Chapter 430: One can be again
Cao Cao didn't know that his generals had this method of driving war horses with taste, how could Cao Cao make such a small fight, the battlefield was not a child's play, and Cao Cao didn't have that idle time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The initiator of this incident is just a deputy general in the army, and his small method directly and indirectly alarmed Zhang Xiang and Cao Cao, and there are only a handful of such people in the whole world.
This lieutenant general should be honored, but this lieutenant general has not been rewarded by the army, a method that has lost its effectiveness is useless, and Cao Cao has not punished him is already very generous.
If Cao Cao knew that there was such a method early on, he would definitely make good use of this opportunity, even if this method could only be used once, Cao Cao would make Zhang Xiang pay the price of blood, Cao Cao had such an ability.
It's a pity that such an opportunity was wasted by the lieutenant general, but because of the inspiration of the lieutenant, Cao Cao discovered one thing, that is, Zhang Xiang's emphasis on cavalry.
It seems a little too much, for the sake of a small setback for the vanguard army, it actually stopped the army, like a group of vicious dogs provoking the tiger, even if the tiger does nothing.
The vicious dog will not hurt the tiger, but the tiger stopped and let the vicious dog bite in vain, which is simply ridiculous, in other words, Cao Cao would not do this, so Cao Cao also planned to attack Zhang Xiang's cavalry.
Since Cao Cao has always been on the defensive, he didn't feel how powerful Zhang Xiang's cavalry was at all, and the recklessness of the deputy general this time made Cao Cao feel the necessity of dealing with the cavalry.
Cao Cao has always made it very clear that dealing with cavalry and dealing with Zhang Xiang are two different concepts, and the factor of cavalry must be considered when dealing with Zhang Xiang, but it is not necessary to pay attention to Zhang Xiang's situation when dealing with cavalry.
Sometimes the two are not related, the cavalry is easy to distance from the foot soldiers due to their speed, with Cao Cao's understanding of Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang will definitely be with the foot soldiers.
Even if Cao Cao knew that Zhang Xiang preferred cavalry, the gentleman did not stand under the wall, and the cavalry had many uncertain factors, so no matter what happened, he would be with the foot soldiers, just because of safety.
Cao Cao decided to lure the cavalry deeper, if you want to lure others, you must have a good bait, Cao Cao knew that Zhang Xiang himself had been a bait, Cao Cao didn't understand it at that time, and he could slowly try it.
But he has to be in a hurry, now Cao Cao can understand that this is not a rush at all, but the price to be paid for success, if the opponent is weak, then his own risk is in a hurry.
If the opponent is very strong, taking risks by himself is just a very normal means, Cao Cao feels that Zhang Xiang is a very strong opponent, without one, even Yuan Shao cannot be compared with Zhang Xiang.
Yuan Shaokong has troops but does not know how to use them, Zhang Xiang is different, not only has troops, but also is resourceful, if Zhang Xiang does not embark on the road of competing for power, he must be a top strategist.
Cao Cao suddenly spread the army very widely, very much like a crescent moon, as if it was a two-wing array in the army, but the terrain was larger because of the greater number of people, but Cao Cao did not appear in the center of the crescent moon.
That is, the safest place for this formation, but it appeared on the tip of the moon, and the best way to break the two wing formations was to hit one side, if you crashed into it all at once, you would definitely die.
Cao Cao suddenly put on such a big battle, Zhang Xiang couldn't get up carelessly, so Zhang Xiang stopped his movements in time, otherwise he would fall into Cao Cao's arms, and Cao Cao wouldn't need to use himself as bait.
The crescent moon shape in Cao Cao's formation is the oblique moon with the left low and the right high, but Cao Cao is located in the low position on the left, so Zhang Xiang can only attack the right end, and it is not impossible to think about the left end.
Unless there is no other way to use cavalry, Cao Cao also used this to develop a posture, and clearly told Zhang Xiang that I am here, if you have the courage, you will come, I will wait for you.
Cao Cao's attraction is still very great, although Zhang Xiang did not use cavalry, but he always pays attention to Cao Cao's situation, and Cao Cao will generally do what he wants to do very thoroughly.
Zhang Xiang sighed to himself at this point, although Cao Cao's position was a little far away from the real battlefield, but except for the 3,000 guards around him, there was not a single soldier.
If Zhang Xiang sent cavalry, it was not without a chance, Cao Cao also used Yang Mou as a bait, and he lacked a little yin and evil spirit, and there may be a reason for Jia Xu to leave.
Or is it the reason why Xun You is by Cao Cao's side, different masterminds will always have their own styles, and the army's tactics are the best way to embodiment, "Gongda, you say, will Zhang Xiang take the bait?" Cao Cao looked at the newly arrived Xun You.
