Chapter 792: Annihilate the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry! 【Ask for monthly ticket】
Xuzhou Donghai County, Changli County.
Zhang He, the captain of Xuzhou, was wearing a brand new steel armor and was standing in front of the monitor, carefully watching the footage from the drone.
The intelligence officer Zhang Kai on the side said:
"General, all the people in Hexiang and Xuexian counties have fled to the direction of Tanxian County, and the people from the surrounding Changlu County have entered the city. Our strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country has been successful. Will we have to fight to the death next?"
Since being appointed as a former military intelligence officer by Zhang Xi, Zhang Kai, a young assassin, not only learned the use of various technological equipment as quickly as possible, but also actively asked the people in the war zone to retreat to avoid being affected by the flames of war.
In terms of caring for the people, this veteran yellow turban thief did have a redeeming aspect, but he also had shortcomings. When he called on the people to evacuate, he did not forget to ask the nearby aristocratic families to stay and resist Cao Cao. If he dared to leave, he would be punished as a deserter.
This kind of hatred towards the aristocratic family made Zhang He dumbfounded.
At this time, Cao Cao's army pressed forward and headed straight from Yanzhou to the junction of the two states.
Zhang He originally planned to establish a defense line in Hexiang, but the county town was dilapidated and even the city walls collapsed in several places, making it impossible to establish a defense line, so he withdrew the people and retreated to Changlu County.
Changlu County is the place where Cao Cao massacred the city in the original work. Every single one of the people in the city was killed by him. All the food, money, and even cloth and clothing in the people's homes were looted by the army.
But this time, with the imperial army here, the massacre of the city is absolutely impossible to happen.
Zhang He looked at the picture on the monitor and said:
"Cao Cao's front army is still ten miles away from Changlu County. He told the cavalry troops to stand by on the hillocks in the west of the city. Once they hear the sound of explosions, they will charge towards Cao A'ao's front army."
If he had to put it aside and face the menacing army, Zhang He would really choose to defend.
But now that we have strong soldiers and horses, as well as various technological equipment and explosives, passive defense is too weak. We have to take advantage of Cao Cao and his friends' new arrival to attack first.
The reason why explosives were used was to awaken Cao Cao's long-lost memories.
Ah Ma, do you still remember Xiahou Dun who was chopped to pieces by Mo Dao and Cao Chun who was stabbed to death by Zhang Liao in the Battle of Xingyang?
Remember the cavalrymen who were frightened by the explosion and were scurrying around?
Do you still remember the ugly way you hugged the horse’s neck and ran away?
Once the fear in Cao Cao's heart is aroused, even if Yuwen Chengdu's army does not take action in this battle, they can still fight Cao Cao and even drive them out of Xuzhou in one fell swoop.
At this time, a thirty-year-old scribe next to him raised his hand and persuaded:
"General Jun Yi, this plan is quite reckless. If the opponent comes prepared or designs it specially, most of our cavalry may be lost, and we will no longer have the ability to fight in the field."
The scribe who spoke was Mi Zhu. In the original work, he was Xuzhou Biejia, but now the governor of Xuzhou is Zhang Xi, and Mi Zhu's status has not been raised that high. When Xuzhou is pacified, talents like Mi Zhu need to go to Chang'an to be gilded before they can be reused.
Zhang He said with a smile:
"Zizhong's words are wrong. Once you see the power of gunpowder, you will know how reliable this plan is... To take a step back, even if the opponent really has a plan and one shot goes down, they will be in chaos. .”
Mi Zhu had never seen gunpowder and could not imagine the scene.
Another scribe next to him had the opposite attitude to Mi Zhu:
"Our cavalry is well-organized and even the horses are armored. Even if the opponent is a trick, there is nothing to fear!"
Zhang He said with a smile:
"Magistrate Wang is a scribe, but he is braver than some generals in Xuzhou. It is really eye-opening."
The county magistrate is Wang Lang. He once studied classics with Yang Biao's father, Yang Ci, and is a famous scholar. Not long ago, Tao Qian recommended him as a maocai and appointed him as the magistrate of Changlu County.
The Han Dynasty had clear regulations on county magistrates. A county with less than 10,000 households was the magistrate, and a county with more than 10,000 households was a magistrate.
The original plan was to serve as county magistrate for one year, and then he would be transferred back to Tan County to serve as the state capital, and then go to Guangling and other places to serve as prefect.
Now that the one-year period has not come, Cao Cao took the lead and attacked. Wang Lang had to defend the city and mobilized the people in the city to reinforce the city wall.
