Chapter 421: Retreat and return to Xiping
"Haha." Zhang Yan grinned, "There is Liu Qi Gongzi who attracts the attention of Cao Jun and Cai Mao, let's sneak into the village, don't shoot." ”
Several people jumped off their horses, opened the map on the side of the road, and deduced on the ground.
Liu Wei has emphasized the importance of sand table deduction from the beginning of teaching, and the students have become accustomed to this mode of operation, although the staff system has not been officially introduced, these students are now playing such a role.
From a staff officer to a general in charge of the whole army, this experience can make them more calm and grow much faster.
Zhen Yao pointed to Xiping and said: "As long as we take Xiping, we can gain the initiative, Cao Agui thought that he took Dongjun and lured Cai Mao, and he was the biggest winner......"
"Laughing too early!" Gao Hao punched the ground, "Let's take Xiping and see if there is a smile on his face." ”
"The principal will definitely reward us"
"Maybe I'll get promoted."
Before this group of young generals captured Xiping City, they had already begun to think about a bright future.
……
Yuzhou, Xiping City.
The location of Xiping City is very important, more than 20 miles south of Kunyang City, and it is a bridge connecting Chenliu and Shangcai.
Originally, there were two bridges, and one of them had been broken after the loss of Kunyang, so Xiping became a single-plank bridge, and Cao Cao and Xi Zhong did not dare to slack off, and sent the most powerful henchman Cao Hong to guard it.
Although Cao Hong was brave, he had a violent personality, and Cao Cao was not at ease, so he transferred Le Jin to serve as Cao Hong's deputy general to jointly guard Xiping.
On this day, I saw that there were soldiers and horses coming to besiege the city, and I saw that there were not many soldiers and horses on the other side, only more than 3,000 people, Cao Hong was furious, and he wanted to lead the army to fight.
……
"It's not fun right now." After challenging for a long time in front of the pass, seeing that Cao Jun did not fight, Zhang Qiang looked depressed and collected his troops and returned to the camp, saw Sun Ce and Zhao Yun, spread his hands, and looked helpless.
Sun Ce was also so anxious that he rubbed his hands, "We mean a surprise attack on Xiping, and now that the Cao army is not fighting, is it possible to return to Xincai like this?" ”
For a while, everyone didn't have a good idea, and they began to think hard about how to break the enemy, Zhao Yun was the first time to face off in front of the battle, and carefully went through the art of war he had read in his heart, and he already had an idea.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the clouds have a plan, and the princes can see if it is feasible."
Everyone knew that Zhao Yun was superior in force, and after listening to his strategy, they all praised it, and immediately acted according to the plan.
……
Cao Hong received Cao Cao's strict order, if there are soldiers and horses to attack Xiping, not to fight, if Xiping is lost, will be severely punished by military law, so he held his temperament and only patrolled the city every day.
Watching Zhang Qiang challenge under the city, Cao Hong squeaked the big knife, Le Jin knew Cao Hong's temper, and followed him step by step, always persuading.
"Wen Qian, look at it, how many soldiers and horses they have, we will be able to cut off a lot of heads with one charge, so that the siege is self-extricating, why bother to be turtle-like here?
There are not many people in Xiping City than outside the city, and Le Jin had to persuade him, "This is the enemy's suspicious strategy, but I am afraid that there are still elites ambushed in the distance." ”
"It's a flat river here, how can there be ambushes?" Although Cao Hong has a short temper, he is also battle-hardened, and when he heard Le Jin, he couldn't help but get angry, "Wen Qian, are you deceiving me and not knowing the art of war?" ”
Le Jin had no choice but to remain silent, and repeatedly took out Cao Cao's edict, just not to let Cao Hong go out of the city.
"General, the water in Xiping City is not very good, the people are going to the Baishui River in the rear to use water, and now they can't go out of the city, it's been a long time, I'm afraid the people's hearts are unstable!" A local general whispered.
"Oh." Cao Hong and Le Jin glanced at each other after hearing this, and their hearts were a little heavy. ”
……
That night, Cao and Li were discussing the military tent, but they heard the Malay report that the enemy army was withdrawing to the south, and the two were overjoyed when they heard this, and rushed to the city, and saw that the enemy army was lined up in a neat queue and was steadily retreating.
"Zilian, don't go out of the city to pursue, the opponent's formation is not chaotic." Le Jin bitterly persuaded Cao Hong.
"According to you, according to you, all according to you, Hong should be blind, right?" Cao Hong flicked his sleeves and went to sleep in the city.
Le Jin summoned a few scouts, "You wait for the enemy army to retreat, and immediately go out of the city to investigate, find out the enemy's movements, and there must be no mistake." ”
……
Knowing that the enemy army really retreated, Le Jin was also relieved, so that the four doors were opened, allowing the people to go out of the city to collect firewood and water, and the city was full of laughter for a while.
Unexpectedly, only a day later, several places visited the Malay report, saying that the enemy army had gone and returned, so angry that Cao Hong stomped his feet, and Le Jin hurriedly let the soldiers and civilians enter the city and closed the four doors again.
Looking at the enemy troops lying on the ground and cursing outside the city, Cao Hong couldn't bear it, and when Lejin was inspecting the other three city defenses, he opened the south gate and came out with a thousand men and horses.
When Zhang Madness saw Cao Hong killing, he was ecstatic in his heart, and fled south with the defeated soldiers.
Le Jin was shocked after hearing the report, only afraid that Cao Hong would lose, hurriedly lit a thousand men and horses out of the city to chase Cao Hong, the general who defended the city was about to close the city gate, but listened to the sound of drums in the city, and before he could react, he saw a group of people in the city who looked like people holding steel knives to grab the city gate, and a cannon sounded on the left outside the city, and a team of people galloped in.
The general was frightened, and came to fight with a gun, where was the opponent of several young generals such as Sun Ben at the gate of the city, and was swept off the horse by the high spear, Sui Yu rushed forward, grabbed the long hair, and cut the head in his hand with a knife.
"The gates of the city have been broken, and those who descend will not be killed."
After Sun Ben led the army to seize the city gate, there was no master general in the city, and there was a great chaos, Zhen Yao ordered Cao Bing to put down his weapons, and immediately began to clean up the mess.
Cao Hong rushed to kill for a while, the anger in his heart gradually subsided, and when he heard Le Jin's shout, he restrained the war horse.
"Wen Qian, it's just a rabble, what's there to be afraid of, if they come again, they will be killed."
Le Jin grabbed Cao Hong's horse reins, "Zilian, go back, it's already far away from the city." ”
Cao Hong was about to express his pride, but he saw smoke and dust rising in front of him, and the sound of horses stepping on the earth also came from his ears.
"Zilian, let's go!"
Cao Hong held the big knife and was about to move forward, but was stopped by Le Jin, "Cao Gong's order, Ziqian has forgotten, Xiping City can't be lost!" ”
A good old man like Lejin started a fire, so much so that Cao Hong was startled, and he was unwilling to run to Xiping City with Lejin.
The two generals saw that the city gate was closed from a distance, and Le Jin's face couldn't help but change greatly, "Zilian, we have won the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" ”
Cao Hong refused to believe it, and rushed to the wall to call the door, but saw Zhen Yao laughing on the wall.
"Cao Zilian, aren't you very good at fighting? Do you want to fight too? Then take your broadsword and go to fight the silver-armored general, as long as you defeat him, the city will be handed over. ”
