Chapter 792: Completely Annihilate the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry! [Seeking Monthly Votes]

In Changliu County, Donghai County, Xuzhou.

Zhang He, the commander of Xuzhou, was wearing a brand new set of steel armor and standing in front of the monitor, watching the images from the drone carefully.

Zhang Kai, the intelligence officer on the side, said:

"General, the people of Hexiang and Xue County have all fled to the direction of Tan County, and the people around Changliu County have entered the city. Our strategy of clearing the countryside has been successful. Do we have to fight to the death next?"

Zhang Kai, a master of assassination, has not only learned the use of various technological equipment at the fastest speed since he was appointed as the intelligence officer of the former army by Zhang Xi, but also took the initiative to let the people in the war zone retreat to avoid being affected by the war.

In terms of caring for the people, this old-fashioned Yellow Turban thief does have a desirable side, but he also has shortcomings. When calling on the people to evacuate, he did not forget to let the nearby noble families stay to resist Cao Cao, and those who dared to leave would be treated as deserters.

This hatred for the noble families made Zhang He laugh and cry.

At this time, Cao Cao's army was approaching, heading straight from Yanzhou to the border of the two states.

Zhang He originally planned to build a defense line in Hexiang, but the county town was dilapidated and even the city walls collapsed in several places, so it was impossible to build a defense line, so he evacuated the people and retreated to Changliu County.

Changliu County was the place where Cao Cao massacred the city in the original book. Every citizen in the city was killed by him, and the food, money, and even cloth and clothes in the people's homes were all looted by the army.

However, this time, with the imperial army, the massacre was absolutely impossible.

Zhang He looked at the screen on the monitor and said:

"Cao Cao's front army is still ten miles away from Changliu County. Tell the cavalry to wait on the earthen mound west of the city. Once you hear the explosion, charge at Cao Aman's front army."

In the past, facing the aggressive army, Zhang He would really choose to defend.

But now that we have a strong army, various technological equipment and explosives, passive defense is too weak. We have to take advantage of Cao Cao's arrival and attack first.

The reason for using explosives is to awaken Cao Cao's long-forgotten memories.

Ah Man, do you still remember Xiahou Dun who was chopped to pieces by the Mo Dao and Cao Chun who was stabbed to death by Zhang Liao in the Battle of Xingyang?

Do you still remember the cavalry running around in panic due to the explosion?

Do you still remember the ugly appearance of you holding the horse's neck and running away desperately?

Once Cao Cao's fear is aroused, even if Yuwen Chengdu's army does not take action in this battle, he can fight Cao Cao back and forth, and even drive them out of Xuzhou in one fell swoop.

At this time, a scholar in his thirties next to him bowed and advised:

"General Junyi, this plan is quite rash. If the other side comes prepared or specially designed, our cavalry may be lost by more than half and no longer have the ability to fight in the field."

The scholar who spoke was Mi Zhu. In the original book, he was the deputy governor of Xuzhou, but now the governor of Xuzhou is Zhang Xi, and Mi Zhu's status is not so high. When Xuzhou is pacified, talents like Mi Zhu need to go to Chang'an to gild before they can be reused.

Zhang He smiled and said:

"Zi Zhong is wrong. When you see the power of gunpowder, you will know how safe this plan is... Even if the other side really sets up a plan, they will be in chaos after one shot."

Mi Zhu has never seen gunpowder and can't imagine that scene.

Another scholar next to him held the opposite attitude to Mi Zhu:

"Our cavalry is well-organized, even the horses are armored. Even if the opponent is a trick, we have nothing to fear!"

Zhang He smiled and said:

"Wang County Magistrate is a scholar, but he is braver than some military generals in Xuzhou. It is really eye-opening."

Wang County Magistrate is Wang Lang. He once studied the classics with Yang Biao's father Yang Ci. He is a famous scholar. Not long ago, Tao Qian recommended him as a talented person and appointed him as the magistrate of Changliu County.

The Han Dynasty had clear regulations on county magistrates and county heads. The county with less than 10,000 households was the head, and the county with more than 10,000 households was the magistrate.

The original plan was to serve as a county magistrate for one year, then be transferred back to Tan County to serve as a clerk in the state government, and then go to Guangling and other places to serve as a prefect.

Now that the one-year period has not yet arrived, Cao Cao took the lead and attacked. Wang Lang had to defend the city and mobilized the people in the city to reinforce the city wall.

