Chapter 66: Attack
Originally, Cao Cao planned to go back after burning the grain and grass, because with his understanding of Yuan Shao, he had almost guessed that Yuan Shao would definitely send troops to attack Guandu after learning the news that he dared to sneak attack the grain and grass.
Therefore, once the purpose of burning grain is achieved, the first thing I have to do is to return to Cao Hong.
But now, Cao Cao suddenly had a new idea.
"Ziyuan, how is the combat effectiveness of my five thousand light cavalry compared to Yuan Shao's light cavalry?"
Cao Cao found Xu You, who was riding a horse, to his side, and pointed to the soldiers of the Cao army who were turning the people who were killing Chun Yuqiong's men and horses on their backs, and asked.
"The soldiers under Meng De's command, even if they are also cavalry, are also one as ten, Yuan Shao's sergeant lacks real battle tempering, plus he has already run forty miles, if Meng De wants to annihilate these reinforcements here, it is not difficult, as long as you have confidence in the men and horses left behind by Guandu, this will definitely be a very big blow to Yuan Shao!"
Xu You naturally didn't dare to say big things at this time, he felt that he had analyzed quite cautiously, Cao Cao's cavalry was indeed strong, this was what he had seen with his own eyes.
"Herald! Don't go back to Guandu for the time being, just watch Yuan Shao's military rations and baggage burn out here, and behead the head of Chun Yuqiong, the general who transports grain here, will be rewarded heavily! Whoever kills the head of the reinforcement generals will be rewarded! ”
These few words spread among the Cao army at a very fast speed, and the Cao army soldiers who heard about this had their eyes glazed down, and they were originally fighting and leaving, but after listening to this order, they immediately did not retreat, and rushed into the formation to kill.
In the dark night, the goal of the Cao soldiers was very clear, that is, to find Chun Yuqiong and then kill him.
At this time, Chun Yuqiong naturally didn't know that he had missed the best time to escape, he was waiting for reinforcements, so that when the time came, he would show Yuan Shao that he had done his best through the generals of the reinforcements.
He had already thought about it, and as soon as the reinforcements arrived, he would rush out immediately, and the Cao army would almost have to retreat when the time came, it didn't matter if he was responsible, he would eventually come out if he didn't die, right?
But I don't know why, Cao Jun, who should have retreated quickly after setting the fire, suddenly turned over again and killed it again.
Yuan Shao's combat effectiveness of the 10,000 people transporting grain was not good in the first place, after a battle before, they have already been one by one, where is the combat effectiveness now?
Once again, Cao Jun is like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and Yuan Shao's army has no combat effectiveness at all except crying for his father and mother.
Chun Yuqiong was completely stunned this time, and after being stunned for a moment, he felt a chill down his entire spine, because this time Cao Jun's purpose was clearer than the last time, that is, to kill people, he had a very bad premonition in his heart, and immediately ordered his cronies to withdraw the banner and start to break through.
But now that I've reacted, it's obviously too late.
Cao Jun's advantage at this moment has been fully revealed, because this time Cao Cao brought fewer soldiers but many generals, at this time, almost every general was followed by one or two hundred of his own cronies, looking for Chun Yuqiong all over the battlefield.
Le Jin and Yu Ban are two of these generals, the two have cooperated many times before to defeat Yuan Shao's attack in Guandu, although there is no such credit as Guan Yu killed the Hebei fierce general Yan Liang as soon as he arrived in the Cao army, but the big and small merits are also countless.
Less than a month ago, the two of them worked together to make a big contribution.
At that time, Le Jin and Yu Ban led 5,000 foot soldiers, and they also took advantage of the night to attack a separate camp of Yuan Shao.
Attack from the southwest edge of the river in Yanjin, and directly cross the river to attack Huojia. Hundreds of camps of Yuan Shao's army were burned, thousands of Yuan Shao's soldiers were beheaded and captured, including more than 20 of Yuan Shao's generals He Mao and Wang Mo, and then returned to Cao's camp unharmed.
Neither of them is a clansman with nepotism with Cao Cao in the Cao army, so the two of them are still quite aware of danger, but whenever they can make meritorious contributions, they are not ambiguous, and they are not afraid of death.
At this time, Le Jin had just found a person who looked like a general, and after pulling him down with a gun, he put the tip of the gun against his throat and asked, "Where is Chun Yuqiong, I will leave you a whole corpse when I say it!" ”
People who are accustomed to seeing life and death on the battlefield naturally know how important it is to leave a whole corpse, or to die a happy death, under such heavy pressure, this deputy general in Yuan Shao's army even forgot to lie.
"He went to the south, with a few personal soldiers with him, thinking that he had broken through!"
As soon as the words fell, the tip of Le Jin's gun was a little harder, and he fulfilled his promise, and the lieutenant had lost his vitality before he could even react.
"Wen Ze, this credit is still ours!"
waved at Yu Ban beside him, Le Jin clamped the horse's belly, and ran to the south.
Yu Ban smiled slightly, and also beckoned his own soldiers to follow the old man.
Le Jinsheng's appearance is not good, his five short stature is short, and when he first took refuge in Cao Cao, he was just a doorman outside Cao Cao's account.
But he was brave and not afraid of death, and his courage was much stronger than that of ordinary generals, and he finally impressed Cao Cao with his performance in several battles, which led to his current status.
Whether it is fighting Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu or Liu Bei, Le Jin is the one who is quite active in the battle, after every big battle, his official position will get a lot of promotion, and now he is already the captain of Kou under Cao Cao.
In the words of the forbidden heart, there must be meat to eat with Lejin, and his hunger and thirst on the battlefield is not comparable to ordinary people.
Sure enough, Le Jin killed Yuan Shaojun's generals all the way, asked about Chun Yuqiong's whereabouts before killing, and chased all the way in the direction of Chun Yuqiong's escape, and finally found a general with a small team of men and horses who were struggling to break through the siege less than half an hour later.
"Hey! Chun Yu Qiong! ”
Le Jin didn't say a word, and took Yu Ban and their personal soldiers to the back of Chun Yuqiong, who was concentrating on breaking through, and Le Jin shouted directly after getting closer.
Chun Yuqiong was bent on breaking through, and he couldn't help but shout his name behind him, and subconsciously turned around.
It doesn't matter if you turn around, what Le Jin was waiting for was this moment, and the spear in his hand went directly to Chun Yuqiong's face.
Chun Yuqiong was so frightened that she used almost all her strength, and she was able to dodge Le Jin's shot, but Yu Ban had quietly appeared behind him at this time.
