Cao Cao smiled and said: "You and I are not outsiders, there is no need to be like this!" ”

Immediately, Cao Cao ordered Ma Chao, who had been waiting impatiently: "Meng Qi, order the First Army to attack immediately!" ”

"Order!" Ma Chao promised and hit the horse down.

Immediately the artillery roared, two quarters of an hour later, the artillery fire stopped, and then, the war drums of the Wei army rang out loudly, and the 30,000 soldiers of the first army of the Wei army were divided into 30,000 troops and pressed towards the mountain beam in an orderly manner, the momentum was like a cloud, like moving a mountain, which was completely different from the situation of the Kangju army just now.

In fact, the 30,000 soldiers of the First Legion who are attacking at this moment cannot be regarded as the real soldiers of the First Legion in the strict sense, they are only the reserve army that was added to the First Legion not long ago, and the gap between them and the real soldiers of the First Legion is very huge in all aspects, but I believe that they will soon become the soldiers of the First Legion worthy of the name, and the glory of the Iron and Blood Conquest and the First Legion is to temper their flames.

The Wei army advanced to the halfway point of the mountain, and the tower shield hand and the sword shield hand formed an arc-shaped defense line in front of it, and continued to advance, and then the Jin army archers began to shoot, but the arrows fired by the Jin army basically hit the shield line, and almost no results were achieved.

Nevertheless, the archers of the Jin Army continued to release their arrows.

The Wei army advanced to the foot of the mountain beam fortress, and the shield line suddenly dispersed, and dozens of ladders rushed out from behind the shields, and at the same time, the strong crossbowmen of the Wei army fired arrows at the fortress together.

Set up the ladder, the assault troops rushed to the fortress along the ladder, the arrows rained down, the Wei soldiers continued to fall from the air, the Wei crossbowmen returned fire with strong crossbows, the whistling arrow rain washed the wall, and the Jin soldiers who were hit by the arrows screamed and fell from the city.

A quarter of an hour later, the first Wei soldiers attacked the city, and then the Wei assault troops rushed to the city without fear of death, and finally tore a gap in the Jin people's wall defense line and laid a bridgehead position after paying a considerable price.

Subsequently, the Wei assault troops tore through the Jin people's defense line in other sections one after another.

The battle at the top of the city was fierce and bloody, with earth-shattering roars and the sonorous sound of weapons deafening, as soldiers from both sides fell from the top of the city, and seriously wounded soldiers groaned in pools of blood.

The Wei army's attacking troops were certainly not afraid of death, and the Jin army was also extremely brave. It's a showdown between two warriors!

The fierce battle lasted for nearly two hours, and the Jin army gradually showed its disadvantage.

With a loud bang, the gate of the entire wooden village was lifted up, the scene was spectacular, not waiting for the smoke and dust to disperse, 10,000 Wei troops shouted fiercely, and quickly entered, and the entire Jin National Front began to collapse.

The Jin army abandoned the city wall defense line and scattered into the fortress. The Wei army, which rushed into the fortress, engaged in a brutal street battle with the Jin army, with eyes full of blood and bloodthirsty faces, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

At this time, the Jin army has lost the geographical advantage of city defense, and they are destined to not last long!

The fierce battle continued until midnight, when part of the demoralized Jin army finally laid down their arms, while the other fled towards the Minoan fortress.

The Minoan Fortress is located in the middle of the Minoan Mountains and is the core position of the entire Minoan defense line, and the fortress that has just been captured by the Wei army is only one of the most important fortresses of the Minoan Fortress.

In fact, these forts were not long ago owned by the Kangju Army.

The 1st Army of the Wei Army then entered the fortress, while the main force of the Wei Army turned to the direction of the Minoan Fortress and set up camp three miles in front of the Minoan Fortress.

That night, while Cao Cao was discussing his next plan with his generals, the scout officer rushed into the tent.

"Your Majesty, we found that the main force of the Jin Army has been scattered to the north!" Scout official report.

Everyone present couldn't help but be stunned. Cao Cao asked, "Are you sure?" ”

The scout officer replied: "The three scouts have all determined the opponent's actions, and the entire team is several miles long, so it is impossible to feint the troops!" ”

Cao Cao immediately set his eyes on the sand table in front of him, his fingers moved dozens of miles north from the location of the Minoan Fortress, and paused on a city, "Wild Horse City, they must be planning to retreat here!" ”

Mustang City is in the north of Kangju, due to the special terrain, it is difficult to defend against attacks from the north, so Kangju took the initiative to abandon this place before the war, and for the attack from the south, it can form a strong defense line, and at this moment, it is close to the territory of the Jin country, so it is more convenient to obtain supplies and support from the Jin people.

"Your Majesty, let the last general attack!" Ma Chao was impatient to ask for battle.

Cao Cao ignored Ma Chao and thought about it.

Cao Cao asked the scout officer a few questions, and the scout officer gave detailed answers one by one.

Cao Cao raised his waist and said to the generals: "If what I expected is good, the people of the Jin Kingdom must have set up an ambush on the middle of the road, and if they rush to pursue, they will definitely lose more than they lose!" ”

"But just watching them escape?" Ma Chao was very unwilling.

Cao Cao frowned and said: "Our army has experienced more than a month of fierce fighting, and the total number of casualties is nearly 500,000!" The armies are already quite fasting! The consumption of logistics materials is huge, and the burden is heavy! Now it's no longer possible to go on the offensive! ”

The generals and King Kangju couldn't help but frown and nodded.

"The order is given, and the First Legion immediately seizes the Minoan Fortress and the surrounding fortresses! Meng Qi, you lead the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry forward for twenty miles to be a vigilance! ”

"No!"

Half an hour later, 30,000 Wei troops arrived at the fortress and found that the Minoan fortress was indeed an empty city, so they immediately occupied the Minoan fortress, and at the same time, the other 30,000 soldiers of the First Army occupied the fortress around the Minoan fortress.

When the rising sun rose from the east, the Minoan defense line, which had been lost for more than half a month, once again fluttered the military flags of the Wei army and Kangju.

Ma Chao entered the big tent in a hurry, only to see Cao Cao falling asleep with his forehead propped up, hesitated, and cautiously retreated outside the tent.

"What's the matter?" Cao Cao asked without raising his head.

Ma Chao spit out his footsteps, hugged his fists and smiled: "Your Majesty, you are not asleep?" ”

Cao Cao raised his head, "It's Meng Qi!" Is there something going on? ”

Ma Chao replied: "Everything is normal! Just as Your Majesty had predicted, our scouts had found traces of an ambush thirty miles north of the Minoan Mountains! ”

Cao Cao nodded, "What about King Kangju?" ”

Ma Chao picked at his head, "It seems to have gone to Minos Fortress!"

Cao Cao stood up and walked to the huge map on the side of the big tent, his brows furrowed.

"I don't know how Zilong's situation is? Hopefully our previous offensive will have the desired effect! (To be continued.) )
