Chapter 1013: Punishing the Generals
Mobile reading
The main advantage of cavalry is speed, and once the speed is reduced, it is a nightmare.
Three spears stabbed at Lu Bu at the same time, and one spear went towards the red rabbit horse, the red rabbit horse was a spiritual horse, but seeing it move to the left, he directly dodged the spear that stabbed at him, and then slammed into the soldier of the Qingzhou army.
Three pikemen were killed on the spot, and one of the pikemen was even more miserable, being directly knocked off by the red rabbit horse.
After Xiahou Yuan, who was not far away, noticed this scene, he was also extremely envious, what the generals were most eager for was to have a divine horse and an excellent blade, and a spiritual divine horse was even more unattainable.
Xiahou Yuan wanted to use his foot soldiers to block the plan of the cavalry of the state army, and under the strong power of Lu Bu, there was a tendency to crack it.
At this moment, Cao Chun led more than 300 tigers and leopards to kill again, and the situation on the battlefield, which was originally extremely unfavorable to Cao's army, changed abruptly.
Lu Bu's face changed slightly after noticing this scene, after defeating the tiger and leopard cavalry on such a battlefield, who would have thought that Cao Chun would be able to gather troops and horses again in such a short period of time.
"Li Yan, you lead two hundred cavalry to block the enemy cavalry, and after Ben Hou defeats the Qingzhou army, then follow Ben Hou to leave." Lu Bu ordered.
Li Yan led two hundred ordinary cavalry, entangled with the tiger and leopard cavalry, and the cavalry of the state army was a little tired after successive battles, and the tiger and leopard cavalry were also a little frightened after the defeat of Fang Cai, and the two sides were inseparable for a while.
Lu Bu gathered the remaining flying horses in one place and launched a fierce charge towards the Qingzhou army, even though the Qingzhou army was not afraid of death, under such a strong charge, it was also constantly retreating to the left and right.
Such a charge is also a huge damage to the cavalry of the Bingzhou Army, especially the spear in the hands of the Qingzhou Army, which has become a deadly existence, and many cavalry have become the souls of the battlefield under the crazy Qingzhou Army.
"Summons Li Yan, retreat!" Lu Bu ordered.
The Bingzhou army receded like a tide, leaving behind a chaotic Cao army, tonight's raid, there were not many Cao soldiers who really died in the hands of the Bingzhou army, the key is that the chaotic camp brought the greatest damage to ordinary soldiers, many soldiers did not die under the Bingzhou army, but were injured by the robe.
Cao Cao heard that the grain and grass were unharmed, and the news of the retreat of the state army, he also breathed a sigh of relief, when fighting against Lu Bu, he always had to tighten his heartstrings, Cao Cao's protection of the camp was already extremely strict, he believed that Yuan Shao and Sun Ce were also like this, especially Yuan Shao, when fighting against Lu Bu, they were basically failures, and their vigilance in this regard would be higher.
"Order the generals of all departments, gather the soldiers, and the main generals in the army go to the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss matters." Cao Cao said.
After receiving the order, many of the generals of the Cao army knew that someone would be unlucky tonight.
After the generals in Cao's army were gathered, Cao Cao said in a solemn tone: "Tonight, the state army raided the camp, resulting in heavy casualties in our army, and the blame is mainly on the generals of the night patrol, who is responsible for the secret post arranged by our army outside the camp?" ”
Xiahou Lin stood up with a ashamed face, he was responsible for the matter of the secret whistle, and now that such a thing happened, he had an unshirkable responsibility.
"You are in charge of the secret post outside the camp, why did most of the state army come, but you didn't find out, do you have anything to say?"
Xiahou Lin lowered his head, "The last general has nothing to say, and he is willing to be punished." ”
"Come on, pull Xiahou Lin out and behead the public." Cao Cao said coldly.
Xiahou Lin's expression was slightly stunned, and his gaze at Cao Cao was a little undoubted, since Cao Cao started the army, the Xiahou family has played a lot of roles in it, and he is also a member of the Xiahou family, but he didn't expect that because of the trivial matter of scouting, Cao Cao would actually put him to death.
Xiahoudun stepped forward and said: "Lord, this time the state army sneak attacked our army camp, and the scouts outside the camp did not find out the situation, maybe there are some reasons, and I hope that the lord will make a conclusion after he has made a clear observation." ”
Seeing this, the rest of the generals pleaded one after another, and the Xiahou family had a very heavy weight in the Cao army.
Cao Chun said: "I was ordered to investigate the situation in the camp, and I happened to rush to the gate of the village where the accident occurred, and the state army attacked the camp this time, but I came prepared, and the soldiers above the camp did not even have time to give an early warning, and they were already dead. ”
Cao Cao's face changed slightly, in this way, it was not that there was a problem with the secret post outside the camp, but that the Bingzhou army that attacked the camp this time was too elite, and Cao Cao had no doubt about the ability of the Bingzhou army to grasp intelligence on the battlefield.
"No matter what, this defeat, the night patrol general has an unshirkable responsibility, come here, pull Cao Chun and Xiahou Lin out, and hit the thirty boards." Cao Cao said.
This time, no matter how the generals pleaded, Cao Cao did not let go, this chaos in the camp, if some people were not punished, it would be difficult to convince the people, if it made the army feel uneasy, it would be worth the loss.
After everyone dispersed, Xun You said in a low voice: "Lord, judging from the situation from the Jiangdong Army and the Jizhou Army, the losses of the two sides are even heavier. ”
Cao Cao sighed: "Ben Hou also never thought that Feng Xian would dare to attack the camp of the three parties at the same time. ”
"Lord, according to the speculation of his subordinates, the reason why the Bingzhou army is so crazy this time is expected to be because of the war in Bingzhou, and General Xu Chu led 3,000 cavalry in Bingzhou must have played a relatively big threat." Xun You said: "Lu Bu treats the people very leniently, and when he learns that the people under his rule have been harmed, how can he not behave beyond common sense. ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he was happy in his heart, only after finding a person's weakness, can he defeat it more easily, to put it nicely, Lu Bu called loving the people like a son, to a certain extent, he does have the benevolence of a woman, such a monarch must be good for the people, but he is not a qualified prince.
Yuan Shao and Sun Ce had already learned about each other's situation, and it was not until dawn that they completely settled down the camp, and through last night's battle, they also saw their own shortcomings clearly, especially when the soldiers were extremely chaotic in the face of emergencies.
Although there were night patrol soldiers who did not discover the enemy in advance, it still made Sun Ce more vigilant, only war can make an army more elite and show more powerful combat effectiveness.
The death and injury of the lieutenant colonel and the leader of the army made Sun Ce feel shocked and angry, and at the same time found the root of why the army was so chaotic.
