The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 260 Burning the Black Nest

Ma Chao and Gao Shun were ordered to start from Changshe County, enter the Qingzhou area, and carried out a surprise attack on Linzi. In the Linzi War, they defeated the local defenders and occupied the entire Qingzhou area. To the purpose of the Legion...

At the same time, the two armies with insufficient troops, of course, did not deal a fatal blow to Yuan Shao's Qingzhou army. , it is already very difficult.

At this time, in the outskirts of Xuchang City.

Since Chen Dao's cavalry team used the force to attack the enemy, Gongsun Kang's Liaodong Army and Huchuquan Shanyu's Yuan's cavalry retreated to their fiefs after they wiped out the enemy troops in the area around Xuchang.

The garrisons of the allied forces of the princes around Xuchang were pulled out one by one. Brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang had no choice but to abandon Xuchang City. During the retreat, they were mercilessly attacked by the Zhangxiu Army, and they retreated all the way to Yecheng.

However, Yuan Shao's scolding not only sent the two of them out of Guandu city, but also aggravated Yuan Shao's condition. Lan and other famous generals also went to help the battle outside Guandu City. This time, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang planned to defeat the Chu army at the same place again, because this time they gathered all the elite 70 troops of the Yuan family here.

They started to feel complacent, and this time, they chose to hoard food and grass in Wuchao.

At this time, Chen Dao did not choose to go straight to Guandu to fight Yuan Jun, but chose to surprise Yuan Jun's grain and grass farming, Wuchao.

Wuchao Camp

On the road in Wuchao Dazhai, there was a convoy of carriages that Yuan Jun had just transported from Hebei.

Yuan's soldiers lit a fire by the side of the road, roasted the leg of lamb, ate dry food and drank water.

A sergeant of the Yuan family was stunned when he put the water bag into his mouth, looking at the end of the avenue, as if he was thankful that he could take a rest now, or felt helpless because he missed his girl from afar.

A sergeant just holding a pile of dry firewood said, "Hey! Look, what's over there?"

All the sergeants of the Yuan family looked towards the voice of the soldier.

At the far end of the avenue, there was a huge cloud of dust and smoke, which seemed to have made the entire dark sky red, and their actions were relatively fast.

The soldier sitting beside the fire stood up and said, "It seems to be the cavalry of the brigade!"

The soldier who was too lazy to do it said in a group: "Chen Dao? Or Wen Chou? Maybe it's General Han Qiong!"

And the soldier sitting in the middle said: "This kind of lineup, this kind of speed can only be possessed by the elite cavalry of General Yuan Shao's headquarters!"

The war horses in the distance began to roll in like a torrent, and the thunderous sound of horseshoes came from the opposite side, and the sound became stronger and stronger.

A school lieutenant in the Wuchao garrison yelled: "Everyone get up, line up, and prepare to salute the general!"

The soldiers of the Yuan family stood up unhappily, lazily went to fetch the weapons placed outside the tent, and then began to line up.

In the distance, like a red cloud, the sound of horseshoes in the legion became louder and louder.

Amidst the command of the captain of the Wuchao garrison, the soldiers of the Yuan family lined up and stood up straight.

Seeing the lax discipline of the army, the lieutenant yelled at a soldier who was looking around: "Where are you looking—"

A soldier of the Yuan family in the middle of the team said: "Captain...it seems to be...the Chu army!"

The captain scolded unremittingly: "Fuck your mother! The Chu army has just been repelled by us, but there are 50 elite soldiers waiting for the Chu army in front of us. How could they touch us? I think it must be the general himself. Escort the food and grass!"

After the captain said a lot, he looked over and was suddenly dumbfounded.

What he saw was the impressive Chu army banner, waving in front of him, and behind him was the endless army.

A powerful cavalry lineup came in shock.

Under the banner of the army, Director Chen waved a big knife and shouted: "Come on, kill me!"

Amidst the impact of thousands of horses galloping together, there was a sound like landslides and ground cracks. Amidst the huge sound, the little leader of the Yuan family exclaimed. The soldiers of the Yuan family were about to draw their swords, but the resistance was pale.

The Han Dynasty cavalry rushed over the convoy and the soldiers like a rushing river, wrapping them up.

All around are restless horse legs.

The cold light of the blade.

The leader of the army, Chen Kaige, came galloping on horseback, and pointed at the convoy of captives with a big knife in his hand: "Leave them to the rear guard, and the whole army will continue to march north! Seize the granary!"

Then countless cavalry began to rush to the Dazhai behind these convoys. Where they waved their weapons, there was blood flying. It was already night time, and most of Wuchao's defenders were asleep. At that time, countless feathered arrows came galloping.

Facing the soldiers of the Yuan family who had just risen dimly, the Chu army corps mercilessly chopped off their sabers, and then one by one Molotov cocktails were thrown on the grain, and sporadic sparks began to emerge, and then One after another, flames rose into the sky, followed by a sea of ​​flames, swallowing all life like raging waves...

