Chapter 178 Yu Ban skillfully uses bitter meat tricks

"Brother Wen Ze, why are you so troubled? Although the number of enemy troops is large, most of them are recruits forcibly recruited by Yuan Highway, and their combat effectiveness is low, and it is not difficult to break them head-on. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Cao Chun asked while galloping his horse and bowing his head in confusion.

Yu Ban gritted his teeth and replied with difficulty: "Having said that, it will definitely take more time. Zihe, you must know that every day we stay here, there will be more danger on the lord's side. Therefore, this battle must be fast, ruthless, or give our opponent any chance! ”

Cao Chun glanced at Yu Ban, who was full of pain, and sighed softly: "Even if you are right, but ......"

Yu Ban shook his head firmly, "Nothing! For the sake of the great cause of the Lord, don't say that this pain is this, even if you are broken bones, what is there to fear? ”

Cao Chun gritted his teeth, turned his head and glared viciously at Ji Ling, who was chasing not far behind him, gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely take off your neck with my own hands!" ”

Ji Ling, who was chasing and killing, didn't notice Cao Chun's hungry wolf-like gaze, but even if he saw it, he would only be indifferent to the little colonel and would never take it to heart.

Ji Ling had fought with Cao Jun many times, but never had he been as happy as he was now. For most of the time before, he was the one who was chased by Cao Jun, and he was never as high-spirited as he is now.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, this is probably a true portrayal of Ji Ling's heart at the moment.

Unconsciously, Ji Ling and the high-spirited soldiers of Yuan Jun behind him followed the fleeing Cao Army and chased them into a valley.

After all, he is also a battlefield veteran, and Ji Ling still has the most basic sense of smell. Seeing the speed of Cao Jun's escape, it seemed to slow down, and then looking up and seeing the rugged cliffs in the troubled times, Ji Ling's heart shook violently, and secretly said that it was not good, and he just wanted to command the soldiers and horses to retreat, but it was too late.

Cao Chun, who had already been holding back the fire in his belly, how could he let Ji Ling escape easily? You know, this is what Yu Ban brought him in after fighting for his life.

Gently handing over the ban to his own soldiers to take care of, Cao Chun suddenly drew his sword in his hand, raised it above his head, and pointed heavily in the direction of Ji Ling, and then heard the sound of killing on the cliff, countless arrows, rocks, and giant trees fell from the sky, pouring down like a black cloud rainstorm.

"There is an ambush, withdraw! Evacuate! ”

Ji Ling was very secretly in his heart, but he couldn't regret it, turned the horse's head, and while struggling to block and dodge, he shouted and gave orders in a hurry.

In fact, there is no need for Ji Ling to say much at all, and it is impossible for recruits with extremely poor discipline to keep calm in the face of disasters and keep in mind military regulations and military discipline.

However, the encirclement that Yu Ban has worked so hard to encircle, how can they come in when they want to, and go out when they want to? Sergeant Yuan, who cried for his father and called his mother, threw away all his burdens, and only thought about escaping for his life, and was about to escape from the valley, but what was waiting to greet them was a rain of arrows that were more dense and sharper.

The 5,000 Qingzhou soldiers trained by Yu Ban himself, each of which was carefully selected from the millions of people, was able to fight, never feared war, and was completely an elite division that grew up from blood.

Yuan Shu's forcibly recruited and hard-pulled miscellaneous army, in the face of such a war machine, how much resistance can there be? Although the instinct to survive made these recruits bloodthirsty and crazy, the Qingzhou soldiers were like an iron wall in front of them, and they couldn't break through even if they turned into a rushing torrent.

"What's going on? Why haven't you rushed out yet? ”

At this time, Ji Ling, where is there still the scenery not long ago, his face is panicked, and his cloak is more embarrassed and embarrassed.

The soldiers quickly brought back a desperate news that Cao's army had ambushed a heavy army at the valley mouth, which was impregnable and difficult to break through in a short time.

"Is this the heavens going to kill me?"

Ji Ling's heart was suddenly cold, and he raised his head in despair, only to see a flying stone the size of a millstone smashing down on his head.

Ji Ling, who didn't have time to dodge, or he said that he didn't want to hide anymore, snorted and spit out a mouthful of blood, fell off his horse, and died on the battlefield.

As soon as Ji Ling died, Yuan Jun, who had become a pot of porridge, completely lost hope of breaking through. Fifteen thousand people, except for a few lucky ones who escaped, most of them had their souls interrupted in this Broken Soul Valley.

After a simple bandage, he lay down and rested for a while, Yu Ban's face finally had a trace of blood, and his breath was much calmer, and he slowly stood up and looked at the valley like Shura Field with the support of his own guards, and sighed softly and said: "They are all crop men like you and me, the pillars of a family, and they are all the way of this **** world, forcing people to this job!" ”

Cao Chun gritted his teeth and walked over, and said with a face full of reluctance: "Ji Ling is dead, the army's heart has been moved, and the morale is completely gone, it is no longer possible to pose a threat to us, why don't Mingjin accept them for my use?" ”

Yu Ban shook his head slowly but firmly, "If it were normal times, I would naturally use these young and strong moves for my own use. However, this time our target is Wancheng, and there is no room for surprises. So, I can only be ruthless! ”

Cao Chun let out a long sigh, shook his head and turned to leave.

