Reborn in the Three Kingdoms

The news of the great victory in Guanzhong soon spread to Bingzhou.However, Chen Chu did not get this exciting news.It turned out that Chen Chu had led his army to leave Bingzhou at the same time that Lu Bu's troops were attacking.At that time, Xu Shu and the [-] troops left with Chen Chu. Among them, only [-] infantry from the Hexi Army followed Chen Chu to the most difficult Huguan; At Jiguan, Chen Chu sent Xu Shu to Jiguan to supplement Guan Yu's deficiencies, so as to ensure that the defense of Jiguan would be lost. At the same time, Xu Shu also brought a complete set of battle plans.

Chen Chu led [-] infantrymen of the Hexi Army on a journey day and night, and arrived at Jiguan in only five days.

As soon as he came to Jiguan, Chen Chu couldn't help but gasped.At this moment, Jiguan is like ruins. Basically none of the houses in the pass are intact; many places in the pass are filled with black smoke; the streets and alleys are full of bloody wounded soldiers, and there are many corpses of soldiers who died in battle that were too late to deal with. They were placed in rows on both sides of the street; many people without armor were busy shuttling back and forth among the wounded soldiers. They were volunteers from the surrounding people to guard the city, but Zhang Fei did not send these people to the battlefield.

The arrival of reinforcements led by Chen Chu personally boosted the morale of the Huguan soldiers. [

As soon as he arrived at Huguan, Chen Chu immediately summoned all the generals to discuss matters without taking a rest.

"Yide, what's the current situation? How many soldiers are there in the pass?" Anxious Chen Chu asked two questions in succession.

Sitting on the left of Chen Chu is Zhang Fei, the guard of Huguan, and sitting on the right of Chen Chu is Tian Feng. Under the two of them are dozens of generals, some of whom are brought by Chen Chu, and some of them are from Huguan. generals of the various ministries.The generals who followed Chen Chu were in good spirits, but the generals who were originally stationed in Huguan, including Zhang Fei and Tian Feng, their mental state was not very good. Everyone's eyes were sunken and bloodshot full of.

Hearing Chen Chu's question, Zhang Fei replied in a hoarse voice without even thinking about it: "Now there are only more than 97 capable soldiers left in Huguan! Among them, there are only a thousand warriors who can fight the most. The rest! There are less than [-] catapults left! Half of the catapults are left! There are only [-] Hongtianlei left!".These numbers in Qilin novels are in Zhang Fei's heart all the time, and he doesn't need to think or ask at all.

Chen Chu frowned slightly and nodded, then continued to ask, "How are the city walls and gates?"

"The city gate has been knocked open twice! I have completely blocked the city gate with big stones. It is impossible for Cao Jun to enter the city through the gate! The overall condition of the city wall is not bad, but a corner was knocked down by Cao Jun, although We have already repaired it with wood and stones, but it is the weak link of the entire city wall defense! These days, Cao Jun attacked the city wall from here many times, and our army paid a high price every time to defeat Cao Jun! ", Zhang Fei replied with a frown.

After hearing these words, Chen Chu frowned even tighter.

After a pause, Chen Chu said: "I brought 60 infantry this time, including [-] Mo sword soldiers trained by our army! In addition, there are two soldiers just produced by the Martial Arts Academy. Hundred thunderbolts and [-] mace arrows!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei and Tian Feng both showed joy.At this moment, Chen Chu looked at the two of them and asked, "With these, how long do you think we can stay at Huguan?"

"Brother, with these conditions, my old Zhang Guan called Cao Cao can't pass the Huguan!" Zhang Fei patted his chest proudly and said loudly.

Chen Chu smiled, then turned his gaze to Tian Feng.

Tian Feng understood, so he immediately replied: "Although Cao's army still has more than 20 soldiers, there is no problem for our army to hold on for more than a month!"

After a pause, Tian Feng explained: "Cao's army has exhausted their vigor in the siege battle for more than a month, and their attack strength is far worse than before. However, our army has [-] fresh troops to join, and there are still more A large amount of supplies has arrived. Under such circumstances, I said that it can last for a month, which is actually a conservative estimate!"

Hearing Tian Feng's answer, Chen Chu relaxed his frown a little.

"One month! One month is enough

Now! ”

Seeing the puzzled eyes of the two, Chen Chu smiled slightly and explained: "General Wen Yuan led the [-] Youzhou Legion to attack Jizhou. I believe you all know. At that time, there will be a battle plan in the direction of Jiguan to cooperate with Wen Yuan." General Yuan's actions. If nothing happens, Yuan Shao will definitely retreat!"

