The blue sky is thousands of miles away, the setting sun is like blood, and the southeast wind is blowing non-stop. The Cao army under the city is worthy of being the elite brought out by the people on the ground based on advanced military methods. They are all skilled in combat. During the rolling offensive, they were divided into three to five percent.
A group of small teams alternately cover each other, and the locusts attack.
With the support of warlocks, the situation is even more critical.
Outside the charred and broken city wall of Pengcheng, companies and camps were like locks, and soldiers were like ants. The red and black lines merged into a long arc, stretching out to both sides of the plain, and surrounding the huge camps to outline a vast battlefield.
Waves of falling rocks, arrows, magic lights, and rain crisscrossed in the air, sliding through different curves and falling towards the enemy's lines. The splash of blood and ephemeral flowers were filled up as soon as they appeared.
Under the banner of Tao Jun, Mi Fang was wearing armor and holding a knife and fighting hard at the gap in the broken city wall. Only the ferocious-looking Qingzhou soldiers were in sight. They opened and closed their mouths without knowing what they were shouting... They all should die.
He had fought so hard that he had forgotten when the battle would begin and when it would end.
Tao Shijun has made contact with Liu Bei, and Qingzhou Governor Tian Kai's 50,000-strong army also rushed to the battlefield two days ago and jointly submitted the first letter of war to Cao Cao.
Similarly, Yuan Shao also sent 30,000 people to help Cao Cao. Regardless of how harmonious the relationship between the two families was, it was purely to contain Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan and his clan became powerful.
Cao Cao responded to the declaration of war, and the war began in the early morning, gradually expanded from the vanguard army's test, and finally almost all the troops were involved.
The 200,000 Liu, Tao, and Tian coalition forces and the 330,000 Cao and Yuan coalition forces clashed on a large scale. Along the wilderness around Pengcheng, and from then on to the Sishui River, the mulberry forests had long been cut down, and the rice fields had been trampled over and over again by the army.
.
Involving 500,000 troops, they took turns to invest in a fierce battle around Cao Yuanfang's eighteen companies. At this moment, a twenty-mile battlefield spread out - an incredible battlefield width in the cold weapon era, even surpassing the pre-Qin and Warring States periods.
A huge national war record.
Between Liu's and Cao's army camps, various small battlefields were formed in the twenty-mile radius battlefield. The magician regiments were distributed in various battle situations, forming the nerve center of the commander-in-chief's army organization, nervously transmitting orders, and both sides continued to adjust and continuously
Calling on the elites of various teams to seek breakthroughs, while trying to preserve their own elites.
Soldiers can have the opportunity to take turns, but the generals of each army do not. They serve as their sharpest minions. At most, they can receive treatment from a magician before going into battle. This is far more intense than many people imagine, especially for generals like Mi Fang who have not yet reached their peak.
It's hardly better than high-level cannon fodder.
The fierce battle continued from morning to dusk. Mi Fang was completely numb. She relied solely on battlefield instincts to kill, dodge, and maneuver. The corpses of the two armies piled up like mountains at the gap in the city wall. It was impossible to tell whether they were Cao soldiers or Tao soldiers. Mi Fang almost almost
He thought he was drowned by the tide of soldiers, and the life-and-death crisis stretched his nerves to the limit, and he could not hear the sounds on the battlefield.
But I don't know how long it took, these enemy soldiers retreated like a tide. Mi Fang chased for two steps, and a Taoist priest pointed his finger at him, and a blast of flames exploded on his body. In a flash of white light, the last Taoist armor
The talisman shattered immediately, and Mi Fang was thrown into the pile of corpses covered in blood. She endured the severe pain and rolled twice before struggling again.
The only two remaining guards pressed down on the general, one called the Taoist priest, and the other cried in his ear: "General, general, you are injured, wake up... Liu Shijun has withdrawn his troops. This is the order to stop the troops...
