Chapter 36: The Battle of Chosha (1)

In early summer, the sun is like fire, if in the later generations, it is all kinds of miniskirts and hot pants that dominate the streets and alleys, and all kinds of beautiful legs and small thick legs have become the topic of conversation among otaku. At this moment, Liu Chang can only use cold water to cool off. I don't know how, I was a fat man in my previous life, and after crossing over, I am still fat paper.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Liu Chang, who was soaking in the cold water, suddenly heard a knock on the door, and asked impatiently, "Who?" ”

"Big brother, it's me, bite the gold." There was a response from outside the door.

When Liu Chang heard that it was Cheng Biting Jin, he immediately stood up from the bathtub, found a piece of cloth and wiped it randomly, and then hurriedly opened the door after finding the one that should be blocked.

When Cheng Yanjin saw Liu Chang's appearance, he was a little embarrassed and said, "It turns out that my brother is taking a bath!" ”

Liu Chang shook his head and said helplessly: "Hey, this summer, my brother will sweat a lot!" As he spoke, he invited Cheng Yanjin into the house, then stretched out his head to look out of the door, and after making sure that there was no one, he locked the door.

"How's it going?" After closing the door, Liu Chang asked with a gloomy face.

Cheng Yanjin chuckled in his heart, although he had seen this Liu Chang like this many times, he still couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and after calming down a little, he said expressionlessly: "Big brother, your treasures are really amazing." Zhang let that sissy see it, and she really smiled. I heard from Zhang Rang that my brother had been appointed by the emperor as the commander of the horse and the captain of the military academy under the West Garden. It is said that the emperor took the medicine and fought directly all night! In addition, as the elder brother said, the leader of the imperial court reinforcements this time is Cao Cao, who is said to have been named the captain of the cavalry and the captain of the Xiyuan Dian Military Academy, and the reinforcements are estimated to arrive tomorrow. ”

This time, it was Liu Chang himself who was shocked, and he thought in his heart that he had exceeded his expectations. According to the official history, the West Garden Guard will be established in four years, that is, in the fifth year of Zhongping, but now for some reason it has been advanced by four years. And what's even more puzzling is that he actually became a military captain under the West Garden, which is not a low status! and the title of captain of the horse made Liu Chang unable to complain. Although I know that the time when the concubine really replaced the emperor's son-in-law and became synonymous with the princess's husband was after the Western Jin Dynasty, at present, this concubine is just an official position worth two thousand stones. But listening, it's quite joyful. For the treasures that Cheng Yanjin said, they were actually obtained by Li Cunxiao and Li Siye some time ago. Since Li Cunxiao belongs to the growth period, if there is an abnormality during this period, there will also be an explosion, which includes the growth law of transcending a certain attribute of the ontology itself or breaking through its own shackles to reach another realm. As a result, there were three explosions, and the three lottos were respectively obtained the prescriptions of Yinxu Ding, Changxin Palace Lamp and a pair of musk snow lotus aphrodisiac soup. I didn't expect three treasures to be so powerful, I was really overjoyed!

Liu Chang came back to his senses, looked at Cheng Yanjin, and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

As soon as Cheng Yanjin heard this, he brought together what he had seen and heard in the past few days and the information that his subordinates had heard. Of course, he didn't forget to talk about the scene after he saw Zhang Rang every time.

After hearing this, Liu Chang couldn't help laughing. After a few words of comfort, he sent Cheng Biting Jin and left. And Liu Chang also began to analyze this information layer by layer.

The day passed quickly, and before dawn, Liu Chang got up in a hurry, came to the wall, and looked up at the white sky like a fish's belly. At this time, he was very nervous and excited. Because he knew that the day Cao Cao's reinforcements arrived was when the official army broke the yellow turban in Changshe. Expectation, hatred, **, are entangled in his heart at the moment. A great war that changed the fate of the Han Dynasty and the direction of human history is coming. In the past, he was only a spectator in the books to experience the fire, the iron hooves, and the mournful wails, but now he is about to become a participant in this unprecedented battle, and even a guide.

"Big brother, all the brothers are waiting for you in the council hall!" Dian Wei, who was guarding the side, suddenly received a report from the herald, so he approached to warn him.

When Liu Chang heard this, he straightened his clothes, tightened the sword on his waist, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!" ”

Under the wall, into the meeting hall, at this moment, Liu Chang's martial arts have all gathered together. Now Wu has a wife and brother Li Cunxiao, who leads his Li family's eighteen horsemen; Qin Qiong, the second brother of Jieyi, is the commander-in-chief of Liu Changjun, and he is responsible for the dispatch and training of the whole army; The third brother of the righteous Li Siye, the commander of the Modao team, has a small number but strong combat power, and he can overcome all the horses; Dian Wei, the fourth brother of Jieyi, the commander of the guards, is responsible for guarding Liu Chang's personal safety; The fifth brother of Yiyi, Cheng Yanjin, is now the head of intelligence of the whole army and one of the heads of the spy agency secretly established by Liu Chang; The sixth brother of Yiyi, Li Siyuan, the commander of the cavalry, is responsible for cavalry training and command; Jianghu Ranger, Qin Hao, is now the deputy commander of the guard. In addition, Li Bing, the brother of the Li family, and Liu Asi, the former subordinate of the Liu Mansion, are now arranged to follow the old housekeepers of the Liu Mansion, Liu Fu and Cheng Yanjin, to form a spy station. In terms of literary affairs, except for Liu Wei, the son of the old housekeeper Liu Fu, whose ability is still outstanding, the others can only be step-by-step masters.

