Chapter 401: Eight Buckets of Talent
The generals and soldiers of the Yuan army around them all shouted and stepped forward to try to surround Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao, who was holding a sword in one hand and Yan Liang's head in the other, did not have the slightest fear.
The sword in his hand blocked the left and the right, and at the same time, he also killed the Yuan army who was close to him.
He didn't get too warlike and was besieged by an army of thousands, a situation that no master would want to face.
Therefore, Wang Xiao rode his horse to kill, leaving behind the corpses all the way and successfully breaking out of the encirclement.
When Wang Xiao appeared in Cao Jun's eyes again, when he held Yan Liang's head with his sword, he shouted that Yan Liang's head was here. Cao Jun shouted and cheered, and his morale was bursting.
Throughout the ages, such a thing as taking the head of a general in the army is just a legend. There is not a single one who can really do it alone.
And at this moment, everyone witnessed the birth of a miracle with their own eyes.
"Good! Good! Good! ”
Cao Cao was overjoyed and shouted three times in a row.
It was really unexpected. Unexpectedly, this Zijian, who only liked dancing and writing before, actually brought him such a big surprise.
Guan Yu also looked at Wang Xiao who rode back with a shocked expression, shocked by his superb martial arts and extraordinary courage.
In terms of martial arts, it is still secondary, and what is really appalling is the courage to dare to face thousands of troops alone.
Not to mention an army with blades, even thousands of unarmed pigs can squeeze people to death.
This indomitable courage and courage to live after death suddenly made Guan Yu's perception of Wang Xiao change dramatically.
The commander who lost the commander of the army, or died with this extremely shocking effect, an effect that only exists in legends. It soon collapsed the morale of Yuan Jun.
When Cao's army fought bravely, Yuan Jun retreated with Yan Liang's corpse.
"Zijian!"
After the battle, Cao Cao directly found Wang Xiao, raised his hands and shook his shoulders vigorously, "Good job!" ”
He was so happy.
In the past, I felt that Huang Xu'er Cao Zhang was the pinnacle of their Cao family's martial arts. Unexpectedly, Wang Xiao was born out of thin air, and after practicing with Xu Zhu for a few months, he was so brave that he dared to enter the enemy formation single-handedly.
Anyone with a discerning eye who has been on the battlefield can see that martial arts are still secondary, and what really matters is the courage to dare to face thousands of troops!
"It's all duty."
At this time, of course, you have to choose modesty, and proudly praising your martial arts will only make people look down on you and think that you are a brainless and reckless man.
If you are a brainless and reckless man, no one will be on his side when you take the heir.
Of course, this kind of thing can change from time to time depending on the status.
If his identity at this time was not Cao Zijian, but a certain general under Cao Cao, he would definitely be pretending to be a reckless man, and Cao Cao, who was too suspicious in the province, had a different mind.
Anyway, no matter what kind of role it is, it is easy for Wang Xiao to come by.
Role-playing is a hobby for others, but for Wang Xiao, it is life.
When it comes to acting skills, he is enough to get rid of all the actors in the world.
Cao Cao, who was inexplicably excited, stretched out his hand and pointed to Yan Liang's head, and instructed the people around him with a rebellious gaze, "Send Xu Du to the world, and show the world what the rebellion against the imperial court will be." ”
When he turned his eyes back and looked at Wang Xiao, Cao Cao said with a pleasant face, "Zijian, you have made great contributions, and I will ask the court for credit for you." ”
"Back to empty talk." Wang Xiao bowed his hand and saluted, "Meritorious deeds, please talk about it after defeating Yuan Shao." Now, isn't it time for us to go? ”
Cao Cao came to assault Baima with light troops, and now that he has achieved unprecedented results, he naturally wants to retreat and leave to avoid the retaliation of Yuan's army.
Previously, Cao Cao had chosen the White Horse as the location for a decisive battle with Yuan Shao.
However, after that, he fell in love with Guandu in the south, so he could give up after the siege was lifted.
Cao Cao, who was in a good mood, greeted the generals, and marched towards Guandu in the south with the garrison and people of Baima Ferry and heavy grain and grass.
He was already ready to abandon his plan to confront Yuan Shao on the banks of the Great River.
After all, the gap in strength between the two sides is too great, and dividing troops to garrison along the river can only be passive everywhere, and it is better to concentrate on one point.
The place Cao Cao chose was Guandu, which was located almost north of Xudu.
Taking the people south to Guandu, this scene is strikingly similar to the battle of Dangyang Changbanpo in the romance, except that Cao Cao's strength is much stronger than Liu Da'er at that time.
Yuan's army, which had previously been deceived by the strategy of striking east and west, crossed the river from the north bank of the Yanjin ferry.
There are a lot of soldiers and horses in this army, and Yuan Shao personally led the team.
Learned that Yan Liang had died in battle and that Cao Cao was retreating south. The furious Yuan Shao sent the general Wen Chou and Liu Bei, who had taken refuge in him, to lead thousands of cavalry to pursue Cao Cao. Yuan Shao himself came with a larger number of foot soldiers to follow-up support.
Judging from the strength and operational arrangement, there is no problem.
The fast cavalry pursues and bites the enemy, and the slow foot soldiers provide follow-up support in the rear. There's nothing wrong with that.
During the Battle of Changbanpo, Cao Jun did the same.
