Chapter 494: Yuan Shao broke through
Of course, if there are absences, there will be more, just like Tian Feng and the two of them, which are the extra few people in Cao Jun.
After waiting for several days in Xuchang, Cao Jun made important preparations. This is definitely the best news for the two.
Looking at the neat and tidy officers and soldiers of the Cao Army, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu both sighed with emotion. The reason why Cao Jun was able to develop so rapidly is inseparable from these elite Cao Jun soldiers and soldiers.
Looking at the full faces of the soldiers of the Cao army, it is much better than the Yuan army in Jizhou. Thinking of this, Tian Feng and Fu Zhi's expressions couldn't help but be a little gloomy. Where Cao Jun is strong, it is where he is weak.
In addition to the ordinary soldiers of Cao Jun, what made Tian Feng and Fu Zhu feel most relieved was that they saw the figures of wolves and white horses. These two are well-deserved ace troops of the Cao army, and both of them went out with the army, and it seems that the Cao army has made a profit.
Thinking of this, Tian Feng was somewhat comforted. It seems that the 5,000 military horses were not given for nothing. For this battle, Cao Jun worked hard.
Of course, this is Tian Feng's own idea. For Zhao Fei, attacking Gongsun Chan is for revenge, and since it is revenge, he must bring his strongest weapon. If not, how could Zhao Fei be willing to sacrifice the wolves and the white horse.
The auspicious time has arrived, and the army immediately set off to Jizhou for rescue. And looking at the army of Cao Jun that was slowly starting, Tian Feng finally showed a smile. Although the price is a little bigger, my goal has finally been achieved. As long as the goal is achieved, it is worth spending some energy and material resources.
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. And our classmate Zhao Fei is still on the march. Xuchang and Jizhou are far apart, and there is the Yellow River in the middle, which greatly affects the marching speed of tens of thousands of troops.
At the same time, Tian Feng, who was in Cao Ying, was anxious and helpless. Even though he was in a hurry, the speed of the march could not be raised. Although Tian Feng understood, he was very worried about the safety of his lord.
As soon as the army on Cao Jun's side moved, presumably Gongsun Zhan would know about his move. And Cao Jun's rash intervention in the war will definitely make the war that tends to stabilize change in an instant.
Without Cao Jun's intervention, Gongsun Zhan might not be in a hurry, he would have besieged this Yuan Shao all the time, so that Yuan Jun couldn't take care of each other in the first place.
However, when Cao's army enters the war, the peace of the previous war will be broken. In that case, Gongsun Chan will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry, and he will definitely attack Yuan Shao, after all, Yuan Shao's role is gone.
But fortunately, Zhao Fei had a plan for this. He had already ordered Zhang Liao to lead 5,000 soldiers into battle lightly, and let them go to the aid of Yuan Shao under the leadership of Fu Zhi. The role of these 5,000 soldiers is to respond to Yuan Shao's breakthrough.
Yuan Shao was surrounded by the elite of the Yuan army, if it weren't for Yuan Shao's fear that the elite would lose too much, he would have ordered someone to break through. Such peace and quiet are all caused by the thoughts of Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao.
However, if Gongsun Chan really wanted to take Yuan Shao's life, Yuan Shao would naturally not sit on the ground and wait for death, and he would definitely lead the army to break through at that time. And these 5,000 soldiers are used as surprise soldiers to respond to Yuan Shao.
For Zhao Fei's arrangement, Tian Feng was naturally very satisfied. But in addition to being satisfied, Tian Feng's heart was full of vigilance. Zhao Fei used his troops like a god, and he was afraid that the army had not yet set out to fight, so he had already considered this matter clearly. Such a person has to be guarded, after all, he will be his enemy in the future.
When Cao Jun faced Yuan Shao's Yuan army, all the soldiers of Yuan Jun had reached the point of misery. Because they need to face not only the harassment from the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro, but also the cavalry sweep of Gongsun Zhan.
For Gongsun Zhan's cavalry sweep, there was no way for the Yuan army to do anything. When Yuan Shao led his troops to pursue Gongsun Zhan, he took with him the most elite 3,000 cavalry in the army. And the rest of the cavalry was definitely not above the same level compared to Gongsun Zhan's cavalry.
Moreover, in addition to sending troops to harass the base camp of the Yuan army, Gongsun Zhan also divided the cavalry into a small team of 100 people and plundered in Jizhou. In this move, Gongsun Chan is an imitation of the Karasuma people.
Gongsun Chan has lived in Youzhou for a long time, and beyond Youzhou is the border of the Han Dynasty. If you live on the border for a long time, you will naturally often fight with Karasuma outside the border. And Karasuma Ran often has this method to make Gongsun Chan dizzy, and now Gongsun Chan uses this method to deal with Yuan Shao, and the effect is also surprisingly extraordinary.
Jizhou is a plain with a flat river, and the most suitable is the cavalry that comes and goes like the wind. Therefore, Gongsun Zhan's attack tactics were very effective, but Yuan Jun did not have a good way to deal with it, so now Yuan Jun can only be beaten passively.
The news of Cao Jun's dispatch finally reached Gongsun Zhan's ears. With Cao Jun, Gongsun Zhan is still quite jealous. In comparison, Cao's army was very hot in the Central Plains, and many powerful princes were defeated by Cao Cao. Therefore, Cao Jun's attack, Gongsun Zhan still attaches great importance to it.
