Chapter 2297 homework and unplanned war
"Father..."

Gongsun Kang looked back hesitantly, and saw the thick smoke billowing from the chaotic city of Changping, "Is it really okay for us to do this...?" 』

Gongsun Du glanced at his son, "Of course there is!But it's worth a try... Remember, nothing is perfect in this world!Everything is risky!If you walk, you may be thrown to death, and if you drink saliva, you may be choked to death!Could it be that if we follow Ding Ling, these guys won't die?snort! 』

Gongsundu suddenly mobilized and killed the Dingling people who stayed behind in Changping, and then Gongsun's actions to buy people's hearts in the past few days played a role. After the initial shock, these people were left behind by Dingling people, or "abandoned". Among the people, a split inevitably arises.

Once a split occurs, Gongsundu is not an enemy, but a choice.

Some of the slave soldiers were willing to follow Gongsun, while for the other part of the slave soldiers, Gongsun did not force them, but just told these people that Ding Lingren had gone to the north, and they chased them if they wanted to, and ran if they wanted to. for these minions...

So when Gongsundu withdrew from Changping with a group of people without saying a word, the whole Changping fell into chaos that completely lost order.The slave soldiers who had been suppressed to the extreme before went crazy, venting their animal desires in Changping City, looting everything that could be seen, and killing the only remaining Changping people...

And these slave soldiers who have fallen into madness will also become the best targets. At least until Cao Jun completely calms these chaotic slave soldiers, it must be difficult for a while to devote himself wholeheartedly to the ranks of chasing and killing Gongsun.

At the same time, in the face of the small fleeing Gongsun army and the large-scale Ding Ling army, Cao Jun will probably focus on Ding Ling. As for Gongsun, he may send a partial army to pursue him, or simply Make a show that after confirming that Gongsun and the others do not pose a threat, they will give up the pursuit.

Of course, it is also possible that Cao Jun went crazy and bit Gongsun's ass directly, and gave up Ding Lingren...

But this possibility is relatively small.

As for whether Ding Lingren will find anything abnormal, and then turn around to chase after him, then it will be even better. Gongsundu will be very happy to see Ding Lingren and Cao Jun collide head-on, and who will care when the time comes? Gongsun who is leaving?

This is Gongsundu's plan...

However, there is still a risk now.

"Send...cough cough..." Gongsun Du coughed twice. He didn't know if it was because of the wind, or some other reason. After calming down, he said again, "Send the order... the whole army will not stop. , Go straight to Lulongzhai!After Lulong, we can be considered safe! 』

That's right, the second risk is Lulongzhai.

Cao Chun occupied Lulongzhai before, but later because Gongsun voted for Dingling, it was meaningless for Cao Chun to stick to Lulongzhai in terms of military strength and strategy, because Cao Hong couldn't withstand Dingling's attack , had to retreat back, if Cao Chun is still sticking to Lulongzhai, then he may become a lone army, trapped in Lulongzhai by Dingling people...

The reason is very simple.Because Lulongzhai's biggest strategic defense is from Liaodong to Youbeiping and even Jizhou, but it has no defensive effect on the Dingling people who enter Youzhou from Juyongguan. Instead, it will be because Dingling people occupy Yuyang County and Youbeiping As a result, the retreat was cut off and contact with the large forces was lost.

Therefore, when Cao Chun got the information that the Ding Ling people were going south, and knew that Cao Hong had to retreat and adjust, he voluntarily withdrew from Lulongzhai and hid in Xuwu Mountain, avoiding the confrontation with Ding Ling's troops. Avoiding losses, of course, means that the originally closed road to western Liaoning has been reopened.

At present, Gongsun Du rushed to Lulongzhai with his troops frantically, just to seize the gap. As long as he passed through Lulongzhai, he could return to the territory of Liaodong. At that time, he, Gongsundu, would still be famous King of Liaodong!

