Chapter Ninety-Six: Digging Your Own Grave
Guandu, outside Cao Jun Village
Gao Ran led the army to come, wanting to attack the old city by the Cao army, and when the army had not yet returned, he broke Cao Zhai.
"Yuan Jun is here! Attention everyone! Hold on! The commander of the city shouted.
Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong looked at the army from the city, and Xiahou Yuan said: "Yuan Shao seems to have sent most of the troops in the village here. ”
Cao Hong said: "Then the village must be empty, and now that the Yuan army knows that the land where the grain is stored has been destroyed, the army must be shaken and tell the military advisor that the time has come." ”
Cao Jun's account
Guo Jia learned of the situation outside at this time, and his face showed joy, "Okay! Finally, when this time comes, our army can deliver the final blow to the enemy! ”
Cao Cao said to Xiahoudun: "Yuan Rang, I'll hand it over to you!" ”
Xiahoudun received the order, and then led the elite soldiers in the village to dispatch as planned.
Yuan's army attacked the wall, but Cao's army could not defend it.
"Ladder truck! Cloud Echelon! Advance! Gao Ran ordered.
Yuan Jun surged, erected ladders on the wall, and climbed up one by one. Cao Bing pushed the ladder down, but was blocked by the archers below. "Hold on! Don't let them come up! ”
Before the ladder car approached the wall, the ladder climbed on the wall frame, and Yuan Jun climbed on the car.
"Catapult support! Fast! Cao Bing shouted.
Gao Ran commanded below, "Rush up together, don't stop the offensive." ”
Yuan Jun Zhai
Most of the Yuan soldiers were sent to attack Cao Village, and a small part went to support the old city, and there was still a part of the army left to defend the village.
"Have you heard? The grain fields have been destroyed! ”
"I know, if General Gao Ran can't attack again, this battle won't be able to continue, and he may have to go back to Jizhou."
At this time, Yuan Bing in the village discussed the current situation one by one, and the army was in decline.
However, it was said that Xiahoudun led the army to fight, according to Guo Jia's plan. "This is it, according to the calculations of the military advisor, it should be correct!"
"Dig it for me!"
A Yuan soldier inspected the situation nearby, and suddenly saw a black spot in front of him, and ran forward to look at it, only to see more and more, and suddenly his face turned pale, "No...... Oh no! Cao Jun is here! "Immediately run to the village.
Xiahoudun led his troops out of the ground.
"Finally seeing the light of day!" Xiahoudun looked at Yuan Zhai not far ahead, and said, "Follow me!" ”
Before the trial, Yuan Shao asked him to dig a tunnel to attack Cao Zhai, but he was surrounded by Cao Jun's danger, and Yuan Jun's plan to dig up the army failed, and then he gave up. Cao Jun had few soldiers and couldn't do such a strategy as digging a road, but Yuan Jun could, so Cao Jun borrowed the way that Yuan Jun dug and sent the attacking soldiers all the way forward, Guo Jia calculated a relatively safe location through the map and the previous spies. Let Xiahoudun lead an army to go, dig from that place, and go straight to Yuan's army.
Now that the Yuan army is exhausted, and the army in the village is scattered, it is the best time.
Guo Jiayan: "The way that Yuan Jun dug happened to be their grave. ”
Xiahoudun led the elite soldiers to attack the Yuan army's village, the Yuan army was not there at this time, the incident happened suddenly, it was difficult to meet the enemy for a while, Xiahoudun: "An army goes to the west, an army comes with me!" "Rush and kill all the way.
Yuan Shaoyu suddenly learned that Cao's army had attacked outside the village, and he was very panicked, "How can this be!" In a hurry, he gathered the people to discuss how to meet the enemy.
Feng Jiyan: "General Gao Ran is attacking Cao Village, now the soldiers in the village are limited, the army is Xiahou Dun, our army may be difficult to deal with, the lord is still better to flee and prepare." ”
Guo Tuyan: "What I said is very true, I am waiting here, it is not easy to stay for a long time, it is better to abandon the village and go, it is a safe policy!" ”
At this time, there was the sound of the two armies killing each other outside the village, and Xiahoudun had already led the troops to the gate of the village. "Brothers, follow me and capture Yuan Shao!" Xiahoudun shouted, the soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy one by one, and the soldiers of the Yuan army were not opponents at all.
