Chapter 102: The First Battle of the Nanyang Battalion

Countless people ran up, and it was actually spectacular when viewed from a high vantage point.

It's like migrating herbivores on the African savannah.

Cao Zongyu's eyes swept over the battlefield, and he slapped the railing and said: "Send the order to go down, the outpost, the left outpost will go out of the camp to meet the battle, and the middle sergeant is ready to go out of the camp with me." ”

"Your Excellency." Cao Wuda was taken aback and said, "My lord, this is too dangerous. ”

Cao Zongyu looked at this face similar to the original one and said, "This is a military order. ”

"Yes." Cao Wu immediately agreed.

Cao Wu, who was born as a beggar and was accepted as a family member by Cao Zongyu, has never fought any battles at all, and he doesn't understand many situations, but he also knows that hugging Cao Zongyu's thigh is the only way to survive, so he naturally cares about Cao Zongyu.

After being in the army for so many days, I also know what a military order is, and I dare not disobey it even if I am worried.

Of course, Cao Zongyu knew that guarding the camp was the easiest thing to do. However, the reason why Cao Zongyu did not do this was based on many reasons, the first is this Xizhai.

Xizhai is the camp of the official army, and after Zhang Xuan's reinforcement, although it is said to be very strong, but there is still no way to compare with the city. In Cao Zongyu's view, this camp could not be supported for a few days, and among the plans discussed by Cao Zongyu and Zhang Xuan, there was a plan to abandon the camp and withdraw the entire army into Xiayi City.

Second, there is the issue of reserves.

The best weapons to use on the walls are firearms and crossbows.

It's just that there aren't many firearms and bows and crossbows in Zhang Xuan's army, so they must be spared. And when Cao Zongyu looked at these people, they looked menacing, but in fact, they were just a rabble, and they were just guts, so he was absolutely sure that he would defeat them in one fell swoop and frustrate the spirit of the officials and troops.

Cao Zongyu's order was very open.

The gate of the fortress was immediately opened, and a total of 1,500 people from the left outpost of the Chinese army in the Linying camp immediately left the camp.

But in a few breaths, he set up a position against the camp.

"Kill."

For a while, the two sides bumped into each other.

As Cao Zongyu expected, these driven soldiers had no courage at all, and they could still rely on their blood and courage when they rushed up, but after being killed by the Linying camp, they immediately lost all their courage and retreated.

Cao Zongyu sneered and said, "Attack." ”

The big banner with the character "Cao" suddenly tilted forward, and the flag seemed to hang down.

The soldiers of the Linying battalion accelerated violently and rushed up, even though there were many ravines on the ground, and there were low walls or something, but Cao Zongyu had already familiarized them with this place, these ravines and low walls were all things they dug out by themselves, so although the speed of progress was a little slow, they also bit the tail of the defeated soldiers.

For a while, I don't know how many officers and soldiers fell to the ground, and then they were trampled to death by countless feet.

At this moment, Huang Degong was watching the battle, and couldn't help but say "Okay." Word.

Huang Degong didn't expect that under the pressure of the army, Zhang Xuan, a thief, would not honestly defend the village, but dared to go out of the city to fight, he said: "What courage, who is this person surnamed Cao, do you know?" ”

Shaking his head left and right, Ren Youhama's heart moved, and said, "Could it be Cao Cao's relative?" ”

Huang Degong kicked Ren Youhaka violently when he heard this, and said, "Cao Cao's surname is Luo." ”

Immediately he saw that there were still soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion who wanted to drive away the defeated soldiers, and he immediately said: "Pass the order, leave the defeated soldiers alone, and let them continue to be defeated." ”

"Yes."

Huang Degong said to Ren Youqiao again: "Immediately rectify the horse team, I will use it immediately." ”

Ren Youhao looked at the situation on the battlefield, his heart moved, and said, "General, you want to hold them?" ”

Huang Degong said: "Less nonsense, go quickly." ”

"Yes." Ren Youqian said immediately.

Ren Youqian said that Huang Degong's thoughts, Huang Degong thought like this, the thieves dug potholes near Xizhai, the ravines were rampant, and the horses couldn't run at all, so they could only attack with foot soldiers, and even the siege equipment couldn't be transported anything.

However, this area is not too big, without him, Zhang Xuan does not have so much manpower and material resources to dig up all this area.

