Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 938 I'm afraid Guan Yu won't cooperate
Although Cao Zhang was not the general of the army, his status surpassed that of Cao Xiu, and he had always been known as an inappropriate husband. He was suddenly beheaded by Lan Ji in front of the battle, which caused an uproar in the Wei army.

Before the battle, the general failed and died, which affected Xia Houyuan who was comparable to Dingjunshan. The Wei army officers and soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, and Guan Yu took advantage of the situation to command Jingzhou soldiers to charge forward.

Pang De and Guan Ping led Qingqi straight to the two wings of the Wei army, while Guan Yu led the main force of Jingzhou to attack from the front.

Lan Ji's beheading broke the balance of morale between the two armies. The soldiers in Jingzhou charged while spraying white mist and roaring.

The sound of horseshoes, footsteps, and screams combined to make the earth tremble, as if spring thunder was about to wake up hibernating animals.

The vanguard general of the Wei army was beheaded. Although the generals, lieutenant generals, and lieutenants in the army who were responsible for the specific command of the battle tried their best to restrain their subordinates from panic, these people did not have the deterrent power of Cao Zhang. Facing the menacing Jingzhou army, they had poor psychological quality. The soldiers were the first to collapse.

With restless restlessness, the soldiers retreated unconsciously, and the original neat formation of the Wei army was deformed accordingly.

Lacking a strong commander-in-chief, the chaotic Wei army could not stop the Jingzhou soldiers. The Wei army was defeated as soon as the battle broke out, and then spread and expanded like a virus. Difficult to get.

Tens of thousands of troops are chasing and fighting from north to south on the plain. The scene is like the same number of lions hunting and killing migrating wildebeest on the African grasslands.

The soldiers of the Han and Wei dynasties all wore winter clothes, and the heavy clothes affected the speed of movement. Those who fled the Wei army and died under the sword were far less than those who were trampled and trampled by their own soldiers. This moment fully embodies the law of the jungle in nature. Survive at the moment.

Cao Zhang's [-] vanguard retreated like a tide, Guan Yu led the Jingzhou soldiers in pursuit, covering more than ten miles away, and saw that the south was covered by banners, and Cao Xiu's [-] main force was approaching.

"Yuan Jian, send an order to pursue all the troops immediately, drive Wei Guo's rout, try to see if you can disrupt Cao Xiu's army formation, follow the military order flag for a while, the red flag will continue to advance, and the yellow flag will immediately withdraw the troops and return to Bowang." Guan Yu called Liao Hua to order.

"The last general will pass on the order." Liao Hua clasped his fists and left.

Seeing Cao Xiu's main force enter the field, the defeated Wei soldiers could counterattack normally, but the Jingzhou soldiers chased after them with weapons. He did not dare to turn around and fight back against Guan Yu.

Cao Xiu had already received the news that Cao Zhang was beheaded at the sentry scout, so he urged the main force to march quickly.

The fact that Cao Zhang was killed has become a reality, and Cao Xiu has no time to think about how Cao Pi will be punished. At this moment, he is most concerned about the current battle situation. He is very worried that the former army will be chaotic, but his idea has really become a reality.

"Order all the armies to stabilize the chaos, and the defeated soldiers who dare to attack their own army will be killed without mercy." Cao Xiu drew his sword and shouted awe-inspiringly.

The battalions at the front of the main force of the Wei army responded quickly. At this time, it was necessary to make a decisive decision and use killing to awaken the panic of the defeated soldiers. When the blood of Wei soldiers' swords was stained with the blood of his comrades, Cao Xiu really turned the tide and stabilized the situation. He then sent people to gather the defeated soldiers and re-formation , and prepared to counterattack the pursuing Jingzhou soldiers.

When Cao Xiu stabilized his position, the bright yellow flag swayed in the wind at the position of the central army where Guan Yu was located in the north, and then Jingzhou soldiers began to retreat one after another.

What does Guan Yu want to do?Cao Xiu frowned.

Fighting Guan Yu this year, I obviously feel that the opponent's use of troops is more casual, but the results are often unexpected.

