Chapter 242: Weicheng's Legacy Scheme
"Caixian, Ancheng, like a thing in a bag, and Weicheng ......" Xun You suddenly looked sideways in the direction of Weicheng, and muttered: "I don't know if Fengxiao has a plan?" ”
Whether it was Xun You's speculation or trust in Guo Jia, Xun You didn't know in his heart, but he felt that Guo Jia would definitely have a backhand.
Not long after, the Cao army scattered, Sun Ce led the army into the city, at this moment the north gate of Cai County Chengchi was broken, and the remaining three gates were still holding on, although so, but some veterans who had been in battle for a long time knew in their hearts that Cai County had lost ......
Sun Ce crossed his guns and looked around, seeing that the Cao army was attacking like a tide, and although the soldiers under his command were also good at fighting, their numbers were obviously not the opponents of the Cao army, not to mention that the north gate had been lost, and they were already powerless to return to the sky.
"How's the Quartet going?" Sun Ce looked back and asked, he had already decided in his heart to abandon Cai County and lead the army to retreat, he didn't want to fight to the death for Yuan Shu's Wang Tu hegemony, not to mention that even if he fought to the death, how could he be the opponent of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Cao army?
As soon as Cheng Pu returned, he immediately surrendered his hand and said: "There are many enemy troops at the north gate, and the offensive is like a tide, although the soldiers of our army are fighting to the death, they are unable to recapture the north gate." ”
Cheng Puxin stepped forward, looked down at the city, and said: "There are still many enemy troops at the west gate of the city, and it is not easy to break through." ”
The head of the city where Sun Ce and Cheng Pu are located is the West Gate, so Cheng Pu only lowered his head to investigate, just to confirm it.
Cheng Pu arched his hand and said: "At this moment, only the South Gate and the East Gate are left, the enemy offensive at the South Gate is not strong, it seems to be a feint, and the East Gate offensive is as usual, not strong and not false, the last general thinks that for the sake of insurance, it should break through from the East Gate." ”
Cheng Pu thought in his heart that there were enemy armies at the West Gate and the North Gate, and if he wanted to break through from here, although he could take Cao Jun by surprise, but if he wanted to break through and leave, it was not as easy as he imagined.
As for the south gate, the enemy's offensive is weak, it must be Cao Jun's strategy to lure the enemy, and the ordinary east gate is the only chance for Sun Cejun's life, Cheng Pu thinks so in his heart, if he is the main general at this moment, he will lead the army to break through from the east gate.
Sun Ce did not make a decision, nor did he immediately say what he thought in his heart, but asked again, "What do the generals think?" ”
"The last general thinks that although the offensive at the east gate is as usual, in fact, it is hidden to kill, the enemy's feint attack at the south gate must be a suspicious plan, at this moment although the enemy soldiers are numerous, but they are also unable to set up an ambush outside the four gates, Cao Jun thinks that he is resourceful, and it is expected that our army is afraid in his heart, and he will not enter from the south gate, if so, our army will be in the enemy's plan." Huang Gai replied.
Although the battle situation is extremely dangerous at this moment, the thoughts in the hearts of these veterans are different, such as Cheng Pu, such as Huang Gai, and Huang Gai's thoughts are to break through from the south gate, for the same reasons.
Sun Ce was still silent, but he looked sideways at Han Dang beside him, and when Han Dang saw this, he immediately arched his hand and said: "Lord, the last general thinks that there are enemy ambushes at the southeast and southeast gates, but the north gate and the west gate, which seem to be extremely dangerous, are the weak points of the enemy army. What Han Dang said is not unreasonable, but the right and wrong in it can only be proved by his life.
Whether it is a strategist or a general, there are always people who fish in troubled waters, and they just give advice, but they are just fighting or not, where to fight, there are a few choices, even if it is a person who has no ink, if he is lucky, he can be beaten a few times, which is also a reason why some people who sell their reputation and reputation, and the generation of wine bags and rice bags can mix in front of all kinds of princes.
