Cao Cao is a fierce man. He is the greatest military strategist and politician in the Three Kingdoms era. It is a pity that he was born in the Three Kingdoms and lived with a group of perverts in the same era. If he had been born a hundred years later, there would have been no chaos in Chinese history.
He is really powerful, quite powerful.
Lin Ze just arrived in Hebei. He immediately led his troops to Xuzhou without stopping. After observing the city defense of Xuzhou, he found that Xuzhou was really monolithic now. He placed Zhao Yun in Xiaopei. The two armies were like horns to each other, covering each other to capture Xuzhou. It’s as difficult as climbing to heaven.
Cao Cao immediately thought of attacking Beihai.
There were two great advisers, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, under the tent. Xun Yu said: "My lord, the city of Xuzhou has been destroyed, and Beihai is within our grasp. We can pretend to attack Beihai, lure Liu Bei out of the city for reinforcements, and take advantage of the situation to capture Xuzhou."
Cao Cao said: "What a plan!"
Cheng Yu said: "My lord, we can divide 50,000 troops to attack Beihai, and 150,000 troops can guard Xuzhou City, waiting for Liu Bei to make a move."
Cao Cao frowned and said, "Zhongde, can 50,000 men capture Beihai? General Huang Zhong is as brave as Yun Chang and Yide!"
Cheng Yu said: "The epidemic has just passed throughout Shandong, and there are refugees everywhere. We can drive the refugees to attack the city. With only 100,000 refugees, Beihai will be broken!"
Whenever Cheng Yu suggested a plan, Cao Cao would feel chills running down his spine. He was a master who didn't treat people as human beings at all, but this plan was feasible.
Cheng Yu saw the certainty of victory on Cao Cao's face and said: "My lord, you must not think that everything is infallible. Lin Ze is the world's military god. If he dares to put Huang Zhong in Beihai, there must be arrangements. We must first think about our retreat. If we cannot capture Beihai, How to handle yourself."
Cao Cao sneered a few times and said: "Guo Jia is really capable. He pulled Nanyang, Ruyang, and Huainan into a triangular camp and occupied the entire Yuzhou. Unless Lin Ze died, I could not conquer his territory even if I fought south for five years. Son, if Beihai cannot be taken, we can only go to the north to meet Yuan Benchu, and Bingzhou is also a good place."
Cao Cao really had a plan, and immediately ordered his soldiers to collect the refugees and go to Beihai, telling them that Beihai had food, drink, and countless gold, silver, and beauties.
Cao Cao collected nearly 200,000 refugees and made their way to Beihai.
Guo Jia is now closer to Cao Cao. Whenever Cao Cao takes action, he will know immediately. Why does Cao Cao stand still under Xuzhou City? He had only one way to go, and that was Beihai. He immediately sent a message to Huang Zhong Feiying that Cao Cao might attack Beihai, so he had to ensure that the city had enough food and grass and prepare for defense.
The most leisurely army in Yuzhou now is Xu Ziwu's 8,000 Yicon troops. Guo Jia told Xu Ziwu not to rush to rescue Beihai. With Cao Cao's plan, he would definitely be on guard and go directly to Yanzhou to plunder. Fortunately, we found Cao Cao's food camp, so we didn't have to rush back and found a way to bring Lin Ze back.
Xu Ziwu had never fought alone. He had always followed Lin Ze and listened to Huo Qubing's stories every day. Now he could finally do something about Huo Qubing.
Guo Jia is now under great pressure. Not only must he be wary of Cao Cao's attack on Shouchun at any time, but he must also plan for Jiangdong. Sun Ce is too fierce and has overwhelming power in Jiangdong. Almost no one dares to fight him. The military orders are strict and the people are attached to him. Now there are With fifty or sixty thousand troops, Liu Yao could not be allowed to control Yangzhou under such circumstances. After all, Liu Yao was a relative of the emperor. Guo Jia sought Liu Jin'er's opinion.
