Chapter 205

Everyone present was full of heroism. Those simple-minded generals thought at that time: What is Cao Cao? It's just a target for us to train new recruits. Sili, what is Yanzhou? It's just that we can't take down Sili, Yanzhou. It's just that Cao Cao who stays in Sili, Yanzhou is still useful to us. It can play a role in training our new recruits. Therefore, Cao Cao was kept. Hehe! It's really impossible to see that General Zhao, who is usually taciturn, actually

It is really impressive to have such courage! After those smart officials, such as Guo Jia and others, after calculating the gains and losses of the war, they really felt that even if the situation had any adverse changes, the Youzhou army could retreat safely with the assistance of the navy. If the Youzhou army makes a breakthrough, the blow to Cao Cao and Liu Bei would be too great. With the weighing of interests and risks, they all felt that Zhao Yun's wise move was indeed full of correctness.

I really can't tell that General Zhao has such a urgency. No wonder his lord valued him so much. It seems that there is no reason for it now!

Zhao Yun's words not only resolved the dilemma at that time, but also improved morale. The most important thing was to improve his status in the hearts of everyone! The plan was determined, and the army in Youzhou immediately started to operate! First, Ding Feng's navy lined up along the river and controlled the safe range two miles south of the river bank. Then, the navy's troop transport ships quickly traveled between the two sides to transport the troops gathered by Zhao Yun across the river. After landing, the troops did not advance quickly.

Instead, he buried the deer antlers, set up a defensive formation, and waited for the battle to cover the landing of the subsequent troops. The actions of the Youzhou army were all seen in Yan Liang's eyes. However, the impeccable actions of the Youzhou army and Yan Liang's troops all determined that Yan Liang could not take the risk of attacking. He could only stay in the camp, use the narrowness of the Guandu Pass to block the road and prevent the Youzhou army from advancing. As the entire Youzhou army on the north bank was able to cross the river, the war was about to break out.

It is precisely because of the change of Zhao Yun's combat objectives. The battle to wipe out Cao Cao was characterized as a training battle for training recruits. The generals under Zhao Yun were also very generous. Originally, things were like this. Without the huge pressure on the outcome of the war. Who wouldn't these generals want to perform well? Who wouldn't want to show off their talents in front of Zhao Yun, the lord's most trusted junior brother, and Guo Jia, the lord's most respected strategist, and arouse the lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's

Pay attention and use? Especially after the army was assembled, in order to cultivate talents and promote new people. Zhao Yun was the commander-in-chief of this battle. Guan Hai was the vanguard general this time, and even Lu Bu was reused. As the deputy general of the vanguard general, Guo Jia and a group of strategists were just following the army to senate. Everything was led by Zhao Yun to fight with a group of newly promoted generals. Can these newly promoted generals, tooth generals, lieutenants, etc. not be excited?

Unfortunately, due to the impeccable defense of the Youzhou crossing the river troops, Yan Liang did not send troops to harass the battle. After Zhao Yun's troops crossed the river, Guan Hai tried to challenge the enemy's rebuke, but also did not cause Yan Liang's counterattack. Yan Liang just hurried in the camp and was prepared for defense. What a joke, go out to fight? Not to mention that the number of opponents is more than his own troops, their defense is also impeccable. Even Lu Bu, who was trying to challenge the enemy's rebuke in front of the formation, made Yan Liang scared.

Three points! What a joke is Youzhou Army! This pervert, Lu Bu, can only be an adjutant of a vanguard general, to challenge the enemy and scold the enemy. What chance of winning is that he has! You must know that when the battle between Hulao Pass, he and Wen Chou were still defeated by Lu Bu! Now he is fighting in front of the formation. If he fights with him, isn’t he looking for death? Although Yan Liang thinks that since the battle between Hulao Pass, he has improved his martial arts, but he is still a little guilty when facing Lu Bu!

