Chapter 419: War of Atrition
"Lord, his subordinates are incompetent, Wen Chou has already taken the bait, but unfortunately Wen Chou was stopped by Yuan Jun again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" In Cao De's camp, Huang Zhong said with a regretful face.
Cao De waved his hand and said, "It's okay! It is not easy to capture Yan Liang this time, how can he hope to hold Wen Chou again! Don't worry, with Yan Liang here, Wen Chou can't run away! ”
Yan Liang has been captured!
Yes, Cao De didn't expect that Yan Liang would be captured so easily. You know, this is the second day of the war between Cao De and Yuan Shao.
If this situation continues to develop, it will not take ten days and half a month, and Yuan Shao will become the commander of the light pole!
At the beginning, according to Cao De's plan, when the Vermilion Bird Cavalry and the Flying Wolf Army surrounded the Yuan army who came to provoke, Yan Liang would not choose to lead a part of the elite to choose to break through.
However, Cao De never imagined that Yan Liang would actually fall into trouble with Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei.
During the war the day before yesterday, the combination of Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong scared Yan Liangwen away. Now there is only one Yan Liang left, how can he be the opponent of Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong.
And when Yan Liang was stabbed by Zhang Fei, Yan Liang stared and watched his guards bury Zhang Fei's spear and Huang Zhong's knife one by one like moths to a fire. Yan Liang had no choice but to surrender in order to save the lives of his guards!
And when Zhang Fei's personal guard put the knife on Yan Liang's neck, he saw that the main general Yuan Jun, who had been captured, also lost the confidence and desire to continue fighting.
Of the 20,000 soldiers Yan Liang brought out this time, most of the rest became Cao De's prisoners of war, except for the thousands who died in the battle.
After that, Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei discussed, in order to prevent further battles with Yuan's reinforcements, they didn't dare to stay longer, quickly cleaned up the battlefield, and withdrew to the camp.
Yan Liangwen is ugly, but Cao De has always dreamed of the two tiger generals. If Cao De hadn't gone one step late, I'm afraid Yan Liang and Wen Chou would have to be surnamed Cao!
Now, although Yan Liang has become a prisoner, Cao De does not plan to recruit Yan Liang immediately. Let's wait for Wen Chou to come and do political and ideological work together.
Cao De happily began to drink celebration wine, while Yuan Shao was not interested.
On the second day of the war, he lost a general, and Yuan Shao was sick no matter how happy he was drinking and singing.
However, Yuan Shao's nightmare has only just begun. Because, just when Yuan Shao was worried about how to redeem Yan Liang back, a battle report came from the east.
Cao Cao personally led an army of 100,000 and began to attack the eastern camp. In just one day, both sides lost nearly 10,000 men!
Yuan Shao's first reaction after receiving this battle report was, is Cao Cao crazy?
Cao Cao is not crazy, not only is he not crazy, but on the contrary, Cao Cao is very sober now.
The entire battlefield at the moment has not changed much from the past few days. However, now Yuan Shao went to the west to start a war with Cao De. Therefore, Cao De sent a letter to Cao Cao.
Yuan Shao is now on my side, and my brother's side is a group of dragons without a leader!
After Cao Cao received Cao De's letter, he hurriedly held an emergency temporary meeting. The final result was that Yuan Shao could go to the west to start a war with Cao De, and there must be someone here who could reassure Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao didn't have much effort to get a prisoner of Yuan Jun. Before he was tortured, Cao Cao knew that it was Zhang He, Gao Ran, and Guo Tu who were stationed in the eastern camp. Moreover, after Cao De also learned that the person who reassured Yuan Shao was not Zhang He but Guo Tu, Cao Cao decided!
made Yuan Shao completely no longer trust Zhang He. Personally rushed to the East Camp!
As a result, Cao Cao drew out an army of 50,000 and launched an attack on Yuan Shao's eastern camp at any cost.
After Zhang He, Guo Tu and Gao Ran arrived at Dongdaying, they followed Yuan Shao's instructions, focused on defense, closely followed Cao Cao's movements, and almost built the entire Dongdaying into a fortress covered in thorns.
However, no matter how hard the turtle's shell is, and how sharp and sharp the hedgehog's spines are, they are only defensive means and cannot attack.
Therefore, Cao Cao calmly drove the catapult to the vicinity of the East Daying, and slowly looked for the big stone while venting his fire to Yuan Shao's East Daying.
A sturdy turret can inflict heavy casualties on attacking soldiers, but for catapults with ultra-long range, the reverse is the case.
The terrifying catapult threw huge stones into the East Camp. The reinforced arrow towers and fences that Zhang He had built these days turned into a pile of ruins after half a day.
Xiahoudun and Yu Ban led 20,000 cavalry to launch a fierce attack on the Eastern Battalion, which was paralyzed by most of its defenses.
If it weren't for Zhang He and Gao Ran organizing soldiers to defend in time, I'm afraid Cao Cao's army would have been able to directly rush into Yuan Shao's eastern camp.
In the end, Cao Cao left behind more than 3,000 corpses and withdrew from Yuan Shao's eastern camp.
However, Tian Feng, who reacted, immediately ordered, but it was too late. 20,000 Yuan troops followed Cao Cao's pace and sent Cao Cao back to the camp.
Originally, according to Guo Tu's idea, he wanted to destroy Cao Cao's catapults. But as early as when Xiahoudun and Yu Ban led their troops to pass by, Cao Cao's catapult had already been pushed back to the camp.
The 20,000 Yuan army pounced, but fortunately, Cao Cao didn't expect the Yuan army to chase him out in time, so he didn't set up any ambush. Otherwise, Yuan Shao would have to lose another 20,000 troops.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of pocket money, you are afraid of settling accounts.
Thousands of people are lost today, thousands of people are lost tomorrow, and after ten days and half a month. Even if Yuan Shao has an army of 400,000, he can't withstand such consumption!
The western front is unfavorable, the eastern front is not smooth, and now Yuan Shao is sad to death, and he can't wait to split himself in half.
Now Yuan Shao has a feeling, a feeling that there is nowhere to be powerful. Yuan Shao always felt that he was controlled everywhere. When attacking, do not dare to attack all; When defending, they did not dare to send troops out of the city to attack the enemy.
Therefore, Yuan Shao has been very irritable these days, and Cao De has come to tease Yuan Shao from time to time, which makes Yuan Shao even more headache.
Cao De, this guy, is really shameless. Cao De reduced the entire Flying Wolf Ride to pieces. Some are based on a team of 100 people, and some are based on a team of 1,000 people, hanging outside Yuan Shao's camp anytime, anywhere, all the time.
Kill a few Yuan Shao's sentinels today, give Yuan Shao a wave of arrow rain gifts tomorrow, and attack Yuan Shao's rear army the day after tomorrow.
In short, in half a month, the flying wolf ride was not idle, and Yuan Shao was not idle. The Flying Wolf Rider was busy wreaking havoc everywhere, killing and killing; Yuan Shao was busy putting out fires everywhere.
Later, Yuan Shao also let go. You Cao De didn't send a small group of cavalry to harass you, I also scattered the cavalry and confronted them in batches. Let's see whose people's, let's start fighting losses. I'll kill you alive!
