Chapter 3311 Attack and defense in front of the mansion, long poems recited


    Wei Yan is a typical student who is partial to majors. If he is tested in later generations, he will definitely be a failed product and will not be able to go to university. Because all his acumen, agility, quick wit, and ability to find and seize opportunities are all in the military. But when it comes to people''s livelihood and government affairs, or how to get along with others, he is a complete imbecile.


    It''s like getting high scores in Chinese but failing in English.


    In the Han Dynasty, Wei Yan, who was partial to science, could still become an excellent general, but if it were placed in the country of Nanbangzi in later generations, if Wei Yan''s English was not up to standard, even the promotion of generals would be problematic. After all, it is a colony of the United States, so English naturally becomes the basic standard for assessing all skills.


    Wei Yan''s military acumen was strong and sophisticated, so he noticed the ugliness and corruption hidden under the dull, slow, and even rigid military system in Shandong, and took advantage of these problems to finally This made the second Battle of Yecheng into such a strange and outrageous state.


    The small soldiers who followed Cao Pi''s orders and killed the generals were naturally named Cao.


    Cao Ni led his soldiers and rushed out from the front door of the Prime Minister''s Mansion. Looking around, he quickly spotted Wei Yan and others standing just a stone''s throw away.


    He has been in the Prime Minister''s Mansion as the little guard leader for many years.


    The little leader of the bodyguard in the prime minister''s palace is in a rather embarrassing position.


    If it were placed outside the Prime Minister''s Mansion, such a position, let alone a small boss, would be a separate bodyguard or attendant of the Prime Minister''s Mansion. After arriving at the local level, whether it was a county magistrate or a prefect, they would be more or less respectful. After all, no one knows whether this **** is following the orders of a certain big boss. Even if he doesn''t give the dog face, he still has to see the face of the big boss behind the dog''s butt.


    Therefore, to the outside world, Cao Ni is naturally very awesome, but it is a pity that he spends more time in the Prime Minister''s Palace.


    And in the Prime Minister''s Palace, there are many people who are more awesome than him...


    Stand guard, watch, watch, patrol, day after day.


    That’s all Cao Yi has had in the past few years.


    So when Cao Pi ordered to capture and kill Wei Yan and others, Cao Ni bravely stood up and took over the task.


    When the guard commander of the Prime Minister''s Mansion patted Cao Ni **** the shoulder and said that he had discovered that Cao Ni was a good young man very early and admired his courage and wisdom in shouldering heavy responsibilities, Cao Ni was almost moved to the point of being moved. Wept bitterly on the spot!


    What a pity!


    The leader finally discovered that I am a talent. Will I be included in the priority training queue? !


    His surname is Cao, but his surname is only Cao.


    The archers on the wall inside the Prime Minister''s Mansion huffed and fired a row of arrows, suppressing the long street. Cao Ni took advantage of this moment to rush out of the Prime Minister''s Mansion with his soldiers and assemble in the front square.


    Cao Yi looked from a distance and saw Wei Yan under the light and fire, and waved to him casually.


    Waved...


    Cao Ni''s blood suddenly surged up. He could only watch helplessly in the Prime Minister''s Palace before, and then the anger of being humiliated by Wei Yan and others suddenly hit his heart at this moment!


    Cao Yi knew that if he could kill these hussars on the spot, or defeat them, it would mean that he could use this skill to achieve great success in one step!


    This thought made his hand holding the sword tremble slightly.


    It''s like betting on a dog on the gambling table, always thinking that you will win the next one.


    This one is a sure win!


    If you are a dog, you will be on guard!


    Ah, that''s wrong, it''s "Array!" Meet the enemy! 』


    Cao Yi shouted. He looked left and right at the elite soldiers of Cao''s army who were following him. Looking at the armor and equipment on their bodies, he felt a sense of heroism in his heart, "They are few in number!" We will win! 』


    This is like the men''s football team of a big country in the future, facing a team from a small country. They spend as much money as others, eat as much as others, and play more games than the other side. And no matter how much they play, Win or draw, you can qualify, and then everyone will be promoted and rich together! Everyone is thinking that with such a great chance of winning, they must be sure!


    "Everyone, let''s go together! 』


    "Shield!" Hold the shield securely! 』


    "Archers, archers, hold down the position!" 』


    Cao Yi shouted and shouted, which seemed to be the same, and then quickly gathered two to three hundred Cao troops and pressed towards the formation of Wei Yan and others.


    At the forefront of Cao''s army were two rows of shields.


    The appearance of the ferocious beast was outlined in color on the shield. Under the firelight, the white fangs seemed to be thirsting for blood and full of majesty.


    The queues on both sides were slowly approaching.


