Chapter 413: The Pre-Battle Meeting: The First Ascend to Resurrection (I)
Xun You's approach is very single. The grasp between gain and loss makes people have to admire this girl who deserves to be regarded by Cao Cao as the mastermind of the army. After discovering that the news that he wanted to rely on to "trade" with Qin Xu had changed, especially when he found out that the incoming soldiers would be the Black Mountain Bandit Army who secretly communicated with Cao Cao, and when he faced the frontal raid of the elite of the Xiao Cavalry, he had to divide his troops in battle, and after realizing that what these Black Mountain thieves were obviously targeting was very likely to be himself, he decisively took out all the "old bottoms" between the lightning and flint; While showing "sincerity", it was also without the opportunity to force the soldiers behind Qin Xu with righteousness, and had to contribute to his safety.
Regardless of the arrival of Xun You and Xiahou Yuan before, whether they had other plans, but now, in the face of the Upper Montenegrin bandits, the righteousness of the alliance, the feelings of the warning, and the soldiers of Zhang Liaoxiao's cavalry battalion who were about to collide with the incoming soldiers were already too late for Qin Xu's side to withdraw, and even Qin Xu had no room to refuse.
"Mr. Gongda, it seems that there are some small mistakes in Cao Gong's previous plan!" Qin Xu, who was "calculated" by Xun You for no reason, seemed to be unaware of all this, and smiled at Xun You with a heartless smile.
"Qin envoy don't be suspicious, this ...... These Montenegrin thieves...... These black mountain thieves ......" Qin Xu's "attitude" made even Xun Yu unable to hide a little sneering, and he always felt that Qin someone seemed to have something to say.
After all, the relationship between Cao Cao and the Black Mountain thieves is no secret because of the exposure of Bai Rao's previous incident with Cheng Yu. Moreover, the news that he wanted to use it as a "bargaining chip" before was originally intended to be the success of the strategy of the Cao Jun forces, which could not be taken care of by the Yuan, Gongsun, and Lu clans in a short period of time, and the Cao Jun forces, which had been almost completely hollowed out by Liu Bei, took advantage of the Hebei Rebellion, and also mixed it in, as the news of the third-party forces coveting the merger and Hebei Prefecture. Unexpectedly, there was such an episode in the middle. The wisdom is extraordinary, and he is known as the Xun Yu who has no last resort. In the face of such variables, it is also quite tricky.
"Mr. Gongda, there are strange soldiers coming from Montenegro, please return to the camp quickly!" As the two horse armies finally collided together, the sound of the horse's body and armor was deafening, and the horse's neighing shouted fiercely, which suddenly seemed to resound through the heavens and the earth. Xiahou Yuan, who was originally guarding Xun You's side, couldn't care about fighting with someone Qin anymore at this time, and he was staring at Lu Yi with wide eyes. Although Xiahou Yuan's headquarters had 5,000 soldiers and horses, it did not open the distance. In the case of making the horse's advantage play to the fullest. In the face of the galloping number of black mountain thieves who are more than their own. Inherently at a disadvantage. Seeing that it was at this time, Xun You still had the heart to argue with Qin Xu, so it was no wonder that Xiahou Yuan was not in a hurry.
"Huh?" Almost at the same moment when he heard Xiahou Yuan's anxious shouting. Although Qin Xu and Xun You are dressed in the cloak of an alliance, they are also two people who calculate each other everywhere. But it was a rare time for him to have a heart, and blurted out: "It's not good!" Their goal turned out to be to stir up hatred between the two families in order to make a profit! ”
"And so it was! And so it was! The Black Mountain thief didn't know who to help him, and he had such a good calculation! The end is amazing! Xun You, who was half-invited and half-dragged by Xiahou Yuan from the ox cart and hastily put out the military formation, looked like he suddenly realized and let out such an exclamation.
"Is the old man crazy? Looking at him like that, it was as if these black mountain thieves were doing what he wanted. Seeing that the first camp was surrounded by Qin Xu's chariot regiment guards with solemn faces but could not hide their excitement, Lu Lingqi held the fine steel halberd that even Xiahou Yuan "didn't dare" to easily brush up on his edge, and turned back to Qin Xu in a questioning tone.
"Xun Gongda saved Cao Cao's life this time!" Qin Xu, who had just sent out with Xun Yu almost at the same time, saw through the plan of the Black Mountain, and listened to Lu Lingqi's question. I don't know whether it's a happy or regretful wry smile and said.
