Thousands of miles apart, the flames of war are so similar.
Mo County.
More Cao Jun defenders came from all over the city.
Gao Rou miscalculated.
Indeed, Cao Jun's procedures were fake and simple, and his precautions for checking sentries were lax. These were all things that Gao Rou expected, but Gao Rou was the only one who missed one...
Now that the news of Yi Jing's attack has spread, no matter what, the surrounding area is somewhat prepared!
Mo County did not expect the hussars to attack, but there were far more Cao Jun soldiers assembled in Mo County than usual!
In normal times, there would only be 500 to 800 soldiers in the city of Muxian County, and they might all be old, weak, sick and disabled, but it is different now! Especially after the fall of Yijing, the manpower and material resources originally intended to be sent to Yijing
, some of them are stored in Mo County. After all, they have been sent all the way, and it is impossible to transport them back again.
Gao Rou never expected that nearly three thousand soldiers would be stationed in this county!
The information Gao Rou obtained from Mo County before was true but also outdated...
So now Gao Rou feels like there is no end to the killings. After killing one wave, another wave comes again!
Although they occupied the city gate and used fire to block Cao Jun's soldiers in the street, Cao Jun's soldiers soon found a way to drag away the burning baggage carts, and some Cao Jun soldiers came around from the alley at the top of the wall...
If Gao Rou's force is strong enough, or if he brings enough people with him, then launching a powerful attack will more easily create a domino effect. The small players will overthrow the big players, and the small rout will lead to a big escape, and finally the victory will be successful.
Mo County.
But Gao Rou’s martial arts...
generally.
The number of people brought with them is too many for the transport team, but for the more than 2,000 soldiers in Mo County, it is too few.
The small one couldn't push it, and the big one couldn't fall down. Instead, Gao Rou was pressed near the door and fell into a bloody battle.
Sometimes gaps are often hidden in places that are generally invisible.
Just like many businesses in later generations, they all do a good job on the surface, but secretly reduce their sales in places where customers can't see it...
The most interesting thing is that some of the joint venture's yellow-skinned and white-core models have tried their best to reduce the allocation, claiming that some functions are "unusable"!
When Gao Rou followed Wei Yan, he watched Wei Yan kill those Cao Jun generals and military commanders, just like chopping melons and vegetables. However, when he actually got there, he realized that it was not that simple.
When a rookie sees an expert being relaxed and comfortable, he thinks he can do it too...
Gao Rou thought that he had followed Wei Yan several times, and he was the leader in Yijing last time, so he should be able to go out. However, he did not expect that even Cao Jun, who was also facing a rookie, could not do what Wei Yan did.
Effect.
Even if the soldiers of Cao's army are fragile and attack one at a time, they will be surrounded by Cao's army.
What's more, he is not good at martial arts. He seems to be the same as Wei Yan, who also slashed with a sword, but he also slashed with a sword. Wei Yan could hit the opponent's vital points, while Gao Rou could only hit the shield or armor, making a clanging sound.
It looked like sparks were flying and it was very sharp, but in fact, after cutting for a while, the knife became dull.
The lethality is not enough. Unlike Wei Yan, who can kill the leader in a surprise attack and use the unparalleled ability to cut grass, he can only grind it with one knife. Naturally, both efficiency and lethality are a bit weak. Fortunately,
When Gao Rou and others gradually fell into passivity, their morale, endurance, and physical strength gradually declined, Yan Rou came.
Diffuse fireworks enveloped Mo County, and the air was filled with the choking smell of burnt meat and blood. The sounds of killing and shouting one after another completely obscured the sound of Yan Rou and others approaching.
The military academy of Cao's army stationed at the gate of Mo County tried its best to direct Cao's soldiers to fight, but his hoarse shouts seemed to sound particularly sad and desperate in this dark night. He relied on the help of several warehouses he had killed before.
The soldiers of Cao Cao, who fled in panic, managed to regroup their formations, but Yan Rou and Liu Zhi arrived with their men!
In order to gain credit, Liu Zhi did not dare to compete with Yan Rou for the south gate, so he took a shortcut and led his troops to attack the north gate!
Yan Rou still has to go around half a circle to the south of the city, so it's relatively far away.
So it was Liu Zhi who launched the attack first.
But speaking of it, I don’t know if it was Liu Zhi’s luck. Most of Cao’s troops at the North City Gate were transferred to the South Gate to support him because of Gao Rou’s trouble at the South City Gate. This happened to give Liu Zhi an excellent opportunity.
