Chapter 332: The First Battle of the White Horse

(Thanks to the Great Alliance, the Dragon Boat Festival is rewarded!) Thank you Zhao Wuxian 2014, ranky, and one more helmsman, thank you. Same as Xie ufgw, Ye Songye's real name 0828, just love a little star)

The beginning of the Battle of Guandu was exactly the same as Ma Han's original war games.

Yuan Shao, with Yan Liang as the vanguard, led 5,000 soldiers and horses, including 500 cavalry, 3,000 soldiers, 1,000 auxiliary soldiers, and 500 servants. As a vanguard army, the proportion of such war auxiliaries is already quite high, if Cao Cao has the same 5,000 soldiers and horses, I am afraid that the proportion of war auxiliaries will drop by one.

At this time, Puyang was already empty, and a large number of people and property had been transferred, and there was no longer any value in garrisoning. Therefore, Liu Yan, the Taishou of Dongjun, stationed 2,000 foot soldiers in Baima, so that two important crossings of the Yellow River: Yanjin and Baimajin could be included in the defensive range.

Hakuba is a small town, with only a low earthen fence and seven or eight exits, with a wooden fence as a gate, and it is not very defensive. However, since Cao Cao designated this place as the first stronghold to defend against Yuan Shao, Liu Yan has been engaged in fortifications.

Heightened the earthen enclosure, blocked the gates, dug trenches, arranged deer barricades, and built three sheep and horse walls to prevent the cavalry from attacking on the west and north sides. If it weren't for the fact that he was in a hurry, he almost wanted to lure Pu to read the novel on his mobile phone, which one was stronger? The mobile phone reading network water is a canal and a moat.

It was precisely because Liu Yan's fortifications were quite well done that Yan Liang's 5,000-strong army was surging like a tide, slapping on the white horse fence, but he was not allowed to enter for a while.

Liu Yan guarded the white horse without losing it, which provided the possibility for Cao Cao's rescue.

Perhaps the hero saw the same thing, although there was no plan provided by Xun Yu to divide the troops and assault, Cao Cao and Xun Yu also came up with a similar strategy under urgent consultation.

The seventh day of the third month. Cao Ang led 3,000 men and horses to attack Yanjin. However, the Huang Zi that was fought was not a counterattack on Hebei, but burned down the Yanjin ferry and cut off Yanliang's back road. It is slightly different from the original Xun You war game deduction, but the different paths are the same, the effect is the same, Yan Liang will divide his troops to rescue. In fact, among Cao Ang's 3,000 men, there were only more than 1,000 new soldiers, and the rest were all servants and people--whether they were setting fire to the enemy or luring the enemy. Soldiers who don't need to be fully armed in the first place, ordinary people, are just as easily competent.

The day after Cao Ang's departure, Chen stayed in the camp, and another army was about to set out. This time, there were as many as 5,000 troops, and more than half of them were soldiers, including many old soldiers and strong soldiers. And the chief general of this army is also one of the few remaining relatives under Cao Cao's account: Cao Hong, the general of Yangwu Zhonglang.

Banner Hunting. The horse's hair is flying, the clothes are vibrating, and the blade is cold.

Cao Cao on the stage sighed with emotion, he still has the capital.

Under the Great Rope. Cao Cao personally brought a divine horse that was eight feet tall (about four feet five), gray and white, with strong tendons and four hooves with a circle of yellow hair. Hand the reins to Cao Hong: "In the battle of Xingyang in the first year of Chuping, he was attacked by Zhuo's general Xu Rong, and Zilian risked his life to let the horse." to be able to swim for the rest of his life. Zilian's words are still in his ears: 'There can be no flood in the world, and there can be no king'. Today, I give this 'claw yellow flying lightning', and there is also a saying that 'there is no battle in the world that must be lost', and I wish Zilian a victory. ”

Cao Hong resigned: "This is the lord's mount, how dare Hong accept it?" No, never! ”

Cao Cao laughed and forced the reins into Cao Hong's hand: "It's just a kick, but the friendship between you and my brothers, why not just ride the ear?" ”

Cao Hong's eyes were red, and he bowed deeply to the ground.

On this side, the brotherhood is deep, and on the other side, it is also a brotherly farewell. Guan Yu, the general who was about to fight with Cao Hong, was saying goodbye to Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.

