Guo Si and Li Jue had the same idea, that is, they were guarding against each other, fearing that the other party would hold them back when the war was stalemate. However, the method Guo Si chose to deal with this was stupid, and he thought to himself
The number of soldiers and horses in his headquarters was equal to that of Cao Cao, so he decided to take the lead in the war and destroy Cao Cao's army alone before Li Jue could take action. In Guo Si's view, as long as Cao Cao was defeated before Li Jue could react, then the opponent would naturally have no chance
If you try to hold yourself back, and if you can capture the Han Emperor from Cao Cao and gather his defeated troops, your reputation and strength will be much higher than that of Li Jue.
Guo Si's thinking can be said to be extremely naive, and he doesn't know where he got the confidence that his army would be able to defeat Cao Cao's army. However, in any case, spurred by this thought, Guo Si left Li Li behind.
Jue and Zhang Ji took the lead in launching an attack on Cao Cao.
On the outskirts of Luoyang, the two armies faced each other. Guo Si ordered his general Wu Xi to lead 5,000 troops as the vanguard. On Cao Cao's side, Cao Cao ordered Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao to lead a total of 3,500 troops as the vanguard - among which Gao Shun was under his jurisdiction.
Fifteen hundred sergeants from the captured camp were arrayed in the center of the formation, Zhao Yun led a thousand people on the left wing, and Zhang Liao led a thousand people on the right wing - against Wu Xi's five thousand people.
Gao Shun looked at this battlefield, and a feeling of nostalgia could not help but arise in his heart. Isn't this the place where Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo's armies faced off? It was also here that he experienced his first large-scale battlefield fighting.
Well. But now, several years later, when he was here again, his identity had gradually changed from an insignificant uncle in Ding Yuan's army to a general under Cao Cao. This made Gao Shun lament the ever-changing nature of the world.
"The ambition to trap the enemy!" Gao Shun raised his gentian and pointed forward, shouting loudly.
"I am invincible!" the soldiers in the camp behind Gao Shun responded loudly.
The trapped camp moved and rushed towards Wu Xi's military formation without hesitation. Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao's troops stuck closely to both sides of them, accompanying the trapped camp to attack the front.
As the ace of Cao's army, there is only one reason why the trapped camp was thrown into the battlefield so early - to establish prestige!
Wu Xi's army launched an attack almost at the same time as Cao's army. The two armies collided head-on, and the battle on the outskirts of Luoyang City began.
Gao Shun's trap was like a sharp knife, piercing a deep and long wound on the enemy's body. Wherever the spear in the trap soldier's hand passed, the corpses of the enemy soldiers must have fallen.
Falling is the end. The individual combat power of the soldiers in the trapped camp is much higher than that of Wu Xijun, so that Wu Xijun hardly has much power to fight back in front of the trapped camp.
Although the combat power of Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao's troops is slightly inferior to that of the trapped camp, they are definitely brave troops. As the vanguard of the two armies, although Cao's army is slightly inferior in number to the other side, the battlefield at this time is completely one-sided.
Situation - Cao's army marched forward bravely, while Wu Xi's army retreated in successive defeats.
As the leader of the trapped camp, Gao Shun naturally charged at the front of the entire army. He suddenly swung down the dragon gall in his hand, and immediately another enemy soldier was hit on the spot until his brains exploded.
It weighs forty-two pounds and is made of pure iron. Coupled with Gao Shun's own swing strength, if it hits someone on the head, 99% of the time it will kill the other person on the spot. It feels like killing the enemy alive.
Very happy, Gao Shun found that he seemed to have gradually fallen in love with this straightforward and brutal way of fighting.
Facing such a fierce general, the soldiers of Wu Xijun hesitated, and no one wanted to die in vain.
In other places on the battlefield, fewer and fewer enemy soldiers dared to get close to Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun. In terms of martial prowess, Zhang Liao was as good as Gao Shun, and Zhao Yun was even better than Gao Shun. The two men just used a few casual moves.
, and immediately a dozen people were killed by their spears and swords.
