Chapter 3416: The battle is in chaos
Cao Chun ran away.
The reason why Cao Chun escaped was very simple, he was anxious.
The dog jumps over the wall when he is anxious, and the person goes crazy when he is anxious.
There are many military tactics, and they surrounded them ten times.
Zhao Yun's military strength is not ten times that of Cao Chun. And the most critical point is that Zhao Yun discovered that Cao's army seemed to be consciously engaging in attrition with the Cavalry Army in the near future, so in order to effectively target the Youzhou army and himself, he adopted a siege instead of fighting, or did not attack, and launched a strike and raid on the Cao army coming to aid in the surrounding areas.
At the same time, he took advantage of his military equipment to try to force Cao Chun to fight outside Yuyang City.
Simply put, it is to maximize the advantages of Hussar cavalry combat and avoid disadvantages.
So, when Zhao Yun launched the Youzhou offensive, this strategy just restrained Cao Chun's plan and gave a heavy blow to the entire Youzhou Cao army.
If Cao Chun fought with Zhao Yun from the beginning, he might be able to really fight to consume some of Zhao Yun's troops.
But Cao Chun couldn't bear to let go and couldn't let go, so he naturally was reluctant to do so. The more he dragged it behind, the more he lost his fighting spirit...
Cao Chun's plan was not a complete failure.
However, among the four counties he prepared for, Cao Chun was the most certain and entrusted the heavy responsibility of Ji County Xiahou Heng, who ran away first. Then the soldiers of Juyong County in Shanggu were defeated by Zhang He, half of them were retracted back to Juyong, and a small part escaped to Changping.
Although Zhang He led his troops to Changping, the soldiers from Changping did not dare to come.
Ju Yong doesn’t have to think about it now, he will probably be finished.
The reinforcements from Lu County were hesitant and stopped for two steps. Whenever there was any movement, they would run away immediately.
On the contrary, Cao Chun didn't care much about it at first, and even the somewhat marginalized Wuzhong County arrived with his men.
The reason is very simple. The ward of Wuzhong County felt that Cao Chun promoted him, so he wanted to repay his kindness.
As for whether he will die...
It happened that Wuzhong County is located in a remote area that he didn't care about those things outside.
People are a little different in the end.
Unfortunately, there were not many soldiers in Wuzhong County, with only more than a thousand people. Although they were brave, they still could not defeat the cavalry commanded by Zhao Yun. They were soon suppressed in a small area, unable to move, and in danger.
It was at such a moment that Cao Chun ran away...
Perhaps if they ran away a moment ago, the people in Wuzhong County would not have to die.
But Cao Chun really waited until the people from Wuzhong County arrived, and he truly accepted the failure of his plan...
The reinforcements from the other three counties have not arrived for a long time, and the final troops are just the most remote Wuzhong County!
Cao Chun's face hurts so much.
Some people suggested that they retreat to Jixian and continue to fight against the Cavalry Army, but Cao Chun rejected this suggestion.
Xiahou Heng of Ji County didn't know where he went, and he didn't even see a single figure.
In such a situation, it is impossible to say that he is going to fall into the trap!
So Cao Chun is preparing to retreat directly to Jizhou...
Cao Chun made the decision and immediately took advantage of Zhao Yun's besieging the soldiers of Wuzhong County, and bluffed out a torch as if he was going to fight in one fell swoop. As a result, he fled from Yuyang with his cavalry. He ran forty or fifty miles in one breath before stopping to rest. As a result, Cao Chun found that three or four out of ten soldiers and horses had escaped. He didn't know whether he was falling behind or running away. This made him so angry that his head buzzed, but he had no choice.
For a moment, Zhao Yun never expected Cao Chun to be so ruthless.
According to Zhao Yun's own understanding, he felt that Cao Chun was at least trying to rescue the soldiers of Wuzhong County. Even if the attack failed, he would be considered as trying his best...
Everyone has different views. If Zhao Yun wants to do such a behavior in Cao Chun, he will definitely not be able to do it, so he naturally cannot guess the enemy according to Cao Chun's ideas. Therefore, he reacted half a beat slower. When he realized that he was not in the right way, he found that Cao Chun had actually escaped.
