Great Wei Nengchen

"You defeated general, you have no guts, do you dare to go out and fight?"

.....................

As the saying goes: If there is no date, there are three poles, even if the goal is not achieved, you can still test the truth. On the second day after setting up the camp, Xiao Yi sent troops to challenge, shouted loudly, and lured the enemy to go out for a decisive battle!

Not to mention, after a while of yelling and cursing, the enemy really took up the challenge. It wasn't the high-ranking officer who was shut down, but Xia Zhao from the mountain, leading a team of soldiers to rush down and set up a formation at the foot of the mountain!

Unlike Gao Gan who sent troops rashly, the purpose of Xia Zhao's battle is also to test the enemy's situation. As for the two mountains, arrangements have been made long ago, so nothing can go wrong!

"I'm guarding Yanmen Pass. I've heard the name 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' for a long time. Today, the two armies are facing each other. Do you have the courage to fight? If you dare not fight, retreat immediately and send them back to Shangdang City!"

Xia Zhao was in his early thirties, nine feet tall, with a strong back and waist, wearing a steel battle armor and carrying a Liuhe sword. He was really majestic, because he had a sallow complexion, sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, and was brave and good at fighting. Tiger!

"Little enemy general, I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, why do you need the big Sima to take action, and wait for the last general to step forward and cut off his head!"

Before the words fell, Daniel carried the mace and went straight to the opponent. The same burly figure and the same heavy weapon seemed somewhat similar!

"General Dangkou - Prefect of Yanmen - Xia Zhao!"

"General Fuwei-Chicheng Tinghou-Niuwei!"

The mountain road was rugged and difficult to ride. The two gave up their mounts and stepped down to confront each other. After exchanging names, they wielded weapons and fought together. In an instant, the light of the knife flickered, the shadow of the stick was flying, the dust was flying, and the gravel was flying randomly...

The two of them are strong enough, they are the way of the top of Mount Tai, and the weight of the weapon is also heavy. From time to time, they collide together, sparks fly, and the sound is like thunder, which shakes people's ears. When it comes to the dragon in the fog, what a battle between dragons and tigers!

"Good! Good!...General Xia is mighty!"

"Good! Good!...General Niu will win!"

The soldiers waved banners, shouted loudly, and cheered for their generals. Many people watched mesmerized. Such a wonderful fight was rarely seen on the battlefield!

Fifty rounds, eighty rounds... In the blink of an eye, it was a hundred rounds, and the two of them dismounted and fought on foot. It was very exhausting. In addition to the heavy armor, both sides were panting and sweating profusely!

"The armor is cumbersome and it's hard to enjoy yourself. Will the enemy general dare to take off the armor?"

"Hehe! - Take off the armor, take off the armor, who is afraid of whom?"

………………

At this point, the two of them got really angry, took off their heavy helmets and armor, covered their bodies with only single clothes, and fought fiercely again. It was another hundred rounds, and there was still no winner!

"When two tigers fight, one of them will be wounded. The fight can no longer be fought. Ming Jin retreats!"

Under the banner of the big flag, Xiao Yi immediately watched the battle, with his right hand tightly clasped the bow and arrow, fearing that Daniel would make a mistake, he would immediately shoot out the arrow to rescue, or find a chance to shoot cold arrows to kill the enemy general, but now, he changed his mind, such a tiger general , Take it for your own use!

"Ding!-ding!-ding!"

The crisp bell rang, and the two generals, who had fought fiercely for a long time, retracted their weapons at the same time, looked at each other, clasped their fists in salute, and returned to their respective positions. Encountering a strong enemy on the battlefield is also a great joy in life!

After the battle, everyone was quite amazed. Xia Zhao was a good general because of his high martial arts skills and proficiency in how to use soldiers. Fortunately, Yuan Shao used nepotism and abandoned good generals for stupid ones. Taking charge of the military and horse power in Bingzhou, the difficulty of this Northern Expedition may have increased several times!

Similarly, Xia Zhao was also fearful. Regarding the prestige of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', his ears were calloused, and he often saw the 'Jingguan' outside Yanmen Pass. After today's contest, a big Bulls are hard to deal with, so it is conceivable how powerful Xiao Yi is behind him, the number one warrior of the Han Dynasty - he really lives up to his reputation!

After some testing, the two sides retreated to the camp and discussed military opportunities. One side swore to defend the city and would not give an inch;

Chapter 966 The Yuan family fights back, fight to the death!

Two flowers bloomed, one on each branch. Just when Xiao Yi was blocked at Hukou Pass and it was difficult for men and horses to push forward, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, two old enemies in life, used the city, power, and life as bargaining chips to start a war in Jizhou, thousands of miles away. A shocking gamble was made, the winner is king, and the loser is a bandit!

It has to be said that Cao Jun's strategy was very successful. First let Xiao Yi send troops to merge the state to attract the Yuan's Group's attention, and when the reinforcements marched westward and the central part was empty, he suddenly launched an attack, catching Yuan Jun by surprise!

