Chapter 882: Cao Ang's Crisis
Ariga's 20,000 cavalry ran into the heavily armored heavy cavalry, and the consequences were very serious.
Immediately hit the head and broke the blood flow.
The formation was stunned all of a sudden, and I don't know how many people were knocked away, and there was no impact immediately.
And Huang Zhong took the heavy cavalry to castrate, and directly killed it like a sharp knife.
The formation of the Huns was knocked out of a big hole, and this big hole could not be filled, and the Huns were about to be divided into two halves.
In the end, the Xiongnu were separated from the middle and could not form a resultant force.
Huang Zhong rushed in the middle, and the light cavalry on both sides covered the past from both sides, causing huge trouble to the Hun cavalry.
Aliga's scalp was numb, and he didn't expect the result to be so miserable.
The Huns could not resist, and the slaughtered were scattered.
"Kill, kill, kill."
Aliga went crazy, and his good wishes were shattered in an instant at the beginning.
Huang Zhong fought hard, followed by ruthless killing, and there was nothing polite to treat the enemy.
Huang Zhong was indomitable, he only needed to cut through the enemy's formation, and the soldiers behind him would naturally do it when he killed the enemy.
After a fight, although the Huns were fierce, they had nowhere else to run, and they didn't want to have so much room for maneuver on the grassland.
They had to fight with a group of heavy cavalry.
The Huns were unequipped, they only had knives in their hands.
In a small space, they can't maneuver back and forth, they have no advantage at all, and can only fight with the enemy.
But they couldn't fight at all, and the Huns relied on maneuvering to kill people and turn the enemy around on the grassland.
Now they have no advantage, and they suffer very much in the face of the fully armored Han army.
Aliga fought and retreated, wanting to break away, but Huang Zhong was tightly entangled.
After killing for about half an hour, Aliga suffered heavy losses, and at this time the rear cavalry had been killed.
Aliga knew it was over, and it was definitely not their reinforcements.
Sure enough, it was Huang Xu who came, although he was ambushed behind, he didn't dare to follow too closely, the enemy would definitely scout behind.
After the two armies fought, Huang Xu killed him from the rear.
Caught between two sides, this Huang Xu swept away like a tornado.
The enemy can't make any big waves.
After Huang Xu arrived, the result was simple, the two sides attacked, the Huns had no way to retreat, they could only fight hard, and in less than an hour, they were all annihilated.
Once again, the enemy army was completely annihilated, and this time Huang Zhong and their losses were not small, losing thousands of people in total.
There were still battles for the Huns, and in this case thousands of people were killed.
Huang Zhong took the heavy cavalry to rest and let Huang Xu clean up the battlefield.
Although this heavy cavalry is powerful, it cannot fight for a long time, and the burden of men and horses is very heavy.
After the enemy was completely annihilated again in this battle, the 300,000 Xiongnu were left with three roads and 220,000 people.
......
Youzhou Battlefield Drama Zhicai and Huang Zhong are advancing steadily, and in the Qingzhou Battlefield, it is also progressing smoothly.
It is said that on the same day, after Zhang Liao and Tai Shici annihilated Yuan's army.
After dawn, Cao Ang hurriedly left with the army first.
But that night, they received a piece of news that shocked and made them helpless.
That night, Cao Ang camped.
"Report, eldest prince, urgent information."
Cao Ang had just set up camp when they received an urgent message.
"What? A Youzhou soldier and horse attacked the grain transport team, and the grain and grass were destroyed. Cao Ang looked at the information, and his face changed several times.
He never thought that there was still a group of soldiers and horses from Youzhou operating in the rear, and their plans were disrupted all of a sudden.
Without food and grass, the entire army will be plunged into an endless crisis.
Cao Ang didn't dare to make a noise, so he asked Xun You and Jia Xu to come over.
"Two gentlemen, the situation is critical, please consult me."
It is very dangerous, they are already in a very dangerous situation, and in a few days, without the enemy to fight, they may collapse on their own.
After thinking about it, Xun You said: "We can only get food from the enemy, and we can only attack Jizhou." ”
At this time, they were attacking Qingzhou at the junction of Qingzhou and Jizhou, and they would encounter the army of Youzhou, which would inevitably lead to a big battle, and they did not have the confidence that they could win the Youzhou army, because there was still a hidden army.
It was Zhao Yun who attacked them.
Zhao Yun was actually hiding around when Tai Shici attacked Cao Jun's military camp, but he failed to break through Cao's camp that time, and his appearance didn't have much effect.
After Zhao Yun left, he had been looking for Cao Jun's grain team, and after he found it, he wiped out the entire grain team.
In this way, Cao Ang fell into an unprecedented crisis, on the front line, surrounded by enemies, he had no food and grass.
After thinking about it, Jia Xu also said: "Eldest prince, we should set off overnight, this Youzhou may follow soon, waiting for us to run out of food, and then it will hit us." ”
"At this time, we are too vulnerable, the soldiers do not know that the food team has been destroyed, if they do, I am afraid that they will be in danger."
"Okay, let's go." Cao Ang also knew that there could be no delay.
Cao Jun was in pain, he fought in the middle of the night last night, and pulled out the camp after dawn, and just rested at this time, Cao Ang and they were going to prepare to pull out the camp again.
However, when Cao Ang saw the state of the soldiers, they chose to let them rest for half the night and wait until after midnight before leaving the camp.
Jia Xu's concern was correct, and Zhao Yun began to walk back after attacking their grain convoy to track down Cao Jun.
However, Zhao Yun didn't have two days to come back, but he had already sent a letter to Zhang Liao, if Zhang Liao seized the opportunity to entangle, this Cao army was also very dangerous.
After midnight, Cao Ang led his army to the northwest and went to the territory of Jizhou.
Only when they stay away from Qingzhou and Youzhou soldiers and horses can they be safe.
They left in the starry night, and when it was dawn, they arrived at a county seat in Jizhou, occupied the county seat, collected some grain and grass, and relieved the temporary siege.
The temporary danger is gone, but new problems are coming.
The news of Cao Ang's attack on Jizhou immediately spread wildly.
This is a dangerous signal, Yuan Xi panicked, the reinforcements in Xuzhou are gone, and now even the reinforcements in Jizhou may be cut off.
And his troops are insufficient, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold the city.
If you can't defend the city, you may not even have your life in the end.
At this time, Yuan Xi was completely panicked, and the morale of the Yuan army was also frustrated.
This Cao Ang invisibly helped Zhang Liao a lot, although it was not his intention, but it turned out to be a great help.
In addition, Jizhou also acted urgently, and Cao Ang's invasion was regarded by them as Cao's army as a whole to invade Jizhou.
This judgment is not difficult to understand, because the Cao army absorbed a large number of Yuan army's surrendered troops, and its strength increased greatly, and it was completely capable of invading Jizhou.
It's just that they don't know that this Cao army can't fight a big battle at all now, he has run out of grain and grass, and it will take a long time to get enough food and grass again.
A group of soldiers and horses of Yuan's army who wanted to support Qingzhou stopped urgently, did not advance for the time being, and waited for news from Yuan Shao.
