In the face of absolute strength, any intrigue is in vain. Liu Xie regarded Cao Cao as his biggest enemy, in order to be able to defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop, Liu Xie was considered to be the best this time, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Pang De, Dian Wei These battlefield killers did not pull him down, and brought them all to the battlefield.

What temptation? No, you don't! The victory or defeat in a battle is decided, either you die or you die, Liu Xie didn't plan to drag on time with Cao Cao at all, and took advantage of Cao Cao's lack of understanding his routine for a while, so as to hit with one blow. In order to take Cao Cao's head, Liu Xie even took out the Marquis of Wanhu as a reward.

Yongqiu

Cao Cao came all the way over, constantly collecting county troops, and when he arrived in Yongqiu, his soldiers and horses had exceeded 200,000, and Cao Cao had a slight advantage in numbers. But when the two armies faced each other and watched the murderous spirit of the Han army, Cao Cao couldn't help but be slightly stunned, feeling that today's temptation might not be fruitful.

With the sound of war drums, the Han army launched an attack first, and Cao Cao could only see the move. According to the rules, the two armies should first debate verbally to seize the moral high ground, then the generals should fight to boost their morale, and finally the whole army should launch a general attack.

Why doesn't this Liu Xie play cards according to the routine? As a result, Cao Cao's homework prepared last night was useless. Seeing that the Han army launched an attack, Cao Cao could not stand there and be beaten, and with Cao Cao's order, the Cao army also launched a counter-charge against the Han army.

The Han army took Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Pang De as the vanguard, and the three-way cavalry was divided into three arrows to pierce the Cao army's large array, followed by Dian Wei, Tai Shici, and Gan Ning followed, further tearing apart the Cao army's large array. Although the Cao army had Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, Yu Ban, Le Jin and other generals to organize stubborn resistance, they could not resist the iron hooves of the Han army after all, and they were defeated and retreated.

"Ming Gong, please hurry up and mingle gold." Guo Jia said to Cao Cao urgently.

"Fengxiao, I want to Mingjin, but Liu Xie must also allow me to withdraw from the army. This guy is so insidious! Now it's up to who can make it to the end. Cao Cao said and drew his sword, raised his head and shouted to the Cao soldiers around him: "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!" Soldiers, kill the enemy with me! After speaking, without waiting for Guo Jia to dissuade him, Cao Cao took the lead and rushed into the battle array. Guo Jia couldn't help but be anxious when he saw it, but he was weak and needed someone to take care of him when he went into battle, so it was better to stay and command the overall situation for Cao Cao so as not to add to the chaos.

The so-called bystander is clear, Guo Jia is outside the battlefield, and he naturally sees the situation on the battlefield clearly, he can see it clearly, Liu Xie has no intention of going down with Cao Jun at all, he wants to win the battle or lose. Although I don't know why Liu Xie is so eager to defeat the Cao army, I have to admit that Liu Xie's surprise did achieve the goal, and most of the Cao army fell into the formation and was divided and surrounded by the Han army. In particular, the six generals of the Han army rushed left and right in the formation with soldiers and horses, killing the Cao army and wailing all over the field.

Before the war, Guo Jia had already had an assessment of the combat power of the Han army, but now it seems that that assessment is still low. It is worthy of being able to open up the Western Regions and pacify the northwest of the Han Dynasty, and the combat power it has exerted is simply incredible. You must know that Cao Jun has always been invincible in the Central Plains, but he doesn't want to encounter a stubble that is more ruthless than them today.

At the beginning, Cao Cao incorporated the Qingzhou Yellow Turban and selected the elite to form the Qingzhou soldiers, Guo Jia thought that the Cao army was unparalleled in foot, but when he met the Han army today, he understood the meaning of the phrase that a mountain is still a mountain high. The cavalry led by the cavalry generals of the Han army, whether it is riding skills or cooperation with each other, is stronger than the elite tiger and leopard cavalry of the Cao army, perhaps slightly lacking in personal martial arts, but large-scale cavalry combat, the level of personal martial arts is almost negligible.

Seeing that Cao Jun had fallen in an all-round way, Guo Jia couldn't help but retreat. In today's battle, Guo Jia originally had similar thoughts to Cao Cao, wanting to take this opportunity to explore the reality of the Han army, but he didn't want the Han army to act like this. It's like a gambler who wants to try his luck at the beginning of the game, but doesn't want to give him a stud directly at home.

