After fighting for several days, the turtle shell is about to be broken.
Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he encountered cavalry that was as dark as a dark cloud. These cavalry were all Cao Su's elites. There were countless Qi and blood warriors, and there were also strength warriors everywhere.
With Cao Su as the arrow, the attack power and destructive power are truly amazing.
The army Li Xingxi left here was considered elite, but most of it was infantry and archers.
Now being attacked by cavalry, the military formation was in tatters and countless people fell to the ground amid screams.
On top of the city tower, seeing the chaos of the rebel army, Li Niu and others burst into tears, and their morale was greatly boosted.
"It's the general's way of digging through!"
After Cao Su led his cavalry to penetrate one wave, his cavalry was divided into three teams.
In addition to the team he led himself, Shi Yong and Ma Chao also led a team each, and the three teams went out together to encircle and suppress Li Xingxi's army staying here.
Half an hour later, the army here completely collapsed.
The battlefield in Nuoda was full of escaping rebel soldiers. The three cavalry teams under Cao Su were divided again and turned into more than a dozen cavalry teams, fighting on their own to hunt down the escaping soldiers.
The heads of these traitor soldiers can be exchanged with Cao Su for military merit in the future.
It is also the only certificate for them to be promoted to higher positions.
"kill!
"
The cry of killing resounded throughout the world.
Cao Su galloped his horse and fought from one end of the battlefield to the other.
The soldiers below followed him and continued to charge forward. All the soldiers of Li Army suffered heavy casualties along the way.
"General, they surrendered."
Shi Yong galloped over on horseback. Along the way, there were already many thief soldiers who had thrown away their weapons and squatted there with their heads in their hands.
Cao Su turned a blind eye, and Shi Yong pretended not to stop what he said, showing no intention of stopping.
Shi Yong hit a wall, and Cao Su ignored him and charged with his cavalry, finally reaching the edge of the Mojiang River.
On the edge of the Mojiang River, the soldiers under Li Xingxi's command rolled and crawled up the Mojiang River.
As a result, Cao Su did not give the order to stop, so the archers under his command bent their bows and drew arrows.
The arrows flew high into the sky and fell like rain, piercing the bodies of some soldiers climbing on the ground.
Red blood flowed on the ice, and many bodies pierced by bows and arrows let out painful wails.
The indifferent Cao Su looked at this purgatory-like scene until the bows and arrows of his soldiers could no longer be shot, and there were no soldiers left who could move above the river.
"Let's go back!"
Cao Su then "satisfied" and ordered the gold to withdraw his troops.
In this battle, Cao Su's 8,000 cavalrymen directly penetrated Li Xingxi's 20,000 vanguard troops.
Cao Su's battle loss rate was very low, but the vanguard army under Li Xingxi suffered heavy casualties.
The casualties can even be described as tragic. No one was left alone, and the battlefield was filled with bones.
The reason why Cao Su was ruthless in this battle was to defeat Li Xingxi's main force next.
Now that Li Xingxi is injured, he may not be able to leave the Chinese army easily, and this battle is enough to make Li Xingxi's army's mentality collapse. In addition, the granary is controlled by Cao Su. Cao Su only needs to cross the Mojiang River again, and then defend Jin.
On the main road leading in and out of the city, Li Xingxi's army was defeated without attack.
"Psychological warfare plus physical warfare."
Cao Su thought about it silently. At this time, the guard on Dongping City ran down and hurriedly came to see Cao Su.
"The last general, Li Niu, has met General Pingbei!"
Li Niu looked excited and shouted his name loudly.
Although the name is simple, no one in the crowd laughed, and they were even full of respect for Li Niu.
Cao Su was also surprised, with a gentle smile on his face: "Li Niu, you did a good job."
Li Niu suddenly raised his chest, and he received the general's approval.
The general rarely praises people, but this time, he did not hesitate to praise him.
Li Niu completed the tasks assigned to him brilliantly, even better than he imagined.
In Cao Su's original plan, Dongping City was just an abandoned place, just a piece of fat hanging on Li Xingxi's side.
Unexpectedly, Li Xingxi didn't even eat this piece of fat, but was led by Cao Su all the time.
"General, please enter the city!"
Li Niu invited Cao Su into the city.
Cao Su looked at the battlefield around him and shook his head.
Cao Su kept Shi Yong behind: "Shi Yong, you and Li Niu will clean up the battlefield next. Our injured soldiers are also taking a rest in the city."
Cao Su divided the army into two, and Shi Yong led some soldiers who were tired and suffered some injuries to stay in the city.
Although Dongping City is barren and remote, it is also a large city that is indispensable in the Youdong region. Before the war started, the city had all the necessary infrastructure, including many doctors and pharmacies.
Stay in the city and take a short rest.
Shi Yong immediately took the order and then began to gather the soldiers.
An hour later, Cao Su led the army again to the edge of the Mojiang River.
This time, the army marched directly and openly across the ice of the Mojiang River.
At this time, the Mojiang River was frozen. The soldiers jumped off their horses and led their horses across the Mojiang River together.
Cao Su did not take a detour and went straight to Jincheng.
