Chapter 235: Marionette

At the same time, although Yuan Shu ordered the 20,000 defenders of Nanshan to be divided into four armies and defend the four directions, but at this moment, the general order had just arrived, and none of them had reached Weicheng and Weishui Pass.

Therefore, Dian Wei personally led three hundred armor soldiers out of the pass to pursue Yuan Shu's army, and naturally he would not encounter obstacles, after all, Yuan Shu had just won Ancheng and Weicheng, and he had not yet had time to urgently arrange troops to defend, not to mention that Yuan Shu's tens of thousands of troops were close at hand, and Yuan Shu was not afraid of Guo Jia going out of the customs to rob the camp.

Although this is the case, but Dian Wei led three hundred soldiers to gallop all the way, but also encountered a large number of enemy horses, Dian Wei relied on the horse fast, the halberd captured two people, a question to know, the enemy army to explore the horse to spy on Cao Jun Yanzhou.

Dian Wei immediately sent his soldiers to report the news to Guo Jia of Weishui Pass, and continued to lead the soldiers to rush to the direction of the Wei River.

At the same time, the soldiers on both sides of the Weihe River were still fighting fiercely, but the situation had become clear, Xiahou Yuan led troops to attack the enemy camp upstream, and returned with a great victory, punishing the enemy army and setting fire to the camp.

Then immediately led all the generals under his command to gallop to the enemy's midstream camp, first attacked with Yu Ban, defeated the enemy's upstream reinforcements, and then brought Yu Ban, and Li Dian and Le Jin surrounded the enemy army in the middle reaches, and after a fierce battle, except for a small number of enemy soldiers who fled, the rest were killed.

As for Cao Chun, who was fighting thousands of enemy soldiers in the lower reaches, he seemed to be a little at ease, for no other reason, Cao Chun made a suspicious plan and falsely claimed that there were 10,000 soldiers under his command.

Cao Chun rode out of the battle alone, invited the enemy to fight, the enemy was angry, and even sent out three generals but no one was Cao Chun's enemy, and the battle was over, Cao Chun's morale was victorious, and the enemy's morale was low to an extreme.

Cao Chun also ordered his soldiers to beat the war drums violently, shouted in unison, and asked the enemy army to fight, but the enemy army was afraid and could not defend it.

That's it, he hit Cao Chun's plan, because what Cao Chun had to do was only need to delay the troops of Yuan Shu's lower reaches, and at this moment, he had already done it.

Not long after, it was already dusk, and suddenly there was a report from the Malay: "General Cao, our army has completely annihilated the enemy's army, go to the camp, and at this moment the main general has led the army to cross the river by boat, and the main general ordered the soldiers to cross the river as soon as possible." ”

Cao Chun said with a smile: "A certain know, what are the casualties of our army?" ”

The Tanma's face was a little gloomy, and he sighed lightly: "Three thousand brothers. ”

"Okay, you can return to the commander, and you will lead the army across the river." Cao Chun laughed loudly again, waved his big hand, and immediately led the soldiers under his command to retreat slowly.

In this battle, Cao's army killed nearly 7,000 enemies and lost 3,000 soldiers, which can be said to have completely annihilated the 4,000 defenders of Yuan Shu's middle camp in the Weihe River and the 3,000 defenders upstream.

As for the remaining downstream battalion of Yuan Shujun, there are still 3,000 soldiers at this moment, but they are no longer able to turn the tide, perhaps because of Cao Chun's suspicious tactics, the frightened soldiers of Yuan Shujun's downstream soldiers did not dare to send reinforcements by waterway, or maybe because of others, the soldiers of Yuan Shujun's lower reaches have not been able to defend and have never pursued.

As for Cao Chun's retreat, there is also a way, even if he wants to cross the river quickly, but he can't be sloppy, Cao Chun ordered the soldiers to catch a few beasts, and then tied them to the war drums, the beasts kept kicking their legs, and the sound of war drums still shook the sky.

By the time the soldiers in the lower camp of Yuan Shu's army found out, it was already too late, and Cao Chun had already led his soldiers across the river at that time.

From the launch of the offensive by Cao Jun to the retreat of Cao Chun's troops, it only took two hours.

