Chapter 228: Nanshan Offensive and Defensive Battle
"The lord praised it." Zhou Yu humbly arched his hand.
"That being the case, Lone immediately sent a large army to support the Nanshan soldiers quickly." Yuan Shu got up and laughed, and said loudly: "Where is the herald!" ”
"Slow down." Zhou Yu immediately waved his hand to stop it, and Zhou Yu said again: "Guo Fengxiao's plan is by no means more than this, attacking from both sides is only the first step of Cao's army. ”
"Will the Ancheng Xiahou army go out of the city to fight?" Yuan Shu's face was incredible, he was not ignorant of the art of war, he had calculated in his heart that the Cao army had very few troops at this time, if there was more than enough to defend the city, if it was out of the city to fight, wouldn't it be self-defeating?
"It will definitely go out of the city, if Zhou's expectations are good, after the Cao army in Ancheng goes out of the city to attack our army, it will directly take Cai County, this is the second step of the Cao army's plan."
"Guo Fengxiao's serial scheme?" Yuan Shu frowned and muttered to himself, and suddenly laughed and said, "There is Bo Fu Gongjin to help you, why not be afraid of Cao Junhu." When he saw that Zhou Yu could see through Guo Jia's every strategy, he naturally laughed.
Zhou Yu arched his hand and said loudly: "Lord, our army should send soldiers to support Nanshan as soon as possible, and wave troops in Ancheng, if it is not as expected by Zhou, the Cao army of Ancheng has divided its troops and left, and our army can be with the forward army and one place, and it can attack the city in a big way." ”
"Good, then follow Gongjin's strategy." Yuan Shu laughed, and immediately summoned the heralds outside the tent, and issued several military orders in a row.
Zhou Yu arched his hand and said: "Lord, there is still a good plan in my heart......
"Oh?" Yuan Shu's face was overjoyed, and he immediately walked in front of Zhou Yu and said, "Gongjin still has a plan, but it doesn't hurt to say it, and he obeys his words." ”
Zhou Yu saw through Guo Jia's conspiracy, but he didn't know what Guo Jia's conspiracy was...... Zhou Yu had a bad premonition in his heart, but he could only see the moves.
……
……
"Report! The marshal, Yuan Shu personally led the soldiers of the rear army to Ancheng, divided 10,000 troops, and galloped in the direction of Nanshan. The young general Cao Jun ran up and down, and immediately knelt down on one knee and handed over his hand to report.
"Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have finally joined forces with Yuan Shu." Guo Jia stood with his hands in his hands and said lightly, as if everything was expected, and his tone actually seemed a little expectant.
"There are a total of 20,000 enemy troops in Nanshan, our soldiers are in danger, there are few defenders left in Ancheng, and it is also very difficult, if there is a slight mistake, I am afraid that our entire army will be annihilated." Xun You sighed lightly, he knew all of Guo Jia's plans in his heart, just as Zhou Yu expected, the Xiahou Dun army in Ancheng did divide his troops out of the city, and at this moment, there were less than four thousand Cao troops left in Ancheng.
Guo Jia stared into the distance, and said: "If Dian Wei can delay the 5,000 soldiers of Yuan Shu's army, maybe the losses of the soldiers of Nanshan will not be too heavy, not to mention, our layout is almost over." ”
Xun You laughed lightly and did not answer, as if he was carefully calculating something in his heart.
Dian Wei led more than 100 light horsemen around him to gallop wildly, and went straight to Zegu, he led the soldiers to attack Cai County before, but in fact it was harassment, simply harassing Sun Cejun, his real purpose was to fight back and take the five thousand soldiers of Yuan Shu's army Zegu.
At this moment, Dian Wei had led the army to the side of Zegu, he looked up, and saw that in front of him was the five thousand soldiers of Yuan Shu's army galloping away, looking at its direction, it was to support Nanshan.
Dian Wei stretched out his hand to take off the two iron halberds on his back, held them on the left and right, and shouted: "All the soldiers, this victory and defeat are all tied to our bodies, and I hope that all the soldiers will take the lead!" ”
"I will live up to my lord, handsome and gracious!" More than 100 iron horsemen behind him shouted in unison, although these more than 100 iron horsemen were not veterans of a hundred battles under Cao Chun's command, but they were also a hundred guards selected by Guo Jia personally in the Cao army, although their combat power was not comparable to that group of veterans of a hundred battles, but it was far beyond ordinary soldiers.
