(Thank you for the Alliance! Thank you Zhao Wuxiu for 2014, ufgw, n/an, free and easy★In addition to love, the crazy dragon dances around the world, and I also want to thank Guanghui for his charter and silently give me a thumbs up.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bang! A simple drawing that had just been drawn was taken on the desk. The four generals Cao Cao, Cao Hong, Cao Ang and Han Hao sat around and watched.

Cao Cao knocked all the way: "This is the gate of Shouchun Palace. Walk straight forward, pass Huilong Road, and then pass two side halls. Walk two hundred steps forward, and the main hall is the highest point in the city and the place where Ma Han is most likely to stay. The goal of this battle is to kill here."

Cao Cao's finger returned to the origin, and a straight line was slashed and poked heavily in the main hall: "The whole journey was 800 steps. Your goal was to rush through these 800 steps and stab the halberd into the horse's brow. Who can relieve the worries of the lonely?"

Cao Hong, Cao Ang, and Han Hao stood up at the same time: "I haven't made my wish to go."

Cao Cao's eyes flicked back and forth on the faces of the three of them, and finally settled on Cao Ang, stared at his eldest son for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay! I'll give you a battalion of infantrymen, go."

Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong! The drums are so loud.

Cao Ang and fifty armored soldiers, wearing double armor, holding halberds and wooden shields, stood in front of the formation; followed by two hundred sharp men wearing two armors, one water ring-headed sword, half with shields, half with bows; behind them were four hundred long spears, no armor or shields, and more than a hundred auxiliary soldiers carrying ladders and pillars; at the end of the military formation, there were dozens of supervising teams holding heavy weapons such as axes and sterns.

Except for three white feathers inserted on his helmet, Cao Ang was unique, and other armor, weapons and shields.

Cao Ang took a deep breath, stabbed the sky with a long halberd, and shouted loudly: "The sharp men of Qiao State are invincible!" The first step forward.

"The fierce soldiers of Qiao State are invincible!"

Fifty entourages behind him shouted in unison. They quickly followed and quickly protected Cao Anghuan in the center.

The head coach's eldest son charges himself, is there anything more inspiring the morale of the army than this? The two hundred sharp soldiers and five hundred cangtou both shouted in unison, regardless of whether they were from Qiao or not. Anyway, after yelling with each other, they were full of momentum and energetic.

On the right corner of the palace city, Gao Shun was wearing a full body, carrying a double knife on his waist, holding a spear in one hand, and two majestic and cold eyes under the brim of the iron hat.

Gao Shun and his five hundred dead soldiers were the first line of defense.

Cao Ang kicked the iron plate when he first fought. However, Cao Ang didn't know at this time, he only knew two things: First, the Ma Han whom he was most afraid of was flashing people. His opponent was not Ma Han, so Cao Zixiu naturally had a double courage. Second, his opponent was Gao Shun and Xia Pi Bing.

Who was Gao Shun? When Cao's army surrounded Xia Pi, this person was tied up by his peers and presented to Cao's camp, becoming a prisoner, and almost got his head cut. Xia Pi soldiers were even defeated soldiers under Cao's army. Although they had excellent fighting skills, their combat power was doubtful. Such "soft persimmons" were not pinched. Will they be kept for the New Year?

Cao's army was fifty steps away from the Quemen. A flag suddenly appeared on the right corner of the palace city, and a rapid drum sounded.

Behind the palace walls, there were a row of armored soldiers wearing leather helmets, squid armour, and various crossbows. Almost as they appeared, the sound of strings was endless. An arrow exploded like a hedgehog, attacking the invading enemy like a dense rain.

Twist! Twist! Twist! Twist! Twist! The continuous sound of the sound made people's eardrums hurt. Armor, wooden shield, and arrows were inserted. Fifty-armored soldiers were like scarecrows, but none of them fell down. The double armor was indeed suffocating.

However, the two hundred sharp men were not so lucky to follow. The thin and worn leather armor on them could not stop the strong crossbow bows. A row of arrow rains hit and fell down immediately. The Cangtou pawn who had no armor or shields behind saw it, and there was a commotion.

When Cao Hong, who had rich combat experience, immediately rushed to the drum, grabbed the wooden hammer, and beat the drum himself. This not only boosted his morale, but also urged the battle camp to charge. As soon as he launched a charge, all his hesitation and timidity would be wrapped around, pushed and disappeared completely by the surging crowd.

Cao Ang and his entourage soldiers rushed to Luzhai first, stopped, and set up a shield to form a formation. More than a hundred soldiers behind him rushed out from the middle of the formation, and they also set up a shield to form a formation, and began to draw bows and shoot. The arrows were also very fast, but it was obvious that their enemy's armor was better, and the counterattack was very effective. Finally, the auxiliary soldiers who were hit by the Cangtou Stroke rushed out empty-handed under the threat of the supervision team, and flew past them constantly, and exerted their force to move Luzhai to resist the horse.

The defenders naturally would not let them go such a move, and the arrow immediately greeted the auxiliary soldiers.

To put it nicely, these auxiliary soldiers are soldiers, and to put it bluntly, they are recruited servants. They have not received any training or weapons, and are purely cannon fodder. Their meaning of existence is to use their lives to break out a passage.

Under the arrows, life and death are in the sky and cannot be controlled by oneself.

Someone was just lifting the horse stake and was penetrated by an arrow and vomiting blood. Someone pushed down Luzhai and was nailed to death by arrows before they could give up. Someone was lucky enough to complete the task of removing obstacles. They just turned around and ran for several steps, but were lucky but failed to continue to favor and were shot down by the scrambled arrows all over the sky...

