Chapter 753: Counterattack

In the city of Keiguan, the sound of cheers kept echoing.

The eyes of the defenders, who were already a little desperate, finally shone with hope again.

Even Cao Jun, who was outside the city, felt an extraordinary momentum, but Cao Cao's heart sank when he saw this.

"Knock knock!"

The sound of the passionate war drums sounded, and Gao Shun led the army to march into the war-torn Keiguan with neat steps.

This time, Gao Shun not only brought a thousand trapped camps, but also a thousand elites in the pass, and three thousand newly recruited elites.

The people who served as grass-roots officers were all cadets in the Taixue Military Branch.

It was precisely in order to gather these 5,000 men and horses that Gao Shun delayed for so long to arrive at Keiguan after quelling the Pusaka rebellion.

At this time, there were only more than 1,000 defenders left in Jiguan, and the Cao army suffered nearly 10,000 casualties.

"Kill!"

Gao Shun, who had just entered the city, did not pause at all after hearing the shouts of killing, so he led reinforcements to climb the city wall and broke out a life-and-death battle with Cao's army.

The courage of the trapped camp, even in the Guanzhong army, which is known for its elite, stands out from the crowd.

Whether it is their momentum of victory or their impeccable defense, it is a nightmare for the enemy.

The sudden reinforcements killed Cao's army to the point of abandoning their armor.

The trapping camp is like a meat grinder, killing all the Cao troops who were lucky enough to climb the city wall.

The flags were flying, the war drums were rumbling, and the defenders of the city once again burst into a powerful momentum.

As for Hao Zhao, now his heart was relieved, and he suddenly felt a little spinning, and he almost couldn't support it and fell to the ground.

The pressure he has been under during this time is absolutely unparalleled.

The arrival of Gao Shun undoubtedly put the burden on his shoulders, and from now on, Hao Zhao can also have a good rest.

Although Chen Xu values Hao Zhao very much, whether it is prestige in the army or compared to talent, the current Hao Zhao cannot be compared with Gao Shun.

Even if he is as unruly as Lu Bu, he doesn't dare to act recklessly after seeing Gao Shun.

It was not that Lu Bu was afraid of Gao Shun's martial arts, but that he felt a trace of fear for the world-famous trapped camp.

Lu Bu once secretly deduced that even if he fell into the encirclement of the trapped camp, it would be difficult for him to survive.

Hao Zhao is self-aware, so he never thought of competing with Gao Shun for the position of coach.

Hao Zhao's future achievements may not be under Gao Shun, but now he is still young after all, and he lacks the momentum necessary for a general.

Different from the excitement of Guanzhong, the morale of the Cao army, who stormed Keiguan for a month but was blocked by death, was already very low.

The only belief that sustained their battle was to conquer Keiguan.

However, the arrival of reinforcements from Guanzhong caused Cao Jun's belief to collapse, and many people didn't even think that they were still capable of capturing Keiguan.

When the will falls, life ceases to stand; The crooked and slanted figure, how can it endure the bleak autumn leaves, and the wind is in a hurry at night.

The above poems are the best portrayal of Cao Jun's current state.

Cao Jun's will has been exhausted, and his belief in victory has collapsed. They staggered and charged like walking corpses, but they could not shake the defenses of the trapped camp.

"Woooooo

Not only Sergeant Cao, but even Cao Cao felt a little desperate.

With 3,000 soldiers and horses, Hao Zhao was able to hold Keiguan for a month, and caused Cao's army to suffer extremely heavy casualties.

Now there are 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city of Jiguan, and there is a trap camp led by the famous general Gao Shun, and it is really difficult for the Cao army to conquer Jiguan at this time.

Feeling that the army's heart had begun to waver, Cao Cao gave the order to retreat without hesitation.

At this time, Gao Shun had already roughly understood from Hao Zhao and the deputy general that this extremely tragic offensive and defensive battle had been going on for a month.

In fact, there is no need for two people to describe it, when Gao Shun saw the two dilapidated city walls in front of him, covered with a layer of dark red plasma, he had already sketched a rough picture in his mind.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Gao Shun, who has always been not good at words, couldn't help but sigh at this time and said solemnly to the two.

"Cao Cao Mingjin has withdrawn his troops."

