Chapter 162 Determined to Attack Chen Liu at Night
Chapter 162 Determination, Night Attack on Chen Liu
Yuan Shao's face was very pale and he was a little dazed. The burning of the food and grass meant that all their retreat routes were cut off.
The food and grass left in Yanjin can only last for two days at most.
It will collapse in two days.
Did he come here with great ambitions just to see his failure?
Yuan Shao was unwilling to give in, and continued to ask with a pale face: "What about Wen Chou? I have General Wen Chou, how could those three thousand people escape?"
After Yuan Shao finished speaking, the soldiers whispered: "My lord, General Wen Chou, has been beheaded by the enemy general Guan Yu."
"Buzz!"
Yuan Shao felt his energy and blood surge, and the scene in front of him began to blur.
"No, it's impossible!"
Just one day, when he was full of ambitions and prepared to attack Chenliu with an army of 300,000 men, Guan Yu led 3,000 soldiers and burned down Wuchao in front of them. Who can bear this?
Yuan Shao could not accept this reality.
"Poof!" A mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.
Yuan Shao was so angry that he vomited blood and passed out.
"Lord!"
Soldiers from all around surrounded Yuan Shao. Surrounded by them, Yuan Shao's life or death was uncertain. This attack was also interrupted because Wuchao was interrupted.
Chen Liu.
"In the end, we will fulfill our mission!"
Guan Yu walked in alone, and everyone showed shocked expressions. It was not because Guan Yu came back safe and sound.
It was a human head rolling on the ground.
"This is this?"
Cao Cao asked with a puzzled look.
Cao Ren on the side said directly, with the same shock in his eyes.
"My lord, this is the head of Wen Chou, Yuan Shao's general!"
In just a few days, Yuan Shao lost two generals. No wonder the lord said that although Guan Yu is not as good as Zilong, he is as brave as Zilong.
Cao Cao laughed directly: "Haha, okay!"
Now that Yuan Shao's Wuchao is gone, there is only one choice left for them, and that is to attack Chen Liu!
If they attack other areas by force, their food and grass will not be enough to support them. If they do not attack, they will fail without attacking!
Now Cao Jun doesn't have to worry at all, he just needs to recharge his batteries, hide his strength and bide his time.
Then Cao Cao looked at the people below and asked, "Is there any movement at Yuan Shao's station in Yanjin?"
A scout took a step forward and said: "All the soldiers that Yuan Jun reorganized have returned to the camp. It seems that they have given up the attack!"
Everyone looked strange when they heard this, and Guo Jia also looked curious.
"This is strange. How can Yuan Shao remain calm in this situation?"
Zhao Feng thought of something and smiled: "Maybe he fainted from anger."
There was obviously no battle between the two armies, but Yuan Shao was already defeated. How could this not make people angry?
Seeing Zhao Feng's teasing tone, everyone looked at each other and smiled.
"Haha, the military advisor is really good at joking."
But just for a moment, everyone fell silent. It seemed that what the military advisor said was very reasonable.
If he hadn't fainted from anger, could Yuan Shao really be able to calm down?
Cao Cao couldn't help but look towards Zhao Feng and said with a smile: "Haha, it might be true!"
Facing everyone's discussion, Zhao Feng said: "If my guess is good, it's probably like this."
Then Zhao Feng looked at the people below and continued: "General Qu Yi, where is he!"
Even if Yuan Shao falls ill, Yuan Shao's army will definitely send troops to attack Chen Liu. Now their only choice is to attack Chen Liu!
Gongsun Zan will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to take control of the army and send troops to Chen Liu as the commander-in-chief!
Since Gongsun Zan is commanding the army, Qu Yi must lead the army in this battle.
Zhao Feng knew that Gongsun Zan, who usually frightened the reputation of the foreign tribes in northern Saibei, and the invincible white horse Yi Cong, would lose to Qu Yi's first-death warrior!
In other words, Qu Yi is Gongsun Zan’s nemesis.
Qu Yi took a step forward, bowed and said, "The general is here!"
Seeing him coming forward, Zhao Feng showed a smile, looked at Cao Cao aside and said: "My lord, I propose that General Qu Yi be the commander-in-chief of the three armies tomorrow!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone showed a hint of surprise.
Even Qu Yi was stunned on the spot. Although he was proud and indulgent and thought he was talented, he was suddenly made the commander-in-chief of the armed forces today, which he never expected.
Cao Cao also showed curiosity. He had long heard from Zhao Feng that Qu Yi was proficient in Qiang warfare and could restrain Gongsun Zan.
At the same time, his subordinates who died first were able to defeat the white horse Yi Cong.
But seeing how trusting Zhao Feng was, Cao Cao nodded and said, "Okay, let Qu Yi be the commander-in-chief of the three armies tomorrow!"
How shrewd Cao Cao was, he naturally knew that trusting people should not be used, and employing people should not be trusted. Zhao Feng also knew this, and he also trusted Qu Yi very much.
Seeing Cao Cao speak like this, Qu Yi burst into tears of gratitude and quickly bowed and said, "My lord, I have been kind to me, and at the end of this battle, I will definitely kill Yuan Shao's army without leaving any trace behind, as a repayment!"
Zhao Feng also laughed. In a head-on battle, Qu Yilai's troops were much stronger than him. At the same time, he was also certain that Yuan Shao's army would definitely come to attack tomorrow!
As long as they attack a small surrounding county, they can relieve their urgent needs.
The next day.
Yanjin's 300,000 troops have gathered together again. There is no need to defend Wuchao, all the troops are here!
At the same time, the commander-in-chief this time was Gongsun Zan. Originally, Yuan Shao was not even able to participate in this battle because of his physical discomfort.
Facing the indecisive Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan became much more decisive. The 300,000-strong army went directly to Chenliu without any preparation!
At noon that day, he stationed himself ten miles away from Chenliu, but there were not many generals Gongsun Zan could use.
He only brought troops and horses here, and the rest stayed in Youzhou to guard the foreign tribes.
The only one who could use it was Zhang He and Gao Lan. As for Yuan Shao's nephews, they didn't pay attention at all.
At this time, Gongsun Zan looked at everyone and said coldly: "We only have enough food and grass for two days. Tonight, we will immediately launch a night attack. The archers will prepare flaming arrows and attack Chenliu at night!"
I have to say that compared to Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan was a little too decisive, taking action as he was told without any ambiguity.
Gao Lan showed a trace of contemplation and said: "General, if we attack so eagerly, they must have been prepared for it."
Gongsun Zan smiled and said: "Haha, on the contrary, they must know that we are running out of food now, and they are not anxious at all, they are just waiting for us to attack in one fell swoop!"
"Since this is the final battle, we might as well show their determination!"
Gongsun Zan was able to become famous in Youzhou because he had some abilities. In terms of strength, Yuan Shao was still a little behind.
The fact that Yuan Shao was able to get along so well was entirely due to his status as the Fourth Generation and the Third Duke.
In the barracks, countless soldiers were preparing for this final battle.
Gongsun Zan had no idea of preparing for a second attack. He planned to decide the outcome tonight and capture Chen Liu!
