Chapter 433: The Battle of Yuanshan

"The encounter of heroes in the world is always so unexpected."

This is a sigh when Wang Yu was chasing beauty alone on the bank of the big river that day, and met Lu Bu on a narrow road. With Wang Yu's fame, the battle of the dragon and the tiger attracted wide attention, and this sentence also spread through various channels and was widely known to people all over the world.

When the morning sun rose and the fiery red and brilliant light reflected by the sea of flags on Phoenix Mountain came into view, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but squint his eyes and let out the same sigh.

It stands to reason that as Cao Cao's most relied on military advisor in terms of strategy, Xi Zhicai should not regard the person under the character 'Xu' as an opponent, and his counterpart in the Qingzhou army is Jia Xu, who is known as a poisonous soldier.

But Jia Xu is too low-key, and he has never had anything to do with him when he goes out to show off and takes on work. If it weren't for the fact that in the battle of the Yangren, the lieutenant Li Yifeng sent by Zhang Miao witnessed his actions and exposed the fact that he planned to drive the people into battle, I am afraid that few people would know that there was such a figure hidden in Wang Yu's strange use of troops.

Although the intelligence work in charge of Xi Zhicai is also walking in the dark, he often goes to the front line, while grasping the latest information, he directs and dispatches at the fastest speed, unlike Jia Xu, who is always hidden in Wang Yu's shadow, which makes people secret.

If the opponent is the opponent, Xi Zhicai can't even determine whether the head-to-head battle will happen, whether it has happened, and what the final outcome will be.

Even if he is a strategist, the depression in the first half of his life still makes Xi Zhicai always hold a fire in his chest, and only when he encounters a strong enemy and wins the battle can he vent it. It won't hurt yourself.

Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi!

Exactly the opponent he had been waiting for!

When he first heard this name, Xi Zhicaigen didn't take it seriously, a scout who is a scout and competes with the main general, even if he is a little smart, there is nothing to pay attention to.

When the Hebei War began, when Xi Zhi entered Xuzhou, he was surprised to find that Wang Yu had sent this unqualified scout to deal with him! What a contempt for oneself!

First heard of this. Xi Zhicai only felt a strong sense of resentment.

This contempt did not make him careless, but made him more energetic. The negligence of the enemy is God's favor for himself, which is the maxim that Xi Zhicai has always believed. He planned to give Wang Yu a big surprise in Xuzhou and completely reverse the unbalanced balance of strength between the two armies.

Relying on the advantage of layout in advance, Xi Zhicai compiled a big net in Xuzhou.

If the opponent unravels the net according to the conventional method, he will only be caught in the net unconsciously; Use unconventional means, then wait for these intertwined contradictions to detonate together and turn Xuzhou upside down.

The safest thing is to wait and see what happens, but that is also waiting for death. When the separatist forces such as Zhenrong and Xue Li gain a firm foothold, Tao Qian, the Xuzhou pastor, will become the prime minister of the East China Sea.

At that time, Xi Zhicai was very confident, thinking that even if Jia Xu came in person, as long as he didn't come with the army of Qingzhou. can't break the game, and if you can maintain the status quo, it's already remarkable.

At the beginning, Xu Shu also showed that he was at a loss. But that's just an illusion.

When Xu Shu really showed his edge unreasonably, including Xi Zhicai. The whole of Xuzhou and those who followed the situation in Xuzhou were shocked. The crazy assassination directly scared away Xue Li, who was born in a famous family, and forced the reckless but ambitious Zhen Rong to retreat, and the haze shrouded in the sky over Xuzhou almost instantly dissipated.

The fish is not dead, but the big net that Xi Zhicai painstakingly weaves is broken.

At that time, Xi Zhicai had an understanding and knew that he had lost this secret battle, and his subsequent efforts were just out of the need to save face. Therefore, when he found that Sun Ce waved his army north, Xi Zhicai walked very simply, without dragging his feet at all, and gently and skillfully avoided Wang Yu's strategy of driving away the wolf and the tiger.

But Xi Zhicai will not be complacent because of this, and when he left Pengcheng, his heart was full of frustration.

This time to guide Zang Ba and drive the wolf to gobble up the tiger, it was the second contest between him and Xu Shu, he had the upper hand at the beginning, and he saw through Xu Shu's strategy several times in a row, causing him to suffer unprecedented heavy losses.

In the all-out assassination operation in Xuzhou, Xu Shu lost less than ten people, and in a series of ambushes against Taishan thieves, the special combat team lost nearly 100 personnel!

Of course, Xi Zhicai will not be complacent because of this, let alone underestimate the enemy, he knows that the young countryman and opponent will not give up easily, and he is always waiting for the other party's counterattack.

Despite all the preparations, when Xu Shu's counterattack officially began, Xi Zhicai was still taken aback, this way was really unexpected......

Xu Shu actually led the crowd to come out!

According to the original plan, Zang Ba's army should have rushed to Yuanshan last night, but near evening, the scouts in front reported that they had found the enemy's traces. Knowing that Xu Shu was a resourceful person, and the Qingzhou Army had a tradition of fighting night raids, of course Xi Zhicai did not dare to take the risk of marching at night.

