At the foot of Linle Mountain, the battle of Cizi Camp was successful.
Xia Houyuan's troops were beaten like a duck by the Cizi camp, and they were defeated.
The mountain road leading to Linle Mountain was littered with corpses of Cao Jun. The further they fled into the mountains, the fewer corpses there were on the roadside.
The Second Master Taishi did not send his troops to pursue Linle Mountain and carry out a genocidal extermination of Xiahou Yuan's tribe.
First, Xia Houyuan's tribe had been hiding in the mountains for at least half a month, and their familiarity with the terrain was far better than that of Ciziying who had just arrived.
The second is that the Cizi Camp is a heavy cavalry with heavy cavalry as its main combat force, supplemented by a large number of light cavalry as a mobile force. It can gallop in the plains and be invincible, and it can be invincible in the winding mountain roads and old forests.
Among them, in addition to increasing casualties, it is almost impossible to expand the results.
Therefore, the Second Master Taishi only went into the mountain to pursue and kill him for less than half an hour, then he called for gold and withdrew his troops, occupying the Linle Mountain military camp built by Cao Jun.
Cao's army was devastated by being killed in this battle. Ciziying had stopped pursuing them, but they still did not dare to stop their escape. They dropped their swords and guns and tore off their armor, just to run faster and easier.
Cao Xiu was severely defeated by Zhou Cang. As soon as he returned to the main formation, he fell from his horse with a thump and fell to the ground unconscious.
It was all thanks to Xia Houyuan, regardless of his own injuries, that he protected Cao Xiu from the encirclement and got rid of Lin Jun's pursuit.
He fled into the depths of Linle Mountain in one breath, until the horse under his crotch was snorting and drooling, and then he had to rein in the horse. With the help of his guards, he rolled off the saddle and landed on the ground to rest.
Xia Houyuan pushed away the personal guards who were trying to help him bandage the wound on his head, and took a few steps to approach Cao Xiu.
Cao Xiu's mouth and nose were covered with dark black blood scabs, and his complexion was sallow and bloodless, but his breathing was relatively steady. It looked like he had only suffered internal injuries from the enemy general, and there was no immediate danger for his life.
Seeing that Cao Xiu was fine, Xia Houyuan sat down on the stone next to Cao Xiu and closed his eyes with a cold face.
He let his personal guards clean the wound on his head and then bandaged it carefully.
After a long silence, Xia Houyuan said to the military counselor beside him: "I said, you record it and prepare to write a letter to the prime minister explaining the situation."
"Yes, General."
Xia Houyuan described the battle of Lin Leshan in detail in 1510, trying not to give Prime Minister Cao wrong guidance.
Since he followed Cao Dabai Lian and raised his army, he has never been defeated on the battlefield. He has always been very critical of the Prime Minister's unwarranted increase in the combat power of Lin's army.
Today's battle between the two armies extinguished the little spark of pride that had just arisen in his heart with a splash of urine.
The Prime Minister usually did not exaggerate the actual combat power of Lin's army, but was actually a little too conservative.
Let’s not talk about others for now, just hit
The sword-wielding general who defeated him can be regarded as a top military general like the God of War on the battlefield. However, this person does not have a good reputation. Until now, Xia Houyuan cannot think of anyone in the Lin camp who matches the red-faced general.
image of.
I originally expected to defeat Cizi Camp in one battle, but I didn't even see Taishi Ci's face, so I almost became a ghost under the sword.
The more he thought about it, the more useless he felt, and the less he wanted to see the Prime Minister again, Xia Houyuan took out his sword and wiped his neck with it, but it was all over.
It also saves you from being laughed at and humiliated by the other generals after you return to Shanyang County.
The reason why Xun You and others planned this Taishan battle was to strike hard at Lin Feng, to defeat Lin Feng once and for all, and to create peace for at least three years, so as to buy enough time for Cao's army to move south.
Of the three armies that sneaked into Taishan County, the other two were all powerful forces. Only Xia Houyuan's assistant was Cao Xiu, the rookie of the Cao family. Cao Dabailian was once worried that Xia Houyuan and Taishi Ci would not be able to cope with one on one.
, but Xia Houyuan did not take Taishi Ci seriously.
In Xia Houyuan's view, Tai Shi Ci only rose to the upper echelons of the Pingyuan generals group through nepotism, relying on his status as Lin Feng's sworn brother. His actual combat prowess should not be anything special. Meeting him, Xia Hou Miaocai, would not be the same.
An egg is like a stone, it breaks into pieces when touched.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two armies fought, it turned out that he, Xia Houyuan, was the one playing the role of the egg. Ciziying was not only as solid as a rock, but also had a strong desire to attack.