Yan Liang's correct and rogue method even though Zhao Yun and others admired him, they also made the generals who were determined to make achievements resentful. As the commander of this battle, Zhao Yun, already knew that time was urgent in the previous meeting. Yan Liang could afford time, but his army would definitely not have time. If Yan Liang's reinforcements came, the training battle would be over. His army would have to retreat as planned, and his performance would be considered a mediocre talent. This is something he would never tolerate!

Zhao Yun, who had made a clear decision, made a secret decision. Since Yan Liang did not dare to respond, he should take the initiative to attack. In short, he and Yan Liang were also fellow villagers. As the saying goes, when a fellow villager sees a fellow villager, he will be polite to take him! However, out of caution, Zhao Yun was still preparing to send some soldiers to test Yan Liang's defense deployment and Yan Liang's counterattack ability. With Zhao Yun's order, the first batch of ten thousand swords and shield soldiers, led by Lu Bu, rushed forward with great momentum, intending to break through Yan Liang's camp in one fell swoop.

Lu Bu and these soldiers were very powerful, especially Lu Bu, which was his first battle since joining the Youzhou Army! Over the past few days, he has understood how powerful the Youzhou Army is! He also knows that if he wants to realize his ideal, he must perform well in the Youzhou Army! But Yan Liang's defense deployment is indeed not weak. Thinking about the fact that Cao Cao appointed Yan Liang to station in Guandu, Liu Bin was determined to guard against. The strength of the Youzhou Army was so powerful that Cao Cao was a big army. He was not stingy about the military supplies needed for the troops stationed in Guandu? Therefore, now Yan Liang is prepared for it, whether it is crossbow arrows, carved feathers, gray bottles, or rolling wood. Now he is occupying

The small camp on Guandu Road was like an iron bucket under Yan Liang's belief that he was determined to defend himself. The crossbow arrows and carved feathers in the sky were shot out endlessly. At the same time, countless gray bottles exploded among the soldiers led by Lu Bu from time to time. Countless strands of lime powder gathered into a white smoke. The sword and shield soldiers passing through it were difficult to open their eyes and breathe. In such a harsh environment, even if the sword and shield soldiers had strong defensive ability to defend bows and arrows, even with the leadership of a peerless general like Lu Bu, they inevitably began to suffer a large number of casualties. However, the mission of these soldiers was also excellently completed. The defense distribution of Yan Liang's camp and the counterattack strength of Yan Liang's camp were also proved.

With Zhao Yun's order again, Lu Bu led the 10,000 sword and shield soldiers to retreat. No! Now it can't be said to be 10,000. More than a thousand soldiers died gloriously, and among the men brought back by Lu Bu, no one was injured. Zhao Yun fully understood the tenacious defensive ability of Yan Liang's camp through Lu Bu's attack just now. Zhao Yun understood: If the army was sent to attack forcibly, even if Yan Liang's camp could be attacked, the casualties of the army would definitely not be

If it is small, it will not be an exercise training, but a meaningless battle. Then I will not get any credit. Moreover, Yan Liang's village wall is very solid and cannot be easily broken in a short period of time. Under the attack of dense rain of arrows, the troops will suffer huge casualties. Moreover, Yan Liang's camp occupied the entire road and could not go around from both sides, thus forming an encirclement attack on Yan Liang's camp. In this way, relying on a hundred thousand troops alone to attack Yan Liang's camp is really delusional.

However, Zhao Yun's military talent is not simple. He has been studying military strategy hard under Liu Bin's strict requirements over the years. When he was in the Military Academy, he asked Liu Bin many times that his military secular Zhang was more than one step higher than Zhao Yun in the original history! Seeing the current terrain of Guandu, Zhao Yun suddenly remembered a sentence in the military strategy: Be condescending and bullying the weak with the strong! Since Yan Liang made up his mind to hide in the camp, if he forcibly attacked, there might be a large number of casualties. Then change his perspective and use the strength of the Youzhou army to become stronger. Since Yan Liang made up his mind to huddle in the camp, if he forcibly attacked, there might be a large number of casualties.

