Three Kingdoms: on the Eve of the Expedition, I Was Drunk by Diaochan

"Yes, my lord!"

The man knelt down on one knee and said, then got up and left quickly, and all of this was under the control of Captain White Horse.

Soon, the ambush for Cao Song had been laid out. There were more than [-] people in ambush, and the escort team was only [-] people. The gap between the two sides was huge.

When Cao Song and the others came to the ambush, many assassins rushed out, and one of them rushed out, not only assassins, but also white horse captains everywhere.

Assassins surrounded Cao Song, and Captain White Horse surrounded the assassins. These assassins were all disguised as soldiers under Tao Qian. Compared with Captain White Horse, their combat power was like fighting five scumbags. How could they stop Captain White Horse? In this way, the five hundred assassins were completely wiped out in no time.

Tao Qian, who learned about this, was furious and stopped pretending. He immediately led the army and began to chase and intercept Cao Song and Zhao Yun.

Although Captain White Horse is powerful, he is still invincible with both fists and four hands. Facing the doubled enemy army, Captain White Horse is also a little powerless, but Zhao Yun stood up at a critical moment and led five hundred Captain White Horse to stop him. More than [-] chasing soldiers successfully blocked it.

After that, Zhao Yun took Cao Song and the rest of the people all the way westward. Only then did they leave the boundary of Xuzhou and come to Yanzhou. At this moment, Yanzhou has not many troops. Most of the troops were consumed.

Therefore, they did not receive assistance in Yanzhou Zhao Yun, but fortunately Tao Qian did not let his troops enter Yanzhou. After all, he had some scruples, so Zhao Yun and Cao Song escaped.

When Qin Yi and Cao Cao saw Zhao Yun and Cao Song who were covered in blood, they were both furious and bloodshot in their eyes, and then they immediately drew troops to attack Xuzhou prefect Shi Taoqian.

After listening to the explanations of Zhao Yun and Cao Song, Qin Yi was also afraid for a while. He knew that Tao Qian would send someone to stop Cao Song, but he did not expect that Tao Qian would bring his main force to stop the killing.

And Qin Yi's misjudgment also resulted in the loss of nearly [-] white horse captains, which made the few white horse captains even more compact.

Fortunately, both Zhao Yun and Cao Song returned safely. Although they suffered some injuries, they were fortunately not life-threatening.

On the day Zhao Yun and the others came back, Cao Cao issued a notice in Sizhou to send troops to destroy Tao Qian, and the reason was that everyone was speechless. To assassinate Cao Cao's father, wasn't this courting death.

After learning about the incident, Tao Qian also realized the seriousness of the matter, but at this point, it was too late to say anything, so Tao Qian also broke the jar and tangled a bunch of unwarranted charges, even All charges of treason were placed, and then a payment document was also issued, expressing that he would fight against Cao Cao to the end.

In fact, many feudal lords' impressions of Cao Cao are still at the time of suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion. At that time, Cao Cao's troops were really weak. In addition to this battle against Dong, Cao Cao also relied on military generals to rise to the top. They didn't make much effort, so all the princes knew little about Cao Cao's real strength.

· 0 for flowers · · · ·

And now, for the first time, Cao Cao has shown his fangs in front of the princes of the world.

[-] light cavalry, [-] heavy cavalry, [-] infantry, a total of [-] men, set off from Sizhou and headed for Xuzhou.

In the process of seeking directors, Xu Shu, Xun You, Xi Zhicai and others who stayed in Chenliu were not idle either. Following the method left by Qin Yi, they kept summoning the strong and coordinating military training. Under the support, Cao Cao's troops grew rapidly.

In five days, Cao Cao, Qin Yi, and a group of generals brought [-] troops to the city, drove straight in, and came to the gate of Xuzhou without any hindrance.

... 0th

Tao Qian also knew that he had gathered all his troops in Xuzhou City. He firmly believed that as long as he could persist for a while, Yuan Shao would successfully capture Cao Cao's base camp.