    According to Cao Dian''s requirements, Cao Jun''s shield soldiers would drop their shields on the ground every three quick steps, shout "drink", then lift up their shields and advance three steps forward. And so on. This battle mode is very standard.


    It can even be said to be rigid.


    On the other hand, Wei Yan''s front on the opposite side stood in loose groups of three or five, seemingly stunned by the neat and strict formation of Cao''s troops.


    Cao Yi was in Cao Jun''s formation, staring at Wei Yan and others who were getting closer and closer. He felt his heart beating so fast that it seemed that he was about to burst out of his chest.


    Is this excitement, excitement, or desire for the achievements that are about to be achieved?


    Or is it some other reason?


    Cao Yi had no time to think about it, and just shouted instinctively, "Hold on!" Hold on! Get closer! Get closer! 』


    So strictly speaking, Cao''s army was approaching Wei Yan and others...


    "ah! Ahhhh! 』


    Suddenly, a soldier of Cao''s army screamed and fell to the ground. He threw his weapon and shield aside and just held his feet and screamed in pain.


    "It''s caltrops!" 』


    Cao Yi reacted immediately and roared loudly, but it was already too late.


    The soldiers of Cao''s army in the first row could no longer stop. Even those who stopped would be pushed forward by their comrades behind them. They stepped on the iron caltrops one after another, and there was a sudden roar of ghosts and wolves.


    "Clean the streets quickly!" ” Cao Yi yelled.


    "Clean the streets!" "According to the code of conduct, a group of Cao Jun soldiers with spears suddenly walked out from behind the shield array, and began to half-bend and sweep the stone slabs of the long street with their spears, swinging away the iron caltrops.


    Cao Yi''s response was correct.


    The reaction of Cao''s soldiers also reflected their eliteness.


    But these alone are still far from enough.


    It is not that correct responses and correct practices will lead to correct results.


    Just a dozen or so caltrops caused huge chaos in Cao Cao''s neat ranks.


    The spearmen, who were originally protected by the shield soldiers, were now exposed in order to clear away these caltrops.


    Cao Ni stayed in the Prime Minister''s Palace for a long time, only having theory and training, but no actual experience in battle.


    He didn''t realize at all that from the moment the Cao soldiers he led stepped on the caltrops, they had lost their little energy...


    "Fire the arrow!" 』


    Wei Yan shouted loudly, and suddenly the arrows were like locusts!


    The spearmen of Cao''s soldiers who were freed from the protection of their shields immediately fell to the ground. The damage was even greater than if they stepped on the iron caltrops!


    As the arrows whizzed, Wei Yan and his men rushed forward and beat the drowned dog mercilessly.


    Cao Yi was shocked and angry.


    He had already lost a battle before he even started fighting it.


    If he ordered to go back and reorganize the team at this time, under the cover of the archers on the inner wall of the Prime Minister''s Palace, he should be able to save the current chaotic formation, and then reorganize the formation and drag the wounded down for treatment, but he himself is also very likely to Sex will be replaced and someone else will be able to direct the battle...


    After all, Wei Yan and others beat him up like a dog when they met him. Perhaps this will become a shame that will accompany him throughout his life!


    Going back to reorganize the queue would be good for most of Cao''s soldiers, but it would be of no benefit to him. Rushing forward would do no good to the other soldiers of Cao''s army. After all, the queue was now scattered and lost the bonus of mutual cooperation. But for himself, there was a chance of a comeback!


    So, what to choose?


    Does this need to be considered too much?


    Cao Ni held a knife and shouted, "Brothers!" The young master is watching us from behind! Today is the time for you and me to die heroically! Advance and you will live, retreat and you will die! Silly! Silly ah ah ah..."


    Well, the sounds of "kill" and "silly" are very similar, so when you hear someone encouraging someone to kill something, be careful whether this person is actually mocking that person for being a fool.


    At this moment, the elite quality of Cao Jun was revealed, but this tough quality was not a good thing at this moment.


    After being attacked by iron caltrops and arrows, and being charged by Wei Yan like this, the ordinary soldiers of Cao''s army would most likely have been confused or even dispersed. However, the guards in the prime minister''s palace obviously did not panic because of fear. Although they were defeated, they maintained basic morale and fighting spirit under Cao Yi''s orders, and began to subconsciously gather together to prepare to fight Wei Yan and others.


    It was at this time that Wei Yancai asked people to throw grenades towards the place where Cao''s soldiers gathered. Like thunder falling from the sky, flowers mixed with bright yellow, orange, and blood red bloomed in the long street, spitting out light blue and violet flower cores, taking away the flesh and blood and lives of these elite guards of the Prime Minister''s Mansion. , and also defeated their last willpower.


