Chapter 069: Burning the Black Nest 2
There is a saying in the art of war: if you are doubled, you will attack, and our army can only attack if it is twice as strong as the enemy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But Cao Cao actually rode 5,000 steps to attack Yuan Shao's 10,000 strong soldiers, which is twice as many as the enemy's army, so what is the chance of victory?
Moreover, Wuchao is more than 40 miles away from Guandu, Cao's army sneaked out, and needed to go around more than 20 miles from the back of the village, the cavalry strength was thin, and the infantry could not march alone, and the infantry would be exhausted after walking 60 miles, even if the march was fast, it must have dawned when it arrived at the scheduled battlefield, and the Chun Yuqiong troops of the Yuan army could just wait for work with 10,000 troops, and the probability of victory and defeat was unknown.
In particular, soldiers who march long distances on foot have to carry heavy burdens to hurry. Therefore, each commando must carry a bundle of dry firewood on his back to use as a fire, which can be said to be hard work before fighting, and then fighting after hard work.
Once Yuan Shao was alert and raised his army to encircle and annihilate him, all the personnel who participated in the night attack would be tantamount to embarking on the road of no return.
Cao Cao, as the commander of the whole army, was involved in danger before the enemy, and none of the generals and strategists dissuaded him, not because the generals felt that Cao Cao had to be involved in his back when he was dying, but because the soldiers at this moment understood the commander too well. Boost the morale of the whole army, there is no other way, if Cao Cao wants to sit at home and wait for the results of the battle with a very small victory rate, it is actually more tiring, for Cao Cao, it is not as comfortable as going to the enemy in front of him.
It is definitely not a good thing that the supreme commander of a unit is at the forefront, it can only be said that the situation has deteriorated to the extreme, and the commander is fighting for his life. Cao Jun is just tying Qianjun to a shot at this time, can the Jedi survive?
The wind is quiet, and the night and the moon are ruthless. The road ahead is dark, and the short knife is bright. The general's heart is heavy, and the soldier's blood is congealed. The soul goes with the conscript, and the dream shouts the sound of killing.
It was already five miles away from Yuan Shao's camp, and Cao Cao listened to the marching footsteps of the soldiers, and his heart was like fire. After the dawn of the day, how could the Yuan army along the way be blind, even if he didn't come to intercept it, as long as he returned to Yuan Shao, he and the 5,000 soldiers would be sent into the tiger's mouth.
Since he had already taken the risk, he simply let him take more risks, and he was desperate, what other worries did he have? Immediately give the order, the whole army should light the torches, do not worry about the noise, everything is left alone, as long as it reaches the black nest at dawn.
In an instant, the brigade of several miles became a winding fire dragon, and the speed of the march was not only doubled?
Along the way, Yuan's army was quite well fortified, with secret checkpoints and layers of roads, no matter who came to ask, it was one answer: "It was the general Jiang Qi's department, and he was ordered to help defend the black nest overnight." What are you talking about? Don't want your head? "When carrying out urgent military affairs, if you are hindered, you will be killed.
Under the dim lamp, Cao Jun's men held torches high, illuminating the banner of Yuan Jun above, but the soldiers under the torches were only seen to see a piece of black press, and there was a military advisor Xu You with the army, as for Yuan Jun's password that day? Of course, Xu You, a senior staff officer, did not have secrets that he did not know, and no one in Yuan Jun dared to check any orders and arrows and road guides along the way.
The emperor lived up to his intentions, the sky was already bright, and the black nest had arrived, and it was the critical moment to immediately assault the heavy camp of the Yuan army. After a night of trekking, no one felt difficult, and suddenly everyone was stunned.
A war drum suddenly sounded, and the Chun Yuqiong army, who thought that the defense was lax, seemed to be prepared, and with the war drums thundering, Chun Yuqiong led the army out of the camp.
Cao Cao had a desperate heart, but how could there be a difference between the strength and weakness of the enemy in his eyes? For a moment, his eyes were like fire, his blood was surging on his cheeks, his hair was standing on end, his face was hideous, and he viciously pounced on Chun Yuqiong. The soldiers of the Yuan army have long said that Cao Cao has red eyes and green hair, resembling a demon. All of them were soft and weak, and they didn't listen to their own calls when they wanted to escape, and they roared and screamed, and a ghost howl sounded on the battlefield.