There was no courtesy at all, and it was a thunderous frontal blow. Xia Houyuan still hasn't calmed down yet.
But Xia Houyuan didn't know that he was not the only general defeated by Lin's army. His brother Xia Houdun joined forces with General Cao Ren, and he was chased by Lin Feng like a dog chasing a duck in the dense valley jungle of Yuan Mountain without caring about his head.
He hid in all directions.
While the two lurking armies were defeated by Lin Feng, the other Cao army had also fought against Yunziying.
The third route of Cao's army was formed by Cao Hong and Yu Jin, two other members of the Five Hussars.
The relationship between Cao Hong and Cao Dabailian is closer than that of Cao Ren.
Cao Ren is just a pale-faced ancestral brother, which means that although they both come from the Cao family, they only have the same great-grandfather.
Cao Hong is Da Bailian's younger brother. Their grandfathers are the same person, and they are brothers of the same clan.
However, in terms of talent, Cao Ren is much better than Cao Hong. Therefore, in terms of ranking among the five hussars, Cao Ren is above Cao Hong.
Cao Hong has always been unconvinced by Cao Ren.
Of course, there is definitely a healthy competition between the two. After all, there are no two words for Cao in one sentence. Internal strife is something that a wise man will not do.
At the beginning of the planning of the Taishan Campaign, the leaders of the three armies were initially designated as Xiahou Dun and Xia Houdun respectively.
Hou Yuan and Cao Ren.
Later, before the implementation, Dabailian was worried that Xiahou Dun's troops were not strong enough, so he urgently mobilized Cao Ren and his troops to help. After all, what they had to deal with was the Zhongzi Battalion, which was known as the main force of the Lin Army. No matter how cautious it was, no one could be too cautious.
.
Cao Ren was transferred from the third line, and Yu Jin came to partner with Cao Hong. The former enemy command of the third line fell to Cao Hong.
After Cao Hong and Yu Jin met, they discussed how to fight this battle countless times. The most important thing was to let others see that they were not weaker than others. The so-called five hussars were equal titles.
The rankings are in no particular order.
The Yunzi Battalion was a newly formed legion within the Lin Army. Unlike the Zhongzi Battalion, it had fought in almost all the wars that Lin Feng had started.
It is not like Cizi Camp, which repeatedly performed meritorious deeds in the small-scale conflicts that occasionally broke out between Qingzhou and Xuzhou, causing the Xuzhou soldiers to flee at the flag.
Yunzi Camp had almost no impressive achievements. The information obtained from Cao's camp was that Zhao Yun was Huang Zhong's deputy commander before. As his territory continued to expand, he transferred Zhao Yun away from Zhongzi Camp and established Yunzi independently.
camp.
According to the detailed reports from Cao's army scattered all over Lin Feng's territory, Zhao Yun has always been known for his bravery and invincibility since he joined Lin Feng's camp. He has never shown any talent in marching and formation, and has never had the experience of independently leading an army to victory on the battlefield.
Based on this, Cheng Yu concluded that Lin Feng was just a nepotist. In order to control the troops under his command to the greatest extent, he did not hesitate to appoint brave and sworn brothers, and refused to give a chance to Guo Tu and others who were under the command of Yuan Benchu, the Jizhou general.
Therefore, Cao Hong and Yu Jin did not plan to attack head-on and engage in a one-on-one duel with Zhao Yun.
They know clearly that they are not opponents, and they are not addicted to abuse. Only fools will focus on the enemy's strengths.
Nanwu Yangcheng continued northward and passed through the Mengshan area. According to Cheng Yu's original plan, Cao Hong and Yu Jin should lead his troops to ambush in the Mengshan Mountains and wait for Zhao Yun to lead his troops to pass by.
After the two of them had been lying in wait in Mengshan for a while, Yu Jin first discovered something was wrong.
Although Mengshan has deep valleys and dense forests, which is indeed very suitable for setting up an ambush, it has fatal flaws.
That was such a suitable place for an ambush. Even if Zhao Yun was famous for his bravery and was not a wise general, he would not easily step into Meng Mountain.
Either trade time for safety, bypass Mengshan and fight to Liangfu County, or take every step carefully and send more vanguards to get good news in advance, so there is no risk of being ambushed.
Cao Hong also kept chewing his teeth.
Between Nanwu Yangcheng and Liangfu County, except for the terrain in Mengshan Mountain that is suitable for ambush, the rest of the area is plain and flat. Not only is there no danger to rely on, but there is also no city to defend.
If Mengshan fails to surprise the Yunzi camp, the two armies will face off against each other, and Cao Hong is not sure that he can take over Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong.
