Chapter 480 Zhao Yun is full of guts

In the first year of Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty, that is, on the sixth day of October in the first year of Cao Wei Taihe, there was a sudden fog in the sky above Liyang. ︽，

However, at such a moment, Cao Wei's army did not have the slightest mood to enjoy such a fantastic scenery, because their main general knew that the more days like this, the easier it would be for the enemy to attack, and if they were not careful, they would be taken advantage of by the Han army, which was good at winning by surprise.

Therefore, the Cao Wei army fortified along the river was now closely watching the movement on the river, although they could not see anything on the river at all, but this only made them feel even more frightened.

But at this moment, they suddenly heard the earth-shattering sound of war drums on the other side, and the army of Cao Wei, who was in charge of fortification, suddenly changed their complexion, and it was only then that they sincerely admired the clever calculation of Cao Xiu, the general of the Chinese army, and the Han army really took advantage of the opportunity of the fog to launch an attack.

So all the soldiers of Cao Wei on the embankment involuntarily put on the crossbow strings and watched the movement on the opposite side intently. But they didn't expect that they didn't hear the order to launch for a long time, and these sergeants couldn't help but be surprised, but because of the military order, they had to obey, just nervously holding the crossbow machine, waiting for the order.

After about a cup of tea, Sergeant Cao Wei suddenly heard the sound of the drum on the opposite side, which made people feel as if they were in front of them, judging by their years of experience, this time the enemy army was probably less than 200 paces away from them.

Not long after, they saw that there were enemy soldiers not far in front of them, and Sergeant Cao Wei couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw this scene, so nervous that even sweat flowed out of his palms.

At this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of drums behind them, and these sergeants suddenly felt inexplicably relieved. Involuntarily let go of the crossbow strings, only to hear the continuous sound of breaking the air, and the dense bows and crossbows vented out of their hands and shot into the thick fog.

"Hehe, no matter how many of you there are, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get rid of me in this fog. No, it should be the taste of 100,000 crossbows fired at once, right? Liu Qi, Liu Qi, you are also underestimating me Cao Xiu, I was indeed defeated by your hands, but this is only because you have gunpowder, and you suddenly used gunpowder without my knowledge, if it is now, even if you have gunpowder, what can you do to me? Besides. What would I be if I were defeated by you? Does success or failure mean that I will continue to fail? Does a moment of success or failure mean that my resourcefulness has declined? Today's defeat is also your own fault......"

Hearing the sound of thousands of crossbows in the army, imagining the large number of deaths of the Han army not far away, even Cao Xiu felt that he was really happy to win this battle, and Liu Qi, who had no one in his eyes, finally learned a lesson, this should be the biggest casualty since his debut, right?

But at this moment, I suddenly heard a burst of shouts in unison in the heart of the river: "Thank you General Cao for your crossbow arrows, great kindness." Don't dare to forget, you will be rewarded in the future. ”

"What?" The shouts of enemy sergeants in the river were heard. Cao Xiu couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, and then came to his senses: "I actually fell for Liu Qi's evil this time, it's really hateful, alas, hundreds of thousands of crossbow arrows were given to others like this, and they haven't caused any damage to the enemy." If it is spread out like this, what face will I have to face the soldiers? But what kind of method did Liu Qi use to take away so many crossbow arrows? ”

Cao Xiu was naturally puzzled by this, in fact, many generals in the Han army also did not understand, what way did their emperor "borrow" hundreds of thousands of crossbow arrows from Cao Ying?

At first, when they heard that the emperor was quite proud to borrow hundreds of thousands of crossbow arrows from Cao's camp, they all thought it was an incredible idea. And then Liu Qi ordered the generals and soldiers in the army to rush to be straw men overnight, which made some generals feel a little eyebrows.

"I really didn't expect His Majesty to use such a genius idea, with the help of fog, to use straw men to attract enemy troops, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, in this way, even if Cao Xiu had doubts, he did not dare to rashly launch an attack, and had no choice but to rely on archery to block his own army, and Cao Xiu would never have thought that in this way, he just fell into His Majesty's calculations, hehe, give us these hundreds of thousands of feather arrows, this is really too generous, and after this time, presumably Cao Wei's material loss must be not small, That's a good thing for us. ”

Zhao Yun and other discerning generals had already thought of the brilliance of Liu Qi's strategy, and they all admired Liu Qi's clever plan.

And when the army really set off, when the generals saw that Zhao Yun, who had accepted the order, actually went to the Yellow River with only 300 soldiers and 20 boats to "challenge" Cao Wei's army, they were all shocked, because this was undoubtedly a bold strategy, once the Cao army found out that it was wrong, as long as hundreds of soldiers were sent to pursue, these 300 soldiers, including General Zhao Yun, would be wiped out.

However, Zhao Yun accepted the order without hesitation, not only based on his trust in Liu Qi, but also out of Zhao Yun's judgment, because he believed that Cao Xiu would never dare to attack rashly.

