Chapter 714

The space on the head of the city is the time when the hero uses his martial arts. Tai Shici, a powerful general who can ride as a thousand, is able to show his skill. His spears and halberds move in and out of the city, killing Cao soldiers who climb the city into a river of blood.

Cao Cao noticed Tai Shici who was brave and invincible. He could not help asking Cheng Yu, "Zhongde, who is the Jiangdong army with a spear and a halberd at the head of the city?"

Cheng Yu, who had collected the data of Jiangdong army in advance, said in no hurry: "prime minister, this is Tai Shici, a general of Jiangdong army. He was from Donglai in Beihai. In his early years, he followed Kong Rong, and later became a general by Liu Yao. He fought hard with sun CE and was convinced by him. He was willing to serve sun CE ever since."

"Donglai people from Beihai?"

Cao Cao's eyes brightened: "can his family still stay in the North Sea?"

Now both Qingxu and Qingzhou are under the rule of Cao Cao, and Beihai county belongs to Qingzhou. If Tai Shici's family were still in Beihai, they might be able to do something about it.

Cheng Yu shook his head: "Tai Shici was filial to his mother. After he went to sun CE, he took his mother from Qingzhou to Jiangdong."

"It's a pity." Cao Cao shook his head regretfully.

In this short half an hour, the corpses of Cao army had been piled up under the city head, and some Jiangdong soldiers' bodies were mixed with Cao soldiers' corpses. However, the Cao soldiers who boarded the city first fought with Jiangdong soldiers. As a result, one fell down from the city head and both died. However, there was no sadness in the love story, only the blood.

In the bricks and stones above the city head and the soil outside the city, the arrows of Cao and sun's armies are full of them. The intensity of the arrows alone can show the severity of the war.

Cao Cao was staring at the dead and wounded sergeant Cao and could not help frowning.

"It seems that Jiangdong soldiers are quite resilient. It seems that Shu county will not be able to attack for a while. But it's a pity. If we can keep pace with the second and attack Jiangdong from north to south, wouldn't it be so fast? " Cao Cao sighed.

Cheng Yu said in a low voice: "prime minister, it is enough for our army to attract the main force of Jiangdong army led by Zhou Yu here and create opportunities for the army of Xia Hou Dian."

"Well, there are a lot of casualties in the siege, so it's better not to attack."

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "no wonder Sun Tzu said that it is the best policy to bend people's troops without fighting, and the battle of attacking the city is indeed the worst strategy."

In this short half an hour, more than 1000 Cao troops were killed and wounded. If Cao's army attacked at all costs, the lives of these 20000 soldiers would be filled into Shuxian city.

"Give orders, draw up!"

Cao Cao ordered, the army immediately sounded the sound of Ming Jin.

Dangdang!

Hearing the sound of Ming Jin, Cao Chun and Le Jin, who were respectively in charge of the war, looked puzzled, but had to act according to the order. After all, if they violated the general order of Cao Cao, the consequences would be very serious.

However, lejin and Cao Chun had no choice but to withdraw.

"Withdraw!"

Cao Bing, who was fighting fiercely on the top of the city, was killing happily. Although he was puzzled by the sound of Mingjin, he followed his orders. Each of them stepped on the ladder and retreated under the cover of each other.

The Cao troops who attacked the head of the city retreated like the tide. For a moment, only the body of Cao army remained on the top of the city. Back down the ladder car, Cao Jun escorted the ladder car to turn around and return to the array.

"Cao's army has retreated!"

"Our army has defeated Cao's army!"

Seeing the slow retreat of the Cao army under the city, thousands of Jiangdong army all cheered and yelled, and flaunted at the Cao army under the city. A bold Jiangdong soldier even opened his belt, exposed the birds and peed under the city.

"Cowardly Cao Bing, drink your grandfather's urine."

Jiangdong soldiers all burst into laughter when they saw this, while Cao Bing was furious and asked for battle one after another.

"Damn it, how dare these Jiangdong rats despise our army?"

"General, attack again. It's better to die than to be humiliated."

The irascible Cao Xiu was not angry. He pleaded to lejin and said, "yuexiaowei, Cao is willing to personally supervise the army and attack Shu county."

Lejin took a look at him and said seriously, "Wenlie, I would like to go back to attack the city. I'm ashamed before snow. But military orders are like mountains. Since Prime Minister Cao has issued military orders, we just have to comply with them. "

After that, lejin didn't pay attention to him any more. Cao Xiu snorted angrily and drove his horse to follow him.

Looking at Cao's retreat, Jiang Dongjun's guards in the city naturally yelled at each other. Jiang Dongjun's face was also smiling. Only Zhou Yu's face was cold and his brow was tight. It seemed that he was thinking about something.

Chen lie wiped the sweat and blood on his forehead. He met him with a smile and said to Zhou Yu, "Dudu, I didn't expect that the world-famous Cao army was just like this. He retreated after less than half an hour's attack."

However, he suddenly found that Zhou Yu still looked as usual. He could not help but wonder, "don't Dadu feel happy when Cao's army retreats?"

"Is there a false scholar under a great reputation?" Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Zi lie, don't you think Cao Jun is a bit of a snake?"

"The head of the tiger, the tail of the snake?" Chen Wu scratched his scalp, a little understanding: "it seems like this... Cao's army in this half hour, the offensive can be described as extremely fierce, but inexplicably withdrew.""Try it out!" Zhou Yu suddenly said.

"What?"

"Trial, this is a trial of Cao's army."

Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand: "Cao's army still has a lot of strength. It's just that Cao Cao doesn't want to fight with our army to the end. He just wants to test the combat effectiveness of our army. So he stormed for a while. After finding out the real situation of our army, he withdrew."

Chen Wu did not understand: "what is the purpose of Cao Cao? It's just to trap our army. "

"It's possible."

Zhou Yu said slowly: "Cao Cao is a resourceful man who is good at using tactics to deal with the enemy, such as breaking the Yellow turban and attacking Xuzhou. If it is not necessary, he will never consume his troops. He must have other plans."

Chen Wu thought for a while. He felt that his head was like a thousand needles. He felt a dull pain. He quickly shook his head.

"I can't think of it. The governor is very clever. Maybe he can. However, no matter how Cao Jun is, we still have plenty of food and fodder, and that's what he consumes. "

At the beginning, Li Shu raised his troops to rebel. He had long estimated that the Jiangdong army might besiege Shuxian county. Therefore, most of the grain and grass in Lujiang County were concentrated in Shu county's treasury in advance. Even if it was more than 20000 Jiangdong army, it would be enough to eat for two or three months. Therefore, Zhou Yu did not need to worry about the issue of food and grass for a while.

After Cao Cao ordered the troops to return to the camp, Cao Xiu and other Cao generals were angry and asked him to fight, but Cao Cao flatly refused.

"I have another decision. Just wait patiently."

Later, Cao's army surrounded but did not attack.