"Hit the middle army! You will be able to confuse the enemy army, kill! Dian Wei shouted again, and immediately led all the soldiers around him to go straight to the Chinese army of the five thousand enemy troops.
The main general of these 5,000 Yuan Shu soldiers is named Yuan Yi, who is Yuan Shu's clan, if it weren't for the fact that almost all the generals under Yuan Shu's command were killed by Cao Jun, this army of 5,000 people would not be able to take Yuan Yi as a general at this moment.
Yuan Yi was riding his horse, he had learned that the soldiers of Cao Jun Zegu pulled out of the camp and went straight to Nanshan, even if he was not a good general, he could see that this was the enemy's two-sided strategy, and decisively ordered his soldiers to gallop towards Nanshan.
Because he knew in his heart that Nanshan had 5,000 friendly troops, and its main general was his cousin, Yuan Lin, and the total number of soldiers in Nanshan and Zegu of Cao's army was less than 5,000.
Yuan Yi suddenly saw the dust and smoke billowing behind him, and hundreds of light horsemen galloped over, looking at his armor, it was not a friendly army, but a soldier of the Cao army.
Yuan Yi couldn't help shouting: "All the soldiers are lined up to meet the enemy!" Yuan Yi said, rode his horse and led his cronies to the Chinese army immediately, because he could see that the target of the enemy's light cavalry was the Chinese army.
In an instant, Dian Wei led the Cao army iron cavalry and Yuan Shujun soldiers are not far away, Dian Wei roared, led the soldiers around him to rush through the enemy arrow rain, the double halberd in his hand flying, like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, like a broken bamboo, Dian Wei as the leader, in the Yuan Shu army left and right rush into the realm of no one.
"So... Such a fierce general! Seeing this, Yuan Yi couldn't help but exclaim, he saw that the strong man led by Cao Jun actually killed dozens of soldiers under his command in an instant, such a brave person, Yuan Yi had never seen it in his life.
Although Yuan Yi was shocked, he also immediately whipped and ordered: "The first army supports, and the fifth army cuts off its rear road and encircles and kills Cao's army in the array!" ”
Dian Wei led the army to rush left and right, and suddenly saw the enemy army change formation, and immediately looked around, and instantly found the location of the main general of Yuan Shu's army.
Dian Wei's double halberd was horizontal, and he roared angrily: "All the soldiers, the enemy leader is ahead!" Kill! After that, Dian Wei took the lead, and the double halberd in his hand flew up and down, which can be said to be a knife in his hand, immediately beheading several enemy soldiers, and leading the soldiers around him to rush and kill.
Yuan Yi was not stupid, he naturally understood that Cao Jun had the intention of capturing the thief and capturing the king, so he immediately led the army away, and never dared to clash head-on with Cao Jun's iron cavalry.
Seeing the enemy general riding away, Dian Wei sighed secretly but was helpless, looked around, and saw that the enemy soldiers around him were gathering more and more, Dian Wei knew in his heart that if he delayed, the more than 100 light cavalry of the Cao army would be wiped out.
Although Dian Wei was brave, he did not have the power to turn the tide in the face of thousands of enemy soldiers, after all, the enemy general was not stupid, and he knew that he was invincible, so he would naturally flee.
If Dian Wei could kill the enemy's main general, maybe the battle would have been a different result......
Dian Wei looked around, looking for the enemy's weak point, and led the soldiers to rush to kill a few times, has Dian Wei's bravery, the first soldier, the blocker is invincible, and under the encirclement of thousands of enemy soldiers, lead the Cao army next to him to rush out and kill it.
"Such an elite, with only a hundred people, killed among thousands of soldiers, it is like entering a no-man's land, Cao Jun, there are such fierce generals!" Yuan Yi couldn't help but sigh when he saw Cao Jun breaking through and leaving. He knew in his heart that although the Cao army's iron cavalry was strong, it was not so terrifying, and the Cao army was only able to break out of the encirclement of the soldiers under his command, mainly because the strong man led by the Cao army was too strong.