The main force of Commander Ji Ling was almost wiped out, and how could the deputy general who stayed behind to praise him be able to turn the tide? After the news came back, without any hesitation, he immediately led the soldiers and horses to turn around and fled.

However, in front of the net that had been prepared for the ban, he soon found in despair that all his efforts were in vain. can lead an army alone as a person with a foreign surname, and Yu Ban is definitely worthy of Cao Cao's trust and respect.

After encircling and annihilating the 5,000 remnants of Yuan's army along the way, Yu Ban, who dragged the sick body, regardless of his own safety, commanded the soldiers and horses and flew away in the direction of Wancheng.

At the same time that Yu Ban skillfully set up an ambush and broke the right flank of the Yuan army, Xiahou Dan, the commander of the Cao army on the other road, was not in a very beautiful mood. There was a big battle outside Yang'an City, and the battle was fought from dawn to nightfall, and the winner could not be distinguished. The battle between Cao and Yuan's armies can really be called dark, and the sun and moon are dark.

Xiahoudun is brave and good at fighting, and Zhang Xun on the opposite side is not incompetent, although he is much inferior to Cao Jun in terms of the overall quality of soldiers, but under Zhang Xun's command and dispatch, Yuan Jun stubbornly withstood Cao Jun's wave after wave of fierce attacks.

"More than 1,000 people were killed in the battle, more than 3,000 were seriously wounded, and countless were lightly wounded."

Xiahoudun gritted his teeth with a solemn expression and said: "I underestimated this Zhang Xun, he looks like a girl, and he is not ambiguous at all when he fights!" ”

Deputy General Lu Qianqiang squeezed out a smile and comforted: "Although the casualties of our army are not small, the casualties of Yuan's army will only be greater. ”

"Can that be the same?"

Xiahoudun angrily slapped the table and shouted: "The brothers under our hands are all veterans of a hundred battles who crawled out of the pile of dead people!" Follow the elite of the lord's southern expedition to the north! What is that under Zhang Xun's hands? All of them are forcibly recruited by the people of Yuan Thief Cong! ”

Lu Qian was speechless, and could only shake his head helplessly. Like Xiahoudun, he was also very aggrieved in his heart, and he couldn't understand why Yuan Jun, who was vulnerable in his previous impression, would burst out with such a strong combat effectiveness.

"That's it, anyway, the lord didn't expect me to win."

Xiahoudun waved his hand irritably, and said to Lu Qian: "Take advantage of the dark moonlight tonight, you can set up your troops and horses and go to Ancheng!" ”

Lu Qian gave up his hand and turned away.

Two days is a short time, but it is actually a long time.

At least for Yuan Shu, these two days have been extremely difficult. After listening to Yang Hong's suggestion, he patiently stood still, for Yuan Shu, who dreamed of dominating the world, it was really difficult to sit still.

He was able to stabilize because he concluded that Cao Cao would be more anxious than him, and he would lose his breath first and reveal his flaws. But what disappointed him was that in the past two days, Cao Jun's camp has not moved in the slightest.

If it weren't for the fact that a large amount of cooking smoke would rise from the opposite side every morning and evening, Yuan Shu would have suspected that Cao Jun had secretly withdrawn.

Regarding Yuan Shao's promise, Yuan Shu would not believe a word. Therefore, he decided that he still had to take the initiative and not pin his hopes on others, especially the person he hated the most.

Yang Hong, Yan Xiang on the left; On the right, Lei Bo, Chen Lan, Liang Gang.

Yuan Shu's expression was cold, and he swept around the civil and military forces under his command, and said categorically: "Yan Xiang, you send a letter to Cao Cao on my behalf, and it will be said that early tomorrow morning, I will make an appointment with him to hunt at the foot of Shenyang Mountain and fight it out!" ”

Yan Xiang hesitated, but gritted his teeth and said: "As Changshi said before, Cao Cao is now a turtle in an urn, and he can be caught with his hands, so why should the lord be in a hurry?" ”

Yuan Shu waved his hand impatiently and said, "Wait, wait, wait!" Is this world waiting for it? As soon as the thief doesn't come out, my heart will be uneasy every day! I've made up my mind, don't say more! ”

Yan Xiang insisted: "Cao Thief chose to camp on Shenyang Mountain, it seems that he has a condescending trend, but in fact, he has committed a taboo in the army, didn't the lord find out?" ”

"What?"

Yuan Shu blinked, frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly went over angrily and pulled Yan Xiang's collar and said angrily: "How many times have I told you, don't sell it to me!" You're taking my words for granted, aren't you? ”

Yan Xiang shook his head again and again with a pleading look on his face, and replied with difficulty: "Your Majesty doesn't dare, it's just that Your Majesty only found out just now. ”

"Humph!"

Yuan Shu let go of Yan Xiang at this time, and asked angrily, "Where is the flaw?" ”

Yan Xiang coughed for a while with a painful expression, and then he felt that he had picked up his life, and replied honestly: "It is not easy to get water when you camp in the mountains, as long as you cut off the water supply of Cao Jun, you will be able to easily break it!" ”
