Chapter 138 Cao Cao is in a dilemma when entering the team
As Cao Ren announced his names, the two generals officially started a general battle in front of the two armies.
But what made Yu Jin sad and angry was that he found that he seemed to be unable to defeat Cao Ren.
Damn it, why does Cao Jun have so many powerful generals?
That Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu, and Dian Wei haven't come out yet, so I can't beat Cao Ren?
Is it because I haven’t been in battle for too long?
Or should I say? I am just suitable to be a Confucian general?
The more sad and angry Yu Jin becomes, the less rhythmic his actions become.
After struggling for more than twenty rounds, Cao Ren finally caught the flaw.
"ah!"
Being stabbed in the arm by Cao Ren, Yu Jin didn't even look back, he patted his horse and ran towards the main formation.
I swear, I will never fight with anyone in this life.
Thinking about his own achievements, Yu Jin felt sad.
It seems that, except for Pengcheng, which had no defenders, it went more smoothly at the beginning, and I seem to have lost every other battle with generals.
"How about this, General Zhendong? I'm afraid you don't have anyone left in Chu State? Ah? Hahaha!"
Yu Jin, if you can't do it, call out that Chu King of yours, Xiang Ji, because only he is worthy of being my opponent, Cao Ren!"
Anyway, if Xiang Ji is not here, if he blows hard, the news will be spread out soon, and I, Cao Ren, will become famous.
Yu Jin could only be speechless in response to Cao Ren's ridicule.
What else can you say if your skills are not as good as others?
Fortunately, the soldiers of the Chu army did not know whether it was because they had never had confidence in Jin's duel, or for some other reason. In short, their morale was not low due to Yu Jin's defeat.
When Cao Ren realized that the taunt was useless, he snorted and patted his horse and returned to the formation.
"Send the order, attack!"
As Cao Ren issued the order to attack, the flags in the hands of the messengers standing beside him suddenly swung.
Woo~~~~
The horn of attack has sounded.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Immediately, Cao Jun's rear formation also made a dull sound of war drums.
A large number of Cao's troops, under the command of the team leader, team leader, etc., began to charge towards Yu Jin's camp to the sound of drums.
"Kill!"
"Charge! Crush the enemy camp!"
Facing Cao Jun's charge, Yu Jin returned to the camp without any panic.
Are you kidding me, do you think the rejection I set up in advance is just a decoration?
"Call the order, the shield soldiers come forward.
The archers can shoot freely, let go!"
After Yu Jin gave the order, countless feathered arrows flew out of the Chu army's camp and shot at the unsuspecting Cao army's position.
"ah!"
"Be careful, be careful of the sky!"
Cao's troops continued to fall under the arrows.
Seeing this, Cao Ren immediately clapped his horse and stepped forward to stabilize the morale of the army.
However, although the Cangshan mountain road is flat, it is a mountain road after all, and its width is limited after all.
Cao Jun's 30,000 forwards could not spread out in a flat manner and could only attack in sequence. The enemy army they had to face at Yujin Camp was only a thousand men.
This put no pressure on the well-trained Chu army. With the advantage of the defenders, the Chu army even achieved a terrifying casualty ratio of nearly ten to one.
After fighting for a long time, after Chu's army wasted countless arrows and Cao's army dropped thousands of corpses, the opening battle between Chu and Cao's army came to an end.
"retreat!"
Following Cao Ren's order, Cao Jun withdrew from Cangshan in embarrassment.
"My lord, I will not be successful in the battle. Please punish me."
Cao Ren, who was defeated, was filled with grief and anger.
Obviously I am the one who wins in a one-on-one fight, but why am I not my opponent in a group fight?
After Cao Ren described the battle in detail, Cao Cao fell into deep thought.
Damn it, I didn’t expect the Chu army to defend Cangshan Mountain so tightly.
From what Cao Ren said just now, this Yu Jin seems to have made great achievements in commanding the army.
"Does anyone know if there is another way to go on this Cangshan Mountain?"
If this road doesn't work, then I'll find another way.
When he heard Cao Ren say that the Cangshan Mountain Road could only hold a battle of about a thousand people, Cao Cao knew that it would be difficult to quickly defeat the Chu army's camp.
The current situation is a race for time.
Cao Cao didn't have the slightest confidence in whether Jiangdong Sun Ce's son could resist Xiang Ji.
The only thing I can hope for is that the boy can work harder and keep Xiang Yu in Jiangdong longer.
After all, the Chu army with Xiang Ji and the Chu army without Xiang Ji are basically two levels of opponents.
From today's fighting generals alone, we can see that without Xiang Ji, I, the general of Cao's army, can do whatever he wants.
"My lord, I have been to Cangshan Mountain before, and there is indeed a road nearby that leads to Xuzhou.
However, that road is only about half as wide as the main road in Cangshan Mountain."
After Cao Cao asked the question, a general stood up behind him.
This person is Qin Qi, Cai Yang's nephew who was killed by Xiang Ji before.
"Oh? Come on, Qin Qi, I will give you three thousand men and horses. You must go quickly to find out whether the road there is clear."
And the road? It can only accommodate half of it. That is a flat road for about five hundred people? That is not too small. As long as it is smooth, it will not hinder the passage of the army at all.
Cao Cao was excited. As long as he could pass through Cangshan Mountain quickly, then the Chu Kingdom would really be free for Cao Cao's army to gallop.
Should I attack you directly at Pengcheng, or occupy your neighboring prefectures and counties? I'm afraid your Chu State defenders won't be able to deal with it, right?
At that time, if Cao makes the slightest mistake and is caught, I am afraid that Xiang Ji will have no choice but to separate himself from Jiangdong.
However, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.
After half a while.
When Cao Cao wanted to capture Pengcheng and destroy Xiang Ji, Cao Cao's troops who had been sent to explore the road fled back in embarrassment.
"What happened? Why are you so embarrassed? But you were ambushed? Where is Qin Qi?"
Facing a series of questions from Cao Cao, the defeated Cao Jun was stunned.
Finally, a corps commander stood up and answered Cao Cao's doubts.
"Lord! We are defeated, we are defeated.
The Chu army also had camps on that road.
After seeing the Chu State camp, General Qin Qi went to call for formation.
The Chu army came out to fight a big man named Zang Ba who claimed to be General Zhennan.
It was just one sword strike that killed General Qin Qi.
Seeing that the momentum was not good, we began to retreat. Unexpectedly, the Chu army came out of camp to pursue us.
Of the three thousand brothers who went on the expedition, only these came back."
Looking at the team with less than a thousand people left, the corner of Cao Cao's mouth twitched.
Okay, I didn’t even see the real owner, Cao, and I lost thousands of people?
Looking at the Cangshan Mountain in front of him, Cao Cao fell into helplessness.
Now, we are really in a dilemma.
Jin, the person commanding the Chu army was obviously a man of great ingenuity. The two Chu army camps were set up between the mountain roads of Cangshan Mountain, forming horns with each other, completely blocking the way forward for Cao Jun.
Fighting is not impossible, but the loss of this soldier and the consumption of time are really unacceptable to Cao Cao.
Retreat, let alone how long it will take to take a detour, even the Chu army will probably pursue them one after another.