Originally, he still thought that this was just Xu Shu's harassment method, who would have thought that as soon as he entered the army today, he suddenly found that Xu Shu had put on a posture of going to fight!

If it weren't for the fact that he knew that the Hebei War would not end so quickly, and even if it did, Wang Yu would not have been able to lead the army back in time, Xi Zhicai would really think that he didn't check for a while and crashed into the pocket formation of the Qingzhou army. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain how Xu Shu managed to come out with such an army.

The number of soldiers and horses arrayed on the gentle slope of the southern foot of Phoenix Mountain was not large, only about 10,000 people, and the number was only one-third of Zang Ba's army. But it was neatly arranged in a sharp shape, with sharp forwards and steep wings, and the long rear line dragged out of the lixu, square and neat, looking quite imposing.

"It's not the Qingzhou Army, it's the people!" Xi Zhi is resourceful, but there are few opportunities to really go to the battle in person, and he does not have much actual military experience.

"Minzhuang?" Xi Zhicai was full of suspicion and muttered, "What does Xu Yuanzhi want to do?" Bravado? Procrastinating for time? Or ......"

He is not familiar with the details of military affairs, but he is still very familiar with the military book and battle strategy, Xu Shu is in a sharp arrow formation, this formation is longer than the attack, shorter than the change. If the attack fails, it will be difficult for the master to retreat. With a group of people and heroes swinging their fronts to attack, is Xu Shu looking for death?

"What the hell? Kill and capture that Xu boy alive, just ask! Sun Guan looked at the general flag on the hillside viciously, his eyes full of fierce murderous aura.

He was wrapped in a ring of cloth on his forehead, and blood was oozing from it, which was one of the traces of the special operations team's hard work.

The soldiers trained by Wang Yu in the special combat team are not ordinarily strong, although the bandits are also very good at mountain warfare and have made preparations in advance, but they are still a step behind, and they can only rely on the advantage of numbers to pile up. The flying knife almost stabbed into Sun Guan's eyes, and pierced into his eyes, saying that he would die.

In this regard, he not only had palpitations, but also gritted his teeth and hated, and he couldn't wait to dismantle Xu Shu now!

"Don't be impulsive, maybe there is fraud, cough cough ......" Xi Zhicai turned his head to look at Chang Xuan, and before he could speak, he broke out into a violent cough.

"Mr. Xi, Xu He has already sent a letter from there, and he said that he will abide by neutrality...... The messenger was Lu Shan's henchmen, before he came, Xu He was still standing still, even if there was a problem, those on the mountain were definitely not his soldiers. ”

Chang Xuan's face was also very white, but not that weak white, but that eerie white. Even among the Taishan group, Chang Feng is also an alternative, most of the others are from wealthy families, and before they gather together, they all have some friendship with each other, only Chang Feng is a bandit, and he is known for his ruthlessness and cunning.

Cunning also means being thoughtful, so he didn't wait for Xi Zhi to finish asking the question, and he answered the details together.

Xi Zhicai's face was a little quiet, and he was about to say something more, but Xu Shu didn't mean to leave him a chance to think.

"Woo woo ......" The long and mournful horn sounded again, and the heavens and the earth changed color.

The sun suddenly fell, dark clouds covered the sky, and the snow that had been intermittent since yesterday began to fall again, and the snowflakes fell with feather arrows, blooming in patches of purple and red.

The Qingzhou militia actually launched an attack first!

Of course, Zang Bajun refused to show weakness, and launched a counterattack with a scolding and scolding, and the dark clouds in the sky became thicker and denser.

The archers on both sides shot three rounds, but the results were lackluster.

Xu Shu is leading Minzhuang, not the shooting battalion, it would be good to be able to pull out the bow and shoot the arrows, I am afraid that he himself will not look forward to what a brilliant result such an attack can achieve.

The bandits of the Zang Bajun are very good at robbing houses and houses, and they are also very skilled at digging pits and tripping ropes in the mountains, but they don't use too many bows and arrows, although there are also some thieves who are hunters, but hunting bows and military bows are completely different things. What's more, bows and arrows are very expensive, and Zang Ba is willing to give too much minions equipment.

On both sides combined, no more than a hundred people were wounded by bows and arrows, and fell in pools of blood. However, after seeing the blood, the morale and fighting spirit of both sides were high.

"Kill the thief, kill the thief! Defend your homeland! With a loud shout, the huge arrows on the hillside rushed down the mountain at high speed.

"Enter Qingzhou! A big bowl of wine, a big bowl of meat, eat as much as you want, take whatever you want! The leaders loudly announced the purpose and highest ideals of the trip, and the bandits' eyes suddenly turned from black to red, and they were smeared with a thick layer of blood.

As soon as you charge, you can see the gap.

It was only half the distance that rushed to the halfway point, and the previously neat and neat array of sharp arrows became two sections that were disjointed before and after; By two-thirds of the way, the wings of the arrow had become crooked.

However, the momentum of this army was extremely vigorous, and there was no intention of stopping the whole team at all, or fearing it, so it took advantage of the mountain situation and rushed down with all its might, as if everyone was an elite soldier in a hundred battles.

"Boom!" In the end, the two sides collided together without any tricks, and the plasma suddenly burst out, and at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, a huge red flower bloomed proudly.
