Chapter 144: Charging Alone
Liu Dai led the Yanzhou army out of the city to fight against the Yellow Turban, and the fierce battle was in full swing, when suddenly a masked young general was killed in the Yellow Turban Army, and the young general jumped on the horse with a spear, and stabbed Liu Dai with a shot, and the young general then went away......
Liu Dai died, the Yanzhou army retreated, and after the battle, Yanzhou Wenwu and the wealthy family discussed and agreed that Jizhou Yuan Shao should be invited to send troops to rescue.
Bao Xin came out with another plan, Jizhou Yuan Shao and Youzhou Gongsun Zan were fighting fiercely, and there was no time to divide troops to rescue us, Chen Liu, Zhang Miao and Cao Cao used troops like gods, and they defeated Yuan Shu's multi-way coalition army, which could welcome Cao Cao into Yanzhou and fight against the Yellow Turban.
Everyone bowed their heads and sent messengers to Jizhou and Chenliu respectively......
……
……
Five days later, the Yanzhou messenger traveled to Chenliu, and after explaining the situation, Zhang Miao recruited 2,000 young men and sent a total of 5,000 troops to help Yanzhou first.
In the battle with Yuan Shu, Cao Cao's soldiers were seriously injured, and at this moment, Dian Wei, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Hong were all seriously injured and did not recover, and the only few hundred soldiers under his command had no strength to fight again.
Cao Cao had no choice but to leave all the soldiers under his command in Chenliu, one to help Xun Yu maintain law and order in the city, and the other to let these soldiers recuperate.
After another half a day, outside the east gate of Chen Liu, all the civil and military forces of the Cao army were listed under the city, except for Dian Wei, who was seriously injured and could not get up, the rest of the generals came to see each other off with injuries.
Cao Cao faced Xun Yu and said helplessly in his tone: "Wen Ruo, if Cao fails to relieve the siege of Yanzhou within a month, Wen Ruo needs to take Chen to stay in Beitou to ...... the original ."
If the Qingzhou Yellow Turban cannot be incorporated in a short period of time, Cao Jun will be unable to resist Yuan Shu, and the soldiers and relatives and friends who stay behind Chen Liu will be in danger.
Xun Yu arched his hand and said solemnly: "The lord is relieved, Yu Zidang is improvised, although the yellow turbans are numerous, they are all refugees, after the lord arrives in Yanzhou, the heart is the top, and the enemy is broken. ”
Cao Cao bowed his head, and bowed to all the soldiers in all directions, only taking Guo Jia, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Cao Ren and dozens of guards to go to Qiaojun.
After another three days, Cao Chun scattered his wealth, bought good horses, and gathered more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to make peace with Cao Cao's soldiers.
Cao Cao watched Cao Chun's men and horses were strong and strong, and the bow horses were skillful, most of them were rangers, and they were immediately overjoyed, and then led the troops and horses to Yanzhou.
……
……
A few days later, in the big tent of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Chinese Army, the marshal Guan Hai sat on the main seat in the tent, looked around, and said lightly: "Zang Ba waved his troops into Qingzhou, cutting off the way back for our army, at this moment millions of people in our army are trapped in Yanzhou, there is Yanzhou Jiancheng blocking the road in front, and Zang Ba occupies Qingzhou in the back, in a dilemma, and our army's food and grass are only enough to support three months, if our army is like this, it will not be self-defeating, I am afraid that your relatives and friends will not survive the next winter, such a critical situation, what are your good strategies?" ”
The generals in the tent looked at each other, all bowed their heads and said nothing, no one in the army knew the situation better than them at this moment, and they had no good plan in their hearts for such a critical situation.
"If it weren't for the fact that the Yanzhou army did not dare to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with our army, how could the millions of soldiers of our army fall into this predicament." The tent general suddenly complained.
This person is not an outsider, it is the number two person of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, Xu He.
"This is how the army marches and fights, the enemy knows that our army does not have much food and grass, how can it go out of the city for a decisive battle, not to mention that the enemy army is based on the city and defends it, and in the long run, the morale of our army will be weak." Guan Hai said: "Although our army is numerous, most of them are women and children, relatives and friends, and the real young and strong are only 300,000, but the combat power is not strong, not to mention that I heard that Yanzhou civil and military forces have invited Chen Liucao Mengde to come to help......"
