Chapter 106: Back to the Bottom?
The next day, Cao Hong set up a formation along Mushui and made a war post against Xiao Jian and Cao Hong.
Cao Hong brought 30,000 troops this time, plus the 10,000 troops gathered by Xiao Jian, the prime minister of Langya, the number was almost twice that of Cao Hong, and Cao Hong was not famous at this time, in the eyes of outsiders, he was just Cao Cao's brother to be the commander of the first army.
In addition, a large part of the soldiers brought by Cao Hong were from Danyang, and Cao Hong's army had just arrived, and he had little personal ability, so he couldn't suppress the belligerent mood of his subordinates, so he took over the battle post and easily brought the situation into a field battle in favor of Cao's army.
Cao Hong and Xun You had great ambitions, and they wanted to use this battle to annihilate the enemy army and directly collapse the defense line in the north of Xuzhou.
In fact, Cao Hong also has an abacus in his heart, and there are nearly 10,000 cavalry in the army he brought this time, which is also his confidence.
And in fact, Cao Hong is also quite disgusted with the name Cao Hong in his heart, in his opinion, this guy who relies on his relationship is not worth his shot at all, if it is replaced by Guo Jia's level, it is almost the same.
As for the battle when Cao Bao was defeated and captured a few years ago? Oh, although Cao Bao is his brother, to be honest, he looks down on Cao Bao, so he just relies on flattery and the villain of the family's power. After the big defeat, Tao Qian did not hold him responsible, and this guy locked himself in his study every day to learn the art of war. Before going on this expedition, he also deliberately told himself not to fight with Cao's army in the field, take advantage of the city wall, clear the wilderness, and establish multiple lines of defense to consume Cao's army. Who is he, Cao Hong? Now Xuzhou is actually the second person, although his status is second to Cao Bao, but everyone attaches more importance to him.
Does he, Cao Hong, need to listen to the advice of this defeated general? Hasn't this guy learned the truth that he will lose if he keeps it for a long time? Hmph, no wonder the army was defeated and captured, the shame of this Xiapi Cao clan!
When Cao Hong's army drove to the battle site, both sides shot their positions and prepared to set up their formations. And Cao Hong couldn't help laughing after looking at Cao Jun's formation.
Xiao Jian was curious: "Why did the general laugh? β
"I laugh at Cao Hong's unscrupulousness, Xun Yu Shaozhi!" Cao Hong held the horsewhip in his hand and pointed diagonally behind Cao Jun.
"If I were to use my troops, I would never be in a formation here! Although there is an example of Han Xin's backwater, but our army has tens of thousands of elite cavalry, as long as the frontal surprise attack and drive the enemy army into the water, our army will win! Therefore, I laugh at Cao Hong's lack of strategy, Xun Yu is less wise! β
Xiao Jian made a move, "The general's wisdom is high, and Cao Hong and Xun You's generation are definitely not opponents." β
Cao Hong smiled but did not answer, and looked at the battlefield indifferently.
In the Cao army's formation, the atmosphere was very serious, and no one disturbed Cao Hong and Xun You's contemplation.
A young general stared at Cao Jun's formation, pacing left and right, rubbing his hands left and right, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"Marshal, military advisor, although it is a good strategy to form a formation against the water, but this time it is reported that there are many enemy cavalry, if the enemy cavalry presses up and drives our soldiers into the water, our army will be in danger!"
"Presumptuous! Ziming, how can you speak here! Don't get back now! β
The words of this young general attracted Sun Ce's refutation, in fact, everyone could see that Sun Ce's rebuke was to protect this young general, otherwise it should be someone who would be beaten out or imprisoned, of course, everyone also gave Sun Ce this face, after all, Sun Ce was very valued by Cao Cao, Cao Cao untied his robe and covered Sun Ce, and called Sun Ce "Jiangdong Little Overlord" Cao Jun no one knows, no one knows.
However, there is also a reason why Sun Ce is under Cao Hong. Since the first battle in Gongxian, Sun Ce has broken through the bottleneck of his own martial arts and entered the ranks of the first-class mid-stage, but he always felt that he still lacked experience in battlefield fighting, and hoped to go out to fight, so he was temporarily sent by Cao Cao and Guo Jia to Cao Hong.
Although the young general was refuted by Sun Ce, he did not stop his exhortation, although even Sun Ce had the same question, but Guo Jia told him that "the public is foolish and wise outside, cowardly and brave inside, weak outside and strong inside, no goodness, no hard work." When you are by Gongda's side, you should talk less and do more, and if you don't understand something, just ask. β
Xun You turned around and looked at the young general, and the young general did not show weakness in looking at Xun You.
One second
Two seconds
Three seconds
Xun You's rare facial paralysis showed a sincere smile.
"Yes, when the enemy has a large number of cavalry, it is tantamount to killing yourself."
When everyone heard this, they were also puzzled, so why did Xun You know that this was a self-defeating situation?
"What's your name?"
The young general's body was stunned, and he hugged his fists and said, "The last general is a captain of the Liberation Army under the command of General Sun." β
The Liberation Army is a pro-army established by Sun Ce after breaking away from the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, imitating the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to use Sun's financial resources and with the permission of Cao Cao, with only 1,500 people, so this captain of Lu Meng is basically the commander of the Liberation Army.
After seeing Guo Jia's power, he devoted himself to studying the art of war, and changed from an illiterate reckless man to a wise general who was familiar with military books, which also made Sun Ce, who was already fond of Lu Meng, more relieved to entrust him with important tasks.
"The generals may also have doubts in their hearts, but you can only tell you that my plan is not just like this. I would like to make a military order, so that if the enemy army cannot be broken in such a battle, you can cut off my head and give it to the lord to plead guilty. Lu Ziming, calm down and look at this battle, maybe it will be of some help to you, Bo Fu, so are you. β
Sun Ce and Lu Meng glanced at each other, hugged their fists and said, "No." β
To be honest, there is no need for Xun You to make a military order, and all the generals under the account have long been convinced by Xun You, but Xun You's military order has also strengthened their confidence.
When the generals left, they also looked sideways at the inconspicuous young general behind Sun Ce, as long as they were not stupid, they could see that Xun You was very optimistic about and attached importance to Lu Meng, as if he was teaching him the art of war.
