Chapter 65: Surprise Attack
"Yuan Shao is not at fault for putting the grain and grass of the army in the black nest, it's just that his enemy is Sikong, and what others dare not do, Sikong dare."
Although the march was eager, Zhang Liao beside Guan Yu still had a calm face, holding the reins in his hand while smiling at Guan Yu beside him.
Maybe it was because he was an old acquaintance with Guan Yu when he was under Lu Bu before, maybe they were all generals that Cao Cao found from the defeated army, since Guan Yu was named a partial general, Zhang Liao was close to him, at least much stronger than those surnamed Cao and Xiahou.
Guan Yu is a little arrogant, but he is not withdrawn, he is reasonable, it is good to have a little partner like Zhang Liao.
"Sikong is indeed daring to be undaring in the world, but in terms of common sense, it doesn't seem to be so urgent, our army has been building a defensive line in Guandu for several months, if you can make a surprise attack and run out of food, you don't have to wait until today."
Guan Yu also expressed his opinion quite calmly.
The biggest difference between the two of them and other generals is that they will use the thoughts of strategists to think about some issues, according to Cao Cao's criteria for selecting generals, most of the generals under his command are generals, but Zhang Liao and Guan Yu can grow into handsome talents.
"Yun Chang also felt it?"
Zhang Liao saw that there were no others around them, so he asked in a low voice.
Guan Yu nodded slightly, his expression still unchanged.
"If this plan doesn't work, I'm afraid we'll be in trouble."
Waiting for Zhang Liao is still Guan Yu's slight bow, Zhang Liao shook his head, rode his horse forward, he is a smart man, although Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang and followed the army to break the Wen Chou, but Zhang Liao understood that his heart was still not in Cao Ying.
After midnight, the 10,000 soldiers escorting the grain and grass led by Chun Yuqiong had already camped around the grain and grass and slept, and several squads of scouts were on guard on the periphery.
It had been months since the war with Cao Cao, and he had always been in charge of transporting grain and grass, but he had never made a mistake.
This place is not even forty miles away from Yuan Shao's camp, and Chun Yuqiong has the same idea as Yuan Shao, that is, it is already very safe here.
Cao Cao is not stupid, he will not come to fight the idea of these grains and grass, even if he robs it, he will not be robbed by Yuan Shao's reinforcements after a few steps.
But this night, something happened that he had never experienced before.
When approaching the black nest, Cao Cao ordered 5,000 soldiers to hold grass roots in their mouths, and the mouths of the horses were all sealed, and then no matter where the scouts of the Yuan army were, they rushed directly to the barracks of 10,000 horses at full speed and rushed over.
Cao Cao made it clear before the action that this wave was to use the impact of the cavalry to break through the camp tent, go straight to the point, and light the fire to be considered a success.
Chun Yuqiong was still asleep, so he heard the hurried footsteps and shouts from outside his account, and it took him a long time before he could tell that this was indeed not a dream.
But when he put on his clothes and armor and walked out of his big tent, he found that Cao's army under the banner of Yuan Shaojun had broken into the camp, and everyone was running to the place where the grain and grass were.
"Not good! The Cao army plundered grain and grass, and quickly blocked it, they were just thousands of light horsemen, we have many soldiers, don't panic! ”
Chun Yuqiong got on the horse and organized the panicked soldiers to fight back, and on the other hand, he ordered someone to quickly inform Yuan Shao of the news and ask for reinforcements, after all, these are the foot soldiers who transport grain and grass, and the combat effectiveness is still a lot worse than the real trump card.
But Cao Cao's soldiers don't care so much, they use their impact power, take the squad as a unit, the goal is very clear, along the way God blocks and kills God, and the devil blocks and kills demons, although Chun Yuqiong has many soldiers, but he knows at a glance that it is only a matter of time before the grain and grass are obtained by the enemy.
But as the main general of grain transportation, of course he can't run away by himself at this time, in that case, he will be to blame for losing the grain and grass.
Under such circumstances, Chun Yuqiong could only grit her back molars and get on the horse to fight with Cao Jun, hoping that reinforcements would come sooner.
Five thousand cavalry, if you want to complete the burning of grain and grass in the resistance of 10,000 people, it is obviously not an easy task, these Yuan army soldiers are like an iron bucket array, it takes two hours just to kill.
The benefits of proximity are evident at this time.
Chun Yuqiong sent his cronies to gallop all the way, and after arriving at Yuan Shao's camp, he did not dare to slack off, and informed Yuan Shao of the matter as soon as possible.
But after Yuan Shao heard this, in addition to the anger that should have been shown normally, he did not order the rescue at the first time, but found Guo Tu and several other advisers and began to discuss countermeasures.
"Lord, Cao Cao, this is a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry! It seems that he is plotting for our grain and grass, but it is a great opportunity for us, if he really leads the army to loot the grain and grass, the guards of his camp must be empty, and the princes can send the main force of our army to attack the camp of the Cao army immediately, and relieve the siege of the black nest with some light horses! As soon as Guandu is broken, Cao Cao is the dog who lost his family! ”
Guo Tu's little eyes rolled, and he told him such a plan at that time.
As soon as Yuan Shao heard the words "Guandu", he didn't think about anything at that time, and the decisive momentum that had not come up before came up all of a sudden.
"Herald! Zhang He and Gao Ran led the main force of our army to Guandu immediately, and they must take Cao Cao's camp! As for the black nest...... Order Jiang Qi to take 10,000 light horsemen to go! ”
When these strategists saw that this plan was Guo Tu, Yuan Shao agreed so quickly, where did they dare to say more, and after giving Yuan Shao a thumbs up one by one, they all gave the order.
The next moment, Zhang He and Gao Ran, who were still in a state of bewilderment, were immediately woken up by the herald, and with hazy eyes, they gathered Yuan Shao's main force, and marched towards Guandu in a hurry.
And Jiang Qi also ran to the black nest with 10,000 cavalry who were not the main force without knowing the details of Cao Cao.
Forty miles of road, one back and forth is eighty miles, and when Jiang Qikankan arrived near Wuchao, he saw that the place where the grain and grass should have been stored was lit up in a sky-high fire.
Where is this to rob the grain, it is clearly to burn the grain!
Jiang Qi's heart immediately cooled half, no matter what, as long as the grain and grass are gone, he is the first sin in Chun Yuqiong, and he has to be second.
"Fuck! Rush! Kill a few Cao army generals, or we will all be guilty! ”
Jiang Qi's idea was good, but he really overestimated his ability.
"Sikong, the grain and grass have been burned, we have not suffered much loss, in my opinion, we should go back, the scout returned, Yuan Shao sent about 10,000 light horsemen to reinforce, at this time it was only a few miles away."
"Ten thousand light horsemen... killed Yan Liangwen and Chou, Yuan Shao's arrogant problem, it seems that he still hasn't gotten rid of it! ”