Gao Shun heard the sound of 'woo', and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

He looked at the two dilapidated city walls in front of him and said: "Although this city wall is strong, it is not as good as the real city wall of Keiguan after all. ”

Hao Zhao was shocked when he heard this, and said: "If you want to recapture those two city walls, you must go out of the city to fight with the Cao army, the enemy is outnumbered, and the general is asked to think twice before acting." ”

The adjutant general shouted: "If the general wants to recapture the city wall, he is willing to be the vanguard!" ”

Gao Shun first nodded to the deputy general, and then explained to Hao Zhao: "Although they have to go out of the city to fight with the Cao army, because the gap opened by the Cao army is not large, they can't give full play to the advantage of their forces. ”

"With the courage of the trapped camp, as long as I can occupy the geographical advantage, even if the Cao army has millions of people, I am not afraid."

"If these two walls can be recaptured, the Cao army's achievements in the onslaught of January will be in vain, and the morale of the Cao army will be devastated."

"In this way, the danger of Keiguan will be solved."

Gao Shun's vision was far more long-term than Hao Zhao's, Hao Zhao only saw the difficulty of recapturing the two city walls, but did not think of the huge strategic significance contained in them.

Imagine what would happen if the two city walls that Cao Jun had taken a month to capture with heavy casualties would have been lost?

Hao Zhao thought about it for a while and understood Gao Shun's intentions.

But he still persuaded: "The general has come from a long journey, and the soldiers must be exhausted by this time. ”

"Even if the general wants to retake the city wall, he doesn't need to rush it. After the soldiers had rested, it was not too late for the general to lead the army to recapture the city walls. ”

Gao Shun shook his head and said, "Because of those newly recruited soldiers, our marching speed has been slowed down a lot. ”

"A march of this intensity will not damage the combat strength of the trapped camp at all."

"What's more, now is the time when Cao's army withdraws its troops, and is shocked by the arrival of reinforcements from Keiguan, and morale is extremely low."

"No one would have imagined that we would go out of the city to counterattack now, so that we could take the two walls by surprise."

"If you wait for Cao Mengde to pacify the Cao army and send heavy troops to garrison these two city walls, it may not be easy to attack the city again."

Many people think that Gao Shun is a military training wizard, but everyone ignores that he also has a strategic vision that is incomparable to ordinary people.

Gao Shun's words were reasonable, Hao Zhao didn't say anything more, but volunteered: "I know every position of these two sections of the city wall very well. ”

"Where there are weaknesses and where they are easy to overcome, they are all in my heart. If the general wants to recapture these two walls, he will be the vanguard! ”

Gao Shun glanced at Hao Zhao, who was seriously overdrawn, and said, "You can follow me in this battle, and you don't need to go to the battlefield to fight in person." ”

Now he should have let the exhausted Hao Zhao go to rest, but Hao Zhao's words were also very reasonable, and no one knew the two city walls better than him.

If Hao Zhao helps, the difficulty of Gao Shun regaining the city wall will definitely be reduced a lot.

The deputy general of Keiguan also asked for orders again: "A certain wish to be a pioneer, please also ask the general to fulfill!" ”

Since Alin was tortured and killed, the adjutant general's heart was full of anger, and he hated to lead his troops out of the city in person.

But at the beginning, Keiguan was stormy, and as a deputy general, he must not act willfully, but now that Gao Shun has led the troops, he can no longer hide the hatred in his heart.

Although Gao Shun didn't know what was going on, he could also see the monstrous anger in the eyes of the deputy general.

Seeing that this person was not like Hao Zhao, who had already run out of oil and dried up, Gao Shun nodded after pondering for a long time.

At this time, the Cao army camp was almost set up outside the city of Keiguan.

Xun You followed Cao Cao's side and slowly retreated behind, but on the two city walls, there were still Cao troops stationed.

The atmosphere was a little solemn, and even Cao Cao, who had always been extremely optimistic, began to worry about whether he could capture Jiguan this time.

Suddenly, Xun You said to Cao Cao: "Lord, on top of the two broken city walls, heavy troops should be sent to guard them. ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Does Gongda think that Gao Shun will go out of the city to recapture these two city walls?" ”

Xun You nodded solemnly and said, "Very likely." ”

Cao Cao was originally an extremely intelligent person, and he didn't need Xun You to explain too much at all, he could figure out the key inside.

The reason why he did not station heavy troops there before was because Cao Cao believed that Hao Zhao would never dare to go out of the city to recapture the two city walls.

The ruined city wall already had a lot of Cao troops stationed on it.

Moreover, when the Cao army captured these two city walls, the city gates had been demolished, leaving a road for the Cao army to enter and exit freely.