Above Jincheng, Li Xingxi entered the city lord's mansion to rest because of his injury. Now he is a general under his command, and Ying Fan, a high-ranking warrior, is guarding it.
Ying Fan looked at Cao Su's cavalry, and his heart was in confusion.
"General, Cao Jun is here again!"
"I can see it, no need to remind you."
Every time Cao Jun came to Jincheng, there was a lot of movement, but Cao Su's cavalry came and went like the wind, but they stayed outside and did not attack the city.
The advantage of cavalry lies in field battles, and Cao Su did not bring any siege equipment, so naturally he would not use his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points.
The black cavalry passed through like locusts, leaving behind noisy and chaotic movements in the wilderness.
Many soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but swallow their saliva, feeling terrified in their hearts.
"Don't worry, our army is strong and Cao Su won't come to fight. They will just show off their evil outside."
Ying Fan still spoke the same words and spoke loudly, keeping his voice as steady as possible to soothe the turbulent military morale.
The current situation is worse than before.
In the past, I was worried because of the lack of troops. But now, although there are more troops in the city, the commander-in-chief has been injured, the military advisor has been robbed, and there are even rumors that the granary has been attacked.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There is still a little surplus food in Jincheng, but it is Chidong City where Li Jun has the most food supplies.
But now, no one dares to rush to the aid of Chidong City, because Cao Su's cavalry is wandering in the wild.
He was obviously waiting for the people in the city to leave.
Later, rumors spread in Jincheng that all the more than 20,000 pioneer troops who had been left behind were dead, and few could survive the iron heel of the Pingbei Army.
This kind of news tone further aggravated the soldiers' worries, and no one was willing to leave the city.
"Resolutely not give the Pingbei Army a chance to fight in the field."
This is the unanimous thought of the officers and men in Jincheng today.
At the same time, as Cao Su's troops surrounded Jincheng, a wave of turmoil began to rise inside Jincheng.
--------------------------
"what will you do?"
South of Jincheng, on a high slope.
At night, the Pingbei Army began to set up camp.
The camp is relatively far away from Jincheng, and the white tents decorate the wild scenery.
Cao Su arranged for some sharp-eyed people to be on duty at night, and they would not carelessly stare at the city gates.
He himself stood on a high slope and looked at Jincheng in the distance.
Jincheng in the middle of the night is like a creeping beast, huge and quiet.
Weng Xiao couldn't figure out Cao Su's movements: "Li Xingxi is injured, why don't you seize this opportunity?"
Hearing this, Cao Su smiled calmly: "Li Xingxi's martial arts is like this. Although he is a second-grade martial artist, he is not as good as me. If I can hurt him once, I can hurt him a second time."
Cao Su's words were full of confidence in his martial arts.
Weng Xiao believed this. After all, Cao Su directly injured Li Xingxi in a one-on-one duel with Li Xingxi. Thinking that Cao Su was just over twenty years old, he couldn't help but sigh at Cao Su's talent in martial arts.
.
"If Li Xingxi is interested, he should find a way to find someone to contact me. Maybe I can let them go."
"Although he still has 100,000 troops, these soldiers under his command are not fuel-efficient lamps. The defeats in the past few days have made them feel that there is no benefit in following Li Xingxi. This is the tragedy of the early peasant army. Shunfengzhan
It’s okay, but it’s hard to come back against the headwind.”
Weng Xiao also didn't understand some of what Cao Su said.
But one can feel Cao Su's control over the situation.
Ever since Cao Su wounded Li Xingxi and captured him that day, all battlefield trends have gone according to Cao Su's rhythm, and Li Xingxi has been manipulated at his fingertips.
We failed to win again and again, and failed to calculate again and again. The only strategist became someone else's, and this battle was impossible to fight.
Weng Xiao shook his head and felt sad for Li Xingxi.
"So the general is planning to surround but not fight, forcing Li Xingxi to surrender?" Weng Xiao looked into the distance silently. On the Jincheng in the distance, there was a little light of fire. The soldiers on the four walls were guarding tightly, not daring to relax in the slightest.
.
Cao Su suddenly stood up: "No, this is too slow."
"too slow?"
Weng Xiao was confused, didn't people like Cao Su pursue maximum victory?
Cao Su said calmly: "If I were to wait for Li Xingxi to surrender, then I would at least have to wait for him to recover from his injury, but that will only be many days later. The temperature has dropped sharply, and it may snow heavily again in a few days."
"With heavy snow, this place will be more volatile and turbulent, and the effectiveness of the siege may also be reduced."
Weng Xiao nodded. What Cao Su said was true. If Li Xingxi really made up his mind to defend Jincheng, then with Li Xingxi's military strength and Jincheng's supplies, there would be no problem for Li Xingxi to defend Jincheng for two or three months.
That's why Cao Su said it was too slow. In two or three months, spring would already be here.
In the spring of next year, Cao Su may have to fight against the Youbei League. How can he waste all his time here?
"So my lord, are you ready?"
Weng Xiao couldn't figure out how Cao Su could attack Jincheng.
Cao Su smiled and said nothing, just looking at Jincheng quietly.
