Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 189 What else can I do?Forced to fight!

With an order, six thousand crossbow cavalry rushed out of the forest in an instant, like a torrent of sand and soil, and the waves swept over in an instant.The soldiers and horses on both sides are rushing to hedge at high speed!When Dian Wei saw Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses, and saw Wen Chou chasing him behind him, he bent down on the horse's back, put his feet firmly on the stirrups and slapped the stirrups hard, and stopped entangled with others.

After rushing to the protection of the army, he continued to rush forward for an unknown amount of time, and finally got off his horse and lay on the ground. He was so tired that he didn't want to care about anything. The black horse, BMW, spit a few mouthfuls of white foam, and knelt down beside him to rest. After lying down for a while, Dian Wei would recall that occasionally when he practiced solo, he was exhausted and fell to the ground. "Can you do it, little dog?" Immediately, he regained some strength, and then lay down completely flat with sore body.

"Damn it, I'm running out of strength! If I lose, I'll stand up and fight again, just right!"

Dian Wei was out of breath, muttering in his heart, he didn't even have the strength to move his mouth a few more times, he had been fighting all night, going in and out of the mountains and forests in ambush, fighting with the strategy of harassment, relying on what the previous princes and lords had done In the eight words spoken, the enemy advances and we retreat, and the enemy retreats and we advance.That is to say, when he was ambushed for the first time, the casualties were a bit heavy. After carrying it over, he basically occupied the mountain forest terrain and ran back and forth. How angry people are now, but Dian Wei has no strength, just now Wen Chou approached him in the forest and wanted to attack him, the halberd that Dian Wei gave back was almost considered the most powerful blow, but Wen Chou really deserved it Fame, a halberd that has been carefully planned in the past can be beheaded and made meritorious deeds.

At this time, Huang Zhongren was within a hundred steps, holding the reins with a broadsword in his hand. After firing arrows from the hand crossbow, he rushed directly and abandoned the bow and arrow. The dense arrows had suppressed Wen Chou so much that he could only hide. The soldiers behind him The horse has even turned its head and left in a panic.

Coincidentally, the speed of the confrontation between the two armies was too fast. The moment Wen Chou was shot by the bow and arrows, the densely packed arrows flew like pear blossoms in a rainstorm. The horses and cavalry in the front row fell down together, hundreds of people fell down immediately Of course the lieutenant behind, Wen Chou, had no time to react, so he could only rein in the reins to stop his forward momentum. At this moment, Huang Zhong didn't slow down, he rode his horse into the crowd, swung his knife and chopped off two people who were about to come forward. The general who blocked him rushed straight to Wen Chou.

The ferocity of the future stunned Wen Chou in an instant, and when he looked back, he could only slightly raise his hand to resist, but Huang Zhong leaped up to him, kicked his legs and immediately stood up, using his strength, he raised his long knife and lowered it with force. The move of splitting Huashan hit Wen Chou's head like lightning. Of course, he could not resist it with one arm. His strength had already been used up. Huang Zhong even used his raised arm to slash down to Wen Chou's neck. When the enemy general lost his mind and was suffering from pain, Huang Zhong drew his knife around his waist again and stabbed him on the left side of his chest with great force. Wen Chou immediately fell into a pool of blood.

The next moment, all the soldiers of the Crossbow Cavalry Battalion were killed in an instant. They fought fiercely, and the horses screamed countless times. They broke free from the shackles and ran away. They had been chasing too far, and the sudden appearance of Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses surprised them, and they slowed down unconsciously. This slowdown was the most terrible.

Therefore, Wen Chou died in the first battle, and all the cavalry generals dared not enter again. The difference from Yan Liang was that the besieging and killing Yan Liang in the mountains at that time was a battle of trapped beasts, and there was no benefit in surrendering. People wanted to die, so they risked their lives to kill, but at this moment there are still thousands of Yuan Jun on the plain, what they want is to go back to the camp first, so that they can preserve their strength so that the entire army will not be wiped out.

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Huang Zhong laughed, seeing Yuan Jun fleeing in embarrassment, cursed a few words to the left and right: "The fleeing soldiers are unbelievable! There are not many pursuers! Chase and kill the remnants of the enemy army to the mountain! Drag the corpses of the brothers back!"

So he personally led the army forward, patted the horses and followed behind, all the soldiers behind him had crossbows in their hands, and when they got close, they immediately released arrows. As soon as they reached the middle distance, the rain of arrows could shoot the deserting knights off their horses, and they chased for a while. In the fragrant time, hundreds of people were beheaded, and five hundred horses were scattered on the plain. After driving the people away, Huang Zhong immediately brought people back to clean up the battlefield and took all the horses away.

Dian Wei, who was still lying on the ground gasping for breath, his face covered in dust, felt a shadow in front of him and immediately sat up, watching Huang Zhong slowly urge his horse to walk forward with his head in his hands, his beard fluttering and his body bruised, Dian Wei laughed a few times and said: "The last general, Huang Zhong, beheaded the enemy general for the general!"

