Chapter 223: Dispatch of Troops
Qingzhou Beihai.
Cheng Yu sat on the head, and Sun Guan, Zang Ba and several members Cao will sit on both sides.
"Our army entered Qingzhou twice, but was repelled by Yuan Xianxin." Cheng Yu said: "This time the Qingzhou army came to help, the number has been more than the Yuan army, if it is defeated again, there will be no shame to return to Cao Gong!" ”
There was no answer.
"General Sun, how many soldiers are there in the Qingzhou Army?"
"Return to Gong!" Sun Guan got up and said: "The Qingzhou army is known as 300,000, and most of them are old, weak, women and children. Cao Gong rewarded the soldiers in Mount Tai to open up wasteland and cultivate fields, and for several years it has been half a soldier and half a plow, but the soldiers and horses are only 30,000! ”
"Yuan's army is less than 20,000, and our army has doubled."
Cheng Yu did not delve into the combat strength of the Qingzhou army.
Half-soldier half-ploughing lack of training and rarely go into battle, the Qingzhou army that rushed to the aid from Mount Tai can only hold the city at best, and the main force of the Cao army must be used to conquer the city!
"Our army has captured Beihai, Qidi, Shouguang, Yiguo, and Dong'an." Cheng Yu continued: "Although Qingzhou is divided into two, it is also a dead end, and the enemy army can only fight to the death!" ”
"The soldiers of Qingzhou are grateful for Cao Gong's kindness, and they will fight to the death!" Sun Guan clenched his fists and said.
The generals from the Qingzhou Army got up one after another and said in unison: "I am willing to fight to the death for Cao Gong!" ”
"Qingzhou soldiers are still willing to fight to the death, how can we lag behind after following Cao Gong for many years?" One of the generals, Cao Jiang, stood up and said, "If the enemy army comes, the only thing is death!" ”
"If the enemy comes, the only thing is death!" The generals belonging to Cao Cao's lineage also stood up one after another.
Motioning for everyone to sit down, Cheng Yu said: "Yuan Tan is not worried, but Yuan Xianxin is treacherous. If it is not broken first, it will be difficult for our army to gain a foothold in Qingzhou! ”
"Does Cheng Gong have a strategy to break the enemy?" Zang Ba asked.
Yuan Shao took Gao Ran as the pioneer and Guo Tu as the military advisor. Gao Ran lives in the courtyard pillar of Hebei. has always been arrogant, how can he be willing to condescend to the position of pioneer? Guo Tu is good at meeting horses, although he has wisdom, he refuses to show it! Yuan Xianxin has the ability to reach the sky. And how can you win against me? ”
"Zang Ba!" Cheng Yu shouted.
"The last general!"
"Lead five hundred cavalry, and quickly go to Licheng to intercept Gaolan! Only defeat is not allowed to win! Lead the enemy to Jinan. Decisive battle again! ”
"No!"
"Sun Guan!"
"The last general!"
"Lead the 3,000 Qingzhou army to set up an ambush in Jinan, and Gao Lanyi will cooperate with Zang Ba to annihilate the enemy army!"
"Cheng Gong rest assured!"
"The rest of the generals are guarding the city and passes, beware of Yuan Tan's attack!"
"Order!" Everyone stood up!
Cheng Yu dispatched troops, and Yuan Xu had led the army into Qingzhou.
Gao Ran led a thousand soldiers and horses to open the way.
Yuan Xu followed with two thousand men.
"The Qingzhou army is attacking from Mount Tai, and we should have several big battles for the eldest brother!" Leading the way forward, Yuan Xu said to Guo Tu: "Guo Gongzhu, I hope to do my best!" ”
"Why are you afraid of Cao thieves?" Guo Tu said confidently: "Cao Cao's admiration is none other than Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others. Gongzi even broke Cheng Yu, and Cao Jun had already lost his courage. Although the Qingzhou army is numerous, it is nothing but a rabble. Insignificant. ”
Yuan Xu did not speak.
When Yi Jing, Guo Tu was facing Yuan Tan and fighting with him.
At this time, in order to please him, Cao Jun said that it was worthless!
With this person by your side, it may not be possible to count on him to give advice, but it is a good choice to soothe your mind!
