Every step Cao Chun takes is the best and the most correct choice at the moment, but why did it become like this?
The best opportunity does not mean that one can succeed. Many times, a good opportunity that looks just "looks".
Overall, Cao Chun's plan was not a problem. The problem was that the opponent he encountered was Zhao Yun.
Cao Chun did see a good opportunity, but in the end, he couldn't turn it into reality.
If someone else had changed, without Zhao Yun's calmness and caution, he might have fallen into Cao Chun's trap and then lost control of Beimo.
Calmness and caution are easy to say, but it is not easy to do.
And this calmness and prudence naturally paid off, and now it is the stage of Zhao Yun's harvest.
The Cao army's cavalry was hit hard by the back midfielder, and then Zhao Yun led the cavalry into the chrysanthemum team.
It's a terrible sight.
Zhao Yun waved his spear and rushed across the cross-section of the Cao cavalry, invincible, causing a huge, sad and desperate wound.
Cao Chun stayed behind the rear guard and was the two Cao army chiefs. They led more than 400 cavalry and almost madly stood in front of Zhao Yun's army. Cao's troops who were thrown down to serve as blocking tasks have now become meat on the chopping board.
Some Cao army soldiers howled, refusing to put down their weapons and fighting for trapped beasts, but were soon ravaged by hundreds of knives, hundreds of spears, and hundreds of long arrows, and were swallowed up in a blink of an eye. Other Cao army soldiers, especially ordinary Cao army infantry who had no time to escape in the Black Stone Forest, and most of the labor service, kneeled down and surrendered without saying a word.
Almost none of the cavalry ruled by Cao Chun surrendered, except for some who fell and were captured during the battle, they were basically killed in battle. The desperate battles of these Cao's cavalry, regardless of life and death, also brought some casualties to the Changshan army under Zhao Yun.
As Qu Chang left by Cao Chun died in the charge, most of the more than 400 cavalrymen lost their lives, the Cao army soldiers in the southern section of the Black Stone Forest also lost their morale and could not hold on. They were driven out of the Black Stone Forest by the fire. They were then cut off by Zhao Yun and his army, surrounded and had no way out.
To the north, Cao's soldiers and Semi people were both injured.
On the east side, Cao Chun forced Zhang He back with his men and horses, and after opening the road to the east, he hurriedly fled to Yuyang with his men and horses.
In Cao Chun's position, he thought he was first rebelled by the Hu people, and then attacked by Zhang He and Zhao Yun from three sides. What else can he do under such a situation?
Of course, you will fight for a bloody road, and you will escape as far as you want!
Because Zhang He's unit had poor physical strength and personnel combat power, and Cao Chun led his people to fight to the death, Zhang He's unit was also very damaged and could not effectively block the Cao army. He could only use the tactics of fighting to entangle Cao Chun. In the end, the horsepower dropped too much. After running for a while, he had to stop.
The red sun began to shift westward without realizing it.
In the wilderness, the shouts of killing in the Black Stone Forest gradually stopped, leaving only uncontrollable moans and screams.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood. Every breath seemed to feel the stickiness of blood pouring into the mouth and nose.
The raw coal of the Black Stone Forest was mixed with the black smoke produced by the burning of trees soared up into the air, isolating a large area, and the smoke emitted from it made people cry and cough.
With his desperate obstacles and the fire partitions of the Black Stone Forest, Cao Chun finally escaped from the battlefield. He looked back at the Black Stone Forest as he was getting farther and farther away, and his heart felt as heavy as if he was filled with lead.
The battle over there seems to have ended.
Outside the Black Stone Forest, several rare war horses lost their owners and were still running aimlessly, while the shouts of heroic warriors and the collision of swords and guns have slowly become sparse until they are gradually inaudible.
The black smoke kink in the air became a huge monster, seemingly laughing wildly...
Cao Chun was defeated...
But he knew one thing, and it was also something he had been denied before, and even deceived himself, that is, Zhao Yun had never left the Northern Region, and all the messages sent by the Northern Region were fake!
This shows a lot of problems.
In addition to the person who passed the news back before immediately becoming suspicious, it was enough to stamp Xiahou Shang with a rebellious seal...
