Chapter 595: Conquering Chun Yuqiong
Cao's camp tent was quite quiet, which made Ko Yi frown. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't know where it was. Koji Yi ordered people to go to Cao's camp to provoke, but the Cao army in the city apparently ignored Yuan's provocation.
And Cao Jun's actions obviously made Lu Yi feel more puzzled, but he obviously didn't know what the problem was. However, thinking that Cao Jun had reached the point of exhaustion, Lu Yi still suppressed this doubt in his heart.
For Ko Yi, as long as he holds on for some more time, Cao Jun will definitely retreat without a fight. Moreover, Lu Yi was also so confident that he said this to Yuan Shao. And Yuan Shao is obviously getting happier these days, because he has already seen that his victory is in sight.
From the anger and helplessness at the beginning, to the joy now, Yuan Shao can be regarded as having experienced great changes. However, looking at everything now, Yuan Shao felt that things were still worth it, and Cao Jun was obviously not his opponent.
Just when Lu Yi was relieved and Yuan Shao was happy, Cao Cao led the elite soldiers of the Cao army to arrive at the place where the Yuan army hid grain after a night of travel. When he arrived at the destination, Cao Cao did not let the soldiers launch a surprise attack, but ordered people to hide.
Although according to Xu You's statement, he found Yuan Jun's grain and grass baggage storage, but this place is really not well defended. Moreover, now is obviously not an appropriate time, in case Yuan Jun finds out that he is fighting hard, it will not be good to be surrounded by Yuan Jun again.
The sky gradually darkened in this blandness, and after a day of reconnaissance, Cao Cao found that Yuan's camp was indeed not very strong. All of them are calculated, and there are only 8,000 combat power in the entire operation, so Cao Cao is confident that he will destroy Yuan's army with his 5,000 elite soldiers.
You must know that now Cao Cao's subordinates are all the elite of Cao's army. Three armies, one for tigers and leopards, one for white horses, and the last one for wolves. The combat power of these three absolute compositions, even if it is tens of thousands of Yuan troops, Cao Cao thinks that they can also fight.
Time passed quickly, but it was quite torturous for Cao Cao. Although he had already found out everything, in order to be able to hit it in one shot, Cao Cao obviously would not attack rashly, he would attack at the perfect time, so that Yuan Jun had no room for recovery.
The hour finally came, the moon disappeared into the clouds, and the sky became much darker in an instant. Cao Cao knew that the time for his sneak attack had finally come. During the day, Cao Cao's army was not idle, Cao Cao ordered people to prepare a lot of things to help burn, as long as he rushed into the enemy camp, Cao Cao could see the skyrocketing fire.
Cao Cao ordered the tigers and leopards to ride and the wolves to attack Yuan's camp head-on, while Baima Yicong flanked from the side, making sure to destroy all Yuan's troops in the camp. Cao Cao obviously didn't want anyone to disturb him and burned all the grain and grass of Yuan's army.
Cao Cao launched a surprise attack on Yuan's camp, but the people in Yuan's camp did not know anything. Guarding this place is Yuan Shao's general Chun Yuqiong, thinking that Chun Yuqiong also had a period of time, he was one of the eight captains of the West Garden in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and later because of his close relationship with Yuan Shao, he took refuge in Yuan Shao.
For guarding this place where birds don't, Chun Yuqiong feels that it is overkill. This is the hinterland of the Yuan army, and it is impossible for any war to occur at all, and if you want to make meritorious contributions, it is obviously impossible to be in such a place.
Moreover, he is the general of Yuan Shao, but he has to obey the orders of Lu Yi, a guy whose qualifications are far inferior to his own, how can Chun Yuqiong bear it. And as time passed, Chun Yuqiong could foresee the rise of Koji.
Now that the Cao army is about to be defeated, if there is no big accident, the Cao army will definitely be defeated. Therefore, Chun Yuqiong has been quite leisurely these days, but the only helplessness is that Koi Yi's status will definitely be completely above him, and there is no way.
On this day, Chun Yuqiong had already gone to bed early, but the sound of screaming and killing made him wake up. Chun Yuqiong had just turned over and got up, and a confidant general outside the tent ran in in a panic.
"General, it's not good, the Cao army is coming, and now the front camp has been broken!" The general said in a panic, it was obvious that he was panicking now.
Chun Yuqiong was slightly stunned, but then showed a slight smile. I thought that there would be no battle in such a place where birds don't, but this is obviously beyond Chun Yuqiong's idea. However, since there is a war, as long as you can win, then you can be regarded as a meritorious person.
Although Chun Yuqiong had this idea, Cao Jun's extraordinary combat power obviously frightened Chun Yuqiong. Cao's army broke through very quickly, and in a short period of more than ten years, his front battalion could no longer hold on.
At this time, Chun Yuqiong realized that the Cao army in front of him was obviously invincible. However, Chun Yuqiong was not very afraid, although Koji Yi did not think that this place would suffer a surprise attack, but he also set up a triple defensive front, and the Cao army broke through only the first one.
Cao Cao was obviously a little surprised, thinking that he had broken through the Yuan army's camp, but he didn't expect that this was only the enemy's first layer of defensive camp. And after breaking through the first layer of defensive front, Yuan Jun of the second layer of defensive front was ready.