In just one month, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan entered Qingzhou and seized the three counties of Chengyang, Donglai, and Beihai; Cao Cao led the main force of the Chinese army, crossed the Yellow River, and captured the southern city of Jizhou. Yuan's army retreated steadily. , There is almost no power to fight back!

Bingzhou is in emergency, Qingzhou is in emergency, and the whole of Hebei is in emergency. Military newspapers requesting reinforcements flew to Yecheng like snowflakes, causing great panic. Hiding at home, burning incense and worshiping gods, praying for blessings!

At this point, the Hebei Building will collapse, and people are panicking. Officials wrote letters one after another, suggesting that Yecheng, their old nest, be abandoned, and everyone flee to Youzhou to avoid Cao Jun's sharp edge temporarily, and then send envoys to pay respects to courteous words, ask for peace, and send With a young master as a hostage, it will be fine to cede some land!

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment of life and death, Yuan Shao broke out, radiated the courage of the year, and resisted all opinions. Instead of running away, he took the initiative to send troops to fight Cao Cao to the death. back again!

Yuan Shao cheered up and assembled his army to meet the enemy. In order to appease people's hearts, he also opened the treasury of Jizhou to help the people with food, and issued three government orders:

Gossip, shakers - kill!

Those who have two ambitions and collude with the enemy - kill!

Those who get cold feet and hesitate - kill!

Then let the eldest son, Yuan Tan, go to Qingzhou to resist the attack of the Xiahou brothers; the second son, Yuan Xi, went to Youzhou to recruit soldiers and horses to go south to rescue; , Ensure the safety of the Jizhou flank!

When the soldiers approached the city and were about to reach the trench, the big event was over. Yuan Shao decided to defend against the enemy, leaving the judge to stand firm in Yecheng. He took his son Yuan Shang and counselor Guo Tu, and put together another 15 horses, and went south to camp in Cangting. Prepare to fight Cao Jun to the death!

Over the years, Yuan Jun has been repeatedly defeated in battles, and his elite has been wiped out. In order to raise 15 horsemen, Yuan Shao has used all his milking power. All males in the general's mansion who can move will go out with the army, including servants and grooms. , gardeners, chefs...the Yecheng garrison was mobilized again, and refugees were recruited heavily. At least they gathered all the troops, and there was no time for training, so they went directly to the battlefield!

Cangting is located in the south of Yecheng, 120 miles away. It is adjacent to Weishui in the east and Heshan in the west.

..............................................................................

"The Battle of Cangting is related to the survival of Hebei. We must go all out to prevent Cao Jun from advancing half a step!"

"Cao Jun came from a long distance, and the troops must be exhausted. Taking advantage of his unstable foothold, our army will attack with all its strength, maybe..."

"Cao Mengde is good at using troops, so how can he be unprepared? The key is that our army's combat power is not as good as before!"

........................

In the middle of the night, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shang, and Guo Tu were sitting together in Yuan Jun's camp - in the tent of the Chinese Army. They were dispatching troops to fight against Cao's army.

The matter of war is both difficult and simple. It is nothing more than three conditions: good soldiers and bravery, sufficient food and grass, and a wise commander, and you can run rampant. The problem is that Yuan Jun does not have any of the above three conditions. have!

In the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Jun was completely defeated. The elite troops were completely destroyed, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled. The newly recruited soldiers were either 60 years old or 16 years old. What about the teacher?

The young and strong laborers are gone, the fields are difficult to cultivate, and the food is naturally insufficient. In addition, Cao Jun sent merchants to purchase materials wantonly, and the prices in Hebei have skyrocketed. Rice is as expensive as pearls. Qi, the soldiers are half hungry and half full!

As for the commander-in-chief, although Yuan Shao cheered up, how could a broken sword be so sharp? He vomited blood several times and hurt his vitality. The three sons of the Yuan family are more useless than the other!

"Thief Cao is good at using troops. His soldiers have experienced hundreds of battles. They are all masters of tigers and wolves. They also have peerless famous generals. They are military advisers. With Hebei's current strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to parry!

Send a few more envoys to Jingzhou with a lot of money, let Liu Biao send troops quickly, attack Xuchang City from behind, and force the Cao thief to return to the army to rescue, otherwise, if Hebei is lost, how can Jingzhou survive alone?

There are also Jiangdong, Hanzhong, Yizhou, Liaodong... all sent envoys, as long as one of the princes sends troops, the pressure on our army can be relieved. Cao's army is short of food and grass, and after a year or so, the veterans will retreat when they are tired! "

For the situation in front of him, Yuan Shao saw very clearly that Hebei was precarious and could be overthrown at any time, so he could only go to the doctor in a hurry and put his hopes on the princes from all walks of life!

"The general doesn't need to worry. The battlefield is changing rapidly. The victory and defeat, the state of strength and weakness, may be reversed at any time. As long as our army is united, we will be able to repel the powerful enemy and ensure that the four prefectures in Hebei are safe!"

Guo Tu comforted him with kind words, and hoped that Yuan Shao would cheer up. In the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated the strong with the weak. They may repeat such a thing!

"Report! - Cao Ying sent an envoy to ask for an interview with the general, and to announce important matters!"
