Chapter 455: The Battle of Guandu X
In the face of Huo Yu's tired tactics, Cao Cao had no choice. It's not that Cao Cao is incompetent, it's mainly that the Youzhou army is too strong, and the huge gap in strength makes Cao Cao can only stand still.
But what made Cao Cao excited was that Xu Huang did not disappoint him after all. At noon two days later, Xu Huang came to Cao Cao's tent in the dust, investigated the situation clearly, and reported it to the truth.
"Lord, it has now been ascertained that the grain and grass of the Youzhou army are indeed hoarded in Wuchao. On the surface, the defense of the entire black nest is lax, but in fact, there is an elite army of soldiers and horses, with a small number of more than 5,000 people. β
Speaking of this, Xu Huang took the water bladder handed by Cao Hong, poured a few sips, and then wiped his mouth and continued.
"Every other day, the Youzhou army escorts grain and grass from Wuchao. The Wuchao guard general Xiahou Lan is Zhao Yunfa Xiao, who followed Huo Yu very early, his martial arts are mediocre, and he does not have too outstanding performance in the Youzhou army! β
Hearing Xu Huang's full description, Cao Cao did not express his opinion in time. His eyes were fixed on the black nest on the map, and his left hand was curled with his beard, sometimes pacing, sometimes shaking his head.
"My lord, this opportunity must not be missed. There are not many defenders of the black nest, if you send an elite surprise attack, you can break it! Cao Hong watched Cao Cao pacing back and forth, anxiously persuading.
Hearing what Cao Hong said, Cao Cao was stunned and forgot to glance at Cao Hong.
"Don't you think this is Huo Yu's plan?" Compared with Cao Hong, Cheng Yu's mentality of Cao Cao is quite accurate.
"What does Zhongde think?"
"My subordinates think this is an opportunity!"
"Oh?"
"Die if you fight, die if you don't fight! If you blow with all your might, you might be able to turn defeat into victory! Cheng Yu bowed to Cao Cao and said firmly.
At this time, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he had just fallen into a dead end. According to the current situation, it is only a matter of time before it is defeated by the Youzhou army.
As Cheng Yu said, "Die if you fight, die if you don't fight!" It's all death anyway, and it's better to die standing than to die on your knees. After untying the knot in his heart, Cao Cao no longer hesitated, and immediately summoned all the generals to decide to fight with all his might. Whether you lose or win is secondary, if you have a fighter but don't grasp it, that's not what Cao Cao did.
After everyone arrived, Cao Cao revealed his thoughts and thoughts. As soon as everyone heard this, the generals were all gearing up, these battles were fought in grievances, and now they finally have the opportunity to show the evil anger in their hearts.
Cao Cao's move has only one purpose, that is, to unify the thinking of the upper and lower levels. Only when the whole army is ideologically unified and fights against all odds can it have a chance of victory.
"Lord, give the order!" Cao Hong and Xiahoudun spoke out at the same time.
"The generals will obey!"
"Cao Ren, lead 10,000 horses to stay in the camp!"
"No!" Cao Ren has nothing to complain about Cao Cao's arrangement, after all, he is missing an arm now, and he can't help much if he goes, so it's better to guard the camp well.
"Xu Huang will lead five thousand elite soldiers as the vanguard, and the rest of the people will follow Benhou to attack the black nest!"
The order was issued, and in order not to be noticed by the Youzhou army, the Cao army made full arrangements in the camp, and then began to recuperate. Such an operation can only get rid of the detection of the scouts in Youzhou at night.
In the Youzhou Army camp, Huo Yu looked at the information that Shi A had just sent and showed a wicked smile.
"The fish has taken the bait! Senior Brother Shi A, immediately sent a message to the drama military master and asked him to prepare. β
"No!" Shi Ah went away without the slightest drag of mud and water.
Such an important general order, of course, was to be completed by him personally. It's not that Shi Ah doesn't trust his subordinates, but this matter is related to the overall situation of the world, and he has to be cautious.
"Yuan Jian, convene all the generals to discuss the matter!" After Shi A left, Huo Yu shouted outside the big tent.
Liao Hua went as promised, and in less than half a pillar of incense, a group of generals from Youzhou appeared in front of Huo Yu.
Wuchao is located behind Guandu, and it stands to reason that this place is far away from the Guandu battlefield. However, today's captain who was ordered to escort the scribbled captain had a sense of foreboding in his heart.
Although there were more than 1,000 soldiers under his command, escorting a team of grain and grass, he kept looking around all the way as he walked at the front of the team.
Li Ergou, that is, the leading captain, if it weren't for Youzhou's new policy, his family would have seen Hades a long time ago. In order to make his younger brother and sister live a better life, Li Ergou resolutely joined the Youzhou Army.
With his own military exploits, Li Ergou was promoted to the position of captain step by step, and he can be regarded as a veteran. According to the military regulations of the Youzhou Army, after this battle, Li Ergou can return to his hometown.
However, today, Li Ergou has always had a sense of foreboding. The mountains in front of you are not very high, but they are connected to each other, and there is no end in sight. This road has been going back and forth a lot, and every time he travels here, Li Ergou is always extremely careful.
Under the mountains, the team escorting grain and grass marched slowly, and on the bare mountain, it was quiet, and there was no abnormal movement at all, which had to make the leader Li Ergou wonder.
Even if you pass by here in the past, you can occasionally see flocks of birds. But today it was surprisingly quiet, and after walking forward for a while, Li Ergou raised his arm violently and gave the order of all the generals. Turning his head to look to the side, his brows gradually twisted.
"All on alert! Slow ahead! Putting down his arm, Li Ergou shouted loudly.
When the order was issued, a thousand well-trained Youzhou troops clenched the blades in their hands tighter, and their eyes were a little more vigilant.
Although the general order was issued, Li Ergou still did not move, and quietly observed for a while before he clamped the horse's belly between his legs and continued to move forward.
If you look at it from a high altitude, behind the boulders of the mountains, there are many figures hidden, but there is no order, and no one dares to act rashly.
Staring at the grain transport team that was slowly moving forward at the foot of the mountain, a general of the Cao army with a big knife in his eyes, his eyes shining with green light.
Looking at Li Ergou, who was in the lead, this person thought in his heart: "What a vigilant guy! β
Seeing the grain transport team slowly approaching the ambush circle, the general of the Cao army pinched his hand with a big knife vigorously. Near him, countless Cao soldiers hid behind boulders, each with a cold expression, staring at the prey that slowly entered the full set.
The general of the Cao army carrying a big sword was none other than Xu Huang, a general under Cao Cao. Since he joined Cao Cao, Xu Huang has not yet made great contributions, and Xu Huang thought that he was lucky to save Cao Ren that day, although he lost to Guan Yu, but Cao Cao did not blame too much! This time, as the vanguard of the attack on the black nest, it can be regarded as an opportunity for himself to make meritorious contributions.
In order to be able to blend into the black nest, Xu Huang also racked his brains before he came up with a way to ambush the grain transportation team. In the night, only by relying on the same clothes can he swagger close to the place where the Youzhou army is stockpiled with grain. But soon, Xu Huang will know how naΓ―ve his idea is.
Seeing the team escorting grain and grass moving slowly, Xu Huang did not feel the slightest nervousness, but looked forward to the support team entering the ambush circle soon. In order to avoid the scouts of the Youzhou army, the Cao army led by Xu Huang was not very numerous, only more than 500 people.
But these more than 500 people, all of them are veterans of the Cao Army, and each of them is very experienced in fighting, which can be said to be the elite of the elite.
