Chapter 311: There must be more than that
It has been several months since Cao Shuo established the Immortal Camp.
The 600 soldiers were all carefully selected veterans.
Every veteran is a soldier on the battlefield, but after entering the immortal camp, the battle they really participated in was to fight with Zhang Xiu for Ye County.
In that battle, Cao Shuo barely let them engage in a decent fight with the enemy.
The place where the soldiers of the immortal battalion really show their demeanor is only the school field.
Without fighting, without fighting, there is no so-called veteran.
Cao Shuo needs to lead them into battle and make them fight on the battlefield into an invincible blade!
finally understood Cao Shuo's intentions, and Guo Xin no longer adhered to the strategy of not fighting after entering the Chen State.
The country of Chen is not a city, but a region.
This cut off the connection between Xudu and the north.
Once Yuan Shu has been entrenched for a long time, he can use Chen Guo and Huainan to form a flank attack on Xu Du.
Cao Cao certainly wouldn't let Yuan Shu occupy this place.
As a pioneer, Cao Shuo's responsibility was originally to open the way and build bridges for the army.
Cao Shuo didn't plan to just do that!
Since he was ordered to come to Chen State, of course he had to drive Yuan Shu away!
Six hundred fast horses soon entered the territory of the Chen Kingdom.
Cao Shuo thought about Guo Xin and asked, "Miss Guo, we only have six hundred people, how can we make Yuan Shu think that there are six thousand?" ”
Guo Xin said: "Gongzi can find a place to live behind the mountain, and at night, send soldiers to light torches and open a bigger camp not far away." ”
"Build an empty camp?" Cao Shuo asked.
"Yes!" Guo Xin said: "It must be at night, and the soldiers who set up the camp must not be less than 300 people, and each of them must hold torches, and they can speak as loudly as they can." ”
"I just entered the Chen Kingdom, and I didn't even see the shadow of the Huainan Army." Cao Shuo said: "We make such a big fuss, can Yuan Shu know?" ”
"Before Gongzi entered the Chen Kingdom, Yuan Shu knew that you were coming!" Guo Xin said: "He's just observing to see what Gongzi's plans are." ”
"Since he knows I'm coming, he must know that I don't have many people with me." Cao Shuo said: "No matter how bluff you are, I'm afraid it's useless." ”
"Of course it works." Guo Xin said: "After setting up the camp, Gongzi deliberately let people know that it was an empty camp, don't send troops to garrison it, and don't even let any soldiers go there. Only at night did a bonfire be lit in that barracks. ”
"I think I get it!" Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "The truth is the truth, you want Yuan Shu to think that I deliberately disguised the fact that the army came here." ”
"Yuan Shu has long been a bird of frightening." Guo Xin said: "What he is most worried about is that Cao Gong will attack in a big way, Gongzi will let the soldiers build a new camp every night, and two or three days later he will challenge Yuan Shu with the immortal camp, he will definitely have scruples and find an opportunity to withdraw from Chen State." ”
"When the time comes, I will be waving my troops to attack, not only will the soldiers be trained, but I will also be able to kill Yuan Shu and lose his armor!" Cao Shuo said.
"Childe is right!" Guo Xin nodded.
"Miss Guo, you are really calculating!" Cao Shuo first praised Guo Xin, then approached her and asked in a low voice: "If you marry into the Cao family in the future, you won't use these eyes to trick me, right?" ”
Guo Xin's head was full of black lines.
is talking about military affairs, Cao Shuo can bring the topic to marriage.
Apart from him, Guo Xin really couldn't imagine that there would be anyone else like this.
I really don't understand if this second son of the Cao family is a little too confident and doesn't take the enemy into his eyes, or if he has a big heart, he can't think of what the consequences will be if he loses the battle.
In the next few days, Cao Shuo followed Guo Xin's suggestion and asked the soldiers to expand the camp every night.
On the evening of the third day, Yuan Shu once again received news of Cao Shuo's expansion of the camp.
He frowned, and asked Li Feng on the side: "Cao Zirong came to the Chen State, and he didn't fight, he just expanded the camp at night every day, do you think there is anything wrong?" ”
"I've been thinking about why Cao Zirong is doing this for the past two days." Li Feng said: "But after thinking about it, I still haven't come up with a result." ”
"Do you say that there are more than so many people in Cao Zirong's army?" Yuan Shu said: "On the surface, he has hundreds of people, but secretly there are more people hidden? ”
"It's not impossible!" Li Feng said: "But why did he do that? Even if he brings five thousand elite soldiers, he will not have as many as our army......"
"The point is not knowing how many of them there are." Yuan Shu said: "If Cao Zirong comes to challenge in the past two days, he will definitely bring a lot of people. If he just continues to do this, he is afraid of us and deliberately bluffing. ”
"It should be the latter." Li Feng said: "The scouts didn't report back how many soldiers and horses Cao Zirong had brought back. ”
"If all the news brought back by the scouts is reliable, no one will win or lose every time they fight." Yuan Shu said: "Let's see Cao Zirong's movement first, if he doesn't come to challenge, we will find an opportunity to challenge him first in two days." ”
"Your Majesty Mingjian!" Li Feng clenched his fists and said: "Cao Zirong would never have imagined that no matter what kind of plan he made, it had been expected by His Majesty, and this time the Cao family came to Chen State, he would definitely suffer a big loss in the hands of His Majesty!" ”
"If you can kill Cao Zirong, it will also give Cao Cao a dismount!" Yuan Shu smiled coldly: "Order the scouts, keep an eye on Cao Zirong'......"
As soon as the words fell, a guard came in from outside the door.
"Your Majesty." The guard clenched his fists and said, "Cao Zirong is fighting outside the city!" ”
Just as he was saying that he wanted the scout to pay close attention to Cao Shuo's movements, he ran over to fight, and Yuan Shu and Li Feng were stunned.
"It seems that Your Majesty guessed correctly!" Li Feng said: "Cao Zirong really brought not only so many soldiers and horses! ”
Yuan Shu asked the guard, "How many soldiers and horses did Cao Zirong bring?" ”
"Five or six hundred people, all cavalry!" The guard replied.
Yuan Shu gasped.
It's all cavalry......
When a large army goes on an expedition, even if it is a vanguard, it cannot be all cavalry!
Cao Shuo only brought five or six hundred cavalry over, and it was obvious that he had a secret deployment.
"Your Majesty, what should I do?" Li Feng asked.
"Let Qiao Rui lead the troops to meet the battle!" Yuan Shu said.
"How much?" Li Feng asked.
"Cao Zirong brings 600 people, then let Qiao Rui lead 2,000 people to fight." Yuan Shu said: "Six hundred cavalry, I still don't believe that I can defeat two thousand infantry troops!" ”
"I'll give the order." Li Feng responded and retreated.
It didn't take long for Yuan Shu's army to go out.
There were not many cavalry in this army, at most there were only more than two hundred people.
The war horses they rode were different from Cao Shuo's immortal camp.
The horses of the undead camp are all of northern blood, and their physique is high, which is suitable for charging into battle.
The war horses of the Huainan Army are southern horse breeds, which are very short and similar to the physique of donkeys.
