Chapter 5: Breaking the Camp

Cao Cao led his troops to Hanoi, at this time Yuan Shaotun's troops were in Huai County, and Hanoi's Taishou Wang Kuangtun's troops were in Heyangjin to reject Dong Zhuo.

Wang Kuang was the Taishou of Hanoi, but he gave up his base camp to Yuan Shao and ran to the front line to resist the enemy.

It's not because he's stupid, but Yuan Shao is now the leader of the alliance, and he is a noble family of the fourth and fifth dukes, and his fame is too great, so he is willing to be Yuan Shao's younger brother.

Otherwise, it should be Yuan Shao who went to the front line in Heyang to resist Dong Zhuo.

Yuan Shao heard that Cao Cao was coming, and hurriedly went out of the city to greet him.

Cao Cao asked Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan to lead their troops into the city and arrange camping.

Cao Cao doesn't have many soldiers in his hands now, and he doesn't have his own territory, except for Yuan Shaofeng's fake Fenwu general, he doesn't have any serious official position.

But Yuan Shao still values Cao Cao very much, because they are friends who have robbed the bride together, and now Cao Cao is the little brother who has come to join Yuan Shao.

It's one thing to have deep feelings when you're young, but now that you've grown up to make a career, your feelings can only be ranked second to your interests.

Cao Cao is a person with great ambitions, and he will not be willing to be Yuan Shao's younger brother all the time.

Yuan Shao took Cao Cao to the Taishou Mansion and arranged a banquet to catch the wind.

After three rounds of drinking, they each told their own stories about their situation after fleeing from Chang'an, and finished talking about their feelings and getting down to business.

Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao and said, "Meng De, now Dong Zhuo has held the Son of Heaven hostage, forced Chang'an to move, and controlled the government. Although we have risen up to fight against Dong Yijun, Dong Zhuo's army is strong, and it may be difficult to win for a while. Jizhou Mu Han Wenjie discussed with me, and wanted to promote Liu Bo'an, the assassin of Youzhou, as the honor, and ordered the soldiers and horses of the world to discuss Dong Zhuo, what do you think? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he thought to himself, how could this work. If you set up Liu Yu, other places may also set up others, and then the world will be in chaos.

At the moment, he replied angrily: "Dong Zhuo's crime is violent all over the world, and we will not respond to the public, raise volunteers, and respond from far and near, because we are moving with righteousness." Now that the young lord is weak, he is controlled by traitorous ministers, and there has not yet been a provocation of Changyi to destroy the country, and once it changes, how can the world be safe? The monarchs welcome Youzhou in the north, and I go to Chang'an from the west. ”

Yuan Shao thought to himself, this buddy has a different heart.

Since Cao Cao has refused so righteously, he can't say anything more, and if he talks too much, it will hurt the feelings between his friends.

At this time, in order to change the topic, Yuan Shao took out a jade seal, stretched it out in front of Cao Cao and said: "Meng De, look at this jade seal, this seal is used to ask for Dong's edict, which is enough to confuse the truth." Why don't I print this to you, and in the future, you can summon the world's states and counties, can you? ”

Cao Cao didn't pick it up, but said with a smile: "You can keep such good things, I haven't listened to you today." ”

He knew what this jade seal was, it was just a fake seal. He Cao Cao wants to take everything openly, and he will not engage in these filthy conspiracies.

If you think about it carefully, although Cao Cao has done a lot of bad things in history, he doesn't seem to do much about conspiracy.

Yuan Shao saw that Cao Cao's oil and salt did not enter, so he had to say to Cao Cao: "You were killed in the battle of Xingyang, and now most of them are newly recruited soldiers, you can rest and train here with peace of mind, and I will arrange the grain and grass." ”

Cao Cao just responded hehehaha, and only returned to the barracks tent in the evening.

Li Xian is also a general and a military candidate, after Long Kang resisted the rebels, he knew that if these 500 soldiers were trained well, not to mention being promoted and making a fortune, at least he would have a better chance of surviving on the battlefield in the future.

He thought of Gao Shun's trapping camp.

Of course, Li Xian knew that he couldn't compare with Gao Shun, but he could draw a gourd to learn from him.

So Li Xian named his 500 people "Broken Camp".

There are more than 700 people in Gao Shun's trapped camp, known as 1,000 people.

Li Xian's broken camp now has only 500 people, and it is also called a battalion.

Three days later, he gathered together the 500 men who had broken the camp and gave a lecture.

After three days of rest, these Danyang soldiers below were all in good spirits, and they were all waiting to go into battle to kill the enemy and receive a reward for meritorious service. Because of Long Kang's record of resisting the rebels with zero casualties, they felt that the enemy soldiers were not terrible.