In the original work of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Wang Lang was a soy sauce character, but because he was scolded to death by Zhuge Liang, Wang Lang has since become famous in history and has become a frequent visitor to the ghost and animal area, with various jokes emerging one after another.
Even Sun Facai couldn't forget him and wanted to roll up his sleeves and scold him to see if Wang Lang had any disease such as myocardial infarction.
Well, it was purely for a physical examination, not just to curse.
Zhang He led his army to see Wang Lang here, and he unconsciously recalled Zhuge Liang's words scolding Wang Lang in his mind.
Needless to say, Zhuge Liang's thinking ability and logic are top-notch. Wang Lang presented the facts and reasoned, and cited many examples to prove that the man's strength was about to be exhausted, and continuing to fight would only waste people and money.
Zhuge Liang did not refute this, but followed his words and cursed. The core content is:
"The great man is about to lose his strength, and it's all caused by you, those unfaithful and unfilial people who have been cheating on you."
Wang Lang worked hard to build a spear, but before he could make a move, Zhuge Liang snatched it from his hand and stabbed Wang Lang in the heart with his backhand.
The reason why this scolding battle is exciting is that Zhuge Liang did not fall into the trap of self-evidence, but instead further dug out the source of the man's impending anger.
This is not only a dispute of political ideas, but also a collision of top brains.
However, Wang Lang missed a move and was scolded to death by Zhuge Liang.
Now Wang Lang is only in his thirties, and he is still a good son who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He took out a piece of paper from his arms and said solemnly:
"I am the magistrate of Changlu County. Now that the army is invading, I naturally have to protect and govern the people... I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep last night. I wrote some words to curse Cao Amo. If there is a chance, I would like to ask General Jun Yi to fulfill it. I will write the following Scold him hard!”
Zhang He: "..."
Good guy, Zhuge Liang didn't scold you, but you started scolding Cao Aman.
An employee from the state capital reminded:
"Magistrate Wang is so provocative, aren't you afraid of Cao Aha's revenge?"
Wang Lang pointed to the big knife at the door and said:
"If he dares to come, I will mount my horse with my sword and chop off Cao A'ao's head with my own hands!"
Even though Wang Lang was a scribe and was scolded to death by Zhuge Liang, he was both civil and military. In the original work, he once fought against Taishi Ci and was a fierce opponent.
In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there are several characters who look like literati, but are actually fierce generals.
In addition to Wang Lang, Sima Yi also described a battle with Xiao Guan Yu Wei Yan, and the battle was not close. Wei Yan pretended to be defeated and retreated, but Sima Yi actually raised his sword to pursue him.
How confident does this guy have to be that he dares to chase after a general with a force value of over 90 points?
Soon, Cao Cao's front army got closer, led by Cao Cao's younger brother, Cao Ren, who was known as the Kaleidoscope of Attack.
Mi Zhu, Wang Lang and others came to the tower and prepared to watch the cavalry attack from a distance.
Zhang He quietly left the city and joined the cavalry troops on the nearby hills, intending to surprise Cao Cao's former army.
Just after rejoining the front army, Zhang He's walkie-talkie heard the order conveyed by Zhong Yao:
"General Jun Yi, the Chang'an headquarters requires you to kill a relative of Cao Cao. You choose between the Cao family and the Xiahou family."
Zhang He instantly guessed Chang'an's intentions:
"Are you worried that Cao Aha and I will form a clique for personal gain in the future?"
Zhong Yao did not deny this:
"Even if Cao Cao is allowed to join the imperial court, some of his clan members will have to be eradicated as punishment. If you have any objections, you may not execute this order for the time being, but I cannot guarantee whether Fengxiao will investigate you."< br>
Zhang He smiled silently.
Now that it's over, there's no need to carry Fengxiao out, right?
Think about it, both Dian Wei and Zhang Liao killed Cao Cao's clan members respectively. If he wanted to lead the army independently, he would have to have a blood feud with Cao Cao.
Zhang He accepted this order:
"Before the end of this battle, I will kill a Cao family member."
After ending the call, he picked up the tiger head gun and wiped it again and again. Since getting this tiger head gun made of impact steel, he has never seen blood. Since he is going to charge today, he naturally has to use blood to make a profit!
Soon, Zhang Kai’s report came over the intercom:
"General, they are within ten miles. How about I lead the charge and you stay in the city. How can the commander charge and the deputy guard the house?"
Zhang He said with a smile:
"I haven't fought in a long time, and my hands are itchy... Be prepared in the city. If there is an emergency, handle it in your own way."
