Chapter 1112: The Battle of Tongguan VIII
Cao Cao stepped on the blood, step by step on the military village, the battlefield has fallen silent, only a piece of bewitching blood is left everywhere, and the corpses are broken......
"Lord!"
Cao Chun walked up from behind and saluted: "The Bingzhou army has withdrawn twenty miles away, and the tiger and leopard cavalry have suffered a lot of casualties, so they dare not pursue easily!" ”
"Let them go!"
Cao Cao waved his hand and said indifferently: "A Lu Fengxian is insignificant!" ”
He glanced at Tongguan looming in the distance, and then asked Cao Chun, "Zihe, what are the casualties of the tiger and leopard rider?" ”
This is the most elite cavalry under his command, the first battle on the battlefield, the fight is still the most elite wolf cavalry in Bingzhou, even Cao Cao does not have much confidence in his heart.
"Twelve hundred wounds!"
"So much?" Cao Cao's face suddenly became gloomy: "What about the results?" ”
Cao Chun gritted his teeth and didn't dare to answer.
"Say!"
Cao Cao snorted.
"Eight hundred enemies!" Cao Chun lowered his arrogant head and said in a low voice.
"Eight hundred for one thousand two!"
Cao Cao sighed, but he didn't look disappointed.
How so?
The cavalry of the Central Plains was originally inferior to the cavalry of the frontier, and the wolf cavalry of the state was the elite soldiers and horses who fought with the nomadic cavalry on the battlefield, while the cavalry of the Central Plains, in terms of horsemanship, in the cavalry formation, only had theory, and did not have more experience in actual combat.
Moreover, although the tiger and leopard cavalry he formed cost him countless grains, this was still the first battle.
He was already very happy to have such a result.
"Not bad!"
Cao Cao spit out two words, looked at Cao Chun, and said: "Zihe, you fought very well in this battle, but in the future, a certain family hopes that you can have better results, and let a certain family know that my Central Plains cavalry will not lose to their frontier cavalry!" “
"No!"
Cao Chun replied heavily: "I will never lose to any cavalry in the future!" ”
"Lord!"
Guo Jia walked up, dressed in a robe, and stepped over the corpses one by one, not affected by the tragic battlefield at all, his face was as calm as ever, and said: "Lu Bu has withdrawn from our attack range, he has gone around the south road and wants to go to Huashan, and he will definitely not be able to reinforce the main force of Xiliang!" ”
"Then don't wait!"
Cao Cao ordered and said, "Tell Ju Yi and Sun Jian that the main force of Xiliang will be encircled and suppressed with all their strength immediately!" ”
"Yes!"
The generals commanded.
………………………………
Inside Tongguan, there is some quiet.
This quietness is not really quiet, but the oppressive silence that preceded the Great War.
"Lu Bu withdrew?"
Standing on the city wall, Dong Zhuo held the hilt of the sword, his eyes were like a tiger, he glanced into the distance, and asked lightly.
"Already withdrawn?"
"Is that road hidden?"
"It shouldn't be that no one has found out, and if we hadn't built Tongguan, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to know that road!" Li Ru thought for a while: "I'm a little worried now!" ”
"Worried about what?"
"Will he Lu Bu come back?" Li Ru said softly.
"Yes!"
Dong Zhuo thought about it, took a deep breath, and said, "I believe in him!" ”
"Then I hope he can be worthy of the lord's trust!" Li Ru sighed.
"I'm going out of town tonight!"
Dong Zhuo said.
"No!"
Li Ru nodded and said, "Tongguan's defense is still too weak, or ......."
"In the remaining 10,000 passes, give it to the Son of Heaven!"
"Son of Heaven!"
"Yes!" Dong Zhuo said: "It's for the Son of Heaven, Guanzhong people, he should dare to use it, as long as he dares to use it!" ”
"What if he's going to open the door?"
Li Ru said gloomily: "This possibility is not impossible, the Son of Heaven has great hopes for the Kanto heroes, and he still expects these people to be able to serve the king and get him out of the hands of the lord!" ”
"If he chooses this, then don't blame a certain ruthless and ruthless, just serve it in a pot!"
Dong Zhuo said coldly: "There is no son of heaven in the world!" ”
Li Ru's eyes lit up, but they soon dimmed......
At this time, it is by no means the time to become emperor.
The Son of Heaven still can't be killed.
"Don't worry, the lord will defend Tongguan City, as long as I can hold it, the lord must not move, we only have one chance, whether we can defeat them, it depends on whether the lord can calm down!"
Li Ru arched his hand and said.
"Don't worry!"
Dong Zhuo said lightly: "I know the severity, this battle is related to the future of my Xiliang, I Xiliang, I must not be defeated!" ”
……
Knock knock knock!!!!
Under the city of Tongguan, the sound of drums sounded one after another, and the sound waves overlapped and were deafening, as if they wanted to envelop the heavens and the earth in the sound of war drums.
The sound of war drums ignited the fire in the hearts of the soldiers.
"How can there be such a majestic pass?"
