Chapter 218 Where is the support, it is clearly to grab the credit!
Sishui Pass.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of gold is constantly ringing, the flames of war are raging, and the shouts of killing are heard one after another.
Outside the pass, Cao Cao frowned and stared at the battlefield. The long sword in his palm pointed at the city gate from time to time, and he roared hysterically: "Charge up to me and capture Sishui Pass at all costs."
"kill-!"
Another group of soldiers and horses, holding their weapons high, howled like wild wolves and rushed towards Sishui Pass.
At some point, Bao Xince stepped forward, frowned and said, "Mengde, this is not the way to go. The thief seems to be ready to die and shows no signs of retreating."
"Of course he doesn't dare to retreat!"
Cao Cao seemed to have expected it. His eyes were bright and he said sonorously: "If Sishui Pass is defeated, the eastern front of Luoyang will open the door. This is their last line of defense. How can they not defend it to the death?"
"But......"
Bao Xin looked worried and kept beating in his heart: "If the fight continues like this, we will lose everything before we can knock down the Sishui Pass. Isn't it worth the loss?"
"Yuncheng."
Cao Cao turned to glance at Bao Xin and said solemnly: "Believe me, now is the time to work hard. We have suffered heavy losses, especially the Xiliang dog thieves. The key depends on who can't hold on first."
"But you have to know!"
Cao Cao's eyes were bright and he was full of confidence: "Dong Zhuo has been defeated. The Xiliang soldiers at Sishui Pass are alone and have no reinforcements at all. But we are different. King Hongnong has conquered Dagu Pass and will definitely rush to Luoyang to kill him. He will definitely
They will send troops to help us."
Although Sishui Pass and Dagu Pass belong to different battlefields, they all send scouting horses to find out information about each other's battlefields. Just yesterday, Cao Cao got the news that King Hongnong had broken through Dagu Pass and rushed to Luoyang.
As a result, Cao Cao's confidence doubled. Even though he had lost troops and generals in recent days and his morale plummeted, he still could not think of avoiding the edge temporarily because he knew clearly that this battle had been won.
"Will King Hongnong really come to our aid?"
Bao Xin naturally also learned about this news, but after all, they belong to different battlefields. There are still certain obstacles in the transmission of information between the two sides, and they cannot communicate whether it is correct or not.
"Definitely."
Cao Cao's eyes were as bright as fire and he was very sure.
"Mengde, why are you so confident?"
Bao Xin believed in Cao Cao's military ability, but he didn't know much about King Hongnong.
Although King Hongnong has indeed created many miracles recently, and under his subtle influence, the situation in the fight against Dong is excellent, this is still not enough for Bao Xin to ask for King Hongnong's support.
Cao Cao looked at the battlefield from a distance, and his eyes seemed to have crossed the Sishui Pass and reached the bustling Luoyang: "Because we are loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. Since King Hongnong escaped and gathered a team to challenge Dong, he will not let us down."
"Don't worry."
Cao Cao grinned and said sonorously: "In as little as three days, as long as five days, King Hongnong's reinforcements will arrive. We must ensure that we are fighting at all times to contain some of the Xiliang soldiers and horses."
Since King Hongnong had reached the hinterland of Luoyang, reinforcements would surely come from behind. It was difficult for Cao Cao to judge the specific time, so he adopted clumsy methods to attack the city at all times to contain the opponent's troops.
certainly!
As the commander-in-chief of Sishui Pass and one of the six great generals under Dong Zhuo, Hu Zhen was naturally experienced in hundreds of battles and had rich experience. It was impossible for him to be unaware of what was happening in Luoyang.
Since the opponent did not withdraw his troops, he obviously wanted to hold on longer and buy time for Dong Zhuo to withdraw his troops. This person would definitely be wary of reinforcements coming from behind to ensure the safety of the soldiers at Sishui Pass.
Cooperate with each other to fight in the air.
Not as easy as imagined!
However, the flame burning in Cao Cao's heart has never been extinguished: "Yuncheng, you have to believe me, King Hongnong will definitely support us. When we take Sishui Pass and conquer Luoyang, we will rush to Chang'an and eliminate Dong Zhuo."
"It's true."
The corners of Cao Cao's lips raised slightly, and he smiled faintly: "I, Cao Cao, have already thought up a strategy for King Hongnong. When the war in Luoyang is resolved, if we follow this strategy, we will surely enter Chang'an and kill Dong Zhuo.
"
"And I believe that after this incident, King Hongnong is no longer what he used to be. Once he returns to the palace, he will be the strongest emperor in the history of our Han Dynasty. His future achievements may not be inferior to Guangwu."
Bao Xin was also shocked by Cao Caokang's impassioned preaching. He nodded slowly and took a deep breath: "If this is true, even if we fight to the death of one soldier, it will be worth it."
The relatives are gone, the eunuchs are gone.
For Cao Cao, the current Han Dynasty has already taken on a completely new look.
