At Sun Quan's insistence, Cao Cao reluctantly agreed to send troops with him to attack the Qin army's siege equipment. But when Sun Quan took Lu Meng down to rectify the troops, Cao Cao and Sima Yi looked at each other and smiled, as if their treacherous plan had succeeded.
The appearance. However, this kind of thoughts can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words!
When Sun and Cao's coalition troops left the camp, Meng Da immediately sent someone to notify Liu Zhang. After joining forces, although Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Zhang He and other generals would lead their troops to protect the equipment, this time Sun and Cao's coalition sent too many soldiers.
.The enemy troops were so densely packed all over the city that even Meng Da, who was used to seeing big scenes, felt a little numb.
Upon receiving the request for help, Liu Zhang immediately led his troops out of the stronghold. He was never afraid of large numbers of enemy troops! Back then, when he only had an army of 40,000, he dared to charge directly into the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops. Today, he has at least 500,000 to 600,000 troops under his command.
, how can we be afraid of Sun Cao's coalition? When he came to the front and saw the formation of Sun Cao's coalition, Liu Zhang couldn't help but laugh!
"Cao Mengde, how long has this been? You still want to weaken the Jiangdong Army. Aren't you helping the orphans?" Seeing Jiangdong's army blocking the middle in an attacking formation, while Cao's army defended both sides in a defensive formation, Liu Zhang's heart
Quite sighing. He couldn't help but think of the Battle of Hulao Pass twenty years ago. Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance at that time, also used this move to consume the strength of other princes. Could it be that once he became the leader of the alliance, people's hearts would change? Liu Zhang was shaken
He shook his head and let out a long sigh!
Sun Quan, who had not yet realized that he had fallen into the trap, immediately stood up with Cao Cao and looked at the Qin army with serious faces. Under normal circumstances, when the two armies fight, they will fight their generals first to increase their morale. But as everyone knows, the Qin army has many powerful generals.
, Cao Cao and Sun Quan finally decided not to seek this bad luck, even if they had Lu Bu under their command!
"Come here, ask Cao Cao what Sun Quan means!" Seeing the enemy's delay in moving, Liu Zhang was a little impatient. He didn't like to stay there and stare at the little ones! After hearing the order, a small colonel rode out.
, what greeted him was arrows like locusts! If he still didn’t understand the enemy’s intention, Liu Zhang would be stupid!
"Your Majesty, it seems that Sun Quan and Cao Cao are not doing well!" Pang Tong and Xu Shu, who were standing next to Liu Zhang, looked at the Sun and Cao coalition with smiles. The two were not chatting, but visually measuring the distance between the two armies!
"About 800 steps! When attacking a city, the effective attack range of our military equipment is 400 steps. If it is a field battle, it can be further!" Meng Da commanded the equipment every day and was very knowledgeable about visual distances. He did not wait for the two military advisors.
Asked, he quickly reported the results!
Pang Tong smiled sinisterly and said: "Sun Quan must have come here to destroy our army's equipment. Let him know the power of our army's equipment! Zidu, except for the thunder chariot, can those crossbows bypass our army and attack the enemy?"
"
"Of course!" Meng Da said with a smile: "When the crossbow is elevated and launched towards the sky at a certain angle, it can shoot at the enemy from above our army's head, and it can also extend the range. The military counselor should know that the arrows on our army's crossbow equipment
Yato is like a spear or shovel. Even if it is just thrown from a high altitude, it can kill many people..."
"In this case, there is no need for cavalry to lead the battle!" Pang Tong said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please put General Guan's Qinglong Guard in the first place, General Zhang's Euphorbia Guards in the middle, and General Huang's Huben Camp in the rear. The three armies are ready.
"
"Shi Yuan, don't be so troublesome. I'll leave this battle to you!" Liu Zhang didn't want to be the messenger, so he gave up the command to Pang Tong. Since his subordinates are capable, let him use them to their fullest, why bother to hold on for the sake of face!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Pang Tong didn't want to give full play to his power, but he couldn't directly ask for military power. Liu Zhang's order was exactly what he wanted, so he didn't refuse. He took the command directly and immediately asked Guan Yu and others to start deploying
Formation!
Seeing the Qin army moving, Sun Quan frowned and asked with some confusion: "King Wei, what do you mean by the Qin army?"
Cao Cao sneered and said: "What's the point? Liu Zhang wants to fight us! It seems that Liu Zhang is also a little impatient and wants to kill us as soon as possible!"
"Why don't we want to kill him!" Sun Quan raised his brows and seemed a little unhappy. I don't know if he was angry that Liu Zhang underestimated him, or he was dissatisfied with Cao Cao's provocative words!
"The Qin army is indeed powerful!" Cao Cao sighed, and then asked in a deep voice: "Zhongmou, should we avoid the attack temporarily, or fight with it decisively?"
"Let's fight. We have 700,000 soldiers in the coalition. How many people does Liu Zhang have? Are we still afraid of him?" Sun Quan gritted his teeth. His hatred for Liu Zhang could not be washed away by pouring the water of the Yellow River. He saw Liu Zhang showing off his power on the opposite side.
