Chapter 196: A Great Victory
In the gourd valley, the mountain fire caused by the fire attack gradually extinguished after burning for an afternoon and half a night.
However, the excitement in the hearts of the soldiers of the Yuan army has not been extinguished, this battle is really enjoyable, it is enough for 8,000 elites of the Cao army to be defeated by them!
This is the real elite of the Cao army, not an ordinary miscellaneous soldier.
This, just look at the armor on these Cao Jun and the weapons in their hands.
These 8,000 Cao troops, the soldiers are at least wearing leather armor, the archers are also wearing cloth armor, as for the officers above the commander level, they are all wearing iron armor, of course, there is also a difference between iron armor and iron armor, and there is still a big difference between the iron armor worn by the small army commander and the iron armor worn by the captain-level generals.
In addition, there are weapons, the soldiers of the Cao army use the ring head knife with the edge of the steel wrapped, the bows used by the archers are also well-made iron tire bows, as well as spears and other long weapons, all of which are made of fine iron and then wrapped in steel, Cao Cao is really willing to spend money, it is not easy to arm such an army.
In addition to weapons and equipment, the greater harvest is still the weight of grain and grass.
At this time, Yuan Wei had already gone down to the valley, and Liu Ye also rushed over.
Seeing the ox cart overturned in the valley, as well as the ox cart full of all kinds of materials, Liu Ye was overjoyed.
Ji Ling, Xu Sheng, Liang Gang, Li Feng, Pei Yuanshao, and Liao Hua, who followed behind Yuan Fu, were also very excited, Ji Ling and a few of the old generals of the Yuan family, Xu Sheng also experienced the battle of Xia Cai Longkang and Dabie Mountain, and he could be regarded as having seen it, but Pei Yuanshao and Liao Hua had never experienced such a hearty victory, especially this time it was Cao Jun who was defeated. This made the two even more excited. This guy. It's like a holiday.
"Yuan Jian, you pinch me." Pei Yuanshao stretched out his arm in front of Liao Hua and said like a dream, "I shouldn't be dreaming, right?" Is Cao Jun really defeated? Did we really win? ”
"Isn't that right?" Liao Hua smiled, took a knife and knocked Pei Yuanshao on the arm hard.
Pei Yuanshao belched and screamed, and scolded angrily: "Liao Hua, you thief bird, you are really dead?" ”
Liao Hua snorted twice and said coldly, "Look at your little bit of energy." What is this? Follow Childe, and you will fight bigger and more hearty victories than this in the future. ”
Yuan Wei was surprised when he heard this, this Liao Hua is quite good at talking.
After half a night of counting, the seizures were finally counted.
Liu Ye took the final statistics and trotted over to report the good news to Yuan Wei: "Son, in this battle, our army has beheaded more than 500 people, captured more than 1,200 people, and also captured more than 20,000 stones of wheat millet, more than 500 tents, and more than 200 ox carts. There are more than 400 cattle and donkeys, and more than 4,000 armor. There are more than 2,000 ring-headed knives, more than 1,000 longbows, spears and long halberds and other long weapons, a total of more than 5,000 pieces, in addition, after the Cao army broke and fled, almost all the armor on his body and the weapons in his hands were thrown away. ”
After listening to the figures reported by Liu Ye, General Ji Ling was overjoyed.
Pei Yuanshao and Liao Hua, the two yellow turban thieves, applauded even more, but now, the yellow turban thieves under their command no longer have to worry about having no armor to wear and no weapons to use.
After Liu Ye finished reporting the seizure figures, he then said to Yuan No: "Son, I expected that our army would win this battle, but I didn't expect that it would win such a big victory!" Is this really Cao Jun? ”
"One general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted." Yuan Wei waved his hand and said, "This is indeed the Cao army, the elite army under Cao Cao who can fight well, but no matter how elite the army is, if there is no excellent commander to lead them, but there is no doubt with a group of sheep, Ziyang should have read the allusion to the last battle, right?" ”
"Naturally read." Liu Ye said, "The battle of the back of the water is also called the battle of Jingcheng, Han Xin lined up with 30,000 rabble, and broke the 200,000 elite army of Zhao State in the first battle, which can be called the swan song of the soldiers!" ”
"That's it." Yuan Wei said, "Han Xin with 30,000 temporary gathering of peasant woodcutters, with extremely rudimentary armament, can still defeat the 200,000 elites of Zhao State in a dignified battle, although our army is small, only 2,000 people, the difference in strength is far less than the disparity in the last battle, not to mention that our army is still ambush and fire, if it can't win, it will be strange." ”
Yuan No's words were compared to himself and Han Xin, Liu Ye smiled and didn't say anything, if you want to talk about using soldiers, Gongzi can indeed be called a soldier, Liu Bei, Wang Zhong, Liu Dai and others are naturally impossible to compare, but compared with Han Xin, the immortal of the soldier, I am afraid that there is still a lot of gap, of course, Liu Ye will never say this.
