Chapter 1101: Disobedience
Liu Yi's personal campaign has created a great momentum, and its purpose is to cause huge pressure on Cao Jun and Sun Cejun in Jingxiang, as far as today's little overlord is concerned, it does have a certain effect, he is a person who has seen Liu Yi's strength and ability with his own eyes, and he knows how much morale he will boost to the Han army! It may be too much to say that the Han army has Liu Yi in and Liu Yi is in the two armies, but no one dares to question the improvement of combat morale. Cao Cao will never deny this, but on the battlefield, his confidence will not be shaken by this, even if Liu Yi is about to come to Jingxiang, he will not launch a counterattack in advance just for this, and in the confrontation, it is who has more patience.
But now his perseverance has been shattered by the news of the loss of Jia Meng Pass, and the battle situation between the two places is like a balance controlling the situation on the battlefield, and when one side is opened, the situation will tilt towards one side. At this time, in addition to the 30,000 soldiers of Xun Yu Town guarding the Sword Pavilion and the more than 20,000 people who Cao Hong defeated and retreated here, the Cao army in Shu was no more than 50,000, and many of them were newly recruited soldiers.
If there is regret about taking the medicine, Cao Cao will secretly solve Liu Zhang even if he risks the disapproval of the world, instead of sending him to Nanjun for settlement, and after this person is rescued by the Han army, he will become a killer weapon to deal with Shuzhong! Especially after he forcibly recruited soldiers, it is conceivable that if the Sword Pavilion loses the Shu land again, those cities are afraid that they will be responded to by Liu Zhang, and Liu Yi's kung fu to build momentum due to the situation has always been first-class! The Sword Pavilion is a natural danger, and Xun Yu is also Cao Cao's most trusted advisor, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, such a morale and strength comparison and the experience of Jia Mengguan He can hardly report enough confidence in this Xiongguan, but at this time in Jingxiang, he can't save the fire from far water.
In the past, no matter how severe the battlefield situation was, Cao Cao could figure out how to deal with it, but today, after that desperate mood rose, it was followed by confusion, and only the two counties of Jiangling and Xiangyang were left in Jingxiang, how successful can a counterattack be at this time? The fall of Jia Mengguan will definitely be seized by Liu Yi to publicize it, she will definitely not let go of this opportunity, maybe Sun Ce, who was already a little hesitant, will hesitate after hearing the news, can the two armies of Cao and Sun reach an agreement on tactical coordination? At this time, the question mark on this issue is also getting bigger and bigger.
The lights in Cao Cao's wing room in the Xiangyang City Governor Mansion were not extinguished all night, but he was alone in it and thought hard all night, and even Cheng Yu, Sima Yi and other advisers were not summoned, and the current crisis was not something that could be saved by one or two clever plans. When a cadre of subordinates came to visit the lord the next day, he was shocked to find that Cao Cao's black hair was already gray, especially the temples looked much older like dyed snow.
Wu Zixu's white head is because he can't pass the pass, but there is no doubt that he still has a way out, the situation facing Cao Cao at this time is more sinister than before, and this battle of Jingxiang has become a real decisive battle, once Cao Jun loses this battle, they will lose the whole world! Even if Xun Yu, Cao Hong and the others could protect the Sword Pavilion from loss in front of Zhang Hu's army, how long could Cao Cao, who had lost all the elites, support it before Liu Yi's uninterrupted offensive? No one dared to give an answer to this.
Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, Sima Yi, Xun You, Yu Ban, Cao Ren, even at this time, Cao Ying was still a gathering of heroes, and they could gather everyone's wisdom and discuss for a long time, and they couldn't find a way to immediately get out of the crisis when Jia Meng Pass was lost. The Han army must have gotten the information on the battle situation in Shuzhong before the Cao army, Tai Shici's Beiping army and Xu Huang's Longxiang army stopped the blind onslaught on Jiangling and Xiangyang, which should be monitored and waited, it is obvious that Zhao Yun, Guo Jiajia, Jia Xu and others are waiting for Shuzhong to open the gap first, and change Jingxiang's offensive to a defensive position, except for the fierce fighting that is still going on in the Yong'an official road, the last two counties of Jingzhou and Jiangbei have fallen into silence.
The suspension of the offensive is not good for the Han army only in terms of the Jingxiang battlefield, which to some extent means that they will give up many of the advantages they have achieved at great cost before, if there is no change in the battle situation in Shu, the Cao army will definitely be happy to see it, and Cao Cao, who is not suspicious, will also carefully consider whether Zhao Yun and others are planning any conspiracy, which can be regarded as a rather low-level mistake! The magic that can be used is in one mind, and this seemingly low-level mistake is considered in the overall situation of the world, but it becomes a clever move, which will completely disintegrate the possibility of Cao Jun to fight back!
Cao Cao and others also have to admit that this method is the best strategy for the Han army at the moment, and they will no longer have reinforcements The Flame Army and the men led by Liu Yi are still strengthening the strength of the Han army in Jingxiang! What worries them even more is that since Zhao Yun and the others dare to do this, they have full confidence in the offensive of Zhang Hu in Hanzhong, and their comrades will definitely be able to go down to the Sword Pavilion again!
