Chapter 473 Jiangdong Tigers and Timely Rain(1/2)
"The last general Cao Mengde is guilty."
Cao Cao came to apologize to Chu Tian, and was quite embarrassed.
In this battle, two people performed outstandingly. One was Boss Cao, who was almost captured alive by the Baibaoxianbei of Lanling King, and the other was Xiahou Yuan, who shot Guan Yu in a cold arrow.
Cao Cao's performance reminded Chu Tian of the Battle of Tongguan and the defeat of Cao Cao by Ma Chao.
It seems that in the future, a powerful general will be assigned to Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Legion.
However, Cao Cao's defeat is also good, and it can weaken Cao Cao's influence.
"One year's salary is deducted."
Chu Tian deducted Cao Cao's salary for one year as a punishment, and now he is the boss.
After losing a battle, he did not demote, but only deducted a year's salary, which is enough to show Chu Tian's preference for him.
Cao Cao muttered in his heart that if Chu Tian had not wanted to leave Dian Wei, he might not have been so embarrassed. Cao Cao was chased by Lanling King, but it was too chaotic at the time. In fact, the Tiger and Leopard Legion suffered little loss.
"Please ask the lord to ask the miracle doctor Hua Tuo to take action and save Zihe."
"Zihe was seriously injured when she served me, so she should save her."
When Chu Tian saw Cao Chun who was seriously injured, he couldn't help but admire his courage.
The Cao family has produced many talents, and whether it is Cao Cao, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, and Cao Zhang, they are all famous generals. Just relatives of the Cao family can form 2-3 legions.
Chu Tian asked Hua Tuo to heal Cao Chun, win over Cao Chun, and indirectly win over Cao Cao.
Because Chu Tian only symbolizes the punishment of Cao Cao and healing Cao Chun's injuries, Cao Cao's loyalty has increased a little.
After dealing with Cao Cao, Chu Tian gave Xiahou Yuan another reward.
Xiahou Yuan could actually shoot Guan Yu, which was unexpected.
Guan Yu was seriously injured, which was a heavy blow to Liu Bei's army. Every time Liu Bei's army sent troops, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were the pioneers. This time, it was estimated that Guan Yu would not dare to fight in a short period of time, or Liu Bei was worried about letting Guan Yu, whose force had decreased, go to fight, for fear of losing a general.
"From now on, you will be the general of the boss, and I hope to continue your efforts."
Chu Tian promoted Xiahou Yuan to a deputy general as the price to severely damage Guan Yu.
If Liu Bei lacks Guan Yu, the threat will be reduced accordingly.
"Thank you lord!"
Xiahou Yuan surrendered to Chutian's camp and was promoted from a captain to a deputy general. He was already well treated as a surrendered general.
A few years ago, a commander and a captain were quite rare. Now Chu Tian’s army has a bunch of generals, generals, and even a few generals.
After Chu Tian defeated Liu Bei, Fang Xuanling counted the prisoners, and captured Liu Bei's army in total, with countless armor and flags, including many good horses from Youzhou.
Chu Tian announced the team's leadership.
Because of the retreat left by Wang Meng, Liu Bei was able to retreat to Handan safely and regain his strength.
Half of his troops were lost in one go, Guan Yu was seriously injured, and Liu Bei did not dare to support Yecheng again, so he had to rest in Handan for a month or two to wait for his morale to recover.
"Chu Zimou's main army fought with us in Zhangshui and Fushui. I hope that Ashina Sheerna can successfully burn Chu Zimou's food and grass."
Liu Bei sighed from time to time.
He entrusted the army to Wang Jingluo, who seemed to be of great talent in his opinion, and was defeated by Chu Zimou, and was almost wiped out by Chu Zimou in the water.
If it were him, Liu Bei, personally directing the war, would the result be even more tragic?
Liu Bei could probably guess in his heart that the result would probably be wiped out, and neither of him nor Guan Yu or Zhang Fei could escape.
After fighting with Chu Tian, Yiren Military Advisor Chen Xi was taciturn and probably didn't have much opinion on Liu Bei's army.
Now Liu Bei's army can only see whether Asansheer, who went to attack food and grass, can achieve military achievements.
Logically speaking, in this battle, Chu Zi made all his plans to come out and guard against the Yecheng defenders. There should not be too many soldiers guarding the food and grass.
"General Ashner has arrived!"
When the Turkic prince Asan Sheer went to Handan to meet with Liu Bei, Liu Bei was full of expectations.
However, when Liu Bei, Wang Meng, Chen Xi and Zhang Fei left the camp, he saw a bloody man.
Ashinosheer's armor was damaged, he suffered dozens of trauma and had a blade on his face. It was a miracle that he could come back alive.
