Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

……

Whether Dong Zhuo is too powerful, Cao Cao doesn't know.

But Cao Cao has a very deep understanding of the tyranny of this little-known general "Xu Rong".

In the two battlefields, even Cao Cao himself was hit by the flying arrows shot by the opponent. If it weren't for the help of the two brothers Xiahouyuan and Xiahoudun under his command, the army under his command might be in contact with Xu Rong's forbidden army. The first time, it will completely collapse.

And Cao Cao himself, also because of Cao Hong's help, Cao Hong gave up his horse to Cao Cao before the battle, and fought to the death with Cao Ren in the Bianshui area, which barely resisted Xu Rong's offensive.

Only after this battle, Cao Cao had to take the army back to Suanzao County overnight to reorganize the troops.

However, Xu Rong led troops to attack Suanzao several times but failed, and Li Meng under his command was killed at the gate of the city by a strange man wearing a long robe and a green turban on his head during the siege battle against Suanzao.

Seeing that nothing could be done, Xu Rong gave up the idea of ​​counterattacking Suanzao, and confronted Cao Cao's troops outside Suanzao City faintly.

……

On the frontal battlefield, Xu Rong and Cao Cao had a stalemate for a long time.

It seems that the two seem to be invincible and invincible, and no one can do anything to each other.

But the impact of the confrontation between the two on the entire battlefield is by no means that simple.

After Xu Rong beat Cao Cao back to Suanzao, another army led by Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Niu Fu, and Li Que and Guo Si as the vanguard, also head-to-head with the army led by Sun Jian in Chaoge, the ancient capital of the Yin and Shang Dynasties in the north. .

Unlike Xu Rong, Niu Fu, Li Que, Guo Si and others are all Dong Zhuo's old minions.

And their subordinates are none other than the Xiliang iron cavalry who are well-known among the big men.

[-] infantry, [-] cavalry... such a ratio of infantry and cavalry, I am afraid that there is no other place that can easily achieve it except Xiliang, which is rich in excellent horses.

And relying on the fact that the soldiers under his hands were well-equipped with food and supplies, Sun Jian faced the army without changing his face, without the slightest fear.

His Xiliang iron cavalry is brave, so Wu Chenghou himself, could it be that he was given for nothing?

The two armies can be said to be well-matched and majestic.

Taking Chaoge as the battlefield, the two armies confronted each other like this.

……

Chapter 32 Yuan Shu: There is no one who can fight

The army led by Wu Chenghou Sun Jian fought a [-]/[-] fight with the Xiliang iron cavalry led by Niu Fu...

Did you think it would happen like this?

That was really overthinking.

If Dong Zhuo just let Niu Fu bring Li Que, Guo Si and others into battle, then with his tyrannical force and his subordinates Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Zu Mao and other retainers working hard, Sun Jian might really Can compete with Xiliang iron cavalry on the frontal battlefield.

Even in favorable conditions it is not impossible to inflict mass casualties on the cavalry of an enemy army.

It's just a pity that under Niu Fu's command, there are not only fierce generals from Xiliang, but also unparalleled think tanks.

And Sun Jian's brain is not very enough.

Because of Jia Xu's existence, Sun Jian, who has always been stubborn, suffered a lot on the Chaoge battlefield, and even almost lost his life.

Relying on his retainer Zu Mao and others to break through desperately, Sun Jian managed to break through the chaos.

The reason why his situation on the battlefield turned from prosperity to decline was precisely because of the premature defeat of Cao Cao and others on the eastern battlefield.

……

Yes, just like Zhang Yan once mentioned that the Kwantung Five-Route Allied Forces should take care of each other. Under Dong Zhuo's command, Jia Xu and others naturally knew this truth.

Not long after Chaoge and the army led by Sun Jian met, Jia Xu asked Li Que to write a letter, inviting Xu Rong, who was on his side, to lead troops to Chaoge to encircle Sun Jian.

On his own side, with the help of the excellent mobility of the cavalry and the overly flat terrain of Chaoge, Sun Jian was pinned down here.

