Chapter 377 Guandu (1) 1/3
boom!
A heavenly thunder fire exploded on the head of Hulao Pass.
A ball of flame suddenly appeared, accompanied by thick smoke of gunpowder, and iron nails shot everywhere... Several Cao soldiers who could not dodge were hit by the iron nails and fell in a pool of blood to cry. However, soon several soldiers rushed up and carried them down the top of the city, and a military doctor came forward to treat them.
Since Liu Chuang popularized military doctors in the Han army, Cao Cao has also quickly planned to build a medical unit.
However, most of the medical staff of the Cao army were recruited from Nanshan Academy and the Yanjing Academy that was later opened. Liu Chuang opened the academy and vigorously promoted medical skills and summarized a simple and effective battlefield treatment procedure. After graduation, most of these students entered the Han army to serve. However, some students were still unwilling to stay in Yanjing, so they were bribed by Cao Cao.
After a year of simple training, Cao's army also began to be equipped with medical soldiers.
Because Cao Cao also knew that surviving these veterans who had been on the battlefield would definitely be an immeasurable wealth. Therefore, Cao Cao also attaches great importance to the medical and military system, and even set up a special position in the army, which was the responsibility of these medical and military soldiers.
Facing the fierce attack of the Han army's thunder and fire, Cao Peng's face was as deep as water.
The crying sounds and the cry for help seemed to have not heard of them, and he just quietly looked at the Han army formation waiting outside the city, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
It has to be said that as time goes by, the deterrent power of Tianlei Fire is gradually weakening.
Even though the black gunpowder developed by Huang Chengyan is generally close to the black gunpowder formula in later generations, due to the development of technology, the power of the black gunpowder at this time is far from comparable to that in later generations. The lethality of the sky thunder fire is not as huge as imagined, and its huge explosion sound is far from reaching the original effect for Cao Jun, who has been mentally prepared.
In order to attack Hulao, Liu Chuang ordered people to allocate three thousand heavenly thunder fires, which almost amounted to the production of the entire Liaodong workshop for two months.
Although its deterrence is not as good as before, the continuous shooting still posed a huge threat to the head of Hulao Pass. The soldiers of Cao's army had to avoid it carefully. After all, once they were hit by the sky thunder fire, even if the power was not as powerful as that of later generations, they could still make people blew up. More importantly, after the sky thunder fire exploded, the coverage was very wide, which also caused Cao's army to dodge carefully.
This also brought a lot of convenience to the attacks of the Han army.
Liu Chuang watched the black smoke rolling in the Hulao, and immediately ordered the three armies to launch an attack.
The impatient Han soldiers who had been waiting for a long time rushed towards Hulao Pass like a tide amid the rumbling drums... Cao Peng hid behind the female wall, with blood stains on his face. Seeing that the Han army stopped shooting the sky thunder and fire. The Han soldiers approached the city wall, he suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Shoot the arrow!"
In an instant, thousands of Cao Jun archers hiding behind the female wall stood up at the same time and shot arrows outside the city desperately.
The Han soldiers who rushed in the front fell to the ground by the sudden rain of arrows and screamed endlessly... However, even so, the Han army's offensive did not weaken at all. They still launched a crazily charge and quickly arrived at the city of Hulao Pass.
Liu Chuang stood under the door to watch the battle with a solemn expression.
He could see that the Cao army seemed to be ready, so the lethality of the Tianlei Fire did not achieve the expected effect.
That's right. The emergence of gunpowder can indeed change the pattern of war.
But today's gunpowder technology obviously cannot produce such a effect, which also made Liu Chuang feel more or less disappointed...
If the gunpowder technology can reach the level of later generations, I am afraid that this Hulao Pass will not be able to withstand it for too long.
After the deterrent power of the sky thunder fire weakened, he could only rely on the impact of soldiers... Liu Chuang thought of this and called Gao Shun, "Xiao Gong, I have heard that I have been invincible in the camp for a long time, but unfortunately I have never been able to understand it. But I don't know that I am now in the camp. But I still have the majesty of the past?"
Gao Shun was anxious when he heard this.
"How can I say this? I have not relaxed my training in the trap camp for these days in Bingzhou."
"In this way, I'll be bothered by Lao Xiaogong and ordered the camp to attack!"
"Here!"
Gao Shun was already a little impatient when he waited for this order.
Since Liu Chuang captured Bingzhou, Gao Shun stayed in Taiyuan. Since then, he has become the prefect of Shangdang, but in fact, he did not spend much effort in the battle against Shangdang. At that time, Liu Chuang swept Bingzhou, which has become an irreversible trend. Yuan's army had no intention of resisting or resisting, and Gao Shun almost won the Shangdang without any blood. In terms of military achievements, Gao Shun was prominent. However, from his heart, he always wanted to have a tough battle. Therefore, in recent years, he has been particularly strict in training for the camp. The camp has grown from the initial 800 people to the current 3,000 people, and its combat effectiveness is stronger than before.
Now, before Hulao Pass, it is the time for Gao Shun to make achievements.
Seeing Liu Chuangdong using the Tianlei Fire, Gao Shun was a little dissatisfied and thought that Liu Chuang was a little bit slaughtered. But when he saw Cao's army's tenacious resistance, Gao Shun was relieved! At the same time, he was even more excited, hoping to climb the tiger prison first and regain his name of being trapped in the battle.