"quick! 』

"Quicker! 』

The same words rang out from Cao Chun's mouth.

It's just that this time, even if he revisited the old road, Cao Chun couldn't get up quickly.

After encircling, it is a very simple strategy. It is a homework that every general can copy from the predecessors, but whether it can be done well is another matter...

Days of heavy rain caused the water level of the mountain stream to soar, carrying the stones and trees washed down from the upper reaches, rushing between the valleys, and some places that were passable during the dry period are now submerged.So much so that Cao Chun had to find ways to open mountains and build bridges to pass.

The water flow between the rocks and the muddy mountain roads make it quite difficult to revisit Cao Chun's hometown, not to mention cutting down trees and erecting bridges in some flooded places.

This is also the most important reason for Cao Chun's slow progress.

Xia Houyuan went to tie up the entrance of Juyongguan on the west, and Cao Chun came to do it on the east. Cao Chun underestimated the difficulty of marching in Xuwu Mountain after the heavy rain...

It's not that Cao Chun didn't predict at all, but it was beyond Cao Chun's imagination.

"quick!Hurry up! 』

Looking at his exhausted subordinates, Cao Chun was so anxious that he could only keep urging, adding to painting big cakes, and even paving roads and building bridges himself, but human power is limited after all...

Ever since, when Cao Chun ran out from Xu Wushan, he found that most of Gongsundu and others had passed through Lulongzhai, and the remaining small part disappeared after seeing Cao Jun. There was no one at all. fighting spirit.Cao Chun wanted to go after Gongsun, but for the sake of the overall strategy, he couldn't lose the position of Lulongzhai. In the end, he could only stay in Lulongzhai resentfully, and sent Cao Hong a message that his information pocket was tightened.

……d(·｀ω·d*)……

Cao Hong stood under the banner of the Chinese army, and was nearly a mile away from the front line where the battle was fought. It was not because he was timid, but because the territory required for cavalry operations was too large. For front-line combat, the special system of generals who can detect the overall changes in the details can only be like Cao Hong's current situation, a little farther away, and then stand a little higher, to control and coordinate the entire battle situation.

In fact, when he first chased Ding Ling, Cao Hong was not very calm.

Because the battle in Youbei was indeed an unplanned war.

At the beginning, Cao's false target was mainly Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun never came. Instead, various other small animals jumped into the pit, so they had no choice but to close the net, but unexpectedly, the net was closed just now. After a while, he bumped into Ding Lingren...

Then I realized that the net bag I had prepared was too small and couldn’t handle it, so I was forced to change to a larger net, but this big fish was still too big, and it was not so easy to catch...

The one who made Cao Hong most uneasy was Xia Houyuan.

Although it is said that Xia Houyuan led the army to seize Juyongguan and intercept Dingling's retreat, most of Xia Houyuan's men were newly recruited soldiers.Although these soldiers have participated in some small-scale battles to suppress bandits or bandits, most of the time the enemy in front of them is no more than a thousand, and their own side often fights against the opponent with an absolutely superior force.But now there are probably tens of thousands of Ding Ling people in front of him, and Xia Houyuan may be under a lot of pressure...

The cavalry of both sides are confronting each other head-on.

It is said to be frontal, but the characteristics of war horses will make the two sides pass by like combs crossing each other. The cavalry on horseback hold each other with weapons, chop left and right, and under such circumstances, Cao Jun with double-footed stirrups The cavalry had the upper hand.

One of the simplest reasons why the Cao family desperately opened their mouths to swallow all of them was the war horse.

People, Cao Cao has plenty, Jizhou and Yuzhou are all populous states, but war horses...

Therefore, the whole Cao family held the idea of ​​not opening for three years, opening and opening for three years, so they had to keep more of these Dingling's war horses, otherwise, what would they use to fight against the cavalry of Hussar General Fei Qian in the future?

The cavalry from both sides passed by each other, people shouted and neighed, dozens of people were stabbed with spears and knives, and knocked off their horses...

