Chapter 108 The Battle of Two Hundred Thousand Soldiers and Horses
() Li Yan is very capable in the situation, is capable in doing things, and has the first-class ability to lead troops. He and Gao Lan fight against each other, but it is too late, so he can only call the gold to withdraw his troops.
After this battle, both sides had some understanding of each other's strength. Liu Qi had long heard that Cao's Qingzhou soldiers were brave and good at fighting. Now he received news from Wei Yan, and it was indeed worthy of his reputation! Xu Huang led three thousand Qingzhou soldiers to fight fiercely.
The attack caused Liu Pi was unable to fight back. Part of it was the reason for the surprise attack, but more of the ordinary soldiers who were far superior to Liu Pi's strength in various battles.
Cao's army had at least tens of thousands of Qingzhou soldiers. In the Guandu battle, they defeated Yuan Shao and became famous all over the world. Now Cao Cao brought Jingzhou to fight Liu Qi, which put a lot of pressure on Liu Qi. Then there were the troops from various units in Xuzhou, Yanzhou.
But it was also the main force of the Cao army. The rest was Yuan Shao's surrendered army. In the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao captured Yuan Shao's retreat - Wuchao, burning down the food and grass of hundreds of thousands of Yuan Shao's army. As a result, Yuan's army's hundreds of thousands of troops were
After separation and collapse, most of them surrendered to Cao Cao. Yuan Shao and his son Yuan Tan fled to Yecheng only had 800 cavalrymen.
Only in this way can Cao Cao take out a 200,000 army and use the power of the world to attack Jingzhou. The troops in Jingzhou have been governed by Liu Qi, Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang and others in the past few days, but they are still slightly inferior to the soldiers in Qingzhou.
One step ahead.
Here we have to talk about the division of soldiers' ranks. Generals have the grades of military generals, and soldiers also have the grades of soldiers. If the combat power of ordinary soldiers is one, the old and weak are zero-eight; strong are 10-5; sharp are 2, that is
One can beat two; one is five in a hundred battles; tiger is ten. It does not mean that a person can beat more than ten people, but rather from the perspectives of personal combat effectiveness, experience on the battlefield, cooperation between people, etc.
of.
When Cao Cao saw that Liu Qi's Jingzhou soldiers had a great strength, he put down the battle report from Xu Huang and said, "It's really a Qilin son! If Zhang Liao and others were not transferred here, it would be really hard to fight."
Yuan Shao has been defeated by Cao Cao, and except for Liu Qi in Jingzhou, no one is Cao Cao's opponent. Guo Jia knew that he was not much, so he cleared the obstacles to unification of the world for the lord before he died. As for the rest
Ma Teng, Han Sui, Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and others are not worth mentioning.
"Liu Qi has installed beacon towers in every city, and there is one every ten miles along the river. There are dozens of soldiers on the beacon tower. No matter where we attack, we are afraid we cannot escape Liu Qi's eyes and ears. We can only fight against Liu Qi in Wancheng.
." Guo Jia's pale face was a bit morbid and analyzed for Cao Cao. Is this Cao Cao still not determined to fight Liu Qi to the death, after all, this is all Cao Cao's troops. They have been consumed here, afraid
It was Cao Cao who couldn't bear to let it go. In order to clear Liu Qi's last obstacle, it was time to add a fire.
"Now it is a complete defeat of Liu Qi in Wancheng in one go. Once Liu Qi is defeated, all the princes in the world will surrender to their lords. If they wait for Liu Qi to grow stronger, it will be too late to regret it!" Guo Jia coughed and persuaded with a heartfelt word.
Seeing that his chief adviser supported the decisive battle, Cao Cao also agreed with his own wishes. He couldn't help but nodded and said, "When the Zhang Liao army arrives, he will fight to the death with Liu Qi." With his words, he was full of domineering and short body,
It seems to have Pangu's spirit of standing tall and upright.
Cao Cao made up his mind to fight decisively, but things never develop in the same way as he thought. The war changes unpredictably and no one can fully expect them.
Cao Cao was preparing to fight Liu Qi to the decisive battle, and at the same time ordered Ma Teng and Han Sui and others to attack the city with all their might. The envoy led him to reveal a meaning: You have offended Liu Qi anyway. If you don't attack hard, then you will be even
I, Cao, offended me.
Ma Teng naturally had a bad face when he received such a letter. However, the envoy also brought another letter. It was Cao Cao's private message, which stated that if he had broken through Liu Qi, he would be the richest in Jingzhou, Nanyang, Xiangyang and Jiangling.
The three counties were given to them. At the same time, they were granted the title of Ma Tenghan Sui and the General of Cavalry, and the General of the Cavalry was ranked among the three Dukes. They were granted the title of County Hou, and had a fief of thousands of households. They were not a problem with Guangzong and the ancestors. Then the wine, meat and cloth rewarded to the soldiers were also transported.
Come here, the Han and Qiang people living in the barren land were glowing.
,,,
"Mad, these grandchildren have not been able to take gunpowder, they are so angry! They still didn't work hard a few days ago, and they were just trying to make some sense. These days, they are like crazy, and they are struggling to attack the city every day! If this continues,
, I'm afraid I can't hold on anymore." Ding Feng couldn't help it and cursed.
Since receiving Cao Cao's letter, Ma Teng really couldn't stand the temptation. This was a three-month man. Isn't that guy Yuan Shao just like the three-month man in his family who was so proud of him? The warlords of Xiliang could not stand the temptation of Cao Cao,
He began to attack the city with all his strength, attacking Shangyong and Wudang. For a moment, the pressure on Lu Xun and Ding Feng and others doubled.
Seeing the stalemate of the war in the west, Liu Qi finally couldn't sit still and was afraid of anything he was afraid of. He hurriedly asked Pang Tong for advice. This was not good-looking and even a little ugly, but even Zhuge Liang sometimes couldn't compare with his military insights.
"The only way to retreat and make plans!" Pang Tong said with his hand on his chin.
"Let them hold on for half a month first, and after half a month, it will be the time for our army to fight against Cao Cao."
The military advisor offered wine, and at this time he agreed, "This is an open conspiracy and Liu Qi is not easy to untie it." Cao Cao used the emperor to command the princes and would have the advantage in justice. Otherwise, Liu Qi would not be so passive."
"If it really doesn't work, I will draw Zhang Fei's troops to help them, which is considered to be demolishing the east and the west walls. But lord doesn't have to worry. With General Kuai Yue here, Ma Teng and others will have no chance to take advantage of." Pang Tong said,
At this time, everyone will be worried. As a minister, you must stand up and solve the problems of the lord.
Jia Xu said slowly, which surprised Liu Qi and said in surprise: "Can this work work?"
"Zhuge Liang's talent is not as good as Guan Zhong and Leyi back then, so there will naturally be no mistakes. Rest assured," Jia Xu seemed to be more confident than Zhuge Liang, and he was still optimistic about this serious and responsible young man.
"Shi Yuan, what do you think?" Liu Qi still asked Pang Tong's suggestions in a habit.
"Lord, I think this matter is feasible!" Pang Tong nodded.
"Okay, then do it this way, and I will pass on the military order of my general immediately." Seeing that both of his two major advisers agreed, Liu Qi stopped complaining. He agreed immediately and immediately wrote the military order.
Kuai Yue judged the situation and transferred Zhang Fei's troops to support Ding Feng. At the same time, he ordered Lu Xun to gather the defense line, abandon Shangyong, and return to Fangling City to guard. Ma Teng's army fought and advanced, gradually deepening into the boundary of Jingzhou.
