Chapter 250: Cao Cao defeats Xu Rong

People say that Yu Ban is not guaranteed in the late in history, and surrendering Guan Yu is really a crime of non-war, he is not familiar with the climate in the Xiangfan area, and was taken by Guan Yu, who is familiar with the climate in that area, and he surrendered Guan Yu more to protect the 30,000 soldiers of the Seventh Army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf you change to the north, they will compete with each other with an army of 100,000 people, and Guan Yu, who is proud of 'sex', is by no means an opponent of Yu Ban, who is resolute, rigorous, calm, and composed. Just put aside the defeat of Xiangfan, look at Yu Ban's past achievements, worthy of being a good general of the five sons, just put aside the victory of Xiangfan, look at Guan Yu's past achievements, but few.

Jin Liang asked: "Wen Ze, do you know why I asked Prime Minister Bao Guo to ask you to join the Central Army?" ”

Yu Ban bowed down and said: "Yu Ban doesn't know, please show the general." ”

Jin Liang said with a smile: "Wen Ze, what is your evaluation of your ability to train, lead and fight?" ”

Yu Ban was stunned, no one had ever asked him this question, he thought about it seriously, and said: "If the general can give me five hundred men and horses, I will definitely be able to lead them into invincible 'elite' soldiers." ”

Jin Liang laughed and said: "It's too condescending to let you only bring five hundred people, so let's do it, my first brigade of the Flying Tiger Army still lacks a deputy brigade commander, you will take charge and help me handle all the military affairs in the brigade, the first brigade has 2,000 soldiers and 2,000 auxiliaries, a total of 4,000 people, I hope you can bring them well!" ”

Yu Ban has been sinking into the army since he joined the army five years ago, and no one appreciates him, and today 'Ri' saw Jin Liang so important, he couldn't help but be grateful, and bowed to the ground: "Yu Ban to see the lord!" Yu Ban just said that he was a general, but now he changed his words to call Jin Liang the lord, it seems that Jin Liang's weapon moved him and made him swear allegiance to Jin Liang in his heart.

Jin Liang took the map and said to the ban: "Wen Ze, please hurry up, how to march later, I want to hear your opinion?" ”

Yu Ban looked at the map a little, and said confidently: "Lord, Xu Rong ambushed Wang Kuang in Zhongmu, just because Wang Kuang was aggressive, Xu Rong succeeded once, and he would not set up an ambush in Zhongmu again, Zhongmu City is short, Xu Rong did not dare to stay in Zhongmu with 30,000 horses, he must have withdrawn his troops and returned to Xingyang." ”

Jin Liang smiled and nodded: "Your analysis is very reasonable, so in your opinion, where will Xu Rong use troops to deal with Cao Cao?" ”

Yu Ban took a closer look at the map: "Xu Rong is facing our 200,000 troops in the Kwantung region head-on with 30,000 horses, naturally he will not fight hard, but will outwit him, I think he will definitely repeat the old trick, ambush Cao Cao, the ambush place should be in Bianshui!" ”

Jin Liang looked at Yu Ban in surprise, then leaned over and looked at the map, and couldn't help shouting in his heart, Luo Guanzhong, you are really Luo Guanshui!

Xingyang is obviously in the east of Luoyang, hundreds of miles away from Luoyang, and was flown to the west of Luoyang by Luo Guanshui Feibi, Tiger Prison Pass, Bishui Pass is simply the same pass in different periods of time, Tiger Prison Pass Sanying Battle Jin Liang, Bishui Pass Guan Yu beheaded Huaxiong does not exist at all in the official history, Jin Liang and Huaxiong were defeated by the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian in the official history, and Huaxiong was also killed by Sun Jian.

And the order of the various battles in the war against Dong was also randomly arranged by Luo Guanshui, the official history records that Dong Zhuo first coerced the emperor to move the capital to Chang'an, and stayed in Luoyang to resist the Kwantung Army, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army was brave and good at fighting, and the Kwantung Army more than 100,000 people were stationed in the area of Sujuo, no one dared to advance to Luoyang, Cao Cao thought that Dong Zhuo burned the palace, robbed the Son of Heaven, and the sea was shaken, so he should take the opportunity to fight with it, so he led the army westward alone. Cao Cao traveled to Xingyang Bianshui, and Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong 'confronted', because the number of soldiers was very different, Cao Cao was defeated, most of the soldiers were killed and wounded, and he was also injured by the arrow, fortunately his cousin Cao Hong rescued, and the Kwantung princes did not fight, drinking and singing in the sour jujube 'day' and 'day'.

Jin Liang sneered in his heart, let Xu Rong kill Cao Cao this time.

