Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 140 Confrontation Again
The heavy snow in [-] AD was like a good relative of a female friend. It only came once a month, and it took a week to leave. The thick goose feather snow fell for more than seven days, covering the fields, rivers, roads and bridges. They were all covered with a thick layer, and then they left contentedly.

December [-]th, Tmall Carnival for later generations, the days when wallets were crying, the face of God who had been dark for many days finally showed a smile again, the long-lost sunshine shone on the earth, making people shivering in the cold wind for several days The soldiers of the two armies can also be regarded as breathing a sigh of relief.

But sometimes good weather does not necessarily mean a good situation, because without the obstruction of the weather, the desire of human beings to kill each other once again filled the pupils of the soldiers of the two armies, and the smell of gunpowder between the two major military groups in Hebei and Central Plains also once again Intensified.

This time, he didn't care about glare or not. In the early morning, facing the strong sunlight, Cao Cao opened the small cannon binoculars of Robber Wang Hou, and looked at the glare of the snow field. Under his uncomfortable gaze, Small black dots appeared one after another in the field of vision, and finally converged into a huge black line.

In Yuan Shao's era, the Hebei Army is almost invincible on the frontal battlefield!
After seven days of blizzard, Yuan Jun was obviously consumed a lot. Almost all the Hebei infantrymen in the front row had frostbite on their faces, and some of the hands holding the halberd shields were missing one or two fingers. Such a huge legion is moving forward like a wall, and the sense of oppression it brings is still enough to suffocate.

Although encountered a blizzard, Yuan Shao obviously walked out of the shadow of the last Guandu fiasco. He changed to a rear-mounted military drum and a command vehicle covered with a canopy. He stood on the vehicle and followed the dead horses to fight With the shaking of the car, Yuan Shao's tall body wearing a full set of iron armor was also swaying non-stop, and there was still a triumphant smile on his old face that he was sure of winning.

But what makes Cao Cao fearful today is not his 9-strong army, but the Hebei peasants who follow behind, dressed in ragged clothes and shivering from the cold, with soil baskets and shovels in their hands, and large baskets of shovels. !
The strength of the working people is really infinite, and the Hebei army advanced to a distance of 100 meters away from Cao Jun as it did on the first day. As Yuan Shao suddenly pulled out his command sword and gave an order, Yuan Jun who was holding a whip and stick Shouting and roaring, the Hebei citizen husband was shivering from the cold, like a little tiger that had descended from the mountain, rushing fiercely into the snow with his tools, digging desperately into the pure white snow with a basket.

It's really making people mess around in the rivers and lakes, and they have to pay back after all!In the battle of Xiapi, during the blizzard, Cao Cao used the snow to build a snow mountain, which was as high as the city of Xiapi, and used archers to suppress the defenders of Lu Bu's Xuzhou army. Now, Yuan Shao is also adapting to local conditions!Also using snow, a material with strong plasticity, to build a snow mountain to suppress him, is really retaliation!
However, Cao Cao has nothing to do with Yuan Shao casting snow mountains!Before the heavy snowfall, he paid the price of 3000 dead and injured, and once severely damaged Yuan Shao's earth-building troops, but the blood on the cavalry armor of Cao Jun who killed a pair in Yuan Jun had not been drained yet, and Yuan Shao had already drained the blood on the other end. The restoration of Zhushan's projects is almost endless compared to manpower in Hebei.

What's more, this time it is used everywhere, soft and easy to dig snow!And Yuan Shao also figured it out, the tens of thousands of horses he placed in front directly formed a fish-scale defensive formation, his formation was mainly defensive, and he didn't want to fight Cao Cao again like seven days ago.

Seeing the speed almost visible to the naked eye, a snow wall with a length of several miles, a width of more than 30 meters, and a height of half a meter has been piled up in front of his army. Putting down the binoculars, Cao Cao helplessly rubbed his eyes dazzled by the glare of the sun , but turned and paced to the other side of the observation deck.

Underneath, Cao Jun is also building, but compared with Yuan Shao's magnificent snow mountain, the building under his command is much shorter and poorer. Under Wang Hou's order, the strong men transferred from the rear camp cleaned up the snow in the camp. Rolling over, they piled up big snowdrifts like Eskimo igloos against the low concrete wall for frontier defense, and then two groups of people fetched water and poured water on the side facing Yuan Jun with ladles, while the other side They were digging with a shovel at the place facing away from Yuan Jun, and some of the excavated blocks had already taken shape.

The snow is stuck on the ground like a half watermelon that has been hollowed out. In the severe cold north wind, the splashed water freezes into a thick ice block in an instant, and a layer of solid ice is sprinkled on the inside. The shaped fortress is formed!
Amidst the yelling of the young men in the rear, Cao Jun, who was stationed at the front, was really excited to retreat in and try it.

