Chapter 33: The Epistles
In a moment, the people had arrived in front of the army, Wang Dali turned over and dismounted, and was led in front of Cao Cao, Xiahou next to him was secretly on guard, and his face was a little unhappy.
Wang Dali arched his hand and said: "Cao Gong, I was ordered by the military division, and when I waited here for a long time, the military division said, let Cao Gong join the remnants of the army, temporarily retreat three miles along the river, and wait for the enemy soldiers on the opposite side to cross half of the crossing, and the military division led the troops to attack it together with Cao Gong." ”
"Good!" Cao Cao was overjoyed, he was well versed in the art of war, and the soldiers crossed more than half of the crossing and struck it, this victory also, the flag died down, and the soldiers waited for the soldiers to cross the halfway crossing, and the ambush soldiers were killed together, and these two victories were also.
Cao Cao was in high spirits, and the flames of war were ignited in his heart, and he ordered the soldiers on the left and right to act according to the plan, while he got on his horse and looked at the enemy army, pretending to want to die with the enemy.
Xu Rong is also a general under Dong Zhuo, who has lived in Xiliang for a long time and has experienced countless battles, how can he not know the art of war of attacking him after crossing the army.
It's just that he saw that Cao Cao only had 200 remnants of the defeated army, and he was already on the verge of dying together, so he didn't think about it and waved his army across the river to attack and kill.
When Xu Rong's army had crossed the river for a third of the time, the sudden shouting of killing shook the sky, and the war drums beat together, Xu Rong looked around, only to see that the battle flags were suddenly fluttering in the woods on both sides of the opposite bank, and countless armor soldiers went down the mountain to kill the pioneers who had crossed the river.
In the middle of the opposite bank, it was dusty, and as far as the eye could see, about a few thousand cavalry held high the Yuanzi battle flag, and also rushed towards the vanguard of crossing the river.
Xu Rong was shocked, you must know that there are only 40,000 or 50,000 cavalry in Dong Zhuo's 300,000 army, and, one, this, read # novel xstxt At this time, there were thousands of cavalry ambushed on the other side of the river, and they were holding high the banner of Yuan Zi, which must be Yuan Shao's main force.
Secretly said that he had a plan, and quickly ordered the withdrawal of the army, and in his heart he had already given up the six or seven thousand soldiers who had crossed the Bianshui.
Cao Cao turned his head and looked, overjoyed, judging from the number of cavalry, it must be Yuan Benchu's army, raised the sword in his left hand, and shouted: "Sons and daughters of the Cao family, Yuan Benchu's 30,000 coalition troops have arrived, and it is the time for us to take revenge and kill the enemy!" ”
"Kill!" Cao Cao slapped his horse and shouted hysterically.
The more than 200 soldiers in Cao Cao's headquarters are definitely the elite of the elite, with a total of 5,000 people in the headquarters, and they were ambushed by Xu Rong's 20,000 troops.
Xu Rongzhong's vanguard troops, who had already crossed the river, saw countless Yuan soldiers and thousands of cavalry rushing in the distance, while Xu Rong, the commander of his own army, had ordered the withdrawal of troops, and the vanguard troops were immediately chaotic.
Before the battle began, some of the timid soldiers had already begun to enter the water, trying to escape back to the other side, but unfortunately, these soldiers had just swam through the water, and they did not have much strength on their bodies.
On the other hand, Yuan Jun was waiting for work at ease, and his morale was high, and the results were obvious.
Cao Cao led his troops and horses to gather with reinforcements and killed the shore together, and the 200 soldiers under his command can be said to be one as ten, and they are unstoppable.
The Dong army collapsed at the first touch, and countless people were killed, drowned, and killed by random arrows in the river.
The first battle was decided, and the Yuan army suffered 500 casualties and 4,000 beheaded!
For the rest of Cao Cao's life, his mentality calmed down, and he found that there were not as many soldiers around him as he imagined, so he hurriedly grabbed a general of Yuan Shaojun next to him and asked: "Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, who is the commander of your army?" ”
As soon as the general wanted to speak, he saw that the commander of the headquarters had arrived, raised his hand and pointed: "That is the chief general of our army, Captain Guo, please take care of yourself." ”
Cao Cao looked up and saw a young man wearing a cyan Confucian shirt, with a young face and a thin figure, sitting on a high-headed horse and commanding all the troops and horses to clean up the battlefield with a calm demeanor.