Jin Liang first sent a message to Bao Xin and Cao Cao, saying that the soldiers under his command had come from a long journey and had to rest for two 'days' before they could march.

Bao Xin was self-controlled, he had 20,000 horses and 2,000 cavalry, and Cao Cao also had 10,000 horses, Chen Liutaishou sent Wei Zi to lead 5,000 men and horses to help, so that they had 36,000 men and horses, and they could try to fight with Xu Rong in a 'sexual' battle.

Cao Cao was quite disdainful of the combat strength of the Western Liang army, and a few years ago, when he went to crusade against Zhang Jiao as a cavalry captain, he had fought several fierce battles without defeat; And Dong Zhuo replaced Lu Zhi as the general of Beizhonglang, leading tens of thousands of Xiliang troops, but he even fought without victory, and Cao Cao said that Dong Zhuo was nothing more than that.

Bao Xin was anxious, Cao Cao underestimated the enemy, and as soon as the two of them combined a little, they felt that they would not wait for Jin Liang for the time being, and they would go to fight with Xu Rong first.

Cao Cao took his four righteous brothers Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and Le Jin and other generals, Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to accompany him, and Bao Xin took his younger brothers Bao Tao and Bao Zhong, as well as Zhang Miao's general Wei Zi and others, a total of 35,000 people, came to Zhongmu County.

At this time, Zhongmu City had been sacked by the Xiliang soldiers, and then burned to ashes, and the strategist Chen Gong, who was allocated by Zhang Miao to Cao Cao, turned out to be the Zhongmu County Order, and Ren Jun was originally the Zhongmu County Gong Cao, both of them are now in Cao Cao's army, and when they saw the tragic situation of Zhongmu, they were filled with righteous indignation and scolded. At this time, Cao Cao still had a great sense of justice, and when he saw the tragic situation in Zhongmu City, he was also furious and ordered to continue the march.

Cao Cao learned the lesson of Wang Kuang's ambush by Xu Rong, and was very careful along the way, sending many scouts to investigate everywhere to avoid ending up with Wang Kuang.

Cao Cao and Bao Xin's men and horses carefully crossed the Bianshui, and they didn't see Xu Rong rushing out to attack half-crossing, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing.

Bao Xin asked in surprise: "Why is Meng De laughing?" ”

Cao Cao laughed and said: "I laugh at Xu Rong's lack of knowledge of the art of war, not setting up ambushes halfway, not taking advantage of the time when we cross the river to attack halfway, missing so many fighters in vain!" I laughed at Wang Kuang Pifu, he was really stupid, so he was taken by Xu Rong! ”

Cao Cao's laughter did not stop, and he saw thousands of cavalry rushing from the direction of Xingyang, headed by a general, with black helmets and black armor, nine feet long, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tiger body and a wolf waist, a leopard head and ape arms, straddling the Xiliang horse, holding a big knife, and killing the general.

Bao Xin's younger brother Bao Zhong was in charge of Bao Xin's 2,000 cavalry, and Bao Zhong rushed forward with his horse and fought with the general.

Bao Zhong shouted loudly: "I am Bao Zhong under the command of the Prime Minister of Bao Guo in Jibei, who is you?!" The general Xiliang replied loudly: "I am the captain of the Xiaocai Cavalry under Dong Xiangguo, Hua Xiong is also, you and other rats, dare to come and compete with my Xiliang Iron Cavalry!" ”

Bao Zhong was furious, waved a big knife, fought to the death, fought for more than ten rounds, Huaxiong's sword technique was scattered, turned the horse around, and shouted in his mouth: "The princes of Kwantung have such fierce generals, and my Huaxiong is invincible!" "Lead the thousands of cavalry under your command to flee backwards, I want it

Bao Zhong fought his brother's power in Jibei, and boasted that he was the first fierce general in Jibei, no one dared to provoke him, so he underestimated the world's generals, and saw Huaxiong's defeat and retreat, he laughed and said: "Xiliang rats, stay your life!" As he spoke, he slapped his horse and chased after him, and his 2,000 cavalry followed Bao Zhong in hot pursuit.

Bao Xin was afraid that his younger brother would lose, so he hurriedly urged the foot soldiers to catch up.

Cao Cao saw that the direction of Huaxiong's defeat and retreat was all barren hillsides, and it seemed that there could be no ambush, so he led his men and horses to follow closely.

After chasing for a few miles, the slopes on both sides gradually flattened, and a poignant and long horn sounded, and countless black-armored cavalry turned out of the slopes on both sides, rushing down from the slope, like a black 'colored' wave sweeping in, unstoppable.

Bao Xin hurriedly organized two thousand Taishan archers to shoot at the position, so as to give the men and horses in the rear enough time to prepare, but he didn't know that Xu Rong's precursor cavalry was a cavalry wearing iron armor and a war horse armor.

