The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 541
After hearing Yuan Shang's words, Guo Jia couldn't help laughing up to the sky.He shook his head, and said with sarcasm and emotion: "Mr. Yuan is really considerate to Mr. Guo. According to your status, there are almost only a handful of people who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you in today's world. Let me show you today." With today's status, he is willing to come to Xuzhou in person for the sake of Guo, just for the sake of face, if Guo doesn't treat you well here, I'm afraid that he really failed your kind intention of coming here!"

After hearing Guo Jia's sarcasm, Yuan Shang was not angry, he just sighed, shook his head and said: "Guo Jia, surrender, the Cao family is over, the era of separatist regimes has passed, and the unification of the north is the general trend, with you alone, If you want to go against God's will, what can you do?"

Guo Jia shook his head when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Really? I'm afraid it may not be so? Back then, when your father Yuan Shao crossed the river to attack Xuchang with shocking troops, everyone in the world thought he would win, but he didn't end up in Guandu. And return? Don’t you understand even today that soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no permanent shape. Nothing in this world is absolute, and Guo believes that... man can conquer the sky!"

Yuan Shang frowned when he heard this, and said, "So, are you really planning to carry me to the end?"

Guo Jia put away his playful face, and replied word by word: "If you don't die to the end, there is no need for Guo to come here today!"

Yuan Shang nodded and said: "Very well, since this is the case, then we have nothing to say... You can do it yourself."

Guo Jia casually cupped his hands at Yuan Shang and said, "You too!"

Then, the two men were seen driving horses and carts back to their respective camps.

As soon as Fang returned to the camp of several rooms, Yuan Shang said to Zhang Xi, who he had specially transferred here: "General Jun Yi, I entrust you with the full authority for this battle."

Zhang He straightened his face, and said loudly: "My lord, don't worry, this battle will be left to the last general!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yun turned around and said to the messenger general beside him, "The whole army is ready to meet the enemy!"

In the howling wind, Yuan Jun's beating drums began to "boom dong dong dong", and the whole army began to change their formation. The sound of slogans and footsteps was deafening, and every blow shocked the world. Boom.

Zhang He raised his long spear, pointed at the flag and said, "Send the order, order the Wuji cavalry battalion to attack first!"

Following the issuance of the flag order, amidst the rumbling drums, Yuan Jun's cavalry, led by the most elite Wuji Cavalry Battalion, formed a long line of cavalry and urged their horses in unison, like a torrent of steel that could crush everything , Flying towards Cao Jun with no direction forward.

For Cao Jun, Zhang Liao was in charge of commanding the soldiers and horses. Seeing Yuan Jun's most proud cavalry attacking, Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a flash of light like lightning, and said: "Crossbowmen step forward, prepare to attack!" Shoot the arrow!"

Under Zhang Liao's command, Cao Jun's crossbowmen crossed the shield soldiers and came to the front of the formation.
Seeing Yuan Jun's cavalry getting closer and closer, the deafening sound of horse hooves could almost shatter eardrums, Zhang Liao silently calculated the pace of Yuan Jun's cavalry, then suddenly shouted loudly and roared upwards.

"Fire arrows!"

With a roar, the hands of the standard bearers of various ministries waved down indirectly, and the bows and crossbows ready to go were like locusts all over the sky, swaying and shooting at Yuan Jun's cavalry overwhelmingly, like a sudden storm, greeting Yuan Jun's vanguard cavalry go.

After a burst of arrows, Yuan Jun's vanguard Tuqi suddenly fell down a large area, and the people in the field turned their backs on their backs, and the roar shook the world.

However, these losses are obviously in Zhang Yun's calculations. Today, with the disappearance of tiger and leopard cavalry, Yuan Jun's cavalry quality can now be called the best in the world. Most of the cavalry did not stop because of the rain of arrows. Instead, their speed It was getting faster and faster. Every cavalryman was like a sharp sword, rushing away from the rain of arrows and piercing into Cao Jun's camp with lightning speed. They didn't even get ready for the second wave of arrows. Cao Jun stayed.

Of course, it is impossible for Cao Jun's defensive camp to rely solely on bows and crossbows. Countless iron shields and long spears are already ready to go, and the field is suddenly blood-red. The fronts intersect and spread on this crisp land,

With the sound of swords entering the body, the blood splashed on the grassland, tempering the grassland into a huge slaughterhouse, as if it was a purgatory on earth.

The small number of cavalry sacrifices made Cao Jun's crossbowmen no longer have an absolute role in dealing with Yuan Jun's charge. At this time, Zhang Yun began to order the infantry and spearmen to charge forward.

"The infantry of the three armies, enter the formation in a cone shape, with two wings in the shape of a wild goose, attack the enemy's center formation! Charge!"

"The shield soldiers cover the crossbowmen, attack and kill the left and right sides scatteredly, within a hundred steps, no arrows are allowed to shoot!"

After a series of military orders were issued, Yuan Jun's various military academies, under the command of Zhang Xi, began to launch a continuous and effective attack on Cao Jun, and began to crush and massacre Cao Jun with absolute powerful combat power.

