Listening to Yuan Shang's words, Guo Jia couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh. He shook his head, and said sarcastically and emotionally: "Yuan Gong is really considerate to Guo, according to your identity, today, there are almost only a handful of people who can be on the same level as you, just for your identity today, you are willing to come to Xuzhou in person for Guo, just for this face, if Guo doesn't entertain you here, I'm afraid I really live up to your good intentions!" ”

Listening to Guo Jia's sarcastic words, Yuan Shang was not angry, he just sighed, shook his head and said: "Guo Jia, surrender, the Cao clan is finished, the era of division has passed, and the unification of the north is already the trend of the times, what can you do if you want to go against the will of heaven?" ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Really? Not necessarily, right? Think back then, your father Yuan Shao raised an earth-shattering army to cross the river to attack Xuchang, and the world thought that he would win, but in the end, he didn't return in the land of Guandu? To this day, don't you understand that soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. Nothing in this world is absolute, Guo believes it...... Man will conquer the sky! ”

When Yuan Shang heard this, he frowned and said, "So, are you really planning to fight me to the death?" ”

Guo Jia put away the color of the smile on his face, and replied word by word: "If you don't die and carry it to the end, Guo will not have to come here today!" ”

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "Very good, since that's the case, then we don't have anything to say...... Hello do it yourself. ”

Guo Jia arched his hand casually at Yuan Shang and said, "You are the same!" ”

Then they saw the two of them riding and driving back to their respective camps.

As soon as Fang returned to the camp of several rooms, Yuan Shang said to Zhang He, who he had specially transferred here: "General Jun Yi, this battle will be entrusted to you." ”

Zhang He's face was straight, and he said loudly: "Don't worry, the lord can rest assured, although this battle is wrapped up in the last general!" ”

Let's talk about it. I saw Zhang He turn around and say to the herald general beside him: "Command the whole army, prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

In the whistling wind, the sound of Yuan Jun's drums began to 'dong dong dong', the whole army began to change formation, slogans and steps were deafening, every blow shocked the heavens and the earth, and the earth seemed to roar under the hooves of Yuan Jun's horses.

Zhang He raised the spear in his hand and said to the flag commander: "Give the order, order the Wuji Cavalry Battalion to attack first!" ”

With the issuance of the flag order, in the rumbling war drums. The cavalry of the Yuan army, under the leadership of the most elite Wuji cavalry battalion, lined up in a long formation of cavalry to urge the horses in unison, like a torrent of steel that can crush everything, and rushed towards the Cao army.

On the Cao army's side, it was Zhang Liao who was responsible for commanding the soldiers and horses, and when he saw the cavalry that Yuan Jun was most proud of launching a rush attack, Zhang Liao's eyes narrowed slightly, and a light cold like lightning popped out of it, and said: "The crossbowman stepped forward." Prepare to release your arrows!"

Under the command of Zhang Liao, the crossbowmen of the Cao army crossed the shield soldiers, came to the front of the formation, and bent their bows and arrows. Long finger to the sky!

Seeing that the cavalry of the Yuan army was getting closer and closer, and the deafening sound of horses' hooves could almost shatter the eardrums, Zhang Liao silently calculated the pace of the cavalry of the Yuan army, and then suddenly shouted. Look up to the sky and roar.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Under a roar, the hands of the standard-bearers of each department were waved indirectly, and the bows and crossbows that were ready to be fired were like locusts in the sky. Shooting towards the overwhelming cavalry of the Yuan army, like a sudden storm, beckoned to the vanguard cavalry of the Yuan army.

After a burst of arrows, I saw that the vanguard of the Yuan army suddenly fell a large piece, and the people in the field turned on their backs, and the roar shook the heavens and the earth.

However, these losses are obviously in Zhang He's calculations, in the disappearance of the tiger and leopard cavalry today, the cavalry quality of the Yuan army can now be called the first in the world, most of the cavalry did not stop because of the rain of arrows, their speed is getting faster and faster, each cavalry is like a sharp sword, covering the sky and the sun to rush away the rain of arrows, lightning into the camp of the Cao army, and even the preparation of the second wave of arrows did not leave the Cao army.

Of course, the defense camp of the Cao army could not just rely on bows and crossbows, countless iron shields and spears were already ready to go, and suddenly there was a blood red in the field, whether it was Yuan Cao's soldiers, their blood began to intersect with the frontal intersection of the soldiers and horses of the two sides, spreading on this crisp land,

Blood splattered on the grass with the sound of knives entering the body, refining the grassland into a huge slaughterhouse, as if it was a purgatory on earth.

The small sacrifice of the cavalry made the Cao army no longer absolutely effective against the crossbowmen charged by the Yuan army, and at this time, Zhang He began to order the infantry and spearmen to charge forward.

"The infantry of the three armies, entering the formation in a conical shape, with two wings in the shape of a goose, attacking the enemy's middle formation! Charge! ”

"The shield soldiers cover the crossbowmen, scatter and attack the left and right sides, and within less than a hundred steps, they are not allowed to shoot arrows!"

After the issuance of military orders, the military academies of the Yuan army, under the command of Zhang He, began to launch a sustained and effective offensive against the Cao army, and began to crush and slaughter the Cao army with absolute combat power.

