Chapter 82: The First Frontal Battle
Jizhou
Yuan Shao killed cattle and sheep, set up altars, sacrificed blood, worshiped the ancestors in heaven and earth, and begged Cao.
"I, Yuan Shao, inherit the way of heaven, lead the king's teacher, crusade against Cao thief, and hope that God will bless me!" Yuan Shao worshiped on the high platform.
"Victory! Win! Win! The soldiers in the audience raised their troops and shouted, greatly boosting the military prestige.
Yuan Shao will be in Jizhou, the soldiers from Jizhou, rushed to Guandu, all the way stretching for hundreds of miles, are marching soldiers, banners all over the field, swords like a forest.
Yuan Shao sat in a four-horse-drawn carriage, the momentum was very strong, a person drove a horse close to Yuan Shao, and said to him: "Lord, our army is a hundred miles all the way to the soldiers, from the city to here has passed an hour, to finish, such a momentum, invincible." "The person who spoke was Yuan Shaomou and Xu You.
Yuan Shaoyan: "This is inevitable, this is the first time I have seen such a military situation, and Cao Jun must be frightened." "We have divided into three armies from Guandu to form a momentum of mutual assistance, and I am afraid that Cao Cao will be difficult to break even if he has great means. The territory of Xuzhou was conquered at this moment, and Cao Cao was in danger at both ends at this time, and he had no time to take care of it. ”
Cao military camp
Everyone knew that Yuan Shao had led an army of 700,000 to this point, and people were panicked.
Cao Cao summoned everyone to discuss, "Yuan Shao's 700,000 is coming, how should we fight it?" ”
Everyone looked at each other and whispered, but no one spoke. On the side, Shi Yue glanced at everyone, as if everyone was the same, no one dared to say that he knew how to win, and he didn't know.
Cao Cao got up from his seat, walked and said, "Yuan Shao's army of 700,000, how is it?" I haven't seen it, and I guess you haven't seen it either. "But these 700,000 are all vulnerable and rabble compared to my Cao army. I only need 70,000 to win! ”
"I knew that there was such a battle today, a few years ago I incorporated 70,000 Qingzhou soldiers to train in Yanzhou, and now these 70,000 are all elite soldiers, all of them are proficient in formation, and they are all familiar with bow and horse riding, and they only need 70,000 to defeat him in this front-line battle."
"I have more than 200,000 yuan, and I just need to stick to everywhere to be a backup. This is my way to win Yuan Shao. ”
Everyone stood up and said to each other, and we will win.
Shi Yue naturally knew in his heart that it was not so simple to strengthen the army. It's still hard to fight. And we also have an Achilles' heel.
The crowd dispersed, and Guo Jia left behind to say to Cao Cao, "Lord, we don't have much military food, and it is difficult to fight for a long time." ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he was quite resentful, "It's grain and grass again, and every time it's a shortage of grain and grass." ”
Cao Cao asked, "Nearly 300,000 people, how long can the grain and grass last?" ”
Guo Jiayan: "Less than a month. ”
"Then I'll win in a month." Cao Cao said.
Guo Jia said: "I'm afraid, if the enemy deliberately delays the time of the front, we will be defeated." "I'll figure it out."
Cao Cao asked again, "How is it over there in Xuzhou?" ”
Guo Jia: "Xun Yu can defend it, and after defeating the Yuan army, he will return to Xudu." ”
Yangwu, Yuan Shao led the army here, divided into three armies in three places, and went down to the village here, and Zhang He and others, who were deployed not far away, learned and came to see the lord.
Yuan Shao was frustrated, "I didn't listen to the words of the prison army before, and let Wen Chou cross the river to fight, which led to the loss of our troops and generals, and I was also at fault." ”
"There is no need to talk about the past. ”
Yuan Shaoyan: "You have full command of the overseers in this battle, can the public be at your disposal?" ”
Frustration said: "Do not disgrace the mission." ”
The faces of the judges, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Xu You and others present were different. Especially the two sons of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang. In this battle, Yuan Shao's three sons all came with him.
Yuan Tan came out of the queue and asked for instructions, "Father!" Please let me lead the army as the vanguard and conquer the Cao thief. ”
Seeing this, Yuan Shang was naturally not to be outdone, "I am willing to fight for the vanguard!" ”
The ministers discussed their own opinions, praised the courage of the two sons, and the luck of the lord.
