Yuan Jun rushed over quickly.
They thrust their spears forward, but the first batch of spears were blocked by Cao Jun's shields and could not cause much damage.
When Yuan Jun's gunners retreated, Cao Jun's gunners also raised their guns.
"prick!"
Cao Hong shouted loudly.
Cao Jun's soldiers thrust their spears at Yuan Jun.
Yuan Jun also raised his shields to resist, but those shields made a "pop" sound and were penetrated by Cao Jun's spear.
The barrel of Cao Jun's gun is still wood, but the tip has long been replaced by sharp steel, which is not only sharp, but also very hard. Not to mention the shield, even if Gao Lan wears thick armor and a layer of heart protection, Can also be easily pierced.
"kill!"
Cao Hong shouted again.
The spears that penetrated the shields continued to poke out under the impact of the soldiers.
The soldiers of Yuan's army behind the shield were stabbed to death on the spot, completely unable to stop Cao's army's attack.
Cao Jun's spearmen retracted their guns and stabbed out again. At the same time, the soldiers holding Huanshou Dao followed the spearmen and continued to attack Yuan Jun.
He cut melons and vegetables just like he did, killing Yuan Shao's soldiers until they were defeated.
Yuan Shao was far away from the battlefield and couldn't see the specific details on the battlefield, but when he saw Gao Lan and Zhang Nan being chased and chopped down by Cao Cao's men, his face darkened.
"Waste, everything is waste."
"Mingjin!"
"Take it back first!"
Yuan Shao said angrily.
Seeing that Cao Cao's more than 5,000 people could chase and kill his own 10,000 people, this gap was a bit big and he couldn't accept it for a while, but he was not an impulsive person.
Seeing that he couldn't defeat him, he thought there might be something wrong with Cao's army.
We have to retreat back and discuss how to fight next and how to deal with the greatly increased strength of Cao's army.
clang……
Ming Jin's voice echoed on the battlefield.
When the soldiers on Yuan Shao's side heard Jin Jin, they knew they could retreat, so they scrambled to retreat, not daring to fight Cao Jun again.
Zhang He fended off Zhang Liao's attack and retreated with his troops.
Yuan Shao and the others quickly retreated north, leaving countless corpses and blood flowing on the battlefield, all of which showed how cruel the battle just now was.
"Ha ha……"
Seeing this scene, Cao Cao laughed loudly and said, "Are you afraid that Yuan Shao will be beaten by me so quickly?"
When Yuan Shao was retreating, he almost spit out a mouthful of blood when he heard these words. He resisted the urge to fight back and continued to retreat with his troops.
Seeing that Yuan Shao did not dare to respond, Cao Cao laughed louder and watched Yuan Jun retreat away.
Return to camp.
Yuan Shao immediately came to Gao Shun and asked what happened.
Gao Shun and Zhang Nan fully explained the sharp and hard weapons of Cao Cao's army. It was not that they did not want to fight, nor that they wanted to be defeated. It was just that the weapons were not strong enough to defeat Cao Cao's weapons.
"According to what General Gao said, Cao Cao must have obtained a brand-new smelting technology that can make sharper and harder weapons. Perhaps this is the source of his confidence in daring to fight us."
Shen Pei said first.
Everyone else nodded and agreed with this statement.
It is believed that Cao Cao was so confident because of this weapon.
But those weapons were indeed very sharp and could rub their weapons against the ground.
Yuan Tan, who was accompanying the army to the battle, worried: "Father, what should we do?"
Shen Pei said at this time: "Cao's army has such sharp weapons. It is not very feasible for us to fight Cao's army head-on. Our advantages are that we have more food and grass, more financial resources, and more soldiers. These are all Cao Cao's disadvantages."
"We have two ways to deal with such sharp weapons."
"The first is to use long-range weapons to defeat the enemy."
"The second is to consume Cao Cao completely."
Shen Pei said.
Yuan Shao asked: "How is it specific? Tell me in detail."
Shen Pei said: "My lord can lead a large army to guard Guandu and suppress Cao Cao. At the same time, he can build a mountain of earth in front of Cao Cao's army camp. With the earth mountain standing high, he can monitor Cao Cao's camp. Then he can attack Cao Cao's army with bows and arrows, and have a stalemate with Cao Cao's army, which can also consume Cao's army. If Cao Cao cannot bear the food and abandons his camp and flees, we can go south, capture Guandu, and then attack Xudu."
In this way, Xu can be broken.
After hearing the matchmaking plan, Yuan Shao thought about it for a long time, and finally said: "Arrange it!"
As a result, Yuan Shao's army immediately selected strong soldiers, picked up shovels and other tools, and built the earth mountain according to the plan.
Cao Cao responded to Yuan Shao's challenge and returned with a great victory.
This time it was a head-on battle, and he easily defeated Yuan Shao, which made Cao Cao's heart almost wander.
In the past, he had been living in the shadow of the big brother Yuan Shao.
Now, on the other hand, Yuan Shao will soon be able to live in his shadow, which is exciting just thinking about it.
"Watazhi's weapons are so powerful!"
Cao Hong laughed and said: "The more we use it, the easier it becomes, haha... Today, although Yuan Shao's soldiers were large in number, we were forced to fight, and in the end we had to order a retreat. I don't know how embarrassing it was, haha..."
The more he talked, the more excited he became and the heartier his laughter became.
After returning from defeating Yuan Shu, Chen Zhou began to prepare for the Battle of Guandu.
The more fully prepared they are, the more beneficial the effect of the fight will be to them, and their efforts will finally be in vain.
However, Xiahou Dun was not very excited and said angrily: "Xiahou Chong, Xiahou Mao, after we go back, let's see how I continue to whip you."
It turns out that the weapons are also a credit.
Those new weapons were used on the battlefield to kill Yuan Shao's abandoned armored soldiers, which was an even greater achievement.
But the credit he had gained was lost to the two traitors. Not only was he very angry, but Xia Houyuan was also furious. If Cao Ren and the others hadn't held him back, the two of them would have gone back to Xudu to beat their sons.
"It's just a little credit, isn't it?"
Cao Hong laughed.
Xiahou Dun: "..."
He felt that Cao Hong was connoting himself.
"OK OK!"
Cao Cao told them to stop making trouble and said: "Du Zhi keeps bringing us surprises. Aren't you all used to it? You still make a fuss."
After a pause, and seeing that they had stopped making trouble, Cao Cao continued: "But in today's battle, we can also see that Yuan Shao's army is indeed strong and has a profound foundation!"
Liu Ye asked: "The plan proposed before Duzhi was to burn grain. How can we judge where to put Yuan Shao's grain?"
Chen Zhou thought for a while and said, "Actually, I can probably tell where Yuan Shao's food is, but if I tell you now, you may not believe it. I just want to wait for an opportunity to make you believe it."
"what chance?"
Cao Cao asked.
"There will be a rebellion on Yuan Shao's side soon. This person must know where Yuan Shao's food is kept. We can just wait for him to come."
Chen Zhou's words made them feel impossible again.
Yuan Shao had the advantage, with many soldiers and generals. The first few battles were a bit stretched, but the overall strength was still the strongest. How could Yuan Shao's people rebel?