If this is the case, the fall of Shuzhong will only be a matter of time, with Liu Jiyu, the biggest bargaining chip in hand, it will not take Liu Yi too much effort to calm the people's hearts, and then with strong administrative capabilities and sufficient materials, the Han army with less worries can be non-stop against Jing Xiang, and at that time, no one will have the possibility of reversing the defeat!
The military situation is urgent, the situation is critical, and if it is held for a long time, it will be self-defeating, and if you want to fight back, with the Han army's initiative to shrink the defense, you can't find a suitable breakthrough, what can be more frustrating than this? After thinking about it for a long time, it was decided to increase troops to the official road of Yong'an first, even if the defense of Xiangyang City was weakened, after all, the location of this place was still in the hands of Cao Jun, if it could annihilate Gao Shun's deep lone army, it would also have a beneficial impact on the battle situation, and now Cao Cao and everyone don't care, and if they don't take the risk, I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity in the future!
As the battle progressed, the Han army undoubtedly had mastered the initiative of this decisive battle, and their only weakness was in Gao Shun's lone army, and this weakness was also caused by the Han army on its own initiative with the development of the war. Originally, the elite onslaught led by Tai Shi Ci and Xu Huang's two generals to attack Jiangling and Xiangyang would greatly contain the strength of Cao's army and indirectly ensure the safety of Gao Shun, but now, for the sake of the overall situation, if the offensive is slightly slowed down, the situation of the Han army behind the enemy will be more difficult, but the military is like this, when necessary, for the sake of victory, you must give up! Of course, in the hearts of Zhao Yun and others, abandoning the friendly army is the last choice, and it is not easy for Cao Jun to take down Gao Shun at present!
On the night after Fan Chou and the Zhou battalion rushed to reinforce that day, Pei Yuanshao immediately organized the White Tiger Battalion to launch a night attack on the tiger and leopard cavalry, which Xiahou Yuan had already taken precautions for, the former's surprise attack did not achieve the purpose of consuming the enemy, but the retreat of the tiger and leopard cavalry left more space for the Han army here after all. After the evil came to Dian Wei, the tiger idiot Xu Chu also joined the battle of Yong'an Guandao, but he did not meet the opponent like Dian Wei, and the Han army was forced to use the lives of soldiers to pile up, indeed whether it was Gao Shun's Liaodong Army or Pei Yuanshao's White Tiger Battalion, including Fan Chou's Bingzhou Battalion, there was no defeat for Xu Zhongkang's generals, but don't forget that Liu Xin, the king of Lu who joined Jingxiang, had enough ability.
The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, as the commander of an army will ensure the overall strategic situation of his own side must have excellent adaptability, Liu Xin's performance is extremely outstanding, he did not choose the same reinforcement route as Fan Chou, the Cao army will definitely strengthen its defense, although the iron cavalry is strong, but the cavalry is not conducive to attacking the fortification, so after receiving the general order of the third uncle, he immediately divided the men and horses in his hands into two teams, hundreds of iron horses and war horses are responsible for attracting the attention of the frontal Cao army, In addition, more than 1,000 people abandoned their war horses and walked the trail of Gaoshun to attack, over the mountains and mountains, to the battlefield! The best horse and land battles are the biggest feature of the personal guard iron cavalry, and Liu Xin will also give full play to it this time!
The second prince led the army to come not only to block Xiahou Yuan Xu Chu's offensive just right, but also to the soldiers who had been fighting here for many days, it was a great encouragement, not sure how could the Son of Heaven let King Lu take risks? Presumably, the current battle situation is extremely favorable to your side! But what they don't know is that Liu Xin came this time but there is still a disobedience, the fast horse sent by Zhao Yun failed to stop Liu Xin's footsteps, and he even directly sent someone to block it out of the military formation, this is Liu Xin's own judgment based on the battle situation, in terms of name, he is still above the generals but is not a vital figure in the army, since he can make the morale of the soldiers soar without affecting the overall situation, even if he risks his life, what is there to fear? Liu Jiaerlang should naturally take responsibility at a critical juncture!
After a series of war experiences, Liu Xin at this time is completely mature, and especially with Guan Yu after the battle in Xu Nan, and then explained by his father, his martial arts are also greatly improved, if it is said that Guan Yu was at a disadvantage at that time, his real strength is slightly inferior, this time in Yong'an official road and the tiger idiot Xu Chu's equal duel is completely based on his own true talent, Xu Zhongkang tried his best to take advantage of Liu Xin!
Watching the second prince wielding the dragon halberd and fighting with Xu Hu, the eyes of the soldiers were full of excitement and worship, the sharpest arrow of the Cao army's attack was completely blocked, many times in the past it was their general who could do this, and now the general is the son of heaven and is the successor, the second son's ghost and god courage is not much better than the general back then, and the father and son are both ordinary soldiers like sons, willing to live and die with them, such a commander is definitely worthy of their death!
