Chapter 223: No Peace
The change in the coalition forces was not unpleasant, but Mungo reacted faster, breaking a battalion almost in the blink of an eye, forcing the coalition forces to retreat and turn to a defensive posture, waiting for Mongo to attack.
The coalition's attempt was broken, but Mungo did not continue the attack, Yuan Shao was puzzled, why Mungo did not take this opportunity to storm and attack, just to boost morale, Mungo retreated, this is surprising.
After a short confrontation, Meng Ge did not get carried away, it was not his style to rush and fight, the overlord Xiang Yu was dragged to death by Han Xin, and the lessons of the past must not be careless, although Zhang Liao's breaking formation is eye-catching, but it has not yet reached the point of winning or losing.
Yuan Shao watched Meng Ge leave and was slightly stunned, and then said in ecstasy: "Meng Ge retreats, our army should immediately pursue it!" I wonder what you think? ”
Finally, Meng Ge attacked, of course everyone in the coalition army wanted to take the opportunity to defeat Meng Ge, but as soon as Yuan Shao's words came out, everyone hesitated, Liu Biao sighed secretly, but he shook his head, and he might not be able to please if he caught up.
Without waiting for everyone to think, Yuan Shu hurriedly said: "It should be so, Meng Ge has been lured out, without the benefit of Hangu Pass, our army can fight!" ”
Liu Biao said worriedly: "Without Hangu Pass to block it, it is indeed possible to fight, but it may not be winning!" ”
Liu Biao's words are reasonable, just now the coalition army has been planning for a long time, but it has not left the opponent, which is undoubtedly a blow to the coalition army, catching up, but it is difficult to break the enemy, as Liu Biao said, the victory or defeat is unknown, although the coalition is powerful, but Mongo is not a mediocre hand.
Just when everyone was hesitating, Cao Ying pointed ahead and calmly analyzed: "The retreat formation is not chaotic at all, our army has no chance at all, not to mention that our army can't catch up at all!" The cavalry pursuit is bound to break away from the line, but will become the target of Mongo, our army is equipped with a large shield, the speed of the infantry pursuit is too slow, there is no time to pursue, lost the position, our army is no longer able to resist the Mongo army, catching up is just a loss of soldiers, not to mention that our side far underestimated Mongo, his cavalry battalion should have the ability to overwhelm the surname. ”
Cao Ying told the facts in a few words, the analysis was quite thorough, the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and the enemy were all revealed, Yuan Shao's face also turned from joy to worry, originally thought it was an opportunity, but now it seems that it is a trap, once the cavalry pursues, if Meng Ge turns from defense to attack again, the result may be that the cavalry is completely destroyed.
What are the consequences of losing the cavalry, everyone in the coalition army understands it very well, without the cavalry that can compete with Mongo, then Mongo can attack the coalition army at any time, without worrying about not being able to retreat, Mongo can bite you today, punch you tomorrow, and you can completely beat you without temper.
Thinking about the key to this, everyone's faces became extremely ugly, Yuan Shao had a decadent face, the well-planned battle situation was broken, and the pursuit did not dare to go too deep, who could be willing?
In Caoyang City, the soldiers sent a message to report the military situation: "My lord, the Menggo cavalry broke through the formation in one fell swoop and galloped away!" ”
In just one sentence, Xi Zhicai's face changed again and again, and he secretly said in his heart: "The combat power of the Menggo cavalry is so amazing, and the ability to charge into battle is even better, this has not been reflected at all before, Menggo is consciously saving the hole cards, this cavalry battalion is also one of his hole cards, if the situation is not critical, this hole card must die!" ”
How many hole cards does Mongo have? Xi Zhicai couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, Meng Ge has been misleading others, others think that he has no power to fight back, but the battle of Hangu Pass is just the opposite, Meng Ge's counterattack is so fast, the coalition forces thought that Meng Ge's cavalry battalion would only sneak attack, but now it is the opposite.
Wanting to besiege the cavalry of Mongo is simply a fool's dream, with the impact of the Mongo cavalry, unless they are trapped in the Jedi, there is no army at all to stop them, even the attack power of the Mongo cavalry is unknown, the siege is just a joke.
Thinking of this, Xi Zhicai couldn't sit still: "Back then, Meng Ge was in the Tiger Prison Pass, and with only 2,000 cavalry, he could chisel through the 300,000 troops of the coalition army, how could his cavalry not have the ability to rush into battle?" It's just deception! ”
The way of using soldiers lies in the virtual and the real, and between the virtual and the real can make many people hate, after such analysis, Xi Zhi suddenly realized that he was far from understanding the reality of Menggo!
Mongo did not hesitate, and also did not give the coalition any chance, as long as the coalition dared to pursue, he didn't mind letting the coalition know what a real siege was, but unfortunately the coalition was not stupid either.