"That old man is pretty good!" Lu Lingqi, who was confused by Qin Xu's words without a beginning or end, commented as if she didn't understand.
"Now I can roughly string together the root causes of this!" Qin Xu didn't expect that Miss Lu, who was known for her violence, would have a shrewd brain like Cai Yan, a black-bellied beauty. Seeing that the soldiers of the advance battalion who were fully equipped had already surrounded the chariots they were in under the arrangement of Lu Yi's recruitment, although there were only a thousand people. But he was not afraid of the menacing Black Mountain thief rider, and the Xiandeng crossbow in his hand was already ready to fly, which made Qin Xu inexplicably relieved, so he patiently explained to Lu Lingqi: "The previous Black Mountain thief will be Bai Rao, and the place he occupied before is the current Cao Jun's important town Puyang County. But this time it appeared with that Cheng Yu, and it can be inferred that although the Black Mountain thieves gathered in Taihang and ravaged Hebei for many years, they actually had some connection with Cao Cao, who was at that time. At least in the matter of Puyang, he really took himself as the cornerstone and provided great help for Cao Cao to establish his prestige, and he was also willing. ”
"Could it be that this black mountain thief is very likely to be a pawn used by Cao Cao to restrain Yuan Shao's forces, which became more and more powerful at the beginning?" Lu Lingqi covered her small mouth, pointed to the Black Mountain thief who was getting closer and closer, and Xiahou Yuan's department, who looked like a great enemy, she didn't mean to be flustered at all, but asked curiously with a look of curiosity: "Then what are they ......?"
"If you hang it for a long time, you will have a heart of slackness! Especially after discovering that Cao Cao, who they relied on, was actually not as strong as they imagined, it was easy to breed some untimely ideas! Say, instead! Qin Xu said without being shocked: "In fact, if you extrapolate from the actions and tricks of the Black Mountain thieves in the past two years, it can be easily seen. Previously, the Black Mountain Thief had always been a secret ally of Gongsun Zhan, and almost all of his actions and actions had a 'mission' to contain the development of Yuan Shao's forces. Does Ling'er remember when we 'ransacked' Yecheng? ”
"Hmmm! Before you went to Yecheng at that time, you seemed to be very puzzled by the fact that the Black Mountain Thief had such a bold thing! Lu Lingqi still remembers this first action with Qin Xu.
"It's not puzzled! It's strange! Qin Xu said with a smile: "At that time, the Black Mountain thief, even the lord only brought 3,000 soldiers and horses, and he could drag him for three days and did not dare to move lightly. Of course, the title of the first fierce general in the world did play a great role, but with this strength, he dared to provoke Yuan Shao, who was already the strongest in Hebei at that time, wasn't it a way to kill himself? Is it possible to achieve it, and not afraid that according to Yuan Shao's temperament of retribution, when he recovers, won't he immediately kill their rabble, who claim to be millions of people? That thief Shou Zhang Yan can mix to the point where he is now. It shouldn't be a stupid person who is home. Then there is only one explanation......"
"Could it be that those Black Mountain thieves knew that even if they really annoyed Yuan Shao, someone would clean up the mess for them? That's why they're free! Lu Lingqi rarely had such a smart brain, and asked by inference.
"Ling'er is so smart! Not bad! You think, at the beginning, Yuan Shao was disturbed by the Black Mountain bandits, and he never made any great achievements in the war with Gongsun Zhan. But what is strange is that it stands to reason that if this continues, Gongsun Chan has such a 'powerful' ally as the Black Mountain Thief, and with his strong strength at that time, he will soon be able to dominate Hebei. But it was in the great battle that could almost be called the fate of the Yuan clan and the Gongsun clan. The Montenegrin thieves, however, not only did they achieve their low-hanging fruit for their allies in one go. On the contrary, I don't know what stimulated me. It was a sudden backlash. made the Gongsun forces, which were almost able to completely annihilate Yuan Shao's forces, fall short. Suddenly, under the backlash, it was taken advantage of by the three coalition forces of Liu He, the son of Liu Yu, the former Youzhou Mu. Even his classmate Liu Bei, who was taken refuge in, didn't know what means he used, and he also 'imprisoned' himself in the Yijing City Fortress. This one thing after another. It's a little too weird. And what makes people even more hesitant is that although the Black Mountain thieves are called millions, they are different from the Qingxu Yellow Turban, but they are trapped in the mountains, and it is difficult to even feed themselves. Therefore, we have every reason to believe that the Montenegrin thieves are doing their best. There must be someone behind it. Originally, I had been hesitant before, whether it would be Cao Cao's masterpiece, but I didn't want it to be this loyal minister of the Han Dynasty who served the country and the people......"
