Chapter 535 Zhang Xun: Huh, Cao Ying?It's just a chicken and a dog
Under Cao Cao's order, the catapults and archers all started bombing frantically!
The [-] soldiers on the tower were killed and injured instantly!
Bombing with large catapults is not so fun. If a stone goes down, as long as it is scratched, it will die!
The stone hit the city wall, and the moment it exploded, the gravel could take away a lot of lives.
Some even had their legs cut off because of the explosion of the gravel.
In less than an hour, all the towers of Zhecheng collapsed, and the city walls were even more pitted.
Most of the guards on the city wall were killed or injured, completely lost their morale, and surrendered directly!
"Boys down there! Stop your dicks and don't come up! It's going to happen!"
"We have surrendered! All have surrendered!"
Seeing this, Cao Cao beckoned, ordered the army to enter the city, and successfully took over the remaining three thousand prisoners.
In the past, in battles and sieges, it was all about setting up ladders, rushing carts... rolling carts... arrow tower carts...
Every siege will kill or injure several times the opponent's strength, but with the catapult, it is different, and the melee combat has become a long-distance combat!
Relying on the length of the hand to achieve firepower crushing!
"Go! Wipe and recycle the things you shoot, there will be more big battles later! Don't waste it!"
Cao Cao gave an order to the soldiers to take back their arrows, and then led the army directly into the county government office.
"My lord! What just happened?"
Fazheng looked at Cao Cao curiously, and he clearly felt that Cao Cao's mood became a little anxious just now.
Cao Cao stopped in his tracks, his face gloomy.
"Yuan Shu...has five armies, the first army general Zhang Xun is in the middle, the second army general Qiao Rui is on the left, and the third army general Chen Ji is on the right."
"Lei Bo, the deputy general of the Fourth Route, is on the left, Chen Lan, the deputy general of the Fifth Route, is on the right, and Ji Ling is the support envoy, with a total of 15 troops! They launched an attack on Xiaye County and Xiaopei in Xuzhou!"
"Xia Houyuan, Pan Feng and others have joined forces to resist! Mi Zhu, Chen Deng, and Wang Lang have also led troops to help!"
"However, there is a lot of pressure at the moment! The battle is fierce! In Yuan Shu's first battle after ascension to the throne, he almost spared no force in the attack! Moreover, Xuzhou's troops are not strong enough to resist!"
"That's why Xun You sent a letter asking us to take Chen Guo and Liang Guo quickly, and use one move to encircle Wei and save Zhao! This will force Yuan Shu to retreat and relieve the pressure on Xuzhou!"
Everyone was silent, and they all realized the seriousness of the matter!
Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor and faced enemies on all sides. He definitely wanted to use a victory to mobilize morale.
Therefore, it must be a [-]-point combat power in the fight.
From Xun You's letter, it seems that there are not too many difficulties, but... Xia Houyuan and Xun You and Pan Feng are both veterans in the battlefield.
Even they felt that it was difficult to stop, and everyone in Cao Ying could have imagined how severe the battle was!
After spending an afternoon settling in Zhe County, Cao Cao left Yang Feng and Xu Huang here to wait for the next [-] Baibo soldiers to arrive!
In a war, the [-] army is a powerful force, and sometimes it can play a key role!
Cao Cao himself led an army of [-] from his headquarters and headed north to Ningling in Liang State.
Originally, they planned to do Liu Bei and Shouchun after taking Chen Guo.
But now Xuzhou is in an emergency, and he has to temporarily adjust his plan to go to the rescue.
Xuzhou is a rich and big state, and it can give him a lot of taxes every year!Most importantly...Xuzhou has a lot of aquatic products!
For example... seahorses, sea cucumbers, sea dragons!
All the generals in Cao Ying like it very much, so Xuzhou can't afford to make mistakes!
So Xingye rushed to Ningling and fought all night!
Cao Ying successfully captured Ningling City and approached Suiyang County!
On the other side of Dang County, Yuan Shu, who was personally conquering Xiaopei, also received news that Cao Cao had won two counties in a row.
"Damn it! This Cao Cao is too deceitful! I ordered him to come and surrender, and I would like to give him the position of Sikong, but he didn't want to repay the favor, but sent troops to attack my territory! You can also kill me, Hussar General!"
