Chapter 505: Xuzhou (1)
Enemy Attack~"
the three counties of Chi County, Ying County and Laiwu County in the north of Taishan County; The three counties of Gumu, Zhuxian and Dongwu in the north of Langya County were attacked almost at the same time, and a big battle, less than an hour before and after, six cities were successively taken down. (Today, I turned the map and found that Taishan County belonged to Yanzhou, but since it was divided into Xuzhou, it can only be wrong)
After taking the six cities, Gongsun Du was not satisfied, he personally led the army south this time, with only one purpose, that is-
Xuzhou!
There is only one reason why Gongsun Du is interested in Xuzhou instead of Yanzhou, and that is the salt of Xuzhou! At the beginning, in order to get rid of Luoyang, Gongsun Du offered a salt-making method that should be in Xuzhou, but it made the imperial court rich, and therefore let Dong Zhuo's guy live for two more years.
Of course, more is to make Xuzhou rich. And now Xuzhou belongs to Cao Cao, although the time is still short, and there is last year's disaster, but the time is a little longer, Cao Cao can take Xuzhou to recuperate, and even because of the problem of Xuzhou Haiyan, Cao Cao is stronger than the strength of Cao Cao when he sat in the eight northern states in history.
"In this case, he must be killed!"
Gongsun Du thought viciously, and also did it with practical actions, ordering the army to continue to move south and capture Xuzhou in one fell swoop.
At the same time, the news that the Youzhou army was going south quickly flew to Xuchang, and at the same time, the general guarding Xuzhou also received the news and quickly raised troops north to intercept Gongsun Du.
Gongsun Du also learned about this, but he didn't care. However, when Gongsun Du led troops to take Mu County again and attacked Fenggaocheng, he encountered Cao's army in the middle of the road.
"Cao?"
Gongsun Du looked at Cao Jun Daxu from the telescope, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he said in a low voice: "Cao Cao hopes that his eldest son Cao Ang will inherit the mantle and stay by his side from time to time, but he loves this strange-looking third son very much, and he is relieved to let him sit in Xuzhou, hehe, not bad!" β
"It's just...... Do you want to teach this big nephew a fierce lesson? Or let Cao Cao try the pain of losing his beloved son again? Anyway, Cao Cao has so many sons! β
Dian Wei, who was close to the left, heard Gongsun Du's muttering, his eyes couldn't help but be a little weird, and he said secretly: Is Ming Gong envious and jealous of Cao Cao's heirs more than himself? Ming Gong is not a heavenly man, so he can only have one child with one woman? Immortals still envy mortals?
If Gongsun Du knew his thoughts, he would probably laugh and said: "Yes, yes, yes, it is an immortal, there are more than a billion immortals in China for two thousand years, and one person can scare people into ashes with one look, oh no, there is no ash!" β
"Who's in the way?" Zhang He in front of the head led the troops to shout.
"Who is you? Quickly let Gongsun Du come to answer, you are not qualified enough! β
The generals of the Cao army were very arrogant and did not take Zhang He in their eyes at all.
Although Zhang He was angry in his heart, he still shouted to himself: "Zhang He, a general under the command of a certain Ming Gong, is now ordered to find deserters, and you should get out of the way as soon as possible, otherwise you will ......."
After speaking, Zhang He waved his hand, and his soldiers shouted-
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The threat is known!
"What does it mean to send troops without permission and rebel? Don't call Gongsun Du yet, and plead on the ground, otherwise you will be good-looking! General Cao Jun was still arrogant, but he didn't know that the person in front of him was not a graduate of Xiamen University.
"Look for death!"
Since being captured, to being recruited, and entrusted with important tasks, Zhang He's gratitude to Gongsun Du has reached its peak, and now he heard that someone insulted his own Ming Gong, and the anger in his chest can no longer be suppressed, and he shouted wildly: "If there is a kind, come out to fight, otherwise don't be arrogant there, or go home to nurse the child!" β
"Look for death!" The general was also furious, and he also rushed out of the formation, rushing towards Zhang He at great speed.
Zhang He's eyes flashed and he greeted him. The generals of the Cao Army do not only have the power of their tongues, but they still have some strength, and they have fought with Zhang He for more than ten rounds.
After another battle, Zhang He shouted: "If you only have this ability, it is better to retreat early, so as not to lose your life in vain!" β
The general said: "Who doesn't say big words, Chang doesn't underestimate you, just your ability, and you're embarrassed to say big things, it's really a toad yawning - the tone is very big!" β
"Since you want to die, then this captain will fulfill you!"