When he said these words, Chen Chu looked confident and confident. In fact, Chen Chu had no bottom in his heart. Although all the battle plans against Yuan Shao were very detailed and well-planned, and they were likely to succeed, there was even more It may fail, as long as there is a problem in any link, all efforts will be in vain, especially Zhang Liao's road is a dangerous move, although Zhang Liao led the army through Youzhou to attack Jizhou. But Zhang Liao was very likely to fall into a tight siege because of this. If Zhang Liao fell into a tight siege, Chen Chu's side basically couldn't rescue him.

After hearing what Chen Chu said, Zhang Fei immediately became excited, and said in a hoarse voice, "As long as Yuan Shao retreats, we can concentrate our forces to teach Cao Cao a lesson!"

Not only Zhang Fei, but also other generals present whispered excitedly.

Tian Feng on the side was not as excited as the generals. Although Tian Feng, who was resourceful and resourceful, only heard a rough plan from Chen Chu, he saw the danger of the whole plan.

Tian Feng felt a little worried, but he didn't say it out loud. After all, such news was undoubtedly exciting news for the defenders who had fought hard for more than a month.

Everyone was excited for a while before they calmed down.

Next, Chen Chu made some adjustments to Huguan's defense.The exhausted former Huguan soldiers were withdrawn for repairs, and at the same time, the [-] fresh troops brought by themselves were divided into two groups, who took turns guarding the city wall.

Cao Cao's side didn't know about the arrival of the reinforcements from the Northern Expedition Army. Early the next morning, Cao's army still began to attack the city as usual.

The [-] Cao Jun infantry scattered widely, carrying ladders, marched forward with difficulty in the wilderness densely covered with rocks and wrecks outside Huguan Pass.

During the siege battle for more than a month, countless stones were thrown onto this wilderness, and various Cao Jun siege equipment were destroyed, making this originally flat wilderness very mottled and difficult to walk on.

Cao Jun advanced slowly, and when he reached a distance of 300 meters, the expected rain of stones fell.

Faced with these terrifying stones falling from the sky, Cao Jun didn't seem to panic. They were used to it, or they were already numb.

Cao Jun was advancing in the rain of rocks, and soldiers were knocked to the ground from time to time.

When Cao Jun advanced to only 50 meters away from the city wall, a scene that was unexpected by everyone in Cao Jun happened.The ballista, which had stopped firing a long time ago, turned out to be powerful together, and the arrow rain, which was as dense as a shower and made people breathless, slammed into Cao Jun's soldiers with a creepy whizzing sound.

Suddenly, there were screams, and Cao Jun, who was advancing on the Cao City Wall, fell down a large area in an instant like a seedling suddenly encountered a strong wind.

Cao Jun's soldiers were horrified and stopped involuntarily. However, they were frightened by Cao Cao's harsh military law and did not run back.

At the same time, Cao Cao and his generals and advisers, who were watching the battle behind, couldn't help but be surprised when they saw this scene.In their minds, in these days of battles, the bows and arrows of the Zhengbei Army should have been exhausted!How dare you use a weapon that consumes arrows like a ballista?If the arrows are exhausted, the situation for the defenders will be even more difficult!

It is true that the Northern Army has stopped using the arrow-consuming crossbow carts these days because the arrows are not enough, but the situation is different now. Chen Chu brought 60 Spike Arrows, which is enough to consume the Northern Army for a whole day. It's been a while.But about this, Cao Cao's side didn't know.

Cao Cao frowned and looked at the pass not far away that made him brain-wrenching and heart-wrenching. He hesitated for a moment before resolutely ordering: "Beat the drums! Urge the advancing army! Don't retreat!".One of the most important reasons why Cao Cao gave such an order was that he surveyed and conquered the North Army.

It may be that they want to frighten their own side with such a blow.

As Cao Cao's order was passed down, the drums of Cao's army beat more rapidly.

Hearing the sound of the battle drum, the soldiers of Cao Jun in front couldn't help but turn pale, and then a ruthless look appeared on everyone's cheeks.

Cao Jun roared, and then continued to advance. This time, Cao Jun advanced faster than before.

Next, another scene that was beyond Cao Cao's expectations appeared.I saw the ballista on the city wall fired again, and it never stopped during the distance Cao Jun advanced to the city wall. [

Under the sweep of waves of arrow rain, Cao Jun was killed and wounded.Cao Cao, who was watching the battle from the rear, looked frighteningly pale. ! ~!