As long as the thieves were greedy and rushed out of this area, he immediately ordered the cavalry to attack on the side and bite off a large piece of more than a thousand thieves.

As for those who were the least defeated, Huang Degong didn't pay attention to them at all.

However, if Huang Degong dealt with someone else, this strategy might still be successful, but for Cao Zongyu, Cao Zongyu is definitely not the kind of person who is easily carried away by victory, as soon as he rushed to the ground, he immediately ordered and said: "Retreat." ”

Although the other officers of the Nanyang battalion were reluctant to accept this good situation, they did not dare to disobey Cao Zongyu's order, so they could only withdraw in a huff.

All this was in Huang Degong's eyes, and he secretly said in his heart: "This surnamed Cao is brave and strategic, and it is not easy to deal with." ”

It's just not easy to deal with, and it's not in Huang Degong's eyes. Huang Degong said: "Let's get those rout soldiers to go to the other side, it's useless." ”

"And what is the general going to do?" Ren Youqian said.

"What should I do?" Huang Degong said: "It's hard to do it, call Tian Xiong over to me." ”

"Yes." Ren Youqian said.

The news of the victory in this battle immediately reached Zhang Xuan's ears, no, Zhang Xuan should have noticed it when this battle was engaged, after all, standing tall and seeing far?

After winning the first battle, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel relieved and said secretly: "Sure enough, Brother Cao's ability to use soldiers."

, maybe still above me. With him here, Huang Degong is not worried. ”

Even if Huang Degong is a brave general, in the face of the heavily guarded camp, can he still rush up one by one? In this case, Zhang Xuan would have to wonder if he was at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Xuan put aside his worries and turned his gaze to the south. That is, the area guarded by Deng and Linying's camp.

Zhang Xuan didn't know much about the people who were besieging the city, but it seemed that there was just a "horse" flag.

It's just that this person, who has no place to take risks, has just arrived at this moment, and under the protection of shield carts, he rushed under the wall.

This kind of unfettered offensive made Deng He have no choice but to wait for the shield car to approach and bombard it with artillery, just to save not much gunpowder, so he could only prepare to send people to counterattack while preparing to let the shield car get close enough to open fire.

The situation is now tepid. And the officers and troops were also preparing to fill in the trenches first and then attack the city.

The north side is similar to the south side.

However, Zhang Xuan knew who was attacking the city in the north, it was Liu Liangzuo.

Zhang Xuan is not even more worried about this.

Before, Zhang Xuan only knew that Liu Liangzuo had a nickname, called Huama Liu, or Huama Jian. I don't know why it's called that, it seems to be because Liu Liangzuo likes to ride a variegated horse.

After talking with Yuan Shizhong, he dug up a gossip.

As far as Soma is concerned, generally speaking, the solid color is the top and the variegated color is the bottom, and Liu Liangzuo is called the flower horse Liu, which has a profound meaning and can be imagined.

Of course, the nickname can only be used as a reference, Zhang Xuan looks at Huama Liu's offensive, it is really sparse enough, although there are many people, but it is not much stronger than Liu Zeqing, no, it is not even as good as Liu Zeqing. Even if Wang Jincai is a little uncompetitive, he can still do it if he defends the city step by step.

With Liu Liangzuo's ability, I'm afraid he won't be able to attack it.

As for the east, people with brains will not attack from here, Xizhai and Xiayi are not far away, once the official army attacks from here, Yuan Shizhong attacks from Xiayi City, and the official army will be wrapped up in an instant.

Zhang Xuan looked around, and then turned his gaze to Cao Zongyu's side, he knew that the place that really decided the victory or defeat of the two sides must be here, and it must be the victory or defeat between Huang Degong and Cao Zongyu.

Zhang Xuan was very worried in his heart, and he always wanted to go directly to supervise the battle, but he also knew that it was not necessarily beneficial to do so, so he kept saying in his heart: "Calm down, calm down, calm down." Giving it all to Brother Cao is the best way. ”

But this is the most rational way, but it is not the most reassuring way to make yourself.

Zhang Xuan was hanging at the moment. Can't let go, can't let go.

Suddenly, Zhang Xuan saw that behind Huang Degong's array, there was smoke and dust rising, which was a sign of the mobilization of soldiers and horses, and he looked at it with all his heart, hoping to see some clues.
