Chapter 2064 God’s favor, the miracle of the great man
Seven or eight arrows were shot towards Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong shouted loudly and shook out the long sword, hitting the two or three most threatening arrows. Then he ignored the other arrows and kept walking.
Go straight to the Yin Department.
The battle robe on Huang Zhong's body was already dyed red by the blood of someone unknown. As he marched, it was filled with thick blood and cold air, and was filled with endless killing intent. Before Cao Jun could fully react, he
It has crashed directly into Cao Jun's array!
The blade of the long knife is sharp and heavy, which makes it impossible for the long knife to be as agile as a spear when it is danced. It is more of a vigorous move of wide opening and closing, but in Huang Zhong's hands, such a sword
The long sword is masculine and has an extra touch of dexterity.
When breaking the formation, the ferocity of Huang Zhong's long sword was clearly demonstrated. Even if Cao Jun raised his shield to resist, under the sudden impact, the strong shield shattered like paper, and sawdust was flying everywhere.
Cao Jun's sword shield hand just fell to the sky! As Huang Zhong's long sword danced, blood splattered everywhere and he screamed again and again!
In the blink of an eye, Cao's army fell!
A Cao soldier tried to get into Huang Zhong's sword circle and fight Huang Zhong, but Huang Zhong hit him with the end of his long sword. He heard the sound of bones cracking and saw that the armor on Cao Jun's chest was broken.
A piece of it was dented, and when it fell softly, Huang Zhong grabbed it, and then he threw it aside like a human shield, overwhelming six or seven Cao soldiers in a row, rolling to the ground like a gourd.
Fall into a ball.
The soldiers from Huang Zhong's headquarters surged up from behind, and blood flew out from being stabbed with swords and spears. For a while, all they could hear was the screams of Cao's soldiers dying!
It seemed that a long time passed, and it seemed that it only took a few breaths. Huang Zhong kicked away a Cao Jun who was blocking the front. Regardless of whether the Cao Jun lived or died, his eyes fell on Yin Shu in front of him as if they were real!
There is no longer any obstacle between Yin Shu and Huang Zhong.
Yin Shu roared, holding the spear with both hands, and stabbed Huang Zhong in the chest! The spear moved Yin Shu's body, seeming to absorb all of Yin Shu's life and strength, like a snake bouncing in the grass.
, showing his fangs, trying to bite Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong stepped on the front foot and the back foot. His eyes were focused, he twisted his waist and exerted force. The long knife came from behind and came first, carrying the cold wind from bottom to top and raking Yin Shu diagonally!
The long knife is originally longer than the long spear and has a larger attack range, but the speed of the long knife is not as fast as that of the long spear. Under normal circumstances, to put it simply, the long knife is more powerful, but the attack frequency is higher.
Not as good as a spear.
However, Huang Zhong is not within the scope of normal people. In his hands, when the speed of the long knife increases, it is like lightning!
The light of the sword flashed, and the blood light took off. It seemed that a bright red brilliance could be seen slanting in the sky like a moon. The red moon was like a hook, which was the gap between life and death. Even though Yin Shu tried his best to twist and avoid, he was originally struggling to move forward.
Rush, there is a way to dodge, but Huang Zhong slashed directly from the waist to the chest. As the iron pieces of Zha armor flew around, the blood all over Yin Shu's body was like a cowhide water bag being cut out.
Like a huge gap, it spurted out from the chest and abdomen. Naturally, the spear in Yin Shu's hand no longer had the strength to move forward. After staring at Huang Zhong, he collapsed!
A commander of the Cao army following Yin Shu watched blankly as Yin Shu was chopped down by Huang Zhong, watched Yin Shu twitching and fell into the yellow sand, and looked at the soldiers of Huang Zhong's headquarters.
Rushing forward like a wolf and a tiger, Cao Jun stretched his throat and made a creaking sound like rust, and then finally screamed miserably: "It's over! Defeated!"
Amidst the screams, the morale of everyone in Cao's army collapsed in vain. Whether they were fighting or standing on the outside, even the archers standing far away who were recovering their strength couldn't help but collapse.
It seems that the only thing they have regained is the strength in their legs, and their arms can only be used to hold their heads and run around!
What kind of general is this? What kind of soldier is this?