Sun Ce deeply understood this truth, although he did not speak, he was extremely disappointed in the three veterans under his command, not because Sun Ce felt that their choice was wrong, but because their reasons could not convince Sun Ce at all.
"If Gongjin is here, he will definitely be able to break Cao Jun's suspicious plan." Sun Ce sighed lightly in his heart, looked around, and saw that the Cao army under the city was still attacking the city fiercely, and in a few days, Cai County would be broken.
The three veterans all have plans in their hearts, and Sun Ce is no exception, but his strategy is higher, and the choice is just as simple, there are only two, break through from the west gate, or break out from the south gate.
First of all, he wanted to lead his soldiers to rush out of Ancheng, although Cai County was lost, but Sun Ce still had a glimmer of hope for Ancheng in his heart, if he wanted to support quickly, he could only go out from the west gate and the south gate, which was the closest to Ancheng, which was why Sun Ce chose these two gates.
As for the ambush of the Cao army, Sun Ce knew in his heart that the Cao army must have it, and he also knew that the commander of the Cao army also knew that the Cao army had an ambush, and both sides also knew that the elite soldiers under Sun Ce were unstoppable, and if they were ambushed, they would be broken through by Sun Ce, so they could only ambush the troops in one place.
And the ambush of the Cao army, which has been calculated by Sun Ce, must be between the south gate and the east gate, Sun Ce also knows that the east gate is attacking like a tide, and it seems to be full of murderous opportunities, but if the Cao army has no ambush soldiers, Sun Ce is very confident that he will take his soldiers to kill from the east gate.
As for the South Gate, the offensive is weak, and it is very likely that it is the place where the Cao army ambushed the troops, and the Cao army's move was to tell Sun Ce that the South Gate was suspicious.
Xun You also knows that he is also gambling in his heart, which gate Sun Ce broke through from is not at all something he can deduce with strategy or resourcefulness, at this moment Xun You has already used a radical strategy, he thinks that Sun Ce's character will definitely be killed from the east gate of the army, and the feint attack of Cao Jun at the south gate is to provoke Sun Ce.
This plan is the same as Zhuge Liang's calculation that Cao Cao must take Huarong Road, Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to smoke in Huarong Road, Cao Cao saw it, and said with a smile, the enemy knows that I am suspicious, and will not take Huarong Road, our army can go the opposite way, and prefer to take Huarong Road, if Cao Cao counts, Zhuge Liang counts, and repeats the cycle...... Can count more than a thousand times...... But it's just a matter of whether to go or not.
In fact, it's just a matter of probability, 50 percent, whether the two sides calculate it or not, it's just a bet.
Just like Xun You and Sun Ce at this moment, Sun Ce knew that Xun You was using a strategy to provoke the generals, but where was his ambush located, and how could Sun Ce deduce it?
Xun You is the same, even if he is a hundred times wiser, it is impossible to deduce which gate Sun Ce wants to break through.
"Order the soldiers under your command to break through to the four gates, and wait for all the elites under your command to go to the south gate with a certain one!" Sun Ce chose the south gate of Cao Jun's feint, as for the reason? It's just fate......
Fortunately, Sun Ce was right, the ambush of the Cao army was not ambushed outside the south gate, but at the east gate where the army was heavy.
After Xun You received the report from Tanmalai, he just sighed slightly, regrets are always there, but there is nothing to be done, like Xun You, a person who has been in the red dust for a long time, has already passed the age of the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, it can be said that he has read all the sails, and he knows in his heart that the truth that things are in the people and the success of things, which is why the smarter the people, the older they are, they will "look up to the sky and fear people", not superstition, but their own realm.
"Leave 2,000 soldiers to guard Cai County, gather the three armies, and go straight to Ancheng." Although there were doubts, Xun You did not order to pursue Sun Cejun, and he ran away, what is the use of chasing?
