Chapter 165 The Man in Double Row with the Defense Tower!
Soon, Gu Rubing led three thousand cavalry back to the camp, and then ordered the three armies to start clearing the battlefield.
At this time, the live broadcast room that had been silent for a long time finally exploded, causing an uproar!
"Holy shit, is it true? Can you handle this?"
"Cao Cao's army has been recuperating for a long time. Liu Caoxie just had a big battle here, and Cao Cao was directly killed by Liu Caoxie?"
"Cao Cao has no cavalry. Cao Cao originally wanted to defeat Liu Caoxie in one go. Who would have expected that the Qingzhou Army would be so strong? Xu Rong just led the front army and held back Cao's army. The two armies fell into a fierce battle!"
"If Chen Gong hadn't kept a secret, Cao Cao would probably have to explain it here!"
All netizens were extremely shocked. The Qingzhou Army had just experienced a hard battle for more than a month, and then came non-stop to support Jizhou. The soldiers were exhausted.
Cao Cao led a large army in a surprise attack. The force was sharp and should have been irresistible. However, the Qingzhou Army resisted Cao Jun's attack. Liu Bei even turned defeat into victory. He personally led 3,000 cavalry and attacked Cao Cao's middle army, killing Cao Cao's army and defeating him. , steal the chicken but lose the rice!
If Chen Gong hadn't arranged a powerful crossbow cover behind him in advance, Cao's army would have suffered heavy casualties even if the entire army was not wiped out!
…………
Cao Jun's tent.
Inside the military tent, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
All the generals in the tent were injured. They were sitting in the military tent with their heads lowered and silent.
They were surrounded by many people, but they were still no match for Guan Zhang. They were beaten back and forth. Facing Cao Cao at this moment, they couldn't raise their heads at all, and they only felt that their faces were dull.
At this moment, Chen Gong handed over his hand and took the lead to break the silence and said: "My lord, I underestimated Liu Bei. I am at fault for losing this battle."
"Why should Gongtai blame itself?"
Cao Cao shook his head and comforted: "Our army is outnumbered. If we want to defeat the enemy, we can only win by surprise. But we didn't expect Liu Bei's army to be so brave. We can't win even with this."
"The defeat of this battle was all due to the small number of our troops. Moreover, the casualties in this battle were not large. It was all due to the powerful crossbows set up on the public platform to cover the rear of the army. Otherwise, our army would have suffered all casualties!"
Cao Cao's eyes were as bright as a sword and he said: "What's more, I have to thank Gongtai for defeating this battle."
Upon hearing this, Chen Gong and the generals in the tent were all stunned and couldn't help but look at each other.
Xiahou Dun raised his hands and asked, "Why did my lord say this?"
"Just think about it, Qingzhou's soldiers are exhausted and overwhelmed in this battle. They can still block our army's attack. What will happen if our army meets the enemy when the Qingzhou army is at its peak?" Cao Cao asked.
Hearing this, Chen Gong's face became more solemn, and he immediately raised his hands and replied: "He is absolutely no match for Liu Bei. Liu Bei has many elite soldiers, and his two generals, Guan and Zhang, are even more brave than ten thousand men. It is impossible to match him."
Hearing the words "Guan Zhang", the faces of the generals in the tent suddenly turned ugly, but none of them spoke to refute.
The two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are so brave that even if they attack together, they cannot defeat them.
"good."
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Although this battle is defeated, because the enemy is exhausted, our army's casualties are not large, and we still have the strength to fight. If after Liu Bei's army has recovered, it will fight with our army in the wild. I’m afraid it will be defeated immediately!”
"Now we know that Liu Bei's army is brave and good at fighting, and it is difficult to compete with him. Our army can stay on the defensive first, wait and see what happens, and then look for good opportunities to defeat the enemy. It is impossible to give Liu Bei another chance to fight head-on!"
"So, although we lost this battle, we avoided being defeated head-on. We can find good opportunities to defeat the enemy again. Isn't it a great victory?"
Hearing Cao Cao's words, everyone in the camp was stunned!
Not only them, but also the netizens in the live broadcast room were stunned when they heard this!
After a while, the barrage in the live broadcast room began to surge wildly!
"Good guy, a genius with logic, he can win every battle he loses!"
"Zhong Er Cao knows how to make money without losing money!"
"When you don't know, you are like, my God, your Cao Cao structure is really big, but little do you know that in the dictionary of Chuunibyou, there is no such word as "lose"!"
"All the failures of Chuunibyou are for the future. Don't bully young people into poverty!"
"But there is one thing to say. Indeed, there is some truth in what Cao Cao said. Now that the fight is like this, if there is a head-on confrontation, you will definitely be beaten to the point of calling me mother!"
"If Cao Cao really insists on defending the city, it seems that Liu Caoxie will not be able to do much against Cao Cao for a while. Cao Cao will lose, but defending the city should not be a problem. The combat power of Yanzhou's heavy armored soldiers is not low. .”