The reason why Zhang Kai was kept in the city was because Wang Lang was from a wealthy family and Mi Zhu was powerful. Zhang Kai and these two people naturally had nothing to deal with. If these two people had any ideas, they would definitely not escape Zhang Kai's eyes.
Well, even though he is one of his own, Zhang He's caution has not changed. He doesn't want to fight bloody battles in the front while secretly poking at the city from behind.
At this time, news came from the artillery:
"General, the enemy has entered the artillery attack range, please give instructions!"
Zhang He gave the order without hesitation:
"Fire the cannons! Fireworks and firecrackers are launched simultaneously, try to make as much noise as possible."
At this time, Cao Cao's former army was still marching towards Changlu County with its head down. Cao Ren, the former captain of the army, asked Cao Xiu next to him:
"How is Brother Zilian's health?"
After Cao Chun was killed by Zhang Liao, the leader of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was Cao Xiu, the Thousand Mile Horse of the Cao Family.
Cao Xiu is Cao Hong's subordinate. After Zhang Liao killed Cao Chun last year, he met Cao Hong again. The two fought together. Zhang Liao struck Cao Hong on the back with a knife. If Cao Hong hadn't been wearing two layers of armor, he would have been sent to Zhang Liao on the spot. Gone to hell.
When Cao Ren asked about his father, Cao Xiu sighed:
"My body has completely recovered and is even better than before, but the root of the disease is left behind. I tremble all over when I hear the loud noise... That battle was so tragic that many people have not come out until now."
When Cao Ren heard this, he couldn't help but beat his breastplate:
"What a coward. If I see those people again, I will cut them in two!"
Cao Xiu also followed suit and established FLAG:
"If he can help my uncle get revenge in the future, I will have no regrets even if I die!"
While the two were encouraging each other, a scream came quickly from a distance.
This sound evoked bad memories of Cao Ren and Cao Xiu, and they both shouted at the same time:
The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9书#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it!
"Prepare for war!"
However, it was of no use. When the artillery shells flew over and exploded, the entire front army was immediately thrown into chaos, especially the tiger and leopard cavalry that Cao Cao was proud of. They were running wildly in all directions, without any control at all.
On the city wall, Mi Zhu looked at this scene with a telescope, her hands shaking:
"The power of a single shot is so terrifying?"
Wang Lang was so excited that he held on to the city wall and recited "The Great Wind". He became extremely excited. He had imagined the power of the cannonballs as much as possible, but it was only after seeing the actual battle that he realized that he had underestimated this thing.
Only Zhang Kai thought it was not enough, so he picked up the walkie-talkie and asked:
"Why just one cannonball?"
The response from the artillery came over the intercom:
"General, the shot just now was a calibration test, and the next one will officially start."
As soon as he finished speaking, explosions rang out one after another at the location of Cao Cao's former army ten miles away.
Explosive bombs, fragmentation bombs, incendiary bombs, white phosphorus bombs, steel sand bombs...all kinds of artillery shells hit the position, causing all the horses on the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to run wildly. Many cavalrymen were knocked off their horses and then trampled by the horses behind them. Into meat paste.
The horses are in a panic, and the people are even more confused.
They had never seen such a battle before. The deafening explosion reminded them of rolling thunder, and some veterans even had bad memories.
When they were chasing Dong Zhuo, they were met with rolling thunder from the sky. Now they encountered the imperial army again, and the thunder came in an instant.
What does this mean? It shows that the destiny of the country lies with the imperial court.
The idea that the great Han Dynasty is about to expire, that the Cao family can take over the world, that the Yan Han Dynasty is destroyed and the Cao family rises, this is simply eunuch chatting about beauties - nonsense!
Cao Ren and Cao Xiu desperately organized the cavalry and asked everyone to take up arms and fight.
They managed to collect a group of broken troops and heard thunder again. However, this time it was not the artillery shells coming, but the imperial cavalry led by Zhang He rushing from the distant hillock.
Five thousand black-armored cavalry, wearing black masks, rushed at full speed. The intimidation they unleashed was frightening. When the newly organized troops saw this scene, they immediately fled in all directions.
Even though Cao Ren and Cao Xiu had all their abilities, they were helpless in the face of this situation.
The two also planned to capture Changlu County before Cao Cao arrived, massacre all the people in the city, and let the people of Xuzhou see the consequences of resisting Cao's army.
As a result, the entire army was defeated before they even reached the border of Changlu County.
The two of them didn't have time to think too much, so they quickly turned their horses and gathered up the defeated troops. Otherwise, if they were allowed to run to the rear, they might be able to flee together with the Chinese army.