Didn't we agree that only those under Qiusi's command can be called elites?
What is happening in front of you?
It's over, defeated! Cao Jun's forward cried for his father and mother, discarding his helmet and armor. He didn't want to get an advantage from the swords and guns of Huang Zhong's soldiers, but he just wanted to outrun his comrades...
Cao Hong hurriedly hurried, but failed to catch up with the Yin Department. In the end, he could only stare at the defeated soldiers in front of him, grinding his teeth and asked: "What is going on?"
In fact, the defeated soldiers of Cao's army also wanted to know what was going on and why there could be monsters like Huang Zhong in a ruined place like Zhuyang...
Cao Hong also couldn't understand, and even thought that Cao's soldiers might have deliberately exaggerated the truth in order to evade responsibility. Just like most whistleblowers would be revealed to have depression, what they said was naturally not very reliable.
Huang Zhong?
Is it really that powerful?
Although the Yin Department under Cao Hong is not too strong, it is not too weak either. It cannot stand up to Huang Zhong? Is this true or false?
But regardless of whether Huang Zhongwuyong is really so tyrannical, let’s talk about what to do next?
Cao Hong's original plan was to defeat Zhuyang, and then force Xu Huang to stay in Wancheng, delaying the overall rhythm of the Hussars, and incidentally solve the problem of the military fortress southwest of Fancheng...
But now that the plan had just begun, they received a basin of cold water, well, ice water. Not only were their men defeated and killed, but the morale of Cao Hong's soldiers was even affected.
Continue the attack?
On the one hand, the morale of his soldiers has been frustrated, and on the other hand, if Huang Zhong is really so sharp, Zhuyang may be difficult to capture. If he is delayed under Zhuyang for a long time, Cao Hong may be the one who has problems in his retreat!
Leading the army to retreat?
Soldiers are like long swords. If they attack poorly, they will naturally damage their own morale. If they cannot make up for it with a big victory and retreat like this, even if they return to Fancheng, they will lose their fighting spirit and lose their fighting ability...
what to do?
Cao Hong was in a dilemma, and in the Yangtze area, Cao Jun's camp was quite overwhelming. Cao Jun's soldiers were holding banners, either patrolling the sentry, or repairing in the camp. However, within sight, there were all capable and sturdy young men.
The soldiers are strong, the flags are flying, and the sun is dancing, showing the fierceness of the army.
The first battle of Cao Cao's march south was Maicheng.
This time Cao Cao brought not only Qingzhou soldiers, but also young men selected from Jingzhou soldiers. These Jingzhou young men, after all, have gone through certain training, and they are considered good with equipment and other equipment.
, so it can be regarded as a soldier used directly, and it also enhanced Cao Cao's strength to a certain extent.
In addition to these Jingzhou soldiers, there are also some auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands. These auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands are responsible for their own work in groups, either cutting wood and collecting firewood, or building camp fortifications. The auxiliary soldiers are also responsible for
It's easy to say, civilians, they are used as cannon fodder in the war, and they are hard labor on weekdays. The food and other things are extremely poor, and the accommodation conditions are almost equivalent to no accommodation. Under the high-intensity work, plus not having enough food and clothing,
Almost every day there would be some peasants who could no longer hold on, or would fall down while working, or never get up again at night. Anyway, some corpses would be carried out and thrown into the wilderness every day.
This is the normal state of war in the Han Dynasty. When Cao Cao attacked Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou, they were all fought in this way. Naturally, it was impossible to immediately change the military structure when he attacked Jiangling.
A mode of combat...
At this moment, Cao Cao was standing on a high hill, standing upright, looking down at the military camp below and at the soldiers at his feet. Behind Cao Cao, stood Dian Wei, and behind Dian Wei, there was also Dian Wei.
Some generals from the Cao family and the Xiahou family also stood silently without saying a word.
"Zidan," Cao Cao withdrew his gaze and called, "Come forward."
Cao Zhen responded loudly, stepped forward and stood beside Cao Cao. Cao Cao patted Cao Zhen's shoulder affectionately and asked, "How did you feel when you met Jiang Dongbing the day before yesterday?"
Cao Zhen's original name was Qin Zhen, and he was originally the son of Qin Shao.
