Chapter 791 General Wu! (4000)(1/2)
At this time, Zhang Xi and his subordinates were completely confused.
They also had no idea what was happening. They only knew that those small balls were thrown into the enemy formation, and the enemy troops soon fell down in large numbers, wailing. In just a blink of an eye, the originally tightly defended shield formation appeared.
Lots of flaws.
Originally, Zhang Xi and others had been impressed by Wu Liang's ability to anticipate the enemy's opportunities, but not everyone can predict the enemy's thoughts a few days ago. If this ability is used in the right place, it can become a victory in a matter of minutes.
God of War.
And now...
They suddenly remembered what Yang Wanli had said before: "General Wu is just too lazy to argue with you. Can't he still control you? I'm not afraid of scaring you if I say it. If we meet on the battlefield, you'd better pray that it's not General Wu."
Enemy, otherwise, with just a few of you, our army will be completely wiped out in less than a moment, without even a chance to surrender!"
At that time, they all sneered and called the Hu army an army of craftsmen playing in the mud with disdain and ridicule.
And after seeing this scene.
They were actually somewhat happy in their hearts.
It was indeed as Yang Wanli said. Fortunately, they were not enemies of Wu Liang and the Hu army. Otherwise, if Wu Liang used these weird metal balls to deal with them, how would they respond to save their lives?
Unexpectedly, the enemy army in front of us had suffered a large number of casualties in just an instant, and it was only a mere twenty soldiers of the Hu army who caused all this. This is simply...
There is also the matter of capturing the flying general Lu Bu alive without spending a single soldier.
At that time, they also just regarded it as a joke, but now, it's just Lu Bu. If General Wu takes action, won't he be able to catch it?
Zhang Xi and his subordinates stared blankly at Wu Liang and the soldiers of the Hu army.
Especially Zhang Xi, although his understanding of Wu Liang is also very one-sided, he is the one who knows the most among this group of people.
At this moment, he finally understood why Wu Liang never led troops into battle and had no great achievements, but he could hold such a transcendent status in Cao's camp that Boss Cao was willing to marry his precious daughter to him.
He is just a low-key person who hides his secrets.
Just as Zhang Xi and his subordinates' minds were buzzing.
Following Yang Wanli's "throw", another batch of small balls were thrown into the enemy formation.
A moment later, another wailing sound came. Zhang Xiu's army was completely in chaos. All the soldiers were desperately retreating back, fearing that the next time the small ball fell next to them, they would be shot into a hornet's nest in an instant.
Not to mention experiencing that scene personally, just thinking about it makes my head tingling.
As for the shield formation they formed, it was naturally unsustainable.
Even in such a chaotic situation, Zhang Xiu's central army has already suffered a stampede... This level of casualties, and the casualties caused by magic in an instant, is enough to knock their morale to a negative level.
It is simply impossible to muster effective combat power.
"Captain Zhang, officers and men, what are you waiting for? The time has come for you to make great achievements. Kill!"
Wu Liang immediately shouted loudly.
"!
!”
Zhang Xi and his soldiers suddenly came to their senses.
They can indeed be called elite divisions with adequate combat qualities, and they have already entered combat status in just an instant.
"Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy and behead Zhang Xiu!"
"Kill--!"
Like wild horses, five hundred soldiers, led by Zhang Xi, rushed towards Zhang Xiu's army, which was twice as large as their own.
Zhang Xi was indeed a man. Although he was a general, he didn't care about his life at all. He rushed directly to the front, like a missed arrow piercing Zhang Xiu's army.
"Sir, can we come too?"
Seeing this scene, Yang Wanli and the soldiers of the Hu army were also excited and looked at Wu Liang eagerly.
"On what?"
Wu Liang immediately glanced at them and cursed, "Hold back and stay away from me. If anyone is splashed with blood, don't blame me for going back and punishing him with three months of food and salary, no, six months of food and salary, I said
We will never tolerate it if we do it.”
"promise……"
Yang Wanli and the twenty soldiers of the Hu army calmed down instantly and squatted beside Wu Liang to watch the battle.
…
at the same time.
Zhang Xiu had already followed Jia Xu's suggestion and ordered the troops and horses still under control to attack with all their strength to capture Cao Cao alive.
For a time, the killing noise of Zhang Xi's troops outside the encirclement was loud, and the roar of Zhang Xiu's troops inside the encirclement was also huge.
Such a situation naturally put great pressure on Cao Zhen and Cao Chun, who were preparing to break through, but at the same time it reduced the pressure on Zhang Xi's troops in disguise, because the troops coming to support the Chinese army would be very limited.
