Chapter 189: The Defeat of Wen Chou

Only four days have passed since the defeat of the White Horse, and Yuan Shao received another report of defeat - the general Wen Chou was defeated by Cao Cao in the south of Yanjin!

There is no doubt that Wen Chou did not learn the lesson of his brother Yan Liang's defeat because of arrogance. After successively defeating Liu Yanbu and Yu Banbu, Wen Chou let his subordinates grab grain, grass, baggage and other materials at will without restraint, which eventually led to the Cao army's elite cavalry attack, but the Yuan army was still scattered, and was easily defeated by the Cao army, and all the materials captured were recovered by the Cao army!

Cao Jun's ambush was dangerous and abnormal for Wen Chou himself. At the beginning of the battle between the two sides, two of the top three in Cao's army, Xu Huang and Xiahoudun, were directly killed to Wen Chou himself. Although Wen Chou is not afraid, after all, as a general in charge of the army, he knows that he has been tricked, so he collects soldiers and horses and fights and retreats. But what I didn't expect was that there were two Cao army generals killed in the oblique stab, but Shanyang Li Dian and Yangping Lejin were one left and one right, and Xu Huang and Xiahou Tang in front came to attack Wen Chou.

Wen Chou, who had wide hands and wide eyes, shouted at this time that it was not good, and he dared to love Cao Thief who was worried about his head, and at the moment of life and death, he couldn't take into account the lives and safety of his soldiers, and he whistled and wanted to take the pro-army cavalry away.

On the left is Li Dian, who is famous for his skill in bows and horses among the talented generals of the Cao army, and his martial arts are also good, but these are not worth mentioning in front of Wen Chou, one of the two evils in Hebei. It's just a face, Wen Chou, who was eager to escape from the tiger's mouth and used all his strength, almost knocked Li Dian off the horse with the spear in his hand.

Shocked by Wen Chou's strength, Xu Huang Xiahou Le Jin, who was attacking in the back, also tried his best to catch up, and even Cao Hong, who was with Cao Cao because of his injury, saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly slapped his horse to intercept Wen Chou.

Cao Cao's choice of place to watch the battlefield was on a hill in the west direction of the battlefield, and the reason why it was a little westward was naturally because Yuan's army came from the west, and most of them chose to flee by the same route.

Therefore, when Cao Hong slapped his horse and rushed down, he was just able to stop Wen Chou, who was galloping westward. Oh no, it's not appropriate to say the word "stopped", the real situation is that Wen Chou saw Cao Hong coming to snipe, and then looked back at the distance between him and Xu Huang Xiahoudun and others, and gritted his teeth again, using the housekeeper's marksmanship skills, and the speed of the horse did not decrease, and he went directly to stab Cao Hong.

Cao Hong's weapon is also a gun, but his marksmanship is completely self-explored and honed on the battlefield, and Wen Chou, who has been accustomed to the gunsmith since he was a child to refine his gun skills and also polished in the sea of blood, is not at the same level at all, so in the face of Wen Chou's soft and soft blow, it is also a second.

Fortunately, because Xu Huang, Xiahoudun, and Li Dianle chased after the four of them, Wen Chou did not have time to stab the spear into the chest of Cao Hong, who was wearing thick armor, and then pulled it out, so he could only simply use the gun to knock Cao Hong off the horse, and then calmly put away the gun and continued to run away.

To tell the truth, according to the true strength of Li Dian and Cao Hong, they will not be taken away by Wen Chou's tricks, but it is obvious that this time Li Dian and Cao Hong are both a little overconfident in their own strength. They all thought that according to their own force, not to mention that they could be rivaled by Wen Chou, it would not be a problem to stop him. So the first move in the face was to reserve strength for the back, but it underestimated Wen Chou's strength and his desire to survive and break through.

Seeing that Wen Chou was another favorite general of his own clan who had completely defeated him in person, and thinking of Yan Liang's terrifying strength a few days ago, Cao Cao's cold hair stood up at this moment.

Although Yuan Shao is ambitious and talented, these generals under him are all the best and have real materials!

Look at his side again, there is only the pro-army captain Xu Chu who has not been sent out, but it doesn't seem to make much sense to send Xu Chu, although Xu Chu's equestrian skills have improved recently, but he definitely can't drag the Wen Chou in the Panhe Boundary Bridge Horse Crossing Gongsun Zhan Youyun Iron Cavalry Group, so save some effort.

However, if you lose, you don't lose the battle, and you still have to chase it, after all, Yu Banzheng led the troops to grab the grain and grass at the Yanjin ferry over there.

Wen Chou galloped back to the place where he had plundered Liu Yanliang's team at the beginning, just when he ran into a Cao army light army that was launching a strong attack.

When Liu Yan was defeated, Yan Liang divided 2,000 light cavalry to collect the captured grain, grass, carts and horses and guarded hundreds of Cao army prisoners, and 4,000 cavalry to attack Yu Ban's baggage team. I never thought that the two thousand light horsemen left behind would become the last capital that Wen Chou relied on to fight at the moment.

The commander of this Cao army light army to recover the grain and grass is naturally Yu Ban, who has been defeated twice in a row today, seeing that Wen Chou has come back again, but there are not many Yuan army cavalry behind him, the witty Yu Ban guessed what happened in Nanpi in an instant, there is no doubt that Cao Sikong defeated Wen Chou's 4,000 light horses, but he did not keep Wen Chou, and let the family flee back so quickly.

