Chapter 0403: Wubao

The sky was dyed dark and the rain gradually decreased, sometimes dense and sometimes sparse, but the war was particularly intense.

Boom -

The walls of the Wubao Fortress burst, and in the firelight, dozens of fragments of earth were shot down, covering dozens of steps. Amidst the screams on the walls, a group of soldiers were shaken off, leaving only shock and suspicion of heavenly power. At this moment, a large number of Qingzhou soldiers, who had experienced it several times, were already rushing forward with cries.

Shoot! "Arrows kept falling from the air, and someone was shouting," Top up! Think about your father, elderly, wife, and children behind you, kill them. Liu Yaojun will come to the rescue soon

The sound of killing on the city wall shook the sky, the blade light was like snow, and blood splattered everywhere. The two groups of people sacrificed their lives to fight, and over time, corpses kept falling.

On the third day of the release of Dong Congwen, this is the outskirts of Tancheng, the capital of Donghai County.

Tancheng is a strong city that is difficult to conquer. Cao Hong, who was responsible for attacking the east of Xuzhou, led the Qingzhou army to plunder the area. The defending soldiers of Tancheng dared not go to war - they were annihilated by the Cao army with the advantage of their tactical division, and could only watch helplessly as the Qingzhou army caused trouble in the area.

This is also the reason why this person in the fortress did not shout 'Tao Shijun will come to rescue', and it is known that there will be no such thing.

At this moment, Ye Qing led a 100000 strong army to force into Pengcheng, and the governor scattered the Qingzhou soldiers all over the ground as a disaster. At the same time, he also scattered all the 5000 red armored light cavalry he brought. With the help of Youzhou's good horses, he launched a lightning fast attack.

Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhou Ling, and Zhang Fangbiao each led a team of red armored light cavalry, with each team consisting of one thousand, accompanied by a sorcerer. Five lightning bolts were scattered across the four counties, sweeping away the enemy troops in Qingzhou.

The combat principle is to use the reconnaissance and cover up of the high skilled division, to avoid early attacks of more than three thousand, to evade small groups of three thousand and below, and to dispose of captured soldiers at a low price to local villages and forts, even without accounting, with the intention of supporting the resistance against Cao Cao.

The five teams communicate and share intelligence with each other through information disks, and are always ready to listen to the main force's dispatch and cooperate with attacks, forming a whole battle like casting a net to catch the unlucky small group of Qingzhou soldiers who are caught.

For a moment, not only did the people of Pengcheng County inspire everyone, but dozens of counties in Xiapi, Guangling, Donghai, and Langya counties also shouted slogans such as "Liu Shijun has come to save the army" and "Don't be afraid of death, Liu Shijun will avenge us"!

Although the number of places that the five Red Armored Light Cavalry can save every day is limited, this is a strong signal of support and provides tangible armor to trigger local resistance to Cao Cao's intensity!

Cao Hong recently felt that it was becoming increasingly difficult to attack these fortresses. At first, only one thousand soldiers were needed to capture them, but now it is necessary to gather more than three thousand soldiers, which greatly reduces efficiency.

If we can't complete Brother Mengde's mission, what should we do? "He thought, looking at the fortress with anger - why wouldn't we obediently let our army kill him!

Xuzhou has a strong sense of chivalry, and many righteous people have joined the rebellion against the Cao bandits. Famous local tycoons in Huaizuo have also collected nearby refugees, accumulating sufficient strength.

Although there are no strong warriors, there are still several rangers leading the charge to counterattack the breach of the fortress wall, killing dozens of Qingzhou soldiers in a row, and even waving knives and arrows to smash some arrows. Their skilled martial arts are undoubtedly displayed here, which is very conspicuous on the battlefield.

A warrior who has practiced Qi on the first and second levels, dare to flaunt in front of us? "Cao Zishuai's several ground level sorcerers snorted coldly. After calming down the joint casting magic and shaking, they used the killing Taoist technique again.

