"Could it be that the Han army can fly into the sky and escape from the ground?"
Until Dong Zhao finally uttered a sentence unconsciously.This sentence suddenly caught the eyes of Cao Cao and Guo Jia.
"Is it authentic?"
The two exclaimed in unison, and then Cao Cao asked urgently: "Wen Yuan, is there such a possibility?"
Zhang Liao was stunned when he heard the words, and he couldn't figure out why.But I never thought about tunneling, because in this era tunnel attacking cities is common.
Just dig a tunnel or something, just attack and go in.However, this kind of thing is not often done now, because it has happened too many times, and the defenders of the city are very vigilant about this kind of thing.
Generally, many people are sent to patrol the city walls, and the result is the tactic of digging tunnels, with a very low success rate.
Digging tunnels to attack the city is a common thing, but digging tunnels to attack the camp is something that has never been heard of.Because the city is standing still, but the camp may be moved at any time.
If you dug halfway through the tunnel and the enemy camp has already left, wouldn't it be a waste of time?In addition, the defense of the general camp is relatively strict, and there are more spies outside the camp.
The digging of the tunnel is getting closer, and I am afraid that it will be inquired by the enemy's spies. If it is used instead, it will be terrible.And if the authentic digging is far away, how much time will it take.
Anyway, digging tunnels to attack the camp is something only a fool would do.
But the Han army did it, and they did it quietly, which proves that the tunnel must be tens of miles long.It was only a few days before they went to Guanglin, which is completely impossible.
"Impossible, it will only be a few days for the last general to station troops in Guanglin." So Zhang Liao shook his head decisively and said it was impossible.
Zhang Liao's words made Cao Cao stunned for a moment, a little discouraged, it was indeed impossible.So what the hell is going on?
"Ugh."
At this moment, Guo Jia let out a sigh.
Hearing the sigh, Cao Cao cheered up, and quickly turned to look at Guo Jia, only to see Guo Jia's face was very ugly. "What did Feng Xiao think of?" Cao Cao asked eagerly.
"I'm afraid I fell into a trap." Guo Jia said with a sigh.
"Feng Xiao said that the tunnels were dug in advance? In other words, Liu Feng had already expected that we would station troops in Guanglin?" Cheng Yu exclaimed in surprise, with a look of disbelief.
According to Zhang Liao's words, this tunnel is at least tens of miles long.It will take at least several months of skill to complete, which consumes countless gold, silver and energy.
The rest need to be kept secret and so on.
How did Liu Feng do it, and how courageous he was, to issue such an order.Prodigal son, how much does it cost? If they hadn't gone to Guanglin, wouldn't this tunnel that cost countless energy and money become a decoration?
This is sitting on the sidelines and waiting for the rabbit, a blind cat meets a dead mouse.How could someone issue such an order?
Cao Cao was also stunned, Chen Qun, Dong Zhao, Zhang Liao, Zhang Jai, and all the civil servants and generals in the big tent were stunned, and they dared not accept it, they couldn't accept this fact.
Volume 194 Chapter 1564: Chapter 786
They've become rabbits stupid enough to hit a tree, they've become rats.
This result is really unacceptable, but the fact cannot be denied.This made Cao Cao and the others feel as if they had swallowed a dead fly.
"Well, in terms of courage, I'm afraid I can't compare to that scorpion." After a long time, Cao Cao let out a sigh, breaking the silence in the big tent, but he sighed that he was not as good.
Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and others also admired Liu Feng's courage, but seeing their own Duke Wei sighed, they felt that their prestige was somewhat destroyed, and at the same time they were afraid that Cao Cao would lose confidence.
After thinking for a while, Guo Jia couldn't help but said: "Liu Feng is full of courage, I don't deny it. But if he is too bold, sometimes he becomes self-willed. Just like this time in the battle of Guanglin, it seems that Liu Feng was right. But if we hadn't entered Guanglin, then Liu Feng would have spent the money in the treasury for nothing, which is really unwise."
