Naturally, Ding Daqi didn't know that he had been underestimated by the five-inch Ding opposite him.
At this time, he was listening to Huang Yong's military report.
Huang Yong had just withdrawn from the front line. After handing over the command to his deputy, Huang Yong hurriedly rode to the foot of Ding Sheng's banner.
Because it was dark on the way, he and his soldiers encountered a wave of fainted Han troops, and annihilated them before rushing over.
As soon as Huang Yong arrived, he saw Ding Sheng sitting on the horse under the big banner. Seeing him coming, Ding Sheng did not say anything and asked directly:
"Is the military situation so urgent? Do you, the captain, need to personally report it?"
There was blood on Huang Yong's armor, his arm armor was torn, and his wounds were bleeding, but neither Ding Sheng nor himself cared much about it.
He looked hesitant and said to Ding Sheng:
"Our army has broken through two formations of the Han army and is rushing to support Zhao Xiaowei's troops in the formation."
Ding Sheng was confused and asked:
"Isn't this progress very good? Why are you here if you don't want to expand the results?"
At this time, Huang Yong finally revealed his true meaning. He said:
"But the two units of our army attacked too far forward and were cut off by the enemy's cavalry. They are now trapped in the formation. I came here to ask the commander to send me reinforcements."
As soon as these words came out, Ding Sheng neither sneered nor scolded him. He listened quietly to Huang Yong's words. In the end, he only said one sentence to Huang Yong:
"There are no reinforcements. If you insist on reinforcements, you can drag me to choose your front for you."
Huang Yong was speechless for a moment. Why did he come in person? Wasn't he just worried that the troops would not come out if they wanted reinforcements? But now that he came in person, he still couldn't get the troops.
At this time, Huang Yong was already a little angry. He scolded Ding Sheng directly:
"Ding Daqi, do you want to send reinforcements? The brothers in the two front divisions have been cut off, are you going to die without saving them? One of the divisions is Zhang Mao."
Good guy, Colonel Huang Yong immediately choked Ding Sheng, who was already the fifth commander in chief.
Although the two men had similar qualifications, they were both old brothers who had gathered together in the forest. But at the beginning of the army, Ding Sheng was already one of the four great generals, and Huang Yong at that time was still a corps commander under Heifu.
After that, Ding Sheng rose higher and higher, and is now one of the five commanders. Heifu, who was also a general in the past, was transferred to a local government because he stayed in Heji. The gap between the two is already obvious, and even more Needless to say, Huang Yong, Heifu’s old subordinate.
But Huang Yong still complained, because that Zhang Mao was none other than the son of Zhang Wu, who was also a member of Linzhong Juyi.
Zhang Wu was not only their old brother, but also from the Zhang family in Dashangli. He came out with Zhang Chong to transport water transport.
Unlike Zhang Nan, Zhang Da and others, Zhang Wu had bad luck. He died in battle when his brothers entered Mount Tai to establish their foundation, so he had no influence at all in the Mount Tai army.
But the old brothers have always been grateful to Zhang Wu for taking care of his son Zhang Mao after he joined the army.
But now that Zhang Mao was under heavy siege, Huang Yong, who regarded Zhang Mao as his nephew, couldn't care less and scolded him directly.
And Ding Sheng was not used to it. He jumped up and pointed at Huang Yong's nose and yelled back:
"Old Yellow Sheep, remember this for me. Zhang Mao's father is our old brother, isn't Zhao Rong? He is still surrounded in the army. Damn you, I was going to scold you just now for not being in the army.
Go rush in to rescue Zhao Rong, and ask me for reinforcements while you are still here. I will give you three numbers. If you don't go back to preside over the military formation, I will kill you now."
Huang Yong's face turned green and red after being scolded by Ding Sheng. He saw that Ding Sheng was serious about it, so he left. When he left, he didn't forget to say:
"Hmph, just leave. But you have to send me the reinforcements, otherwise Zhao Rong and Zhang Mao will be dead."
After saying that, Huang Yong mounted his horse again and led the guards back to the army.
Seeing Huang Yong walking away cursing at himself, Ding Sheng was also very angry.
You Huang Yong, don’t you even think about it, why Guo Liang, who was the corps commander with you back then, is now the captain of the Flying Bear Army? And you are still the captain of a second-line battalion?
Isn't this just how unruly you are? Do you really think that you have the affection of an old brother, so that you can be so unscrupulous?
However, although Ding Sheng had a problem with Huang Yong, it was not because of any personal grudge that he did not send reinforcements to Huang Yong, but because Ding Sheng had his own plan.
…
On the way back, Huang Yong was not harassed by any soldiers again.
But when he returned and took over the military equipment that symbolized command power, Huang Yong said these words to the generals who stayed under the banner.