Behind Asuna Sher were the cavalry who brought surprise attacks on food and grass, and only more than 200 cavalry survived, all of whom were wounded and covered in scars.
Liu Bei's scalp was numb, and he could not imagine how fierce the battle Ashinasheer had experienced.
Ashinoser brought eight thousand cavalry, but in the end, two hundred cavalry, only two hundred cavalry came back alive!
Liu Bei had never even seen such a tragic loss ratio, a total of 40 to 1!
"The last general was ambushed, and the other party should use more than 30,000 troops to block the last general's retreat with a battle elephant. The last general fought to the death and escaped..."
Asuna Shel was describing the scene at that time, and his whole body was trembling. This night attack became his shadow instead.
Almost, the entire army was wiped out.
"Wang Jingluo made a mistake in his judgment and almost harmed the general."
Wang Meng felt guilty towards Asuna Sheer and couldn't help but blame himself.
He secretly ordered Asansheer to attack the granary of Chutian's military camp. He was originally at a disadvantage and gave it a try. However, this time Wang Meng failed the bet.
Xia Tianliang directly called the rare war elephant troops to block the exit, which caused Asansheer to find out that he could not escape even if he wanted to escape. Instead, he was trampled to death by the war elephant.
"Mr. Bian Que, please help me."
Liu Bei asked for help from the miracle doctor who defected to him again.
Bian Que also admired Ashinaser, who risked his life to break through the siege: "This general is loyal and courageous, so he is naturally willing to heal his wounds."
Liu Bei could feel at ease when Bian Que healed Ashinaser, but when he thought that both troops and horses were defeated, he couldn't help but worry about it and it was inevitable to stop it.
Chu Zimou is too strong.
Not only is he strong himself, but his generals are also good at fighting, but what is more excessive is that his wives and concubines can also fight...
"well……"
Liu Bei sighed heavily. He felt a little bit of the feeling of Cao Cao being attacked by Chu Tian.
Chu Tian returned to the camp in Yecheng and continued to prepare for the attack on Yecheng.
It will take some time for Liu Bei to restore morale and replenish his troops. At least during this period, Chu Tian doesn't have to worry about Liu Bei coming to harass him.
"Gao Yong, Shen Pei did not leave the city and cooperate with the cavalry who attacked the granary inside and outside?"
"Of course, the defenders of Yecheng left the city to respond, but were defeated by Joan of Arc and rushed back."
"Can the master general who sneaked into the granary sneak attack and captured alive?"
"He ran away and only captured five thousand prisoners alive. You won't blame me, do you?"
"Of course not. But...you have a little peace first, this is a military camp."
When Chu Tian returned to Yecheng camp, Xia Tianliang rubbed hard on himself.
Since the Third National War, especially Katerina, who is called vulgar by Xia Tianliang, appeared, Xia Tianliang tried every means to squeeze Chu Tian dry. She was really not Chu Tian's opponent, so she would call Mulan...
"Aren't the enemy driven away? Or are you thinking about the dirty-shaped Ekaterina?"
“…”
Chu Tian was powerless to refute, so he had to subdue Xia Tianliang before he could devote himself to attacking Yecheng.
The commander of the siege was Le Yi.
Facing a giant city with years of operation and complete defense facilities, Le Yi may not be sure to quickly trap the city.
This battle is a huge challenge for Le Yi.
...
In Yuzhang County, Sun Jian took his son Sun Ce back to his home in Chaisang.
"My brother sent me to conquer the land of Huainan, and I had to obey. If you die in battle, Quan'er, Yi'er, Kuang'er, Lang'er, and a few little girls will be taken care of by you."
Sun Jian was quite loyal and agreed to the Tongque attack on Huainan, but did not break his promise. So he returned to the mansion and said goodbye to his two wives and concubines.
The nine-year-old Sun Quan followed his mother and said to Sun Jian: "Dad, I also want to go to Hefei."
"Wait for Quan'er in a few more years, at least he must be as tall as your brother before he can go out with his father."
Sun Jian rubbed Sun Quan's head dotingly. Sun Quan is still a little brat now.
However, in Sun Jian's view, Sun Ce, as the eldest son, is closest to him, regardless of courage or force.
"By the way." Sun Jian remembered Tongque's advice to him and looked at his new daughter who had not been born. "This girl is worse than the name Sun Shangxiang. How about it? If my brother can become the lord of Jiangdong and marry this girl with his son, our Sun family can also get along with each other."
"Everything depends on your husband."
"Well, I see this woman looks like a noble person."
The more Sun Jian looked at Sun Shangxiang, the more he believed in destiny.
Some people are destined to hold a golden spoon when they are born, while others are destined to do nothing when they are born.
To be continued...
