Text Chapter 662 The Battle of Mi County Begins
Obviously, Yang Xiu said that Cao Cao was in his heart, he really wanted to win Zhang Chao's game, even if he won it, it would be too late to withdraw in his opinion.
Cao Cao said this, Xun You was not good at what he was talking about, so he had to agree to a promise and retreat to the side.
Seeing that no one objected, Cao Cao immediately said: "Pass the order, enter the division, besiege the army of the Celestial Empire, and strive for a quick victory." ”
Cao Cao is ready to encircle and fight, why shouldn't Zhang Chao make the decision to fight back?
In other words, I have been on the run for so long, for the sake of the current counterattack.
Bu Qi and 20,000 Zhangjia light cavalry suddenly circled to the vicinity of the Donghai Kingdom in Xuzhou, wasn't it just to make Cao Cao think he had found an opportunity and take the initiative to attack? Knowing that the Wei army was an elite division and that it was difficult to defeat, he thought of such a method.
Now it seems that Cao Cao really fell for the trick. Speaking of which, if you were yourself, I am afraid that you will seize such an opportunity to turn defeat into victory.
Zhang Chao is strong, Cao Cao is much weaker, and in such a situation, the latter does not have much consideration and choice opportunities at all. The battle may also be won, but if you don't fight, you will definitely lose, but it is often a matter of time, which is why Cao Cao knew that there was a certain risk, but he would still raise an army to come.
"It's time, notify the first, sixth, and seventh legions to implement the previous plan, and the flying eagle to pass the book to the waterway legion, they can do it." At this moment, Zhang Chao is completely in a picture of victory, in fact, he does have such confidence.
Zhang Chao gave an order, and someone below naturally went to give the order, and then he came to the top of Jiluo Mountain where he was with Li Ru, and looked at the faintly visible Dafeng Mountain in the distance and said: "Presumably the Seventh Army should have been prepared there, and then it will be up to see how to destroy the main force of the Wei army, and our army will move to the land of Yuzhou." ”
Li Ru looked sideways at Zhang Chao at this moment, for some reason, in his eyes, the emperor seemed to be exuding a golden light all over his body, as if he was like a god descending from the earth, entering the world with a golden light.
After Xinzheng, that is, Mi County, at this moment Xiahoudun is rushing to this place with an army of 300,000, along the way to trace the mark of the horseshoe of the Celestial Empire army to here, when he saw the city tower from afar, his eyes showed a light of excitement. He expected that this should be the Celestial Empire's army really couldn't run, so he had to stop, but did the other party really think that he could block the offensive of his army by choosing a small county town?
"Pass the order, quickly go to the siege ladder, and then attack the city with all your might, killing the enemy without leaving a single piece of armor." Xiahoudun said very righteously.
After chasing for so long, Xiahoudun thought that the soldiers of the Celestial Empire had lost their morale, and in the face of such an army, he still had a good chance of winning under the tough encounter, and as long as he captured Mixian, then the army of the Celestial Empire would have no reliance on it, wouldn't it be as if he wanted to do whatever he wanted at that time?
Thinking that without further ado, the Celestial Empire army could not be given more time to prepare, and the entire 300,000 Wei army began to cut wood nearby to make siege ladders.
It's just that what Xiahoudun didn't know was that everything they did was clearly seen by the Seventh Army in Dafeng Mountain. It's just that because they haven't received military orders yet, they haven't taken advantage of the situation.
How did Xiahoudun know this, under the order, the 300,000 troops worked together, and soon the 2,000 cloud ladders were successfully made. For a small Mi county, having these numbers is enough to get a city.
Although it was said that the action was fast, it still took two days, and at this moment, Cao Cao with 500,000 main forces was only twenty miles away.
Hearing that Wang Shangji had come behind him, Xiahoudun knew that if he didn't attack, he was afraid that the great achievement would not belong to him, and immediately he didn't care whether the soldiers were tired or not, so he issued an order for the whole army to attack the city. Under this order, the Wei army, which numbered of 30,000 people with shields in hand, lined up six formations and headed in front of Mixian.
It's just a small county town, and it has sent so many troops, it can be seen that Xiahoudun wants to win in one battle. The leader was General Lu Qian, and when he saw that there were 30,000 soldiers available for him to attack the city, he was also full of confidence, and began to approach the gate of Mixian City with a shout.
Two thousand meters... A thousand meters... Eight hundred meters...
When he reached this distance, the city gate of Mi County was suddenly opened from the inside, and this scene made Lu Qian, who was leading the army forward, look puzzled, he couldn't understand, what were the soldiers of the Celestial Empire going to do? Do you still want to come to a counter-shock? It's just that their current strength is not sufficient?
Before Lu Qian could think too much, countless cavalry poured out of the city gate of Mixian County, and the person who led it was Dian Wei, the commander of the Sixth Legion, who was holding a pair of iron halberds.
