In front of Guandu.
Cao Cao was clad in battle armor, a scarlet cape hung on his shoulders, and the Azure Tripod Sword was tied to his waist. He looked down on the mountains and rivers with disdain.
The Xiahou brothers will lead the vanguard with four thousand Tiger Leopard Battalion.
On the flanks were Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Yue Jin.
The central troops were led by the fierce general Guan Yu and the tiger maniac Xu Chu.
Beside Cao Cao, Guo Yun was dressed in a white robe. The four strategists followed closely behind him. Zhao Yun and Xu Chu supported him from the left and right. The sixty thousand infantrymen slowly crossed the river in the evening.
Far away!
The sky gradually darkened.
"Order Cao Pi to mobilize the air force."
"Here!"
With Cao Cao's order, the 300 hot air balloons behind him soared into the air and swept towards Li Yang.
Under the hazy night sky, there were only specks of fire in the distance, and one could not see their appearance clearly.
"Cao Hong, listen up!"
"You will lead the six thousand Tiger Leopard Battalion and charge straight at Gao Lan's troops. Together with the air force, you must finish the battle within fifteen minutes!”
"Don't worry, my lord. If you can't complete the mission, Hong, bring your head to me!”
After Cao Hong received the order, he led the six thousand Tiger Troop like a ferocious tiger descending a mountain and charged towards Gao Lan's troops.
"Guan Yu, listen up!"
"You will lead ten thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry to the west. If Zhang He's troops make any moves, kill them without mercy!”
Although Zhang He had 30,000 cavalry, Guan Yu's pride was nothing to him.
"I accept your orders!"
Guan Yu cupped his hands and did not argue with Cao Cao. He stroked his long beard and held the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand as he led his troops to the west.
Cao Cao did not care about Guan Yu's attitude.
If the war in the north was settled, it would no longer matter if Guan Yu surrendered or not.
After crossing the river and distributing the attacks from the two positions, Xu Chu was instantly annoyed.
"My lord, what about me?"
"My axe is already thirsty!”
Xu Chu gripped the Five Ding Mountain Splitting Axe tightly. Ever since he obtained this divine weapon, he had not truly displayed his prowess. If this continued, his position as the eighth in the world might be in danger.
Isn't that so?
It was not easy for him to be ranked seventh, but Guo Yun was actually a hidden peerless expert.
His status instantly decreased by one.
Alright, Xu Chu admitted it.
At this moment, even Guan Yu, who was in a half-recovered state, was entrusted with such a heavy responsibility. How could Xu Chu not be anxious?!
One had to know that there was an even more ruthless Zhao Zilong in the next class.
"Old Xu, don't be anxious. You're the key to winning this battle!”
Before Cao Cao could reply, Guo Yun spoke first,"Whether or not we can defeat Li Yang will depend on you and Zilong!”
Even if the seven ambushes were broken by the Cao army one by one, it would not be easy to break into Liyang.
After all, the defense of the city was so heavy that the best way was to break it down from the inside.
"Don't forget, Yuan Shao's army still has two days of rations. If the army outside is defeated, the remaining 80,000 soldiers guarding Liyang will be able to hold out for six days or more. Adding on the fact that they can slaughter their warhorses to satisfy their hunger, they will be able to hold out for at least eight to ten days!”
"At that time, when the reinforcements from Bing Province and You Province arrive at Li Yang, our army will have no way to escape.”
Xu Chu immediately understood when he heard that.
The ambush outside was child's play!
The battle that would truly decide the outcome was to conquer Li Yang City.
"But there are so many buildings in Li Yang City. Even if the air force throws it, it won't have much effect.!”
It was rare for Xu Chu to be smart.
The city was different from the fertile fields. There were tiles and beams covering their heads, so it was indeed difficult for the hot-air balloon throwing team to play their role.
"Therefore, to conquer Li Yang, we must use airborne tactics!”
Guo Yun said slowly, explaining the strategy in detail.
Xu Chu was speechless.
"Mystic, Mystic Immortal, don't joke with your brother. If I jump from a hundred feet high, wouldn't I fall into pieces?!”
After hearing Guo Yun's plan, Xu Chu was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.
What kind of joke was this? Did he really think that Xu Chu had a blockhead?
Fly up, I believe you.
That was because there was a hot air balloon carrying him, but f * ck, a person jumped down from above to attack Yuan Shao?
"Mystic Immortal, please believe me. I'm really not a peerless warrior!”
