Chapter 666: Battle Karasuma Ichi
Cao Jun was already ready to go, and he had been fighting with Yuan Jun for a long time, but the soldiers of Cao Jun had been holding back for a long time. Killing all the way from Yecheng to Jixian County, the soldiers of the Cao army felt like they were dreaming. Because most of them were Cao's army, as soon as the army arrived, the enemy army would surrender.
Not having to fight means not having to die, and that's a good thing for soldiers. But for the unruly Cao army soldiers, it would be a shame to take down the enemy army without blood. The strong prestige of the Cao army cannot be tarnished, and this is the glory of all the soldiers of the Cao army.
Now that he is going to have a decisive battle with Karasuma, the soldiers of the Cao army are all in good spirits. Although they have not come into contact with the Karasuma cavalry, their reputation is miraculous. A man who lives on horseback by nature is born with an elite cavalry.
For the title of this species, the one who cares most is obviously the elite cavalry of the Cao Army, the tiger and leopard cavalry. There is no doubt that the tiger and leopard riders are the elite of the Cao army, but their reputation is obviously not urgent, and the wolves and white horses are more fed, which is also something that Cao Chun, the leader of the tiger and leopard horses, is quite distressed about.
Now, the entire tiger and leopard ride Cao Chun alone has the final say. As for the deputy commander, Cao Ang, was removed from the post of deputy commander of the Haw Par Cavalry. In this regard, Cao Ang obviously resisted. However, this order was jointly issued by Cao Cao and Zhao Fei, and even if Cao Ang was dissatisfied, he had no way to refute it.
The reason for this arrangement is that one is because of the concern for Cao Ang's safety, and the other is to let Cao Ang start to contact political affairs. Only by accepting the experience of political affairs can it be possible to be proud of the dragon for nine days and become a qualified lord.
Although Cao Ang was helpless, he could only accept this fact. Moreover, he is Cao Cao's eldest son, and all this is his fate.
Without Cao Ang, Cao Chun lost a reliable brother. But that's fine, without Cao Ang, Cao Chun doesn't need to worry about Cao Ang anymore. After all, Cao Ang is the eldest son of the lord, and if he really has any problems, he will definitely have no face to explain to Cao Cao.
Although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is still the hidden elite of the Cao Army, the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry have participated in many important battles. Even though Cao Cao wanted to hide the tiger and leopard riders, their prestige was gradually exposed. After all, the elite is the elite, even if it is hidden, it is not willing to be leaky.
In the past battles, although the tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers were able to take charge alone, they obviously did not have such a big battle as today. Karasuma's tens of thousands of troops are all cavalry, and he is also a cavalryman, Cao Chun wants to know whether the rumored Karasuma who lives on horseback is more powerful, or whether his own tiger and leopard cavalry is more powerful.
The Cao army attacked, and the Karasuma army apparently entered a state of readiness for war. Eventually, he used his prestige to conquer many of Karasuma's tribes, and he united the entire Karasuma in an instant. Although the alliance between the Karasuma ethnic groups seems to be hasty, the alliance is a union after all.
The tens of thousands of troops made the momentum of the Bun Dun high, and in his opinion, it was a matter of time before he defeated the Cao army. According to the news from Yuan Xi, Cao Jun's combat strength is good, but it is only limited to foot, and as for mobility, Cao Jun is the opponent of the clansmen.
Cao's army did have strong cavalry, but there were very few of them. However, there was one thing that surprised Badun, there was an elite cavalry and archery unit in the Cao army named Baima Yicong, which had the same name as the cavalry that dominated Youzhou and made foreigners fearful.
For this powerful cavalry, the Karasuma people obviously admired it very much. The admiration of the Karasuma people is that they are strong, and when Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong was in Youzhou, I don't know how many Karasuma people died in the hands of this terrible army. There are not many of them, but they can fight well and talk about riding and archery skills.
Fighting with such a cavalry is quite a headache. In particular, the white horse is a light horseman, and they will only entangle you. Entangled with Bai Ma Yicong is obviously the most troublesome, and he can't catch up. If they don't chase it, they will take the initiative to come up and entangle. In the face of such cavalry, the Karasuma people had no choice.
However, only a thousand white horse Yicong was obviously not taken into account, after all, he commanded tens of thousands of elite cavalry, and tens of thousands of cavalry were obviously not afraid of a thousand. There are many ways to deal with those thousand cavalry.
Cao Jun either didn't send out the former White Horse Righteous Servant, if he felt the shock expelled, then the Gang Dun would have the ability to destroy Cao Jun's arm. As long as the Cao army, the only former cavalry, is eliminated, the Cao army will no longer be able to jump.
Leading tens of thousands of cavalry under his command to fight the two Yuan brothers, Yuan Xi was naturally very happy to see so many Karasuma troops. But in the face of Karasuma's idea, Yuan Xi obviously disagreed, he thought that now to deal with the Cao army, it is necessary to hold the important ground, first block the Cao army's troops, and then talk about how to defeat the Cao army.
