Chapter 067: The Battle of Guandu 4

"Okay, Liu Yuanjun is willing to take the lead in crossing the river, this is the real hero of the Han Dynasty. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Yuan Shao said loudly.

Seeing that they set the tune so high, singing and harmonizing, it seemed that whoever did not cross the river was not a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, how could they dare to oppose it again, so they had to reluctantly express their attitude: "We are willing to cross the river." ”

Seeing that the general trend was unchangeable, he looked at the rolling Yellow River and sighed repeatedly: "Alas...... , on the ambition, under the work, the Yellow River, I don't contradict!"

Yuan Shao couldn't bear it anymore when he heard that he dared to say frustrating words, and asked, "What do you mean by this?

"Don't dare. Frustrated and shook his head helplessly: "Chen Li will stop if he can't, he is a mediocre talent, and he can't command soldiers and horses to defeat Cao Cao, please allow the lord to resign as the governor of the capital." ”

As soon as these words came out, those who were dissatisfied with the main battle or not, and the first to oppose it: "How can the great enemy change his generals at present? ”

Han Xun also said: "How can Brother Frustrated shirk his responsibility? Even if he does not agree to cross the river, the general should seek common ground while reserving differences if he has an order." You are in charge of the army, and the brothers still have some confidence in their hearts. ”

Even Guo Tu couldn't look at it: "If you want to resign, you should say it early, and now that the army is about to cross the river, isn't this confusing the army's mind? This is absolutely not good! You have to do it, and you have to do it if you don't do it!"

Frustration is half sad and half angry, no matter how others persuade him, he just insists on not doing it. Yuan Shao's anger finally stirred up, and he shouted sharply: "Don't persuade anyone, don't do it if you don't do it! If you don't fight with one person, won't you fight? Guo Gongze, from now on, all his soldiers and horses will be at your disposal." ”

Everyone was not happy about this decision. Although Guo Tu was resolute and resolute, he was sometimes too extreme, and his personality was ruthless, so Gao Ran, Zhang He and others were unwilling to work with him; Both ends are not very happy, but Yuan Shao wants to arrange it like this, what can be done?

He angrily pointed at his frustrated nose and said: "If you don't do it, don't plan to be idle, this general has reduced you to a staff officer to accompany the army, you don't want to go back to Yecheng and follow me across the river." ”

The general was furious. Liu Bei hurriedly played a round: "Let's arrange important things quickly." ”

Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief before saying: "Liu Yuanjun's courage is commendable, but you have a lot of hard work in the east and west, so let's call Wen Chou the pioneer to cross the river first." He was not worried about Liu Bei's ability.

Liu Bei was bent on finding Guan Yu, so he was willing to give up: "General, don't miss my ambition." ”

"Liu Yuanjun don't fight. Guo Tu said: "I think so, Wen Chou led the cavalry to cross the river first, and you supervised the infantry to help, and it would be more secure for you to cooperate with each other." ”

Liu Bei still wanted to fight again, but Yuan Shao waved his hand and said: "It's decided, the boat is launched, the pioneer Wen Chou quickly crosses the river, and Liu Zhijun is the second." As soon as you reach the other side, head east, and perhaps intercept Cao Cao's troops. The other troops lined up and crossed the river in turn, and went to send a message to Chun Yuqiong, telling him to come over quickly. ”

The generals Yuan Shao insisted on going his own way, and they all secretly spoke, turning their heads to look at the frustration. The big staff officer was already disheartened, looking at the boat on the big river with empty eyes, as if he didn't care about anything anymore, and Wen Chou couldn't wait to lead the troops on the boat.

Although Cao Cao relieved the siege of Baima, he knew that this place could not be defended, so he hurriedly called Liu Yan to call on the people to move. For a time, there was an uproar in and out of the city, and the people poured into the army with the old and the young, and some people were reluctant to carry their belongings, carrying and procrastinating, and the movement was very slow.

Seeing that it was almost time, it was impossible to turn back to Guandu today, and such a slow march would inevitably be intercepted by Yuan's army, Cao Cao discussed with Xun You, and decided to lead the cavalry to guard the grain and grass first, and strive to establish a large village south of Baima Mountain first, so as to cover the infantry and the people.

Under the leadership of Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Guan Yu, the cavalry marched in a hurry for a while, and came to the canyon on the southern slope of Baima Mountain. Zhu Ling had already led his troops back to Guandu, and Yu Ban led a group of soldiers and horses to the west, crossing Du Shijin to attack the Hebei military camp.