Yes, that's right, Yuan Shao's shadow was also involved in Tao Qian's sending someone to assassinate Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, or it was originally Yuan Shao's order, so although Tao Qian was besieged, he He didn't panic at all, but what he didn't know was that Cao Cao didn't plan to fight him in a war of attrition at all.

After arriving outside Xuzhou City, Cao Cao's troops, after a day of repairing, launched an attack on Xuzhou City in broad daylight. Without any fancy tactics, they attacked from the front.

Originally Tao Qian thought that Cao Cao had lost his mind, so he attacked in broad daylight, but when his subordinates rushed to report and Tao Qian came to the top of the city, only then did he understand, where is Cao Cao? Feeling dizzy, Cao Cao felt that he didn't need any tricks to hit Xuzhou.

Because right in front of Cao Jun's formation, Tao Qian's scalp was tingling with the countless siege weapons, large ballistas, trebuchets, siege vehicles, ladder vehicles, and so on.

There is also the number of the dense army. The infantry is in the front and the light cavalry is in the back. As long as the cavalry is rushed into the outer city of Xuzhou after breaking the city gate, it will be a one-sided massacre. I can't stand still.deficit.

Chapter 142

But it was too late to say anything at this moment, and it was too late to ask Yuan Shao for help. After all, Cao's army was already in the city and could attack the city at any time.

Tao Qian stood on the top of the city, and his whole body was paralyzed. He originally thought that if he got on Yuan Shao's thigh, he would be able to deal with Cao Cao, but now he suddenly realized that Yuan Shao was probably not Cao Cao's opponent either.

"All soldiers, let Lao Tzu go out of the city to fight! We must not let them hurt the people! My feud with Cao Cao will never involve other people!"

Tao Qian roared, then put on his armor and mounted his horse, and took the lead out of the city gate.

Originally, Cao Cao and the others were going to attack, because there were basically no people in the outer city, so they couldn't hurt the people, but when they saw the closed city gates opened, they were a little surprised.

Cao Cao and Qin Yi nodded after seeing Tao Qian leading the team out of the city.

"It's a man!"

"Pass my order, back five miles, and fight with Tao Jun!"

Tao Qian, who was ready to die, saw Cao Cao's retreat, and clasped his fists at Cao Cao.

Both of them are heroes, but their positions are opposite, which means that the two have to decide the outcome, and the outcome often also represents life and death.

And this is also the first time Qin Yi has felt the arrogance of heroes after coming to this world, the arrogance that belongs to heroes in troubled times.

Soon, the two sides gathered on a flat ground. The distance between the two sides was only less than one kilometer. Such a distance was suitable for the charge of the cavalry.

Cao Cao, Qin Yi and a group of generals Yuma were at the forefront, as was Tao Qian.

"Tao Qian, you sent people to murder my father, causing my father to be injured, and more importantly, killing more than [-] brothers under my command, I can forgive you, but my brothers can't! I respect you as a man, I don't want to implicate the people, but today's matter, we will give the dead Paoze an explanation!"

"If that's the case, then don't talk about it! Kill!"

Tao Qian on the other side was not a coward either. After learning that there was no way out, he resolutely chose to confront Cao Cao head-on.

"kill!"

Dian Wei and a group of generals roared together, and then [-] cavalrymen marched ahead and rushed towards Tao's army. Tao Qian's men had only more than [-] men and horses. Even if they encountered Cao Cao's infantry or cavalry alone, they would not be able to win. In this case, Cao Cao's men were twice as strong as Tao Qian's.

The cavalry rushed over Tao Qian's army like locusts crossing the border. When they were more than [-] meters away, following Tao Qian's order, all the archers under Tao Qian fired a salvo, wanting to reduce the strength of the cavalry, but When the arrow hit the cavalry, but was blocked by the armor, Tao Qian and his men were blinded.

But at a distance of [-] meters, they could no longer think about it too much, and the cavalry would come here in an instant.

"Shield soldiers, go up, where are the shield soldiers? Hurry up, go up, set up a formation, and stop these cavalry!"

Tao Qian roared, and then behind Tao Qian's army, two rows of shield soldiers rushed forward. The first row put the shield on the ground, and then the second row placed the shield diagonally above the first row of shields, and then Step on the shoulders of the people in the first row.

