Chapter 98 Cao Ren's Ambush
Looking from the north bank to the south bank, I saw rolling hills, carpet-like forests, and almost no human beings. The ferry was also silent, with not a single human being in sight.
Liu Xian took out a cylindrical object from his pommel bag, which turned out to be a monocular telescope, and looked at the south bank.
Chen Gong on the side saw such a strange thing for the first time, and couldn't help but ask: "What is in my lord's hand?"
Liu Xian put down the telescope, handed it to Chen Gong, pointed to the smaller end, and said with a smile: "You will understand if you look at this far away."
Chen Gong followed the instructions with curiosity, and suddenly found that the scenery in the distance seemed to be zoomed in several times. The ferry on the other side that was not clearly visible at first became extremely clear, and even the shabby desk on one of the
The scars are also clearly visible.
Chen Gong put down the telescope and exclaimed: "This is really a magical thing!"
Liu Xian laughed and said: "This is not a magical object, it is just a tool that I asked the armory to make. It can be used to observe distant objects, so I call it a telescope."
Chen Gong felt incredible. He looked at the telescope in his hand and thought: "This thing can bring the distant view into front of you. It is really of inestimable value for marching and fighting!"
Then he held up the telescope with both hands and handed it back to Liu Xian, sighing: "I didn't expect that my lord could create such a magical thing. It's really admirable!"
Liu Xian played with the telescope in his hand and said with some regret: "Unfortunately, this lens can only be polished with crystal sheets, and the cost is really high! It would be great if there was glass!"
Chen Gong had never heard of glass and couldn't help but ask: "What kind of glass is the glass that my lord is talking about?"
Liu Xian sighed and realized that he had accidentally revealed the secret again. He smiled and said, "It's not something extraordinary, it's just a man-made crystal-like object!"
Chen Gong blinked, feeling unbelievable.
Liu Xian picked up the telescope and observed the situation on the other side. While observing, he said: "There doesn't seem to be any troops on the south bank..."
Putting down the telescope, he frowned and said, "It's fine for other people, but Cao Cao should be able to guess my actions. Why is there no movement at all on the other side?"
Then he burst into laughter and said: "I am really worried too much. Even if Cao Cao could guess that I would take action, how could he guess that I would cross the river from here."
Chen Gong cupped his fists towards Liu Xian and said, "My lord, please lend me the telescope for observation."
Liu Xian handed the binoculars to Chen Gong.
Chen Gong picked up the telescope and carefully observed the official road on the south bank and the mountains and forests near the official road. He found nothing unusual, only many birds hovering over several forests.
However, at this time, in the mountain forest where Chen Gong could see, ten thousand soldiers and horses led by Cao Ren were lurking.
Cao Ren stood on the top of a mountain covered by thick foliage and looked at the other side. He had a panoramic view of the busy scene on the other side.
Cao Ren couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "My lord is really clever and clever. Liu Xian actually appears here. Although Liu Xian is powerful, he is not as good as my lord!"
An officer rushed to Cao Ren's side, clasped his fists and said, "General, each team has already laid an ambush in accordance with the general's order."
Cao Ren said: "Pass the order, all officers and soldiers should seize the time to eat and rest. When the enemy crosses the river at night, we can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"
The officer asked in confusion: "Tonight? The enemy is just starting to build the pontoon bridge now. They won't be able to cross the river until tomorrow, right?"
Cao Ren shook his head and said: "This Liu Xian is not an ordinary person. I estimate that he will cross the Yellow River as soon as he builds the pontoon bridge. Go and deliver the order."
The officer promised and ran down.
Cao Ren looked at the busy Liu Xianjun on the other side, with excitement in his eyes, and murmured: "My lord said that you are a famous general today, and today I want to show you how powerful I, Cao Ren, am!"
Time passed slowly. Finally, the sun set in the west and the earth became dark. However, a bright moon took over the sun's position and rose into the sky. Against the surrounding night, it looked like a dazzling silver plate high in the sky.
Hanging in the sky.
At this time, the pontoon bridge on the river was basically completed.
The sight turned to Hulao Pass. When the sun rose from the east, the sound of huge war drums suddenly broke the tranquility of the morning. Hundreds of thousands of troops poured out of the camp and approached Hulao Pass to form an array.
The huge military formation is like the sea and the tide, countless flags are surging like clouds, swords and guns are like forests, the cold light is like snow, and the majestic murderous aura fills the air with the shouts, which is frightening!
At this moment, an eagle roar came from the sky, and an eagle was seen circling over the battlefield.
Yuan Shao was riding on a tall horse, high-spirited. Looking at the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, he felt that the heaven and earth were at his feet, and everything would surrender!
With a clanging sound, Yuan Shao pulled out his sword and raised it high, shouting loudly: "Heroes, today is the day to break the thief! Attack!"
The war drums sounded astonishingly loud, and all the coalition troops rushed towards Hulao Pass like a tide, and the earth trembled under their feet.
The war begins!
Countless city rush vehicles collided with the city walls of the city gate, making thrilling collision sounds!
Rulin's archery tower approached the city wall, and the allied army's crossbowmen fired waves of arrows at the city gate. Dong Zhuo's officers and soldiers were seen staggering here and there on the city wall!
Using ladders and flying towers, they rushed straight to the city wall and set up on the top of the city. Allied warriors swarmed onto the city with steel knives in their mouths!
After a while, a bloody battle broke out on the top of the city. A cold light flashed and flesh and blood flew everywhere. Officers and soldiers from both sides continued to fall from the top of the city!
The shrill screams were intertwined with the astonishing roars, and the entire Hulao Pass was in an uproar!
Yuan Shu looked at the scene on the battlefield and happily said to Yuan Shao: "Leader, the enemy's resistance today is obviously not as strong as before! It seems that the battles over the past few days have greatly weakened them!"
Yuan Shaoshen nodded with the same feeling.
Cao Cao came over, pointed to a city wall on the south side, and said: "Alliance leader, most of the defenders on that section of the city wall have been attracted to the city gate. You can immediately send an elite team to raid there. Maybe it will achieve miraculous results!"
Only then did Yuan Shao notice the condition of that section of the city wall, but he showed a confident look on his face and said: "This alliance leader has already noticed it!"
Then he shouted to a general who looked as ferocious as a bloodthirsty tiger beside him: "Yan Liang, lead the warriors to attack that section of the city wall for me! If you succeed, I will take credit for your credit!"
Yan Liang promised loudly, and immediately led a group of special troops wearing leather armor and carrying special bows and long knives with both hands to rush out of the military formation and rushed straight towards the cracked city wall.
In the blink of an eye, the first team of warriors led by Yan Liang climbed to the top of the city, fired arrows with their strong bows, and defeated the enemy with long swords. They killed Dong Zhuo's officers and soldiers until their bloody corpses flew away, and immediately dispersed Dong Zhuo's army there.
When Yuan Shao saw this, he was overjoyed and clapped his hands and shouted: "Good! You are worthy of being my General Yan Liang! You are worthy of being my first warrior!"
Yuan Shu lost no time in flattering him and said: "Such an elite man can be said to be invincible in the world!"
