Chapter 476: Yuan Cao fights

"Lord, it's been investigated!" The tiger and leopard cavalry has been scattered by Cao Cao to make scouts first, and he Cao Cao cannot afford to lose this battle, so he must find out the enemy's battle situation clearly.

"Say!" Cao Cao is still indifferent now, he is not afraid of itching when there are more lice, and his old Cao is already mentally prepared.

"Yuan Shao's army has a joint camp of thirty miles, and there are twenty-two large and small ones!" The tiger and leopard rider delivered the news to Cao Cao.

Twenty-two do camp!

A small camp has 3,000 people, and the large one has more than 10,000 people, and these 22 camps are equivalent to about 150,000 people.

He Cao Cao only has a total of 70,000 troops in his hands, and with the people who have been assigned to defend the city, he can only use 40,000 in his hands now.

"Fortunately, Yuan Yao'er shared the 100,000 army for us, otherwise!" Yu Ban on the side said.

"We have fallen for that Yuan Yao'er's trick again!" Cao Cao sighed, at first he thought that Yuan Yao was dizzy, so he went to provoke his cheap uncle Yuan Shao, and even at that time, Cao Cao laughed at Yuan Yao'er, now it seems that this Yuan Yao'er is really like a god.

"Huh?" The generals on the side were a little confused.

Guo Jia still spoke: "If the 300,000 army is directly put out, look at how many people in our army dare to resist!" Under Guo Jia's reminder, the generals looked at the soldiers over there.

Sure enough, even Lao Cao's face turned pale, not to mention those little soldiers, all of them were shaking their legs, because the scene below was too shocking.

This is only a part of Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses, if they all come, maybe Cao Cao won't have to fight, and the soldiers under his command will be scared to death.

If there is no war yet, the morale will not be half gone, how can it be won?

"But don't worry, generals!" Guo Jia looked at it almost, and he had to comfort and comfort these Cao army generals, don't really scare your own people, "Our army and Yuan Yao'er's Huainan Army is now in a situation of cold lips and teeth, once our army is gone, he Yuan Yao'er will be soon, I see that this Yuan Yao'er is not a person who is subordinate to others, so once our army can't bear it, he will inevitably send troops to help!" Guo Jia said to the soldiers.

"Yuan Yao'er sent troops?" Some generals still don't understand, because they fought with Yuan Yaocai? It's good that Yuan Yao'er didn't come to take advantage of the fire to rob, how could he send troops to help?

"There are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests!" Guo Jia said with a smile, "Even if that Yuan Yao Xiao'er doesn't send troops, is it that I, Yanzhou Jian'er, am afraid that Yuan Shao will not succeed, my lord can defeat him Yuan Shao once, there will be a second time, a third time!" ”

Guo Jia's words slowly boosted the morale of the generals under his command, yes, they have won Yuan Shaojun once, and the first time they won the battle, there will naturally be a second time.

This Yuan Shao is the defeated general under them, and they are the victors, so what's there to be afraid of.

"Have you ever heard the words of the sacrificial wine? I, Cao Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, started at the end of Wei, one person dared to kill Dong Zhuo, and I could call on the princes of Guanzhong to destroy Dong Zhuo, pacify Yanzhou, and defeat Tao Qian, Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, what about Yuan Shao, his subordinates were defeated. Since he Yuan Shao dares to come again, I dare to fight him back, this time, I not only have to defeat him Yuan Shao, I also have to fight to the other side of the Yellow River, to Jizhou, to Yecheng! ”

"Hit Yecheng, hit Yecheng!" All the generals under him shouted in unison.

"Morale is available! Pass on my military order, tomorrow the third watch cooks, the fifth watch eats, I want to preemptively send him Yuan Shao a meeting gift! ”

Cao's soldiers and horses set off immediately on the second day.

The morale of Cao Cao's army was usable, but in actual combat, it still suffered a lot of losses.

Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu to go back to Xu Capital to fight local tyrants, so he even taught Cheng Yu with Dian Wei that he was afraid that those so-called loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty would jump off the wall in a hurry, so that there would not be many generals left in Cao Cao's hands.

It's good to die, Lao Cao thinks about fighting again.

From Cao Cao's point of view, there are no generals among Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses, why are you, because Yuan Shao's most famous Yan Liangwen and Chou, two first-class generals, were killed by Lu Bu early, leaving only some nameless generals who can't be named.

Therefore, Lao Cao was very worthy, thinking that he would win the first battle, and immediately clamored to fight.

What is a trump card in Lao Cao's hand? That's Xu Chu, Lao Cao pushed Xu Chu out in the first battle, but he didn't expect Yuan Shaofang on the opposite side to send Zhang He.

Although Zhang He's force is inferior to Xu Chu, it is no problem to drag on for hundreds of rounds.

Xu Chu was on it, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Chun again, and Yuan Shao released Lu Xiang.

