The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 70
"Tao Qian's army can be dealt with by General Zhao's cavalry. Tao Qian has no generals and his combat power is not strong. In addition, he has to guard the city, so I predict that he will not dare to send troops easily, even if he leads troops to fight. About five thousand, the cavalry under General Zhao's command is enough to deal with it." Xi Zhicai said confidently.

"Okay, everything will be done as Zhicai said," Li Yuan ordered, "Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, Chen Deng, you three will lead [-] soldiers and horses to ambush near Jiqiu, and arrange sulfur, hay and other flammable things. After Zhang Chaojun arrived, lure him to the arson site and then set fire to it."

"The last general takes orders!" Guan Hai, Zhou Cang and Chen Deng took orders to go. The reason why Chen Deng was asked to go with them was because Guan Hai and Zhou Cang were both careless people, and the arrangement might not be thorough enough, so Chen Deng was asked to go. auxiliary.

"Hua Xiong, Xi Zhicai, I order the two of you to lead [-] troops to ambush on the mountains near Linyi, and when Bao Xin's army arrives, they will cut off their retreat and defeat them." Li Yuan ordered again.

"The last general has orders!" Hua Xiong and Xi Zhicai followed the orders and left.

"Junior Brother, Wen Da, I ordered you to guard the camp. If Tao Qian sent troops out of the city to flank our army, you should lead the cavalry to contain them. You don't need to confront Tao Qian's army head-on, you only need to harass from the side."

"The general will know!" Zhao Yun and Li Tong went down to make arrangements.

After arranging everything, Li Yuan asked Chen Dao to rush back to Xiapi and let Chen Dao lead troops to attack Guangling. At this time, Zhang Chao led troops to rescue Tao Qian. If you are lucky, you can really win Guangling, so that Zhang Chao can't go home.

Finally, Li Yuan led the remaining [-] soldiers and Xu Zhu's [-] Tiger Guard soldiers to Dongwu, waiting for the arrival of Kong Rong's soldiers from Beihai.

After receiving Tao Qian's distress letter, Bao Xin led an army of [-] to Langya overnight.

"Wen Ze, why do you think Li Yuan wanted to attack Xuzhou?" Bao Xin didn't plan to send troops to rescue him, but he agreed after being persuaded by Yu Jin. Yu Jin is his most trusted subordinate, and he would discuss many things with Yu Jin before make a decision.

"My lord, I believe you have seen Li Yuan's power at Hulao Pass that day. Whether it is strategy, military command or martial arts, he is the best in the world. How can a person with such ability be willing to be inferior to others? In my opinion, Li Yuan With the heart to dominate the world, Xuzhou is just the first step." Yu Jin had seen Li Yuan's majesty at Hulao Pass, and admired him very much.

"What Wen Ze said is true, since Li Yuan is so powerful, wouldn't I be asking for trouble when I wait to send troops?" Bao Xin was puzzled.

"It's really helpless for me to send troops. Jibei is close to Langya. After Li Yuan captures Xuzhou, he will definitely continue to go north. By then, not only Jibei, but also Beihai will fall into his hands. Rather than letting him defeat them one by one, it is better to take this opportunity to fight with him." Tao Qian united against Li Yuan's army, I believe Tao Qian should not only ask our army for help, but also invite other princes to join forces."

Yu Jin carefully analyzed that, as a well-known Cao Wei general in "history", his resourcefulness was no worse than ordinary counselors.

Yu Jin is one of the five good generals of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms. He has been good at fighting for a long time. He followed Cao Cao in the southern and northern wars and made countless contributions. Although he is the worst of the five good generals in terms of martial arts, he is good at leading troops to fight.

During the Battle of Guandu, Yu Jin and Le Jin led an army of [-] across the river to capture Huojia County. They burned more than [-] villages in Baoju, beheaded and killed thousands of people, and recruited more than [-] people including He Mao and Wang Mo from Yuan Shao. Cao Cao made great contributions to defeating Yuan Shao.

Yu Jin seldom lost in battle with his troops in his life. The only defeat was at the hands of Guan Yu.

"Although Li Yuan is strong, I didn't expect Tao Qian to be so useless. He was taken down by Li Yuan in less than half a month. Xiaopei has countless counties and towns, and almost controls half of Xuzhou. In my opinion, if there is no foreign aid, I am afraid. It won't take a month to lose even Langya and Guangling." Bao Xin said with some disdain.