Otherwise, it would be unreasonable why Xiahou Shang was unable to convey this most important message back!
"It's not a crime of war!" Cao Chun gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice.
After thinking about it this way, Cao Chun felt better in his heart, unlike he was almost bored and vomiting blood just now.
Moreover, Cao Chun also thought of a more serious problem. Since Cao Chun received some fake news here, did Cao Cao, who was in Tongguan of Heluo, also received a lot of fake news?
What channel did these fake news come from?
During the transmission process, has there been any special tampering?
Cao Chun must rush back to Yuyang and send these latest news to Cao Cao!
Being trapped!
This is a huge strategy of the cavalry Fei Qian!
A despicable conspiracy!
Cao Chun felt that he had finally opened a corner by himself!
I hope it's still time!
I hope the layout in Yuyang can be useful!
...
...
I don’t know if there is too late for other places, but the Yuyang land is a bit too late for them…
After Suli killed Qifu Hegan, he was granted a title. Some people were happy and of course some were secretly dissatisfied. For example, it was Yu Zhuge. Although Yu Zhuge and Qifu Hegan's relationship was not very good, Yu Zhuge once thought that Qifu Hegan could help him regain the authority left by Ke Bien, but now...
Yu Zhuge can only find another way.
For him, Beimo, or Cao's army, Fei's army, were not the key points, the key points were that he wanted to show his qualifications to inherit Ke Bineng's legacy!
As for the distant future, Yu Zhulu couldn't see or imagine it, so he could only think of the nearest point...
That is, Yuyang.
Most nomadic peoples cannot consider things that are too long because their life span is not long, and the dynasties they live in may not give them the opportunity to attack the Central Plains, so they are basically thinking about the same as those of bandits, focusing on plunder. Only after continuous plundering will greater ambitions be derived.
So far, Yu Zhuge only wanted to prove himself with a "great" victory. After Qifu Hegan could not help him, Yu Zhuge had to find a way. After Cao Chun left Yu Zhuge, the most attractive piece of fat meat that was closest to Yu Zhuge.
When he first ate fat meat, Yu Zhuge was quite smooth. He took advantage of Cao Chun's time to take care of him in the Black Stone Forest and sneaked to the area north of Yanshan Mountain in Yuyang, and then launched sneak attacks and looting against Cao's army camps, checkpoints, and surrounding villages in the Yanshan area.
The Cao army soldiers were not prepared for a moment and were caught off guard by Yu Zhuge. Most of them were defeated directly, but where could the infantry beat the horses? Most of the escaped Cao army infantry died on the road, and only two or three hundred could run back to Yuyang. These Cao army soldiers were recruited, which means that most of them were made up of local raiders. These guys were better than ordinary refugees, but the problem was that discipline was very poor. If they did not undergo a long period of strict requirements, it would be difficult to change.
Cao Chun's main energy was basically devoted to the cavalry, and his management of infantry was given to his deputy, Ding Chong.
Ding Chong's Ding is Ding of Mrs. Ding. Although Mrs. Ding and Lao Cao's classmates had a quarrel, the Ding family was not suppressed by Cao Cao because of this. Even because of Lao Cao's guilt towards Mrs. Ding Chong gave Ding Chong and others a lot of benefits. For example, Ding Chong had served as the official examination in Jizhou before. It's a pity that Ding Chong is a good person, Wenhui is good at drinking, but Jizhou's official examination in Jizhou was unable to handle it well, so he half-punished and half-transferred to Youzhou to serve as a detached leader.
For relatives like Ding Chong, both Cao Cao and Cao Chun were relatively at ease, and Ding Chong's ability was not too poor. When Ding Chong first accepted the recruitment of Cao's infantry, the Cao's army had less than 4,000 infantry, and there were still many empty quotas. However, after Ding Chong's sorting and recruitment, by the time Cao Chun went to the expedition, there were already 7,000 people, which was nearly doubled.
When Cao Chun went to war, he took away more than 3,000 infantrymen, and now there are more than 3,000 left in Yuyang, but the remaining Cao army infantrymen are of different quality.
