Chapter 336: Out of the Customs
"Bang~"
Fight again, it is still difficult to distinguish the winner from loser, Ma Chao wants to cross Xu Chu to chase and kill Cao Cao, but Xu Chu wants to desperately protect Cao Cao to escape, the two fought like this for dozens of times, Xu Chu brought the tiger guard almost wiped out, and the cavalry brought by Ma Chao was also lost more than half, and the horn sounded in the distance, that was Cao Cao's reinforcements arrived, at this time there was obviously no chance to continue to pursue Cao Cao, Ma Chao looked at Xu Chu hatefully, the spear in his hand became more and more brave, he wanted to kill Xu Chu before the Cao army surrounded him, to relieve the hatred in his heart.
The big gun flew over, and gradually became a little weird, Xu Chu was already a little struggling, but he still dragged Ma Chao desperately, there were not many tiger guards around, once Ma Chao retreated, in the face of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that swarmed up, Xu Chu could only hate on the spot even if he was fierce.
"Poof~"
Ma Chao's shot left a bloody hole in Xu Chu's body, but the knife that Xu Chu cut down almost split Ma Chao's head, fortunately, Ma Chao was in a hurry, raised his head to dodge, but the helmet was cut by Xu Chu, and although the gun stabbed by Ma Chao injured Xu Chu, he failed to take this opportunity to kill Xu Chu.
"Count on your fate!" There was blood constantly leaving on Ma Chao's forehead, sliding off his face, and the horn of the chasing soldiers of the Cao army in the rear was already very close, and he had no time to entangle with Xu Chu anymore, so he turned the horse's head and led the men and horses to kill in the opposite direction.
Xu Chu was furious and beheaded more than a dozen Xiliang cavalrymen who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to pick up the cheap, and he was also stabbed twice, but this catastrophe was over after all.
"Zhongkang, where's the lord!?" After Xiahou Yuan arrived, he saw the recruits who were in a mess, and he felt bad, so he chased all the way, but he didn't catch up with Ma Chao, but he saw Xu Chu resting in place, bandaging his wounds, and hurriedly asked.
"The lord fled...... Ahem...... The lord has returned to Suiyang. Xu Chu sighed, looked at Xiahou Yuan and said, "The lord is fine, the general should go after the thief as soon as possible!" ”
Cao Cao was indeed unharmed, but he was a little embarrassed, and was forced by Ma Chao to cut his beard and abandon his robe, which was definitely the first time in Cao Cao's career, and at the moment he returned to Suiyang, Cao Cao almost fell to his knees if he was not supported by a war horse when he dismounted.
"Lord, are you okay?" Xun Yu, who came in a hurry, looked at Cao Cao like this, and said while helping him.
"Unharmed." Cao Cao took a deep breath, then looked at Xun Yu and said, "Pass on my military order, and order all the troops to kill Ma Chao with all their might, regardless of life or death!" ”
Without too many words, Ma Chao offended Cao Cao this time.
"Whoa!" Seeing that Cao Cao was indeed fine, Xun Yu nodded and immediately went to order.
On the other side, after Ma Chao shook off the pursuers, the scouts quickly detected that Le Jin was leading the soldiers and horses towards this side.
Turning his head and glancing at the tired soldiers behind him, Ma Chao knew very well that at this time, it would be difficult for him to win when he encountered any way of the soldiers and horses, although he had just broken Cao Cao's guards, but in the process of fighting with [5200 www.bqg5200.biz] Xu Chu's tiger guard battalion, Ma Chao's cavalry losses were also quite serious, and if there was another battle at this time, it would be himself who would lose.
"General, what now?" One of the generals asked.
"Go south!" Ma Chao thought for a moment and said, Cao Jun's encirclement network must have been wrong with Xiahou Yuan's pursuit, and this loophole was in the south.
In fact, it was just as Ma Chao thought, because Ma Chao suddenly went crazy and went directly to find trouble with the Chinese army, which led to errors and omissions in the encirclement network deployed by Cao Cao before, and also gave Ma Chao a chance to break through, when Xiahou Yuan received Cao Cao's order and was ready to continue to encircle Ma Chao, Ma Chao had successfully got rid of Lejin and broke out from the direction of Xiahou Yuan, and later Cao Hong and Li Dian were a step slower after all and failed to trap Ma Chao again.
After Cao Cao got the news, he could only secretly admit that he was unlucky, which could be regarded as indirectly helping Ma Chao become famous.
"How could Chen Mo let such a reckless man come to explore the truth of our army?" Cao Cao finally couldn't help it, and complained to Guo Jia and Cheng Yu beside him.
Change to a normal general, unless you know that Cao Cao is bluffing here, even if you want to break through, you will not find Cao Cao here, after all, no one would think that Cao Cao is the commander of the three armies, but there are not many elites around him, but he didn't scare Ma Chao, but was killed by Ma Chao and lost his armor, and almost staged a scene of ten thousand troops taking the head of the coach from it.
If he really succeeded, Cao Cao would probably be ridiculed if he died.
"I heard that when Chen Cao was fighting for Muye, it was also this Ma Chao who found Yuan Shao's grain by mistake, which eventually caused Yuan Shao to have to fight with Chen Mo." Guo Jia on the side shook his head and said, this Ma Chao is really a bit evil, I didn't say it in advance, this luck is really good, last time I accidentally burned Yuan Shao's military rations, this time I attacked Cao Cao directly, and took over the forced Cao Cao to cut his beard and abandon his robe, not only tried to find out Cao Cao's reality, but also made himself famous, by the way, before the battle began, it made Cao Jun's morale low once, where does this make people reasonable?
