Chapter 547: Defeat Cao Cao
The drums of war roared again.
Cao Cao used the Hebei headquarters led by Gao Ran as a reserve, and now this reserve has also begun to move.
They slowly retreated, one after the other, one after the other, without any gaps allowing Yuan Yao's army on the opposite side to take advantage of it.
Yuan Yao was more cautious with the Hebei Army than with Cao Cao's original Yanzhou Army, because the Hebei Army was very familiar with the cavalry battle, after all, when there was no chaos in the world, the Hebei Army was facing the cavalry of foreign tribes outside the Saiwai.
After that, the Hebei army fought with Gongsun Zhan, and he was very familiar with the cavalry.
If Yuan Yao starts from the top now, he can only fight into a stalemate, even if the Xuanjia army goes into battle, Yuan Yao does not have the confidence to completely tear apart Gao Lan's military formation.
However, Yuan Yao would not give up this opportunity to encircle and annihilate Cao Cao's main force, so Yuan Yao was about to grit his teeth and pit the hard bone of Gao Ran with a wave of his hand.
was stopped by Xu Shu on the side.
"Lord, Gao Ran has been prepared for a long time, and attacking it now will only be thankless, on the contrary, it will increase the casualties of our army!" Gao Ran is a new strength, but Yuan Yao's soldiers and horses have already been beaten, plus they have been beaten all the way, this is not far from Lao Cao's camp, and it is a big deal that Cao Cao will not want Gao Lan's army, which is enough for him Cao Cao to hide in the camp.
"Although Cao Cao made Gao Ran the most pro-guard to show his favor for Gao Ran, this is also a lack of attention to Gao Ran!" What Cao Cao cares about is his original soldiers and horses, and his original team.
"Instead of adding damage here, it is better to transfer the troops and horses, let Cao Cao retreat into the camp, we will immediately transfer the troops and horses, you must know that Cao Cao's left army has been blocked by General Chen Zhi in the Lujiang generation, and now as long as our army presses, it will definitely be able to annihilate Cao Cao's left army, as the saying goes, it is better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers!" Xu Shu continued to persuade Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao is full of resentment towards Cao Cao, this Cao Heizi will come to engage himself twice as soon as he has the ability, this is the second time to attack him Yuan Yao, and the fourth time to attack Huainan. That's why Yuan Yaocai was so persistent in wanting to catch Cao Cao.
And now that he heard what Xu Shu meant, Yuan Yao also slowly calmed down his anger.
Cutting people with a blunt knife is more uncomfortable than killing, and now Yuan Yao is going to knock out Cao Cao's soldiers and horses piece by piece, once there is a problem with the main force of Cao Cao's army, can Yuan Shao of Hebei still sit still? At that time, it was him Cao Cao who was besieged by wolves.
"Let's go!" Yuan Yao waved his hand, and directly took his soldiers and horses back to help, dragging Chen Dao's soldiers and horses from Cao Cao's army on the left.
"Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu, why did you give birth to such a cunning little fox!" Cao Cao couldn't help but scold when he saw that Yuan Yao was not fooled, originally Cao Cao's idea was to use himself as a bait to drag Yuan Yao so that the main army of Yanzhou could retreat and even rely on the camp, Cao Cao could still hit Yuan Yao Xiao'er hard, but he didn't expect Yuan Yao Xiao'er to be fooled, on the contrary, he turned his horse's head and left.
How could Cao Cao not know what Yuan Yao Xiao'er was thinking, but Cao Cao now had no soldiers in his hands, so it was difficult to support him at all.
I could only scold over there, and in my heart I was blessed by the other Cao soldiers and horses who were dragged by the Huainan army.
Xu Huangdianwei plus a Yu Ban This is the configuration of Cao Cao's army on the left, it stands to reason that such a military general is equipped, it is really an elite combination.
Yu Ban is good at training, the soldiers and horses in his hands are all elites, Xu Huang is good at commanding troops, he dared to fight against Li Yu and Guo Yan in the hands of Yang Feng, and even in the battle with Cao Cao, he was the only soldier and horse that gave Cao Cao a headache.
Later, he took refuge in Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also reused Xu Huang.
There is also a strong martial arts Dian Wei, with Dian Wei, basically as long as he is not beaten by a shameless combination like Liu Guanzhang, there will be no problem.
But it was such a foolproof combination, but it was blocked on the way by Chen Zhi and his subordinate Yu Linwei.
You Dian Wei led the elite of the army on the left to rush through Chen Zhi's encirclement.
