Chapter 250: Yu has a plan, the name is 'House of Flying Daggers'
Although Lu Yan's military strength has expanded a lot,
However, whether it is the newly added Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, the expanded Dragon Cavalry Battalion, or the Tiefu Tu that changed from infantry warfare to horse warfare, it will take a period of training and running-in before a truly effective battle can be formed.
force.
The battle of the army is never just about the personnel or equipment configuration on the books, but the comparison of military discipline, tacit understanding, and teamwork. It does not mean who has more people or whose generals seem to be famous, they will definitely win.
The iron pagoda is invincible in frontal impact, but if it is targeted, it can still be easily cracked. At this time, it will need the pull of light cavalry. It would be better if it can be covered by cavalry shooting.
The Beiwei army integrates offense and defense, but is restrained by long weapons and needs the cover of other arms...
For this reason, although each of the troops under Lu Yan's command is top-notch combat power, it still takes a period of time to get into shape and train as a whole.
To deal with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao believed that he had enough strength, and Lu Yan's team could train and act as a defensive force at the same time.
Before Cao Cao sent out troops, he also met someone.
That person was Chen Gong and Chen Gongtai who first defected to Cao Cao but then abandoned him.
Chen Gong came to Xuchang under Lu Bu's instruction, intending to discuss various matters with Cao Cao about forming an alliance to jointly deal with Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao was grateful from the bottom of his heart for Lu Bu's helping hand in times of crisis.
If Lu Lingqi hadn't led 10,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry to help, it would have been very difficult for Cao Cao to break through the Yuan army's camp guarded by 30,000 soldiers with a few thousand cavalry.
After meeting Chen Gong, Cao Cao not only expressed his regret and self-blame for the past, but also did not make things difficult or blame Chen Gong at all. This made Chen Gong's last obstacle to Cao Cao completely dissipate.
The two held candles and talked at night,
From the time when Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo alone to talking about Lu Bu's great changes along the way;
From the Northern Expedition to Yuan Shao, we talked about the interesting stories between Lu Yan and Lu Lingqi.
Tonight, the two of them seemed to have returned to the time when they first met in prison...
The next day.
Although he slept very late last night, Cao Cao still set out for the military camp early in the morning. Today is the day when Cao Cao leads an army of 100,000 to the north.
Cao Cao's spirit was extremely excited when he thought that Yuan Shao actually dared to actively seek a decisive battle.
What Lao Cao fears most is that Yuan Shao cannot retreat and recuperate, which will completely slow down Cao Cao's pace of conquering the world.
Fortunately now, Yuan Shao actually jumped out and seemed to be saying to Lao Cao: "Come and beat me!"
If Lao Cao didn't give him a good beating, he would really be sorry for Yuan Shao's kindness.
When passing by Dongjun, Cao Cao also took away Yu Jin and 10,000 infantry soldiers from Dongjun. Anyway, this time he was fighting in Cangting, so the threat to Dongjun was not great. Chen Deng and the remaining 10,000 soldiers were there.
The army is enough.
Cao Cao urged his troops to advance quickly, crossed the Yellow River and rushed to Cangting to set up camp.
When Yuan Tan saw Cao Cao's army arriving, he tried to send troops to attack at night. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao was already prepared, and Yuan Tan finally returned with a slight defeat.
A night attack is actually more like a test.
As soon as it dawned the next day, the two armies began to look at each other outside Cangtingjin. The drums were beating loudly. This was the beginning of the main event!
The two armies set up their battle formations, and Cao Cao led his generals into battle.
Due to the confidence of the previous victory in Guandu, Cao Jun's generals were all high-spirited and full of energy.
Yuan Shao also led Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and Gao Gan to the front of the formation. However, when the officers and soldiers of Yuan's army were compared with those of Cao's army, they suddenly seemed a little listless and lacked confidence.
Cao Cao rode out of the battle, looked at Yuan Shao with empty eyes, and shouted: "Brother Benchu! Am I dazzled? Why do you suddenly seem to have aged twenty years?!"
Yuan Shao snorted coldly and said nothing.
He, Yuan Shao, is not stupid. Wouldn't it be humiliating himself to shout to Cao Cao at this time?
