Shen Chen made a complete set of plans for Cao Jun.
He actually didn't know which cities Cao's army had attacked when attacking Nanyang in history.
But a little analysis should make it clear that Huyang will definitely be attacked.
If Cao Cao wanted to attack Wancheng and eliminate Zhang Xiu, he would have to divide his troops to intercept Liu Biao's reinforcements, regardless of whether Zhang Xiu surrendered or not.
Huyang, Dengxian, Fancheng, and Caiyang were cities heavily guarded by Liu Biao.
Unless Cao Cao has no military ability and just sits back and watches Liu Biao's army gather to attack him, otherwise he will definitely strike first and drive back the reinforcements.
So after taking this into consideration, the next thing will be much easier to handle. Since you think that Huyang will be attacked, you have to think about how the opponent will attack?
If Cao Jun did not attack Huangmen Pavilion and went directly to Huyang City, it would be very convenient. "Sun Tzu: Planning for Attack" said: "Therefore, the method of using troops is to surround it at ten points and attack it at five points."
Siege the city ten times, and then attack five times. Unless Cao Jun dispatches 50,000 troops, Gan and Ning's 5,000 men will be more than enough to defend Huyang.
When Cao Cao's army failed to attack Huyang for a long time and suffered heavy casualties, Huangmen Pavilion's 1,500 men moved in full force, plus Gan Ning's 5,000 men and horses. If they cooperated inside and outside, they would be able to defeat Cao's army.
And if Cao Jun lost his mind and thought that it would be easy to defeat Huangmen Pavilion, then Qionglong and the tunnel would become Cao Jun's nightmare and plunge them into a quagmire.
In order to prevent Cao Jun from being aware of it prematurely, Gan Ning's troops could not move lightly. It was not until he was sure that Cao Jun had entered the valley that Shen Chen ordered the smoke to be sent out to signal Gan Ning to come over.
The battle had lasted for nearly an hour. Gan Ning's army had already been organized and rushed over immediately after seeing the signal. It happened to appear at the critical moment and blocked Cao Ren's retreat.
Seeing the enemy soldiers fighting in Huangmen Pavilion, Gan Ning shouted: "Kill, don't let a single Cao army escape!"
"Kill!"
"Go, go, go!"
"Kill the enemy and make meritorious service today."
The soldiers roared and killed.
They actually came here by running, so the current formation is - no formation.
Formation was very important in ancient battlefields. When two armies faced each other, whoever had the formation would take advantage, so there were various formations and other formations.
For example, Zhang Liao shocked Xiaoyaojin, and 800 dead soldiers used an awl formation to defeat the enemy. Under the leadership of Zhang Liao, they broke through the blockade like an awl, came to Sun Quan, and almost captured Sun Shiwan alive.
But Gan Ning's army did not have a formation, and neither did Cao's army. Moreover, they had just come down from the mountain, and few of them were intact, and there were still many wounded soldiers.
Therefore, when they suddenly saw a large number of enemy troops approaching, they were all frightened. The two groups fought and almost wanted to escape.
Only Cao Ren knew that he had no way out.
As mentioned before, the back mountain is actually included in the Huangmenting Manor. It is surrounded by walls on all sides. There are two exits in the tunnel that connect to the inside of the wall, and the remaining exits connect to the outside of the wall.
After coming down from the back mountain, a large number of Huangmenting soldiers poured out from the exits on the left and right, blocking the roads on their left and right, while Gan Ning appeared in front of the manor.
As a result, coupled with the mountains behind them, they were surrounded on all sides. Unless they could carve out a bloody path, they would be unable to escape and there would be no way out.
Seeing this situation, Cao Ren roared: "Fight to the death, fight to the death, fight to the death!"
The guards around him also shouted: "Fight to the death, fight to the death, fight to the death!"
The next second, Gan Ning collided with them.
He was on horseback and rushed in first.
The war horse galloped to the front of the formation and knocked over a soldier. Then he raised the steel sword in his hand and dropped it. With a pop, the two heads flew up at the same time.
He actually hacked two soldiers to death with one blow. Then he swung his sword left and right, slashing back and forth, deflecting several thrusting spears, and also chopped down two soldiers who were about to attack his horse to the ground.
"Bajun Ganning is here, anyone who surrenders will avoid death!"
Gan Ning rode up and shouted loudly.
"Those who surrender will avoid death!"
A sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami came from behind, overwhelming the "fight to the death" that Cao Ren had just shouted bravely.
Then Gan Ning's army crashed into Cao's army's formation like a rolling torrent.
"Wait until I kill that man."
When Cao Ren saw the enemy general coming to kill him, he knew that the man should be Gan Ning. He immediately found a war horse, jumped up and killed Gan Ning.
Gan Ning was a solitary man, looking sternly from side to side, slashing and killing indiscriminately among the crowd, killing Cao's few soldiers and frightening their morale.
However, he suddenly felt the sound of horse hooves coming from ahead, and when he raised his head again, a sharp knife struck him straight in the face.
At the critical moment, Gan Ning's waist suddenly exerted force, and his whole body fell down instantly, barely able to avoid the blow. At the same time, his waist was firmly suspended in the air. He was really proficient in the skill of this iron bridge.
But Cao Ren was not slow, and when he saw that the enemy had dodged the stab, he immediately slashed with his sword, still aiming at Gan Ning's face.
Because after Gan Ning became a captain, he became a mid-level and high-level general. He had full body armor and a helmet on his head, but only his face and neck were movable.