…”
Mi Fang let out a soft "ah" and relaxed. Only then did she hear a sound like a tide. On the too chaotic battlefield, Jin Duo's voice, which ordered the troops to retreat, was extremely low, but a clear female voice came to her ears, conveying the withdrawal of troops from the Allied Forces Command.
Order.
"That's the voice of little sister Zhen'er..." Mi Fang suddenly realized that the petite and cute girl in her memory was already a real person when we met last night, and she secretly gave him and his brother more than ten life-saving talismans.
This made Mi Fang happy, and her consciousness became clearer: "Liu Shijun is not a short-lived person, and he is very fond of his little sister. As long as nothing happens to her, our Mi family will always have good luck for decades, and we can survive in troubled times."
How much do you expect... It is even more difficult to say which battle will be won or lost, which disciple will live or die..."
Two hundred thousand versus three hundred thousand. The casualties in this battle were probably no less than 50,000. The battle lasted a whole day. Even though there was a snack at noon and there were rounds of fighting, the horses were inevitably tired. The soldiers were exhausted and the generals were exhausted.
Even the magicians don't have much mana left. At dusk, the boiling military spirit of mankind cannot resist the cool night of nature. It is impossible for either side to fight at night.
"Did we lose?" Mi Fang asked, coughing up blood and looking back.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves was loud, and a large flag with Chinese characters came towards Pengcheng. Reflected in the last ray of sunset, a man wearing red armor and a golden crown was talking to a middle-aged man dressed as a governor.
"In addition to your lord, the people who are responding to the call now include Ma Teng, the governor of Xiliang, Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi County, Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang... and Yuan Shao, the shepherd of Yanzhou, ha, Yanzhou shepherd, this letter from Dong Hei is interesting,
Fortunately, Cao Cao could tolerate it and ignore it..."
Of course Mi Fang couldn't hear these words, but people knew them.
Both Liu Shijun and Tian Jishi were still there, so it seemed that they had not lost... As Mi Fang thought about this, she felt her whole body loosen up, unable to stand any longer, and fell down.
The eldest brother will definitely take care of the younger sister and prevent her from declining in favor with Ambassador Liu.
I used to be unfavorable to Liu Bei, thinking that he was not a good match for his younger sister after losing his wife several times and committing crimes against the evil star. Now it seems that he has made a mistake...
Behind the long wind blowing, there are Tao flags on the city wall, Cao flags on the nearby wall, Liu flags and Tian flags in the distance. The shouts of killing gradually subsided, and as the military spirit cooled from the boil, the setting sun
In the last ray of afterglow, the smoke rises, mixed with the scorch of firewood and the aroma of millet, just like the smell that I remembered many years ago.
"We are not defeated. Liu Shijun has successfully captured three Cao camps and laid down a foundation in the southeast of Linpeng City. The strength of the three camps and Pengcheng's horns has been established. We are saved...General? General"
Mi Fang listened with a smile and slowly closed her eyes. The white energy collapsed into a trace of red energy, leaking out from her body bit by bit.
The red dragon in the void opened his eyes slightly. Ye Qing was about to enter the city to visit Tao Qian when he suddenly looked at this side: "Is this... Zifang?"
No reply
Ye Qing immediately jumped off his horse and treated him personally.
Fortunately, Ye Qing happened to catch up - the entire magician group had exhausted all their mana, but the coach never took action, so he had the remaining energy to treat the seriously injured...
In fact, the reason I was delayed at the main camp just now was to treat Huang Zhong's injuries, and to hang on to a group of seriously injured people, waiting for Qianqian to recover her mana and treat them.
After Ye Qing sent a message to summon him, Qianqian also rushed over soon after hearing the news, and was stunned: "Brother Zhong"
The two brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang have different attitudes towards Ye Qing, but they treat Ye Qing well, and even cherish her. Although they know that they are Qianqian, this body is just a body that has been stolen, but the world is so wonderful,
There is indeed a kind of concern that is connected by blood in this body. If the girl can grasp this feeling, she will not deny it, let alone suppress it.
"It's okay, his internal organs have been repaired and he is out of danger." Ye Qing comforted him and stopped, asking his guards to carry him to the wounded barracks on a stretcher, and asked Qianqian to follow him to take care of him.
