Chapter 231: Pit Cargo Guo Jia?

This cavalry came from the front line of Bingzhou, and it was Lu Bu who flew pigeons to Xu Huang when Guo Jia and them were going upstream, and Cao Xing's Fifth Cavalry Division was forcibly transferred from Xu Huang's hands.

Xu Huang very much disagreed with Lu Bu's transfer, and the battle plan he had carefully prepared to face the Xianbei coalition army had already been deployed.

Although the Fifth Cavalry Division was not the main attacker, it was still an important combat force.

Being transferred away by Lu Bu will have a great impact on the final outcome of the entire battle against the Xianbei people.

Although Xu Huang was confident that even without the Fifth Cavalry Division, he would still be victorious, but his attempt to severely damage or even completely annihilate the Xianbei army would be greatly reduced.

Lu Bu believes that eliminating more Xianbei people and less will not affect the overall situation.

However, if Guo Jia and others can be encircled and annihilated, the Kwantung coalition army will have a huge impact on the Kwantung princes, and even directly affect the battle situation in Tiger Pass.

In the end, Xu Huang still obeyed Lu Bu's arrangement and sent Cao Xing's Fifth Cavalry Division to Changshan as early as possible.

Lu Bu expected that after they lost the water battle, they would go ashore and return to Jizhou by land, so the nearest shortcut was Chaoge.

Therefore, Lu Bu asked the Fifth Cavalry Division to wait for the rabbit in Chaoge, and sure enough, Guo Jia and others came.

The cavalry of the Central Army, which was waiting for work, not only had an advantage in physical strength, but was twice as numerous as the Kwantung Coalition Army, and the personal quality of the cavalry was far superior to that of the Kwantung cavalry.

The cavalry of the Central Army is the master who fights on the grassland every day and fights with the Xianbei people to the death, unlike the cavalry of the Kwantung Coalition Army, who are all junior brothers who have no actual combat experience.

The cavalry of the three brigades surrounded the Kwantung cavalry, except for the first battalion and the crossbow of the Cao army, they could resist for a while, and the others were only able to attack from a distance.

Cao Xing had already received Lu Bu's instructions that Guo Jia must be captured alive, and if he can't catch him alive, he must also see the corpse.

So the cavalry of the Central Army attacked while shouting, "Capture Guo Jia alive!" Capture Guo Jia alive! ”

Guo Jia, under the protection of Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren, broke through to the east, and Lu Yi and Gao Lan also remembered Yuan Shao's orders and led the Jizhou army to surround Guo Jia.

Guo Jia said to Cao Ren: "General Zixiao, you lead a thousand cavalry of our army to break through to the north, beat my military flag, attract the attention of the enemy, and create an opportunity for the brothers of the Jizhou army to break through, and you yourself must also pay attention to safety." ”

Cao Ren shouted the order and was about to set off, but was stopped by Koji Yi on the side.

"Mr. Fengxiao, we have more soldiers and horses in Jizhou than brothers in the Yanzhou army, so let's leave the matter of attracting the enemy to my first camp!"

"General Gao Lan, please also lead the army to protect Mr. Fengxiao and the brothers of the Yanzhou army to break through the siege. The coalition can do without me, but it can't do without Mr. Bonghyo. ”

After that, Ko Yi snatched the "Guo" military flag behind Guo Jia, led the lead to the camp to the north, and the rest of the people escorted Guo Jia to break through to the east.

Koji Yi took the lead in the camp and broke through to the north under Guo Jia's military flag, which naturally attracted Cao Xing's attention.

Lu Bu explained clearly, it is necessary to catch or kill this Guo Jia, and the others are not important.

So from the very beginning, Cao Xing carried the "Guo" military flag in the Kwantung Coalition Army, and saw a group of cavalry fleeing north, and it was that military flag that he was waving.

The Central Army had the smallest number in the north, mainly defending the direction of Jizhou in the east!

Seeing that the Kwantung Army was breaking through to the weakest point, Cao Xuan hurriedly mobilized the men and horses around him to chase to the north, and most of the cavalry of the Fifth Cavalry Division followed Cao Xuan to the north.

On the contrary, the defense in the east was relaxed, and the generals Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Gao Lan broke through the defense of the Central Army again, since Guo Jia was not among these people, how could the cavalry of the Central Army be willing to play with them?

So in the end, the Kwantung coalition army, with less than 3,000 cavalry, successfully broke through the interception and fled back to Jizhou from the east, and Guo Jia was mixed in with this deserter.

And Cao Xing, who was bent on chasing Guo Jia's military banner, finally surrounded the Kwantung United Army, which had less than 2,000 people left.

The Central Army shouted one after another to persuade the soldiers of the Xiandeng Battalion who had been surrounded to surrender, but they were categorically refused.

"If you go to the camp first and fight invincible, how can there be people who are greedy for life and afraid of death? If you don't accept the battle, you will never surrender! ”

Cao Xing is also a person who is used to seeing life and death, how can he be soft at such a critical juncture?

Since you refuse to surrender, then go to death, anyway, the lord said, you can't capture them alive, even the dead, you don't have to fight in close combat, cover them with crossbows and throwing guns!

The crossbows of the first battalion had already shot out of crossbow arrows, and they wanted to desperately rush up to engage the enemy in close combat, but the Central Army did not give them a chance.

In the end, there was no suspense in annihilating the first camp, but what is admirable is that from the top to the Yiyi, down to the ordinary soldiers, until the moment when the whole army was annihilated, no one wanted to surrender, and all of them were killed!

Only at this time, Cao Xing knew that he was only surrounding the first camp of the Jizhou army, and Guo Jia had already mixed in with the remnants of the other army and successfully broke through.

In the end, Guo Jia, Gao Lan, Cao Ren, and Xiahou Yuan took 3,000 cavalry and returned to the camp of the Tiger Prison Army.

Of course, Cao Cao was glad that Guo Jia, Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan were safe and sound, and returned safely, losing thousands of cavalry, but he didn't care very much.

Yuan Shao didn't think so, his own naval army was completely annihilated, the first camp was annihilated, and the number one general Lu Yi was killed, where is this to fight Lu Bu, isn't this clearly cheating him Yuan Shao?

From this point on, Yuan Shao no longer had the slightest trust and affection for Cao Cao and Guo Jia, and began to preserve his strength.

The Central Army was equipped with trebuchets, and Guo Jia naturally told Cao Cao, who did not tell the other princes for some ulterior purpose.

The same is true for Yuan Shao, Gao Ran naturally reported to him all the experience, but he didn't inform anyone else, the Central Army also has trebuchets, and the performance is better!

When the fourth round of siege attrition was over, the siege weapons such as thunderbolts and wells built by Liu Ye and Tian Feng were finally completed, and the ladders, ladder cars, and rushing cars were also completed.

Chen Gong also presented a siege magic weapon, the trench filling car, which is a flat-topped wooden box-shaped, two feet high, with four wheels underneath, which can be pushed directly into the moat or moat.

The trench filling vehicles can be connected from end to end, and one by one they can push the moat, and soon fill in a passage, mainly because it can bear loads, rush vehicles, and ladder trucks can pass through it.

This time, the princes of all walks of life consulted and decided to launch a general attack, each with all his forces.

At the same time, they launched an attack on the 20-mile-long Tiger Prison Guandong City Wall, and they built a total of 40 wells, 40 ladder cars, 200 ladders, 100 thunderbolt cars, and 30 rushing cars.

This siege force was unprecedentedly powerful in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao said to everyone that he was to finish his work in one battle, fight to the death with the central army, and catch up with the victory and defeat in the battle of the grassland.
