Chapter 1252 Cao Xian was shocked
In Yanzhou, Cao Cao stood on the bronze croak platform and looked into the distance, frowned slightly. At this moment, his heart had already flown to Lelang County in the distance.
Xun Yu came behind Cao Cao, clasped his fists and said, "Lord, I just received a letter from Fei Ge. The fleet has arrived at the scheduled location and is splitting troops according to the plan."
Cao Cao nodded, not making any more statements.
Xun Yu glanced at Cao Cao and couldn't help asking: "Lord, it's still possible for Lelang County to be kept. Will such a plan be worth the cost now?"
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "I have decided, Wenruo doesn't have to persuade him anymore!" Then he turned around and asked, "What's the situation in Jingzhou?"
Xun Yu rarely smiled and said, "There are constant news of good news in Jingzhou. The army led by Zhang Fei was firmly blocked by our army in Bowang, and it is still difficult to make any progress.
At the same time, Nanyang was shaking under the fierce attack of Mr. Cao Zhang, who personally led the main force. If nothing unexpected happens, he would probably be able to pull out the nail within a few days.
The Jiangdong Army, thanks to the fact that our army restrained the main force of the enemy, was unstoppable. After conquering Nanjun, it has now surrounded Xiangyang and is under full siege.
According to the recent war reports, the Ganning naval army was defeated on the Xiangyang water not long ago and retreated to the upper reaches of the Han River.
In short, the Jingzhou form is very beneficial to us. Liu Xian won Lelang County but lost Jingzhou, which is not worth the loss!”
Cao Cao smiled slightly.
Xun Yu frowned and said, "However, after the end of this Jingzhou Battle, Sun Jian will be the biggest profiter. Although our army has gone through hardships, it may only be able to get a place in Nanyang. Many people have complained about this..."
Cao Cao asked with a smile: "What do Wenruo think?"
Xun Yu said: "Now Liu Xian is our biggest enemy. As an important ally, Sun Jian, of course, the stronger the better!"
Cao Cao nodded deeply and said, "It is precisely when we are dealing with Liu Xian together, and it is not stupid to take care of gains and losses with Sun Jian?"
After this war, I will not only agree with Sun Jian's possession of the area south of the Han River, but also hand over Nanyang to him."
Xun Yu was stunned, then clasped his fists with admiration and said, "Lord is wise!"
Cao Cao thought for a while and said to Xun Yu: "I sent a letter from Fei Ge to inform Huang Xuer that although everything is going well now, his opponent is Liu Xianjun, and Pang Tong is a man with many tricks. Be careful and never be careless."
Xun Yu held his fists and agreed.
Cao Cao turned his head and looked into the distance, and his thoughts flew to Lelang County again.
Under the city of Lelang County, when the sun rose from the east, the huge sound of war drums broke the silence between the sky and the earth. Liu Xian's troops came out in full bloom, and the cities were arranged on the west, south and north sides of Lelang County.
The huge military formation is like a tide, countless flags are like clouds, swords and guns are like forests, cold light is like snow, and shouts are like thunder.
The Cao army hurried to the top of the city, and Cao Xian, who was fully dressed in clothes, also climbed the city gate tower and looked out of the city, accompanied by Li Dian, Cheng Yu and others.
Seeing that the enemy army was as powerful as a mountain and as strong as a rainbow, Cao Xian and others couldn't help but feel shocked and slightly changed color.
"Huh? It's Liu Xian's flag!" Cheng Yu suddenly pointed to the high-rise flag in the other party's military formation and shouted.
Everyone also saw the big star standing in the middle of the army, representing the emperor's identity. Under the big star, there was a person covered in black armor. Behind the star, surrounded by everyone, you know without asking that it must be Liu Xian himself.
Everyone was slightly surprised, and Cheng Yu frowned and said, "I didn't expect Liu Xian to come in person! It seems that he is bound to win Lelang County!"
Li Dian looked at Cheng Yu and said confidently: "The city is strong and reserved, and the enemy's artillery cannot be transported. Our army can defend the city and defeat the enemy!"
When everyone heard Li Dian's words, their fearful hearts were relieved.
Cao Xian stared at the enemy outside the city and thought in his mind: the enemy was traveling a long distance, and the food and supplies he carried were probably enough for five days. In other words, our army only needs to hold on for another five days, and the enemy would have to retreat!
As soon as he thought of this, a lot of confidence arose in Cao Xian's heart.
Dongdongdongdongdong... The sound of war drums outside the city rang out one after another.
Cao Xian withdrew his thoughts and looked outside the city. He could only hear a loud rumbling sound, which seemed to be the loud sound of many heavy objects moving forward and crushing the ground.
Cao Xian believed that his opponent was pushing the rush-made catapult cart up, so he didn't care. Because the city walls of Lelang County were all made of rock and rammed earth, unless they were cannons and those packed heavy stone cannon carts, they would not hurt the city wall at all.
At the beginning of the front, Liu Xian's army launched many objects, but it was not the stone cannon cart that Cao Xian thought, but nearly two hundred black iron cannons!
Cao Xianli widened his eyes, looking in disbelief as if he had seen a ghost, and couldn't help but shout, "This, how could this be possible?! How could they transport the artillery quickly?!"
Not only her, but everyone around her also showed a very surprised expression.
Cheng Yu frowned and suddenly said, "I understand! The enemy must have transported the artillery from their warships in a carriage!"
Cao Xian's face changed several times, and he looked a little at a loss. He subconsciously looked at the wall in front of him, and he couldn't help but pray that the wall could withstand the bombardment of artillery.
A sound of gongs sounded outside the city, and more than 200 artillery were ready for shooting.
Cao Xian shouted anxiously: "Hurry up! The whole army retreated from the city wall!"
At this moment, a huge roar rushed straight into the sky, and countless shells turned into phantoms and flew towards the city walls. They tore the air and made a tingling scream that made the scalp numb!
Immediately afterwards, the loud bang sounded, and the Cao army officers and soldiers only felt as if the earth was shaking. The unlucky Cao army officers and soldiers were directly hit by the roaring shells, and they immediately ended up with a tragic ending of blood and flesh flying everywhere.
The Cao army hurriedly went down the city wall, stopped under the corner, and supported the city wall above its head to avoid the bombardment of opponent's artillery!
Every loud noise of shells hitting the city wall, and the officers and soldiers hiding under the corners could not help but feel palpitations.
Cao Xian looked up at the scene of rock chips flying over his head flying in the sky, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
I regret not having all the limited artillery in my hand placed on the Likou and Hunmi Pass. If I leave some arrangements here, I would not be in the current situation of being completely passively beaten!
However, Cao Xian can only think about it this way now, and there is no medicine for regret in the world.
Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong...! Another huge impact sound came! However, the situation this time was different from the previous rounds. This time the impact sound was all from the city wall on the west side of the city gate.
Chapter completed!
