Chapter 580: Father and son are of the same heart
"Gotta ......"
On the bank of the Yishui River, the sound of horses' hooves exploded like spring thunder, startling countless sorrows, and the soldiers of the Cao Bao Army threw down the rice bowls in their hands, grabbed their weapons from their sides, and ran to their respective posts with shouts.
However, the cavalry who came over with great momentum only shook a shot, and did not even enter the range of the bow and arrow, so they reined in their horses from a distance and swaggered and blew their trumpets.
"Woo...... Woohoo......"
The long sound of the horn was connected from far and near, and to the hungry Cao Bao army, it was like a loud ridicule of the enemy, and they were so angry that they scolded in a tone of voice.
"Damn rabbit cub, what's the matter with running around with a real fight with grandpa? Come on, come on! Your grandfather is here! ”
"Isn't that little general in your family invincible and brave? Is it the fastest to run invincible in the world? ”
"Wang Yu Xiaoer, he has a false name, no guts and rats, and he deceives the world and steals his name!"
This is already the third day that Cao Bao has left Xiapi City, except for the completion of the scheduled itinerary on the first day, the speed in the last two days has suddenly dropped to about the same as a turtle, the reason is naturally Zhao Yun came.
Just like Zhao Yun's own proposal, he perfectly copied Wang Yu's tactic of attacking and harassing the Qingzhou Yellow Turban with light horses. In fact, he did a better job than Wang Yu did at the beginning.
He led the army personally, relying on his keen observation and intuition against the sky, he was able to find the weak point of Cao Bao's army every time, and test or attack it.
If Cao Bao had organized his defense in time, his attack would have turned into harassment and temptation. As long as Cao Baojun slackened a little, he would kick and stab the weak link of the opponent's army formation.
was targeted by such a master, Cao Baojun was also miserable in the past two days, he hadn't eaten a single meal, and he hadn't slept well.
Cao Bao didn't think of a way. But the Xuzhou army had no cavalry tradition, and among Cao Bao's 15,000 troops, there were less than 500 cavalry. Using these five hundred cavalry, he formulated a series of countermeasures and pursuit plans, and as a result, his cavalry establishment was directly reduced by half, and the rest were so frightened that they couldn't even climb on horseback when they heard that they were going to pursue Zhao Yun.
The best thing for Qingzhou light cavalry is riding and shooting. It's too dangerous to chase them. The few lucky ones who survived by luck couldn't even speak clearly when they talked about the painful pursuit experience, according to them. In the past two days, as long as you close your eyes, you will see the arrows flying in front of you, which is extremely terrifying.
The cavalry is not an opponent, the infantry can't catch up, and Cao Bao has no choice, so he can only take turns to eat. Sleeping in alternate shifts, it's better to reduce your speed than to be safe.
This trick has some effect, at least since Cao Bao made adjustments. Zhao Yun didn't do much damage to Cao Baojun, but he came more often. And what makes Cao Bao want to cry without tears is that even if he rotates, he can't get rid of the haunting sound of horses' hooves. Zhao Yun's observation power is too sharp, even from a long distance. He can also accurately find the gathering point where Cao Baojun eats.
So, there is the above scene.
Moreover, because Cao Bao paid too much attention to the defense of the large camp on the shore, he was attacked by Zhao Yun by taking advantage of the situation, clearly harassing the large camp, and as a result, he went to the water camp to make trouble.
The cavalry fired a fierce shot of rockets, and dozens of fireboats floated down from the upstream, and in two flank attacks, most of Cao Bao's fleet was burned in one go. If Yuan Shu hadn't received 30,000 pieces of corn in time, Cao Bao's grain and grass would be a little insufficient.
Cao Baojun has hated Zhao Yun to the core, if the eyes can kill, 10,000 Zhao Yun will also die, but in reality, they can only jump to scold. Even if the person who scolds the most is asked to chase them out, they will only shake their heads into a drum.
Seeing that there was no gap, or that the goal had been achieved, the white horse knight made a gesture, and the Qingzhou cavalry closed the team and left. Cao Baojun cursed, returned to the camp, found his rice bowl, and began to swallow the already cold food with dust and cold wind.
Why is the life of our soldiers so bitter!
"Leopard, this is not the way to go. Let's attack Tancheng in three days, but now, the general will arrive in Liangcheng. If you go at this rate, you may not be able to see the city wall of Tanxian County in March. ”
"The morale of the brothers can't be ignored, everyone can't even eat well, and they can't sleep well, so if this goes on for a long time, how can they have the strength to fight."
Xu Tan and Zhang Zhen are on one side, and you say everything I say Cao Leopard's head is as big as a fight.
He waved his arms and shouted in exasperation, "What's the use of you telling me this? What can I do? I used cavalry to counteract before, but didn't you see it too? The five hundred cavalry are gone, and Zhao Zilong killed thirty or fifty alone, you say, what can I do? ”
Xu Tan and Zhang Yi invariably shrunk their necks, and there was a chill on their backs, not because of Cao Bao's anger, but because Cao Bao recalled them, and there was a scene in front of them where the young man with a white horse and silver spear crossed thousands of armies.
Horror, it's terrifying, how can there be such a monster in the world?
