The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 453 The Battle of Guandu III

It is said that Liu Biao of Jingzhou became hesitant after encountering Lu Bu's head-on statistics.But Sun Quan in Jiangdong resisted all opinions, and planned to send troops to Xuzhou again to help Cao Cao contain Huo Yu from the side.

According to Sun Quan's idea, he planned to raise 4 troops, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin would lead [-] troops as the vanguard, and he would command the remaining [-] troops to follow up.

As the pioneers, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin did not disappoint Sun Quan. The two made great strides along the way and conquered ten counties.It's just that what Sun Quan never expected was that as soon as he left, the Shanyue people began to rebel.

In order to stabilize the rear, a group of generals suggested that Zhou Yu, who had been emptied, should be used to counter the rebellion, but Sun Quan refused.It was very difficult for Zhou Yu to be emptied, and he would not feel at ease to return his military power at this time.

As a last resort, Sun Quan had no choice but to lead his troops back and ordered Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to stand by.The expedition ended in such an anticlimactic manner, but Sun Quan made a big taboo for military strategists. The remaining Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and the [-] soldiers were quickly cut off by Tai Shici who was in a hurry to return.

In Guandu, Huo Yu, who had just arrived, chose a place with higher terrain, staring at Cao Jun's camp a few miles away, carefully observing Cao Jun's layout.

Before each battle, it has become Huo Yu's habit to observe the terrain in person.Attitude determines everything, and details determine success or failure. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win all battles.

Behind Huo Yu, Xi Zhicai and Zhao Yun stood one on the left and one on the right, and their eyes were also focused on Cao Jun's camp. Dian Wei, who was a little further away, was setting up defenses.At this moment, Xi Zhicai and Zhao Yun's thoughts were different from Huo Yu's.

Xi Zhicai was observing the arrangement of Cao's army to infer their strength and other combat-related issues.The focus of Zhao Yun's attention was the gate of Cao Jun's camp that was closest to him and the others.

After all, Huo Yu is too close to Cao Jun's camp now, if Cao Jun finds out and sends troops to encircle and suppress, there is still a certain risk factor.

"Zilong don't have to worry, even if Cao Jun sends troops to encircle and suppress him, what do we have to fear?" Huo Yu's words were quite domineering, Zhao Yun nodded and didn't say much, but his eyes never left the gate of Cao Jun's camp.

"My lord, this battalion may not have been set up by Cao Cao, but this man is not an idler." After careful observation, Xi Zhi came to his own conclusion.

Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Huo Yu nodded, obviously Cao Cao hadn't arrived at Guandu yet, maybe this was his chance.

"I think back then, during the Suanzao Alliance, I and Brother Meng De worked together to understand, but now... the world has changed, it's really a pity."

"Senior brother, in the past, we were friends in robes, but today we are indeed enemies, so don't worry about it. Presumably Cao Cao also hopes to compete with senior brother in an upright manner." Zhao Yun persuaded.

In fact, Huo Yu understands all these principles, but he just sighed with emotion!
"I've seen everything I need to see, let's go back to the camp! Before Cao Cao's army arrives, maybe we can still do something."

After finishing speaking, Huo Yu turned and walked towards the horse. Xi Zhicai and Zhao Yun smiled at each other and followed closely.

Back at the camp, Huo Yu summoned all his subordinates to discuss the military situation.First of all, Xi Zhicai explained the observed situation in detail, and marked it on the completed sand table.

"According to inferences, the number of soldiers in Cao Jun's camp is only [-], which is far inferior to our army. However, the morale is high, and Guandu's defenses are complete. It may be difficult to break through for a while."

While Huo Yu was discussing the military situation with everyone under his command, Cao Ren was also conducting military discussions in the big tent.In fact, Cao Ren had already noticed Huo Yu's appearance, but he didn't dare to act rashly due to the disparity in military strength.

In the end, the results of Cao Ren's and other military discussions were surprisingly consistent with Huo Yu's. After all, this was a life-and-death battle. Without sufficient confidence, no one wanted to start the battle first. The battle will be more difficult to fight.

The two sides watched each other like this, and even when the scouts met, they hardly fought each other.The two sides remained in a tacit stalemate until two days later when the news from Jingzhou and Jiangdong came, Huo Yu decided to warm up.

In the sound of the assembled horns, Huo Yu personally led a group of generals and counselors, and led [-] troops to set up a formation outside Cao Jun's camp. However, what Huo Yu did not expect was that Cao Ren did not show any weakness and led the army challenge.

General?Cao Ren is not a fool, it is clear how much he has gained.Huo Yu on the other side didn't say anything, then Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Ma Chao and others didn't have a good problem.

"Champion Hou, I have recently practiced a formation, do you dare to try it?" Huo Yu didn't say anything, but Cao Ren took the lead in provoking him before the formation.

Without Huo Yu's answer, Cao Ren rode his horse back to the formation, only to see Cao Jun's formation changing rapidly.After a while, Cao Jun neatly turned into eight small formations, and each small formation was interlocking.

At this time, Cao Ren had already been guarded by the Chinese army in the middle.Huo Yu was rapidly searching for relevant memories in his mind.Seeing that there was no movement in Youzhou, Cao Jun began to provoke.

"A courageous back can dare to enter the formation! A courageless back can dare to enter the formation!"

"My lord, Phoebe is unusual this time!" Worried that Huo Yu would be stimulated, Xi Zhicai immediately reminded him.

"Hehe, I have no worries about ambition, I will not be fooled." In fact, Huo Yu has already made a conclusion in his heart.

Hearing Huo Yu's words, Xi Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, observed carefully before saying: "This is the eight-door golden lock array."

"Eight gates: Xiu, Sheng, Huo, Du, Jing, Death, Surprise, and Open. If you enter through the Shengmen, Jingmen, and Kaimen, you will be auspicious; if you enter through the Hurt, Jingmen, and Shumen, you will be injured; If you enter through the Du gate and the gate of death, you will perish. Although the eight gates are arranged neatly today, they are only in the middle. If you enter from the upper life gate at the southeast corner and go out towards the west Jing gate, the formation will be chaotic."

After listening to Xi Zhicai's analysis, everyone came to their senses, and after observing carefully, they took another high look at Xi Zhicai in their hearts.

"Hahaha, the military master has explained the way to break the formation, how dare Zilong break into the formation?" Huo Yu laughed loudly, and then subconsciously ordered Zhao Yun.

Looking at the murderous eight-door fine lock formation in front of him, Zhao Yun did not hesitate, and left as promised.Compared with the sound of Cao Jun's war drums, the Youzhou Army often listened to the sound of horns.

After a low sound of the horn, Zhao Yun led the five hundred white horses and went towards the eight-door fine lock formation.

While walking, Zhao Yun held up the gentian silver gun and said: "Where righteousness comes, life and death follow! The sky can learn from it, and the white horse is the proof, sons and daughters follow me to kill!"

"Where righteousness comes, life and death follow! The sky can learn from it, and the white horse is the proof, kill! Kill! Kill!" The five hundred white horse righteousness completely calmed Cao Jun who was in front of him.

Everyone in the world says that the Youzhou cavalry is invincible in the world, and seeing them today really deserves their reputation!
Horseshoes clattered across thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the elite Bai Ma Yicong quickly adjusted his formation with Zhao Yun as an arrow behind him.

Front arrow formation, this is the best formation for the cavalry to charge into the formation. Baima Yicong is not in vain. They sat down on their horses and brought up waves of smoke and dust, roaring towards Cao Jun.
