Chapter 306 – Setbacks of Cao Cao
While Tong and his men were eying on Xiongnu's movements, Cao Cao was in a bad mood.
Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, and Pu Jing utilized modern warfare tactics, deploying explosive bombardment, ambushes, guerilla warfare, and ranged infantries. Unfortunately, they could not keep up with Khan's massive army.
For every five men that they killed, one of Cao Cao's soldiers fell. This trend lasted for a month before the fall of Luo Yang.
Cheng Yu stared at the direction of Luo Yang while he stood on the Hulao Gate. He lamented, "We have been cheated by Heaven! Those endless troopers are not fair at all!"
Standing by Cheng Yu's side, Pu Jing shook his head, "All is fair in wars. Only this time, they possess a better skill and have the number advantage. If we look at the performance of our soldiers and our officers, we have the advantage in the prolonged war."
"How so? If they have infinite troops, how can we have the advantage?"
