My Three Kingdoms is a bit fierce

Xiahoudun did not tell the real situation at that time, because a proud general like him would never say those seemingly quibbling words.

"My lord, I will be defeated by the enemy in front of the battle, and I will lose my military might! Please, the Lord punish sin! Xiahoudun suddenly knelt down in the center of the big tent and said.

Seeing this, Cao Cao hurriedly walked down and comforted: "Yuan Rang doesn't have to be like this!" Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and the defeat in this battle is not your fault! "

My lord!" Xiahoudun was moved in his heart, and looked at Cao Cao who was helping himself up with both hands with an excited face.

"My lord! When I fight again in the future, I am determined to wash away the shame of the snow! Behead Zhang Fei to report to the lord! Xiahoudun hugged his fist at Cao Cao, his face full of determination.

Cao Cao smiled with satisfaction, patted the back of Xiahoudun's hand and said warmly: "Yuan Rang is brave, I believe that he will be able to kill Zhang Fei to be ashamed!" "。 Cao Cao said this in fact, he was completely comforting Xiahoudun, in Cao Cao's heart, he didn't think that Xiahoudun could win against Zhang Fei, after all, he didn't see the real reason for Xiahoudun's defeat just now.

After appeasing Xiahoudun, Cao Cao returned to the main seat and sat down, turned his head and asked Guo Jia on the side: "Fengxiao, what should our army do next?"

Guo Jia saluted Cao Cao with a fist and said: "The morale of our army is currently frustrated, and the first thing to do is to revive the morale. Otherwise, if you attack Xiongguan with a morale-frustrated division, whether you can capture it or not, the losses will be unimaginable!

Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Then how can our army restore its morale?"

Guo Jia's eyes flashed with a trace of unbearability, and then replied: "Please send an order to the whole army, and after allowing the clearance to be broken, the soldiers of the whole army will loot several county seats!" Re-energize the morale of the army with women and goods!

Cao Cao couldn't help but be shocked, and then his face was embarrassed, and he lowered his head and thought about it. When the generals under the tent heard this, many people showed excitement, which showed that Guo Jia's strategy was still very effective.

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao quietly, waiting for Cao Cao's decision. Although Guo Jia offered this plan, Guo Jia actually did not want Cao Cao to adopt it in his heart.

At this time, Cao Cao felt hesitant. He knew that this strategy would be very effective, but he was a little reluctant to use it, not because he felt pity for the ordinary people, but because he was afraid that if he did, it would be difficult to control the people's hearts after the occupation and annexation of the state in the future.

After hesitating for a long time, Cao Cao suddenly showed a ruthless and resolute look. Seeing this, Guo Jia knew that he had already made a decision, and he also knew what his decision was.

I saw Cao Cao glance around at everyone, and then ordered: "Yuan Rang, Zhong Kang, you two immediately send an order to the whole army, which general captures Guguan first, I will make him the Taishou of the Shangdang; In addition, after capturing Huguan, the officers and men of the whole army were allowed to sack the three counties of Yang County, Pingyang, and Jiangxian for seven days, and all the officers and men of the whole army in these three counties would not be punished for doing anything in these three counties within seven days! "

Yes!" The two excitedly agreed, and then withdrew from the big tent and went to the herald.

"Mr. Tian Feng, when do you think the Cao army will attack?" Looking at the Cao Jun military camp in the distance, Zhang Fei asked.

Tian Feng thought for a moment and replied: "Cao Jun's morale has been frustrated, but I'm afraid it will take some time to repair." Otherwise, if the morale of the army is frustrated to attack Xiongguan, Cao's army will be in vain and suffer heavy losses! Tian

Feng's prediction was not wrong, but his wisdom was still slightly inferior to Guo Jia.

Zhang Fei nodded, feeling that what Tian Feng said was good.

However, early the next morning, Cao Cao's army was in action.

As soon as he learned of this situation, Tian Feng couldn't help but be taken aback. He didn't understand why Cao Cao was in such a hurry to attack the city, and it was very unfavorable for Cao Cao to rush to attack the city under the current circumstances!

Tian Feng didn't bother to eat breakfast and ran up the city wall. At this time, Zhang Fei was already standing on the tower of the city gate with the Zhangba snake spear in his hand.

Tian Feng came to the battlement wall and looked out of the city. I saw that the barracks opened their mouths like monsters, and groups of soldiers came out of the barracks like a torrent of open gates.

The flow of troops flowing out of the camp gathered into a well-organized phalanx, and then advanced towards Huguan.

Cao Jun lined up only 400 steps away from the Huguan city wall, and looked down from the city tower, only to see the banner rolling like a cloud, and the cold light shining like snow.

Seeing this scene, Tian Feng couldn't help frowning. The enemy is huge, and the outcome of this battle is unpredictable!

"General, are you ready to defend?" Tian Feng turned his head and asked Zhang Fei, who looked as usual on the side.

Zhang Fei glanced at Tian Feng and replied, "Don't worry, our army has never slackened!"

"How is the general going to defend it?" Tian Feng asked again.

Zhang Fei pointed to the catapult soldiers who were busy in an open space inside the city wall and replied, "Big brother gave us so many catapults, it's not good-looking!" As soon as Cao Jun attacks, I will give them a good taste! Before they reach the wall, they will lose half of it.

Tian Feng nodded and did not raise any objections. Tian Feng thought for a while and then suggested: "You can push all the repeater carts up the city wall. When Cao Jun attacks, he will kill and injure Cao Jun in large numbers with catapults! "

Zhang Fei originally had this intention, and now that he heard Tian Feng say the same, he nodded and said;" Good! I'll give the order at once! He immediately ordered one of the adjutant generals around him to do this.

