The strongest Marquis in history

It would be great if you can hold on now.

Cao Ku led the army on the way, rushing all the way, because Wudu County was not far away, only more than [-] miles away, he hurried all the way, and the distance was getting closer rapidly.

Along the way, the scouts under Cao Ku's command continued to inquire about the news, and sent back the news from the front, and found that the number of Qi's army was actually only about 3000.

When Cao Ku heard the news, he secretly thought that Wang Qi was really self-righteous, and there were only more than [-] people.Even if the weapons of Qi State are powerful, what effect can more than [-] people have?

As long as Wudu County guards with all its strength, it can still be blocked.

Cao Ku rejoiced that there were not many people in Qi State, so he gave another order to let all the soldiers hurry on the road at full speed.The army under his command arrived near Wudu County at a gallop.

At this moment, night began to fall, and it was already evening.

Cao Ku had already discovered the situation in Qi State. After a fierce attack, the Qi State army was unable to take down the county town, and had temporarily retreated and stationed.

After all, there are not many people in Qi.

this is normal.

Cao Ku took his men and went to the county seat. When the army arrived outside the city, Cao Ku sent soldiers to shout to Luo Yuanzheng to open the city gate to welcome his army into the city.

On the tower, Luo Yuanzheng was there.

In addition, there are Zhu Yuanshan and some soldiers under his command.

Luo Yuanzheng saw Cao Jun arriving, and more than [-] people were crowded outside the city.He shouted and said: "General, please wait a moment and open the city gate immediately."

When he spoke, soldiers had been arranged to open the city gate.

Crunch!

The city gate is open!

Cao Ku never doubted, he ordered: "Enter the city!"

As a veteran general, Cao Ku was not stupid. Although he had no doubts, his instinctive reaction was to let the soldiers under his command enter the city first and take over the city defense of Wudu County first.

The first batch of soldiers began to enter the city one after another.

Zhu Yuanshan watched the situation from the top of the city tower. He saw Cao Xuan's army was outside, and he secretly thought to leave the army outside the city to support him. It was indeed correct.The Wei soldiers who came this time were very cautious and only sent a few soldiers to enter.

This led to the failure of Zhu Yuanshan's intention to use the city to ambush the opponent.

Zhu Yuanshan raised his hand, and in an instant, the soldiers on the tower got ready.

One by one, they clenched their rifles tightly.

One shot is strong, aiming at the city, it is already ready to shoot.When the soldiers of Cao Jun who entered the city began to change lanes, and were about to drive up the road, Zhu Yuanshan said decisively: "Fire!"

boom!boom! ! !

The continuous gunshots suddenly resounded.

The soldiers of Qi State on the tower all fired quickly.The dense bullets were shot down from the tower, and in an instant, they had already entered the body of the soldiers of Wei State who were going up the tower.

The screams suddenly rang out.

Corpses fell to the ground one after another, and Wei soldiers were killed one by one.Seeing this, the rest of the Wei soldiers behind all shouted that there was an ambush, and then quickly retreated without going up the tower.

This scene was immediately discovered by Cao Ku outside the city.

Cao Ku thought about it, and immediately thought that Wudu County had failed to stop the Qi army and had already fallen.He looked around, although there was a camp of Qi State behind him, but the county seat of Wudu County must be in his hands.

This is fundamental.

If Wudu County is not taken, Wudu County will fall.

Cao Ku said decisively: "Send the order to kill and attack Wudu County!"

"kill!"

The soldiers all shouted.

One by one, the soldiers held their rifles and rushed forward quickly.In a short period of time, he rushed to the gate of the city, and at this moment, together with the soldiers who retreated from the tower, they quickly rushed into the city along the galloping road.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanshan immediately laughed.

He was also worried that the Wei army would retreat.Once the opponent retreats, the situation is a little more difficult for him.But at the moment, the opponent did not retreat, but came to attack instead, and that was his chance.

Zhu Yuanshan was not in a hurry to order anything, everything had been arranged properly.

Soldiers, naturally go all out.

