The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 102 Subduing Qingzhou soldiers

Shouzhang County.

This is a place of right and wrong. This time Cao Cao personally led troops here, and of course Dongfang Sheng was among them.

Thousands of cavalry and infantry were mixed together, and they did not make too much noise when they moved, only the uniform steps and rumbling hooves, which fully demonstrated the elite of this team.

"Tenglong, how many battles do you think they will have to fight me before they can convince me?" Cao Cao raised his whip and said, "I will teach them that I, Cao Cao, are definitely their lord worthy of their trust!"

"How does my lord plan to deal with them?" Dongfang Sheng asked curiously.

"Surprise attack, deceitful way!" Cao Cao said confidently.

The way of using soldiers is based on deceit and intrigue. Cao Cao has used soldiers all his life based on this. In the official history, Liu Bei is most afraid of Cao Cao, because basically he will be defeated when he encounters Cao Cao.

"Bring the map!" Cao Cao said to the soldiers with him.

The soldiers around him immediately took out a map from the bag they carried with them, and unfolded it. Cao Cao reined in the horse's reins and stopped there.

"Xiahoudun, Yu Jin!" Cao Cao shouted, "You two lead five hundred elite cavalry to attack the camp. Regardless of success or failure, once you are discovered, immediately retreat to this valley."

"Here!"

Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin immediately came out of the team, the scales on their bodies rustled and responded.

"Dongfang Sheng!" Cao Cao glanced at Dongfang Sheng and said, "You will be by my side and be responsible for ambushing the Yellow Turban Army with me!"

Ambush, where to ambush?Dongfang Sheng looked at Cao Cao in bewilderment, but Cao Cao didn't explain, but patted his horse and went forward to look at the terrain.

Cao Cao rode his horse and watched the terrain carefully for a while near the valley where he was going to ambush, and then chose a place.

It turned out to be Taniguchi!Dongfang Sheng admired Cao Cao a little. He did not set up the ambush in the middle of the valley, but at the entrance of the valley. Once the chasing troops passed the middle valley, they would slack off, and the cavalry in front would charge back, and his soldiers would ambush at the entrance of the valley. The opponent would definitely be in chaos. .

Of course, the premise of doing this is that the other party will chase after him. If the other party doesn't fall for the trick and doesn't chase, then all the arrangements will be in vain.

However, wars are inherently full of unpredictability. If Yuan Shao's counselor Xu You hadn't defected in the Battle of Guandu, then Cao Cao would definitely not have burned Yuan Shao's food and grass. At that time, he will be self-defeating.

Dongfang Sheng took back his drifting thoughts. At this time, he was ambushing by Cao Cao's side and a group of infantry on both sides of Taniguchi.

There are some branches or turf on the top of each soldier's head. From a distance, it is impossible to see whether there are people on both sides. This is Dongfang Sheng's suggestion, and Cao Cao readily accepts it.

Cao Cao is actually very good at listening to the opinions of counselors and generals, and he implements a system of meritocracy, which means that you can be hired if you have talent, regardless of your background. This system is actually quite Ox fork.

Dongfang Sheng has been in this era for a while, and he naturally knows some disadvantages of this era, such as the barriers between the surnames and the gentry, just like the hereditary monarchy in ancient times, those surnames and gentry have always held important positions in the country and controlled the country's trend , Inherited from generation to generation, but the civilians and others below have no chance to take the lead.

If it weren't for Cao Cao's meritocracy system, I am afraid that some people would not be able to become officials, and it was precisely because of this system that the later gentry did not want to see Cao Cao.

Without the support of the gentry, Cao Cao was unable to unify the world throughout his life. Of course, this was also one of the constraints for his failure to be crowned the Ninth Five-Year Supreme.

Long!Long!Long!
The ground began to tremble. Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin had successfully led the enemy soldiers to the side of the valley.

Dongfang Sheng took the opportunity to take a glance. The general of the Yellow Turban Army was a relatively unfamiliar face, and he was probably delivering food to Cao Cao.

Since it wasn't Zhang Lei or Zhang Ping, Dongfang Sheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin didn't know how to provoke each other, anyway, the general followed behind in a hurry.

However, the general hesitated for a while after seeing Xiahou Dun and the others entering the valley. He stopped his progress and sent a few spies forward to investigate.

Isn't this guy stupid? Did he just pretend?Looking at the general's performance, Dongfang Sheng felt a little puzzled.

"Report to the general, there is no ambush in the valley ahead!" The spies reported back.

"Okay, okay!" The general said excitedly: "Keep chasing, and be sure to annihilate the opponent in one fell swoop!"

The general gave an order, and the elite Yellow Turban army who followed him immediately plunged into the valley.

When he was about to reach the end of the valley, the general of the Yellow Turban Army secretly rejoiced: Sure enough, there was no ambush!
Rumble!
It's a pity that they were greeted by a group of rumbling horseshoes and a group of wolf-like cavalry.

"Shield hands block it!" The general of the Yellow Turban Army was not an idiot either. When he saw the cavalry's impact, his first reaction was to arrange for the shield hands to block it in the front row.

boom!
There was a loud crash as the lightly armored horses of the cavalry slammed into the shields.

Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin took the lead and drove forward side by side. The swords in their hands had been stretched out. With the help of the horses, the swords in their hands made a sharp sound in the air.

puff!

A muffled sound.

Xiahou Dun leaned forward by virtue of inertia, and the long sword in his hand slashed on the neck of a shield player in the front row. A large head flew up, and blood flew everywhere.

This scene continued to be staged during the handover of the two armies, but there were also cavalrymen on horseback who were stabbed through the throat with a spear by the shieldman underneath, and fell down and died.

"withstand!"

The general of the Yellow Turban Army went to battle in person, but they had no choice but to walk unsteadily, and Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin waited for work at leisure. In the end, he could only retreat to Taniguchi with his soldiers.

Rumble!
The ground began to shake again, and Cao Cao immediately showed an excited expression. He reached out and held down the long sword at his waist, ready to strike at any time.

"Get ready!" Dongfang Sheng ordered.

The ropes that were originally buried in the ground were pulled up, and the rails were stretched tightly at the mouth of the valley.

"General, they have an ambush at the entrance of the valley!" After the cavalry in the Yellow Turban Army was caught by the horse rope, someone immediately reported.

Taniguchi actually had an ambush!The heart of the general of the Yellow Turban Army suddenly became cold. There were cavalry chasing after him, and ambushing and waiting in front. Isn't there no way out?
"The sky is dead, Huang Tian stands!"

The general of the Yellow Turban Army suddenly roared in grief and anger, and the morale of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army behind him was suddenly shaken. This is the power of religion. Doctrine to boost morale.
