The Evolution of the Three Kingdoms Volume Chapter 118: Frontline, Behind the Scenes

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the third day, the two armies continued to fight. This time, Cao Cao learned his lesson. Without talking about the fighting generals, he directly set up a large formation. First, tens of thousands of soldiers lined up to cover, and then a shield wall was erected behind the soldiers.  Standing up, the oar shield shaped like a mountain and sea is several kilometers long and placed in front, and its momentum is very amazing.

    Li Zhe, on the other hand, doesn't want to fight another battle like yesterday. In close combat, Li Zhe cannot take advantage of his own army. It would be a waste to lose these heroes who are about to gallop around the world in the future. He has to replace them with a new one if he can't help it.  A tactic of war.

    So, today, the large square array is in a defensive position. The dragon spears are lined up like hedgehogs, defending on the front line, followed by sword and shield soldiers, and behind them are strong crossbow soldiers, all of whom are ready to prepare. But today,  The crossbowmen are destined to play only a supporting role.

    Behind the large square formation, the Perak Battalion and the Engineer Battalion were put into action. The various equipment of the Qilin Battalion were arranged one by one at the rear. The ballistae and trebuchets were set up one by one. The general attack direction was determined, and then  Stop and wait for Li Zhe's order.

    In the camp, the engineers built a high platform using giant trees, earth and cement as materials, which was more than ten meters high. There were wooden fences around it and a canopy on top, which could hold five or six people.

    Standing on this high platform, you can have a panoramic view of the surrounding area of ??more than ten square kilometers, but it is an excellent lookout. Li Zhe stood on the high platform and used a telescope to direct the battle.

    "Zilong! According to intelligence, Cao Jun also prepared a thunderbolt chariot, which is a trebuchet to deal with our army. Why are they still missing?"

    "Cao Mengde is treacherous. With such a sharp weapon, it must wait until the last moment to activate it. The things covered in the tents may be this object, but we have no way of knowing the specific location. It has not been activated.  "

    "Yeah! That's it when I think about it. This oar shield is really annoying. It stands so high that even if we stand here, we can't see anything behind it. Cao Mengde is really good at fighting.  You are very cautious!¡±

    After Zhao Yun heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry: "My lord, these words are too sinister. If Cao Laoer heard this, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. This oar shield is a headache for our army, but it is also a headache for Cao's army."  Well, if the city wall is erected like this, not to mention how expensive it is, it is also very inconvenient for Cao Jun himself. If nothing else, we can¡¯t attack and it¡¯s inconvenient for them to come out!¡±

    "Hahaha! It's true. Cao Jun's move can be regarded as tying himself up. I'm just going to see how long he can last like this."

    This oar shield is so huge that it probably weighs more than a ton. Such a huge thing can be several kilometers long, let alone hundreds or thousands. It would really cost a lot of money for Cao Jun to tie it up.  Although it was a small effort, Cao Cao's move caused huge losses, and he was really well-intentioned.

    With such a confrontation on the front, not long after, news came one after another from the surroundings that enemy troops were attacking on both the left and right wings of the camp. Li Zhe quickly took a telescope and took a look. A few kilometers away, there were indeed some changes on the far left wing of the camp. He quickly adjusted  After focusing a moment, he saw an enemy army storming towards the camp.  The same goes for the right.

    "Haha! Cao Mengde finally couldn't stand it anymore. What's the use of such a method? Our army has strong crossbows and weapons, and the camp's defenses all perform their duties. Where is the flaw? This kind of test is just a waste of effort."

    Sure enough, after a while, under the attack of the powerful ballistae of the soldiers guarding the camp, Cao Jun's offensive gradually subsided, leaving only hundreds of corpses in front of the camp gate, and retreated unwillingly.

    As for the right wing, because the rear is Ru River and the space between it and the main camp is very narrow, Cao Jun's offensive was very hesitant from the beginning. When the militia officer in charge of the defense saw this situation, he immediately called for support and transferred a group of troops.  Only regular troops opened the door together and attacked.  Cao's army was already facing an unfavorable terrain. It was defeated immediately after a single blow. An unknown number of people were thrown into the river and drowned. The remaining hundreds of people were obediently taken as prisoners.  It can be regarded as the first major victory for Li Zhezhong's army since its launch.

    "Haha! Stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice. Old Cao, Old Cao, if you don't use your trump card, when will you wait?" Li Zhe saw this situation on the high platform and felt happy in his heart. The tone of his words was  Somewhat joking.

    Li Zhe was waiting for the enemy's trump card, the catapult, to appear.

    This ancient trebuchet is actually equivalent to a modern cannon. Although it is not as powerful, its impact on morale is extremely huge. Since its appearance on the battlefield, it has become a decisive weapon in battles.

    Even at this time, Li Zhe was wary of the power of Cao Jun's trebuchets. Before the decisive battle, this strategic force of the enemy must be destroyed, which was the first priority of Li Zhe's heavy weapons troops.

    ¡­¡­

    Runan, ??After the army came out and the rear was empty, certain situations occurred in various settlements.  Reports of situations continue to come in, and many people are working together in various places, preparing to take advantage of this opportunity to invade various important places.

    Late at night, in the Ordnance Camp, the moonlight is dim.

    In the dark night, there was a rustling sound, and a group of people appeared from the avenue outside the Ordnance Camp, sneaking closer to the camp gate.

