Eight hundred and twentieth chapters stone mountain war
Chapter 823: War on Stone Mountain
Now that we have figured it out, there is no need to hesitate. We definitely cannot bring the surrendered troops with us, but it would be a pity to lose them, so we have to do this.
"Then I might as well stay in Xiling and preside over it."
After hearing Cao Cao's arrangements, Xun Yu thought for a moment and decided to stay in Xiling and take charge of the overall situation.
"No, you can't stay in Xiling. If this is Yuan Shu's plan and his troops attack Xiling, it will be difficult to resist here. You'd better go north with me."
Cao Cao shook his head. If he fell into Yuan Shu's trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, then Xiling would definitely become the target. If Xun Yu was here, it would be dangerous.
"But I'm afraid that if I leave, these surrendered soldiers will rebel."
Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao with a trace of worry in his eyes.
"It's okay. Five thousand soldiers and horses are enough to suppress them. As long as we can win this battle, then everything is not a problem. If we lose Xiling, it will be over. But you can't allow any mistakes, do you understand?"
Cao Cao still disagreed and just surrendered some troops. Cao Cao didn't mind, but he couldn't let anything go wrong with Xun Yu.
"Okay, Xun Yu understands."
After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xun Yu also nodded. In that case, let's go.
"Well, let's go our separate ways."
"promise."
Soon the soldiers and horses in Xiling City were mobilized, and then Cao Cao led 70,000 troops directly out of Xiling and slowly marched north.
Time passed day by day, Yuan Shu continued to march towards Suixian County at a very fast pace, and although Ma Chao strangled him with all his strength, news continued to be sent to Yuan Shao. After receiving the news, Yuan Shao also ran all the way north along the river of death.
Yan Liang and the others squatted in the stone mountain for a long time, and finally found Yuan Shao.
"General, we have found traces of the enemy."
A scout rushed to Yan Liang and excitedly reported the news to him.
"Finally here, how long are they still away from us?"
Yan Liang stood up suddenly and asked about the whereabouts of scout Yuan Shao.
"There are still thirty miles. According to their marching speed, they will arrive tomorrow at most."
The scout immediately told Yuan Shao's location.
"Thirty miles?
Order the entire army to be prepared and ready to attack at any time."
"promise."
Yuan Shao's army marched at a slow pace, and passed several dangerous places along the way without any danger, which also made Yuan Shao feel relieved.
"The whole army passed quickly."
The next day, Yuan Shao's army finally arrived outside Stone Mountain. Looking at the mountain conditions that were not very tall and dense, Yuan Shao directly ordered to speed up and pass.
"Sir, will the enemy ambush us here?
How about sending troops to investigate."
After hearing Yuan Shao's words, Sun Jian frowned.
"No, you saw it on the way here. There are so many dangerous mountains and suitable places for ambush. There are no enemies to ambush. This place is not suitable at first glance. Are all Yuan Shu's generals idiots?"
Yuan Shao shook his head. If Yuan Shu's general gave up such a good place to ambush him and instead ambush him in this stone mountain, he would be a fool.
Are there any idiots under Yuan Shu?
Obviously not,
Without a fool, there would be no ambush here. Now it would take half a day to explore. He was in a hurry to return to Suixian County and had no time to waste here.
"But."
After listening to Yuan Shao's words, Sun Jian also hesitated for a while, but he must be cautious when marching and fighting. You can't just send people to explore just because this place is not suitable.
"No need to but, pass quickly."
Yuan Shao flatly refused and Sun Jian spoke again.
"promise."
Sun Jian waved his hand and rushed into Stone Mountain first, while the rest of the army followed Sun Jian and advanced together.
"Don't alert the enemy, let their vanguard go over, and we'll hit their main force."
Seeing the enemy's troops coming in, Yan Liang suppressed his hand, signaling to let go of the vanguard and focus on attacking Yuan Shao's main force of the Chinese army.
