Since Zhou Tai rose forward, the Cao army's large array was actually difficult to maintain. And once he died, it allowed Yan Jun to completely grasp the overall advantage.

On the battlefield, the cavalry of the Yan Army, which had received the highest instructions, began to prepare in an orderly manner under the rectification of their respective generals, and quickly entered the new battle, and the division of labor was clear, and the efficiency was amazing!

Among them, the first cavalry was concentrated in the western part of the battlefield, and began to use Qu, Tun, and team as units to quickly sweep and kill Zhou Tai, Chen Wu, and Xu Sheng, who had fallen into a state of collapse. Liu Bei has a total of two recognized elite troops, a naval army and a foot soldier, both of which are about 10,000 people, and now the establishment can basically be declared extinct. Even if he can gather a few thousand remnants in the end, he is destined to be the same as the cavalry on Cao Mengde's side today, and he is no longer useful.

Liu Bei's elite troops were lost, and Cao Cao's more than 9,000 Chinese troops were also not spared.

In fact, at the same time that the armored cavalry rapidly expanded the results of the battle and strangled and eliminated the elite troops of Liu Bei's third battalion, the light cavalry of the Yan army also quickly relaunched the suppression because the real arrow reserves in the direction of the Guandu battalion were delivered, and the target was that the original formation was a little chaotic, and because Zhou Tai suddenly moved westward, he fell into the Du attack department that was attacked from three sides.

However, the Du Raid Department, which is also directly under the Chinese army, and even better equipped because of Cao Cao, has performed somewhat unsatisfactory...... Or to put it bluntly, compared with the previous three battalions of Zhou Tai, Chen Wu, and Xu Sheng, the resilience, combat power, and battlefield reaction speed of the Du Raid Department are obviously inferior.

The Yan army's light cavalry repeated its old skills, throwing a rain of arrows over a large area, and without waiting for the casualties to reorganize and impact, the casualties did not reach a certain limit, and its troops actually faintly wavered.

This naturally aroused the discussion of the staff of the Yan Army and the Central Army who were approaching the front line again.

It must be known that according to the discussion of the elite troops of the Cao and Liu families by the Yan Army before the war, in terms of the number of troops and the territory and population of the two families, it is generally believed that both families should have them, and they can only maintain about 20,000 core elite troops - Liu Bei's side is simply direct, that is, more than 10,000 sailors, and less than 10,000 Chinese army soldiers, all of which have been explained; But Cao Cao didn't have a naval army, so before Jing'antai's analysis, it should be the front line of 5,000 soldiers and 3,000 tiger and leopard cavalry led by Lejin, maybe there are still a small number of elite troops at Xiahoudun, and the rest is naturally Cao Cao's middle army.

But it is clear that Cao Cao's performance at this time is obviously somewhat unworthy of the name.

"What do you think of Wenhe and Gongda?" Gongsun Xun listened to the discussion of the staff beside him, but suddenly participated in this seemingly nonsensical question. "Why is Cao Cao's army so unbearable?"

"With all due respect." Xun You watched the battle silently, Jia Xu smiled bitterly, and could only answer. "If you want to find an explanation, you can always have ......"

"For example?"

"For example, at this time, the enemy's large array was difficult to maintain, and the strength of the army was defeated by one of the three, and the victory or defeat of the battle was clear, so the enemy army was already frightened."

"Makes sense."

"For example," Jia Wenhe sighed as he continued to fold his hands on the horse. "The courage of the soldiers. Looking at the previous Zhou Tai Zhou Youping's unyielding, it is enough to be called heroic, but it can be seen that his subordinates should be like generals who are good at fighting, unyielding, and dare to die. And Cao Mengde was in a hurry to meet the surprise attack of our army, in order to set up a large array, forcibly divided the original Chinese army into three, and let the two subordinates stand in separate formations, not to mention the generals, the minister did not think that these two people in the Cao army formation could be as brave and powerful as Zhou Youping......"

"It's nature." Gongsun Xun also sighed. "How many people in the world can compare with Zhou Tai's posture just now? Not to mention that Mao Jie is a moral minister, Du Xi is a son from the Yingchuan family, he is talented, wise and brave, and after all, he has a few points less blood and energy...... Naturally insufficient! ”

"Your Highness is very true." Xun You finally interjected with the same expression. "Du Zixu is a splendid character inside and out, which is enough to be useful, but after all, the splendid is just splendid, you can make a crown dress, you can also put a quilt, you can also wrap a knife, and you can barely use it to wipe the blade when necessary, but how can it directly intersect with the blade?"

