Online game Three Kingdoms: Poisoning Liu Huangshu at the beginning

Chapter 334 It's a plan, a surprise attack on Xuchang! (4K)

"My lord has defeated the enemy army in Wuchao and ordered the general to retreat."

Li Xiuning led troops to attack the Guandu camp, successively broke through six camps of the coalition forces of the princes, and beheaded hundreds of thousands.

After Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Lu Bu and other generals commanded the remnant soldiers back to Guandu, these princes provided bonuses for the soldiers and horses of the Guandu camp, and it was difficult for Li Xiuning to capture the camp of the princes' coalition forces.

Lu Bu, Lu Lingqi, Ma Chao, Pang De, Hua Xiong, Zhang Xiu, Elai, Long Qie and other fierce generals charged forward and counterattacked the Jizhou Army and Youzhou Army who attacked the Guandu Camp. Butterfly, Tan Daoji, Tai Shici, Hei Chi Changzhi and other generals are not easy to resist.

Generals Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Wei Yan and others under Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Yuan Fang and other princes were so brave that ordinary people could not stop them.

"Heaven and Earth Trinity Formation!"

"Four-door pocket formation!"

"The Array of Water Mirrors!"

"Eight Gates Golden Lock Array!"

Lu Bu's military advisor Chen Gong, Jian Xuanyuan's military advisor Sima Yi, Liu Bei's military advisor Pang Tong, Cao Cao's military advisor Cheng Yu, Yuan Shao's military advisor Jushou Tianfeng, Yuan Fang's military advisor Xu Shu, Liu Biao's military advisor Kuai Liang and others hurriedly used various formations. , Bless the coalition forces of the princes and defend the Guandu camp.

"We withdraw."

Li Xiuning accepted it as soon as he saw it, and withdrew to his own camp with the captives Lu Qian, Zhang Xun, Cai Zhong and other generals of the allied forces.

The Eighteenth Route princes took the opportunity to take back the six camps that Li Xiuning had breached.

It's just that the six big camps suffered heavy losses, and the antlers were on fire, billowing black smoke, making a mess.

"This time, in order to attack Wuchao at night and burn the opponent's food and grass, we lost more than one million troops. Among them, we lost no less than 30 elite soldiers and no less than [-] good generals."

The Eighteenth Route princes counted the losses. The number of troops lost this time is really too much, and this does not include the number of players from the Three Kingdoms that cannot be counted.

Sun Jian's face was livid.

In order to cover his retreat, his retainer Zu Mao was captured alive by Qin Kai.

With Qin Kai's character, he could redeem Cai Zhong, Cai He and other third-rate generals from him, but he was unwilling to let Zu Mao be such a useful general.

"Xiahouen fell into the hands of the enemy, and the Qingzhi sword was also lost."

Cao Cao, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan and others didn't look very pretty either.

Xiahouen is a loyal military general of the Xiahou family. This time he fell into Qin Kai's hands, so Qin Kai may not be willing to return Xiahouen.

"I can only try to capture Qin Kai's generals alive and exchange them for Xiahouen. Or, defeat Qin Kai and save Xiahouen."

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan had no choice but to exchange prisoners or win the battle of Guandu.

What Cao Cao felt even more distressed was that Lu Qian, the prefect of Mount Tai, was captured by Li Xiuning.

Lu Qian had a special type of Taishan soldiers, which were comparable to Yu Jin's Qingzhou soldiers. As a result, Lu Qian was directly defeated and captured by Li Xiuning's counterattack.

As expected of Li Shimin's younger sister, Li Xiuning has a very strong chance of seizing a fighting opportunity. When she finds out that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are strong outsiders, they immediately push back.

"Wuchao's food and grass were burned. Next, we will stick to the Guandu camp. We will only defend and not attack. Within half a month, Qin Kai's army will definitely lose ground due to lack of food and grass. At that time, we will have an opportunity to counterattack."

Cao Cao swept away the previous depression.