Most of the things in the world are not transferred by people's will. Although Cao Cao marched dangerously and took the lead, he did not hesitate to overdraw his physical strength, and stubbornly urged the army to march quickly, but after all, he walked continuously for more than 60 miles, and even if he marched during the day, it was not half a day. So I forcibly rushed to the black nest, but it was still bright for a while, and the desire to break through the enemy camp in the dark finally did not come true.
In the early morning, Chun Yuqiong received an urgent report from Sergeant Fulu that a force under the banner of Yuan's army, but certainly not Yuan's army, was approaching the barracks.
Chun Yuqiong did not panic, he was not afraid of encountering Cao Jun, otherwise what would he, the general, do here with an army of 10,000 people? On the one hand, he urgently informed the governor General Wei Yuanjin and the cavalry governor Han Juzi, who were camping in the old city not far away, and on the other hand, he flew to report to Yuan Shao, who was crossing the camp of the official crossing, and warned the whole army to stick to the wall.
The main force of the troops coming north to meet the grain truck is in the hands of Chun Yuqiong, as long as Chun Yuqiong can hold the camp of the Wuchaotun grain truck, it is to complete the task, Chun Yuqiong is determined to rely on the wall of the wall, and wait for help.
When he saw the shadow of Cao Jun, Chun Yuqiong's psychology changed: "Even with such a few soldiers and horses, you dare to attack the Wuchao army for a long distance? Are my Chun Yuqiong's troops all scarecrows in the field to scare birds?" He decided to gather troops and go out of the village to meet the enemy.
Chun Yuqiong led the grain protection unit is the elite of the Yuan army, his combat power is second to none in the entire Yuan Shao troops, Chun Yuqiong himself is not only known for his armed forces, but also keen on the battlefield fighting, is a kind of person who is extremely excited when he smells the smell of blood, at this time he led the troops out of the camp, really want to be happy on the battlefield.
The generals of Cao's army turned their attention to Cao Cao when they were shocked: Our army is tired, the enemy army seems to be prepared, and they are waiting for work, can this sneak attack battle be fought?
Things can't allow Cao Cao to hesitate, he doesn't even have time to think, seeing that the Chun Yuqiong army that came out is arranging the formation, if the battle array is good, Cao Jun will no longer have even a chance to win. Cao Cao almost instinctively urged his horse forward, preparing to use himself as an arrow and shoot at the enemy's main general, Chun Yuqiong.
When the war horse was about to gallop, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he was so desperate and hard-working, did he not fall into the arms of the enemy? Where did he have the chance of winning by attacking the enemy's well-fed army with a hungry army? However, he could not delay his action, and in another moment, the enemy's battle formation would be formed, and it would be delusional to wait for the enemy to approach at that time.
Cao Cao hurriedly ordered: "The whole army is divided into zero, and the generals will each lead 500 troops, scatter and surround the enemy village, and the troops who have gone around to the upper hand will raise fire to the village at any time." And Cao Cao himself led more than 100 tiger soldiers from Xu Chu to attack the Chun Yuqiong army in front.
Cao Cao and more than 100 other horsemen had already rushed up, but the other generals could not follow him, only strictly carried out the simple and unquestionable orders issued by Cao Cao, and more than a dozen small detachments scattered around Chun Yuqiong's grain cart camp.
Chun Yuqiong was waving the flag to command the soldiers to line up, and suddenly saw the Cao army not far away like a goddess scattering flowers, surrounding his own camp, Chun Yuqiong was shocked, what did this Cao army want to do? Why didn't you see this general lined up here? I didn't have time to judge, I couldn't think about it, and ordered the bows and crossbows and light cavalry on both wings to rush to the two sides of the camp urgently, and the infantry only guarded the gate of the camp in layers.
There was a whirlwind rolling over the opposite side, the warriors were silent, the hooves of the light horses were smoking, there were only more than a hundred, silent but powerful, fast as an arrow, just like leaving the bowstring, and I suddenly found that the person in the position of the arrow was none other than Cao Cao, whom Chun Yuqiong had seen on the white horse.