Liu Jin'er only let him act expediently with the Lord's orders. Now that there are civil servants and military generals in Yuzhou, she, a generation of women, will no longer be involved in political affairs.
Liu Jin'er no longer cares about political affairs. Now she has no worries about food and drink. Her mind is now focused on Lin Ze's weird inventions. Today she burns paper and pieces of glass, and tomorrow she mixes cement. She has a lot of fun.
Guo Jia immediately ordered two regiments, Xu Mao and Shi Liuliu, to control Yangzhou and arranged Liu Yao to Qu'a.
Then he paid close attention to all Sun Ce's movements.
At this moment, Cao Cao had arrived at the foot of Beihai City, observed the terrain, and said: "The king's rule is declining, people have different intentions, and heroes emerge in large numbers. This General Huang Zhong is a loyal man, how can he be so devoted to Lin Ze?"
Beside him, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu were both observing the terrain. They both found that Huang Zhong had raised the city defense and added many defensive fortresses beside the city wall. It was more difficult to feign an attack. With such terrain, it only took a few thousand One person can stop the attack of hundreds of thousands of people.
Cao Cao said: "Fortunately, I listened to Zhongde's advice, otherwise I would be too exhausted to capture the North Sea."
Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "Why do I think Beihai is more murderous than Xuzhou? I'm a little scared. Or we should go and attack Xuzhou."
Cheng Yu bowed and said: "My Lord, no, the Jiaolong Regiment is stationed in Yangzhou, and there is also a Tiger Regiment that never shows off its appearance. If they attack Xuzhou, the 30,000 Chinese troops led by Huang Zhong, the Jiaolong Regiment and the Tiger Regiment will probably both be defeated." Come to our rescue, we will be defeated!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed and said: "Okay, okay, Lin Ze is really powerful. The Wolf Fang Group is invincible, the Dragon Group is indestructible, and there is also a Tiger Group that has some reputation in the world. It's hateful. It's really What a shame, attack Beihai!"
To force the refugees to attack the city, they naturally have to use ladders to climb the city, take bricks, dig holes and other tactics, because there is no other way.
Cao Cao said: "Let the army put away the flag and let the world know that I, Cao Cao, have never come to Beihai. I am just a group of refugees. I have a good relationship with Lin Ze. How can I attack Beihai? Right?"
Cao Cao was still restless and asked, "Is there any news about Lin Ze in Hebei?"
Cheng Yu said: "The spy said that he had snatched Zhen Mi out and then disappeared into the mountains. I only know that the killer we sent has been following closely. We don't know the details."
"It's hateful, it's hateful. Dian Wei's loyalty is also hateful. In order to save his sworn brother, he even gave up on me as his lord and went to Hebei to die alone!"
Cao Cao then laughed again and said: "But I also like loyal people. If Dian Wei doesn't care about the lives of his sworn brothers, I will despise him. Xun Yu, write some letters urging surrender and shoot them on the city wall. Tell them to surrender quickly, otherwise, the day the city is broken will be the day the city is massacred!"
Huang Zhong stood at the top of the city with a big sword, looking at the dust flying outside the city gate, blocking out the sky and the sun, and people gathering like ants, he said: "My lord's plan is indeed correct. There will be a war in Beihai. Cao Cao is really a traitor. If he is my lord, he is determined to We will not allow the refugees to attack the city, so I sent an order to the three armies to use ballistae to suppress them for a while, and tell them how powerful my 30,000-strong army is!"
The ballistae has already arrived at the city, and the iron bow strings roar "bang bang", which sounds particularly exciting. The three-meter-long crossbow arrows are shot from a high position, piercing the armor, piercing the person's body, and directly nailing the person to the ground. Some of the crossbow arrows accidentally hit the rocks, causing sparks to shoot out. The crossbow arrows bounced into the sky, spinning several times in the air. Wherever the crossbow tip touched, flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Cao Cao's catapult also started running, and the flaming stones flew hard towards the city wall in the air. When the flaming stones fell to the ground, they discovered that this was not a stone at all, but a jar of kerosene. It was a huge fire, and many warriors who couldn't dodge suddenly turned into burning people.
