Chapter 157: Guo Jia's Worries
Just when the camp was attacking Cao's army and Lu Bu led the cavalry to kill, the city gate was opened, and Xiahoudun led 3,000 soldiers out of the city to respond.
This is a melee, two Cao armies attacked the Xuzhou army at the same time from the front and back, the situation that was originally unfavorable to the Xuzhou army was a different scene at this time, the combat effectiveness of the camp was strong, after entering the Cao army, the formation of the Cao army was quickly destroyed, and the three thousand Cao army that followed Xiahoudun out of the city was blocked by a thousand cavalry.
&; Cao's morale is high, how can the Xuzhou army show weakness, it is the Xuzhou army that has the advantage in the previous confrontation, and there will naturally be no retreat in the face of Cao's army.
After Lu Bu led the Xuzhou cavalry on the battlefield and passed it to the army, the soldiers of the Xuzhou army were excited, and this was the opportunity to give the Cao army a painful lesson, so that the Cao army realized the strength of the Xuzhou army, and it was still very necessary.
For a time, the war fell into a stalemate.
Cao Jun was eager to enter the city, but the camp was like a mountain in front of them.
After fighting with the trapped camp, many Cao soldiers showed a look of fear, they couldn't imagine that a foot soldier could have such destructive power.
Cao Cao frowned, at the moment when Lu Bu led the cavalry to intercept, Cao Cao knew that the road to Gaoping this time would not be smooth, and sure enough, the Xuzhou army carried out a fierce blockade outside the city, even if there were soldiers from Gaoping City, it could not stop the Xuzhou army from attacking.
"The trapped camp is really an elite person!" Cao Cao sighed.
Cheng Yu said, "Although there are only 800 people in the trapped camp, they can fight against the cavalry, and now the trapped camp is equipped with hundreds of refined blades, and the strength is even stronger." ”
Speaking of this, Cheng Yu also has a strong worry, in the Xuzhou army, there are not only brave and good cavalry, but also such elite foot soldiers, if the Xuzhou army is in a position, it must be the Cao army that is in danger.
Cao Cao nodded and said, "No matter how strong the strength of the Xuzhou army is, our army cannot fail in this battle." ”
Cheng Yu nodded firmly, after taking refuge in Cao Cao, he faced such a situation, Cheng Yu did not regret it in his heart, the same situation was put on the bodies of other princes, and it may not be as good as Cao Cao, when the situation in Yanzhou was critical, Cao Cao was able to stand up and pacify the yellow turban in Yanzhou in a short period of time, which is an incredible thing in itself.
"Go into the city as soon as possible, and don't fall in love with war." Cao Cao ordered.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turban opened the way, allowing Cao's army to break through the Xuzhou army and enter the city.
The city gate was closed, and the Xuzhou army outside the city began to be busy cleaning up the battlefield.
The soldiers of the Cao army in the city, showing a panicked face, the strength of the Xuzhou army in the battle outside the city was too strong, in the face of the Cao army's two-sided attack, the Cao army still beat the desert and fled, or rather, the Xuzhou army's attack was deliberate, even in the face of the Cao army's two-sided attack, it was still able to defeat the Cao army.
It was precisely because of Cao Cao's outstanding performance in Yanzhou that Yanzhou came out of the crisis of the state herdsman's death, which also made Cao Cao's prestige in the Yanzhou army further enhanced.
Cao Cao led the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army to defeat the Xuzhou Army, and many generals still had confidence, but after really fighting with the Xuzhou Army, what they saw was the gap between themselves and the Xuzhou Army.
Compared with the Xuzhou Army, the Cao Army not only has many gaps in equipment, but also in combat capability.
Whether it is the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army or the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army, they all belong to the Han Army, and they are also the Han Army, why is there such a big gap between them.
Especially in the camp, an ordinary soldier is equipped with a hundred refining blades, which makes Cao Jun's generals embarrassed, and many generals can use fine iron to forge blades, which is already amazing.
People are more popular than people, and the generals of the Cao army can only bear it silently in the face of all this, waiting for a miracle to appear.
"Fengxiao, since Cao Cao led the troops here, he has been hiding in Gaoping City and refusing to fight, could it be that he has other purposes?" Lu Bu asked.
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Wen Hou, the most anxious person at this time is Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao sticks to Gaoping and delays our army for other purposes, but the situation in Yanzhou is critical, if Cao Cao leads the army to battle and does not do anything for a long time, the officials of Yanzhou will inevitably be fluctuating." ”
"And Yuan Shuzheng led tens of thousands of troops to attack Dingtao, once Dingtao was broken, Cao Cao became a lost dog."
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Fengxiao's words are very true, if this marquis is Cao Cao, how can he bear it." ”
"Wen Hou is brave, no one can stop him, Cao Cao's fierce generals, none of them are Wen Hou's opponents, the most elite troops in Yanzhou have been brought out for Cao Cao, if Cao Cao can't repel the Xuzhou army, this engagement will also end with Cao Cao's defeat." Guo Jiadao.
In the process of fighting with the Xuzhou army, although the Cao army did not experience a major defeat, the morale of the army was obviously affected, and it was reasonable to rest for a period of time after entering Gaoping.
"The lowly duty is worried about the safety of Pengcheng." Guo Jiadao.
Lu Bu's eyes tightened: "Feng Xiao, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Pengcheng is where Wenhou's foundation is, if Pengcheng is lost, the Xuzhou army will definitely withdraw from the Yanzhou battlefield." Guo Jiadao.
"Feng Xiao means that Cao Cao will plot Pengcheng?" Lu Bu was puzzled, at present, Cao Cao couldn't even worry about the affairs of Yanzhou, wouldn't planning Pengcheng kill himself.
Guo Jiadao "Cao Cao does not necessarily have to plan Pengcheng by himself, he can promise Pengcheng to others, such as Yuan Shu, who is fighting against Cao Jun in Dingtao, conquering Xuzhou, Wen Hou's elite under the tent, if Cao Cao sends someone to Yuan Shu's army to know the interests of the people, once Yuan Shu is blinded by interests, he may send troops to attack Pengcheng, at this time Yuzhou has 20,000 elite soldiers stationed. ”
Lu Bu frowned, he suddenly found that what Guo Jia said had a certain truth, in the face of absolute interests, any ally is not worth mentioning, as a prince, Lu Bu naturally understands the truth, the current Xuzhou army and Yuan Shu are acting together, that is because the two princes have a common goal.
Strength growth is what the princes are chasing, as long as they can improve their own strength, other things are nothing to the princes, including reputation.
Like Lu Bu, in the place where he entered Xuzhou, he was a traitor who shouted for everyone, but the battle improved Lu Bu's prestige among the princes, and even when Lu Bu married Mi Zhen, the princes sent envoys to Pengcheng one after another, because they didn't want to offend Lu Bu, and it was best to make friends with Lu Bu and ease the past relationship.