"Not good!" Seeing that his father-in-law was under siege, Guo Jia couldn't help but secretly scream that it was not good. Xu Chu, who was in charge of protecting Guo Jia's safety on the side, couldn't help but say to Guo Jia at this time: "Military advisor, it's better for me to take someone to pick up the lord back." ”

"Wait." Guo Jia took a closer look and found that Cao Cao could still hold on, and a bold idea couldn't help but pop up in his mind, beckoning someone to help him climb high and look into the distance, check the situation on the Han army's side, and ask Xu Chudao: "Zhongkang, do you have the courage to take someone to the Han army's main formation to say hello to today?" ”

"Huh? Strategist, what should I do with the lord? ”

Guo Jia explained: "Zhongkang, if the Son of Heaven is attacked, the Han army will definitely be in chaos, and the lord will naturally be safe when he arrives. ”

"Okay, just follow the military division. However, if the lord has a bad pool, the military advisor will not blame Xu Chu for being rude. ”

"Zhong Kang, if the lord has something to do, Guo Jia will never live alone."

"Okay, take care of the military advisor, Xu Chu will leave."

"Zhongkang, remember not to be careless." Guo Jia said uneasily.

……

"Huh?" Liu Xie, who was watching the battle with clairvoyance, suddenly sighed, because a group of Cao cavalry bypassed the edge of the battlefield and went straight to kill him.

"Order, the generals will fight bravely to kill the enemy, I don't need to pay attention to them here." Liu Xie immediately ordered the herald soldiers. On the battlefield, messaging can be cumbersome, and the best way to do this is to use different war drums or the wave of flags as a means of heralding.

Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and others originally planned to return to the army to rescue, but after hearing the military order from the formation, they immediately dealt with the opponent in front of them wholeheartedly. Don't look at Liu Xie's usual giggling, but when it comes to business, it is completely official, making mistakes and hitting the board, saying that he will hit a hundred, but he will never play eighty.

"Lord, that Cao army is approaching." Li Ru reminded Liu Xiedao.

"Hmm." Liu Xie responded, and then said to a general beside him with a smile: "General Ju Yi, I have long heard that you have long heard that the white horse righteousness of Gongsun Zhan, who was fought by the first deceased soldier, collapsed from the ground, and today I don't know if I am fortunate enough to see the demeanor of the first deceased soldier with my own eyes?" ”

"Ju Yi takes the order." Ju Yi clenched his fists and replied.

Why did Ju Yi appear in Liu Xie's camp? That was naturally the result of Liu Xie's personal visit. Ju Yi was originally a stable person, he left his hometown in the past year and went to Jizhou to join the army, he was Han Fu's general, Yuan Shao became the pastor of Jizhou, and Ju Yi also voted for Yuan Shao with Fu Zhu and others. It's just a pity that Yuan Shao is a person who is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, and Ju Yi has committed the taboo of being a courtier, Yuan Shao can't tolerate Ju Yi, who is a master of high merit, and intends to kill him. Fortunately, he was able to intercede for him, and he escaped. However, Ju Yi was also disheartened by the officialdom, and later after repaying the favor of the trial, Ju Yi left Hebei.

Ju Yi wanted to go home to farm, but he lost his life, but fate was going to work against him. The Ju family is also a stable family, and finally Ju Yi, a child of a family with great talents, is willing to let him farm at home. Five times and three times of door-to-door persuasion, the result alarmed Liu Xie.

As soon as Liu Xie heard that it was Ju Yi who defeated Gongsun Zan and Baima Yicong by virtue of the first deceased soldier, he immediately visited him in person. Liu Xie is the Son of Heaven, no matter how good Ju Yi is, he will not dare to be rude to Liu Xie. The cow does not drink water and presses its head! Liu Xie didn't give Ju Yi a chance to refuse at all, and directly brought him back to Chang'an. If you want someone to give it, ask for money and give money, ask for one, and train for him a first-class soldier who can defeat the cavalry.

Ju Yi originally planned to be perfunctory, but after seeing Liu Xie's sincerity, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. He is a martial artist after all, and he is used to holding knives and guns with both hands, and where is he used to holding a hoe.

This time to send troops, Liu Xie didn't want to take Ju Yi with him, after all, Ju Yi's first death soldiers were still short of time, Liu Xie was worried that it would be difficult to play a role on the battlefield, but Ju Yi insisted again and again, and was even willing to make a military order. Liu Xie had no choice but to take Ju Yi with him and take charge of his own safety with Gao Shun's trapping camp.

Ju Yi led the Deng's death soldiers to set up a position in front, and Gao Shun immediately commanded the trapping camp to set up a second line of defense. Xu Chu also led the cavalry to the front at this time.

