Chapter 32: Life is endless, and the chisel is endless
Guo Jia's strategy is actually very simple, using himself as bait to lure Cao Leopard to pursue.
This is considered a macons, such a big, fragrant bait, most people will want to take a bite and try it.
Besides, Guo Jia has more than 5,000 people here, and this is easy to detect, so Cao Bao thinks that even if there is an ambush, he is willing to try it, what can he do with the ambush of 5,000 people?
In fact, I learned this from Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
In March of the fourth year of Tang Wude (621 AD), Dou Jiande led an army of 100,000 to join Wang Shichong's troops and attack the Tang army together. Li Shimin sent his younger brother Li Yuanji to continue the siege of Luoyang, and he brought 3,500 elite soldiers into the Tiger Prison Pass.
After arriving at the Tiger Pass, Li Shimin only took 500 of the brave cavalry out of the Tiger Pass to reconnoiter Dou Jiande's military camp. He ordered Xu Shixian, Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao to lead the five hundred people to ambush halfway, and he and Yu Chi Jingde only led four horsemen to continue to advance.
Li Shimin and Wei Chi Jingde were really bold enough, and a total of six people dared to go out. You must know that the other party has an army of 100,000. Li Er also said to Wei Chi Jingde: "I have a bow and arrow, and you have a horse lance, even if the enemy has a million troops, what can I do?" ”
Then Li Er may have felt that the cowhide was blowing a little big, and after a while, he added: "However, as long as we encounter the enemy, we will run back, this is the best policy." ”
"People are difficult to dismantle", especially in front of the boss, Wei Chi Jingde gave special face, nodded and agreed, boss, you say we will break in, and we will withdraw if you say withdraw.
But the other four people who followed Li Shimin were so frightened that their faces were like dirt, Li Shimin was very confident, and said: "You guys just run in front, and Jingde and I are behind." "What the boss says is what, Wei Chi Jingde is not afraid at all, he and Li Shimin hold the reins of the horse, and walk slowly behind.
As soon as an enemy soldier came up, they drew their bows and arrows, slashed and killed them with their lances, and just hung their pursuers like this, and they almost "skimmed" at others.
Dou Jiande's pursuers were stunned by the stupid boldness of Li Shimin and Wei Chi Jingde, and they stopped for a while when they caught up, and then chased again, not daring to bite too hard. Several times in a row, each time someone was killed as soon as he caught up, Li Shimin killed a few in a row, and Wei Chi Jingde killed more than a dozen.
Li Shimin and Wei Chi Jingde deliberately wandered on the road, and even saw that the enemy army had not dared to come forward, and deliberately retreated for a while to wait. The pursuers were played by the two of them, and in the end, they didn't care if there was an ambush, they chased them desperately, and then they really fell into the ambush set up by Li Shimin. Li Shimin, Wei Chi Jingde and Xu Shiyun, Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao rendezvous, defeated the pursuers, killed more than 300 people, and captured Dou Jiande's two generals and returned to the Tiger Pass.
Guo Jia and Dian Wei are like Li Shimin and Wei Chigong in later generations.
Guo Jia didn't dare to compare himself with martial arts as strong as Li Shimin, but in terms of archery, not to mention a hundred steps through Yang, but within a hundred steps, there is absolutely no problem with the arrow. What's more, so many people are chasing after you, and you can definitely shoot at the crowd casually.
As for Dian Wei, a person who can play with a small halberd, his archery skills are naturally not bad, because of his strength, he holds a two-stone bow.
Guo Jia shoots people who are close, Dian Wei shoots people who are far away, and when the enemy is close, he will hand it over to Dian Wei, and Dian Wei's double iron halberd is not vegetarian. What's more, they all rode good horses, and even if they deliberately slowed down a little, there were very few people who could dodge the arrows and chase them closely.
This is also a bit like the kite flying tactics of the Mongolian cavalry in later generations, and you will be killed when you play.
