Chapter 256 Guandu Water Battle (1)
Yuan Shao's navy is getting closer and closer. From the conversation with Yuan Shao, he can only hear the sound. Until now, he can almost see the ferocious look on the faces of the enemy opposite. It is fake that Cao Cao said he was not nervous. After all, the strength is very different. He only has 30,000 navy troops in his hand, while Yuan Shao has 100,000!
Although Yuan Shao's navy is a second-rate navy, Cao Cao's own navy is not an elite. Yuan Shao's navy was used to recruit fishermen from Jizhou, Qingzhou. Less than half of these people have been on the battlefield. Cao Cao himself is not much better. He is using the army to recruit. Although these 30,000 people have been on the battlefield, there are still a lot of land ducks in the past few months! It is not a big blame for Cao Cao. Cao Mengde has always fought an army battle, from attacking Xuzhou to attacking Yuzhou, from attacking Tao Qian to attacking Liu Paopu. That battle was not a land battle! When did he, Cao Cao, he, Cao Cao, had been fighting a war of the army.
After fighting a water battle, Yuan Shao from Hebei was so good that he was almost wearing the same pair of pants. How could he be careful of his own people? The two sides of the Yellow River were connected. Cao's army could cross the river directly under the banner of Cao Cao, without Guan Die. Even Yuan Shao's army could provide food and grass. The two alliances fought against the alliance between Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian and Yuan Shu. Now Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian and Yuan Shu are all dead. Xuzhou and Youzhou are also divided by Lao Cao and Yuan Shao. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. If Yuan Shao wants to compete for the Central Plains, he must go to Yanzhou and Xuzhou. These two places are in the hands of Cao Cao.
Cao Mengde has the heart of a king and domineering person, how could he give up the territory he got? Then let’s fight!
"Fengxiao, if Cao unfortunately defeated and died, please return to Fengxiao Xu Du took Cao's wife and his brothers to surrender!" Cao Cao originally wanted Guo Jia to take his family to surrender to a prince. But after thinking about it, Cao Cao suddenly smiled bitterly. The imperial family was ruthless. He, Cao Cao, worked hard for most of his life, and there was really no prince in the world to rely on. All the princes were offended by Cao Cao.
Several neighbors nearby, Liu Bei, are not trustworthy! He treats him like a brother and a friend, but he is betrayed in the end. Cao Cao drove Liu Bei out of Xuzhou, and there is Zhang Xiu from Wancheng, haha! Zhang Xiu killed his eldest son. Lao Cao had the heart to kill Zhang Xiu, and Lao Cao also slept with Zhang Xiu's aunt, the two families of the Crow family. There is really no possibility of solving it. Next is Lu Bu's army! Hehe Cao's Xu Du's own Cao's mansion is still hanging a weapon called Fang Tian Hua Ji in his Cao's mansion. The Red Rabbit Horse was rewarded by Lao Cao to Guan Yu, but Lao Cao had fought with Lu Bu for many years.
Liu Biao in Jingzhou? Liu Biao was afraid that he would be good, but if his family fell into Liu Biao's hands, Liu Biao would never show mercy. Sun Ce in Jiangdong? Cao Cao was not familiar with him. His father Sun Jian and Cao Cao knew him, but his father had been dead for many years. How could he still have a relationship with Sun Ce in Jiangdong? If it was really possible, it would be him! Cao Cao didn't know why he thought of the young man wearing golden armor.
"Why should lord say such unlucky words? I, Cao's army, will win this battle!" Guo Jia's eyes were very firm. It was indeed almost the last battle of their Cao army. If he lost, then Cao Cao's army would really leave the stage of this troubled times. Cao Cao, the lord, lost on this ship, everything would be done. If he won, he could still deal with it for some time. Because it might be the final decisive battle, Guo Jia also boarded the warship. If he failed, then he would accompany his lord Cao Cao to the bottom of the mother river!
