Han counter current

To be honest, Cao Cao, who has never met an opponent in the troubled times, now regards Chen Feng as an opponent. Others are not qualified to be compared with him at present.

Even if Liu Bei has become the lord of Jingzhou, even if Sima Yi has occupied Xuchang through a series of means, in Cao Cao's view, these two people are just clowns, only Chen Feng is his confidant's serious trouble.

"Since this is the case, I only need [-] elite subordinates. Tomorrow I will go north to attack Qingzhou. My lord, this matter is of great importance. According to intelligence, Chen Feng has already handed over the full power of defense in the southern part of Jizhou to Zhang He.

As for Qingzhou affairs, Chen Feng appointed his adopted son Gao Zhong to manage it. Chen Feng has always been a shrewd person. The two of them are able to be entrusted with important tasks at this juncture. "

"Hahaha, don't worry about Feng Xiao. Among the generals under Chen Feng's command, Gongsun Xu is second to none. This man leads troops to fight, and his ability to farm and train troops is becoming more and more terrifying, far surpassing his father, Gongsun Zan. Looking at the world, there is no opponent. .

The second one should actually be Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the first of the eight master generals under Lu Bu's command. Of course, if Lu Bu's lieutenant general is still alive, Zhang Liao must not be able to compare with him.

Hehe, it's just that, now that the two of them are not by Chen Feng's side, I have nothing to fear.Although Zhang He is a good general and has been battle-tested for a long time, in the end he was still almost ready.

As for Chen Feng's adoptive son Gao Zhong, I have heard about it. It is said that he was the son of Lv Bu's lieutenant general Gao Shun. "

Others may only see the self-confidence and pride on Cao Cao's face, but they don't know that he will think carefully before making any decisions. As for Chen Feng, since he has already looked at him squarely, he will naturally treat him with caution.

After the decision was made, the main force of Cao's army quickly divided into two groups. Cao Cao personally led an army of [-], and [-] civilians went north and directly entered Jizhou. The North Sea kills.

Cao Cao really lost his temper this time, if he doesn't extinguish Chen Feng, how can he return to the Central Plains with peace of mind.There is no way, to be so valued by Cao Cao, Chen Feng can be regarded as a disguised proof of his ability and strength.

Chapter 716 Doom Comes 1

The development of the northern war situation, as the world expected, Cao Cao rushed to the border of Jizhou with the momentum of a big victory, until Zhang He led his army to block his way.

Guo Jia commanded [-] soldiers and horses to approach Beihai, and Gao Zhong defended the city.

Especially here in Beihai City, Gao Zhong commanded [-] Qingzhou Army and [-] soldiers from the headquarters to guard the place. Facing the successive attacks of Guo Jia's [-] troops, he resisted stubbornly.

Siege equipment such as ladders, goose carts, siege vehicles, and wells took turns to go into battle. Water attack, fire attack, poisoning, dispatching secret operations, etc., Guo Jia also used all the means that Guo Jia could use.

Obviously, this is the most difficult battle that Gao Zhong has faced in his life. Guo Jia seems to be gentle, but his control over the battle is far beyond Gao Zhong's imagination.

It can be said that Guo Jia is an encyclopedia of siege, as long as it is related to siege warfare, he knows all the equipment, tactics, methods, etc.

However, this is exactly what made Gao Zhong grow rapidly in such a short period of time.Every time Guo Jia uses a new method or tactics, Gao Zhong will benefit a lot.

"Those who are good at defending must be good at attacking the city. Guo Fengxiao, Guo Fengxiao, use whatever you can. I want to see what other tricks you have."

On the dilapidated city tower, Gao Zhong looked out of the city coldly with a tired face. Cao Jun withdrew his troops again. The defenders in the city were killed and injured more than [-]. This siege battle was difficult for both attackers and defenders.

But for Gao Zhong, this period of defense has taught him too much. Actual combat is the best way to improve his personal ability. Perhaps this is also the main reason why Chen Feng sent Gao Zhong to defend Beihai.

"Is this doll Nagao Zhong's son? It really is extraordinary."

Outside the city, in Cao Jun's team, Guo Jia turned his head and looked into the distance. In the void, he seemed to meet Gao Zhong's gaze.These days, although Guo Jia was a little anxious, he tried his best and failed to take Beihai City, which surprised him.

In these years, he has encountered many opponents, such as Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, etc., none of them are earth-shattering heroes, even in the battle with them, Guo Jia has never been so tired like this time.

Back then when he fought against Lu Bu and broke the lower pi, Guo Jia only used a plan of flooding.In the battle against Liu Bei, Guo Jia didn't even need to make a plan. To kill Yuan Shu, Guo Jia provoked Sun Ce, Liu Bei and other princes to make the first move with a few words.

As for Yuan Shao, the most powerful man who occupied the four northern states back then, Guo Jia only used a tactic of ambush from all sides to let Yuan Shao escape back to Yecheng.

But this time, facing such a junior, Guo Jia felt that his strength was useless.Although Gao Zhong is on the defensive side and has too many advantages, Guo Jia is a battle-hardened veteran, so how could he be blocked by a junior.

The war has been stalemate for more than half a month. After all, Guo Jia failed to take Beihai in a short time, let alone enter Qingzhou to plunder supplies.

And Cao Cao was also unexpectedly blocked by Zhang He in the south of Jizhou. In addition, Chen Feng was sitting in Yecheng to coordinate the logistics. Therefore, even if the battle ahead was difficult, Zhang He could still support it.

"Could it be that I was fooled..."

At night, in Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao, who was full of confidence and personable in the past, is sitting alone in the tent and meditating. The battle has not progressed so smoothly as he imagined, and he has begun to doubt his decision. up.

