- Chapter 176 "Three Tigers Trouble in Cao Camp"
Today, Cao Jun¡¯s actions were very proactive. Wei Yan¡¯s troops had not yet fully set up their formation. Cao Jun, led by Xu Huang and Li Dian, fought out more than 10,000 men from the camp. *1*1* The Shu soldiers were also different from the past. After the two sides entered a melee and the Shu soldiers began to be at a disadvantage, Wei Yan did not immediately order the troops to retreat, but gritted his teeth and fought for a while longer.
The two sides fought for nearly two hours, and finally Wei Yan commanded the Shu troops to retreat. Some soldiers were undoubtedly captured by Cao Jun. Of course, those few soldiers who were panicking when they were gathering just now - Cao Jun's Xizuo also took advantage of the chaos and returned to their hometown. Everything is so natural and seamless.
As soon as the Shu soldiers withdrew, Cao Jun chased after them, killing those lagging and injured soldiers. The game did not end until other troops in the Shu camp came out to respond.
This battle is a rare battle in which both sides are happy. Whether it was the Cao army that won a small victory or the Shu soldiers that suffered a small setback.
Later, the Shu camp did not take any action to mobilize troops to identify who was Cao Jun's spy and who was Soochow's spy. It only secretly strengthened its counter-espionage force. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the Shu soldiers even arrested the soldier who said in the team who had gotten up before the explosion, it might be Xizao, because after returning to the camp, he was still smugly promoting his method, which made people panic. . At Pang Tong's suggestion, Liu Jia simply beheaded the soldier the next day for disturbing the morale of the army, and lined up his head with the carefully crafted heads for public display. It was only then that the atmosphere of mutual suspicion slowly subsided. The careful soldiers in the Shu camp still vaguely saw some differences from the past: the number of soldiers guarding some key positions increased significantly.
Soon Cao Cao also obtained relevant information, which was obtained after comprehensive consideration of information from all aspects. Especially after comparing this information with the information obtained from the prisoners, Cao Cao completely believed the information. If someone analyzes the information that Cao Cao firmly believes in, he will find that most of this information came from Wei Yan's mouth. Precisely because they came from the mouth of Wei Yan, a barbarian general, they are even more convincing, and his words have been confirmed many times by detailed intelligence.
Now Cao Cao finally confirmed that the gunpowder in the Shu camp was about one thousand kilograms. Five of the gunpowder carts used nearly five hundred kilograms, and another five hundred kilograms were ready to be loaded on other cars in the near future. He also confirmed that the gunpowder was only buried in The effect is best in the land. With only a hundred kilograms of gunpowder loaded on the cart, their power is very limited. Although it can kill many people around it, the range of action is only about one foot. It is far from enough to kill a few people and destroy the thick city wall; but you must not let the Shu soldiers push this kind of gunpowder cart. If you get into the group of soldiers on your side, you may be able to kill dozens of people at once. Killing dozens of people is not a big problem. The problem is that it can greatly damage our morale.
After understanding this, Cao Cao finally felt relieved. He fully believed that he just had to hold on for a while longer. When the weather gets colder, it will not help if Liu Jia adds ten more gunpowder carts. The balance of victory is definitely on his side. No matter what, even if Liu Jia is defeated and escapes in the end, it is impossible for Ma Chao to escape from his grasp. Heartfelt.
Although he also heard that Liu Jia also transported a black liquid called Shiqi from Chengdu, which can be ignited and burn for a long time. But he didn't take it to heart. Because someone has told him for sure that the thing called stone paint is dug out of the ground. The burning ability is similar to that of tung oil, so there is nothing to fear. Stone paint may be useful against beasts that are afraid of fire, but it has little effect on the crowds in the ice and snow. It only serves to keep the soldiers on one side warm. If you are worried, you can use tung oil to fight them.
"Haha, fighting with tung oil? I am not that prodigal. If you want to use fire attack, you can use firewood, saltpeter, and sulfur instead." Cao Cao smiled and shook his head. From then on, the suspicious Cao Cao slept more peacefully.
Cao Cao felt at ease. And Liu Jia also started to take action.
One morning, before the sky was bright, nearly 60,000 troops, led by generals such as Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wu Tugu, and E Huan, quietly set out with eight gunpowder carts. After daybreak, Wei Yan led 5,000 soldiers to challenge Cao's camp as usual.
