Chapter 794: Burning Tiger and Leopard Ride
"Koji Yi, my uncle actually sent Koji Yi to beat us, hahaha!" Gao Yi couldn't help laughing after reading the note brought by Luoyue, "Doesn't Uncle know the relationship between me and Ko Yi?" β
Since Yan Liang arrived at Yuan Shao's place, in order to avoid being noticed, he has been passing the news with Luoyue to pass the pigeon, and Gao Yi knew many of Yuan Shao's military secrets.
Although Koji Yi became famous in the first battle after the Battle of Jieqiao, he was also feared by Yuan Shao because of his arbitrariness and disobedience to Yuan Shao's orders, and in the Battle of Longcuo, Koji Yi was defeated by Gongsun Zhan because of carelessness when he retreated.
"Fengqiu, that is to say, the place where Zhang Shao's defeated soldiers went, is it the base camp where Liyi is stationed?" Pei Yuanshao looked at the south of Guandu.
Gao Yi looked at Luoyue and Pei Yuanshao, and smiled very confidently: "Pass the order, the army will march towards Fengqiu, let's meet this old friend for a while!" β
Fengqiu City.
Liyi was checking the city defense at the head of the city at this time, he already knew about Gao Yi taking Guandu, and he could hit Fengqiu at any time, Liyi's original intention was to arrange a defense line here in Fengqiu, and then lead a strange army to attack Pei Yuanshao's men, but after learning that Gao Yi was also in Pei Yuanshao's army, he gave up this plan.
"General, for today's plan, we have more than 10,000 people, there is no need to defend the sealed hill at all, you can send a few troops out of the city to attract Gao Yi's attention, and then the main force in the city will take advantage of the situation to attack, I heard that Gao Yi's men and horses are only 20,000 people this time, and the general's troops are all elite in a hundred battles, why be afraid of him Gao Yi?"
Above the city, an adjutant general spoke earnestly to Koji Yoshi, and the soldiers behind him also nodded.
Lu Yi frowned: "You think things are too simple, now I am just a pawn of Yuan Shao, haven't you noticed that he Yuan Shao has been using all kinds of tough battles to wear down my power?" This time we seem to have 20,000 people, in fact, I can mobilize only 5,000, the others are ready to wait and see, if I don't fight, I will definitely be ridiculed for being cowardly as a mouse, if I fight, if I win, my brother will be killed and injured more, if I lose, maybe a cup of Yuan Shaoci's poisonous wine will be sent to me soon! β
Everyone seemed to have expected this situation for a long time, and they couldn't help but sigh.
A few people were very angry, clenched their fists and shouted angrily: "I knew that it was so unfair, the general should have taken refuge in Gao Yi, why should I suffer from this bird's anger, he Yuan Shao needs the general's help when he can't bear it, and he will be kind to talk about it, and now he will kick it away if he doesn't need it, it's really not a thing!" β
"General, we might as well take refuge in that Gao Yi now, it's better than being a nest here in Yuan Shao is more than a hundred times stronger!"
Everyone, you say a word, one voice is higher than the other, but Lu Yi is just silent, as soon as he raised his head, his eyes shone slightly, and he saw Feng Ji who was laughing slightly at the end of the crowd.
Everyone's discussion weakened, and their eyes looked at Feng Ji, this is the person Yuan Shao installed here in Liyi, nominally the prison army, but in fact he holds the command of 15,000 people in addition to the five thousand people in Liyi's department.
"Say, keep talking, why don't you say it?" Feng Ji smiled and walked over step by step, and the guards around him all looked arrogant.
Koji's soldiers automatically made way for Feng Ji and his guards to pass, and he came to Koji and sneered: "At the moment of the great enemy, General Koji's subordinates are so war-weary, it's really chilling. β
Lu Yi didn't even look at Feng Ji, and his tone was even more arrogant than Feng Ji: "My people, I teach my own lessons, just do your own thing!" β
Feng Ji was so angry that his face turned pale, but he was helpless, he said angrily: "It's good that the general knows which side he is on, Gao Yi's large-scale attack this time is not the only way, I just hope the general will not forget, this time he came to make meritorious contributions, if he can't repel the attack of the Gao family's army, what are the consequences The general knows better than me!" β
After saying that, Feng Ji snorted coldly and walked away.
Koji Yi didn't even look at Feng Ji, but shouted to the people around him: "Continue to investigate the movements of the Gao family's army!" β
"No!"
On the one hand, he had to defend Liao Hua who came to attack in Chenliu, and on the other hand, he had to divide a part of his troops to Fengqiu to cooperate with Liyi, after all, there was no army stationed on his own territory, which was really a bit of a joke.
But if some troops are sent, it will be a bit stretched to deal with Liao Hua, and Cao Chun couldn't help but be in a dilemma for a while.
"General, the information just came, Liao Hua divided his men and horses into three routes, all the way to the north to attack Junyi, all the way to the south to attack the Wei clan, the intention is very obvious, I want three places to be horns of each other, so that we are exhausted!"
Xiaozuo Pegasus reported the movements of Liao Huajun to Cao Chun, and his tone was very urgent.