Tian Kai secretly glanced at Mrs. Xiao Mi, who had heard of the beauty, not daring to look more. He glanced at Mi Fang again, secretly envious that this guy had Mrs. Dinghou as his sister. He was really lucky to have saved his life.
But Tian Kai's eyes were most focused on Ye Qing, and he was shocked. He was only thirty years old.
It was time to wait, and the Lord of the two states rescued Tao Shijun, forming a great good relationship. Fortunately, his boss Gongsun Zan and this man were brothers, so there was no conflict for the moment...
Faintly, the confrontation between the Xuzhou Group is just a microcosm of the broader dispute between the Central Plains and the Northern Territory. Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, and Tao Qian faced off against Cao Cao, Liu Yu, and Yuan Shao, forming an alliance of two major forces from the Central Plains to the Northern Territory.
There was a troublemaker Yuan Shu, who had been skinned by Liu Shijun in one fell swoop, but Sun Jian, the pretended governor of Yuzhou, was watching from across the Huaihe River...
Only a few people can clearly see these hidden situations. I am afraid that when the Hulao League meets, there will be another dispute.
Ye Qing sighed with emotion. Before he could finish thinking about it, the guards sang the promise loudly.
The middle gate was wide open, and hundreds of people came to greet them. Although Tao Qian was sixty years old, it was inconvenient during the war, and he did not dare to wait on the city after the war, so he came out to welcome him.
Mi Zhu was accompanied by Chen Deng, a civil servant. Later, when they saw Ye Qing, they all came up to salute: "I have met Mr. Liu."
When Ye Qing saw the person in the middle, he just took a look and quickly supported him: "How dare you?"
Tao Qian was famous in the county for his peculiar appearance and his bohemian character. When he was fourteen years old, he used cloth as a war flag and rode a bamboo horse to play with the children in the village.
Cangwu Prefect Gan Gong met Tao Qian when he was going out. Seeing Tao Qian's extraordinary appearance, Yu asked him to get in the car to talk to him. He was very happy and married his daughter to Tao Qian. Gan Gong's wife was very angry about this.
But Duke Gan said to his wife: "This child has a strange appearance and will become a great person when he grows up."
Later, Tao Qian became an official in the county. He was promoted to a talented person, paid homage to Shangshu Lang, and served as county magistrate and governor.
Although Xuzhou was in ruins at this time, I could only see a group of green clouds above the people. Green gas is the aura of great nobility. If you don't gather millions, you can't have this appearance. I sighed in my heart.
Tao Qian had met Liu Bei and Tian Kai, and they wrote letters to each other: "Thanks to Liu Shijun for saving me, a mere courtesy is nothing. You can't recommend it, you can't recommend it."
"You are too polite. We are also Han ministers. These are our Han soldiers and we have to save them." After hearing this, Ye Qing added a few words of modest greeting: "This is a natural duty."
As he said this, he took a quick look and found that because of his relationship with Xuzhou, most of the subordinates behind Tao Qian were also subordinates of Liu Bei, or ultimately Cao Cao.
Seeing Liu Shijun's humble resignation and everyone being respectful and approachable, Tao Qian couldn't help but feel a little strange.
But he never regained the spirit of his youth, and soon lost his emotions... He was old, and his two sons, Tao Ying, a pottery merchant, were not able to defend Xuzhou. In troubled times, fortunes and misfortunes were unpredictable, and they spent their lives fighting for the Han Dynasty.
Running around and being in such a precarious situation, even if you think about your children and grandchildren, you have to make some plans.
With this in mind, Tao Qian ordered Chen Deng, the captain of Diannong School, to leave Mi Zhu and come over: "The Cao thieves have not retreated yet. You and the Xuzhou Taoist priests must follow Liu Shijun's arrangements."
Everyone immediately responded: "Yes"
Ye Qing and Mi Zhu took a look, and they both knew...the fruit of Xuzhou is about to mature.