When Yuan Shu sent people to assassinate Cao Cao, it happened that Qin Shao and Cao Cao were somewhat similar, so the assassin mistook Qin Shao for Cao Cao, and Cao Cao escaped the disaster. After that, Cao Cao adopted Qin Shao's son and changed his name to Cao Cao.
Cao Zhen.
Cao Zhen pondered for a while and said: "Not weak! If we defend the city, it may be difficult to attack. In addition, there are many boats in Jiangdong, making it easy to travel. Maicheng is where two rivers converge. If boats go back and forth in Jiangdong,
It’s quite difficult to guard against.』
Cao Cao laughed and said, "What Zhen'er said is quite true. What would you do if you commanded your troops to attack Maicheng?"
Cao Zhen cupped his hands and said, "We should lead the troops to cut off the rest first, cut off the left and right sides of Maicheng, and then lead the troops to surround it. We will definitely be able to defeat it!"
Cao Cao stroked his beard, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes. After a while, he smiled slightly, and then said: "In that case, I will go with Zhen'er to have three thousand soldiers, and first cut off the bonds and open the way for the army! I don't know Zhen'er."
Is it possible?』
Cao Zhen was stunned and immediately responded, "I will obey my lord's order!"
Cao Cao nodded, gave the order, and then watched Cao Zhen order all his soldiers and drive away from the camp...
On the high hill, the breeze blows slowly.
Cao Cao raised his eyes again and looked into the distance. This time, Cao Cao not only looked to the south, but also looked back to the north, as if he wanted to see the situation in the world clearly.
And Cao Cao is not the only one who wants to see the world clearly.
Although it is now the autumn harvest season, there is not much joy of autumn harvest in Xuxian County, but instead there is an atmosphere of uneasiness.
The hussar general led the troops and raided Xu County before, and the incident is still fresh in my mind. Now, another hussar troops have arrived in Yangcheng. Although they are said to have set up camp, but who knows when the old things will happen again.
one time?
If we say that in the past, local officials still had some time to spend on official duties. Since then, they have almost completely given up and ignored the affairs. The reason is very simple. Under such a situation, who has the intention to take care of the local affairs?
?
Today's Han Dynasty and the Emperor are basically reduced to puppets. This is almost everyone's understanding. Now the two powerful officials in the East and the West seem to be attacking each other because of the Jingzhou issue. So all the local officials under the two behemoths have a little
If you are not careful, wouldn't you turn into dust? In such a situation, if you can still remain calm and show no fear, you are either really intelligent or extremely slow...
Could it be that the next step is to determine whether the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overpowers the east wind?
But how can anyone with a little vision and some foresight fail to see the key issue in this? The general trend of the world seems to have reached a critical point, and it is impossible to say that the world will collapse in the next moment! Therefore, most of the people are in the middle of the battlefield at this time
In addition to sending people to find out the news, the local officials frequently communicated with each other and went to gatherings to discuss and see which side of this incident was best to place their bets on, and who was not yet qualified to participate.
, or waiting impatiently for the opportunity to change, or praying that this storm will not affect them, it varies.
Whoever takes money, carries whose bowl, and eats whose food naturally has to listen to whoever says it. As for most of Cao's soldiers, the Central Dynasty of the Han Dynasty is almost bankrupt and has no money at all. Even Emperor Liu
The association depends on Cao Cao, so there is no need to pay ordinary soldiers. Therefore, it can be said that everyone from soldiers to generals will inevitably have some thoughts. If Cao Cao falls that day...
Cao Cao was already a very lucky man. He was just a eunuch. When he was young, he was just the younger brother who followed Yuan Shao. In terms of literature, he could only serve as an order for a county, and in terms of military affairs, he could only serve as an official.
He was a miscellaneous school captain. He could neither be said to be skilled in bows and horses, nor to be said to be unparalleled in martial arts. When he raised an army to fight against Dong, he suffered repeated defeats. He was able to recruit all the soldiers in the middle of the night, but in the end he surpassed the two soldiers.
Yuan became an important minister in the court, spanning Jizhou and Yuzhou. If it weren't for the monstrous Cavalry General Fei Qian, Cao Cao could really be said to be "favored by God".