This is a battlefield specially chosen by Xu Rong, which is very conducive to cavalry charge, the cavalry gallops down from the gentle hillside, unstoppable, especially the cavalry wearing iron armor, the war horse wearing horse armor and the iron cavalry, like a mudslide, washing away all the obstacles in front of you.

Those ironclad cavalry effortlessly broke through the formation of the Cao army, and the current two thousand Taishan archers after a round of charges by the ironclad cavalry, most of them became fleshy mud, and the other branches of the Cao army, including the light cavalry, were not the opponents of the ironclad cavalry at all, and in the face of that terrible impact, it could be said that they would die next to each other, and they would die if they touched it.

Cao Cao and Bao Xin's men and horses are mostly farmers and bandits who have not been recruited for a long time, how to resist these Xiliang strong troops who have been fighting with the Qiang people in Xiliang for many years, what is the righteousness of the country and the people, and what military discipline is like a mountain, are all left behind by these soldiers, they run away, and the army is defeated like a mountain for a while.

When the horn sounded, Hua Xiong quickly turned his horse around, and with a loud shout, he cut down Bao Zhong, who had just been invincible.

Bao Zhong's 2,000 cavalry was in chaos, and Hua Xiong took the lead and led his 2,000 cavalry to attack reflexively.

Guan Yu squinted his eyes, watching Hua Xiong clash back and forth in Cao Cao's army, unstoppable, and his heart couldn't help but flood with a soaring battle intent, turning his war horse, he was about to rush out and fight Hua Xiong alone.

How could Xu Rong use the high-speed impact of the Xiliang cavalry this time to rush the formation of more than 30,000 horses of Cao Cao and Bao Xin into pieces, and divide them into strips, and the Xiliang cavalry galloped vertically and horizontally, unstoppable.

Cao Jun is mostly infantry, has been disrupted formation, so they can only fight on their own, can not organize a decent attack at all, not to mention that there is no trapped heavy infantry like Gao Shun in the Cao army can resist the tall horses of Xiliang, and after a while, countless Cao soldiers died tragically under the swords of the Xiliang cavalry.

Guan Yu is now just a horse archer in the county, he has no hope of getting a red rabbit horse in his life, riding a horse, supporting his tall body and the Qinglong Yanyue knife made of 'fine' iron is already very difficult, being rushed by Xiliang Iron Cavalry like this, Guan Yu can only fight desperately to protect himself, and he can't rush the thick military formation of Xiliang Iron Cavalry to find Hua Xiong's bad luck.

Liu Bei's generation doesn't know if he can meet that Lu horse again, now he is riding on a horse, wielding a male and female sword, and can only protect himself between the Xiliang iron horse, for a long time, his fists are hard to beat with four hands, and if he is not careful, he will be slashed on the back by the saber of the Xiliang cavalry.

Zhang Fei brandished the Zhangba snake spear, riding a black horse, crisscrossing in the Xiliang cavalry, the man and the horse were one, coming and going, there was almost no enemy, he saw Liu Bei wielding a double sword, resisting hard, so he waved the Zhangba snake spear to protect Liu Bei out of the encirclement, Guan Yu also followed, killing out of the encirclement, and the three of them forgot about Cao Cao.

With Liu Guanzhang's martial arts, he was still embarrassed in front of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, not to mention Cao Cao's soldiers, most of them turned out to be farmers, although they had undergone four or five months of training, they had never been on the battlefield and experienced blood, and once they encountered a strong enemy, they quickly collapsed. Most of the men and horses under Bao Xin's command were adapted from the bandits in Mount Tai, if they were allowed to fight in the mountains and forests, there would naturally be no problem, but the battlefield Xu Rong chose, although the two sides were hillsides, were very smooth, which was conducive to cavalry charges, and in the middle was a large flat green space, which was conducive to the cavalry to outflank them.

On the battlefield chosen by Xu Rong, under the high pressure of 30,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, Cao Cao's men and horses quickly degenerated to the original state of farmers, and some even threw away their weapons, covered their heads, cried for their fathers and mothers, and fled in all directions, and Bao Xin's men and horses also quickly degenerated into the original state of bandits, and scattered to the slopes on both sides, trying to escape from the battlefield by the cover of the mountains and forests.

The brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan killed several people in a row, but they couldn't stop the rout of Cao's army.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cao Cao raised his lance and shouted: "Soldiers, we are behind Bianshui, soldiers, let's fight against the water!" Rise from the ashes! Cao Cao's idea was good, but he didn't expect this kind of defeat in advance, and none of the Cao soldiers who were chasing him on the Xiliang horse would listen to him.