Slowly withdrawing from the battlefield, the soldiers did not relax in the slightest, until they were far away from the pursuit range of the coalition forces.
Along the way, Meng Ge looked around the terrain, looking at the terrain is good, there are four high ground to guard, very suitable for the defensive position, but it is a little close to Cao Yang, there is more firewood and grass, in case the enemy sets fire, it will be a big trouble, Meng Ge nodded secretly.
After a while, Xu Rong ran over with a worried look on his face and asked in a low voice, "General, what should I do now?" The pursuit could not achieve results, is it a temporary return to the division? ”
In Xu Rong's view, according to Shouhan Guguan is undoubtedly the best policy, since there is no certainty of victory, it is better to go back to defense, and it is not too late to shoot when there is a chance to win, and it is possible to confront each other head-to-head at any time in the field, not only Xu Rong, most of the generals under Meng Ge have such thoughts.
But Meng Ge smiled slightly: "Set up camp, let's accompany the coalition army!" ”
"This!" Xu Rong was confused, what kind of medicine was sold in the general's gourd? Xu Rong was completely unknown.
"The last general commands!" Confused and confused, Xu Rong immediately took the order.
But as soon as he took two steps, Xu Rong immediately ran back and said solemnly: "General, the last general is familiar with the terrain here, please see, there is too much firewood and grass here, it is easy to be attacked by enemy fire, it is not the best strategy to set up camp here, it is better to change places, although this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not suitable for camping!" General Mingjian! ”
Camping here, the generals' faces became very strange, and they didn't care about it, Xu Huang also came over, arguing with reason: "General Xu Rong is reasonable, the plan of fire attack must be guarded against, the general thinks twice!" The last general thinks that this place is not to be camped! ”
Fire attack, of course Meng Ge understands that he already has a way to do this, so he smiled and said: "Well, that's right, it's indeed a problem, but there is no need to worry about this, order all the armies to burn them, let's burn them ourselves, and the enemy army can't burn them, right?" ”
"This!" The generals were dumbfounded, but after thinking about it carefully, what Meng Ge said was not wrong at all, just burn it, and save the enemy from hiding and peeping in it, this method is indeed feasible.
However, this method is harmful to the heavens and the peace, such a large area of grass is said to burn, what to do in case of a huge fire, if it is just to set up camp, it seems that there is no need to do this.
Suddenly, Mungo pointed to the side and said, "Also, remember to control the location of the fire, you only need to burn this one." ”
Zhang Liao said hesitantly: "General, with all due respect, if it is a camp, it is really unnecessary!" ”
"No, it's necessary, and it's still very necessary, this place is only twenty miles away from Caoyang, within the direct strike range of our army, it can threaten the coalition forces, not only that, occupy this place, the coalition forces can't make a detour to sneak attack, occupy such an important place, the coalition forces can only shrink out, and I won't say much about the rest, carry out the military order!" This time, Mongo's words were particularly resolute, and there was no room for change.
Mungo's strategic intention is very clear, completely compressing the space of the enemy army, forcing the coalition forces to retreat, every time they retreat, it will have an impact on the coalition forces, even if there is no Hangu Pass, Mungo is sure to block the coalition forces, and even press the coalition forces away again until they are defeated.
And distance is often pressure, camping in such a close range is very passive for the coalition forces, if an attack is launched here, it is very likely to stage a scene at Hangu Pass, give up the attack, Mongo will keep harassing, little by little to eat away at the coalition army.
This is the best way to suppress people with power, this is a yang scheme, the enemy can only take the attack hard, so it can further reduce the morale of the coalition army, don't look at the simple camp, in fact, there are a lot of things.
The fire was soon set on fire, and after a while the fire was burning, thick smoke rose high, and the fire spread rapidly, Mungo looked at the fire with a smile on his face, and said secretly: "Since this is not a place to camp, it would be better to create a place to camp." ”
Suddenly, Xiahou Lan thought of something, and hurriedly said: "General, this fire has to burn for a while, the camp cannot be established, our army has not a stable foothold, will the coalition forces take the opportunity to attack?" ”
Meng Ge frowned slightly, and then said, "It's possible, but let them come!" Let them have no return! ”
In a head-on decisive battle, Meng Ge was not afraid, otherwise he would not have pulled out to fight, not to mention that Cao Yingsheng was suspicious, seeing that he was so fearless, he was afraid that he would not have the courage to attack.
The billowing smoke kept rising, and it could be seen from far away in Cao Yang, and everyone frowned, secretly guessing the intention of Meng Ge's move, which was really a bit weird.
