Chapter 689: Cao Cao wants to fight back
Cao Cao told Meng Huo to make some small moves behind Wu Shun and successfully divided his pressure.
Most of the cavalry of the Wuling Army supported Jingke County. Currently, in the northern land, the most elite cavalry is the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
Since obtaining the three-piece cavalry set, the combat power of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has been qualitatively improved. Although they are still no match for Wu Shun's personal guard camp, they are worth it against Zhao Yun's Qilin Cavalry.
Northern battlefield.
Since Wu Shun retreated to Zhongmu and Changshe, there has not been a major battle between the Wuling Army and the Cao Army. However, the small friction has never stopped.
Today I will destroy your scout squad, and tomorrow you will cover my cavalry team.
Small-scale battles are carried out several times a day between generals.
However, judging from the trajectory of the battle, the scouts of the Wuling Army were being oppressed by the Cao army.
"Lord, if you continue like this, you may not be far from the war!"
Xu Shu was a little worried because judging from the battle location between the scouts in the past two days, he was getting closer and closer to the Changshe area of Zhongmu.
It is becoming increasingly difficult for the Wuling Army scouts to obtain Cao's army's intelligence.
There must be a reason for Cao Jun to do this. Wu Shun also thought of this.
"Yuan Zhi said that Cao Cao could fight back against us?"
Wu Shun asked.
The scope of activities of oppressing the Wuling Army scouts, Cao's army's intention has been exposed.
"That's right, our army needs to prepare as soon as possible."
Xu Shudao.
"There are 20,000 Xuanwu Legions in Zhongmu, so it is safe to be safe. Changshe has the White Tiger Legion, Qilin Legion, and Zhuque Legion. If Cao Pi wants to retake it, it depends on whether he has the determination."
Cao's army's strength cannot be underestimated, but I trust my subordinates more.
If you have Wenpin guarding Zhongmu, you will not be able to easily take it down unless Cao Cao launches a large-scale attack. Furthermore, when Cao Cao attacks with all his might, if he does not have enough troops to restrain Changshe, Wu Shun can support him at any time.
The two places are supporting each other. Although Cao's army made a counterattack, Wu Shun was not very worried.
Wu Shun's not worried does not mean that Xu Shu is not worried. Now most of the cavalry of the Wuling Army is in Yizhou, and there are only 4,000 cavalry in the north, so they can only leave the city and harass them slightly.
If Cao Cao and Liu Bei were willing to pay some price, the movements of the Wuling Army could be completely limited.
The Cao and Liu coalition forces concentrated their firepower to attack one place, but the Wuling army was still quite difficult to defend.
"According to the scouts, it was not only Cao's army but Liu Bei's Xuzhou soldiers who fought with them. From this point of view, Cao Cao and Liu Bei should have joined forces to fight back."
Xu Shudao.
"Well, Liu Bei's Xuzhou soldiers have average combat power, mainly because Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are difficult to deal with."
Wu Shun praised Liu Bei's power.
If Cao Cao and Liu Bei counterattack, the main force of the attacking city would definitely be Cao's army. However, two powerful generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, may participate.
If no one was going to suppress it, the casualties of the Wuling Army would be slightly greater.
A single powerful general cannot conquer a city. However, he may use his bravery to inspire his soldiers and increase the morale of the army to capture the city.
What Wu Shun is worried about now is just how many generals will be sent out when Cao Cao counterattacks.
Because in order to teach Meng Huo a lesson, Wu Shun sent back the powerful generals Wei Yan, Ma Chao, and Shamoke.
"Lord, Liu Bei is a man who is able to bend and stretch, and is good at tolerance, so he should not be underestimated!"
Seeing that Wu Shun did not take Liu Bei seriously, Xu Shu spoke out and advised him.
Liu Bei's ability to get along with the gaps between several great princes is enough to see his ability.
"Liu Bei, I am a hero, and I have never underestimated it!"
Wu Shun sighed.
If he hadn't been here, the entire Yizhou would have belonged to Liu Bei. Even Wu Shun's current generals and military advisors were all from Liu Bei.