Chance!
In order to quickly capture Mo County, Liu Zhi did not hesitate to throw all his troops into the battlefield.
Liu Zhi and his soldiers used the ladders they carried to set up on the trench, and then directly set them up on the city wall, shouting and climbing to the top of the city!
The defending captain of Cao's army, who was commanding the counterattack in the city, thought he had fallen into the trap of diverting the tiger away from the mountain. He was frightened. Seeing that the situation at the south gate seemed to be under control, he hurriedly mobilized his soldiers to defend the north city.
…
…
At the south city gate.
If Gao Rou knew that it was Liu Zhi who saved his life, he would not be able to express his gratitude in return.
But who can know?
The battlefield is always so magical.
Gao Rou couldn't hold it any longer at the moment. He regretted why he was so bold and thought he could take over the county town just like Wei Yan...
At the next moment, he discovered that Cao Jun's offensive had weakened, and it seemed that he could hold on again...
Although Gao Rou didn't understand what happened, it was a good thing that he survived.
And Gao Rou also felt strange, why did the morale of Cao's soldiers not collapse?
Aren't the soldiers of Cao's army in Yi Jing ruined?
Why not in Mo County?
Gao Rou thought wrong.
Cao Jun's soldiers, especially those at the bottom, actually didn't ask for much.
After all, there are some differences in different places, so as long as there are slightly better guarding officers, Cao's soldiers will not be so completely destroyed...
Although the garrison of Min County was negligent and failed to warn Gao Rou before his sneak attack and failed to detect it in time, he treated ordinary soldiers pretty well, so he has not completely collapsed until now.
Speaking of which, the reason why Yi Jing's lower-level soldiers died is because Yi Jing's general did not regard these lower-level soldiers as human beings, so the lower-level soldiers had no sense of responsibility for Yi Jing, and M County still maintained some
The most basic attitude towards ordinary soldiers does not mean that one is scorning human lives and drinking soldiers' blood to the extent of anger and resentment, so they cannot be treated in the same way. I feel that this is the case in Yi Jing and that it is the same in all counties under Cao Cao's rule.
Gao Rou, who came recklessly, suffered a lot.
Even though Cao Jun's offensive slowed down a bit, Gao Rou's strength and stamina were still exhausted. His shield was knocked off at some point, and the sword in his hand was curled.
A soldier of Cao Army rushed forward, but Gao Rou failed to kill him with a knife. Instead, he was hugged by his feet and couldn't break free for a while. Then another soldier of Cao Army took the opportunity to make a gash on his thigh, and he was immediately dripping with blood!
Gao Rou screamed in pain!
The old injury has not completely healed, and a new injury has been added. This leg may be useless...
Gao Rou's guards rushed forward, protected Gao Rou with their shields, and dragged her behind.
When Cao Jun saw Gao Rou and others retreating, they involuntarily moved forward to pursue them.
The entire front line was crumbling and was trapped in the small area of the doorway.
At this moment, Yan Rou arrived.
…
…
Yan Rou faced the Cao soldiers, roared, used her spear to push away the spears of the Cao soldiers, and cut them across their necks. As the blood spattered, she shouted, "Follow me! Fight in!"
』
Yan Rou's men followed Yan Rou closely, slashing and stabbing with swords and spears, advancing step by step, which was unstoppable.
Cao Jun, who was originally besieging Gao Rou and others, saw that Yan Rou and other fresh troops were so sharp and killed more than a dozen people in succession. They lost their courage and the remaining Cao Jun soldiers did not dare to continue going up. Some even started to run away.
As a result, he was beheaded by the war supervisor.
Gao Rou let out a long breath and almost collapsed to the ground. She shook her body with her sword and leaned against the wall. She was covered in blood and breathing heavily.
Yan Rou stopped. Seeing Gao Rou's behavior, she had a little more respect, and said, "Do you still have fighting strength? If you don't have any, just rest here to recuperate. If you still have some strength left, then you can do whatever you want."
Someone captured the Yamen County Government Office!"
Yan Rou's attitude towards these surrendered generals of Cao's army was also very simple. Whether they could fight or not was another matter. Whether they dared to fight or not was the most important criterion. Seeing Gao Rou's bloody battle, he naturally gained a little more recognition.
Gao Rou heard this and knew that Yan Rou meant well.