Xu Huang and Dian Wei went hand in hand, Yu Ban was in charge of the Chinese army, and Cao Cao's army was worthy of being elite, even if it was besieged, it was also an orderly impact on Chen Zhi's soldiers and horses.
Yuan Yao saw that if he didn't come, I was afraid that Chen Zhi would not be able to hold on, after all, Chen Zhi had the ability, but it was difficult to find a way to encounter such three top ten combinations.
Although Chen Zhi is very strong in martial arts, he is still one point worse than Zhi Dianwei, so he can't kill the generals in front of the battle to boost morale, and in terms of training, Yuan Yao has already begun to defend and let Chen Zhi go to form soldiers and horses by himself.
But it is obvious that Chen Zhi is still a little immature, and he can't catch up with Xu Huang, a battle-hardened person.
This is obvious that Dian Wei is on a rampage, as the head coach Chen Zhi should be in the overall planning and stability maintenance, on the edge of Shuai Qi, commanding the soldiers and horses under his command is what should be done, but now Chen Zhi is leaving Shuai Qi, but instead taking his soldiers and horses to try to block Dian Wei.
Dian Wei is a decoy, Yu Ban is commanding his subordinates to break through in another direction in the Chinese army, and once Chen Zhi penetrates into the enemy formation, it will be difficult for him to see Yu Ban's movements, if Yuan Yao arrives a little later, Yu Ban and the others will break through.
Yuan Yao immediately took over the commander's military banner, and the orders under his hand were issued one after another
Under the command of Zhao Yun, the Xuanjia army did not go to help Chen Dao, on the contrary, the Xuanjia army directly bypassed the entire Chen Dao's soldiers and horses to the other side of the road, which was the place chosen by Yu Ban and Xu Huang to break through.
"Not good!" How could Xu Huang and Yu Ban not see Chen Dao's reinforcements coming, but he didn't have the slightest solution, and originally expected Dian Wei to attract more firepower to relieve their side.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Yao didn't eat this set at all, and directly blocked his Xu Huang and Yu Ban's way back.
"The Xuanjia army dismounts and lines up!" Zhao Yun took over Yuan Yao's order, and all the Xuanjia heavy cavalry came down from the war horses, dragged their heavy armor, and used the war horses as cover to block them in front of Yu Ban and Xu Huang.
"Brethren, we can only survive if we rush through!" Xu Huang and Yu Ban gritted their teeth, they knew that unless they tore through the formation of the Xuanjia Army, otherwise, they would not want to walk over alone.
"The lord has an order, not to let any Cao army leave here! The Xuanjia army is alone, and the military formation must not retreat a step! Zhao Yun's military order was also issued.
"Fight to the death, fight to the death, fight to the death!" The Xuanjia heavy cavalry shouted loudly.
"Boom!" Yu Ban and Xu Huang's soldiers and horses collided with the Xuanjia heavy cavalry, most of the Xuanjia army were heavily armored, and even the war horses were covered with iron armor, so the defense line composed of the Xuanjia army was impregnable by counting money.
And over there, Xu Huang and Yu Ban's subordinates are like arrows, they also found out, there is a Xuanjia army blocking the way in front, and there are Chen Zhi's soldiers and horses chasing and intercepting in the back, there is no choice, rushing over is a way to live, if you can't rush over, it will be a dead end.
Fortunately, the defense line formed by the Xuanjia army did not block the entire road, and the number of Xuanjia heavy cavalry was only two or three thousand, so they could only stop more than half, and the remaining half could still run over. Even the Xuanjia Army seemed to have a deliberate look, and a small part of the lucky ones who could pass through it ran directly through the gap, while the Xuanjia Army didn't move at all
"Damn it!" Xu Huang saw the gap exposed by the Xuanjia, not only was he not happy, but his face was completely gloomy.
If you want to take it, you must go before it, the current Zhao Yun's Xuanjia heavy cavalry gave Cao Cao's Yanzhou army a hope of life, before the Xuanjia army was blocked on the back road, everyone thought that they were dead, and there was a blockade before and then chasing the soldiers, so one by one they were holding the idea that they were all dead anyway, and they could pull a cushion back when they rushed over, and now it is different, Zhao Yun They actually took the initiative to get out of the way, who is willing to die all the way in the case of a way to live!
"Kill!" Xu Huang wanted to take the lead in the charge, but the people's hearts were already scattered, originally they and Chen Zhi had been fighting here for a long time, and their physical strength was already exhausted, and now they had the idea that it was better to die than to live, and the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and Chen Zhi's soldiers and horses behind him also followed, and Xu Huang and Yu Ban's Chinese army was compressed step by step The living space was compressed.
