For the order to clear the stragglers, the Youzhou cavalry executed very resolutely, and the action was also very fast. At the same time as the two camps in the west, a large number of Youzhou cavalry troops took the battalion as a unit, carried out a dragnet search and arrest in various places outside the city, the progress at the beginning was also extremely smooth, no side, because of the Cao army's implementation of the strong wall and clearing the wilderness, there were almost no people outside the city, and those routs had few hiding places, as long as the Youzhou cavalry appeared, there was no place to escape, and it was just defeated, there was no resistance at all, and it was often surrounded by the Youzhou cavalry, and then obediently became a prisoner of war, but unfortunately this smooth was only the first day, with the arrival of the night, a large number of stragglers either fled to Niushan, or returned to Linzi City at nightThe Youzhou cavalry swept down for three days in a row, and the Communist Party only captured more than 8,000 prisoners of war, most of whom were captured on the first day.

After repeated defeats, the main force of the Cao army has been lost nearly half, and the combat effectiveness and even the will to fight have been consumed by most of it, even so, the Cao army still occupies two important places in Linzi City and Niushan, if the Cao army is given enough time, there is still the possibility of recovery, and the Youzhou army is not easy to supply because of the long transportation line, if the war is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that in the end I will have to be forced to withdraw the army, in this way, the buffer zone plan drawn up by Gongsun Ming is bound to suffer a heavy setback, in order to avoid this misfortune, after repeated discussions with Xu Shu, Gongsun Ming decided to move the troops to Niushan first, first pull out the nail and then try to plot Linzi City。

Niu Mountain, from the point of view of its mountain itself, is very ordinary, less than two hundred meters high, although the grass and trees are luxuriant, but far from being steep and precipitous, but the fame is not small, without him, Guan Zhong, Qi Henggong, Qi Jinggong and a large number of emperors in the Spring and Autumn Period were buried on this mountain, of course, the reason why Cao Jun chose this mountain as the garrison of the army outside the city is not because of the many tombs in this mountain, but because the mountain is the commanding heights within a dozen miles around Linzi City, there is a condescending trend, which is convenient for all parties, but it is a pity that this advantage is due to Xiahou Shang's blind movement, which led to the destruction of the main force and lost a fine light, and the current Niushan Dazhai together with the rout soldiers who fled back is only more than 9,000 troops, barely able to defend itself, but has no active combat power。

"Does Yuan Zhi have any clever plans for the battle of taking the mountain?"

Even if Gongsun Ming had already explored the terrain of Niushan for several days in a row, and already had a general strategy for attacking the mountain, he did not act rashly, but made a final consultation with Xu Shu on the strategy of taking the mountain in the big tent of the Chinese army.

"The lord must have made up his mind in his heart, why don't you and I write a word in the palm of our palms to see if it is consistent?"

Xu Shu did not give an answer directly, but reached out and stroked the long beard on his chest, and proposed with a smile.

"Okay, since Yuanzhi has this Yaxing, how can there be a reason not to follow, come to someone, take a pen and inkstone. ”

As soon as he heard the words of Xu Shu and other celebrities, Gongsun Ming couldn't help but be embarrassed, and he didn't forget his meaning, smiled and waved his hand, and several of his relatives agreed to the promise and presented the pen and inkstone diligently.

"My lord, please see. ”

"Let's just open it together. ”

......

Gongsun Ming and Xu Shu both picked up the pen and wrote a word in cursive in the palm of their hands, and then they clenched their fists and got together, almost at the same time the font of the palm of the palm was revealed, and the word "fire" was also written......

"Woo, woo, woo......"

On August 25, when the sun had just risen, a tight trumpet suddenly sounded in the camp of the Youzhou army, and then I saw that the two gates opened violently, and a large number of armor soldiers pushed 34 large trebuchets and nearly 40 crossbow carts out of the camp, and went straight to Niushan.

"Report, General, the thief army has come out of the camp in a big way!"

The momentum of the Youzhou army's dispatch was so great that it was impossible for the sentries in the Niushan military village not to be alarmed, and the horn of the emergency sounded violently, and one of the military marquis on duty rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army and reported the change of the enemy situation to General Zhang Xi, who was temporarily in charge of the Niushan camp.

"Quick, order all the departments to assemble urgently and prepare for war!"

Zhang Xi, a native of Nanyang, as early as Cao Cao in Beijing when he served as a military captain, was a henchman under Cao Cao, after Cao Cao raised troops in Chen, Zhang Xi abandoned the official thousands of miles to throw him, has been quite popular with Cao Cao, but because of the mediocre martial arts, although he was promoted to the general early, but then has not been able to be promoted, his people have always been conservative with soldiers, since the defeat and death of Xiahou Shangbing, he immediately took charge of the military power of Niushan, because of the fear of the strength of the Youzhou army, although he collected many defeated soldiers, he did not dare to go down the mountain to attack the Youzhou army, but did his best to consolidate the Niushan village, for several days, the Niushan camp was built as solid as gold, at least in his own opinion, so when he heard that the Youzhou army was coming to attack the mountain, he never had the slightest panic, and when he gave the order, his tone even showed a little eagerness to try.

Although there are big guys such as trebuchets and ballistas in the army, the formation of the Youzhou army is not slow, it is only four quarters, and the 20,000 infantry army has already set up an attack formation below the foot of Niu Mountain, and there are 10,000 cavalry troops divided into left and right wings, and they are patrolling around Niu Mountain.

"Report, my lord, my ministry is ready, please make it clear. ”

After the preparation of the army was completed, Zhang He, who was in charge of the battle of attacking the mountain, did not dare to delay in the slightest, and personally rushed to the Chinese army on horseback, and reported with great dignity.

"Then let's get started. ”

The deployment had already been deployed before the war, and at this time, Gongsun Ming would not waste his lips and tongue on any pre-war mobilization, so he just waved his hand casually and issued the order to attack the mountain.

"The last general obeys!"

Attacking the mountain was originally a chore, but under a careful deployment, the drudgery has long been not bitter, but very sweet, for this almost free credit, how can Zhang He not laugh, Lang agreed, and rushed back to the front, and since there are no many words, just a wave of his hand, he has announced the beginning of the battle of attacking the mountain.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

With Zhang He's order, thirty-four trebuchets began to roar almost at the same time, and in an instant, sixty-eight large black leather water bladders were ejected, roaring towards the Cao Jun village halfway up the mountain, and as soon as they hit the ground or smashed on the wall, they all shattered, and a large stream of liquid immediately splashed out......