One defeated soldier can take away ten people, and ten defeated soldiers can take away a hundred people. If such a rout continues, even the immortal soldiers will be unable to do anything.
The two generals turned around, and the rout became even more complete. Everyone fled to the rear desperately, for fear of being trampled to pieces by the sudden black-armored beast.
Zhang He used the walkie-talkie to contact Zhang Kai as he walked:
"Have you found their coach?"
"General, we found them. They are two people. According to the comparison of photos taken by our intelligence department, the one in the red cloak is Cao Ren, and the one in the green cloak is Cao Xiu. They seem to have turned their horses to gather the defeated troops."
Upon hearing that there were two Cao clan members, Zhang He immediately became excited:
"According to the twelve o'clock direction directly in front of me, use the drone to guide me. I want to kill a general in this battle!"
Zhang Kai was so excited by Zhang He's pride:
"General, you are so awesome. I am truly honored to serve under your command... I will personally guide you and ensure that you can kill those two bastards!"
At this time, the drone team inserted into the channel:
"General, we have locked Cao Ren and Cao Xiu. Do you need us to drop gasoline via drone?"
Zhang He refused:
"No, I will personally kill these traitors and traitors!"
After Zhang He finished speaking, he clamped his horse's belly and followed the drone all the way north.
Not long after, he saw Cao Ren in a red cloak and Cao Xiu in a green cloak. They were accompanied by dozens of cavalrymen. Most of these cavalrymen had heads hanging on their horses. Judging from the style of the headbands, they were not the heads of the imperial army. Instead, they are like ordinary people along the way.
Killing good people and taking credit... These four words flashed in Zhang He's mind.
After receiving the order conveyed by Zhong Yao, Zhang He was still a little guilty, but when he saw that Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were blatantly using people's heads to take credit, the guilt in his heart suddenly disappeared.
Kill my burly people, and when Mr. Wang comes that day, I will have to keep your lives as compensation!
At this time, Cao Ren and Cao Xiu had already seen Zhang He, and they tried to get rid of the pursuers by circling, but no matter how they circled, Zhang He followed them like a shadow, and even narrowed the distance during the circling process.
Seeing that he could not get rid of his pursuers, Cao Xiu shouted:
"I'll cut off the queen!"
After saying that, without waiting for Cao Ren to refuse, he turned his horse's head and faced Zhang He.
The cavalry behind him took a look and split into half, and followed Cao Xiu to cut off the rear, buying time for Cao Ren to escape.
Soon, Zhang He and Cao Xiu bumped into each other.
The two of them did not speak to each other, raised their weapons and started to attack. Just as the few tiger and leopard cavalry who were following were about to help, the cavalry behind Zhang He surrounded them.
Zhang He lifted up the visor of his helmet and asked:
"Cao Xiu?"
Cao Xiu nodded:
"That's right!"
After confirming his identity, Zhang He pointed his gun at the head of Hubao on horseback and asked:
"But the heads of the common people?"
Cao Xiu said with an arrogant look:
"They are Yanzhou people, but they tried to take refuge in Tan County. I have ordered them to be executed. Does the general have any objections?"
Zhang He raised his spear and cursed without restraint:
"I fuck your mother!"
After saying that, he directly used Zhou Tong's self-created marksmanship, hitting Cao Xiu with one killing move after another.
After Zhou Tong's life was renewed, he learned the art of spearmanship and passed it on to several apprentices. Yue Fei passed on the art of spearmanship to Lu Bu and others. Lu Bu, in line with the principle of not putting pressure on oneself, became the masters of the Three Kingdoms world. Passed it all over.
Living towards death is not fancy, but every move goes towards the vital point.
Cao Xiu was confused by this turn of events and began to make excuses for himself:
"What does it have to do with you if I kill the people under Duke Cao's rule?"
Zhang He stabbed his thigh with a spear, then thrust it again, and blood suddenly spurted out:
"The whole world is Han, how can you, these rebellious officials, have the dignity to claim justice? Kill my Han people, and I will definitely help them get justice!"
Cao Xiu screamed in pain and was about to fight back when he was stabbed in the shoulder again.
Then his ribs, lower abdomen, left chest... Zhang He regarded him as a scarecrow practicing marksmanship, with holes all over his body.
By the time he finished the entire set of marksmanship, Cao Xiu's blood had already dried up, and he fell heavily from his horse, like a ball of rags, with no life left.
The Cao family's Qianliju died like this.
Zhang He shook off the blood on the gun tip and waved at his cavalry:
"Kill all the tiger and leopard cavalry, leaving no prisoners!"