This person is not Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao, who else will there be?
Cao Cao patted his horse forward and said: "Fengxiao, quickly send cavalry across the river to chase and kill, and the infantry will then cover and kill, Dong Zhuojun has no fighting spirit, and a battle can be decided!" ”
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Do you think I brought soldiers and horses?" ”
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, hurriedly glanced around and asked, "More than 10,000 people?" ”
Guo Jia smiled and said nothing.
Cao Cao was shocked, and after looking around carefully, he said, "There are only three thousand!" What about your cavalry? ”
Cao Cao was shocked, just now he clearly saw thousands of cavalry coming from the dust, how could he disappear, could it be that Fengxiao would be a demon?
Guo Jia seemed to see Cao Cao's doubts, and explained: "Soldiers, treacherous, pay attention to the truth and reality, I only have 300 cavalry in my headquarters, but I let the cavalry tie branches at the tail of the horse, and the dust and smoke are billowing between the gallops, like thousands of troops!" ”
Cao Cao exclaimed, his heart said, with 3,000 soldiers and horses dared to ambush 20,000 troops, the soldiers crossed more than half of the crossing and attacked it, this is the day, the enemy army was water, it is a taboo for soldiers, and the soldiers are tired, this is the geographical advantage, and with 300 cavalry to blow up thousands of troops and horses to scare the enemy's mind, shocked the enemy's morale is completely gone, this is human.
Waiting for work, half-crossing and attacking, the three-way ambush soldiers opened the net, and they were already suspected of being Yuan Shao's main force, scaring away the enemy.
"Order all departments, clean up the battlefield in half an hour, and return to the camp with the army!" Guo Jia said a word to the flag bearer beside him, and then turned his horse away.
Although Cao Cao wanted to catch up with Guo Jia, he knew Yuan Shao's character, so he had to give up, gather the remnants, and did not follow Guo Jia back to the sour jujube camp.
"Mengde, the guard asked me to give you this letter." Seeing that there was no one around, Xiahoudun leaned over to Cao Cao and whispered.
Cao Cao took the letter.
"Brother Mengde."
"I have a close friend, surnamed Xun Mingyu Wenruo, ten times more talented than me, I am willing to vote for you, I hope to treat him well."
"I owe you a favor, and Guo paid it back." Cao Cao also drew a smiling expression next to this sentence.
"Yuan Benchu sent someone to spy on me, and I didn't dare to say much to Brother Meng De." There was also a fiery expression next to him.
"After Brother Meng De returned to the camp, he could scold me, and Yuan's original mustard had been eliminated." There was also an extremely exaggerated expression of looking up to the sky and laughing next to him, as if Guo Jia had seen others being tricked, and he was complacent and laughed.
At the end, it is written: "Feng Xiao bowed his hand." A small figure was drawn next to him, in the shape of an arched hand.
Cao Cao had mixed feelings in his heart, he really couldn't figure it out, Guo Jiaming knew that Yuan Shao was wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, and was indecisive, but he still wanted to stay by his side.
He also has some expectations, the Xun Yu in Guo Jia's mouth, although he has had a few encounters with Xun Yu before, he doesn't know Xun Yu's ability, and he hasn't even heard of it, so he is a little curious.
He regretted it even more, at that time in the inn, why was he so reckless, if he could be a corporal of Lixian, maybe he Guo Jia was already beside him, green plum cooking wine, talking about the world.
Xingyang is three days away from sour jujubes, and at night, Guo Jia ordered the whole army to set up camp.
In the marching tent, Wang Dali said: "Military division, the five army commanders all have secret letters presented to Yuan Shao. ”
"Alas!" Guo Jia sighed, both angry and disappointed in his heart, he was so kind to Yuan Shao, and he still sent people to spy on him, this feeling of being distrusted was very unhappy.
Guo Jiasi thought about it, took out a pen and paper, and prepared to write a letter to Yuan Shao.