The result was naturally gratifying, Zhao Yuntong led three hundred soldiers to walk around the river, not only unscathed, but also brought hundreds of thousands of crossbow arrows, such a merit made countless soldiers red-eyed, but they knew that with their courage, this thing could never be done.

What shocked these soldiers even more was that three days later, when the fog rose again, Liu Qi still appointed Zhao Yun to lead 300 soldiers and tie up the straw man, just as he did three days ago.

The news brought this time made them feel that their previous worries were purely superfluous, because they were worried that Liu Qi's ambush would be in the army, and archery would benefit Liu Qi, so Cao Xiu ordered the army to stand still, and not to order not to open the bow and shoot arrows.

Therefore, Zhao Yun's three hundred sergeants still returned unscathed, which made all the soldiers admire and envy. Three hundred people made the enemy's tens of thousands of troops dare not make a single move, and fired an arrow, what a boastful achievement should this be? In the future, even if it is to talk about it to the children and grandchildren, it will be a thing worth showing off, but it is a pity that such a good thing did not come to them.

So some sergeants found Zhao Yun one after another, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner that if there was still a chance to venture to the other side to fight the enemy, they must not be forgotten.

Zhao Yun nodded to them with a smile and promised them that he would definitely think of them as long as he had the opportunity.

It happened that there was still a fog the next day, and Liu Qi still appointed Zhao Yun to lead the army out to provoke, so Zhao Yun selected 300 brave and careful, flexible but experienced soldiers according to the requirements of some soldiers who asked for orders yesterday, divided them into 20 boats, and then made arrangements one by one, and then led the fleet to set off.

When it was time to approach the north shore, Zhao Yun ordered the six boats in front of him to swing out in a row, and ordered the sergeants to beat drums on the boats to provoke the enemy.

At this time, after hearing the sound of the drums, Sergeant Cao Wei was immediately shocked, and he didn't know what to do, so he asked Cao Xiu for his life.

Originally, according to Cao Xiu's intentions, the army was still as before, ignoring the provocative enemy army, but Cao Chun didn't think so, he naturally knew what happened in the past two days, and he also knew that the enemy army was bluffing, if the army had been standing still like this, I don't know what kind of setback the morale would be? Even if there is a real head-to-head battle in the future, I am afraid that there will be a total rout.

Therefore, Cao Chun resolutely proposed that this time he must decisively lead the army to attack, and he must completely annihilate the enemy army that is provoking, otherwise how can he boost morale?

Although Cao Xiu disagreed, how could he really stop the number one person in power in Cao Wei's regime? I saw that Cao Chun was furious and personally raised 2,000 soldiers to intercept the rampant Han army.

However, it was said that Zhao Yun led the army to enjoy the scenery at the bow of the ship, and suddenly heard the sound of drums from the opposite side, and then saw more than ten big ships on the opposite side sailing to the opposite side not far away, and then saw a person on the bow of the boat shouting loudly: "The enemy army is gone, your grandfather Cao Chun has endured you for a long time, and you are suffering here today, and you deserve your bad luck." ”

Hearing Cao Chun's roar on the bow of the ship, these soldiers who came with Zhao Yun immediately cried bitterly: "I'm really fucking unlucky, why can that kid Liu Sanhu return like that and win such an impressive victory as 300 vs. 50,000, and this situation will occur immediately when it is my turn today?" The big ships on the opposite side are all real people, each boat can carry about 200 people, and ten big ships can carry 2,000 people, and 2,000 people are hard to fight with 300, I'm afraid that except for General Zhao, no one can get out of the way, right? ”

Although complaining is complaining, but these sergeants are the elite under the command of Zhao Yun, they have experienced countless life and death battles in their lives, and although they are facing the situation of death today, no one chose to escape, but quietly took out the iron knife and crossbow in their hands, preparing to protect General Zhao Yun's retreat even if they fought for everyone's lives.

But they didn't see Zhao Yun panicking in the slightest, but saw that Zhao Yun was still standing on the bow of the boat, and laughed loudly: "Cao Chun, you fell for my majesty's plan, don't you know it now?" Dare to speak so loudly, Zhao really admired, come here, beat the drum with me, and prepare to attack. ”

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he saw two hundred murderous soldiers rushing behind him, holding a bow and crossbow in one hand and a steel knife in the other, with fierce expressions and no trace of panic.

Subsequently, after seeing Zhao Yun's main ship, the same drums sounded, and nearly twenty boats formed a goose-shaped formation, approaching in the direction of Cao Chun's army with murderous energy.

Cao Chun was shocked when he saw this, he didn't expect that he was ambushed by the enemy, and hurriedly ordered the army to retreat quickly.

After some chaos, the river finally returned to calm, and if it weren't for the hundreds of corpses, I'm afraid no one would have believed that there had just been a "big war" here. (To be continued.) )