"Guo Gong has a wide heart, but he thinks that the enemy army should not be underestimated!" Yuan Xu said: "Don't say it's a person, even if tens of thousands of pigs come, our army will be in chaos!" ”
"That's what Childe said!"
What Yuan Xu said. Guo Tu will follow his wishes.
led the vanguard to open the road in front of Gao Yan, crossed the horse and carried the knife, and his face was not good along the way.
"Yuan Gong has no reason. The general is in the four court pillars of Hebei, and the head of the army is like probing the bag. Looking at Hebei, who is not convinced? I was only a pioneer! Yuan Xu is just a concubine, but he is the leading general......" Gao Lan complained in a low voice.
"That's a lot of nonsense!" Gao Ran glared at him: "Since Duke Yuan has an order, he only needs to obey it!" Dare to disagree. Do you have to punish you for a crime? ”
The general didn't dare to say any more, but his expression was full of resentment.
On the move. A fast horse appears ahead.
The horses galloped and came at a gallop.
Arrived at the high view. The scout on horseback clenched his fists and said, "General Qiyu, the enemy cavalry has been found ahead!" ”
"How many soldiers?" Gao Ran hurriedly asked.
"About 500 people!"
Gao Ran smiled coldly: "Five hundred cavalry wants to stop a certain one, Cheng Yu will not use troops for a long time!" Pass the order down and prepare for battle! ”
The partial general responded, and shouted with a horse: "The general has an order, prepare for battle to meet the enemy!" ”
Yuan Jun stopped one after another.
The heavy infantry strode up with their shields and lances, and with extremely swift movements, they put forward their shield formations, and the long lances looked straight ahead!
The archers drew their arrows and put them on the bowstrings, lined up behind the heavy infantry, their arrows pointing diagonally at the sky, aiming at the direction of the enemy's approach!
The small number of cavalry divided into two groups and galloped towards the two wings, guarding both sides of the large array!
With two partial generals, Gao Ran took a few steps forward and looked into the distance!
A dark shadow floated at the end of the horizon.
There are not many black shadows, and the horse's hooves are flying in smoke and dust, and the momentum is not small!
Standing on the horse, a slight smile of contempt appeared on the corner of Gao Ran's mouth.
The Cao army that was killing head-on was all cavalry, and it was not advantageous to charge in formation.
If he is a general, he will lead the army back and forth to attack and harass Yuan's army!
Cao Jun did not do this, but killed him head-on, intending to use cavalry to counter the heavily armored heavy infantry!
It was Zang Ba who led the army to come.
When he arrived only forty or fifty steps away from Gao Ran, he grabbed the war horse and pointed in front of his sword: "Come and report the name and surname, and a certain general will not be killed!" ”
"You!" Gao Ran's side general answered and shouted: "My general is a famous general in Hebei, how can the name and surname be inquired by the nameless rats?" ”
"A certain is a high view, and the name and surname will be passed!" Stopping the bias, Gao Ran responded indifferently.
"A certain Zang Ba!" Zang Ba replied loudly.
Gao Ran and the two generals glanced at each other, and they looked up and laughed.
The laughter was full of contempt, and Zang Ba's face suddenly became ugly.
"Who is so-and-so, it is Zang Ba who has been defeated again and again, and not a single soldier has been brought back to Xuchang!" Gao Ran waved his hand contemptuously: "If you don't kill you, go and change to someone who is capable!" ”
"Gao Ran is too much to bully!" His face was red, and Zang Ba shouted behind him: "Who captured this thief for someone?" ”
"The last will go!" One of the Cao Jun generals rushed out of the horse and killed Gao Ran with a halberd.
Gao Ran's side was about to step forward, but was stopped.
Riding the horse and taking a few steps forward, Gao Ran looked indifferently at General Cao who rushed up.
"Gao Ran, take your life!" Rushing to the front, Cao Jun burst into a loud shout and poked his halberd into his chest.
Softly snorting, Gao Ran waved the knife forward lightly in one hand.
The sword light slashed, blood splashed, and Cao Jun's generals rushed past him with men and horses.
On horseback, it was just a corpse with a severed head! (To be continued.) )