After the deputy general left, Zhang Fei smiled at Tian Feng and said: "I thought that only my old Zhang liked to play big, but I didn't expect that Mr. Tian Feng you also have this hobby!"

Hearing Zhang Fei say this, Tian Feng suddenly showed an expression of crying and laughing.

On this issue, although Zhang Fei and Tian Feng both decided to push out all the heavy equipment, the two had completely different ideas. Zhang Fei wanted to take out all the good things that Chen Chu gave him, completely out of the idea of killing chickens with a knife; The reason why Tian Feng also made such a decision was after careful consideration, Tian Feng believed that giving Cao Jun a head-on blow with the power of thunder would definitely hit Cao Jun's sharp spirit, and could make Cao Cao suspicious, which would help his future defense.

Although Tian Feng's thoughts were different from Zhang Fei's, Tian Feng did not say anything, after all, now is not the time to gossip.

Cao Cao's army outside the city began to prepare in the early hours of the morning, and it lasted an hour and a half, and nearly 300,000 troops were arrayed in a vast open space outside Huguan.

The 300,000-strong army seems to have no end, which makes people feel afraid.

The attack formation discharged by Cao Cao's army was a traditional attack formation, and the entire army formation was divided into infantry army formations and cavalry on both wings. The infantry army formation is composed of dozens of phalanxes of comparable size, which are divided into two major parts, the front and the rear. The phalanx in front of the line is the siege phalanx, and at the front of each phalanx are the sword and shield soldiers, followed by the assault soldiers carrying ladders or pushing the carts rushing the city; The phalanx in the back generally does not participate in the siege, their task is to press the formation, this kind of pressure formation is generally called the Chinese army, and the generals in charge of the command are generally in this Chinese army. In addition to these infantry formations, there were nearly 20,000 cavalry on both flanks of the infantry formation, whose task was to deal with possible enemy surprise attacks and protect the two wings of the entire army.

Cao Cao rode on top of his beloved BMW and stood under the banner of the Chinese army, surrounded by Guo Jia and generals such as Xiahoudun, Xu Chu, and Xiahouyuan.

Looking at the momentum of his hundreds of thousands of troops, Cao Cao couldn't help but be full of pride. I saw him raise his whip and laugh loudly: "Why is it difficult for my 300,000 tiger and wolf army to capture the projectile pot pass!" The

generals around him couldn't help but show pride when they heard this.

At this moment, Cao Cao saw the figures on the wall of Huguan from afar, and many boxy and box-like things were pushed onto the city wall. Cao Cao couldn't help but feel strange.

"Fengxiao, what's that box?" Cao Cao pointed to the city wall, turned his head and asked Guo Jia.

Guo Jia did not answer Cao Cao immediately, but looked carefully for a while before saying with a ashamed face: "Back to the lord, I am really ashamed!" I don't know it!

Cao Cao couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't expect that even Guo Jia, who was well-informed and wealthy, didn't know the object.

So what exactly is it? What is the purpose of the Northern Army to push this thing up the city wall? Cao Cao couldn't help but think in his heart.

At this moment, a general came running to report: "Lord Qiqi, our army has been prepared, should we attack the city immediately?"

Cao Cao threw away his doubts and ordered the general: "Command the army, attack the city immediately!" "

Yes!" The general shouted his promise and immediately withdrew.

A moment later, hundreds of war drums in Cao's army rang out violently. Suddenly it rumbled in mid-air like the thunder before a storm.

As the war drums sounded, hundreds of thousands of Cao soldiers shouted as if they had been injected with a dose of stimulant, like thunder.

At this time, Tian Feng, who was standing on the city tower, couldn't help but be surprised. Cao Jun's performance just now clearly showed that their morale was high, and what Tian Feng didn't understand was how Cao Jun could recover his morale so quickly.

Tian Feng is only Tian Feng after all, and there is still a certain gap between him and Guo Jia in terms of wisdom.

Cao Cao's army began to move to the sound of war drums. I saw that the two attacking phalanxes broke away from the main formation, and slowly pressed towards Huguan in a neat formation.

The strength of a phalanx is 5,000 people, that is, a battalion, and the two phalanxes attack together, so the troops invested by Cao Cao's army in the first wave of attacks are 10,000.

This first wave of attacks was largely tentative.

The 10,000 attacking troops slowly approached Huguan, 300 meters, 200 meters, 150 meters. At a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, the soldiers of the two phalanxes made a move at the same time. I saw that the sword and shield soldiers at the front of the line raised their shields at the same time, and the soldiers carrying the ladder and pushing the cart behind them were also protected by other sword and shield soldiers with shields. Cao Cao's army was well-trained, and they did this to defend against arrows shot down from the city walls. But they weren't greeted by the expected arrows, but...

Because Cao Cao's army had to use a shield to protect the top of his head, the formation of the two phalanxes was tighter intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhang Fei, who was standing on the tower of the city gate, saw this scene, and couldn't help but crack his mouth and said with a smile: "What a good target!" I didn't have such a good target when I was training! Then

he turned his head and ordered the herald beside him;" Order the artillerymen and let them hit me hard at these two targets! The artillery in Zhang Fei's mouth refers to the catapult troops, and Chen Chu organized the catapult troops separately and named them artillery. Of course, Chen Chu's name was completely influenced by later generations.