Dian Wei stared at him sideways, with his hands on the ground, the head still fell beside him. Generals like them were already used to the smell of blood, and they didn't really care. He grinned and said, "You Why do you want to give me the credit?"

"The [-] horses were stolen from the general by the prince. How can we not give credit to him! Huang has this in mind! When this kindness is done for the prince, he must also return the credit. All the horses handed over today will be given to the general camp. Down."

"Then you can make friends!"

Dian Wei used to think that Huang Zhong was a man who valued friendship, but now he sees that the steelyard in his heart is very flat. Today, at least five or six hundred horses can be obtained. If he went to the forest to search again, he might not have eight hundred horses. It is not a strange thing for a war horse to fall on the plain. After a big battle, if the war horse is not pulled away, it will naturally go to places inaccessible.

In war now, war horses are the most precious, and they are another life of a sergeant. The general has a war horse and equips it with stirrup harnesses, which will more than double the strength of the army. With such a big temptation, this old general did not hesitate at all, and used it all The exchange of favors shows that in his heart, love is worth more than these hundreds of horses. Hundreds of horses are worth tens of thousands of gold!
Because I’m afraid you won’t be able to buy war horses for recruitment, purchase, and breeding. This is a priceless item, and Dian Wei’s personality will definitely not be entangled. But it’s disrespectful! I will think of you next time I have something good.”

"Hahaha!"

Huang Zhong laughed and got off his horse, landed on the ground and strode forward with a ruddy complexion and an excited expression. He pulled Dian Wei up, looked around at the current situation, and understood that there was no need to stay any longer, and all the achievements of the battle had been distributed. , So he said loudly: "I will let the crossbow cavalry camp go to the mountains and forests to pull the corpses of the dead brothers, and come back to perform meritorious service and bury them. This is a special order from the prince. The pension will definitely be distributed to each of their families."

After saying this, the smile on his face gradually froze and disappeared, he solemnly patted the back of Dian Wei's hand, and said earnestly: "Don't blame the prince for robbing the horse, he didn't do it to share the credit with others, he did it to win this battle."

"Once the victory is won, half of the big men will return, and their spirits will flourish!"

"Ok!"

Dian Wei had a lot of thoughts in his heart, he didn't believe that Xu Zhen would take Fu Han's matter to heart, but he didn't ask any more questions, he just said hello in a deep voice, and he didn't say much anymore, he pulled Huang Zhong's hand He got up, but he didn't leave immediately, but was waiting for the crossbow cavalry camp to bring back the corpses. Most of them could be brought back for burial. Can't be who it is.

When it was almost noon, Xu Zhen ordered Zhao Yun and Xu Chu to send troops to the Wen Chou camp. The morale of the camp was low. Yanjin continued to deliver, and it was only at this time that he breathed a sigh of relief.

They are actually very dangerous in Yanjin. The river will have a certain flood season in summer and autumn. If you stay here all the time, when the tide rises during the flood season, or when there is continuous heavy rain, the camp will be flooded and you can only go to the mountains to hide It is okay to garrison troops at ordinary times, but it is difficult to drag all the food and grass to the mountains for placement.

It's better to move forward.

Furthermore, if the white horse is besieged and defeated, and Xiahoudun retreats to the ferry and is hoarded by the river, following Jia Xu's strategy of making waves last year, the entire Yanjin camp may be flooded by natural disasters. If Wen Chou cannot be defeated this time, Xu Zhen also has to consider changing camps again.

But the result was good, Wen Chou couldn't hold on, he didn't completely block Xu Zhen between the mountains near Yanjin, let him jump out of the plain, everyone's strength was equal, but in terms of the talents of the generals under his command, how could they compare? pass?

……

On the front of Guandu, inside Yuan Shao's camp, Yuan Shao could no longer cry when he heard the news. Now is not the time to use crying to push soldiers into mourning soldiers. He just stared at the battle report without saying a word, and fell into a sluggish state. Even his hands tremble a little.

"Wen Chou has an army of [-], why was he killed?! Why?!"

"Let out of the camp to pursue rashly, and was ambushed!!" Xu You's face was ugly, and he was annoyed as he folded his hands, and his body was like a concubine. , General Wen Chou thought he could make meritorious deeds, but Xu Zhenshao turned out to be a general! Unexpectedly..."

"I didn't expect Xu Zhen to have a soldier and horse, holding a small crossbow arrow, shooting like a torrential rain, and can shoot and kill the former army in an instant. We are invincible!"

"Xu Zhen personally leads the army?" Yuan Shao asked through gritted teeth.

"Xu Zhen didn't go to the battlefield."

"Cunning as a fox!"

Yuan Shao went up against the case angrily. This person really knows the way of treachery. Last year he went to the battlefield in person, pretending to be a masked general. In fact, many people under his seat can recognize Chitu at a glance, but this year he will never go to the battlefield again. Many strategies are rendered unfeasible.