Although a group of generals, tiger and leopard riders, and tiger guard swordsmen were lost, the strategic goal was achieved.

Yuan Shu's expression was even more distressed.

He had only a handful of generals available under his command, General Zhang Xun was captured alive by Li Xiuning, Yuan Shu had even fewer available generals, now only Li Guang and Ji Ling.

"I hope so."

Yuan Shao's military advisers, Jushou and Tian Feng, always felt that things were not that simple.

If Qin Kai was so easy to deal with, then Yuan Shao would not have lost so badly back then.

The Eighteenth Route princes regrouped at Guandu Daying, ready to confront Qin Kai, wait for Qin Kai's food and grass to run out, and then launch a counterattack with all his might.

Qin Kai had led his troops back to the camp at this time.

The food and grass he had hoarded in his camp at Guandu was enough to consume for a while.

Jizhou's grain and grass are still being transported from the rear continuously. It is undoubtedly a dream for the coalition of princes to want to exhaust his grain and grass in a short time.

"Xiu Ning, you did a great job."

Qin Kai beheaded hundreds of thousands of high-level troops from the coalition of princes in Wuchao, while Li Xiuning led troops to counterattack the Guandu camp, beheading hundreds of thousands of low-level troops and players, as well as a small number of high-level troops, and achieved good results.

The combined results of the two, the losses of the Eighteenth Route princes were even greater.

It is not in vain that Qin Kai trained Li Xiuning to be a quasi-holy general. Li Xiuning's attributes are close to Li Shimin's.

"Being able to share the worries of the Lord is what Xiuning should do."

Li Xiuning has the characteristics of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, and has always been warlike.

Qin Kai trained Li Xiuning to be a quasi-holy general, and Li Xiuning has the ability to be alone.

"General, please spare me, our Jingzhou Cai family can pay a lot of ransom!"

The general Cai Zhong, who was captured by Li Xiuning, begged for mercy again.

It's this guy again.

It is time to blackmail the Cai family of Jingzhou for a ransom.

Without tens of thousands of gold coins, Cai Zhong could never go back.

Yao Guangxiao's triangular eyes flashed a ruthless light, and he whispered to Qin Kai: "My lord, the elite cavalry of the eighteenth princes suffered heavy losses in the battle of Wuchao. We can start the second phase of the plan. Before returning to Cai Zhong , it is better to let Cai Zhong bring back some news to hit the morale of the princes from all walks of life, and then carry out the second phase of the plan with a thunderbolt, and completely defeat the princes of the [-]th Route."

"It makes sense."

Qin Kai didn't expect to use Cai Zhong.

After the Battle of Wuchao ended, the two sides began a long confrontation, and occasionally small-scale battles broke out, but neither side devoted all their troops to a decisive battle.

The princes of the Eighteenth Route waited patiently for Qin Kai's army to be short of food, and Qin Kai knew that the high-level cavalry such as tiger and leopard cavalry, Xiliang cavalry, and Bawang cavalry lost by the eighteenth princes in Wuchao could not be replenished in a short time, so he did not in a hurry.

At the same time, Liu Biao sent envoys to discuss the redemption of Cai Zhong with Qin Kai.

Last time Liu Biao used [-] gold coins to redeem Cai Zhong, but this time Qin Kai opened his mouth and demanded [-] gold coins.

Because of Cai's face, Liu Biao had no choice but to agree.

Before releasing Cai Zhong, Qin Kai led Cai Zhong to inspect the warehouse of the camp.

In the warehouse of the camp, the soldiers moved to the sandbags on the upper floor, and there were bags of grain and grass inside.

Cai Zhong was dumbfounded.

"The princes of the Eighteenth Route thought that by burning Wuchao's grain and grass, they would cut off my grain and grass. I didn't expect that I had already secretly stored a large amount of grain and grass in the camp. Even if Wuchao's grain and grass were lost, the grain and grass would be more than enough. You can be convinced ?”

Qin Kai looked at Cai Zhong's expression playfully.