Cao Cao saw that the soldiers and horses were festering out of control, so he waved his lance and rode his horse to the Xiliang array, wanting to use his blood to boost morale.

Cao Cao just jumped out of the horse, and suddenly a crossbow arrow hit the head of the war horse under Cao Cao's crotch, Cao Cao turned over and fell off the horse, fell to the ground, and could not move, several Xiliang soldiers saw Cao Cao's identity and hurriedly came to arrest him.

Cao Cao was choked enough, unable to move for a while, had to close his eyes and wait for death, at this critical juncture, a horse rushed to the horse, Cao Cao opened his eyes and saw that it was his righteous brother Cao Hong. Cao Hong didn't hesitate for a moment, flew off his horse, pulled Cao Cao up, and helped him onto his mount.

At this time, the war horse is the 'life' of the general, how can Cao Cao sacrifice his brother for his own life? Immediately struggled to dismount.

How could Cao Hong allow Cao Cao to dismount? In his mind, Cao Cao is no longer a cousin, he is his master, and he is willing to be loyal to the master for his life: "The lord goes quickly, there is no Cao Hong in the world, not the lord!" Cao Hong's foot battle also wants to protect the lord from this danger! ”

What else could Cao Cao say? Speaking of which, I received the deep friendship of my cousin.

This Cao Hong's foot combat work is quite good, a machete dance can not be splashed with water, far away arrows, close to block knives and spears, up to cut people's heads, down to cut horse legs, Xiliang soldiers can not be close to Cao Cao within a zhang.

Cao Hong protected Cao Cao and fought and retreated, fighting out of the encirclement, Cao Cao looked back, more than 30,000 people and horses had been explained there, sadly, the God of Wealth Weizi, who had a relationship with him, was also injured in the chaos, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel heartache and remorse.

At this moment, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and Bao Xin all broke out of the siege and kept Cao Cao from retreating to the edge of Bianshui.

Xu Rong's 30,000 Xiliang cavalry also quickly dealt with those Cao troops who had no time to escape, and chased after them.

The Xiliang soldiers chased closer and closer, and the arrows they shot had already landed on Cao Hong's armor, and the Bianshui in front of them, which was more than two zhang wide, seemed to be insurmountable.

Cao Hong immediately made a decision, slashed at the tail of the Shadow Horse, the Shadow was in unbearable pain, jumped into the air, jumped over the water, and rushed onto the embankment.

Bao Xin, Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Le Jin, Zhang Fei and others followed the same example, slashing at their horses' buttocks with a backhand, the horses were in unbearable pain, and jumped in the air.

Liu Bei's current horse is not Lu, just a horse, naturally he can't stage the feat of flying over Tanxi, and Guan Yu's horse will never be a red rabbit horse, and the horse that the two of them rode was halfway into the air, and it fell, and Liu Bei and Guan Yu fell into the water.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu were wearing heavy armor, and they refused to let go of the weapons in their hands, and sank to the bottom of the water in the blink of an eye.

Seven or eight soldiers spent a lot of effort to rescue Liu Bei and Guan Yu from the water, Liu Bei and Guan Yu became chickens in the soup, and they also poured a belly of water, and lay on the ground with a pale face. Zhang Fei has experience in killing pigs, and he also has experience in rescuing those who have fallen into the water, so he hurriedly turned over Liu Bei and Guan Yu and threw them on the horse's back, pressed their bellies on the horse's back, and squeezed out the river water in their stomachs.

Those Cao soldiers who escaped from the ambush circle ran to Bianshui, and those who knew how to water quickly took off their armor, threw away their weapons, and swam over, and those who couldn't water also forgot that they didn't know water under the close pursuit of the Xiliang cavalry, and jumped into the water in a panic, or were washed away by the water, or were shot to death by the Xiliang cavalry.

Xu Rong urged the horse to come to the edge of Bianshui, look at the Bianshui two zhang away, and then look at the Xiliang cavalry under his command wearing heavy armor, they will definitely not be able to jump, even if they jump over, they will be injured by the Cao soldiers on the other side, Xu Rong shouted: "Withdraw!" ”

Cao Cao and Bao Xin heard Xu Rong's order to withdraw the troops, their hearts suddenly relaxed, and they hurriedly ordered someone to rescue the Cao soldiers who fell into the water, and after a long time, they reluctantly put the remaining soldiers in order, and the original 35,000 men and horses, now there are only more than 9,000 people left, most of them are still discarded armor and weapons, and they are unarmed.

Cao Cao looked at the scattered and panicked defeated generals around him, and was not depressed, but laughed and said: "Xu Rong Pifu, I laugh at him for not using soldiers, if he lays down people here, there is a way for me to live!" (To be continued.) )