Seeing that Yuan Shao remained silent, Cao Cao grinned and said: "Brother Benchu, I remember that we had a close friendship in the past. If you dismount and accept surrender, I may consider doing the same as I did to Xu You, and seek a high official and a generous salary for you in front of the emperor.
I guarantee that I will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future!”
When Cao Cao mentioned Xu You, he immediately touched Yuan Shao's sore spot. He said bitterly in his heart: "Damn Xu You!!! I'm going to peel off your skin, drink your blood, and eat your flesh!"
Looking at Cao Cao's current self-satisfied appearance, or rather the triumphant appearance of a villain, Yuan Shao couldn't help but think of the past...
In the past, Cao Cao always treated Yuan Shao with respect, greeted him with a smile, and behaved like a younger brother.
However, today, he was able to humiliate himself in this way in front of the soldiers of the three armies. How could Yuan Shao hold back?
Cao Cao wanted to shout one more thing, but Yuan Shao suddenly interrupted: "Cao Ahao, don't let a villain succeed here and show off your power!
If it weren't for Xu You, how could I have been attacked by you in Wuchao?
If it weren't for Zhang He Gao Lan's defeat in the battle, how could I have lost to you in Guandu! Today, with my dedicated civil and military service, I will definitely be able to kill you and put an end to the hatred in my heart!"
Well, it's all Xu You's fault, it's all Zhang He and Gao Lan's fault, but it's not your Yuan Shao's fault...
Yuan Shao picked himself clean and acted irresponsibly, but it made Cao Cao's soldiers look down on him even more.
Cao Cao blinked, glanced at Yuan Shao with a smile, and said: "Brother Benchu, you still don't understand why you were defeated by me... You are so stupid!"
Yuan Shao was once again humiliated by Cao Cao in public. He finally couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "Who dares to step in and help me destroy Cao Cao's arrogance?"
Fighter in front of the battle?
Boss Cao likes it the most!
Although Zhao Yun didn't come, he still had Zhang Liao, Yue Jin, Yu Jin, Xu Chu, and the generals you Yuan Shaoneng fought were either dead or surrendered. Who else is capable of defeating them?
As soon as Yuan Shao finished speaking, Yuan Shang, who had previously shot Shi Huan with a trick in Hanoi County, immediately flew out.
In order to increase his weight in Yuan Shao's heart, he was unwilling to miss any opportunity to earn face in front of Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao saw a young general rushing out of Yuan Shao's formation, and his appearance was somewhat similar to that of Yuan Shao when he was young, so Cao Cao asked the generals behind him: "Do you recognize this general?"
At this time, one of the Yuan Jun generals who surrendered from Yuan Shao replied: "My lord, this is Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shang!"
Cao Cao was stunned and murmured: "Yuan Shao's son?"
At this moment, a general leaped out of Cao's army.
Everyone looked carefully and saw that it was a young general who rushed out of Xia Houyuan's formation.
In front of the battle, Yuan Shang and General Cao fought for several rounds.
When the two horses finally passed each other, Yuan Shang took the opportunity to draw his bow and arrow, turned over and shot Cao Cao in the back!
"puff!"
There was a dull sound of an arrow entering the body, and General Cao fell off his horse.
"Despicable!" Cao Jun's soldiers were furious.
Just as several members of General Cao were trying to rush out, Yuan Shao saw that the situation was not good, and immediately drew his sword and pointed forward, shouting: "General Cao is dead! All troops, attack!"
Cao Cao saw that Yuan Shao was throwing a tantrum at the slightest disagreement, so he was not to be outdone and immediately ordered the entire army to fight.
Yuan's army is large, Cao's army is elite...
The total number of nearly 300,000 people from both sides fought in a mass outside Cangting. They fought until the sky was dark and the sun and the moon were dark!
Killing from noon to dusk,
Both Yuan Jun and Cao Jun were exhausted at this moment.
In addition, it was already getting late, so Cao and Yuan finally paid the money to withdraw their troops and return to the camp.
In the large tent of the Chinese army,
Cao Cao didn't expect that Yuan Shao could be so tenacious and that a battle could not do anything to him.
So Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu and Xun You, "Zhongde and Gongda, do you have a plan to defeat Yuan Shao?"
Cheng Yu did not give in, bowed his hands and said: "My lord, my subordinates are not talented, but I have a plan!"
"The plan is coming?"
"The name of this plan is: Ambush from all sides!"
