On the morning of August 27, the seventh year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Li Yi was fully clothed, carrying a gun and riding a horse to lead the army to the north bank of Huaishui. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the same time, Li Jing was below Xia Cai, and Guan Yu was east of Xia Cai, ready to cross the river and assault.

At noon, I saw the Cao army camp on the other side of the river boiling and neighing, and 500,000 people took action.

The joint operation of 100 miles can be described as huge, but looking down from the sky, it is very chaotic.

"What about my people! This is not my soldier! The captain of the team shouted loudly.

"What are you arguing about, retreat ten miles as soon as possible, regroup, and go! Which one falls behind, military law is engaged! The generals also reprimanded angrily.

In the chaos, the officers of Cao's army could not find their own team at all, and at the urging of the superior officers, they led a group of people on the road to retreat.

This summer is particularly dry, the Huaishui line has not rained for nearly a month recently, 500,000 troops move, stepping on the dust to cover the sky, the Cao soldiers in the dust can only see the backs of the soldiers in front, and nothing else can be seen. All they knew was to retreat with their heads down. And the officers among them did not see the soldiers of the original formation, and they were too lazy to care about the strange non-commissioned officers, so they just hurried with their heads covered, so that after arriving at the assembly point, they could be reorganized.

In this way, the 500,000-strong army, like a flock of sheep, retreated in a hula-la-la.

That is, just after retreating three or five miles, the Northern Xinjiang Army secretly ambushed in Cao's army, and sneaked behind Cao's army. They looked around, and they couldn't see Cao's Chinese army at all, let alone the front army.

The time has come.

"Cao's army is defeated!"

"The enemy is coming!"

"Run for your life!"

……

The hidden fine works of the Northern Frontier Army shouted together, and at the same time, the surrounding Cao Army began to run.

Cao's army was internally unstable and demoralized, and the slightest confusion in the retreat of the whole army snowballed and became out of control. Cao Jun's rear army didn't know what was happening at all, they just thought that something big had happened in front of them, and when they saw someone fleeing for their lives, they began to flee for their lives. And the army in front of Cao's army saw the rear army fleeing, thinking that they had found something behind, only thinking that something big had happened and was really defeated, so they began to retreat.

As a result, the 500,000 Cao army was in chaos in a short period of time, and everyone ran around, shouting for their lives.

That is, these Cao Jun are really too vegetable. They originally only had about 50,000 people, and these 50,000 people were all recruits who were recruited in the first half of the year.

If only that's it, after all, those Cao soldiers still have some qualities after months of training. However, Cao Pi suddenly expanded the 50,000 army, which was not originally considered elite, to 500,000, and there was an extreme shortage of officers at all levels in the army, and many middle-level officers at the Sima level were served by former soldiers, not to mention some grass-roots officers such as team commanders, who were simply newly recruited recruits and did not know basic military knowledge at all, which led to such a low-level situation.

Xiahou Yuan of the Chinese army was also panicked when he saw this, he shouted loudly, but no matter how loud his voice was, it was useless, and in the chaotic army, the soldiers and generals had long been incompatible.

Li Yi was overjoyed, he put on armor and held a gun, and took the lead to lead the army to cross the river.

After the Northern Xinjiang Army crossed the river, the defeat of the 500,000 Cao army had been achieved and was irretrievable. There was no army or horse to stop the Northern Frontier Army crossing the river.

The Northern Xinjiang Army, under the leadership of a group of fierce generals, stormed the enemy and waved its troops to cover the killing.

Under the fierce attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army, those recruits who had just been conscripted into the army were the first to surrender, and with the surrender of hundreds of thousands of people, the vast majority of the 500,000 Cao army surrendered, and there were less than 50,000 people, who were caught by Xiahou Yuan, Cao Zhang and other generals, and fled back to Shouchun in embarrassment.

………………

On August 27, the seventh year of Jian'an (202 AD), the Northern Xinjiang Army defeated the 500,000 army of Cao Pi, the king of Wei, at Huaishui, and defeated the enemy's 500,000 army with 150,000 troops and less than 3,000 casualties. This battle, known as the Battle of Huaishui in history, has become another classic in history of winning more with less, especially in terms of battle damage, which is enough to be recorded in the annals of the top ten classic battles in China.

When Cao Pi, the king of Wei, got up from the body of a bunch of beauties, he got the news of defeat.

"What! The Lone King's 500,000 army is gone! Cao Pi almost peed his pants in fright, and exclaimed, "How is this possible?" ”

"Lord, the Northern Frontier Army is about to come to the city!" Chen Deng said with a bit of a master. Now, he doesn't know where his future lies.

Li Yi has always had no good impression of him, when Li Yi led the army to Xuzhou to pacify the Yellow Turban Army, he and his father Chen Qi once tested Li Yi, wanting to defect to Li Yi on the surface, in exchange for Li Yi to support them to seize Xuzhou, but unfortunately Li Yi refused without hesitation.

"A lonely army of 500,000!" Cao Pi couldn't face the impending defeat, and suddenly pointed at Chen Jue, who had fled, and shouted angrily, "Chen Jue, it's you!" ”

"It's not a minister!" What kind of person is Chen Qi, who is simply old, seeing Cao Pi's actions, where does he not know that he wants to use himself as a scapegoat? He hurriedly fell to the ground and shouted, "My lord, the minister was ordered to supervise the retreat of the army, however, General Xiahou Yuan's leading the army was unfavorable, which caused confusion among the soldiers and gave the Northern Xinjiang Army an opportunity!" ”

Xiahou Yuan and the other generals of the Cao army all changed their colors, and said in their hearts that this Chen Jue was too ruthless, and he actually put all the blame on Xiahou Yuan.