"I just went to the commander-in-chief to ask for reinforcements. The commander-in-chief said that the reinforcements would arrive immediately. However, the commander-in-chief gave us reinforcements, but which one of our rear captains is not the one with a stick? Are we just going to sit here and wait for the reinforcements to come from behind?
Go and save the brothers in front? There is nothing to say now. The whole battalion will be armored in a while, and we will go and clear a way out ourselves. Let the brothers in the army see that our rear captain never abandons a brother."
The generals knew that reinforcements were coming from behind, and they heard the captain's encouraging words, so naturally their morale was high.
A moment later, all the two hundred soldiers from the school captain's headquarters headed by Huang Yong finished donning their armor.
Among them, Huang Yong himself wore two layers of armor, held a giant ax in his hand, and shouted:
"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. Today, let Cao Jun know whether he is the public or the public."
So, on the battlefield where light and darkness were uncertain, the two hundred soldiers were reflected in the moonlight, and they launched an attack on Cao's cavalry that was charging back and forth.
They formed a group of two or three, the one in front leaned over and chopped off the horse's legs, the one on the left chopped off the horse's head, and the one on the right chopped off the human leg. In a short time, Cao Jun's leopard cavalry was killed in a sea of blood, and the man was killed and the horse was overturned.
Cao Cao and Gai's two cavalry armies were unprepared and retreated slightly.
At this moment, Cao Cao, who was already on the periphery of the battlefield, calmly watched Huang Yong's heroic counterattack.
He still sneered and said to Xu Chu:
"Zhongkang, what do you think?"
Xu Chu stared intently at the rampaging armored army and uttered four words:
"Chicken and dog."
Cao Cao laughed loudly and suddenly asked Xu Chu:
"Oh, what the hell are you doing? Is it because the enemy is not brave enough or because the armor is weak? Or is it because it is ineffective and gives up?"
Xu Chu was surprised. Fortunately, it was dark and he couldn't see clearly. Otherwise, Cao Cao would have seen his warriors and his face would have turned red with embarrassment.
People just let you talk, Xiao Cao, why should you take it seriously?
Xu Chu blushed, but Cao Cao didn't seem to know. Instead, he cheered up. He patted Xu Chu on the shoulder and sneered:
"But Zhongkang, you are right. They are indeed chickens and dogs. Although the dogs look scary, they will break into pieces when touched. Look at those brave soldiers. They are indeed good at fighting, but you
Look at the back?"
Xu Chu followed the direction pointed by Cao Cao, and there was darkness and nothing there.
"Is there nothing?"
Xu Chu suddenly realized and replied:
"So those soldiers are actually lonely warriors? There are no reinforcements at all, and there is no successor?"
Cao Cao patted Xu Chu on the shoulder several times, as if he was a coward who could be taught.
Xu Chu was a little embarrassed. He knew what he was made of. He was naturally not afraid of fighting on the battlefield, but he was afraid that his lord would suddenly say, "Zhongkang, what do you think?"
He also knew that this was the intention of his master to train him, but our old Xu was really not that kind of material.
Also afraid that Cao Cao would have second thoughts, Xu Chu took the initiative and asked:
"My lord, since the enemy soldiers are weak to strong crossbows, why not step forward and annihilate them in one fell swoop?"
Cao Cao nodded and agreed:
"Indeed, this enemy general has lost his mind and went out to die on his own. If he is still in the formation, I really don't know what to do. The formation formed by the Taishan Army is really hard, just like the one in the circle
The infantry formation, Shen Zhengnan's side was about to be captured several times, but suddenly a counterattack started, and I don't know how to practice it. It makes people envious. Please remember to tell me later, what are the prisoners in this battle?
No one from the Taishan Army is allowed to be killed, I will kill anyone who kills him."
Xu Chu clasped his fists to accept the order, and then nothing happened, still standing on the horse without moving.
Cao Cao was surprised and cursed:
"Didn't you understand? I asked you to lead the Leopard Cavalry to kill the soldiers for me."
Xu Chu shook his head and said:
"My lord, please let others go. Before setting off for the expedition, the military advisor specifically told us not to leave our lord's side."
The military advisor was not Xun Yu who stayed in Jinan, but Xi Zhicai.
Xi Zhicai was a great scholar from Yingchuan, a man of many plans and good soldiers. After being recommended by Xun Yu, he was highly used by Cao Cao, even second only to Xun Yu.
After Xi Zhicai joined the army, he gave more praises and helped Cao Cao win many battles. This night attack was planned by him and Xi Zhicai together. It can be said that the two of them were always such a perfect match on the battlefield.
Seeing how dumb Xu Chu was, Cao Cao became stern and cursed:
"You listen to the military advisor, don't you listen to me? I order you to attack."
But Xu Chu remained unmoved. He only said this sentence:
"Lord, I heard what the military advisor said not because it was said by the military commander, but because it was right."