However, Yu Ban did not intend to give up his mission, and still ordered his subordinates to launch a strong attack on the 2,000 Yuan army who were not much prepared!

Over there, Wen Chou also saw Cao Jun who came to cover up and put out a big banner with the word "Yu", and scolded Yu Ban angrily in his heart for not knowing whether he was alive or dead, but Wen Chou didn't dare to delay, and shouted in a loud warning: "Cao Jun is coming, where is Sima with the army?" ”

Although Wen Chou is a martial artist, what is interesting is that his voice is more like a polite scholar, his voice is not loud and does not have much penetrating power, fortunately, more than ten personal soldiers behind Wen Chou repeated Wen Chou's words in unison, and the Yuan army cavalry who had already unloaded their saddles and rested on their horse pillows leaning on grain bags woke up one after another.

In the middle of the group, Yuan Jun Sima wore a felt hat that he didn't know where to find, leaning against a chariot and horse, and from time to time there was a heavy snoring sound, as if he was not here to fight but to travel.

Sleeping in the fragrant room, this Sima suddenly woke up, first looked at the quiet and silent surroundings suspiciously, but muttered to himself: "How did I hear General Wen's voice?" ”

After saying this, this Sima saw that there was still nothing wrong with him, so he fell asleep again. However, at this moment, a clear and audible voice came from the east: Cao Jun is coming, where is Sima of the army?

A word woke up the dreamer, this Sima hit a spirit, immediately got on the horse and raised his eyes to look around, but he found that a black mass not far away was rapidly attacking, and there was a cavalry of more than ten people in the east who was rapidly approaching.

"Where are the scouts? Why is there no report for such a dangerous scout? Where are the scouts? Yuan Jun Sima suddenly scolded angrily.

But it was clear that the timing was not the right time to ask the scout questions. In fact, most of the scouts scattered by Yuan Jun around here were no longer able to answer the questions raised by this Yuan Jun Sima.

Although the main force of Cao's army to attack was light foot soldiers, there were also cavalry, such as Yu Ban and a small number of Yu Ban's personal soldiers. Now that his intentions have been exposed, Yu Ban no longer restricts the speed of the war horse, and takes the lead with a bow and arrows, rushing towards the Yuan army.

At this time, the Yuan army's formation-if it can really be described by the word array, then it moved. It was only then that Sima began to order Yuan's army to mount his horse to meet him.

Just when Yuan Jun was in a hurry to re-install the saddle and prepare the team was in chaos, Yu Ban had already galloped to a place close to Yuan Jun's arrow, and an arrow was shot, but it was impartial to the forehead of the Yuan Jun Sima!

Wen Chou, who finally arrived, witnessed everything, and was naturally furious, and drove his horse into the Yuan army's formation, snatched a hard bow from a horse archer, and shot an arrow at Yu Ban.

Yu Ban over there was proudly shooting Yuan Jun's cavalry Sima, and was about to command the Cao army soldiers behind him to cover up and kill Yuan Jun, but he never expected Wen Chou to give him such a hand!

In a hurry, Yu Ban failed to dodge this arrow, and ate this arrow on the back of his right shoulder, although he had armor, but this arrow still did not enter the flesh and bones.

Wen Chou over there saw that the arrow in the forbidden was not falling, and cursed angrily that the material of the bow and arrow in his hand was too inferior, that is, he abandoned the hard bow and picked up the spear again, and commanded the cavalry to meet the battle.

Yu Ban over there endured the pain, pulled out the feather arrow, and still commanded his soldiers to attack.

The four thousand Cao army soldiers saw that a general of the Yuan army fell to the ground with an arrow, and saw that their own commander was injured but still had a resolute face, and everyone fought bravely to be the first.

Although Yu Ban was terrified of Wen Chou's archery skills, he also knew that he could not eat the 2,000 cavalry of Hebei with Wen Chou in front of him just by relying on the 4,000 foot soldiers under his leadership, but Yu Ban knew very well and trusted in his heart that Cao Cao must have absolute control over the overall battle situation!

Sure enough, Wen Chou had just returned to the Yuan army for a moment, and the east direction once again raised the floating dust from the galloping horses, and the black shadows flashed in the dust, and the Cao character banner fluttered on it.

Seeing the reinforcements, Yu Ban's soldiers were more imposing, and their desire to kill was even stronger. In the end, it was the Cao army's foot soldiers who collided with the Yuan army's cavalry formation first, and the battle began again!

The advantage of cavalry on the battlefield is the agility and impact power that the infantry can never match, which is why the cavalry is often superior to the infantry. However, if it is a positional battle, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is extremely inferior. After all, the tactical system is different, although the cavalry is still in a condescending posture with four horse legs, but the precise battle formation tactical coordination between the foot soldiers can often make the cavalry's attack invisible, and can easily stab the knights who are difficult to move.

It can be said that when Wen Chou did not mobilize his cavalry to move to fight before the Cao army's infantry arrived, the battle was already doomed.

struggled to resist for a while, no matter how high Ren Wenchou's martial arts and equestrian skills were, and no matter how deep his archery skills were, under the attack of Cao Jun several times, he had no power to return to the sky. In the end, he could only fight his way out with hatred and fled back to the north bank of the Yellow River in a hurry.
