Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 267 Casualties are less than 7000, more than [-] are broken, this is Cao Jun
Cao Jun's pontoon bridge was in full swing.

Under the orders of Sui Gu and others, the Black Mountain Army waited patiently.

Just until nightfall.

Cao Jun was only building pontoon bridges, and did not use these pontoon bridges at all to launch the first wave of offensive posture. This made the three of them who thought they had predicted Zhang Liao's battle plan quite depressed.

After all, it is as analyzed before.

It is their side who are eager to start the war right now and achieve the results. If the delay is too long and the consumption of food and grass is too large.

There is no need for Cao Jun to take action. I am afraid that their side has already fallen into chaos, and then obediently get out.

At this moment, I saw Cao Jun working hard to build the pontoon bridges, and after they were built, they were piled aside, each of them was full of enthusiasm, but they were slow.

Sui Gu said to the left and right with some depression.

"It's getting dark now, even if you want to fight, you can't fight. Let's wait until tomorrow to see. If Cao Jun just wants to delay time, then we will take the initiative to attack here, and we will never give them a chance!"

"Give me an order to send some soldiers and horses to camp along the river bank, focusing on guarding against Cao's army crossing the river. Send more teams to keep an eye on the river at all times!"

Under Sui Gu's order.

The Montenegrin Army quickly completed its strategic defense.

The strategic center of gravity of the entire army is concentrated along the Zhangshui River, that is, on the east side in terms of geography.

Corresponding.

The defensive forces on the other three sides were naturally weakened.

…………

That night.

It is located in Shangdang County, Bingzhou.

Thirty miles west of Qingzhang River.

An army is taking advantage of the night to rest here.

Although there were only a few bonfires set up in the huge camp, with the faint light of the fire.

It can still be seen that in addition to the soldiers sitting or lying on the ground resting in the camp, there are also a large number of war horses accompanying the army.

This is a cavalry unit!
And at the moment under a big tree.

While nibbling the dry food in his hand, Cao Chun exhorted in a calm and solemn voice to a young general in white robes sitting cross-legged in front of him.

"Zilong, crossing the river and taking a detour this time to attack the enemy's formation is of great importance."

"Whether our army can make a quick decision, obtain results as soon as possible, and return to Yecheng in victory depends entirely on our cavalry battalion. What kind of results can we achieve this time."

"Tomorrow morning, you will lead 200 people to be the vanguard of the army. Your task is to create momentum first and break through a gap."

"I will lead the main force of the cavalry to follow you. As soon as a gap appears, I will immediately charge in and smash the enemy's position!"

Hear Cao Chun's order.

Zhao Yun's face was full of excitement.

He hurriedly put the dry food into his arms, clapped his hands left and right, and then promised Cao Chun.

"The general entrusts me with a heavy responsibility, how dare Yun not do his best, to lead the army and be the vanguard tomorrow, I will take the lead and kill him alone!"

Cao Chun nodded in satisfaction.

He patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder casually.

Then he said in a mature and solemn tone: "The general appreciates you so much, and before leaving, let me take care of you."

"I am the leader of the army. The greatest care I can do is to let you show up on the battlefield, so don't disappoint the general's expectations."

"As long as you break through the enemy's formation this time, I will make a great contribution for you, and I will ask the general to reward you when I go back!"

Zhao Yun said nothing.

Once again, I thanked Cao Chun.

……

After saying a few more words.

Zhao Yun got up from under the big tree and left.

While walking towards the position of his team, he took out the dry food in his arms, chewed and swallowed it with clear water.

Just while enjoying dinner.

Zhao Yun's thoughts had already started flying.

After he led his people to defect to Cao Ang, he was assigned to Cao Chun's subordinates because of his proficiency in bow and horse and horse fighting. He was a military lord and led 200 people.

This time the crusade against the little black bandit.

Zhao Yun was naturally also a member of the army.

I thought that the cavalry battalion might not be able to participate in this war until a few days later.

But I didn't expect to receive such a task on the first day when I arrived at the Zhangshui River.

Taking advantage of the sight and attention of the Montenegrin Army on the other side, they were all attracted by the construction of the pontoon bridge project by their own side.