This is an extremely thorough coup. Although the price is a bit high, its future will be smooth.
Cao Cao couldn't wait to fall into the arms of the new Han Dynasty.
Contribute your own strength to its reconstruction.
(PS: According to the author's understanding, based on Cao Cao's current experience and experience, he has not yet realized the dangers of family tycoons, so his focus is temporarily limited to his relatives and eunuchs.)
"Hurry up!"
Cao Cao pointed his sword at Sishui Pass and ordered sternly: "The Xiliang thieves are at the end of their game and can't hold on for long. Now it depends on the fighting will of both sides. Don't be afraid. Victory will belong to us."
"kill-!"
The soldiers who had retreated bravely rushed forward again.
When the Sishui River was closed, Hu Zhen was holding a war spear, his eyes flickering from side to side, alert to the enemy troops that might attack at any time.
"Don't worry about missing arrows, just give these bastards a good beating."
"Throw rocks and logs out of here!"
"Why are you standing there? Fight back!"
"..."
Hu Zhen kept directing the battle.
Since early morning, he hadn't even had time to drink water, and his throat was almost smoking from shouting.
"Report—!"
At this moment, a hurried announcement sounded from behind.
Hu Zhen turned his head and looked.
But when he saw a horse riding Juechen coming, his scout dismounted and quickly went to the city. He looked extremely panicked and said: "General, something bad has happened. Jiang Sima was defeated by Sun Jian and is coming here."
"What?"
Hu Zhen looked in disbelief: "Jiang Cheng was defeated so quickly?"
The scout nodded: "Well, the opponent was Sun Jian, known as the Tiger of Jiangdong. His offensive was very fast. He took the lead and rode into the army. Jiang stabilized the battle situation and fought fiercely with him. He died at his hands."
"idiot!"
Hu Zhen grinned his steel teeth and shouted sternly: "Before leaving, I repeatedly told you to give full play to the advantages of the cavalry and try your best to use delaying and harassing tactics to buy time for Sishui Pass."
"How did he..."
"General."
Before Hu Zhen could finish speaking, the scout interrupted directly: "Sun Jian also led cavalry. Although there were only four hundred cavalry, each of them could ride and shoot, and fought with spears in both hands. Jiang Sima's five hundred elite cavalry were not them at all.
opponent."
"In the first wave of arrows, dozens of horsemen died under Jiang Sima's tent. In the second wave of arrows, dozens more horsemen died. Jiang Sima had no choice but to fight with him, but he didn't expect that he was still defeated. The whole army
Overturned."
Hu Zhen was stunned when he heard this and stared like a bell: "What did you say? Everyone in King Hongnong's cavalry can ride and shoot, and they can also fight with spears in both hands?"
The scout nodded with certainty: "This is what I saw with my own eyes. How can it be false?"
hiss-!
Hu Zhen took a deep breath, and his heart was shocked.
There are thousands of cavalry under his command, but it is difficult to select many warriors who can ride and shoot, let alone those who can fight with spears in both hands.
What is even more astonishing is that the cavalry under King Hongnong can not only ride and shoot, but also fight with spears with both hands, and there are as many as four hundred of them, which is simply incredible.
If this is really the case, Jiang Chao's death was not unjust.
But once he dies, Sishui Pass will be attacked from both sides, and there will no longer be any danger to defend.
At present, the city gate is under attack by the enemy, and there is no possibility of withdrawing troops to support.
"General!"
The scout leaned forward and said, "What should we do? Should we withdraw our troops?"
Hu Zhen frowned and pondered for a long time: "We can indeed withdraw our troops, but once we withdraw, what will happen to Li Jue and Guo Si in Luoyang? What will happen to the prime minister who is not out of danger yet?"
"Brothers!"
Hu Zhen glanced at the soldiers at the top of the city and let out a roar of thunder: "We are the gateway to Luoyang. Only by guarding this gate can we protect your majesty, protect the prime minister, and fight against the Kanto rebels."
"kill-!"
The strong cry of killing sounded again.
At this moment, Hu Zhen had made up his mind to shed the last drop of blood for Dong Zhuo.
There was no hesitation in his eyes, and he immediately ordered: "Guards, quickly go to the inner wall to set up defenses. Even if the battle ends with only one soldier, you must hold on to me until the end."
The soldiers beside him raised their hands: "No."
Immediately.
Everyone went down to the city one after another and headed straight towards the inner wall.
At the same time, Hu Zhen said sonorously: "Password, all the soldiers in Sishui Pass, even the Huotou Army, scouts, and order soldiers, carrying kitchen knives and sticks, must join the battle."
The scout handed over his hand: "No."
How could the mass of soldiers and horses at the head of Sishui Pass escape Cao Cao's eyes?
"Hahaha!"
Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed wildly. He raised his hand and pointed at the city head and said loudly: "Yuncheng, have you seen that Hu Zhen is mobilizing his troops and the reinforcements from King Hongnong must have arrived!"