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Xu Chu to say these words. He pursed his lips and stared at Xu Chu like this.
Then Cao Cao laughed and said,
He no longer cared about Xu Chu, a fool, and turned to the majestic cavalry commander behind him:
"Ji Yue, are you willing to take the enemy general's head for me?"
The majestic cavalryman named Ji Yue was Gongsun Yue, the younger brother of White Horse Captain Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Yue pursed his lips. After hearing this, without saying a word, he led a group of Youzhou cavalry behind him and began to attack Huang Yong's armored soldiers.
Cao Cao looked at Gongsun Yue with satisfaction and thought of a lot of ways to attract Youzhou's sudden cavalry.
In this Youzhou sudden cavalry, the Xianyu family is a force. Now that they have taken refuge with Liu Yu, he will not be easy to deal with for a while. The main ones left are the Gongsun brothers. These two are easy to deal with, as long as Cao Cao continues to fight with him.
When Taishan's army fights, these Gongsun brothers will be used by him.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly had another idea.
I heard from the Gongsun brothers that one of their clan uncles had retreated to Liaodong with the remnants of the real Baima Yi. Liaodong is not far from Qingzhou. We will see if we can send people across the sea to bring this Baima Yi to Liaodong.
Received.
Now it seems that the Anti-Taishan Army has quite a lot of benefits.
Who makes the Taishan Army have so many enemies? It seems like this is really a flag.
While Cao Cao was waiting for Gongsun Yue's victory report, he suddenly saw the Youzhou cavalry in front of him suddenly retreating.
And they didn't even say hello to Cao Cao and the others, they just passed Cao Cao's cavalry and retreated back.
What's going on? Does it look like you've lost a battle?
Cao Cao hurriedly asked people to stop a few Youzhou cavalry, and then he knew what had just happened.
It turned out that just when Gongsun Yue led hundreds of Youzhou cavalry to attack Huang Yong's soldiers, he was suddenly ambushed on the road by a team carrying crossbows.
In the first round of arrows fired by the Taishan Army, General Gongsun Yue was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse. Some of the remaining Youzhou Cavalry tried to save them, but after being shot down one by one, the rest lost their morale and collapsed.
Already.
Until this time, Cao Cao, who had always wanted to absorb Youzhou's sudden cavalry for his own use, suddenly came to his senses when he looked at those sudden cavalry who were defeated facing the north:
"Can we really fight with such soldiers?"
Cao Cao's suspicion was no longer a question, but a statement.
The Youzhou Cavalry, which was once famous all over the world, was no longer the heroic army it once was after repeated defeats at the hands of the Taishan Army.
In fact, after the Youzhou Tuqi followed the Han army in Qinghe and rushed south to Qingzhou without firing a single shot, the Youzhou Tuqi fell into depravity.
Before, they were in Hebei and their home was in Hebei.
The Han flag is flying above their heads, and behind them is the hometown that needs their protection, so they consider themselves guards. But now that they have retreated to Qingzhou like bereft dogs, what else do they have?
They left their hometown and became a living guest army.
Since they can retreat from Qinghe to the plains, they can naturally retreat to Jinan without a single move. Anyway, they have horses and talents, and they will be reused wherever they go, so why risk their lives?
This is one step back, one step back.
Cao Cao's face was very ugly, because he obviously felt that something had changed.
Where did that ambush come from?
Cao Cao hurriedly suppressed his uneasiness and suddenly said to the many cavalry officers present:
"Everyone, the situation is very clear now. The Taishan Army is completely outnumbered. Now that the battle has started, you can see that the Taishan Army is no longer what it used to be. Since they took Hebei, they have conquered and conquered Nanshan.
The previous combat strength has declined by two or three levels. I assert that this battle is the key to the Taishan Army turning from prosperity to decline. Let us rush forward and win our glory!"
At this time, Cao Cao no longer cared about the armored soldiers, but took the last remaining force around him to attack the Taishan Army behind them.
That must be where the enemy's general is. Behead him first and then attack the front army.
In this way, hundreds of elite leopard riders followed Cao Cao and Xu Chu's horses and rode towards the south.
But just as the final assault battle was about to start, a group of cavalry came running from the southeast. They were the sentinels that Cao Cao had previously placed on the outside.
I saw the two cavalry passing through the right side of the cavalry. Suddenly they saw Cao Cao's banner and hurriedly shouted:
"Lord, there are police in the southeast, and a reinforcement force with a flag with the word 'Guan' hanging high has arrived nearby."
Cao Cao was holding the reins and driving when he suddenly heard this sentence and was startled.
He galloped out and asked in fright:
"How can you see the flag on the other side clearly when it's dark like this?"
The two riders didn't dare to hide anything and hurriedly said:
"The enemy's lights are hanging high, and the Guanzi flag is clearly visible."