After an attack, Chen Dao's army easily occupied the entire Wuchao barracks. After they occupied the entire Wuchao barracks, they set up camp on the spot and prepared for a new attack.

Chen went to the big camp in Xin'an.

In Chen Dao's big tent in Dazhai, Chen Dao was thinking in front of the picture by himself.

The deputy general standing next to him stood in front of Chen Dao and reported the military situation to Chen Dao: "...So far, brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang don't know that our army has occupied the Wuchao area. , They have already sent Jiang Qi's troops waiting at the Yellow River Ferry, and are now stationed at the Yellow River Ferry, waiting for the general's order. In addition, General Zhang Xiu has cut off the connection between Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang's camp and Chen Dao Wenchou's camp. General Shun has occupied Linzi, completely occupied the Qingzhou area, and completely eliminated the opponent's attempt to rely on the enemy in Qingzhou to contain our army. The forward of our army has already detoured to the right wing of Guandu. Once it reaches the designated position, we will encircle Guandu It's all done."

Chen Dao kept nodding his head when he heard the battle report, and after he finished listening to the report, he asked, "Are the two pontoon bridges under control?"

Lieutenant general: "Yes, it's all in the hands of the military commander, General Chen."

Chen Dao said sharply: "Burn it, burn it all!"

The deputy general was a little puzzled and puzzled, and at the same time reminded with an unknown feeling of unease: "General, if it is burned, our army will not be able to return to the north bank, and we will not be able to exit the entire area safely!"

Chen Dao stood up, pressed the sword in his waist and asked, "Who told you that we have to return to the north bank?"

The deputy general reminded again: "In case we can't eat Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang's army..."

Chen Dao waved his hand, and said reproachfully: "There is no chance, burn it right away! You tell General Chen, since I, Chen Dao, have come, I have no plan to go back. If I burn the bridge, I just want to burn the boat!"

The pontoon bridge at the Yellow River Ferry.

Chen Kaige ordered to the sergeant: "Burn it for me, burn it for me."

Behind the cavalry regiment of the large troop, there seemed to be a burning fire on the pontoon bridge, but in a blink of an eye, the fire turned into a blazing fire, burning the entire pontoon bridge to ashes.

However, the cavalry who crossed the pontoon bridge all grabbed dry food and gnawed as they walked.

Chen Kaige rode his horse to catch up from behind, and saw groups of soldiers grabbing dry food with their hands and gnawing on it.

As soon as the horse galloped over, Chen Kaige didn't realize that there was a soldier on the side of the road eating hot rice, which was dry food.Chen Dao reined in his horse and asked loudly, "Why don't you start cooking?"

A military lieutenant stood up straight and the school lieutenant stood up and replied loudly: "To General Chen, the brothers said that a decisive battle is about to take place, so save your appetite and wait until you finish fighting the Yuan family's army and eat their roasted whole lamb!"

The sergeants behind him laughed happily together.

Immediately, Chen Dao also laughed, and replied loudly: "That's a good idea, don't forget, leave me a leg of lamb!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Kaige rode away.

The sergeant also smiled and said: "I will never forget!" Then, all the cavalry laughed again.

The lieutenant shouted: "Mount all soldiers, catch up with the main force before dawn, and prepare for battle!"

In the side hall of the Great General's Mansion in Yecheng.

The courier who reported the letter from the front hastily took out a long letter and a map from his bosom, and presented it to General Yuan Shao. At this time, Yuan Shao, with the support of his family, opened the letter with one hand and a cane in the other. ,at the same time

Yuan Shao also ordered someone to open the map.

In the side hall, Yuan Shao was concentrating on reading the letter, while the messenger next to him prostrated himself in front of Yuan Shao.

After Yuan Shao finished reading the letter, he asked suspiciously: "Is this possible? The goal of Chen Dao's army is to attack our Wuchao, and the goal is to destroy the entire Guandu guards?"

The messenger lowered his head again, and then replied with a sigh of relief: "It's absolutely true, I risked my life to deliver the letter to the general!"

Yuan Shao ordered: "Bring the picture!"

Immediately someone presented the map in front of him.

Yuan Shao looked at it for a long time: "I just can't understand it. Chen Dao's army said it was attacking my Shandong, but in the battle, there was only Ma Chaojun's Xiliang army. They suddenly disappeared here. If they want to attack Guandu Why do you need to make such a big circle? Why don’t you go north directly from the Xuchang area?”

The messenger replied with a little trepidation: "The secret we got from our careful work is that Chen Dao's army made a deep and deep interspersed detour to cut off the military support in Guandu, forming a siege."

Yuan Shao was startled, and said to himself, "Encirclement?"

Yuan Shao looked at the picture again, his face turned pale, and he shouted, "Bring a pen!"

Immediately someone handed the ink brush.

At this moment, the success or failure of Wanli Jiangshan depends on Yuan Shao's moment.