"Don't panic, don't panic, as long as we work together to rush into battle, we will definitely be able to fight our way out of the encirclement!" Xu Huang shouted in the army, saying that Xu Huang was strict in governing the army and had Zhou Yafu's success, but who cares about you Xu Huang at this time.
When people's hearts are in turmoil, no one wants to die, no one wants to use their lives to rush the heavy positions of the Xuanjia Army, and leave the hope of life to others.
Once Xu Huang's army is not aligned, then Xu Huang's soldiers and horses are already doomed.
Countless Cao Cao's Yanzhou soldiers no longer obey orders at all, and whoever dares to stand in front of them, whether it is their own people or the enemy, is a sword.
The soldiers and horses had already begun to rout, and everyone was crowding towards the gap left by the Xuanjia Army, but how many people could walk at one time in such a small place? The man who was stopped behind could only wave his steel knife at the friendly soldiers in front of him in order to survive.
"Damn!" Dian Wei drove Chen Zhi away, he also discovered the problem of the Chinese army, and wanted to lead the elite of the army back to rescue, but unfortunately Chen Zhi did not agree.
"It's impossible to leave!" Chen Zhi's martial arts heads-up may not be Dian Wei's opponent, but it is still possible to hold Dian Wei for a while.
Left and right can't rush in, although Dian Wei is a intestine, but he also knows that it is difficult to return to the sky, and under the persuasion of the guards on the side, he can only retreat first.
In Cao Cao's camp, he had no soldiers and horses to come to support, Xu Huang and Yu Ban could only wait for the news of the defeat to come.
Sure enough, soon Cao Cao's face darkened again, and Yuan Yao grabbed him, and Cao Cao's army on the left was flattened.
Except for the personal guard battalion of Commander Dian Wei, the rest such as Yu Ban's Tuntian Army and Xu Huang's Xiliang Army were all defeated and returned.
Xu Huang's Xiliang Army has even been defeated, who let these Xiliang Army have the custom of being outside the plug, and they like to hang a few pieces of gold and silver on their bodies to show off, who is not robbed of you.
Yu Ban's Yanzhou army was a little better, but it was not much better, and the 10,000 army set off and came back with less than 3,000, and everyone was wounded.
At this moment, Yuan Yao really fought a turnaround battle.
Yuan Yao sat in the big camp, and someone had already cleaned up the battlefield over there, and with such a victory, Yuan Yao's Huainan Army could be described as shining.
Yuan Yao's Huainan army had been avoiding battles before, even if Lao Cao fought Huainan, Yuan Yao just hid in the city to defend against Cao Cao, and even asked Xu Shu to take his soldiers and horses to repair the plank road to secretly attack Xu Du, but Yuan Yao was unwilling and did not want to fight Cao Cao head-on.
The only time they started to fight head-on, it was also after a while, and they retreated regardless of victory or defeat.
Now it's different, Yuan Yao fought a big victory in a dignified manner, how can he not raise his eyebrows, his father Yuan Shu didn't beat Cao Cao and was killed by Cao Cao, and his uncle Yuan Shao didn't beat Cao Cao either, and was beaten twice by Cao Cao on top of Guandu, and his Yuan family also gave the Yuan family this breath to him.
The generals of the Huainan Army are also full of interest, all of them have been collected, and they are still clamoring for a night attack, and Sun Qian is responsible for the overall planning of grain, grass and ordnance, so he simply took out all the torches and utensils, and he was really ready for a night battle.
"Okay, okay, in the past few days, you are all conscientious, go all out, everyone has worked hard, considering the fatigue of the soldiers, if you take advantage of the victory to pursue, it is inevitable that Cao Cao will seize the opportunity and give the order, except for the people who defend the camp, the rest of the soldiers will go to have a good rest, this battle still has to be fought, don't worry at this time!" Yuan Yao pacified the Huainan army generals below.
"Lord, what if this Cao Cao runs away in the night?"
"Haha!" Yuan Yao laughed, "Not to mention his one-night kung fu, where can he Cao Cao run to, even if he escapes, chase him, I'm really not afraid that Cao Cao will escape!" ”
Yuan Yao looked at the camp of Cao Cao's army in the night, if Cao Cao did not run and then held on, Cao Cao's army on the right would inevitably come to the rescue, and then Yuan Yao would storm Cao Cao's army camp, and attack the city, the casualties were not small.
What's more, Yuan Yao has now solved Cao Cao's army of more than 10,000 people, although Cao Cao's main force is broken, but the remaining strength is still there.
Yuan Yao wanted Cao Cao to run, not not to run, only when Yuan Yao ran could he gather absolute soldiers and horses to chase after Cao Cao's ass for a round of Ha Sahei.
