Chapter 687: The First Battle of Huang Gai
Huang Gai's troops were brave and brave, but the opponents they encountered were not only brave with them, but also had an advantage in numbers.
The two armies fought hard, and Huang Gai saw that the Cao army was slowly advancing, and he thought in his heart, he had to break through the siege quickly, otherwise there would be more luck in this battle. So he ordered left and right, looking for fighters, and breaking out of the encirclement.
At this time, Cao's army had the upper hand and became more and more courageous the more they fought. Countless people held knives and guns and shouted: "Capture Huang Gai alive!" The slogan desperately attacked the defense line of the Huanggai troops.
Cao Ren personally went into battle, wielding a big knife, and in the flash of the knife, blood splashed, and one by one the lives of people were harvested by him. And just a hundred miles away from this battlefield, Cheng Pu also confronted Li Tong in pairs.
After Cheng Pu lost contact with Huang Gai, he knew that it was Cao Jun who was making trouble. So he raised troops to move closer to the Huanggai marching route, and the army marched halfway, which coincided with Li Tong. Now, Cheng Pu is undoubtedly confirmed.
"Li Wenda, do you dare to stop me? Don't retreat quickly! Cheng Pu's face was gloomy, and endless anger was brewing between his chest and abdomen.
Li Tong owed a debt on horseback and said, "The military order is here, General Cheng don't blame him!" ”
If you don't speculate for more than half a sentence, you can't talk about it, so let's fight. See the real chapter under your hands. Cheng Pu has been fighting for decades, and he can't believe that he can't help Li Tong, a junior.
A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen. Over there, Huang Gaiyou is fighting a bloody battle, and this mileage is nameless again. Li Tong didn't think that he wanted to win Cheng Pu, just entangle Cheng Pu. So he set up a turtle formation and defended with all his might.
Facing the scoundrel Li Tong, Cheng Pu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but there was nothing he could do. As soon as he moved, Li Tong also moved, and as soon as he stopped, Li Tong also stopped. wanted to fight, but he couldn't break Li Tong's turtle shell for a while, and he wanted to leave, but Li Tong wouldn't let him. In the face of such a piece of close-fitting kraft candy. Cheng Puhao was hung up and was angry to death.
As soon as Huang Gai's side saw that he had the upper hand, he immediately made a decision, planning to break his tail to survive. He is a general sharpened in the bloody battle, decisive in killing, and he will leave without hesitation.
Under the leadership of Huang Gai, the troops under his command followed their superiors, abandoned burdens and other burdens, and went into battle lightly, facing the heavy Cao army, and slammed at one point.
On the battlefield, a desperate force that wants to flee for its life is extremely terrifying. Cao Ren saw that Huang Gai was desperate, so he Mingjin withdrew his troops, Cao Hong came with a bloody face, and said: "Brother, Huang Gai has shown his decline, why did he stop fighting?" ”
Cao Ren said with a smile: "Zilian, Huang Gongfu is going to work hard, and he is in full swing at this time, why should I use my subordinate sons to fight with him?" It's better to gradually avoid its sharpness, and when its breath is exhausted, I will lead my troops to attack it. Why can't you break the enemy? ”
Cao Hong listened to it and looked impressed. He also knew these truths, but when he went to the battlefield, he couldn't remember them in time between battles. Compared with bravery, Cao Hong admits that he is not inferior to his brother, but when it comes to calmness, Cao Hong is ashamed of himself. I think this is also the reason why my brother can be on his own.
One blow and then three and then exhausted. After Huang Zhong's troops escaped, they would inevitably relax physically and psychologically. At this time, as long as their own troops pursue, they will be able to break it.
In this era, not everyone can play psychological warfare. In history, how many top advisers like Jia Xu taught Zhang Xiu to pursue Cao Cao?
Huang Gai got off, where did he have time to think about it, he just thought about taking these people and horses under his command, leaving the place as soon as possible, and then sending a letter to Cheng Pu, asking him not to fall into the trap of Cao Jun.
The soldiers under his command almost broke their legs, and after receiving the news that there were no pursuers behind, Huang Gai breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the camp to start resting.
After hearing the order, many soldiers were relieved, and some of them were extremely tired, so they threw away their swords in their hands, lay down on the side of the road, and lay down in their clothes, and fell asleep.
The barracks here have just been built, and everyone has just begun to bury the pot to make rice, waiting for a hot meal and a bowl of hot soup. As a result, the scout ran over in a panic and shouted: "Cao Jun is chasing, Cao Jun is chasing!" ”
"What!"
The bowl in Huang Gai's hand fell to the ground and shattered. His face turned grim, and he resisted the urge to pull his sword and slash the screaming scout in front of him. Hurried out of the tent.
Without his confirmation, the sound of thunder in the distance told him that Cao Jun was really chasing him. Huang Gai had no choice but to order the three armies to quickly pack up, and then continue to run. There is no way to run away, and their own troops are already shouting and making a mess. Huang Gai asked the deputy general to gather his troops and go first, and he planned to lead the elite to rely on the camp to block Cao's army and fight for the main force to get out of danger.
First, he was ambushed, and finally broke through the encirclement, and his body had just relaxed, and suddenly there were chasing soldiers. This will Huang Gai's troops, whose combat effectiveness has just cooled, and they are going to return to a state of full blood, to be honest, they are prepared in their hearts, but their bodies can't react for a while.
The deputy general heard that Huang Gai wanted to cut off in person, where was he willing to do it. shouted: "Changsha can be without a certain general, and the general can lead the army first." After a self-rate break. ”
Huang Gai also knew that this was not the time for a dispute, so he had to lead the army away. Suddenly, Cao Hongjun arrived, surrounded the Huanggai camp, and a thousand warriors were here, and Cao Jun started a death battle. At the end of the battle, Deputy General Huang Gai, who was seriously injured, ordered his guards to set a fire in the camp. Then let the soldiers, who can still move, escape by the fire.
The deputy general who was waiting for death in the firelight said in his heart, this time he should be able to stop the thief?
Cao Hong watched the fire rise into the sky, and the credit in his hand was gone. I couldn't help but be annoyed. After Cao Ren arrived, Cao Hong was ashamed and said: "Brother, I still let that Huang Gai run away, it's really hateful!" ”
Cao Ren persuaded: "Huang Gongfu is a veteran of Sun Wentai, who has been fighting for many years, how can he be an idle person. I didn't expect to be able to capture them in one fight. Huang Gong was defeated and returned to Changsha, and it will take a lot of time to regroup and fight with me. At that time, my martial arts has been lowered, and the opportunity has been obtained, so what can he do to me? ”
After that, he ordered his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, and then returned to the division with Cao Hong. Over there, after Li Tong received the news that Cao Ren had broken the Huang Gai, he said to Cheng Pu: "General Cheng, Li is one step ahead." So as soon as he gave up his hand, he led his army to retreat.
Cheng Pu knew that Li Tong was retreating, and Huang Gai was afraid that something was wrong. wanted to chase Li Tong, saw his march, quite methodical, and knew that it was useless to chase him. Even though he was unwilling, he could only stare helplessly, watching Li Tong and his subordinates disappear from his sight.
But it was said that after Yu Ban broke the tomb in one go, he beat it quickly. On the Wuling side, before he could calm down, he connected the counties of Wuling.
Wuling Taishou only thought that Cao's army would attack Hanshou first, and he would concentrate his troops on Hanshou. Who would have expected that Hanshou would be ignored by the ban, but the counties around Hanshou would be attacked first. Then the encirclement of Hanshou was formed.
All of a sudden, the situation of Cao Jun was very good.