"Haha, yes, my Cao army will win!" Guo Jia's firm expression also infected Cao Cao, and Cao Cao cheered up. Who is Cao Cao? He is a man who will never give up. Cao Cao has experienced a lot of life and death. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was surrounded by most of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. That was because Dong Zhuo's improper command, and the Han army also changed generals in the last battle, which led to the defeat. If Cao Cao had not brought two brothers to the family, he might have been trapped in the chaos. After that, he was almost killed by Dong Zhuo's ambush troops. If Cao Chun had not let the war horses go off, Cao Cao might have died, and there were many people who were on the verge of death in the later battles, such as the war in Wancheng and the storm of Lu Bu in Xia Pi. However, Cao Cao survived again and again. It was not that Cao Cao would not die, but that Cao Cao could not die. His strong desire to survive allowed Cao Cao to always exert his super strength.
"Fengxiao, I said if, if, if you are really hungry until then, go find the person from Shouchun!" This was the last sentence Cao Cao said to Guo Jia before the war, because the next battle was to fight to the death.
"That person!" Guo Jia also knew who that person was, but he didn't know why his lord always mentioned that person. Guo Jia didn't have time to think too much, Yuan Shao's army was approaching Cao's army.
"Capture Cao Cao alive and be granted the title of Marquis of Wanhu!" Military orders came from Yuan Shao's army, Marquis of Wanhu, this is really a good thing. He has a fief of ten thousand households and a title of marquis. This is the basis for the generations of Dukes and Marquis. Yuan Shao really put the capital into his capital.
Such a stimulating Yuan Shao's troops burst out with amazing combat power, and the warships under their crotch actually exerted a lot and rushed towards Cao's army one by one.
Now, in the hearts of those Yuan Shao soldiers, Lao Cao was to be promoted and rich. If Cao Cao was taken, he could really win his wife and children. From then on, he left the civilian era and fought for one or two generations. As long as he was not defeated, he would definitely be a gentry again.
"Wanhuhou? Let's see if you have the life to get it!" Cao Cao was very cold. He could show his weak mentality towards Guo Jia and his fragility under strong pressure. However, when facing the soldiers and those Cao army soldiers, Cao Cao always showed a kind of perseverance. He wanted to tell these people who fought for his Cao family that Cao's army was invincible, and victory would definitely belong to Cao's army. As the lord, he should not panic. The role of the lord is the morale of the army.
One thousand steps, nine hundred steps, eight hundred steps, seven hundred steps, five hundred steps, four hundred, three hundred, Ju Su, who was on Yuan Shao's flagship, finally breathed a sigh of relief, because Cao Cao's navy really couldn't escape, and Cao Cao's army could not escape at all in this full pursuit. Cao Cao's warships were all fighting horizontally, and even if there was any ambush at this time, he could not join the battle again. It can be said that the result of the battle had already come out. As long as he rushed forward, the bow and arrow hit, then it would be a battle on the sidelines and boarded those warships, the ending of Cao's army was destined.
Ju Su’s idea is good. Indeed, as long as you board those warships at this time, Cao Cao will be really done. The 30,000 navy troops will not last long after being attacked by a hundred thousand troops, but you have to get close to it!
"The Cao army has given up!" It has reached 300 steps, but Cao Cao's army is still motionless, and the impact of the warship is quite strong. The first wave of the fleet that can occupy the limelight can even determine the result of a normal battle.
Two hundred and eighty steps "Win the string!" Cao Cao's order was issued, and the flags on the flagship started to whirl up, and all the warships started to move, and each warship carried out huge objects from each warship. Each warship had three.
"That's it?!" Ju Su and Yuan Shao were both watching Cao Jun's movements, that huge thing?