The cavalry battalion moved eastward quietly, then went south along the Zhangshui River, and then crossed the river decisively. It took such a long circle before arriving at the current position.

That is, behind the Black Mountain Army.

After a night of rest, he planned to kill the black bandit by surprise in the early morning of tomorrow.

As can be expected.

If the plan goes well.

It is very possible that the black mountain bandits will be killed and turned on their backs, or even collapsed in a single battle.

General Zhang Liao really deserved to be the number one general under General Cao's command. He was so quick-witted that he had already come up with a strategy to defeat the enemy as soon as he came into contact with the enemy.

Even General Zhang Liao is so powerful.

Then I really don't know how powerful General Cao, who is known as a famous general in the world, should have?

……

thought here.

Zhao Yun swallowed the last bit of dry food in two or three gulps, then clenched his fists with both hands, and swung his right hand down in the air, making a hammering gesture in the air.

The bright light in the eyes seems to illuminate the already dark camp.

The excitement in the eye sockets has been uncontrollably revealed, as if to set his whole body on fire.

It has been a while since he defected to General Cao.

It's just that he hasn't encountered any major events, so naturally he can't talk about making achievements.

But today is different.

This time he will serve as a pioneer and shine on the battlefield. As long as he performs well enough, what awaits him will be to flex his muscles and stretch his ambitions.

As for the group of black bandits.

As a native of Changshan Country, Zhao Yun suffered a lot from Zhang Yan. He repeatedly suppressed bandits in his hometown, and the ones who were suppressed were some bandits and bandits that were derived from Zhang Yan's entrenched presence in the north.

Although this wave of black bandits had separated from Zhang Yan, they came from the same source, and Zhao Yun had no psychological burden to beat them.

After a little excitement.

Zhao Yun didn't waste any more time.

Hurry up and return to the location of the part, and try to rest as much as possible before taking action at dawn.

……

Dawn the next day.

The sky was about to light up, but there was only a faint glimmer of morning light, but compared to the pitch-black night, it was somewhat more visible after all.

And at this moment in the Montenegro military camp.

Inside the tent that was strewn all over the ground, there were soldiers coming out in neatly dressed clothes.

One by one, sleepy and weak, they came to their respective posts and waited for the morning rations to be distributed.

The reason why I got up so early.

Except that now is a sensitive period when the two armies are confronting each other.

More importantly, it is because Cao Jun on the other side has also begun to take action.

They also got up early in the morning, and separated out multiple teams to carry the pontoon bridges built yesterday in batches, and piled them all up on the river bank.

It looks like it is about to attack at any time.

This is what I saw.

Sui Gu and others dare not neglect.

We had no choice but to continue to increase our defenses on the river bank.

And in order to prevent Cao Jun from making a false attack and delaying time, Sui Gu also ordered to pile up the pontoon bridge he built on the river bank.

Yan Ming waited until noon at the latest.

If Cao Jun doesn't send out before noon, then don't wait any longer, and let your own side take the lead in launching the attack.

Thus.

The entire west bank of Zhangshui.

It is already blocked.

A large number of soldiers and utensils are crowded here. Except for barely leaving a passage for the soldiers who conveyed the order, it is somewhat difficult for the rest to turn around.

……

"This group of sons of bitches, whether to fight or not, give me a quick word. They have been dragging here without any movement. They are almost dying of heat!"

Yu Du couldn't help complaining.

It's really summer, no matter inside or outside the camp, there is no cool place to be found, and there is nothing to do, isn't that tormenting?

Sui Gu on the side heard the complaints.

When I was about to say something.

"call out!!!"

A sharp piercing sound suddenly resounded above their heads, the sound was extremely ear-piercing, and could be said to be heard clearly on both sides of the Zhangshui River.

Everyone immediately changed color.

It's just that they haven't waited for their reaction.

Then I heard a commotion on the river bank ahead, and at the same time soldiers rushed to the front.

"Generals, Cao Jun is moving!"

"The enemy army is already connecting the pontoon bridges and pushing them into the water one after another!"

was interrupted by such a one.