"Such an ungrateful and wolf-hearted man, which general is willing to lead his troops to conquer?"
Yuan Shu wore a dragon robe, with a jade seal in front of him, glaring at all civil and military officials.
The two to three hundred officials under his command, large and small, all wore uniform official uniforms.
All the generals wear red official uniforms with animal patterns painted on them.
All civil servants wear black official uniforms with bird patterns painted on them!
The combination of civil and military is like a meeting of birds and beasts.
But they were still enjoying it one by one, and everyone proudly puffed out their chests, very happy.
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Xun stepped out, looking at Yuan Shu in high spirits.
"Your Majesty! As a great general, I am the leader of all generals! I am willing to lead my troops to Ningling to wipe out the Cao bandits! To show our country's prestige! Set an example for all colleagues!"
Hearing this, Yuan Shu slapped the table vigorously, stood up abruptly, and his expression was overjoyed!
"Good! You are worthy of being my great general! This kind of momentum can inspire soldiers! Seeing the appearance of the great general, I want to swing my sword to the battlefield to kill the enemy!"
Zhang Xun patted his chest, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he saluted respectfully again.
"Your Majesty! You are the Ninth Five-Year Lord, how can you personally fight the enemy? Just plan the strategy behind the scenes! This kind of dirty work, I will leave it to the minister!"
"Okay! If that's the case, I agree! The general will go to attack the Cao bandits and take back my Zhong clan's territory!"
"I don't know how many troops the general will need? How sure are you? According to the information, the bandit Cao has led an army of [-]! And... there are [-] white wave soldiers rushing here to help!"
"Even Lejiu couldn't hold on for a day, so he lost his head!"
Yuan Shu's face was a little worried. He said in other words, if he was really asked to fight Cao Cao, he would not dare!
The defeat in the battle of Kuangting and the six-hundred-mile pursuit left a deep shadow in his heart, so much so that now when he recalls that battle, he still feels terrified.
Zhang Xun's chest was pounding, and his eyes were even more contemptuous.
"Heh! The group of civil and military generals under Cao Thief's command are nothing more than local chickens and dogs, who put in labels and sell their heads! What do I, Zhang Xun, have to fear?"
"My lord, don't worry, I'm already a first-class powerhouse! It's easy to kill them! Besides, as a general, how can I be as happy as a fool like this?"
"So, I am a general, and Le is just a general of hussars! I am [-]% sure that I will defeat the enemy!"
"Our Zhongguo has enough fine food and a vast territory. How can Cao Cao compare with us? Your Majesty only needs to give you [-] soldiers and horses! You will surely defeat the enemy!"
Hearing Zhang Xun's analysis, Yuan Shu calmed down and heaved a long sigh of relief!
"Okay! If that's the case, then I will..."
Before he finished speaking, Ji Ling from the corner stood up.
"Your Majesty! Wait! I want to say a few words to the General!"
Yuan Shu was interrupted, and his face was slightly unhappy, but he didn't scold him too much.
After all, Ji Ling used to be his favorite and most important general!
Leading troops is also quite satisfactory, which is remarkable, but it's a pity... After being captured by Cao Ying once last time, it became useless!
"can!"
Ji Ling cupped his hands and looked at Zhang Xun.
"General, the last general has something to say, I hope the general will keep it in mind! There are countless strong generals under Cao Ying's command! It is far from as simple as you imagined!"
"Even if I, Ji Ling, choose any one at will, I will not be my opponent! I hope the general will not be inflated, and treat them with caution! You... really can't beat them! Just stick to it!"
"Wait for our side to capture Xuzhou, and then come to support you! Don't go out to fight!"
Hearing this, Zhang Xun was full of dissatisfaction!
Lao Tzu is a great general, you tell me you can't beat any of them?Let your mother's shit go!
The corners of Zhang Xun's mouth were slanted, showing a disdainful and mocking expression, and he looked at Ji Ling lightly.
"General Ji! I thought you were a man, but... before the army set off, you are here to confuse people, destroy your prestige, and boost others' ambition?"
"I, Zhang Xun, am ashamed to be with you! Moreover, I, Zhang Xun, am not you, Ji Ling. It is an indisputable fact that you were captured by Cao Ying back then!"
