Chapter 319: Guandu (9)
Looking at the battlefield on the front line, Yuan Shao's brows were furrowed deeply, in a short confrontation, his former convenience could no longer withstand it, Cao Jun's combat effectiveness was really strong, he looked at the situation on the battlefield, and then waved his hand.
Then, the Chinese army of the Yuan army began to approach the battlefield, and Cao Cao obviously cherished the soldiers under his command very much, seeing that Yuan Shao sent the Chinese army to support the battlefield, he naturally also sent the Chinese army of the Cao army to the battlefield to kill,
The fight continued, after Yuan Jun and Cao Jun entered the Chinese army, the war was obviously anxious, and it was difficult to distinguish between the two sides, which made it difficult for Cao Jun and Yuan Jun to see who had more advantages now.
And at this moment, something unexpected happened, Yuan Shao found that his rear camp was suddenly attacked by unknown enemy troops, the enemy's combat effectiveness was extremely strong, under the leadership of the two generals, like a scimitar straight into his body.
Du Chen and Cao Cao obviously captured this situation, and then saw Cao Cao wave his hand, he sent all the soldiers out, only to see Cao Jun swarming towards the battlefield to kill, and Yuan Jun's support was obviously delayed.
An enemy army of unknown origin suddenly appeared in his rear, Yuan Shao naturally did not dare to send all his forces to the battlefield, he needed to have soldiers to stay in the rear to prevent the incoming enemy army, otherwise something would really not happen.
However, on the frontal battlefield, the Cao army pressed on, and the Yuan army obviously couldn't withstand such a huge pressure, the Cao army was strong in combat, and immediately suppressed Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao's rear was even more chaotic, listening to the sound of the fight, the enemy army had already advanced a lot,
On the front-line battlefield, Yuan Shao's army finally couldn't support it. They retreated one after another, leaving Yuan Shao with no way at all.
And now even if he sends soldiers to support, it is obviously useless, and in the end, Yuan Shao can only order Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
Withdrawing the army and returning to his camp, Yuan Shao's mood can be imagined, with such a superior force. He was defeated so miserably, how could this be acceptable to him, and Yuan Shao's expression was not good, so naturally no one dared to step forward to disturb him.
Looking at Yuan Shao's gloomy face, Feng Ji's mood was obviously somewhat apprehensive, he sent troops to attack Cao's army, but now stealing chickens is not a handful of rice, not only defeated, but also lost a lot of soldiers.
Although the casualties have not yet been counted, but obviously not too little, now a defeat, the morale of the Yuan army that was finally mentioned suddenly disappeared, there is no way, under such a strong situation, the Yuan army has been defeated so miserably, which is obviously a huge blow to the morale of the generals.
But compared to Feng Ji's apprehension. Koji obviously didn't care, there was nothing he could do. He is now the hero of Yuan Jun, and now Yuan Shao needs himself very much, so he doesn't care about this matter, if he loses, he will lose, and he will win back next time.
He looked at the silent tent. Then he stepped forward and said: "The lord doesn't need to be like this, there is no harm today, our army has sufficient strength, and there is nothing to fear if we lose some soldiers, and we will fight today." Our army underestimated the cunning of the enemy, so be careful. ”
Koji Yi's words are obviously very useful, although his mention is the premise for deciding to fight by himself, but who let him defeat Cao Jun with a small number of soldiers, so Yuan Shao naturally did not blame him for his courage.
Yuan Shao nodded slightly, but what he was thinking about was another question, in his opinion, the reason why he was defeated was still in the hands of Du Chen, from the beginning of the war, Cao Jun was calculating himself,
From Cao Cao coming up to talk to himself, and then to Du Chen's ditto, all of them are in Cao Jun's calculations, his defeat is obvious, Du Chen's calculations are everywhere, and his defeat is not very wronged.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but think of why he didn't have a talented person like Du Chen to assist him, if Du Chen was assisting him, then it might be Cao Cao who was defeated today, and he might even attack Xuchang City and eliminate Cao Cao.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but think of Du Chen's words, obviously, Du Chen's heart was full of anger at this time, so he spared no effort to go against himself, but there was no way, after all, it was his own side that took the lead in ordering someone to assassinate Du Chen, and the anger in his heart was inevitable.
"If the two masterminds are killed in front of the battle, will Silang no longer be angry?" Yuan Shao's heart secretly thought that he had a faint feeling that the reason why Du Chen was like this was because he was frustrated and Tian Feng and the others conspired to assassinate him.
After this idea grew in Yuan Shao's head, he could no longer throw this idea out of his mind, there was no way, Yuan Shao thought that he had many soldiers, and his only flaw was that he was here at the top strategist.
Thinking back to his group of strategists who only knew how to slap horses, and then imagining Du Chen's strategy when he assisted him, Yuan Shao's heart suddenly became hot, if he could bring Du Chen under his command, would it be too late to dominate the world.