    Not everyone can have faith, remain firm in the face of death, or remain unmoved by the temptation of **** and wealth.


    The guards of the Prime Minister''s Mansion of Cao Jun are tougher than ordinary Cao Jun soldiers, but there is no doubt that they can withstand physical attacks, but they have little resistance to magic attacks...


    The biggest reason for this is not that Cao''s army lacks training, but because Cao''s army has not yet been equipped with gunpowder weapons like the hussars!


    Human beings are very strange creatures.


    Ancient humans were also afraid of flames, but after these ancient humans knew how to use flames, these guys began to use flames to deal with other humans and beasts...


    Therefore, as long as Cao Jun is equipped with gunpowder weapons, even the worst gunpowder will build a firewall in the hearts of Cao Jun soldiers to resist such "magic attacks". But what is very helpless is that under Shandong''s system, people who can be greedy for money can Things are rushed to be done, hard work and dangerous things are pushed off, and if they really can''t be pushed away, they are put off.


    Something as thankless as black powder, with the risk of explosion at any time and casualties at every turn, can only be handled by the official government in the end, and no one from other Shandong private workshops is willing to take over!


    And how many good craftsmen can there be in Cao''s official workshop?


    Even if there are good craftsmen, how much do these craftsmen need to do? Even if the young master of the Cao clan suddenly wants a bamboo horse, and a servant guard walks into the workshop, stands, pulls his neck and shouts, these craftsmen must put down everything they are doing and make the bamboo horse that the young master needs first. come out.


    The final result is that among these miscellaneous bamboo horses, kites, saddles, riding whips and other matters, the matter of making gunpowder has been delayed again and again. After finally making some, they have been rationed to the front line. How could it be possible? Send it to the hands of Cao Jun soldiers in the rear?


    Seeing that the situation was not good, Cao Ni was still shouting hello, trying to get the bombed guards of the Prime Minister''s Mansion to restore order and continue fighting, "Only by defeating the traitor army can we show our true colors as a hero!" 』


    "Kill the thief!" Killing thieves for the sake of the prime minister and the prince! 』


    "Everyone is from the Cao family!" Fight to the death! The only option is to fight to the death! 』


    As a result, Wei Yan narrowed his eyes and stared at Cao Yi, who was waving his sword and trying to boost morale.


    In the chaos, he didn''t hear many voices, but the ones shouting "kill thieves" and "fight to the death" were obvious targets.


    Am I a thief? Huh, what are you?


    Wei Yan bowed his body and shot towards Cao Yi like an arrow.


    Cao Yi was still waving his sword and shouting, "Cao family warriors!" You are big men..."


    Before Cao Yi could finish shouting, Wei Yan had already rushed forward, and his blood-stained sword fell from the air!


    "scare! ” Cao Yi was somewhat brave, and he could subconsciously raise his sword to block in a hurry.


    He failed to recognize Wei Yan, but thought that the short guy in front of him was an ordinary hussar soldier, while the old Ma Tou a little further away looked more like a general.


    After all, it was Lao Ma Tou who was taking the lead in insulting Cao Pi just now...


    So he didn''t pay too much attention at first, but he blocked it violently, only to feel that his arm was numb from the shock.


    "not good! ” Cao Yi tried to avoid Wei Yan with a feint.


    Wei Yan followed him like a shadow. Not only did the sword not retreat, but it seemed to stick to Cao Yi''s sword, sliding down like a poisonous snake!


    Whether it was combat skills, fighting will, or psychological preparation, Cao Yi was more than one level behind Wei Yan. In Cao Cao''s Prime Minister''s Palace, Cao Ni and others are certainly not lacking in terms of training, but what they lack is the actual combat experience evolved from the iron-blooded fight. This kind of experience cannot be completely replaced no matter how much training is done. .


    This is like an unedged piece of iron. Although it can still stab someone to death, it is obviously more efficient after it has been sharpened, whether it is stabbing or cutting.


    Wei Yan pressed and pressed like this, the blade slid down, and immediately cut Cao Yi''s arm.


    "Ahhhhh!" ” Cao Yi screamed in pain, unable to hold his sword and fell to the ground.


    Wei Yan turned half around and slashed down with his sword!


    "call! 』


    The blade whizzed past, like a tiger roaring in mid-air.


    The cold light flashed, and Cao Yang''s head flew high.


    Wei Yan grabbed Cao Yang''s head and said, "The enemy general will be beheaded!" 』


    As soon as Cao Ni died, the guards of the Prime Minister''s Mansion who went out to fight immediately lost their fighting spirit and retreated to the Prime Minister''s Mansion in chaos.


