You can search "The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms" on Baidu to find the latest chapter!
Why is it said that Cao Cao has a chance of escaping and ascending to heaven? It turned out to be the day before the general offensive began.
Cao Zhang, who was sent out by Cao Cao to find a way out, is finally back!
And he also brought exciting news to Cao Cao.
There is indeed a small road in the vast mountains that can bypass Liu Ke's army and advance westward.
And at the other end of the road is Pengyang County.
At this time, Pengyang County was still in the hands of Cao Jun because it was far away from the main battlefields of Yiju and Yinpan.
So as long as you get there, you can pass through the Rushui River Valley, go directly to Chaona, and then return to Wuwei and Jincheng County.
With this path, Cao Cao finally no longer worried about his own safety.
In fact, if it weren¡¯t for the heavy losses of the soldiers and horses in his hands, Cao Cao even wanted to pass through this path and bypass Liu Ke¡¯s rear.
??????????????????????????????????????.
Unfortunately, after several battles, Cao Cao's men suffered heavy losses.
The current troops and horses are only enough to resist the opponent's attack in the northern plains, and there is no way to spare the manpower to go around.
However, he finally found a way out, so that he would not be completely wiped out by the opponent. Cao Cao could finally sleep peacefully tonight.
But what Cao Cao didn¡¯t know was that an army of 50,000 men had quietly come behind him in the evening.
If Ling Tong hadn't been waiting for Liu Ke's signal, he would have attacked the camp tonight, and he might have been able to capture it in one fell swoop.
But thinking that tomorrow would be the time for the decisive battle to begin, Ling Tong finally resisted his inner impulse.
Early on the next morning, a loud and mighty horn sounded across both sides of the muddy water. This time it came from Liu Ke¡¯s camp again.
¡°It¡¯s just that these days, in order to pretend that I am about to attack, I have been following this routine every day.
At first, Cao Jun was very nervous and rushed to the muddy bank to defend.
????????????? But over and over again, Liu Ke only thundered but not rained each time, making the noise loud, but not a single soldier advanced.
This also made Cao Jun more and more careless. In the end, only a few bustling people went over to see the situation, cursed each other across the river, and then returned.
The same is true today, and no one from Cao Jun¡¯s main camp went there.
Only Cao Jun, who was ordered to be stationed at the edge of the muddy water, was left to guard the area, and only a hundred-man team was sent to check it out, led by an uncle.
The uncle muttered twice and led the team off with a dissatisfied look on his face.
I thought it would be the same as before, but when the uncle arrived at the shore, he was shocked by the sight in front of him.
He quickly rubbed his eyes, trying to make sure again that he was not awake yet and that what he had just seen was an illusion.
But sadly, everything in front of me is true.
¡°On the other side of the river, I saw densely covered flags and huge crowds of people. It was completely different from the previous scenes.
??????????????????????? Among the troops on the opposite side, there are also towering unknown instruments, pushed by the soldiers, rushing toward the river in a mighty manner.
It was only at this moment that the uncle was finally sure that the other party might not be bluffing like before today, but would be serious about it!
He quickly took out the horn from his waist and blew it as hard as he could to give an early warning.
It¡¯s just that the other Cao soldiers, just like him before, have also lost their minds in doing nothing in the past few days.
They didn¡¯t even realize what the horn meant at first.
It wasn¡¯t until the sirens rang for a full quarter of an hour that someone finally reacted.
The defenders by the river finally took action and hurried towards the river.
When Cao Jun arrived, Liu Ke's army had already begun to cross the river.
The Cao army here was under the command of Wang Tu. When he saw the enemy's strength, he was so frightened that he quickly ordered people to inform Cao Cao.
And he hurriedly defended according to the original plan.
Although according to the previous plan, Liu Ke's army was used as a feint attack.
But if the opponent does not defend, the tiger generals under his command will not be willing to let go of the opportunity to capture Cao Cao with their own hands.
Therefore, as the vanguard, Zhang Liao, Le Jin and others worked very hard, and a large army was already approaching the river.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But the muddy water is fast, and with Cao Jun¡¯s eyes on the other side of the river, it¡¯s completely unrealistic to build a pontoon bridge.
The river can only be crossed by boat.
This ship is also specially built. There is a high wooden board on the bow.To protect against arrows fired from across the river.
In the past few days, Liu Ke's entire army was mobilized, and hundreds of such troop transport ships were built overnight.
At this moment, Zhang Liao and Le Jin each took thirty ships and marched together from the upper and lower parts of the muddy water.
Wang Tu quickly ordered people to shoot arrows to stop them, but they were all blocked by the wooden planks erected on the ship, making them unable to stop them at all.
Only the rocks fired by the Thunderbolt Car can barely hit the ship and block the enemy's attack.
During this period, although there was no fighting, Cao Cao was very well prepared.
Under the bombardment of the Thunderbolt Chariot, Zhang Liao and Le Jin lost several troop transport ships in succession, and finally returned helplessly.
The first wave of attacks was finally resisted.
Before the second round of enemy attacks, Cao Cao's main army finally arrived.
It wasn¡¯t until the command here was returned to Cao Cao that Wang Tucai finally wiped away his sweat and let out a sigh of relief.
In fact, the first round of attack is also the most dangerous moment. If there is any mistake, the opponent will rush to the other side of the river.
Even if Cao Cao's army arrives by then, I'm afraid the beachhead will have been taken away by the enemy. Maybe the temporary pontoon bridge has been built, and Liu Ke's army can rush over in a steady stream.
Now that the opponent finally succeeded, even Cao Cao couldn't help but praise Wang Tu for his effective defense.
At the same time, after seeing the opponent's posture, Cao Cao immediately concluded that the decisive battle had finally begun.
As expected, according to Cao Cao's analysis, Liu Ke's army finally started the second round of attack after repairing.
This time, not only did a troop transport ship force the crossing, but several huge rocks were erected on the other side to fire back artillery fire.
"It's just that the boulder-returning cannon is really heavy, and the slope is very steep when it's within the attack range from the shore.
Transportation is also very difficult. After so much effort, it was only shipped to Wutai.
Another one lost control when going downhill, fell heavily and fell apart, making it unusable.
However, the range and power of this boulder-returning cannon far exceed that of the Thunderbolt Cart.
So you can counterattack to the other side of the river without getting too close.
Under his cover, a troop transport ship was finally able to reach the other side of the river smoothly.
It¡¯s just that Cao¡¯s army is well prepared at this moment, and there are not many soldiers transported on each ship.
Therefore, as long as we arrive, a brutal fight will inevitably occur.
The final result was that the soldiers on the troop ship were surrounded and suppressed by Cao's army, which was several times larger than his own.
Such a cycle continued, although many Cao soldiers were killed, but our own side also suffered heavy losses. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