The faces of the generals in the tent were gloomy, Cao Cao relied on less than 20,000 troops in Chenliu, and repelled tens of thousands of Yuan Shu's troops, and even personally led thousands of iron horsemen to defeat tens of thousands of yellow turbans in Hebei, and the generals in the tent were inevitably jealous.
Xu He said with a smile: "Yuan Shu is a person who sells his reputation and reputation, it is not surprising that he was defeated by that Cao Cao, and it is really luck for Cao Cao to win." ”
Guan Hai said again: "No, Cao Mengde is really a masterpiece, not to mention Guo Fengxiao, who is known as the world's first think tank, is under his command, although there are few soldiers, but he is elite, and the generals cannot be underestimated." ”
"Handsome! He has raised the morale of others and destroyed his own prestige, if Cao Mengde dares to come, he will be defeated and returned from a certain self-led army, and there will be no armor left! Xu He was indignant, and he didn't take the world's heroes in his eyes at all, quite the eldest in the sky, the second in the earth, and he was the third.
The spies outside the tent came to report: "Lord, there are thousands of enemy light cavalry in the east, and when I see his banner, it is Chen Liucao Cao's team, and at this moment I am trying to break through the defense line of our army and rush into the city of Dongjun......"
Xu He sneered and said, "This Cao Mengde really thought that he had three heads and six arms, and he dared to lead only a thousand people to support, handsome!" Give a certain 3,000 soldiers and horses, and you will definitely be able to destroy the enemy army! ”
"Cao Mengde is very human, don't be impatient, the generals will follow a certain formation and make a decision." Guan Hai got up and said goodbye, and walked out of the tent as the leader.
Guan Hai believes that at this moment, Dongjun City has been surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops on all sides, which can be described as impassable, and if Cao Jun wants to enter the city, he can only rush into battle.
After all, the Cao army only has more than 1,000 light cavalry, and the lone army will be surrounded and annihilated by hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops outside, and it is difficult to protect itself, how to break the enemy?
Five miles outside the Yellow Turban barracks, there is a small hillside, on the hillside more than 1,000 iron horsemen of the Cao army are lined up according to the danger, taking advantage of the territory, and are not afraid of the Yellow Turban Army's attack, not to mention that the hillside has a wide field of vision, if the enemy army is encircled, it is not too late for the Cao army to retreat.
Cao Cao and everyone stood on the hillside under the scorching sun, suddenly a fresh breeze blew, everyone seemed refreshed, not long after, saw the enemy formation slowly out of the camp, everyone watched the changes.
Xun You suddenly said softly: "Break the enemy for the bottom, collect the enemy for the top, the enemy army is numerous, if you can't make the enemy afraid of it, the enemy army can't surrender, and the enemy army is afraid of it, only grain and grass, if our army can burn the enemy's heavy grain and grass, Qingzhou Yellow Turban can be lowered, and the big thing will be done." ”
Cao Cao bowed his head and said: "This is exactly the case, but the enemy army is strong, and it is not easy for our army to overcome it, do you have a good plan?" ”
After that, Cao Cao saw that everyone was silent, and Cao Cao said again: "The plan is to attack the heart, the strategy is to burn the grain, but there is no plan to destroy the enemy. ”
Cao Cao said: "Bao Xin and I are old friends, I know him well, although he has soldiers and horses but does not know the art of war, does not know the battle array, a certain willing to leave the soldiers to be under the command of filial piety, a certain person to go to Bao Xin, to help him plan to break the enemy, what do you think?" ”
"Good." Cheng Yu said again: "The lord's plan is very good, Yu Zidang should follow the lord's side to make suggestions." ”
Guo Jia looked sideways, seeing Cheng Yu's gloomy face, there must be a poisonous plan in his heart, although this is the case, Guo Jia is too lazy to ask, let alone care, after all, Guo Jia knows that Cheng Yu is a good person, it can be said that he is more loyal, even if it is a poisonous plan, it is for Cao Jun's good.
Seeing that the enemy army was two miles away from the hillside, Cao Cao secretly shook his head and sighed lightly: "Qingzhou Yellow Turban ......" seems to be a pity, and it seems to be a pity, Cao Cao suddenly raised his head, smiled faintly, and actually grabbed the horse's belly and single-handedly rushed towards the tens of thousands of enemy troops......
