Chapter 166 Cao Junsheng in the first round

Under the tactical arrangement in advance, Xun Yu repeatedly told Dian Wei: The siege battle must be extremely fierce on the first day. As long as it survives the fierce battle on the first day, it will be easier in the next few days... The battle to defend the city is to persist until Cao Cao leads the army to return, and the Cao army defending the city can abandon the city and rush to Xuchang City. Xun Yu repeatedly told Dian Wei not to let the soldiers defending the city too much into the battle and minimize casualties, as long as the enemy is stopped at the root of the city wall!

Even with such a tactical deployment, as the master of the defense of the city, Dian Wei does not feel relaxed. Xiahou Shang, Cao Chun, Cao Zhen and others, who are the "eight tiger riders" of Cao, are urging their generals and soldiers in their respective defense areas and are always ready to meet the enemy. In the sight of the defenders, the enemy soldiers who attacked the city were divided into three ways: Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led 6,000 generals and other 10,000 volunteers and clan soldiers, and rushed to the city wall in a wild shout; Zhang Liao, a fierce general under Lv Bu's command, Wei Xu, Song Xian and other generals led 20,000 volunteers and clan soldiers, rushing to the city wall with a mountain-like momentum; The attack all the way in the middle was personally suppressed by Wenhou Lv Bu.

The other two roads began to attack, and Lv Bu led nearly 10,000 iron cavalry to slowly pass through the suspension bridge. Lv Bu, who was at the forefront of the cavalry, held a square halberd and looked at Dian Wei on the gate with an indifferent expression. The eyes of the two people collided with each other in an instant, and an invisible and surging will of war surged in their hearts...

In the killing sound of the magnificent mountains and rivers, the other leading charging force of the second road has quickly approached 300 meters from the root of the city wall. In the face of the enemy with teeth and claws, the Cao army defending the city responded very calmly. Their calmness showed good training literacy and actual combat ability. After all, these soldiers and soldiers experienced the large-scale battle in Chang'an City at the beginning. That kind of magnificent battle has greatly improved the training and growth of the soldiers and soldiers. The soldiers who participated in the war The nutrition obtained in it is enough for them to digest for a lifetime.

Specifically, with the support of excellent psychological quality, when actually facing the enemy, the soldiers who control the long-range attack equipment can play 80% of their proficiency in controlling the bed crossbow and the invincible Thunderbolt car. When they enter the state, they can definitely play up to ten times. In this way, the proficiency of training is transformed into actual combat effectiveness, which is just like the sports competition in later generations. Most athletes get results in the competition far lower than the results of normal training, and only some athletes have super-level performance. In a word, training is one thing, and the actual battle is another thing, although it is the same person! In the cold weapon era of the Three Kingdoms, even super fierce generals are subject to this limitation. There are many factors that affect the actual combat effectiveness: for example, in the case of fear, in the case of injury, at home and away...

When the enemy attacking the city attacked 100 meters away from the root of the city wall, Cao's army, who defended the city, began to use long-range attack weapons to block the enemy's attack: nearly a thousand archers attacked the enemy 100 meters away from the root of the city wall with the help of the cover of arrows; hundreds of bed crossbows covered the enemy 300 to 400 meters away from the root of the city wall. The stones thrown by hundreds of invincible Thunderbolt vehicles are mainly responsible for "taking care" of the enemy between 400 and 800.

Tens of thousands of arrows are fired, and the scene is extremely spectacular. "Buzz" is the sound of arrows breaking through the air; "Wow" is the sound of hundreds of stones. The stones sliding in the air and the arrows rushing through the air form two layers of huge brocade, covering the sky and the sun, casting a shadow on the position, covering the enemy camp like a tide.

In the face of the tens of thousands of arrows of Cao's army, the general combat effectiveness of the righteous soldiers and clan soldiers, even wear the armor of the officers and hold shoulder-length shields in their hands (their weapons and equipment are unconditionally provided by Yuan Shu. It is for this reason that Liu Bei agreed to attack Cao with Lv Bu's allied forces. Of course, Liu Bei also wanted to shame his hatred of seizing the city!), not to mention protecting their companions behind them, they couldn't even protect themselves. At first, these shield soldiers could still hold their shields to protect themselves and their companions behind them, but the force generated by the arrows on the shield made their arms painful. Coupled with the "buzzing" and "woo" sounds in their ears, and the suddenly darkening environment, they had been scared and were about to turn around and run away. . They, who participated in the war for the first time, were not killed by arrows, and were also scared to death by the earth-shaking battle scene.

In this way, the original neat and tight shield camp soon appeared cracks, and the original volunteers and clan soldiers fell under the arrows. Even the attacking army had archers to fight back, but they were all aimless random shots. What can really threaten the life of the defending Cao army is the middle-level fierce generals and super fierce generals. Like Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei shot the Cao army defending the city in an area more than 200 meters away from the city wall. Of course, they also imagined that when attacking Chang'an City, they would gallop horizontally and shoot the enemy troops defending the city, but because the scene they faced was extremely chaotic, they could only stay in place and shoot the enemy soldiers.

The arrows shot by Cao's army defending the city basically succeeded in blocking the pace of the enemy's attack. At the same time, the powerful and domineering invincible Thunderbolt car was a devastating blow to the enemy. Under the precise control of Cao Bing, the 40-pounds of stones accurately concentrated the enemy's soldiers and achieved "no bullets". A burst of ghost crying and wolf howling rose from the back of the offensive formation and resounded throughout the battlefield.

