After a long period of persistence, the Cao-Tao coalition finally persisted until the Thunderbolt chariots at the rear were loaded. However, only those involved knew how difficult and dangerous this process was.
Huge fireballs fell from the sky, flashing red light across the entire sky, and then you saw these hot flints showing huge arcs, one by one like footballs shooting in a curve, fiercely hitting Yuan Jun among the crowd outside the village.
Smashed it down.
"Pull the string and fire off the cannon! Beat hard and don't stop for a moment." The pottery merchant ordered the messenger left by Cao Ren.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The sky was filled with flints, mixed with the blazing hot wind, and mixed with dust, which roared towards the enemy's formation. Under the black night sky, sparks and stones scattered on the battlefield outside the village. Countless Yuan Jun soldiers were killed.
The situation suddenly turned into chaos.
The number of Yuan's soldiers was too great, and most of them were now concentrated in front of the camp gate. All the Yuan's soldiers were concentrated at the entrance and exit outside the village without any dispersion or gaps.
This resulted in a large-scale concentration of people, crowded and dense crowds, and a frenzied robbery scene similar to a supermarket selling goods for free.
In this way, the Thunderbolt Car can be thrown accurately, and the soldier who pulls the rope to fire the cannon can kill five, seven or eight soldiers with his eyes closed. It is like shooting a game console, speed is more important than accuracy.
Countless flints bombarded Yuan Jun's formation, setting fire and splashing everywhere. Even if they were not hit, many people were injured all over by the flints and fell to the ground, crying and wailing desperately. The sound was loud in the sky.
It's so clear that it makes people feel extremely sad when they hear it.
Gao Lan commanded the front army and watched the countless flints falling towards his own camp. He was so horrified that he could not help but tremble all over!
Even though he has the title of General of Hebei, he is still made of flesh and blood. How could he not be frightened when he saw such a shocking power?
Highly aware of the danger, he had no choice but to order his men to stabilize the situation while personally reporting to General Qu Yi on horseback.
When Qu Yi saw Gao Lan coming back, his face darkened and he said, "If you are not in the front line to supervise the troops, why did you come back?"
Gao Lan raised his hand to Qu Yi and said anxiously: "General Qu, we can't fight hard like this! Our soldiers are guarded by the enemy at the gate of the camp and can't rush in! The flying stones from the enemy's rear camp are all over the sky, like a
Thunder is too powerful. If this continues, the casualties will be too great, and the soldiers will not have the morale to fight hard."
Qu Yi stared at him coldly and said: "How can there be no casualties in the battle between the two armies? It's just flying rocks, how can it be so bad? If you persist for a while, you will naturally have no follow-up power."
Gao Lan also knew that Qu Yi was usually arrogant, had a bad temper, and was stubborn, so many people disliked him. However, during the fierce battle season, it was not a good time for him to show off his awesomeness! Those who had been lost earlier were all soldiers from Hebei.
, more soldiers are not so harmful, they are simply a waste of money.
"Although General Qu's words are reasonable, the flying rocks are so powerful and dense that the soldiers are afraid from the bottom of their hearts." Gao Lan said with a helpless look on his face: "Even the veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time
Even if you die, you are afraid that your brain will burst and die! No matter how hard your head is, it cannot hit a rock."
There is nothing wrong with what Gao Lan said. When fighting with others, you can rely on bravery and skills to let the enemy die and keep yourself alive. But if you touch a person's head with a stone, there will definitely be no return. The reason why morale is
Low because there is no hope in facing this thing.
This is a truth that everyone understands.
Qu Yi could not take the lives of ordinary soldiers as his fate, but those soldiers themselves could not.
Unless he, like Cao Ren, goes to the front line in person and shares the hardships with ordinary soldiers.
But he just didn't do that.
Qu Yi took a deep look at Gao Lan and said slowly: "General Gao, the most important thing for a general is to obey military orders. Ask what you should ask, and don't ask what you shouldn't! Just obey!
"
Gao Lan gritted his teeth angrily.
"The general's move is putting the lives of thousands of soldiers at risk!"
"Presumptuous!" Qu Yi's eyes widened angrily and he roared: "Gao Lan, you dare to speak nonsense here, disrupt the morale of our army and destroy our morale. Believe it or not, I will kill you on the spot!"