In the original novel of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Wang Lang was a supporting role, but because he was scolded to death by Zhuge Liang, Wang Lang has since gone down in history and has become a frequent visitor to the ghost animal area, with all kinds of jokes emerging one after another.

Even Sun Facai couldn't forget him and wanted to roll up his sleeves and scold him to see if Wang Lang had any diseases such as myocardial infarction.

Well, it was purely for a physical examination, not just to scold people.

Zhang He led his army here to see Wang Lang, and his mind unconsciously recalled Zhuge Liang's scolding of Wang Lang.

It should be said that Zhuge Liang's thinking talent and logic are top-notch. Wang Lang presented facts and reasoned, and cited many examples to prove that the Han Dynasty was about to end, and fighting would only waste people's money and effort.

Zhuge Liang did not refute this point, but followed his words and started to curse. The core content was:

"The Han Dynasty is about to end, all because of you disloyal and unfilial people."

Wang Lang took great pains to make a spear, but before he started to attack, Zhuge Liang grabbed it and stabbed it into Wang Lang's heart.

The reason why this verbal battle is wonderful is that Zhuge Liang did not fall into the trap of self-proof, but went a step further to dig out the root cause of the Han Dynasty's end.

This is not only a dispute of political ideas, but also a collision of top brains.

However, Wang Lang was scolded to death by Zhuge Liang because of one wrong move.

Now Wang Lang is only in his thirties, and he is still a good son who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He took out a piece of paper from his arms and said solemnly:

"I am the magistrate of Changlu County. Now that the army is invading, I naturally have to protect and govern the people... I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep last night. I wrote some words to curse Cao Amo. If there is a chance, I would like to ask General Jun Yi to fulfill it. I will give it to you. Scold him hard!"

Zhang He: "..."

Good guy, Zhuge Liang didn't scold you, but you started scolding Cao Aman.

An employee from the state capital reminded:

"Magistrate Wang is so provocative, aren't you afraid of Cao Aha's revenge?"

Wang Lang pointed to the big knife at the door and said:

"If he dares to come, I will mount my horse with my sword and chop off Cao Ah Mao's head with my own hands!"

Even though Wang Lang was a scribe and was scolded to death by Zhuge Liang, he was both civil and military. In the original work, he once fought against Taishi Ci and was a fierce opponent.

In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there are several characters who look like literati, but are actually fierce generals.

In addition to Wang Lang, Sima Yi also described a battle with Xiao Guan Yu Wei Yan, and the battle was not close. Wei Yan pretended to be defeated and retreated, but Sima Yi actually raised his sword to pursue him.

How confident does this guy have to be that he dares to chase after a general with a force value of over 90 points?

Soon, Cao Cao's front army got closer, led by Cao Cao's younger brother, Cao Ren, who was known as the Kaleidoscope of Attack.

Mi Zhu, Wang Lang and others came to the tower and prepared to watch the cavalry attack from a distance.

Zhang He quietly left the city and joined the cavalry troops on the nearby hills, intending to surprise Cao Cao's former army.

As soon as he reunited with the front army, Zhang He heard the order conveyed by Zhong Yao on his walkie-talkie:

"General Jun Yi, the Chang'an headquarters requires you to kill a relative of Cao Cao. You can choose between the Cao family and the Xiahou family."

Zhang He instantly guessed Chang'an's intention:

"Are you worried that Cao Aha and I will form a clique for personal gain in the future?"

Zhong Yao did not deny this:

"Even if Cao Cao is allowed to join the imperial court, some of his clan members will have to be eradicated as punishment. If you have any objections, you may not execute this order for the time being, but I cannot guarantee whether Fengxiao will investigate you."

Zhang He smiled silently.

Now that it's over, there's no need to carry Fengxiao out, right?

Think about it, both Dian Wei and Zhang Liao killed Cao Cao's clan members respectively. If he wanted to lead the army independently, he would have to have a blood feud with Cao Cao.

Zhang He accepted this order:

"Before this battle ends, I will definitely kill a Cao family member."

After ending the call, he picked up the tiger head gun and wiped it again and again. Since getting this tiger head gun made of impact steel, he has never seen blood. Since he is going to charge today, he naturally has to use blood to make a profit!

Soon, Zhang Kai’s report came over the intercom:

"General, they are already within ten miles. How about I lead the charge and you stay in the city. How can the commander charge and the deputy guard the house?"

Zhang He said with a smile:

"I haven't fought in a long time, and my hands are itchy... You should be prepared in the city. If there is an emergency, handle it in your own way."