The soldiers on the tower aimed their guns at the Wei soldiers below and kept shooting.The gunshots sounded, and one by one the people who boarded the road kept falling down, but there were also more people rushing up rapidly.

Lin Chong is a school lieutenant in the army, and he led the soldiers to block the attack.Although there were many soldiers shooting, the number of Cao Jun was too large, and more and more people were rushing up the road, making it impossible to suppress the opponent's sprint in a short time.

Lin Chong was not in a hurry, and let the opponent charge up.

Seeing that the Wei soldiers were less than ten steps away from the tower, Lin Chong ordered: "Throw the grenade down for me, keep hitting it."

After the order was issued, the soldiers who had prepared earlier took out the grenade, pulled the fuse, and threw it out.A grenade fell into the crowd in a blink of an eye.

boom! !

With an explosion, several soldiers were blown out immediately.

Rumbling explosions followed one after another.One grenade exploded, and the soldiers rushing up the road were constantly blown to the ground, causing heavy casualties.

More and more people were injured and more and more people died tragically.

The originally swift and violent momentum of rushing upwards was already suppressed by the grenade at this moment.Each and every one of the Wei soldiers had expressions of awe and fear on their faces.

Rifles, they know.

This explosive weapon made people feel terrified.

Even when the soldiers on the tower threw grenades, they were not limited to running along the road, but also threw them in the direction of the entrance of the city gate.Dense grenades fell and exploded continuously.

Even if this explosion is much worse than the explosion power of a mortar shell, it is even much worse than an explosive package.However, the victory was caused by the intensive falling of the grenades, and the grenades dropped by the soldiers one by one fell on the crowd of Wei soldiers at the entrance of the city gate. Explosions happened one after another, and the momentum was shocking.

Cao Ku was still outside the city, and he directed the soldiers to rush in, but after a while, he heard the sound of rumbling explosions.

He knew about cannons, but the current explosion didn't look like a cannon. What kind of weapon was it?

"General Cao, there is an explosive weapon inside. When the weapon fell into the crowd, it exploded with a bang, and three or five people were killed directly. Under the dense explosion, our soldiers couldn't fill it at all."

The general commanding in front has already withdrawn.

There was a look of fear on his face.

Start to back off.

Cao Ku glanced at the tower, and he frowned suddenly, because soldiers on the tower began to hold rifles and shoot towards the outside of the city. Either evacuate directly, or continue to raise their guns to fight back.

It's just that the people on the towers have shelters, while the people outside the city don't have any protective measures at all.So that under such a confrontation, the soldiers under Cao Ku suffered even greater losses.

Cao Ku was unable to enter the city, nor could he capture Wudu County, so the expression on his face became a bit more stern.

Things are going badly.

How to do?

He is now faced with a choice, whether to grit his teeth again and let the soldiers attack by force, or directly order the withdrawal of troops.

"General, we can't take this city, let's withdraw."

"The firepower in Wudu County is too strong. The opponent not only has rifles to shoot, but also has weapons that we are not equipped with. Under the explosion of this weapon, there are heavy casualties, and we are completely unable to stop it."

"General, let's withdraw the troops, first withdraw from Wudu County."

One by one, the generals kept proposing to withdraw the troops.

Everyone lost their fighting spirit at this time, the reason is very simple, the opponent's strength is too strong.

Going to Chongcheng at this time is courting death.

Cao Ku looked around at the generals under his command, they were all brave men, who dared to fight and charge, but at this moment, they were completely powerless, they were all frightened.

Even if he wants to fight, it is difficult for him to fight, after all, the fighting power is still insufficient.In the face of stronger weapons, there is not enough courage, nor enough fighting spirit to fight.

"Withdraw!"

Cao Ku ordered directly.

As the order was passed on, all the soldiers who were going to the city withdrew.Then, Cao Ku ordered the withdrawal of troops, leaving Wudu County first, avoiding Qi's army, and then considering the strategy of the First World War.