If Cao Cao made up his mind to fight Yuan Yao here, Yuan Yao would have a headache, Cao Cao went out to Huainan like this with an army of 40,000, most of which were elite.
Now more than 10,000 were killed by Yuan Yao in the first battle, and the rest is nearly 30,000 horses.
With the guard of a large battalion, Yuan Yao wants to enter it, at least he has to lose about 50,000 troops.
He Yuan Yao didn't dare to play like this, this was definitely a loss-making deal, but if he could catch Cao Cao, he would also make money, it depended on how he Yuan Yao chose.
What Yuan Yao didn't know was that Cao Cao's right side of the army and horses would not have time to return to help, if Yuan Yao knew, he would definitely decide to attack at night, Cao Cao now has about 10,000 soldiers and horses in the camp, among which there are thousands of wounded, he Yuan Yao is enough to gather the main force to pull out Cao Cao's camp, once Cao Cao is in hand, what is he Yuan Yao afraid of?
But this is the case, Cao Cao got the news that his right army had no time to come back to help, and even Cao Cao didn't dare to let the right army come to save him, because he was afraid that if Yuan Yao Xiao'er came to encircle and send reinforcements, it would be bad.
So Lao Cao shook a shot in the camp and added a stove in the camp, so that Yuan Yao's scouts thought that Cao Cao's reinforcements were about to arrive, and Yuan Yao was thinking about whether to smash Cao Cao to death, seize Cao Cao to threaten the entire Yanzhou to join him, or something else.
Just as Yuan Yao was thinking, Lao Cao directly took the vanguard army and started running.
After leaving Gao Ran and those remnants of the defeated generals, he took the main force and ran directly towards Xuzhou like a rabbit.
"Cao Cao really ran away?" Yuan Yao learned that Cao Cao ran away not because he saw the main force of Cao's army, but because he got the news, that is, Lao Cao's army on the right could not come, it was the rainy season, and the Huainan generation was already muddy, and the drainage was not good in some places, so he couldn't come for ten days and half a month without the right army.
"I gave up such a good opportunity in vain!" Yuan Yao regretted it in his heart, and sent his men to chase after Cao Cao's ass.
Cao Cao hadn't been gone for long, and it would be too late for him Yuan Yao to catch up now.
Yuan Yao immediately prepared to take his subordinate Yu Linwei to chase and kill Cao Cao in person, and he didn't care about raising the tent to order troops.
"Slow down!" Tian Feng over there intercepted Yuan Yao.
"What's wrong?" Yuan Yao looked at Tian Feng suspiciously. "Lord, if you chase you out like this, you will inevitably fall for Cao Cao's treacherous scheme!" Tian Feng said to Yuan Yao.
"Huh?" Yuan Yao was a little puzzled.
Tian Feng further explained: "This Cao Cao has been fighting for so many years, and he has long developed the habit of being cautious, if you chase and kill the lord at this moment, I can't say that this Cao Cao is in ambush in front of you, waiting for you!" ”
Chasing down the enemy is a good thing, but you are also led by the nose.
The other party is the initiative, he ran away and you chased him, you don't know anything about the front, and if you don't do it, you can be ambushed. And the direction of Cao Cao's retreat is the Yanzhou generation, which is Cao Cao's territory, "So what should I do?" Yuan Yao frowned, "Don't you chase it?" Yuan Yao was not willing to let Cao Cao go like this, at least he had to swallow the soldiers and horses he put into Huainan.
"Don't be impatient, my lord!" Tian Feng said with a smile.
"Lord, this Cao Cao has fought for so many years, and he plans to retreat, he must be prepared, if our army rushes out, it is bound to fight against Cao Cao's soldiers and horses and ambush soldiers, and I am not familiar with our army in Yanzhou, even if the Xuanjia Army Yu Linwei wants to win, it is very difficult, and it may even be severely damaged by Cao Cao! So the lord might as well give Cao Cao a credit! ”
"Give credit to Cao Cao?" Yuan Yao was even more confused.
"If the lord sends a chasing army all the way, then he will inevitably be ambushed, but what if the lord you send a second and third army?" Tian Feng asked rhetorically.
If he Yuan Yao wanted to retreat, he would leave behind the troops behind the palace like Cao Cao, as well as leave an ambush, and the enemy's meritorious service would inevitably be deceived.
However, if Yuan Yao succeeds in the ambush circle, he will immediately clean up and escape, and he will feel a lot more relieved in his heart, and give the enemy a heavy blow to the pursuing troops.
