The first thousand and thirty-five chapters full of tactics
Xu You immediately turned around and gave instructions to the few messengers waiting below the watchtower. Then he turned back and smiled at Yuan Shaopi and said: "My lord, it is indeed a clever plan. We are real and fake, and we will not hurt any soldiers."
, but those bastards in Cao Ying are always nervous and scared to the point of peeing."
"Haha..." Yuan Shao also laughed heartily, and then he did not forget to praise Xu You and said: "Military advisor, do you also have credit? If you hadn't reminded me, Cao Zhi and I know each other too well, and I wouldn't have thought of using it.
This move. This move
This kid Cao Zhi used this trick a few years ago in Shouchun. We call it treating others the way they treat themselves. Cao Zhi brought it upon himself. I want to see if he knows me better, or I
Get to know him better, hahaha..."
Yuan Shao laughed heartily again as he spoke. Now with the help of Xu You, he was increasingly realizing the joy of attacking without haste.
But just before Yuan Shao and Xu You's laughter subsided, they heard a shocking shout. The gate of Cao Ying's west village opened wide, and a group of people came out with a roar.
The person who rushed out of the gate of Xiying Village was none other than Li Dian, one of Cao Zhi's sworn brothers and the leader of Cao Jun's Xiying Village. Thousands of elite cavalry and three thousand infantrymen behind him followed him with a burst of shocking shouts.
Together they launched a charge towards Yuan Jun's camp.
Li Dian and others got the order from the angry general Cao Zhi, so they led his troops out of the stronghold to show Yuan's army some courtesy.
Cao Jun's initiative to attack immediately attracted Yuan Shao's attention. Yuan Shao immediately turned his gaze to the west on the watchtower. He was far away and could not see clearly which army and horse were coming from Cao's camp. But he only saw the one who was coming.
There were probably thousands of people along the way, most of them cavalry. The horses on their backs were tall and tall, and the warriors on the horses looked fierce and murderous. At a glance, you could tell that they were not the same people as Yi Yu.
Yuan Shao immediately happily ordered his generals to prepare to stop the invading enemy.
Li Dian, who also rushed out of the camp and looked from a distance to watch Yuan Jun's "Chariot Camp" from a closer distance, also lamented that the "Chariot Camp" was really strong and unusual. The Yuan Army soldiers guarding it were holding swords and guns, bows and arrows.
Their camps are all the same
Garrisoned. These sergeants of the Yuan Army were also well-trained. When Li Dian approached, he only saw the shadows of the other party shaking on these carriage camps. Although there were only one or two thousand people, due to the density and thickness of their carriage camps, he was afraid that
It takes a lot of effort to break through!
At this time, the Yuan Army soldiers who entered the shooting range immediately fired a round of arrows. In the blink of an eye, they overturned dozens of Cao Army cavalry who were rushing forward. They wanted to use this rain of arrows to forcefully drive back the attacking Cao Army soldiers.
.
It's just that this group of Cao's cavalry and infantry generals were very tough, and in the blink of an eye they had already rushed forward several feet.
The soldiers of Yuan Jun who stood on the chariot and fired arrows at Cao Jun who rushed towards them shot out many arrows in a few breaths, but a strange scene appeared on several cavalrymen of Cao Jun who were getting closer and closer. Yuan Jun
The soldiers clearly saw that the arrows they shot landed on these people and penetrated into their flesh, but these people seemed to be unconscious, with no sign of pain on their faces, and they still rushed forward bravely and unusually.
There was a look of horror on the faces of Yuan Jun's generals. Are there still people in this world who don't know pain? Is it true that as in the legends of gods and ghosts, Cao Jun had some magic to control his body and became invulnerable?
But soon under another round of arrows, these brave Cao Jun soldiers could no longer bear it. They were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. They had just relied on brute force to hold on.
But the effect of this desperate hold was still there. At the cost of Cao's army losing three to four hundred men, Li Dian and others finally rushed into Yuan's cavalry formation. However, they rode close to these Cao's cavalry and waited until Yuan's battle was approaching.
In front of the car, a more cruel fact appeared before their eyes.
Front. Because Yuan Jun's chariots were surrounded, Cao Jun's cavalry could only dismount and jump into Yuan Jun's formation in a step-by-step battle. Because these Yuan Jun's chariots were too high and too dense, the jumping power of their horses was too high to jump.
However, these defensive ones can only dismount and fight on foot.
At this moment, Li Dian quickly showed his body and rushed into the torrent of steel behind Yuan Jun's formation as fast as lightning. The fine iron sword he got from Xiwu flashed and cut off more than ten iron swords in the blink of an eye.
He grabbed the shield and the necks of Yuan Jun soldiers behind him, and shouted loudly: "My sons, charge at me..."
After this charge, the arrows on Yuan Jun's chariot had to be suspended for a while, and they used spears and swords to attack the approaching Cao Jun soldiers from top to bottom.
Li Dian and his more than 5,000 cavalry and infantry generals then charged forward for some distance. It looked like they were trying to break out a bloody path and rush into Yuan Jun's camp.
Although Yuan Jun now uses the car camp method, the previous method of forming a continuous camp has not changed. Therefore, as soon as the front line of Yuan Jun's west camp is attacked, the reinforcements behind can be quickly replenished in a few steps.
Although the first wave of attacks by Li Dian and others was vigorous, just when he was excitedly giving the order to launch another fierce attack, Yuan Jun's reinforcements arrived in time, not only blocking the sharp attack of Li Dian and others, but also immediately launched a counterattack
With his powerful ability, he was able to repel Li Dian's five thousand soldiers and horses.