But you can only be a thief the day before yesterday, not a thousand days to prevent a thief!Building two rows of egg-shaped fortifications in the front battalion is only to provide a position for the cao army infantry stationed at the front to defend against arrows. The real killer is the huge return artillery position of the rear army!

Here, Wang Hou also went into battle in person, clapping his arms and yelling rudely. Amidst his yelling, the strong men of the rear battalion rushed back with one wooden bucket after another.

Soon, it was time for the two major military groups to face each other. More than [-] strong men fought together, even at night, and the snowfields within a radius of more than ten miles were completely excavated. , Surrounding Cao Cao's Guandu camp, there are three snow-capped mountains ten meters high, several miles long, and an unknown width on the left, middle and right, piled up in Cao Cao's telescope.

At this time, Yuan Shao's infantry in the front line had all retreated between the snow-capped mountains, because there was no need for defense. After casting the first layer of snow-capped mountains, Yuan Jun only needed to fight snow from behind, and then poured them down in baskets along the front. , this snow-covered monster seemed to come alive, stretching forward continuously. At this time, it was already 70 meters away from the Guandu camp. Although it was not enough for a bow and arrow to shoot accurately, but the projectile was more than enough.

In order to pretend to be aggressive, Yuan Shao even drove his chariot to the mountain. Standing on the ten-meter-high snow-capped mountain, Wang Hou's six- to seven-meter-high watchtower became a dwarf. , you can see the middle of Cao Jun’s circular parapet, I don’t know what flashes are reflected from the watchtower on the left, and I probably know the position where Cao Cao watched the battle. There, Yuan Shao’s handsome old face like a positive figure can’t help but emerge. With a haughty smile, he pulled out the commanding sword again with a creaking creak. Following his sword movement, the dense phalanx of Hebei archers carried heavy arrow pots and held bows, and they were also imposing. Walking in formation, he paced to the edge of the snow mountain.

"Ready! Draw the bow!"

The captains and captains of each phalanx yelled at the top of their voices. In the cold wind, the bowstrings that had been stiffened by the cold also made a creaking sound that made the roots of the teeth sore. Tens of thousands of cold lights The gloomy armor-piercing arrows headed in the direction of Cao Jun's camp, slanting toward the sky.

"put!"

There was another command, and the countless arrows were as dense as the blizzard a few days ago. They drew a murderous black arc in the air, and with the acceleration of the drop, they fell hard on Cao Jun on the opposite side. In the big camp, under the sound of crackling, the entire Cao army became a mess of ants, and some unlucky ones were shot directly into hedgehogs. The defenders in the front row squatted under the breast wall in embarrassment, while those in the back row rushed towards Wang Houxiu Among the big eggshells, especially the watchtowers at the front, the wooden spires unique to the Han Dynasty built without Wang Hou's design, are crackling and falling off as if grass had grown. Seeing Cao Cao's commanding position retracted, Yuan Shao couldn't help laughing with his head raised.

"Cao Ah! Just because you are an eunuch, you are worthy to fight with me, Yuan Shao? Shoot me, shoot these gangsters to death!"

Amidst Yuan Shao's arrogant laughter, more arrows flew towards Cao Jun's Guandu camp in a mess.

At this moment, facing Yuan Shao's observation tower less than 100 meters away, Cao Cao stared at the crackling arrows falling in front of him. After a while, the old man roared angrily.

"Wang Tuqiu hasn't moved yet? Let him be beaten by the truth! Yuan Manzi can't be suppressed, so the truth will tie him back to the cannon and throw him out!"

"Here!"

The orderly clasped his fists heavily, and hurriedly descended the watchtower. Under the attack of arrows that rained from the opposite side, he carried a shield on his back, and ran towards the rear army with grinning teeth.

"Wang Shijun! The prime minister ordered you to fight back quickly! The prime minister said, otherwise you will be tied back to the cannon and thrown out!"

"Wang Hou takes orders!"

Throw me out and make your daughter a widow?Old guy, free arrows, it would be nice to charge for a while, how much money will this save?

He was slandering in his heart, of course, Wang Hou didn't dare to say it on the face, he clasped his fists helplessly back, and immediately grinned with the crushing teeth of a senior official: "Didn't you hear that? Hurry up and prepare to throw stones to fight back! The prime minister said If you can't beat Yuan Jun, I'll tie you back to the cannon and throw you out!"

It means to throw your old man out!What kind of lord and what kind of general is he? Zhao Yun lazily got on his horse, kicked his horse and ran around the three-mile-long returning gun emplacement, shouting loudly at the same time. ordered.

"So you have orders, target! Yuan Jun Snow Mountain, free fire! Free fire!"

It was also the sound of the rope creaking and creaking in the cold wind. Dozens of strong men were shivering from the cold, gnashing their teeth and pulling up the heavy return gun counterweight. On the other end, a few ammunition soldiers were on the cart, Pushing a large piece of crystal clear things over.