The two shields were hooked at the end and stuck together, and then in the gap between the shield and the shield, countless spears stretched out, and then the spearmen stood behind the first row of shield soldiers, while holding the second shield. The second row of shield soldiers, here is the imperial cavalry formation that has been dealing with the cavalry.

Qin Yi shook his head slightly when he saw the other party posing the imperial cavalry formation.

This kind of childish thing is very useful against ordinary cavalry, but against their cavalry, it is a little powerless. If you don't say anything else, just say that the spear that stops the cavalry from rushing into the formation can't even poke their armor. Toru, why do you stop the cavalry's rushing formation?

This formation is to let the horses rush up along the shield, and then cause the cavalry to fall. Qin Yi has to admit that this is indeed one of the most effective ways for infantry to fight cavalry, but it is far from enough to deal with Cao Cao's cavalry!

The next moment, Tao Qian once again saw a scene that he couldn't understand. The Imperial Cavalry Formation, which used to deal with light cavalry without any advantage, was directly broken by the opponent's momentum.

There is still a stance that used to be unfavorable, but Cao Cao's cavalry was not feeling well either. Although they successfully broke through the shield formation, they also suffered a lot of losses.

But the shield formation was broken, which meant that Tao Qian's infantry was now like a target for Cao Cao's cavalry, and could not resist at all. If the cavalry and the infantry fought, they would normally be able to achieve a one-to-three match. 0

Not to mention that each of Cao Cao's cavalrymen is equipped with magic weapons, the difference in combat power is really big.

However, the cavalry also has a disadvantage. After a wave of charges, they must turn their horses' heads and charge again. Generally, after two or three waves, they lose their combat power, because the horses simply cannot support such a high-intensity charge, not to mention wearing armor. The reason is that the continuous combat power of cavalry is not as good as that of infantry. It can be said that each has its own strengths.

But Cao Cao's cavalry is not the same, let's not say anything else, the armor is light enough, and hard, plus they are the best breed of Xiliang horses, so they are better than other cavalry in all aspects. This is also one of the important reasons for establishing Cao Cao's future combat power. Of course, those are all for later.

In the current battlefield, the cavalry had already rushed over, but then the infantry joined the battlefield. Tao Qian's army, who had not yet recovered, encountered the charging infantry again, how could they hold on.

Especially some of the soldiers, when they found that the long spear in their hands could not penetrate the opponent's armor at all, their mentality collapsed. How to fight?Even the opponent's armor can't be worn, and it can only target some places that are not covered by armor, which makes the fight that is already difficult to fight even worse.

Under the protection of his personal soldiers, Tao Qian survived the charge of the cavalry, then drew his sword and mounted his horse, and rushed into the battlefield. Cao Cao, who saw this scene, was also a little throbbing.

"Zilong, go and give him a treat."

Cao Cao ordered that one of the two must die. This is a matter of position and has nothing to do with the others.

"Zilong is ordered!"

After Zhao Yun heard the order, a white horse rushed into the battlefield with a clear goal, pointing directly at Tao Qian, to take Tao Qian's head.

However, Zhao Yun was blocked. Tao Qian's generals Zang Ba and Cao Hong stopped Zhao Yun and wanted to give Tao Qian a chance to survive.

Although Zang Ba and Cao Hong had two hits, those two hits seemed a little insignificant when they faced Zhao Yun. .

Chapter 143

The two of them fell back after Zhao Yun's offensive, and they couldn't stop Zhao Yun at all.

The bright silver spear in Zhao Yun's hand fluttered constantly. Every time he hit Zang Ba or Cao Hong's weapon, the two of them would go numb. It was so powerful that they could barely hold the weapon.

Although they were surprised, the two of them still managed to stop Zhao Yun, but this was only temporary.

Zhao Yun found an opportunity to behead Cao Hong, and Zang Ba was the only one left to stand firm, but Zang Ba was Zhao Yun's opponent.

