Chapter 114 The Northern Collapse
Just when the whole southwestern region, even Luoyang, the capital of Yuguo's old base camp, was in a state of corruption as the flames of war spread, a choice also occurred in Yuguo's northern theater.
At this moment, the Ansheng tribe of the Patriarch Jones has been conquered, and Cao Cao's army has unified all the small tribes in the northern and southern regions.
After recuperating for a while, 3,000 cannon fodder were drawn from these small tribes to join the army, and then they continued to march north, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Crelan tribe.
Walking along the road, they soon came to the core area of Creland, the city of Creland located in the north of the entire northern region. The city of Creland has majestic buildings and tall walls, which are as high as 30 meters.
It has always been an important town in the north that blocked the kingdom of Ruien in the north and invaded the south. Because the soldiers and horses fought against the kingdom of Ruien, the strongest in the plain, they were trained strictly and were extremely good at fighting. Their sensitivity to war was far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
At this moment, Cao Cao was just under the wall of Crelan City, looking at the city and sighing. On the top of the city tower, there were densely packed various city defense facilities all over it. I am afraid that there are more hidden places that cannot be seen by the naked eye. The mechanism is ingenious The place is enough to be daunting.
Cao Cao's army was only 50,000 people at this time, and the defenders in the city were mobilized by the Creland tribe, and all other tribes in the north also led their troops to support them. At this moment, there are already 15,000 defenders in the city.
With the city's tight defenses, sufficient supplies, and high morale of the defenders, how easy is it for Cao Cao to take this city?
We can only surround the city first to see if there is any other direction that can be used as a breakthrough, lest the soldiers needlessly sacrifice under the siege.
Of course, if it is unavoidable that the soldiers under his command really need to act as cannon fodder to fill up this majestic city, Cao Cao will definitely not be lenient, and he still has the decisiveness to make a decisive decision.
A few days later, it was found that the whole city was really impeccable. Although there were some small flaws in some places, it did not affect the overall situation. Cao Cao could only sigh in pain and force his soldiers to carry out a brutal siege.
This siege lasted him for more than ten days, until more than half of the soldiers under Cao Cao's command had been lost, and the three thousand cannon fodder brought by the barbarians had also been exhausted!
When there were only 25,000 soldiers in the army, the morale of the soldiers was extremely low. The nerves of the soldiers in the entire army were stretched to the limit, and they were almost unable to suppress it.
And this rest has brought about a major event, the crumbling city on the opposite side that has been under his own attack.
All of a sudden, the morale was high, and all the defenders rejoiced, and the cheers could be clearly heard even outside the city, in Cao Cao's barracks ten miles away.
Cao Cao was wondering what happened? How could it revitalize an army that was on the verge of collapse? Just about to send someone to investigate.
However, he found that above the high altitude outside his tent, there was an eye-catching golden light shining, and the golden light became brighter and brighter, and when it was about to condense into substance, a voice came.
The meaning in the voice is not much different from that of the Wo Ge god in the southwest region. They all want Cao Cao to surrender and the entire army to surrender to God Crelan.
The only difference is that the Crelan God may be a little reluctant to kill the soldiers who may be his believers in the future. The way to show his extraordinary power is not to slaughter those soldiers, but to directly level the soldiers around the army. a hill.
This unimaginable method directly frightened the imperial soldiers' calves and trembling, their teeth were chattering, and it was difficult to arouse any resistance.
Seeing that kind of powerful force that is unattainable for ordinary people, Cao Cao was also frightened for a while, and almost wanted to go out and surrender!
But the intuition and sense of crisis in his heart kept reminding Cao Cao that if he really went out and surrendered, the result might not be really good.
I often feel in my heart that with the strength of the so-called God's Mansion opposite, can I really defeat that mysterious Emperor His Majesty?
Cao Cao asked back in his mind, and then he himself denied this possibility. Obviously, he was not optimistic about the strength and ideas of the god's mansion, so he made up his mind to hide in his camp and wait for the opportunity to escape.
He sent a few confidantes to wear their own clothes to show off everywhere, and constantly recruited soldiers to attract the attention of the god's mansion.
But he dressed up as a small soldier, and sent people to recruit those important generals, let them follow him, and sent a few small soldiers to impersonate him, while he dressed himself up and prepared to escape quietly.
After some actions, seeing those humble mortal ants below, no one in charge came out, and answered his own words humbly,
God Crelan didn't understand that he had been ignored by others, and his heart burst into anger, but he couldn't care less about it anymore, and directly prepared to kill these humble ants, so that they could understand the sin of offending a god.
A flash of golden light flashed in his hand, and quickly blasted down the Cao Jun barracks below. As the golden light continued to expand, it slowly covered half of the barracks.
It didn't bring any bloody scenes, nor any screams and wailing sounds, but as the golden light expanded and dissipated, all the soldiers and things covered by the golden light were all dissipated.
Afterwards, the soldiers who saw this scene didn't understand that the person in front of them was definitely not something they could resist. They screamed strangely, and fled in all directions under the condition that their commanders all fled and no one was restraining them.
The entire military camp is like an ant coming out of its nest, densely packed, spreading in all directions like small dots, all over the surrounding plains of the entire military camp.
And the treacherous and cunning Cao Cao is leading a group of confidants and military generals at this moment, mixing with this group of soldiers, standing in an inconspicuous corner, avoiding the eyes of the gods as much as possible.
Seeing his attack, the gods not only did not deter those ants, but instead let them run around, ignoring him even more, and couldn't help but become more annoyed, but they never held back and tried their best to kill these ants.
As the golden light shines out one after another, pieces of soldiers, like mowing grass, are cut off stubble after stubble, and finally turned into ashes, floating in the wind.
The effect that Cao Cao and others had prepared for a long time was not useless. Those soldiers wearing their military uniforms and gorgeous armor were given special attention to the area where they were located.
Cao Cao, who were dressed in ordinary clothes and had a small number of soldiers, did not have many eyes to focus on, and was able to escape the entire battlefield without any danger along the way.
Then Cao Cao plunged into the woods, hiding and hiding all the way, heading towards the direction of Zhong Yu's army.
Because Cao Cao's premonition told him that even if he fled to the Luoyang headquarters, he might not be safe. Only by the side of His Majesty the emperor can he protect his life and prevent any threats.
In this way, he stumbled along the way, and was hunted down by the pursuers sent by the Crelan tribe several times, but in the end, he escaped from the northern area safe and sound, and came to the northwest where Zhong Yu was.