Yuan Shu was puzzled and said, "What the hell is this?" Why did you suddenly set a fire! ”
Liu Dai chuckled and said: "Who knows, Meng Ge has always played cards according to common sense, and this time I don't know what kind of moth it is!" Let's be careful, don't let him sneak attack again! ”
"Sneak attack!" Everyone's faces were a little ugly, Meng Ge had already attacked once, but he was stunned that he had no choice, what method could he use to sneak attack Cao Yang, this is incomprehensible, Cao Yang is not a simple camp, there is a city wall to protect it, and it is not so easy to attack.
Looking at the smoke rising high, Cao Ying smiled bitterly: "A sneak attack is unlikely, he wants to confront our army openly!" It was a place to set up camp, and it was just right to burn it, and if it was burned, there was no danger of being attacked by fire. ”
Encamped at such a close distance, except for the confrontation, Cao Ying couldn't think of any other reason, he really admired Meng Ge, he really dared to do this, this courage is not something that ordinary people can have, hundreds of thousands of coalition troops, Meng Ge actually killed it hard, but the coalition army can only defend passively.
Yuan Shao's face became more and more gloomy, the coalition army Chen had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and he was stunned that it was enough to be beaten back, and now people are still chasing after him, this is simply a naked slap in the face, and it is extremely loud.
Yuan Shu's face was gloomy, and he said hatefully: "Fight with him, this Meng Ge looks down on people too much!" ”
Liu Dai immediately sarcastically said: "Fight, you have the ability to go!" If you can defeat Mongo, that's great! ”
Yuan Shu was furious in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Tingshi, the words have to be made clear, of course we will deal with Meng Ge together, this is the time to advance and retreat together, do you want to withdraw from the coalition army?" ”
The last few words almost popped out from between the teeth, this is not polite at all, now the Kwantung coalition army is a grasshopper on a rope, if anyone retreats, I'm afraid that others will not let it go easily, to put it more clearly, that is, there is a rebellious heart.
Yuan Shu clearly said that he had two hearts, how could Liu Dai not hear it, and he was about to refute it, but he didn't know!
Yuan Shao suddenly shouted: "Shut up, the current situation is unfavorable, how can we wait for ourselves to mess up, Meng Ge will not get rid of it, I will not be at peace for a while, everyone has figured it out, don't think that it will be okay if you offend Meng Ge!" ”
The enemy army has not yet come over, but his side has quarreled first, once there is internal chaos, what the consequences are Yuan Shao understands, the reason is also very simple, now he has offended Meng Ge, it is impossible to get out, not to mention that Meng Ge will not let it, even if it is his own people, he will not agree.
"Humph!" Yuan Shu snorted coldly, turned his head, and didn't say anything again, he was yelled at by Yuan Shao like this, he finally quieted down, but the hatred in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, Liu Dai repeatedly made sarcastic remarks, and Yuan Shu wrote it down.
Liu Dai didn't back down at all, turned his head and didn't say anything again, Yuan Shu acted extremely cunningly, as early as when he was discussing Dong Zhuo together, he charged into battle with others, and stabbed his own people without mercy, Liu Dai didn't want to consume troops in these battles, and he didn't want to send too many troops, but he was always targeted by Yuan Shu, how could Liu Dai not hate Yuan Shu.
The good old man Tao Qian hurriedly jumped out to play a round game: "Don't hurt the harmony, the enemy is now, we can't make mistakes, it's still a big deal right now!" ”
It's a pity that once there is a preconception, it is not easy to change, the two of them turned a deaf ear, Yuan Shu arched his hand, and said in a strange manner: "If there is something in the next, leave first!" Everyone's free use! ”
Liu Dai said with a smile: "I expect that the enemy army will not attack today, so I will go back first!" ”
After saying that, the two of them left by themselves, anyway, it was not interesting here, Tao Qian, who wanted to play a round, was deflated, his face was extremely embarrassed, and neither of them paid attention to him, it was completely boring for himself.
The two of them left on their own, and Cao Ying couldn't help but scold: "You can't plan for a vertical son!" ”
"Brother Benchu, I'll go first!" Cao Ying didn't want to stay either, so he left with his hands.
The rest of the people also made their own excuses to leave, each of them had their own thoughts, and if they thought about a lot of things, they would be troublesome, Yuan Shao had a headache this time, and if it continued like this, there would be infighting.
Just because of one sentence, Yuan Shu almost turned his face, Yuan Shao couldn't do anything, who let Yuan Shu look like this, if Meng Ge knew about it, I was afraid that he would secretly cause trouble again, the more he thought about it, the more troublesome Yuan Shao felt, and the surname Suo put this matter behind.
Mongo was setting fire to the city, and if he knew about it, he would have to die laughing, because maybe the battle was not over yet, and their own men would fight first, which was a good show......