Cao Xiu himself has just passed the age of [-], and it is obviously a "career rising period", but he feels that his mind is not as flexible as Guan Yu's. The red-faced thief has already passed his sixtieth birthday, so it can't be said that he has become old and confused, at least he can't become stronger endlessly, right?Who can understand this pain?
Commander Cao Xiu was powerful and commanded properly, so that the main force of the Wei army was not disrupted by the rout, but the casualties were still the Wei army in Nanyang, and Cao Zhang lost nearly half of the [-] vanguards.

Because he had to deal with the chaos caused by the rout of the army, Cao Xiu watched Jingzhou soldiers calmly retreat. The [-] casualties recorded by the Wei army today became the highest casualties in a single day during the entire Nanyang War.

Cao Xiu purges the whole army and continues to advance. At night, he camps fifteen miles south of Bowang City. The whole camp is shrouded in the haze of Cao Zhang's beheading.

Zhang He's rear army escorted the entire army to supply supplies, and also joined Cao Xiu around dusk. When he heard that Cao Zhang died at the hands of Lan Ji, he had a feeling of guessing right in his heart.

"Jun Yi, King Ren Cheng was beheaded in front of the formation, and the morale of the whole army is low. What countermeasures do you have?" Cao Xiu looked at the generals under his command, and thought that only Zhang Yun had the highest vision.

Zhang He sighed and said: "The two armies pay attention to making use of their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses. Since Guan Yu's generals are strong and their troops are few, the Great Sima wants to urge the generals not to be brave. We still choose to win with the masses. Now our army is running out of food and grass. The most important thing is to find a way." Send the battle report to the Central Plains"

"I have dispatched [-] teams of scouts in batches, and ordered them to disperse and bypass Bowang City at night. After all, it is early spring, and the stars in the sky are chatting at night, and Siye can hardly see his fingers. Guan Yu can't stop them all." Cao Xiu was confident. After Man Man finished speaking, his face was filled with sadness again, "King Ren Cheng was very brave, so he died in the hands of this junior, Si Zhi really felt a pity, Lan Ji is really not easy."

Zhang He shook his head and smiled wryly: "As the saying goes, there are still strong players in the strong. Lan Ji's ability to fight against Wen Yuan against Sanbaihe shows that his strength, skill, and endurance are all outstanding. Although Ren Chengwang is brave, he has no experience in fighting fierce generals. Listen Said that Lan Ji is Guan Yu's son-in-law, I am afraid that he is often given advice, and his bravery is probably unmatched among the younger generation."

"Junyi's analysis is reasonable. Ren Chengwang's impulsive fight will be killed. Although his skills are not as good as others, he is not as good as himself." Cao Xiu stopped abruptly as he said, and then changed the subject: "Oh, why do I keep bringing up unpleasant things? Let's talk about fighting tomorrow, how does Junyi think this battle will be fought?"

Although Cao Xiu didn't finish his sentence, Zhang He is also a Linglong man, and he knew the reason after a little thought. If Cao Zhang wasn't Cao Cao's own son, he might not have fought impulsively today, because the stronger he is, the easier it is for Cao Pi to fear him. He is depressed Mood will affect the battle, maybe Cao Zhang was distracted at that time.

They have already fought for [-] rounds, so why can't they get injured and escape?Zhang Hexin said that I have rich experience, unless the force is absolutely suppressed, it must be no problem to escape in battle.

"There are few people in Bowang City. The general thought that Guan Yu's tens of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers could not all hide in the city for defense. We can draw out the garrison outside the city, slowly cut off the threat outside Bowang, and then just besiege the city and trap it. .” Zhang He cupped his fists and offered his advice.

"I'm afraid Guan Yu won't cooperate like this, and our troops have only a very slight advantage over Guan Yu. If we encounter today's disastrous defeat again, the consequences will be unimaginable." Cao Xiu couldn't help shaking his head with a wry smile. Last year's extra 10,000+ soldiers didn't take advantage of it. When it comes to cheapness, now there is only an advantage of [-] to [-] yuan,

"Uh, then use your troops more safely." Zhang Yun also had no good solution.

Guan Yu had a difference of 10,000+ troops last year, and he was able to fight well. Now there is only a slight gap between the two sides. It is said that they can fight more actively, but Guan Yu is not only thinking about Cao Xiu. Fighting too aggressively will easily increase the damage of Jingzhou soldiers. The direct attack on Luoyang, the capital of Xu, caused a lag, so Guan Yu was more cautious this year, but soon Wei Guo took practical actions to urge Guan Yu to become active.