Along the way, he was chased here from outside Xuchang City, Dian Wei was already angry, he couldn't figure it out, obviously the Seventh Legion did not leave, but was hidden in the Sixth Legion and the First Legion, so there was no disadvantage in the troops, but why did the king have to withdraw again and again?
It's just that although he was puzzled, fortunately, Dian Wei knew to obey the order, and now he had received the order from Zhang Chao to counterattack on all fronts, and he was suddenly overjoyed. For these 300,000 Wei soldiers who have been following his buttocks, he has long been unhappy, and now that he has the opportunity to countercharge, where will he have the slightest hesitation?
"Kill!" Dian Wei, who rushed out of the city gate, saw that the enemy was eight hundred meters away, which was simply a place that the cavalry could reach with a charge, where would he have a little politeness at this moment, and after shouting, he took the lead in riding a horse and rushed over.
Dian Wei took the lead, followed by the deputy corps commander Yan Liang and the horse. These two people were obviously chased out of anger, and now that they have the opportunity, of course, they want to be ashamed.
With three corps commanders leading the team, the cavalry behind him was naturally highly motivated. They had already entered the city first, and had a good rest in the city for two days, and now it was the time to be full of energy, and it was the time to participate in the great battle, and it was the time to make good contributions.
Suddenly, countless cavalry rushed out from the opposite side, this scene made Lu Qian's face begin to change greatly, and he could finally confirm that the other party was indeed about to counterattack. Although he didn't know what kind of support the other party had, the reality was exactly that. It doesn't matter whether these Celestial Dynasty cavalry who rushed out next will be General Xiahou's opponent, but at the moment, the 30,000 Pu Dao soldiers with shields in their hands are obviously about to be the first to be impacted.
"Withdraw, withdraw!" Knowing that Pu Daobing had no advantage in the face of cavalry, Lu Qian quickly gave the order to withdraw at this moment, and at the same time, he fled back first.
Before the two armies fought, the main general was the first to be cowardly, and the impact on the situation on the entire battlefield was self-evident. The 30,000 Wei troops, who had already felt frightened because of the arrival of the Celestial Empire army, now saw that even the main generals had fled, and one by one they were still in the spirit of war, and they suddenly began to retreat frantically.
Xiahoudun in the Chinese army just waited for Lu Qian to lead his troops to break through the gate of Mixian County, and then he came with a large army to cover the killing, but who would have thought that things would change so much, and he was shocked for a while, "Hurry up, where are the archers, ready to release arrows." ”
"General, we still have so many soldiers in front? If you release the arrow, I am afraid that you will be injured by mistake. General Guo Huai stepped forward and reminded Xiahoudun.
"This..."Xiahoudun couldn't help but hesitate, and it was at this opportunity that Dian Wei had already led the six legions to rush in, first rushing into the camp of the Wei army's Pu Dao soldiers, and with the swing of a big knife and spear, one after another Wei soldiers were cut down and stabbed to the ground. Of course, more were directly crushed by the cavalry power of the Celestial Empire, and many people were washed to the ground by healthy horses, and then thousands of hooves turned over, with heavy casualties.
Xiahoudun's hesitation, Dian Wei also accelerated the shortening of the distance between the two armies, and soon came to the front of the Wei army.
It was only at this time that Xiahoudun knew that it was too late to let the archers release their arrows, so he immediately greeted him with a drill-hearted spear, and shouted while catching up with him, "Chong, as long as we can entangle them, it won't be long before the king will bring the main force here, and the victory will still belong to us at that time." ”
What Xiahoudun said was good, these words also greatly stabilized the morale of the army, at least many Wei troops who originally felt fear began to settle down, and saw that their generals had already rushed up, one by one they shouted and rushed forward.
Xiahoudun led the army to rush, Dian Wei was castrated, and soon, the two armies collided together, and then the battlefield was a chaotic image. The sound of shouting and killing, fighting, and the sound of weapons striking was endless.
When it comes to troops, there is no difference between the two sides.
Xiahoudun brought 300,000 Wei army vanguards; Dian Wei brought 300,000 soldiers of the Sixth Army Corps.
There is no difference in numbers, and the competition is the combat effectiveness and the will of the soldiers.
When it comes to combat effectiveness or personal will, the Celestial Empire army has a lot of advantages. Not to mention that the Sixth Army Corps was originally an elite division, just to say that they rested for two days before the war, and their spirit and energy were far from being comparable to the Wei army.
In addition, Dian Wei charged with cavalry, caught the opponent off guard, and took the lead, and this fight naturally became more and more obvious.
Xiahoudun also rushed to the front of the battle, and tried to play his role, one after another Celestial Empire soldiers were stabbed off their horses by his drilled heart gun, but after all, the strength of one person was limited, he only killed more than ten people himself, and then Dian Wei rushed in front of him and blocked his spear.
"Xiahoudun, the previous battle was not decided, and now we have fought one, this time, I will definitely cut you down." After stopping Xiahoudun, Dian Wei immediately shouted, and even stopped the kindness of others who wanted to be helpers.