Xiahou Chun is also unlucky, this Lu Xiang's brother just died in the hands of Cao Cao, and Lu Xiang's martial arts are not bad, this avenges his brother, so that Lu Xiang's combat power has skyrocketed, and the scene is actually pressing Xiahou Chun to fight.

One side did not make progress, and the other side was pressed and beaten.

Lao Cao was suddenly unhappy, and Lao Cao was unhappy that the generals under his command naturally wanted to fight.

Lao Cao waved his hand, and his subordinates, Yu Ban and Li Dian each led 3,000 soldiers and horses to charge left and right.

Lao Cao didn't pay attention to the rules and let Yuan Shao scold at first, and then he was in a hurry for a while, Zhang He saw the situation and ran back, but Lu Xiang was almost overwhelmed by the three thousand soldiers and horses.

Although Yuan Shao was caught off guard by Lao Cao's scoundrel, who made him have a thick foundation.

Immediately, 5,000 archers were transferred from the rear army and returned to the past.

This dense rain of arrows did not distinguish between the enemy and me, Yuan Shao himself lost more than a thousand corpses, Lao Cao was not comfortable, and hundreds of the three thousand elite soldiers who rushed into the battle came back.

He Yuan Shao can afford to compensate, Lao Cao can't afford to compensate, and the distressed Cao Cao immediately summoned his soldiers and horses back.

On this battlefield, it is a drum of strength, and then a decline and exhaustion.

Cao Cao was distressed, Yuan Shao's opportunity came, Yuan Shao and General Yuan immediately let his army counterattack, and the soldiers and horses who were caught off guard by Cao Cao just now also turned their guns one by one and started a tailwind battle.

Cao Cao retreated again and again, losing at least thousands of troops and retreating into the camp.

If Yuan Shao retired at this time, then Cao Cao would have become a joke.

It's a pity that General Yuan Shao and Yuan were carried away by the victory, and immediately ordered the siege of the city.

How can Cao Cao's Guandu, which has been operated for so long, be so easy to break, from the time when the two sides formed an alliance, Lao Cao began to build the Guandu offensive, because he knew that sooner or later the north would have to have a hegemon to unify the south, either Yuan Shao or Gongsun Zhan, and the defense under Guandu was to block the southward movement of the northern army.

Gongsun Chan died early and didn't have a chance to try, so these were taught to General Yuan.

Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses rushed into it, and their heads immediately broke and bled out.

Rolling stones and falling trees, yellow soup and the endless rain of arrows, shot out at a high level of zero, Yuan Shaojun was miserable, even if Yuan Shao was desperate to take the camp, there was no way, after rushing and killing several times, Yuan Shao was shot back by Cao Jun's arrow rain.

The first battle was won by him Yuan Shao, and if he continued to fight like this, the victory just now would be handed over.

Immediately, Yuan Shao asked his soldiers and horses to withdraw their troops.

The two sides calculated, Cao Cao lost more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in the first battle, Yuan Shao lost more than 5,000, but Cao Cao couldn't laugh, because this was not proportional at all, Yuan Shao had nearly 200,000 troops in his hands, and he Cao Cao had to fight three to one or four to one to win.

What's more, the ones he brought out today are all elites.

Both sides tried and knew that whoever struck first in this war would be unlucky.

Cao Cao had countless city defense fortresses in his hands, and Yuan Shao had several times the army in his hands.

If Cao Cao took the initiative to attack Yuan Shao, then he Cao Cao must be looking for death, leaving the city defense and not going out to fight, Yuan Shao can also kill Cao Cao with his head.

As for Yuan Shao, if he blindly attacked, he could only lose his troops, and Lao Cao's turtle shell was not covered.

Xun Cen proposed to let Yuan Shao withdraw the army, wait for the rear soldiers, horses, food and grass to arrive, and even don't need to fight more, just dragging Cao Cao can consume Cao Cao to death.

But Yuan Shao has already sent troops, and if you let him retreat again, where will he put his face.

So I didn't take Xun Cen's suggestion, but took a compromise approach, that is, didn't you Lao Cao want to rely on these tall city walls and fortresses to stand alone in me?

Okay, then I'll build a taller and bigger one than you, and I'll shoot you if I'm high below zero.

Yuan Shao's army said that he would do it, and directly built a wooden wall in front of Cao Cao's camp, and the more people there were, the greater the strength.

Soon, Yuan Shaojun built a wooden wall in front of Cao's fortress, which was two feet higher than the city gate.

After the construction was completed, General Yuan Shao and Yuan laughed very much, he waited to see Cao Cao's jokes, but Xun Cen on the side frowned, because this Cao Cao army was too quiet, it was impossible for them not to see what Yuan Shaojun wanted to do, but Cao Jun did not move at all, and he didn't even send people out of the city to destroy, and Xun Cen subconsciously felt bad.