Sui Gu and the others also forgot about the sharp beeping sound before, but instead they were wearing armor with excitement on their faces, and then held weapons.

"Good come!"

"Command, the whole army is ready to fight immediately, let the archers go to the front, and the rest of the people wait for alternate positions and support them in the back row!"

……

There was another extremely chaotic commotion.

Mainly, the front and rear rows exchanged positions. In this narrow space, it was a disaster.

Sui, Yu, and Bai looked at the messy scene in front of them, their facial muscles were twitching crazily, they wanted to cover their eyes and couldn't bear to look directly.

But the only thing to be thankful for.

The reason is that there is this river blocking.

Unless the enemy can fly over.

Otherwise there is plenty of time for them to adjust.

But just when Sui Gu and the others felt slightly relieved, there was another commotion from behind.

This made the three of them frown and look back.

It's just that the disadvantages of a large and disorderly army are revealed here. With a huge camp of more than [-] people, even if most of the troops are concentrated along the river, there are still a large number of soldiers behind.

If you don't stand on a high place, you can't see what's going on behind you, and you can't hear other movements.

The sound of people talking, running, and the sound of changing formations on the river bank can really make people noisy.

"Come here a few people, go to the back to see the situation!"

Sui solid basic military quality is still there.

He felt a little ominous in his heart.

He quickly sent a few guards to the back.

However, before these soldiers were out of sight, a very clear and highly recognizable voice sounded in Sui Gu's ears.

"kill!!!"

There was an extremely clear shout of killing.

Immediately, Sui Gu's eyes went dark.

"Quick, quickly protect the rear!"

"There are enemies taking the back road!"

However, so far, everything has been of no avail.

…………

The horse rides the Qilian mountains and rivers,
What a day when the soldiers rise in Xuanhuang.

At this moment, Zhao Yun was holding the reins in one hand, and the spear in the other. In the direction of the spear point, countless people were picked up by him and flew to the ground, splashing a cloud of blood mist.

And under the high-speed charge of the war horse.

The Montenegrin bandit soldiers standing in front were either trampled or kicked away by horseshoes, or they were frightened and scattered by the cavalry cavalry approaching with great momentum.

In short, under Zhao Yun's first charge.

The already very weak rear line of defense.

It quickly evolved into a trend of collapse.

The white horse and the silver gun are unparalleled in the world.

Cooperating with Zhao Yun's outfit, the white robe that is extremely conspicuous on the battlefield is truly a dazzling thunderbolt, harvesting everywhere it goes.

And the 200 people who charged behind Zhao Yun.

Although it is not as powerful as Changshan Zhao Zilong.

But lined up and formed into a formation, the lethality brought about is naturally even more terrifying.

The vanguard is invincible.

The already weak line of defense was completely torn apart.

This also provided an excellent opportunity for the main force of the cavalry battalion led by Cao Chun.

Dang even led the soldiers under his command to follow the route Zhao Yun opened up at the highest speed, and a fierce man plunged in, ruthlessly wreaking havoc in the enemy's formation.

……

As the saying goes, the defeat is like a mountain.

The more miscellaneous the army, the stronger this effect, and the lower the chance of recovery.

Although the Black Mountain Army calls itself an army.

But in essence, it is a group of refugees and grassroots, swarming together to form a mob.

The threshold for will and morale is very low.

The cavalry led by Cao Chun rushed left and right in the army formation, and the casualties they could cause were very limited. After all, there was a huge difference in the size of the troops between the two sides.

But the panic and panic caused by it.

But it is spreading rapidly in all directions.

Especially the endless shouts of killing, the trampling sound of horseshoes shaking the surrounding fields, and the wailing of soldiers who were thrown or trampled down by horseshoes.

It's almost like a reminder.

It hit everyone's heart one after another.

Facing the combination of one man and one horse, these young and strong soldiers in the fields seemed to have a phobia of giants in an instant.

Frightened and trembling.

Under this tide-like ripple.

Panic and confusion soon spread to where the heavy troops guarding the west bank of the Zhangshui River were at all times.

Disaster has come!

……

You can't tell what's going on behind you.

I only know that ghosts and wolves are howling behind.

