The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 484
Cao Cao and others who watched Zhao Yun rushing out of the city from the rear were silent for a while, and no one spoke for a while. Is Cao Jun weak?Not weak, but strong, whether it is a soldier or the future is not bad.

However, in front of Zhao Yun and the soldiers led by Zhao Yun, it can be said that there is no combat power at all. Three thousand soldiers, outside the city of Qinchuan, where the army gathered, broke through numerous obstacles, beheaded the generals and broke the formation, and then burned the heavily protected area. Jing Lan, it can be said that he spared a circle outside the city, and then broke through Xia Houshang's block and returned to the city.

3000 people came out, and more than [-] people went back. Although the loss was not small, they burned Cao Jun's wells and achieved their goal.

On the other hand, on the side of Cao Jun, nearly [-] soldiers and horses went forward and back to stop the siege, not only failed to stop Zhao Yun, but suffered countless casualties, and even the generals who commanded the army were beheaded by Zhao Yun.

It was Guo Huai and Xia Houshang who suffered the most in the final pursuit. They wanted to follow Zhao Yun into the city, but they were blocked by dense bows and arrows and terrifying bed crossbows. Not only did they fail to enter the city, but they suffered heavy losses.

Are Guo Huai and Xiahou Shang wrong?That's right, at least Cao Cao thought that Guo Huai and Xiahoushang did the right thing. Even after Cao Cao saw Guo Huai and Xiahoushang's intentions, he immediately came down to the various troops to prepare. As long as Guo Huai and Xiahoushang broke through the city gate, Cao's army followed will arrive.

It's a pity that the Qinchuan city tower had been prepared for a long time. Under such a dense attack of bows and arrows, it was almost impossible for Guo Huai and others to kill people in the city.

Xia Houshang's only mistake was that he failed to block Zhao Yun. If Xia Houshang blocked Zhao Yun for a while, Guo Huai's soldiers and horses arrived, and there was no guarantee that Zhao Yun, who was outstanding in martial arts, would be left behind.

"Prime Minister, the siege of the city has been blocked, the siege weapons have been greatly damaged, and morale is low. We should withdraw our troops and fight again in the future!"

Cheng Yu frowned slightly when he saw that Cao's soldiers and horses were not as brave as before in attacking the city, and they moved slowly. He had no choice but to ask Cao Cao's suggestion to suspend the attack.

"Um....."

Cao Cao also saw the situation of the siege soldiers and horses. It was of little significance to continue the attack. He also meant to withdraw the troops, but he was unwilling.

"otherwise!"

Dong Zhao hastily objected: "Our soldiers and horses are slightly injured, but the soldiers defending the city are also exhausted. If we withdraw our troops at this time, it will definitely give the enemy defending the city a rest time. If we continue to attack, we can break the city. "

After listening to Dong Zhao's words, Cao Cao felt the same as what he thought, losing a few troops is nothing, as long as he can win Qin Chuan and defeat Chen Ziming, the whole Liangzhou belongs to Cao Cao, so why care about this little damage.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao will order to send troops to replace the siege troops and continue to attack the city. His only advantage is that he has a large number of troops. Sorry.

"Prime Minister."

When Cao Cao was about to give an order, a voice made Cao Cao stop. It was none other than Cao Cao's most important counselor Xi Zhong and Xi Zhicai.

"gentlemen."

Cao Cao nodded slightly to Xi Zhicai, then motioned for Xi Zhicai to continue, looking at Xi Zhicai expectantly, hoping that Xi Zhicai would give Cao Cao good advice and defeat Chen Ziming.

If it was someone else, Cao Cao might not be happy, but Xi Zhicai is different, Xi Zhicai's strategy is very scary, every strategy must be successful, if Liu Bei is not too powerful, and Liu Bei's luck is also good, otherwise Cao Cao will not face being punished The point where Liu Bei was fully suppressed.