After all, Zhao Yun still focuses on the series of military generals and is not a strategist.
Xinpi was a little annoyed.
If he had known Cao Chun would have escaped tonight, he should have made more preparations under Yuyang City, or discuss the signal of emergency contact with Zhao Yun...
He found Cao Chun running away at the city, and after he found out that he had escaped, he sent someone to find Zhao Yun, and it was naturally delayed.
Now I would like to say more is useless. Zhao Yun comforted Xin Pi a little. After all, seeking stability on the battlefield is the right choice. You may succeed in advancing, but as long as you fail, you may be doomed.
Zhao Yun is indeed right. The situation of the battle is ever-changing, and no one can predict everything.
The conclusion that Zhao Yun and Xin Pi discussed before was to surround the points to attack reinforcements. Then, after a wave of reinforcements came, Cao Chun ran away...
Everything can be predicted. The person who is in the hands of the world is probably either Brother Zhu or a keyboard warrior.
However, Cao Chun is a cavalry, and Zhao Yun is also a cavalry.
Zhao Yun asked Xin Pi to enter Yuyang to extinguish the flames, handle related matters, and prevent a comprehensive way of retreat. He pursued him along the horse's hoof mark left by Cao Chun at dawn.
...
...
Cao Chun fled all the way and brought the soldiers from Changping County when he passed by Changping. Although the number of soldiers increased, because most of the soldiers in Changping were infantry, the speed was not as fast as before.
This is also an action that cannot be done.
On the one hand, the number of soldiers was not large, and Cao Chun could not control the escape of the soldiers in the army. He said he could not rush to expel him back to Jizhou. Now there are only a few hundred people left in the cavalry unit of two or three thousand people, so it is really impossible to make up for the crime of committing suicide and apologizing.
On the other hand, there are some supplies in Changping. When Cao Chun fled Yuyang, he was in a hurry, so naturally it was impossible to carry much dry food and supplies. After taking the supplies from Changping County, it was impossible to just throw the people from Changping County...
If you throw it down, there will be no one.
Towards the south of Changping, Ji County is.
The more Cao Chun thought about it, the more he felt unwilling. At the same time, he wanted to know what was going on in Ji County, so he sent a scout to Ji County to investigate.
The scout came back from investigation and said that there was indeed a three-colored cavalry flag above Ji County.
Cao Chun and Changping defender Chen Bin were both unbelievable.
When did the Cavalry Army emerge from the rear and seize Jixian?
And he still took Ji County silently?
Could it be that he had blamed Xiahou Heng for mistakenly, and Xiahou Heng was also killed in the raid of the Cavalry Army?
This is not completely impossible. After all, Yuyang has been surrounded for several days, and Zhao Yun is indeed likely to send soldiers south...
"Not right..." Chen Bin, the guard general of Changping, said, "General, I haven't seen the Cavalry Army going south these days! If the Cavalry Army going south, my subordinates would raise a beacon fire alarm... Could it be that they were disguised, it was not right. During this period, there were not many people on the road or in the wilderness..."
"Down on the day and comes out at night..." Cao Chun said halfway and shook his head, "That's not right. There are also traces of hiding on the day and comes out at night..."
The two looked at each other but still couldn't figure it out.
Unless Jizhou is also lost?
this……
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
The scouts were hesitant.
"What else is there to say?" Cao Chun asked.
『General, look at Jixian County... It's a little weird..." The scout said, 『The city gates are wide open, and there are no soldiers garrison... and there is only a three-color flag on the top of the city, and it's a little small... It's not like the serious cavalry flag... It's even smaller than this...
The scout team pointed to the general's flag beside Cao Chun.
"Smaller than this? The cavalry recognized the flag?" Cao Chun asked.
"No." The scout team shook their heads.
In order to reduce wind resistance, cavalry will not use large flags, but will use long and small flags or pennant flags.
"There is only one three-color flag? There is no general flag?" Chen Bin asked.
The scout team shook their heads.