He seemed to have seen the surprised reaction of the Eighteenth Route princes when Cai Zhong brought the news back to Guandu Camp.

If the princes of the Eighteenth Route knew that the grain and grass burned by Wuchao would not affect the overall situation, they would be furious.

Cai Zhong was completely shocked, and he hesitated in his speech: "General, you have too much food and grass, so everything is in your plan."

"This is what happens when you fight against me. You can go."

Qin Kai received [-] gold coins from the Cai family in Jingzhou, and asked Cai Zhong to bring back the information that Qin Kai's army was not short of food back to Guandu Camp.

"Farewell."

Cai Zhong knew that Qin Kai was still trustworthy, he let him go last time, and this time he received the ransom, it was no exception, so he swaggered and galloped away from Qin Kai's camp.

Qin Kai looked at the back of Cai Zhong's departure, the corners of his mouth raised.

The two cavalry generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing reported to Qin Kai: "My lord, the cavalry has assembled and is ready to set off at any time."

Qin Kai took a deep breath: "Start the second phase of the plan."

In Guandu Daying, the princes of the Eighteenth Route are holding a regular meeting, eating, drinking, watching songs and dances every day, waiting for Qin Kai's army to eat up their food and grass.

"It's really strange. It's been ten days since the Wuchao was set on fire. Why is there still no shortage of food in Qin Kai's camp?"

"Cao Ren, Shi Huan and other generals often led troops to rob grain, and occasionally captured. Judging from the number of grain carts entering and leaving the opposing camp every day, the grain and grass temporarily transported from Baima to Guandu should not be able to supply Qin Kai's army. , is it possible that his soldiers and horses can survive eating grass? How can the morale not collapse?"

Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Liu Biao and other princes waited for ten days. The impact of burning Wuchao on Qin Kai was almost better than nothing. Qin Kai's army was not affected at all by the burning of Wuchao's food and grass.

"Everyone, state herdsmen and generals, something is wrong, we have been fooled!"

When Cai Zhong returned to Guandu Daying, he rushed directly to the meeting place of the Eighteenth Route princes.

"Cai Zhong?"

The princes of the Eighteenth Route didn't think highly of Liu Biao's general.

Cai Zhong was just a gold-rank general, he had no sense of existence, and was taken away by Li Xiuning's troops ten days ago.

Liu Biao said: "Cai Zhong, the shepherds and prefects of all states are here, don't lose your composure, speak slowly when you have something to say."

Cai Zhong ignored Liu Biao: "Qin Kai stockpiled a large amount of food and grass in advance in the camp, but usually disguised it as sand. The food and grass in Wuchao was a trap set by him! He is not short of food!"

"what?!"

Liu Biao was just trying to persuade Cai Zhong to be gentle, but when he heard the news, he was shocked, the wine bottle in his hand fell to the ground, and the sake spilled all over the floor.

This news is too shocking!

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Lu Bu and other princes were also stunned.

Qin Kai is not short of food!
Then Wuchao is a trap!

Liu Biao asked, "Cai Zhong, are you sure that Qin Kai is not short of food?"

Cai Zhong clasped his fists together: "This is what the last general saw and heard with his own eyes in Qin Kai's camp. It's absolutely true!"

Cao Cao was suspicious and said hesitantly: "Is there a possibility that Qin Kai is playing tricks and deliberately asking you to bring back a false news, but in fact his food and grass can't last for three days?"

"Meng De's conjecture is not impossible. Qin Kai is insidious and cunning, with falsehoods and falsehoods. Maybe there is no shortage of food because he deliberately released the news."

Yuan Shao clapped the table and agreed with Cao Cao's idea.

Qin Kai released Cai Zhong back, and asked Cai Zhong to bring back the news. No one knew whether Qin Kai asked Cai Zhong to bring back fake news.

Qin Kai said that there is no shortage of food in his army, so does that mean there is no shortage of food?

The counselors of all the princes were all lost in thought.

