Chapter 857: No harm without comparison

I have to say that Cao Cao is really visionary. He even predicted that even if he successfully confronts Dong, the world will still be in chaos.

The reason why Cao Cao worked so hard to attack the city this time was not only to gain a good reputation, but also to show his military strength to shock the princes of Yanzhou.

Cao Cao already had the intention to unify Yanzhou. If he could indirectly allow his future enemies to understand that the strength gap between the two sides could not be compensated, he could also achieve the intention of defeating others without fighting.

Cao Cao's goal has also been achieved.

When the other princes saw that Cao's army was so powerful, they were only envious except for being shocked. After all, no matter how strong Cao Cao was, it had nothing to do with them, but the princes of Yanzhou were different.

At this time, the faces of the princes of Yanzhou were very ugly. After all, with such a powerful neighbor beside him, you don’t have to think about it and know that their future life will probably not be easy.

Qin Hao saw that Cao Cao was so hard, he didn't think much except for being surprised. After all, Cao Cao was quite respectful in front of him, but when Liu Bowen whispered something in Qin Hao's ear, Qin Hao's eyes instantly became sharp.

"Lord, don't underestimate Cao Cao. This person is very scheming and will be a big problem in the future."

Liu Bowen had a gentle smile on his face, but the words he said were like the biting cold wind.

When he first joined Qin Hao, Liu Bowen was also energetic and regarded the heroes of the world as nothing, but now he dared not underestimate it because there are too many heroes in this era.

"What the military advisor reminds me is that I have never underestimated Cao Cao."

Qin Hao's eyes were full of deep expressions and said lightly: "The reason why I get close to Cao Cao is because in the short term, the two families will not have conflicts of interest. Cao Cao can also help our army bear the pressure of some of the princes of the Central Plains."

Seeing that the lord was not confused by the loyal minister shown by Cao Cao, Liu Bowen also nodded and said nothing more.

On the other hand, after Cao Cao rewarded the first order to pass the pass, the morale of the Cao army, who was sieging the city, increased greatly, and they all shouted and charged in a desperate manner.

Two hours later, someone in the Cao army siege the city finally waited for the city tower, but it was not ordinary soldiers, but Cao's general Zhou of the Shang army.

The bloodthirsty light flashed in the eyes of King Zhou of Shang, and he shouted ferociously: "All the messes of the Liang army, go to die."

"Dingdong, the "King Zhou of Shang" skill "Sword God" moves force 4, basic force 1o5, white tiger fiery sky blade 1, current force has risen to 11o."

Qin Hao was stunned when he received the prompt. He thought that Zhou of Shang had magical skills, but now it seems that he was only at the level of a god of war. The god of war with magical skills is not the same as no one.

Zhou Yin, who climbed the city tower, quickly cleared up a single area so that the soldiers behind him could make their way.

Gradually, Cao's army occupied a small position on the city tower, and after gaining a foothold, they began to move around.

Seeing that Cao's army had climbed the city tower so quickly, Yang Guang's heart skipped a beat and quickly ordered Wu Yunzhao and other generals to go and strangle them.

After all, the number of Cao's army climbed to the city tower was limited. Even if the number was still increasing, how could it be the opponent of the Liang army like a tide? What's more, Zhou of Shang was summoned by Liang army general Wu Yun.

Zhou of Shang and Wu Yunzhao were fighting hard, but only after one mistake came out, the soldiers who climbed the tower had been killed, and the gap that could not be made was also filled again.

Without the support of soldiers, King Zhou of Shang did not dare to stay on the city tower for too long. After all, this was the home court of the Liang army.

Zhou Zhou did not dare to get involved with Wu Yunzhao, but instead rushed to the city wall with a ladder. While several enemy generals had not yet chased him, he jumped down the ladder and grabbed the ladder before he was about to land.

When Wu Yunzhao rushed over and looked down, Zhou of Shang had already landed smoothly, and he even provoked Wu Yunzhao and immediately made Wu Yunzhao so angry that he was itchy.

Come whenever you want, go whenever you want. What did Zhou Zhou regard the Huzhuo as? Does the toilet?

Although he was extremely annoyed, Wu Yunzhao still had no choice but to do anything about it. After all, even if the pass is strong, it is just to block ordinary soldiers and cannot stop the God-level general.

After that, Zhou of Shang climbed up several times, and Fei Lian climbed up once, but without exception, he was bombarded by the Liang army before he gained a foothold.

Gradually, the sky became darker.

As the sun was about to set, Cao Cao ordered Mingjin to stop the attack, and also sent people to clean the battlefield and collected all the stone bombs thrown by the Liang army.

After statistics, more than 1,500 people died in the battle on the first day of the Cao army's siege, and more were naturally injured. The Liang army also died at least 500 people in the battle.

When Qin Wen defended the Yellow Turban attack, the casualty ratio was even 1 to 10 when the maximum was 1 to 10. Now the defense of Hulao Pass is even more powerful, but Cao's army can still score a casualty ratio of 1 to 3, which is already a pretty good record.

After Yang Guang counted the casualties, his face became extremely ugly.

Yang Guang also knew that his army had just suffered a major defeat, and the morale of the entire army was sluggish, while the morale of the coalition was as strong as a rainbow.

As one goes up and the other goes down, it is normal for the Liang army to have a comprehensive combat power that is not as good as the Cao army's elite.

But the one-to-three casualties were indeed a bit different from what Yang Guang expected.

You should know that Hulao Pass only has 50,000 troops, but one percent of his troops was lost on the first day of defending the city. If the coalition forces continue to attack at this intensity, wouldn’t it mean that Hulao Pass cannot defend for even 100 days?

Although Yang Guang also knew that the coalition forces could not reach the current strength every time they attacked the city, they still felt extremely stressed.

The Cao army's fierce attack not only put great pressure on Yang Guang, but also made it difficult for Liu Bei and Song Jiang to get on the verge of defeat.

"Cao Mengde, you're just cheating people now, always doing some stupid things that harm others and don't benefit yourself."

Liu Bei and Song Jiang couldn't help but curse Cao Cao in their hearts.

Cao Cao immediately raised the level of the siege to the highest level, which was so force Liu Bei and Song Jiang behind him to fight to the death!

Both of them were extremely depressed, but they had to follow Cao Cao's standards. Who made them get on the pirate ship? This time they were cheated by Cao Cao.

In the next two days, Liu Bei and Song Jiang also took the initiative. Not only did they beat drums and cheer themselves, but they also sent out their generals, but the results achieved by siege were far less than those of Cao's army.

Liu's army attacked the city in one day and killed more than 1,800 people in battle, which only caused the Liang army to lose 500 troops.

The Liangshan Army was even more unbearable. Nearly 2,000 people died in battle in one day, but the Liang army had only more than 400 casualties, resulting in a maximum casualties of 1 to 5.

There is no harm without comparison.15