In fact, this is also what Jia Xu meant.
Capturing Cao Cao alive now is the only chance for him and Zhang Xiu. Even if there is a slight hesitation that causes Cao Cao to escape from the encirclement and eventually fall into a stalemate, they will completely lose. This is a decisive battle for him and Zhang Xiu.
As for Cao Jun behind the scenes.
Even though the Chinese army is now in chaos, Cao Cao's army, which consists of only a few hundred men, will kill them all in one fell swoop. It will take a lot of effort to get in front of them. As long as they get in front of them and capture Cao Cao alive, the situation can be broken!
in addition.
Jia Xu was not unprepared. Although he suggested that Zhang Xiu order the entire army to attack with all his strength, he also suggested that Zhang Xiu send his strongest generals back to protect him.
Unless Cao's army at the rear also has a general who can defeat ten thousand people, it will be difficult to break through the last line of defense of the Chinese army, and naturally it will be impossible to threaten him and Zhang Xiu.
…
"Retreat! Return to the house and fight at the door!"
Cao Zhen and Cao Chun shouted loudly and had to lead their soldiers back to the gate again.
They rushed out of the gate to break out of the encirclement, but Zhang Xi's troops instead of going to rescue the Chinese army after they were attacked, instead they rushed towards them from all directions as if they were crazy, with the intention of eating them alive.
It is obviously unrealistic to break through at this moment.
Otherwise, they would soon be cut off from their escape route and completely surrounded by people unable to care about each other, so retreating back to the mansion and fighting at the door became the only option.
certainly.
This is also the most passive option.
Zhang Xiu's troops had an absolute numerical advantage. Although the gate was narrow and easy to defend, with such a disparity in numbers, they completely lost the possibility of escaping and would only be wasted in the waves of battles fought by Zhang Xiu's troops.
Use all your physical strength and energy... This is just a delaying tactic.
"well!"
Cao Ang was furious at this moment and punched the stone wall beside him. He couldn't help but want to scold Cao Zhen and Cao Chun loudly, but he also knew that he shouldn't do this at this time, otherwise it would definitely affect morale and unity.
You can vent in this way.
But this time Cao Zhen and Cao Chun did make a big mistake.
If they had not suddenly hesitated during the breakout process, but had seized the opportunity to break out, they might have had a chance to survive. But at this moment, Zhang Xiu's army had already reacted, and they had exhausted all their strength to encircle and kill them.
The opportunity has been lost, defeat is only a matter of time!
"Bang!"
As the last soldier retreated into the courtyard, everyone immediately worked together to close the door.
Zhang Xiu's troops came one after another and placed heavy weights on the gates, causing the two gates to immediately become loose. Fortunately, Cao Jun's soldiers were well prepared and had already put their bodies on the back of the doors, and finally managed to stabilize them.
This way the pressure is finally reduced.
But this can still only temporarily alleviate the enemy's offensive. After a few more attacks, the wooden gate will be smashed by the army outside, and we will still have to fight hand to hand.
Take advantage of this short break.
Guo Jia squeezed through the crowd and came to Cao Zhen and Cao Chun. He asked curiously: "Two generals, just now you suddenly stopped... You must have encountered some unavoidable situation, right?"
Guo Jia did not dare to say that they "wasted the opportunity to fight", otherwise he might directly offend Cao Zhen and Cao Chun.
"Guo Jijiu didn't know what to do. After we rushed out, we suddenly heard a cry of death. We followed the sound and saw that Zhang Xiu's Chinese army was being attacked from behind by someone unknown. It actually showed signs of defeat."
Cao Chun said seriously, "The two of us thought that it might be our army's reinforcements, so we stayed and prepared to cooperate with that group of people inside and outside. However, we didn't expect that Zhang Xiu actually ignored the defeat of the Chinese army and ordered the entire army to attack us with all his strength. In this way, we will besiege us again.
It was absolutely impossible to break out of the encirclement, so we had to retreat."
"There are our reinforcements outside?!"
At some point, Cao Ang had also come closer. A look of surprise appeared on his frustrated face, and he asked questions like a barrage of questions, "Are you still attacking Zhang Xiu's Chinese army? And Zhang Xiu's Chinese army is showing signs of defeat?"
"
"Exactly!"
Cao Chen continued, "Our reinforcements did not know what means they used. They saw Zhang Xiu's army falling in pieces, and there were scenes of ghosts crying and wolf howling everywhere. The two of us started to hesitate when we saw this scene."
"Could it be the thunder that the talented and wise brother used in Anyi?"