"Indeed, after all, Liu Caoxie only wanted to save Youzhou. He couldn't risk his life for Gongsun Zan. He wouldn't attack the city with all his strength, otherwise the casualties would be too great."
"Although Cao Cao's side was defeated by Liu Caoxie, speaking of it, Cao Cao's side is really not weak. Speaking of which, Cao Cao is the first Liu Caoxie to not take too much advantage in the fight!"
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Chen Gong's expression couldn't help but be moved, and he immediately raised his hands and said: "My lord, it is a great blessing to know that we are weak and try to be strong. As long as we can defend Hejian, Liu Bei will not be able to attack for a long time. Sooner or later, the army will change. Then we can look for good opportunities to break it." !”
At this moment, Cao Ren, who was covered in wounds, suddenly stood up, knelt down on one knee, his face was solemn, and his voice was sonorous: "My lord, I am willing to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the city!"
"Don't say that Liu Bei only has an army of 20,000, but he has an army of one million. Ren can also make him come back defeated!"
"If Liu Jun steps into the city, Ren, I am willing to die to apologize!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes flashed and he said without hesitation: "Okay! Zixiao, you will be solely responsible for defending the city!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
Cao Ren nodded solemnly and said: "The last general will live up to the trust of the lord!"
Cao Cao had great trust in Cao Ren's ability to defend the city!
There is no other reason!
Cao Ren's characteristics are unparalleled in defense. It is simply unparalleled and can be called a magical skill in defending the city!
When the enemy is attacking the city, all the gain effects of the three armies are reduced by 50%, and at the same time, your own unit gains the "immovable as a mountain" characteristic!
It can be said that when Cao Ren defended the city, he could really make millions of troops break their halberds under the city, and make thousands of troops and horses break their hoofs!
Cao Cao thought for a moment, then said: "Gongtai."
"exist!"
Chen Gong immediately cupped his hands.
"Our army is outnumbered, so you can send the meteor cavalry to Yuan Shao to borrow three thousand soldiers and three thousand cavalry!" Cao Cao said.
"yes!"
Chen Gong held his hands, took a deep breath, then immediately turned around and left in a hurry.
…………
Soon, the news of Cao Cao's successful retreat was also learned by the spies, who immediately rushed back to camp and reported it to Gu Rubing.
"Report!"
The spy knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Cao's army has successfully retreated. They are on the defensive and ready to hold on. The enemy general Cao Ren is fully responsible for all matters of city defense."
"knew."
Gu Rubing was not surprised by this news. He nodded and said, "Continue to explore."
"yes!"
The spy nodded and immediately turned around and left the camp.
"Haha, brother, Cao Cao has been beaten into a coward. I think it won't be long before we can storm into the city and capture Cao Cao alive!"
After the spy left, Zhang Fei immediately laughed and said, a fierce fighting spirit rising from his majestic body!
"Third brother, Cao Jun has many capable men, so we should not underestimate the enemy." Gu Rubing frowned slightly and said.
"Brother, there are no talented people in Cao's army. They are just a bunch of drunkards!"
Zhang Fei clenched the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand and said, "If Cao's army hadn't retreated quickly before, Xia Houyuan and Le Jin would have been killed by my Zhangba Snake Spear!"
Gu Rubing was about to say something, but after thinking about it, he finally said nothing.
Zhang Fei didn’t know, but he knew everything!
Cao Ren's force value may not be particularly outstanding, but his ability to defend the city, even if we look at the entire Three Kingdoms, can definitely be ranked in the T0 ranks of the entire Three Kingdoms. He can be called a man who doubles as a defense tower!
When Guan Yu attacked Fancheng and flooded seven armies, he beheaded Pang De and imprisoned him, which shocked China.
At that time, the flood was almost as high as the city, only a few boards away. Guan Yu took a boat to attack the city. The situation was critical. Cao Ren used thousands of soldiers to resist Guan Yu's army and defended the city to the death. Guan Yu could not conquer it.
It can be said that Cao Ren is an absolute famous general in defending the city!
In the entire Three Kingdoms, the only person who could be said to be able to hold Cao Ren's head in terms of city defense was Hao Zhao, who had guarded Hexi for more than ten years and defeated thousands of armies with one city in hand.
"My lord, now that Cao Cao is defeated, he must borrow troops from Yuan Shao. Once Hejian is defeated, Yuan's army will be in danger, and Yuan Shao dare not not borrow troops."
Xi Zhicai thought for a moment and said, "My lord, please send someone to Gongsun Zan. Once Yuan Shao borrows troops, let Gongsun Zan switch from defense to attack and go out of the city to meet Yuan Shao."
"I think so too."
Gu Rubing nodded. He also thought about the possibility of Cao Cao borrowing troops from Yuan Shao, so he immediately gave the order.
After doing all this, Gu Rubing pondered for a moment and said: "Our army is tired from fighting for a long time. We have to rest for three days. After three days, the siege will be successful!"
"yes!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei immediately accepted the order.