"Shoot the arrows!" Ju Yi shouted, and the three thousand Xiandeng dead soldiers were divided into three rows, taking turns to shoot, and a rain of arrows poured down on the cavalry led by Xu Chu. The best way to deal with cavalry is to ride against ride, and if you can't do it with ride-on-horse, then it's best to use a bow and crossbow for sniping. Ju Yi's first death soldiers used crossbows, and they were also crossbows jointly developed by Ma Jun, Huang Chengyan and others, ten crossbow boxes at a time, and three thousand people used the three-stage shooting method, which could shoot 10,000 arrows at a time, and there was no pause in between.

Although the cavalry led by Xu Chu was the elite of the Cao army, it could not withstand the baptism of the Han army's arrow rain, and the original team of 2,000 people, after rushing through the arrow rain of the first deceased, the Cao soldiers who still charged with Xu Chu were less than 200.

"Kill!" Xu Chu, who was hit by several arrows, raised his sword and shouted violently.

"Raise your guns like a forest!" With Gao Shun's order, the soldiers who took over the camp first raised their spears in unison. Squatting in one row and standing in two rows, the spear in his hand stretched forward, becoming a wall of guns in front of Xu Chu. Xu Chu knew that he would definitely turn into a skewer just like this, so he had to order and shout: "Turn!" ”

Xu Chu wanted to bypass the gun array of the trapped camp, but before he could lead the people to completely break away, he was intercepted by a cavalry, and the trapped camp was quickly outflanked from behind, and it was about to form an encirclement of Xu Chu. Once completely surrounded, Xu Chu will become a turtle in an urn, and it will be difficult to escape.

At this moment, there was a rush of golden sounds from Cao Jun's main formation, and Xu Chu immediately made a decision after hearing it, and took dozens of horsemen who were still alive to break through desperately and return to the formation.

"It's a shame." Seeing Xu Chu run away, Liu Xie said with some regret.

"Lord, Cao Jun is golden." Li Ru reminded on the side.

"Ming, Ming, he Ming, I'll hit mine. Heralds, drums! ”

“…… Lord, this seems to be a bit unruly. Li Ru said with some sweat on his forehead. From the beginning of knowing Liu Xie, Li Ru knew that this was not a master who liked to play cards according to common sense, but he didn't expect that until today, this habit has not changed.

"Wenyou, you know what? Rules are meant to be broken. The order went down, and the armies fought bravely and pursued and killed Cao's army. By the way, remind Zhang Liao, pay attention to Chen Liu's movements, and don't let Cheng Yu's gang take the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole. ”

……

"This damn bastard!" Cao Cao, who had just retreated to his own camp under the protection of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, couldn't help but scold when he saw the Han army killing.

Everyone knows who Cao Cao is scolding, but no one is in the mood to scold Cao Cao at the moment. Now that the defeat is decided, the only way is to get out of this place first, and then regroup and fight again in the future.

"Mengde, go quickly, I'll break off with Miaocai." Xiahoudun helped Cao Cao onto his horse, and after greeting him, he led Xiahou Yuan to chase after him and kill the Han army.

"Yuan Rang, Miaocai!" Seeing this, Cao Cao just wanted to chase after him, but Guo Jia grabbed the reins of the horse tightly, "Duke Ming, don't let General Xiahou's sacrifice be in vain, leave quickly." ”

Cao's army was defeated all the way, and the Han army chased it for thirty miles in one go before collecting troops and returning to the camp. Cao Cao escaped, and in the face of such a situation, he couldn't help crying. More than 200,000 horses, although more were killed and scattered than those killed and captured, but these horses were his own hard work, and they were lost like this, how could Cao Cao not be sad.

The failure of the two soldiers and horses that Cao Cao had high hopes for, the tiger and leopard cavalry and the Qingzhou soldiers, made Cao Cao a little disheartened, and the strongest men and horses under his command were not opponents of the Han army, how to face the crusade of the Han army in the future.

"Ming Gongxiu should be discouraged, Shouchun Lusu still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, since the Han army is unparalleled in the field, then we can only stick to the city, wait for Yuan Xi and Sun Ce to send troops, and the three will work together to resist the imperial court." Guo Jia comforted Cao Cao softly.

"Fengxiao, the loss of soldiers and horses is still secondary, and the key is the loss of generals in the army. Now that Zixiao is trapped in Chen Liu, our defeat, Chen Liu is bound to be difficult to protect. If Zixiao, Zhongde, and Yuanlong are wrong......" Cao Cao said with a bitter face.

