Xiliang Iron Cavalry

"Jia Rong, the Xiliang army, is not something that our army can fight against now. Only Yan Rou, who is aiming at Youzhou, has recently heard that there are many Wuhuan people rebelling in Youzhou. This is a great opportunity, if you can pacify Youzhou in one fell swoop, Cao Jun will have nothing to fear." Xu You said.

Yuan Shao was about to settle the case, when Tian Feng persuaded him: "My lord, don't do it, Yan Rou of Youzhou is very human. Back then, he was able to defeat Gongsun Zan who was once tyrannical with tens of thousands of troops. His strategy and courage can be seen, so he sent troops rashly." , will definitely offend Yan Rou, and needs careful planning."

Xu You pointed at Tian Feng and scolded: "Master Tian, ​​what do you mean? Could it be that the lord can't even defeat the little Yan Rou? Don't forget, if the lord hadn't sent troops to Youzhou back then, how could Yan Rou have been able to defeat you?" With the current situation, Yan Rou is nothing more than that, Gongsun Zan's strongest white horse righteousness is wiped out in the hands of the lord, let alone him?"

Yuan Shao glared at Tian Feng with an unhappy expression, and said: "Tomorrow, we will gather [-] troops and send them to Youzhou, and order General Gao Lan to meet them in Zhuojun!"

"promise!"

After everyone left, Tian Feng looked up to the sky and sighed. Under Yuan Shao's tent, the most unlucky thing was getting to know Xu You, who was narrow-minded and good at sycophant. You are against him in everything, Xu You must have seen that Tian Feng's strategy is to send troops instead of disarming him, but he immediately jumped out and blocked Tian Feng's words, causing Yuan Shao to misunderstand. Unable to work together, Tian Feng even faintly doubted whether such an army could last for a long time, but it firmly occupied his thoughts from the beginning to the end, so naturally there was no such thing as job-hopping. State advantage on the battlefield.

"Yuan Hao, don't worry about it. My lord is a narrow-minded person. What happened today, Yuan Hao is also thinking about our army. If you think about it afterwards, my lord will not blame you." Ju Shou persuaded.

These two people are bull-tempered and can't rub the sand in their eyes, but their way of speaking is not as good as Xu You's, so they have real materials, but they are not as good as Xu You's treatment in the army.

Yuan Shao of Jizhou sent [-] troops to Qingzhou, and another [-] troops to Youzhou. The princes of the world moved again, only because Jia Rong led the army to attack Bingzhou. Today, the situation in the world is only temporarily stable, but anyone with insight , They all began to plan for the affairs behind them. The Han Emperor is gone, and the princes who are worthy of refuge must of course think about it.

Let’s say that Cao Cao attacked all the way to Pengcheng. Seeing that the soldiers were heavily guarded, and the defender was Guan Yu, he had already made up his mind. Guan Yu is a general. As soon as the army moved forward, Guan Yu would be captured alive, and Pengcheng would be destroyed without attack.

"Send a letter to invite the defenders in the city to fight!" Cao Cao said.

Guan Yu scrutinized the invitation letter in his hand, his brows furrowed even more, and he suddenly said angrily: "Son Cao Cao, I really think our army is easy to bully!"

Zhou Cang on the side persuaded: "General, don't be angry. Cao's army has 10 people, and I have only [-] defenders. If we stick to the city, Cao's army will not be able to do anything. Cao Cao's move is just to anger the general, so as to attract the general out of the city." What a fight."

Guan Yu glanced at Zhou Cang in surprise. Before, he thought he was a reckless warrior, but he was quite knowledgeable. "Zhou Cang, this general ordered you to lead 5000 troops to defend Pengcheng, and wait for my general to win when the flag is raised."

Zhou Cang opened his mouth, waiting to persuade him, the general at the side touched him lightly, and suddenly said: "Thank you for your trust, general, I will definitely defend the city with all my heart and live up to the general's entrustment!"

Seeing Zhou Cang's interest, Guan Yu's face showed a little joy, and he wrote a letter himself, agreeing on the time, place and number of people to invite the battle.

When the two armies are at war, in order to end the war as quickly as possible, they often use invitation to fight and find a place to settle the battle. However, in this case, there will often be two sides with equal strength, dispatching tens of thousands of troops, and the daily consumption of food and grass There are countless supplies, and the princes cannot afford them.

But without enough strength, the weak will often rely on the city walls to fight against the strong, and the art of war says ten times to surround them. It is a theory of numbers.

The banners were flying, and the soldiers were crowded together. The two sides dispatched 5000 people at the same time to fight. In this battle, the sky was dark and the sun and the moon were dark.

On the battlefield, Guan Yu even personally led hundreds of cavalry to kill Cao Jun. Like a sharp sword, he tore a big hole in Cao Jun and went straight to the Chinese army. Looking at Cao Jun, there are few opponents.

The most indispensable thing in Cao Cao's hands is generals, one can't beat you, I can use two or even three, and drag you to death.

Cao Jun's Chinese army banner was in front of him, but Guan Yu had to face the intrusion of three generals. These three men did not seek meritorious service, but just blocked Guan Yu and prevented him from advancing an inch.