Cao Cao was a little surprised.
This aspect is a pass that was pulled up overnight, this pass did not exist before, but it is undeniable that this pass is surrounded by mountains, the landscape is picturesque, but it is extremely dangerous.
"Is Dong Zhuo blessed by the gods to be able to build a Xiongguan here!"
Sun Jian also gritted his teeth.
In the past, there was no pass here, the East Gate of the Guandong Gate was the Tiger Prison Pass, and then it was a Hangu Pass, which was the pass of the pre-Qin period, and the morale of the Qin and Han dynasties, the pass of the pass was still the Tiger Prison Pass.
But from Luoyang to Chang'an, there is no pass.
This sudden pass surprised them.
"At such a pass, if you want to attack, I'm afraid it's difficult!"
Ju Yi's heart was a little gloomy.
He is weak, he will definitely be regarded as a pioneer, such a majestic pass, how many people have to fill it in, can he take it.
"Attack!"
Cao Cao is now riding a tiger is difficult, this battle, must be fought, he can't wave his troops under the city, but he returns gloomily, this will affect morale, will make the coalition army heart collapse.
So at this time, you can only fight.
"Order Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, and the four departments to attack!"
Cao Cao didn't think as Ju Yi thought, regarded the Yuan army of Jizhou as the vanguard, and let the main force under his command attack first.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The 40,000 main force of Cao's army pressed up at once.
This is to take it, give it first.
Cao Cao knows very well that if he wants them to listen to him in this battle, he must first lower his posture, only in this way can he make them trust and contribute, instead of intrigue.
On the city wall, Li Ru pointed to the city and said lightly: "General Li Yu, General Guo Yan, you must defend here, only by guarding here, can we have a future in Xiliang!" ”
"Yes!"
Li Yu and Guo Yan surrendered their orders.
"Archers, shoot them!"
"Smash the rocks!"
"Roll the log and smash it down!"
The two soldiers and horses began to fight desperately.
The Xiliang army invested a full 30,000 troops, but in the face of a defensive position, it was still overwhelmed by the Cao army......
Among the Xiliang army, there are many young people in Guanzhong, which can indeed strengthen the strength of Xiliang, but relatively speaking, the combat effectiveness will also be weakened, logically speaking, 30,000 soldiers and horses are on the defensive, with the advantage of Tongguan, 100,000 main forces can not enter.
But in less than five hours, a line of defense was torn open by the main force of Cao's army, and it almost attacked.
This forced the Xiliang army to increase its troops.
…………
Seki Castle Interior.
Pedal Pedal !!!
The sound of footsteps came in one by one, which made Liu Xie a little uneasy.
"Wang Situ, how is the front line?"
Liu Xie couldn't help but asked Wang Yun.
Wang Yun naturally let his eyes stare ahead, staring at the battle, he arched his hand and said: "The Xiliang army is a little too fragrant to hold on, and now it is increasing troops in the city!" ”
"The Kwantung princes, are you so strong?"
Liu Xie squinted slightly: "This is the first day of the offensive!" ”
"I don't know the specifics!"
Wang Yun shook his head: "But Your Majesty, don't underestimate Dong Thief's strength on the battlefield, this fang may not be a talent for governing the country, he is indeed a member of the fierce general, on the battlefield, his fierceness is rarely matched by people in the world!" ”
"Shall we ...... then?"
There was a blood-colored light flashing in Liu Xie's eyes.
"No!"
Wang Yun glanced at the Quartet, and said to Liu Xie in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you can only be a winner if you can endure it, you remember, whether it is the princes of the world or the Dong thief, they are all enemies of the court, if you can't let them fight, how can you make the world come to heart!" ”
"Although this is a good statement, it always feels a little inappropriate!"
Liu Xie said in a low voice: "Wang Situ, we don't have troops, how can we clean up the mess!" ”
"There will be troops!"
Wang Yun said confidently.
"Report!" There was a noise outside.
"Who?" Wang Yun asked on behalf of the Son of Heaven.
"Report to Lord Situ, Jia Xu, the master of the Taishi Mansion, asks to see you!"
"Let him in!"
Wang Yun naturally knew that Jia Xu was the one in charge of staring at Liu Xie, as long as he was not ready to turn his face directly with Dong Zhuo, he could only provide for this Jia Xu.
"Jia Xu greets Your Majesty!"
Jia Xu walked in, saluted respectfully, and then said: "Your Majesty, in order to ensure the safety of Your Majesty, Master Taishi dispatched 10,000 elite soldiers to defend Your Majesty's safety!" ”
"Now that the Taishi is fighting for the imperial court and working hard, how can he let him worry about me!"
Liu Xie's eyes lit slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, and he said calmly: "I have my own Imperial Forest Army and Jinwuti Cavalry Guards by my side, which is enough!" ”
"Now the thief army is ferocious, repeatedly breaking the city, the court king, although trying his best to resist, but there are too many thief troops, we have very few sons, the city wall is a little precarious, Your Majesty is safe, but the court is safe, you must not be guarded!"