It was so strong that the soldiers under his command were frightened, and so strong that the strong man rode his horse and charged, and the soldiers under his command retreated without a fight and gave way one after another.
"Such a fierce general must report to the Lord." Yuan Yi thought in his heart, immediately reorganized the army, and immediately ordered all the soldiers under his command to march towards Nanshan, because he knew in his heart that if he went late, he was afraid that his cousin Yuan Lin and his soldiers would be defeated by Cao's army.
The soldiers under Yuan Yi's command had just finished counting the casualties of the army, and before they had yet marched, they heard the report from the rear army: "General, the Cao army's iron cavalry has been killed to the rear army again!" ”
"What!" Yuan Yi couldn't help but be furious, he had a deep feeling in his heart that he was being teased and applauded, and immediately ordered: "All the soldiers will quickly support, and this Cao army will be surrounded and killed!" ”
Suddenly, there was a report from Tan Ma: "General, the lord has an order, if you are attacked by the Cao army, you don't have to pay attention to it, and quickly lead the army to support Nanshan!" ”
"The plan to disturb the enemy, so it is, if it weren't for the lord's reminder, I almost fell into Cao Jun's plan!" Yuan Yi couldn't help but clench his fists and sighed, and immediately ordered his soldiers to gallop towards Nanshan without justifying the attack of Cao Jun.
……
……
Outside Ancheng, tens of thousands of soldiers of Yuan Shu's army have surrounded Ancheng, at this moment, Yuan Shujun's army, almost all of them are outside Ancheng, Yuan Shu did not use the strategy of encircling three and missing one, because he knew in his heart that Cao's army would never fall, let alone run, rather than surround three and lack one, it is better to attack from all sides.
Yuan Shu and Zhou Yu stood side by side in front of the military formation, watching the thousands of soldiers in front of them shouting and advancing to attack Ancheng.
Yuan Shu stared at it for a long time, and couldn't help laughing sideways: "Gong Jin's talent, by no means under Guo Fengxiao, Cao Jun really divided his troops and left, at this moment, the Cao army in Ancheng will never have five thousand people." ”
Yuan Shu knew that there were 7,000 defenders before Ancheng, and at this moment he said that it was less than 5,000, which was a conservative estimate, and in his opinion, the remaining Cao army in Ancheng at this moment was probably only about 3,000.
"The lord praised it falsely, the defenders of Ancheng must go straight out of the city to Nanshan, and the lord has already ordered his soldiers to support, Ancheng at this moment can be said to be at your fingertips, and the layout of our army, even if Guo Fengxiao is full of tricks, our army is immobile and invulnerable."
Yuan Shu stroked his palm and smiled, and said: "Good, I don't know what will happen in the battle of Nanshan, Gu is really looking forward to the results of Nanshan now." Yuan Shu knew Cao Jun's plan, and at the same time, he obeyed Zhou Yu's plan and ambushed Cao Jun.
Zhou Yu frowned slightly, and sighed lightly: "Lord, this is just the beginning, perhaps, this is just Cao Jun's temptation, Cao Jun's real means, I'm afraid it hasn't been used yet, at this moment, Zhou doesn't know what Cao Jun's intentions are for such a move." ”
Yuan Shu laughed, since he persuaded Zhou Yu, he said: "As Gong Jin said, our army is already invulnerable, there are 20,000 soldiers of our army in Nanshan, and we will not lose it, and at this moment, Ancheng, our army is also at your fingertips, why are you worried?" ”
"What the lord said is true." Zhou Yu replied respectfully, but he was still calculating every change in the battle situation between the two sides in his heart, because he had not yet deduced what Cao Jun's plan to break the enemy was.
"Report! The officers and men of the Cao army of Weihe have been defeated by our army, and they have retreated at this moment. One of Yuan Shujun's young horse scouts galloped in front of Yuan Shu and immediately said.
"Good! Cao Jun really didn't measure his own strength, and with only 2,000 soldiers, he dared to attack more than 10,000 of our army. Yuan Shu couldn't help but smile and said that his mood at the moment was really high-spirited.
As for the Wei River, there were originally 5,000 Yuan Shujun soldiers guarding it, and Yuan sent 5,000 soldiers to reinforce it.