The attacking team led by Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, Song Xian and other generals also suffered such a ruthless and tragic blow. They can't stop an effective attack at all. Lv Bu's child's uncle, Wei Xu, stabbed more than a dozen retreating clan soldiers one after another with a gun, but failed to suppress the escape of other clan soldiers and volunteers. There was no other reason. The counterattack of Cao's army defending the city was too domineering and powerful, which was beyond human resistance at all!

Wei Xu opened his triangular eyes angrily, looked at the uncontrollable team, waved the fine iron gun and scolded angrily at the same time, "This group of losers, usually bully people with great vigor. Now that they are really in actual combat, they have become pus..."

When Zhang Liao heard Wei Xu's angry scolding, he shook his head helplessly.

The attacking army began to collapse under the huge rain of arrows and overwhelming stone clouds. The skillful operation of Cao Jun guarding the city keeps the shooting and throwing of the crossbow and the invincible Thunderbolt car maintain a continuous and accurate strike. Cao's army's combat effectiveness made the rabble's enemy unbearable at all. Their only result was defeat and escape.

When the fleeing soldiers saw that Lv Bu, who was responsible for the middle attack, did not move, they found an excuse to comfort their escape. And the generals who had been attacking with bows and arrows in the front position also retreated helplessly. They can't resist the dense attack of arrows, let alone shoot Cao's army defending the city with bows and arrows. They can only drink hatred and retreat.

In the first round of confrontation, Cao's army won a considerable victory at the cost of very few casualties and forced the enemy to retreat. They began to cheer on the wall. Victory, especially on the battlefield, is indeed physically and mentally pleasing. This kind of pleasure is extremely valuable and is exchanged for life.

Of course, Liu Bei, who returned to the safe area, also saw Lv Bu, who had been immobile. He turned his head and looked at Lv Bu with a puzzled face. Zhang Fei, who was beside him, was already scolding: "Song son of a bitch, Lv Bu, why don't you launch an attack? Is there water in his head, or is he ulterior..."

When Liu Bei heard the words, he quickly comforted Zhang Fei and said, "Third brother, don't say too much!" I'll go and ask about it!" As Liu Bei spoke, he rode his horse to the direction of the suspension bridge. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were afraid that Liu Bei would make a mistake, so they followed him.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to Lv Bu, and Lv Bu took the initiative to say to them, "Uncle Liu, this is the end of today's siege!"

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard the words. Guan Yu blew his beard angrily. His face was originally jujube red, and he was flushed with anger. Zhang Fei couldn't hold his anger and directly retorted to Lv Bu, "Wenhou, why haven't you launched an attack for a long time? If you launch an attack at the same time, it will also have the effect of involving the enemy's forces..."

"Oh, General Zhang, can't I use your siege to spy on military information?" Lv Bu slanted at Zhang Fei and said disapprovingly.

"You..." Zhang Fei clenched the eight snake spears in his hands and looked at Lv Bu with fire in his eyes. Use thousands of living lives to spy on military affairs? What a cruel thing this is.

"Third brother!" Liu Bei vigorously persuaded Zhang Fei, who was angry. Then, he bowed his hand to Lv Bu and led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei back to the headquarters.

Finally, under the unified command of Lv Bu, the attacking three-way army retreated to the camp. In addition to Lv Bu all the way, the other two-way troops are like bereaved dogs. Lv Bu's behavior is that even his confidant Wei Xu and Song Xian couldn't understand.

Such a situation of attacking the army made the Cao army defending the city very surprised and felt incredible. This standard is a typical example of not working hard. In fact, if the attacking three-way army really wants to attack at the same time, it is really enough for the Cao army to defend the city. The previous first round of attack was because Lv Bu did not launch an attack all the way, so that Cao's army had extra troops to support the other two defense points.

In the next few days, Lv Bu did not launch a siege. He began to rectify military discipline in the barracks: anyone who escaped from the siege and was certified by the leading lieutenant at that time was in front of tens of thousands of soldiers, killing these deserters either Ling Chi or five horses. Lv Bu's move was indeed strict with military discipline and inspiring people's hearts.

Later, Liu Bei suggested that Lv Bu launch a siege as soon as possible, while Lv Bu prevaricated and said, "First, bluff for a few days to consume the physical energy and mind of the enemy defending the city, and then at the critical moment, we launched a thunder attack and attacked the city overnight..."

Lv Bu's remarks are in line with reality and have some truth. Liu Bei can only obey. In fact, as a hot-blooded and fierce super fierce general, Lv Bu has no intention of plotting war. This is the idea of Chen Gong, his chief advisor.

Chen Gong is Cao Cao's lifesaver, and the relationship between the two is also deep. Later, Chen Gong couldn't stand Cao Cao's behavior, so he left Cao Cao and went to Lv Bu. This time, under the manipulation of Yuan Shu, Lv Bu, Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu joined forces to deal with Cao Cao. In this situation, Chen Gong secretly colluded with the staff around Cao Cao. After all, Chen Gong used to be a popular person and a good assistant around Cao Cao, so Chen Gong still has a certain network around Cao Cao. In this way, it is easy for him to hook up with the staff around Cao Cao.
