Chapter 575 Fierce battles everywhere
Xu Huang said anxiously: "Military advisor, I will lead my army back to the rescue immediately!" Ma Dai said: "Why would you attack the Cao army camp in front of you? The Cao army must have secretly transferred the main force back. After we were given a call, we would use our plan!"
Zhuge Liang looked thoughtful.
At the same time, only 30,000 infantry were left in the Cao army camp, led by Wei Yan. Wei Yan was commanding his soldiers to arrange firewood, grass, sulfur and saltpeter turf in the entire camp. Wei Yan looked at the soldiers busy in the camp and smiled and murmured: "Xun Yu's plan is really high! After Zhuge Liang learned that the Nanban camp was attacked fiercely, he must have thought that this camp was a void camp and led a large army to attack. Once they stepped into the camp, hum, they would fall into the sea of fire specially prepared for them! This battle would shake the morale of Dingfengjin Lu Bu's army. Then, Xun Yu's army broke through the South Bank fortress of Lu Bu's army and rushed straight into the entire Yuzhou, and the entire battle situation would inevitably be reversed! Alas, Xun Yu, it's really impossible not to admire him! Who could come up with such a wonderful plan?"
A general rushed to Wei Yan and clasped his fists and said, "General, all of them have been arranged, just waiting for Lu Bu's army to arrive."
Wei Yan glanced at the camp and ordered: "Tell all teams to ambush and wait for Lu Bu's army to attack the camp." The general responded and ran down.
This is the best place to prepare, and Zhuge Liang came out all over the place, and nearly 200,000 people rushed in.
When Wei Yan saw this scene, he was so excited that he trembled all over and widened his eyes and murmured: "When I annihilate these 200,000 Lu Bu troops, my reputation will definitely be comparable to Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun and others! At that time, everyone in the world will know my Wei Yan's name!"
...
His vision temporarily turned to Yanzhou.
A scout rushed into Yanzhou City and felt that the Prime Minister's Mansion had presented an emergency letter to Cao Pi, who was proclaimed as Prime Minister. Cao Pi opened the letter and read it, his face changed drastically. He quickly said to Sima Yi and others: "My younger brother Cao Zhi rebelled in Qingzhou." Everyone was shocked, and Xu You stroked the goat's beard and showed a thoughtful look.
Sima Yi thought, "Although Mr. Cao Zhi complained about his lord, he was in a weak mood. Logically, he did not dare to do this! It must be someone who instigated him that he would take risks for a moment!"
Cao Pi said with a gloomy face: "This Qingzhou governor is Cao Zhi's father-in-law. I have to replace this person long ago, but the gentleman did not let me do this, and now it has caused such a big disaster!"
Sima Yi was speechless.
Xu You glanced at Sima Yi and sneered, "I don't know if Zhongda is also involved with Cao Zhi?" Seeing that this was so poisonous, Sima Yi became angry at Xu You for the first time and said loudly: "What kind of person is Sima Yi, the lord, naturally, knows. It is best not to slander, otherwise it will only harm himself!" Xu You sneered.
Cao Pi looked at the two of them and said angrily: "Don't say these useless words, we should discuss how to deal with the current situation now! Now that Lu Bu's army is approaching, Cao Zhi is stolen in Qingzhou. This matter is extraordinary and must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Sima Yi said: "There are only 100,000 civilian troops in Qingzhou, and there are no generals under Cao Zhi. You only need to send a reliable general and lead 30,000 elite troops to quell the rebellion. The most worrying thing now is not the Qingzhou rebellion, but the rumors caused by this. Lu Bu is also very likely to take the opportunity to fuel the fire. Once the rumors cannot be controlled in Yanzhou, the consequences will be more serious than the Qingzhou rebellion!"
Cao Pi frowned and nodded, and said to Xu You: "Mr. Ziyuan, I would like to be an inspector to closely inspect the public opinion trends in the city. For those who spread rumors, no matter who they are, they will be captured first." Xu You was secretly happy and agreed to the promise. Cao Pi said to Xiahou Dun again: "General Xiahou," "The last general is here." "Please lead 40,000 elite troops to go to Qingzhou immediately, and eliminate the rebellion in the shortest time!" "No."
Cao Pi walked down the steps and came to Xiahou Dun, reminding him: "Cao Zhi must not let him escape regardless of life or death!" Xiahou Dun nodded.
...
Huainan Lubu Army’s south bank camp.
Hundreds of thousands of Cao troops continued to attack the second camp like a tide. Zang Ba led the soldiers of the War Bear Army to fight to the death, and saw blood flying all over the sky, and the soldiers on both sides fell in pools of blood.
There were too many enemy troops, and the second level of camp was about to be unable to defend. Zang Ba ordered 10,000 combat cavalry to divide into two teams and rush down from the slope between the two levels of camps on both sides. The ten thousand combat cavalry rushed down from the slope like acrobatics, and rushed into the enemy's tide, as if a torrent surged into the sea of sand, horses slashed their swords, and heads hit guns, and Cao's army fell down a large area! However, the Cao army was too dense, and the cavalry's charge was quickly frozen, trapped in the endless enemy ocean, and a man was overturned in the sea of guns and swords!
These ten thousand war cavalry could not charge, and they could not retreat, and they would only die in bloody battles!
The battle lasted until after four o'clock in the afternoon. The War Bears Legion could not resist and retreated into the most battalion. At the same time, the tincture oil and gunpowder buried in the second battalion were lit. For a moment, a violent explosion sounded, and balls of fire rose into the sky, and the second battalion turned into a sea of fire! The Cao army in the second battalion suffered heavy losses, and the subsequent troops retreated in a hurry! The fierce battle paused temporarily!
The soldiers of the War Bear Legion gasped violently and looked very tired. They had not encountered such a fierce battle for a long time.
Zang Ba looked back at the floating bridge on the river far behind him, frowned, showing a desperate look, and ordered, "Do you destroy the floating bridge!" The soldiers looked at each other. Zang Ba shouted, "Didn't you hear my order?" A general hurriedly said, "General, if the floating bridge is destroyed, we have no way out!" Zang Ba said ruthlessly, "If we can't stand this south bank camp, even if we can escape, what kind of face will we have to meet the general and your colleagues? Destroy the bridge!" The general was unable to do so, so he had to accept the order.
Xun Yu, who was re-arranged the attack, suddenly saw the flames rising from the back of Lu Bu’s military camp, frowned, and murmured: “I didn’t expect that they had such a determination! If you want to destroy them, you might not be as smooth as the plan will be!”
The flames of the second battalion disappeared, and the white smoke was still rolling on the earth, and the sound of Cao's war drums rang out again! The endless Cao's army rushed up like a tide, with spears like forests, shields entering the wall, majestic and imposing!
The sight turned back to the fixed wind.
Zhuge Liang led an army of 200,000 approaching Cao's army camp, but did not attack immediately.