On the one hand, he asked Zhang Yan to lead the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army to attack and harass the Cao army, so that the Cao army's marching route would be obstructed, so that the Cao army could not support Yuan Shao in a short time, and on the other hand, Gongsun Zhan finally and definitely wanted to make a move against Yuan Shao.
He had surrounded Yuan Shao for a long time, and now it was finally time to clean him up.
Regarding the strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements, Gongsun Chan was quite dissatisfied at first. Thinking that this is the best opportunity to eliminate Yuan Shao, why should it be so time-consuming to besiege him without attacking. If it weren't for Tian Yu's death to prevent Gongsun Chan from doing this, I am afraid that Gongsun Chan would not be able to bear it.
However, after beating Yuan Jun a few times around Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan began to like this feeling a little. There is no way, make all preparations and wait for people to come, such a good thing to wait for work, I am afraid that no one will not like it.
But the problem is that when Cao Jun comes, he can't wait for work. After all, after Yuan Jun and Cao Jun Binghe were together, their combat effectiveness would still be stronger than their own.
What he relies on to survive is the nearly 10,000 cavalry under his command, which is more powerful than the cavalry, and Gongsun Chan will definitely not be afraid of anyone. But if you fight a tough battle, then you don't have that capital.
And whether it is the Cao army or the Yuan army, they are very strong in foot, but the cavalry is not. Therefore, after the two armies are one, they will definitely deal with themselves step by step. At that time, the encirclement and reinforcement were useless, so he still directly eliminated Yuan Shaohao.
And Yuan Shao, who was surrounded by Gongsun Zhan's army, also got the news, although Yuan Shao was surrounded, there were still scouts who risked their lives to deliver information to Yuan Shao. After all, if Yuan Shao, who is the lord, has no knowledge of the outside world, what a terrible thing it will be.
Knowing that Cao Jun was coming to help, Yuan Shao knew that he had actually broken through. Especially when he learned that Cao Jun had secretly sent 5,000 soldiers, he was even more determined to break through.
With the 5,000 soldiers of Cao Jun as a surprise soldier, it will be much easier to break through by yourself. Because he got the news, these 5,000 Cao troops went into battle lightly, day and night, and appeared here very quietly.
Whether it is Yuan Shao or Gongsun Zhan, both of them are secretly preparing. One wants the other's life, while the other wants to protect his own.
At night, Yuan Shao assembled all his troops and stood by. He knew that Gongsun Chan was planning how to destroy himself, so he categorically did not dare to break through during the day.
Break through during the day, the target is too large and easy to expose the target. Although the night is also full of dangers, it is relatively safe.
Yuan Shao made two preparations, he ordered most of his men and horses to break through to the west, while he led the most elite soldiers in the whole army and Yan Liangwen Chou to break through to the south.
The reason for this is that on the one hand, it is more convenient for oneself to break through by having a large army to attract the enemy's attention, and on the other hand, there are 5,000 soldiers of Cao's army in the south to meet him, so it is safer to break through to the south.
Time is going by little by little, and Yuan Shao finally waited for the best picture for the time. You must be careful about the breakout of each item, otherwise if you accidentally hear any news from Gongsun Zhan, it will be an absolute fatal blow to yourself.
Although all the people around him are elite, the number of people is a minority after all. If he is surrounded by Gongsun Zhan's army, then he will be unable to fly, and he will have no chance to run if he wants to.
Seeing the large army quietly heading towards the west, Yuan Shao also began to prepare to break through to the south. However, when the war in the West did not start, he still did not dare to act rashly.
Soon, the large army of Yuan's army to the west was blocked by Gongsun Zhan's soldiers. And after Gongsun Zhan got the news of Yuan's breakout, he was ready to concentrate firepower to eliminate Yuan Shao.
According to the news from the scouts, the Yuan army in the west should be Yuan Shao's large army, so Gongsun Chan naturally did not dare to slack off. He hurriedly mobilized his army in an attempt to annihilate all of Yuan Shao's men.
And Yuan Shao waited for this opportunity, he took Yuan's elite troops to the predetermined breakthrough site, and when the war in the west was stalemate, he began to break through according to the predetermined plan.
Due to the lack of preparation, and the fact that Yuan Shao's troops were all elite, Gongsun Zhan's troops were suddenly defeated by Yuan's army. And just after Gongsun Zhan's generals collected their soldiers, he encountered a sneak attack by an unknown enemy army behind him.
The front and back attacked, so that Gongsun Zhan's soldiers did not have the slightest preparation, so soon, Gongsun Zhan's soldiers were defeated by the combined forces of Yuan Shao and Cao Jun. And it is precisely because of this that Yuan Shao finally escaped from the encirclement of Gongsun Zhan and escaped from Ascension.
After escaping from Gongsun Zhan's encirclement, Yuan Shao looked up to the sky and sighed. Under the threat of others, Yuan Shao has always lived a life of fear. And now that he has broken out of Gongsun Zhan's encirclement, Yuan Shao is naturally comforted in his heart.
The two armies of Cao Jun and Yuan Jun converged, and Fu Zhu finally saw the face of his lord again. Seeing Yuan Shao, who looked a little embarrassed, his mood was somewhat gloomy. He hurriedly stepped forward, and then asked anxiously, "My lord, are you all right?" ”