As for Cao's army, although Zhang Liao's ability to command soldiers and horses in combat is not inferior to that of Zhang Yun, the gap in combat power cannot be made up by him personally. With more investment, the gap between Yuan and Cao began to show up little by little.
exposed.

The more Cao Jun fought, the more obvious his decline became, and the more Yuan Jun fought, his advantage became clearer.

"Run away! Coach Cao Jun ran away!"

I don't know who shouted beside Yuan Shang, attracting Yuan Shang's attention to the enemy's central army.

Yuan Shang squinted his eyes, but saw that the big flag with the word "Guo" on it began to retreat backwards, and faintly, Yuan Shang saw that the chariot on which Guo Jia was riding also began to move towards the rear.

As soon as the commander moved, the three armies naturally collapsed. The entire formation of Cao Jun's central army was in chaos due to Guo Jia's retreat. All collapsed, all the soldiers were scattered like a tide, and
It was a sudden withdrawal.

Seeing this, Yuan Shang couldn't help frowning: "Run away?"

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Lu Lingqi pat his horse forward, came to Yuan Shang's side, patted him on the shoulder heavily, and said: "What the hell, Cao Jun's commander fled, and the enemy's formation collapsed. If you don't take the opportunity to attack at this time, let's wait and see." When? Judging from this posture, even if Pengcheng is captured in one fell swoop, it is still unknown!"

"The problem is..." Yuan Shang frowned and said, "Although Cao Jun is in decline, he has not yet reached the point of being completely defeated. Why did Guo Jia run away suddenly? He doesn't know that the commander is the courage of the three armies, and he will not be able to reach the end until the end." At a critical moment, can’t we retreat lightly?”

Lu Lingqi shook her head angrily, and said: "You are the only one who thinks too much! No matter how resourceful Guo Jia is, he is still a literati. It is okay to make suggestions and be the mastermind. As the commander of a party, he is still young. I am afraid he is not as good as And you……"

Yuan Shang glanced at Lu Lingqi with dissatisfaction: "Is anyone saying that about your husband?"

"Oh, anyway, hurry up and march. If you don't march, the opportunity will be missed. You and Zhang He are here to hold the line! I will go to the front to command the ministries, attack with all my strength, take advantage of the momentum to pursue, kill Zhang Liao, and capture Pengcheng!"

After all, regardless of Yuan Shang's order, Lu Lingqi led the pro-army, like a tiger out of the cage, and crazily pressed towards Cao Jun.

Seeing his own offensive getting worse, while the enemy retreated into the ebb tide, like a flood, Yuan Shang felt deep doubts in his heart.

This guy, Guo Jia, must be thinking of something again, right?

*********************
Indeed, as Lu Lingqi expected, Yuan Jun and Cao Jun fought a battle outside Pengcheng. Guo Jia, as the chief general, did not take it as his responsibility to retreat. Yuan Jun took advantage of the momentum to attack and kill Cao Jun. In Pengcheng, the governing place, Cao Jun was defeated for thousands of miles. Facing Yuan Jun's pursuit, he had no power to fight back. He retreated straight to Xiapi City. Suffering such a big defeat, the sudden surrender of Xuzhou government shocked everyone in the world, and Yuan Shang's prestige was even more icing on the cake, rising like the sun.

The battle situation in Xuzhou spread to Yangzhou immediately.

At the crossing of the Xuyang frontier fortress, Sun Quan had already assembled troops and horses, and sent people to keep inquiring about the battle situation in Xuzhou. The news of the Battle of Pengcheng spread to his camp immediately.

After Sun Quan knew about it, he asked his confidant Zhou Yu to discuss without further ado.

"Gongjin, in your opinion, Guo Jia was defeated in Xuzhou, and Yuan Shang captured Pengcheng, his seat of government. What do you think?"

Zhou Yu closed his eyes, thought carefully for a while, and then said slowly: "Wu Hou, although I have predicted that Yuan Shang will win and Guo Jia will lose, but I really didn't expect Guo Jia to lose so quickly! Yuan Shang Seizing the Xuzhou government office, facing Guo Jia in Xiapi, at this time, logically speaking, it is indeed time for us to send troops."

Sun Quan nodded when he heard the words, and said: "I also have the same intention. Gong Jin, the confrontation between the two great heroes of the North is enough to change the fortunes of the world. For me, Soochow, if I don't take the opportunity to get some benefits, it will be very important for future wars." It's really bad! I think, let's send troops to Xuzhou quickly, and take Guangling, Danyang and other places before Yuan Shang completely defeats Guo Jia, and use them as a stepping stone in the Central Plains, which will be beneficial to the future, what do you think?"

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "Marquis Wu, it's still the same sentence. In fact, I still don't quite agree with marching north."

"........."

Sun Quan frowned upon hearing this.

Zhou Yu ignored it, and said bluntly: "Wu Hou, in my opinion, the top priority is to capture Jingzhou and occupy the entire Yangtze River. This is the way for us to win in Soochow. I don’t know how strong it is, but abandoning Jingzhou and taking Xuzhou will not do any good for Soochow!”