This comfort, in the face of the facts, is really not convincing.But talking is better than nothing, Cao Cao smiled wryly and nodded, telling Guo Jia that he listened.
Liu Feng was lucky this time, so let's take it as a fluke.
"This battle is not a fault of the war, but a lack of thoughtfulness. The generals are not only innocent, but have been implicated by the fault. Don't feel guilty, let's go down to recuperate and rest."
Since it was not the fault of Zhang Liao and the others, Cao Cao would not be embarrassed by himself, and raised his head and said to Zhang Liao in a pleasant manner.
Cao Cao's understanding made Zhang Liao, Zhang Jai and others heave a sigh of relief, and felt touched, and felt guilty from the bottom of their hearts, feeling ashamed.
The next time I lead the army, I will defeat the Han army in order to repay the kindness of Duke Wei.All the generals including Zhang Liao and Zhang Jaw made up their minds.
"Thank you, Duke Wei."
After making up their minds, Zhang Liao, Zhang Jai and others took a deep breath, thanked them, and then turned and left.
"Sigh." After watching Zhang Liao and others leave, Cao Cao let out a sigh.I know how Zhang Liao failed, but the question is what to do next, there is no conclusion yet.
Of the 20 troops, there are only 15 left, not only the immediate problem of low morale.There is also a decline in troop strength, which is tantamount to a decline in power, which is tantamount to a sharp drop in deterrence.
Just a moment ago, Cao Cao was the number one prince in the world, but at this moment he is already in jeopardy.Yuan Shao in Hebei is still a strong enemy, and he is afraid that the rear will be unstable.
But on the other hand, Cao Cao was afraid that the opportunity would never come again.Don't look at the fact that there are still many Han Dynasty, and the total number of elite soldiers is less than [-].
But it has grown a lot.Dong Cheng's cavalry, Dong Gai's personal soldiers of the king's general, Xu Shu's Han Wu soldiers, and the [-] newly recruited cavalry who are still training.
In other words, after the Han Dynasty entered Xudu, within a short period of time, it expanded its strength by [-] troops.Coupled with the huge population in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, the rapid increase of troops is really terrible.
"No, Gu must find a way to contain the Han Dynasty. Even if it can't be broken in an instant, the development of the Han Dynasty must be curbed. First, we destroy the grain grown by more than [-] people, and add more than [-] victims to the Han Dynasty. .”
Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao suddenly stood up and said.
"I'm afraid it won't work, Duke Wei." Guo Jia said with a wry smile.
"Why?" Cao Cao frowned and asked.The rest of Cheng Yu, Chen Qun, Dong Zhao and others looked at Guo Jia in confusion, saying that destroying the wheat fields is beneficial and harmless.
"Since Liu Feng can set up a tunnel in Guanglin, it may not be possible to set up a tunnel here. Even if we sent spies to search nearby. But it has been several months, and it may be difficult to find out where the tunnel entrance is. .”
Guo Jia explained with a wry smile.
Cao Cao's complexion changed. The loss of [-] troops has changed the situation drastically.If it loses another [-], won't it collapse immediately?
At this moment, Cao Cao has really become a frightened bird, and the wind is jittery.In addition, this was Guo Jia's conjecture again, Cao Cao immediately jumped up and shouted.
"Retreat immediately."
Volume 195 Chapter 1565: Chapter 787 Cao Cao Retreats (1)
Chapter 787 Cao Cao Retreats
The calamity of Guanglin is just around the corner, eight of the [-] troops will go, and only [-] defeated troops will return.Overnight, it was burned overnight.
Cao Cao was terrified just thinking about such a tragic situation.I really didn't dare to stay for a long time, and immediately retreated as soon as I heard it, and immediately retreated.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" the horn sounded.And some generals came out of the camp to drink.
"Break out the camp and retreat."
Countless soldiers who heard the sound of the horn were taken aback, so they retreated?There were only two wars fought, and the duration was short.