Seeing that Cao Su didn't say anything, Weng Xiao had no choice but to secretly wonder.
Two hours later, several piercing sounds suddenly came from the sky.
Cao Su, who had been waiting quietly on the high slope, suddenly opened his eyes.
"coming!"
As Cao Su finished speaking, three figures suddenly landed from the sky.
These are three generals wearing black armor. One of them is tall and tall, but he is not inferior to Cao Su.
The other two are slightly younger. The one on the left is carrying a long bow, and the one on the right is holding a giant axe.
The three people fell from the sky and landed not far in front of Cao Su.
"General Pingbei!"
The three of them laughed loudly, and the leader spoke loudly, appearing to be very familiar with Cao Su.
Cao Su also smiled, and under Weng Xiao's surprised eyes, he stepped forward to talk to the three Xuanjia generals.
Three top-grade warriors in the realm of strength?
Weng Xiao watched silently, guessing the origins of these three people.
When the three Xuanjia generals saw Weng Xiao next to Cao Su, they couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity. The Xuanjia general in the middle asked: "Who is this?"
Cao Su protected Weng Xiao behind him and introduced him with a smile: "This is my military advisor general Weng Xiao."
"Mr. Weng, let me introduce these three generals to you."
Cao Su also made no secret. The names of the three Xuanjia generals were Wang Qing, Du Ning and Heng Xuesong.
Wang Qing is the leading Xuanjia general, and he is also a powerful man with second-level martial arts strength. He is one of the many high-level generals under General Yang Ming, while Du Ning and Heng Xuesong are third-level strength realm, and their combat power is not as good as Wang Ning's.
, but Du Ning was born with supernatural power and was good at wielding a mountain-breaking ax, which was also known as "the bravery that ten thousand people cannot match".
The three of them are generals that Cao Su knew when he was in the capital of the gods.
In order to deal with the Youbei League this time, Cao Su "borrowed" some helpers from General Yang Ming.
Although these three brothers have great martial arts skills, they are not considered high-ranking generals in the city of God. In the forbidden army of the city of God, they only hold the position of general of a thousand men.
Nowadays, Cao Su is fighting the rebellion in the north and has a large army in his hands. Although he is far away from the central court, Cao Su is still very concerned about Cao Su in the court.
The general also had everything Cao Su asked for. Cao Su said that the high-level combat power was insufficient and asked for support. The general did not say anything and called three Xuanjia generals.
After these three high-grade Xuanjia generals arrived, Cao Su was greatly reassured.
On the side, Weng Xiao was already dumbfounded. He thought Cao Su had any good plans, but did he just resort to force?
"Mr. Weng, Li Xingxi is your old master. You don't want to participate in tonight's action. You stay in the camp and guard it."
Cao Su invited helpers from the court, and Li Xingxi could also ask for help from the Wanping Sect. Unfortunately, the power of the Wanping Sect is no longer as strong as before. In the Battle of Lushan, the Wanping Sect lost its morale, and now it can only retreat to a few southern states.
It may be destroyed at any time.
"Are you going to do it tonight?"
The three Xuanjia generals looked at Cao Su, and Cao Su nodded: "The nights are long and there are many dreams. That Li Xingxi is hiding in the city. Now he is injured. He thought I would slowly wear him down. He may not have expected that I would take action today."
"And he didn't know how many of them were coming."
Wang Qing smiled and said: "General Pingbei, the general ordered the three of us to obey your command. Just do as you say."
"Brother Heng is a master of archery. After entering the city, you only need to guard the main road outside the city lord's palace. Brother Du is born with supernatural power and can directly break through Li Thief's door from the front. The louder the movement, the better."
"I guess Li Xingxi doesn't have many high-level experts. Brother Wang and I waited for Li Xingxi to come out of the room and killed him directly and took him away."
Cao Su announced a beheading plan. Although he did not plan to kill Li Xingxi, he was prepared to bring down Li Xingxi's command system in a battle.
Originally, the most troublesome part was to find the location of the City Lord's Mansion, but Cao Su had already been there before, which saved time. Moreover, the cities in this era were all similar. The City Lord's Mansion occupied a relatively large area and was generally located in the center of the city.
.
After Cao Su finished speaking, he took the three Xuanjia generals and flew out.
The four people took advantage of the moonlight and flew directly through the sky, like silent birds, suspended in the sky above Jincheng.
Cao Su glanced at him, and the three of them immediately set off to ambush him, while he continued to float high in the sky.
Not long after, a ripple in the sky twisted, and a graceful white figure appeared beside him.
"Xuanji, what do you think of Weng Xiao?"
The person who came was none other than Ouyang Xuanji.
In the past few days, Ouyang Xuanji had arranged the upside-down Five Elements formation used by Cao Su to capture Weng Xiao, and she had been secretly observing this counselor who was now loyal to Cao Su.
"I haven't seen any problems for the time being, but he is from Wanping Cult. Do you really dare to use him?"
"Why don't you dare?"
Cao Su asked back: "If I don't even have this tolerance for others, how can I survive in this world where evil spirits rule?"