Yanjin's luring army finally succeeded in transferring, and the big stone in Cao Cao's heart fell to the ground, and he hurriedly ordered people to set up a camp outside the valley to urge the heavy vehicles to move forward quickly. Unexpectedly, gongs, drums, tents, antlers, horses and other items have not yet arrived, and another scout has rushed over: "Yuan Shao's former army has crossed the river, and some soldiers and horses are coming in the direction of Baima Mountain." ”

"Ah?!" Cao Cao was taken aback: "Before meeting with Chun Yuqiong, he ordered to rush to the crossing, how dare Yuan Shao take such a risk to use troops?"

"He's a blind cat who's really run into us dead rats. Xun You smiled bitterly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the back, in the crooked and narrow valley, Cao Jun's baggage carts were densely packed into several teams, and it was too late to turn out of the southern valley, the infantry behind could not catch up, and the cavalry at hand was only five hundred soldiers.

Xu Huang hurriedly suggested: "I don't want these things, let's retreat south quickly, go around the White Horse Mountain and rush back to Guandu overnight. "It's a no-brainer.

Cao Cao didn't seem to hear it at all, and patted his head lightly and said, "Order the scouts to go up the mountain and watch, but to see how many people they come." ”

Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and the others were all confused, and even the 500 soldiers still had to fight with others? But Cao Cao did not dare to say anything even if he gave such an order, and gathered his subordinates to prepare for action. Everyone waited for a moment without saying a word, and suddenly heard the scouts shouting on the top of the mountain: "I saw Yuan Jun coming, there are five or six hundred horsemen, and there are ...... behind."

This number was already evenly matched, and the generals gradually became worried, but the scouts shouted again: "I can't count, there are at least four or five thousand infantry in the brigade!"

The difference in strength of ten to one is simply not able to resist, but now it is too late to run. Cao Cao looked around the landscape and ordered: "Abandon the baggage vehicles, all the horse infantry will go around to the south of the valley for me to hide, and send someone to tell the rear army to stop marching." ”

"What's the use of this?" the generals looked at each other.

"What are you doing in a daze! Hurry up and act!" Cao Cao shouted.

In a chaotic manner, the soldiers who drove the carts and carts all rushed out of the valley, and the generals also led the cavalry around the back of the mountain. Cao Cao found a dense forest halfway up the mountainside, smiled with the military advisor Xun You, and the two of them dismounted separately and hid inside as if they were strolling in a leisurely garden. All the generals felt inexplicable, placed the soldiers, and dismounted and followed.

The noisy valley fell silent immediately, and everyone craned their necks from behind cover to watch the movement. After a while, the sound of tuk tuk horses' hooves was gradually heard, and it became louder and louder. Everyone held their breath and stared, and they saw the smoke and dust rising in the northwest of the valley, and a group of cavalry flashed out, and those soldiers saw the heavy vehicles all over the road, but there was no trace of Cao Bing, and they were stunned for a while, I don't know what kind of formation this is?

First of all, there was a seven-foot-tall man, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist and shoulders hugged, his face was like a purple sheep's liver, he said that he was not red and said that he was not yellow and had a bearded face, as if he was a steel needle and iron wire, and his ears were full of hair, and his ears were wide and wide, his eyebrows were fighting, his eyes were triangular, his nose was hooked, his mouth was water chestnut, his chin was pouted, and his facial features were ugly like apes. Tiger skin quiver, riding a big white horse under his crotch, holding a three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand, like a gorilla in armor, bursting out of his eyebrows with a cold murderous aura.

Zhang Liao once followed Lu Bu under Yuan Shao's account, understood at a glance, and came to Cao Cao's side and said: "This guy is Wen Chou, it's not easy to deal with." ”

Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao covered his mouth: "Quieter voice." ”

The enemy is in the light and in the dark, Xu Huang seems to understand, tiptoe to Cao Cao's ear and whisper: "The last general is over now, kill him by surprise." ”

Cao Cao held on to the branch and looked again, Wen Chou sat on the horse and looked left and right, watching the six roads and listening to all directions, holding the hilt of the knife tightly in his hand, as if he was very alert; the cavalry beside him were all white horses of the same color, all holding spears and carrying bows and arrows, as if they were elite masters. Cao Cao frowned for a while: "This guy looks quite shrewd." ”

Xun You reminded in a low voice: "Let the horses go." ”

"What?" Xu Huang didn't understand.