The Cao army rushed out three batches of auxiliary soldiers, a total of more than 70 people, and in the end less than twenty people were able to escape back alive. They forced themselves to set off an attack with their flesh and blood. Of course, this does not mean that the quality of the Cao army was very good. Behind the military formation, the axes of the supervisory soldiers were stained with blood and flesh, and there were more than ten twisted corpses under their feet - these were auxiliary soldiers who did not dare to rush out of the road despite their orders.

If you don’t fight, you will die. If you fight, you will have a glimmer of hope. Everyone knows how to choose. This has nothing to do with courage and quality, but only about human survival instinct.

The roadblocks were cleaned up, and the soldiers in the palace walls stopped shooting and took out their respective weapons. They knew that next, there would be a life-and-death fight.

Cao Ang divided the charge camp into three groups, with light armored soldiers leading the formation, Cangtou soldiers following closely behind, and the heavy armored soldiers behind the palace. This division makes sense. Cangtou soldiers have the worst fighting will and equipment. It is not easy to open up the situation if they are headed. If they cannot stand it, they will be defeated and will affect the morale of the army. The heavy armored soldiers are the finale, and they cannot achieve the effect of Mount Tai to press the top too early. It is most suitable to use the light armored soldiers first.

More than 160 light armored sharp men drew their swords one after another under the sound of drums. The metal reflects, dazzling and chills frequently, and the scorching air seems to have dropped sharply several degrees.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

With the shouts of killing that resounded through the sky, the offensive and defensive battle in Shouchun began.

The wall of Shouchun Palace is not high, about 15 zhang (3.5 meters), which is equivalent to the height of a modern one-story building. You can climb over it with a ladder. Of course, before this, you need to knock down the roadblock.

Yes, as soon as they fought, Cao Ang felt that these soldiers were all blocking the road. Their previous confidence and contempt were smashed to pieces.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang! More than ten ladders slapped up the palace wall in turn. Cao Jun Ruishu held a shield and flew up. As soon as he showed his head, a sharp spear and sharp halberd was stabbed behind the wall, which was fast, accurate and fierce. Puff, the wooden shield was stabbed through. Cao Jun Ruishu was raised and he couldn't help but fall down.

The second batch of those who climbed the ladder were poked and rolled down in the same way.

It seems simple to poke and stab, but the timing and strength of the attack are just right, and it is impossible for veterans to do it.

The Cao army soldiers rushed five times in a row, killing more than 30 people in battle. Finally, they rushed up to the palace wall and jumped down. But after they found that the thick earth (preventing collisions) of the palace wall, three hundred dead soldiers in the trap were neatly arranged under the trees, forming a tight formation. The soldiers jumped down, and what greeted him was more than a dozen spears and halberds, which instantly poked into a sieve.

Cao's army had only a dozen ladders, and at most they could rush up to more than a dozen people at the same time. Even if they could break through, after jumping off the wall, everyone would have to face more than a dozen or twenty long and short soldiers. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Cao Hong rushed in, he could not resist it.

In a blink of an eye, more than half of the Cao army's soldiers were injured and killed, and the remaining soldiers were all dismayed and dared not attack forcefully.

Swhoo! Cao Ang shot an arrow and hit the door of a soldier. Although he had strong armor, he could not protect his face and covered his face and screamed and fell down.

"Cangtou Zhan!" Cao Ang roared.

Four hundred Cangtou soldiers were even more despicable. In just half an hour, they were killed by more than 400 dead soldiers in the camp who were good at attacking and defense and were defeated.

Cao Ang threw his bow and pulled his halberd, and sent his fifty armored soldiers to the trap camp.

When Cao Ang led his army to fight with the camp in bloody battle, Cao Cao was grimly looking at the combat situation carefully, and at the same time he kept receiving and analyzing various information: no reinforcements, no ambush, no secret passages, no backhand... nothing, why should Ma Han be so calm? Could it be that these five hundred dead soldiers and his general guards?

Cao Cao admitted that he had indeed underestimated Gao Shun and his camp before, which was indeed a powerful army. I still remember that when he fought with Lu Bu, he suffered the losses from the camp and was burned half of the food and grass. But no matter how strong this army was, it was limited - their number was limited. Five hundred people could defeat one thousand Cao soldiers and defeat two thousand Cao soldiers, but could they fight over three, four, and eight thousand? The same was true for the general guard with only a few hundred people.

As for Yuan Yao's palace guards, Cao Cao didn't take it seriously at all. He had fought with Yuan Shu's "elite force" and felt that way.

Cao Cao knew Ma Han and heard Xun Yu say that Ma Han's two major plot leaders Guo Jia and Xun You are so powerful. He didn't believe that with the wisdom of these people, he could not see any clues before he launched an attack... But the facts were right in front of him, Ma Han really seemed to be unprepared. There were only 1,500 war soldiers in the entire Shouchun Palace, surrounded by his eight thousand soldiers.

What is Ma Han’s idea?

Cao Hong stretched out his fingers and drew a circle in Shouchun Palace, then drew a circle around the west, south and north gates of Shouchun, and then clicked on more than 12,000 Cao troops who were sandwiched in the middle, looking up at the clan brothers and not speaking.

Cao Cao understood and murmured: "The center is blooming, surrounded by three sides - Ma Han, are you doing this idea? Haha, the idea is good, but under the bombardment of my 8,000 army, how can you bloom in the center? If the center cannot bloom, how can you encircle on three sides?"
