In front of Dagong Pass, Cao Cao looked at the wonders of the pass, and the heroic spirit of a hero who scolded Fang Qiu surged out again with a literati atmosphere in his chest.
Later Wei Wu, holding a riding whip, spoke in a deep voice to Guo Jia and Xun Yu beside him.
"Luoyang is located between three rivers. Legend has it that Yi Yin loved this place very much and said that the shore of Luoshui has the aura of a dragon and an elephant!"
"This is how we established our government to control the Central Plains. If Chang'an is named Danger, Luoyang is prosperous, Xuchang is granary, and Luoyang is central."
"The land between the Yellow River and the Yangtze River is full of heroes and heroes. As long as these two cities are in my hands, what do Yuan Shu and Liu Biao mean?"
"Poor Yuan Jiujiu, he is still a son of a high official. Although he has an advantage, he has no achievements. He will eventually become a withered bone in the grave and will never stand up again!"
Boss Cao despises Yuan Shu, which is just a habit. The sullenness accumulated in the jujube alliance back then is all on the Yuan brothers. Hebei still needs to be patient, but Huainan is no longer in serious trouble.
Seeing the boss' high spirits, the generals all made fun of him. Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled, feeling that today was the day when life would be full of joy.
While the Lord was chatting and laughing, Qingzhou elite soldiers and Taishan soldiers had already set up ladders and siege equipment on the top of the city of Dagu Pass.
Seeing the soldiers under his command climbing up the ladder like a tide, and the white wave of troops at the top of the city, but the arrows were not sharp, all Cao's troops felt that today was the day when Dagu Pass fell.
At this moment, a rolling sound suddenly came, and the city gate of Daguguan was slowly pushed open. A Shen Yi man, holding a giant ax, was the first to rush out.
The infantry of Cao's army not far from the pass were swept away by this man's impact like autumn leaves in the wind. They were instantly killed and injured. No one could stop this general.
Behind Xu Huang, the dead warrior Bai Bo, considered the last of the Yellow Turban elites in the world, was a warrior with a yellow scarf on his head and armor, wielding a big ax and a huge sword, and rushed out with Xu Huang.
Wherever Huang Mang passed, Cao's troops wearing soap armor were driven away from the pass city wall.
The sergeant of Cao's army who was climbing on the cloud ladder had the bamboo ladder under his feet suddenly pulled open. The dead soldiers who climbed on first fell from ten feet high in the air with strange screams.
"What a general. He unexpectedly attacked against the odds. He is truly proficient in the art of war and extremely courageous!"
"I originally thought that half of the world's fierce generals are under Yanzhou's tent. Only during this period did I realize how big the world is. There are tigers in Changshan, and there are also bears here!"
Seeing Cao Cao's army in chaos, the smile on Cao Cao's face slowly dissipated.
He looked at Xu Huang in front of him and thought of Zilong's power, and couldn't help but sigh.
Zhao Zilong was a young general and a hardcore man. Cao Cao valued him so highly that it made Xun Yu next to him feel uncomfortable all of a sudden.
It was difficult for Lingjun to speak, so he glanced at the newly favored Yang Xiu next to him. Yang Xiu understood and spoke slowly.
"My lord, you are not afraid when facing battle, and all the armies can move freely among them, but only the most brave generals will be able to do so!"
"I have heard that Wu Zi's art of war has something to say. If you strategize and stay firmly in the middle of the army, you can win. Only when the abyss is as deep as a mountain can you win!"
"Although this person and Zhao Yun are fierce, they are still inferior to the generals under the lord's command!"
Yang Xiu is smart and very popular with Cao Cao. Recently, he has taken over the position of chief secretary that originally belonged to Cheng Yu. He is in charge of Cao Cao's documents and correspondence. This is because Cheng Yu has too much to do and can no longer care about being Cao Mengde's top secret.
!
Yang Xiu knew that his master happened to be reading Wu Qi's Military Book recently. Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the smile on Cao Cao's face returned a few points.