Cao Cao suddenly realized, and said with excitement: "Tell the soldiers to take off the saddle and let dozens of horses out." As soon as the enemy is in disarray, they will be raided, and you will all go down and prepare. ”

Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, and even Xu Chu and Cao Chun all stepped lightly on the south slope, muttering to the soldiers and acting according to the plan. He untied more than twenty horses, took off the bridles of the saddles, and drove them into the valley. The military horses are all tame, chirping crookedly for a long time without moving, and they dare not whip hard to make a sound. In desperation, Xu Chu picked up a big iron spear and poked it at the buttocks of a horse, so painful that the horse screamed, spread its hooves and ran out.

Wen Chou looked at the baggage all over the ground, and expected that things would not be so simple, seeing that the soldiers around him were eager to go over to grab something, he hurriedly grabbed the big knife and pressed them. As he was talking, he suddenly saw a shadow rushing out of the valley mouth in the south. He was clever and immediately ordered an attack, but after the soldiers let it go, they saw clearly that it was an unridden horse, followed by two, three, and four, and a large group of hulala.

The soldiers who rushed over were overjoyed, thinking it was a herd of wild horses, and they all fought to contain the horses. Some people jumped down to snatch heavy weapons and weapons, and some opened their bags to load dry food. Wen Chou saw that the situation was completely chaotic, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop! Stop! Get on my horse!"

At this moment, he heard the shout of killing the heavens, and the cavalry of Cao Ying poured out from the mouth of the valley in the south. Before the soldiers under Wen Chou's command could understand what was going on, a large number of them were killed, and those who dismounted were even more shocked and fled. But where could the narrow valley escape? Naturally, they were driven to their own rear. The Wen Chou camp rushed into a pot of porridge, and Cao Jun took advantage of the situation to rush towards him: "Kill!

Wen Chou was indeed very good, and with a swing of the big knife in his hand, he split two Cao soldiers in a row and fled. Xu Huang took the two deputy generals Xu Shang and Lu Jianben to the front, and he was about to chase a horse title and a tail. Suddenly, Wen Chou had already set up a bow in his hand, and the rhinoceros Mochizuki swooped an arrow into Xu Shang's mount, and even the people and horses fell to the ground, and several people tripped down.

Wen Chou's secret arrow was successful, and the generals were on guard, who knew that he could still open the bow left and right, and his body turned over and fired an arrow from his left hand, hitting Lu Jian's right arm, and it hurt so much that Lu Jian's steel knife took off his hand and immediately stopped on the horse. Xu Huang was extremely angry, and hurriedly urged the war horse to rush behind him, who knew that Wen Chou was as fast as an ape, and he had already abandoned his bow and changed his sword, and turned around with a horizontal split.

Xu Huang was shocked, and hurriedly ducked in the saddle to dodge, but the helmet was cut off by him. Wen Chou succeeded again, drove the defeated army and quickly retreated westward, and suddenly saw another red-faced general in the Cao army's formation, holding a glaive knife to chase after him. Wen Chou's eyes rolled, and he wanted to use the skill of dragging the knife again, but the red rabbit horse galloped very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he galloped to his side, and Guan Yunchang raised his knife and slashed. Wen Chou was so frightened that the three souls went out of his body, and hurriedly moved to parry, and finally escaped, but Guan Yu blocked the horse in front of him.

The way to escape was blocked, Wen Chou panicked and hurriedly attacked with a knife, but Guan Yu blocked left and right, just didn't let him pass. Between the two generals, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Cao Chun, Xiahou Bo and a group of cavalry all caught up, and more than a dozen blades greeted Wen Chou together.

Cao Cao and Xun You had also gone down the mountain, shouting repeatedly: "Don't delay, quickly pursue the enemy!"

Cao Bing's less than 500 horsemen were all brave, carrying the butts of the defeated army forward to kill. Yuan Jun had already lost his commander, and when he heard the shouts echoing in the valley, he thought that Cao's army was in the thousands, and he ran for his life. The cavalry lost more than half, and the few who escaped from the mouth of the West Valley stepped into the oncoming infantry ranks. For a while, they trampled on each other, killed and injured countless people, and the people behind didn't know what was going on, so they turned around and fled with the governor, and the army collapsed.