With the cover of the catapult, the refugees quickly rushed to the city. They started digging in the ground, knocking down doors, and climbing ladders like crazy.
Even if there were rolling logs and thunder stones falling from the top of the city, they would not hesitate at all. The boiled dung water was poured down, making them scream and scream. No wonder there was a plague. People who were scalded by dung water would be infected. Who knew it would breed? No matter what virus comes out, if such corpses are not buried, it will be a big trouble.
The refugees did not retreat at all. There was no way to retreat. As long as they dared to look back, they would be shot, let alone run away.
Huang Zhong saw the madness of the refugees. It was only a matter of time before they attacked like this and destroyed the city. If they dug the city wall, they would not be able to bear it. Sooner or later, the city wall would collapse. Huang Zhong remembered that his lord had told him that when the situation was critical, he could ask for logistics. Chief Promotion Officer Xu Liang, this situation can be considered critical, right? It cannot be considered critical if more than half of the 30,000 Chinese troops were killed or wounded.
Just as he was about to get off the city wall, Xu Liang had already led a group of logistics troops to the city. Xu Liang came to Huang Zhong and said: "General Huang, my lord has given instructions. When the situation is critical, these sharp weapons must be handed over to you. Please take over."
More than thirty wooden boxes were placed in front of Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong opened them without thinking. He was so happy that he almost burst into tears. They were thirty boxes of marijuana seeds. The lord used this thing to explode them. The city walls and gates of Shouchun were used by General Xu Mao to destroy the catapults of the Yellow Turban Army when Shouchun was besieged.
Huang Zhong said: "My lord is truly a man of God. With it, I won't be afraid of another 200,000 powerful soldiers. Come on, help these hemp thunderbolts on the ballista, and let me aim at Cao Cao's catapult!" "
Hemp Leizi lit the fire on the ballista and shot the catapult with black smoke. After a huge roar, the catapult was blown into a pile of sawdust, and it was also drained and put aside with kerosene.
The huge movement caused Cao Cao to fall off his horse. He watched his catapults being blown up one by one and shouted: "What is that?"
Cheng Yu said: "My lord, this is Lin Ze's Five Thunder Technique. Huang Zhong has it. Beihai is absolutely impossible to attack. Withdraw, withdraw!"
Cao Cao saw this kind of explosive for the first time. Seeing it with his own eyes was more shocking than hearing about it. His hands were shaking, but he quickly calmed down and said: "Some people in the world have spread that this is not a witchcraft. It’s a special kind of burning thing. What exactly is the formula? You must get it. You must get it. Do you understand!”
Under Beihai City, there are already mountains of corpses, and it is no less tragic than when the Allied Forces of the Jujube Alliance broke through Hulao Pass. Such is the case in the siege battle. The side with the advantageous location can make the attacking side pay more flesh and blood, but they may not be able to break through. city.
Soon, the refugees discovered that something was wrong. Why did they lose more and more energy as they fought? When they looked back, they found that Cao Cao, the beast, had left without saying anything. Who could he reason with?
After Cao Cao left, the morale of the refugees quickly collapsed, and the trees fell and the hozens scattered.
Huang Zhong shouted: "After attacking the city, you want to leave? How can anything in the world be so cheap? Brothers shoot at the city wall. Those who surrender and don't run will live, and those who run away will die!"
A brutal siege lasted only one day. It was originally a inevitable defeat, but who let Lin Ze cheat? The golden ratio of black powder is at least 1,500 years more advanced than it is now.
Cao Cao saw the horror of this thing with his own eyes and made up his mind to know the formula, and there are already experts in this country who have figured out the formula. The world is destined to enter the era of hot weapons early because of Lin Ze's arrival...