At the foot of Dagu Pass, Li Dian and Yu Jin knew that their lord was behind them, so they braced themselves, brandished their spears, and charged towards Xu Huang.
The three generals started fighting like a revolving lantern at the pass. Xu Huang fought one against two, showing no signs of defeat. Wherever the ax wind swept, Li Dian and Yu Jin all gave way.
Cao Cao looked at the fighting at Taniguchi with a smile on his face. In his opinion, Cao Cao's army was powerful. After all, the situation here could not be saved by just one strong general!
Besides, he doesn’t have any strong generals?
Li Dian was good at restraining and managing the army. When it came to fighting, Xu Chu and Dian Wei, who had long been itching behind him, were the ones in charge of Cao Ying.
What's more, Xia Houen, the most powerful general in Cao's camp who wounded Lu Bu, disappeared among the generals, like a needle that fixes the sea!
Cao Cao was like a cat chasing a mouse, he wanted to see more of the Yellow Turban lineage in front of him, Xu Huang's methods, but suddenly, the smile on Boss Cao's face froze for an instant.
It turned out that the elite Baibo Army who finally broke out of the Dagongu Pass carried kerosene and torches in their hands.
These soldiers rushed along the stone wall. Those in the lead poured fire oil, and those behind them immediately lit torches. They cooperated very well.
Even if you lose some soldiers, you can still train your troops. These siege equipment are all temporarily built. If they were burned by Xu Huang, it would take dozens of days in front of Dagu Pass.
There are many major events in Xuchang waiting for Cao Cao to decide, and the rest is ignored. News from the north shows that Gongsun Zan is already in danger of defeat.
My friend Yuan Shao will eventually wake up. It will be interesting to see how he treats the little brother who controlled His Majesty.
"Rush forward, capture this person for me, and welcome His Majesty!"
In Meng De's heart, the leisurely interest of a scribe had long since disappeared. As he gave instructions, the two door panels behind him moved forward like mountains.
Xia Houen, the most powerful general in Cao Cao's army, stood up with his spear drawn and guarded him in front of Cao Cao. The expression on his face also became solemn along with his lord's, just like the last barrier in front of Duke Ming.
When Xu Huang set the fire, Yu Jin and Li Dian became agitated when they saw it. They didn't want to look back, and they could imagine that the boss's face must be very bad now.
Originally, Yang Xiu had sent news that Cao Cao was very fond of Xu Chu and Dian Wei, and often called Fan Kuai to Gan Ning and Tai Shi Ci.
These old comrades, on the other hand, seem to have fallen out of favor.
At the critical moment, Li Dian and Yu Jin were really anxious. Their spears were whirring, and they had only one thought in their minds. They tried their best to stab Xu Huang in front of their lord.
But he didn't expect that Xu Huang had already expected that Cao Jun would jump over the wall in a hurry.
Xu Gongming swung his big ax, forcing the two men back, and turned the horse's head, just like retreating at a pass.
In Bai Bo's army, more than twenty strong soldiers, each wielding a long axe, were separated between Li Dian, Yu Jin and Xu Huang, as well as the Qingzhou soldiers and Taishan soldiers who were fighting the fire. They crossed the moat board and rushed to the bottom of the city.
road.
This formation was obviously carefully arranged by Xu Huang. With the big ax swinging in the narrow place, Cao's army was not allowed to enter despite the large number. However, after a moment's delay, dozens more ladders were launched and the siege tower started to burn.
Xu Huang glanced over and saw that Cao's army's equipment had been damaged, and he was extremely happy.
He held his ax horizontally in front of the pass, shouted the word "retreat", set fire, started fighting, stopped when he was ready, and retreated towards the mouth of the valley as fast as possible.
Xu Huang knew very well that these five thousand people were the last elite of the Baibo Army. Cao Jun was crazy and must not be sent here!
What's more, the two moving mountains in the distance made the ground tremble as the horses moved. It looked like a macho man was in charge.