If there is anything wrong, it is that Yuan Shao did not choose a leader well.
Wen Chou, like Yan Liang, is a fierce general with a super high force value, but his IQ is very touching, making people feel like a fierce general.
It's no problem for them to charge into battle, but they can command a large army to fight, especially if the opponent is a wise general like Cao Cao who likes to play strategy, and the result can only be played by others.
In the modern world, it's roughly the kind of person who has to count the money for others after being sold.
Although it is said that Liu Bei is with him, and Liu Bei is somewhat wise.
But the problem is that Liu Bei came to Yuan Shao after being defeated and collapsed. Nothing but a name.
With Wen Chou's heart arrogant, how could he listen to him.
Just like now, when Wen Chou saw the baggage thrown everywhere, he did not hesitate to let his subordinates rob and loot the materials.
Regarding Liu Bei's dissuasion, Wen Chou didn't take it seriously at all.
At this time, Wang Xiao and the others were all hidden on the south side of the embankment on the bank of the river, because there was a barrier from the embankment, so Yuan Jun did not see them.
The heavy grain and grass brought from Baima before were still on the north side of the embankment, and it was these things that Wen Chou led people to rob.
Wang Xiao squatted on the edge of the river embankment, looking through the dense barren grass at the Yuan cavalry not far away.
This section of the embankment was built many years ago, and over the years, the river has already shifted a long distance. So the other side of the levee is dry land, not river water.
"How's it going, what's going on?" Cao Cao climbed down the slope and squatted beside Wang Xiao to ask.
"The cavalry of the Yuan army is dismounting and looting supplies, and more than half of them have already dismounted. Wait until two-thirds of the men dismount, and then you can attack. ”
Cao Cao glanced over there a few times, and continued to ask, "How can you attack?" Yuan Jun is ten times faster than us. ”
Facing Cao Sikong's examination, Wang Xiao responded with a smile, "The cavalry has extremely strong combat ability, but it is on horseback." The cavalry, which dismounted and was still covered with things, had little combat effectiveness to speak of. Moreover, they are now extremely scattered, and it is simply impossible to regroup in a short time. This kind of cavalry group, which has no formation to speak of, can be regarded as exposing all its shortcomings. ”
Cao Cao continued to ask, "If you are commanding that cavalry, what should you do when you encounter this kind of thing?" ”
"Those who strictly restrain the officers and men under their command, disrupt the queue without authorization, and dismount to pick up goods will be dealt with by military law. At the same time, a large number of scouts were dispatched to conduct intensive searches in all directions. ”
Cao Sikong looked at him, "Why are you so cautious?" Can't it be that the enemy army has been defeated? ”
Wang Xiao shook his head and said, "As a sergeant, what you have to do on the battlefield is to obey orders. As a general, what you have to do on the battlefield is to fight bravely. As a commander-in-chief, he is responsible for everything. On the battlefield, don't say it's this kind of arrangement, if things go wrong, there must be a demon. Even if there is nothing, the vigilance must not be let down. ”
"When the strength is superior, as long as you don't win, it is a win-win situation."
Cao Cao squinted his eyes and rubbed his forehead, "You... Where did you learn all this? ”
Wang Xiao lowered his voice and whispered, "There are a lot of history books and military books in Sikong Mansion. It is not difficult to draw inferences from history as a mirror. ”
Cao Sikong patted his forehead: "I have long known that you are talented and quick-witted. I also know that you have read all the books in Sikong Mansion in a few months. But I really didn't expect you to be able to read and use it to such an extent. ”
"Your talent is terrifying."
If Wang Xiao's identity this time is not Cao Zijian, Cao Cao, who is extremely suspicious, it is estimated that it is time to consider how to carry out the elimination plan.
Wang Xiao remembered the famous idiom, and said with a smile, "There is one stone in the world, I have eight buckets, my father has one bucket, and the world has one bucket." ”
Guo Jia and others, who had been listening for a long time, burst out laughing directly.
Although Wang Xiao's performance during this period of time is amazing, it is even far beyond imagination.
It's only a high fight or something, which is clearly a joke.
Cao Cao also laughed and cursed a few words, and then beckoned everyone to get on their horses and prepare for battle.
Now most of the cavalry of the Yuan army on the north side of the embankment have dismounted. The rest of them are also scattered in twos and threes, and there is no establishment at all.
There's never been a better time to strike. If they waited any longer, those Yuan troops should be back on their horses.
Amid the rumbling hooves of horses, hundreds of Cao cavalry shouted and crossed the embankment to kill.
The Yuan army, which was caught off guard by a surprise attack, barely made any decent resistance.
Cao has few soldiers, but he has no intention of fighting.
Yuan had a lot of soldiers, but he didn't have the slightest preparation.
The outcome is self-evident, and it can be intuitively understood by referring to the battle of Lieutenant Winters on the Dutch embankment in the Dutch Brothers to defeat two battalions of German troops with two squads.
Wang Xiao did not hesitate at all, crossed the embankment and went straight to Wenchou.
When he was observing on the embankment before, he had been paying attention to this fierce general who was as famous as Yan Liang.
The two people who can be called double walls, since one has been sent away, then the remaining one should also be reunited with his companion.
Wen Chou's fate was already doomed at the moment when he was targeted by Wang Xiao.
