The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 460 Battle of Guandu Ten

Facing Huo Yu's strategy of exhausting troops, Cao Cao had nothing to do.It's not that Cao Cao is incompetent, but the main reason is that the Youzhou army is too strong, and the huge disparity in military strength makes Cao Cao have no choice but to stand still.

But what excited Cao Cao was that Xu Huang did not disappoint him after all.At noon two days later, Xu Huang came to Cao Cao's big tent in a hurry, and reported the situation he had found out.

"My lord, it has been found out that the food and grass of the Youzhou army are indeed hoarded in Wuchao. On the surface, the entire Wuchao is loosely defended, but in fact there is an elite army of soldiers and horses inside, the number is not too many or more than [-]."

Having said that, Xu Huang took the water bag from Cao Hong, took a few gulps, then wiped his mouth and continued.

"The Youzhou army escorts food and grass from Wuchao every other day. The Wuchao guard Xia Houlan is Zhao Yunfa's child, and he followed Huo Yu very early. His martial arts are mediocre, and there is no outstanding one in the Youzhou army. Performance!"

After hearing Xu Huang's complete description, Cao Cao did not express his opinion in time.His eyes were fixed on Wuchao on the map, his left hand had a beard, and he paced and shook his head from time to time.

"My lord, don't miss this opportunity. There are not many defenders in Wuchao. If you send an elite surprise attack, you can break them!" Cao Hong watched Cao Cao pacing back and forth, persuading him anxiously.

Hearing what Cao Hong said, Cao Cao paused and forgot to glance at Cao Hong.

"My lord, don't you think this is Huo Yu's scheme?" Compared to Cao Hong, Cheng Yu was quite accurate in determining Cao Cao's mentality.

"What do Zhongde think?"

"The subordinates think this is an opportunity!"

"Oh?"

"If you fight, you will die, if you don't fight, you will die! If you don't fight with all your strength, you may be able to turn defeat into victory!" Cheng Yu said firmly, bowing to Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was completely in a dead end just now.According to the current situation, it is only a matter of time before being defeated by the Youzhou army.

As Cheng Yu said, "If you fight, you will die, if you don't fight, you will die!", anyway, it is death, and it is better to die standing than kneeling.Untied the knot, Cao Cao no longer hesitated, and immediately summoned all the generals to decide to fight with all their strength.Whether to lose or win is the second. If you have a chance but don't grasp it, that's not what Cao Cao did.

After everyone arrived, Cao Cao confided all the thoughts in his heart.When everyone heard this, the generals were all gearing up, they had been aggrieved in these few battles, and now they finally had a chance to express their anger.

Cao Cao's move has only one purpose, and that is to unify the thinking of the top and bottom.Only when the whole army has a unified mind and fights to the last ditch can there be a chance of victory.

"My lord, give the order!" Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun said at the same time.

"Everyone will obey!"

"Cao Ren, lead 1 horses to stay in the camp!"

"No!" Regarding Cao Cao's arrangement, Cao Ren had nothing to complain about. After all, he was missing an arm, and it wouldn't be of much help if he went there. It's better to guard the camp.

"Xu Huang led five thousand elite soldiers as the vanguard, and the rest of the generals followed me to attack Wuchao!"

The general order was issued, and in order not to let the Youzhou army notice, Cao Jun made sufficient arrangements in the camp, and then began to recharge his energy.Such actions can only escape the detection of Youzhou scouts at night.

In the Youzhou army camp, Huo Yu looked at the information that Shi A had just sent with a smirk on his face.

"The fish has taken the bait! Brother Shi A, immediately send a message to Military Master Xi to get him ready."

"No!" Shi A promised to go, without the slightest procrastination.

Such an important general order, of course, must be completed by him himself.It's not that Shi A doesn't trust his subordinates, but that this matter is related to the overall situation of the world, so he has to be cautious.

"Yuan Jian, call all the generals to discuss!" After Shi A left, Huo Yu shouted outside the big tent.

Liao Hua left as promised, and in less than half a stick of incense, all the generals of Youzhou appeared in front of Huo Yu.

Wuchao is located behind Guandu, so it stands to reason that this place is far away from the Guandu battlefield.However, the captain who was ordered to escort the sloppy captain today had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Although there are more than a thousand soldiers under his command, escorting a team of food and grass, he walked at the forefront of the team and kept looking around.

Li Ergou, the leading school lieutenant, if it wasn't for Youzhou's New Deal, his family would have gone to see King Hades long ago.In order to make his younger brother and sister live better, Li Ergou resolutely joined the Youzhou Army.

Relying on his military exploits, Li Ergou was promoted step by step to the position of captain, and he can be regarded as a veteran.According to the military regulations of the Youzhou Army, Li Ergou can return home after this battle is over.

Today, however, Li Ergou has always had an ominous premonition.The mountains in front of me are not very high, but they are connected to each other, and there is no end in sight at a glance.This road has gone back and forth quite a bit, and Li Ergou is always very careful every time he travels here.

Under the mountains, the grain and grass escort team was moving slowly. On the bare mountain, it was quiet, and there was no abnormal movement at all, which made the leader Li Ergou doubtful.

Even if you passed by here in the past, you could occasionally see groups of flying birds.But today it was surprisingly quiet, and after walking for a while, Li Ergou raised his arms violently and issued the general order.Turning his head to look at the sides, his brows gradually wrinkled.

"The whole army is on alert! Move forward slowly!" Li Ergou shouted loudly as he lowered his arms.

When the general order was issued, a thousand well-trained Youzhou soldiers clenched their weapons tighter, and their eyes became a little more vigilant.

Although the general order was issued, Li Ergou still didn't move. After observing quietly for a while, he put his legs under the horse's belly and continued to move forward.

If you look at it from a high altitude, there are many figures hiding behind the boulders in the mountains, but there is no general order, and no one dares to act rashly.

Staring at the grain transportation team that was slowly moving down the mountain, a general of Cao Jun was holding a big knife, with green light in his eyes.

Looking at the leader Li Ergou, this person thought in his heart: "You are so vigilant!"

Seeing the food transport team slowly approaching the ambush circle, General Cao squeezed the hand holding the sword vigorously.Near him, countless soldiers of the Cao army hid behind boulders, all with indifferent expressions, watching the prey slowly entering the whole set.

The Cao Jun general carrying the sword is none other than Cao Cao's general Xu Huang.Since he joined Cao Cao, Xu Huang hadn't done any great service yet. Xu Huang thought it was his luck to save Cao Ren that day. Although he lost to Guan Yu, Cao Cao didn't blame him too much!As the vanguard of attacking Wuchao this time, it is an opportunity for him to make meritorious service.

In order to be able to sneak into Wuchao, Xu Huang also racked his brains before he came up with a way to ambush the food delivery team.In the dark, only by relying on the same clothes can they approach the grain storage place of the Youzhou army.But soon, Xu Huang will know how naive his idea is.

Seeing the team escorting food and grass move slowly, Xu Huang didn't feel the slightest nervousness, but was looking forward to the delivery team entering the ambush circle soon.In order to avoid the scouts of the Youzhou Army, the Cao army led by Xu Huang did not have a large number of people, only more than [-] people.

But these more than [-] people are all veterans of Cao Jun's soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time. Everyone's fighting experience is very seasoned, and they can be said to be the best of the best.