"Blowing up the enemy and exalting the enemy now, can you erase your original stain? No! Impossible!"
"What you couldn't do in the past, today I, Zhang Xun, will do it! Just see how I can defeat Cao Cao and fight a complete victory! I will use my actions to tell the princes of the whole world that with me, Zhang Xun, Zhongguo cannot be humiliated! "
After the words fell, everyone applauded and cheered for Zhang Xun!
Yuan Shu even stepped on the dragon chair and patted the table heavily with his palm.
"Okay! I have generals to solve problems, so who is the world afraid of?"
"Today! I will be in the court, and I will confer the title of General Zhang Xun, the God of War to protect the country of my Zhongguo! Come! Come and reward!"
Chapter 536 Yang Hong's Great Discovery, Yuan Shu Gets Rich
Yuan Shu was originally a hero, but now Zhang Xun said so boldly, it won his heart!
For this happiness, another bounty of five hundred was given, and a title of God of War to protect the country was also given.
Ji Ling frowned, Yuan Shu was kind to him in the matter of loyalty to the emperor, and he didn't want to see Yuan Shu lose too badly!
So he opened his mouth and said again: "General Zhang, you are really no match! You can't even beat me! But I..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xun turned black and interrupted Ji Ling with a loud drink.
"Shut up! General Ji, one moment is another moment! In the past, I, Zhang Xun, was not as good as you, but...you should look at me with admiration after three days!"
"After becoming a general, do you know how many military books I have read? Do you know how long I have practiced martial arts?"
"Don't look at me the way I did back then. Now... I am the general protecting the country, but what about you? Hehe, if you disturb the morale of the army again, don't blame me for disregarding the friendship of my colleagues and punishing you!"
Zhang Xun looked at Ji Ling with a murderous look, the other party sighed, retreated to the corner, and stood with Yan Xiang without further words.
Yan Xiang looked at him and shook his head.
"Old Ji, stop talking! Now I am the only one in the court who does not dislike you, and I am the only one who believes what you say!"
"Because everyone who fought against Cao Ying, except His Majesty, is dead!"
The two of them have fought against Cao Ying, and they know how powerful Cao Ying is!They were not optimistic about this arrogant Zhang Xun at all.
Ever since he became a general, the other party has been drifting away. He sees people with his nostrils, and walks with steps that his relatives would never recognize!
"Okay! I'll listen to you, I always feel... Your Majesty may not be able to hang around for long if you continue to mess around like this!"
"If... I said that if there is such a day, the Zhong family really can't hold it anymore. My stinky tofu chain store still needs a cashier... Will you come?"
Yan Xiang didn't agree, and shook his head, a little lonely: "Let's talk about it when the time comes! Things haven't reached that point yet!"
Looking at Zhang Xun who was bragging, and Yuan Shu who was listening with gusto.
The two sighed heavily, and turned into statues again, sitting and watching them discuss countermeasures.
"Your Majesty! You just said...the Baibo Army still has [-] soldiers coming to help Cao Bandit?"
Military advisor Yang Hong stood up and saluted Yuan Shu. Ever since Yan Xiang was crossed, he has fallen out of favor. He, the second-in-command civil servant, has successfully become the first-in-command!
Now with Zhang Xun, they are very favored!
Yuan Shu nodded: "That's right! There are 12, plus Cao's [-], it's [-]!"
"Now we only have 15 in Dang County, and [-] in Shouchun! There are [-] in Ku County!"
"It's not easy to deal with both Xuzhou and Yanzhou at the same time!"
Yang Hong stroked his goatee thoughtfully, everyone was quiet and did not disturb his thinking.
A few minutes later, Yang Hongzhi laughed with his hands in his hands.
"Your Majesty! You thought that the Baibo army would be our enemy, but I thought it was our reinforcement instead!"
Hearing this, Yuan Shu stood up in vain and put one foot on the table again, but after seeing the strange eyes of everyone, he coughed lightly and put it down again.
"Ahem! Military division, what do you mean by this? Why do you say they are our reinforcements? This Baibo soldier was called by Liu Xie's chariot general Yang Feng, and Han Xian, the leader of the army, is life and death brothers with him!"
"Based on Yang Feng's kindness in protecting Liu Xie, he should be on the rise in Cao Ying. How can he help us?"