At this time, Zhao Yun, who was accompanying Cao Zhi to watch the battle at the Xiying camp, cupped his fists, knelt on one leg in front of Cao Zhi, and asked for his order: "My lord, the last general is calling for an attack to reinforce General Li!"
"Okay, accurate!" Cao Zhi also saw that Li Dian was not optimistic. When he slightly regretted his impulsiveness, after thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and loudly approved Zhao Yun's request.
Then Zhao Yun quickly descended from the camp, jumped on his pure white horse, roared loudly, and raised the newly refined iron spear in his hand. But when the horse under him neighed and stood upright with its legs, he roared and shouted: "
Brothers, charge into the enemy formation and take Yuan Shao's head, everyone rush..."
At Zhao Yun's call, Cao Cao's five thousand troops, who were already ready to go, attacked like a tide toward the area where Li Dian and others were fighting fiercely. Everyone's face was filled with excitement.
Zhao Yun took the lead, leading the army behind him, rushing forward crazily, and rushed into the battle groups of both warring parties in the blink of an eye.
Although Zhao Yun's wave of men and horses lost another three to four hundred men under the continuous shooting of Yuan Jun's arrows when they had time to free up their hands, they quickly used the sharp spearheads and cold spears.
Stab into the enemy's chest, retaliate for the dead comrades, and achieve a balance of victory by doubling the enemy's death.
The battle involving tens of thousands of people finally started in full swing on this long-awaited plain after both sides completed their formation.
The occasion was unprecedented. Cao Jun invested tens of thousands of troops outside the camp and launched a fierce attack on Yuan Jun's defense line. Yuan Jun invested the same number of troops in the defense. Not only was he not at a disadvantage, but he also stabilized the defense line and only waited for the reinforcements gathered behind him to arrive.
, they can counterattack Cao Jun.
The offensive and defensive sides fought for about half an hour. Under Cao Zhi's order to retreat, Cao Jun saw that he could not break through Yuan Jun's defense line for a while, so he took the initiative to pull his army away.
Cao Zhi was also based on the fact that if he continued to fight, he would definitely not be rewarded, and the casualties on both sides at this time were one or two thousand, which was roughly the same. He and his sergeants felt bad about Yuan Shao's feigned attack, so he stopped today.
He sent troops to recruit Li Dian and Zhao Yun back.
Throughout the day and night, Yuan Jun was busy cleaning up the battlefield that had been disturbed by Li Dian and Zhao Yun, and did not harass Cao Jun again.
Cao Jun also did not send troops to attack Yuan Jun. After all, Yuan Shao had a strong family background, and the loss of ten thousand people in a battle was only a drop in the bucket for him, but Cao Zhi did not dare to try it easily. Yuan Shao just took the opportunity to laugh at Cao Zhi, saying that he still
It's good to run fast, otherwise his attacking force of ten thousand people will be completely wiped out. He also said that Cao Zhi must be afraid of him now and will surrender in the near future.
When Yuan Shao, his boss Bo Chen Lin, began to write a letter to persuade Cao Zhi to surrender, he became more and more confident in the current tactics. He even thought to himself: "As long as we persist like this, victory is just around the corner."
!”
While Yuan Shao was complacent, Cao Zhi was indeed depressed. But he was not afraid of Yuan Shao as Yuan Shao thought, but he was depressed and panicked because of today's encounter.
In the past, it was Cao Zhi who led the army with all kinds of tricks, making the hostile forces uneasy day and night. But now the situation has been completely reversed. Yuan Shao relied on the strength of the army and the many advisers under his tent to accomplish many things in a row.
Cao Zhi's tricks began to make Cao Zhi unable to live in peace. Cao Zhi opened his mouth and took a bite of Yuan Shao's, but there was no place to bite, so Cao Zhi was very depressed.
Cao Zhi and his subordinates were thinking hard about ways to defeat the enemy, and more than half a month passed unknowingly.
Today is April, and the weather is starting to get warmer. During this period, Cao Zhi already knew that the number one adviser around Yuan Shao who was making suggestions was Xu You.
When Cao Zhi heard that it was Xu You, he was half relieved. He only said to Xun You and Jia Xu who came from Xiangyang with additional troops, "This person will definitely surrender to me!"
Everyone was surprised why Cao Zhi was so sure, but Cao Zhi was busy with military affairs every day and simply ignored Yuan Shao and Xu You who were struggling outside.
Xu You, on the other hand, wanted to live up to Yuan Shao's compliment that "Zi Yuan is my wise man" and got a chance to speak. For a month and a half, Xu You continuously changed various formations. It can be said that there are a lot of tactics for forming a camp, and he used various "
sultry
"The purpose of the poss is to lure Cao Zhi out of the stronghold for a decisive battle and consume the opponent's strength. However, Cao Zhi has recently begun to ignore the changes in Yuan's army outside the stronghold, and has begun to focus on defending, easily never going out to fight.
This made Xu You restless, thinking hard about new strategies, and at the same time he couldn't help but worry about his changeable master Yuan Shaolai.
In fact, Xu You is now making a lot of plans, but his purpose is still adhering to the direction of Ju Shou's "Protracted War Theory".
As a counselor, how could Xu You fail to see the various benefits of "lasting" for them? Only in this long-term consumption, their hope of victory is the greatest.