"Prime Minister, today's attack on the city has lost all vigor, and the siege weapon has lost a lot. If we change soldiers and horses, it will be difficult to break the city, and the casualties must not be increased in vain."

After Cao Cao heard this, he frowned slightly. This was different from what he thought. Cao Cao was still inclined to continue to attack the city, but he had to consider Xi Zhicai's opinion. However, when Cao Cao saw Xi Zhicai with a calm face, he immediately reacted , showing great joy, hurriedly said: "Mr. has a clever plan, don't hide it."

Cao Cao is too familiar with Xi Zhicai, which is why Cao Cao trusts Xi Zhicai. In Cao Cao's view, Xi Zhicai's character is completely seen by him, and Xi Zhicai has no secrets in front of him.

Xi Zhicai put on a calm look, he must have a clever plan in mind, and when Cao Cao opened his mouth, Cao Cao immediately cooperated with Xi Zhicai, he didn't care about these things, as long as he could get a clever plan, it was nothing.

But who knows, Xi Zhi is really naive, or naive in front of Cao Cao. As a top strategist, especially a top strategist around a hero like Cao Cao, the way of cherishing one's life is essential.

"Hehe, you can't hide it from the prime minister." Xi Zhicai smiled slightly, and then said: "I see that everyone in Qinchuan is guarding the army, Zhang Liao is guarding the west gate, Qu Yi is guarding the east gate, Zhao Yun is guarding the south gate, and the south gate is the most important. , the prime minister is mainly attacking the south gate, and Zhao Yun guards it, but that's all."

"Zhang Liao on the west gate, and Qu Yi on the east side are all good generals in the world, and it is no accident that they are guarding the city." Xi Zhicai said here, seeing Cao Cao and the crowd were puzzled, and did not understand what Xi Zhicai wanted to express, continue opened the mouth.

"The gates of Qinchuan are all guarded by generals, and it seems that there is no one else. However, where are the generals such as Zhang Fei and Ma Chao? The prime minister's army besieging the city is not enough to force out such generals from Qinchuan City."

Seeing that Cao Cao and the others began to frown and think, Xi Zhicai did not procrastinate, and continued: "Chen Ziming is resourceful and resourceful, and he will not know how to stick to Qin Chuan. The only way is to lose. What he is doing now must have other plans."

"Sir, what does Chen Ziming want to do?" Cao Cao asked hurriedly. This was not because he was playing with Xi Zhicai, but because Cao Cao was really in a hurry. Chen Ziming had a huge shadow in Cao Cao's heart.

"Without him, night strikes your ears." Xi Zhicai said firmly: "Chen Ziming asked Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Qu Yi to guard them, and it seemed that they were going all out, but each of them had no more than ten thousand troops, and the rest of the troops were in the city. Restoration, and the generals Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and others will not go to battle, so they must be recharging their energy."

"Now the prime minister's army is besieging the city and attacking from three sides. If Chen Ziming does not abandon the city, he can only break through the prime minister's army." Xi Zhicai's voice kept coming, making Cao Cao and the others understand more and more that Chen Ziming was preparing to give Cao Cao Come on hard.

"Abandoning the city is absolutely impossible." Cao Cao knew very well that Chen Ziming would not let him take Liangzhou. Once Chen Ziming abandoned Qinchuan Jiancheng and the army left the city, he would be chased and killed by Cao Cao, and he would be powerless to stop Cao Cao's progress.

And it is impossible to defend to the death. As Xi Zhicai said, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are far above Chen Ziming, and he defends Qinchuan. Cao Cao is confident that he will consume all the defenders in Qinchuan City. The final result is still Chen Ziming's defeat and the loss of Liangzhou .

"Send the order to the ban, continue to attack the city, the sun goes down, you can withdraw the troops and return to the camp."

After that, Cao Cao was not watching the battle, and brought everyone back to the camp. Now there is no need to continue watching the battle. The victory or defeat is tonight, and he has to go back to prepare gifts for Chen Ziming.