The trapped camp has not been in power for too long since leaving Qingzhou!
Now, it is the time for the camp to revive...
Gao Shun took the order and left, and the Sanqian Clan quickly emerged.
"Lord, now I'm ordering the attack to attack, aren't you a little anxious?"
Fa Zheng couldn't help asking, but saw Liu Chuang shook his head slightly and said, "The sky thunder fire did not produce the effect I expected, so I must make Cao's army feel scared. If you attack in this battle, you may not be able to seize the Huzhu, but it is enough to give Cao's army a certain deterrence.
Xiaozhi, I can't delay it for too long.
Cao Cao has already started to return to help. If I delay in Hulao for one more day, I will be more troublesome... I will be less threats if I conquer Hulao one day."
Fa Zheng thought about it and understood Liu Chuang’s intention.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a tsunami-like cry.
Under the cover of Han army's bows and arrows, the Sanqian Clan launched an attack on Hulao Pass... They acted very quickly, but the formation was not loose in the process. Unlike other people and horses, the Sanqian Clan always maintained the formation in order during the process. Three thousand soldiers rushed forward, and Cao's army, who was guarding Hulao Pass, felt an extraordinary momentum...
Overwhelming!
Cao Peng's face suddenly looked particularly ugly.
Xiahou Dun, who was beside him, recognized the big flag of the trap camp and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Staying camp, this is Lu Bu's trap camp!"
Xiahou Dun is very familiar with the trapped camp.
In the third year of Jian'an, he led his troops to attack Peiguo, but he did not want to be hit by Gao Shun and Zhang Liao.
That battle was the most tragic battle in Xiahou Dun's life... Gao Shun was trapped in the eight hundred times, defeating Cao's army ten times more. Xiahou Dun even witnessed the fierceness of the camp with his own eyes. Although many years have passed, this memory is still profound.
Cao Peng shouted loudly: "Boyi, command me, and I will face the enemy together with my uncle."
The power of the camp was so powerful that Cao Peng had to be cautious... At the same time, the Han army began to fire rocks at the city. The vanguard troops of the camp had already rushed to the city, and ladders quickly laid on the city wall. The camp's camp's graves climbed along the ladder to the city head of Hulao Pass, with extremely fast speed. In just a blink of an eye, someone climbed to the city head. Although the man was quickly killed by Cao's army, with his climb to the city head, more graves of war also began to climb to the city head. And they fought fiercely with Cao's army at Hulao Pass.
Cao Peng held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, running around the city with Xiahou Dun, constantly killing the Han army soldiers who were climbing the city.
As the Han army climbed into the city, the morale of the Han army surged. More and more Han army began to climb to the top of Hulao Pass. The two sides fought desperately on the narrow road, and saw flesh and blood flying everywhere. Corpse fell from the city. The fierceness of the camp really scared Cao Peng... These guys were simply a group of desperate people who were not afraid of life and death. They killed everyone and chopped them up whenever they saw them. Cao Peng saw with his own eyes that several soldiers who were seriously injured in order to cover their robes behind him, and they still rushed up and fought with Cao soldiers. Some of them hugged Cao soldiers with their arms around them, while others threw Cao soldiers down and fought on the ground until they died.
All of who can garrison Hulao are elite soldiers of Cao's army...
However, under the crazy attack of the Han army, even though Cao's army had the advantage of the number of people, they were killed by the Han army and retreated step by step...
"Tiger Guards, Tiger Guards attack!"
Seeing this, Cao Peng hurriedly shouted loudly.
An elite Cao army rushed up from the city and quickly stopped the Han army.
This Cao army was also the Tiger Guard Army trained by Cao Peng himself, and it is also an elite force among the Cao army after the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
Originally, Cao Peng did not intend to let the Tiger Guard appear so soon.
However, the Han army's offensive was too fierce, and he had to use the most elite troops to resist the Han army's offensive...
The Tiger Guards appeared and soon stabilized their positions. The advantage of Cao's numerical army was revealed and they began to launch a counterattack against the Han army.
Although he is brave enough to get into battle, he is short of manpower after all.
Under the fierce counterattack of Cao's army, they began to retreat...
Seeing this, Gao Shun was furious and was about to attack again, but heard a rapid sound of gold.
"Lord, why should I withdraw my troops?"
Gao Shun came to Liu Chuang in a panic and asked loudly, "Give me another half an hour, I will definitely be able to capture Hulao Pass..."
"Xiao Gong, don't worry!
I have seen the bravery of the man who is in trouble.
However, the Cao army was not unprepared... The Cao army appeared just now, obviously their trump card... You don't have to worry, there is still a chance. If you continue to fight like this, not to mention half an hour, even two or three hours, you will not be able to conquer Hulao Pass. Hulao is known as the No. 1 Heluo Pass, so how easy it is to capture? If you continue to attack like this, you don't feel sorry for the men, and I have to feel sorry for you.
Let’s take a break for the time being. I want to see how long he, Cao Youxue, can last."
Gao Shun, silent!
He also knew that he could not conquer the Huzhu in half an hour.
Indeed, Cao's army still has a trump card in his hand. If he continues to attack like this, even if all the camps are killed in battle, they may not be able to seize the tiger prison.
He trained these men himself and regarded them as nephews.
Just that charge just now, more than a hundred people were killed or injured in the battle. Now that I think about it, I really feel sorry for it.
