Chapter 193: See Through
Although the young generals on Xiahou Yuan's side did not think as much as Xiahou Yuan thought, he also knew that the defenders of Cai County poured out of the nest for no reason, and it was very likely that they had joined other enemy forces to attack the city, which made the soldiers under his command investigate the surroundings of Ancheng again.
In addition to the battle between the two armies, the battle between the two armies is a mess, the battle lines of the two sides are spread for hundreds of miles, and the soldiers don't even know whether their side is winning or losing, and even generals like Yu Ban Li Dian don't know what the results of the battle are.
After all, there are too many troops on the battlefield, and the soldiers on both sides are constantly moving and fighting, so it is difficult to grasp the proportions.
At this moment, the total number of soldiers and horses is less than 100,000, and it has become like this, what if there is a big war with more people?
This is also the reason why Han Xin said to Liu Bang, you can only lead 100,000 troops.
……
……
On the Weishui Pass, Cao Ren looked around and saw that there were thousands of enemy troops under the pass, but he didn't know what the battle situation was at the moment, and there was no report from the horses, so he was afraid that the enemy army would be ambushed, so he couldn't defend it.
And Yuan Shu's army under Weishui Pass only went to the pass for a turn and then retreated, which made Cao Ren not know what the enemy army intended to do, and wanted to go out of the city to pursue, but when he thought about it, Guo Jia personally led an army of nearly 30,000 people, and dispelled this idea in his heart, perhaps Cao Ren relied too much on Guo Jia's wisdom in his heart.
Cao Hongli supervised the battle with the shore, always observing the dynamics of the surroundings, and at the same time ordered his scouts to keep patrolling the surroundings, after all, he was worried about the main force of Yuan Shujun's attack.
Suddenly, a young general rode his horse and rushed over, turned over and dismounted, and immediately bowed his hand and said: "General, more than a thousand Yuan Shu troops in the north have retreated!" ”
"Withdrawn?" Cao Hong was slightly stunned after hearing this, and he couldn't guess what the enemy's intentions were to use his troops like this, although this was the case, but Cao Hong was not moved, he only needed to defend to be invincible, and naturally he would not easily get into danger, not to mention that the 15,000 army led by Guo Jiaqin was still storming Weicheng.
The fierce battle of Weicheng was in full swing, and thousands of soldiers of the Cao army shouted and marched, with shields in their hands and swords on their waists, covering the ladders and other siege equipment to the city.
The defenders of the city were full of fighting spirit, and they were quite mortal, and the crossbowmen kept probing and dropping arrows, and the rolling stones and wooden sticks were thrown at the Cao army under the city without saving.
The soldiers of the Cao army are numerous and fierce, and countless soldiers have climbed on the ladder to try to rush up the city, and there are still Cao soldiers pushing the siege vehicle at the city gate, "Knock! Boom! Boom! "The death of the city gates.
With each impact, the gate shook violently, and along with the sand on the crack of the gate, there were also falling boulders from the walls.
The tragic battle continued, and after a short time, the chariot used by the Cao army to attack the city was smashed by the defenders with huge stones, even so, the Cao army was still offensive, and there was quite a posture of not breaking the enemy city and vowing not to return.
Xiahoudun immediately fell into the rear army, his expression was indifferent, a veteran like him who had been on the battlefield for a long time could be said to be accustomed to blood, how could he be moved.
However, he was also thinking about the battle situation between Cao Jun and Sun Yuan's coalition army, and he was also very curious about what kind of surprise Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, the young man, would bring to Cao Jun.
At the same time, the Cao army camp, the Chinese army in the big tent.
Guo Jia suddenly asked, "Where is Sun Cejun?" He had already guessed the strategy used by the enemy, but even so, there was a trace of helplessness in his heart, and he actually ignored the combat strength of the soldiers under Sun Cejun's command.
At this moment, the Cao army is divided into four routes, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu can only contain the three roads and then storm the Cao army all the way, and at this moment, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's army have not yet taken action, Guo Jia is already a little suspicious.
At this moment, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's layout was obviously to scatter the army under Guo Jia's command, and the Chinese army led by Guo Jia was surrounded by Sun Yuan's coalition army from all sides.
Guo Jia's Chinese army camped near Weicheng, west of the army, Xiahou Tang is leading 5,000 soldiers to storm Weicheng, although the number is outnumbered, but it is impossible to capture Weicheng in a short time, and the soldiers are fighting fiercely, if the Cao army retreats rashly, the morale will definitely drop to a pole, and at that time, the defenders in the city will definitely send troops to pursue, even if the defenders in the city do not have this resource, Sun Ce Zhou Yu will definitely order the arrangement before, this is an anti-guest strategy, so that the 5,000 Cao army led by Xiahou Tang can not advance or retreat.
If Guo Jia's expectation is good, Zhou Yu will lead the people of Yuzhou to attack Cao Hong, if so, Zhou Yu's elite can take the opportunity to cross the river and take a detour to the south of Guo Jia's army.
The 1,000 soldiers from Weicheng also have many meanings, one can cover Zhou Yu's army to cross the river, the second can disturb his vision, and the third can test his own reaction, which has the meaning of diverting the tiger from the mountain.
And in the north, there are two thousand soldiers of Yuan Shujun Ancheng, these two thousand soldiers just made a move to storm Weishui Pass, which is actually a false way to cut down the enemy, and the counterattack will be directed at the army under his command, and now the Chinese army under his command is already attacked on three sides.
Surrounded on all sides! And the fighter plane, this is the moment!
Yu Ban immediately bowed his hand and said: "Marshal, our army does not know the movements of Sun Cejun for the time being. ”
"Sure enough." Guo Jia snorted coldly, he knew in his heart that within a moment, Sun Ce would lead the elite under his command to attack.
At this moment, Guo Jia can be said to have fallen into the rhythm of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and he is completely passively beaten, since he knows that there will be damage in this battle, it is better to adjust the benefits to the maximum.
What's more, although Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's calculations are seconds, they must have a fatal condition, and the soldiers under Sun Ce's command must be the elite of the elite, enough to be the kind that has become ten.
After all, even if the enemy army has been surrounded on all sides, but the strength is still scarce, Guo Jia only needs to lead his soldiers to hold for a while, Cao Ren and Cao Hong's army will arrive, and then the enemy army will be surrounded by a counter-encirclement, and Cao's army can also break the enemy army inside and outside.
Although the Chinese army led by Guo Jia was dangerous, if Sun Ce's army wanted to attack, it would be even more reckless, and even more so, even if Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had far-reaching strategies, they could not make up for the gap in insufficient troops.
This is also the reason why Guo Jia has been watching the changes by standing still, Guo Jia smiled faintly, and immediately ordered: "Order Xiahou Dun's troops to break through Weicheng, and Xiahou Dun and his people will withdraw to the big tent of the Chinese army, if something is expected, Sun Ce's army will attack in an instant!" ”
"The last general commands!" Yu Ban immediately surrendered his hand, and then turned around and gave the order to leave.
And Li Dian is still listening to Guo Jia, Guo Jia also intends to keep Li Dian, after all, Li Dian is strong in martial arts, at least he can ensure his own safety.
Guo Jia sighed lightly and whispered to himself: "Before Yuan Shu arrived, he fought a fierce battle with Sun Ce, and after this battle, I may need Meng De to increase his troops." ”