After saying something like "be careful and cherish" that is not nutritious, Guan Yu glanced in the direction of Er Cao, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, what should this brother do?" ”

Guan Yu's words sounded clueless and quite strange, but if he understood Liu Bei's plans, it would not be strange at all.

What kind of person is Liu Bei? He didn't want to be buried with Cao Cao, he would only stand on the side of the victor - there is no doubt that the winner will be Yuan Shao, everyone in the world thinks so, and Liu Bei will naturally be no exception.

Guan and Zhang are only the first to look forward, saying that they will descend to Lu, and they will vote for Cao, and they will run to Yuan when they say that they will run to Yuan, and they never ask why.

If it weren't for Xiao Pei being taken over by Li Dian and Lu Qian, Liu Bei would have rebelled against Cao and become self-reliant, didn't he do that in history? It's just that at this time, at that time, he has no place to settle down, so he can only follow Cao Cao first, seize the opportunity, and then cross the Yellow River north and find another backer. It was Guan Yu who had this question.

Liu Bei was confident, and said categorically: "Fight with all your might, it is best to play prestige, which can not only relieve the Cao family's doubts, but also make the Yuan family dare not underestimate us." ”

Liu Bei can be said to be well versed in the method of "selling himself" in this era, and knows that as long as the "goods are good", no one is afraid of piercing.

Guan Yu nodded heavily, what a tacit understanding the three brothers had, this sentence was enough.

……

On the tenth day of the first month of March, Yuan Shao's army of 60,000 or 70,000 people, plus 20,000 servants, moved slowly for nearly ten days before he reached Neihuang, which was more than 200 miles away from Yecheng. At this time, the south bank of the Yellow River has already been in flames.

It was really a beacon fire - the sky was dark, countless torches flashed along the coast, and Wang Mo, the vanguard general of the Yuan army and the captain of the Yue cavalry, watched from a distance, was shocked, and stopped at the horse.

As soon as Cao Ang's army appeared in Wating, which was nearly a hundred miles away from Baima, it was discovered by Yuan's army patrol. After hearing the report, Yan Liang also guessed Cao's attempt at the first time, and immediately dispatched the general Wang Mo with 1,000 foot soldiers and 200 cavalry soldiers to intercept it.

With the level of Cao Ang's miscellaneous army, if Wang Mo is on the front bar, even if the number is doubled, it will be given for nothing. Fortunately, Cao Ang remembered his father's instructions before setting off, and he must not fight the enemy head-on, and his role is to be a suspicious soldier. What is a suspicious soldier? The enemy can never see clearly and cannot be fathomed, so he is called a suspicious soldier.

Cao Ang was now suspicious, taking advantage of the late sky, lighting torches and whistling along the river. The more than 300 Yuan troops guarding the ship in Yanjin were frightened, and the army's morale was scattered, and many soldiers untied the cable and released the ship, regardless of the dark and rapid, fled to the opposite bank by boat, and as a result, at least half of the people and boats were overturned and fed the Yellow River carp.

And Wang Mo was also afraid of being ambushed, so he didn't dare to advance, so he only kept sending messengers to the Yanjin camp, asking the defenders to hold on all night no matter what, and Tianming would be saved.

After dawn, the beacon fire was extinguished, and Cao's army never dared to attack the Yanjin camp.

Wang Mo ascended the high hill. Looking at the large woods under the river fog from afar, he couldn't figure out what Cao Jun wanted to do. The only thing he was sure of was that he could neither withdraw his troops nor attack, and he was stuck by Cao's army.

And just when Wang Mo was advancing and retreating, the main battlefield of the White Horse dozens of miles behind him, the main general Yan Liang, looked southwest from the sentry tower of the camp, looking at the dense soldiers and countless banners of the cold wind. Take a deep breath of the cold air in the early morning: This Cao Cao, you really dare to come hard!