    Cuckoo!  Cuckoo!  Cuckoo!

    Three very untimely bird calls were heard, and then there was silence.

    After a while, a light came on inside the door, and the man, covered with a cloth, turned this way three times in sequence.

    There was movement immediately at the gate, and someone shouted in a low voice:

    "Hurry! Open the door quickly! Don't waste time!"

    "I heard it, don't worry, it's on!" It was also a cautious voice.

    When the door opened, a large group of people rushed in, dozens of them, with fierce expressions and sharp knives in their hands. They shouted viciously at the concierge who opened the door:

    "Are all the guards here?"

    "They are all here! They are all in the barracks. They are drunk tonight and there are no people on duty." The porter replied tremblingly.

    "Okay! Old Li! You have made a great contribution today. Don't worry, this time, glory and wealth will be yours." A man patted the concierge, Old Li, on the shoulder and said.

    Say it!  With a single pointed sword, a large group of people behind him, led by him, headed straight for the barracks of the Ordnance Battalion.

    This group of people just ran to the center of the compound with murderous intent. With a bang, the whole sky seemed to suddenly light up, making people unable to open their eyes.  Four bright searchlights suddenly lit up around the ordnance camp, illuminating the middle of the compound with bright lights.

    "Haha! Damn it! Grandpa has been waiting for you here for a long time!"

    The craftsmen who rushed in had not lost their enthusiasm when they encountered a burst of crossbow arrows and were immediately shot to death. Most of them were killed. Then the militiamen rushed forward with their spears and swords.

    "Young men! Remember to leave a few alive! Don't kill all the people." The militia general who led the team tilted his head and said to the people around him: "Haha! This time, thanks to you, finally  Catch all these guys in one fell swoop!¡±

    The little old man next to him kept bowing and bowing, very humble. When he looked carefully, he saw that it was not the old concierge, Lao Li, who was looking after the door just now!

    ¡­¡­

    Du Li, the secretary of the Logistics Department, is a middle-level clerk in Li Zhe's army who was born a yellow turban thief. He can barely reach the threshold of the upper class.  Today I was asked by the Department of Public Security to help the people in the torture room record their confessions.

    Recently, there have been frequent battles in the front of Runan County, and the rear has also become restless. The various ministries and the remaining nobles are unprecedentedly active, which makes Du Li, who has been used to a stable life in this period, feel very unhappy.  Human, what are you doing when you have nothing to do? Why don't you live in peace and contentment for a while?

    With this resentment, he came to the jail of the Department of Public Security angrily, where he heard that some spies had just been caught.

    Sitting on a chair, he and the interrogator next to him looked down at the detailed work below:

    "You! Where are you from? Whose last name is it?"

    The fine work was stripped naked, and his hands were hanging high. His whole body was beaten with blood, and it seemed that he only had one breath left.  Hearing the sound, he slowly raised his head, and two sinister eyes shot out from the gap in his disheveled hair. He looked straight over. When he saw Du Li, his eyes suddenly turned to shock.

    Du Li was shocked, and he wanted to jump up and run away. This person was clearly sent by the Prime Minister who had been in direct contact with him!

    this!  this!  this!  What to do!

    Du Li's heart was changing rapidly, and he was almost on the verge of collapse.

    "Sir! I think it's because you don't look well. Could it be that the smell in this prison is bad and you're holding it back! In the past, when some noble people came, this kind of situation often happened." The cell next to him looked at Du  Li, asked with some worry.  For gentlemen like Du Li who can write and calculate, these people at the bottom still have some heartfelt respect and awe.  Although the priests of Tianshi Dao say that under the true God, all living beings are equal, but this knowledgeable person is actually different from ordinary farmers. This is deeply rooted in people's ideas, and it will not be a short time.  Able to change.

    Du Li looked numb, tried hard to control himself, and mumbled a few words.

    "Yeah! Yeah! It's a little uncomfortable"

    what to do?  what to do?  The death row prisoner clearly recognized me with this glance just now. What would he do?  Identify me loudly?  If so, I can??It's really over!  Du Li was so anxious that he almost cried.

    "Bah!" Just when Du Li was extremely nervous, he finally said this detailed work.  "You Tianshi Dao thieves! A bunch of things without a king and a father! Sooner or later, there will be no good end. When the Prime Minister's army comes, they will turn you into powder! I will wait for you on the road to hell!"

    "And you, sir!" Du Li's heart tightened immediately when he heard the following voice: "What a piece of shit, sir! Have you forgotten the teachings of your predecessors? Respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them. Isn't this what you are doing?"  Did the ancestors who uphold the right path teach you? Bah! If you associate with a group of people who pretend to be gods and ghosts, I think you will be ashamed of your ancestors even if you go to hell!"

    "You! Don't expect anything from my mouth. Grandpa will not serve you today!" At this moment, his mouth suddenly moved, and large swaths of blood foam spit out from his mouth. He looked straight at Du Li, and it turned out to be  He showed a smile and left with relief!

    Seeing that the situation was not good, the torturers on both sides immediately rushed forward and opened the carefully crafted mouth, but they could only take out half of the tongue.  This meticulous work is so powerful!  He cut off his tongue and died!

    Several people surrounded the carefully crafted corpse, complaining incessantly, but they did not notice that Du Li's face beside them was already a frightening livid color!  (To be continued.
