Chapter four hundred and seventy-fifth: Cao Cao attacking
Gradually, the most massive battlefield everywhere, where the two emperors of Wei and Tang directly charged head-on for a decisive battle, made the Tang army fall into a weak position due to various reasons.
The Wei army has firmly gained the upper hand.
An old man with an immortal spirit came to the chariot of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, our plan can begin."
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty stared intently at the battlefield and said solemnly: "Are you sure?"
This old man is none other than Linghu Xuan, the deputy commander of the Tang army.
"Your Majesty, the formation has been set up, and the traps and traps in front have also been arranged. As long as the Wei army dares to come, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses." Linghu Xuan said, holding his fists.
The Emperor of Tang Dynasty nodded solemnly.
He is not a fool. He dared to fight to the death with the Wei army despite the huge disparity in strength. He must have come prepared.
And all of this was arranged by Linghu Xuan.
Success or failure depends on this!
However, Zhao Changqing is still unaware of all this.
He just suddenly felt that the Tang army's offensive seemed to be gradually weakening.
Simply, he wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it.
If the Tang army could be completely defeated in this battle, then capturing the Tang state would be an extremely easy task.
In Wushan, Cao Cao has not yet sent out troops.
He chose a risky plan.
Plan to exchange one hundred thousand for two hundred thousand.
The rest of the army rushed to the main battlefield.
The dispatch of 200,000 troops soon attracted the attention of the enemy forces near Wushan. They focused all their attention on the food and grass on Wushan Mountain. When they saw that the enemy troops had indeed sent troops to rush to the direction of the main camp, the general's heart was filled with confusion.
It's a joy.
If we don’t attack Wushan now, when will we wait?
But the general never expected that Cao Cao had laid a dragnet in Wushan, waiting for them to get in.
At the beginning of the Xu period, due to the favorable season and location, it was not yet dark.
But the sun is almost setting over the mountain.
In the vast expanse of the sky, that huge flaming cloud was as scarlet as blood.
It seems to indicate that the largest war in history is breaking out on the human land today.
The Tang army waited for the Wei army to march for a full hour before they dared to attack Wushan, because they were afraid that the Wei army would set up an ambush.
The general responsible for attacking Wushan is called Lin Jiang, a young general whom the Emperor of Tang recently wanted to support.
This person's talent is not weaker than Deng Qi's, but he is far less stable than Deng Qi.
When he ordered the entire army to attack Wushan, a deputy general made a confused voice, "General? The general always feels that there is something fishy about this matter. Do you want to wait and see?"
He had concerns in his heart.
Even if you want to return to the main camp to aid, you have to do it as soon as possible.
It took more than an hour from the direction of the Wei army's camp to the Tang army's camp. However, four hours had passed since the camp was captured. Why did the Wei army choose to send troops at this time? Instead of when they learned the news?
Just preparing to send troops?
Could it be that Wei Jun has just received the news?
impossible.
The Wei army's response was not so slow? Moreover, in order to fight this battle, the Wei army put a large number of scouts on this land.
Even if no one takes the initiative to ask for help from Cao Cao? Is it a scout hiding in the dark or a member of the enemy's Jin Yiwei? They will definitely spread the news to Wushan as soon as possible.
But now Wei Jun has just made some moves.
It's really weird.
Perhaps it was Lin Jiang who was eager to achieve great results, so he said bluntly: "Do you know why you are only a deputy general now? It is because you have too many worries about looking forward and backward. Under my command, I hope you will not be like this."
The general shut up and said nothing.
He was originally Deng Qi's deputy general.
Unfortunately, bad luck has prevented him from being sealed.
During the battle at Niutoushan, he advised Deng Qi not to rest on his laurels, but he was wrong.
He was so ashamed that he left Deng Qi.
Now when I came to a new general, my suggestions didn't seem to work.
Could it be that I was wrong this time?
He doesn't believe that he can't be wrong every time.
Perhaps because he has been with Deng Qi for a long time, he has gained some stability and caution. Just like this time, he gave advice not to rush forward.
This time, he was right.
But the general's final decision was incorrect.
So, I suffered a big loss.
Two hundred thousand troops poured into Wushan, but they found that there was nothing here.
Not to mention a human figure, not even a grain of rice was seen.
Isn't Wushan the food and grass base camp of the Wei army?
The information is wrong?
Just when he was about to retreat, he panicked.
At the foot of the mountain, there are densely packed enemy troops.
The 200,000 Tang troops were surrounded by water.
Densely packed arrows fell from the sky.
They are all rockets.
On the top of Wushan Mountain, even a weed was poured with fire oil by Cao Cao.
For the Wei army, it was not too late to retreat at this time. Even if the fire broke out, as long as they rushed down the mountain in one go, the 200,000 troops could always rush out.
However, from the middle of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, Cao Cao had set up various traps.
It can be said without hesitation that Cao Cao tricked Lin Jiang alive.
Zhao Changqing also did this kind of thing with 100,000 against 200,000, and more than once.
Among all the battlefields, the easiest one belongs to Yue Fei.
He didn't know what was going on. Anyway, even when attacking the city and fortifying the stronghold, the number of enemy troops he encountered was very small.
In just six hours, he had already captured three cities.
Things went extremely smoothly.
The total number of enemy troops encountered was less than 500,000.
No, probably not even 300,000.
Where have all the large numbers of city defenders gone?
He couldn't figure it out, but he always felt that there was a conspiracy in this matter.
Therefore, instead of destroying the city and taking out the stronghold, he mobilized 500,000 troops, led by Li Cunxiao, and rushed to the main battlefield to help His Majesty.
No matter where the missing city defenders went, there is definitely no problem in letting the army go directly to the main battlefield to help you.
On the main battlefield.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ordered the entire army to retreat.
This war has been going on till now, and victory is only one step away. Zhao Changqing will naturally not let them go.
So, he led the army and continued to chase the enemy.
Bai Qi and others persuaded him that it was enough to fight the war now, and it was better not to pursue the poor enemy.
Zhao Changqing thinks it makes sense.
So, he let the army continue to chase the Tang army...
Just kidding, it's not easy to get a chance to get rid of it once and for all. Even if there is an ambush ahead, you can't miss this opportunity.
As long as we can get close to the Emperor of Tang and kill him, the war will be over.
Zhao Yun took the initiative to ask for help, hoping to lead a group of cavalry to quickly catch up with the enemy.
But Zhao Changqing was afraid that it would be dangerous if he went deep alone, so he refused.
