Chapter Seventy-Four: Turning the Tiger Out of the Mountain
Cao Cao each assigned the task to everyone, and everyone led their soldiers to move immediately.
Yuan Tan Junzhong
Yuan Tan was a little displeased when he learned that Yuan Shang was attacked, but it was fine. Summoned the generals and said: "Cao Cao led the army to defend Xuzhou at this time, and there is no need for us to set up a village here to attack, just go back to the neighboring city to hold on." ”
"What Childe said is very true!" Everyone agreed, and there was no objection.
Cao Cao led the army and the generals to a place not far from Yuan Tanzhai, "Yuan Tan led a large number of Qingzhou soldiers, and it is not a good strategy to forcibly meet them head-on." ”
Shi Yue thought for a while, "I'll lead an army to fight first, this army doesn't have to win, first defeat by cheating, lead Yuan Tan's army out to pursue, and lead an army to attack the village." Yuan Tan is not Zhang He, he was defeated in the siege before, and now he should have grievances, and now he is defeated by us, and if he has this opportunity, he will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue. At this time, we can sneak attack Dazhai, burn its heavy grain and grass, and then besiege it. ”
Cao Cao said: "If Yuan Tan is really what the general said, then this is the right plan." But it's best to cheat and lose. ”
Shi Yue replied, "Naturally, you are the best lord." "This kind of thing still has to be said by Lao Tzu, you work hard more than anyone else.
Cao Cao said: "Okay, I'll lead an army to attack first, and Ang'er, you will go with Pan Feng to attack the village." ”
On the side, Cao Ang said: "With the general here, it will definitely be done!" I'm willing to go with it! ”
At the end of the discussion, Cao Cao led the army first.
Another place, in Yuan Shangjun.
Liu Bei was forced to lead an army to lure the enemy to interfere, and Zhang Fei said on the side: "We will directly kill the village and enter it, why cower." ”
Liu Bei said earnestly: "Don't mess around, don't you forget what General Pan Feng said, Zhang He is good at using troops, if he doesn't act according to the plan, I am afraid that something will happen, which will be extremely unfavorable to me, so I can do my own thing." ”
Zhang Fei responded, but he didn't know if he listened.
Yuan Shangjun learned that Cao Jun was coming outside, thinking that Pan Feng was here again, and immediately asked Zhang He to meet him.
Zhang He led the army to come and was a little surprised to see that it was not Pan Feng but Liu Bei. Zhang He is not in a hurry to fight with it, looking at the army that the other party is coming, there is still a shortage of soldiers, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like attacking the village, and if you want to be tempted, there must be fraud.
Zhang Fei saw that the other party had been opposing each other, and after a long time, he finally couldn't help shouting, and rushed directly with his spear, but Liu Bei couldn't stop it.
Zhang He didn't step forward to meet the battle at all, commanded the order, and shot arrows randomly. Zhang Fei was helpless in the face of the arrows, Liu Bei saw that it was not good, and immediately asked the soldiers to go to the rescue, and the soldiers stepped forward to rescue Zhang Fei from the predicament, and then Zhang He saw that the enemy army had entered the battle, and immediately ordered the soldiers to attack, and the crowd stormed away.
When the battle was not long, the army led by Liu Bei could not fight and began to retreat.
Zhang He no longer pursued, and already knew the enemy's strategy, so he immediately went back to Yuan Shang to report.
Outside Yuan Tan Village
Cao Cao led a large army from the west. After a while, it was discovered by the patrol and sent a signal. The soldiers in the village hurriedly set off.
Yuan Tan learned that it was Cao Cao who came here, "What? It was Cao Cao who came. ”
I also went out to meet each other and led Gao Ran to fight together.
The two armies met each other outside the village, "Cao thief, we will finally meet today, and we will not surrender quickly." Yuan Tan said domineeringly.
Cao Cao said with a smile: "Wait for the child, if you speak disrespectfully, who will kill it!" ”
Liu Dai came out of the ranks, "Prime Minister! Give this man to me! ”
After that, Liu Dai went out to battle with a gun and rode up.
Gao Ran didn't need Yuan Tan to say much, he went out to battle directly, and stabbed straight away with his gun.
Liu Dai shouted: "Who is coming? Gao Ran didn't say a word, rode past his right, spear stabbed under the shoulder, Liu Dai saw the other party's coming, immediately changed the offensive to a defensive position, Gao Ran couldn't attack, rode behind him, and counterattacked. Liu Dai hurriedly slapped his horse and turned away, and at this time, Gao Ran stabbed his right arm with a shot. Liu Dai couldn't react and was stabbed, Liu Dai let out a roar of pain, and Gao Ran took advantage of the situation with a shot, stabbing him to death and falling under the horse.