There is a saying that "good words are hard to persuade damn ghosts"! Zhang He simply didn't say more, his face turned grim, and he raised his gun and rushed forward.
Chang Feng felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, but Zhang He had already been killed, and he couldn't let him think too much, so he also greeted him.
"Kill!"
The big gun in Zhang He's hand opened and closed, and Chang Xuan suddenly couldn't parry, but he already understood that what Zhang He said was true, and he was just testing the truth before. It's just that it's too late to understand now, and without waiting for Chang Xuan to think about it, Zhang He shot his blade three times in a row, and then shot straight into his throat as fast as the wind.
Chang Xuan was horrified and wanted to lean back to dodge, but Zhang He's gun was fast, and a shot pierced through his jaw, piercing the top of his head, and he died on the spot.
"The enemy general is dead, and all the soldiers are rushing with the captain of this school!"
Zhang He's arm shook, the spear was withdrawn, and he didn't look at the falling corpse of Chang Xuan, raised his gun and shouted, and rushed towards Cao Jun.
"Kill~"
An army of 10,000 rushed towards Cao's army with a rainbow of momentum.
Cao Jun was mostly an infantry army, and when he saw this, he simply remained motionless and held the formation.
Zhang He secretly praised the general of Cao Jun, and then rushed in with an unabated look. Seeing this, Cao Jun intended to surround and kill Zhang He with his numbers, but Zhang He was not so easy to get along with, a big gun waved one after another, but all the Cao soldiers who were close to him flew back upside down, pressing many people.
Zhang He killed more than ten people one after another, and the soldiers of the Cao army had already felt that something was wrong, and slowed down the speed of the siege under the command of his own general. But at this time, the Youzhou army behind rushed up again, and the 10,000 people were divided into ten units, all of which were in the shape of sharp arrows, and they also rushed into the Cao army's army formation. Unlike Zhang He alone, thousands of people rushed together, the power was really fierce, and they knocked over more than ten people together before the speed was slightly reduced, but it was only reduced.
"Kill~"
The general of the Cao army saw that the Youzhou army was about to break through the military formation, so the flag changed, and the rear army immediately rushed out of a cavalry army and killed it from the flank.
"Tiger and leopard riding?"
Looking at the elite cavalry that rushed out of the Cao army, Gongsun Du recalled the news he had received before and made a judgment. It's just that Gongsun Du is a little puzzled, although Cao Zhang is the most brave and warlike among his many sons, Cao Cao will not send the already small tiger and leopard riders to Xuzhou.
"Did you expect that? Or is it because you also see the importance of Xuzhou? β
Gongsun Du pondered, if the former is the same, if you guess it, you can guess it, in the face of absolute strength, it is useless, this time to the south, there are a total of six road army, in addition to his way, there are Zhang Liao, Gao Lan, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun and other five people. There are 20,000 troops on each road, a total of 125,000 men and horses, and the extra 5,000 is 5,000 more on Gongsun Du's side, including 1,000 personal soldiers and 4,000 soldiers of the cavalry battalion, mainly to protect his safety.
In addition, there are still Xu Rong and LΓΌ Bu in Jizhou, Sili (Hanoi County belongs to Sili) tiger eye, once Cao Cao moves troops in a big way, they will go south and look at Xuchang.
If it's the latter, it's a problem. With Cao Cao's caution and suspicion, since he realized the importance of Xuzhou, I am afraid that it will not just be done by sending Cao Zhang and the tiger and leopard to ride, and there must be another backhand.
Gongsun Du suddenly raised his vigilance, although the strength of the Youzhou army is stronger than the Cao army now, but even Cao Cao's ability, how can he underestimate Cao Cao, if this is the case, he should recuperate, and wait for Jizhou to fully recover, after the strength of the army increases, then raise troops to go south, instead of seizing Xuzhou now and cutting off Cao Cao's arm.
Only the word "fear" can explain it!
Gongsun Du groaned for a moment and shouted, "Han Meng! β
"Ming Gong!"
Han Meng is the former official of the Yuan family, the difference is that Yuan Shao does not pay attention to this arrogant old man, perhaps because of his age, so when Gongsun Du surrendered for the first time, he became his subordinate.
"That general should be Cao Cao's clan, and its commander is also the elite tiger and leopard rider in Cao Cao's hands, how about it, do you have the confidence to break the tiger and leopard ride? Or even capture Cao Xiu? Gongsun Du asked with a smile.
Han Meng shouted: "Please rest assured, Ming Gong's subordinates will definitely break the tiger and leopard ride and capture Cao Xiu!" β
"Hmm!" Gongsun Du nodded with satisfaction.