Because in attacking the government office, Yan Rou actually didn't need Gao Rou's help at all.
Yan Rou said this because she was just taking care of Gao Rou.
Gao Rou smiled and stood up with all her strength, "Thank you for your kindness! I'll just stay here and guard this door for the general!"
Yan Rou nodded and said no more. She raised her spear and shouted, "Come with me!"
…
…
Liu Zhi wanted to take the credit, but Cao Jun came back for reinforcements.
After finally climbing up the city wall of Muxian County along the ladder, we were surrounded by Cao Jun's defenders.
Liu Zhi swung his sword and slashed at the Cao soldiers on the opposite side, and cut off the halberd handles of the Cao soldiers with one blow.
The soldiers of Cao's army were stunned. They originally wanted to retreat, but were pushed back by other soldiers of Cao's army behind them. Instead, they advanced instead of retreating, which caught Liu Zhi off guard...
Cao's soldiers threw half of the wooden handle in Liu Zhi's face.
Liu Zhi subconsciously tilted his head and turned to avoid it, and then he knew something was wrong!
How lethal can a wooden handle be?
Just lower your head and use a helmet to resist...
As a result, the range of movement is too large now, and his body is exposed outside the shield.
He tried to use his shield to defend himself again, but was held down by Cao Jun who came up to him, and he couldn't move for a while!
Before Liu Zhi could return his sword to slash the Cao soldier who was holding down his shield, a spear was stabbed in front of him!
Liu Zhi had no way to hide, and he couldn't defend himself with his shield. In a hurry, he let go and struck with the sword but lacked the strength. He couldn't completely knock the spear away. The spear scratched his arm. He screamed in pain and couldn't hold the sword.
, fell to the ground, but luckily he raised his foot based on instinct and kicked away the Cao soldiers who were close to him.
Liu Zhi was injured in his right arm, and his combat strength was immediately reduced by more than half.
Cao Jun's military commander was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately howled, "Kill! Kill him! That's a thief general, behead him, and he will be promoted to the third level immediately!"
Cao Jun swarmed up and tried to fight off the drowned dog.
Liu Zhi secretly cried out that he was unlucky!
…
…
The spear was swung, bringing with it bursts of bloody wind.
Yan Rou roared in like a bloodthirsty beast.
Amidst the violent shouts, blood sprayed everywhere, severed limbs and arms flew in the air, and fierce screams suddenly became one in front of the Mo County Government Office.
Yan Rou rushed forward and killed two people in an instant.
A soldier of Cao's army roared and rushed out from one side, slashing Yan Rou with his sword.
Yan Rou stepped aside slightly, grabbed the enemy's arm with one hand, pushed his legs up and down, tripping Cao Jun directly to the ground, twisting his sword smoothly, and stabbed it down.
Under the knife, blood spattered, and the screams were heartbreaking.
"Quack!"
Yan Rou twisted the handle of the knife, and the screams stopped.
The surrounding Cao soldiers subconsciously took half a step back.
Sometimes, people's intuition is very sensitive.
When these soldiers of the Cao army faced Gao Rou or Liu Zhi, although they did not know Gao and Liu, they could instinctively sense that they could fight. However, when facing Yan Rou, they did not do this.
an idea.
Yan Rou's movements are not fancy at all.
Even if he doesn't scream and dance with his hands and feet, he won't wave his spear easily, but as soon as he takes action, he will kill the opponent without any ambiguity, and he will even twist the knife that has been inserted into the vital part...
…
This damn guy is simply too skilled, isn’t it?
"You will be captured if you don't surrender!" Yan Rou shouted, "Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
The magistrate of Muxian County was in the government office. He stepped on a shelf and leaned on the wall, with his head half-opened to take a peek. Yan Rou shouted and almost fell down.
The servants quickly stepped forward to help him, and felt that the Magistrate's legs were as soft as freshly baked steamed buns, so soft that he could turn around.
"It's over... it's over..."
The magistrate of Min County murmured, his expression dull.
What's going on? Wasn't everything fine during the day? Why did the situation in Mo County become like this at night after just two sips of wine?!
The magistrate of Min County originally thought that he was well-read in the scriptures and knew astronomy and geography. Moreover, the magistrate of Min County had also received news before, saying that an angel was coming. If nothing unexpected happened, the two sides were about to cease fighting, so as long as they could
If you persist for a few more days, you can definitely build up your reputation. Even if the Hussars really come to fight, you can still hold on to Mo County for a month or two. By then, won't you become famous in Jizhou and become a hero of Shandong?