By the way, where is the fierce general Ma Dai? Ma Dai was ordered by Liu Jia to do other things.
After the troops set up their formation, Wei Yan began to command the soldiers to curse. After they were exhausted, Cao Jun followed the usual practice and killed Cao Jun. The 10,000 Cao troops led by Le Jin still followed the old routine: charge with the whole army. The two sides soon entered into a tangled battle, and it didn't take long before the Shu soldiers withdrew and Cao's army pursued them. The chase lasted less than two miles. On the left, Zhao Yun and E Huan arrived with 30,000 soldiers. On the right, Huang Zhong and Wutu Gu led 30,000 troops and charged forward. Wei Yan also turned around and charged into Cao's army.
Le Jin didn¡¯t panic too much when he saw it, he just shouted: ¡°Get out!¡±
Because you attack me like this"I've seen you ambush me and attack me many times." As long as you enter the military camp and close the camp gate, your troops will be useless at best. Not only because the camp is strong and there are many archers, but also because the camp is located across a mountain pass. Although the mountain is not high, it is relatively steep. It is even more difficult to climb because of the ice. , so the defenders had many convenient conditions, the battlefield was very narrow, and the Shu soldiers could not deploy at most. The Cao army in the camp directly faced the attack of 20,000 Shu soldiers at most. Of course, the number of troops coming from Shu can be constantly renewed, so that 20,000 fresh troops can always participate in the attack. But there are 60,000 defenders in the camp, so they can take turns defending. Moreover, there are hundreds of thousands of Cao troops in the city behind the camp to support them. As people on both sides who know military knowledge know clearly, as long as an additional 100,000 soldiers and sufficient bows and arrows are added, the Shu army will have more than 200,000 soldiers. It is difficult to conquer this camp. In the past, Cao Cao's army was afraid of the Shu soldiers' gunpowder, but now that they heard that the gunpowder was no more than that, they no longer worried. Cao Cao and his generals believed that with this camp and the Wei Mi City behind them, they could definitely prevent Liu Jia and Ma Chao from joining together. .
Le Jin is not afraid that it is true, but there is no guarantee that Cao Jun will be able to successfully escape the three-sided pursuit of Shu soldiers. Especially this time, the 60,000 horses led by Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are all the best of the best, and there are many cavalry among them. They soon involved thousands of Cao's troops.
Le Jin knew that it was meaningless to fill it in, but because generals have their own blood, seeing his subordinates being cut off so easily by Shu soldiers also aroused anger in his heart, and he shouted The soldiers under his command ran quickly, but he consciously reined in his horse, and fought with the Shu soldiers who rushed in front of him, retreating while fighting. Because Le Jin risked his life, the morale of Cao's army improved somewhat: those who escaped ran faster. The courageous Cao soldiers followed Le Jin and fought to the death. Some even shouted: "General Le, retreat quickly. The younger one will fight to the death to seize the rear!"
Although the few Cao troops mustered up their courage, compared to the more than 60,000 elite Shu soldiers, the resistance they played was too small. Especially Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others were not able to defeat Cao Jun. When faced with Zhao Yun's silver spear, Huang Zhongdi's sword was more like a harvesting sickle in a wheat field. He could lift enemies to death and chop people to death; Wei Yan's sword was more like a harvesting sickle in a wheat field. Not inferior, sweeping the enemy troops into two sections. Cao's army was cut into two pieces vertically; Wu Tu Gu and E Huan were naturally like hungry tigers entering the flock
Le Jin's bloodiness disappeared without a trace in front of these perverted generals. He could no longer care about his subordinates calling him father and mother. He hung his weapon on the saddle and reined the horse in one hand and held the whip in the other. , shouted loudly: "Drive!" and just concentrated on running away.
When Zhao Yun saw Le Jin in front of him, he turned around and ran away. In the midst of his busy schedule, he shouted to Huang Zhong, who was about to kill him: "General Huang, Le Jin has escaped!"
Huang Zhong understood immediately when he heard this, and blamed himself for being too intoxicated with slashing but finishing the business. While quickly pulling out the bow and arrows from the quiver beside the desk, he fully drew the bow and shouted: "Hit!"
The arrow rushed towards Le Jin's location like a shooting star. After Huang Zhong shot the arrow, he quickly put the arrow back into his quiver without even looking at it. He used the sword to kill again. Now his body was covered with blood. The golden sword in his hand turned from golden to brown, and even the white His beard was also stained red by the splash of blood.