Ji Ling, Li Feng, Liao Hua, Pei Yuanshao, and other generals also surrounded one after another, and Ji Ling said: "Childe, from the perspective of time, Gushi's side is almost at war, but I don't know if Wen Xiang and them can also win a big victory?" ”
In this battle, Yuan Wei was really bold enough, under the premise that the original strength was not superior, he even dared to divide his troops, and set up an ambush in the gourd valley with less than 2,000 elite veterans, ambushing Wang Zhong and Liu Dai's 8,000 Cao army, but with 5,000 yellow scarves and Xu Sheng's 500 Xiao cavalry, he attacked Liu Bei's camp at night.
I have to say that the battle of Dabie Mountain really made Yuan Wei confident.
Defeating Zhou Yu was just a fluke to win, but it also made Yuan Yu's heart transform.
It's like playing chess, playing against a low-level opponent, your level will never be improved, but if you play with a high-level opponent, your chess strength can improve quickly in a short period of time, especially after defeating the master, your self-confidence will be greatly improved, and no matter who you face from now on, you will no longer be afraid of a fight.
It is true that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated, but can Yuan Wei's knowledge of two thousand years be underestimated?
As a history lover, Yuan No has too many classic war examples in his head, as well as too many classic tactics, and it is fundamentally unfair for him to confront the ancients of this era, because Yuan No is simply standing on the shoulders of giants and confronting these unvirtuous ancient saints, for example, the guerrilla tactics of ** Temujin's Mangu tactics!
Yuan Wei smiled and said firmly: "Don't worry, the old general, Gushi will definitely be a big victory." ”
This is not a boast, but because Yuan Wei has calculated everything, just wait for the defeated army that fled from the gourd valley to flee back to Gushi, and report the news of the collapse of the 8,000 Cao army to Liu Bei, Liu Bei's fighting spirit will be weakened by eight points first, Liu Bei will definitely think, even the elite of the 8,000 Cao army has been defeated, is he Liu Bei still able to turn the tide?
Once Liu Bei is timid, let alone Liu Pigong.
Therefore, when Xu Sheng led five hundred horsemen to start the conflict with Liu Ying, plus five thousand yellow turbans holding torches high, and bluffing all over the mountains outside Liu Ying, if Liu Pi Gongdu's yellow turban thieves can still not be chaotic, then they are not yellow turbans, but the elite of a hundred battles under the command of Cao Lao, so the Yuan army will definitely win a big victory in the battle of Gushi!
As Yuan Wei expected, the five hundred horsemen led by Xu Sheng really won, and it was really a big victory!
At this moment, Liu Bei's camp has become a mess, and countless yellow turban thieves are rushing in the chaos, constantly squeezing each other, constantly trampling on each other, and then constantly cursing each other.
In the midst of the chaos, a general of the Yuan army, with a double halberd on his back, clashed out of the firelight.
Suddenly, this general of the Yuan army found Liu Bei from the countless chaotic troops, so he immediately took out an iron-tired bow from behind the saddle, pulled the bow and arrows, and shot at Liu Bei with an arrow.
"Brother, be careful!" Guan Yu couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly waved the Green Dragon Glaive Knife to block it, but when Guan Yu raised the eighty-two pound Green Dragon Glaive Knife to block it, it was empty.
Guan Yu's heart was suddenly shattered, and Liu Bei himself seemed to be frozen, not dodging or dodging, he could only watch that little cold star penetrate the void in an instant, and shoot like lightning, just when Liu Bei thought that he was going to die, a snake spear appeared in front of Liu Bei like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.
"Dang!" A clear sound of gold and iron resounded in the night sky.
But it was Zhang Fei who used the Zhangba snake spear to block the arrow shot at Liu Bei when he couldn't do anything!
"Pifu Hugh is going to be rampant, Yanren Zhang Fei is here!" Zhang Fei blocked the arrow that was shot at Liu Bei, and then brandished the Zhangba snake spear and rushed forward to the general Yuan Jun. (To be continued......)