And after camping on the battlefield, the spies had sent several letters of alienation, trying to make the relationship between Cao Cao and Xu Zhen worse, but unexpectedly, there was no spark, and the bond between the two was unbreakable. Xu Zhen's disposition has been maintained for many years, so Cao Cao didn't notice it at all.

Now that Wen Chou has been broken and the flanks are at stake, Yuan Shao is already a little flustered. The main reason is that Xu Zhen killed Wen Chou less than [-] days after the start of the war, and he killed Yan Liang last year. More than Cao Cao!
This person is more terrifying than Cao Cao!
For a moment, Yuan Shao's vest was covered with sweat, and his entire clothes were soaked, making him pacing back and forth, unable to make a decision, should he continue to march, or should he immediately withdraw and return to defend the cities of Liyang?Which of the two is more beneficial? !

If the troops are withdrawn, will the people in our territory be at peace?Now that there are so-called 65 soldiers and horses, how many people will return after they go back, and will they secretly join Cao Cao? No, they must definitely not retreat!
But if they want to fight, there is no possibility of see-saw except for a decisive battle now, otherwise they will only become more passive, which will boost the morale of Cao Cao's army, and eventually the army will become the victory, and it will be out of control.

Fortunately, the situation gave Yuan Shao a push, so that he would not be entangled soon.

Gao Lan, who was leading the army outside to set up his army, hurried into the tent, opened the curtain and walked quickly, with a solemn expression, he clasped his fists in front of Yuan Shao and said, "My lord, Cao Cao's army has come to attack, and it is less than thirty miles away."

"Humph!"

The corners of Yuan Shao's mouth curled down, and he immediately stood with his hands behind his back, standing tall and proud, and let out a long breath from his stomach, as if all the entanglements had been dispelled by these words, "Fight!"

The trumpets of the armed forces sounded.

Yuan Shao disregarded the words of civil and military, and never avoided the battle. He gave orders to all the soldiers under the current Chinese army to go to the battlefield to meet Cao Jun. He understood that Cao Cao's move was nothing more than wanting to take advantage of Xu Zhen's side to win. At that time, it was time to take advantage of this opportunity to advance and attack, so that Yuan Shao had no chance to breathe.

But fortunately, Ju Shou said earlier that Yan Liang and Wen Chou are unbearable generals. Although they have great prestige in the army, they are still only pioneers. The army praises their bravery, but not their ability to lead troops in battle. Cutting will not make the army's morale completely scattered, and you can continue to fight again!
The number is still dominant, Yuan Shao is not afraid of Cao Cao's so-called elite of only 10,000+.

The three armies marched for more than ten miles, and deployed an army formation with Cao Cao on the not-so-spacious plain in Guandu. For a while, the banners were unfurled, the voices of people were buzzing, and the neighing of war horses could be heard endlessly. Solemn and solemn, gathering stars.

Cao Cao could see Yuan Shao's formation in the distance, and laughed with Xun You and Guo Jia on his left and right: "With such a battle, today's battle may really be recorded in the annals of history."

"I still have enough soldiers and horses. If there are only tens of thousands of people, it will be even more exquisite. It may be passed down for thousands of years!"

Guo Jia couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and said to Cao Cao, "My lord, it seems that you don't think you will lose?"

"Not bad, I don't think so."

Cao Cao nodded succinctly, "It's not pride. I never say such things in the army. I only tell smart people like you that I still respect this brother very much when I use tactics."

"However, you can see that its military strength is just right, and it is more than mighty! A small prince with such an average military might have been frightened for a long time and dare not fight, but I will not. After he spreads out the battle formation , Although it is shocking, but I can see it clearly, this is not a military parade, what do you want me to see so clearly?"

Both Xun You and Guo Jia nodded.

Cao Cao's voice was slightly low, with a rustling sound, but it was extremely magnetic, and said: "It shows that they are the real arrogant soldiers. Even if Wen Chou was beheaded, Yanjin was defeated and the white horse could not attack for a long time, such a situation is still not enough. They didn’t treat us like a strong enemy.”

"I only thought that we were the white horses in Youzhou that had already been cracked and defeated. Using troops with such a mentality, we have used all our strengths on the superficial external momentum. You should believe in it. This army formation will be broken at the first touch!"

Although Cao Cao's words were not big, the disdainful attitude before the battle spread like a tide, and soon spread to the nearby soldiers and horses, and then spread to the whole army. The soldiers at all levels are also familiar with it. To inspire, or to communicate.

It caused quite an uproar, and most of the soldiers were nodding their heads frequently. If they looked at the army formation a few more times, they would no longer feel that it was strong, but the formation was so clear. What is so terrible about a proud soldier who is bound to be defeated?

What's more, there is still a strategy. Once the strategy is successful, Yuan Jun will throw away his helmet and armor even more. It doesn't matter if there are too many people.