The arrow quickly caught up with Le Jin who was galloping on his horse. Le Jin yelled and rolled off his horse. The black horse neighed and ran away, leaving its owner behind. Cao Jun nearby was in a panic. If the people around him hadn't fought hard to protect him, he might have been trampled to pieces by the fleeing Cao Jun.
Le Jin's guard general helped him up with difficulty, and just managed to put him on another horse. He woke up from a coma and screamed again, struggling to get off the horse. With his back, he screamed: "Asshole! Ouch, my butt there is still an arrow stuck in my butt! Hiss - "
Only then did the subordinates around him know the reason why Le Jin suddenly fell off his horse. It turns out he was hit by an arrow! The family general finally saw the arrow feathers left outside through the gaps in his shirt. His hands flew astronomically. As soon as you grab the arrow fletching, drag it out. I don't know whether God is merciful or Le Jin should not die, but he immediately felt that someone behind him was trying to force the arrow out. So he immediately screamed: "You can't pull it out! Do you want this general this general to become a eunuch and die immediately right now?"
Now everyone didn¡¯t know what to do. In the end, Le Jin came up with a solution by himself and said to a confidant: "You can hold me up sideways and just that's it."
The problem was finally solved, Le Jin did not die or become an eunuch, and his general's flag followed him to the camp.
But what Le Jin didn't know was that the Shu soldiers on both sides had already caught up, and they were rushing towards the camp almost abreast of him. If you stood far away, you couldn't tell who was Cao's army and who was Shu. Of course, you can still tell if you look carefully. Coming out: Shu soldiers are in high spirits.Now that he was sure to win, Cao Jun was discouraged and his eyes were dull.
It turns out that Huang Zhong¡¯s original intention was not to kill people but to stop the enemy. He hoped to use Le Jin¡¯s identity to allow the Shu soldiers to attack Cao Jun¡¯s camp relatively safely.
Xu Huang and others who were in Cao's camp soon learned that a large number of Shu soldiers had been killed outside. Le Jin was ambushed by Shu soldiers and was injured by an arrow. So he left Li Dian to guard the stronghold, while he and Han Hao ordered 10,000 troops and rushed out to respond. He didn't run very far when he encountered a group of soldiers who were running fast. He stood in front of the team with an ax and ordered the soldiers to retreat to both sides of the group and not allow them to collide with his own group.
Although these broken soldiers were running on both sides according to his orders, Xu Huang's mood became more and more serious because he found that today's Shu soldiers were very different from the past. They were particularly capable of fighting and were advancing very fast. Liu Jia's current most powerful soldiers were All the generals who can fight have come out. Today is definitely different: "Are they going to attack the stronghold by force today?"
Thinking of this, Xu Huang immediately turned to Han Hao and said: "General Han, please lead your soldiers to retreat back to the camp immediately. Maybe the Shu soldiers will forcefully attack the stronghold today."
"Yes!" Han Hao obviously noticed that today was unusual and replied loudly. As he reined in his horse and turned around, he asked casually, "What about General Xu? Why don't you retreat together?".
"I have to wait for General Le. As soon as I receive General Le, I will withdraw." Xu Huang stared ahead. replied quickly.
Immediately, Cao Jun turned around and retreated under the command of General Han Hao. Only Xu Huang, who was standing on horseback with a big ax in his hand, and his guard generals were left. The defeated soldiers who were running on both sides of the road screamed happily and ran onto the road again, continuing to run towards the camp.
"Why is General Le so slow?" Seeing that the defeated troops were swarming more and more, the Shu soldiers had already reached a place not far from him, but Le Jin hadn't shown up yet, even though his general's flag was not very far away from him: "Why did the Shu soldiers walk in front of Le Jin?"
Xu Huang shouted loudly to the front: "Where is your General Le?"
"Go back to General Xu, General Le is here!" A young general under General Le Jin responded after hearing this.
General Xu Huang was a little surprised when he heard this. But I am somewhat relieved. He shouted: "You brave Shu soldiers and thieves will take my axe!" As he said this, he headed towards the nearest Shu soldiers on the left to kill him.
The soldiers of Shu had already seen Xu Huang and recognized him. Seeing him coming with an ax to chop, several people rushed to greet him. Soon the Shu soldiers on the left fought with Xu Huang and Xu Huang's guards and generals.
