Chapter 67: The First Battle of Liyang
Liyang
Cao Cao ordered the forbidden army to fight Yuan Shao head-on, and it was bound to start the first battle, and it was bound to win. Cao Cao said: "In the first battle, the Yuan army will definitely test first, and will not send too many troops to fight, so you must win." ”
Yu Banyan: "Yu Ban takes orders!" ”
Yuan Shao learned that he sent Jiang Qi to lead 30,000 troops out to meet the battle.
The soldiers of the two armies have been fighting for a long time, and have been idle in the army, and at this moment the war is starting, the morale is average, the two armies are on the battlefield, and the enemy army is forbidden to come, "Brothers, follow me!" "In order to boost the army's momentum, Yu Ban bore the brunt of the attack and went to meet the enemy general.
Jiang Qi also made his move, rushing forward and fighting with Yu, and the military momentum of the two armies was especially prosperous.
Yu Ban's spear went straight to the opponent's head, Jiang Qi saw it, and he didn't dodge, the long knife went to the position of the spear, raised, bounced off Yu Ban's attack, and slashed down with the trend. Yu Ban could only block the gun horizontally, shouted loudly, shook it away with force, and swept away with the gun, Jiang Qi rode his horse to hide.
The two fought for thirty rounds without a win, and the same was true for soldiers killing each other.
Jiang Qi saw that the situation was about the same, so he shouted, "Withdraw!" Immediately he turned his horse and fled, and the soldiers obeyed the order and immediately followed.
Yu Ban saw the enemy fleeing, "Chase!" The army pursued them.
Cao Jun was in full swing and chased after him, Jiang Qi turned his head to look at it, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Jiang Qi's army was driven to one place, and an army came out to block it, and this army shot ten thousand arrows.
Yu Ban shouted: "There is an enemy ambush, retreat!" ”
The enemy was covered by thousands of arrows, and Yu Ban had no choice but to chase after him, so he could only retreat first. The morale that had just been raised dropped again.
Yu Ban led the troops back, and when he didn't walk long, he heard the shouts from the rear, and the Yuan army attacked again.
Jiang Qi shouted: "Hugh go!" ”
Yu Ban saw Jiang Qi coming again, "Angry, all the generals will follow me!" ”
Cao Jun fought against Yuan Jun again, Yu Ban still faced Jiang Qi, and the two still fought without a victory.
However, the morale of Cao's army gradually weakened, and because of the enemy's ambush just now, Yuan Shao counterattacked, and the momentum was even worse.
Zuo Chuan said: Once fighting, then declining.
Yu Ban saw that the soldiers were gradually defeated, so he stopped fighting for a long time, "Withdraw!" Withdrawal! "The soldiers withdrew and returned to the camp.
Jiang Qi saw that the enemy had fled, "Don't chase!" We have retreated from the enemy's army, and the mission is complete. Yuan Jun returned.
In Cao Junzhai, he learned that the initial battle of the ban was unfavorable, and the soldiers were even more sluggish. Originally, there were rumors that Yuan Shao's army was large, and we could not win, but now that it was defeated at the beginning of the war, it was even more serious.
In the military tent, in the forbidden crime, "the last general was defeated in the first battle, and now the adverse effects are created, and he is willing to eat military punishment." ”
Guo Jiayan: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, if the general is condemned because of defeat today, won't everyone in our army panic." ”
Cao Cao said: "What Fengxiao said is extremely true. "However, defeat in the first battle is indeed unfavorable to our army."
Guo Jiayan: "This person is even more powerful than me, and his command and supervision of the army is so powerful that no one can match it except Yuan Shao." "But the first thing to do now is to win a battle and boost morale. Our two armies are far apart, more than 80 miles, and it is too far to command. Next, the lord will personally lead the troops into battle. The lord is good at soldiers, and he will be able to deal with it. ”
Cao Cao looked at one of the generals and said, "Zihe, this time you will fight with me." ”
The person he was looking at had a ruthless face and a strange momentum, and this person was Cao Ren's brother, Cao Chun.
Yuan Shao in the army
Jiang Qi met the battle and won, and Yuan Shao praised him. "Now that Cao's army is defeated for the first time, the army must be sluggish, and it will definitely fight again, what should we do?" Yuan Shao asked.