"God is really helping me!"
Cao Cao was extremely excited and had a fierce fighting spirit.
Even Bao Xin, who was still hesitant before, couldn't help but get excited at this moment. He kept nodding his head: "That's right! King Hongnong's reinforcements must have arrived. King Hongnong's reinforcements must have arrived."
"Ha ha!"
Looking up to the sky and laughing wildly, Bao Xin shouted at the top of his lungs: "Brothers, King Hongnong's reinforcements have arrived. The traitor is attacked from both sides. How can he survive for long? Come on!"
The morale of the soldiers soared, shouting at the top of their lungs: "Kill—!"
Cao Jun, who was already exhausted, seemed to be resurrected on the spot with full blood. He seemed to have endless strength and climbed up crazily.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of gold exploded, and the flames of war raged.
From this moment on, the battle completely entered a fierce stage.
"Report—!"
Just as the whole army was charging forward bravely.
Suddenly, a long announcement sounded from behind.
Turn around and look.
My own scout Juechen came.
Cao Cao sighed and turned to look at Bao Xin: "Yuncheng, who do you think will come?"
Bao Xin snorted coldly: "Who else could it be? Of course it is Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou. He is the only Han clan clan member in the Yanjin direction. We have received the news that King Hongnong has broken through Dagu Pass, and he will naturally receive it too.
"
Cao Cao looked helpless: "No matter what, having reinforcements is better than having no reinforcements."
Bao Xin said softly: "The war is about to end. Coming here at this time is no different from grabbing credit. He is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. King Hongnong must trust him more than you and me."
"Mengde."
Bao Xin asked tentatively: "Will you be willing?"
Cao Cao frowned slightly and pondered for a moment: "There is no need to be unwilling. I, Cao Cao, have long been used to it."
How could Bao Xin not know that Cao Cao was strong on the surface but angry in his heart: "If King Hongnong is really as you said, his achievements in the future will not be inferior to Guangwu, he will definitely be able to distinguish right from wrong and know who is the one who truly loves the Han."
"Um."
Cao Cao nodded: "I believe your highness."
At this moment, the scouts galloped forward, bowed and raised their hands: "General, from the direction of Yanjin, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, is coming with his troops."
Bao Xin looked sullen: "It is indeed him."
Cao Cao nodded: "How many soldiers and horses does Liu Shijun bring?"
The scout replied: "At least five to six thousand people."
Phew~~
Cao Cao let out a long sigh: "Okay, I got it. Let's go and inquire again. Once there is news, report it as soon as possible without making any mistakes."
The scout handed over his hand: "No."
Not long after.
Sure enough, a team arrived outside Sishui Pass.
Liu Daice immediately stepped forward and greeted Cao Cao and Bao Xin from a long distance away: "Meng De, Yuncheng, I, Liu Dai, have been thinking about it for a long time. Since I am here to challenge Dong, I should do my best. How can I interfere with foreign affairs? So this is
Bring troops to help."
"Mengde!"
Liu Dai naturally knew that Cao Cao was the real commander of this team: "If you have any military affairs, you can just give them direct orders. This governor will spare no effort."
Cao Cao bowed his head with a smile on his face: "Since the envoy said so, Cao will not be polite. There are insufficient troops on the north side of Sishui Pass, so the envoy might as well send someone to top it."
Liu Dai looked up and saw that the troops on the north side were slightly smaller. He nodded slowly: "Don't worry, just leave it to me."
"Where is Wang Gong?" Liu Dai greeted.
"Here." Wang Gong cupped his hands and clasped his fists.
"Quickly arrange troops and horses to rush to the north to reinforce and attack Sishui Pass."
"promise."
After Wang Gong leaves.
Liu Dai rode his horse to level with Cao Cao, raised his lips slightly, and said softly: "Mengde has been committed to storming Sishui Pass. If he kills Luoyang this time, it will definitely be the first achievement of the Yanjin Allied Forces."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "No, Cao is just a general who fights vigorously. Shijun is the governor of Yanzhou, and Shijun also deserves a share of credit for the battle at Sishui Pass."
Liu Dai smiled and seemed to be quite satisfied with Cao Cao's answer: "It's just the loyalty of the big men. As long as Dong Zhuo can be eliminated, no matter how big the sacrifice, it will be worth it."
"snort!"
"Obviously..."
Bao Xin snorted unconsciously and was about to speak contemptuously when he was directly interrupted by Cao Cao: "Yuncheng, please return to the camp quickly to sort out the supplies. It won't be long before the Sishui Pass is defeated. When the victory comes, the victory will be great."
, reward the three armies with a good life."
"Ah yes."
Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, immediately echoed: "My troops have tens of thousands of people under their tents and are collecting food and grass in the camp. Yuncheng can come to the city gate with him. After rewarding the three armies today, we can set off early tomorrow morning."