However, now Cao Cao can't manage too much, although Yuan Jun is well prepared, but he still has to break through Yuan Jun's camp. Although the Yuan army was well defended, the combat effectiveness of the Cao army was obviously very strong, and the Yuan army was far from being the opponent of the Cao army.
As the second layer of defensive front was broken through by Cao's army, Chun Yuqiong felt scared at this time. On the one hand, he ordered people to ask Yuan Shao for help, and on the other hand, he mobilized all his forces and prepared to defend the third front.
In order to prevent Cao's army from besieging and killing the soldiers he sent to ask for help, Chun Yuqiong sent a number of scouts and broke through from different directions. Although there were soldiers on the periphery who were searching for fish that had slipped through the net, it was obviously impossible to shoot all the enemy troops who asked for help.
However, Chun Yuqiong also knew that asking for help belonged to the distant water and could not save the near fire, and whether he could defend it still depended on himself. If you can't defend yourself, then you will only have one dead word.
And Cao Cao was obviously surprised, he couldn't imagine that the Yuan army camp, which didn't look very well defended from the outside, had a murderous intent inside it, and broke through the two positions, but he still didn't see the grain and grass of the Yuan army.
Cao Cao thought that he had been deceived, but he thought that there was such a tight defense in an unimportant place, and it was obvious that there were many secrets here, so Cao Cao definitely wanted to take the camp of Yuan's army.
However, the third defensive front is obviously much more important than the first two formations, so the defense is also very tight, although Cao's army is strong, but it obviously cannot be broken through in a short time. However, Cao Cao already had the determination to become a benevolent man if he did not succeed, so he let Cao's army frantically attack Chun Yuqiong's camp.
The Cao army was so desperate to attack, and the third defensive position where Chun Yuqiong was located soon could not withstand the crazy attack of the Cao army. But even so, Chun Yuqiong still didn't dare to order a breakthrough, because what he was guarding was all the grain and grass of Yuan's army, and if there were any losses, he would definitely be cut down by Yuan Shao.
In Chun Yuqiong's uneasy mood, the night had passed, and the sun was slowly rising, but the attack obviously did not stop. Cao's soldiers had been attacking all night, and Chun Yuqiong's third defensive position was already in jeopardy, and Yuan's reinforcements were apparently unknown.
At this time, Chun Yuqiong finally couldn't sit still, Cao Jun's crazy attack made him can't help it, if he didn't break through now, then he might die now, because Cao Jun had already killed Red Eye.
When Chun Yuqiong had this idea, Yuan Shao had already sent reinforcements. However, although Gao Ran and others strongly asked Yuan Shao to focus on rescuing Chun Yuqiong, Lu Yi suggested to Yuan Shao to storm Cao's camp.
There are reasons why this is so, firstly, Koji believes that his means can prevent Cao's attack; Secondly, the Cao army drew a large force to attack Chun Yuqiong, so today's large battalion must be easy to conquer with few soldiers.
Yuan Shao obviously supported Lu Yi's strategy, as long as he broke through the Cao army's camp, it would be able to cut off the Cao army's way back, and at that time, it would be too simple to destroy the Cao army. After all, today's Cao Jun is in the hinterland of the self-army.
Yuan Shao ordered Gao Ran to lead 3,000 light cavalry to rescue Chun Yuqiong, while Yuan Shao led Lu Yi to gather men and horses and storm Cao's camp. However, what Li Yi didn't know was that he was so confident that he could defend Cao Jun's camp was already in jeopardy, and he couldn't imagine that the camp he had worked so hard to build would be conquered by Cao Jun in just one night.
When Gao Ran was very angry and led his troops to the Yuan army's grain and grass hoarding place, when he saw the scene in front of him, he knew that he was afraid that his trip was in vain. The flames were so bright that even a fool knew that the camp had been conquered by Cao's army, and the grain and grass in the camp had obviously been burned.
Gao Ran is not a fool, he knows the role of this camp very well, the entire camp is hoarded with grain and grass to supply the front line, after these are burned, 100,000 Yuan troops will face the dilemma of lack of food. If you don't want to solve it, then Cao Jun really has only one way to die.
Gao Ran hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the army, but a sudden white horse cavalry intercepted his return. After fighting with Gongsun Zhan for a long time, Gao Ran could naturally see that this cavalry was the white horse of Cao Jun's righteous servant.
The 3,000 cavalry he brought were all light cavalry, so it was obviously very difficult to deal with the white horse righteousness. The white horse is good at riding and shooting, which has obviously restrained his three thousand light horsemen.
The soldiers of the White Horse Yicong soon launched an attack on the Yuan army, and their magical archery skills were not in a good way, and now all they could do was to abandon the car and protect the commander. Let a group of cavalry go to entangle with the White Horse Yicong, while he himself leads the rest of the soldiers to leave. This is the only way, otherwise his 3,000 cavalry will definitely be lost here.
Gao Ran ordered the lieutenant general to lead a thousand cavalry to contain the white horse Yifu, while he led his troops to withdraw quickly. Although Bai Ma Yicong had the intention to keep all the enemy troops, they were obviously powerless, and after being pinned down by a thousand enemy light cavalry, they were unable to continue to pursue Gao Ran and the two thousand cavalry under his command, so they could only watch the enemy leave.