What's more, the soldiers under Xun You's command have more important things to complete.
In this battle, although Sun Ce's army was defended, almost all the soldiers under his command were wiped out, as for the elite of his trouble-solving army, although he was unstoppable, he fought several bloody battles with the soldiers of Cao's army, but he also suffered heavy losses, and at this moment, the elite of the army's liberation army followed Sun Ce was less than 100 people.
In this battle, the Cao army can be said to have completely annihilated the enemy, although it is so, but the Cao army also lost nearly 5,000 soldiers, after all, it is a siege, and it has encountered a wolf-like army, if it is not for Xun You's personal command, so that the Cao army has maintained a state of fighting more and less, I am afraid that the casualties of the Cao army will be more.
Although Cao Jun suffered heavy losses, he successfully pocketed Cai County and won a great victory.
Cai County is a strategic place, combined with vertical and horizontal, but also can choke the source of the Wei River, it can be said that whoever occupies Cai County, who controls the Wei River, such an important place, has now been captured by the Cao army, how can you not like it?
Sun Ce led the remnants of less than 300 soldiers to rush out of Caixian County, and then went straight to Ancheng, because he still had a trace of luck in his heart, a trace of luck that Ancheng was still there.
Sun Cejun galloped all the way, and rushed to Ancheng before Cao Jun, although this was the case, but when Sun Cejun arrived at Ancheng, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, sighing.
Ancheng has been lost, and it has already been captured by the Cao army soldiers sent by Xun You, and at this moment they are already in array, waiting for Sun Ce to lead the army to surrender.
There was no way to run, Sun Ce was helpless, and once again led the army to fight with the Cao army, only to barely break through, and the soldiers around him were sharply reduced again, Sun Ce had no choice but to go to Weicheng, because he knew in his heart that Weicheng at this moment was still foolproof.
What's more, there are still 3,000 defenders of Yuan Shu's army in Weicheng, and under the Weishui Pass next to it, there are 10,000 soldiers of Yuan Shu's army.
It's just that Sun Ce didn't know that although Guo Jia had fallen asleep, he had already left a trick for the three cities of Weishui and the 10,000 Yuan Shu soldiers under the city.
As for the killer? It was handed over to Xun You, who descended from the sky.
"Sir, Sun Ce led less than three hundred remnants of the army, first explored Ancheng, broke through the siege in the middle of the ambush, and went straight to Weicheng, and at this moment he has been in harmony with the defenders of Weicheng." The young general Ancheng quickly walked to Xun You's side, and immediately said.
"Like a tiger with wings......" Xun You sighed helplessly, and suddenly laughed at himself and said: "Xun is now also raising tigers for ......trouble" The previous battle was his first battle with Sun Ce, although Cao Jun won a big victory, it was also a tragic victory, and it was also in the case of a surprise attack.
It's not that Xun You is afraid of Sun Ce in his heart, but Sun Ce's prestige and talent, if he defends the city, he can reach 3,000 soldiers, and in this way, Cao Jun will add casualties in vain, so the consequences are all because Xun You's strategy when the enemy is facing the change, if Xun You's strategy can be better, how can he give Sun Ce a chance to break through?
"Weicheng...... Weicheng ......" Xun You shook his head and sighed lightly, he knew in his heart that although he had attracted more than 10,000 soldiers at the moment, it was not as simple as he imagined to break through Weicheng.
After all, the capture of Cai County was because Sun Ce was out of the city to fight in the field because of Xun You's plan, and if Sun Ce was defended, it was naturally impossible to easily break through Cai County.
Although Xun You was a little anxious in his heart, he immediately decided: "The three armies are rushing towards Weicheng. If the 10,000 soldiers under the Weishui Pass of Yuan Shu's army learned that the Cao army had 20,000 soldiers from the sky, they would enter Weicheng to defend it, and at that time, how could the Cao army break through Weicheng?
"Bong-hyo? Is there a strategy? ”
