Chapter 569: The Battle to Destroy Cao (31)

Sou!

Yuan Xi still didn't have full faith and shot an arrow at the masked man. The arrow stuck in the man's back, but there was no reaction. It can be seen that it is indeed a scarecrow, yes.

"It's me who is suspicious..."

Yuan Xi rode back on the four sides.

When he arrived at Gao Ran's side, he said: "Although the valley is strong, there are not many ambushes. You can kill it directly and kill it through the valley. ”

"Lord, are you sure there aren't too many ambushes inside?"

"Well, I've taken a closer look, and the ambush inside is made of straw. It's just used to hide people's eyes and ears. Wait for General Zhangjaw to lead the vanguard battalion, go around the back of Jia Xu, rush through the valley, and cut off his retreat. In this battle, I must catch Jia Xu. ”

Gao Ran said suspiciously: "What is the intention of the enemy army to bluff in the valley and lay a fake ambush?" ”

Hao Zhao replied: "Isn't this simple? Jia Xu does not have many troops, and he needs to guard many dangerous passes. And the valley in front of him is huge, how can he have those soldiers to ambush. So... Simply bluff so that we do not dare to enter. This will keep us in the south of Taiyuan. ”

"He's naΓ―ve...

Yuan Xi sneered.

If there are no four dissimilarities, you may be bluffed.

However, he had already seen it just now, and he knew everything about the situation in the valley.

"As long as the mouth of the valley is sealed, Jia Xu will be blocked on this side of the mountain. We will surround him with heavy troops, and he will be captured alive. Hao Zhao said.

"Hmm."

"Recall General Zhangjaw quickly. This is a task that only the Pioneer Battalion can accomplish. Yuan Xi said.

Woo woo...

The soldier next to him blew his horn.

Zhang Jaw, who was fighting in front, slashed two enemy generals in a row and rode back.

"What did the Lord call me?" Jaw asked.

Yuan Xi told Zhang Jaw about the situation in the valley.

Zhang Jaw said excitedly: "The last general is willing to lead the vanguard battalion, take the valley, and cut off Jia Xu's retreat." ”

"Okay, I wish you success."

Zhang Jaw went to order the soldiers and horses, and made a detour to Jia Xu's rear. At the same time, Yuan Xi also gave the order for the whole army to attack and kill. Tens of thousands of troops rushed towards Jia Xu.

Roar, roar, roar...

Jia Xu's military formation suddenly changed formation.

I saw rows of swords, axes and bows and crossbows, stretching in all directions, and hundreds of chariots appeared in the middle, surrounding a huge platform. Jia Xu stood on the platform. Behind him were a dozen flags, constantly waving.

"Kill..." Yuan's army stormed the formation.

"Hmph, it's not enough!" Jia Xu didn't pay attention to the tens of thousands of troops rushing in, and said to the soldiers behind him: "Defend first and then attack, and shoot the rear of Yuan's army on your back." ”

The soldier waved the command flag.

The pikemen in front of them all retreated, and the shield-bearers arrived. At the same time, all the bows and arrows in the formation were fired from the back.

The arrows flew like rain and fell on the back row of Yuan Jun.

Gao Ran led thousands of elites to storm the big array. Although it was difficult, the Hebei army, which was brave and good at fighting, still broke through the formation and entered the formation.

This scene also made Jia Xu a little surprised.

According to his deployment, Yuan's army did not have a chariot, and it was difficult to break through. However, Yuan Jun still broke through. It can be seen that Yuan's combat effectiveness is even stronger than he imagined.

This battle is also destined to be a bad battle.

"Change formation!"

Jia Xu ordered: "Abandon the outer formation, fight on the spot, and slow down the enemy's attack." Stick to the inner formation and meet the enemy in a tiger wing formation. At the same time, a thousand fast cavalry were sent to the right side to defeat the shield of Yuan's army. ”

..........

As Jia Xu changed formations, Gao Ran's attack seemed a little weak.

