Chapter 604

Cao Xiu was silent, for the way of being a general, he must give up, don't hesitate.

The cavalry is for field battles, and an offensive and defensive battle with the second school lieutenant is courting death.

So keep silent.

Cao Chun is also similar, he is no longer a teenager, but grew up with Cao Cao all the way from the crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Now 24 years old, he is a young leader with his own opinions and ideas.
Hearing Chen Deng's words, he thought for a while and said, "Okay, as Mr. Yuanlong said, we will go to fight Langya County, and we will turn Xuzhou upside down."

Three thousand tigers and leopards, led by the three young generals of the Cao family, rolled towards the southeast.
After crossing the many trails of Beimeng Mountain, he did not go south to Raofei Kingdom, but directly entered Langya County.

I thought Dongguan City would be defenseless, but this time they were blocked.

The city of Dongguan across the river was tightly guarded, and all the boats at the river ferry were taken away.

Unable to cross the river and the east bank, Chen Deng and Cao Chun had no choice but to go down the river to fight Dong'an City.

However, it has also been notified and reminded that although there are no designated troops in the city to take over the defense, the county lieutenants and magistrates guarding the city are sticking to martial law.

Chen Deng and others swiped and feigned an attack, and found that the resistance was fierce, so they led their troops south again.

"Mr. Yuanlong, Andong City is still vigilant. It seems that Yangdu is afraid that it will not be easy to fight. Should we change our strategy, or we will have to go back to Taishan County when we get to Kaiyang?" Cao Xiu suggested:

"Why don't we cross the river to the east bank and wait for an opportunity to attack other cities, or if we suddenly go north, Dongguan and other cities will think that we are going south, so we must relax our vigilance, and there may be no opportunity for war."

Chen Deng thought for a while and said: "What Wen Lie said is indeed a method, but I have an idea to divide the troops. You think we have a team carrying a big banner, blatantly, and going south to attack Kaiyang with great fanfare. How will the city react?"

"Wonderful! Mr. Yuanlong's plan is very clever. Use one to disguise as the main force to attract the attention of the Xuzhou army, paralyze the cities and counties in the north, wait for them to relax and wait for the opportunity to make a move, and they will succeed in one fell swoop." Cao Zhen clapped his hands and exclaimed. .

Cao Zhen's real name is Qin Zhen, and his style name is Zidan. He is the adopted son of Cao Cao.

He is also a wise and brave general, and asked for orders directly: "Give me the [-] soldiers of Zihe, and I will attract the attention of the Xuzhou army. You wait for the opportunity to take a break, it is best to wait until the Qingzhou army goes south to attack, and killing the Qingzhou army is a great achievement." one piece."

Cao Chun glanced at Cao Xiu and Chen Deng, seeing that they had no objection, he patted Cao Zhen on the shoulder and said, "Be careful, don't force yourself!"

"Here!" Cao Zhen took the order.

Then Cao Zhen led eight hundred tiger and leopard riders, and headed south with the banner of the main force of tiger and leopard riders.

When they attacked Kaiyang, Xiao Jian, the terrified minister of Langya, closed the city gates and stationed troops in the city, not daring to go outside, so he didn't know the real situation of Cao Zhen at all.

While guarding the city, Xiao Jian sent someone to report to Tao Qian, asking for support.

Not to mention Cao Zhen going south, Chen Deng, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu and others led the army to cross the river quietly, and then disappeared the flags and trails, and sent a small number of scouts to investigate the cities.

None were harvested.

Whether it is Dongguan City or Yingxian County, they stick to the closed city and have no intention of relaxing, and have not found a fighter opportunity.

Just when they were planning to give up attacking the north and go south to fight Tan County, news came that Beihai would send troops.

The news that Xi Zhicai led an army of [-] to the south made them hesitate a little bit in their pace of going south.

"Mr. Yuanlong, do you want to fight? Although this Qingzhou army has a large number of people, it is not a regular field army. It is not at the same level as the numbered school lieutenant army." Cao Chun asked.