In Xuzhou, in a desolate forest, two scouts stared vigilantly outside. After confirming that there was no one around, they retreated cautiously into the depths of the forest.

"General Qi, the enemy has not found us yet."

In the depths of the mountain forest, there are tens of thousands of soldiers hidden. The leading generals are actually Zhang Xiu and Lu Xiao under Chen Feng's command. These two were transferred from the battlefield three months ago. At that time, everyone thought they were arranged Went to the rear to rest.

Who would have thought that under Chen Feng's arrangement, these two titans would actually lurk in the territory of Xuzhou and hide.In terms of real calculation, this is also due to Cao Cao. After all, it is because of Cao Cao that Xuzhou is so declining and desolate.

In addition, Chen Feng had arranged a lot of eyeliners in Xuzhou in his early years, and it was only with the help of those eyeliners that he dispatched tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to lurk here.

"It's almost there. More than [-] of our army are hiding here. They have eaten dry food for so long. It's time to go out and practice. According to the order of the lord, this time, our army will take Xuzhou in one fell swoop and try to cut off the retreat of Cao Jun. .”

Zhang Xiu's face was full of caution, and at the same time, there was a hint of excitement mixed with his serious expression.Back then, he was killed by Cao Cao in Xuzhou.

Now, he wants to find his dignity here and embarrass Cao Cao.A man must avenge his revenge. After waiting for so long, Zhang Xiu finally got this opportunity.

"General Lu, you and I will each lead five thousand troops to attack Langya and Donghai respectively. My lord has orders first. Cao's army has many arrangements in Pengcheng. Most of our troops are cavalry. Don't attack Pengcheng for the time being."

"No, the general understands. The east side of the East China Sea is the sea, and you left there, General. This time, apart from the tens of thousands of our army, there are also more than ten thousand navy officers and soldiers who have been on standby on the islands in the East China Sea.

As long as the cavalry of our army defeats the local Cao army with thunderous force, Xuzhou will be occupied just around the corner. "

"Here, I understand what you mean. Xiapi is adjacent to Pengcheng and Yuzhou. Since you are going, I will not stop you. But, you must always remember that the Lord's great cause is the most important thing in everything."

"promise,,,,,,"

After all the soldiers and horses were ready, Zhang Xiu immediately commanded the soldiers and horses under his command to fight out of the forest.Soon, a large number of soldiers and horses of the northern border army appeared in the territory of Langya, and the local defenders were mostly county and county soldiers, who could not stop the elite of the northern border army.

Soon, Langya in Xuzhou was captured, and Donghai was also attacked by a group of pirates, and then Zhang Quan, the son of Zhang Xiu, led two thousand cavalry to attack and fell.

Lu Xiao led five thousand wolf cavalry under his command to drive straight into Guangling, scaring the local defenders to quickly shrink their troops. After that, Lu Xiao left a thousand soldiers and horses to pretend to be the main force, and after a feint shot, he led four thousand wolf cavalry to fight back. Xiapi, directly smashed the city and occupied Xiapi.

This series of changes happened in just seven or eight days, and Cao Cao and Guo Jia, who were far away on the front line, had no time to react. The war has progressed until now, and the advantages of Cao Jun have gradually been offset.

Sima Yi sent troops to infiltrate Sili, occupied the territory east of Hulao Pass, and left Yu Jin to resist the Chang'an army on the front line.Guan Yu besieged Wancheng for a long time, and the army became more and more courageous. It was only a matter of time before Wancheng was taken.But Cao Cao fell into the quagmire in the north and couldn't extricate himself.

Chapter 717 Doom Comes 2

The situation in Xuzhou became corrupt in an instant. Except that Pengcheng was still in the hands of Cao Jun, the other cities were basically captured by the Northern Xinjiang Army.Worst of all, the bandits and bandits who previously occupied the southern part of Xuzhou did not reject the northern border army at all.

In fact, at the beginning, Guo Jia also considered whether the Northern Xinjiang Army would send a few elite troops south to harass his rear.

After all, Guo Jia himself once wanted to send a small number of elite detours to the north. Wouldn't it be great if they could enter the rear of the northern border army to burn, kill and loot.

Back then, Cao Zhen led a small number of elites to lurk in Xiliang, waiting for the opportunity to kill Chen Feng, which almost had the effect of sending a small number of soldiers to seize the northwest. Unfortunately, Cao Zhen failed that time, otherwise, the north of the Yangtze River would have been surnamed Cao long ago up.

The reason why Guo Jia gave up this time was not that he had no confidence in his own elite. The key was that sending such an elite team deep into the enemy's rear was very likely to fall into the enemy's heavy siege.

Moreover, when going deep into the enemy's rear, logistical supplies, food and supplies, reduction of combat personnel, recuperation of the wounded, etc., are all difficult problems. Unless this army and horse go forward with the determination to die from the beginning, otherwise, it will not be long before they are defeated by the enemy. Army annihilated.

The problems that Guo Jia encountered, Chen Feng would naturally have.Therefore, Guo Jia had absolute confidence. If Chen Feng dared to send elites to detour to his rear, they would definitely fall into various difficulties, and in the end, they would all be wiped out.

In real terms, the biggest problem with the so-called dispatch of elite soldiers to bypass the enemy's rear is that the troops do not have a reliable rear. Therefore, such a mission is too dangerous and the possibility of failure is quite high.

However, Chen Feng succeeded this time. It can be said that this kind of battle situation was completely beyond Guo Jia's expectations.Commander Zhang Xiu's more than [-] troops captured the city of Xuzhou very quickly, but Guo Jia could still accept it.
