Just when the war was spreading throughout the southwest region, and even Luoyang, the capital of Yuguo, the home base of Yuguo, and the situation was in a state of decay, a choice also occurred in the northern theater of Yuguo.
At this moment, Cao Cao's army has conquered the Ansheng tribe of Chief Jones and unified all the small tribes in the entire northern and southern regions.
After resting for a while, 3,000 cannon fodder were drawn from these small tribes to join the army, and then they continued to march north, aiming directly at the Creland tribe.
After a long journey, we soon arrived at the core area of Cleland, the city of Cleland located in the north of the entire northern region. The city of Cleland has majestic buildings and tall walls, which are thirty meters high.
It has always been an important northern town that blocked the invasion of the Kingdom of Ryan from the north and the invasion from the south. Because the soldiers and horses fought against the Kingdom of Ryan, the strongest in the plains, they were trained rigorously and were extremely good at fighting. Their sensitivity to war was far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
At this moment, Cao Cao was under the city wall of Cleveland City, looking at the city and sighing. He saw densely packed various city defense facilities on the city tower. There were probably more hidden places that could not be seen with the naked eye, and the mechanisms were clever. The place is enough to make people look forward to it and fear it.
Cao Cao's army at this time only had 50,000 men, and the city's defenders had been mobilized by the Creland tribe. All other tribes in the north also came with their troops to support. There were already 15,000 of his defenders in the city.
With the city's tight defenses, sufficient supplies, and high morale among the defenders, how easy would it be for Cao Cao to capture this city
We can only surround the city first and see if there are other directions that can be used as a breakthrough, so as not to let the soldiers needlessly sacrifice themselves under the siege.
Of course, if it is inevitable that his soldiers will be needed to serve as cannon fodder to fill this majestic city, Cao Cao will never be merciful, and he still has the decisiveness to make decisive decisions.
A few days later, it was discovered that the entire city was indeed impeccable. Although there were some minor flaws in some places, they did not affect the overall situation. Cao Cao could only sigh in pain and force his soldiers to conduct a brutal siege.
This siege lasted for more than ten days, until more than half of Cao Cao's soldiers had been lost, and the three thousand cannon fodder brought by the barbarians were also used up!
When there were only 25,000 soldiers in the army, the morale of the soldiers was extremely low. The nerves of the entire army were stretched to the limit, and they were almost unstoppable. When a mutiny occurred, Cao Cao had to order the soldiers to suspend the offensive and rest.
And during this break, a big thing happened: the city opposite was already crumbling under its own offensive.
Suddenly, morale was high, and all the defenders were rejoicing. The cheers could be heard clearly even from Cao Cao's military camp ten miles away outside the city.
Cao Cao was wondering what happened? How could an army on the verge of collapse be given such vitality? Just when they were about to send someone to investigate.
But he found that high in the sky outside his tent, there was a dazzling golden light flashing. The golden light was getting brighter and brighter, and when it was almost solidifying, a voice came.
The meaning in the voice is not much different from that of God Wogo in the southwest region. They all want Cao Cao to surrender and the entire army to submit to the God of Creland.
The only difference is that the God of Creland may be a little reluctant to kill these soldiers who may be his followers in the future. The way to show his extraordinary power is not to massacre those soldiers, but to directly level the surrounding areas of the army. A hill.
This method, which is unimaginable to ordinary people, directly frightened the calves of the imperial soldiers and made their teeth tremble, making it difficult for them to feel any resistance.
Seeing that kind of powerful force that was beyond the reach of ordinary people, Cao Cao felt frightened 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 to surrender, the result might not be really good.
I often feel in my heart that with the strength of the so-called god on the opposite side, can I really defeat the mysterious and incomprehensible Emperor
Cao Cao asked a question in his mind, and then he denied this possibility. Obviously he was not optimistic about the strength and ideas of the god, so he made up his mind to hide in his tent and wait for an opportunity to escape.
He sent a few confidants and asked them to wear their own clothes to show off in various places, and constantly recruited soldiers to attract the attention of the god's mansion.
But he dressed up as a soldier, and sent people to recruit important generals, asking them to follow him. He sent a few soldiers to impersonate him, while he dressed up and prepared to escape quietly.
After some actions, I saw that among the humble mortal ants below, no one in charge came out and answered me humbly,
God Creland still didn't understand that he had been ignored. There was a surge of anger in his heart, but he couldn't care about it anymore. He was directly preparing to kill these humble ants and let them understand the sin of offending a god.
A burst of golden light flashed in his hand, and it quickly hit the Cao Army camp below. As the golden light continued to expand, it slowly covered half of the military camp.
It did not bring any bloody scenes, nor any screams and wailings. It was just that as the golden light expanded and dissipated, all the soldiers and things covered by the golden light were dissipated.
Then the soldiers who saw this scene didn't understand that the person in front of them was definitely not something they could resist. They all screamed strangely and fled in all directions without anyone restraining their commanders.
The entire military camp was like an ant emerging from its nest, densely packed and spreading like small dots, all over the surrounding plains of the military camp.
At this moment, the cunning Cao Cao was leading a group of close advisers and generals, mixed among these soldiers, in an inconspicuous corner, trying to avoid the eyes of the gods as much as possible.
When the god saw his attack, not only did he not deter the ants, but he made them flee in all directions, ignoring him even more. He couldn't help but become even more angry, but he no longer held back and tried his best to kill all the ants.
As the golden lights shined out one after another, the soldiers were cut off one after another like grass, and finally turned into ashes and scattered in the wind.
The effect of Cao Cao and others' long preparation was not without effect. The area where the soldiers wearing their military uniforms and gorgeous armor were being taken care of was focused.
Cao Cao's soldiers, who were dressed in ordinary clothes and had a small number of soldiers, did not focus much attention, and they were able to escape from the entire battlefield without any danger.
Then Cao Cao dove into the woods, hiding and hiding all the way, heading in the direction of Zhong Yu's army.
Because Cao Cao's premonition told him that even if he escaped to Luoyang headquarters, it would not necessarily be safe. Only by His Majesty's side could his life be guaranteed and any threat could be blocked.
In this way, he stumbled all the way, and was hunted down several times by the pursuers sent by the Creland tribe. But in the end, there were only scares and no dangers. He escaped from the northern area unharmed and came to the northwest where Zhong Yu was.
