Chapter 333: Split-petal plum blossom plan
After Xiahoudun said this, he finally fainted due to excessive blood loss and the bump of the horse, and Cao Cao hurriedly ordered the sergeant to carry Xiahoudun down so that he could be healed.
Then, Cao Cao looked in the direction of the east gate of Chen Liucheng, only to see that there was still a fight there, and after a closer look, it was Yu Ban who led more than 100 Cao soldiers to resist.
However, Yu Ban's defeat was decided, and he fought and retreated, and he was not the opponent of Liu Bei's army at all.
Cao Cao immediately made a decision and said: "Miaocai and Zixiao led the troops to attack Liu Beijun's left flank; Dian Wei and Wen He led the troops to attack Liu Beijun's right flank; Zihe led the tiger and leopard cavalry to meet Liu Bei's army, and he must save Wen Ze! ”
"Order!"
The generals got Cao Cao's order, and hurriedly divided their troops into three ways and killed them towards the east gate.
At this time, Yu Ban was already irresistible, and what he was most looking forward to in his heart was Cao Cao's rescue, if he didn't come again, his hundreds of people and horses would have to fold outside the East Gate.
When he really wanted to come to something, he was waiting for the reinforcements to arrive, and the shouts of killing sounded behind him.
Yu Ban took the opportunity to look back and see that it was the tiger and leopard rider led by Cao Chun!
"Split the ranks and let the tiger and leopard ride over!" Yu Ban shouted loudly.
After hearing this, the remaining Cao soldiers hurriedly divided into two, flashed out the gap in the middle, and then the sergeants of the tiger and leopard cavalry killed Liu Beijun one after another.
This is Cao Chun passing by Yu Ban's side, leading a horse, handing the reins to Yu Ban, and saying, "General Yu, can you still fight?" ”
Yu Ban took the war horse, turned over, laughed, and said, "I want to kill a few more thieves!" ”
With the addition of Cao Cao's reinforcements, they soon resisted the pace of Liu Bei's army's attack, and a chaotic battle began.
However, before this battle, Cao Cao's original plan was to sneak attack and win quickly, so the sergeants traveled lightly, the purpose was to move quickly.
Therefore, in terms of the preparation of weapons and equipment, it is not as sufficient as Liu Bei's preparation, not to mention that Liu Bei's elite troops are equipped with weapons and armor made of fine iron, and the combat effectiveness has not been improved to a level.
Therefore, although Cao Cao's reinforcements pressed up, but in this kind of sports warfare, after losing the opportunity, it gradually fell behind.
Moreover, tonight, Cao Bing originally thought that the other party had fallen for Cao Cao's scheme, but he didn't expect that they would be ambushed by the other party instead.
Originally, I was still envious of those robes who climbed over the wall to enter Chen Liu, after all, those soldiers who were able to enter the city early must have made greater contributions than the people they waited outside the city.
But now, they don't think so, there are so many sergeants who have entered, and there are only two or three hundred people who can come out alive.
Even General Xiahoudun was seriously injured, one eye was blind, and he was even dying of that look.
As a result, the morale of Cao Bing plummeted, and Sergeant Liu Bei was killed from the city, although he was defending the city, he was acting as an attacker at this time.
Although Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry was brave, this kind of positional warfare, the advantage of cavalry maneuver could not be brought into play at all.
Moreover, Liu Bei's subordinates also have the school knife team led by Guan Yu, and the threat to the tiger and leopard cavalry is also very great.
Although the school knife team lost a lot in the battle of Puyang, Guan Yu made a timely supplement, and at the same time, through these days, learned the lessons of the last defeat, and conducted special training for the school knife team.
Although Cao Chun has a degree of command, he still has some deficiencies in the face of Guan Yu.
Especially Guan Yu's one person and one knife, no one can stop him, compared with Cao Chun, it can improve the morale of the sergeant.
In addition, the left and right armies, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Le Jin, etc., although they are brave, but the current situation is difficult to reverse.
Cao Cao stared at the battle situation and sighed, knowing that he had miscalculated a step and led to the defeat of the army, and now the best measure was to withdraw the army.
"Mingjin!" Cao Cao did not hesitate and ordered.
While! While! While!
Mingjin sounded, Cao Bing began to retreat, Liu Bei saw it, and naturally he would not give up this good opportunity to chase and kill.
"The whole army has it, chase!" Liu Bei swung his sword with one arm and shouted loudly.
Guan Yu naturally took the lead and chased Cao Bing to fight!
It was not until he knew the rooster that Liu Bei collected soldiers and horses and counted the losses.
In this battle, although Liu Beijun also killed more than 1,000 people, Cao Bing died more, not to mention the thousands of people who climbed over the wall and entered the city, even if they were chased and killed along the way.
Along the way, Cao Bing even lost his armor, and Liu Bei obtained weapons and armor, but Liu Bei is a little disdainful of those now, after all, the weapons and armor equipped by his army are much better.
Guan Yu came to Liu Bei and said, "Big brother, looking at this situation, Cao Bing fled, it is better to take advantage of his illness and kill him!" ”
Liu Bei nodded and said, "Okay!" After the sergeants rested for a while, they pursued Cao Cao! ”
Let's say that Cao Cao led the sergeants and fled all the way, until they fled to a river, and then ordered the sergeants to stop.
"My lord, why do you want the sergeants to discard their weapons and armor along the way?" Cao Ren asked with some puzzlement.
Cao Cao laughed and said, "I didn't plan well last night, and it was my fault to turn against Liu Bei's treacherous plan." ”
"The lord is serious, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, let's regroup and fight with Liu Bei." Yu Ban also said.
Cao Cao nodded and said, "If this battle is not civil, it will be brave, and I will lose a few generals." By the way, how is Yuan Rang's injury? ”
Xiahou Yuan hurriedly said: "The medical worker has stopped the bleeding for Yuan Rang, and now he is still in a coma, but, according to the medical worker, Yuan Rang's body is strong, and there should be no major problem, but the eyes can't be cured." ”
Cao Cao nodded, did not continue to ask, but said: "You must be wondering, why did you order the sergeants to discard their weapons and armor along the way when they withdrew the troops?" ”
"Please also speak to the lord." Cao Ren asked again.
Cao Cao smiled and said, "This is my plan to lure the enemy." Seeing that our army was so embarrassed, Liu Bei would definitely lead the army to pursue. ”
"If Liu Bei comes, how can we resist?" Xiahou Yuan asked.
Cao Cao smiled slightly and said, "I have a second strategy, called 'Split Plum Blossom Strategy'!" ”
When the generals heard this, they looked at each other, they had never heard of any 'split plum blossom scheme', and they couldn't help but look at Cao Cao with doubts on their faces.
Cao Cao didn't explain much, and directly ordered: "Miaocai, you lead a group of soldiers and horses and go to the east to ambush; Zixiao, you led a group of soldiers and horses to the west to ambush; Wen Ze, you led a group of soldiers and horses to the southwest to ambush; Wenhe, you led a group of soldiers and horses to the southeast to ambush. This is a split plum blossom! ”
"What about the lord?" Cao Ren asked.
Cao Cao laughed and said: "I will wait for Liu Bei here, and when I hear the sound of my drums, you will lead the troops and kill on all sides, and you will be able to break Liu Bei!" ”
"Don't put yourself in danger!" Yu Ban hurriedly said.
Cao Cao laughed, shook his head and said, "Wen Ze doesn't have to worry, I have a tiger and a leopard to ride and Dian Wei, and it's safe." ”