"when!"
There was a violent sound of metal friction, and Gan Ning blocked it with his sword.
Cao Ren changed his moves again and stabbed diagonally with his sword.
Not to be outdone, Gan Ning blocked the attack with his sword and began to fight back.
The two of them went back and forth, fighting for more than twenty rounds in an instant, but they were evenly matched.
Many people in later generations thought that Cao Ren was a commander-in-chief general who was better at marching and fighting and arranging troops, but weak in force.
In fact, his martial arts aren't that bad either.
Later, he defeated Xu Sheng and Jiang Qin alone, challenged Zhou Tai for dozens of rounds, and fought with Guan Ping. Guan Ping, who was eager to save his father, fought back.
You must know that Guan Ping can draw with Pang De, which is at a relatively high level among first-class generals, with a force value of around 93, and Cao Ren can fight Guan Ping back and forth, which is not too bad.
And judging from his record of defeating Xu Sheng and Jiang Qin and drawing with Zhou Tai, he should be a first-class goalkeeper with a force value of around 90.
Gan Ning's force value is usually benchmarked against Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao is also at the peak of the first-class military generals. With 94 points of force value, he is 1 point shy of reaching the threshold of a super first-class military commander. Therefore, Gan Ning's strength should be similar to him, or at most better than him.
A difference of 1 point.
In this way, it was almost 93 points versus 90 points. In a short period of time, there was no clear winner, but as time went on, Cao Ren felt it was difficult.
After fifty rounds, Gan Ning suddenly found the opportunity and slashed Cao Ren in the waist.
Cao Ren felt a sharp pain coming from his waist, and the armor on his body clanked. Although it blocked the blade and cut him in half, it could not stop the terrifying force.
With one strike of the knife, Cao Ren's entire body flew out, fell off his horse, and crashed into the pile of corpses nearby.
"The general is dead, the general is dead."
The soldiers of Cao's army had no intention of fighting. When they saw this scene, they thought Cao Ren was dead, and they were immediately in chaos.
Among the rebels, Cao Ren struggled to get up and was about to shout that he was not dead. The next second, several big men pounced on him, pushed him to the ground, and tied him up.
"Are you the one-eared Cao Ren?"
Gan Ning also had a piece of reed in his mouth. He had pulled it out on the way here. He had put it into his arms during the fight, and now he took it out and held it in his mouth. He looked at Cao Ren and sneered, "I don't have an ear." So ugly!”
"Let me go!"
Cao Ren's eyes were split and filled with blood.
Because he saw that after he was knocked off his horse, the surrounding Cao soldiers knelt down and surrendered. Even Chunyu Dao and Zhai Yuan knelt on the ground. Gan Ning's army had taken control of the situation, which made him extremely angry.
"My defeated general, let go of you? What qualifications do you have to ask me to let you go? Just because of your ugly ear?"
Gan Ning ridiculed that he had long heard that Cao's army massacred Xuzhou and killed many of Deng Hongchen's tribe, forcing them to move to Nanyang, and Cao Ren was one of the executioners.
Gan Ning was naturally very happy to be able to help his friends Deng Hong and Shen Chen take revenge today.
"Uncle Xingba, thank you very much."
The crowd around slowly dispersed, and Shen Chen came out holding a ring-shou steel knife produced by Huangmenting.
The steel knife was about one meter long. His eleven-year-old body looked a little uncoordinated when holding it, but he still held it seriously and stood in front of Cao Ren, looking down at him who was pressed to the ground and tied up.
"Chen Chen! Do you dare to kill me?"
Cao Ren grinned ferociously, his face stained with the blood of the corpses on the ground, staining his white teeth red.
Shen Chen wondered: "Why don't I dare to kill you!"
"If you dare to kill me, my eldest brother will lead one hundred thousand elite soldiers to crush Huangmen Pavilion."
Cao Ren roared angrily.
"oh."
Shen Chen nodded, and then.
He raised the steel knife in his hand and aimed at the back of Cao Ren's head and neck.
"I'm waiting for him in Nanyang."
Before Cao Ren died, Shen Chen said this.
Then.
The steel knife suddenly swung down.
Poof!
The feeling of entering the flesh is amazing.
It's like chopping a pork chop off a chopping board.
The sharp steel knife passed through Cao Ren's neck with almost no obstruction.
His head rolled several times on the ground, his eyes widened in anger, and he never understood why Shen Chen dared to kill him until his death.
Isn't he afraid that his eldest brother will bring tens of thousands of troops and flatten the entire Huangmen Pavilion?
However, a few seconds later, Cao Ren fell into darkness.
The faces of Cao's troops around him were ashen.
Only Shen Chen looked at the head indifferently.
This was the second time he killed someone in his life.
But it won't be the last time!
After traveling through this troubled world since Xuzhou, he finally understood that those common people at the bottom were nothing.
In the eyes of these aristocratic families, the common people are nothing more than grass and cattle.
No wonder Zhang Jiao started the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
No wonder since the end of the Han Dynasty, rebels have been like crucian carp crossing the river.
Although subsequent dynasties have portrayed these rebels as evil.
But the high-ranking dignitaries of the court.
Why don't you think about it.
If everyone had food, drink and clothing, who would rebel?
It is precisely because you regard human life as nothing but grass and the people at the bottom as pigs and dogs that they will rise up in anger and overthrow your rule.
The steel knife in Shen Chen's hand was stained with blood, and he looked through the sky.
One day.
He wants to use the knife in his hand to destroy this cannibal world!
