Fall into battle! This name has not appeared in front of the generals of Cao Wei for a long time! As a veteran of Cao Wei, Cao Ren even participated in the Battle of Hanguguan. After seeing these two words, the memory of that dusty memory in his mind
, it was opened instantly!
Before the Battle of Hangu Pass, Cao Ren and Sun Ce, the overlord of Sun Wu at that time, led a large army to sneak attack Hangu Pass. What blocked Cao Ren and Sun Ce at that time was such an army holding high the "trap" flag! Although in the end Cao Ren and Sun Ce
The coalition forces led by Sun Ce relied on their numerical superiority to defeat this army, and once occupied Hangu Pass. However, the tenacity of this army caused great losses to the coalition forces, and this army fought until the last moment.
Successfully delayed until reinforcements arrived, Hangu Pass changed hands again, and Cao Ren and Sun Ce almost died in the battle at Hangu Pass! Cao Ren can still clearly remember the strong smell of blood that wafted through Hangu Pass back then.
As time went by, Cao Ren thought that he would never see this military flag again in this life. But he did not expect that today, in this border town of Yuzhou, he would encounter this iron-blooded army again! At the same time, Cao Ren also knew that he
What exactly was missed in the calculation: Hangu Pass! That’s Hangu Pass! The trapped camp stationed at Hangu Pass all year round!
In the Battle of Hangu Pass, although Cao Ren and Sun Ce defeated the entire army of the trapped camp, Gao Shun, the leader of the trapped camp, was still there! Cao Ren listened to the spies' reports back then, and Luo Yang personally allowed Gao Shun to recruit elite soldiers from the various armies of the Western Qin Dynasty.
, reorganized the trapped camp, but in the end Gao Shun did not draw soldiers from any army in the Western Qin Dynasty. Instead, he recruited new soldiers and trained them at Hangu Pass.
It is for this reason that the ministers of Cao and Wei gradually relaxed. How could an iron-blooded army like the trapped camp be easily trained? If Gao Shun followed Luo Yang's wishes and dispatched elite soldiers for training, perhaps
They still care about recruiting new soldiers for training, and trying to create a new trap camp is nothing more than a daydream!
Cao Ren had the same idea at the beginning, but when he saw the trapped camp reappearing in front of him, Cao Ren immediately threw his previous thoughts out of the sky! The trapped camp in front of him, both in terms of momentum and appearance,
The formations are exactly the same as the trapped camp at Hangu Pass back then! The number of trapped camp is less than 5,000 people, but the momentum exuded from the trapped camp is as if there are 50,000 people!
"You can't win!" Without any warning, this idea popped out of Cao Ren's mind. This kind of situation where he was already timid before he started fighting has never happened to Cao Ren in his life.
!This is not because Cao Ren is timid, but because Cao Ren has a premonition as a veteran!
"General Cao! General Cao! What's wrong?" A shout came from behind Cao Ren, but it was Li Dian and Xun You who rushed to the city at the same time. They both heard the sound of war drums at the top of the city and immediately put down what they were doing.
As soon as they arrived at the top of the city, they saw a mess on top of the city, but Cao Ren ignored it and just stood in a daze by the female wall. The two of them felt that something was wrong, so they both rushed to Cao Ren's side.
.
When they arrived at Cao Ren's side, the two of them looked outside the city at the same time, but they gasped in unison. Looking at the momentum of the camp outside the city, both of them felt their scalps go numb. The two glanced at each other.
, finally Li Dian said to Cao Ren: "Cao, General Cao! What should we do next?"
Although Li Dian asked vaguely, the meaning was very clear. Now there are only two ways in front of Cao Wei's army, one is to hold on to the city, and the other is to break out of the city!
It is definitely impossible to defend the city. Originally, Cao Ren and the others thought that the reinforcements from the Western Qin Dynasty would not arrive so quickly, but now it seems that even the trap camp that has been stationed at Hangu Pass all year round has appeared here! Maybe there will be more soon.
More Western Qin troops are coming! If you defend the city, you will end up being trapped and die in Nanton! So now the only way out is to break out of the encirclement!
"Breakthrough?" Cao Ren's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the trapped camp outside the city, Cao Ren couldn't make up his mind no matter what. Can Cao Wei's army, which had just fought a hard battle, really break through the trapped camp in front of them? Cao Ren
I don’t have any confidence in my heart!
"General! Make a decision quickly! Things will change later!" Seeing that Cao Ren remained silent, Xun You on the side was also anxious. Although he was advising Cao Ren, the commander of the army was still Cao Ren. If Cao Ren didn't speak, he would also
He has no authority to command the movement of the army!
"But, but Ma Chao hasn't come back yet? Are we going to abandon Ma Chao like this?" Cao Ren hesitated again and again, but he came up with such an excuse that seemed to him very reasonable.
My God! Xun You felt like his head was spinning! Is this still Cao Zixiao, the wisest general in Cao Wei's army? How could he become so indecisive and timid? Xun You didn't know what Cao Ren was afraid of.