Until the last moment, Zang Ba was thinking about how to stop Zhao Yun and prevent Zhao Yun from going to Tao Qian. After Zhao Yun nailed him to death, he pulled out his gun and then clenched his fists at Zang Ba's body. But still respectable.

Once Zang Ba and Cao Hong died, Tao Qian had no generals who could stand on their own. All other generals were repelled or killed by Zhao Yun in a single encounter. In this way, Zhao Yun killed all the way to Tao Qian.

Tao Qian held a sword and stabbed at Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun turned to dodge, and the tail of the gun slapped Tao Qian's hand, knocking off the sword in his hand. kill.

After Tao Qian was killed, Tao's army, which had been defeated in the first place, became even more disorganized. The soldiers who were still alive put down their weapons and begged for mercy, but Cao Cao naturally would not embarrass them. The soldiers were all released by Cao Cao.

As Tao Qian said, the hatred between Tao Qian and Cao Cao is a matter of the two of them, that is, a matter between the two factions. Since Tao Qian has been killed now, it also represents the hatred between Tao Qian and Cao Cao before. A paragraph, then there will be no connection between the factions.

"All soldiers, are willing to continue to be soldiers, and the boys who follow me to conquer the world can pick up the weapons in your hands again, join my command, and become a noble warrior again!"

Cao Cao said loudly, in the open field at the moment, only Cao Cao's voice was heard. As Cao Cao's voice fell, nine-tenths of those captured soldiers picked up weapons on the ground and expressed their willingness to join Cao Cao's army.

And those who didn't choose to join, Cao Cao would not be embarrassed, let alone kill them, but let them disperse on the spot.

In this battle, it was still a great victory. At the cost of losing a thousand weapons and more than [-] infantry, Cao's army killed more than [-] people under Tao Qian's command, captured [-] people, and more than [-] agreed to surrender. , and the other less than a thousand people chose not to fight anymore.

In this way, Cao Cao not only had no losses, but also increased his strength by nearly [-]. However, the strength of these [-] still cannot be compared with the sacrificed [-], but after training, he can still be used as a great force.

"All officers and men, bury our sacrificed robes! Everyone's family will be given [-] taels of silver to ensure that their families can eat well and wear warm clothes!"

After hearing Cao Cao's words, those new recruits were amazed. Twelve taels of silver, for an ordinary family, would be a huge sum of money. For an ordinary family, the expenditure in a year is only more than one tael of silver. That's all, it can be said that [-] taels of silver is enough for a family's expenses for seven or eight years.

After a little rectification, Cao Cao led more than [-] people to Xuzhou City. At this moment, Xuzhou has become a land without owners. Now Cao Cao leads troops and settles in Xuzhou, which naturally means that Xuzhou has become Cao Cao's bag. thing in.

Yuan Shao, who learned about this, was very angry, and at the same time he felt a bit of fear. At every turn, [-] soldiers and horses attacked. It was impossible for Cao Cao not to leave behind a defensive force.

Yuan Shao couldn't sit still when he learned that Dong Zhuo had led troops to settle in Xuzhou. My good fellow, Cao Cao had already taken Sizhou. Can't stop it either.

Yuan Shao immediately went to Chang'an, the new capital, and raised Cao Cao's killing of Tao Qian in the morning, and hinted several times that Liu Xie would assign someone to take over Xuzhou.

But Liu Xie kept avoiding the topic as if he didn't understand it, and seemed unwilling to mention it, until the morning was about to end, Yuan Shao finally couldn't bear it any longer.

"Reporting to the emperor, Sizhou Mu Cao Cao killed Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, this is a personal grievance between the two of them, and it is inconvenient for us to ask, but Sizhou Mu has not been ordered to lead troops to openly enter Xuzhou, This is provoking the royal family, provoking the authority of the emperor!"

Yuan Shao is the best at buckling a big hat, and Yuan Shao has played it perfectly at this moment. Not only is the hat big enough, but it is also high-sounding.

Just when Yuan Shao was complacent, someone stood up, it was Cai Yong, Minister of Rites.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what General Yuan said is inappropriate. Cao Zhoumu's loyalty to the Han family can be learned from the world! Where can there be such a situation as General Yuan said?"