There are two possibilities. One is that, as Cai Zhong said, Qin Kai is really not short of food, so the impact will be great, which means that the efforts of the allied forces of the princes to raid Wuchao with heavy casualties will come to naught.

The second possibility is Cao Cao's speculation that Qin Kai deliberately spread the news to weaken the morale of the princes' coalition forces, and made the eighteenth princes rush to a decisive battle. Shortage worries.

Sima Yi said: "Regardless of whether Qin Kai is short of food or not, if he is short of food after waiting for a while, he will show his feet."

"It makes sense."

"The real can not be fake, the fake can not be real."

All the counselors nodded, and Sima Yi was right.

As long as Qin Kai is really short of food, no matter how much he pretends, Qin Kai will not be able to persist.

So the Allied Forces of the Eighteenth Route Princes waited in Guandu for another two days.

"Urgent report! Qin Kai's cavalry bypassed the Guandu camp! His cavalry appeared behind the Guandu camp!"

When the eighteen princes held a regular meeting again, Xia Houyuan broke into the meeting in full armor and asked the princes for help.

Now all the princes of the Eighteenth Route stood up.

Qin Kai's methods are always unexpected.

When the princes of the Eighteenth Route were in doubt and were still wondering whether Qin Kai was short of food, Qin Kai gathered a large number of cavalry, abandoned the goal of Guandu, and made a surprise attack on the empty defense of Xuchang City!
According to the rules of the system mastermind, in the battle of Guandu, as long as Xuchang City is captured, Qin Kai will win!

Therefore, Qin Kai did not have to fight the Eighteenth Princes in Guandu, but bypassed the Eighteenth Princes and went straight to Xuchang City!
Historically, in the Battle of Guandu, Xu You once offered advice to Yuan Shao, sending a team to advance lightly, rushing overnight, and captured Xudu.

Yuan Shao did not accept it.

Qin Kai resolutely chose to adopt this plan!

The allied forces of the feudal lords made a surprise attack on Wuchao, and Qin Kai became bolder and directly attacked Xuchang!
Qin Kai's surprise attack on Xuchang was not reckless, but because the eighteenth princes lost a large number of elite cavalry in Wuchao, and it was difficult to return to defend Xuchang!

In addition, the princes of the Eighteenth Route were still pondering whether Qin Kai was short of food in Guandu, but ignored Qin Kai's possible surprise attack.

"Damn it, our elite cavalry was completely lost in Wuchao. It is difficult to transport the army back to Xuchang in time only by teleportation array! This is Qin Kai's serial plan!"

Cao Cao was shocked and overturned the wine bottle on the desk.

The coalition forces of the princes thought they had taken the initiative by surprise in the attack on Wuchao. In fact, the coalition forces of the princes had fallen into a passive position since they attacked Wuchao.

The allied forces of the princes lost a large number of high-level cavalry, and it was difficult to keep up with the elite cavalry Qin Kai used to attack Xuchang.

Qin Kai mobilized Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, two holy-level cavalry commanders, to attack Xuchang with Wei Qing and Huo Qubing himself.

After taking down Xuchang, the eighteen princes would be destroyed without attack.

"Too cruel!"

Recommended Xuanyuan, Yuan Fang, Emperor Qing and other players all had their scalps tingling.

They were still thinking about a showdown with Qin Kai at Guandu, but Qin Kai turned around and went to attack Xuchang.

What kind of troops did they use to keep up with Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's cavalry?
"Try to use Guandu's teleportation array to transport the high-level troops back to Xuchang, and then mobilize the low-level cavalry to rush back to Xuchang!"

The princes from all walks of life lost their high-level cavalry, so they could only use low-level cavalry to rescue Xuchang.

"Report, soldiers from Jizhou and Youzhou on the opposite side of the Guandu camp are attacking our camp!"

The room leak happened to rain overnight, so Li Xiuning attacked again to prevent the eighteen princes from going back to rescue Xuchang easily.