Jia Xu said: "And these 10,000 soldiers and horses are recruited from Guanzhong young and strong, all of them are warriors, and they will be able to ensure the safety of His Majesty!" ”
"Guanzhong is young?"
Liu Xie's pupils changed slightly, which surprised him a little.
Wang Yun's expression also moved slightly.
If it is Xiliang soldiers and horses, then it is to monitor them, and even take them on the road at a critical time, which is not good for them.
But Guanzhong is young and strong......
That's completely different, using Guan Zhong Erlang to guard them, it's a meat bun beating a dog, and there is no return.
"Your Majesty, on the battlefield, there are many dangers, the Taishi fights for the imperial court, and he will not regret it until he dies, but His Majesty shoulders the future of the imperial court, and there must be no mistakes, and please Your Majesty must accept the kindness of the Taishi for the sake of the world and the imperial court!"
Jia Xu said.
"The Taishi has such a heart, I am ashamed, Wang Situ, although I do not spare my own life, I can't live up to the will of the Taishi, since this is the case, then let Sima Fang accept it!" Liu Xie thought for a while and said.
Although he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Dong Zhuo's gourd, he thought that as long as he was a soldier in Guanzhong, he could expand his power in the army.
Over the years, he has deeply understood a truth.
In this troubled world, no one can believe it, including Wang Yun, Wang Yun doesn't have his own mind, there must be, he may not respect himself, and even if there is a third choice, Wang Yun may not push himself to my throne.
Only in charge of the army is the most practical thing.
"No!"
Wang Yun took the order and walked out.
"Your Majesty has every opportunity, and the minister will retire first!" Jia Xu also bowed and wanted to leave.
"Master Jia, stay!"
Liu Xie suddenly opened his mouth and kept Jia Xu.
"I wonder if Your Majesty has any other orders?" Jia Xu asked.
"It's not a command!"
Liu Xie said with a smile: "It's just that I want to know, how some battles are going on on the front line, the Taishi poured the king's division, and fought for the imperial court, I am very worried about the safety of the Taishi, in the past, the Taishi greeted him every day, but now there is no trace of the Taishi, whether the Taishi is injured, if this is the case, I should go and visit it in person!" ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Taishi is brave, how can he be injured by the rebels, but today's battle is tense, the main force of the rebels is attacking, and the intention is in Your Majesty, Taishi can only fight bloodily, and he lacks skills!"
Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said, "When the Taishi repels the enemy army, you should personally ask Your Majesty for your guilt!" ”
"Now that I have the peace of the master, I am also at ease!"
Liu Xie smiled, and then said: "I can't do civil and martial arts, and it is difficult to go to the battlefield, and the affairs of the battlefield will be shouldered to the Taishi, and I hope that the Taishi will cherish his own body, and I also hope that I can get the assistance of the Taishi in the future and share the country!" ”
"Your Majesty's care, the minister does not change a word, inherited from the Taishi!"
Jia Xu said respectfully.
When Jia Xu left, Liu Xie's complexion changed suddenly, becoming a little heavy, he shook off the four treasures of the study on the desk, then stood up, walked to the door, looked into the distance, he really had an impulse, wanted to watch the battle in person.
Because he always felt that something was wrong.
But I can't figure out what it is.
Don't look at him in the pass, but he was isolated by Dong Zhuo, he didn't know much about the things in the pass, and it was difficult to find out a little bit of news about the Xiliang Army.
About half an hour, Wang Yun returned.
He reported and said: "Your Majesty, they are really all Guanzhong children, as long as it takes a little time, they will definitely be used for us!" ”
"Wang Situ, we are only a few thousand soldiers, so we don't let Xiliang be afraid in the pass, but Dong thief sent us 10,000 soldiers and horses, what do you mean?" Liu Xie couldn't figure it out.
"The minister can't figure it out!"
Wang Yun smiled bitterly: "Maybe ......"
He was a little suspicious, but the soldiers of Guanzhong and the soldiers of Xiliang were too easy to separate, and the young men recruited from Guanzhong had a lot of vitality, and they were caught in the elite soldiers of Xiliang, so they could only be forced to go to the battlefield, but if they were handed over to them, they would easily be bought.
What Dong Zhuo's idea was, he really couldn't figure it out.
"Maybe what?"
"Maybe Dong Thief has a plot that we can't think of, and his plot needs a premise!"
"What a premise!"
"We have the power to protect ourselves!"
"What does that mean?"
"Dong Thief's side, Li Wenyou and Jia Wenhe, are all treacherous, and the old man is really hard to guess their thoughts!" Wang Yun shook his head, unable to answer Liu Xie's question.
Liu Xie took a deep breath and calmed down for a long time before he took a deep breath: "Since this is the case, then don't think about it, what the plan of the Dong thief is, sooner or later we will know, but we have soldiers in our hands, but it is or, you let Sima Fang Ma Ricicada and them take care of the soldiers in this pass, and use our foundation to build our lives!" ”