These days, Liu Xie is also concerned about the changes in the situation in the Han Dynasty, and tries his best to collect some information and intelligence through some people. Because overall, Cao Cao and Fei Qian have not completely broken up, and there are still business contacts, so naturally there will be
It has become the largest source of information and intelligence. He not only knows some changes in Guanzhong through these trades, but also brings some news from the Western Regions. Of course, Liu Xie cannot say that he fully understands the real situation, and can only say that it is vague.
speculation.
The Western Regions have been forgotten by many people in the Han Dynasty. Even when Liu Xie asked some people who he thought should be outstanding talents, he often got some vague answers. It can even be said that in the entire Yuzhou and Jizhou, there are no
People can have a complete understanding of the Western Regions, and no one can give Liu Xie suggestions from a considerable perspective...
So are the Western Regions a part of the Han Dynasty? After attacking the Western Regions, the Hussars General still had some remaining troops to go forward. So was it a bluff, or did he really have some spare strength? If it was the latter, he would have to change his previous attack on the Hussars.
The judgment was pushed back again.
You know, if you misjudge the strength of the Hussars, it almost means you misjudged the situation in the world!
Of course, even if such a topic is clear in one's mind, it will not be discussed openly. Even more often, it can only be a vague hint between each other, and they understand each other.
For Fei Qian, even Cao Cao's subordinates or officials in Xu County have many praises in their evaluations. After all, as a rare heroic hero in the Han Dynasty, traveling across the north and south, he can almost be said to be
Starting from scratch, to be able to reach what we are today can almost be called the "Miracle of the Han Dynasty".
So once "God's Favor" confronts "The Miracle of the Great Han"...
How can there be potential when there is strength...
Liu Xie didn't know if Cao Cao would complain to God secretly, but he knew that he also complained to God, but basically, God didn't pay much attention to him. This was the case before, and it is also the case now. God obviously has a lot of complaints about God.
The trivial matters above ground are of no interest.
Therefore, in the final analysis, including Liu Xie, the Han officials stared and stretched their necks to wait. Is "God's favor" better, or is the "Han miracle" having the last laugh?
What? There is another Kodong? Where is Kodong? What is Kodong?
In Jiangdong, if Sun Quu knew about the gang in Jizhou and Yuzhou, what the old and young in Xu County said about him, he would jump into rage, wave his sword and gun, and go north to ask for an explanation...
Sun Quan himself was not like Sun Jian and Sun Ce, who grew up on horseback. He had neither outstanding martial arts nor extraordinary strategies. That's why the first large-scale Jiangbei Expedition in history was so...
It is full of loopholes and mistakes are made frequently.
The most important point is that Sun Quan has an extremely good face. He has to put gold on his face even if he doesn't have gold foil. If he doesn't have gold foil, he can also put silver on it. If he doesn't have it, he has to put some powder on it. It's like when the Jiangxi Northeast Expedition failed and he was about to retreat, he still had to put gold foil on his face.
He wanted to pretend to be a master and deliberately stayed to drink and have fun with everyone, "staying behind the palace of thousands of people to drink and have fun with the generals." Then Zhang Liao seized the opportunity and almost died in Hefei. Even so,
After the Northern Expedition completely failed, he still pretended to be fine and held a banquet and drank wine, which made all Jiangdong officials cry and said, "I would like to take this as a lifelong commandment"...
Therefore, when Sun Quan received Zhu Huan's division of troops, not only was he unable to effectively combat the rebellion of the South Vietnamese, but he was also trapped in a tight siege. This was the anger of leaving. The source of this anger belonged to Zhu Huan and others.
Belongs to Sun Quan himself.
"Why are you doing this?!" Sun Quan's eyes widened and he grasped the table tightly with his hands, as if he wanted to crush the table into pieces.
Zhu Zhi said calmly: "Being greedy for merit and rashly advancing... In addition, there may be soldiers from Wuling in Changsha to provide reinforcements to the Yue people..."
Sun Quan was waiting for Zhu Zhi, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"How could I make such rash remarks without any evidence before?" Zhu Zhi was not confused at all, and even criticized him, "In military and national affairs, one cannot be careless. Naturally, I should be careful in my words and deeds in order to live up to my responsibility."
Entrusted by the government..."
Sun Quan took a deep breath, "In this situation, does Ai Qing have any good ideas?"