"Strange, it's really strange." Cao Chun pondered.
"General, is it... Ji County is an empty city?" Chen Bin said.
Cao Chun waved his hand at the beginning, "How is it possible...well? It's really possible!"
This group of "Cabines" who emerged from somewhere killed Xiahou Heng and then chased and killed them all the way, leaving no one to guard Jixian!
"Emperor Chen!" Cao Chun thought of this and immediately ordered, "Let you lead 500 troops and go to Ji County immediately to check the truth and report it!"
Chen Bin swallowed, thinking that he would give him one thousand at least, only five hundred people...
If this really happens to the Cavalry Army, it will not be enough for people to get stuck in their teeth.
But looking at Cao Chun's appearance, he could only accept it, lower his head and leave.
...
...
Yishui, Yijing.
"Angel?!"
Wei Yan's eyes widened.
Yan Rou sighed and nodded, "Angel."
『Confirm?』 Wei Yan asked again, 『What is this angel doing here?』
Yan Rou sighed again, "What else can you do... mediate... both sides, ceasefire."
『Wait!』 Wei Yan slapped the table, 『Don't think about it!』
Yan Rou frowned.
『It's better...』 Wei Yan smiled and held the hilt tightly, 『This war is in chaos...』
Yan Rou shook her head, "It's not appropriate..."
This angel was not secretly coming. How many people saw it along the way, and then encountered a horse thief near Yi Jing and disappeared?
Even if you really encounter a horse thief, others won’t believe it!
"Then stop him! Stay in Yijing and don't let him go!" Wei Yan said again, but soon he shook his head, "This is useless... For them, we are the cavalry army, and staying here means they have already arrived! This is not possible, that is not possible, what should we do?!"
If Yi Jing was not in Wei Yan's hands, the angel would have to move forward. However, now Yi Jing is under the control of the cavalry army, it means that the angel has arrived at the place where the two sides are fighting. Whether to stop or not or not can't leave is not a very important issue.
What is important is whether to accept mediation...
For Wei Yan, of course he was unwilling to accept it.
Just kidding, I finally took over Yi Jing and could wrap the soldiers in Youzhou to eat. Seeing that the filling was almost wrapped in the skin, an angel came and wanted to draw a hole...
Wei Yan suddenly thought of something, his heart suffocated, and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes.
If the General of the Cavalry now takes Youzhou, from the current situation, he will definitely become the second "Dong Zhuo" and the second "rebellious traitor" that people from Shandong think.
Whether it is an angel, emperor, Cao Cao, or officials from various prefectures and counties, it is obvious that the General of the Cavalry occupied Youzhou to revitalize the Han Dynasty and the people of the world.
So this angel is simply evil!
If you accept it, it would be a waste of time to be beaten in the early stage. After finally counterattacking now, you have to stop.
If you don't accept it, then people in Shandong will use the excuse of General Cavalry to disrupt the country. Even if General Cavalry controls the court in the future, it will leave an indelible stain on these guys.
Just like the two Yuans.
Moreover, in addition to the Jingxiang faction, Guanzhong now has many other local officials and military academies. How will they view this matter?
Even if I don’t talk about it now, what about the future?
When General Fei Qian was in a lifetime, there might not be anyone making any fuss, but...
These Shandong people are really vicious with their intentions!
Seeing Wei Yan gritting his teeth, Yan Rou hurriedly said: "This matter must be decided by the cavalry... General, don't do it nonsense!"
Wei Yan sighed, "I know this...but have you ever thought about two problems... One is like this, how long will it take? If it fails in the end, wouldn't it be that Cao Thief delayed the trick? The other is that we all hold our breath. No matter what the angels are, now when we stop, our tone is relaxed..."
"Yes," Yan Rou nodded, "Then what do you think you want to do?"
Wei Yan walked around for a few times and suddenly clapped his hands, "I have it! Is it a way to drag it first! An angel... isn't it just an edict and a scepter... What will he do if the edict and a scepter are gone? If we don't beat him or kill him, let him go back and make another one, so that time will come out?"
