Chapter 967: The soldiers who go into battle are the people, and the people who go into battle

Zhang He led his soldiers to lie dormant in the mountains and forests.

On the path down the mountain, Cao's army grain convoy was passing at a very slow pace.

Xu Huang, who was walking at the front with more than 300 people, has become more cautious since entering this path.

The mountains and forests on both sides of the road are too quiet.

In the silence, he could only hear the sound of horses' hooves as the procession marched.

Although the mountains and forests are quiet, there will always be some bird songs.

However, in the mountains and forests they passed, not a single bird or finch had ever appeared.

Abnormal!

It's really abnormal!

In the mountains and forests, observing the Cao army's grain transportation team, Zhang He was also bottomless.

The team transporting grain is in front of him, and the Cao army accompanying the escort is only more than a thousand people, as long as he leads the army to rush and kill, this team will completely collapse.

But Zhang He faintly felt that this team was not so simple.

As for what is not simple, he can't say.

"General, what should I do?" The captain on the side asked Zhang He.

"Do you think there's something wrong with the enemy?" Zhang He whispered to the lieutenant.

The lieutenant shook his head.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it." Zhang He said: "Pass the order and let the soldiers prepare." ”

The lieutenant nodded in agreement and waved his hand behind him.

The soldiers of the Yuan army, who were waiting for the order, set up arrows on their longbows one after another, aiming at the Cao army that was passing under the mountain.

"Hit the middle." Zhang He said: "A small number of soldiers and horses are blocked on both sides, and the rest of the soldiers are following me to attack the enemy's grain and grass, and we must destroy the enemy army before the enemy forces break through on both sides." ”

The soldiers of the Yuan army nodded solemnly one by one.

Since coming to Guandu, the Cao family and the Yuan family have fought many times.

The Cao family took advantage of a lot in the fight, and although Yuan Jun also had small victories, they were all negligible and painless.

The soldiers of the Cao family are confused about the future of this war, and the soldiers of the Yuan army also need a decent victory, so that they can see the possibility of victory.

The team led by Xu Huang walked by, and Cao Jun, who was transporting grain and grass, entered Zhang He's sight.

"Shoot the arrows!" When the team transporting grain and grass arrived in front, Zhang He broke off and shouted.

On the hillside, the soldiers of the Yuan army opened their strong bows and shot arrows downward.

The Cao army, which had long been prepared, did have some casualties when the first wave of arrows from the Yuan army came, but soon, they formed a shield formation and guarded the grain cart to the death.

The soldiers of the Cao army, who were squatting behind the shield array, would also shoot some arrows into the hillside from time to time.

But after all, they couldn't see where Yuan Jun was, so they could only shoot arrows by feeling and use them to suppress the enemy army.

"Intercept the enemy!" The two sides fired at each other, and Zhang He was worried that the two wings of Cao Jun rushing over would make it more difficult for him to succeed, so he hurriedly ordered the two groups of Yuan troops who were responsible for blocking them to go down the mountain first.

When those Yuan soldiers rushed down the mountain, Zhang He also stood up and roared: "Soldiers, kill me!" ”

The tide of Yuan Jun poured down the hillside.

Seeing Yuan Jun attacking, Zhao Yun smiled slightly, and said to the captain beside him: "The enemy army has been fooled, and the soldiers who escorted the military rations were ordered to wait until the enemy army rushed down, and then take off their coats, exposing their armor and fighting with the enemy army." ”

"Order!" The lieutenant replied and gestured to the people who were escorting the grain and grass.

Seeing his gestures, the people took out their weapons from the compartment of the carriage one by one, hibernated behind the carriage, and took off their clothes.

There were deep clothes thrown everywhere on the ground, and the men who were originally dressed as people to drive the carriage turned into sturdy Cao soldiers in a blink of an eye.

It's just that they hid behind the carriage, and the Yuan army that poured down from the mountain didn't find out.

Leading the soldiers to rush down the hillside, Zhang He saw Zhao Yun not far away.

Knowing that Zhao Yun was the general responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass, Zhang He burst into tears and killed him.

"Never died!" Seeing Zhang He rushing up, Zhao Yun smiled contemptuously, and rode forward to kill.

Engaged in the battle with Zhao Yun, Zhang He inadvertently glanced to the side from the corner of his eye, and he completely understood why Cao Jun wanted to divide the men and horses into three groups.

Originally, the people who drove the car were all Cao soldiers.

Four or five thousand people are four or five thousand elite of Cao's army.

The total number of Yuan troops he brought was only more than 2,000 people, and he was prepared for less battles and more unprepared battles, and this battle began to be fought, and he had already lost!

Finding that Cao Jun had already prepared, Zhang He panicked, and Zhao Yun took advantage of the situation to stab at him.

It wasn't until the spear was about to stab Zhang He's heart that he reacted and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it.

Even though he dodged in time, Zhao Yun still cut a long hole in his arm.

The soldiers on both sides had already been killed in one place, and Cao Jun, who was hiding behind the grain cart, shouted, and swarmed to pounce on Yuan's army, who had just rushed down the hillside.

I didn't expect there to be so many Cao Jun, and Yuan Jun who rushed down the hill were all stunned.

"Withdraw!" was stabbed in the arm by Zhao Yun, Zhang He shouted, and rode his horse away from the battlefield.

The main general withdrew, and the soldiers of the Yuan army still had the determination to continue fighting, and they retreated to the mountains and forests one after another.

"Poor Kou Mo Chase!" Cao Jun was about to catch up, when Zhao Yun shouted.

Watching Zhang He and his Yuan army withdraw, Xu Huang came to the front: "General Zhao, why don't you let the pursuit?" ”

"We're not here to fight, we're just transporting grain." Zhao Yun said: "Sending the grain and grass to Guandu as soon as possible is a great achievement for us." ”

"It seems to be Zhang He who came just now." Xu Chu said: "I have met him on the battlefield, and this person has some skills. ”

"I already felt it when I fought him." Zhao Yun said: "If it weren't for his panic and mistake, I wouldn't have been able to beat him so quickly." Not to mention that there are no two or three hundred rounds, I can't do anything with him. ”

Looking at Cao Jun, who was pressed by the black, Xu Huang was also stunned: "General Zhao, what's going on?" ”

Zhao Yun smiled slightly: "General Xu may not have heard of the strategies adopted by Gongzi in Xuzhou and other places, and the people in many villages are soldiers of our army. They are soldiers when they go into battle, and they are people when they go into battle. The people who drove the car were soldiers of our army from the beginning, and now they have changed into armor, which is not surprising. ”

Xu Huang was stunned.

The number of men needed to transport grain and grass far exceeded the number of soldiers in charge of guarding.

If all the people were soldiers......

Xu Huang didn't dare to think that such a grain transportation team, who else could rob the grain and grass from them!

"General Xu, the enemy army has robbed once and failed to succeed." Zhao Yun said: "I think they won't make any more moves in the future, it's not far from Guandu here, let's speed up the march, don't let Cao Gong and Gongzi wait in a hurry." ”

"Listen to General Zhao." Xu Huang responded.

Glancing at the place where Zhang He had fled, Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "If Gongzi knew that we let Zhang He go, he would definitely be very annoyed. ”