The reason why Zhang Kai was kept in the city was because Wang Lang was from a wealthy family and Mi Zhu was powerful. Zhang Kai and these two people naturally had nothing to deal with. If these two people had any ideas, they would definitely not escape Zhang Kai's eyes.

Well, even though he is one of his own, Zhang He's caution has not changed. He doesn't want to fight bloody battles in the front while secretly poking at the city from behind.

At this time, news came from the artillery:

"General, the enemy has entered the artillery attack range, please give instructions!"

Zhang He gave the order without hesitation:

"Fire the cannons! Fireworks and firecrackers are launched simultaneously. Try to make as much noise as possible."

At this time, Cao Cao's former army was still marching towards Changlu County with its head down.

Cao Ren, the former captain of the army, asked Cao Xiu next to him:

"How is Brother Zilian's health?"

After Cao Chun was killed by Zhang Liao, the leader of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was Cao Xiu, the Thousand Mile Horse of the Cao Family.

Cao Xiu is Cao Hong's disciple. After Zhang Liao killed Cao Chun last year, he met Cao Hong again. The two fought together. Zhang Liao struck Cao Hong on the back with his sword. If Cao Hong hadn't been wearing two layers of armor, he would have been sent to Zhang Liao on the spot. Gone to hell.

When Cao Ren asked about his father, Cao Xiu sighed:

"My body has completely recovered and is even better than before, but the root of the disease is left behind. I tremble all over when I hear the loud noise... That battle was so tragic that many people have not come out yet."

When Cao Ren heard this, he couldn't help but beat his breastplate:

"What a coward. If I see those people again, I will cut them in two!"

Cao Xiu also followed suit and set up FLAG:

"If he can help his uncle get revenge in the future, he will have no regrets even if he dies!"

While the two were encouraging each other, a scream came quickly from a distance.

This voice evoked bad memories of Cao Ren and Cao Xiu, and they both shouted at the same time:

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

"Prepare for war!"

However, it was of no use. When the artillery shells flew over and exploded, the entire front army was suddenly in chaos, especially the tiger and leopard cavalry that Cao Cao was proud of, running wildly in all directions, without control at all.

On the city wall, Mi Zhu looked at this scene with a telescope, her hands shaking:

"The power of a single shot is so terrifying?"

Wang Lang was so excited that he held on to the city wall and recited "The Great Wind". He became extremely excited. He had imagined the power of the cannonballs as much as possible, but it was only after seeing the actual battle that he realized that he had underestimated this thing.

Only Zhang Kai found it unsatisfactory and picked up the walkie-talkie and asked:

"Why just one cannonball?"

The artillery responded from the intercom:

"General, the last shot was a calibration test, and the next one will officially begin."

As soon as the voice fell, explosions sounded one after another at the location of Cao Cao's front army ten miles away.

Explosion shells, fragmentation shells, incendiary shells, white phosphorus shells, steel sand shells...all kinds of shells hit the position, and all the war horses of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry ran wildly in response. Many cavalrymen were thrown off their horses and then trampled into meat paste by the horses behind.

The horses were in a panic, and the people were even more chaotic.

They had never seen such a scene. The deafening explosion reminded them of rolling thunder, and some veterans even had bad memories.

When they were chasing Dong Zhuo, they encountered rolling thunder. Now they encountered the imperial army again, and the thunder came in an instant.

What does this mean? It means that the national destiny is on the side of the imperial court.

What the fate of the Han Dynasty is about to end, what the Cao family can replace the world, what the Yan Han will be destroyed and the Cao family will rise, this is simply eunuchs talking about beauties - nonsense!

Cao Ren and Cao Xiu desperately organized the cavalry and asked everyone to take up arms and fight.

They finally gathered a group of defeated soldiers and heard thunder again, but this time it was not artillery shells, but the imperial cavalry led by Zhang He rushed from the distant earthen mound.

Five thousand black-armored cavalry, wearing black masks, rushed at full speed, and the deterrent force they burst out was frightening. The defeated soldiers who had just been organized saw this scene and immediately fled.

Even if Cao Ren and Cao Xiu had a thousand skills, they could do nothing in the face of this situation.

The two also planned to take Changliu County before Cao Cao arrived, massacre the people in the city, and let the people of Xuzhou see the fate of resisting Cao's army.

As a result, the whole army was defeated before they even touched the edge of Changliu County.

The two of them didn't have time to think about it, so they turned their horses around and gathered the fleeing soldiers. Otherwise, if they were allowed to run to the rear, they might even take the central army with them.

