162 Guarding Luoyang (4)
No one thought that Liu Yu would be so bold, let Luoyang City not be defended, and directly come out to fight a field battle with the coalition army, which directly gave up his advantage.
The whole forum was discussing how Liu Yu came to fight this war, but Liu Yu slapped a bunch of so-called strategists in the face in a way that no one thought of.
In order to save their own face, these strategists analyzed that Liu Yu would be completely defeated in less than three months, and the defensive war would turn into a field war, which was simply wise.
It is true that many people can't understand Liu Yu's hand, but there are still some people who believe Liu Yu, but their voices can't be shouted.
What's even more crazy is the state army, the next morning just after the coalition army lined up, Ming Kai took his 80,000 cavalry army to roar past, and directly rushed to kill.
Cao Cao actually didn't block Ming Kai's charge, and the Xiahoudun brothers were also slightly injured in this battle, directly losing nearly 10,000 troops.
This is not a good sign for the coalition army, 10,000 troops say that it is not much, and it is not too little, but the morale of the coalition army, which has just improved a little, has been beaten to the bottom.
These 10,000 troops are Cao Cao's relatives troops, but Cao Cao is not distressed at all, and now he is not distressed by his own troops.
On the forum, there was no change of direction because of Ming Kai's victory, most people thought that this was because the morale of the coalition forces was unstable, as long as the coalition forces were given a little time, the unlucky one must be Liu Yu.
Obviously, all of this is dominated by the wind direction of the forum, because this wind direction makes most players not believe Liu Yu, and naturally not many players will choose to join Liu Yu at this time.
Attacking instead of defending, full of morale, this strategy Cao Cao and Liu Qi unanimously decided, but they had no way, whether it was Liu Qi or Cao Cao, they did not have cavalry.
Yuan Shao's 30,000 cavalry troops were also lost when the Tiger Prison was passed, and all of a sudden, this command position became a hot potato.
Ming Kai's joining made them feel that Liu Yu must have a backhand, and Liu Guanzhang and the three of them had not yet appeared after they defected to Liu Yu, and they also had a cavalry army in their hands.
"Big brother, our troops can't be placed in front of the military village, this Liu Yu has great powers, maybe he will come to attack that day."
Yuan Shu was defeated by Liu Yu's night attack, so the location of Cao Cao's military camp was very important, and if Liu Yu accidentally attacked at night again, he would be in trouble.
As soon as Cao Cao sat down, Cao Ren ran in angrily. Cao Ren did not expect that Cao Cao would arrange the most dangerous position for his troops.
"Zixiao! You are in charge of setting up camp, I can rest assured! "From the time he took over the position of commander, Cao Cao had already thought about such a situation.
If you want to be in a high position, you must have sacrifice, otherwise he will not be able to serve the public. Yuan Shao will also do things behind his back, not to mention crusading against Liu Yu at that time, even retreat will become a problem.
Cao Ren is his own brother, and Cao Cao doesn't know about other abilities, but every time he plays chess, he surrounds himself like a turtle, and Cao Cao trusts his defensive ability very much.
Yuan Shao seems to be recuperating from his injuries, but in fact, he is also secretly playing ghosts, as long as he is given a chance, he will bring Cao Cao to ruin, these moves are what Yuan Shao is best at.
This move has already shown his power for retreat, and if it is operated properly, Yuan Shao can completely put the responsibility for all this on Cao Cao's head.
Although Yuan Shao is incompetent in warfare, he has more than doubled the current Liu Yu and Cao Cao in terms of internal affairs methods, and the shamelessness of politicians is undoubtedly shown in Yuan Shao.
"Yuan Rang, get ready, we will attack at night tonight!" Cao Cao gritted his teeth and made this decision.
"Big brother, don't you inform Liu Qi?" Xiahou was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what Cao Cao was thinking, what was the difference between attacking Liu Yu at night at this time and delivering food.
"No!" Cao Cao refused without even thinking about it!
Let's not talk about where there are many people in Yiren, Liu Qi himself is not valued by Cao Cao, don't think that the military power of millions of Yiren in his hands can enter Cao Cao's eyes.
For Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Liu Qi, the king of Qingzhou, is a fart, and there has never been a state king since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, and there are even fewer county kings.
And Liu Qi himself does not have any outstanding records, he is completely relying on Liu Yu's foil, without Liu Yu, he can't walk into the sight of NPCs at all.
Cao Cao is not a great military strategist, and this time Cao Cao has a chance of more than 80% success, but he met Liu Yu.
On the third watch, Xiahoudun set off with his troops, but on the way, Xiahoudun ran into Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also received an order to attack Cao Cao at night.
The infantry also met on horseback, and the result was known without thinking, fortunately it was dark, and Xiahoudun did not lose much, leaving five thousand soldiers behind, and he retreated safely.
On the first day of the battle, Cao Cao was defeated, losing nearly 20,000 horses, but fortunately he lost his own men and horses, not Yuan Shao and others.
Liu Qi didn't have any opinion on Cao Cao's unauthorized night attack, but the councilors under him didn't do it, thinking that Cao Cao was provoking them.
These councilors bypassed Liu Qi and came directly to Cao Cao's door to make a big noise, but unfortunately, they couldn't even see Cao Cao's face.
The alliance actually had discord at this critical time, and Yiren began to declare that Cao Cao would fight Liu Yu alone, and Yuan Shao continued to pretend to be sick.
All of a sudden, Cao Cao was forced to the edge of the cliff, so that several of Cao Cao's clan brothers were restless, they never expected that things would develop into such a situation.
Cao Cao knew very well that he had to win a victory, even if it was a crushing victory, or he would not be able to gain a foothold in the coalition.
Cao Cao didn't expect Liu Yu to give him such an opportunity the next day, Liu Yu actually lined up in front of the formation, and Cao Cao, who was in a hurry, didn't care about these at all, and sent all his soldiers in one go.
Whether it was Liu Yu or Jia Yu, these strategists, they didn't expect Cao Cao to be so crazy, and tens of thousands of cavalry troops were surrounded by infantry at once.
However, the cavalry army is still the king of land warfare, and with its strong strength, it has fought a bloody way, and in the end, Ming Kai left more than 3,000 cavalry.
Liu Yu fled very embarrassed, which made the strategists on the forum breathe a sigh of relief, if Liu Yu continued to win like this, their faces would be swollen.
Cao Cao also got a victory of his own, and in the end he didn't even look at the battle damage report, because he knew very well that even if he won, their losses would be several times that of Liu Yu.
However, the coalition forces have lost their losses, but Liu Yu is not qualified to lose, and every soldier Liu Yu has lost has no way to continue to be insufficient.
The water army on the forum is still fermenting, which has brought Liu Yu a lot of psychological pressure, one person says you can't do it, you can prove it to him, and tens of millions of people say you can't do it, and the pressure naturally increases.