Li leaned into armor, looked at everyone, and suddenly asked loudly, "Do you want to get rich?" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then replied neatly with a shout: "Yes." ”

"Do you want to worship the marquis?" Li Xian shouted loudly again.

"Yes."

"Well, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. So what do you have to do to pay homage to the marquis? ”

"Kill! Fight the enemy! Fight the enemy! ”

The shouting shook the sky, startling Cao Cao in the big tent, followed by Xiahou and Cao Ren and others.

"Are you afraid of death?" Li Xian asked loudly with an angry roar.

"Don't be afraid." Five hundred people replied in unison.

"I'm afraid." Li Xiangang said that everyone laughed at the bottom.

After a pause, Li Xian continued: "But is it useful to be afraid of death?" When facing the enemy, the people who die the fastest are those who are afraid of death, so I am not afraid of death, I don't want to die, and we will not die until we kill the enemy.

Even if he dies in battle, it's nothing, at most it's a scar the size of a bowl, and twenty years later, he will be a strong man. You say don't you? ”

"Yes."

"Are you still afraid of death?"

"Don't be afraid."

Li Xian stared at them carefully for a while before he said: "You Danyang men are all heroes, they are the first warriors in the world, and they can be ten on the battlefield. Although we only have 500 now, we can defeat the enemy's 5,000 men, because we are all warriors who break the camp. ”

"Break the camp! Break the camp! Break the camp! Five hundred people shouted in unison, and their spirit shook the sky.

"In the battle of Xingyang, I personally beheaded eighteen heads, I believe that you are more brave than me, and I also believe that each of you can behead twenty enemy heads. What is the slogan of our camp break? ”

"Forge ahead, never back down!"

"There are golden beauties in front of you, and when you retreat, you can only wait for you with a big sword, so you have to remember. The first to ascend will be rewarded, and the latter will be killed. ”

After the lecture, the training continued.

The Danyang soldiers are all strong, and there is no problem with personal physical training, and Li Xian's main thing is to improve their courage and fierceness.

Brave and fearless, fierce and powerful, first of all, it is necessary to put pressure on the enemy army in terms of momentum.

Since it is a broken formation, it is to rush the enemy's battle formation, as long as the enemy's formation is scattered and chaotic, the enemy army will lose.

Zhang Liao's Hefei 800 rushed Sun Quan's 100,000 to the same, of course, Sun Quan's 100,000 soldiers besieged the city at that time. Zhang Liao only rushed to one side, there were definitely no 100,000 soldiers, but there would be 20,000 or 30,000.

However, Zhang Liao had too few soldiers and horses, only 800 people, and he could only rush the enemy formation, but he could not pursue and kill the enemy. If Zhang Liao had led 8,000 people at that time, then Sun Quan would definitely have lost his armor at that time.

In ancient times, when two armies fought against each other, one side was generally lined up and the other side was charged.

Li Xian and the others had no horses, all of them were foot soldiers, and their weapons mainly included ring-headed knives, spears, halberds, bows and shields.

Li Xian chose those with strong arms to hold bows, those with weaker strength to hold shields, and others to hold swords and spears.

Cao Cao looked at it for a while and left with a satisfied smile.

As he walked, he said to Xiahoudun next to him: "Li Buzhi's broken camp is very imposing, there are not many soldiers, but in the fine, I don't think he has the talent to command the army." Yuan Rang, you go and ask the quartermaster to deliver them a hundred pairs of armor, and if there is iron armor, give as many iron armor as possible. In the future, if there are horses, I will also equip them with cavalry. ”

Li Xian was given eighty pairs of leather armor, which he gave to officers of the rank and above to wear.

Li Xian usually lived with his brothers in the army, and he himself already had armor, which was rewarded to him by Cao Cao after the Battle of Xingyang.

After a month of training, Xiahoudun received an order from Cao Cao to let another 500 people from Qu come to practice with Li Xian's camp-breaking to test the combat effectiveness of the camp-breaking camp.

In order not to cause casualties, both sides used long sticks and shields as weapons.

Li Xian also wore armor and went into battle in person, and in ancient times, those who led the troops on the battlefield had to go into battle, and they would be brave in the soldiers, and the troops would be defeated if they fled.

The other party lined up in formation, and Li Xian himself was at the head of the formation, leading the five hundred people under his command to rush towards the opponent's battle formation.

When charging, you must also maintain a good formation, if your own formation is chaotic first, it is not to break someone else's formation, but to let others break your own formation.

Because it was a drill, no bows and arrows were used, and the actual effect did not show much, but Li Xian's five hundred people rushed over like fierce tigers. When the soldiers on the other side saw that momentum, they were in chaos before they could rush to it.

As a result, he was beaten up by Li Xie's 500 people, beating the other party to cry for his father and mother, and fled in embarrassment.

Li Xian's broken camp thus made a name for himself in Cao Cao's army, and he was almost ready to go into battle.