Although I know that with Cao Ren guarding Success, there is a high probability that it will not be that easy to fight, but you still have to give it a try. Fight it first and see how it goes!
Soon, three days flew by.
On the fourth day, as soon as it dawned, the desolate sound of the trumpet resounded throughout the camp!
Buzz!
Buzz!
Buzz!
Upon hearing the trumpet call to summon the three armies, a group of Qingzhou warriors immediately put on their armor, hurried out of the camp and began to assemble.
Soon, the three armies had gathered together. Everyone was wearing armor and fighting, and their whole bodies exuded an extremely fierce killing intention, like sharp knives thrust into the sky!
In the previous encirclement and suppression of millions of Yellow Turbans, almost every warrior in Qingzhou killed countless soldiers, which created the shocking murderous intention that can hardly be concealed now, which is completely different from before!
Gu Rubingneng could vaguely feel that the Qingzhou soldiers were undergoing some kind of transformation, and a brand new unit characteristic might be about to be born!
"Lord, the three armies have been assembled and can set off at any time!"
Xu Rong, who was wearing battle armor, stepped forward, raised his hands and said to Gu Rubing.
Gu Rubing nodded and looked around at the army in front of him. The military robes behind him were fluttering in the wind, making hunting sounds!
Gu Rubing turned his horse's head, turned his back to the soldiers of the three armies, drew out his male and female swords, and roared: "Send troops!"
Following Gu Rubing's order, the army immediately began to march.
Nanpi is not far from Lecheng, and the terrain is flat, so under full speed march, Gu Rubing led his army to Lecheng City in just two days, and the army pressed on!
At this time, the city gates of Lecheng City were tightened, and the towering city walls were as solid as gold, lying in front of the army like a natural moat, as if they were insurmountable!
On the city wall, Cao's army, which had already heard the news, was ready, with arrows on the strings and powerful crossbows ready to go. As long as the Qingzhou army came within shooting range, the arrows would rain down immediately!
Cao Ren, wearing black black armor, stood on the city wall, looking solemnly at the densely packed Qingzhou army below the city, and clenched the long sword in his hand.
"Siege the city!"
Gu Rubing didn't say anything more. He drew out his male and female swords and gave a sharp shout.
The moment Gu Rubing's voice fell, a group of Qingzhou warriors immediately rushed towards Lecheng City, like a vast ocean, with a momentum so huge that they seemed to be able to break down the towering Great Wall!
"The stone car, ignite it!"
A general pulled out a heavy sword and roared loudly. The stone-carrying men behind him immediately lifted the huge boulders wrapped in leather, filled them in the wooden fence, and then set the leather on fire.
"emission!"
The moment the sound fell, a group of soldiers suddenly pulled the rope of the carriage, the frame rod rotated, and with a squeak, flint was thrown towards the towering city wall not far away!
boom!
boom!
boom!
The flint bombarded the towering city wall, and a sea of fire immediately spread!
"Aristae, shoot arrows!"
Another general waved his sword and gave an order.
Suddenly, Qingzhou's heavy crossbowmen opened their eyes angrily, using a giant cart as a crossbow, the ten-foot-long arrows on the crossbow cart immediately shot out, like pear blossoms in a rainstorm, towards Cao Jun on the city wall!
Suddenly, flints and arrows pierced the air and fell from the sky. The shrill sound of breaking through the sky kept roaring. Countless long arrows shot up from the bottom. The sea of flints and arrows drowned everything. It was so powerful that it was like the end of the world was coming and the world collapsed!
Cao Ren on the city wall took a deep breath, with no fear on his face, and shouted loudly: "Fire with powerful crossbows!"
Suddenly, the Jizhou strong crossbows on the city wall fired with crossbow bolts, the archers fired thousands of bows at the same time, and the dense curtain of arrows poured down like a waterfall!
Qingzhou's warriors raised their Peng Pai high and put it on their heads, and suddenly the clanging sound kept ringing!
Under the intensive bombardment of powerful crossbows, arrows continued to penetrate Peng Pai, killing the Qingzhou warriors who rushed up first, and blood spurted out on the spot!
When finally a group of Qingzhou warriors rushed under the city wall, set up ladders and began to climb, Cao Ren on top of the city wall suddenly shouted: "Rolling stone!"
The heavily armored soldiers in the city wall immediately lifted the boulder and pushed it towards the Qingzhou soldiers on the ladder. The rocks pierced through the air. The Qingzhou soldiers who were hit by the boulder screamed miserably and fell directly from the ladder!
And some of the Qingzhou warriors who had just rushed under the city wall were smashed into pulp by huge rocks falling from the sky with a bang!
As time passed by, Gu Rubing, who was watching all this from a distance, became more and more solemn.
"Ming Jin!"
Seeing that the casualties began to increase, but there was no progress in the attack on the city, and no one even climbed onto the city wall, Gu Rubing did not choose to attack forcefully. He shouted and ordered the withdrawal.
