Chapter 40: Yuan Shao's thoughts
Cao Cao stood on the mountain and looked at the dense under the mountain, and at a glance, it seemed that the boundless cavalry was also slightly numb, Cao Cao was not a rookie who had not been on the battlefield, and the allies also had fifty or sixty thousand cavalry, but it was a self-army, the feeling was different, and the combat effectiveness between the cavalry and the cavalry was not the same, and the iron cavalry of Liangzhou and Liangzhou was the most famous, they fought with foreign races all the year round, and the Youzhou iron cavalry was called the three most elite cavalry in the world, and the momentum was in addition to the Youzhou iron cavalry brought by Gongsun Zan in the allied army and the Xiliang iron cavalry brought by Ma Teng, The cavalry led by the princes of the other roads cannot be compared at all. Looking at the five hundred cavalry beside him, Cao Cao felt that the other party only needed two hundred people to completely destroy his five hundred people.
Cao Cao felt like this, not to mention his subordinates, they only felt dry mouth, their faces were slightly pale, the hands holding the weapons trembled, the two forces of war, if the enemy launched an attack at this time, it is estimated that they would directly put down their weapons and surrender, after all, they are not the elite of a hundred battles, Cao Cao's time to raise troops is too short, these soldiers have never been on the battlefield at all.
Cao Cao naturally also discovered the state of his soldiers, and shouted: "Dong Zhuo is brutal, his soldiers are also tigers and wolves, we will inevitably die if we surrender, the allies are not far from here, and now our army occupies a favorable position and only needs to hold on for two days to be saved when reinforcements arrive." ”
Even the weakest men were able to burst out in the face of the threat of death, and although their faces were still pale, these soldiers were able to recover some of their morale and not be crushed at the first blow.
Lu Bu frowned slightly, he didn't say anything to invite the battle, the other party clearly wanted to hold on, and he knew the deterrent power of his own army, the morale of the enemy army was already uncontrollable, even if the other party refused to fight, it would not be able to hit the enemy's morale, he could only think of another way to break the enemy.
Fire attack is not good, looking at the bare circle around the enemy Lu Bu is also a little speechless, forcibly attacking the mountain is not good, can not give full play to the power of the cavalry, and with Lu Bu's eyesight, he naturally sees that there are a lot of rolling logs piled up on the mountain, and the attack on the mountain must have great casualties, even if the enemy army is completely annihilated, how about exchanging cavalry for the opponent's infantry, Lu Bu is not so stupid, so there is only one way to surround the mountain, Lu Bu ordered the whole army to set up camp.
Cao Cao was secretly relieved to see that Lu Bu did not attack, he was afraid that Lu Bu would force the mountain by all means, if this was the case, the Xiliang army would certainly suffer a lot of casualties, but he Cao Cao would die. At this time, Cao Cao only hoped that reinforcements would come to rescue him quickly, and there was no other way.
The princes of the Allied camp were deliberating, and suddenly probed the Malay newspaper: "Report, thirty miles ahead, I found that more than 10,000 cavalry of the enemy army had written the banner of Lu Zi, and General Cao was trapped on the mountain by the enemy. ”
"It's Lu Bu, more than 10,000 cavalry Meng De is in danger, and the alliance leader should quickly send troops to rescue him." Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao and Cao Cao have always been good friends, and when they heard the news, they said in a hurry.
"Lu Bu has arrived, thinking that Dong Zhuo's army must not be far away, and Gongsun Taishou once said that Lu Bu was brave, and now there are more than 10,000 cavalry, we can't be careless, the army must not move recklessly, you need to move carefully, pass the order, and the army will move slowly." Yuan Shao didn't see any anxiousness.
"This, what about Mengde." Although Zhang Miao felt that what Yuan Shao said was reasonable, after all, it takes time to probe the horse back and forth, and it may not be able to transmit back information in time, and it is also necessary to take into account whether the self-army will be killed by the enemy's horse, and Lu Bu is a cavalry, if the self-army accelerates the march, then Lu Bu leads the cavalry to suddenly attack and the self-army is unprepared, and the damage to the self-army is great, but a normal march is fine, why do you want to go slowly, Zhang Miao felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of a clue for a while.
"Zhang Taishou can go to the aid first, as long as the enemy army is delayed for three days, our army can arrive, and Lu Bu will naturally retreat." Yuan Shaodao.
Zhang Miao couldn't, so he had to take 30,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters to support.
Yuan Shao's eyes flashed with a hint of joy.
The previous Cao Cao and Liu Meng's closeness caused Yuan Shao to be dissatisfied, Yuan Shao knew that Dong Zhuo would not sit still, and he sent Cao Cao as the vanguard to consume his strength, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to be just besieged, and he naturally wouldn't send troops and horses to rescue him quickly. Yuan Shao didn't expect Zhang Miao to go to the rescue, which was an unexpected joy, because Yuan Shao was arrogant and unbeatable since he became the leader of the alliance, and this Zhang Miao often blamed Yuan Shao, which also caused Yuan Shao to be dissatisfied, and just took this opportunity to let him face Lu Bu. After Yuan Shao wanted to come to Zhang Miao to save Cao Cao, if he was defeated by Lu Bu, Cao Cao would definitely attack, and he would not hold on, and both of them would be defeated.
I have to say that Yuan Shao's ability to be a yin person is really first-class, and he can think of such a plan in an instant, and everyone will only think that Yuan Shao's order to slow down the army is just out of prudence.
On the second day, Cao Cao stood on the top of the mountain and observed the Xiliang army, and suddenly found that the smoke and dust were billowing in the distance, and the direction was the direction of the allies, and it would definitely not be Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses.
Cao Cao's first reaction was not joy, but a little worried, the speed of the army must not be so fast, and the number of military horses coming at such a speed is not very small, or they are in a hurry. If the number is very small, in the face of such a number, the cavalry is simply sent to death, and if the number is large, the soldiers are tired and the combat effectiveness is greatly reduced, so Cao Cao is not happy and worried.
When Cao Cao found that the coming army was his friend Zhang Miao, he was a little moved and helpless at the same time. Touched is that the other party knew that he was trapped and then led the army to rescue, you must know that at this time the princes are standing, all to preserve their own strength as the priority, willing to send troops to save others people do not say that there is no but there are not many, helpless is Zhang Miao rushed to march and the soldiers are tired, if at this time Lu Bu led the army to raid Zhang Miao's army is very likely to be defeated, once Zhang Miao's army is defeated, he can not stick to the mountain and see death without saving, but even if the two soldiers and horses are combined, they are not necessarily Lu Bu's opponents.
Lu Bu naturally also discovered the arrival of enemy reinforcements, and he felt that the pent-up anger against Cao Cao had a place to vent, and he only wanted to crush the enemy army to vent now.
Lu Bu came to lead the original Bingzhou wolf cavalry this time, and Dong Zhuo did not hand over his flying bear cavalry to Lu Bu, not because he didn't trust him, but because Dong Zhuo knew that only Lu Bu could stimulate the combat effectiveness of these Bingzhou cavalry.
"What are we?" Lu Bu drank heavily.
"Wolves, wolves, wolves." The shouts shook the sky.
"Yes, we are wolves, the Lamb has come, and all the soldiers will go with me to tear them apart." Lu Bu rushed towards Zhang Miao's troops with a halberd.
"Torn, torn." The 20,000 wolf riders clenched their spears and shouted slogans, and Lu Bu launched a charge.