"Tao Qian has no powerful generals under his command. Although he has heard about Chen Gui's talent, he relies on his bravery and military skills to fight. Li Yuan has a strong general like a cloud. Let's not say that he can fight against the unparalleled enemy Lu Bu. Huang Zhong under his command, Zhao Yun and Xu Zhu are both powerful generals in this world, neither of them is easy to deal with, no matter how powerful Tao Qian is, he can't beat Li Yuan's soldiers." From Yu Jin's point of view, it's not that Tao Qian is incompetent, but that Li Yuan is too strong.

Bao Xin and Yu Jin talked while walking. Suddenly, Yu Jin stopped, and Bao Xin couldn't help asking: "Wen Ze, why did you stop?"

Yu Jin frowned, "The terrain here is dangerous, there are mountains on both sides, and there is only one narrow road to walk on. If the enemy ambushes soldiers and horses on both sides, our army may be wiped out."

"Wen Ze is too careful, we came to rescue Tao Qian, at this time Li Yuan is leading troops to attack Langya, how could it be possible to ambush soldiers here." Bao Xin was somewhat disapproving.

Yu Jin didn't answer. He looked up at the mountain, and saw that the mountain was densely covered with stones. There was nothing unusual about it, but he always felt that something was wrong, and he felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

"Wen Ze, don't be suspicious anymore, let's continue on the road." Bao Xin ordered to move on.

The army walked another mile, and Yu Jin ordered to stop again. Bao Xin was a little dissatisfied and said, "Wen Ze, what are you doing?"

"It's not right! Look at the arrangement of the stones above. Although it looks irregular, how could there be so many stones on the mountain, especially in this position, it's obvious that someone put them there on purpose!" The more Yu Jin looked, the more something was wrong, Hastily ordered, "The army retreats quickly!"

As soon as the words were finished, there was a sudden sound of thunder from the rocks, and everyone couldn't help looking up. It turned out that a huge rock was rolling down from the mountain along the slope. The rolling sound was so loud that even the ground trembled.

"Quick! Get back!" Bao Xin yelled, and the army retreated immediately. No one wanted to be hit by this boulder.

However, the speed of the people was far inferior to the speed of the boulder falling. After a while, the boulder fell completely, splitting Bao Xin's army and horses into two, and a small number of them were so unlucky that they were directly crushed to death by the boulder. minced meat.

Before everyone had time to react, another boulder fell from the mountain and landed in front of Bao Xin's army, completely cutting off the way of Bao Xin's army. Seven thousand of Bao Xin's 7000 troops were trapped between the two boulders, and it was difficult to escape. In the sky, only three thousand troops managed to escape the catastrophe.

"Hahahaha, Bao Xin, since you're here, don't leave, leave the soldiers and horses behind." Xi Zhicai's figure appeared on the mountain, and as he appeared, countless soldiers appeared on both sides of the mountain, shouting one after another. It is not clear how many people there are.

"Who are you, why are you blocking my way?" Bao Xin shouted towards the top.

"I am Xi Zhicai, the military advisor under General Li of Huben Zhonglang, who was ordered by General Li to come here to ambush." ​​Xi Zhicai glanced down. He wanted to wipe out Bao Xin's entire army, but the general who took the lead was really cautious, so just now Before Bao Xin's army had completely entered the ambush circle, he asked the soldiers to push down the boulder to prevent the enemy from escaping.

Yu Jin came out and said, "My lord and General Li once attacked Dong Zhuo together at Hulao Pass. Why did you ambush our army today? Did General Li misunderstand?"

"Hahahaha, who is speaking, report your name." Xi Zhicai glanced at the speaker, thinking that the person was a general, and he was the one who saw through his ambush just now.

"I am Yu Jin, the general under the command of Bao Xin, the prefect of Jibei, and I write well." Yu Jin reported his name.

"Yu Jin, don't try to argue for Bao Xin. My lord attacked Xuzhou, but Tao Qian was defeated, so I invite you to come and help me. I know these things clearly, don't try to deceive me." Xi Zhicai said calmly .

"You and others are all misunderstandings. I just came to visit Tao Qian. I didn't expect that there was a war in Xuzhou. If I knew, I would not dare to go to Xuzhou."

Yu Jin continued to find reasons by himself, and at the same time kept looking around, hoping to find a way out, but both the front and back roads were blocked, and there was no way out. The only way was to climb up the mountain, but the mountain was extremely high. How can it be so easy to go forward, plus the enemy army is ambushing here, how can it be possible for you to go up the mountain easily.

"It's really funny. If you go to visit Tao Qian, why would you bring an army of [-]? You can say such reasons. It's really ridiculous. Hua Xiong, order to release arrows!" Xi Zhicai stopped talking nonsense and let Hua Xiong Lead the army to shoot arrows!
