Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 350 Yuan Zhao ([-])

another month later

Yuan Shao led 1 troops to attack Baima with Yan Liang, and gained a stronghold for Yuan Jun on the south bank of the Yellow River. He himself led an army of [-] to attack Yanjin.

However, Yuan Shao deliberately asked Yuan Shang to command an army of [-] in order to give his youngest son Yuan Shang a chance to make military achievements, but Yanjin could not be attacked for a long time.

Lejin and Yujin who guarded Yanjin had only 5000 men, but they not only defended the Yanjin Ferry, but also once counterattacked to Ji County and Huojia County on the north bank of the Yellow River, beheading more than 5000 Yuan Jun and capturing more than 3000 people. There were more than ten thousand generals of the Yuan army who surrendered to Cao Cao, and there were more than 20 generals.

After losing the first battle, Yuan Jun's morale was low.

10 people beat 5000 people, and [-] people were counter-killed, will you play?
When Wang Jue, who was fighting guerrilla warfare near Xuchang, heard the news, he couldn't help but sigh to his uncle Yuan Shao.

There are more people than Cao Jun, better equipment than Cao Jun, more food and grass than Cao Jun, and a situation where you can win with your feet. No ghost understands how Yanjin lost this battle.

Yuan Shao doted on his youngest son too much. He knew that Yuan Shang was a good-for-nothing, but he still had to find a way to concentrate all resources on Yuan Shang and create opportunities for Yuan Shang to be gilded, resulting in the sacrifice of soldiers in vain.

……

Guandu
"Okay, okay!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed with the great victory in the first battle, and the advisers and generals around him also sweated. This battle was too thrilling. If Yuan Shao was not too turbulent, he would hand over an army of 10 people to Yuan Shang to be gilded. Yu Jin and Le Jin There is no way to win.

"Although we won the first battle, Yuan's army still has nearly [-] soldiers and horses, which are far stronger than us. We should not underestimate the enemy." Xun You, the strategist, worried that Cao Cao's soldiers would be arrogant, so he reminded him, and then made a suggestion: "Ming Gong can give Yuan Shao Attacking east and west, a small group of troops was sent to pretend to cross the Yellow River from Yanjin, and went to the north bank of the Yellow River to attack Yuan Jun's grain road. At that time, Yuan Shao must lead the main force to Yanjin. At that time, the lord suddenly turned and left Yanjin. Cooperate with the White Horse garrison and attack Yan Liang who is besieging the White Horse, and Yan Liang will be defeated!"

"Gongda's strategy is very clever!" Cao Cao felt that the strategy here is feasible, so he asked again: "I will feign an attack myself, but I still need a vanguard officer to attack Yan Liang."

"Didn't Duke Ming happen to have one? It's a captive from Xuzhou!" Guo Jia laughed.

"Those who know me are filial piety!" Cao Cao also laughed.

"Report! Report to the general! Our sentry cavalry found a large number of Cao troops building bridges and crossing the river in Yanjin!"

"Well, back off."

The news from the front line came from the scouts, and Yuan Shao hurriedly led his men to Yanjin to fight Cao Cao, causing Cao Cao to cut off the food road after going around.

After learning the lesson from Yuan Shang who sent [-] soldiers last time, Yuan Shao no longer dared to let his youngest son go to the battlefield to be gilded.

From the beginning to the end, Yuan Shao did not take Cao Cao seriously, thinking that it was impossible to lose this war, otherwise he would not have done the thing of asking Yuan Shang to plate gold in such a crucial battle.

thirteen days later
Yanjin
More than ten days later, Yuan Shao's army finally arrived in Yanjin, but he did not find Cao Jun here.

At this time, his scouts came again: "Report! Report to the general! Our sentry cavalry found that a large number of Cao troops were going downstream of the river. We don't know where they are going."

"what?"

"What is Cao Cao going to do?"

Yuan Shao was suspicious, but Wang Xiao, the counselor beside him, frowned and said in surprise: "Ming Gong! Cao Cao is probably playing tricks, deliberately luring the main force of our army to Yanjin, and then while the main force of our army is still shopping in Yanjin, Cao Cao personally led the main force to attack General Yan, and cooperated with the white horse defenders to come to a center to bloom!"

"Hmph!" Yuan Shao immediately realized that he had fallen for Cao Cao's strategy, so he snorted coldly and hurried back to Liyang with his army, and then told Wang Xiao, "Midnight, please go to the white horse to inform General Yan personally. , Let him withdraw his troops back to Liyang to prevent being surrounded by Cao Jun."

Naturally, the army's marching speed was far slower than that of a single person on horseback, so Yuan Shao didn't take the army directly to the white horse.