"Well said." Gongsun Xun nodded immediately, and blurted out without looking at Xun Gongda. "But what is there to complain about being born in this world? Was he left alone by those who were ruined by troubled times, and even innocent people died? ”

Xun You immediately had nothing to say.

Gongsun Xunfu looked at Jia Xu again: "What Wen and Shicai said seem to have a unique argument together...... How, do you think that the Du attack army formation is far inferior to the previous three battalions for another reason? ”

"Yes, yes." Jia Wenhe is also slightly positive. "Chen has been watching it just now, but he always feels that the gap between the Du Raid Department and the previous Zhou Tai Third Department is too big...... What does Gongda think? ”

Xun You, who was asked about his head, bowed slightly: "That's true." ”

"Therefore," Jia Wenhe turned around, and said yes. "The minister thinks that Du Xian's department seems to be inferior to Zhou Tai, Chen Deng, and Xu Sheng."

Gongsun Xun squinted slightly, thoughtfully.

And Jia Wenhe continued: "But the minister thinks that it is absolutely correct for Jing'antai to conclude that Cao Cao can maintain about 20,000 core elites based on the territory, population, and total military strength, because this kind of condescending judgment cannot be wrong, it is just the topic in the Dao "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic". Therefore ......"

"Therefore, if Cao Cao has a few thousand elite foot soldiers here, he will definitely be more elsewhere?" Gongsun Xun suddenly turned his horse back and sneered. "And where is it?"

Jia Xu echoed and smiled, and did not say much.

But Gongsun Xun directly asked and answered himself: "Maybe it's Cao Ren, maybe Li Jin's headquarters still has the greatest trust and support from Cao Mengde, or maybe both...... But no matter what, Cao Cao in front of him is actually weaker than imagined. Is it a coincidence that he was cautious this time, but he placed Zhou Tai's three battalions in the west? Just as I only stared at Liu Bei's core subordinates when I came up and didn't let go, is it also a coincidence? ”

Jia Xu and Xun You were speechless, and Tian Yu, Pang De, and the scribes and subordinates except Wang Xiang were all talking for a while.

"National concessions." Probably because he saw Tian Yu's determination to wash away the defeat in the war, Gongsun Xun's tone at this time couldn't help but soften slightly. "You go and organize your troops, go to assist in the battle, and when the surrounding departments are scattered, you have to take advantage of the situation to rush to Cao Cao's main formation...... Then he told Cao Mengde for me, saying that this year's harvest was good, so he should not be worried, no matter what, the prisoners of war can still afford to raise. ”

Tian Yu was inexplicable, but he still took the order.

At this point, there is nothing to say, Du Raid Department and Mao Jie Department have been scattered, Mao Jie was seen by Yuwen Black Otter to commit suicide under his banner, Du Raid and Chen Wu lost their traces for a while, they didn't know how to go, and they didn't know whether they took advantage of the chaos to escape, or lost the flag, and they were still fighting on the battlefield, or they were simply dead.

After the two divisions were defeated, Cao Cao's headquarters showed great resilience, gathering the routed troops on the one hand, and blocking the defense on the other, without dispersing at all, but Li Tong's troops were finally unstable after the Yan army concentrated on driving the defeated troops to attack.

So far, there is no doubt that the main force of the Cao army has been defeated like a mountain, and the cavalry generals of the Yan army have also adjusted their preparations, and determined the strategy of first breaking Li Tong to isolate Cao Cao's own formation, and then encircling to build miraculous feats!

But at this time, the mutation was prominent, and the Huang Gai Division, which had surrendered before, finally returned from the north bank of Jishui, and gathered defeated troops along the way, attacking the scattered troops of the Yan army, as if it was converging with the main force of the Cao army...... With such a well-armed, well-defined banner, it may not be called a new force, but it is definitely a major threat, how can the Yan army dare to slack off while being vigilant? Therefore, without Gongsun Xun's instructions, all the ministries turned north one after another, trying to stop Huang Gongfu from rising up first.