Xun You: "Zhang Xiang may hesitate, but he will definitely send someone here, because the lord is worth taking risks, knowing that he can't do it, isn't this Zhang Xiang's style of acting?" ”
Cao Cao: "Maybe Zhang Xiang will send elite cavalry to raid it, but our goal is to severely damage Zhang Xiang's cavalry, can this goal be achieved?" ”
Xun You: "Then it depends on Zhang Xiang's heart, if Zhang Xiang just wants to give it a try, the lord's purpose may not be successful, if Zhang Xiang wants to have the best of both worlds, it is possible to enter the trap of the lord." ”
Cao Cao: "Gongda, if you were Zhang Xiang, would you choose the best of both worlds or give it a try?" ”
Xun You: "This is really a bad choice, Zhang Xiang's idea is wild, and Zhang Xiang's mastermind Guo Jia is also unpredictable, these two people get together, maybe they will find a third way." ”
Cao Cao: "I almost forgot, you and Guo Jia are best friends, it's a pity to let Zhang Xiang take the lead, otherwise Zhang Xiang wouldn't be so difficult to deal with." ”
Xun You: "My subordinates have cut off contact with Guo Jia. Xun You definitely did not raise the morale of others to destroy his prestige, but just sought truth from facts, but Xun You was afraid that Cao Cao would misunderstand.
Cao Cao: "This is nothing, each has nothing to do with personal relationships, I and Zhang Xiang are opponents, but Zhang Xiang is still my little brother, I have never denied this." ”
Xun You: "Although we can't lead Zhang Xiang's actions, we can add a fire to it and force Zhang Xiang to take the next step, this method is to Xiaoying, so that Zhang Xiang feels that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it." ”
Cao Cao: "It's too much to do!" ”
Xun You: "Even if you don't do this much, Zhang Xiang won't believe it, but Xiaoying can attract Zhang Xiang's attention, and the more he wants to cover it, the more excited Zhang Xiang will be." Cao Cao was skeptical of Xun You's methods.
Accustomed to Jia Xu's methods, Xun You's methods made Cao Cao a little unaccustomed, but it didn't hurt to try, and the Cao army in the middle of the crescent moon that night had a Xiaoying incident.
This kind of thing happens occasionally in the army, sometimes a snoring or a dream talk can trigger the Xiao camp, and Zhang Xiang has also experienced this kind of thing, and more than once.
Zhang Xiang's army has Hu and Han people, so the contradictions between them are very deep, and there are often fights, once the two sides of the Xiaoying camp will fight each other, Zhang Xiang can go is to kill everything with blood.
After a few times, the two parties were also much more honest, so it was not strange that there was a Xiao camp in the Cao army, but the strange thing was that the timing of this Xiao camp was too coincidental, and the coincidence was like being prepared in advance.
Of course, Zhang Xiang did not believe it, but it was true that Zhang Xiang moved the idea of a surprise attack, after all, once the camp was in the middle of the camp, the support for Cao Cao would not be so timely, and it would be strange not to be tempted.
Zhang Xiang will never let people die, but he will not bet all the cavalry, once Cao Cao eats it, then the situation in the north will be reversed, Zhang Xiang was a gambler before.
But at that time, a small family and a small business, if you lose, you will lose, and it is a big deal to start all over again, but now it is different that Zhang Xiang has a son, and there are many people in the territory, and there is no chance to start from scratch.
So Zhang Xiang couldn't send out all the cavalry, and after Zhang Xiang and Guo Jia discussed, they really took the third road, a road that everyone couldn't predict.
Zhang Xiang doesn't care whether Cao Cao's middle lane is a camp or not, whether it is true or not, fight it first, anyway, it will reveal its original form as soon as it is played, and it will be troublesome to guess, Zhang Xiang directly sent cavalry to attack.
Cao Cao knew that Zhang Xiang had dispatched cavalry, and thought that he was coming for himself, Cao Cao had already spread the net, but he didn't expect Zhang Xiang's cavalry to make a false shot and directly impact his middle lane.
In order to make the Xiao camp more realistic, Cao Cao transferred the troops in the middle to the two wings, and the position of Zhang Xiang's cavalry attack was undoubtedly a weakness, and a flaw appeared in Cao Cao's middle road in an instant.
There is a danger of being broken at any time, Cao Cao's subordinates naturally have reserve parts, but Cao Cao's reserve troops are prepared for themselves, but the situation in the middle lane makes Cao Cao have to dispatch these parts.
With the support of these soldiers and horses, the instability in the middle was also calmed down, and Zhang Xiang's cavalry also retreated, but the direction of retreat was not Zhang Xiang's direction, but Cao Cao's direction.
Zhang Xiang also made two preparations, it is better to break through the middle lane, if he is blocked, he will withdraw immediately, and tentatively hit Cao Cao is talking, and this is only the first move, although the net woven by Cao Cao for the cavalry has become weaker.
But there is still the strength of a battle, just when Cao Cao and the cavalry started a battle, Zhang Xiang's large force of cavalry rushed to the middle again, Cao Cao just had a battle on his side, and Cao Jun's eyes were attracted to the past.
At this time, Zhang Xiang's army attacked the middle road, but it was not a way to die, but it was surprisingly difficult, and the two wings could not be combined to lose its effectiveness, and the battlefield was generally irreversible.
It's easy for people to see through the trick when it's old, Zhang Xiang just used a repetitive trick to catch Cao Jun off guard, Zhang Xiang is indeed very interested in Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's bait is indeed very attractive.
But Zhang Xiang decided to give up first, instead of taking a big risk in order to eat Cao Cao, it was better to honestly eat some of the soldiers who were saying that they could always eat it all bite by bite. (To be continued.) )
