Chapter 266: Threading the Needle and Going Through the Thread!(2/2)
Although they are both cavalry, they are like two bottles made of different materials. One is made of pottery, which is fragile and vulnerable.
The other is made of diamond welding and is completely immune to any attacks.
The most eye-popping thing was the white cavalry who rushed out of the enemy's army.
The moment they rushed out, they held on to the reins tightly, then turned around and rushed back toward the enemy again.
Look at that posture, it seems that no matter how many enemies there are, I am fearless!
I don't know why, although this battle was obviously the first time the two sides met, they showed a kind of bloody righteousness as a young man.
While the two sides were fighting, Xi Yu, who was far away in the Bohai camp, was also busy in the middle of the night.
Listening to the battle reports reported by the generals, Xi Yu felt a little dazed.
A few years ago, I probably wouldn't have understood what these generals were saying.
After all, Cao Cao was around at that time, so I didn't need to worry about this at all as I had no intention of going to the battlefield.
So it doesn't matter whether you listen or understand.
But things are different now. Even if Guo Jia doesn't force himself, he probably has to study it carefully. Otherwise, when he leads his troops to the battlefield in the future, he will definitely make some unnecessary mistakes due to ignorance.
"We have already studied this map, and there is nothing wrong with it. However, the casualties of the troops have begun to gradually increase. The number of dead soldiers alone has exceeded 4,000, and there are countless injured soldiers."
Guo Jia frowned slightly, while scrolling the map, he said: "In addition, Zhao Yun's cavalry and Dian Wei's dead soldiers have not shown up yet, and the interior of Hejian County has been almost penetrated by us."
"Right now, all the more than twenty plans we made before the war have been implemented. It is expected that in three days, Cao's army will be unable to hold on and will be completely defeated."
"Under such a great situation, why do you have to go to the battlefield in person?"
Guo Jia didn't understand very much.
A while ago, Xi Yu defeated the enemy in three consecutive battles on the battlefield.
When he charged into the enemy's army single-handedly, it was as if he was in an uninhabited land. The more he fought, the braver he became, and no one in Cao's army could stop him.
If everyone hadn't been really worried that Xi Yu, who became more and more courageous as he fought, would suffer crazy revenge and assassination from the enemy because he was too dazzling on the battlefield, they probably wouldn't have strongly forced Xi Yu to leave the battlefield.
Yes, with the victory in three games, everyone is also afraid that the coach will be injured by an eyeless sword.
What if something happens to the coach? The current young master is still young, barely a four-year-old child, and has not yet established his footwork on a horse. How can he inherit Xi Yu's leadership?
Just because he only had one son and could not take over all the power he could inherit in a scattered way like Cao Cao did, he did not let himself go to the battlefield.
Thinking of the main reason why he was persuaded to leave the battlefield, Xi Yu was speechless and choked.
These people are making too much of a fuss.
Aren't you just too active and dazzling on the battlefield? What's the point? As for bringing the inheritance issue to the forefront?
"No, I have to fight this battle myself!"
He said that, but looking at the generals and counselors who were hesitant to speak, Xi Yu still sighed deeply and said: "Don't worry, everyone, I will put on hundreds of steel-making full armor before going to the battlefield this time.
Is this possible to put your minds at ease?"
Although I was a little helpless, I was still quite happy when I thought about being able to go to the battlefield.
You know, I am no longer the frail scholar I once was.
Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia were almost blistered after hearing the advice, but they couldn't resist Xi Yu's stubbornness at all.
In fact, Xi Yu knew what he was doing, and the reason why he insisted on going to the battlefield was to solve the problem.
Because he has not participated in many wars, he clearly feels that his strength will make a qualitative leap if he does not participate in a war.
Don't let go of such an opportunity to make yourself stronger.
In the end, the two people couldn't help but looked at each other and had no choice but to retreat: "I obey!"
With two military advisors present, Xi Yu quickly arranged the battle formation for the future.
Zhao Yun led the black cavalry to contain the enemy troops on the periphery of the war zone and resist Cao Jun's pursuit and attack. As for Dian Wei's dead soldiers, they would quietly appear in various places where they should and needed to appear.
In addition, there are tens of thousands of thousand-mile horses in the army, as well as well-armed elite soldiers and generals. However, Xi Yu is hesitant as to who should lead them now.