Chun Yuqiong's heart was shocked, ecstatic, excited, and confused, today is my auspicious day? Or is the time limit coming? Is it to temporarily retreat to the village to hold on? Or to welcome the wealth sent to hand? The general's bloody nature prevailed, and Chun Yuqiong actually shouted: "Brothers, get out of the way! This Cao Cao belongs to the general!"
This time, the soldiers carried out the military orders very resolutely, and they acted extremely quickly, why? The soldiers did not have the desire to be greedy for merit, and when they heard that Cao Cao was coming, their souls were almost frightened. The soldiers at the front threw their spears at the front of them, turned and fled.
Chun Yuqiong is not a soft persimmon, the big knife in his hand urged the horse to meet it, can not be captured alive, a knife to chop Cao Cao, isn't it also a great credit? It's just that the enemy's horse speed has reached the highest speed, and it is absolutely impossible to hit it hard, as long as it withstands Cao Cao's momentum, everything will be easy to do, and it is possible to capture Cao Cao alive.
Chun Yuqiong's blood was almost boiling, and he and Cao Cao could fight head-on, how could it not make people proud? The big knife couldn't help but pull two beautiful sword flowers in mid-air, and the two horses were about to meet head-on.
Complaining that Cao Cao took the lead in desperately, if the battle of Guandu was defeated, all Cao troops were about to fall into the abyss, even if Cao Cao himself could get away with it, although the world was big at that time, it was difficult to have Cao Cao's hiding place, in fact, life was worse than death. Instead of going back and lingering, why not stain the battlefield with blood?
Since Cao Cao had a desperate heart, how could there be a difference between the strength and weakness of the enemy in his eyes? For a while, his eyes breathed fire, his blood surged on his cheeks, his hair stood on end, his face was hideous, and he pounced on Chun Yuqiong with a vicious horse. The soldiers of the Yuan army have long said that Cao Cao has red eyes and green hair, resembling a demon. All of them were soft, and they didn't listen to their own calls when they wanted to escape, and their exclamations were already straightened, and a ghost howl sounded on the battlefield.
It's just that Chun Yuqiong is a bold outlaw, who has always been more and more evil on the battlefield, and he is cool-headed, and when he sees Cao Cao like this, he is very happy in his heart. Secretly flicked the war horse to the left, ready to let Cao Cao's direct momentum and give Cao Cao a knife in the back.
If the more than 100 tigers led by Cao Cao are compared to a sharp arrow, then Cao Cao is undoubtedly an arrowhead, and the tip of the arrow is the riding lance held by Cao Cao.
Seeing that the two of them saw life and death in an instant, Chun Yuqiong's war horse had already deviated to the left according to the strength of the master's legs, and let go of the distance of three steps.
I saw a general's broad shoulders and round waist, shaped like evil, and the war horse under his crotch seemed to be frightened, and hit Chun Yuqiong directly; the machete in his hand was aimed at Chun Yuqiong head-on, and Chun Yuqiong had to parry a move before speaking.
This is Xu Chu, he saw that the situation was not good, his heart was like being struck by lightning, but Cao Cao's horse was faster than himself, how could he catch up with the rescue? In a hurry, the big knife in his hand stabbed his war horse fiercely, and the horse's butt was like an arrow, and the skin turned over and blood sprayed, and he was frightened in an instant, and people were desperate, and the horse was rushing wildly, and he actually crossed Cao Cao, so that Xu Chu and Chun Yuqiong had the first hand.
The big blades of the two sides collided in mid-air, and a thunderbolt was hit in mid-air, sparks flew in the loud noise, and Chun Yuqiong's arms, under the shock of the huge force, seemed to be dislocated, and he couldn't fall down for a while in his original posture. Xu Chu's war horse was wasted, and he didn't obey his control and rushed forward. But Chun Yuqiong did not die on the spot, Xu Chu didn't have time to give Chun Yuqiong a second blow, and had already rushed into Chun Yuqiong's chaotic army.