On the whole, it seems that Cao's side has the upper hand. Basically, the exchange ratio is one to three, or even better.In addition to the function of the stirrups, most of Cao Jun's cavalry are fully armored, and they even wear sleeve armor instead of leather armor. There are also a lot of metal parts inlaid on important parts. There is also a [-]% to [-]% chance that it can be stopped. After all, Cao Jun was once suppressed by Fei Qian in terms of equipment, and he seemed to be catching up.

Cao Hong watched the cavalry strangling each other, then looked back at the armored cavalry behind him, and waved his hand fiercely, "Let the cavalry forward and hit the enemy's center directly!"The infantry is moving forward, the spears and bows are ready! 』

Although Cao's cavalry had an advantage in the fight, they were still relatively small in number, so that some gaps were torn apart, but they were unable to expand the results of the battle.Faced with such a situation, Cao Hong resolutely played all the cards in his hand at once, betting that the Ding Ling on the opposite side had indigestion and couldn't eat, which would lead to the collapse of the whole line.

Ding Lingren can't quite understand why he can't beat Cao Jun's cavalry now, as if Cao Jun suddenly became overpowered, but Ding Lingren himself is soft-handed and soft-footed.In fact, the answer is very simple. Dingling people have lost their original vigor. They want to finish playing early and go home early. The current state is like a social animal in later generations. I have done some work, or called an impromptu meeting, can the morale be high?
When Cao Hong's armored cavalry rushed out, Ding Lingren was even more ruined. Those who had seen it turned pale, and those who didn't understand shouted: "What is this thing?" ! 』

Amidst the thunderous sound of horseshoes, dozens of armored cavalry roared towards them.

It is more difficult to do homework from scratch, but copying homework is somewhat easier.These armored cavalry of Cao Jun are almost the same as those heavy cavalry under Fei Qian's command. They are covered with high-quality armor that only generals can equip. White lacquer and feathers are used on the armored cavalry, and there are also white patterns on the neck guard and cape as identification marks.

For the Dingling people, these people are covered in iron armor, wearing pockets, neck protectors, and shoulders. The armor skirt hangs down to the knees, and even the leather boots are inlaid with iron leaves. The horses under their crotch seem to be armored. , with colorful ornaments, looking suddenly, it is not cavalry, but monsters that only appear in legends, with claws and claws, ready to choose and devour at any time!

Ordinary dinglings don't have any armor at all, at most they are leather armor like vests, and their equipment is mainly bows and arrows, short knives, and spears. Better elite dingling cavalry have relatively better protection, but At most, there is one more iron armor, plus two short capes, and very few battle skirts.

These Dingling people are a little bit unmovable when facing the ordinary cavalry of Cao Jun, but now when they are facing the fully armed armored cavalry, they are even more helpless, and they collapse almost at the moment of contact.

Dingling turned his horse's head involuntarily and fled, not daring to face the terrifying heavy cavalry. At this time, no Dingling would think that these armored cavalry were only dozens of people. Going to the heap is not impossible to win, but most people feel at this moment that it is better to let others fight for their lives and run for their lives first!
In fact, Cao Hong's current armored cavalry is still not perfect, because the quality of the horses is average.The heavy cavalry under Fei Qian's command, all the horses are Xiliang horses, which can be regarded as the descendants of the Dawan horses introduced by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. They are tall and leggy, heavy and heavy, and have amazing explosive power. They can accelerate to The biggest, but the only disadvantage is that the endurance is much worse than that of the Hetao horse.

However, Cao Hong's current cavalry was only selected from ordinary war horses. Whether it was load-bearing or explosive power, they were all average, so in the end they had to settle for the next best, just a resemblance.

Cao Hong deliberately selected some powerful and powerful horses, and put on as light scale armor as possible for all the knights—in fact, the shoulders and armor skirts are still made of leather, with a few pieces of thin iron on the key parts—and then gave the horses They are all covered with felt, leather curtains and chicken necks, and painted with five colors so that no one can see the texture. From a distance, they look like knights wearing iron armor...

