"Big brother, when will you go out of the city to kill the enemy, the soldiers have recovered" Early in the morning, Zhang Xiong came to Wu Shun to ask for battle.
In Zhang Xiong's opinion, Wu Shun is too cautious, and with the strength of Cao Cao and Zhou Yu now, it is really not worth it.
"Second brother, don't be in a hurry, you must know that sharpening the knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter, our knife, the sharper it is, the better."
Wu Shun said.
It is now the fifteenth year of Jian'an, and the New Year is spent in Xuzhou.
It's just that this made the people of Xuzhou cry, affected by the war, living in dire straits, and being able to live is a gift from God, as for celebrating the New Year, there is really no interest.
Throughout January of the fifteenth year, except for the occasional battle of the Wuling Army in the camp of the coalition army, the two sides were in a tacit confrontation.
It seems that this New Year, I don't really want to fight In fact, Wu Shun wanted to carry out a surprise attack, but was stopped by Xu Shu and others who arrived later.
It's just that the weather is too cold for large-scale operations.
And some small battles can't affect the overall situation, so it's better to let the soldiers rest well and wait until the weather warms up before striking at the coalition forces.
The coalition forces did not take the initiative to attack because they were afraid of being ambushed, and the weapons of the Wuling army were too powerful, which made people unable to defend themselves, did not dare to attack, and were reluctant to retreat.
It can only be stalemate there In February of the fifteenth year of Jian'an, the climate began to warm up and was no longer so cold, and the Qingdragoon of the Wuling Army had resumed training to prepare for the upcoming counterattack.
Wu Shun really couldn't stand the generals' request for battle, and finally decided to launch an offensive against the coalition camp in the middle of the month.
With the time to counterattack, the legions are all gearing up The gunners of the Vermilion Bird Legion wiped the Pu Yuan cannon every day, and the inside and outside were extremely bright, waiting to make new contributions with this big killing weapon.
The various movements of the Wuling Army have already made Cao Cao and Zhou Yu get the news.
They weren't ready to attack Xuzhou City yet, Wu Shun wanted to attack their camp first, this couldn't be tolerated anyway, they should be the main attacker.
Several major legions of the attacking Wuling Army were there, and there was no chance of victory The artillery of the Suzaku Legion, the giant crossbows, the repeaters, the catapults, are enough to cause a headache In the end, Cao Cao and Zhou Yu sadly found that they didn't seem to have any advantage except retreat.
But retreating is really unwilling When there is no continuation, it will be disturbed When the coalition forces were uncertain, the Wuling army had already prepared everything.
On February 15, the fifteenth year of Jian'an, the Wuling army left Xuzhou City, and the spearhead was directed at the coalition camp twenty miles away.
The coalition scouts got the news and hurriedly returned, and Cao Cao and Zhou Yu were also in the camp and prepared for battle When they came to the coalition camp, the two sides did not say anything superfluous all the way, and the artillery distance was just right, so Wu Shun ordered Pu Yuan to attack.
He's at war, not here to catch up.
As soon as the cannon sounded, a great battle began Pu Yuan Cannon kept spitting out shells, constantly attacking the coalition camp, and from a distance, you could see that the camp in the distance was in disarray, and people were turning on their backs If the main target of the Pu Yuan cannon is the enemy, then the target of the catapult is some obstacles set up by the coalition forces, such as rejecting horses, such as camp gates and arrow towers The Wuling Army advanced smoothly all the way, and the long-range weapons showed their muscles one by one After the giant crossbow stopped, arm-thick crossbow arrows shot into the coalition camp, causing a burst of exclamations.
And the repeater crossbow directly shot most of the archers prepared by Cao Cao to death The coalition forces could not stop the offensive of the Wuling army Lu Guo's thunderbolt was very powerful, but after only firing a position, it was directly blown up by the Puyuan cannon Cao Cao and Zhou Yu watched their arrangement being beaten down by Wu Shunman's unreasonableness, and they were very upset.
Now, they can only rely on the big camp to have a hard-to-head battle with the Wuling army.
However, this is exactly what Wu Shun wants.
Seeing that the coalition forces did not flee, Wu Shungao glanced at Cao Cao and Zhou Yu, but they didn't run, and Wei Yan's cavalry became an ornament for the time being.
I knew how good it would be to use it directly to impact the camp However, the ability of the personal guard battalion to charge the camp is not weaker than that of the Green Dragon Cavalry, and the reason why Wu Shun wants to run over all the way with foot soldiers is that he is afraid that Cao Cao will dig a horse pit in front of the camp.
Trapping the horse pit is a very damaging means, it is not digging down directly, but turning down, as long as the horse steps on one, 100% reimbursement The cavalry charge was that the front war horse stepped on the horse pit, and the consequences were disastrous For the sake of the safety of the guarded battalion, Wu Shun asked the White Tiger Legion to push all the way to the front of the camp and even rushed the camp gate with foot soldiers After filling in all the traps in front of the camp gate, the first charge of the pro-guard battalion began The foot soldiers have sat for them enough, and now is the time to see what they are capable of The sound of rumbling horses' hooves was heard, and the foot soldiers quickly parted like two sides, making way for the cavalry.
Between the two columns of guards came side by side, and in the middle of the two columns of cavalry, a crashing log hung in the air Two columns of cavalry dragged the rope and moved the guard battalion with the bumper wood at great speed, trying to break open the coalition camp gate in this way "Three, two, one release" Qu A order, the two rows of soldiers who rushed forward at great speed struggled to pull the rope back, when the collision wood came to the highest point that could be reached, quickly moved forward, and at this time, the soldiers let go of the rope, and the collision wood followed the huge inertial force, suddenly rushed out of the two columns of cavalry battalions, and hit the camp gate heavily The camp gate, which was not very strong, was knocked open in an instant, and the coalition soldiers in the rear were even knocked into one piece, and many people were killed on the spot "Soldiers, rush in" The door of the camp opened, Qu A no longer hesitated, and directly took the lead, leading the guard battalion to rush in.
Xu Chu, whose injuries had not yet healed, saw Qu A's fierce momentum, and despite Cao Cao's dissuasion, he resolutely rushed forward with the Tiger Guards, wanting to intercept Qu A, and block the camp gate to prevent the Wuling army from pouring in.
The infantry blocked the cavalry, and it was Wu Shun's heavy cavalry, and the huge impact and penetration allowed Qu A to directly break through the interception and crash headlong into the large array of the Lu Guohu Guards who were rushing to support.
The Tiger Guards are no better than other coalition soldiers, they belong to Cao Cao's personal guards, they are well equipped and have strong combat power, and there is Xu Chu as commander, and the Tiger Guards are very brave.
After the guard battalion broke through the interception in front, the impact weakened a lot, and when it ran into the Tiger Guards, it was stopped.
When Qu A saw Xu Chu attacking, his fighting spirit rose, and he raised his gun to fight with Xu Chu.
Seeing this, the soldiers spontaneously formed a multi-person offensive battle formation and became entangled with the Tiger Guards The guard battalion was stopped, and Wu Shun was not in a hurry, because Gao Shun and the White Tiger Battalion had also begun to charge, and at this time they had already rushed into the enemy camp.
Against the allied soldiers who were also foot soldiers, the advantage of the White Tiger Battalion was too great, and as soon as they rushed with their shields, stabbed with spears, and waved their swords, the enemy on the opposite side could only be beheaded.
Fighting head-on with the White Tiger Battalion, the coalition forces lost badly:
