Chapter 892: The first battle of the first camp
The Jiangdong army repeatedly attacked the city, and a few days later, Cao Shuo led the elite of the four battalions to Anhui City.
Knowing that Cao Shuo was coming, Sun Quan was also a little flustered.
He invited Lu Meng and Zhou Tai to the tent and asked the two of them, "Cao Zirong has come to Wancheng, how should we deal with it?" ”
"It is said that Cao Zirong did not bring many soldiers and horses." Zhou Tai said: "The defenders in the city don't dare to go out of the city to fight, so it's better to send a team of soldiers and horses to break Cao Zirong first......
"How can it be so easy to defeat Cao Zirong." Lu Meng interjected and said, "It is said that what he brought is the Flying Bear, the Dragon Pattern, the Broken Formation, and the First Landing Fourth Battalion. The flying bear and dragon pattern were the first elites he established, and the breaking formation was practiced by Zhang Liao after the defeat of Lu Bu. Needless to say, they were under Yuan Shao's command, and in the Battle of Jieqiao, they repelled Gongsun Zhan's 30,000 elite soldiers with only 800 people. It can be seen that although Cao Zirong galloped to the aid of Anhui City this time, although there were not many people and horses, they were all the elite of the elite, and they were definitely not so easy to deal with. ”
"How can Ziming grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige?" Zhou Tai said: "Although all the elites he brought were there, the number was only one-tenth of that of our army. ”
"How much more than a tenth?" Lu Meng snapped his fingers and said: "There are 300 dragon patterns, 600 flying bears, 1,000 broken formations, 800 first-climbers, and a total of 2,700 warriors. Our army has 15,000 people, and there have been many casualties in the attack on Anhui City in recent days. It's already good to be able to play four against one. ”
"Even so, our army is far outnumbered by them." Zhou Tai said: "If Ziming is afraid of Cao Zirong, I will lead the troops to fight." ”
"Ziming is right." Sun Quan said: "Cao Zirong's elite has made countless achievements, although our army has a numerical advantage, it is far inferior to them in individual combat and battle formation. Forcing an attack may not do any good. ”
"I didn't expect that even Zhongmou was afraid." Zhou Tai said: "Give me 3,000 soldiers and horses, and watch me break Cao Zirong!" ”
"The general still doesn't underestimate the enemy, and he still needs to be careful about dealing with Cao Zirong." Sun Quan said.
"Zhongmou and Ziming were frightened by Cao Zirong's name." Zhou Tai said: "Otherwise, I will lead a team of soldiers and horses first, and take advantage of Cao Zirong's unstable foothold to kill for a while." ”
Zhou Tai said that Sun Quan was a little tempted.
He looked at Lu Meng and asked, "What does Ziming think?" ”
"I think it's still a bit reckless." Lu Meng said hesitantly.
"What's the recklessness?" Zhou Tai said: "It's just Cao Zirong, you two are always hesitant, and when his reinforcements arrive, we really won't necessarily be opponents." ”
"It's good!" Sun Quan nodded heavily, arched his hand to Zhou Tai and said, "Then there is General Lao Zhou." ”
Sun Quan was relieved, and Zhou Tai got up and withdrew from the tent.
At the same time, Cao Shuo also came to the vicinity of Anhui City.
Looking at the bloodstained city wall of Anhui City, Cao Shuo said: "This must have gone through several hard battles, otherwise it would not be like this." ”
"It's not easy to defend the army." Chen Zhi said: "Since we are already here, please give the order of the prince and kill for a while." ”
Several generals looked at Cao Shuo, and everyone expected him to give him the task of the first battle to themselves.
"General Ju." Cao Shuo said to Ju Yi: "Since I joined the camp first, I haven't shown my hand yet, so I will hand over the first battle to you, don't break the spirit of our army." ”
"Don't worry, Childe." Ju Yi clenched his fists and said: "Going to the camp first will definitely not disgrace the son." ”
"Soldiers!" He turned back and shouted to the soldiers of the first camp: "Since we have joined the son, we have not seen an inch, and when we are here today, let us kill the Jiangdong army and turn over on our backs, and show you that the first camp is not in vain!" ”
When the 800 soldiers of the first camp heard Ju Yi's shout, they raised their weapons and shouted.
At this moment, a detachment of soldiers and horses from the Jiangdong Army's large array rushed towards this side.
Seeing the soldiers and horses, Cao Shuo said: "We haven't gone to find them yet, but they came to die first." General Ju, this enemy army is handed over to you and the first camp. ”
"Don't worry, Childe!" Ju Yi responded, and then shouted to the first camp: "Soldiers, kill with me!" ”
The soldiers of the first battalion left the queue and followed Ju Yi to meet the enemy army.
The two groups of men and horses marched forward and stopped when they reached a point where they had shot.
"Longbow array!" Ju Yi pointed his spear forward and roared loudly.
Eight hundred soldiers took out their longbows from their backs and set up arrows to aim at the Jiangdong Army.
Watching the battle from afar, Wei Yan said to Cao Shuo: "General Ju is not too crazy, the distance is so far, the longbow can't shoot the enemy at all." ”
"I have been fighting with him for many years, but he still doesn't understand the characteristics of the soldiers?" The corners of Cao Shuo's mouth pulled up a slight smile, and said to Wei Yan: "We don't have to pay attention to it, just watch him destroy the enemy army." ”
The questions raised by Wei Yan were also shared by Chen Zhi and Gao Shun.
But since Cao Shuo said so, it was not easy for them to say it again.
"Childe, after all, the number of people in the camp is much smaller than the enemy's, do you want me to lead the dragon pattern cavalry to prepare?" Looking at the two soldiers and horses staring at each other in the distance, Chen Zhi said: "If the dragon pattern cavalry detours the rear of the enemy army and kills for a while, it will definitely be able to break the enemy army." ”
"This battle is actually to let the first camp fight." Cao Shuo said: "After they joined me, they didn't have any chance to perform. The morale of the soldiers was also not high, and it would not do the first camp any good if they did not experience a pure victory. Don't meddle and let General Ju and his soldiers solve it themselves. ”
"I always wonder if Childe believes in Juyi a little too much." Wei Yan said: "Although he and Xiandeng Camp are famous, we haven't seen it with our own eyes. In case this battle ......"
"I haven't seen it with my own eyes before, and it's not too late to see it today." Cao Shuo said: "There are many enemy troops, you don't have to rush to fight for merit, today's battle, I just want to see how Ju Yi fights." ”
Ju Yi led the camp to meet the Jiangdong army led by Zhou Tai.
The soldiers who first ascended the camp stretched out their bows and arrows and aimed at the enemy.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Tai also felt a little disdainful in his heart.
The distance between the two sides was still far away, and even if the longbow was fired, the arrow could only reach a place where he was still more than ten paces away.
"The soldiers obeyed the order and moved forward." Zhou Tai waved his sword and gave the order to advance.
Before the Jiangdong Army moved, Ju Yi shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”
Eight hundred first men took up camp and released their bowstrings at the same time, and the arrows whistled towards the enemy.
They were so quick that the first arrow was fired, and the second one left the bowstring.
To everyone's surprise, the arrows shot by the soldiers of the first battalion did not fall in the expected place, but flew into the Jiangdong Army array, knocking over a lot of the advancing Jiangdong Army.