Yuan Tan saw it and shouted: "Okay! The soldiers also shouted and demonstrated.
Gao Ran looked at Cao Jun and shouted, "Who else?" ”
"I'm here to fight!" Cao Cao's subordinate Wang Zhong came on a horse with a halberd.
Wang Zhong's halberd swung away, Gao Ran waved his spear to block it, and then stormed over. Multiple guns stabbed the enemy's vital points, Wang Zhong saw the ferocity of the attack, did not dare to engage in battle, and immediately fled.
Yuan Tan's army was greatly invigorated, everyone shouted around the flag, and Yuan's army attacked Cao's army and left. Cao's army defeated two generals in a row, and the enemy army was fierce and unable to fight. Yuan Tan saw that Cao's army was gone, so he rode his horse and rushed away.
Cao Cao shouted: "Withdraw first!" We'll withdraw first! ”
Cao Jun then fled. Yuan Tan was very happy in his heart, and the haze dissipated in the previous battle, "Don't let Cao Cao run away, the generals will follow me!" ”
Gao Ran wanted to shout, but Yuan Tan had already run away, so he had no choice but to follow along.
Cao Cao looked back and saw Yuan Tan's army attacking, "Ji Cheng!" ”
In another place, Shi Yue and others had to report that the boss was chased and beaten, and he could leave.
"Childe, I'm ready to go!" Shi Yue and Cao Ang on the side said, Cao Ang said: "Everything listens to the general's words." ”
He immediately ordered a detour to attack the east of Yuan Tanzhai.
Yuan Tan led a large army to attack Cao and left the village, but only a small number of troops could defend it.
At this time, Shi Yue led Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao to attack, and there was chaos in the village. The general of the garrison shouted: "Don't panic! Close the gate! Shoot the arrows! ”
There are few troops in the village, and those arrows can't stop the offensive of Cao's army at all. After a while, everyone broke into the village, and Shi Yue shouted: "Generals, you go up." The crowd went on it, and the enemies in the village were killed and fled, and Shi Yue burned the grain and grass camp account in the village with a fire.
"I'm going to help the lord!" Shi Yue ordered.
Shi Yuejun attacked Yuan Tan from the rear and left.
Yuan Tanjun was reluctant to chase Cao Cao at this time, and Gao Ran saw the smoke rising from the rear, "Something happened in the village!" ”
Yuan Tan also knew the plan, and immediately ordered to rush back. At this time, Shi Yue's army in the rear rushed forward, and Cao Cao's army rushed forward. The two armies were surrounded, flanked in front and rear, and the two armies fought together.
Shi Yue slaughtered indiscriminately in Yuan's army, hiding from Gao Ran, not wanting to fight the other party head-on. "You can't see me, you can't see me."
Gao Ran was besieged by Zhu Ling, Lu Zhao, and Wang Zhong at this time, seeing that the general situation was not good at this time, and it was useless to fight for a long time, he found an opportunity to get out and go to Yuan Tan, "Childe, I will withdraw to the city first, and there is no need to stay here." ”
Yuan Tan can't do anything, and he doesn't seem to be able to win now. "I'll retreat!"
Yuan Tanjun began to withdraw and flee, so he withdrew and fought, was killed all the way, and fled. Cao Cao saw that it was about the same, so he stopped pursuing, and if he went down, the opponent's dog jumped over the wall in a hurry to fight to the death, which was disadvantageous. And he ordered them to return to the city.
In another place, in Yuan Shangjun's army, they had already pulled out the village and returned to the nearest city to defend it, and Zhang He knew that the purpose of Cao's army was to attack Yuan Tan's place and weaken the strength of the first army. At that time, he could still rush to support and inform Yuan Shang, but Yuan Shang was not allowed to send troops to help when he heard it, saying that he was afraid that his side would also lose too much and would be unable to resist the defense of the city at that time. Yuan Shang's thoughts are still clear to Zhang He. So no longer persuasive, the two withdrew their troops and left.
Zhang He remembered what the military advisor had said to him, and he had already remembered it.
Outside the border between Xuzhou and Qingzhou, a Yuan army has arrived here.
The leading man is Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi, Yuan Xi said: "Go and report to the military advisor, I thought I would come here." ”