He only knew that if the delay continued, Cao Wei's army in Nanton City would be dead! Immediately Xun You shouted to Cao Ren: "General Cao! General Ma must have been ambushed by the enemy and will not be able to come back."
!Don’t hesitate any more! Give the order to break out!”
Not to mention, Xun You's shout was really like a wake-up call, and it suddenly woke up Cao Ren. Cao Ren was stunned, and immediately nodded and said: "Yes! Yes! Mancheng! Pass my general order! The whole army must assemble!"
Let’s break out!”
"Here!" Knowing that the matter was urgent, Li Dian did not dare to delay. He turned around and walked directly towards the city. Cao Ren and Xun You also directed the order on the city top and asked the soldiers to clear the city head one by one.
However, Cao Ren did not go down first. He wanted to stay on top of the city and watch the movements of the trapped camp outside the city in order to make countermeasures.
At the same time, in the trapped camp army outside the city, the soldiers of the trapped camp, all wearing black armor, formed a square formation, five hundred steps away from the city. At the front of the square formation, three similarly
The generals in black armor rode horses at the front. One of them, a veteran with a white beard, was Gao Shun, the general of the Western Qin Dynasty who had been in charge of the camp for decades!
Narrowing his eyes and looking at the movement on the top of the city, Gao Shun suddenly raised his hand. Following Gao Shun's movement, the five thousand trapped soldiers immediately stopped, and their movements were uniform, as if they were one person.
Generally speaking, there is no disorder in the formation! The two generals beside Gao Shun are both young generals in their twenties. One of them looks somewhat similar to Gao Shun when he was young. He is Gao Shun's only son, Gao Xiu! Gao Xiu
He also looked at the movement on the top of the city, then turned to Gao Shun and said, "Father! How should we deal with it next?"
Gao Shun did not answer his son's question directly, but turned his head to look at the young general on the other side and asked: "綝er! What do you think?"
The young general known as "綝儿" had a square face. Although he looked ordinary, his expression showed resoluteness. Hearing Gao Shun's inquiry, he pursed his lips and stared closely at the movement on the top of the city.
After a while, he replied: "Uncle! Cao Wei's soldiers and horses are not guarding the city! They should want to break out! Our army should be prepared!"
Hearing this answer, Gao Shun nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Gao Xiu on the side: "Xiu'er! Order the soldiers to form an array! Use a wild goose formation to meet the enemy!"
"Here!" Although they were father and son, Gao Xiu's performance was no different from that of superiors and subordinates in the army. After making a promise, he conveyed Gao Shun's general order to the army. Gao Shun expressed his gratitude to Gao Xiu and his subordinates.
Another young general said: "Xiu'er! Wei'er! I will never take action in this battle. Whether you can complete the mission of the lord, everything depends on you!"
"Here! Please don't worry, father (uncle)!" After listening to Gao Shun's words, the two of them not only showed no worried expressions, but their faces were full of fighting spirit. The young general who called Gao Shun uncle was not Gao Shun's.
His biological nephew, this son is called Le Wei, and his father is Le Jin, the general of the Western Qin Dynasty who died in Yuzhou ten years ago in order to attack Sun Wu!
At that time, Le Jin's character was taciturn, which was somewhat similar to that of Gao Shun. Therefore, among the generals of the Western Qin Dynasty, the friendship between Gao Shun and Le Jin was also very good. The news of Le Jin's death in battle also made people sad.
Gao Shun was sad for a long time. Gao Shun had always taken good care of Le Jin's son Le Wei. A few years ago, Le Wei joined the army after graduating from Qingcheng College. Gao Shun personally requested Luo Yang and transferred Le Wei to
Hangu Pass, however, planned to train Le Wei himself, and taught Le Wei his many years of experience in training and trapping in the camp!
Over the years, Gao Shun also knew that he was getting old. In a few years, he might not even be able to go to the battlefield, so he asked for orders to carry out this special mission. Naturally, Gao Shun's purpose was not to establish a
What a great achievement, but to cultivate the abilities of Gao Xiu and Le Wei on the battlefield, so that's why I said what I just said.
Before Gao Shun could finish his words, he heard a creak, and the gate of Nanton City slowly opened. Gao Shun stopped talking nonsense, pointed towards the city gate with his hand, and took a few steps back on horseback.
.
The two young generals, Gao Xiu and Le Wei, also looked at each other and nodded. Gao Xiu was younger than Le Wei, and he always respected Le Wei as his brother, so the command authority for this battle naturally rested with him.
On Le Wei's body. Le Wei shouted in a deep voice: "Generals, listen to the order! The front row raises shields, and the back row raises swords! Prepare for battle!"
"Boom! Boom!" Two loud noises were made by the soldiers in the trapped camp raising their shields and swords at the same time. Then, as Le Wei raised his spear and pointed forward, the first row of soldiers raised their shields.
The soldiers of the trapped camp took a step forward at the same time! When this step fell, the whole earth was shaken, bringing up a piece of dust, like a layer of mist, covering up the formation of the trapped camp!
