However, the orders that the two sides, who were originally glaring enemies of life and death, received were somewhat bizarre. Those menacing Cao Jun and some members of Yuan Jun suddenly, under the dispatch of their respective top generals, suddenly became enemies of life and death.
They became scavengers working together. They cleared the valley road together, and then left faster than they came. In an instant, like the wind and the remaining clouds, they pushed and drove the grain cart that originally belonged to Yuan Jun and disappeared into the wild valley road, leaving only one person behind.
Dead bodies on the ground.
Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang waited until all Cao's troops had withdrawn. After looking at each other awkwardly, there was a hint of relief in their eyes.
At this time, there was still unknown general Yuan Jun who was responsible for guarding these grain trucks outside the valley. The soldiers got through the gap between the huge trees on the other side. He hurried to Feng Lu's body and took a look. He saw only two corpses.
There is no chance of survival anymore.
Looking at the general in front of him, he knelt down on one knee, with tears in his eyes, blood staining the skirt of his robe, eyes wide open, and he was choked and speechless.
The younger brother of the general seemed to have a good relationship with Master Feng. He held Feng Lu's body, and the blood from Feng Lu's throat spurted out, splashing his lower jaw. At this time, the three strands of blood-stained beard were also covered by General Lu's body.
He didn't take it seriously, held his body in his arms, and just shouted: "Old Feng, we can only do the work of sharing the stolen goods in the next life..." After saying this, Lu Xiang burst into tears.
"Brothers, if we lose our food and grass, we will die if we go back, so why not..."
####### “Rumble…
A deafening bang woke up Yuan Shang from his sleep, followed by a violent earthquake and a huge roar of gas. Yuan Shang was violently thrown off the bed before he could open his eyes.
It flew into the air, rolled and rolled like a dead leaf far away, and then fell heavily to the ground.
"Oh, my mother... Where is the person coming? What the hell is going on?..."
Yuan Shang only had time to curse half a sentence before his mouth was filled with the smelly mud and grass. A stench mixed with the smell of mud, blood and corpses suddenly penetrated his nose.
Yes, it is the smell of blood and the strong smell of corpses. Yuan Shang has seen and smelled such a smell in Yecheng. He is no stranger to this strange smell. It is the smell of death, and it is absolutely
It only happens on the tragic battlefield!
A huge sense of crisis immediately enveloped Yuan Shang completely. Could it be that Cao's army attacked his camp with fire? No! How could the fire attack make such a loud and loud sound? Could it be...
Yuan Shang did not dare to speculate any further. Yuan Shang, who was already frightened, suddenly sat up and his eyes that had been unable to open were forcefully opened. The attendants who were left and right were also frightened.
As he hurriedly helped Yuan Shang drag his helmet and armor out of the tent, a tragic and suffocating war scene suddenly jumped into his eyes!
As far as the eye could see, there were all collapsed and charred trees, collapsed and burning barracks, and corpses scattered everywhere!
When Xunxun raised his head, the sky was gloomy and covered with smoke and clouds. Streams of light dragged long tail flames and passed through the sky continuously. Then they suddenly fell down not far away, and suddenly there were dazzling bright lights.
, and immediately there was another violent earthquake. Yuan Shang, who had managed to get up not long after, was suddenly knocked to the ground by another violent earthquake.
"My lord, my lord, are you okay?..." A hoarse but anxious roar suddenly rang out from Yuan Shang's ears.
Yuan Shang looked back in shock and saw Guo Tu leading a group of military guards and officials, rushing towards Yuan Shang and asking with concern whether Yuan Shang was injured or something like that.
"What's going on?"
"Oh, sir, Cao Jun suddenly wants to attack our army!"
"Ah! So fast..."
Yuan Shang, who was still in shock, quickly came to the camp fortress surrounded by civil and military personnel. Looking around, he saw groups of Cao soldiers wearing light gray coarse cloth and black armor. They were under the cover of a large-scale and intensive stone-throwing attack to disperse the enemy.
The soldiers formed a fierce attack on the legion phalanx that was also arrayed in front of their camp.
It was the first time for Yuan Shao to see such a grand and terrifying war scene. His calves were trembling involuntarily. He was so shocked that he couldn't distinguish between north and south. He turned his head in a daze and trembled and asked Guo Tu: "Every time
Is this always the case?"
Guo Tusu knew how courageous his little lord was. It was the first time in his life that he saw such a grand and tragic war scene, and he understood that anyone would be a little timid.
So he covered it up and said comfortingly: "Yes, lord! But lord, don't worry, Yuan Tan's camp is also under the same attack!"
"Oh, Cao Zhijin attacked our two battalions at the same time?"
"Yes, so in this way, with the current strength of Cao Zhi's army, there is not much advantage. We have the ability to compete with Cao Zhi!"
"oh!"