"You mean to ask me to send a soldier and horse to Cao Cao to eat? Send the elite to hang behind again? Yuan Yao also slowly kept up with Tian Feng's rhythm.
"Yes!" Tian Feng said with a smile.
"And who should I send?" Yuan Yao frowned again, this was simply pushing his soldiers and horses into the fire pit, and using the smallest price in exchange for Cao Cao's laxity to kill Cao Cao in front of Cao Cao in one fell swoop.
"Pai Zilong?" The martial arts in Yuan Yao's hands is the highest in Zhao Yun, and Lu Bu is still in Shouchun.
"My lord!" Tian Feng shook his head: "General Zilong's martial arts are strong, if he is sent like this, it will inevitably make Cao Cao suspicious!" "Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses are the Xuanjia Army, and the Xuanjia Army is the elite, not to mention that Yuan Yao is reluctant, if Zhao Yun fights hard, Lao Cao's heart will be more worried, and the strategy behind this will be difficult to succeed.
"What about Uncle Zhi?" Yuan Yao thought of Chen Dao, and the white-eared soldiers in Chen's hands were slowly taking shape.
"No, General Chen Zhi is too upright!" Tian Feng said to Yuan Yao, if Chen Zhi is sent out, he may die on the battlefield.
"Lord, I have a candidate!" Tian Feng spoke directly.
"Oh?" Yuan Yao looked at Tian Feng, "Mr. Tian Feng, I also have a personal choice!" "After Yuan Yao sent Zhao Yun and Chen to arrive, he also remembered that one person is very suitable for this mission.
"Then why don't you write it down with me on the palm of your hand to see if we choose the same person!" Tian Feng said with a smile. 、
"That's great!" Yuan Yao was also smiling.
The two of them each wrote a name and two words in their hands, and both of them laughed out loud in this comparison.
……
"Ah Qiu, Ah Qiu!" In the camp of Yuan Yaozhong's army, our General Huang Yi didn't know why he sneezed twice in a row.
"General, what's wrong with you, are you infected with the wind cold?" A few of Huang Yi's doglegs on the side asked with concern. "I have an ancestral secret recipe here, which is very effective against contracting wind and cold!"
"Go, go, General Ben is strong and strong, how can he be infected with wind and cold!" Huang Yi waved his hand and said impatiently to a few dogs over there: "It must be a beauty who misses General Ben again!" Hey! Saying that, Huang Yi's face showed a lewd smile.
"That's, that's, general, you're suave, heroic, naturally you are liked and missed by thousands of beauties!" A smooth sycophant was patted up.
"Don't look at you generals, who I am!" Huang Yi is very angry, he is a relative of the emperor in Huainan, Yuan Yao's Huainan is rising step by step, he Huang Yi is also up, he Huang Yi is also up, he used to be a small county town in Jiangzhou, he Huang Yi can only be obscene, but now it is different, the Huainan army even defeated Cao Cao, and even taught Jiangdong Sun Biyan a grandson, seeing that Yuan Yao is about to replace his uncle in Hebei to become the most powerful among the princes of the late Han Dynasty, how can he Huang Yi not be angry?
Huang Yi was just about to talk about the exploits of General Huang again, when he suddenly couldn't help but get up again, "Ah Qiu, Ah Qiu, Ah Qiu" sneezed three times in a row.
"General, you, you!" The people on the side didn't know what to say.
Huang Yi rubbed his nose, "What did you just say, your ancestral secret recipe, get me a pair!" ”
"Howler!" There is such an opportunity to pull the yellow ripples, and no one will let go.
Huang Yi also wondered, he had been fighting with the army for the past few days, and following Yuan Yao's army, he had no chance to go to Fenghua Xueyue at all, how could he be infected with wind and cold? But this sneeze is one after another, as the saying goes, a sudden sneeze is someone misses, so many sneeze what does it mean? I don't know why, Huang Yi had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Knock knock!" Drums sounded in the tent of Yuan Yao, the commander of the Chinese army's battalion, which was the drum of the Chinese army's deliberations.
Although Huang Yi was a little hesitant, he also knew the priorities.
This Chinese army is bound to have important matters to discuss, although it will not be decided before someone comes to the point, but it will definitely not be spared.
So Huang Yi couldn't care about the typhoid medicine, and went directly to the big tent of the Chinese army.
"You're all here, aren't you?" Over there, Yuan Yao looked at a group of generals of the Huainan Army, this is just a polite remark, what Yuan Yao needs is that the main lord has arrived, and at a glance he saw General Huang Yi and Huang over there, Yuan Yao laughed weirdly.
