"That gives us the illusion."

"I think there are really thousands of enemies."

Xia Houba couldn't help but admire that Cao Ren could calm down and think about such a complicated issue at such a time. He cupped his hands and said, "The general is wise. But what should we do now?"

"Ugh."

Cao Ren didn't know how to decide how to advance or retreat.

Because the people in Jiangling City have already participated in the war.

In the near future, thousands or tens of thousands of people may join the war.

Although they can't shoot guns, there are a lot of them.Even in hand-to-hand combat, the combat power is quite terrifying.

Cao Ren was not sure of winning.

After all, he only has a mere 2000 people, and 200 of them have rifles, and they have just learned how to shoot a gun, and they don't even know tactics.

In addition, he was seriously injured and could not command the battle.

Cao Ren thought again and again, and finally said: "Forget it, send an order to withdraw the troops."

"Then what about Jiangling?"

"No matter how good Jiangling is, we can't take it down." Cao Ren knew the general situation and chose to retreat wisely after the people of Jiangling joined the battle.

If he persists, his prophecy will indeed come true.

At most, before dawn, at least tens of thousands of people in Jiangling City will join the defenders to resist Cao Ren's attack.These common people have gathered at the North Campus and are registering and getting their clothes.

Every commoner only has one hour to learn how to shoot a gun, and then they are sent to the battlefield.

Although they don't have much fighting power, they can also play a role if they have a large number.

Cao Ren withdrew from Jiangling and fell short.

The Jiangling defenders took advantage of the situation to regain their lost ground.

"Don't be discouraged, everyone. Although we lost, we have already completed our mission. Because we seized a lot of guns during the retreat. I just counted, and we added more than 300 guns before, There are also several boxes of bullets and grenades. With these, our strength has not been weakened, but has been strengthened, don’t you think so?” After leaving Jiangling City, Cao Ren led his troops straight to the mountain and rested on a slope. Said to the soldiers under his command.

Xiahou Ba said: "Before we came to Jingzhou, we trained the soldiers to use long spears, bows and arrows. Only now do we know that long spears, bows and arrows are useless at all."

"This thing is better." Xiahouba took out the captured rifle from behind and fiddled with it a few times.

"That's natural."

"That's why I said that our strength has not weakened, but has increased." Cao Ren encouraged the soldiers with this.

The effect is very good.

The soldiers of Cao Jun have never seen a new type of weapon, and now they have it, which can kill the enemy at a distance of 1000 meters. Holding such a heaven-defying weapon in their hands, their self-confidence soars.

Cao Ren boosted his morale, and when the defenders of Jiangling City were about to pursue him, he led his men and fled to the deep mountains overnight.

Because they were in the mountains, the defenders of Jiangling City did not dare to pursue them.

They sent people to guard the mountain pass, and they all returned.

Changan.

Western suburbs.

Cao Cao's army camped here after five days of marching after leaving Hanzhong.

This time, he brought 13 troops.

Among them, there are [-] cavalry and [-] chariots.

One hundred thousand infantry.

Two years ago, this strength was very strong.

Even Xu Ding didn't dare to say that he would definitely win.

But now, the Huaxia Kingdom is using hot weapons, who cares about swords and war horses.If we really want to fight, the strength of a regiment and the construction of fortifications can stop tens of thousands of enemy troops.

This is the gap between cold weapons and hot weapons.

in camp.

Cao Cao called the two brothers Xiahouyuan and Xiahoudun.

Give them tasks.

"This time we have come out in full force, with 13 elites. But we must not be injured. In order to capture Chang'an as soon as possible, we need to mobilize heavy troops, besiege from all sides, and fight the enemy with an absolute superiority. At the same time, we must be vigilant Wuguan and Tongguan, I am worried that Xu Ding has arranged reinforcements in these two places. Once Chang'an is besieged, they will attack my rear. Therefore, we must deploy heavy troops to ensure that my Chang'an army has no worries."

Cao Cao pointed to the map, explained it to Xiahouyuan and Xiahoudun, and then said: "Which of you would like to attack Chang'an? Who will guard Wuguan and Tongguan?"

"The last general is willing to attack Chang'an." The two said in unison.

Among the generals who came with Cao Cao, only the Xiahou brothers could be entrusted with important positions.

However, compared with attacking Chang'an and guarding Wuguan and Tongguan, the former is more important, and it is also a great contribution.

Even if they are brothers, they have to fight for it.

"Brother, you have made great achievements in Xiliang before, so don't fight with me this time when you fight Chang'an," Xiahou Dun said.

"Chang'an is a hard bone, can you do it?"

"Hmph, if I can't do it, who can do it?" Xiahou Dun patted his chest and said, "Please don't worry, brother, and my lord. I will take Chang'an within three days."

Let alone three days, Cao Cao would be extremely pleasantly surprised if he could capture Chang'an within ten days.

Xiahou Dun even said that he would break through the barrier within three days.

Cao Cao asked with a smile, "Really?"

"Yes."

"There is no joke in the army. If you can't attack Chang'an City within three days, what will you do?"

"The final general wishes to issue a military order. If Chang'an cannot be attacked within three days, please behead me!" Xiahou Dun said.

"it is good!"
