The rumbling war drums were powerful and passionate, soaring into the sky. Under the bright golden sun, the bright swords in the hands of all the soldiers shone brightly and were extremely dazzling.
Outside Cao Cao's camp, the army was displayed.
Wang Can rode his horse and stood in front of the military formation, watching Cao Cao's camp carefully.
The place where the camp is set up is usually in an open area, where you can advance or retreat, and it must not be attacked by fire or flooded, so the area around the camp is very wide. Wang Can led the army to stop outside, but had no intention of attacking Cao Cao's camp.
, he just wanted Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and other generals to fight and attract Cao Cao's attention.
The sound of war drums caused Cao Ying's soldiers to gather quickly and stand ready in the camp.
Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai, Xia Houyuan and other generals ran out quickly. The group stood in the camp and looked at the army outside the camp, showing doubts.
For several days, the two sides were in peace and did not send troops.
However, Wang Can suddenly led his troops outside Cao Cao's camp, which puzzled Cao Cao. As the army was stationed outside, Cao Cao had no time to think about other things, so he asked: "Zhicai, Wang Can suddenly led his troops outside.
Come, see what he plans to do? This guy is cunning, you must not be deceived by him."
Xi Zhicai frowned slightly and said: "My lord, six days are enough for Wang Can's army to rest and recuperate. You can see that Zhao Yun's dilapidated military camp has restored its original number. It is obvious that soldiers have just been selected from the army.
The vacancies in the broken military camp have been filled, and now that the army has recovered, Wang Can will of course rush to lead the troops to fight without giving the lord a chance to recover."
Cao Cao thought about it and felt that Wang Can would not be so simple, but in a hurry, Cao Cao couldn't figure out Wang Can's purpose.
After a pause, Cao Cao continued: "The sword chariot has not yet been completed, and Wang Can has led his troops. How should we deal with it?"
Xi Zhicai's expression changed, with a solemn look on his face.
Immediately, Xi Zhicai looked at Wang Can's army carefully and said: "My lord, the generals under Wang Can's command are all fierce warriors of the world, with superb martial arts. Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun are even more powerful. Except for General Xu Chu, the three of them
His martial arts skills are more tyrannical than all the generals under my lord's command and are difficult to resist."
Cao Cao was stunned and said: "Should Zhong Kang be allowed to fight?"
When he said this, Cao Cao shook his head and did not agree.
His general Xiahou Dun had already had an arm cut off. If Xu Chu had another mistake, his losses would be too great. Cao Cao would rather be a tortoise for the time being and endure it for a few days. After the sword chariot is built, he can give it to Wang Can.
It was a 'surprise', and I was unwilling to send Xu Chu to fight alone, as that would be too dangerous.
Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "My lord, you have misunderstood the meaning of the humble position. The humble position means that we cannot defeat Wang Can in a battle, so we will change our strategy and fight with Wang Can!"
"Fighting formation?"
After hearing this, Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Zhicai, Wang Can has a capable person like Guo Jia under his command. He must know the military formations. It is not easy to fight in the formations!"
Since Jia Xu and Li Ru rarely appear, they are not known to most people.
Even Cao Cao only knew Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and Xun You.
Xi Zhicai was full of confidence and said with a smile: "Lord, we are not here to defeat Wang Can, but to delay time so that Wang Can cannot defeat us, thereby giving the soldiers in the army enough time to make the knife cart. As long as the knife cart is made
After that, the lord can lead his troops to fight Wang Can in a decisive battle, use the sword and chariot to attack in one fell swoop, and defeat Wang Can's army."
Cao Cao said: "Okay, I will go all out and compete with Wang Can."
Xi Zhicai continued: "There are many generals in the army who are familiar with formations, such as General Miaocai, General Mancheng, and General Wen Qian. As long as there are usable formations, you can try them. My lord, don't worry too much."
Cao Cao laughed loudly and said, "Let's go meet Wang Can for a while."
The group of people discussed the countermeasures in the camp and then walked outside the camp.
Cao Cao rode out and shouted: "Wang Can, in the battle a few days ago, your general Huang Zhong cut off an arm of Xiahou Dun. Today you have led your troops to challenge me again. You have clearly come to humiliate me on purpose!"
As soon as this sentence was uttered, all the officers and soldiers in the army were furious.
Youdao is the master who humiliates his ministers to death. Cao Cao was humiliated, and they were also humiliated.
After hearing this, Wang Can smiled and said: "Brother Meng De, I am not leading troops to challenge you, not to humiliate you, but to let you see the battlefield situation clearly. Your generals such as Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Xu Chu and others are vulnerable to a single blow.
, none of them are any match for my generals. Under such circumstances, why do you need to stay in Chang'an and fight against me? Why don't you just lead your troops back to Yanzhou, what do you think?"
Wang Can was not embarrassed at all, but became even more serious.
Cao Cao himself admitted that he couldn't do it, so Wang Can added fuel and jealousy to him and made him more angry.
Angry! Excited!
What the hell is this? In the face of absolute strength, all means are useless. Wang Can led the barracks and the army, and had no intention of taking the initiative to attack, so he was not afraid of Cao Cao. Wang Can said something,
The soldiers behind him laughed even more and looked at Cao Cao jokingly.
At this time, Cao Cao was stared at by soldiers one by one, attracting everyone's attention.
Such a look is not admiration, but ridicule.
He clenched his steel teeth, his face turned livid, and roared: "Wang Can, if you have the ability, come over here. Let me see how capable you are!" Cao Cao breathed heavily and his chest heaved up and down.
Obviously, Wang Can's words touched his weak point.
After Wang Can heard this, he shook his head. He angered Cao Cao to make Cao Cao lose his mind, but he would not do it because it was not the time yet.
When Cao Cao saw that Wang Can was silent, he snorted coldly. The army was encamped here, and Cao Cao did not think that Wang Can dared to send cavalry to charge. The reason was that the cavalry under Zhao Yun had been trapped by Xi Zhicai's design, so Cao Cao was sure
Wang Can will not order the army to charge.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt proud again.
So what if Wang Can is powerful? His army is stationed here, but Wang Can can only stare. Cao Cao shouted: "Wang Can, you led troops to fight, but you didn't send troops. Why is this?"
Wang Can's expression did not change and he immediately said: "I have led the troops to challenge you, but you want to be a coward. What can I do?"
When Cao Cao heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
He thought for a moment and decided to fight Wang Can in order to stabilize Wang Can.
In fact, Cao Cao could stay in the camp and ignore Wang Can's army. However, Wang Can was too arrogant and kept beating the war drum outside the camp, clamoring for a fight. If he avoided fighting, it would definitely have an impact on the morale of the army, and everyone would be beaten home.
If they don't fight at the door, the morale of the army will definitely be affected.
Cao Cao shouted: "Wang Can, when the two armies are fighting, how can we stick to fighting generals? Today I will fight with you."
"Fighting formation?"
After Wang Can heard this, he said loudly: "Mengde, just put up your battle array and I will break it!"