The cold air entered the lungs, but the blood was swollen, Yan Liang slapped the railing heavily: "Great, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait, since you're here, hehe...... The order was given to rush four hundred miles to cross the river from Baimajin. reported to the lord, saying that Yan Liang had fulfilled his mission and had attracted the vanguard of Cao's army to Baima, and asked the lord to send a division to cross the river. and Liangli should be annihilated together. ”

I have to say that Yan Liang's move is indeed ruthless enough - ruthless to the enemy, and even more ruthless to himself. If he can really withstand the attacks of Cao Hong, Guan Yu, and Liu Yan from both sides, once Yuan Shao increases his troops. If Cao and Guan are surrounded by 5,000 soldiers and horses, a situation of "double-layer sandwich biscuits" will be formed. With the advantage of Yuan's troops, backup came in a steady stream. In the end, it was a fluke that Cao Hong and Guan Yu could escape, and Liu Yan would not be able to escape the annihilation of the entire army.

Taking himself as bait and blossoming in the center, Yan Liang is confident that he can do this, which is also the meaning of his being a pioneer general.

The Cao army attacked, and the Yuan army, as the invading side, had no reason to shrink into the camp and not fight, Yan Liang slapped the railing again: "Beat the drum and gather the generals." ”

The sky is overcast, and there is a possibility of rain at any time, it is not a good time for the army to start a war, but it is easy to lure Wang Mo away, Cao Hong must seize this opportunity and give Yan Liang a heavy blow. Don't miss the opportunity, the time or something, just put it aside for the time being.

At about the hour, the two armies have completed the arrangement, the strength of the two sides is similar, and the formation is also very similar, all of them are divided into three armies, and they are in the shape of a zigzag phalanx. No matter how you look at it, there will be a bloody fight next.

Cao Jun array, Cao Hong is the central army, and Guan Yu's other department is the right flank. It is worth mentioning that Guan Yu's soldiers and horses do not belong to Cao Cao, and the three brothers are also guest generals in Cao's camp.

Soon, Cao Hong of the Chinese army sent a herald and ordered Guan Yu's right flank to launch a tentative attack on Yuan's army, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see Guan Yu's department make an attack posture, but waited for the herald to return: "Captain Guan replied, there is no need for the army to fight, and Erlang's life is in vain, as long as Zhonglang is willing to cut his love, he will definitely be able to take Yan Liang's head." ”

Cao Hong has always been unaccustomed to the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, especially this Guan Yu, who is tall and always looks at people with his nostrils, if it weren't for the lord's different eyes on this person, Cao Hong would have found an opportunity to clean him up. Well, this attack on Yan Liang and sending Guan to fight the vanguard has this meaning. Therefore, when he heard the herald's return, he was furious, and it was not until the last half of the sentence "It must be recommended that Yan Liang's head be offered" that he swallowed his anger with a shocked expression: This Guan Yunchang, can't he be crazy for credit, right? Dare to say such a thing. And, cut love? What love do you want me to cut? Well, it is reported that Guan has a disease, and Guan is lustful, so he has taken a fancy to it......

Cao Hong's face is very ugly, he has a new concubine room, which can be called a national color, and he is very favored, if his brother (Cao Cao) speaks, he has to give it even if he is reluctant, what are you Guan Yu...... However, if you can really change your face...... Cao Hong waved his hand: "Call ...... Captain Guan, please come. ”

Seeing from afar the beautiful hair bound in a brocade bag, and the majestic posture of galloping a horse wrapped in black shiny leather armor, even if Cao Hongzhi was disgusted, he had to admit that this person did have the posture of a famous general.

Guan Yu bowed his hand, and as soon as his mouth opened, he was interrupted by Cao Hong's face: "Yun Chang wants to ask Hong to cut love, okay!" As long as I can take Yan Liang's head, I will send Ah Luo to the Venerable Mansion after I go back......"

Guan Yu was dumbfounded, and said with a half-sound: "How dare Yu take the bride of Zhonglang, the so-called cutting love is nothing more than begging for a horse." ”

Beg...... Horse? Cao Hong was stunned for a while, and then reluctantly turned from the woman to the horse: "Yun Chang is saying...... Claw Huang Feidian? ”

Guan Yu clenched his fists heavily: "Exactly, I don't know if Zhonglang is willing to ......"

"Take it!" Cao Hong didn't say a word, turned over and dismounted, and personally sent the reins to Guan Yu's hand, "Don't talk about one horse, even if it's ten horses, it's worth it!" ”

Guan Yu took it unceremoniously, and said word by word: "Zhonglang, please sit down, and go back when you go." (To be continued......) R1292