The thousands of troops who rushed to kill in front were entangled by Jia Xu's outer formation, and they couldn't advance or retreat. And the soldiers who broke into the formation were trapped and it was difficult to win.

The most worrying thing is that Jia Xu sent a thousand cavalry to attack Hao Zhao's flank.

There were three thousand shields, the key to attacking the enemy's ranks, and they were also entangled to death.

The battle had just begun, and although Yuan's army was numerous, it could not win.

Yuan Xi, who was watching the battle in the rear, couldn't help but say in his heart: "What a good strategist... It's a pity that it doesn't belong to me. If I have such a counselor, why bother the world? ”

He thought of Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, Xu Shu and so on.

Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu have already appeared. One is at Liu Bei's place and the other is at Cao Cao's place. Only Pang Tong still doesn't know where he is. If Pang Tong can be recruited, the Hebei army will be like a tiger.

"Kill..."

Zhang Jaw had already killed behind Jia Xu and attacked the valley like a bamboo.

Jia Xu, who was commanding the battle, looked back and was also taken aback: "How come?" In order to cover up the valley, he made sufficient preparations, and it was expected that Yuan Xi would not dare to enter the valley. However, before the battle was over, Zhang Jaw led the vanguard battalion into the valley. This is to cut off his retreat.

"Sir, open your jaw into the valley." Bao Xiandao.

"Order the withdrawal of troops..."

"Huh?"

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "Once the valley is lost, we will all be blocked outside the valley, and we will not be able to advance or retreat." After a long time, the morale of the army will be weakened, and it will surely fail. First retreat to the valley, rely on the mountain to hold on, and then try to return to the Jinyang camp. ”

"Yes."

Bao Xian passed the order.

Jia Xu led his troops back to the valley and went up the hill along the path.

The 10,000 Cao troops stranded outside the valley also slowly dispersed and retreated into the valley.

Gao Ran and Hao Zhao chased and beat fiercely, breaking into the valley.

............

This battle was originally a partial decisive battle between the two armies, and it was a field battle. But because of the open jaw, it evolved into an offensive and defensive battle.

The Cao army, which had withdrawn to the valley, under the leadership of Jia Xu, all went up the mountain.

and some Cao troops hiding in the mountains, jointly defended.

At this time.

Jaw had already rushed across the valley and sealed the other end.

so that Jia Xu could not withdraw from the valley.

Yuan Xi took four sides to probe in the sky for a while, and returned to Gao Lan's side: "General Gao, I went to explore just now, this is a lonely mountain." Jia Xu can't escape. You command the great army, exit the valley, and hold out outside. I'll let the jaw seal the other end. Jia Xu had no food and no soldiers, and he couldn't hold out for long, and he was defeated. ”

"The last will obey."

Gao Ran and Hao Zhao led the army to retreat.

It didn't take long.

Jia Xu was trapped.

Nearly 10,000 Cao troops were in the valley, unable to advance or retreat.

"After dealing with Jia Xu for so long, he finally trapped him. Lord, you can rest assured, Jia Xu is invincible this time. Hao Zhao said with a smile.

"Don't be careless, hold the mountain pass." Yuan Xi is not at ease.

Jia Xu is more cunning than a fox.

As long as there is the slightest gap, he will escape.

Then it will be a woe again.

"The end will block the mountain pass and prevent Jia Xu from escaping." Hao Zhao said.

For the next few days, Jia Xu stayed in the mountains and did not move. Yuan Xi also did not give the order to attack the mountain. It's just spending it there with Jia Xu. Anyway, Yuan Jun had endless food, but Jia Xu didn't.

Until the sixth day.

Yuan Xi received a piece of news that shocked him greatly.

Before Cao Ren was defeated, he actually sent more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, from Lishi to the Xiongnu border, and then to Yanmen Pass. Unexpectedly, Yanmen Pass was captured.

And Tian Yu, who was stationed there, because he had just taken over the defense, had insufficient troops, and neglected to take precautions, but he did not resist this strange army of Cao's army.
