Chapter 364: Hell on Earth
"Long live the king!"
"Ten thousand years of kings!"
"Ten thousand years of Great Wei, ten thousand years of kings!"
Just like the French army of Napoleon in later generations, for the Wei army, Cao Cao, who led them to successive victories, was not only the king of Wei to whom they were loyal, but also a kind of faith, a kind of spirit, and the fanaticism of the mountain's cry, even Cao Cao himself was a little stunned.
Cao Cao understands that his prestige in the army will definitely not be too low, after all, he has been to the battlefield so many times, if his prestige in the army is still very low, then he will not talk about anything to dominate the world, just go home and wash and sleep.
But to understand clearly, Cao Cao really didn't think that he would reach such a high level of Cheng dΓΉ, that kind of fanaticism, just like the so-called fanatics of religion in later novels.
The shouting of the Wei soldiers' soldiers is actually very understandable, not only Cao Cao was originally the object of their allegiance, it is a kind of belief of theirs, but also because of the environment in Tongguan at this time, when the plague, the god of death, loomed over the head of the Wei army, Cao Cao's appearance was no less than breaking the vision of the shadow of the god of death.
The cheers inside Tongguan were clearly heard by Ma Teng and the others outside Tongguan, and after carefully listening to the cheers of the Wei soldiers in Tongguan, the faces of Ma Teng and the others changed, and a clear fear and jealousy appeared on their faces, and Li Ru who was present was even more hateful, resentful, fearful, and jealous on his face.
Since Cao Cao raised troops in Chenliu, dozens of battles of all sizes have hardly been defeated, and the princes who fell under Cao Cao's sword can be said to abound, whether they are weak such as Tao Qian and others in Xuzhou, or strong as Yuan Shao, who ruled the four northern states, all of them are Cao Cao's defeated generals.
Not to mention the Xianbei that flourished for a while, the three Wuhuan who often invaded the north, under the army led by Cao Cao himself, were defeated, surrendered to surrender, surrendered to surrender, and the establishment of the northern protectorate at that time, although it made a prince jealous, it was also terrifying for them.
Cao Cao was in the hearts of the princes of the world at this time, compared to the King of Wei, who ruled the huge Central Plains and the northern region, he was more like an invincible god of war, the god of war, in the face of such an enemy, how could Ma Teng and others not be afraid of fear of fearing defeat.
"Cao, Cao Cao actually came in person, how should this be good, how should it be good!"
Compared with Ma Teng, who had been in the same camp with Cao Cao, Guo Yan's whole face was not very good, when he was still playing for Dong Zhuo, he was defeated by Cao Cao himself, for Cao Cao, he was born with a fear and shadow.
"Hmph, what's the panic, even if it's him Cao Cao, what can he do, there are only tens of thousands of Wei troops in Tongguan who have lost their hearts, with these people, even if it's him Cao Cao, he will fall down hard under Tongguan once, no matter how bad it is, with those corpses, it is enough to bring trouble to Cao Cao!"
Ma Teng's words seem to be not worried at all and not afraid at all, but the last paragraph reveals Ma Teng's weakness, no one knows that the most fearful and shadowy of Cao Cao is actually Ma Teng.
It is right for people to be afraid because they don't understand, but it's not right, at least for Ma Teng, it is precisely because he understands Cao Cao and clearly understands that if Yuan Shao had adopted Cao Cao's strategy, Dong Zhuo would have been destroyed by the eighteen princes.
When he was in the same camp as Cao Cao, Ma Teng admired Cao Cao and was glad that Cao Cao was on his side, but now as a two-room friend and foe, how much Ma Teng admired and was happy at the beginning, how worried and jealous he was at this time, and the combination of these worries and fears made Ma Teng have fear in his heart.
"Okay, General Guo, don't worry too much, let our army drop the corpse into Tongguan now, as a gift for us to welcome Cao Cao here!"
"Okay, good, General Ma has a very good trip!"
Guo Yan and most of the people who were doing it all nodded, and agreed with a look of great joy, as if in this way, the pressure brought by Cao Cao could be wiped out.
After the joint order of Ma Teng and Guo Yan was issued, there was movement in the camp of the Xiliang coalition army, and a Xiliang sergeant put the body on the catapult and aimed it at Tongguan, ready to wait for the projection order, and during this period, the Xiliang soldier did not calm down, but began to whisper.
"Have you heard, that world-shattering Wei King Cao Cao has come to Tongguan, and the cheers in the pass just now are because of this."
"Hey, you're talking about Cao Cao, the king of Wei who has almost never been defeated, and who is still a vassal in the name of the northern barbarians and set up the northern capital protectorate?"
"But isn't it, hey, I don't know, can we win the battle?"

The shadow of the famous tree, the former Lu Bu was famous for martial arts and the world, but as long as the soldiers heard the name of Lu Bu, the morale of the congenital was a little lower, and at this time, Cao Cao was undefeated, and dominated the world.
As for which of the original Dong Zhuojun who survived the original crusade against Dong Zhuo, his legs trembled with fright, and the memory of Cao Jun chasing them at the beginning resurfaced from his mind again.
"The two generals have an order, catapult, release!"
The herald who came on horseback interrupted the whispering of the Xiliang sergeant, and began to honestly operate the catapult, throwing the corpses on it into Tongguan one by one.
"Damn, it's still here, be careful, king!"
In Tongguan, Cao Ren and other generals who were originally greeting Cao Cao, after seeing the corpse that fell from the sky, their faces turned ugly, and the corpses that might have fallen on Cao Cao's side with swords smashed out one after another.
In the face of this batch, the Wei soldiers also had a lot of turmoil, but when they saw that Cao Cao was still standing there steadily, this turmoil did not turn into panic in the end.
It is obviously impossible to throw a corpse like a stone, endlessly for a few hours, but in two quarters of an hour, no corpse will fall from the sky.
But at this time, most of the area in Tongguan was littered with corpses, the smell of rotten corpses, the smell of blood, and the red and white, stiff brains scattered on the ground, and the flies that hovered over the corpses buzzed, making the entire Tongguan almost instantly turned into hell.
