Chapter 179

Cao Cao returned to the front of the battle and ordered: "XiaHouYuan, send orders to attack!"

"Here it is

XiaHouYuan was ordered to go down.

Cao's soldiers had been ready for a long time. Some archers swept the array to suppress them, and some long spearmen came forward to attack Zhang Xiu's barracks. When Cao's army began to attack, Gan Ning also dispatched troops to fight against it.

The two armies began to fight.

Cao Cao looked at the front of the battlefield, leisurely said: "fengxiao, Zhang Xiu this son, really extraordinary. Now, he is a young tiger. If we wait a while, I'm afraid he will really roar all over the world. "

Guo Jia said: "if the Lord suppresses Zhang Xiu in this battle, he will have no chance."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "I hope so!"

After a pause, Cao Cao continued: "just now, I told Zhang Xiu the news of Cao Chun's victory, intending to use the news to suppress Zhang Xiu's arrogance."

"I didn't expect that he had already arranged the counter measures."

"Zhang Xiu arranged to go to Xudu to publicize our defeat in Luyang county. Such an arrangement is obviously a kind of Machiavellian plan. It is to use the power of the central government to restrain me. "

Cao Cao said with emotion: "Zhang Xiu's strategy is really not simple."

Guo Jia saw a light in his eyes and said, "the LORD said that if the news of the bad war comes back, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Zhang Xiu's move is exquisite."

"But it doesn't have much impact on us now. Because the strategy of despicable duty is to make a quick decision. Even if we pay a big price, we will defeat Zhang Xiu today. "

Guo Jia said: "if Zhang Xiu is solved first, even if there are waves in the rear, it doesn't matter."

Cao Cao said, "what filial piety says is true."

They chatted and looked at the battlefield, with an expectant look on their faces.

At the moment, the soldiers of Cao army, fearless of life and death, braved the rain of arrows, were quickly closing up and rushing to the gate of the camp.

Zhang Xiu is in charge and commands the soldiers to resist.

Archers, catapults, have been quickly into the battlefield, to block Cao's offensive.

Rao is so, Cao Jun is still approaching.

Zhang Xiu saw in her eyes that Cao Cao was determined to take him, so she would attack like crazy.

This war is bound to be fierce.

When Cao Cao's army approached the gate of the camp, Zhang Xiu mobilized a long spear to resist. At the same time, Zhang Xiu also conveyed the order to the catapult soldiers, let the catapult soldiers drop Tribulus terrestris.

The order was given, and the catapults were all changed, and the jars were loaded on the catapults.

There is no seal on the jar. It's full of Tribulus terrestris.

"Shoot!"

Captain in charge, order quickly.

"Bang Dang! Bang

During the operation of the catapults, the pots were thrown out one by one. All of them were thrown in 150 steps. Almost every pot fell on the same line.

It was done on purpose.

One hundred and fifty steps. This is the distance set by Zhang Xiu.

These jars containing Tribulus terrestris were very thin. When they fell to the ground, they were smashed to pieces, even on the heads of Cao's soldiers.

Inside the Tribulus terrestris, Hua La scattered out, scattered on the ground.

Many Cao soldiers were rushing forward, stepping on the Tribulus terrestris with one foot, and they were immediately attacked. As the Tribulus terrestris fell, at the gate of the camp, a lot of Zhang Xiu's soldiers picked up pottery pots and threw them out, but the Tribulus terrestris was still inside.

Countless Tribulus terrestris fell, to a certain extent, delayed Cao's offensive.

Cao Cao soon learned the news,

he gave a cold smile.

In a large-scale war, such a move is actually very petty, because there are too many soldiers attacking. In the end, such a way can not stop the army from attacking.

It's like a stone falling on the surface of the water. When it falls, it sets off a splash. In fact, in an instant, it tends to be calm.

Because there are too many people fighting.

Zhang Xiu is calm and self-contained, his catapult soldiers, after throwing two rounds of Tribulus terrestris, change the throwing weapon again. Although there are still pots on the catapult, each pot mouth is blocked with rotten cloth towel, and all rotten cloth towels have been soaked with fire oil.

With the operation of the catapult, the pots were thrown out.

This is a random shot.

No longer limited to a certain location.

The earthenware pots are falling in 150 steps outside the camp.

As soon as the pot fell to the ground, it broke.