“…… That's not the way to go. Xu Tan opened a slap and said with palpitations: "This is a Zhao Yun, five hundred light horsemen, such a cavalry, there are five thousand in Qingzhou!" There are at least five fierce generals like Zhao Yun in Qingzhou! Plus Wang Pengju himself...... Leopard, can we really do it? ”
"Coward!" Cao Bao snorted and snorted coldly: "What's so terrible, no matter how powerful Zhao Yun is, he is also a person, otherwise why didn't he come to rush our formation?" Just going around in circles outside, playing tricks? Ignore him, when his horse can't run, it's his time to die! ”
"......" Xu Tan was speechless.
He didn't think that what Cao Bao said could be realized, the Qingzhou army was one person with two horses, and they were very good at maintaining horsepower, so they wanted to wait until their horses couldn't run, so it was better to look forward to a heavy rain and stop the other party's horses' hooves.
Zhang Yu wanted to say something, but looking at the fierce light flashing in Cao Bao's eyes, he swallowed the words back.
This time, everyone has fallen for the evil deeds of Old Ghost Chen, and it is too late to turn back, so they can only continue to move forward, hoping that Old Ghost Chen is not purely using everyone as cannon fodder.
After sending Xu and Zhang, Cao Bao had a stinky face, paced back to the Chinese army, and as soon as he entered the account, his face collapsed, and he shouted angrily at Chen Qi, who was pouring himself a drink: "Chen Hanyu, are you deliberately pushing us to a dead end?" Didn't you say that if the two sides attack together, Wang Yu will not dare to send troops to meet the attack? What's going on now? ”
Chen Qi drank the wine in his hand unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "General Cao, didn't the old man remind you a long time ago that Wang Yu is cunning and can't be careless?" You camped at night, but the camp was so poorly repaired, and even the fortifications were not complete, do you blame the old man for not reminding you that you were attacked by someone? ”
Cao Bao's old face turned red, and then he defended himself: "If you didn't say that the soldiers are fast, how could you be so careful?" ”
"The old man persuaded the general to start the army quickly, but he didn't say that he wanted the general to go all the way regardless of it." Chen Qi spread his hands and said innocently.
"That'...... Does that make a difference? Cao Bao began to get confused, not knowing if he was too stupid or Chen Qi was too unfathomable, anyway, he couldn't tell the difference.
"Of course." Chen Jue put down the wine cup and said: "Wang Yu is arrogant, no one among the princes dares to face his fierce flames, this time he killed Tao Envoy Jun and invaded the East China Sea, if no one denounces it, I am afraid that the matter will pass like this." The general raised troops, it is the first righteousness, not only has the name of righteousness, but also can arouse the courage of all the princes, no matter how fierce Wang Yu is, the enemy can not besiege the heroes, right? ”
Cao Bao was in a fog and dizzy, but fortunately, Chen Jue finally said something human, and he understood.
"Chen Beijia means...... If Qingzhou sends reinforcements south, will there be princes to help in the war? ”
Chen Qi smiled: "General Cao is really shrewd, this can be described as drawing inferences." ”
"What other princes did Mr. Chen contact?" Cao Bao was excited and worried.
The excitement is that there are reinforcements to help, so there is no need to rush against time. The annoyance is that the more princes join, the more troubles there will be after the war. Although Chen Qi guaranteed that the Chen family only needs Guangling and has no ambitions for other counties and counties in Xuzhou, what about Que Xuan? What about the new princes?
Chen Qi smiled and replied slowly: "The old man is a scholar, how can he have such a vertical and horizontal collar?" The old man just thinks that if the whole body is moved, the princes of the world are very scrupulous about Qingzhou, so the war in the East China Sea will stir up the situation in the world. Let's ask, who will miss this opportunity if you have ambitions in the world? ”
"In other words, there won't necessarily be anyone to help in the war, maybe the war will start somewhere else?" Cao Bao finally got his senses.
"So the old man said that the general has the ability to draw inferences."
Chen Qi smiled and began to point out the key points: "The general is very anxious to raise troops, and the princes of all parties have learned that Wang Yu's foothold in the East China Sea is not stable, and there are not many soldiers and horses, and those who are interested in competing with him will definitely seize the opportunity." Therefore, the general does not need to worry about the Qingzhou army moving south, as long as it advances steadily, this is also time for the princes from all walks of life to react. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the east: "The most taboo thing is that the progress is not the same, and the contact is cut off by others, so that each one can be broken." If both the general and the general Que are in a hurry, it will be easy for Wang Yu to find the fighter. And if the two generals are advancing step by step, even if he has a thousand cunnings, what can he do with the two? ”
In the end, he summed it up like this: "The general does not need to worry about food and grass, although the Guangling father and elder are far away and cannot rush to help the war, it is still no problem to donate some food for the army." As long as the general fights steadily, this battle will be won! After the matter is completed, the East China Sea and Xiapi are all owned by the general, and the old man will join forces with the local wealthy family to protect the general as the pastor of Xuzhou, and will never break his promise! ”
Cao Bao was overjoyed, hugged his fists and saluted: "If this is the case, it is all the work of Mr. Guidance, and the leopard will be rewarded one day." ”