Cao Chun waved his hand and ordered to go down, and gathered all his lieutenants to discuss: "Liao Hua's troops are divided into three routes, attacking Junyi and Wei's respectively, both of which are the gateways of Chenliu County, there is absolutely no room for error, we must divide our troops to rescue!" β
There was a lot of discussion at the bottom, and there was no result in the discussion, Cao Chun was a little angry: "Shut up for me, now Pei Yuanshao's army in the north is pressing the border, and the army of Zhoucang in the south is approaching Changshe, and the army of the lord is outside, if Chen Liu's gate is broken by Liaohua's men and horses, we will sit and wait, hum!" β
Everyone was speechless for a while, and a deputy general for a long time proposed: "General, the last general has a clever plan, Yuxian is the hometown of that Gao Yi, and many of his Gao family's ancestral graves are buried here, why don't we send someone there to dig his ancestral grave, and thenββ"
Before he finished his words, he was whipped by Cao Chun in the face: "You also call it an idea?" Digging up people's ancestral graves, is this what people do? How can there be such a scum as you in our army? β
The lieutenant Nono returned to his seat and was ridiculed by the other lieutenants.
Seeing that the sky was about to darken, Cao Chun ordered to go down and said: "The soldiers will block the water to cover the earth, and the city must first guard the gate, since Liao Hua wants to break the troops, we will also give him a tooth for a tooth, tonight I will take two thousand tigers and leopards to ride to save Junyi, and the clan brother Cao Xiu will take two thousand people to save the Wei family, leaving the tigers and leopards to ride a thousand people to guard Chenliu, after the two roads of men and horses repel the invading enemy, they will join forces to attack Kaifeng!" β
"No!"
That night, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu led the troops to march in two ways, but two hours later, Cao Chun rushed to the outside of Junyi City, and it was Liao Hua himself who attacked Junyi City, and he was about to take the city, but Cao Chun suddenly appeared and spoiled a good thing, Liao Hua originally wanted to fight hard with Cao Chun, but Cao Chun's tiger and leopard ride was really powerful, and Liao Hua could only retreat in a huff.
After saving Junyi, Cao Chun did not dare to slack off, led the army quickly south, and stopped at a place twenty miles away from Kaifeng, preparing to wait for Cao Xiu's men and horses to arrive before attacking Kaifeng according to the original plan.
However, Cao Chun couldn't have imagined that what he encountered in Junyi City was not the real Liao Hua, but just the name of Liao Hua pretended to be Liao Hua's sister Liao Qing, and the real Liao Hua was fighting with Cao Xiu outside the Wei City at this time.
"Sonorous!" Liao Hua's spear was cold, and he led his men and horses to surround Cao Xiu's tiger and leopard cavalry, and harvested the lives of the tiger and leopard riders little by little, he was glad that it was not Cao Chun himself, Cao Xiu was just a teenager with no command experience at all.
Cao Xiu also saw such a battle for the first time in his life, he clenched the silver spear in his hand, but there was no panic on his face, but asked the tiger and leopard knights beside him very calmly: "In this case, what will the clan brother do?" β
The soldiers of the tiger and leopard cavalry had only one sentence: "In one direction, kill!" β
"In one direction, kill!" Cao Xiu pondered for a moment, with a faint smile on his face, it was really a simple and practical guideline.
Then: "Armies, follow me!" β
The shouts of killing were everywhere, accompanied by billowing smoke and dust, Cao Xiu rode his horse to the front, and the tiger and leopard riders behind him also followed closely, and the heavy encirclement of the Liao Hua army was torn out of a big hole, and more than 2,000 people rushed out to kill, which can only be described as unstoppable.
"The afterlife is terrifying!" Liao Hua looked at Cao Xiu and the tiger and leopard riders who broke through, and couldn't help but sigh a little.
But then, there was a burst of pride in Liao Hua's eyes.
"How's our giant catapult ready?"
"General Qiyu, I have been in place for a long time, and these two thousand tiger and leopard riders are afraid that they will be killed in the sea of fire later!"
Before Cao Xiu had time to congratulate himself on breaking out of the encirclement of the Liao Hua army and the casualties were very small, he was shocked by the huge fireballs that suddenly appeared in the sky, those fireballs were like meteor fire rains, and hundreds of them smashed into the team of tigers and leopards.
The screams came and went in an instant, and the tiger and leopard riders also fell into chaos, many people were dressed in tight armor, and they couldn't take it off for a while, they were all burned alive, and the original strict formation was not the same, Liao Hua led the main force to take the opportunity to kill, and the tiger and leopard riders without the advantage of formation were tantamount to lambs to be slaughtered, and more than 2,000 people were killed or injured in just a moment.
Cao Xiu was also slightly wounded, and he fought hard, leading the remaining hundreds of tigers and leopards to break through to the north in disarray.
"General, the other party has fled, should we pursue?" Liao Hua's subordinates won a great victory over the tiger and leopard cavalry, and their morale was extremely strong.
Liao Hua poured a basin of cold water on them: "What's the hurry, these tiger and leopard riders we killed are just some recruits with little combat experience, Cao Chun himself brought a decent tiger and leopard rider, we don't need to rush over, just wait for him to come over!" β