Although the Shu soldiers on the right saw the fighting on the left, they still rushed forward as usual, and soon surpassed Xu Huang and headed towards the camp. At this time, Xu Huang, who had the upper hand, also understood the intentions of the Shu soldiers, and Zhao Yun and E Huan were about to kill them. He quickly struck a few times with his axe, then turned around and ran away, shouting as he ran: "Hurry up and enter the village!"
A young Shu soldier pointed his gun and shouted: "Where can Xu Huang, the defeated general, escape? I'll leave you to die!" While shouting, he held an iron gun with both hands and stabbed Xu Huang hard in the back, shining brightly. The tip of the spear penetrated the black and red fluttering shirt and went straight to Xu Huang's back
"Huh?" Cao Jun was stunned when he saw the situation, and his mouth opened wide.
A general of Xu Huang¡¯s family shouted out loud: ¡°General, be careful!¡±
?????????????? It was too late, then it was fast, just when the young general who made the sneak attack felt that he was about to succeed, he was about to laugh. I saw Xu Huang swinging his right hand back quickly, and a dazzling white light flashed from the snow-white ax head towards the person behind him. The white light hit the person's neck, but he did not stop there and continued to move forward until he was only a foot away. After that, a red arrow shot up and a head flew up. The head is far away from the body, but the eyes are still shining with excitement, happiness, and joy. His mouth is still moving, and the laughter is still going on: "Haha"
It¡¯s just that the sound cannot come out because the throat was cut with a sharp axe, so the shape of the mouth can only be used to indicate it slightly. It can be said that he died the happiest person in this battle. It's the land. He was still happy until his life was completely gone.
Xu Huang naturally didn¡¯t know what happened behind him, and he didn¡¯t have time to see and understand. The big ax was swung back and then immediately brought back to the chest. At the same time, he drove his horse forward to stop the Shu soldiers who were running further.
As he galloped forward, the iron spear that penetrated the shirt was still hanging on his body, being dragged away by the shirt. The owner of the iron gun was taken off the horse and rolled to the ground, his hands stretched out in vain. Facing the direction of the iron gun
After several twists and turns, Xu Huang protected Le Jin to the entrance of the camp, and the Shu soldiers arrived here almost without risk. Because they were mixed with the retreating Cao soldiers, although there were many archers in Cao's camp, they could only shoot at places where there were no Cao soldiers. Especially when the general Xu Huang was still outside, the two generals Li Dian and Han Hao could not Those soldiers who dared to shoot without distinction between friends and foes were even more cautious, fearing that they would be punished if they shot one of their own.
When the Shu soldiers, led by the barbarian general E Huandi, stormed the gate of the village,At this time, Li Dian and Han Hao put aside everything else and only cared about the gains and losses of the village gate. They commanded their elite soldiers to rush towards the village gate and drove away the few Shu soldiers who had entered the village gate regardless of casualties. The soldiers in other places almost fought independently. Although it was not said that they were leaderless, the chaos of the battle was still obvious. The Shu soldiers took advantage of the situation and expanded towards both sides of the village gate.
When Xu Huang, Li Dian, Han Hao and others spent a lot of effort to drive away or kill the Shu soldiers who entered the village gate, rescued the half-dead Le Jin, and closed the village gate, Cao soldiers A very strange phenomenon was discovered, that is, the Shu soldiers started to retreat! Although they were still next to the camp, they all had their backs to the camp, and they were moving quickly outside, leaving countless stunned soldiers behind.
Xu Huang, like other generals, looked at the outside of the camp with blood and flesh in amazement just now, thinking about the same question: "They finally rushed to the camp, why did they retreat like this? Why didn't they take advantage of the chaos we are having now?" Try to attack by force?"
Han Hao asked in a low voice: "General Xu, why did they withdraw like this? Are they still withdrawing when they can't attack like before? But their posture today is really a bit different."
Just when Xu Huang didn¡¯t know how to answer him, the soldiers around him suddenly shouted excitedly:
"The army of Shu was defeated!"
"The Shu soldiers fled with their tails between their legs again!"
"Let's chase after him!"
"Yes! Go ahead!"
"General Xu, let's quickly open the gate of the village and chase him!"
"Chase! General Xu, let's kill him and avenge our brothers!"
¡¡
Xu Huang was indeed moved by Cao Bing's rare initiative to invite a fight. It's great to be able to survive in this icy and snowy environment, and there are actually soldiers who actively ask for a fight.