Zhu Yuanshan saw that Cao Ku was about to withdraw his troops, and the corner of his mouth curled up with a hint of coldness.

You are here, and you still want to withdraw?

Nothing is so easy.

Zhu Yuanshan ordered: "All artillery, all in place."

With an order, the mortars that had been prepared on the tower quickly adjusted their positions and began to prepare for loading shells.Although Zhu Yuanshan didn't bring many cannons with him this time, only thirty mortars, but this time it was enough to deal with Cao Ku.

Twenty mortars were placed on the tower, and they waited for a while after aiming.When the soldiers under Cao Ku's command ran a certain distance, within the range of the mortar, they fired bombardments.

boom!boom! !

The ground on the tower trembled, and shells flew through the air, heading straight for Cao Ku's soldiers who were fleeing in the distance.

The moment the shell fell, the ground exploded.

boom! !

There was smoke and dust everywhere, and the flames were lingering.

One by one, the soldiers were blown out immediately, and were even killed and wounded by the iron pieces and steel needles in the shells, and there were screams for a while.Such screams were completely drowned out by the continuous sound of gunfire.

After the first wave of [-] shells fell, there was a sea of ​​flames in the distance, and Cao Ku's soldiers were killed and injured countless times.

If it's just the explosion of shells, the range of twenty shells bombing is also limited.The problem is that under such bombing, there are lethal weapons inside the shells, and the flying iron pieces and steel needles harvest Cao Jun's life in a large area.

Cao Ku himself was hit by an iron plate in the back, bleeding profusely.He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, not daring to waste time, and ordered to retreat loudly.

terrible!

The bombing of this weapon is simply frightening.

Under the bombardment of the shells, the strength of the soldiers of Wei State has been weakened to the extreme.

In the past, there were grand masters and great masters. Although the great masters were extremely powerful, in front of thousands of soldiers, even if the great masters were powerful, once they were caught in the crowd, as long as all the soldiers dared to fight to the death.Even if the grand master is powerful, he is easily consumed and killed in the army.

The cannon in front of him was extremely cold. No matter how strong the fighting spirit of the soldiers was, no one could resist the fierce bombardment of the cannon. In a short period of time, they were completely blown away.

Can't stop it at all.

Can only flee.

Cao Ku quickly retreated, and a group of people braved the artillery fire and kept rushing forward.

After waves of sprints, although there were countless casualties, the soldiers under Cao Ku's command finally escaped the range of the cannon bombing in embarrassment, and Cao Ku was also relieved.It's just that Cao Ku, who just escaped, has a bad premonition in his heart.

Since Qi's army has been prepared for a long time, if this is not the case, there must be more means.

Cao Ku loudly ordered to retreat.

Now, the only option is to evacuate.

The team continued to evacuate forward, and ran forward for less than a mile. Cao Ku saw rows of fortifications appearing on the official road ahead, blocking the wide road.

In this area, even on the hillside not far away, trenches were dug, forming a pocket, blocking the way for Cao Ku's army to leave.

The soldiers here are commanded by Liu Jinyuan.

Except for this, Yan Mingshi and all the other Wudu County soldiers are here.

When Liu Jinyuan learned that Cao Ku's team was less than a thousand steps away from his line of defense, he ordered the bombardment.As the order was conveyed, on the hillsides on both sides, mortars were quickly loaded with shells.

The sound of rumbling cannons sounded, and the shells flew in the air, and in a blink of an eye they fell and exploded among Cao Ku's soldiers.

Soldiers were blown out one by one.

There were also heavy casualties.

Even though there were not many shells in the bombing this time, only ten mortars bombed, the shock caused by such bombing to the soldiers under Cao Ku's command was even more immeasurable.

The soldiers were panicked, they kept running away, and they kept moaning and sighing.

Although Cao Ku said that he was extremely afraid in his heart, he didn't linger at the moment, shouted to attack, and rode his horse forward quickly.Cao Ku ordered the army under his command to charge forward to break out of the siege.

He has no choice now.

Can only rush forward.

If you stay, you will be killed.