"But what's going on? Could it be that Cao Cao also saw that the old man was not pleasing to the eye, and wanted to borrow your hand to get rid of the old man? But Zhongming, how can you say that the old man saved Cao Cao's life? Lu Lingqi is called an old man, and she is only in her early forties. Even Cao Cao's name is very easy to shout, and there is no sense of disobedience at all, and it can be seen that Lu Lingqi is not good at these two people.
"The first black mountain thief, Zhang Yan, is a smart person! Zhang Yan at the beginning, how to say it, was also the righteous son of Qu Shuai Zhang Niujiao during the Yellow Turban Incident, although I don't know why he secretly contacted Cao Cao, but it is conceivable that this Yan Shuai could not have a good impression of Cao Cao, who is known as the Yellow Turban Killer. But for the sake of millions of Black Mountain thieves, he has been dealing with Cao Cao for so many years, and he has endured until today for some reason, thinking that the time has come, and taking the opportunity to make trouble. I want to use the battle between Xun You and Xiahou Yuan and us to provoke a war between the lord and Cao Cao, so as to take the opportunity to make a move, but it's a pity that ......" Qin Xu sighed. Think about history, the Han court has had a headache for more than ten years, it is difficult to find, and the black mountain thieves are indeed easily passed on by Cao Cao, and the first black mountain thief Zhang Yan was promoted in one fell swoop, and he was shown as a general and the marquis of Guan Nei, if there is no connection between the two before, no one will believe it if he is killed, right? As for why Zhang Yan, who was single-mindedly used by the Cao family in history, suddenly turned back, Qin Xu was puzzled, and he could only attribute it to Cao Cao, who was invincible in history, and was successfully counterattacked by the sudden rise of the Lu Bu army several times, and the millions of Yellow Turban men and women in Qingxu and Xuzhou, who were the "seeds" left by the Yellow Turban Army back then, were not absorbed by Cao Cao, which made Zhang Yan worry-free, so it would be like this! Of course, this is just conjecture, unless you see Zhang Yan herself, otherwise, everything is just speculation.
"No wonder the old man and the yellow-faced man were so surprised just now, but Zhong Ming, you didn't mean to be surprised at all!" Lu Lingqi looked like my husband was strong, looked at the Black Mountain thieves who were about to be mixed together, and said with a bit of pride in her voice: "But Zhong Ming, what are you sorry for?" Look at the arrogant appearance of the yellow-faced man just now, wouldn't it be a good thing if he could use the hand of the Black Mountain thief to make us vent his evil anger? Belch...... Could it be that you have something else in mind? ”
"Nothing! I just think that the way the Black Mountain Thief works this time always has a sense of déjà vu. Moreover, this time the Black Mountain Thieves were not only aimed at Cao Junhe...... "Seeing the Black Mountain Thieves' calculations of killing people with knives, as well as the methods of using strength, just after seeing through the plans of these Black Mountain Thieves, a person's name appeared in front of Qin Xu's eyes in an instant. It's so similar! At the beginning, Qingzhou was almost taken away, isn't it an adapted version of such a routine? If it weren't for the fact that this man was too famous. And he is stubborn, he will never defile himself, and he will never have anything to do with the giant thieves who have been suppressed by the imperial court for more than ten years, Qin Xu is almost certain to be the one who is chubby, always with a resolute and warm smile, but in his heart he has always wanted to break his wrist with Lu Bujun.
"Who dares to do that?" Lu Lingqi hasn't turned the corner yet. Looking at Qin Xu's contemplative appearance, there was a bit of murder in his voice. But before Qin Xu could answer, he suddenly saw the Black Mountain thief who had the upper hand in the army of Xiahou Yuan, and suddenly divided into a team of nearly two thousand people. Together with more than 100 Black Mountain thieves who had escaped from the attack of the second battalion of Xiao Cavalry and Flying Cavalry with Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian before. It's a combined strand. Straight towards Qin Xu, who was only guarded by more than a thousand people and obviously defended the weakest, Qin Xu.