Cao Chun really wanted to make a move. Although there were only 2000 cavalry on his side, the opponent was a miscellaneous army, including county soldiers and militiamen.

A large group of black and white, seemingly huge in number, is vulnerable to the cavalry. As long as they disperse, they will stampede and slash unscrupulously.

This is a great opportunity to become famous.

Two thousand beats thirty thousand, and he must eat up his ten to twenty thousand battle damage.

"Mr. Yuanlong, I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, you will lose it. Let's take advantage of their carelessness. Just beheading or capturing Xi Zhicai is a great loss to Marquis Weihai." Cao Xiu also felt that There is no risk.

The big vote must be done.

In case we can't beat us, cavalry can run, so there is no hesitation.

Chen Deng thought for a while and finally made up his mind: "Okay, just like what you said, the army led by Xi Zhicai is all mixed troops gathered from various places. If they are taken out to fight alone, they still have a strong position." Strength, but put together, it is difficult to unify the command, especially when facing a sudden attack, it is really impossible to miss this opportunity."

Xi Zhicai has never led an army or fought a war, and has always been in charge of logistics and government affairs under Xu Ding.

So Chen Deng didn't pay attention to it.

And just like what Cao Xiu said, if Xi Zhicai could be taken down, it would be to cut off Xu Ding's arm and make him pay a big price.

It is better to cut off one finger than to hurt his ten fingers.

The opportunity is fleeting.

It's hard to wait until you run away.

…………

"Report! Report to Marshal Ma that Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry headed south to attack Kaiyang City."

Ma Teng pinched his gray beard and said to Xi Zhicai: "If Kaiyang is attacked, Tan County will be dangerous, but we have been on guard for a long time. It is estimated that it will be difficult for Cao Jun to take down Kaiyang, so unless they make up their minds to attack Tan County, otherwise we will retreat to the south of Mount Tai.

I'm leaning toward them retreating north into the southern part of Mount Tai and then fighting us. "

Xi Zhicai said: "The tiger and leopard cavalry have never stopped since they entered Langya, which shows that their strategy and tactics are quite clear, which is to use the cavalry's guerrilla advantages to find opportunities to destroy our army's vital forces and mainly destroy them. I guess they will not enter the southern part of Mount Tai, let alone fight with us.

The commander-in-chief of the opponent is a very smart person, and he will not do such a self-defeating thing. I think they will still wreak havoc in Langya County and wait for opportunities to find fighters. Leopard rides to go behind us. "

Ma Teng thought for a while and said, "I agree with seven points in your analysis of the old drama, okay, anyway, we are not in a hurry to have a decisive battle with them, take our time, sort out Langya County first, and drive them there Go to the south of Taishan County and be surrounded and strangled."

It will take time to train these tens of thousands of people, so Ma Teng still chooses to trust Xi Zhicai's judgment.

A day and a half later, the army marched southward towards the sun, and suddenly a cavalry came out from the left wing.

Black robes and armor, black battle flags fluttering in the wind.

Even the weapons are generally black, and the horses are mainly black and brown.

"Report! Tiger and leopard cavalry are found ahead, less than two miles away from me!"

Needless to say, Xi Zhicai, Ma Teng and others saw the iron cavalry rolling in from the flanks.

It was really a bit of a surprise, I didn't expect the tiger and leopard riders to hide in the hinterland of Langya County, and they had crossed Yishui long ago.

He even changed the target of the sneak attack to himself.

It's quite bold.

But Xi Zhicai and Ma Teng also showed joy at the same time.

The tiger and leopard rider came to the door by themselves, which left them a lot of work to find.

"General Ma, come and form the formation. I will hold the formation for you to stabilize the army at the back. The generals will be dispatched by you now, but those who disobey will follow the law!" Xi Zhicai clasped his fists at Ma Teng, his expression and gaze There is trust and solemnity in it.

Ma Teng also clasped his fists and said, "Okay, leave the old play to me, and you Qingzhou Army will not be disappointed."