"Bed Crossbow!" Yuan Shao and Ju Su looked at each other and recognized this thing. Youzhou and Bingzhou were both outside the frontier. How could Yuan Shao not recognize this thing? There are this thing in many cities outside the frontier. This thing was invented in the Qin and Zhao. It was mainly used in the frontier areas. The impact of a bed crossbow is very large for foreigners. The foreigners lack salt and iron, and their iron products are all made of horses. Fur and herbs are exchanged with the Han people. Most of the people wearing leather armor, and some do not have armor directly. In this way, the penetration power of the bed crossbow on them is really to a certain extent. Generally, a huge arrow from a bed crossbow can be stringed up like a candied haws. Therefore, this big object has become a weapon of the border. But it was more than a hundred years ago. Now, the more popular thing in the border areas is to use cavalry.
Fighting against those foreign tribes, Huo Qubing and Wei Qing made the Han famous intimidate China and abroad. The same idea he brought to the Han was that to deal with these nomadic peoples, he could only use cavalry to confront them. Although the Han people were not as good as those born on horseback in foreign tribes, my Han people had command. They played heavy armored cavalry from light cavalry and Sinan. This thing can find direction in some desert grasslands outside the frontier. Moreover, since Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, the entire Han Han had a martial spirit, so all the generals of the Han wanted to seal the wolf Juxu like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. The result was that good generals and elite cavalry troops could always appear in the border areas, such as the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, such as the white horse Congyi and the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. These heavy armored cavalry traversing in troubled times were tempered from the repeated battles with foreign tribes.
Therefore, the effect of the bed crossbow is much smaller. It is more deterrent than practicality. It is available in Youzhou, Bingzhou, but the one I had at the age of 40 years ago. The metal made on it was rusted and the wood began to rot. Only the general rack was placed there!
Now that this thing appeared on Cao Cao's ship, Yuan Shao felt strange. What exactly did Cao Cao want to do? Use a bed crossbow to deal with his naval army? Is Cao Cao's head water in! The bed crossbow is huge and heavy, and it occupies the displacement of the warship. Moreover, it is very difficult to pull the bowstring, and it takes dozens of strong men to pull it open. The crossbow outside the frontier can only shoot a hundred steps, and its power can only hurt more than a dozen soldiers and attack it at one time, which is not as good as a bow and arrow! Yuan Shao laughed at this moment.
Cao Cao immediately told Yuan Shao that his brain was not funny, and he had two hundred and fifty steps. Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and a stern murderous aura rose up and said, "Let it go!" Cao Cao was a general, and he fought many times. He even had martial arts skills in himself. He had no skills at hand. How dare he assassinate Dong Zhuo? Dong Zhuo is also a military general and has many times in personal expeditions. However, now he is not young in his middle-aged spirit, so he gradually withdrew from the battle in front of the formation, but this did not affect Cao Cao's killing aura.
The ten warships in the first row immediately cut off the bowstrings on the crossbow, and giant arrows made a buzzing sound and shot out the air.
Ten warships were thirty bed crossbows, and one shot was thirty giant arrows. All of these giant arrows showed their hideous faces and rushed towards the opposite Yuan Shao warship. Although the crossbow in Cao Cao's hand was just a simple version, or even an incomplete version, because the person who really designed him was already in Shouchun, and what Guo Jia got was only a drawing, which was imitated by finally finding a craftsman. Therefore, no matter in range or penetrating arrows, they were more than one level lower than the crossbows in Lu Bu's army.
Even the Jiangdong Navy and Jingzhou Navy are not as good as those in the hands of the Jiangdong Navy. If Liu Mang is using the third-generation bed crossbow now, then the Jingzhou Liu Biao and Jiangdong Sun Ce are the second-generation. Both sides may have their own experts to modify and have reached the level of the second- and a half. Now Cao Cao can only be considered one- and a half-generation. He can load two giant arrows, with a range of only two hundred and fifty steps, and his penetration ability is not as high as those crossbows. At best, it is much stronger than the old antiques outside the border. He can be considered one- and a half-generation, so he is naturally stronger than his predecessors.
The first wave of arrow rain has already told Yuan Shao a truth, that is, even if it is an old antique, even if it has faded out of the historical stage for hundreds of years, it can still allow you, Yuan Shao, to have a good pot.