Although this is the case, but at this moment, the sky is already dark, as for Yuan Shu, although he led the army to support quickly, but it is also far away, and they are all foot soldiers, and the distance has not yet reached half of the journey at this moment.

At this time, Tan Ma Lai reported: "The Wei River was defeated, the middle camp and the upper camp were all annihilated, and the Cao army had crossed the river and headed south." ”

"What!" Yuan Shu was shocked, like a thunderbolt from the sky, he really couldn't believe in his heart, 10,000 soldiers against 10,000 Cao troops, since the defeat was so fast, the defeat was so incredible.

Yuan Shu was furious, and immediately shouted angrily: "The whole army is annihilated!" Damn it! Even if they stand and let the thief chop, they may not be cut in two hours! Yuan Shu's emotions in his heart at the moment are indescribable, he was in a good mood after winning three games, but he discovered Guo Jia's strategic intentions, and now there are only three thousand defenders left in Weihe, how can he not be angry.

Zhou Yu immediately rode his horse to Tanma and asked, "What are the casualties of the Cao army?" He asked about Cao Jun's casualties, naturally because he could rely on Cao Jun's casualties to estimate Cao Jun's combat strength and Cao Jun's future strategy.

"About three thousand." Tanma replied with a ashamed face.

Yuan Shu suddenly drew his sword out of the sheath, the sword came out, and passed through his chest, and the young general of the horse probe gushed blood from his mouth, looked at Yuan Shu with fear and deep doubt, opened his mouth, but said nothing. But looking at that expression, it seems to ask, lord, why did you kill me?

"Rubbish! A bunch of rubbish! has been defended, the same troops, but there are such casualties, what is the use of staying and waiting! Yuan Shu waved his hand, his face was hideous, and his mouth was constantly scolding.

"Ugh." Zhou Yu sighed when he saw this scene, he knew that it must be Cao's military plan after hearing the Cao army's casualties, otherwise how could he have such combat power, he just wanted to ask Cao Jun what strategy he used, but he was unexpectedly killed by Yuan Shu with a sword, and his heart was helpless.

"Not good!" Zhou Yu was suddenly startled, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Lord, the Cao army is scheming, so quickly broke through the Weihe defense line, if Zhou's prediction is good, Cao Ren, the main general of the Cao army, will definitely lead his troops out of the city to support the Wei River, if so, the 30,000 soldiers of our army are afraid of their plans!" ”

After hearing this, Yuan Shu was not crazy, but stupid, stunned for a moment, and suddenly roared: "A bunch of waste! Cao Jun's plan again! ”

Zhou Yu also raised a nameless fire in his heart, he never expected that Guo Jia's backhand was like this, Nanshan lost three games in a row, abandoned two cities, and poured out of the nest in order to surprise the defenders of Weihe and the Yuan Shu army soldiers in the hinterland of Yuzhou.

Such a method of using soldiers is really incredible, because this method is too unreasonable, and there is no chance of victory.

Zhou Yu suddenly laughed at himself, he knew in his heart that all his strategic layouts were falling into Guo Jia's calculations, and he, Zhou Gongjin, was like a marionette of Guo Jia, under Guo Jia's control.

This feeling actually appeared in a self-confessed scheming Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu's mood in his heart can be imagined.

"Report! Lord, the rear army was attacked, and there were about thousands of soldiers and horses of Cao's army! Suddenly, a young general galloped in again.

"Fart!" Yuan Shu was furious when he heard the rear end, and couldn't help but roar angrily: "Where did Cao Jun get those soldiers and horses!" ”

"Lord...... My lord, the commander of the army said that there were thousands of people......" The Tanma immediately explained.

Zhou Yu immediately bowed his hand and said: "My lord, this is Guo Fengxiao's plan to disturb the enemy, and it must be to lure our army back to defend and support, if so, the Wei River is already in danger in the south." ”

"Oh? What does Gong Jin think? Yuan Shu asked sideways.

"The lord can lead the army to cross the Wei River south to support the soldiers of our army, and he is willing to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to the Lord's decision!" Zhou Yu arched his hand.