Thinking of this, Wu Shun realized that he had snatched Liu Bei a lot of things. He snatched the territory, and the generals and counselors also snatched it.
Fortunately, I was foresighted and entered Yizhou early, breaking Liu Bei's source of blessing!
...
Xu Du, Cao Cao and Liu Bei were drinking together. Both of them were in a good mood.
In the battle against the Wuling Army, they achieved phased victory.
"Brother Meng De was so worried that he had been hiding it. Unexpectedly, Meng Huo was already a member of Brother Meng De. After he made such a fuss in Yizhou, Wu Shun was unstable, so no wonder he immediately withdrew his troops."
Liu Bei drank a glass of wine and said with admiration.
"This is just the advice of the adviser under his command. I didn't think it was of much use at the beginning, but I didn't expect it to have a miraculous effect today."
Cao Cao made a fuss and brought this paragraph over. Cao Cao didn't want to discuss in depth how to convince Meng Huo.
"According to detailed reports in Yizhou, most of the cavalry of the Wuling Army went to Jingke County. Now the cavalry of Changshe is no more than 10,000. With tiger and leopard cavalry there, they are no longer afraid of the Wuling Army."
Cao Cao rarely gets heroic. The current Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is also the top cavalry of time.
"When will Brother Meng De fight back?"
Liu Bei asked.
"Haha, it's OK at any time! But..."
Cao Cao wanted to speak but stopped. He was a man with a ghost spirit like Liu Bei, so of course he knew how to go on.
"Brother Meng De is famous, and Liu Bei is willing to go through fire and water!"
Liu Bei had a righteous and righteous manner.
"Okay, thank you so much! Xuande also knows that Wuling Army's generals are so powerful. When they really want to fight, I hope Xuande will let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei help you!"
Xuzhou has only a little bit of its wealth, and Cao Cao is also anxious to get rid of the disaster. The most important thing at the moment is to counterattack the Wuling Army. As for Xuzhou, it cannot pose a threat to Xudu now.
Of course, if you have the chance, Cao Cao wouldn't mind cheating Liu Bei's troops.
Like Wu Shun guessed, Cao Cao still valued Liu Bei's two generals more! As he dealt with the Wuling Army, Cao Cao attached more importance to the future of the military.
Why is the morale of the Wuling Army always so high? Because their general is extremely brave!
Why is the Wuling Army brave and fearless in their battles? Because their generals rushed to the front!
Cao's army still lacks some powerful generals who charge into battle!
November of the 11th year of Jian'an, the end of the month.
Cao Cao joined forces with Liu Bei and led 100,000 cavalry and infantry troops to fight towards Changshe.
Wu Shun led his troops to seize the city and defended it. Seeing that Changshe City was extremely tight and had almost no flaws, Cao Cao chose to go to the camp nearby, hoping to put pressure on the Wuling army.
"Lord, is Cao Cao stupid? He came with great momentum and didn't even call anyone else, so he just retreated?"
Zhang Xiong originally thought there was a big battle to fight, so he was very excited. Who knew that Cao Cao had just observed outside the city for a while and then left.
There is not even a tentative attack, no wonder Zhang Xiong complains!
"Second brother, Cao Cao may not be ready yet. Let's do this. You can lead the troops to harass them at night so that they can't sleep well."
Wu Shun ordered.
"Brother, you have a good idea. That's it. I'll go to attack the camp tonight!"
Zhang Xiong thought Wu Shun asked him to attack the camp, but he was so happy. He didn't think about it. Cao's army had 100,000 horse and infantry troops, and he only had 20,000 people in the White Tiger Army...
"It's not Shiyingying... Yuanzhi, please explain it to him."
After a warlike sworn brother was stuck in, Wu Shun could only hold his forehead and speechlessly.
"The second general, the lord is talking about harassment. Since it is harassment, there is no need to fight, it only needs to make Cao's army exhausted..."
Xu Shu explained. Zhang Xiong was stunned for a long time, and his eyes suddenly lit up:
"Military advisor, do you want to implement the tired military plan?"
"That's right!" Xu Shu replied.
