Chapter 359: Defeated Cangting
Yuan Xu waited for several days but did not get news of Cao Cao's return.
Xu Du Cao House.
He and Ma Fei walked in the back garden.
After two months in a coma, it was almost winter, and a rain in the past two days made people feel a thick chill.
The leaves are yellow, and the wind rolls through a few dead leaves and whirls and falls.
Catching a whirling and flying dead leaf, Yuan Xu said: "It's winter again!" ”
"Winter is coming, and it's freezing cold." Ma Fei said: "Even if Gongzi doesn't delay Cao Cao, Cangting shouldn't be able to fight." ”
"Cao Cao has not returned to Xu Du, we must leave as soon as possible."
Ma Fei didn't say anything.
Yuan Xu never made a decision for no reason, he said that he must have thought of something when he left.
"Winter is coming, and my father may also think that spring will come and go to war." Yuan Xu said: "The two armies confronted each other, and the slightest slackness will lead to failure. You must rush to Cangting immediately to help. ”
"Wouldn't it be useless to take Xu Du in this way?" Ma Fei asked.
"How can it be useless?" Yuan Xu said: "Cao Cao is difficult to break through Hebei for a while, I will wait in Xudu to cause him some trouble, even if he returns, it will be difficult for him to have the strength to go out for a year and a half!" ”
"What are you going to do?"
"The treasury and warehouses are all lit, leaving a devastated place for Cao Cao!"
Two days later, the Tianhai camp opened, and behind them was Xu Du, where the smoke was billowing into the sky!
At the same time, Kurouti.
Yuan's army advanced step by step, and Cao's army retreated again and again.
The river was rushing and the waves were crumbling, and Cao Jun had retreated to the shore.
Behind it is a rushing river, and if you take a step back, you will die!
Cao Cao ordered: "There is no way for us to retreat, and all the armies should go all out!" ”
The soldiers of the Cao army raised their swords. Let out a beastly roar.
At this time, Yuan Shao was also giving the order for a decisive battle: "Cao Cao has no way to retreat. The soldiers of the three armies are moving forward, and there will be rewards for breaking the enemy in this battle! ”
The 70,000 Yuan troops shouted in unison.
"Attack!" Cao Cao sat in charge of the Chinese army. The front finger of the sword gave the order to charge.
Except for a few guards who stayed behind to defend the Chinese army, 20,000 Cao troops rushed out.
Yuan Jun archers wind their bows. Aim at Cao Jun who pounced.
"Shoot the arrows!" At the sound of the order, the arrows flew out with a whistling sound.
The two sides confronted each other in Cangting for many days, and finally fought a decisive battle.
Cao's army was only 20,000, and Yuan's army was 70,000.
The Cao army retreated with no way back, and the soldiers could only move forward desperately, and the Yuan army, which had the advantage in numbers, could not break them for a while.
The war fell into a stalemate, but Yuan Shao was in his chest.
Yuan's army is far more than Cao's army, and if there is no accident, this battle will be overcome.
Although Cao's army was brave, the number was too small, and the battle did not last long before it was pushed to the river by Yuan's army.
Seeing that the battle will spread to Cao Cao's army. A smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Shao's mouth.
Knowing that Yuan Xu did not die in battle and captured Xudu, Yuan Shao has been in a good mood recently.
As long as Cangting breaks the enemy, Yuan's army will go all the way south to seize Cao Cao's territory!
Since then, there has been no one in the Central Plains who can compete with the Yuan family.
"Yuan Gong, it's not good!" Just as he was waiting for the battle to come to an end, a scout horse ran over and said in a panic: "Cao Jun has an ambush!" ”
There was no way to leave a back hand for the whole line to advance, and Yuan Shao was stunned: "Where to set up an ambush?" How many soldiers? ”
"The Ten Route Army is galloping towards Cangting, I don't know how many soldiers and horses!"
Yuan Shao was taken aback.
The Ten Roads Cao Army came to help, once the encirclement was formed. Yuan's army will be annihilated!
"Tell the order to retreat!" In order to maintain his strength, although Yuan Shao was unwilling, he still gave the order to retreat.
Mingjin sounded, and the soldiers of the Yuan army in the attack retreated.
They advance and retreat in a measured way. Although Cao Jun was following and pursuing, he did not get much benefit.