When Yuan Shao was calculating how to calm Du Chen's anger, there was jubilation in Cao Cao's camp, and the Cao army ushered in a great victory in this battle, destroying 15,000 Yuan troops at the cost of 3,000 casualties.
Although Yuan Shao commanded nearly 100,000 soldiers, the loss of more than 10,000 people did not have a great impact, but for Cao Jun, being able to eliminate some of the Yuan army was a harvest, and the Yuan army's battle line was too long, so whether it was replenishing troops or food and grass supplies, he had to drag too long.
Although the Cao army has few soldiers, but the loss of 3,000 people is still borne by themselves, of course, this is secondary, the most important thing is that the confidence of the Yuan army that they defeated in the first battle made the morale they had finally accumulated turn into nothing in an instant, which is the biggest gain of the Cao army in this battle.
Cao Cao was obviously also very happy, for the state of today, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, for the Yuan army to attack, although Cao Cao appeared to be unusually relaxed on the surface, in fact, he was under more pressure than anyone else,
It is an indisputable fact that he is weaker than Yuan Shao in terms of overall strength, Yuan Jun has enough time to spend with himself, but he does not have so much time to fight with Yuan Shao, even if it is a two-to-one loss, Cao Cao may not be able to afford it, so he is still quite worried in his heart,
Guandu is the last line of defense against Yuan's offensive, if Yuan's army takes Guandu, then he will no longer have a position to defend Yuan's army, Yuan Shao will attack Xuchang City in a big way, and whether he can hold Xuchang City, that is obviously unknown,
It is a fact that the city defense of Xuchang City is strong, but if it really comes to that point, Yuan Shao will definitely do everything, even if the city defense of Xuchang City is strong, it is obviously difficult to resist the crazy Yuan army.
Cao Cao knew that coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes was his greatest reliance, and if he lost this dependence, he would become constrained, and Xuchang was his nest, if the nest was taken down, then his majesty would really be gone, so no matter what, he had to hold this last front,
Du Chen didn't think as much as Cao Cao, although he was quite worried about this battle, but obviously not as much as Cao Cao thought, although there were many Yuan troops, but there was no pressure on Du Chen, he was confident that he would defeat Yuan's army and win the war.
In the evening, Cao Cao ordered to make an exception to reward the three armies, although some people mentioned that Yuan Shao would attack at night, but in Du Chen's view, he didn't dare to lend Yuan Shao a guts, after all, how could the Yuan army, which had just been defeated during the day and had no morale, sneak attack Cao's army,
The two military camps were not very far apart, so Cao Jun's cheers obviously reached Yuan Jun's ears, and someone reported the news to Yuan Shao, and Lu Yi proposed at this time to take advantage of Cao Jun's vigilance to attack the camp at night.
But as Du Chen guessed, Yuan Shao was obviously scared by Cao Jun, in his opinion, this was just a means for Cao Jun to tempt him out of the camp, and he would definitely not be fooled, so he denied Lu Yi's strategy,
However, Koji Yi is obviously not a person who gives up easily, although Yuan Shao denied his opinion, but this strategy has always been in Ko Yi's heart, and the jubilant sound from Cao Jun does not seem to be fake, so this is definitely an excellent time for a sneak attack.
Cao Jun is indeed strong, but in the eyes of Ko Yi, they are not enough to see, there is no need for the soldiers of the brigade to follow, as long as the eight hundred soldiers around him are the first to die, Ko Yi is sure that when Cao Jun reacts, he will retreat.
But thinking that this move would disobey Yuan Shao's military order, Lu Yi's heart couldn't help but be entangled, and in the end, his idea finally defeated the military order, as long as this battle was successful, even if Yuan Shao blamed him, it would be difficult for him to do anything to himself.
Soon, Koji Yi ordered the 800 soldiers of the dead soldiers to assemble secretly, and then he pretended to pass Yuan Shao's order out of the camp, and then secretly went to Cao Jun's camp tent.
Du Chen did take it for granted, he thought that Yuan Jun would definitely not attack the camp, so the sentries arranged were not as many as usual, and it was for this reason that the first dead soldier of Liyi touched the outside of Cao's camp very smoothly.
The laughter in the Cao army is still the same, which makes Lu Yi show a little cruel smile, he regrets a little in his heart at this time, he thinks that he did not insist, if he insists on it a little longer, and says that Yuan Shao will send troops, then Lu Yi is confident that he will be able to defeat the invincible Cao army in the eyes of others by virtue of tonight's battle, and at that time, he will be able to reach the point of being above 10,000 people under one person in the Yuan army,
However, even without the support of Yuan Jun, he was confident that he would win the war with the 800 Xiandeng Dead Soldiers and solve the sentries of the Cao Army.
It may be that the heavens want Koji to do something, because the location of Koji Yi and the eight hundred Xiandeng dead soldiers is a place where Cao Jun stores grain and grass, and looking at the stacks of grain and grass, Koji Yi's mood is not to mention how happy. (To be continued......)