In terms of the strength of the soldiers, Cao Jun has always been stronger. On the battlefield, it is a joy for both sides to come and fight, but a closer look shows that the Xuzhou Army is already at a disadvantage and is struggling to support Cao Jun's offensive If it weren't for Guan Yu leading the army to charge and kill, the soldiers in the rear would have given up resistance. Unlike the Xiliang army, once the army of the Central Plains princes appears to be defeated, the soldiers must want to flee immediately instead of desperately. There is no need to worry about no firewood in the green hills. The green hills of the soldiers are their strong bodies. As long as the people are still there, there is no need to worry about no army. This is also because the princes of the Central Plains treat the soldiers very poorly. , can only start from the treatment of soldiers.

Seeing this, Guan Yu was anxious. The two sides are about to occupy, which is a battle between gentlemen. Cao Cao will definitely not cheat. What's more, Guan Yu has [-] troops guarding his rear. How can he be afraid of Cao Cao.

Standing up bravely, Qinglong Yanyue in Guan Yu's hand slashed three times in a row. The light of the horse's sword flashed, and the weapon in the hand of a general broke off at the sound, and he himself was cut off from the horse.

Seeing the death of his companion, the other two generals looked at Guan Yu with a hint of fear in their eyes. The weapon in Guan Yu's hand was able to cut off the weapon in the general's hand just now. What kind of magic weapon is needed to do this? The general asked himself Weapons cannot withstand such an attack.

With a little fear in his heart, he gave Guan Yu the opportunity to continue charging, and resolutely led the cavalry to attack Cao Jun's central army. The banner was close at hand, and excitement flashed in Guan Yu's eyes. Even if they win.

"Son Guan Yu, don't be so crazy. See you, grandpa Xu, come to meet you!" It was Xu Zhu, holding a long knife, who came to kill Guan Yu. The weapon, the fierce general's weapon was changed again, which also made Xu Zhu's confidence skyrocket.

Guan Yu's eyes tightened, and he swung the long knife in his hand towards Xu Zhu. It seemed to be light and light, but it actually contained a lot of power.

Xu Zhu didn't expect Guan Yu to do such a move, and in a hurry, he raised his knife to meet him. When he looked closely, there was a soybean-sized gap on the blade. When he looked at the precious knife in Guan Yu's hand, the burning eyes could be imagined.

With a cold snort, Guan Yu gained power and was relentless, and continued to attack Xu Zhu, one move more fiercely than the other, forcing Xu Zhu to retreat steadily. Cao Jun's central army banner was also successfully captured under the charge of the cavalry.

The victory was decided, Guan Yu withdrew his troops satisfied and returned!

Seeing that one's own army and Cao's army came back in a big victory, the defenders of Pengcheng all rushed to tell each other. Even the people in the city were happy when they heard the news. Cao Cao's style at the beginning made the people fearful. The most important thing is to live a stable life. Seeing Cao Cao coming, how can there be no reason to be afraid in his heart? Liu Bei also grasped this point and asked his men and horses to publicize Cao Jun's brutal behavior back then. Cao Cao's image in the hearts of Xuzhou people is naturally It couldn't be worse. Although Cao's army attacked Xuzhou this time, they did not act too aggressively, but once bitten by a snake for ten years, they were afraid of well ropes and lived under Cao Cao's rule.

Seeing Guan Yu returning victorious, Zhou Cang's face was slightly ugly. What he said before was not right, and he wondered what Guan Yu would think of him.

Cao Cao didn't have the look of a defeated person at all, but instead comforted Xu Zhu, "The treasured sword in General Xu's hand was destroyed again, and the person in charge will make it again in the future. I heard that the weapons in Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's hands came from the Chang'an craftsman workshop. Jia Rong and I If it’s old, maybe you can get one or two.”

The generals heard the words, their eyes were shining brightly, there is no general who does not love magic soldiers, no matter how good Guan Yu's martial arts skills are, without the Qinglong Yanyue Saber in his hand, his martial arts skills will be greatly reduced, and once Guan Yu is blocked, the remaining soldiers of the Xuzhou army are nothing to worry about In today's battle, the soldiers in the army can vividly remember that they won the victory entirely by virtue of Guan Yu's bravery.

The failure of the first battle between the two armies did not seem to have the slightest impact on Cao Cao. His face still maintained a wise color, his eyes were flowing and eye-catching, and Cao Cao at this moment was undoubtedly the most attractive, serious but not overbearing. Taking failure seriously is the temperament that a coach on the battlefield should have.

After everyone left, Xi Zhicai said: "My lord, Guan Yu has always been a strategist and a calm man, will he be fooled?"

"Hehe, there is no reason not to be arrogant when the army wins. Besides, Liu Bei's army and our army have a great enmity. Guan Yu will definitely do his best to attack our army when he sees that things can be done." Cao Cao laughed.

Seeing that Cao Cao's analysis made sense, all the counselors in the tent came up with suggestions one after another. They began to plan against Cao Cao's plan, which was different from Yuan Shao in Jizhou. Under Cao Cao's command, as long as you have a plan, Cao Cao will give it to you. The opportunity to perform is also the reason why Cao Jun has so many talents.