Ice arrows flew in, and with the help of a few divine adjustments, they sealed off the space of the first ranger. With a 'plop', the ranger's chest exploded and he fell down.

Then another scream rang out

Without a cup of tea time, these rangers were all killed with a single blow. Hundreds of soldiers bravely charged to block the breach in the fortress wall, and even nearly a thousand civilians roared and resisted with weapons. The atmosphere of the people was boiling in the void, but they lost their organization and were immediately suppressed by the rain of arrows. In an instant, they were killed by thousands of Qingzhou soldiers with red eyes, leaving them bloody!

This house is finished... "Cao Hong put down his long bow with satisfaction, and the bowstring trembled uncontrollably. He ordered," The commander's team counts the grain

Looking back, he nodded to several "Taoists" and said, "Thanks to the help of several Taoist priests

The leader was wearing a black robe with two flames on the cuffs, which was the symbol of a second-class sorcerer in the earthly world. His expression was somewhat arrogant. At this moment, he couldn't afford to neglect Cao Hong's identity. He bowed slightly and responded, "Just following General Cao's orders, these indigenous rebels refuse to obey the military's authority, so let them open their eyes. What does it mean to be crushed by heavenly power

Cao Hong saw this and didn't care about the arrogance of these Taoists. When drinking privately, his elder brother Cao Ren was dissatisfied with the situation and even worried about the changes in the spiritual energy of the environment. However, Cao Hong didn't consider these things.

As long as Brother Mengde can still suppress this generation, he can keep fighting and making money. What else is there to be dissatisfied with? "Cao Hong thought to himself, looking inside the fortress wall.

The resistance inside is still ongoing, but the intensity has noticeably decreased. Many gunshots have been heard, and even the cries of women have been heard, indicating that the impatient Qingzhou soldiers have begun to vent their beastly desires.

Cao Ren, the elder brother of his own clan, launched 300000 troops from Qingzhou to support the south from Yanzhou. In recent days, except for 60000 selected soldiers who were incorporated into Cao Cao's main camp and 100000 soldiers who were assigned to Cao Ren as a branch army, the remaining 140000 soldiers were mixed in quality and spread to various counties and districts in Xuzhou according to 3000 subordinates. Each team cooperated with several sorcerers to attack forts and villages, loot local wealthy households, and plunder children, silver, silk, and food and forage.

Xuzhou, under the command of Tao Qian, had accumulated wealth and abundant oil for three years. Some of the stored grain was too much to take away, so they simply burned it on the spot.

As soon as the Qingzhou soldiers lifted the blood ban, they turned into beasts. Adult men in the villages and towns they passed by slaughtered them all, while women were mostly humiliated to death, leaving only those with better looks as military prostitutes.

The nature of the bandits is such that the number is too large, and the supervisory team did not dare to restrain too much. They only took the majority, selecting beautiful women, intelligent and qualified boys and girls, valuable belongings, and escorting them back to the main camp, ready to be sent back to Yanzhou.

Damn it, this crazy killing looks like leaving no survivors like the previous village

It's getting late, and tonight the army will stay inside. Don't make it so bloody that you don't even have a serving woman

Cao Hong frowned and stared at the smoothness inside, to the point of recklessness. He couldn't help but curse twice and ordered two trusted aides to lead the team: "Go ahead, take good care of this mansion, don't let these little wolves snatch it all... and cut off a group of beautiful women with good looks from the family. It's best to choose a few mature wives and keep them with me to give to the lord

The term 'mature wife' made several sorcerers salivate, their hearts twitching, and their senses communicating: 'The Governor has worked hard all night to disguise himself as Cao Cao...'