Even if Hao Zhao was able to occupy the two outer city walls under the surprise attack, he might not be able to defend them.

At that time, as long as Cao Cao led a large army to attack, he could not only quickly reoccupy the city wall, but also be able to eliminate the defenders of Jiguan who had left the city.

Yes, Cao Cao even hoped that Hao Zhao would be able to leave the city.

However, the arrival of Gao Shun made the situation a little confusing, and Cao Cao did not dare to bet that Gao Shun would be able to defend these two city walls.

If Gao Shun is really allowed to recapture it, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent Xiahoudun to garrison the city wall.

"Kill!"

However, at this moment, there was a shocking shout of killing from the direction of Jiguan, and Cao Cao's face immediately changed when he heard this.

He didn't expect that Gao Shun would be so resolute, and he didn't rest for a moment after a long-distance attack, and immediately launched a battle to seize the wall.

In the city of Jiguan, Gao Shun led the soldiers of the trapping camp, lined up in small attack formations, and quickly captured the second city wall.

Cao Jun, who never thought that the Guanzhong soldiers would counterattack, was caught off guard by surprise, and many people were trapped in the camp and killed before they could react.

After capturing the second city wall, Gao Shun did not stop at all, and led the trapping camp to the outermost city wall, which was also the original city wall of Keiguan.

At this time, because of the second city wall as a buffer, the Cao army on the outer city wall also formed a defensive formation.

But in the face of the invincible trapping camp, the Cao army, which was not led by a general, was completely like a collapsed dog, and it was simply vulnerable.

It was only at this time that Hao Zhao felt the horror of the trapped camp at close range.

A battle as fast as thunder ended very quickly, and the Cao army on the two city walls was wiped out by the trapped camp.

Gao Shun, who occupied the two city walls, did not show joy on his face, but was extremely dignified.

He knew that the real test had just begun.

It was reasonable to capture the two ruined city walls that lacked the defense of the army, but the large number of Cao troops that would arrive later was the real threat.

"Bodao mobilized the newly recruited elites, and the tired divisions of the city to repair the walls and prepare to build the gates."

"I led the trapping camp to resist Cao Cao's army outside the city, and the remaining soldiers stood on the city wall to prevent Cao's army from attacking other places."

Although the trapped camp is brave, after all, there are too few troops, and if you want to hold the gap in the city gate, you can still do it reluctantly.

However, if there were not enough defenders on the city wall, Cao's army could completely bypass the trap camp and capture the narrow section of the city wall.

Gao Shun's response was to lead the trapping camp to resist Cao's army head-on, and send the rest of the soldiers to occupy a favorable position on the city wall for defense.

Hao Zhao suddenly made an emergency, and then hurriedly gathered craftsmen and soldiers to start repairing the city wall.

After the deputy general experienced a period of fighting, the hatred in his heart has not completely stopped, although he wants to fight the enemy at the door with Gao Shun, but he also knows what he should do now.

Subsequently, he could only reluctantly lead the rest of the soldiers and began to set up defenses on the first ruined wall.

Before the city defenders had yet to fully reach the city walls, Cao Cao had recently led a large army to kill them.

He looked at the two city walls, which were quickly captured by the trapped camp, and was extremely shocked.

At the ruined city gate, there are many people.

Many craftsmen hurriedly repaired the broken city gates, but outside the city were a thousand traps, forming a final defensive formation, waiting for the battle.

Seeing that the Guanzhong army actually dared to line up outside the city, Xiahoudun immediately asked for orders: "Lord, let me lead the troops to break through the enemy formation." ”

Cao Cao didn't speak, just nodded.

Xiahoudun was overjoyed when he saw this, and led his troops to five thousand kills and ran away, slamming straight into the formation composed of large iron shields.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

However, as soon as Cao Jun rushed to the trapping camp, many sharp spears suddenly stabbed out of it.

Caught off guard, many Cao Jun, who rushed to the front, were pierced on the spot.

Even if Xiahoudun was brave and brave, he almost died on the spot.

The sudden attack of the trapped camp was silent, and the soldiers did not roar loudly or murderously, but only cold thrusts.

The spears that were pierced out were frozen, and there were many slightly shorter spears that went in and out, constantly depriving Cao Jun of his life like a god of death.

Unlike the silence of the trapped camp, those Cao Jun, who were pierced through their bodies, let out a terrible scream.
