Chapter 990

As the saying goes, a thousand gold is easy to obtain, but one will be difficult to obtain. Zhang Fei is the most powerful general among the fierce generals. His fighting power is extraordinary. He roars loudly and kills Cao's army with a Zhang Ba snake spear. It's really a split between thousands of troops. Almost no one in Cao's army can stop Zhang Fei's pace and let him fight his way.

"The three generals are really brave and invincible. What can Cao's army do?"

"Ha ha ha, that's right. There are three generals here. What are we afraid of?"

"Let's fight with the three generals. Let's give this group of Cao's troops some color to see!"

Under the fighting of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, although the Yuzhou army was on the defensive, its morale was uplifted. On the contrary, the morale of the Cao army on the opposite side fell.

Xia Hou Dun was even more furious and wanted to go to supervise the war in person: "this group of rubbish is really incompetent, all of them will get out of the way!"

Xia Houjie, who was on the other side, was startled. He quickly put out his hand and hugged Xia Houdun. He tried to persuade him: "uncle, don't worry. Uncle is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. What should tens of thousands of officers and men do if there is a mistake?"

Under Xia Houjie's hard persuasion, Xia Houdun finally gave up the idea of going to battle in person, and just ordered: "all of you! If you can take down the enemy camp today, everyone will have a great reward. If you can't take it down, you will come to see you, hum! "

Xia Hou Dun was a violent and well-known man. Hearing his implied threat, Cao Jun's officers and men were all frightened and rushed to attack Yuzhou barracks. Although the number of Yuzhou troops was not as large as that of Cao's, there were 30000 people, and there was no big difference between them. Even if the two armies fought head-on, they would not be defeated, let alone defeated In other words, it's only for defense at the moment.

Cao army with a strong spirit, although still maintain a fierce offensive momentum, but more can feel, Cao's offensive is gradually fading, the pressure on the city's Yuzhou army is becoming smaller and smaller.

"Ha ha, it seems that the spirit of the Cao army has been exhausted. Come on! Go to ask elder brother quickly, whether our army can attack and attack Cao's army! " Zhang Fei was excited to take care of his parents.

After a while, the personal guard came back to report: "general, the Lord has an order, do not attack the enemy for the time being, and so on."

"Oh! I can't help it. I can only listen to my elder brother. I'll wait. " Zhang Fei sighed.

Although the 40000 Cao troops, mobilized by Xia Houdun, launched a fierce attack on the Yuzhou barracks, after all, nearly half of the troops were temporarily mobilized garrison soldiers, whose physical strength and fighting will were far inferior to those of the regular Cao army. In the offensive against the Yuzhou army, this group of soldiers was the first to lose the battle. They saw Zhang Fei waving a snake spear from a distance. They looked like a God. Naturally, they did not dare to face it and retreated one after another.

"Damn it!" Seeing this, XiahouDun could not help but get angry. He immediately urged his horse to step forward, pulled out his sword, and said in a sharp voice to a group of retreated garrison soldiers: "there is no sound of Ming Jin in the army. Who told you to retreat?"

When a group of soldiers saw Xia Houdun, they immediately bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.

"Damn it!"

Hum!

A sword cut out, a big head soared to the sky, fell on the ground, eyes wide open, an attitude of disbelief.

A group of soldiers around him fell to their knees in a hurry, their heads clasped on the ground and said, "general, spare your life, general!"

Xia Hou Dun said coldly, "now you rush up again for me, and take down the enemy camp. This general will not be responsible for the past!"

Of course, this group of soldiers did not want to continue to attack the city, but the sword of XiahouDun was in front of him. If he didn't rush up, the end of the man just now would be in front of him.

Tuntian soldiers quickly turned around and rushed to Yuzhou barracks again.

The battle of Cao's army was still going on. Xia Houdun was very anxious when he saw that the progress was not smooth. So he went to supervise the army with his sword. Once Cao's soldiers were defeated, he immediately killed them with a sword. Under Xia Houdun's threat, Cao Bing did not dare to retreat at will, but continued to fight. However, he was more like a millstone, unable to break the Yuzhou barracks Village.

In particular, the performance of the 20000 troops was even worse. They were not strong enough at all. They were always afraid of their hands and feet in the face of the Yuzhou army. Moreover, their performance also affected the morale of the other 20000 Cao troops.

This was the case in the Feishui battle in history. Fu Jian of the former Qin Dynasty claimed to have used 970000 troops and was able to break the flow. However, in fact, it was only at the front of the former Qin army that the 80000 Jin army under commander Xie Xuan fought, with a force of less than 200000. Xie Xuan asked the former Qin army to step back to make way for a gap. As soon as the former Qin army retreated, Liu Ganzhi, the general of Beifu army, immediately attacked. The news that the enemy's vanguard had been defeated reached the rear. All 970000 Qin troops thought that they had been defeated, so they retreated in a hurry, that is to say, all soldiers were killed.

Similarly, the timid performance of the garrison soldiers inevitably affected 20000 soldiers. Their morale and fighting will became more and more fragile, and their attack on Yuzhou barracks was more and more willing but less powerful.

This time, even the killing of XiahouDun had no effect. Once the morale subsided, it could not be recovered in a short time.Cao Zhen frowned and admonished: "uncle, our army seems to be exhausted. I'm afraid we can't defeat the enemy. If the enemy suddenly attacks at this time, our army will be in chaos, just like the Qi army in the battle of long spoon. How about retreating and returning to the city temporarily and making good plans?"

After Xia Houyuan was killed, Cao Zhen took over as commander-in-chief of Cao's army. Before Zhuge Liang's Second Northern Expedition, he expected Zhuge Liang to attack Chencang. Naturally, his strategic vision was extraordinary.

But Xia Hou Dun shook his head: "Zidan, we are about to eat up our army's grain and grass. If we can't break the enemy's barracks today, we will have no chance in the future."

Having said that, XiahouDun personally urged his horse to come forward, carrying his guard and shouting: "the whole army must take down the enemy barracks!"

Xia Houdun also had his consideration. Now, grain and grass are the biggest hard injury. If the first World War is not successful, it will be more and more sad in the future.

Cao Zhen sighed, but ordered: "tiger and leopard riding preparation, if the enemy attack later, be sure to stop!"

Before Cao Xiu, he was the commander in chief of the eastern front of Cao army. He attacked Soochow many times and had experience in water army operations. Therefore, Cao Xiu was sent to Jiangdong to command the Chaisang water army, while the tiger and leopard riding army was divided into two parts, led by Cao Zhen and Cao Chun respectively.

Cao Chun naturally followed Cao Cao, who was worried that Xia Houdun had no cavalry. So he sent Cao Zhen to XiahouDun.