After some training, these armored cavalry are quite decent. When the front line is stalemate, they can use the powerful impact to become the sharpest sword, forcibly breaking through the enemy's formation, or directly piercing the opponent. the core part.

Cao Hong was quite satisfied with the actual combat results.When the Ding Ling people saw the armored cavalry, almost no one dared to confront them head-on, especially when the Ding Ling people were panicked and panicked, and their livers were broken. There are more, even hundreds, even thousands of rides...

Cao Jun's armored cavalry rushed in front, followed by Cao Jun's ordinary cavalry, and crashed straight into the scattered brigade of Ding Ling. The huge impact was like a plow turning over the soil. As Cao Jun's cavalry advanced, waves of blood surged towards both sides, Dingling fell off his horse, and the ownerless horse neighed and ran around!

Cao Hong was overjoyed when he saw that the Ding Ling people had completely lost their formation and the ability to resist, and ordered the whole army to attack. Amidst the roar of war drums, Cao's army started chasing and killing them.Cao Hong himself also held a long knife, chasing and killing Ding Lingren, and if he caught up with one, he would cut down another one. Even if Ding Lingren occasionally parried Cao Hong's long knife, he was chased by Cao Hong's guards who came after him. Hack...

Looking down from a high place, you can see the torrents of Cao's army rushing forward, rushing into the scattered army formation of Ding Ling.Every time a wave came, the scattered formation formed by these small groups of people melted a bit, and the more they melted, the more irresistible they became, until finally they started to flee regardless, and all the small groups collapsed, leaving only Whoever is down can escape faster!

Ding Lingren was forced to evacuate in the rain outside Jixian City. It doesn't mean that he is physically strong, and the consumption of troops and horses is also very high. It's just that because of the fighting spirit and pride from before, he saw Cao Jun chasing him. The rear stayed behind to intercept, but no one thought that Cao Jun's attack from top to bottom was so sharp and majestic that the whole line collapsed after only two or three hours of fighting!
The will to resist in the chaotic Dingling formation has collapsed, and many people turned around and ran away, but both the horses and the horses were already exhausted. How could they speed up in an instant, and they were hacked and killed by Cao Jun who was catching up.Of course, there are still some Dingling people shouting loudly, trying to restore the situation of the battle, and let more Dingling people keep calm and fight hard, but when many people gave up hope and just wanted to escape for their lives, no voice was heard Yes, even red-eyed, treating the compatriots around him as enemies, slashing and killing wildly...

At such a moment, even a single Cao Jun infantry would dare to rush up and wave a knife and gun at Ding Lingren, shouting and cursing loudly, and Ding Lingren would tremble even if he was riding on a horse, wishing to grow a few more legs , Outrun your compatriots quickly and get out of danger.

"forward!catch up! 』

Cao Hong raised his arms and shouted, "Go forward!"Drive them forward! 』

It is an instinct of almost every qualified general to use routs to snowball.

It is good to wipe out these broken Ding Ling people, but if these defeated Ding Ling people can infect more Ding Ling people like a plague, wouldn't it be better?
The armored cavalry had completed their mission and couldn't move anymore. The men and horses were steaming and stopped slowly. Some even lifted their visors and gasped heavily. The formation was also scattered, everyone's armor was covered with blood, and the horse's legs were also red.At this time, these armored cavalrymen are no longer fighting. Even if Dingling countercharges, it is these armored cavalrymen who will suffer...

"well done!Everyone deserves credit! ’Cao Hong arrived in front of the armored cavalry, and gave high praise and praise, ‘Some people, help them remove their armor!Then rest for half an hour and catch up! 』

Cao Hong brandished his blood-stained long knife, and pointed forward proudly, "We will drive these little bastards to the sky!" 』
