Chapter 685 The Last Battle
The arrival of the third army in Jiyin means that the war is about to start.
Cao Cao sat in the tent of the Chinese army and glanced at every senior general and counselor in the wide tent. Tens of thousands of thoughts surged in his chest. There were 300,000 soldiers in his hand. Cao Cao's confidence was stimulated in an instant. No matter how strong the enemy was, what could he do? There were only thousands of people in his hands when he rose up. There are only a few generals, and it is not the current situation. As long as the attack of the Xiliang Army is defeated, Cao Cao has enough confidence to become the largest prince in the world in one fell swoop, and it is not impossible to unify the world.
"The 400,000 troops of Liangguo have all gathered in Jiyin. This is the critical moment of the decisive battle. No general can relax their vigilance. In the Liangguo army, there are lone wolves and assassinations, which are specially responsible for the assassination of enemy generals and counselors. This cannot be ignored. After the generals go back, they should strengthen their surroundings. The guard force can't give Liang Guo a chance. Cao Cao shouted, "The victory or defeat is in this move. I hope that all the generals, after going back, will boost the morale of the generals and soldiers of the army and strive to eradicate the strength of Liang in World War I."
"Wansheng Wan Wan Wan." The generals and counselors in the tent shouted in unison. Many generals blushed, and their eyes looking at Cao Cao were also full of confidence. Although for so many years, Cao's army has not won in the battle of Liang, they still have enough confidence in their hearts. They have followed Cao Cao for many years and repeatedly witnessed that Cao's army stand up from difficult times to Cao Cao. They are almost fanatical.
"Let Mr. Xi talk about the situation between the enemy and us." Cao Cao turned his eyes to the drama talent.
Xi Zhicai coughed a few times, and his pale face showed a trace of blush. "The Liang Kingdom is powerful, and our army is not weak. The Liang Kingdom has 400,000 troops, and we also have 300,000, and our soldiers are the elite of a hundred battles..." He said only a few hundred words about the advantages of the Xiliang Army and the advantages of the Cao Army. In private, he did a lot of work, especially the senior generals and famous counselors in the Liangguo Army.
After the generals left with complacency, Xi Zhicai waited for a counselor to be left in the account.
"The main counselors of Liang Guo are headed by Jia Xu. Guo Jia and Xu Shu are all great talents. It is said that Tian Feng and Ju Shu are also among them this time, and their military appearance is strong." Cao Cao said slowly that he was not blindly optimistic about Cao's situation. Liang Guo seemed to have recruited hundreds of thousands of troops within three years. No one dared to doubt the ability of Liang Guo to train soldiers.
All the counselors began to bow their heads and think deeply. Everyone in the account is the best in the army. They have experienced a lot of wars, rich experience and thousands of strategies, but the Xiliang Army is also not weak. Especially after the implementation of scientific research in Liangguo, it has recruited a large number of talents for the Xiliang Army, military and local talents. It's like a bamboo shoot after a rain.
On the seventh day when the army gathered in Jiyin, Cao Cao received a letter from Liangguo.
In the center of tens of thousands of people's battlefield, there is a table with several exquisite dishes and a bottle of spirits.
Cao Cao took two generals of Xu Zhudianwei, and Jia Rong was also accompanied by Zhao Yun and Lv Bu.
"Meng De, after many years of separation, cheers to our original friendship."
Two people raise their glasses at the same time.
After drinking, Jia Rong smiled and said, "At the beginning of Luoyang, I was just an unknown person. I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, the whole world was in the hands of you and me."
"Ha ha, Zhiyuan, now you are a high-ranking emperor, and you are still an unknown person." Cao Cao did not forget to attack Jia Rong at all. At the beginning, both of them were ministers of the Great Han Dynasty. Under the rule of Cao Jun, the flag of the Great Han Dynasty still floated, while Jia Rong abandoned loyalty and righteousness, established the Liang Kingdom, and became emperor.
"Why did Meng De say this? With Meng De's strength, if he wants to become an emperor, it's just a matter of one sentence. Today, you and I get together just to talk about the original feelings, not to talk about anything else."
Nearly two hours later, Jia Rong got up and said, "Meng De, friendship is friendship, and the battlefield is the battlefield. I won't have any mercy."
"I'm the same." Cao Cao replied.
The next day, Jia Rong directly sent 50,000 soldiers and horses to invite Cao's army to fight.
The camps on both sides are large-scale, with hundreds of thousands of people, stretching hundreds of miles and vast. Even so, the soldiers living in them are still a little crowded.
In the center of the two sides, there are dozens of miles of open space to ensure that the large-scale war can start.
At the beginning of the battle, Cao Cao would naturally not be afraid. He directly sent Le Jin to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to fight. The two sides were in full swing. In the first battle, both sides were just tentative attacks. The Thunderbolt car did not even use weapons with great lethality such as the crossbow car.
After years of combat grinding and the stimulation of Liangguo's troops, the strength of Cao's infantry has reached its peak. In the end, Ma Chao led 3,000 cavalry to determine the victory of this war.
In this battle, Cao Cao realized his own disadvantage, that is, the cavalry. Although Cao Cao was very confident that he wanted to turn his cavalry into an elite and compete with the cavalry of Liang, there were many restrictions, and the cavalry was always a shortcoming.