, he was very unhappy!
"This... I will join forces with Zhongmou to fight Liu Zhang!" Cao Cao hesitated for a moment and suddenly agreed. Although he did not want to fight Liu Zhang without being sure, he saw Sun Quan's high fighting spirit.
, there are also some old men who act like teenagers.
"The King of Wei is a hero!" Sun Quan said with a smile: "The generals of the Qin army are unparalleled in their bravery, and they still need the King of Wei to take care of them! Of course, I can't let the King of Wei suffer, so let our army be the vanguard!"
"Zhongmou is interested!" Cao Cao shouted fiercely: "Send an order to all the generals in the army to do their best to kill the generals who are blocking the Qin army. Our soldiers will follow the Jiangdong army to attack!"
"No!" Colonel Cao Jun immediately announced the order to the entire army, and the speed of his actions even surprised Sun Quan!
Since Cao Cao had given the order, Sun Quan could no longer shirk the blame. He turned to Lu Meng and said, "Ziming, don't let outsiders underestimate our army! You will lead the army yourself and defeat Liu Zhang!"
"General, I obey!" Lu Meng gave a military salute and then rode away. His magnanimity made Cao Cao's eyes brighten!
"Zhongmou also has capable people under his command!" Cao Cao nodded in admiration, his love of talent recurred again.
"The King of Wei is so complimentary!" Sun Quan shook his head and said: "This boy joined the army when he was fifteen years old. Seeing that he was good at martial arts, Gu took him as a confidant. Although he had read a little under Gu's force over the years, he was still reckless and reckless.
It gives me a headache!"
Cao Cao laughed and said: "A general who is both brave and strategic has been described as so unworthy by you. Zhongmou, you are so lucky that you don't know how lucky you are!"
"King Wei, Gu's generals are really not comparable to your generals, so stop laughing at Gu!" Sun Quan smiled and shook his head, as if he envied Cao Cao. As for what he thought, only God knows!
In front of the formation, Lu Meng and Sima Yi mobilized their troops. Behind the formation, Cao Cao and Sun Quan were testing each other. As soon as the coalition soldiers stood in formation, a small colonel immediately asked Sun Quan and Cao Cao for orders. Although the Qin army was ready, they did not seem to attack.
The plan! The three armies just stood there stupidly, leaving Sima Yi and Lu Meng a little confused!
"Zhongmou, what do you mean by Liu Zhang?" Cao Cao pinched his chin, thoughtfully, and he already understood something!
"It seems that Liu Zhang wants us to take the initiative to attack!" Sun Quan glanced at Cao Cao and directly expressed his thoughts.
"I think so too!" Cao Cao nodded, not paying attention to Sun Quan's eyes at all. He frowned and asked: "Zhongmou, do you want to attack or not?"
Sun Quan smiled grimly and said: "King Wei, we just want to destroy the Qin army's weapons. Since we are already facing each other, if we don't fight, wouldn't it make outsiders think that you and I are weak and can be bullied?"
"This..." Cao Cao seemed to have made up his mind. He waved his hand and said: "In that case, give the order!"
"Chuangu orders: attack with the whole army!" Sun Quan nodded and ordered at the same time as Cao Cao. Hundreds of thousands of allied troops marched in neat steps to kill the Qin army. It can be seen that both Jiangdong Army and Cao Cao Army are well-trained elites.
, otherwise why not rush forward in a swarm?
Seeing that Sun and Cao's coalition finally moved, Pang Tong shouted: "Meng Da!"
"The end is here!" Meng Da stood with his fists clasped, his eyes full of excitement!
Pang Tong said in a deep voice: "You take control of the equipment camp. When Sun and Cao's coalition forces enter the range, they will launch an attack directly without asking for orders!"
"No!" Meng Da roared and immediately retreated into the equipment camp. He ordered the soldiers manipulating the equipment to pay attention to the movements of Sun Cao's coalition forces at all times, and only waited for the opponent to enter the range before launching an attack. This was the first time he had the initiative
Quan, don’t mention how excited you are!
"Commander, what am I doing?" Zhang Fei couldn't help but look worried as he held the Zhangba snake spear in his hand. Infantry and equipment both had tasks, so he couldn't just watch the battle with his cavalry behind!
Pang Tong said: "Don't be impatient, Yide. Under the attack of weapons, the cavalry has no advantage. When the two armies fight together, that's when you will show off your power!"
"Military advisor, how long will it take for this to happen? Can you please give me an accurate message..." Impatient people are most afraid of waiting. Seeing Huang Zhong and others eager to try, Zhang Fei was really worried about whether Sun and Cao's coalition could survive the melee!
"Yide, shut up!" Seeing Zhang Fei chirping at the side, Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "Don't forget our military regulations, do you want to be imprisoned?"
"Your Majesty, I was wrong..." Zhang Fei was shocked. The person he was most afraid of was Liu Zhang, and the last thing he wanted to do was to be put in solitary confinement. He was scolded loudly by Liu Zhang. Although he was unwilling to do so, he still retreated, but the grievance on his face showed
, but made everyone laugh.
