Chapter 1878: Pioneer Cao Ren
"If we can thwart the vanguard of the Cao army, it will definitely be able to shake the morale of my army!" Zhou Yu said.
The heavy cavalry has great power on the battlefield, which Cao Cao has already embodied when he attacked Jingzhou before, Jingzhou's naval army is not weak in the ability to fight on land, but it is easy for the heavy cavalry of the Cao army, and even the general of the naval army in Jingzhou, Su Fei, is also captured by the Cao army.
There are 3,000 heavy cavalry in Cao's army, called the Tiger Ben Army, and the commander is Cao Ren, the famous general of Cao Cao's army, Cao Ren is Cao Cao's clan, and he has won Cao Cao's trust, and it is difficult to succeed if he wants to start with Cao Cao's trust.
Cao Ren was stationed in Nanjun to defend against the Jiangdong Army.
"If this matter is carefully planned, it may not be impossible to succeed, although the heavy cavalry is brave on the battlefield, it is not impossible to restrain it." Lu Su said slowly.
After the two of them planned, it was already late at night, walking out of the camp tent, looking at the starry sky, Zhou Yu said: "Cao Jun wants to break through Jingzhou and achieve some feats, and I, as a Jiangdong courtier, should defend myself against thieves." ”
Lu Su nodded, Jiangdong, if Sun Ce is still there, in the face of Cao Jun's conquest, there will definitely be no other voices, which is also due to Sun Ce's prestige in Jiangdong, Sun Ce is not only the king of Wu, but also a fierce general in Jiangdong.
Put it on Sun Quan's body, not only Lu Su, Zhou Yu can also feel that the generals in the army treat Sun Quan in their attitude, and they do not have the same respect for Sun Ce as before, this is also a normal thing, the generals in the army admire the capable people, Sun Quan has been in charge of Jiangdong for too short a time, and attaches great importance to civilian officials, so that the military generals in the army can't raise their heads in the face of civilian officials, how can they be willing, the reason why Jiangdong has the stability it has now has a great relationship with the military generals sacrificing their lives on the battlefield.
Zhou Yu is often in the army, and has heard many generals in the army talking about Sun Quan's words, if Zhou Yu has the intention to rebel, with his prestige in the army, it is enough to succeed, but Zhou Yu has a deep affection for Sun Ce, what he has to do is to do his best to assist Sun Quan and survive this crisis, and even on some things, Zhou Yu rarely expresses his own opinions.
"The Lord will certainly be unwavering in his support for the Governor." Lu Su said, after entering the army, he could feel the support of the generals in the army for Zhou Yu, such a person, if there is a different heart, how can Jiangdong be the current situation, Sun Quan sent him here, in fact, to secretly spy on Zhou Yu, at such a critical moment, Lu Su will try his best to help Zhou Yu resist the enemy.
Let's say that Cao Ren led 10,000 soldiers and horses into Jiangxia, and there were thousands of heavy cavalry in the army.
Cao Ren was kind and relieved to the defenders of Yundu City, and sent 500 soldiers and horses to take over Yundu.
In a continuous half a month, Cao Ren led his troops to break through Yundu and Nanxin, which greatly boosted the morale of the army.
However, Cao Ren was secretly vigilant, Jiangxia has 50,000 Jiangdong troops, Yundu and Nanxin are just small cities in Jiangxia, if their own army can't break Jiangxia, Jiangdong Army wants to recapture the two cities, it is extremely simple.
After Anlu was the county governor of Jiangxia County, Cao Ren had a hunch that there would be fierce battles in Anlu.
The vanguard army has a vital role for an army, not only to clear the obstacles on the way forward for the army, but also to provide the army with enemy intelligence, and the vanguard army is composed of elite men in the army, although their number is not large, but they can have a great impact on the enemy, so that the enemy army dare not despise.
Cao Ren has full confidence in the vanguard army, and the thousands of heavy cavalry in the army, once they charge on the battlefield, are bound to be able to determine the outcome of a war.
The might of the heavy cavalry on the battlefield has been tested on the battlefield in Jingzhou before.
Judging from the situation of the scouts, there is nothing strange about An Lu, this situation makes Cao Ren a little puzzled, if it is after breaking through An Lu, after the arrival of the army, he can come to Xiling City.
After Cao Ren cautiously inquired about the situation around An Lu again, he made a lot of discoveries.
"He actually ambushed soldiers and horses near Anlu." Cao Ren sneered.
Cao Chun said: "General, the enemy is ambushing soldiers and horses, why don't our army send cavalry to break it, so that the Jiangdong Army will definitely be shaken." ”
Cao Ren nodded and said, "Cao Chun, this general ordered you to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to raid the enemy army, and the enemy army must be defeated in this battle." ”
"Whoa." Cao Chun hugged his fists.
Cao Chun is also a famous general in the Cao army, after ordering 3,000 soldiers and horses, towards Anlu, the enemy ambushed soldiers and horses on the way to Anlu with his own army, Cao Chun naturally thought about how to give the Jiangdong army a painful lesson, at this time among the 3,000 soldiers and horses under his command, but there are 500 tiger cavalry, 500 tiger cavalry, absolutely invincible on the battlefield, defeat these soldiers and horses in the dark ambush, no problem.
"General, the enemy is coming." A general pointed to Sergeant Cao, who appeared not far away, and shouted.
Cheng Pu nodded slightly and said: "The generals and soldiers of the herald army, if you fight later, you can only defeat but not win, but the governor has prepared a generous gift for Cao Jun, if you don't perform well enough, you will be punished when you go back." ”
This is a jungle, and the scouts in the army found something abnormal, or because they saw a soldier of the Jiangdong Army, and then quietly returned, without alarming these ambushed Jiangdong Army.
Cao Chun intends to adopt a violent way, directly forcing the enemy hidden in the shadows out, what kind of power the heavy cavalry has when charging, Cao Chun is naturally clear, but in the jungle, if the enemy lays a tripwire, it will cause some trouble to the cavalry.
Two thousand foot soldiers, looking vigilant, came towards the jungle, along the way was really as Cao Chun expected, there were many soldiers, their task was not only to find out the situation of the enemy army, but also the rope in their hands also explained their identity.
Cheng Pu gave an order, and the hidden two thousand Jiangdong troops were killed together, this was in the jungle, and the movement of the cavalry was restricted to a certain extent, which made Cao Chun angry, otherwise in the face of the two thousand Jiangdong army, only one charge of the tiger cavalry was needed, and the Jiangdong army could be defeated.
The Cao army was brave, the Jiangdong army was defeated and retreated, this jungle was not big, and after half an hour, the Jiangdong army drove out of the jungle for the Cao army.
Seeing this, Cao Chun did not hesitate at all and ordered the heavy cavalry to charge, but the Jiangdong Army fled directly north after leaving the jungle.