The good is naturally very good. It is located in the core area of ​​Yuyang. Is it bad? It was manifested when I was attacked by Yu Zhuzu. Before I even fought, I robbed my own camp and ran away. I even saw one or two Hu cavalrymen and reported that I had encountered hundreds of Hu cavalrymen...
So when the true and false news came to the place where Ding Chong in Yuyang, Ding Chong could not tell which ones were true and which ones were false, but after calculating the reported data in general, Ding Chong was shocked. He thought that Cao Chun was burying outside. Zhao Yun of Changshan led a large army to rush to Yuyang, and quickly made people ignited the smoke and warned the mainland, while urgently deploying the defenses of Yuyang and Gubeikou.
...
...
Yu Zhuge never thought of defeating Yuyang. Of course, it would be the best if he could defeat him, but his primary goal was to plunder, especially to return to the White Mountain Black Water with some spoils belonging to the great man. Then he could claim that he could avenge Kirby for revenge, so he could naturally gather the remnants of Xianbei scattered between the White Mountain Black Water.
When Yu Zhuze saw the wolf smoke rising in the direction of Yuyang, he was still a little anxious. His original plan was to be as fast as possible, but now he originally planned to walk for one day, but now he has been walking for two days...
If the effect of a surprise attack on Yuyang cannot be achieved, many of the subsequent actions will be difficult to carry out.
The cavalry of Cao's army is not easy to mess with. If it is blocked in Yuyang for too long, it will be very troublesome. However, Yu Zhucai knew in his heart that for an expedition like Cao Chun, he could not fight just by wanting to fight, but there must be subsequent supplies and follow-ups. What Yu Zhucai is targeting is the supplies that follow-up supplies.
But Yu Zhucao never expected that before the Cao army soldiers on duty could rob, the Cao army infantry took action by themselves, burned some military camps and retreated before Yu Zhucao and his men were waiting for Yu Zhucao to take the initiative to rob.
How can this be fat?!
Therefore, Yu Zhuzu's initial goal was not achieved at all. Now he can only hope to obtain enough supplies around Yuyang after entering Yanshan.
Yu Zhuge thinks that Yu Yang is fertile and beautiful, which is undoubtedly correct. Yu Yang is indeed very fat at the moment.
In order to support Xiahou Dun and Cao Chun and others' expedition, although the local gentry and gentry in Jizhou were very reluctant, Cao Cao's power was still there, especially taking advantage of the previous Xu County changes to kill many local gentry, and even people like Kong Rong were killed. Under the secret cursing and causing trouble, the surface articles still had to be done, so they still collected some supplies and provided them to Xiahou Dun and Cao Chun.
These materials are first and later, and they cannot be transported directly to the front line in one go, so they all require labor and mules and horses to transport them. Now there are a lot of materials stored in Yuyang. If Yu Zhuge can be packed and taken away, it is indeed a rat that falls into the oil tank, and he is full of oil and water...
But now Yu Zhuze is marching urgently to attack Yuyang. The army does not have much food and grass, and Yuyang is not so fragile under Cao Chun's management.
The Cao army infantry at Gubeikou was obviously different from the military camps north of Yanshan Mountain. They were almost in the same level. They not only had tincture oil, but also had a small amount of gunpowder. Yu Zhuge launched an attack on Gubeikou, and Cao's soldiers immediately used tincture oil and gunpowder, which not only blocked the attack of the avenue, but also blocked the small roads in the mountains. They also tried to attack at night last night. The two sides confronted twice under Gubeikou. Yu Zhuge did not take any advantage.
The two sides were in a stalemate for two days. On the evening of the second day, Yu Zhuge finally broke through a mountain road in Yanshan and walked around the back line of Gubeikou. The Cao army defenders were forced to abandon the fortifications at Gubeikou and set fire in Guanzhong to take the initiative to retreat, so that Yu Zhuge could only break through Gubeikou with a large force after the fire gradually extinguished at noon on the third day.
Compared with the Taihang Mountains, the Yanshan Mountains are just younger brothers. But for Hu cavalry, this "brother" is a continuous hill and a scattered giant. Even for the Xianbei people who are used to drilling woods between the white and black waters of Liaodong, it is still difficult to walk. Of course, the most important thing is not that Yanshan cannot pass, but that there are not many passages left for the troops to march. Gubeikou is one of them. The distance between the two mountains is only one mile, and the narrow place is even more than ten meters. This terrain has no space for cavalry to move at all, so it is easy to be ambushed by infantry.