When everyone saw Liu Chang appear, they all got up and signaled. Liu Chang returned the salute and walked towards the main seat. After sitting down, Liu Chang spoke: "Everyone, according to reliable information, the reinforcements from Luoyang will arrive today. ”

As soon as these words came out, someone shouted: "Big brother, since the reinforcements are coming, how should we arrange them?" ”

The person who spoke was Li Siyuan, who rarely spoke, and Liu Chang smiled slightly when he saw it: "Hehe, it seems that Siyuan is working very hard today!" I also know to ask about the battle strategy! ”

"Hahaha......" everyone laughed with satisfaction.

After the laughter, Liu Chang spread out the prepared map and talked about his own arrangements.

First of all, it is to wait for reinforcements. After the reinforcements arrived, they would harass the Yellow Turban thieves in a small area, and then take this opportunity to select a brave general to break through the Yellow Turban defense line and send a set of strategies formulated by Liu Chang into Changshe City. After that, the whole army went out to the ambush point, and waited for the strategy to be implemented, and then the army would collect the heads.

After some discussion, the task of delivering the letter was given to Li Cunxiao, and he led the 18 cavalry to break through the defense line to deliver the letter. In fact, according to the ability of Li Cunxiao and his eighteen horsemen, he could break through the scum defense line of the Yellow Turban Thief at any time, but Liu Chang decided to wait for Cao Cao to come before leaving.

While Liu Chang and his subordinates were discussing, Cao Cao led an army of 5,000 feathers on the journey.

After a day and night of marching, Cao Cao's troops were now quietly approaching Changshe, less than ten miles away from the outermost encirclement of Bocai's Yellow Turban Army. He ordered his soldiers to halt their advance, and set up a makeshift emergency camp by a large wooded area and a small river that ran through it.

Cao Cao had already known what he was going to face, Changshe had been besieged for half a month, the enemy had reached 100,000 people, and he had defeated the remnants of Zhu Jun's 30,000 iron cavalry, and his morale was in full swing; If he wants to relieve the siege of Changshe with only 5,000 cavalry, he is undoubtedly daydreaming, and rashly attacking is tantamount to a moth to a fire. Moreover, he was a long-distance attacker, and when he approached the enemy, he was already sleepy and tired; People are iron, rice is steel, not only soldiers need to eat, war horses need to be fed, and the village by the river is to understand the thirst of war horses.

"The Art of War" Cao Cao has already memorized it well, how can he not know the basic common sense of "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles"? But now? The situation of Huangfu Song, the commander of Changshe City, is unknown, the specific deployment of the enemy's Bocai is unknown, and even the combat effectiveness of the 5,000 men and horses led by himself is unknown. How will this battle be fought?

The most important thing is the morale of the officers and soldiers of his own troops, the soldiers' nervous dismounting movements and slightly flustered eyes make Cao Cao feel not optimistic, he needs to wait for the fighters, especially the need to solve the soldiers' cowardice. Sun Tzu said: Attacking the city is the bottom, and attacking the heart is the top. The first thing that needs to be solved is the military spirit of your own troops!

There are only three points that make Cao Cao feel a little at ease: First, he has long heard of Zuo Zhonglang's command and combat ability of Huangfu Song, and when he mentions the name of Huang Fu Song, people use reverence. 2. Having approached the enemy enough to charge with cavalry, but not seeing even a single scout horse of the Yellow Turbans, there are only two possibilities: either the enemy is extremely arrogant and careless; Either Bocai does not understand the most basic common sense of warfare at all, and no matter which one it is, it is a good thing. 3. There is also a rebel army nearby that is not under his own legion.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, called the two deputies, and explained like this. The two men each led five hundred horsemen and galloped away in different directions from east to west.

Suddenly, on the periphery of the encirclement of the Yellow Turban Army of Changshe, a small group of cavalry of the official army appeared in the east and west directions at the same time.

Bo Cai, who was feasting in a large area of the camp, heard the report, so he roughly analyzed that this must be the remnants of Zhu Jun's defeated army, because they could not communicate to the imperial court after the defeat, and they were harassing here. Then he instructed: "Lure them closer, prepare more ropes and traps, people are going to die, horses are going to live, Lao Tzu is trying to get some fresh horse meat to supplement the army rations." ”

The sound of war drums and shouts. After a while, the subordinates came down to report: "Yuqu Shuai, the cavalry only approached the place where our army was a stone's throw away, and after putting the crossbow in formation, it broke and retreated, and our army could not catch up, and the ambush army suffered more than ten casualties." ”

"Damn," Bo Cai believed in his judgment even more: "Put more rattan protection, don't pay attention to them, leave 5,000 sergeants in each battalion to protect the women and children in the big battalion, and the rest are ready to attack the city with all their might!" ”

And at the head of the long community. Huangfu Song was urged to the city tower by several war drums outside the city, and began to think that Cao Cao's Yulin army had arrived, but there was a burst of thunder in the distance, and there was no rain, and the defenders at the head of the city were a little depressed.

There were a few more war drums in the distance, and Huangfu Song now understood a little, and muttered to himself: "It turns out that this is the reinforcements reporting to themselves, they say that we have arrived, you must persevere, if you break through, we will respond." ”

"Breakout?" Huangfu Song looked at the dense grass huts and wooden villages outside the city, smiled wryly and shook his head, if his three thousand or so people left the support of the strong city, they would be like a handful of sand sprinkled into the sea, and even the waves would not be startled; Fortunately, the enemy did not have the equipment to climb the city, and some cloud ladders tied together alone could not help Changshe City for the time being.

"Pass the order, beat the drum and make three links, closely monitor, and don't act rashly." Huangfu Song had no good way to break the enemy for the time being, so he had to inform the reinforcements with the sound of drums first, and I already knew it.

After giving the order, Huangfu Song was about to go down to the city, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of more than a dozen horsemen from the side of the yellow turban thief and went straight to the city gate!