Hehe, maybe the old man will love this mouth. It's inconvenient on the ground, and even powerless. Hehe... Can Cao Cao not enjoy the pleasure of being in his prime now

The law of aging even makes us cultivators feel sad, but in this land, we can regain our youth. No wonder the governor is reckless. He is afraid that after the land turns from yin to yang, it will only return to a weakened body and have no chance to enjoy it again

One day, break down Xuchang and capture the Empress Dowager and her daughter, as well as the two ladies of Ye Qing. Build a bronze sparrow platform to accommodate them, and see how Ye Qing looks

Haha, abandoning his wife and children is the true nature of a man in grass shoes. If you don't give Ye Qing a face, he's really treating himself as a martial artist

Most of the sorcerers under the governor's command come from aristocratic families. Watching a commoner rise to prominence in a few years and become a second tier celestial being, even holding a heavenly position and marrying the daughter of the Earth Immortal Dragon Lord, who wouldn't secretly curse, 'Why?'?

Hatred is hidden deep in the heart like a venomous snake, and on the ground, one fears the might of heaven and dare not reveal a single bit.

When they reach the underworld, the people on the ground are somewhat reckless, especially the most protected sorcerers on the battlefield. Unless unlucky, who can kill them?

Relying solely on those indigenous generals?

Uh... wait, what sound is it

The ground shook slightly, and a muffled sound was hidden in the chaos of the fortress. Several sorcerers looked at each other in confusion.

It's cavalry! They've bypassed my perimeter! "Cao Hong's face changed, and he turned around angrily," The enemy has attacked for about three miles, why didn't you scout

This is a new group of Red Armored cavalry coming to besiege this county. The speed of Youzhou horses is too fast, and Cao Hong's impression of the environment is still limited to a day ago. He doesn't know that the peripheral troops he sent to plunder everywhere no longer exist.

No... someone is covering up the army's movements! Damn it! A sorcerer has taken action! "Several sorcerers understood and were shocked, even forgetting to conceal their identities.

Cao Hong didn't care about this question and was only in a hurry to set up defenses.

Out of the three thousand soldiers from Qingzhou, two thousand were deployed for robbery, and even the commander's team went in to seize the spoils of war. At this time, there were only three hundred personal guards.

Cao Hong was busy organizing a thousand Qingzhou soldiers for defense, and the military formation in front of the fortress contracted repeatedly, retreating towards the inside of the fortress, creating a tense scene.

The sun has set, the sky is dark, and there is no Milky Way or starry sky. Only a "pu" sound can be heard, and the wind and rain coming towards us suddenly sends a chilling cold.

It's ice wind and rain! "This ice wind and rain is a water pulse technique, falling straight down in the rain. Although it didn't cause any injuries, it hit people and horses on a large scale, causing the troops to slow down immediately.

The impact of this deceleration is only one or two percent, but as the horse hooves gradually accelerate and the sight of a large group of red armored light cavalry appears, the sense of drop immediately amplifies.

This distance is enough for a cavalry to accelerate to the fastest speed with just one charge. If they want to run, they cannot escape, and if they slow down, it is difficult to adjust their formation.

Moreover, the troops of Cao only came to invade the area. Except for the generals who personally guard, the soldiers of Qingzhou are all light infantry. Not to mention their incomplete armor, they have few cavalry spears. Seeing this, many Qingzhou soldiers looked hopeless!

Upon seeing this, Cao Hong realized that there was no time to make any adjustments and quickly shouted, "Continue to retreat. The enemy only has a thousand light cavalry. If we retreat to the fortress, we can defend it

It has to be said that the handling of the situation was appropriate. General Cao Hong still has the level, strength, and prestige to suppress the turmoil, and his troops are gradually shrinking towards the fortress.

The accompanying sorcerer breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the enemy cavalry with the "yellow" flag was still two miles away.

It seems that we can still block the gap in the fortress wall in the cavalry charge, and with the two thousand Qingzhou soldiers inside, we can clear the internal resistance and station troops to defend

Pengcheng's main camp will not fail to rescue, and there is even no need for reinforcements from the main camp. This red armored cavalry is a light attack and dare not delay for too long... Ah, wait, this yellow flag

It's archer Huang Zhong, General Zilian, be careful