The capture of Gubeikou undoubtedly encouraged Yu Zhulu's ambition.
If Gubeikou was too difficult to fight, and the loss of troops and generals was too powerful, Yu Zhuze would have run away with the things that were looted north of Yanshan Mountain. Anyway, no one could deny that the Cao army north of Yanshan Mountain was not the Cao army. Although there were fewer supplies, it could not deny that those things were not the artifacts of the Han Dynasty.
But Gubeikou was taken down like this...
It's like a supermarket being smashed to open the door? This little idea of ​​buying zero yuan suddenly turned into a big deal?!
So Yu Zhuo excitedly followed Gubeikou and headed straight to Yuyang City, then climbed to the hill north of Yuyang. After looking at it, his heart skipped a beat and became half cold.
Yuyang Energy became an important city in the north of the Han Dynasty. It was always the first battlefield for the Hu people to fight against the Han people. It was not a random choice for no reason. This was the most favorable terrain for the Han people. The two wings were covered by the terrain of Yanshan, and the cavalry could not pass through. The Yuyang City was stuck in the middle, with majestic walls and crossbows casting stones.
After hesitating for a long time, he came up with a wonderful idea!
Yu Zhuze called a small Xianbei who had been able to fight Yuyang with Ke Bi back then and asked, "When you followed the king to fight Yuyang, was this what Yuyang was like?"
"This... this seems to be more than the last time... the crossbow carts and catapults..." The little leader also stared at the city in Yuyang, "These crossbow carts and catapults are very powerful. They will die if they touch the edge. And seeing that there are so many spear soldiers on the top of the city, if they really attack the city... I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties..."
After the little boss finished speaking, he lowered his head, but peeked at Yu Zhuge's face from the corner of his eyes. He thought it would be better not to attack Yuyang City, just rob the outside of the city. Anyway, the Han people guarded the Han people, and they robbed them, aren't this the case for three or four hundred years?
Yu Zhuge understood the meaning of the little leader, but when he saw that he had arrived at Yuyang City, the fat meat was left with the last hard shell. How could he be willing to do it without trying to bite it?
Yu Zhuge stared at the Yuyang defense line for a while, his eyes kept changing. The little leader knew that Yu Zhuge was considering whether to attack Yuyang City, so he couldn't help but feel nervous. He was unwilling to attack the Han army with crossbows and catapults deployed defense.
Finally, Yu Zhuzi spoke and said, "I have an important task to you... I don't know if you still have the courage..."
The little leader looked as if he was dead, but he could only grit his teeth and said, "I, I have..."
"Take your men through Yuyang City and go to Yuyang to investigate behind Yuyang..." Yu Zhuze said slowly, "Be sure to check the defense arrangements around Yuyang and give them a reward within two days. Remember to use the banner of the three-color Han man... Well, if you don't have a banner, just declare it first..."
Use it first by borrowing a name...
The little leader let out a long sigh, agreed quickly, and retreated. He originally thought he was going to risk his life to hit the city wall. Although it was hard to go around and investigate, it was better than climbing the city wall with a crossbow and a stone cart.
...
...
Opposite Yu Zhuge, Ding Chong, who was standing on the top of Yu Yang City, was also looking at Yu Zhuge's troops, and then frowned and searching...
"Have you seen the flag of the cavalry?" Ding Chong asked.
The surrounding Cao's soldiers also stared at searching, but they couldn't find it.
but……
It would rather believe it.
"Ding Biejia, this...isn't this the Hu servants of the cavalry?" Cao's soldiers said, "I really didn't see the flag of the cavalry..."
The three-color flag of the Han Dynasty was only one of the cavalry, and there was no other semicolon.
Ding Chong thought for a long time and hesitated a little.
Although Cao Chun said when he left Yuyang that there might be a change of family, Ding Chong suspected that it was more likely that Cao Chun was defeated by Zhao Yun or even encircled and annihilated...
Otherwise, why wouldn't there be even a report and be directly attacked?
Chapter completed!
