Boom!
Tens of thousands of troops appeared on the horizon. The Han army was generally yellow in armor, so it looked like a yellow cloud covering the field at a glance. However, after Cao Cao established the emperor, his civil and military officials generally believed that it was a move of "changing the Dynasty". In order to show the new atmosphere, it was also a tit for tat with the Luoyang court. Therefore, Cao's armor was mostly blue.
At a glance, tens of thousands of Cao's troops sprang up on the plain, from generals to military officers, all dressed in blue armor. Tens of thousands of Cao's troops seemed to be the blue waves after the dam broke down, as if the blue sea water swept in.
Cao's army couldn't tell how many people there were, but it was mainly divided into four square arrays, each of which was about 10000 people. Therefore, it was estimated that the number of Cao troops should be about 40000.
In the middle, a big flag with Cao characters fluttering in the wind is blue with black embroidery characters. Around the Cao banner, there are dozens of generals' flags and countless Han Army's battle flags. The banners are flapping and swing left and right under the strong wind, showing a school of arrogant spirit.
"Dudu is Cao Jun Cheng Pu frowned.
"Well, it was Cao Cao who led the army himself." Zhou Yu said calmly.
Cheng Pu was a little surprised: "Cao Cao himself led the army, but Dudu didn't seem surprised?"
Zhou Yu's face was as usual, and he said slowly, "of course, Cao Cao's powerful generals are like clouds, but the one who can fight most naturally is himself."
"When Xiahou Dun attacked Yanzhou and Cao Hong attacked Jizhou, they were all feigned attacks. It was natural that Cao Cao would appear in Lujiang."
XiahouDun and caohong were both generals of the clan of Cao Cao. They were all generals who were able to take charge of their own affairs. However, Cao Cao didn't do it himself. In fact, his intention was vaguely explained.
"Dudu, what should our army do?" Cheng Pu worried: "the number of Cao's troops is large. If the two armies confront each other head-on, we are only afraid that our army will suffer losses."
"Don't worry."
Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "wait for the opportunity and move forward. If we are afraid of fighting because of the large number of enemy troops, there is no need to fight since ancient times. The two armies send envoys to each other to count the number of men and horses. Is it necessary to fight in this world? In the battle of King Xiang and the battle of Huaiyin Marquis, we may not be unable to win over many with less. "
"No!"
Cheng Pu bowed down and bowed his hands, but he was full of admiration. Facing such a large army, Dudu Du was really remarkable.
Cao Jun, who was besieged, was overjoyed and looked at each other. Some people even shed tears and laughed at the same time.
"Brother Zixiao, the prime minister is here!" Shi Huan is a little excited and grabs Cao Ren's arm.
"Well."
Cao Ren responded, but with a look of shame: "this time, he was originally the vanguard of the prime minister and harassed Jiang Dong army. As a result, he was besieged by Zhou Yu as a trooper. On the contrary, he asked the prime minister to lead the army to rescue him. What a shame to me."
"Victory or defeat is a common matter in the military family, so you don't have to blame yourself."
Shi Huan comforted him: "the most urgent task is to decorate the formation. When the prime minister sends troops to rescue later, our army will take the opportunity to kill at one fell swoop!"
"Good!"
Cao Ren soon regained his normal complexion and yelled at his back: "generals and men! The prime minister leads the army to come and meet our army. Our army will win! "
"The prime minister is here, our army will win!"
All of the nine hundred cavalry Cao's troops were excited and cheered loudly. One by one, they seemed to be balloons filled with gas, and their faces were red. The Jiangdong army besieging the cavalry of Cao army is one of the demoralization. After all, when Cao's reinforcements arrived, the situation that would have been victorious again became unpredictable. Moreover, judging from the number of Cao troops, I'm afraid it will be a bitter battle.
At this time, however, good news came from Jiangdong army.
"Chen Xiaowei captured the city of Lujiang and captured Li Shu!"
When the news came, Zhou Yu's eyes brightened and he slapped the railing and said good.
"Command the sentinel to mount Li Shu and inform the whole army!"
"No!"
A Jiangdong army sentry galloped out and ran around the Jiangdong military formation, holding a head in his hand. His facial features were frightened. It was Li Shu's head. After Chen Wu led his army into the city of Shuxian, he personally led the army to fight. After he scattered Li Shu's close friends, he said nothing. He went up with a knife and Li Shu's head fell to the ground.
"Captain Chen Xiaowei breaks Shuxian county and gives the head to the thief Li Shu!"
"Captain Chen Xiaowei breaks Shuxian county and gives the head to the thief Li Shu!"
The Sentinels galloped around to announce the whole army. Wherever they passed, Jiang Dongjun's morale was uplifted and they were shouting.
At last, nearly 40000 Cao troops were gradually pushed in, only two miles away from Jiangdong army. Cao and sun's armies could see each other's fuzzy faces and hunting flags. They could not help but hold on to the weapons in their hands. When the war was approaching, only the blades and armor could give the soldiers enough confidence.
"Shu county has been conquered?"
A general is sitting on a horse. He is not very tall. His face is a little dark. He is not very impressive in the crowd. However, his eyes are like the Pearl of the night. When he looks at someone, he looks like two knives in his eyes. From these eyes, you can see the extraordinary spirit.He was Cao Cao, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, who was in power in Qing, Xu and Huainan and supported the emperor in Pengcheng.
It is also interesting to say that Luoyang and Pengcheng are in opposition. However, there is only general Liu Ye in the Luoyang court, but the position of prime minister has always been vacant. However, Pengcheng court only has Prime Minister Cao Cao, but there is no general. It is very harmonious. There is no "fake" prime minister or "pseudo" general.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and looked up. He saw that on the head of Shuxian County, which had just experienced a fierce offensive and defensive battle, the Li flag had been pulled out and replaced by a red water Qilin flag.
"Prime minister, Cao Lifeng's headquarters are all iron cavalry, although sharp, but the number is not large, Shu county was captured by Jiangdong army, it is reasonable." Cheng Yu explained.
"Hehe, most of the soldiers led by Zixiao were cavalry, and their galloping speed was much faster than that of the troopers. However, Zhou Yu was trapped in riding by his steps. This is really a fantastic story." Cao Cao laughed.
Cao Chun on the other side hastily explained: "prime minister, there are many bodies of Jiangdong army on the opposite side. Brother Zixiao is not without fighting, probably designed by Zhou Yu."
"Oh, no harm."
Cao Cao didn't seem to blame Cao Ren. He just said in an appreciative way: "I heard that Zhou Yu helped sun CE sweep the six counties in the east of the Yangtze River, but I didn't feel much about it. Now I see it, it's extraordinary."
"In the battle of Changping, Baiqi cut off the grain supply of Zhao army with his iron horse, and the 400000 Zhao army could not break through the encirclement; today, Zhou Gongjin was trapped in riding by walking, and Zixiao was not allowed to come out. Zhou Yu is really a genius in the world!"