Now he was dumbfounded.
Who said that the magistrate of Min County was a descendant of the Shandong gentry, but he was not considered a wealthy family. After Yuan Shao's death, his family surrendered to Cao Cao, and he barely managed to become a county magistrate, and then he never got promoted.
It didn't matter to him that he didn't get promoted. Anyway, Cao Cao held important positions and rarely gave them to outsiders, so he was not the only one in Jizhou who complained about not being promoted. The only thing that allowed him to continue to stay in the relatively remote Muxian County was
The reason for being close to the area in northern Xinjiang is that it was originally relatively peaceful...
As a result, things are not going well now!
This knife and gun are almost reaching my face...
"Langjun, Langjun!" the servant shouted anxiously, "What should I do? The bandit army is coming in! What should I do?!"
The magistrate of Muxian County took a long breath and tried hard to restore his paralyzed legs to normal. Then he straightened his robes and scolded the servants around him, "How can you talk nonsense?! Where is this bandit army? This is a big man."
Hussars!』
"Ah?" The slave was stunned.
"What are you doing standing still? Open the door!"
The magistrate of Muxian County swallowed his saliva, "I, I want to surrender... well, I want to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light!"
…
…
The magistrate of Muxian County voted, saying that he had gone to the spring water, and sold the captain of the Mxian County Duwei to the outside push tower.
The captain of Mo County, who almost forced Liu Zhi to a dead end, sighed deeply after receiving the news, abandoned Liu Zhi, opened the city gate, and ran away among the fleeing people.
Liu Zhi escaped from death, gasping for air and in shock.
At first, he had the same idea as Gao Rou, thinking "I can have sex with me", but now he really understands that many things are not as simple as they seem...
The blood and death made him feel shocked and frightened.
It turns out that he is really going to die!
Talking about war on paper is one thing, but actually fighting it is another thing entirely.
Now that he had narrowly escaped death, Liu Zhi's face turned pale. He didn't know whether it was because he had lost too much blood or was afraid. At this moment, he wanted to escape from here, to escape the killing and blood, and to find a beautiful place in the mountains.
Stay away from the cruelty and pain of the world.
But when the city's cheers of "The Hussars are victorious" resounded through the sky, Liu Zhi stood up again and put the thought of retirement behind him.
"The hussars are victorious! Victorious!"
Liu Zhi shouted after him.
The other surviving soldiers also shouted together.
As long as the Hussars continue to win, he will naturally be able to make progress, so why should he rush to retire?
Right?
…
…
Xu County.
Xun Yu and Cui Yan were drinking.
The dishes on the table are exquisite and full of color, flavor and taste.
But neither of them paid attention to the dishes. They occasionally raised their wine glasses and moved their chopsticks while chatting and laughing, which was more like covering up their thinking.
"Cui Shijun." Xun Yu now has a personable demeanor and a peaceful demeanor. He seems to have no trace of the decadence and sadness that he had before when he was sitting in his courtyard. He smiled slightly and said, "Since the founding of our country, all officials employed must be recommended and reviewed.
, and then after further research, surveying, research, and evaluation, it can be made into two thousand stones and serve as a local to assist the emperor..."
Cui Yan also smiled and listened.
Cui Yan also knew that this conversation was very important.
Logically speaking, when officials in the Han Dynasty were recommended for promotion, they really needed to follow this rule.
But the problem is that someone jumped in line...
The key is that he successfully jumped in line and turned his official position into a "business".
So later Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty also started doing "business".
Probably why Zhang San can go up, Li Si can go up, but I, Wang Laowu, can’t go up?
But it happened that these Zhang San and Li Si from the gentry came to point fingers again, openly and secretly insulting Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty for selling out his official position...
"Haha." Cui Yan smiled perfunctorily, "What you said is absolutely true."
Now, isn’t it all nonsense?
Did Xun Yu want to express that Cui Yan had been promoted out of the ordinary, that he would be loyal to the Han, and that he would go through fire and water for Cao Cao without hesitation?
Sorry, as scholars say, that’s called a story.
Everyone is making up stories, how can they be taken seriously?
And aren’t the ones who break the rules the most now, the Cao family?
But Cui Yan didn't expect that Xun Yu said something that made him hesitate, even a little surprised, and beyond his expectation...