And at this time, Tian Yu finally saw the gap to complete Gongsun Xun's instructions...... It's just that under such a scuffle, it is unrealistic to want to convey Gongsun Xun's original words, so Tian Guorang just took advantage of the fact that Cao Cao's headquarters was a little less chaotic, and ordered hundreds of horsemen on his side to call out the word Neihuang towards Cao Cao's banner, and then galloped north to attack Huang Gai.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and an inexplicable shout didn't seem to have any direct effect, because this sentence should have been used when besieging Cao Cao's main formation, not just leaving after shouting now. Therefore, Tian Yu, who was wrapped in half of his face and half of his legs, didn't know that with his shout, Cao Mengde, who had been insisting on command all afternoon, did not waver in the face of the collapse of the whole army, but when Huang Gai appeared in time and got a chance to breathe, and maybe even got the opportunity to escape at night, he suddenly fell into a strange gaffe.

What kind of place is Neihuang, Cao Mengde knows better than anyone else, but this shout made his heart completely cold, and it took half an hour to recover his clarity and continue to hold on.

Guandu's remnants of the sun were like blood, and the soldiers sacrificed their lives to fight, chasing the south and chasing the north, while the Neihuang area of Hebei, which is about 250 miles away in a straight line along Guandu to the north, is a completely different peaceful scene.

At noon, the place is still sunny, so that Le Wenqian can see the sparkling inner Huangze core water area under the sun more than ten miles away, but in the afternoon, it is gradually cloudy and cool, and the experienced old farmer knows in his heart that this is a sign of cold rain and a layer of cold in autumn and winter, but it will take a day or two until it rains, that is, after entering the early winter of October.

Having said that, from a military perspective, such weather seemed to be slightly more favorable to the main force of Sun Ce's Seventh Army, which had already come to the banks of the Qing River outside Neihuang City.

First of all, as soon as it rains, the speed of the march is bound to suffer...... But at that time, Sun Ce and others must have rushed to the city of Yecheng, and even Tongquetai had already occupied the military camp, but the reinforcements that might come from the surrounding area, that is, Yu Ban and Gao Shun, would be greatly delayed and affected even more.

In addition, Sun Ce and others marched so far in a hurry, because the pioneer Lejin did not commit any crimes all the way, and pretended to be the Hebei flag, and did not stop along the way, there was no obvious armed conflict. But that's all, because they are about to cross the Qinghe River and seize Neihuangcheng to take a little respite, which is a necessary transit and rest, otherwise they will not have the strength to attack Yecheng at all...... In other words, from this evening onwards, the danger of exposure will increase considerably, and the rain will undoubtedly provide them with a perfect cover, and will slow down the possible escape of the powerful and powerful.

All in all, this autumn and winter cold rain that may come tomorrow and tomorrow will be slightly beneficial to Sun Ce and other surprise attack troops anyway.

Back in front of you, Neihuang County is the only unavoidable big city between Puyang and Yecheng, because if you go around to the east, there are too many cities and too dense, and if you go west, there is Neihuangze blocking the way. As for the city itself, as the name suggests, it is located on the inner side of Huangze...... It's really the inside.

Huangze with a radius of dozens of miles is a product of the old course of the Yellow River, and after the Yellow River was diverted, due to the injection of dangshui and the flow of the Qing River, it has not the meaning of withering, but has been lying sideways in the southern section of Hebei in the shape of a teardrop. The straight line of the east side of Daze almost from northwest to southeast forms a perfect angle of about 60 degrees with the Qinghe River that flows northeastward, and another tributary of the Qinghe River further north, but it is the two rivers and one Ze that form an unclosed, but sufficiently obvious triangle.

Surrounded by water on three sides, this is naturally a gift from heaven in the agricultural era, so the water conservancy here is developed, the land is abundant, so that it is naturally a county, and the inner Huangcheng is in the middle of this triangle.

There were some clouds in the sky, but there was no complete cover of the sunset, as early as noon to control the ferry, in the afternoon also set up the pontoon bridge of Sun Ce's Seventh Army has four armies have been in danger of the whole army crossed the Qing River, into the triangle surrounded by Daze, the river water, Sun Ce headquarters has also crossed the river for the most part, but Sun Ce himself delayed again, but specifically instructed Li Jin, to ask the latter to cross the river, be sure to destroy the pontoon bridge, in case of possible reinforcements from the forbidden department.

