Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 254 Reinforcement until Shuangli's defeat

The Han River runs from northwest to southeast, and the Fei River runs from north to south, converging in Xiangyang.Caiyang is sixty miles east of Xiangyang, and a small army can get there in one day, but it takes three or four days for a large army to arrive.

Cao Cao brought an army of 4000 from Xuchang, and another [-] to Wancheng.However, the soldiers brought from Wancheng were deployed and used up on the way to the south. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were released in Jiyang, Yuyang, and Xinye to prevent people from robbing the food road.Cao Cao surrounded Cai Yang with the soldiers and horses he brought from Xuchang, but because of the damage on the battlefield, it was less than [-], only about [-].

More than 2 people can encircle Caiyang City, but there is Liu Yuanjing's camp outside Caiyang City. If you want to surround this camp, it is not enough.Li Jing and Liu Yuanjing also had more than 1 soldiers. Although the number was small, it was not overwhelming.

Therefore, Li Jing had no intention of guarding at all. From time to time, he would send Qin Qiong to attack the weak points of Cao Cao's defense.With Li Jing behind him, Qin Qiong retreated after the last battle, constantly wearing down Cao Cao's troops.

Cao Cao was passive instead. After the frontal confrontation, Guo Jia's strategy was basically useless.Guo Jia also designed several ambushes, but Qin Qiong didn't fall for it.Cheng Yu and Zhang Xiu were left in Xinye by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was also afraid that Zhang Yi would steal his way out. If Zhang Yi really crossed the Hanshui River from Xiangyang, Xinye would bear the brunt of it, and Cao Cao must leave a way out for himself.

Yu Jin, who was sent by Cao Cao to Liu Yuanjing's camp, relied on his very powerful formation of troops, and forced Liu Yuanjing's six to seven thousand people to be blocked in the camp.Liu Yuanjing was scolded by Li Jing for leaving the camp without authorization and causing Su Fei's death, so he didn't dare to leave the camp easily, for fear of causing any bad effects again.

After the two sides fought back and forth for a few days, the power to break the deadlock finally came from the west of the Han River.Gao Changgong and Wang Yanzhang rushed over from Xiangyang with thousands of soldiers and horses.

As soon as they crossed the Han River, Cao Cao spotted their army. Cao Cao immediately sent Li Dian and Li Tong with [-] soldiers to stop them.

Li Dian and Li Tong were considered relatively powerful generals among Cao's army, but compared with people like Gao Changgong and Wang Yanzhang, they were still far behind.

Li Dian and Li Tong led their troops to meet them, just in time to collide with Gao Changgong and Wang Yanzhang, and an encounter began.

Wang Yanzhang looked at Gao Changgong and said, "Lieutenant Gao, the enemy came to stop us. This battle is inevitable. The lieutenant can command the whole army from behind, and I will charge forward."

Gao Changgong nodded. Among them, he has the highest official position, and Zhang Yi hand-picked him as the official. Before the army was handed over to Li Jing, he was responsible for everyone.

"Okay then!" Gao Changgong said: "The enemy army is only four or five thousand, which is considered elite. Let me resist the front. Brother Yanzhang will attack from the flank, defeat the enemy army as soon as possible, and then we will hurry. I will send out scouts , closely observe the movement of Cao Ying, and once more enemy troops come over, we will retreat."

"Okay, I will always pay attention to your orders!" Wang Yanzhang nodded and moved to the flank with his 1000 people.

As soon as Wang Yanzhang left, Gao Changgong immediately sent troops to attack Cao Bing!Before Li Dian and Li Tong finished their formation, they were hit. They could only organize the formation with all their strength.

Gao Changgong rushed forward to attack directly, relying on the elite soldiers under him. When the soldiers were trained, they had trained flexible military formations. Whether they were familiar with people or not, they could complete most of the formations during the charge. A small part of the order was placed because of the problem of the type of arms.

That's it, he is still much stronger than Cao Jun, and Cao Jun is still in chaos.

While Li Dian and Li Tong were still busy, Wang Yanzhang came out from the flank and broke through Cao Jun's weak flank in one fell swoop.Cao's army, which had no army formation, became even more chaotic. Li Dian and Li Tong were both shaken by the impact.

"Retreat!" The two looked at each other and retreated helplessly.

On the retreating land, Li Tong shook his head and said: "Now I really want to know how Zhang Yi's soldiers are trained. I used to face Liu Bei with ease, but when facing an unknown man under Zhang Yi's men, I couldn't do it at all." If you can't beat them, it's all because of these soldiers."

"Don't talk about you, even the lord is also looking for these methods. Although we have captured some soldiers of Zhang Yi, the training methods are not complete. These lords can understand, but we still have to be punished for our defeat. .” Li Dian said.

"That can't be helped." Li Tong said helplessly.

After Li Dian and Li Tong returned, they were indeed punished by Cao Cao.

"We were defeated in less than an hour? 5000 people! A total of 5000 people! You lost so easily?" Cao Cao looked at the two people kneeling in front of him and asked loudly, "What are you doing?"

Li Dian replied: "My lord, when we marched, we met the enemy head-on. The enemy general was decisive and launched an attack immediately. The enemy rushed to our army, and our army was not in line. It was very chaotic. Then another enemy army entered from the flank, and one of them was very brave and easily rushed into the army formation. The two of us couldn't resist at all, so we had to retreat!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath. He was now wondering how Zhang Yi found so many powerful generals!There is a fierce general in Caiyang City, there is a fierce general coming from the reinforcements, and there is another fierce general in Runan...

Guo Jia came over to persuade and said: "My lord, please be safe and don't be impatient. The defeat of the two generals is also reasonable. A little punishment is enough."

Cao Cao nodded, and then asked: "Feng Xiao, is there anything else you can do? Now Zhang Yi has 7000 reinforcements, and the number of people in Caiyang City has exceeded [-], which is about the same as our army. It is impossible to break Cai Yang."

Guo Jia asked with a smile: "Is it possible for the lord to break Cai Yang before?"

Cao Cao was taken aback, yes!It was impossible to occupy Cai Yang before!The possibility of successfully attacking the city with more than one cup of troops is too low, unless the equipment can be crushed tactically.But Cao Cao himself, who is being crushed now, has Zhang Yi's absolute advantage in terms of the quality of soldiers and advanced equipment.

After figuring it out, Cao Cao laughed and said with a self-deprecating voice: "I'm so confused. If this is the case, let's withdraw our troops!"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "My lord, it is right to think so, but I would like to ask the lord who wants to guard Nanyang, I don't think Zhang Yi will let Nanyang go so easily!"

"What about Yu Wen?" Cao Cao asked.

Guo Jia looked at Li Dian and Li Tong, "One person counts the disadvantages, and two people count the strengths. It is better to keep the two Generals Li in Nanyang and guard them with General Yu."

Cao Cao nodded, "Yes!"
