Chapter 164 Cao Cao's Real Strength

... Because Guo Jia saw Lv Bu and Liu Bei hiding the contradictions that broke out at any time through the fog on the surface, even if Cao Cao's side faced the dangerous situation of chasing soldiers after the enemy, Cao Cao and Guo Jia still easily discussed how to face the problem of chasing soldiers behind. In Guo Jia's targeted plan, Cao Cao formulated a way to scare off the pursuers...

Let's talk about Zhang Xiuyi in Wancheng. The poisoner Jia Xu encouraged Zhang Xiu to take advantage of the victory to pursue the main force of the Cao army who retreated. Zhang Xiu also obeyed the command and divided his troops to pursue. Jia Xu walked forward slowly under the protection of the four bodyguards. On the way, he kept thinking: with the help of the army fighting, he fought with Guo Jiashi once! The confrontation between super advisers is invisible and untouchable. This kind of confrontation is not like the real knife, real gun and short soldiers between super fierce generals, such a splash of sparks; but this invisible confrontation is more intense and advanced, more tense and touching. If there is a slight mistake in a certain link on one side, it will definitely be defeated...

Jia Xu is constantly thinking: Since Lv Bu, who has always been loose, can know the secret military situation of Nongzhou, the talented Cao Cao should be able to understand the trend of close contact between Lv Bu and Liu Bei in a secret way. Knowing that fighting on the second line is a taboo for soldiers, why did Cao Cao send troops to attack Wancheng?

Jia Xu also knows some basic military conditions: Lv Bu and Liu Bei's main force has 20,000, and there are 50,000 volunteers with certain combat effectiveness. Even if Cao Cao's 10,000 Qingzhou iron gunmen left in Gonzhou can resist the siege of the enemy's 50,000 soldiers, they can block the innate realm of Lv Bu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Is Zhan Shuai brave? On the side of Cao's army, the super fierce general who went with the army will be Daxia Marquis (at this time, the outside world does not know the existence of the monster Xu Chu), and another super fierce general Cao Renyuan is in Bohai County, Qingzhou. In this way, it is inferred that the general of Cao Jun who stayed in Gunzhou is just an ordinary fierce general. Although the city wall can imprison the combat effectiveness of super fierce generals, super fierce generals such as Lv Bu, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu join hands to attack the city. How many soldiers does the Cao army need to lose to defend the city?

Cao Cao can definitely think of such a fierce battle to defend the city. Then why did Cao Cao violate the taboo of the soldiers and was determined to send troops to attack Wancheng? If Cao Cao really wants to wait for the enemy to weaken in the confrontation, then Cao Cao's side must consider all the details... If Cao Cao pays attention to his existence, how will he deal with Zhang Xiu's army? With Guo Jia's ingenuity, he can definitely think that I have controlled Zhang Xiu, and he will definitely think that I will encourage Zhang Xiu to take advantage of the victory to pursue... In this way, how will Cao Cao deal with Zhang Xiu's perseverance?

The more Jia Xu thought about it, the more panicked he was. He knew that Cao Cao must have a good strategy to deal with Zhang Xiu's reluctance, and there was more than one way. When Jia Xu thought of this, he urged the horse to whip and gallop forward. Half an hour later, Jia Xu actually caught up with Zhang Xiu's army. Jia Xu has seen at least two stone piles and three ditches ten meters wide and four meters deep along the way. These obstacles are the reason why Zhang Xiu's army is slow to chase the enemy, so Jia Xu can catch up with Zhang Xiu's army in half an hour.

Zhang Xiu saw Jia Xu appear beside him, as if to see the sun, and his depressed mood improved. He held the reins in one hand and said to Jia Xu, "Uncle Jia, Cao thief is so vicious that he uses such a dirty means to deal with me..."

"Ha ha, Xiuer, Cao Cao said a sentence: Soldier, tricks are also... Xiuer, there are no so-called smart and promiscuous methods and tricks in the battlefield, only whether they are suitable and effective!" Jia Xu smiled and comforted Zhang Xiu and said, "Xiuer, you should remember that a person's greatest enemy is himself, and a person's best teacher is the enemy!" Xiuer, you should be good at learning from the enemy..."

"Hmm..." Zhang Xiu nodded with a slight understanding. If this sentence was put in the past, Zhang Xiu would definitely turn a deaf ear. Now, through the proof of actual combat, Zhang Xiu has been convinced of Jia Xu. In this way, every word of Jia Xu is a good word for him.

"Xiu'er, after careful consideration, I think it's better for us to give up the combat intention of chasing Cao's army!" Jia Xu looked at the direction of Cao's retreat and said indifferently.

"Uncle Jia, why..." As a general, Zhang Xiu still knows a common sense: marching and fighting is the most taboo to change day and night. In this way, the actual effect will eliminate the enthusiasm of the generals.

"Ha ha, Xiuer, if you go a hundred miles further, it will be the boundary of Ganzhou..." Jia Xu twisted his beard, narrowed his eyes and said to Zhang Xiu with a smile, "Xiu'er, Ganzhou is Cao Cao's one mu and three cents land, so for us, it's an away battle! After the second confrontation, I felt that Guo Jia, the chief counselor under Cao Cao's command, was not under me. In this way, I couldn't figure out Guo Jia's thoughts for a while... But I deeply felt that if we continue to chase Cao's army, we would suffer a dangerous disaster!"

"Oh, that's it..." Zhang Xiu said and bit his lower lip. Seeing the duck in his hand, he was about to fly. Zhang Xiu was a little reluctant.