The great long-range strike ability was condescending, destroying Yan Liang's promise first, forcing Yan Liang's army to abandon the camp and engage in field battles with him! If you want to be condescending, you must build a mountain of soil, with stone chariots and crossbowmen on it, and use the Youzhou army's long-range strike ability to move to the camp that destroyed the Cao army! With Zhao Yun's order again, except for the 30,000 troops standing at the front of the position at the front of the position, they strictly prevented the sudden attack of Yan Liang's troops. All the other soldiers were mobilized to transport mud and sand, and build a mountain of soil.

During this period, Yan Liang saw that the Youzhou army built a mountain, and he could guess Zhao Yun's strategic intention. He had organized troops to break through and harass him several times. But what Zhao Yun and the others were afraid of Yan Liang's failure to fight. Since Yan Liang sent his troops out, how could Zhao Yun and the others missed it? In addition to let Yan Liang's troops also appreciate the power of the Youzhou crossbowmen. Guan Hai and others also led their troops to directly kill the troops sent by Yan Liang several times. One of them, Guan Hai's troops chased too quickly and almost finished.

With Yan Liang's defeated soldiers, he rushed to Yan Liang's camp, forcing Yan Liang to close the gate of the village and ordered the crossbowmen to shoot the army led by Guan Hai, together with the remaining soldiers of his own troops outside the village, which made Guan Hai return in vain. In four days, fifteen earthen mountains, which were more than 20 meters long and more than 20 meters high, were piled up. Zhao Yun sent the stone chariot and crossbowmen, and the gaps at the foot of the mountain were waiting for the infantry to attack. Zhao Yun's main cavalry hid behind the mountain, waiting for Zhao Yun's orders to attack at any time.

Guo Jia and others were very satisfied with Zhao Yun's arrangement this time. However, for Yan Liang who was staying under the earth mountain and being attacked by bows and arrows and huge rocks, it was very dissatisfied. The archers of the Youzhou army could shoot from a high place above the earth mountain, and the range of the bow and arrow was greatly extended. Moreover, the lethality of the bow and arrow was greatly strengthened due to free fall. Even soldiers hiding in the camp resting must always be careful that the crossbow arrows flying over penetrate the tent and shoot themselves. On the contrary, the archers of Yan Liang's army could not exert any power in the camp due to the range. The whole thing was that they could not counterattack. However, this was still good. After all, Yan Liang's crossbower was fired on the high oars in the camp.

Although they can't shoot, they have high oars to hide, and the damage themselves is not great. The soldiers stationed on the walls of the village without equipment to hide, as well as the soldiers exposed to the range of the Youzhou archers, only need to push a wardrobe at all times to avoid most of the damage. Although this is a little harder, it can save lives, right? But the stone-firing cart on the earthen mountain is not so easy to talk about. The huge rock fell from high, and the weight is not comparable to that of a bow and arrow? Even if the strong high oars in Yanliang's village were hit by one or two, they could only be scrapped. As for the soldiers holding the wardrobe, they smashed and smashed one by one. At this time, Yan Liang finally realized the feelings of Zhang Hegaolan and Gongsun Du from Liaodong! It was so frustrating!

Although the accuracy of the stone-firing cart is not very good, the general orientation of the stone-firing cart is still controllable. Moreover, the accuracy is not enough, and the number is enough, you can't stand the number of stone-firing carts! Half a day! Yan Liang's troops can't stand it anymore. The entire Cao army's camp was almost broken by the huge rocks thrown by the stone-firing carts in Youzhou. Even the regulation of Yan Liang's troops was hindered by the gravel under his feet. Yan Liang had no choice but to give up the camp. After all, if Yan Liang still insisted on using the target for the stone-firing carts in Youzhou, let's not talk about whether they would upgrade the stone-firing carts in Youzhou to sharpshooters. Just a intensive injury can allow Yan Liang's troops to finish all of them before tonight. The Youzhou army won the final victory without even having to shoot out.