"What do you mean I'm definitely not in the top ten!"
"Why don't you let Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, and Xiahou Dun go?!”
Guo Yun,"(o) Convex."
Zhao Yun,"Plump!"
Seeing how unwilling Xu Chu was, Cao Cao said solemnly,"Alright, Xu Zhongkang, if you want to violate the military order, go back to Xuchang and guard the stable!”
"If you want to guard the stable, then guard the stable!"
"Not even beheading!"
Xu Chu pursed his lips and became unyielding.
Cao Cao was speechless.
Guo Jia was speechless.
Xun Yu,"(@_@;)"
Jia Xu was speechless.
This was something that Cao Cao and Guo Yun had not expected.
No matter what, Xu Chu was also a man of steel. He had been on the battlefield and had never flinched even when facing Lu Bu. He actually had acrophobia?
It can't be, right?
"Lord, no matter what, Zhongkang is a meritorious minister. We can't let him guard the stable. It will chill the hearts of the soldiers!”
At this moment, Guo Jia's lips curled into a sly smile.""But if you disobey the military order, if you don't punish him, it will inevitably mess up the military discipline. This subordinate suggests that you punish Zhongkang so that he can't drink anymore in this life.”
"Very good!"
Xu Chu was speechless.
Fine your sister, you don't drink?
Then why not chop off my head!
"Let me tell you, Guo Fengxiao, if it weren't for the sake of being a Mystic Immortal, I would have killed you today!”
Guo Yun rolled his eyes at him and said," Old Xu, you and Zilong will lead the 300 Tiger Troops to the first high ground. We will take off from the high ground and land in Liyang."”
Guo Yun did not use his longbow cavalry because they were not good at street fighting.
The Tiger Troop was promoted by the centurion, and these 300 men were the elites of the elites!
The battle to break the city was extremely crucial.
Guo Yun wanted to go personally, but Cao Cao refused.
Entering Li Yang was like fighting a trapped beast. If one failed, they would die without a doubt.
Zhao Yun knew this very well.
"General, don't worry. Zilong will definitely complete the mission!”
Zhao Yun had a confident look on her face as she turned around and left on her horse.
"Lord, Zhongkang is going!" Xu Chu also cupped his hands. Just as he was about to ride his horse, he heard Cao Cao's solemn instructions,""Zhongkang, you must come back alive! This is an order, do you hear me?"
Xu Chu turned his head and nodded heavily. He did not reply!
After Cao Cao watched the two generals leave, he took a deep breath.
He was naturally clear that landing in Liyang and breaking through the city from the inside was the most important thing!
As long as they could open the city gates, then Li Yang's four zhang city walls would be rendered useless!
Other than Guo Yun, no one else was more suitable than Xu Chu and Zhao Yun.
At the same time.
At the first ambush point, Gao Lan's troops were looking down from above with full concentration.
"General, Cao Cao's troops are coming towards us!”
a scout reported.
" Everyone, be on alert. If the Cao army enters the range of the crossbows, give them a good beating…" Before Gao Lan could finish his sentence, he heard a series of air-piercing sounds, followed by a shrill scream.
"F * ck!"
"General, General, spears are falling from the sky!”
"A miracle!"
"Could this be a divine weapon that descended from the heavens?”
All the soldiers looked up and saw the long spears that covered the sky coming at them like a storm!
"Why are you still sighing? Run!”
The ambush point was halfway up the mountain, and it wasn't very vast.
After two rounds of spear throwing, Gao Lan's 10,000-strong army was thrown into disarray, suffering heavy casualties.
"Children, follow me to kill the enemy!"
Cao Cao saw the attack from high up in the sky and roared, leading the 6,000 Tiger Leopard Battalion to charge forward," Discarding weapons, don't kill!"
300 hot air balloons, a total of 1,200 soldiers throwing three rounds, how terrifying was the power!
Coupled with the charge of elite cavalry like the Tiger Leopard Battalion, Gao Lan's ending could be imagined.
Cao Pi took a deep breath and looked down at the world.""Add kerosene and move forward with the wind. Attack the next point!”
On the other side, Xu You finally showed her worth.
He followed Guan Yu's troops to deal with Zhang He and left the main group. He rode his horse to Zhang He's encampment and looked at the shocked Zhang He. He took a deep breath and said,""Jingyi, do you still remember the promise from two days ago?!”
Zhang He,"Plump!"