"Oh, these people are really bold! Koji! Qin Xu didn't mean to be worried at all, his face was calm and indifferent. This is by no means pretend. Just looking at Lu Lingqi, who was most worried about Qin Xu's safety around Qin Xu, not only did not protect Qin Xu behind him like before, but looked like she was eager to try and want to enter the battle to kill, it can be seen that even Lu Lingqi is so rare, Qin someone thinks that these two thousand black mountain thieves riding like a gust of black wind will not have any "impact" on Qin Xu's safety at all. But even if he didn't worry about it, Qin Xu still felt that it was necessary to have a good "theory" with these Black Mountain soldiers, which was undoubtedly a big deterrent bargaining chip for his subsequent actions in Jizhou. Seeing the guards in front of the car, although they were also high-spirited. I just wanted to rush forward in person, but because of my duty, I could only hold the crossbow in my hand to protect Qin Xu's safety, and Lu Yitong, who was the first to protect Qin Xu's safety, led the second general, and commanded: "General Lu Yi, Qin only listened to the general lead 800 Xiandeng dead soldiers before. You can defeat the tens of thousands of cavalry of Gongsun and your own casualties are negligible, and you have always wanted to see it! There is no chance on weekdays, can you demonstrate today to open Qin's eyes! ”
"Huh? Ha! Promise! "I wonder if it's the wrong ear of my own ears and the trick, that look is called a weird. Suspicious! Surprise! Astonished! It was as if Qin Xu heard this sentence in his ears, as if he had drunk the wine of the fairy world, and his whole body became very hot in an instant. Leaving three hundred newly recruited soldiers of the first battalion holding giant crossbows in front of Qin Xu's car, Lu Yi and Zhao Zhao divided their troops and led the remaining 300 people, nodded to each other with tacit understanding, and the battle intent on their bodies climbed to the peak almost instantly. Facing the Black Mountain thieves who were getting closer and closer, and the war horses had almost reached their best condition, there was even a bit of strong joy in their blood-filled red eyes.
"Brethren! Eat meat! With a strange shout from Lu Yi, who was the commander of the first battalion, the soldiers of the first battalion in yellow clothes and leather armor seemed to have received some kind of summoning, and almost immediately completed the transformation from the escort of the "second echelon" of the battle sequence of the Lu Bu army to the first-line soldiers, and the imitation of the huge first ascending crossbow was held horizontally in the hands of these soldiers, and the lower half of the horse was bumped and shook no matter how violently, and the upper body was also immovable.
Riding Shot!!
This is a method originated from the northern nomadic forces, such as the Xiongnu and Qiang, to effectively combine the long-range of the bow and crossbow with the mobility of horses. Under normal circumstances, archers or crossbow cavalry, for traditional light cavalry, are not weaker than the natural enemies of the pike phalanx. Compared with the general conventional bow and crossbow cavalry, whether it is in the quality of soldiers, sharp weapons, and even horse mobility, it will exceed several times or even more than ten times. In Qin Xu's words, with this power, the so-called mounted archery can no longer be described. Seeing the Black Mountain thieves riding around and attacking in a circle, the Black Mountain thieves only had to be beaten, except for the honest desire to run out of crossbow arrows in the crossbow box first, but they really couldn't find a solution, which can be called a "flying shot" magic skill!
"It seems that using the first camp as a guard of honor is indeed too condescending!" Seeing that he was holding the crossbow with both hands, he didn't use his hands to control the reins at all, and he relied on his waist and leg strength to control it, but as soon as he made contact, dozens of soldiers who were rushed to the front would line up, trying to avoid the attack of the crossbow arrows from the front and back according to the staggered movement of the front and back.
I have to say that these people may really have the guidance of a master behind them, so they will come up with an "effective" method, but they are not useful or not, and they are only shot into a sieve in an instant, and I believe it is not very comfortable. Although these thieves are also cavalry, and the horses they seem to be riding are also quite good, both the tall Youzhou horses and the durability of Yongliang horses, I believe they must be funded by the boss behind the Black Mountain thieves. However, this kind of gift was used like this by these Black Mountain thieves, and it was a tyrannical thing!
Ahem, how do you say that? If God doesn't give it, you will be blamed! Qin, who has already moved his "greed", how could he let this great opportunity, which can be called "fat", as long as it is used properly, glance in front of his own eyes in vain......
