Chapter 594 Breaking through Dongping
A thousand armored warriors rushed up the city wall along the slope and crashed into the enemy's bush. The iron armored warriors in the middle rushed forward on the top of the city. The Cao army's dense infantry trampled down one by one, and at the same time, many people were knocked out of the city wall and fell down, with flesh and blood flying, and screams sounded; Cao army had no idea how to deal with these iron armored warriors rampant on the city wall for a moment.
The elite infantry army of 20,000 Long Tao Army and the infantry of the Luoyang Army rushed in with the gap that the armored war cavalry broke through, killing the chaotic Cao army and killing the Cao army step by step!
Cao Pi saw the terrifying scene on the city wall in the attic, and was shocked and shouted loudly: "Supreinforcement! Reinforcement!" More than 100,000 troops of all reserve teams rushed towards the east wall and fought desperately. The armored war cavalry of the Long Tao Army finally lost the power of the impact in the sea of people, stopped, and was surrounded by the enemy. The Long Tao Army soldiers relied on their iron armor to resist the spears and blades that were stabbed by the opponent, and at the same time danced the mace in their hands, and saw Cao Army soldiers falling to the ground with blood spears and blood.
However, the tiger could not resist the wolves. Cao's army used a hook and sickle spear to hook the mounts of the armored warriors, and then rushed up to the sword and axe to move. No matter how thick the armor was, it could not resist such a blow. Armored warriors fell down in the enemy's tide. At this moment, tens of thousands of infantry in the Lu Bu army were also fighting with the increasing number of Cao's army. Nearly 200,000 people were fighting on the west wall. The sound of weapons was thrust into pieces, and the roars and screams of people. The spears and swords shone brightly. From a distance, it looked like a shimmering river.
Dongdongdongdongdong... The sound of Lu Bu's war drums changed a rhythm and sounded loudly. The direction of the south city gate was not very fierce, Lu Bu's suddenly exerted force, and the attack power suddenly doubled. The defense Cao army immediately felt heavy pressure. Then another loud noise shook the universe, and a huge black cloud of flames came from the sky and the sky shook and the earth.
The smoke and dust dissipated, and suddenly saw that the southern city wall had collapsed. Tens of thousands of Lu Bu infantry were led by a thousand Long Tao Army armored war cavalry as the head of the industrial and commercial city. The defenders on the southern city wall could no longer resist it.
The direction of the south city was in a hurry, and Cao Pi quickly ordered the army gathering in the west city to fight to split up some forces to support the direction of the south city. Some of the troops immediately felt that the direction of the south city was barely blocking the offensive of the Lu Bu army. However, at this moment, another loud noise came from the north city, and then tens of thousands of Lu Bu infantry rushed to the north city wall under the guidance of the Longtao Army's armored cavalry, and the north city wall immediately advanced. At this time, Cao Pi could no longer support the direction of the north city.
The fierce battle on the city was fought, and the army killed the sky, the earth, the sun and the moon were gone. Life became so small at this time, and there were already corpses accumulated blood on the ground!
The people hiding in the city hugged each other, and they were trembling and frightened when they listened to the terrible fighting sounds.
Seeing the fierce scene of three sides fighting, Cao Pi felt at a loss and hurriedly asked Sima Yi: "Sir, what should we do now?"
Sima Yi frowned, "Lord, we can't resist it anymore! The attack of Lu Bu's army is too fierce! It's far beyond our previous imagination! That gunpowder completely loses the effectiveness of our city wall!" He looked at Cao Pi, "Lord, now, we can only retreat!" Cao Pi frowned and sighed heavily.
Cao Pi and others retreated first. The army in front of him who was fighting with Lu Bu’s bloody battles and the others had retreated. The morale that was originally bulging was immediately extinguished. They rushed to escape, trampling on each other and died. They were chased and killed by Lu Bu’s ranks and killed countless people. When the rest of them could not escape, they all surrendered!
The Battle of Dongping ended. The more than 300,000 troops guarding here were destroyed. Cao Pi and others escaped in a panic with only 30,000 defeated generals.
The blow to the morale of Cao's army was immeasurable. With the advantage of the city's defense, they had more than 300,000 troops to defend. In less than a day, Lu Bu's army broke through the city and almost wiped out the defenders! This was absolutely unimaginable in the past! Of course, this is thanks to the huge power of gunpowder!
However, the losses of Lu Bu's army were quite large. The three thousand iron armored cavalry as the vanguard were basically killed and nearly 30,000 soldiers were killed and injured by the crazy counterattack of Cao's army. If Cao Pi had not escaped, it would have been estimated that Lu Bu's army would have to lose at least 100,000 troops to capture Dongping. However, there was no if in the war.
Cao Pi and others ran around like frightened birds, rushed into Dong'a County. After a little rest, they left Donga and fled to Jinan County. They ran to Jinan City. Xu Chu went out to ask the city to open the door. However, what everyone expected was that Lu Bu's flag was erected on the city wall. Just when Cao Pi and others were surprised, the prefect appointed by Cao Pi came out and sang: "Prime Minister, I am polite here. I have surrendered to the general, so the Prime Minister should not go out!"
Cao Pi was so angry that he almost vomited blood. The whip pointed at the prefect, "You..."
Sima Yi said anxiously: "This is not a place to stay for a long time, you have to leave quickly!" Cao Pi immediately led the troops around Jinan and went to Taishan County.
After Jia Xu led the army to capture Dongping, he left 30,000 troops to guard and guard the prisoners. At the same time, he sent a fast horse scout to Xuzhou to report the victory to Zhang Lang. Then Jia Xu led the army to continue to advance eastward and drove into Jinan city a few days later. The army temporarily stopped. After discussing with Zhuge Mengxue, Jia Xu decided to send envoys to persuade the counties in Qingzhou. The prefect of Jinan volunteered, so he asked him to send people to various counties to persuade the surrender.
Cao Pi and others did not stay in Taishan County. After a little rest, they packed up the robbery stored in the city, set fire to the fire of the uncarried supplies, and then left Taishan County and went east to Qingzhou City. They met the 30,000 troops here, bypassed Qingzhou City, and pushed them all the way to Beihai City.
The night was as cold as water, the clouds were dim, the stars were sparse, and the moon was desolate. Cao Pi stood under the stairs and stared at the night sky in a daze. His mood was extremely heavy and extremely gloomy. He could not see any hope! Cao Pi was a little unbelievable, and he doubted whether all this had been experienced was a nightmare, otherwise why would such a thing happen? Not long ago, the Cao family was the world's leading prince, controlling most of the world, with two million soldiers, and looking down at the world! But how long has it been, everything has changed. The slave of the three surnames of Lu Bu was rampant in the world, and the Cao family, which was extremely glorious, was now defeated again and again, just like a dog with a broken family!
God, are you going to destroy my Cao family?
