Chapter 5 Shaking hands and saying goodbye(2/2)
There was no need for Gongsun Xun to issue any further orders. The four generals Tian Chou, Tian Yu, Yang Kai, and Yuwen Heita, who were well prepared, immediately followed the previous orders, and each general's troops rushed forward to attack the two troops.
Yu Fuluo and Xu Bu took second place, and immediately led the Hun cavalry forward to cover Gongsun Xun's formation on the left and right sides, and also monitored the second battalion in the middle, which had not moved yet.
Under the flag of the white horse, Gongsun Xun, who had already understood what was going on, shook his head and laughed when he saw this, but he couldn't help but look at Xun You beside him, and then praised: "Wen He speaks directly to people's hearts, Gongda is ready for battle... The world
How can one be wiser than two military advisors?"
Jia Xu naturally didn't say much.
Xun You, on the other hand, was unhurried and calmly replied: "A mere clever trick can actually be defeated by force, but a mere force can stop it with one's life... Your Highness, Cao Mengde doesn't know what's coming, but it's not far away.
The battle may not be successful.”
Gongsun Xun nodded slightly at first, then shook his head slightly: "Ignore him, the matter is over, we have seized the opportunity and used all our main forces, so don't think about anything extra. No matter what, we can't break the local fortress."
, two cows and dogs must also be killed to sacrifice Guandu."
Xun You and Jia Xu looked at each other and said nothing.
The war broke out suddenly, and 30,000 cavalry came out, which was an overwhelming force. Faced with such a situation, after a moment of confusion, in the Cao army's camp, which was the largest camp at the end, Cao Ang, who had delayed his wedding because of the war, endured.
He couldn't help but look at his uncle who was not much older than him, Cao Chun, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry who arrived here yesterday afternoon.
Cao Chun's face was also pale. He didn't know whether he was afraid or angry!
It turned out that, as Xun You reminded Gongsun Xun, the main force of Cao's army had not arrived here.
In fact, although Cao's army noticed the Yan army's departure from the Pubei camp and immediately concluded that the opponent was probably going to bypass Guandu, they somewhat misjudged Gongsun Xun's determination and speed... They never expected that Gongsun Xun would
It will come so fast and come in so many.
This is not because they have no combat experience, nor is it that they are not smart enough, nor is it that they underestimate Gongsun Xun. In the final analysis, they lack knowledge and understanding of the use of cavalry at this level.
In the past, Xia Houyuan led thousands of cavalry, and he could often achieve five hundred in three days and one thousand in six days, but that was only a few thousand cavalry. So they never knew that even if there were tens of thousands of troops, when the troops were all cavalry, what would happen if they were like this?
When a cavalry unit temporarily abandons all its baggage and tries to march in a hurry, how terrible the speed will be!
Back to the front, at this moment, the four battalions in the front are only 18,000 soldiers and auxiliary soldiers. In the camp where Cao Ang is at the rear, there are only 3,000 tiger and leopard cavalry of Cao Chun, and the rest are full of soldiers.
All the people in the camp are civilians! If you can draw a bow and arrow without shaking your arms, thank God!
The staff is real. Cao Cao asked Cao Chun to bring it in advance to control the four generals Zhu, Huang, Chen, and Lu, and to calm people's hearts. The banner with the word Cao is not fake. This fortress was originally built by Cao Ang.
Stationed permanently, he was responsible for transporting grain and fodder while supervising the reinforcement of the fortress... Of course, the main reason was that Cao Zixiu had a very good relationship with Sun Ce, and he was about to marry Sun's daughter. This place was connected to Chenliu and Yingchuan, and had Sun's reinforcements.
Not to mention garrisoning, Yingchuan to the south is where Sun Ce's main force is located, so it is most suitable for Cao Ang to be here.
"Zixiu." On the general platform of the camp, the well-dressed Cao Chun glanced at the battle outside the camp from a distance. He only thought about it for a moment, then immediately panted and looked at his nephew beside him, as if he had made up his mind.
"Your father and your uncle Zixiao will probably arrive with the main force at night... It was my fault. I didn't listen to your father's instructions. I really shouldn't have closed the door."
Cao Ang nodded quickly: "So what can I do?"
"It's very simple." Cao Chun also nodded, but suddenly reached out and held his nephew's hands firmly, and gave him a standard answer. "Your uncle Miaocai can die, and of course you and I can die too.
But you can die only after I die! Even if you die, this camp cannot be lost! Do you understand?"
After saying this, he gave up without waiting for Cao Ang's reply. Then he got on his horse in front of the general platform, waved his whip, and called for an order to dispatch the entire army of three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry! The target was Zhang, who was attacking the most fiercely on the left wing.
Where the word banner is!
For a moment, Cao Ang, who stayed where he was, could only nod in a daze at his uncle who never looked back to show his order.
————I am the dividing line in the first battle of Guandu————
"Cao was stationed in Punan... Cha Xun was heading west. He knew that he wanted to visit Guandu, so he sent troops west to support him. On the way, he checked the Hebei cavalry. He was afraid that he would not be able to catch up. So he sent Cao Chun to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to go ahead with integrity. Before leaving, he announced
He said: "I know that Gongsun Wenqi is decisive in his military use, but he only cares about the lives of his soldiers and is unwilling to attack fortresses. Guandu originally has a fortress. When I arrive, the civilians should plant banners densely inside, open the four gates, and arrange the troops in the formation."
I went to visit him and only talked about the story of Qiao County. When he saw that the camp was thick and the forts were high, and there were soldiers rushing forward, he must be suspicious and not take it.' Chunfang arrived at the Guandu camp, but before he could reach it, Xun led a hundred thousand cavalry and rushed there.
, The iron horse and the golden sword were intimidating all sides, and they were so scared that they hesitated to leave the base. Xun laughed when he saw it, and looked around and said: "This must be a suspicious soldier." Then the whole army attacked fiercely." - "Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty"
