In April, the seasons are unpredictable and the weather is uncertain. The day before yesterday was thunderstorms, and today it was sunshine. ◇↓◇↓Xiao◇↓ said that since God is willing enough, he cannot let it go, right? So the two armies sent messengers to each other, and sent messages to fly arrows to make an appointment to start a war.
Early in the morning, drums and thunder sounded, the gate opened wide, and the soldiers of the two armies came out one after another. The servants carried the load, the auxiliary soldiers arranged defense, the infantry formed a formation, and the cavalry guarded. Whether it was the enemy or us, they were arranged the same, and it was obvious that a collision between stones and iron balls was about to occur.
Cao Cao sat in a green-covered car, with a bunch of armor and a shiny iron helmet. He sat upright with his sword, like a general. Although Cao Cao's strength was the weakest among the three coalition forces at this time, he was the highest in terms of his former official title. Cao Cao's previous position was the governor of Yanzhou, Liu Bei was the governor of Yuzhou, and Sun Quan was only the prefect of a county. However, after the defeat of Shouchun, the elite of the Cao family lost all their elites, and their strength plummeted and ranked at the bottom. Moreover, because the official title was taken to the end, the world was wanted, and he could not recruit soldiers, and he could not get the support of the money and valley of the aristocratic families. His strength became weaker day by day, and it was difficult to rise again.
At present, Sun Quan is the strongest in the three families of Sun, Cao and Liu. Although he lost all the land in Jiangdong and lost his troops, he still had a lot of talents and took over Jiangxia's troops. His vitality was not damaged and his strength was still there.
Liu Bei had the least force, only more than 3,000 people (mainly Guan Yu buried 2,000 people), but most of the old soldiers were quite powerful. Just like sand, it seemed small, but it hurts teeth.
Cao Cao had a little more troops than Liu Bei, about 5,000. In addition to more than a thousand surrendered soldiers in the Battle of Jingling, most of them were county soldiers left behind in Yuzhou. In the Cao army sequence, these soldiers were just miscellaneous soldiers between the auxiliary soldiers and the main soldiers. After the cruel war elimination, a group of elite soldiers might emerge, but one of them had to have a suitable training target and opportunity to train. The Jiangxia army was a good training team, but unfortunately they finished the game too quickly, and now their opponent was the Dragon Wolf Army.
At this moment, Cao Cao was staring at the "Le" flag on the opposite camp, and even the military formation on the side cracked. Cao Pi led Liu Bei's envoy Sun Qian to arrive, but he didn't even pay attention.
Cao Pi and Sun Qian saluted Cao Cao in the chariot.
Cao Pi said: "Shi Shi Sun has military information to inform the general."
Cao Cao slowly turned his head and smiled on his face: "Thank you for your hard work, Gongyou."
Sun Qian bowed and said, "I dare not, the third general who spyed on the enemy's situation. Qian could only recount what he got, but the third general who really worked hard."
Cao Cao's smile remained unabated: "Wide worked hard and hard work in Gongyou, but it is really a mysterious arm, which is really enviable."
Sun Qian also smiled: "Mr. Cao has a good literary style, but he will be more than me."
Cao Cao felt sad and sighed, speechless for a moment.
Xun Yu is indeed a top talent, but unfortunately, he can only use his brain at the moment. He can't get started and get sick at any time. He hires famous doctors in Jianghuai, but the diagnosis results are no more than two years. At this time, there is less than a year left...
At this time, I heard Sun Qian’s announcement: “The person who came was the head general of the right-road army of the Dragon Wolf Army, and the general of Zhennan Le Jin…”
Cao Cao slapped the shaft of the car: "It's indeed this guy!"
Sun Ganxu said: "There are also following the captain Gao Lan behind."
Cao Cao's expression became a little serious: "Gao Yuanbo is a famous Hebei general, so he should not be underestimated."
Sun Gan said again: "There are a large number of ships on the Bashui River, which are the Dragon Wolf Navy Army. The main general is Li Dian, the left governor of the Navy Army..."
Cao Cao's face looked even more ugly, not fear, but hatred. His decline arose from this person. But in a blink of an eye, Cao Cao's face turned from shade to sunny, and he smiled. It's interesting now, both of his former subordinates have come and they are still opponents. So, whether it is the former lord or the former subordinates are strong, you can see the true chapter today.
Sun Gan then reported the information: "From the current situation, Le Jin was the leader of the general and led more than 2,000 infantry and cavalry, traveling day and night, and arrived at Shigouzi in two days. It is reported that the thousands of infantry commanded by Gao Lan were marching urgently, and it was still half a day away; and Li Dian's navy had not yet set off."
Cao Cao's eyes lit up, this was an opportunity.
Sun Gan also smiled and said, "Duke Xuande also believes that it is a good opportunity to break the enemy."
Originally, this confrontation was just a battle of tentative contact, but now it seems that we can do our best.
Cao and Liu combined troops, with a total of 8,000 troops, regardless of the main and auxiliary soldiers. All strong and brave soldiers must go to the battlefield, so there are at least 5,000 soldiers available. Among them, there are 300 cavalrymen, 100 Cao's army, and 200 Liu Bei's army. All of them are elite. Liu Bei had a hundred cavalry, and Guan and Zhang each had fifty cavalry, all of which were white warriors.
Cao Cao's hundreds of cavalry were elite entourages who stayed in Yuzhou to protect Xun Yu. Cao Cao did not expect that his actions of caring for his subordinates would leave him the last bit of elite soldiers. Not to mention that all the troops and horses he had at hand came from Xun Yu's efforts. Whenever he thought about it, Cao Cao felt sad and sad.
