After having the idea, 10,000 cavalry were quickly organized, led by Chi You, with General You Liang as the first pursuer.
Except for Li Chengliang, who has basically no sense of presence, among the remaining four forces, two groups of troops are sent, and two groups of princes send generals. There is a high possibility that the first group of pursuing troops will encounter an ambush, so the four princes must
Contribution.
Han Xin's 10,000 troops this time were all Youzhou cavalry, and half of them were divided and formed the first line of pursuit with Yuan Shao's 5,000 cavalry.
There are many masters among the five thousand Jin troops, so there must be corresponding masters to control the formation. Otherwise, if the opponent easily kills one's side, even if the second group of troops can arrive in time, it will be greatly compromised. So,
Chi You and You Liang, Cao Cao's first general, took over this task.
As a prince along the way, Chi You should not take risks easily. But except for him, no one in the coalition army can stop Xing Tian.
What's more, Chi You has enough confidence in himself that even if nothing can be done in the end, with his strength, it will still be no problem to kill one man and one horse!
The second group of pursuers also had 10,000 cavalry, but they included elite cavalry such as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and were led by heroes like Cao Cao himself.

"Grand Governor!" Gao Shun called Li Jing, and at the same time passed a message taken from the carrier pigeon to Li Jing.
In principle, other generals are not qualified to view these messages in the presence of the coach.
"There are two groups of pursuers at the front and the back! Later, there was a large army pressing in. There are quite a few capable people among the coalition forces!" Li Jing sighed slightly, and then ordered Gao Shun, "Order the generals to give up the ambush and wait for our army to pass.
, use rolling logs and thunder stones to block the road and slow down the enemy’s pursuit!”
This time, Li Jing laid two ambushes, but now he gave up both ambushes!
However, although he gave up the ambush he had prepared, Li Jing was not ready to return to Hulao Pass. During the many years he guarded Hezhou, Li Jing did not waste his time, but carefully studied the formation.
Based on the Five Elements and Bagua Formation in "The Art of War", Li Jing further deduced a formation that is unique to him, the Six Flowers Formation. This formation has not really shined since Li Jing's derivation was completed. Perhaps
, today is an opportunity.
………………………
"What a cunning thief!" Chi You couldn't help but said harshly as he looked at the road covered with rolling logs and rocks.
Chi You looked at the hillsides on both sides of the road. This was indeed an excellent place for an ambush. If so many rolling logs and rocks were thrown on their heads, their casualties would probably not be small.
"Clear the road quickly!" Chi You loudly ordered to the soldiers behind him. These cavalry could not walk on such a road.
It is said that there is strength in numbers, and Chi You had ten thousand people behind him. Although he only sent half of the people to clear the road, and the other half were always on guard, it still only took less than half an hour.
After a while, the road was cleared again.
However, after wasting nearly half an hour, Cao Cao, the second group of pursuers, was only a few miles away from them.
"Continue to pursue!" Chi You continued to order. In fact, Chi You himself had lost track of this pursuit. He spent nearly half an hour here, and the enemy didn't even know how far he had traveled!
However, perhaps because he would not shed tears until he saw the coffin, would not give up until he reached the Yellow River, or did not want to give up the remaining hope, Chi You still chose to continue chasing.
"Hey!" He just ran out of the range of more than 20 miles again. Chi You, who had almost given up hope for this pursuit for the first time, discovered the Jin army again.
However, this scene was obviously not quite what they had expected.
"Go and inform Duke Wei so that he can come over as soon as possible!" Looking at this huge military formation, Chi You roughly estimated that there must be tens of thousands of horses. Just with his 10,000 cavalry, they are not as good as others.
opponent.
Fortunately, due to the delay of nearly half an hour, Cao Cao's men and horses were already very close to him. Let the two groups of men and horses join up first.
"Come here, separate out your cavalry and investigate the surroundings!" Chi You ordered again.
This move was done out of caution by Chi You to prevent the Jin army from ambushing any troops around here!
"What an amazing formation!" After Cao Cao arrived, he first found a high place to take a look, and then he couldn't help but exclaimed.
Cao Cao also studied the art of war and formations quite a bit. Although he couldn't see anything substantial from the outside, nor could he see how to break the formation, it didn't stop him from understanding the power of this formation.
"Hahaha, after a eunuch, there is also the remnant of the Yellow Turban. Have you seen enough? How dare you break the six-flower formation set up by the governor of my family!" Kuafu walked out of the army and looked forward to Cao Cao, who was watching the formation from a distance.
He and Chi You shouted sharply.
However, although Kuafu made rude remarks, Cao Cao and Chi You were not simple people and would not be offended by such a simple sentence. This formation was obviously not simple, and they would not act recklessly without certainty.
Ground attack!
"My lord, I will invite you to fight and give me five thousand cavalry. I will definitely break this formation!" The Lord humiliated his ministers to death. Cao Cao and Chi You didn't react at all, but all the generals under them did.
Can't stay any longer!
"Hahaha, it's just the barking of some ignorant fanatics, why should you generals care?" Cao Cao waved his hand as if he really didn't care.
"Wei Gong, is there a way to break the formation?" Chi You's deep voice came from the side.
Chi You was very good at commanding troops and was very good at fighting, but he knew very little about formations. Although out of the intuition of a general, he instinctively felt that this formation was quite powerful, but if he was asked to think of something ingenious,
The method of breaking the formation was definitely something he wouldn't have thought of.
"It's difficult!" Cao Cao shook his head and then said solemnly, "From the outside, this formation consists of seven square formations, six formations on the periphery, and a circular formation in the center where the commander is!
Looking more closely, in this formation, the big formation contains the small formations, and the large camp contains the small camps. Without the formation map, who can know how many formations and how many battalions this formation is divided into.
Moreover, the four directions and corners of this formation are connected to each other, and the twists and turns correspond to each other. The formation is arranged in this way, with many changes, and the odd and right are consistent. If you enter this formation without noticing, you will definitely be in trouble!"