Yuan Shao saw the crisis at the moment, and couldn't take care of it, "I'll abandon the village, order to go down, and evacuate here!" ”
Yuan Shao drove his horse and led the army with his ministers to begin to withdraw from the south gate, and asked people to let him drive and flee from behind.
Yuan Jun had already been ordered to flee from this village, one by one he had no will to fight, and he had no intention of stopping Cao Jun at all, so he wanted to escape from here quickly, so Cao Jun was even more unstoppable, Yuan Jun was even more panicked, and the situation became more and more intense.
Xiahoudun thus successfully entered the village, "Don't let Yuan Shao escape, pay attention to their movements!" ”
Guandu outside Cao Village
Gao Ran reported that Cao's army had attacked the village, and was shocked, "Withdraw the army!" Withdrawal! Then he withdrew his troops and rushed back to support.
When Xun You saw Yuan's army retreating, he knew that Xiahoudun and others had attacked the village, "Our army can attack." ”
Cao Cao led the army to lead the generals into battle and pursued them.
Xiahoudun broke through Yuan Zhai, burned down the place, and chased Yuan Junjun closely, at this time Yuan Shao and others were the weakest opportunity, if they did not pursue, there would be no chance. "Don't stay here, follow me to chase and kill Yuan Shao!"
The soldiers shouted and pursued together. Yuan Shaojun fled all the way, and he had no intention of caring about anything else. I'm going to go to another village first.
At this time, another army of Cao's army came, it was the army of Shi Yue and Zhang Liao and others, Shi Yue learned of Guo Jia's plan, if Yuan Shao was really defeated and fled, he would definitely go to another village to hide. So they have always followed the path that the other party must go. Sure enough, the scouts in front of him returned. Yuan Jun rushed all the way to this road.
"Yuan Shao came to die!" Xu Chu shouted and led the troops to rush.
Yuan Shaojun fled all the way, and suddenly saw an army in front of him, and he never expected it to be Cao's army.
Yuan Shao: "I'll wait to flee the other way, don't fight!" ”
Yuan's army turned the road and fled, not daring to fight, after all, there were still Xiahoudun leading troops to chase after him in the rear, and Xu Chu, Zhang Liao and others led their troops to rush and kill, cutting off Yuan's army's army line.
Shi Yue paid attention to the situation at this time, Yuan Jun was divided into two roads, and in front were Yuan Shao and others, "Yuan Shao is in front, Zhongkang, Wenyuan!" As he spoke, he noticed a car behind him. Is that! ”
Xu Chu and the others pursued all the way, and Yuan Shao panicked, "Could it be that it will be lost here today." ”
At this time, a Yuan army appeared in front of him and came to the rescue. Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he saw it, this is vitality.
The people who led the army were Yuan Xi and his generals Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan, they met the defeated army led by Zhang He on the road, and they chased this army all the way, just to report, the front was the desertion army of Xu Chu and others, and immediately chased them, but they didn't expect to encounter Yuan Shao's defeated army.
Yuan Xi rushed to Yuan Shao's side, "Father!" How so? ”
Yuan Shao was sad and happy, "Go back and talk ......"
Jiao Yan said: "Stop them, don't let them get close!" Protect the Lord! The soldiers who came rushed to kill in front, and the Yuan army blocked Xu Chu and other troops with death.
Xu Chu saw that Yuan Jun had come to this point, and the enemy army had many soldiers, and he couldn't finish killing them, so he didn't dwell on it anymore and began to evacuate.
Yuan Shao's desertion was divided by Xu Chu and others, and Yuan Shao fled on one side and met Yuan Xi and other soldiers. Another side was killed by Cao Chun's soldiers and horses, and no one was left.
"Ahh Cao Chun assassinated a soldier with one shot, and when he looked around, he had almost killed at this time.
Only one car was told not to approach or be injured. It wasn't until Yuan Bing was killed that Shi Yue drove his horse in front of the car, "Farewell to Jizhou, long time no see." ”
Frustrated with a wry smile, "Heaven died to me." ”
