Chapter 535: Ambush

Li Xing followed the strategy of elite soldiers, so even with the wealth of Qingxu Erzhou, which had been governed by Li Xing, he only raised an army of 300,000, and relying on the dilapidated Gunzhou and Yuzhou, which was once ravaged by yellow turban thieves, Cao Cao had 300,000 troops, and Yuan Shao relied on Jizhou, a rich state, plus a barren state with an army of 500,000, if they followed their conscription method, Li Xing's army would have more than tripled.

What makes Cao Cao envious the most is that now Li Xing's 200,000 army is still 30,000 cavalry, you must know that the mainland is not as good as Guansai, good horses are rare, the cost of raising a cavalry can raise five infantry, Cao Cao He also spent more than half of the property obtained from the pursuit of the Xiliang army at that time, only to get 10,000 cavalry, but Li Xing raised a total of 50,000 fine cavalry, and standing on the wall of Dongjun, looking at the bright armor of Li Xing's cavalry, his tiger and leopard riding seemed to have become a beggar, so that Cao Cao couldn't help but comfort himself, Li Xing's cavalry may just be a spectacle.

Although Dongjun is a county city, it can't accommodate Cao Cao's 300,000 troops, not to mention that in the war, it is the best policy to concentrate all the troops in the city, so Cao Cao let his clan Cao Ren lead 50,000 troops to defend Dongjun, and Cao Cao's army set up a large camp outside the city to support each other with Dongjun.

Li Xing only has 200,000 people in his hands, and the number is not as good as Cao Cao, so naturally he can't play the siege, and can only confront Cao Cao and Chen Bing.

There are more generals under Cao Cao, and Li Xing's soldiers are elite, and the military formation training is more rigorous, with the blessing of the formation, the army often wins, and the general fighting generals, Li Xing's army began to suffer, and Hua Xiong and Tai Shi Ci recruited when he swallowed Donglai are considered first-class peerless generals, and most of the others can only be regarded as second-rate, compared with the other party's Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Chun, Yu Ban, Le Jin, Li Dian, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, etc., the lineup is much different. Li Xing instead lost several trained generals under Cao Cao's army.

Today, Li Xing is slowly absorbing the dragon qi in the jade seal of the country in his big tent, after Li Xing's research, this jade seal of the country not only brings together the beliefs of countless people for hundreds of years, but also has the dragon qi of dozens of emperors of the two Han Dynasty, these dragon qi has been washed by the power of faith, and it is more pure.

Li Xing originally had Zao Shen's dragon eye in the world of heaven and earth, absorbing thousands of 'dragons', and each 'dragon' also contained a small amount of dragon qi on its body, but although the dragon qi in each 'dragon' was small, it could cooperate with these thousands. The number of dragons, the sum is also very huge, this dragon qi is different from the general energy, absorbed by the small universe at the same time, but also let Li Xing's small universe with the characteristics of dragon energy, so Li Xing can sense the dragon qi in the hidden power of belief in the jade seal, the power of faith is not yet absorbed by Li Xing, but the dragon qi in this jade seal is an excellent thing for Li Xing, and with the absorption of these dragon qi, Li Xing's small universe is now gradually appearing a dragon's phantom.

In the more than a year since he got the jade seal of the country, for hundreds of years in the Qin and Han dynasties in the jade seal of the country, the dragon qi accumulated by dozens of kings was almost absorbed by Li Xing, Li Xing was planning to speed up the absorption during this time, and when the last of these dragon qi was absorbed, he heard the herald come to report: "My lord, Dian Wei and Le Jin of Cao Cao's army are calling for battle in front of the camp, and General Tai Shici and General Huaxiong have already gone to fight!" ”

"What!?" Li Xing was also a little surprised when he heard that Tai Shi Ci and Hua Xiong actually went out directly to meet the battle, originally he ordered not to fight with Cao Jun for the time being, because he knew that because Gunzhou and Yuzhou had experienced many turmoil, they were already very broken, and Cao Cao's army did not have enough food to feed the army, as long as it was delayed for another month or two, Cao Cao's army itself would collapse because of the lack of military food, but he didn't expect Tai Shi Ci and Hua Xiong to go directly to battle regardless of his orders.

"Tai Shi Ci and Hua Xiong shouldn't be so irrational, are they tricks?" Li Xing thought in his heart: "It seems that Cao Cao has other plans!" ”

After thinking about it for a while, Li Xing didn't figure out what Cao Cao was going to do, so he said directly: "Pass the order down, let everyone be vigilant, especially Zhang Qing, let him be careful about sneak attacks!" ”

Although I don't know Cao Cao's specific plans, I think that Cao Cao likes to cut off people's food and grass in history, Li Xing also ordered Zhang Qing, who was guarding the granary, to strengthen his vigilance, and also notified the 20,000 cavalry in the battalion to prepare to go, so that the 10,000 cavalry led by Tai Shici and Hua Xiong had a problem, and Li Xing could also rescue at any time.

"Report, General Tai Shici and General Hua Xiong encountered an ambush when they were pursuing the enemy army, and now they have suffered heavy losses!" Waiting for Li Xing's order to be conveyed, the army was ready, and it didn't take long for Li Xing to get this summons, he stood up at once, and just waved his hand to order the cavalry to attack, but suddenly stopped, and instead made another arrangement.

…… The cavalry under Tai Shi Ci and Hua Xiong were carefully trained, even if they encountered an ambush, they quickly stabilized from the chaos, and began to organize to prepare for a breakthrough, but at this time, a storm suddenly blew in the army, and it was the whirlwind of military skills made by Guo Jia, a military division under Cao Cao, who brought a strong wind to blow away the formation of two cavalrymen, and also brought hundreds of kills and injuries, and hundreds of people were swept into the sky and disappeared.

To say that this is just Guo Jia's small test, if he is well prepared, with Guo Jia alone, he can even use military skills to wipe out 30% of these 10,000 cavalry. But even so, this whirlwind completely broke up the cavalry formation, and the reason why Li Xing's army was able to look down on it was more because of the strict military formation and strong discipline, in a one-on-one battle, if compared to the veterans of the Cao army, the martial arts did not have too obvious advantages.

Seeing that the situation was about to turn defeat into victory, suddenly because of a military skill that made the situation fall back to the other party, Tai Shici said to Hua Xiong: "It seems that the other party has been prepared for a long time, this ambush is definitely deliberate, but I hate that we didn't listen to the advice of the lord, and rashly led the troops out, if the lord came to the rescue, Cao Jun said that he had to continue to set up an ambush on the way here, if it was to rescue you and me and put the lord in danger, you and I would die without redemption!"