If Cao Cao didn't go to Baima, then it would be a waste of time for him to go all the way to Baima. If Cao Cao went to Baima, it would be a waste of effort when Yuan Shao's army arrived at Baima, after all the battles had been fought, so don't go at all. Just hurry up and remind me.

……

another ten days later
Hakuba
"As long as the siege lasts for another month, I will be able to capture Baima City!" Yan Liang said confidently. He has been besieging Baima City for more than a month.

At this moment, Wang Xiao came to the coach's camp. Because he came in a hurry, he was panting all the time and couldn't speak.

"Mr. Ziye, aren't you by Ming Gong's side? What are you doing here?" Yan Liang was very puzzled. Why did the counselors around Yuan Shao come to the front instead of making good plans in the rear?
"General Yan, withdraw troops quickly!" After Wang Xiao finished breathing, he immediately reminded Yan Liang to withdraw troops quickly.

"What?" Yan Liang was shocked: "I'm about to capture Baima City, and withdrawing troops at this time, isn't it a waste of time to besiege for more than a month?"

Just when Yan Liang didn't understand why he wanted to withdraw his troops...

Boom boom boom!
"kill!"

The army of tens of thousands killed from afar seemed to be the main force of Cao's army.

Cao Cao had a total of only 1 troops on the front line, and now he brought more than [-] soldiers to attack Yan Liang. It can be said that he tried his best.

To Yuan Shao, Yan Liang was just a partial master, but such a partial master was almost as strong as Cao Cao's main force.

"No, Cao Jun's main force really came to Baima City to play the central blooming tactics!" Wang Xiao was shocked.

The central flowering tactic was previously used by Yu Shan, a famous general from Fujian and Vietnam, against Wang Changzhi and Li Xi, but Wang Changzhi and Li Xi used one trick to besiege the city and fight for aid to break the central flowering.

Yan Liang's army was harassed. While attacking the city, they wanted to defend against the main force of Cao's army rushing from behind.

"Pike formation!" Yan Liang was worthy of being a battle-tested veteran, and hurriedly formed his own soldiers to form a long spear formation, ready to resist the main force of Cao's army that was heading straight to the coach's camp.

"Arrangement of spears!"

"Arrangement of spears!"

"Arrangement of spears!"

The messenger hurriedly conveyed Yan Liang's military order on horseback, and the standard bearer waved the corresponding military flag.

However, it's too late to say it.

Just when Yan Liang organized his own soldiers to form a spear formation to prepare for battle.

Tatata!
A red-faced man with a height of nine feet rushed forward with dozens of cavalry. Before Yan Liang's soldiers formed a spear formation, the red-faced man had already killed him and roared at Yan Liang: "Guan Yu is here! Therefore, the rats will die!"

How dare he?How dare you? !

With only a few dozen cavalrymen, he dared to rush into the barracks of tens of thousands of people and carry out beheading operations!
Seeing Guan Yu rushing forward, Wang Xiao was very shocked. Only the ancestor of the Wang family, Wang Changzhi, dared to do such a thing, and now Guan Yunchang, who came out, dared to do this!
Yan Liang was busy using the commanding sword in his hand to command the soldiers to move closer to him. He didn't expect Guan Yu to charge so fast. When he turned his head and saw Guan Yu...

puff!

Yan Liang didn't even have time to think about how to fight back, and was suddenly stabbed into the body by a horse spear from Guan Yu.

The reaction speed of the soldiers around Yan Liang was comparable to that of Abe's bodyguards. They stood there for a long time in a daze, but their brains didn't realize why they suddenly rushed in with a red-faced hunk, and why the coach died suddenly.

It didn't count that Guan Yu stabbed Yan Liang to death with a horse. He actually pulled out a ring-sword from his waist, quickly chopped off Yan Liang's head, and then ran out of the barracks with Yan Liang's head.

It wasn't until this moment that Wang Xiao came to his senses, and ordered those Yan Liang's soldiers who were froze, "Hurry up and catch up with him!"

Only then did Yan Liang's soldiers come to their senses, and hurriedly rode their horses to chase and kill Guan Yu.

But Guan Yu had already run far away, and Cao Cao himself rushed in with the main force of tens of thousands.

At the same time, when the soldiers of Yuan Jun were turning their heads to resist the main force of Cao Jun, the gate of Baima City suddenly opened, and the guards of Cao Jun in the city led more than a thousand people to fight out.

Yuan Jun lost his commander and had no one to command. Wang Xiao was just a counselor sent over temporarily to convey the news. It was okay to use his special status to temporarily command Yan Liang's soldiers, but if he wanted to command the tens of thousands of troops that were out of control, that would be impossible at all. possible.

Seeing that the army was defeated because the dragons had no leader, Wang Xiao hurriedly ran all the way back to Liyang.

The central flowering tactic was really successfully played by Cao Cao.