On the Cao army's side, although Zhang Liao's ability to command soldiers and horses to fight was not under Zhang He, the gap in combat strength was not something he could make up for personally, and the gap between the short soldiers was not obvious, but with the expansion of the battle situation and the full investment of the military academies of the two sides, the gap between Yuan and Cao began to show little by little

Exposed.

The more Cao Jun fought, the more obvious the decline became, and the more Yuan Jun fought, the clearer the advantage became.

"Run! Coach Cao Jun ran away! ”

I don't know who shouted by Yuan Shang's side, attracting Yuan Shang's attention to the enemy's central army.

Yuan Shang squinted, but saw that the big banner printed with the word 'Guo' began to retreat, and faintly, Yuan Shang saw that the chariot that Guo Jia was riding also began to move towards the rear.

As soon as the commander moved, the three armies naturally collapsed, the Chinese army of the Cao army, the entire formation was chaotic due to Guo Jia's retreat, and the generals of the Cao army no longer fought bloody battles with the Yuan army

It was an abrupt retreat.

Seeing this, Yuan Shang couldn't help frowning: "Ran away?" ”

was pondering, but saw Lu Lingqi pat his horse forward, came to Yuan Shang's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "What kind of god, the commander of the Cao army fled, the enemy formation collapsed, if you don't take the opportunity to attack at this time, when will you wait?" Looking at this momentum, it is still unknown to take Pengcheng in one fell swoop! ”

"The question is......" Yuan Shang frowned and said, "Although the Cao army is in decline, it has not yet reached the point of complete defeat, why did Guo Jia suddenly run away?" He didn't know that the commander of the road was the courage of the three armies, and he couldn't be withdrawn lightly until the last moment? ”

Lu Lingqi shook her head indignantly and said, "You think too much!" No matter how resourceful Guo Jia is, he is also a literati, he can make suggestions, he is okay to be the mastermind, he is the commander of one party, he is still a little tender, but I am afraid that he is not as good as you......"

Yuan Shang glanced at Lu Lingqi dissatisfied: "Did you say that about your husband?" ”

"Oh, anyway, hurry up and march, if you don't march, the opportunity will be missed, you and Zhang He are here to press the formation! I went to the front line to command all the troops, attacked with all my might, took advantage of the situation to pursue, killed Zhang Liao, and captured Pengcheng!"

Anyway, regardless of Yuan Shang's orders, Lu Lingqi led the pro-army, like a tiger out of the cage, and pressed towards the Cao army frantically.

Seeing that his own offensive was getting worse and the enemy retreated into the ebb tide, like a flood catharsis, Yuan Shang's heart was filled with deep doubts.

Guo Jia, this guy shouldn't be thinking about it again, right?

*********************

It is true that as Lu Lingqi expected, Yuan Jun and Cao Jun had a big battle outside Pengcheng, Guo Jia, as the main general, did not take the pressure as his own responsibility and retreated, Yuan Jun took advantage of the situation to attack and kill, the momentum was like a bamboo, and the victory over Cao Jun was not counted, and he also captured Pengcheng, the seat of Xuzhou in one fell swoop, Cao Jun was defeated for thousands of miles, and in the face of Yuan's pursuit there was no power to fight back, and he retreated straight to Xiapi City to be the head, poor Guo Jiaxiong came to Xuzhou with high spirits, and Yuan Shang suffered such a big defeat in the first battle against him, and he gave up Xuzhou at once. It really shocked everyone in the world, and Yuan Shang's prestige was the icing on the cake, rising like the sun.

The battle situation in Xuzhou was transmitted to Yangzhou at the first time.

At the mouth of the river crossing in Xu Yangbiansai, Sun Quan had already gathered troops and horses, waited for the day, and sent people to constantly inquire about the battle situation in Xuzhou, and the news of the battle of Pengcheng reached his handsome camp at the first time.

After Sun Quan knew the way, he didn't say a word, and immediately found his confidant Zhou Yu to discuss.

"Gong Jin, in your opinion, Guo Jia was defeated in Xuzhou, and Yuan Shang seized Pengcheng, his governing place, what do you think?"

Zhou Yu closed his eyes and thought carefully for a while, before he slowly spoke: "Wu Hou, although I had long expected that Yuan Shang would win and Guo Jia would lose, I really didn't expect Guo Jia to lose so quickly!" Yuan Shang seized the Xuzhou Governance Office, opposite Guo Jia in Xiapi, at this time, logically speaking, it is indeed time for us to send troops. ”

Sun Quan nodded when he heard this, and said: "I also have this intention, Gong Jin, the duel between the two great heroes in the north is enough to change the fortunes of the world, for me Dongwu, if I don't take the opportunity to get some benefits, it will be really bad for the future war committee!" I intend that we will quickly send troops to Xuzhou, and before Yuan Shang has completely defeated Guo Jia, he will first take Guangling, Danyang and other places to use them as a pedal in the Central Plains, which will be beneficial to the future, what do you think? ”

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "Wu Hou, it's still the same sentence, in fact, I still don't agree with the march to the north. ”

“…………”

Sun Quan frowned when he heard this.

Zhou Yu ignored it, and said bluntly: "Wu Hou, in my opinion, it is imperative to take Jingzhou, all according to the Yangtze River, is the way to win in my Eastern Wu, Jingzhou is rich and strong, with a large population, compared to the land of Xuzhou, I don't know how much stronger, abandoning Jingzhou and taking Xuzhou will not do me any benefit to Dongwu!"