"Ming Gong, don't be discouraged, although our army lost this battle, it can also sound the alarm for Hebei and Jiangdong, if Yuan Xi and Sun Ce don't want him to repeat the mistakes of our Cao army, they will do their best to help. At present, the key for our army is to stabilize its position and restore the morale of the army. We have lost it today, and we will ask the court for it in the future. ”

“…… Fengxiao, thanks to you, otherwise I don't know if I still dare to fight. ”

……

The words are divided into two ends

Cao Jun was counting the losses, and Liu Xie was counting the spoils, and the armor and horses were put aside, Liu Xie didn't care very much, but this war captured several generals of the Cao Army, which made Liu Xie smile very much. Yu Ban, Le Jin, and Li Dian, these three members were respectively called Pang De, Gan Ning, and Tai Shici to be captured, and in addition to these three people, Dian Wei caught the biggest fish in this battle, and he caught Xiahou Yuan. It's a pity that Xiahoudun and Xu Chu ran away, but even so, capturing these four people was a big blow to Cao Jun.

"Take them all down to be healed, don't let them die." Liu Xie didn't plan to recruit them now, so he didn't waste that effort. I have to admit that Cao Cao's trick of winning over his subordinates is still very effective, and before Cao Cao is completely killed, trying to persuade Xiahou Yuan and others to surrender is purely self-deprecating. Liu Xie didn't have the habit of scolding, and he didn't have a reason to kill Xiahou Yuan and the others, so he naturally avoided the pre-battle persuasion.

Cao Cao was defeated and retreated, and there was no need for Chen Liu to continue to stay, Liu Xie ordered Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Pang Debu to rest on the spot, and he took Tai Shici, Gan Ning, Dian Wei and others to take Cao Jun's prisoners to Chen Liu.

Cheng Yu and the others had already heard the movement outside the city, and they wanted to go out of the city to help the lord, but they didn't want Zhang Liao to lead the Youyi army to wait for them. It was only when he saw that the Han army escorted the Cao army prisoners to the city, and Cheng Yu knew that his prayers had failed.

"Is it Mr. Cheng Yucheng in the city?" Liu Xie ordered people to escort him to the city, and asked the city with an iron horn in his hand.

"Exactly down there." Cheng Yu responded loudly, and then asked Cao Ren on the side in a low voice: "Zixiao, can you shoot?" ”

"No, that guy is out of range." Cao Ren shook his head with a wry smile.

"Since that......'s the case," Cheng Yu said this, and shouted outside the city: "Outside the city is the saint today." ”

"It's the widow."

"Can you take a few steps forward, and let me wait to pay homage to the Holy Glory." Cheng Yu asked again.

"No, if I come forward again, I'm afraid what you see will be my remains. If you want to see it, I'll let you see enough. Liu Xie replied loudly.

"Why did the Holy One say that?"

"Cheng Zhongde, don't you want to tell me, don't you know that you have arranged for the sharpshooters in the army to ambush properly, just wait for me to step forward and fire ten thousand arrows? Well, at this point, don't play around with that little cleverness. Now that your lord Cao Cao has been defeated by me, Chen Liu has become a lonely city, there are no reinforcements outside, no food and grass inside, I don't want to be ruined, you better open the city and surrender. ”

"Why should the Holy Lord talk and laugh, even if Chen Liu has no foreign aid for the time being, but the grain and grass in the city are enough for the army for a year, does the Holy Lord plan to besiege me Chen Liu for more than a year, not to mention whether my lord is defeated in this battle is not yet known, does the Holy Lord think that he can deceive me by finding some soldiers to pretend to be my Cao army soldiers?"

"Cheng Zhongde, you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin. Since you said that Cao Bing's captives can't make you believe it, I wonder if Xiahou Yuan, Yu Ban, Le Jin, and Li Dian can convince you? Liu Xie said with a gesture, and the Han army immediately launched four prisoner carts, each with a person sitting in it.

"Cheng Zhongde, can you see clearly? I know that you think that Chen Liucheng is high and deep and can hold on, but I want to tell you that you are wrong in this idea. Don't underestimate the productivity of the imperial court, the two hundred catapults that Cao Ren had people burn are nothing to the imperial court today. Not to mention 200, even 500, I can take it. ”

"In that case, why should the Holy One bother? Just attack. ”

"It's not a pity that you Cheng Zhongde died alone, but I feel sorry for the people in the city, those are my big Han people, how can I be buried with you, a chaotic minister and thief. I know that you are Cao Cao's loyal minister, and I don't want to embarrass you, as long as you hand over Chen Liu, you can leave with those who don't want to be my Han people, and I promise in front of everyone that I will not embarrass you. ”