Yan Rou stared at the sight, "You mean... it won't work, it won't work, we can't steal it either... it won't work! This will also affect the cavalry..."
Wei Yan smiled and said, "Of course we are not going... Don't forget, there are Cao troops here!"
Yan Rou blinked and said, "I understand. Then... try it first?"
『Absolutely I have to try it!』
Wei Yan snorted.
Seeing Wei Yan touching the handle of the knife again, Yan Rou had a headache, "I'll say it first, no matter what, I can't take my own initiative and hinder the cause of the cavalry!"
Wei Yan waved his hand, "I know!"
Seeing this, Yan Rou didn't say much, and left the hall first to handle military affairs.
...
...
Jixian.
The horse thief in the city smashed the restaurant and shop, and then put on the red and green banquets on the crossroads, eating meat and drinking.
I don’t know who heard from them, saying that the Cavalry Army was coming and Cao’s army was about to run away, so they made a three-color flag overnight, trying to catch fish in troubled waters.
After all, in this era of chaos, fishing in troubled waters is almost a necessary skill for horse thieves.
They almost fought for what the three-color flag was like.
The original plan of the horse thief was to sway around Jixian and scare the defenders in Jixian. Generally speaking, when the guards saw this situation, shouldn’t they put away the suspension bridge and guard the city gate? So they gave the horse thief a gap to rob the countryside.
As a result, no one expected that the Cao army in Ji County would actually see the horse thief and run away without saying a word!
this……
So the horse thief naturally rushed into Jixian County, just like a mouse falling into a rice jar!
What you can’t eat or wear on weekdays, now you’re pouring it into your mouth and putting it on your body like crazy!
Regardless of whether it is vomiting after eating too much, or whether it looks good on your body, or whether it is contaminated with oil.
At the beginning, these horse thieves were still worried about whether Cao's army would come back, but after waiting for a day or two, these guys naturally relaxed their vigilance and even came down to eat and drink at the sentry on the city wall.
In China, being a stalker is not something worth shining.
That's right, in the official announcement of the Han Dynasty, there is no "thief" in the world.
How can there be a "thief" under the bright world?
Even if there is one, it can only be called a "stalker", and it must not be called a "thief", otherwise it will not be able to pass the official review.
But if the official is not allowed to call it "thief", is there really no "thief"?
The more war and the more order and the more peaceful the more, the more "stalkers" there are, either proactively or forced...
Basically, these people are all people at the bottom.
Even if the gentry descendants are defeated and become poor families, they can still make a living in the clan. Even if they are not so comfortable, they sometimes have to bear the ridicule and scold the children of the big house owners. However, at least survival is not a problem, and they can even drink some wine from time to time to improve their lives. And these horse thieves basically cannot have any guarantee, and there are no extra rooms and vehicles for rent. If you want to fill your stomach, you can only work hard...
If you change the name, you will assume it does not exist. Perhaps only a great man can do it.
"In my opinion, we...we are here, here, here are the flag of righteousness!" A horse thief said with his tongue, "It's here! The flag of righteousness! It's still... what cavalry army...we are...what army is here?"
"Heaven... Heavenly King Army!" Another shouted with a wine bowl.
『Hahaha! Heavenly King Army!』
"For the sake of the Heavenly King Army, I did this bowl!"
『Oh oh oh oh…』
A group of people laughed and shouted, as if no one was around, and even some people didn't notice it when they came from the city gate.
When Chen Bin brought his men into Ji County, he saw the scene in front of him...
He couldn't help but be stunned.
Even his subordinates, widened their eyes and opened their mouths.
this……
What are these thieves who occupied Ji County?
What about Xiahou Heng?
What's going on?
A horse thief who was drunk and ate and urinated, left the street corner and shook a few times in the direction of Chen Bin and others. He almost fell to the ground. He finally stopped and was lifting his skirt, revealing his work toward Chen Bin and others. He looked up and saw Chen Bin with a dark face and Cao's soldiers covering the streets.
The thief tilted his head, as if trying to identify Chen Bin and others, and then he felt like he was stabbed, and suddenly started screaming, "Ah...ahhhhhh!"
Chapter completed!