"Boom, boom..." As soon as Sun and Cao's coalition forces entered the range of 600 steps, Meng Da had already ordered an attack. The first one to attack was the Thunderbolt Chariot. Although it was a little beyond the range, the huge stones fell to the ground first after they were thrown.
, and then bounced up, and with the help of strong inertia, they hit the coalition soldiers. The effect was no worse than killing them directly. However, Liu Zhang felt that it was a bit wasteful. After all, preparing stone bullets also requires manpower!
"Whoosh..." Naturally, mere stone bullets could not stop the coalition's advance. After the coalition advanced another hundred steps, various crossbows also began to show their power. Huge arrows like spears, strong arrows like shovels, carrying
Boundless power poured from the sky onto the heads of the coalition soldiers. Cao Cao was a little confused, why did the Qin army have so many special arrows?
"Your Majesty, our army has suffered heavy casualties, and several armies have collapsed!" Seeing the power of the Qin army's equipment for the first time, Lu Meng was stunned and wiped the cold sweat off his head, and quietly came to Sun Quan's side. However, he did not dare to say retreat.
, otherwise Sun Quan would probably eat him alive!
"What do you mean?" Sun Quan narrowed his eyes, and the expression on his face made people feel chilling.
"Your Majesty, do you want to ask Cao's army to speed up their march to prevent our army from being unable to support it?" Lu Meng wiped away cold sweat again. In fact, he really wanted to suggest Sun Quan withdraw his troops, but he didn't say the words!
"Hmph! Cao Cao's army will deal with the generals of the Qin army, and our army will deal with the soldiers of the Qin army. This is something that has been discussed. Do you think Cao Cao will help me? Stop talking nonsense and order the entire army to advance quickly. As long as they can cross this distance, Qin will
The military equipment is powerless, and that is the time to test the strength of our army!" Sun Quan glanced at Lu Meng coldly, although he knew what Lu Meng wanted to say, but since he didn't say it, he didn't want to care about it!
"General, I understand!" Lu Meng did not dare to say anything, and immediately stepped aside and concentrated on commanding the army!
On the battlefield, starting from the place 600 steps away from the Qin army, the Sun-Cao coalition forces left countless corpses. The further they went, the more corpses were left. By the time they reached the 400-step distance, all kinds of broken limbs could be seen everywhere.
, there were even many people who were smashed to pieces by thunderbolt chariots. Fortunately, in order to prevent their own soldiers from being hit, the Qin army's crossbows chose to eject, so there was no situation where a row of people were killed with one arrow!
The soldiers of the coalition finally broke through the blockade of crossbows and thunderbolt carts, and entered a place less than 300 steps away from the Qin army. However, Huang Zhong's Huben camp began to show its power again. A continuous stream of arrows, although there were no crossbows or thunderbolts.
The effect caused by the car is shocking, but the effect of killing the enemy is also extraordinary.
The wails, screams, and groans were intertwined together, coupled with the buzzing of instruments and bowstrings, making the place where the two armies fought look like a Shura slaughterhouse. Sun Ce's coalition forces suffered losses before they could engage the Qin army.
There were more than 10,000 soldiers. Sun Quan and Cao Cao, who knew very well that kindness did not lead the army, did not waver in the face of such a situation. They kept urging the troops to move forward!
Finally, the Sun-Cao coalition broke through the 800-step distance and came to the Qin army, but what greeted them was the Qinglong Guard under Guan Yu. The sharp swords and thick shields made the coalition soldiers who had just experienced the baptism of weapons once again
In the face of massacre, it is still one-sided massacre!
As the number of coalition soldiers increased, the Qinglong Guard felt a bit of pressure, and Zhang He's Euphorbia warriors added more. Holding halberds in their hands and wearing heavy armor, they were like mobile fortresses of Euphorbia warriors.
The Qinglong Guards killed Sun Cao's coalition forces and retreated steadily. But Guan Yu and Zhang He stared into the distance without making any move. They were recharging their strength and waiting for the arrival of the enemy general!
"Abandon the bow! Raise the sword!" The Qinglong Guards and the Euphorbia Soldiers were dispatched, and the Sun Cao coalition slowly came to the front of the Huben Camp. Huang Xu, the general of the Huben Camp, commanded his soldiers to fight forward, but Huang Zhong stood beside Guan Yu and Zhang He.
, because he saw his old rival Lu Bu! However, before the weapons stopped attacking, General Cao's army would never risk his life!
The two armies gradually intertwined, and the equipment could no longer have much effect. In order to prevent the equipment from being damaged, Pang Tong roared: "Meng Da, lead the equipment battalion back to the stronghold! Yide, Meng Qi, you two escort the equipment first
Camp, prepare to attack again!"
"Nuo!" The excitement of the upcoming battle stimulated Zhang Fei and Ma Chao. As the two urged them repeatedly, the equipment camp slowly retreated...