However, Xiao He is successful and Xiao He is defeated. Although the Shishiche troops in Youzhou achieved great success, it was also because of the spread of these gravels and wreckage, which hindered the Youzhou army's pursuit of Yan Liang's troops. Of course, this did not affect Zhao Yun, Guo Jia and others' joy of victory in the war. Five days after the war started, he took down Guandu, which was heavily guarded, and from then on, he could penetrate and attack Cao Cao's Sili and other places. At the same time, he could also use the ability of cavalry to run thousands of miles to attack Cao Cao's Yanzhou and other places. He could also attack with all his strength and take Xu Du directly. Thus, he would disintegrate the politics that Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought for.

Quan Center. What kind of credit is this? How important? Relatively speaking, Yan Liang's homeless and defeated generals are not worth mentioning. After Yan Liang retreated, Zhao Yun first sent a large number of explorers to inquire about the military situation in the front, and ordered the smartest spies to disguise themselves and sneak in, inquire about the latest battle situation of Cao Cao and Liu Bei's battles in order to know themselves and the enemy. Afterwards, Zhao Yun ordered the infantry to advance, completely destroy the camp left by Yan Liang, and remove gravels, and sort out the way for the cavalry troops behind. The rest returned to the camp to rest and prepare for the assault on Xudu.

Attacking Xu Du was originally the established plan for Youzhou to set out this expedition. This was not any other special intention. It was just that Sili was too desolate at this time. There was really no oil or water to make up. Originally, Sili, as the center of the Han culture, was quite rich. However, after Dong Zhuo moved the capital, the million people in Luoyang were lucky to be accepted by Liu Bin. Subsequently, the various princes fought in the Sili area and after Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an, they continued to send subordinates to plunder. Now Sili is too desolate. In such a large prefecture, the total population of the whole country was not as large as more than 100,000, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and farmed, far from being soldiers, and there were many thieves. This was also the reason why Guo Tai and Bai Rao gathered more than 300,000 thieves in Sili, but they were ultimately unable to become the climate.

Even if the Youzhou army occupied the entire territory of Sili, this actually did not cause much harm to Cao Cao. However, if Youzhou had developed Sili after occupying Sili, Youzhou would have to migrate the population to Sili. Liu Bin still thinks that the population density of Youzhou is not high enough. Now moving people out is still Sili, which may become a place of war at any time, which is absolutely unacceptable. Therefore, the large-scale vacant position of Sili is ignored for Youzhou. It only needs to be maintained.

The smooth route of advance and attack Xudu is a good place to get a good profit. The next day, the Youzhou army had rested and moved forward in high spirits. The journey was safe and marched for more than 60 miles. When the camp was set up in the evening, a horse came to report: "Report to General, Cao Cao's army and horses were camped here twenty miles ahead. There were many flags in the camp. Outside the camp, there were high alert. For a while, there were still many Cao troops stationed here. The rest of the horses were still seeking out the news. The villain was ordered to come back first to report the enemy's situation."

Needless to say, this army must be the reinforcements of Cao's army! After hearing the scouts, the generals asked for battle. They were not satisfied with the battle of Guandu! And although they captured Guandu, they did not capture many enemy troops, and the contribution was not too great! Now that the enemy has reinforcements, it means that they have the goal of establishing the contribution, and they naturally would not send any country! However, after Zhao Yun and Guo Jia looked at each other, they both saw the doubts in the other's heart. Cao Cao's army camped here, only more than a day away from Guandu camp, and Yan Liang received it.

The letter happened six days ago. If this Cao army had been raiding thousands of miles and arrived at this time, it was just a coincidence. But how many coincidences in the world are there? What if this was not a coincidence? This army is definitely not simple! Zhao Yun and Guo Jia’s worries are not unreasonable! Now, due to the war, the intelligence system in Youzhou has been hit and the information cannot be sent here in a short time. Therefore, Zhao Yun and Guo Jia are not very clear about the current occupation of Yanzhou! So the emergence of this reinforcement army is too abrupt!