When Cao Cao heard this, his face became more ugly, so Ma Chao is really a lucky general, but he is not his own lucky general.
After a moment of sighing, Cao Cao spoke: "Command all departments, continue to move forward." ”
There is no turning back from the bow, Cao Cao can't give up this battle because of a Ma Chao, he can't continue to wait, this battle is imperative.
"Whoa!" Everyone agreed, and after Cao Cao joined Xu Chu, he gathered his troops and horses again and began to set off to Chen Liu, although this time he let Ma Chao run, but next time, Cao Cao vowed to take revenge.
This time, Cao Cao didn't dare to wait for the logistics men and recruits to go on the road, and Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin followed the soldiers and horses on the left and right guards, and rushed all the way to Chen Liu, preparing for a decisive battle with Chen Mo.
On the other hand, Chen Mo has also sworn to go out, this time, Chen Mo also mobilized a lot of people, mobilized 70,000 soldiers and horses from Guanzhong and Jizhou, plus the defenders in the Xingyang area, plus the army of Jizhou and Cao's army, this time, Chen Mo sent more than 100,000 troops, since the chaos in the world and the disputes among the princes, although the princes are known as hundreds of thousands of each war, but in fact, the war between Chen Mo and Cao Cao is the war that has mobilized the most troops so far.
Counting the soldiers and horses mobilized on the battlefields on both sides, this time the two sides fought a big battle, with a total strength of nearly 300,000 people, and the eyes of the princes of the world all fell on this side.
At the end of December, 70,000 troops from Chenggao came out of the customs and stepped into the Central Plains battlefield, and all kinds of large-scale war equipment were continuously pulled up.
Xingyang, General's Mansion.
"Lord, this is the defense map of the Xingyang area, please take a look." In addition to Xingyang, Aocang, Zhongmu, Jingxian, Guancheng, Longcheng, and other cities controlled by Chen Mo east of Chenggao, Yu Sheng also chose strategic places like Guandu, Meishan, and Putian to set up large camps, and also marked the information such as the guards and the distribution of troops.
"In order to prevent the betrayal of the generals, these cities and camps have two main generals, if the main general defects, the deputy general has the right to kill him, and vice versa, in addition, beacons are also set up in various places, and grain and grass are sent every half month, and each time you need to match the flag, password and corresponding tokens, if you don't match anything, you will be regarded as an enemy." Yu Sheng explained in detail to Chen Mo and the others the deployment of the sergeants in this area and his defensive measures.
Chen Mo listened with relish, honed, and turned his head to look at the crowd: "You are all generals in the army, can you add anything?" ”
Supplement?
The generals looked at each other, how to add? Yu Sheng almost arranged all the enemy attack methods he could think of, and changed it to anyone, if he wanted to attack Chen Mo's city east of Chenggao, he couldn't think of any way except to attack, if he had to talk about the problem, he could only say that Yu Sheng allocated his troops too carefully, but because of this, if the enemy attacked a little, it would be difficult to free up his hands to support, and he would move his whole body, but now that Chen Mo is here, he also brought 70,000 elites, this problem is not a problem, as far as defense is concerned, Yu Sheng has done it to the extreme, No matter which direction Cao's army attacked, there was no other way to go except to storm it.
Even if someone is rebelled, or someone makes some sneak attack, according to Yu Sheng's arrangement, it is impossible to get any big breakthrough, and even if the Cao army purely attacks, the so-called 300,000 army, even if it finally breaks through Chenggao, I am afraid that it will not have the strength to attack Luoyang.
What's more, now that Chen Mo is here, it is impossible to give Cao Cao a chance to advance step by step.
After a while, Xun You took the lead in exclaiming: "I have heard that General Yu is known as the Iron Wall General, and when I look at this picture today, I will know why the general has this name!" If the deployment from Xingyang to Zhongmu is as the general said, I am afraid that no one will be able to find any omissions. ”
The rest of the generals also nodded silently, Yu Sheng is the same as Bao Geng, he is the earliest general who followed Chen Mo, although he has always been in charge alone, but among the generals under Chen Mo, he is far less dazzling than Bao Geng, who first followed Chen Mo, and even many people complained for Bao Geng, why can Yu Sheng be alone, but Bao Geng has always been by Chen Mo's side, and he was not named a marquis until after his death.
Looking at this picture now, and listening to the explanation of the rest of his life without hurry, the generals are convinced, and the iron wall general is worthy of his name, in the face of this kind of opponent, it is definitely an extremely difficult thing for the enemy to break through his defense.
Although Bao Geng was brave, he died in battle for the first time, although he was a little disrespectful to the dead, but in terms of ability, Yu Sheng was indeed stronger, at least he was in front of him, and everyone could rest assured.
"Now that Cao Cao is attacking with his troops, Yu Sheng, where do you think it is suitable to fight Cao Jun?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.
"Guandu." Yu Sheng pointed to the map and said: "The terrain here is open, suitable for cavalry galloping, and if the Cao army wants to use the strategy, it is difficult to be effective, the west is high and the east is low, and the terrain is more conducive to our army." ”
Chen Mo nodded, looked at the map and smiled: "Not bad." ”
