Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao is stunned when he reveals his time-traveling identity.
Chapter 87 The Defeat of the Trapped Camp
Meanwhile, on the path leading to Xuzhou.
A group of people lay in wait here, seemingly having been waiting for a long time.
"General, would Cao Cao's army really take this shortcut...?"
"We have been lying in wait here for many days, but we have not seen a trace of them."
A lieutenant sighed with a hint of helplessness and asked.
"Yes, General, the army's food supplies are already running low, and we may not be able to last another day!"
The subordinates beside him spoke one by one.
They simply couldn't hold it in any longer.
The general they were talking about was the middle-aged general in front of them, dressed in heavy armor, tall and imposing, with a resolute face.
He was Gao Shun, the commander of the Trapped Camp.
Gao Shun frowned slightly but did not respond.
He simply gazed quietly into the distance.
At this time, the Trapped Camp and some of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry were lying in ambush on the hills.
The hill has a strange terrain, and even if you occupy a high position, it is difficult to shoot arrows at the pass.
However, it is extremely suitable for cavalry charges.
Once Cao Cao's army appears.
In an instant, the cavalry would arrive in front of Cao Cao's army.
Just as Gao Shun was pondering whether or not to retreat.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the distance!
And there are Cao Cao's army flags!
Gao Shun's eyes lit up, and a huge weight was lifted from his heart.
Just yesterday, the army scouts obtained the information.
Xiahou Dun's army is marching along the main road, heading straight for Xuzhou.
However, main roads are not easy to protect supply depots.
Taking the side path is the best option.
Therefore, Chen Gong arranged for Gao Shun and others to be stationed there.
Returning to defend Xuzhou wouldn't be slow, and it would also destroy Cao Cao's supply depot.
"As expected, Cao Cao's army did not anticipate that the strategist had arranged for us to wait here!"
"All troops, prepare for a full-scale charge once the enemy reaches the area!"
Gao Shun gripped his weapon tightly and said coldly.
Although Chen Gong's strategies were not as good as those of Guo Jia and others, he was still a first-rate strategist.
Many of his strategies saved Lü Bu from destruction.
He was even more confident in dealing with Cao Cao.
He knew Cao Cao too well.
Dealing with Cao Cao was also a breeze for them.
He not only studied Cao Cao, but also Guo Jia and others.
Given the personalities of Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, and others, they certainly wouldn't let such an opportunity to transport grain pass them by.
Otherwise, with such high mobility, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry would not have found it difficult to wipe out the supply camp while the Cao army was resting on the main road.
Therefore, this plan was decided!
Cao Cao's army is getting closer and closer, and it is clear that they are transporting supplies.
It's definitely the supply battalion!
"Who is this leader?"
As Cao Cao's army slowly approached, Gao Shun couldn't help but frown.
The quartermaster who transports provisions should be a trusted general.
Gao Shun had seen many of Cao Jun's generals.
But the two generals leading the charge were completely unfamiliar to them.
"Never mind, these two in black armor are the generals."
"Kill these two first, and the enemy will surely lose their composure!"
Gao Shun narrowed his eyes and gave the order in a deep voice.
Although I don't understand why there's a carriage at the back of the procession.
But it's nothing serious.
However, he was unaware of this.
These were two unfamiliar generals whom he had never met before.
These two would later become two of the Five Elite Generals: Yu Jin and Xu Huang!
And sitting in the carriage were Su Chen and Guo Jia!
Su Chen disliked riding in horse-drawn carriages; the bumpy ride made him prone to motion sickness.
It's not as comfortable as riding a horse yourself.
However, Cao Cao insisted on having Su Chen and Guo Jia ride in a carriage, citing safety as the top priority.
In this way, even if there were ambushes, Su Chen and the others at the rear could stay away from the battlefield.
"Brother Fengxiao, I can't go on..."
"I need to go out for some fresh air."
"If we keep bumping around like this, I'm afraid I'll throw up all over the car."
Su Chen felt a churning in his stomach, waved his hand, and said.
"this……"
"Jingming, our army has now entered the pass."
"What if there's an ambush? Wouldn't you be in danger?"
Guo Jia, somewhat worried, tried to stop him.
"Brother, I'm begging you."
"Shut your mouth, you jinx."
Su Chen's face immediately fell.
However, before he could say another word...
"call out!"
"call out!"
A series of arrows whistled through the air!
The faint sound of horses' hooves could be heard from the valleys on both sides!
"Brother Fengxiao, you are truly my elder brother!"
"You jinxed it all, why don't you go down in history?"
At this moment, how could Su Chen not know that the ambush had been launched!
"Quickly, pass on the order!"
"Stop pretending! Everyone, prepare to defend!"
Su Chen took a deep breath and shouted at the armored soldier beside him.
This was Su Chen's second major battle, and he was quite adept at it.
He has two thousand new recruits under his command, and more than ten thousand additional troops are stationed in the rear!
Xuzhou doesn't have that many troops!
……
The Trapped Camp and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry charged down the mountain like tigers and wolves.
The new recruits below, who were already prepared, quickly formed ranks and, under the leadership of Yu Jin and Xu Huang, defended against the enemy.
For a time, the entire valley was filled with shouts of battle and endless fighting.
The sound of clashing swords filled the entire valley.
The new army was unexpectedly brave, far exceeding Yu Jin and Xu Huang's expectations.
This month-long training has turned them into almost iron men.
They actually managed to hold the Trapped Camp firmly in check!
This scene left Gao Shun completely stunned.
These soldiers, dressed in new armor, looked like ordinary soldiers from a supply battalion.
How can they possess such formidable combat power?!
However, the number was only a little over two thousand.
They still represent a minority compared to Gao Shunjun.
However, the shouts of battle coming from not far away in the valley made Gao Shunxin feel a chill.
It's an ambush!
Cao's army was well prepared!
However, by the time Gao Shun came to his senses, it was too late.
With the massive army pressing in, the Trapped Camp and Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, held back by new recruits, had no way to escape.
In an instant, the once near-perfect ambush plan turned into a one-sided massacre.
The difference in numbers is simply too great.
The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the Trapped Camp, which had the advantage they had during the first wave of the charge, were now out of commission.
At this point, trying to win with fewer troops is virtually impossible.
Soon, the entire army of three thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry was wiped out.
Of the more than 800 men in the Trapped Camp, over 80% have been killed or wounded.
Gao Shun was covered in blood, and his armor was covered in sword and knife wounds.
He gripped the longsword tightly in his hand, showing no sign of backing down.
Their resolve to charge into battle is one of certain death!
This is the rule that Gao Shun set for the Trapped Camp, and it is also his heartbeat.
He just didn't expect that Cao Jun had taken precautions all along.
Moreover, there was such a special force that was able to withstand the full-force charge of the Trapped Camp and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry head-on!
"What did the people in the carriages shout when the army came down the mountain?"
Gao Shun, panting heavily, asked the lieutenant beside him.
"It sounds like they're calling for battle formation!"
"Judging from the looks of it, the person sitting in this carriage is the very one who devised the strategist's plan!"
The general, panting heavily, said through gritted teeth.
"As expected, someone was directing and planning this."
Gao Shun gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:
"The three thousand wolf riders have been wiped out, and my Trapped Camp is almost entirely wiped out."
"We can't leave."
"But even before I die, I will fight for the General with my life!"