Yuan Shang nodded dully and looked towards Yuan Tan's camp to the left. In the distance, he saw a series of tiger-crouching fortifications that looked like three-story buildings, stuck at the intersection where Cao Jun was advancing. The same wilderness before
Up above, tens of thousands of people were already fighting in one place. There were shouts of death everywhere, screams and flaming stone bullets rained down in front of and behind the camp.
Compared with Yuan Shang's camp and the degree of attack, it was actually far better than Yuan Tan's side. Because when Yuan Shang was setting up defenses, he followed Guo Tu's advice and built the main defenses to the right of Yuan Tan's main camp.
It was on the side and retracted half a mile. Not only was it not guarding the main road, it even seemed to deviate from the main battlefield.
This is done so that once the war starts, Yuan Tan will be the first to bear the brunt of the fight, while Yuan Shao will act as a backup to make necessary supplements to Yuan Tan who is leading the charge.
This kind of defense naturally aroused Yuan Tan's dissatisfaction and protest. But who made Yuan Tan weak now and turned to Yuan Shang for help? With Yuan Shang's insistence, Yuan Tan could only accept this arrangement in the end.
Yuan Shang had a good plan, but he didn't expect that when the war started today, Cao's army would launch a fierce attack on the two brothers' camp and defensive formation without mercy.
"When and how did Cao's army break through the defenses between Yuan Tan and I?"
As soon as Yuan Shang finished speaking, and before he could give him an answer, a dozen dazzling rockets violently sprayed out from under the stronghold, intertwining into a tight fire net, and howled the soldiers who rushed forward from Yuan Shang's side.
Suddenly, they fell down piece by piece like chopped wild leeks...
"puff!"
As soon as a soldier ran up to Yuan Shang, his figure suddenly stopped, and then he fell straight back as if he had been pushed hard.
When Yuan Shang looked anxiously, he saw a flaming arrow in the middle of his forehead. The arrow was so powerful that it not only penetrated the soldier's entire head, but also completely opened the skull behind his head.
The fleshy brain was suddenly smeared all over the floor.
"Boom...boom!"
After a short and shrill scream, there was a huge explosion.
Yuan Shang was knocked to the ground heavily again. The vibration he felt this time was very different from the previous two times. Yuan Shang felt that after a loud noise, his internal organs almost moved out of place.
When he got up again, he saw that a large hole one or two meters square had appeared in the solid wall not far in front of him. The green smoke curling up on the camp was already burning. The few people who had just rushed to this position
There was no trace of the two soldiers. There was only one soldier with his hands on the ground, wailing miserably on the edge of the pit, but his torso below the waist had disappeared.
"Pfft."
A half-burnt object fell from the sky and landed heavily in front of Yuan Shang. It was the man's half-broken leg!
Yuan Shang's eyes suddenly widened. Even though he was prepared to accept the cruelty of the war, he never expected to see such a bloody scene as soon as he started. At this moment, he was not only shocked by the tragic war scene in front of him.
I was so stunned that I even forgot to swallow the saliva in my mouth. Instead, I leaned over and opened my mouth with a loud sound and started to vomit.
Yuan Shang stood up unsteadily, feeling his ears buzzing, and for a while he could no longer think with his brain.
"Hurry and protect the Lord and retreat. The enemy troops have rushed into the camp. They also used firearms, firearms..."
Everyone knows that there is a kind of firearm in Cao's army, commonly known as explosives, which can produce such terrifying and astonishing effects. However, Yuan Shang and others have always thought that Cao's army has been short of such weapons through previous intelligence. Because in many previous wars
Especially during the long period of confrontation between Yuan Shao and Cao Zhi at Guandu and Chen Bing, Cao Jun had never seen such a weapon. For some reason, Cao Jun came out with his "killer weapon" as soon as he came into contact with Cao Junpu today.
####### Fifteen miles southwest of Liyang County, on the Wei River flowing from the edge of the city, the sky is strong and windy.
The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, Cao Zhi, stood proudly on the bow of a large shipbuilding, his cloak rustling in the wind, but his brows were filled with high spirits.
The battle report he received said that his army had just broken through the separate defense lines of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and had succeeded in one battle. It was overwhelming and divided and surrounded the two young masters of the Yuan family who obviously lacked strategic thinking.
At this moment, his troops are using the few explosives left in the general, that is, using the strongest weapons, preparing to give Yuan Tan a head-on attack, and Yuan Shang will attack head-on, trying to quickly defeat the two men's attempt to stop Cao Zhi's progress here.
.Destroy their will to fight, destroy their defenses, create a quick defeat and a terrifying start for them.
The presence of these explosives in Cao's army was due to Cao Pi's private collection and Xun Chen's vigorous mining of various explosive raw materials in Dongjun, Yuzhang and other coastal areas.
Cao Zhi stood proudly on the bow of the boat. The soldiers on both sides shouted low chants and rowed their oars in unison. The river water made a "splashing" sound, and the boat slowly and powerfully advanced towards the war zone.