"Holy, and this spring's rain is coming. Be careful to prevent Cao's army from using water attack. It's possible for Onozawa, Heze and Lei Ze." Jia Xu said.
Jia Rong nodded slightly. This kind of large-scale military engagement, any factor, may become a factor of defeat.
"This matter will be handled by Jia Shangshu." Jia Rongdao.
"In today's World War I, the combat effectiveness of Cao's troops is indeed strong. It is the strong enemy of our army. It can't be ignored. The information on the battlefield must be controlled at any time, and we can't give Cao's army any chance." Jia Rongdao.
After a short rest, the two sides started the battle again. This time, Liang Guo threw himself into the siege car, the Thunderbolt car and the crossbow car. The cooperation of the three weapons was very skilled. After a slight transformation of the craftsman's workshop, it became a sharp weapon on the battlefield. The rear was forceful by a horse. Around the car, it was dense. The densely arranged sharp steel rushed into the camp, bringing bursts of bloody wind and rain.
Rushing the road, the ingenious cooperation between the crossbow car and the Thunderbolt car made Liangguo win a small victory again.
For half a month in a row, the two sides have been fighting each other, and the total number of dead and wounded soldiers has also reached 50,000.
On April 13 of the sixth year of Kaiyuan, this day will definitely go down in history. Jia Rong, the emperor of the Liang Dynasty, gathered all the soldiers and horses in his hand and fought to the death with Cao army. After testing, the strength of both sides had some understanding.
In this battle, the sky and the earth are dark, and the sun and the moon are not light. The explosives of the Xiliang Army are extremely powerful. Cao Jun's fire oil should not be underestimated, and the two sides will use all kinds of means.
The battle lasted for a day and a night before it came to an end. The blood flowed into a river, and the bodies of soldiers from both sides could be seen everywhere on the battlefield.
In this battle related to the situation in the world, Cao's army suffered a great defeat, with 300,000 troops, and only more than 30,000 people came back.
The Xiliang Army also paid a great price, sacrificing the generals and soldiers, reaching a total of 150,000 people, and countless people were injured. Generally speaking, the biggest profite was Liangguo.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Liang Guo took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the cities were constantly conquered along the way. 300,000 troops were already all the strength of Cao's army. The defense in various places was already very fragile. Without spending much strength, Yanzhou was pocketed.
After comforting the wounded soldiers, Jia Rong appeared in the central army with a low face. The price paid for this victory was really too great, especially the final confrontation between the cavalry of the two sides. A famous soldier defended the honor belonging to his own army with his life. In this battle, human life seemed so great. It's worthless. No matter how capable you are, in the face of the battle of hundreds of thousands of people, when you are finally exhausted, it is only the generals of the battalion generals. Liangguo has lost hundreds of people, and the regimental generals have lost more than 30 people and 80,000 cavalry, half of them, which does not include the injured.
After this battle, if you want to restore the current military prosperity, it will take at least five years of rest.
However, Liang Guo did not want to end this battle and lost nearly 300,000 troops. At this time, Cao's army was undoubtedly the weakest.
Within a month of Qingzhou, the disintegration was announced, and the resistance of the Xiliang army was also very strong. Under the death order issued above, the siege generals used the most harsh means and used explosives to blow up the gate.
At this time, Cao Cao only had the land of Xuzhou.
After patrolling the army, Cao Cao has just gone to Jiyin with great ambition. He was defeated like a mountain, and 300,000 troops lived up to everything, which means that more than ten years of hard work have been extinguished with this battle.
Xi Zhi just died. When he fought against the army of Liangguo, he was already terminally ill.
Cao's army was defeated, and Liang Guo captured the land of Qingzhou, Yanzhou. The world was shaken, and Luyang was completely boiling. For a long time, the headline of the newspaper has been about Liang Guo's war.
After the news of Dasheng was sent back to Liangguo, the sales of newspapers on that day reached one million copies, and many businessmen promoted many activities to celebrate this day of universal celebration.
Pengcheng, Xuzhou, became Cao Cao's last destination. After the Liangguo army besieged Pengcheng for a month, Cao Cao chose to commit suicide with three feet of white cloth to summarize his fate.
In November of the sixth year of Kaiyuan, Jia Rong, the emperor of the Liang Dynasty, commanded 400,000 soldiers and horses to recover Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places. Cao Cao committed suicide and died. Jia Rong ordered the funeral of a prince.
As soon as his opponent for many years died, Jia Rong did not feel any joy. Instead, there was a faint sadness lingering in his heart. For many years, how much blood was stained in his hands. Not long after he came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he went to the battlefield. Today, the huge foundation of Liangguo is actually countless blood and The corpses are piled up together.
This moment of enlightenment made Jia Rong cherish his current achievements, perhaps in order to prevent the people from falling into the war again. After experiencing so much, he also understood the difficulties and difficulties of the people's lives. Although many policies of Liangguo are practical for the good of the people, they are born Living at the bottom is still the people, farmers, industry and commerce, and the status of farmers is in the second place, but in fact, they are not as good as merchants.