Soon, Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Han Dang passed through Stone Mountain safely under some precautions, while Yuan Shao's main force felt relieved when they saw that Sun Jian and the others were fine and began to cross the mountain.
"Twenty thousand people have passed."
Wen Chou looked at Yuan Shaojun who was walking by, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Wait a minute, the battle will begin later. Gao Shun and Dian Wei will lead the guards and the trapped troops to block the mountain pass and block their vanguard troops from going out. Wen Chou and Xu Huang will be left with me and the remaining troops to disperse them.
It would be great if we could capture Yuan Shao."
Yan Liang looked at Yuan Shaojun, who was advancing at a rapid pace, and directly arranged the next combat mission.
"clear."
"knew."
Gao Shun and Dian Wei nodded, and Yan Liang assigned the most important task to himself. They must know that once the enemy's forward discovers that there is a change in the valley, they will definitely launch a counterattack at all costs. Only if they block the enemy can the smooth battle in the valley be guaranteed.
conduct.
"Then prepare, wait for them to pass ten thousand troops and start killing."
"promise."
Time passed little by little, and as 30,000 Yuan troops crossed the mountain, Yan Liang appeared directly.
"kill."
As Yan Liang roared, countless soldiers and horses appeared on the top of the mountain, and the arrow rain fell directly on Yuan Shao's army in the valley like a heavy rain.
"Protect the lord."
Yuan Shao's bodyguards who unexpectedly attacked Yuan Shao reacted immediately, with shields appearing one after another and surrounding him inside.
Although the personal guards reacted quickly, the other soldiers and horses were a little confused. They were shot down in a pool of blood before they knew what was going on.
In an instant, the valley turned into a Shura field, filled with dead bodies and wailing soldiers lying in a pool of blood.
"Go ahead."
"kill."
"For the Jizhou Army."
Gao Shun and Dian Wei were the first to rush to the valley entrance with their trapped troops and guards. Their task was very important, to block the 30,000 troops outside the valley.
After Gao Shun dispatched, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Xu Huang also led the remaining troops and rushed down the mountain like tigers descending from the mountain, and began to divide and fight against Yuan Shao's troops.
"Quick, get out."
Seeing the situation in front of him, Yuan Shao was also confused. How could there be an ambush by Yuan Shu here? How could there be an ambush here?
Yuan Shao gave the order, and the initially dazed soldiers and horses reacted instantly, and Sayazi began to retreat back. However, when the soldiers and horses outside the mountain heard the shouts of killing inside, they also rushed in recklessly, one after the other.
They collided directly and turned into a mess.
"Kill, kill for me."
Yan Liang rushed from the mountain to Yuan Shao's army. He swung the sword in his hand and chopped off several soldiers in front of him. Then he slashed diagonally and cut the soldiers next to him in half again.
The same goes for Wen Chou. The iron spear is like a soul-catching scythe. Every one of the soldiers in front of him will be stabbed to death with one shot.
Compared to the two of them, Xu Huang was the most explosive. The mountain-breaking ax was originally a heavy weapon. After he swung it, he kept away from strangers. All the surrounding soldiers were chopped into bloody pieces and could not be seen.
"No, there's an ambush. Follow me and fight back."
Hearing the shouts of killing in the valley, Sun Jian couldn't help but frown, and turned around with Sun Ce and Han Dang, wanting to rush into the valley and rescue Yuan Shao.
"Crossbow arrows, release."
Gao Shun roared loudly, and two thousand powerful crossbows were instantly activated. Locust-like crossbow arrows streaked through the void, directly sweeping the soldiers in front of him into a sieve.
"Shield, shield, raise your shield and charge in."
Seeing that the enemy was on guard, Sun Jian directly ordered the shield men to step forward and continue the attack.
"Archer, throw."
Seeing the enemy's shield raised, Gao Shun directly ordered the archers to release arrows.
Countless bows and arrows flew out directly, and then fell like raindrops on Sun Jian's soldiers and horses.