One fleeing soldier could take away ten, and ten fleeing soldiers could take away a hundred. If they continued to flee like this, even the military gods would be powerless.

The two commanders turned around, and the defeat became even more complete. Everyone fled to the rear desperately, fearing that they would be trampled into meat paste by the sudden black-armored beast.

As Zhang He walked, he contacted Zhang Kai on the intercom:

"Have you found their commander?"

"General, we have found them. There are two of them. According to the photos taken by our intelligence department, the one with the red cloak is Cao Ren, and the one with the green cloak is Cao Xiu. They seem to have turned their horses to gather the fleeing soldiers."

When he heard that there were two Cao clan members, Zhang He immediately became excited:

"Take the twelve o'clock direction in front of me, and use the drone to guide me. I want to kill a commander in this battle!"

Zhang Kai was overwhelmed by Zhang He's boldness. The passion made Zhang He excited:

"General, you are so awesome. It is a great honor to serve under you... I will personally guide you and ensure that you can kill those two bastards!"

At this time, the drone team interrupted the channel:

"General, Cao Ren and Cao Xiu have been locked. Do you need us to drop gasoline through drones?"

Zhang He refused:

"No, I will personally kill these traitors!"

After Zhang He finished speaking, he kicked his horse's belly and followed the drone all the way north.

Not long after, he saw Cao Ren in a red cloak and Cao Xiu in a green cloak. There were dozens of cavalrymen following them. Most of these cavalrymen had heads hanging on their horses. Judging from the style of the headbands, they were not the heads of the imperial army, but the heads of the people along the way.

Killing innocent people to take credit... These four words flashed in Zhang He's mind instantly.

After receiving the order conveyed by Zhong Yao, Zhang He felt a little guilty, but when he saw that Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was blatantly using the heads of the people to claim credit, the guilt in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Kill my people of the Han Dynasty, and when the king comes, I will also leave your lives as compensation!

At this time, Cao Ren and Cao Xiu had already seen Zhang He, and the two tried to get rid of the pursuers by detouring, but no matter how they detoured, Zhang He followed them like a shadow, and even closed the distance in the process of detouring.

Seeing that he could not get rid of the pursuers, Cao Xiu shouted:

"I will cover the rear!"

After saying that, he turned his horse's head and went to meet Zhang He without waiting for Cao Ren to refuse.

The cavalry behind him saw it and also separated half of them to follow Cao Xiu to cover the rear, buying time for Cao Ren to escape.

Soon, Zhang He collided with Cao Xiu.

The two men didn't say anything, but raised their weapons and started to attack. Just as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry that followed them were about to help, the cavalry behind Zhang He had already surrounded them.

Zhang He lifted the visor of his helmet and asked:

"Cao Xiu?"

Cao Xiu nodded:

"It's me!"

After confirming his identity, Zhang He pointed his gun at the head of the Tiger and Leopard on the back of the horse and asked:

"But are they the heads of the people?"

Cao Xiu said with a look of arrogance:

"As Yanzhou people, they tried to seek refuge in Tan County. I have ordered them to be executed. Do you have any objections, General?"

Zhang He held up the Tiger Head Gun and cursed uncivilizedly:

"Fuck your mother!"

After that, he directly used Zhou Tong's self-created spear technique, and wave after wave of killing moves to greet Cao Xiu.

After Zhou Tong's life was extended, he realized the spearmanship of "Live to Death" and passed it on to several disciples. Yue Fei passed it on to Lu Bu and others. Lu Bu, in line with the principle of "everything is better than nothing", passed it on to all the spear masters in the Three Kingdoms world.

"Live to Death" is not fancy, but every move is aimed at the vital point.

Cao Xiu was flustered by this change and began to make excuses for himself:

"What does it have to do with you if I kill the people under Duke Cao's rule?"

Zhang He stabbed his thigh with a spear, then thrust it again, and blood suddenly spurted out:

"The whole world is Han, how can you, these rebellious officials, have the dignity to claim justice? Kill my Han people, and I will definitely help them get justice!"

Cao Xiu screamed in pain and was about to fight back when he was stabbed in the shoulder again.

Then his ribs, lower abdomen, left chest... Zhang He regarded him as a scarecrow practicing marksmanship, with holes all over his body.

By the time he finished the entire set of marksmanship, Cao Xiu's blood had already dried up, and he fell heavily from his horse, like a ball of rags, with no life left.

The Cao family's Qianliju died like this.

Zhang He shook off the blood on the gun tip and waved his hand at his cavalry:

"Kill all the tiger and leopard knights, leaving no prisoners!"