The soldiers were frightened by the power of Gao Shun and others and hesitated to move forward. At this time, Gao Shun focused on the enemy general Wu Xi. Because Wu Xi's army was facing the trapped camp and Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao's troops.
, basically had no resistance, so Cao Jun's advance was very fast. Now the distance between Gao Shun and Wu Xi was less than twenty steps.
"Drive!" He couldn't miss the opportunity. Seeing that he was about to kill the general, Gao Shun patted his horse on his hip and rushed towards Wu Xi.
Wu Xi witnessed Gao Shun's performance clearly. With his martial arts skills and courage, he dared not accept the challenge. He immediately patted his horse and fled to the rear.
As soon as the general fled, the whole army collapsed! Five thousand people followed Wu Xi and retreated to the rear in no order. The scene was really chaotic. When Gao Shun saw this, he led his army to pursue them and easily captured a lot of them.
The enemy's head.
Guo Bang's face changed drastically as he looked at the retreating front army. If his central army was attacked by the defeated army in front and Cao Jun took advantage of the situation to attack, then his tens of thousands of troops would probably be wiped out here.
Already.
"How unreasonable, that Wu Xi is really useless! It has only been half an hour since the war started, and his army has already been so defeated!" Guo Si yelled.
But what's the effect of just scolding? Even if Guo Bang curses, it can't change the fact that his Chinese army has been impacted and the formation has gradually become looser.
Cao Cao himself obviously did not expect that the battle situation would go so smoothly, so he made a prompt decision and issued the order for a general attack by the entire army.
Destroy everything!
The rest of the time was completely a unilateral massacre by Cao Jun. Guo Sijun, who was in chaos, was basically a piece of fish on the chopping board at this time, allowing Cao Jun to slaughter him. Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xiahou Dun and others all made contributions to killing generals.
, and Guo Si's own body was eventually discovered among the rebels.
Before the war, the military strength of Cao Cao and Guo Si was 50,000 to more than 55,000. After the war, the total number of soldiers killed in Cao Cao's army was 2,475, while the number of soldiers killed in Guo Si's army was 2,475.
More than 20,000! Most of the remaining soldiers were captured by Cao's army, while the other half were deserters and scattered in all directions.
————————————————————————————————————“Guo Aduo’s entire army was wiped out, and even he himself died?” Li Jue
His tone was extremely trembling at this time. He knew that Cao Jun was not easy to mess with, but he never imagined that the opponent's strength would be so arrogant. Guo Bang may not be capable, but he still has tens of thousands of troops in his hands.
Cao Cao fought a battle and all these tens of thousands of people were wiped out, including Guo Si himself.
On the side, Jia Xu's eyes were full of splendor. Cao Cao defeated Guo Si in one battle, which he had not expected beforehand. Although Guo Si's decision to leave Li Jue and Zhang Ji alone to challenge Cao Cao was actually a foolish act.
, but Jia Xu initially thought that the two sides would be in a stalemate for a while. After all, although Cao Cao's army was powerful, most of Guo Si's soldiers were strong soldiers brought from Liangzhou, although their training may have become a bit lazy in recent years.
, but it will never fall to the point of collapse.
Cao Cao, Cao Cao... Jia Xu has always been very conceited about his talents, but for Cao Cao, Jia Xu just feels that he is becoming increasingly unclear and unable to figure out the other person.
At this moment, Li Jue was completely in a state of fear. If he had some confidence in defeating Cao Cao not long ago, now all these confidences have been lost, and all that is left is
Endless panic and hesitation. Although he disliked Guo Si, he still knew Guo Si very well. In terms of talent, he was not much better than Guo Si. Guo Si faced a complete defeat against Cao Jun.
Then I'm afraid I won't be much better.
"Guo Aduo, how could this guy be so stupid that he would abandon Zhang Ji and me and challenge Cao Cao alone, causing tens of thousands of troops to die in vain!" It's a pity that complaining about a dead man will not have any effect. What should I do now?
What to do? Li Jue fell into deep distress and helplessness...