Judging the words: "Our army can hold on, there is no need to fight again, Cao Jun can't fight, and he will go back." ”
Feng Jiyan: "Lord, our army is flourishing at this time, if we don't fight, won't we miss a good military plane, what about the Cao army, how strong our army, how can we be defeated by him, if we win again, the Cao army will definitely have no morale." ”
Yuan Shao looked at Fu Zhu, "What does the public mean?" ”
Frustration said: "It is true that it can fight again, but this battle is bound to be important to Cao's army, and the enemy army may fight Cao Cao himself in this battle, and the army will be greatly boosted, and Cao Cao's good soldiers may not be able to win the battle head-on." ”
Yuan Shao heard that Cao Cao took the initiative to fight, and was very interested, "Cao Cao wants to fight, how can we be defeated, if we don't fight, how will it be spread in our army." ”
Frustration said: "What you said is also true, then lead the elite soldiers to meet it." ”
Yuan Shaoyan: "Chun Yuqiong, you lead 20,000 elite soldiers and 30,000 soldiers to fight Cao Cao." ”
The general Chun Yuqiong was ordered to fight.
Cao Cao was the main general, and Cao Chun went with the army.
Cao Cao said to Cao Chun: "We will win this battle, Zixiao, how are all the preparations?" ”
Cao Chun said: "To prepare for a long time, now is a good opportunity to try the knife." ”
The two armies met on the battlefield forty miles away, and the general Chun Yuqiong saw Cao Cao leading the army, and the troops he brought were far inferior to his own. "Is Cao Jun without soldiers?" Cao Cao's troops were a group of cavalry, and about 20,000 infantry.
"All the armies rush with me!" Chun Yuqiong didn't say much. The leader of the army is facing forward, at this time the army is in full swing, and the number is more than the other party, and he intends to attack it all in one go, regardless of how good he Cao Cao is in the use of soldiers.
Cao Cao rode his horse forward, "Lead the army!" All will follow me! Cao Cao took the initiative to meet the battle, and all the soldiers were full of momentum and attacked in one swollen manner.
Cao Chun rode his horse to attack Chun Yuqiong, "Who is coming?" Cao Chun asked, "I am Chun Yuqiong, the general of the Yuan army, and I don't want to escape today." ”
Cao Chun raised a gun to fight with him, Chun Yuqiong was taken by Cao Chun in every move, Chun Yuqiong was shocked, who is this person? I heard that Cao Cao's fierce generals Xu Chu, Pan Feng, and Xia Hou were all fierce generals, but this person's face was like frost, and his eyes were as silent and sharp as death. Not at all like those people.
Chun Yuqiong attacked and left, Cao Chun was expressionless, slowly retreated, took advantage of the enemy's gap, and went away in attack, and Chun Yuqiong narrowly dodged. This man is speechless in attack and defense. Chun Yuqiong has never seen such a general, Yan Liangwen and ugly generals, when attacking, they will all shout and show anger, but this person is weird.
Cao Cao commanded in the army at this time, and the group of cavalry, "gathered in the middle and drove directly." ”
This group of cavalry drove their horses as fast as the wind, with a spear in their hands, and drove straight away, stabbing countless enemy soldiers on the way they passed, and killing a corpse from it.
"The left and right wings, for the side." The cavalry that rushed into the enemy's army, scattered left and right, the Yuan army suddenly saw such a fierce Cao soldier, deeply frightened, and before he could calm down, the Cao army cavalry began to attack, and the Yuan army who went up to fight was assassinated, and the entire Yuan army was in chaos. Cao Cao's infantry in the rear attacked again, but Yuan's army could not block it.
Chun Yuqiong looked back at it and was shocked, how could it be so, the 20,000 elite soldiers he brought were powerless to resist. Our elite soldiers are evil wolves, how can they be vulnerable.
Cao Cao looked at it, "My soldier is a tiger and a leopard, choose one out of a hundred people, there is a tiger and a leopard, and the courage is incomparable, how can you be an enemy of this soldier." ”
Tiger and leopard riding, Cao Cao personally selected troops and formed a group, among which there were many death row criminals, each of whom was not afraid of life and death, brave as a tiger, and specially dispatched at important times. Among the Cao army, the only person who can lead this army is Cao Chun.
