This time, Cao's army mobilized a large number of troops and consumed a large amount of materials, but did not make any profit. Instead, it lost troops and generals, lost nearly 200,000 troops, and even took over Yu Jin. It can be said that the loss was very high.

This was just in the direction of Jingzhou. When Cao Cao led his army to fight with Liu Bei, Sun Quan, who had an alliance with Liu Bei, was not idle. He appointed Zhou Yu as the head coach and launched an active attack in the direction of Hefei.

Because Cao Cao had drawn too many county soldiers, the direction of Hefei was extremely empty, and Zhou Yu conquered several cities in a row, and flew towards Xudu like snowflakes. This was also a major factor in Cao Cao's decision to withdraw his troops.

Although the pursuit of Cao's army was successful, things could not be forgotten. After a little rest, Liu Bei ordered another attack on Nanyang!

However, Nanyang is not easy to fight. The city is high and the walls are thick, and it is built with special methods. Whether it is the cultivation of generals or the military energy formed by the army, they are helpless against it.

If the city wall cannot be destroyed, the city can only be attacked in the most traditional way. However, the defenders on the city can set up formations to form military aura, but the siege army has to climb the ladder and cannot set up formations, so they are naturally at a disadvantage.

Therefore, Liu Bei did not expect to conquer Nanyang, but Sun Quan was still fighting with Cao's army in Hefei. Liu Bei could not stop and let his allies bear the pressure alone.

But this is difficult for Luo Tianming. If he wants to maintain the name of the military god who is victorious in every battle, he cannot be blocked by a city.

The previous pursuit failed to achieve the due results, but at least he won. If he was blocked by Nanyang again, would he be a nonsense military god?

As a last resort, Luo Tianming had to use his brain and find a way to really take down Nanyang.

It is not possible to rely on gunpowder. I have experimented with setting fire to the water village in Jiangxia before. This plane does not allow gunpowder to explode, but can only be used to cause fire.

The water villages are all built with wood, and they can be burned with just one fire, but the Nanyang city wall is built with bricks and stones, so they cannot be burned.

Since the explosion cannot be done, can the city wall be dug up by soil work?

Although the city wall in Nanyang is very tall, strong, the soldiers on this plane are also very strong, and the digging speed is very fast. It is really not a delusion to dig down the city wall, so you can give it a try.

In addition, the military formation is not impossible to try.

After Luo Tianming's research, it was found that the concentration of military qi produced by the military formation is related to the tacit understanding of the soldiers who deployed the formation and their qi and blood.

In other words, the more neat the formation, the more intense the military energy; the more abundant the qi and blood of the soldiers deployed the formation, the more intense the military energy.

Because of this, when Luo Tianming trained his soldiers, he not only paid attention to the neat formation, but also gave the soldiers enough meat to enhance their bodies.

Even the physical strength of ordinary soldiers can make the military spirit richer. If the top-level generals set up their formations, what kind of scene would it be?

In order to experiment with this idea, Luo Tianming recruited Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Liu Feng, Guan Ping, Wei Yan and Wen Pin, but there were still two people, so he had to bring Zhou Cang and Liao Hua with him. In addition, Luo Tianming himself, there were eleven people in total, which happened to form the smallest mandarin duck formation.

With the formation as soon as possible, the military energy increased greatly. Two birds like mandarin ducks appeared above the formation, like living creatures!

Guan Yu and others were all very surprised when they saw this. With this formation, there was hope to break through Nanyang.

But Luo Tianming frowned slightly. According to his vision, the formation of eleven generals should have been formed, not to mention that they would increase their combat effectiveness by three or five times, at least it should have been more than doubled, right?

But after he felt it, it probably increased by 80%, which was a bit far from what he imagined.

Of course, even if it only increases by 80%, it is quite considerable. After all, the people who form the formation are all super powerful generals.

For example, Luo Tianming, who is already one-line higher than Lu Bu, will it be so terrible to increase his combat effectiveness by 80%?

Not only him, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, also had 1.5 Lu Bu's combat power, Liu Feng, Guan Ping, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and others, and even Zhou Cang and Liao Hua were able to beat Guan Yu and others.

If such a group of people are combined together, what else can stop them in the world?

Even the rebirth of the eight hundred camp, which is known as the most elite, is probably not their opponent.

Since the formation was completed, I was sure to attack Nanyang City. So under Luo Tianming's command, Liu Bei's soldiers did not rush to break through the city wall, but instead suppressed the defenders on the city wall with arrow rain, and then gave the infantry to fill soil with straw bags and piled up a slope under the city.

Tens of thousands of troops took turns to carry the earth, and soon a gentle slope of five meters wide was piled up under the Nanyang city wall. The siege troops could walk directly to the top of the city along the gentle slope.

The general Cao Ren guarded Nanyang. When he saw Liu Bei's army gathering soil to attack the city, he had already concentrated a large number of troops on the gentle slope and prepared the rolling wood and stones.

Although the gentle slope can make people walk up directly, it also maximizes the power of the rolling wood stone. Just throw it down from the top of the city, and the rolling wood stone can roll down the gentle slope, smashing a large area.

But what he never expected was that when Liu Bei's army officially attacked along the gentle slope, the luxurious super fierce general lineup led by Luo Tianming made Cao Ren stunned.

The ordinary soldiers didn't know how powerful these people were, how could Cao Ren not know? Just as he saw the other party's lineup, he lost all his fighting spirit. He quickly arranged a lieutenant to lead people here to defend himself and began to arrange retreat matters.

But Luo Tianming and others came too quickly. When Cao Ren turned to the city wall, Luo Tianming and others had just started to start. When Cao Ren got off the city wall and rode on his horse, before he could gallop a hundred feet out, Luo Tianming and others were already standing on the top of the city!

Although Cao's army was desperately besieging Luo Tianming and others, just looking at the broken limbs and arms flying around like a fountain, Cao Ren knew that no matter how many people went up, it would be useless. He could only order Cao's army to break through and meet in Xudu.

Once the troops of this era are dispersed without restrictions, they can collect 30% of them back, which is considered to be a good way to govern the army.

It’s not that 70% of the soldiers died, but that the soldiers ran away and did not come back.

You should know that in this era, there was no military pay for the military, and most of them were captured.

When you have the opportunity to leave the army, who is willing to go back and work hard for others? Even if you go deep into the mountains and forests and join wild animals, you will become wild beast feces when it will turn into wild beast feces. It is better to live for yourself than to lose your life for others.

It’s not that Cao Ren didn’t know about this situation, but he had no choice. If he gathered his troops and retreated, there would be no chance to retreat.

After the order was issued, Cao's army was in chaos and tens of thousands of people fled in scattered. Even if Liu Bei's army surrounded all four gates, it could not block much.

Luo Tianming was not in a hurry to take down Nanyang City at this time. Anyway, Cao's army was in chaos. Even if Cao Ren took back his order, it would be impossible to reorganize Cao's army in a short time. It would be better to arrest the soldiers of the fleeing Cao's army first.
