It's not that Cao Cao didn't want to save his two favorite generals Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, but a little clarity and reason in his heart made Cao Cao hesitate and didn't order the withdrawal in time!
There is no way. There is a dense and steady stream of enemy troops in the front, and a dense and ready-to-attack army in the rear. There is not much room to move. If you rashly order the withdrawal, you will have to abandon the two heavy armors that have been built with a lot of money and effort.
The legion will also cause more Wei troops to die in battle, and it is more likely to cause chaos or even collapse of the army. The consequences will be serious, and it will be difficult to atone for one's sins even if they die!
By the time Cao Cao hesitated and wanted to actually order the two generals to evacuate, it was already too late!
Although Cao Cao and others were mentally prepared for heavy casualties before going into the battle, they never expected that the battle would be so fast, tragic and cruel!
With just such a moment of hesitation, the "Yuanmin Army" composed of ordinary people swallowed up the two heavy armored legions like a swarm of locusts!
Of course, I have to admit...
If we look at the overall situation, the sacrifices of the two heavily armored legions and their generals are of great significance.
Because the two heavy armored corps only had 30,000 units each, and the total number was 60,000. Although they were completely devoured, they also directly or indirectly caused an estimated 5 to 6 million casualties of the "Yuan Min Army". The casualty ratio was as high as one to ten. This
Terrifying proportions can hardly be considered a success!
Cao Cao's anger and sorrow were mainly related to his emotional closeness and attention to issues!
The most important thing is that Cao Cao, the Xiahou brothers and others finally knew why even the Imperial Guards of Dali and the elites of various countries were repulsed and had to ask for help!
Where is this war?!
It is simply a flesh-and-blood mill. Facing the human sea tactics, no matter how elite the soldiers are, the legion will not work. The battlefield, battle conditions, terrain, etc. in front of us cannot use magical strategies. We can only increase the number and exhaust the opponent's manpower!
Of course, no one is immortal. If there is a war, there will be casualties. The larger the scale of the war, the greater the casualties!
"kill!"
"Hold it! Hold it!"
“Kill one to get enough money, kill two to earn one!
kill!"
The battle situation did not give Cao Cao much time to grieve. After devouring the two heavy armored legions, the "Yuanmin Army" did not stop charging, and continued to charge like a madman as if he was dead!
Without the two heavy armored corps at the front, the casualty ratio dropped significantly, and the Wei army's casualties suddenly soared...
Mountains of corpses and seas of blood fill the world with blood!
At this time, the Wei army, let alone advancing, was slowly swallowed up by the dense and seemingly endless enemy troops, as if they were slowly retreating. Both the enemy and us suffered thousands of casualties every moment!
"My emperor! We still have to be on top with elites, otherwise..."
Cao Cao was jealous and his face was heavy. The generals and staff around him could not wait any longer. Xiahou Dun couldn't help but remind him!
"My Emperor! Can our army still be able to evacuate? Otherwise...it would be best to kill and injure the enemy troops as much as possible and complete the military orders!"
Guo Jia, Duke of Qi who was close to Cao Cao and was transferred to his side to assist, sighed secretly and immediately reminded him!
It is not difficult for Guo Jia to guess Cao Cao's thoughts. However, Guo Jia really has no resentment, anger or other thoughts.
Unless the army withdraws and stops fighting, the enemy army will be there. If it is not the Wei army, it must be the Shu army, the Wu army or the army of other factions. Everyone is leaving the army, so someone has to fight. Soldiers are destined to fight, and there is really nothing to complain or blame!
To put it bluntly, if Cao Cao had gone all out from the beginning, casualties would have been inevitable, but the two heavy armored legions and the second general might not have been destroyed or fallen, at least they would have been rescued in time!
"Fight! Attack with the whole army!"
"Heroes in troubled times, anyone who opposes me will be killed!"
The price of hesitation has been paid, and Cao Cao is not an indecisive person, so he gave the decisive order this time.
An emperor holding a sword appears in his dharma form, commanding the battlefield and wielding his sword to overwhelm the enemy.
This is Cao Cao's genius talent... The hero, the effect is somewhat similar to the "Genius" of the Lord of the Yuan Dynasty, it is a weakened version!
The main reason is that Cao Cao's rank, status, cultivation realm and other aspects are far inferior to Temujin, especially his military realm. Otherwise, the "hero" talent would really not be much worse than the "genius" talent!
Cao Cao himself was not the ultimate famous general, and the generals of the Wei army were far away from the ultimate level. Naturally, he could not forcibly upgrade many elite legions to the ultimate legion. However, it also greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Wei army.
Especially for many elite legions, the promotion effect is the most obvious. Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Thunder Cavalry, Flame Iron Cavalry, Jingjia Iron Cavalry, Elite Qingzhou Soldiers, etc. have all been upgraded to high-level or top-level legions, and their combat power has soared!
"kill!"
"Winter, winter, winter..."
Cao Cao broke out, the war drums beat loudly, the whole Wei army attacked, and the fighting power exploded accordingly!
The Wei army, which was originally at a disadvantage, slowly turned the tide of the battle and began to push back against the "Yuan Min army".
The most important thing was the casualties on both sides, which soared as the intensity of the battle intensified. There were tens of thousands of casualties at all times, but overall the Wei army advanced slowly and clearly had the upper hand.
"Huh?!"
The outbreak of the Wei army immediately attracted the attention of countless people on both sides of the enemy and us, especially the "hero" Faxiang who stood among the army.
The Heroic Dharma Aspect belongs to an individual, while Temujin controls the legions to unite the battle formations, and with the blessing of national luck, the power of the two is very different. However, the effects are obviously similar, but the essence is actually the same!
What is more obvious is that the vanguards of the various Yuan-destroying coalition forces were basically resisting the continuous and crazy charge of the "Yuan Min Army". They gritted their teeth and held on but were still slowly forced back. Only the Wei army not only did not retreat slowly,
Instead, it advances slowly, which makes it look different and outstanding!
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
The sound of wolves roared, and a new force broke out of the eighth layer of the city protective shield, pointing directly at the Wei army.
The most conspicuous are a dozen elite legions, headed by the Tatar sisters, two of the nine queens, Emperor Zhongding Bolu, the son of the Mu Emperor, and Guangping Emperor Boluantai, the son of the Jin Emperor, followed by the corresponding factions.
The famous general, the chief general!
It is worth mentioning that the Tatar sisters... Empress Ye Sui and Empress Yesu Gan were both among the nine empresses of the Yuan Dynasty. It can be imagined that they were powerful and powerful.
According to rumors, Temujin, the leader of the Yuan Dynasty, had more than 40 empresses and nearly 500 imperial concubines. It can be imagined that the harem was huge. Basically, during the Yuan army's southern and northern wars, they captured or captured from various tribes and countries.
Come with coercion and inducement.
With such a huge harem, coming from various tribes and countries, it is natural that there are many forces and intricate connections. Therefore, Temujin divided it into four Orudos, which are the four major palaces (meaning the same faction). The first one in each palace is
The leader of the palace was officially canonized as the empress, known as the four empresses, namely Bortie, Hulan, Yesui and Yesuqian. Among them, Yesui and Yesuqian were both from the Tataer tribe.
They are sisters, and they also quickly gave way to their elder sister, willing to be the fourth and last one.
However, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. In addition, the Yuan army continued to fight, and the harem continued to expand.
As time went by, except for Bortie's unshakable position as the first empress, the harem changed a lot.
So far, the huge harem has become five palaces and nine emperors and queens.