    Cao Pi, who was on the high platform in the Prime Minister''s Palace, could not clearly understand the changes in the long street in front of the Prime Minister''s Palace. He only heard the bang and saw the explosion and fire on the long street, and then the guards of the Prime Minister''s Palace were screaming. He yelled and retreated in defeat.


    Wu Zhi frowned at the side and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Master!" Quickly order to clear the front yard, send more archers to shoot all these thieves! 』


    Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, "What?" 』


    It was obvious that one of our own people was defeated, so why did he become a thief?


    Even if you are defeated, you can''t just shoot him?


    "quick! ” Wu Zhi said repeatedly, “Otherwise it will be too late! 』


    For Wu Zhi, these Prime Minister''s Mansion guards are just special guards. The number of casualties has nothing to do with him. But if Wei Yan and others can be strangled, how many Prime Minister''s Mansion guards will be thrown in? His life was worth it. Wu Zhi wanted to stop Cao Pi before because Wu Zhi suddenly realized that Wei Yan must have a follow-up method, and once the guards of the Prime Minister''s Mansion were defeated, Wei Yan could follow him all the way into the Prime Minister''s Mansion, causing chaos and killing!


    At that time, it will not only be damaged by the Prime Minister''s Palace, but also Cao Cao''s face!


    However, under the current situation, it is impossible to effectively identify the enemy and ourselves in a short period of time, so Wu Zhi wants to kill these defeated troops in the front yard with Wei Yan and others who have sneaked in, and directly kill them all with thousands of arrows!


    "This..." Cao Pi seemed to understand Wu Zhi''s thoughts, but he was a little hesitant.


    But time will not be given extra just because Cao Pi is Cao Cao''s son.


    When Cao Pi was hesitating, suddenly there was a loud roar in the northwest of Yecheng, and then flames shot into the sky!


    In the workshop, flammable materials exploded!


    Cao Pi was frightened by the loud noise and immediately shouted: "Close the door!" No one is allowed in! The soldiers who went to war lined up outside the gate of the mansion! 』


    Shooting directly in the front yard without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy was obviously too cold and unscrupulous, so Cao Pi retreated to the next best thing and asked people to close the door of the mansion to prevent the defeated soldiers from rushing into the mansion, which was also a defensive method.


    Wu Zhi frowned again.


    This kind of coping method that is neither better nor worse is really Cao Pi!


    The door of the Prime Minister''s Mansion was left ajar after the troops were sent out. Under Cao Pi''s order, the soldiers guarding the door slammed the door shut, then raised the latch and blocked the door...


    The defeated guards of the Prime Minister''s Mansion couldn''t get in, and of course Wei Yan and others couldn''t get in either.


    And Wei Yan was also shocked by the explosion in the northwest corner of Yecheng...


    Is this...gunpowder?


    So will the Prime Minister''s house...


    The pace was slow and he didn''t get too close.


    The bows and crossbows from the Prime Minister''s Mansion roared down. Wei Yan raised his shield and jingled, blocking several arrows in succession. He quickly stopped and pulled the wounded soldiers out of the range of the arrows.


    Wei Yan ordered people to temporarily bandage and treat the wounded soldiers, then he hummed twice and shouted:


    "Cao Zi has an empty name and is afraid of the wind!" A naughty boy ascends to a high position, but his incompetence brings trouble to the entire army! 』


    "If you have little talent and little ambition, it''s hard to accomplish anything if you have a narrow mind!" You only make the world laugh, how can you show your dignity! 』


    Wei Yan''s men all shouted and laughed.


    Wei Yan waved his hand, and then led the people to gradually hide themselves in the chaotic darkness.


    Cao Pi was so angry that he turned blue and said, "Let the arrows go!" 』


    They are all out of range, and firing arrows is more like incompetent rage.


    Wu Zhi stood aside, silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Young master, you can lead the troops out of the house to hunt down the traitors, but you don''t have to follow too closely to prevent the traitors from counterattack." 』


    "What? ”Cao Pi’s eyes widened.


    Didn''t you just say that it''s dangerous to go out?


    The explosion was so loud just now, didn''t you hear it?


    Why do you want me to leave the house now?


    What else are you talking about chasing?


    just in case…


    So Cao Pi pretended not to hear.


    Wu Zhi glanced at Cao Pi and stopped trying to persuade him. He just sighed slightly in his heart.


    Ever since, I just heard someone shouting along the way, "Cao Zi has an empty name and is afraid of the wind!" A naughty boy ascends to a high position, but his incompetence brings trouble to the entire army! 』


    "If you have little talent and little ambition, it''s hard to accomplish anything if you have a narrow mind!" You only make the world laugh, how can you show your dignity! 』


    The sound gradually fades away...