Of course, Xiahou Yuan was unwilling to carry the black cauldron, if it weren't for Chen Qi's disregard for the lives of the strong men and the extremely harsh treatment of these people, resulting in these strong men not having any morale, they were frightened and finally defeated. He immediately prepared to defend himself: "The lord ......"

However, Cao Pi couldn't listen to it anymore and even forgot that Xiahou Yuan was his uncle, and roared: "Come on, arrest Xiahou Yuan and put him in prison!" ”

Hula, the left and right Praetorian Guards immediately stepped forward, knocked off Xiahou Yuan's helmet, took off his armor, and dragged him out.

From beginning to end, Xiahou Yuan closed his eyes slightly and didn't say a word, because he was completely disheartened. He didn't expect his nephew to be so reckless.

Lei Bo, Le and other generals who were originally subordinate to Yuan Shu were not welcomed, but now seeing that Xiahou Yuan was taken down, the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and they pleaded for mercy.

Cao Pi said angrily: "Whoever intercedes for Xiahou Yuan will be guilty of the same crime as him!" ”

The crowd did not dare to say more.

At this time, a Praetorian Guard officer broke into the main hall in a panic and shouted: "King, something is wrong, the Northern Xinjiang army is coming to the city!" ”

Cao Pi was so frightened that he trembled, and at the same time he was afraid, he went crazy again, and shouted: "Lone wants to drive the expedition in person, Lone is the true son of heaven, he will not fail, he will not fail!" ”

………………

Shou Chun.

The 150,000 soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army approached the city, and the soldiers clenched their weapons to the sky, and the sharp swords and guns made it impossible to look at them directly.

Before the battle, Li Yi immediately raised his gun, he looked at the head of Shouchun City from afar, and his heart was slightly agitated.

Shouchun can be said to be the last stronghold of Cao's army, and the rest of the small cities are not to be feared, and taking Shouchun will announce the complete destruction of Cao Pi's forces, and it also means that he rules the entire vast land north of the Yangtze River. After coming to the Han Dynasty for more than 20 years, I am finally about to see the hope of dominating the world.

Just when Li Yi was a little excited, he saw Cao Pi appear on the city.

At the same time, Cao Pi also saw Li Yi in red robe and black armor under the city at a glance, and roared angrily: "Li Yi, you are despicable and shameless!" ”

Li Yi shook his head and smiled, and said, "Big nephew, why do you say this?" ”

Cao Pi's expression was distorted and he roared: "Lone retreated ten miles according to the promise, and you don't tell your credibility and take advantage of the situation to attack!" You're still pretending to be deaf and dumb here! ”

Li Yi sneered: "Big nephew, this is yours." Your army retreats ten miles, and the general's soldiers and horses land ashore, and then fight to the death, this is the original promise. However, your army has been broken up after retreating ten miles, and it makes sense for you to attack with your army. This matter is no longer within the scope of the original promise! ”

"You ......" Cao Pi was speechless, and could only shout angrily to the left and right, "Who will lead the troops to battle and take down the head of the traitor Li Yi!" ”

When the generals on the left and right heard this, they all shrank their heads one by one, and said in their hearts, Lord, don't be joking, who doesn't know that Li Yi is brave and invincible, you let us go out of the city, doesn't that let us die?

Chen Qi next to him also said helplessly: "Lord, now that Li Yi's rebel army is in full swing, you can't directly attack its front, it's better to stick to it." ”

Chen Qi's words caused Cao Pi to roar with "waste".

Cao Pi, who had been crazy for a long time, was at a loss for what to do, and finally could only order the soldiers to hold the city and return to the palace.

………………

In Shouchun City, in the palace of King Wei, Cao Pi's indulgent laughter kept coming: "Come on, come on, drink, you take off your clothes, hahaha......." ”

This young man, who suddenly succeeded to the throne of Wei because Cao Cao was captured, is now at an end, and he does not want to face the reality, so he has devoted himself to drinking and having fun in his palace.

Outside Shouchun City, the Northern Xinjiang Army Camp, the Chinese Army's Big Tent.

Li Yi summoned his generals and strategists to discuss how to capture Shouchun City as soon as possible.

Xu Maogong, the chief military advisor, said: "My lord, the morale of the defenders in Shouchun City is declining, which can make the marksmen shoot a large number of inscriptions into the city. Knowing it with reason, moving it with emotion, those who surrendered in Kaesong will not die, and the morale of the enemy will be disintegrated. After it has no morale, it will wave the army to attack the city, and there are only forty or fifty thousand people left in Shouchun City, and a battle can be taken! ”

Li Yi nodded, on the one hand, he ordered that the siege equipment such as catapults and ballistae transferred from Pengcheng should be transported to Shouchun City by boat across the Huaishui River, and on the other hand, it was also made to shoot Wen into the city and break the enemy's morale.

Sure enough, the defenders in the city had long lost their morale, and after seeing the text, they all slacked off the battle, and the news of surrendering in private was spread one after another.
