The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 481
"Hmph, let's fight!"

Cao Cao sneered when he heard the shout of killing, and rushed out of the camp of the Chinese army with his army. At this time, several other camps rushed out a group of Cao troops.

Thousands of horses are galloping, and several fire dragons are swimming back and forth, looking for prey.

"Where are the enemy troops?"

After rushing for a certain distance, Cao Cao found that his men and horses were all around him, but he couldn't see the attacking enemy, so he asked around suspiciously.

"Report."

"Report to Prime Minister, the enemy army has retreated to Qinchuan City."

"What!?" When Cao Cao heard this, he was suddenly depressed. He put on such a big posture, but you ran away. What's the matter?

"Prime Minister, all the troops and horses are out, why not take the opportunity to attack the city."

Dong Zhao came to Cao Cao's side to offer advice. Anyway, the army was dispatched, and it would be bad to go back to rest now. Sooner or later, Qinchuan City would be attacked, so why not start attacking now.

"Um......"

After Cao Cao heard this, he frowned and thought hard, then looked up at the quiet Qinchuan City, and then smiled coldly: "This is Chen Yu's plan. Fight again."

"This... promise."

All the ministries could only follow orders and lead their troops back to their respective camps. After running around for a while, it was already early morning, and the soldiers were all tired. When they returned to the camp, they took off their clothes and armor, and began to rest. Anyway, the night raid was over, and there will be no fighting tonight. , But soon, Cao Cao's military order came.

"Decree that all ministries must not be taken lightly, and soldiers must not leave their armor or body."

After Cao Cao came back, he thought to himself, what does it mean that Chen Ziming fell to the ground, came to attack the camp, but ran back halfway, what is this called, is it really to lure him to attack the city?

"kill......"

"Boom..."

Just when Cao Cao's thoughts began to blur and he was dozing off, there was a sound of shouting and killing. When Cao Cao heard that this was an enemy attack, he hurriedly raised his long sword and rushed out of the big tent. At this time, all the generals began to rectify their troops.

"Prime Minister, there are shouts of killing from the direction of Qinchuan City, but no enemy troops are seen."

Soon, Cao Cao knew what was going on, and it was the same as before, only hearing his voice but not seeing him.

"Prime Minister, this is Chen Ziming's plan to exhaust the army. I should ignore it and let the army rest at ease."

Hua Yun looked a little tired. As a counselor, his spirit was far behind that of a general, so how could he stand up to such a commotion.

"otherwise."

Cheng Yu immediately objected: "If there is a truth in the emptiness, our army will be in danger."

"Command the ministries, be careful, don't be lighthearted."

Cao Cao also thought it was better to be careful, he couldn't afford to gamble, if Chen Ziming came to make a real bet, he wouldn't have enough people to trouble Chen Ziming.

"kill......"

"Boom..."

The sound of shouting and killing came again, this time Cao Cao was not as quick as before, but he sat up unhurriedly, picked up his long sword, and walked out of the big tent.

"It's another false attack, damn Chen Yu."

Cao Cao's temper became more and more irritable. There was nothing he could do. He didn't sleep well at night. As soon as he lay down, he heard the sound of killing.

"Prime Minister, it's not an option to go on like this. If things go on like this, the soldiers will be exhausted and their combat power will drop drastically. At that time, the enemy will attack again..."

Cheng Yu felt that the status quo had to be changed. They were too passive now. If Cao Cao had launched an attack from the beginning, there wouldn't be so many incidents.

"Order all the ministries to retreat ten miles and send out scouts to closely monitor the movement of Qinchuan City."

Cao Cao also felt exhausted for a while, and had no choice but to order the camp to retreat and distance himself from Qinchuan City, so that even if Chen Ziming sent troops to destroy it, he would not be able to escape so easily.

And as soon as the gate of Qinchuan City is opened, he will be able to receive the news and make preparations. Unlike now, when he leaves Qinchuan City, he will rush to the camp in one charge, which makes his troops quite coping.

"Hehe, Cao Cao can't hold on anymore."

Standing on the tower, watching Cao Jun pack up his luggage and pull out his stronghold to retreat, Chen Ziming felt a little disappointed. If there was another day or two of trouble, Cao Cao's 20 troops would still have little fighting power. Unfortunately, Cao Cao reacted too quickly. It was only a day. Just retreat.

"Prime Minister, why don't you take the opportunity to charge for a while."

Seeing Cao Jun's chaos, Ma Chao's eyes lit up. This is an opportunity, and he can kill as many as he can.

"Cao Cao will be so careless, there must be soldiers and horses lying in ambush on the left and right, so you can't go out to fight."

If Cao Cao was so careless, he wouldn't be Cao Cao. Under his nose, how could he be unprepared for a surprise attack? Chen Ziming can assure you that it is very difficult for the soldiers and horses sent out to make a surprise attack to come back alive.

"It's better to stay far away, so that you don't have to say hello to Cao Cao when you get out of the city."

With Cao Cao's retreat, the terrain is much wider, and the space for both sides to operate is much larger.

"Boom... Boom..."

On the third day, Cao Cao recharged his energy and began to besiege the city with a large army. The city was fully prepared to attack the city.

"Zhang Liao guarded the west gate, Qu Yi guarded the east gate, Zhao Yun guarded the south gate, and sent additional men to the north gate to prevent Cao Cao's surprise attack."

Cao Cao's army besieged the city, surrounded by three and missing one. The main direction of attack was the south, and the north was empty.

"Prime Minister, the tower is dangerous, you should go to the back first to rest."

Seeing the rows of catapults erected outside the city, Zhao Yun frowned, wanting Chen Ziming to go down first, the catapult attack is not a joke, even he needs to dodge carefully.

"It's okay, it's still early for Cao Jun to attack, I'll take a look."

Cao Jun's siege is not comparable to the herdsmen on the grassland. There are countless siege weapons, which are simply a display of ancient siege weapons.

There were as many as five hundred catapults in front of them, and there were rows of bed crossbows in front of the catapults. When attacking, the bed crossbows could suppress the archers on the city wall.

Flying bridges, ladders, nest carts, well rails, and Linchong Lvgong carts formed a phalanx, and Chen Ziming felt oppressed. If he defended such a powerful siege, it would take the lives of many soldiers to defend it.

"Order the catapults to destroy Cao Jun's catapults first, and not allow Cao Jun's wells to approach the city wall. A group of ten will destroy Cao Jun's large siege weapons."

Jinglan, in particular, was nothing but a bow and arrow stand, which suppressed the defenders on the city wall too much, and other siege weapons were also difficult to deal with. Once they got close to the city wall, it would be a disaster for the defenders.

"Prime Minister, don't worry, our army's weapons are superior to Cao's army, which will surely make it impossible for Cao's army to break through this city." Compared with weapons, Zhao Yun thinks he is worthy of Cao's army, but Liu Bei Group has a place that specializes in researching and manufacturing various weapons.

"Don't be careless, if you hold on to today, you will win."

Seeing that Cao Jun was ready to attack, Chen Ziming quickly left the tower after a few orders. He was not as skillful as Zhao Yun, and a single stone could kill him.