Without a coach, no matter how powerful these armies are, they will be in disarray and unable to exert any advantage.
Maybe... Zhang Liao and Gao Shun can?
These two people were old acquaintances, and they were still the commander-in-chief and deputy commander of the Xuzhou army. As the commander-in-chief, Zhang Liao had a very high prestige in the army.
Especially when he was in Hefei and killed Sun Ce's nearly 100,000 troops in one battle, it was even more impressive.
Even the soldiers in Qingzhou have probably heard of his reputation.
Furthermore, this guy already commanded tens of thousands of troops in Xuzhou, and he was very good at arranging and matching various soldiers and horses in the army. Now he was the perfect person to lead the army.
After thinking of a solution, Xi Yu quickly left the army without any burden.
It would be really ridiculous if anyone really thinks that they have to personally take charge in their own military camp.
In his own military camp, among the main camps of the Guang, Qing and Xu armies, there are at least a thousand people who can be chosen to take charge of their own affairs, not to mention the six thousand black and white cavalry and the four thousand dead soldiers.
Those who can be planned within these ten thousand people are all good at blocking a hundred people.
Just like that, in a corner where no one was paying attention, Xi Yu led three thousand soldiers and horses, ready to start "threading the needle".
Threading the needle and thread refers to more than twenty plans that have been formulated before.
Because there are many counties scattered along this line of Hejian County, and the guards within each county are also very scattered.
Therefore, having anticipated this, he divided the army into more than 20 parts before the war began, and issued different orders to each army, intending to make more efforts and attack them comprehensively.
At present, most of the troops have completed the assigned tasks and captured various passes and towns.
These inconspicuous places may not seem like much to the enemy, but as long as Xi Yu is willing to connect these large and small dots into lines, and then from line to surface, I am afraid that the entire Hejian County will be in his hands.
superior!
His plan was very detailed, but Xia Houchun across from him didn't know anything.
His subordinates reported one after another, which really made him a little confused.
What is Xi Yu doing? The battle has reached this level, why do you feel a little confused?
He was confused, but he was very playful.
Before he knew it, Xi Yu had already crossed the battlefield and arrived at Wen'an.
The general sent by the Cao family to guard Wen'an was Cao Jun, with five to six thousand troops at his disposal.
Previously, Wang Meng led soldiers from Qingzhou to attack Wen'an. Seeing that he was outmatched, he immediately led his army to abandon the city and flee. Now he is stationed less than a hundred miles away from Wen'an, always waiting for an opportunity to recapture Wen'an.
However, he never expected that before he could find a suitable opportunity, he would be caught by Xi Yu who was running across the river on horseback.
I saw him leading three thousand cavalry, leaping across the river, as if he had built a narrow bridge, and in the blink of an eye he reached Cao Jun's army camp.
Xi Yu raised the knife and killed everyone without leaving a trace.
With a casual bow and a shot, Cao Jun was sent to the underworld.
Without its backbone, Cao Jun's army suddenly fell into chaos.
When Wang Meng saw this, he quickly seized the opportunity and led his soldiers to fight out of Wen'an.
While killing the enemy, he also did not forget to order people to appease the people in the city.
When the two armies met, Wang Meng hurriedly saluted and said with a smile: "My lord, the general has fulfilled his mission. Now there are still 50,000 people left in the city!"
"Well, that's right. Let the people go to Bohai. You can lead the army and follow me!"
"promise!"
Xiyu, who had arranged everything long ago, carried out his plan in an orderly manner.
To this day, for him, taking Hejian County is like searching for something.
As soon as they joined Wang Meng's army, Xi Yu's original three thousand soldiers suddenly turned into tens of thousands.
He led these 6,000 people all the way south, and soon arrived at Shuzhou, and then rushed from the upper reaches of Heyazi to Chengping.
Along the way, whenever they encountered Cao Jun, they would strangle them as quickly as possible without mercy.
From then on, the battle line of Cao Pi's army could no longer bear it and began to retreat steadily.
Because all the soldiers led by Xi Yu were dead soldiers.
Death soldiers are different from soldiers. They are not afraid of death no matter where they are. They do not seek meritorious deeds or money. The only motivation that keeps them alive is to kill people for Xiyu.