There are also countless trampling sounds of horseshoes.

In the surging flow of people, it is impossible to know whether there are thousands or tens of thousands of cavalry in the rear!
The unknown is always the most frightening!
In addition, the space along the river is very narrow, and it is impossible to escape in all directions.

As a result, a large number of soldiers were forced to drown in the river.

But it happened at this time.

The main force of Cao's army on the other side of the river was launched.

The pontoon bridge that had been built for a long time finally came in handy, and it was laid to the opposite bank with all its strength, while soldiers continued to push along the pontoon bridge.

And on the east coast.

It is a line of archers.

Their shooting range cannot reach the other side of the river, but they can completely hit those broken soldiers who fell into the river.

Under so many blows.

Originally crystal clear Qingzhang water.

In an instant, it was dyed dark red, and there were countless corpses floating on the river.

At first, it could float downstream along the flow of the river, but as time went by, it quickly accumulated in the river.

So much so that the flow of the river was blocked, and the end of the scene was trembling.

……

Sui Gu and the other three huddled together.

There are dozens of personal guards around to protect.

The entire Montenegrin Army had the most elite guards of the three of them, so they faced the chaos in the camp and the power of the cavalry charge.

It didn't seem too panicky.

It's just that the expressions of the three of them are almost the same at this moment.

All are as dead ashes.

Because they know.

Look at it in its current form.

It's all over!

Sui Gu was even more serious, his whole face was as black as ink, his eyes stared blankly at the ground, his hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably.

Still muttering something in his mouth.

"It's over, it's over!"

"This is an army of 10,000+, just ruined once, after this battle, I have nothing, I am nothing!"

"Okay, what a powerful general!"

"What an idiot, I am an idiot, I Suigu is the stupidest idiot!"

Looking at Sui Gu already looks crazy.

Yu and Bai who were on the side rushed to each other, shaking him awake frantically.

"Brother White Rabbit, don't be discouraged on the battlefield. This army of more than [-] people is finished, but you and I are still safe and sound."

"The most urgent thing is to rush out of the formation as soon as possible. After Cao Jun has charged for a while, he will definitely stop fighting. At that time, we will gather the remaining soldiers."

"Afterwards, you can return to Yan Shuai's command, and you can still be at ease, why bother?!"

It was reminded by the two of them.

Sui Gu realized suddenly.

"What the two virtuous brothers said is reasonable, now is not the time to be depressed, let's go, let's go quickly!"

The voice fell.

Several people immediately ordered the guards to form a formation, and rushed out towards the west decisively.

……

Zhao Yun is still galloping on horseback.

Anyway, the main purpose of the cavalry attacking from behind.

It is to cause confusion in the enemy's position.

Just rushing in all directions, no need to determine any direction, the louder the noise, the better.

Only after a few laps back and forth.

Zhao Yun has his eye on a group of people.

Compared with other miscellaneous soldiers who could only be wrapped in rags and held bamboo spears and stone farm tools, this group of people was well equipped.

Not only more than a dozen of them rode horses.

There are dozens of people around, wearing light armor on their bodies, holding formally forged weapons in their hands.

Although there are no flags around this team, it just depends on this appearance.

Zhao Yun can conclude.

I caught a group of big fish by myself!
Without further ado, Dang even greeted the brothers behind him: "Everyone listen to my orders, follow my direction, and charge!"

……

Under Zhao Yun's order.

The two hundred people he led.

Immediately, it turned into a sharp knife and stabbed straight ahead. Behind Zhao Yun and other troops, there were a large number of cavalry main forces wandering on the battlefield.

After all, there is no requirement to rush in which direction.

That being the case.

Follow the troops ahead and you're done.

As such.

The small cavalry unit headed by Zhao Yun suddenly turned into a torrent and rushed forward.

And the ones that Zhao Yun was targeting at this moment were the three Sui Gu who had made plans to escape from the battlefield immediately.

At first they didn't notice the change.

However, with the sound of horseshoes getting closer.

The three glanced at each other.

Immediately, the souls of the dead burst out, and my heart was horrified.

"Quick! Rush out!"