As far as this Xu Rong is concerned, he is indeed an excellent general under Dong Zhuo's command.

When his own general Li Meng was killed in battle, and the Suanzao coalition forces confronted him in the air, he used a trick of suspicion.

In the early morning of the same day, Xu Rong first ordered the soldiers under his command to bury a large number of pots and cook food, and left [-] soldiers behind to maintain the appearance of his own camp full of people, so that the enemy commander Cao Cao did not dare to advance rashly.

As for himself, he led most of the soldiers and horses from the east of Luoyang to the north, directly cutting off the retreat of Sun Jian and others.

Or how to put it, sometimes, people just have to believe in their own destiny... Maybe for Sun Jian, the lack of food in the army is his doomed catastrophe.

When Zhang Yan evaded Yuan Shu's troubles, his food path was finally cut off by Xu Rong's army. When he faced the Xiliang iron cavalry led by Li Que, Guo Si and others, his momentum and combat power suddenly weakened. scored three points.

When Sun Jian found out that the problem was wrong and planned to send people back to explore Liangdao, Jia Xu suggested that Li Que and others should take the initiative to launch a decisive battle with Sun Jian.

This move seemed to satisfy Sun Jian's plan to end the battle as soon as possible, but in fact it was in the arms of Dong Zhuo's army.

In the absence of food and grass and unknown information, Sun Jian first killed on the frontal battlefield. Li Que's 2 infantry led by an army of [-] could not hold up his head. Instead, when Xu Rong led more than [-] people from When he came out from behind, he found that the coalition forces caught between two sides suddenly fell into a panic.

……

If it's just that, then that's all.

But how could Jia Xu give Sun Jian a chance to breathe?

Just when Sun Jian tried to break through the siege, [-] cavalry led by Guo Bang caught up with Sun Jian's army from behind, drove them to the distance, and massacred those who were exhausted and killed stragglers.

At this time, the two sides of the armor are reflected.

Although Sun Jian's army had a very high armor rate, not only was this not a good thing during the pursuit battle, it even seriously consumed the physical strength of Sun Jian's army, making it difficult for his soldiers to travel long distances.

As a last resort, Sun Jian could only order some soldiers to abandon their armor, which in disguise was equivalent to subsidizing those soldiers of Dong Zhuo's army who were chasing after them...

After coming and going, Sun Jian may not have lost too much in terms of numbers, but in terms of the combat power and resource reserves of both sides, Sun Jian can be said to have lost to his grandma this time.

……

After this battle, Sun Jian retreated all the way to Shangdang County since Chaoge's defeat, and took advantage of the strong walls of Shangdang County to wipe out several waves of enemy troops who came to pursue him, and finally stabilized his footsteps.

It's just that Xu Rong was so ferocious and brutal that he ordered his life to capture Li Min, the prefect of Yingchuan who came to support Sun Jian from the allied forces in the pursuit battle, and cooked and killed him, and distributed it to many soldiers under his command.

This Li Min immediately became the first prince to be killed in the process of the coalition of princes seeking Dong.

If it weren't for the fact that Niu Fu's army was mostly cavalry and it was inconvenient to attack the city, Sun Jian's situation would not even be better than Cao Cao's.

……

Of course, in terms of spirit, Sun Jian did not feel discouraged because of this failure.

On the contrary, his fighting spirit is even stronger.Moreover, Sun Jian hated Niu Fu and Xiliang iron cavalry deeply in his heart, and secretly vowed that in the future, he would avenge his shame and defeat the opponent's army on the battlefield.

……

In this way, the five armies that set off almost at the same time, Sun Jian and Cao Cao, which Zhang Yan was most optimistic about, were intercepted by Dong Zhuo's generals before their respective guarded passes.

On the contrary, the two brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, whom he was not very optimistic about, achieved considerable results.

Especially Yuan Shu, who led his army south this time, led troops to attack Luoyang from the direction of Nanyang County.

The one Dong Zhuojun sent to guard Luoyang was Zhang Ji, a famous Xiliang general, and the [-] army led by Zhang Ji.