Three thousand cavalry, along the way by Guo Jia and Dian Wei killed more than 100 people, of course, there are also many arrows on the way to Guo Jia, Dian Wei passed by, Guo Jia left rib arrow (Guo Jia: Am I! Author: Can you spare my left ribs! Another arrow in the left ribs! And Dian Wei was unscathed.
Cao Bao was furious, and he was so ashamed! Three thousand people chased two people, and more than 100 people were killed, if the two of them escaped, he Cao Bao would become a shame for Xuzhou! It will even be engraved on the history books and rubbed repeatedly!
"If you don't kill these two people today, I, Cao Bao, will not quit!" Cao Bao waved the spear in his hand, he didn't care about this valley, and after a cursory glance at the entrance to the east of the valley and no one on the valley, he chased in.
As everyone knows, when Guo Jia asked Yu Ban and Le Jin to ambush, they let them pick a lot of grass leaves in other places, tie them up with hemp rope, etc., and change them on the soldiers, from a distance, the soldiers and the grass and trees are integrated, as long as you lower your head, it is difficult to see that there are people there.
After a while, after all the enemy iron horsemen had entered the valley, there was a sudden rumbling sound of rolling stones falling from the side of the valley.
Countless boulders fell from the mountain, blocking the eastern part of the valley.
At the same time, above the valley, Cao Jun, dressed in "grass clothes", stood up and drew a bow and shot arrows.
In an instant, arrows rained down.
Le Jin led his 2,500 infantry troops and Guo Jiana's 500 personal guards cavalry to attack from the west entrance.
Lejin was like a mad dog that didn't want to die, and rushed into the enemy formation first.
Although the combat power of the cavalry that has lost its impact and speed is like a live target, it is too much for a person to rush directly into it...
But the scene that led Guo Jia was shocked, Le Jin actually led Guo Jia's five hundred personal guards, and in a moment, he chiseled through Cao Bao's military formation!
Then a scene that shocked Guo Jia even more appeared.
Le Jin turned his horse's head and rushed back again, once again cutting through Cao Bao's military formation.
"Holy! So fierce! Guo Jia was so shocked that he burst into a foul mouth.
"Junming, you go too, I'll go to the valley and wait, waiting for your good results!" Guo Jia, escorted by several soldiers, made a detour to the top of the valley.
Dian Wei roared, rushed to kill with his halberd, and went straight to Cao Bao.
"Straw bales are killed!"
"Damn! Lao Tzu's name is Cao Bao! Not a straw bale! Cao Bao was furious, brandished his spear and rushed towards Dian Wei.
Bite!
Halberds intersect.
Cao Bao felt a huge force coming from the hilt of the gun, but he still held the spear tightly.
Blood was left on the tiger's mouth, dripping down the handle of the gun.
Dian Wei glanced at him contemptuously, "Admiral Xuzhou? But that's it. ”
"Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest!"
Dian Wei used seventy percent of his strength this time, after all, the living Cao Bao was more valuable than the dead Cao Bao, and he was afraid that a full blow would directly kill Cao Bao.
With a halberd, Cao Bao directly fell off the horse with a gun.
Cao Bao spurted out a mouthful of blood, and before he could get up, the soldiers around him captured him.
"The other lord has been captured, so don't surrender quickly!"
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Cao Bao was captured again, and the remaining more than 1,000 cavalry had to put down their weapons, dismount and surrender.
At this time, Lejin was unhappy.
What's that? Lao Tzu has just gouged through the enemy army four times!
In this battle, how crazy this guy is Lejin, Guo Jia saw it in his eyes, and inserted five arrows in his body, and he was still happy like a nobody.
Guo Jia is convinced, you desperate San Lang who is not afraid of death, no wonder people in later generations say that you are a mad dog. And I was hit by an arrow and I was in pain to death, although your armor is of good quality, it won't be so exaggerated, I also wore two pieces of inner armor!