Sui Gu's voice was hoarse and exhausted, his beard and hair were all stretched out, and he looked like a madman, without any manners at all.

However, he had not yet waited for his troops to act.

Zhao Yun was already in front of him.

……

"puff!"

The horses charging at high speed knocked away a few soldiers standing in front of them.

The spear in Zhao Yun's hand turned into a white light.

Together with the sound of the tip of the gun piercing the flesh, it sounded and fell again.

In the next second, it passed through a person's neck.

Appeared on the other side.

Then, the tip of the spear was bloody, and the castration continued, and he shot the man sitting on the horse down together.

And the face that fell to the ground in despair.

Vaguely showing Sui Gu's expression full of unwillingness, and the great panic at the time of life and death.

have to say.

Zhao Yun's target was very accurate.

One shot killed the little black bandit, the leader of the three leaders.

And after killing the enemy with one shot, the audience was shocked.

Yu Du and Bai Rao didn't dare to continue running, they rolled off their horses one after another, and surrendered to Zhao Yun by lying on the ground, just begging to spare their lives.

"Junhou, General Cao has an order to start surrendering immediately, and those who fall to the ground will not be killed!"

As an orderly soldier beside Cao Chun ran quickly, Zhao Yun got the order immediately.

Not long after.

The voices of "those who surrender on the ground will not be killed" and "those who lay down their weapons will not die" resounded throughout the battlefield.

……

The battle lasted until evening.

With Cao Jun's complete victory, he only paid the price of less than a hundred casualties, and took down more than [-] troops of the Black Mountain Army in one fell swoop.

Even the three leaders of the Black Mountain Army.

Both were killed twice.

It can be said that the record is astonishing and jaw-dropping.

Among the more than [-] troops who were defeated, about one or two thousand died in the cavalry charge, arrow shooting, and hand-to-hand combat on the pontoon bridge.

As for those who fled from the battlefield, there were probably more than [-].

All the rest is here.

In other words.

With 5000 troops, Cao Jun directly captured more than [-] Black Mountain Army with less than [-] casualties.

This is a heaven-defying ratio.

It is equivalent to one person capturing ten people alive.

This is the battle in the era of cold weapons, and this is the elite regular army fighting the refugees and grassroots bandits.

Although exaggerated, it is by no means out of line!

And the reason why such a brilliant victory can be achieved is definitely inseparable from Zhang Liao's strategy of making a move.

Pretending to cross the river for a strong attack attracted all the attention of the enemy, and made the Black Mountain Army shift the focus of defense to the river bank.

It further leads to congestion in the front and emptiness in the rear defense.

For the cavalry, this top-heavy formation is simply a grassland that can charge wantonly, and let them mow the grass with Wushuang.

As can be expected.

If Zhang Liao didn't make a plan to attack the west.

But if they entangled with the enemy in Zhangshui, then if this battle is fought, at least a thousand people will be lost.

The results of the battle will never be so rich!

…………

The post-war clean-up work was very complicated.

It is necessary to collect the corpses on the battlefield and burn them on fire to avoid the plague, and carry them downstream along the river.

At the same time, these captured remnants.

It must also be closely guarded.

These young and strong are all vital forces, and for the Cao family, they are a good resource.

The next expansion of the army, as well as the military base, will have to rely on the contribution of this group of people.

Besides.

That is to restrain the food and grass carried by the Black Mountain Army, as well as the assets of Sui Gu and the other three.

After all, battles cannot be fought in vain.

The biggest gain is naturally being young and strong.

But these corners and corners can't leak through the fingertips, can they?
As for the broken soldiers who fled from the battlefield, Zhang Liao also specially ordered the cavalry to disperse and chase them, trying to capture them alive as much as possible.

After all, more than [-] people are mixed in the surrounding area of ​​Sheguo County, which may have a bad impact on the local public security, and may even regroup as bandits.

Therefore, future troubles must be eliminated.

Just these post-war cleanups.

It lasts for a day and a night, it is essential.

And in this gap.

Zhang Liao also wrote a battle report in hand, and immediately sent someone to Yecheng to announce the good news to General Cao Ang.

Delivered with the battle report.

The world is also shaken by it!