However, although the patriarchs did not agree with Bunton, Bunton was obviously very interested. He knew that Cao Jun was now in full swing. I have to say that fighting requires morale. Cao's morale was high, and it was obviously difficult to deal with. Destroying the morale of Cao's army first would be better than talking about a decisive battle.
When Cao Jun learned the news, Tian Chou immediately secretly scolded the two brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang in his heart for being shameless. It's just that they brought in Karasuma, and now they dare to teach the Karasuma people how to deal with the Han army. Did these two really forget that they were Han Chinese?
Of course, the reason why Tian Chou was so angry was obviously not because of Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang. In Tian Chou's view, the Karasuma people have only been indigenous, where do they know how to fight, they only know how to rampage with their own brute strength.
Therefore, Tian Chou expected that the Karasuma army had gathered tens of thousands, and as long as they made a move, they would definitely go out of the camp of the rampaging subordinate to Cao's army. In order to deal with this group of Karasuma people, Tian Chou prepared a big gift for them, but now, everything about himself has come to naught.
Although Tian Chou was a pity, he obviously didn't know it. In the face of a group of enemies who only know how to rampage, Tian Chou obviously has many ways. This opportunity is gone, just create it next time, Tian Chou obviously won't be sad in vain because of these little things.
But now it is necessary to take one step at a time, and there are Yuan Shang and Yuan Xilian brothers in the Karasuma army, which can be regarded as a great increase in strength. Now, I thought that the army of the pill was guarded, and the Cao army would be very easy to march along the way.
But the heavens obviously didn't want Cao Jun to be so relaxed, and just as the Cao army soldiers were marching towards the city where Karasuma was located, it began to rain in the sky. The rainstorm came quickly, leaving no room for preparation.
In addition to the fresh air, the heavy rain brings a refreshing feeling that makes people feel cool. Don't look at Zhao Fei's high power, he was also poured by the heavy rain. Feeling the damp feeling on his body, Zhao Fei's mood was terrible.
But the heavens obviously did not let Cao Jun go, and in the following days, the entire march was inseparable from the rain. The rain has a great impact on the mental and physical well-being of the soldiers, after all, no one likes to be so damp on their bodies.
When it is wet, it will feel cold, and when it is cold, it will make the human body physically exertional. Therefore, the continuous rain not only slowed down the march of Cao's army, but also made many soldiers sick because of it.
After getting the news, Zhao Fei's mood was obviously extremely bad. What is called being unfavorable for teachers, this is disadvantageous for teachers.
For this Eastern Crusade Karasuma, Zhao Fei attaches great importance to it. First, Zhao Fei hated these foreigners very much, and secondly, Zhao Fei also wanted to establish authority for Cao Jun by destroying Karasuma.
The reason why this happened was because Cao Jun's previous battle was too easy. The soldiers took most of Hebei without bloodshed, which is definitely not a good phenomenon. After all, sometimes getting it too easy can make people think differently.
The Eastern Expedition Karasuma is a proof to the world that Cao Jun easily took Karasuma, and such a proud record will greatly deter Xiaoxiao, so that some people with evil intentions dare not have any other thoughts.
But now, none of Karasuma's people have been seen, but many of Cao Jun's people have fallen ill. How does this not make Zhao Fei feel down, this is like making Zhao Fei happy.
Now, Zhao Fei's biggest concern is whether the rear is stable. If the rear is unstable, it will really be worse for Cao Jun.
However, Zhao Fei's idea soon became a reality, after the Cao army set out. Some people who are not willing to be lonely begin to move secretly. Of course, especially the secret agents sent by Yuan Xi are wandering on the land of Youzhou.
Yuan Xi knew that he had no way to deal with the important ministers in Cao's army. However, for some small people with a little real power, Yuan Xi's promise obviously gave everyone hope, after all, no one lives a mediocre life. They crave power, they crave wealth.
In this case, some small people with a little real power unite. Although they could not deal a substantial blow to Cao Ju's notice, it also put Cao Jun in a stalemate. After all, Cao's army did not go well in the east, and there were problems in the future.
Although the problem is not fatal at the moment, who can guarantee that such a thing is just accidental. Now the mutiny is only a few small people, regardless of the severity, if there are really big people who want to mutiny, then the blow to Cao Jun is obviously fatal.
Today's Cao army is being tested, and Cao Jun's road ahead is very dangerous, because there are only two ways out of the fortress. One of the most famous is the "Coastal Road", located in the narrow coastal plain, which is known today as the "Liaoning West Corridor". And because he is famous, 50,000 people are naturally well defended.
The other one is "Lu Longsai", and this was only known to Zhao Fei after Tian Chou said it. Because in the Western Han Dynasty, the Han and the Xiongnu fought for many years in the area of Youbeiping, and Lu Longsai was still unblocked, but from the Eastern Han Dynasty Jianwu period to the Jian'an period, this road was inaccessible for two hundred years, and there was only a "micro path to follow", basically speaking, this is a road without a road.
What more can you say about a hop that is almost non-existent.
Forcing the storm on the "Primordial Road" is definitely not a good choice, on the narrow plain, how can the Cao army withstand the powerful cavalry of the Karasuma people.