To be honest, the ammunition for this kind of large trebuchet is really lacking in the vast plain of the Central Plains!There is a fertile field everywhere, and there are a lot of stones in Jishui, but there are not many stones weighing hundreds of catties that can be used as trebuchet ammunition, so when he attacked Xiapi City, Wang Hou demolished Xuzhou's building stones. Throwing a piece of Lu Bu's city wall, he counterattacked Yuan Shao a while ago, he threw a large piece of ignited coal, but now it is cold and full of snow, the burning effect of the coal is really reduced too much, and the rear camp has some It's not enough to burn, how could he be willing to waste it on Yuan Jun?
Fortunately, in this cold weather, he was provided with new high-quality ammunition.

River ice!

Dig open the frozen Jishui, draw the large chunks of river ice by horse-drawn horses to the vicinity of the return artillery position, and then mobilize the people to fetch water with wooden barrels. There are plenty of wooden barrels, and the cold river water takes less than an hour. It was another solid lump of ice, 27 buckets of frozen ice piled together, and then watered in the middle, a bigger ice lump was formed. In the busy process, each return to the edge of the cannon , they all stacked a huge ice ammunition of more than [-] yuan. Watching Min Zhuang under his command lift such a heavy ice bomb and stack it on the throwing net bag of the return gun, looking at Yuan Jun who piled up like an avalanche from afar Snow Mountain, Wang Hou also revealed a cold and stern smile.

"Let's have a snowball fight!"

…………

former army.

Countless arrow rains have completely overwhelmed Cao Jun's head. The more than 5000 defensive infantry can only shrink behind each ice-carved bunker, not daring to show their heads. Those ice-carved bunkers also seem to have a layer of straw Like that, densely packed with arrows, squinting his eyes to enjoy this scene, slowly raised his sword again, Yuan Shao roared high.

"Soldiers, punish the people and punish crimes. At this moment, for the sake of the big man, give this general..."

Call ~
Before the command to charge was issued, Yuan Shao felt an ear-piercing vibration coming from his ears, and raised his head in astonishment. In his sight, arrows collided with mid-air and crackled, and a huge crystal clear object slammed into the air. It hit him. Under his horrified gaze, the thing didn't hit anyone, but hit the foot of the snow mountain. The huge snow mountain seemed to shake violently due to the huge kinetic energy. A large piece collapsed on the edge of the snow-capped mountain, and a dozen Hebei archers were caught off guard and screamed and fell from the collapsed area.

It was so unbelievable that Yuan Shao even disregarded his own safety, jumped out of the command vehicle, and looked down in person. Looking at the huge river ice that was more than two meters long and one meter high, he shook his head and gasped in horror. Chill.

"Who can have such a huge force to throw this thing over???"

"General, be careful!"

While speaking, Xu You tugged at his armor again in panic, and pushed Yuan Shao to lie down in the snow. In mid-air, more giant ice cubes were thrown over.

This time Yuan Jun's archers were not so lucky. The whole piece of river ice was thrown away, and the homing cannon shot the river ice frozen in buckets. This thing is composed of 27 buckets of ice, which is obviously not so strong. In mid-air, the part that was splashed with water and frozen fell apart again. Buckets of several kilograms of ice cubes were messed up in mid-air, and finally fell fiercely on the heads of the densely packed Yuan Jun archers.

This ice bucket challenge is completely deadly. When it hits the head with a bang, the head immediately explodes. When it hits the thigh with a click, the thigh bone is broken immediately. The snow under the feet is too hard, which has become a disadvantage. Some ice buckets shattered with a crash, and the sharp ice fragments had the effect of killing people all over the place. The archers who lacked armor covered their bleeding wounds and lay on the snowy mountain screaming miserably. The entire bow and arrow position , suddenly made a mess.

Once again, Xu You dragged him down, and while being dragged, Yuan Shao roared angrily.

"Don't retreat! Don't retreat? Keep shooting, order the infantry to attack, and capture Cao Aman's camp! Attack!"

On the other side, on the watchtower, Cao Cao laughed out loud. He even gave up the command of the front line. Holding a sword and dangling a set of official robes of the prime minister, he ran down the watchtower like a big duck.

Returning to the artillery position, he was directing the three mountains in front of him, shouting Zhenghuan, and suddenly a shout sounded beside him.

"Returning to the artillery formation is under the command of the truth, Wang Tu begs you to step back!"

The old man came in person, what can Wang Hou say?Full of depression, he retreated to the side holding the fist monster. He looked respectful and watched Cao Cao pull out his sword, wave it like a chicken, and point at the Yuan Jun camp in front of him, baring his teeth and growling.

"Smash the truth! Smash! Smash! Smash Yuan Benchu ​​to death, reward ten thousand gold, and make him a Marquis!!!"

Not to mention that Prime Minister Cao’s command seemed to be really useful. With a click, the thrown river ice slammed hard on the right side of the central snow mountain. After a swipe, the snow mountain actually collapsed. , The large snow blocks buried them all like a real avalanche!