"Cao Jun has reinforcements!" Yuan Jun, who was retreating, shouted at some point.
The soldiers who retreated in an orderly manner heard the shouts. Suddenly there was a bit of chaos.
Some looked around.
Sure enough, countless dark shadows appeared on the horizon in the distance.
The black shadow galloped quickly, and it had already formed a circle in the distance!
Cao army reinforcements arrived. I couldn't see how many soldiers and horses there were, and the soldiers of the Yuan army who went to the battlefield for the first time were suddenly confused.
Quite a few dragged their blades. Flee out of the array.
The rout spread, and there were fewer and fewer Yuan troops who dared to fight, and more and more people threw off their armor and fled in all directions.
Before Cao's reinforcements arrived, Yuan's army was already defeated.
Victory was in sight, but the accident changed suddenly, Yuan Shao's chest froze, and blood spurted out of "poof".
Guo Tu hurriedly stepped forward: "Gong Yuan, our army is defeated, please evacuate quickly!" ”
Dozens of cavalry guards surrounded Yuan Shao and withdrew from the battlefield.
The Ten Roads Cao army was killed, and joined forces with the Chinese army to pursue and kill Yuan's army.
Defeating Yuan's army, Cao Cao ordered a pursuit.
After running for two or three hundred miles, Yuan Shao did not dare to rest for a moment.
Thousands of cavalry Cao Jun were behind him, and as long as he turned around, he could see the smoke and dust rolled up by the horses' hooves.
While galloping away, Guo Tu pointed forward: "Gong Yuan, there are soldiers and horses ahead!" ”
Yuan Shao really saw a cavalry coming towards him.
"I'm dying!" His eyes were black and he almost fell off his horse.
"It doesn't seem to be Cao Jun!" Guo Tu's next sentence made Yuan Shao's mood suddenly relaxed.
Hundreds of horsemen greeted them, and the soldiers were wearing royal blue robes, and the armor was bright and neat.
Seeing Yuan Shao and the others, the general with the troops stopped his horse, and when he got closer, he saluted and shouted: "The last general is Tai Shi Gong, the vanguard under the command of the fifth prince." Yuan Gongjin asked Cao Cao to help! ”
Tai Shi Gong spoke, and Yuan Shao put his mind at ease.
Reining in his horse, he asked, "Where is my son?" ”
"Childe knows very well that the war is critical, so he ordered the last general to lead the cavalry to help first, and I don't want to be too late!" Tai Shi Gong said: "The main force of the infantry army will arrive soon!" ”
The chasing Cao army was getting closer and closer, but Yuan Shao did not evacuate immediately, and asked again: "Since Xianxin is alive, why hasn't he heard from him for several months?" ”
"The son of Puyang was seriously injured and was in a coma for more than two months, but fortunately he was rescued by a miracle doctor and woke up." Tai Shi Gong replied: "I heard that Yuan Gong crusaded against Cao Cao, and led the army to kill Xu Du despite his injuries, so I failed to greet Yuan Gong. ”
"Yuan Gong!" Guo Tu said on the side: "The fifth prince is really the pillar of Hebei, and he has made a contribution to Yuan Gonggong......"
Knowing that Yuan Xu was not dead and had not seen him in person, Yuan Shao was still a little unsure.
After getting the definite news from Tai Shi Gong's mouth, Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and the boredom of the defeat was also dispelled a lot.
"There is no need to say much about the public rule, I already know it."
"Cao's army is near, we will fight and fight, please Yuan Gong leave first!" Tai Shi Gong arched his hand and said.
"Enemy generals, be careful!" Guo Tu returned the salute, and then said to Yuan Shao: "Yuan Gong, this is not a place to stay for a long time, please leave as soon as possible!" ”
"If the general sees Xianxin, please tell your father that he misses him!" Before leaving, Yuan Shao explained to Tai Shi Gong again.
"Don't worry, Yuan Gong will pass on the word to the son!"
Guo Tu and the others hugged Yuan Shao and left, and after walking not far, everyone heard Tai Shigong's shout behind them: "Charge with a certain one!" ”
The cavalry of the five hundred Tianhai Battalion shouted in unison, and followed Taishi to meet the Cao army and kill.
The horses' hooves flew and the dust was everywhere, and the cavalry of the Tianhai Battalion shouted and charged despite the large number of enemy troops. (To be continued.) )