And when the last glimmer of light behind the hidden clouds was about to disappear, the penultimate Cao Hongbu finally crossed the river, and even the Li Jin department behind the palace began to march, and everything seemed to be going well. But at this time, Lejin, who came to Neihuang City in the dark, encountered some unexpected trouble.

They failed to deceive the city.

Under the banner of Hebei, the Lejin Department, pretending to be the battalion soldiers of Cheng Yu's department, was rejected by the city, on the grounds that according to the system, Neihuang did not receive a notice from the battalion and state soldiers and horses to garrison Yecheng, and even if the military affairs were confidential and the military situation was urgent, there was no reason to put so many soldiers and horses into the city to rest.

In addition, outside the city even asked why so many soldiers and horses came from Yingzhou, but instead of crossing the border bridge from the north to Yecheng to Yecheng for maintenance, they came from the southeast?

The officer of the Le Jin Department, who was speechless when asked, turned around to report, but Le Wenqian did not care...... Because the battle in Neihuangcheng was already planned, did you really expect to camouflage all the way to Yecheng, and then scare the magnates of Yexia Yan Kingdom to surrender directly?

"After that, General Huang Hansheng informed him, and asked him to prepare for the response, Wang Sima went around to the North Gate of Neihuang, Han Sima went around to the East Gate of Neihuang, and the West Gate also sent a soldier to ambush in case someone escaped."

Le Wenqian said as he put on his armor, but he directly tied six or seven ring-headed knives to his waist and back, and then led his soldiers forward and calmly commanded. "Headquarters armor, follow me first!"

The surrounding officers took their orders and left, and no one tried to dissuade Le Jin from ascending first as the commander of the army...... Isn't this nonsense? Why did Le Wenqian fall behind the soldiers? Henan and Hebei, who doesn't know?

At dusk, the light was dim, and Le Jin led hundreds of soldiers to the city, but he was not in a hurry to enter the city, but signaled again, asking his officers to continue to try to defraud the city, or delay time, and wait until the sky was completely dark, so that it was convenient to hang the lock.

"Is there a man in the city who can call the shots? Is it to prevent our battalion and state military horses from entering the city, but can a few of our officers be allowed to enter? "A younger officer of the Lejin Department was invited to the front." We waited for days of hard marching, and I really wanted to enter the city to rest for a while. ”

Someone in the city immediately responded solemnly: "According to the law, the officers who lead the troops, even if they are in the territory, must also guard the barracks." ”

The officer of the Lejin Department raised his eyebrows, and immediately became arrogant: "I heard that you are also from Henan, how about it, have you ever heard my Henan accent?" I have to let you know that my surname is Cheng, and Yingzhou Mu Cheng Gong is my uncle! Open the door quickly! ”

The respondent in the city, who clearly spoke with an accent on the south bank of the Yellow River, couldn't help but hesitate, causing Le Jin to bow his head and sneer, but he also suddenly interjected, and threatened the other party in a rough voice: "What, scared, right?" I'm telling you, that's not all! Does the city know who I am?! I am Guo Yuan, the governor of Pingyuan County, Yingzhou...... Have you heard of the name of Yongzhou Mu Zhonggong? That's my uncle! ”

The city was still silent, and after a while, as several braziers were suddenly lit in the city, a standard Central Plains accent immediately sounded angrily in the city: "Le Wenqian, are you so shameless?" I, Guo Yuan, have seen people robbing money and goods in my life, but I have never seen anyone robbing my uncle in front of people! ”

The sunset has disappeared, and under the firelight of the city, Le Jin suddenly raised his head and changed color for a while.

————I'm a dividing line that changes color for a while————

"At the end of the Han Dynasty, Du Zixu Wuchao was defeated, and the army was hastily led into Wuchaoze to avoid, looking at our army's light cavalry like rain, and the armored cavalry was like a forest, and Cao's army was suffering and suffering, and he wanted to die and couldn't, but he looked up to the sky and sighed: 'If you want to hear the crane on the Ying, this life can be restored?!' Then he cut the crown and came out, and put on his hair. —"The World Speaks New Words". Regret