Gao Lan chuckled and said: "Morale? If morale is gone long ago, what else can be ruined? Qu Yi, I really misjudged you. It turns out that you are just a villain who risked the lives of thousands of soldiers for your own personal gain! Want to
Just kill! No need to talk too much! A certain family is willing to die together with thousands of soldiers, and will never join the company of incompetent people like you who don't understand military skills!"
Qu Yi has always had a high self-esteem, and there are few people in the world he can respect. Now that Gao Lan is scolding him for being incompetent, how can Qu Yi endure it? He even has the intention of raping Gao Lan first and then killing him.
.
He pulled out his sword with a clang, tapped Gao Lan's throat and said, "Gao Lan! Common man! Are you a general who really doesn't dare to kill you?"
Gao Lan just looked at him and sneered. His expression was very irritating and his meaning was very clear... Come if you have the ability.
Lu Kuang, who was next to Qu Yi, saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Qu Yi's wrist that was about to stab him, and whispered: "General Qu can't act like this. Gao Lan is a famous general in Hebei, and he is also a general.
You must not kill someone you value indiscriminately! My subordinates are willing to go to the front line for Gao Lan to urge the three armies to attack Guandu Tuzhai! It would be unfavorable for the three armies to kill the general in front of the line. The matter of the two generals will be done after the war here is understood.
Return to the commander's tent and ask the general to make a decision! How about that?"
"Hmph!" Qu Yi snorted heavily, then put away his sword and said to Lu Kuang: "I will leave it to you to attack the stronghold. Remember not to neglect or retreat. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed! No mercy will be taken lightly.
"
"promise!"
Lu Kuang immediately left on horseback. When passing by Gao Lan, he winked at him to signal him to calm down.
Gao Lan took a deep breath, hummed, and stopped looking at Qu Yi. Liang Zi was already married. However, everyone was not surprised by this. Qu Yi was usually such a person and thought very highly of himself.
He offends everyone everywhere, let alone Gao Lan, sometimes even Yuan Shao doesn't take him seriously.
…
After Lu Kuang met with the generals of the Yuan army in the front to take over the overall situation, the situation on the Guandu battlefield changed again. The troops in the front of the Yuan army mustered up their courage and launched another fierce attack on the Tuzhai.
It doesn't fall, but it keeps hitting again.
The catapults from Cao Tao's rear camp were roaring towards Yuan Jun's formation, desperately pulling strings to release stones. Coupled with the bravery of the soldiers in the front camp, including the side assistance of the Jinling Company Crossbow Army, although they caused huge casualties to Yuan Jun,
But it just couldn't stop their momentum to take over the Guandu camp.
"There seems to be something wrong." The pottery merchant frowned.
Xun Yu and Guo Jia also looked at each other, with some thoughts in their eyes.
Tao Shang continued word by word: "According to the report of the scout just now, the enemy general who came to attack the stronghold was Qu Yi. I had cooperated with this man when I was in Hebei. Although he was arrogant and arrogant, his eyesight
A little above the top, but he does have real abilities!"
Guo Jia also put away his usual carefree smile and put on a pensive look: "Although the current war is fierce, anyone with a discerning eye can see it at a glance. If you want to conquer our Guandu Dazhai tonight, with the strength of our army,
Although the defense and weapons are hard work, they are definitely defensive. We can definitely protect Guandu Dazhai tonight. If we continue to attack, it will only be a loss of troops. If it is true as the Taifu said, Qu Yi is
The general in Yuan's army is very capable, how could he not see the situation in this army?"
Xun Yu continued: "If Qu Yi sees that Guandu Dazhai is difficult to conquer tonight, but still desperately adds troops to attack, and wastes his troops without giving us a chance to breathe, then he may have only one purpose.
…”
Zhuge Liang swung his white feather fan and suddenly made a conclusion: "This is a cover-up plan!"
Guo Jia said slowly: "Yuan Shao used Wuchao's food and grass as bait to lure some of Cao Sikong's troops to rob the camp, ambush them, and then sent a large army to attack our main stronghold of Guandu. If both groups of troops end up
If it’s not satisfactory, then what else needs him to cover up?”
Xun Yu was the first to react, and his face suddenly turned pale.