Some of the tung oil spilled on Cao's soldiers, and some of it broke on the ground. But without exception, there is a lot of tung oil on the ground.

For three consecutive rounds, the camp was covered with fire oil.

When Zhang Xiu saw that tung oil had been ejected, she immediately let the archer fire the rocket.Tung oil is flammable and must be ignited by an open fire.

When a burning rocket takes off, crosses an arc in the air, lands on the ground, or hits Cao's soldiers with fire oil, it burns quickly.

"Hoo! Hoo

The fire was burning with smoke.

One by one, fire snakes scurry around, spreading to the surrounding areas, and the outside of the camp gradually turns into a sea of fire.

Cao's soldiers, who were attacking, were blocked.

Cao's soldiers, who were attacked by the fire, did not dare to move forward. Instead, they kept retreating and struggled to run back. Once the fire oil burns, it is difficult to put out, but all the soldiers who are on fire are running around in panic.

Cao Cao looked at the scene and frowned.

There's something strange going on.

Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "according to the normal situation, fengxiao is only suitable for pouring fire oil down the city tower, because it will not affect itself. Zhang Xiu uses fire attack outside the camp. Our soldiers are reduced to firemen. If the soldiers rush forward and enter his camp, the fire will spread and the camp will burn. He can't bear it. "

Guo Jia said: "since Zhang Xiu has made arrangements, she may be on guard."

Cao Cao said: "watch the change quietly."

Immediately, Cao Cao looked at XiaHouYuan and asked him to postpone the attack. At the same time, he asked all the soldiers who had not attacked to withdraw. Although it is easy for a soldier who does not attack to delay, it is quite difficult for a soldier who is caught in a sea of fire.

Because of the obstruction of Tribulus terrestris.

At a distance of 150 steps from the camp, the ground was covered with iron halberds that had been scattered before.

This forms a line of separation.

As soon as they arrived at the place full of Tribulus terrestris, many retreating soldiers were injured and fell to the ground. Wave after wave of soldiers fell, all constantly rolling struggle.

The more so, the more miserable.

The speed of the soldiers' retreat also slowed down, and countless people became burning people.

Seeing this, Cao Cao's cheek twitched slightly. He finally understood that this was the purpose of Zhang Xiu's throwing iron thistle, which was deliberately used to slow down the retreat of his soldiers, so as to spread the fire.

"Zhang Xiu is so cruel and calculating."

Cao Cao was biting his teeth. Almost all of his words came out of his teeth.

His eyes were fixed on the front.

He looked at Zhang Xiu's camp. At the moment, the soldiers who were on fire rushed to the camp. Although the soldiers were stabbed to death by the long gun array and had fallen at the gate of the camp, the fire was spreading and began to go inside the camp.

At this time, Zhang Xiu's camp, soldiers rushed out. These soldiers have a backpack behind them, which quickly sprinkles the sand. As soon as the sand falls on the fire, the fire goes out.

Cao Cao's face froze.

Why didn't he think of it?

Such a simple truth, he did not expect that since Zhang Xiu had made arrangements, she would certainly make defensive measures.

Cao Cao feels liver ache!

Zhang Xiu's defense is too strong.

Countless soldiers under his command rushed forward and didn't even rush in at the gate of the camp. Cao Cao knew that even if he sent Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xia Houdun and others, it would not help.

Under the fire, manpower is hard to do.

Last time, Cao Cao easily broke through Zhang Xiu's camp. However, judging from the current situation, Zhang Xiu's retreat at that time was obviously intentional. He was not serious at all. Otherwise, Zhang Xiu's camp at that time would be difficult for him to break through.

Cao Cao's face was as gloomy as water.

At this time, Cao's army no longer attacked, but Cao's soldiers in the fire circle were still fluttering. There were screams and wails.

They are reduced to burning people and have no way to escape.

This scene is too tragic.

Zhang Xiu commanded the soldiers to resist the approaching fireman, and there was no moving look on her face. As a general on the battlefield, this kind of fighting is very common.

Time goes by little.

Fire from the beginning of the fierce combustion, and gradually began to subside. A small number of Cao soldiers outside the camp have been turned into ashes, but the vast majority of them are still alive. They have already been burned and changed into charred bodies.

Everything, restore silence.

The two armies resumed confrontation again.