According to the situation of the other battles, Zhang Yan thought that Yuan Shu would suffer a lot this time in the face of the famous general Zhang Ji's attack.

After all, among the armies of the Five Routes, Zhang Yan’s Route has about 10 people, and the armies of Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao and others probably have [-] to [-]. less than.

Not to mention the comparison with Dong Zhuo's army, Yuan Shu was the weakest even among the forces within the coalition.

……

However, this army of more than 6 people and less than 7 people actually achieved considerable results when facing the [-]-strong army led by the famous general Zhang Ji.

At the same time, he also won the first and only victory of the entire coalition army in a few days.

……

In Nanyang County, Zhang Ji originally led the army to station troops in the city, and Gao Shun was his deputy general, so it can be said that he was safe.

But he didn't want to, Yuan Shu didn't have the idea of ​​confronting him head-on at all.

After finding out the general distribution of Zhang Ji's troops through spies, Yuan Shu relied on his status as the prefect of Runan to contact a series of Runan families, and through these families, penetrated into Nanyang County.

Who is he, Yuan Shu?He is the eldest son of the Yuan family of four generations and three generations!

Although this sentence is always on the lips on weekdays, if it is really about how to use the influence brought by his identity, if Yuan Shu claims to be the second, no one will dare to call himself the number one.

As the most powerful family in Runan, Yuzhou, and even China in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yuan family's influence far exceeded Zhang Ji's imagination.

The aristocratic families in Yuzhou are connected with each other, and Yuan Shu's order was echoed in every possible way.Wancheng, where Zhang Ji stationed troops, seemed to be undefended, open to Yuan Shu's army 24 hours a day.

……

In terms of intelligence, Yuan Shu can monitor Zhang Ji's army at any time through the aristocratic families in the city.

In terms of generals, although Yuan Shu is not as good as Sun Jian, he has very strong first-class generals... But the series of generals such as Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, Lei Bo, and Chen Lan are not given for nothing.

Especially Ji Ling, who was the leader, was extremely loyal to Yuan Shu, and was able to compete with a god like Guan Yu for more than [-] rounds without losing the wind...

This kind of record, even in the whole of China, can be regarded as second to none.

As for the strength of troops... Although Yuan Shu is the least in the coalition army, there are still more than [-] troops.

In street fighting, these troops had an absolute advantage against Zhang Ji's [-] soldiers.

……

As the saying goes, if the husband has not fought and the temple is considered a big winner, it must be counted as a lot.

Without knowing how to lose, Yang Hong, Yan Xiang and others under Yuan Shu's tent jointly wrote a letter requesting Yuan Shu to send troops to attack Nanyang, and Yuan Shu readily agreed.

So that night, just after midnight, there was a big fire in Wancheng, and the gates on all sides opened at the same time, and a large number of Yuan Shu's troops rushed into the city. Before Zhang Ji's troops could react, they took the first step to control it. All the vital points of Wancheng.

Seeing that there was nothing to be done, Zhang Ji, who had never seen such a way of relying on relationships to play through the back door, could only suppress the anger in his heart, led Gao Shun to break through from the north of the city, and handed over Wancheng to Yuan Shu.

In this battle, Yuan Shu's side lost very little, but more than 7000 people were killed or injured. On the other hand, Zhang Ji's side lost at least [-] people.

Fortunately, Yuan Shu's coalition forces were supported by Yang Hong and others, so Yuan Shu failed to lead his army to continue approaching as he wished, chasing after the retreating Zhang Ji and others' troops.

Otherwise, Dong Zhuojun's losses would probably be even more than they are now.

……

In this way, several days after the Kwantung Allied Forces sent troops together, whether it was Yuan Shu, Cao Cao or Sun Jian, they all fell into a stalemate with their respective opponents.

Xu Rong, Li Que and others couldn't break through the strong city guarded by Liu Bei's group and Sun Jian's group. Yuan Shu in the south was alone, and he didn't dare to go deep alone. He just killed Luoyang like this.

Otherwise, once Dong Zhuo's troops shrink to defend, he will be caught by the opponent.