Jia Xu could understand Zhang Xiu's mood at this time. He opened his eyes and whispered to Zhang Xiu, "Xia, in the face of the changes in the military situation, we first inform the other pursuers to temporarily stop the pursuit and return to Wancheng the original way. If Xiuer doesn't believe me, you can command the army to travel a hundred miles. At that time, I guess you You can see how Cao Jun responded to our pursuit... Xiuer, remember that Cao Cao is definitely not an ordinary fierce role, not a person who has gained a false reputation. At that time, you should control your emotions and wait for the opportunity to retreat. Don't fight with Cao Jun!"

"Well, I ordered from Uncle Jia!" Zhang Xiu looked grateful and said to Jia Xu. If you do half of a thing and are about to succeed, you have to give up. No one can afford it. Zhang Xiu felt the same way, and so did Jia Xu. The slight difference is that Jia Xu wants to see what strange means Cao Jun has to deal with the fierce pursuers.

After Zhang Xiu led the army to travel a hundred miles, in an empty area, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu finally saw Cao's army waiting to meet the enemy. Zhang Xiu's army is 800 meters away from Cao's army. The leading general of Cao's army is the invincible general Daxiahou. There is a gap of 5 meters in front of Daxiahou 300 meters in front of the single-handed Daxiahou. Behind him is a neatly arranged shield battalion, and behind the shield battalion is the bow and arrow battalion. As opponents, Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu can understand the use of such a platooning and digging gap: they are all iron cavalry who are good at charging and falling into battle. However, there are nearly a hundred super-sized stone throwers arranged behind the bow and arrow battalion. Jia Xu can't understand this kind of formation deployment: Can the siege equipment be used on the battlefield of the second army? This is really unheard of. Jia Xu couldn't understand it, and Zhang Xiu couldn't understand it any more.

This super-large stone thrower is placed in a total of four rows on the second side of the empty official road, 20 in each row, and each stone thrower is only one meter apart. Daxiahou looked at the enemy 800 meters away and resolutely raised the red triangle flag indicating the attack.

In the face of Daxiahou's behavior, Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu felt strange. Common sense told them that the farthest killing distance of the siege weapon throwing machine was only 800 meters. At this time, Zhang Xiu's army had no sign of attack, and Daxiahou launched an attack. Was he too nervous? Or is it brain-damaged?

But next, when Baiju stone throwers throw large stones one after another according to the time difference, hundreds of stones form brocade-like stone clouds and hit Zhang Xiu's army. When Shi Yun crossed a wonderful arc in mid-air, it easily leaps over the top of Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu's head and directly hits the middle of Zhang Xiu's army. In the face of the roaring stones, the generals with intermediate martial arts can wave weapons to blow them away, and the primary martial arts are unlucky. They can't accurately block the stones with weapons. Their eyesight and speed can't reach, so the stones hit their heavy and thick armor. The stone can't break the armor of the iron cavalry, but the impact can cause serious internal injury: the stone hits the helmet, and the strong shock immediately makes people feel dizzy. Lightly, the eyes of Venus are dizzy, and in severe cases, they are directly unconscious. The horse hit by the stone, even if protected by armor, is still painful, jumps or turns in place...

Due to the long-distance attack of Cao Jun's stone-throwing machine, Zhang Xiu's originally neat team immediately became chaotic. The attack distance of Cao Jun's stone thrower exceeded Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu's estimate, and the proficiency of Cao Jun's control of the stone thrower also surprised Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu, because the stones attacked from them have a sense of hierarchy. From a distance of 1,200 meters to the front of the team, it is an all-round seamless attack.

Zhang Xiu waved hundreds of birds towards the phoenix gun and easily hit the stone to protect himself and Jia Xu, while shouting loudly and ordering his generals to retreat quickly. Hearing Zhang Xiu's order, the iron cavalry in danger dared to retreat.

When Zhang Xiu protected Jia Xu and retreated to a safe distance, hundreds of iron cavalry failed to retreat safely. Even their people and horses were submerged by the densely dense stones. The tragic howling and the horse's hiss penetrated through the roar of the stone, and the excitement echoed in everyone's ears.

Zhang Xiu had the intention to save those companions, but Cao Jun continued to throw stones, so that Zhang Xiu could only watch hundreds of soldiers being killed by rain-like stones... Zhang Xiu's heart was cut like a knife. Before he fought close to the enemy, he lost hundreds of soldiers for no reason. Zhang Xiu could not stand this fight. Hit. His eyes were angry, his eyes were congested, he looked fiercely at the calm Daxia Marquis a kilometer away, and howled sadly!

Jia Xu's expression at this time is also sour, sweet, bitter and spicy. He finally saw how Cao Cao dealt with the chasing enemy. He was almost stunned by the domineering and powerful new stone-throwing machine. For Jia Xu, he has never felt this feeling of panic since he was a child. Even if the knife is on his neck, Jia Xu has never been frightened! But at this time today, Jia Xu was frightened after experiencing the power of Cao Jun's invincible Thunderbolt car.

Jia Xu looked blankly at the Xiliang Iron Cavalry buried by half-human high stones. He bit the tip of his tongue to control the fear all over the inside and outside of his body. This was the only way to consciously think about how to deal with the crisis in front of him. His first reaction was: Tell Zhang Xiu to withdraw quickly...

"Xiu'er, quickly order the withdrawal!" Jia Xu said in a slightly trembling voice. Zhang Xiu resisted the anger and pain in his heart and gave the order to retreat to the soldiers behind him.

When Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu waited for the last time to leave, Daxia Hou opposite opened his throat and greeted them, "Good, this is the beginning. Why did you leave? General Zhang, come back, go on, I will be very uncomfortable..."