Five thousand vs. two thousand, the troops have an advantage, but once Gao Lan and Le Jin join forces, the two armies will be even. When Li Dian comes, I am afraid it will be their turn to be the advantage.
Taking advantage of Le Jin's light army to advance and defeat him with all his strength. Gao Lan and Li Dian will hesitate. At that time, when the victory is taken, the two generals will be defeated and they will be able to win this battle.
Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong. The sound of shocking drums came from the other side, interrupting Cao Cao's reverie. Looking up, he saw that Lejin's army had already set up its formation, and then he looked at his own army and Liu Bei's right-wing army formation, and they were almost finished lined up.
Cao Cao pressed his sword and stood up, stepped on the shaft of the carriage, looked at him with a look. After a while, he suddenly laughed: "The army of Youxing can be broken."
Cao Cao was very good at finding the opponent's flaws from the enemy's formation. The Longwolf infantry on the other side was quite scattered, just like his newcomer in Yuzhou. It seemed that he was also a new recruit. The enemy's formation was unstable, so he had an opportunity to take advantage of it.
After listening to his father's teachings, Cao Pi looked around for a long time and saw some tricks. After a while of happiness, he frowned and said, "Can this be the trap set by Le Jin? After all, he was leading the striker, and it should be the elite."
Cao Cao laughed and said, "It's great that my son can think more. However, I have been fighting for my father for many years, and I dare not say anything else. Is it true or false to an army's unstable formation true or false?"
Cao Pi quickly apologized, but Cao Cao just waved his hand with a smile.
Is Cao Cao misjudged it, or is he showing his enemy as weak?
The answer is, Cao Cao read it right, and Le Jin is also showing his enemy as weak. It sounds contradictory, but in fact the truth is.
Le Jin's vanguard army had a total of 2,300 troops. Apart from the pure warriors, nearly 300 were auxiliary soldiers. As an important logistics force, it is indispensable for any army. Of course, you cannot expect the auxiliary soldiers to be able to discharge the spirit of the main soldiers formation.
Le Jin played a trick here. He mixed the auxiliary soldiers into the regular stroke and used them as the main combat power. He divided the nearly Thousand Dragon Wolf Cavities into two, half of them fighting, and half hidden disguising at least as a reconnaissance Zhang Fei failed to detect the abnormality.
If the auxiliary soldiers get into the main soldiers, they will naturally have an impact on the formation of troops. The chaos and dissonance from time to time cannot escape Cao Cao's fierce vision. Another more important point is that the weak point of the Barbarian Camp, which formed a separate formation on the other side, is the formation of troops.
Strictly speaking, the Barbarians are special forces and can be used for surprise soldiers rather than regular soldiers. The barbarians are brave and powerful, but discipline is a weakness. It is actually quite difficult to make them line up in close formations and fight against the enemy with the power of a group. Le Jin spent five times more time training than ordinary troops to barely allow these guys whose muscles grew into their heads to form a sloppy square formation. In the eyes of Cao Cao, this naturally became a symbol of insufficient training.
It has to be said that due to Cao Cao's failures over the years and his continuous shrinkage, his understanding of the Dragon Wolf Army was not deep enough. At least he did not know that Le Jin actually had an unheard of barbarian camp.
Therefore, Cao Cao read it correctly, but he missed it; and the fact that he was a little too much about showing weakness was that he had a tendency to become really weak, of course, if he didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to get caught.
Cao Cao informed his views and analysis to Liu Bei on the right wing through Sun Qian, and at the same time revealed his plan. Soon, Sun Qian returned and bowed, "Only Cao Gong's order is to follow."
The plan was decided, Cao Cao called Xiahou Yuan, and Liu Bei ordered people to inform Zhang Fei and each took action.
In order to conceal the operation of the surprise troops, the front military formation must also take action. The right-wing Liu Bei army formation first ran out, with a long red horse and a long sword, a flying robe, and a clanging iron armor. In the blink of an eye, he came to the wooden bridge of the tributary of the water, and pointed to the long sword: "I am the long Yunchang of the Hedong Pass. Le Wenqian, it is reported that the Dragon Wolf Army is the first to climb, and it is brave. Come on, you and I are on this bridge of water, and we will compete with each other, so that the soldiers of the three armies can see clearly who is the first to climb."
Le Jin smiled faintly when he heard this, raised his hand, signaled to spread left and right, held a spear and shield, and went out to the crowd, and said loudly: "Chief Guan Yun, is it not to climb first? It is not to be more brave than who is more brave, but to see who dares to seize the city first. A certain person conquered the three Koreans, destroyed the seventeen cities and villages, and climbed first thirteen times. In which war has he taken the first move?"
Guan Yu was speechless. He had killed generals in a thousand troops, but he had never made a first attack. Before he could feel ashamed, Le Jin's next sentence almost made him vomit blood.
Le Jin said: "... Guan Yunchang, like you, who are fleeing in the water, are not worthy of fighting with me, Le Jin, and Yao Wu. Let's change your brother Zhang Yide! As for you, you should find an opportunity to challenge a certain lord. No matter what you win or lose, you can re-establish his courage. By then, if you want to fight with me, Le will be with you at any time!"
This slap in the face... Guan Yu's face was not particularly red at first, but now it was really bloody.
"ah"
Guan Yu was furious, but he had no face to really rush forward to challenge Le Jin. His anger gathered all over the blade and slashed down angrily.
Scratch! Boom!