Yuan Xi was unmoved, and fought with the two of them.
Yuan Shao pondered, "I know the intentions of the two of you, you don't have to fight anymore, I am the pioneer in the first battle." The two of them listened to it and didn't say much.
Yuan Jun sent a battle order and told Cao Cao that they would fight tomorrow.
Cao Jun received the order, and the two armies met in the opposition on the same day.
Yuan's army lined up on both sides, and the heavily armored soldiers held shields in front of them. Yuan Shao drove in the middle, and the rear was the three sons and the soldiers.
Cao Cao rode his horse in front of the army, and both left and right were generals. Later, 70,000 elite soldiers went to the front line.
Cao Cao rode his horse in front, alone, to the middle of the field. Yuan Shao knew what he meant, and got out of the car and drove over.
When Cao Junzhong Shi Yue saw it, he asked Xiahoudun on the side, "What are you doing?" Reminiscing? Don't set a table? ”
Xiahou said: "The general doesn't know, Meng De and Yuan Shao were classmates, and in today's battle, there will be a lot of words in my heart." ”
Shi Yue thought to himself, what are these two people talking about? Power struggle, the trend of the world? At a glance, it seems that the more the two talk, the more excited they become. There is a little bit of a feeling of a child quarrel......
I saw that the two of them each seemed to say, "Phew", and rode back to their respective armies.
Shi Yue knew in his heart that the plot was very simple, it should be like this.
Cao Cao: "You stupid X." ”
Yuan Shao: "You stupid X." ”
After Yuan Shao returned to the army, he was full of anger and directly ordered, "Go to war!" ”
The cavalry of the Yuan army took the lead in the battle, and Cao Cao saw it, "The archers are arranged!" ”
The archers of the Cao army came forward, drew the bow and led, and ten thousand arrows were fired at once, and before the cavalry could get close, they were knocked off their horses.
"Shield Support." Yuan Shao ordered.
The heavily armored shield soldiers in front are in front, and the shield is in front, blocking the Cao army's random arrows. The spearmen in the rear followed, slowly approaching Cao's army.
"Catapult, on!" The soldiers in the rear, holding the heavy stone in the car, throwing it, the stone under the sky is bombarded, smashed on the heavy armor shield soldiers, one or two can still block it, with the heavy stone keeps falling, finally can not block it, smashed the Yuan army's various internal organs, Yuan army's shield formation is broken.
"Chariots out!" Yuan Shao saw the situation and ordered.
The chariot pulled by the two horses in the rear drove away quickly, and the shield soldiers got out of the way and let them attack.
Cao Cao said: "The archers retreat, the front army arranges and defends!" ”
When the front army arrived, each holding a shield, they were interconnected to form an iron wall, preventing the chariots from breaking through the formation.
The two-horse chariot attacked, and the Cao soldiers behind the shield came out with a bayonet from the gap, stabbing the war horse up, the horse got up and the cart overturned, and the man who commanded the horse fell to the ground and was assassinated by Cao Bing. But there are also times when it doesn't work, the chariot rushes over, and the man who commands the horse commands, the two horses jump up, cross the back of Cao's shield, or follow the shield and rush to Cao's army, destroying the formation.
Cao's soldiers were in chaos, the chariots broke in one after another, and the shield soldiers of the Yuan army attacked, Yuan Shao saw the situation, "The army can go up!" "The Yuan army gathered to attack.
Cao Cao shouted: "Fight! ”
The major generals of the Cao army rode their horses in front, led the army, and fought the enemy. After Shi Yue followed Xiahoudun and others, he killed enemy soldiers all the way. "Here we go!"
Under Yuan Shao's army, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Jiang Qi and others led the troops to meet the battle, and the two armies fought together.
Cao Cao took off his coat, stood in front of the drum, and beat the drum for the army.
In a car on the battlefield of Cao Jun, there were a few coughing sounds, it was Guo Jia driving on the battlefield, pointing his fingers at the person driving a horse in front of Yuan Jun, and said to the soldiers on the side, "Everyone listen to my command." ”
Yuan Jun drove a horse before the war, and pointed his fingers at Guo Jia in Cao Jun's car. "Listen to me!" Frustrated.
