Chapter 432: I'm going to be bait
Cao Cao wanted to directly continue to defeat Gao Shun first, or at least wait until Lu Bu personally brought troops to the rescue before he began to flee according to the original plan.
South of Xizhai, not far away,
"It's coming! It's coming! Why don't you bring people over?! Zhu Rong exclaimed excitedly.
"Don't get excited!" Guo Jia pursed his lips helplessly, "It's impossible for reinforcements to come over so quickly, this should just be the defenders sent by Lu Bu in advance just in case." It's just that I didn't expect that the defenders actually came later than us, so this became reinforcements. Lu Bu has not yet appeared, and it is impossible for the lord to choose to flee at this time. Guo Jia analyzed.
The reason why the ambush was located in this relatively close place where he could barely observe the battle situation, Guo Jia also had no choice. After all, for the sake of Cao Cao's safety, this time Cao Cao personally used it as bait, and Lu Bu had a red rabbit BMW, if he really buried the ambush far away, maybe Cao Cao had already been caught up by Lu Bu before he ran here.
Therefore, even if the ambush is so close, it is easy to be discovered, and even if it is successful, it is easy for other Lu troops to break the ambush encirclement and rescue Lu Bu among them, but under the compromise, Guo Jia can only make such a choice. Because, even now, Guo Jia still tends to believe that this war will not end so easily. Steady and steady fighting is the key to the final victory of the normal battle!
However, since Guo Jia has made a move this time, he should win the next battle first and frustrate Lu Bu's spirit!
"Huh? It's finally a little more interesting, but how long will it take? Zhu Rong complained, sure enough. Zhu Rong, this guy is definitely at home, Cai Wenji and others. When you have nothing to do, you can play the piano. Look at books, embroidery, write poems or something, but what about Zhurong? Is this something she can do?
For Zhu Rong, it is estimated that the only way to be considered entertainment is to ride a horse out of the city to hunt. And before, even if Zhu Rong was a woman, she had to work by herself to fill her stomach, but now. The entire family is all supported by Guo Jia alone. Zhu Rong must be so bored that he can't do it, so he will be so excited when he has something now.
"Interesting? I really don't know how terrible war is. Guo Jia said speechlessly, "How do I feel that my right eyelid is always jumping." ”
"It means you're excited!" Zhu Rong said with a smile.
The corners of Guo Jia's mouth twitched,
"Excitement and nervousness are not the same thing."
However, although ambush is not a technical job, it is a very test of patience. I remember that the revolutionary martyr Qiu Shaoyun was unfortunately hit by an enemy incendiary bomb during a lurking mission during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. The whole body was burned by the flames, but Qiu Shaoyun always lay in the fire in order not to expose the target and affect the overall combat deployment. He did not move until he died honorably, and exchanged his life for the victory of the whole battle.
Although many people have doubts about this paragraph. But it's not easy to reflect the latent on the side.
Think about it, usually wait for someone. After waiting for ten minutes, it is estimated that I can't stand it, and it feels like a few hours. And now. Not only do you have to wait, but the key is to lurk and not be discovered by the enemy.
And this waiting, not to say anything for ten minutes, it is possible to wait for ten hours directly.
Cao Cao's ambush soldiers were out of the camp at the same time as Cao Cao, and it was dusk when they came to Xizhai, and when Gao Shun and others arrived, they were already around the second watch.
Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't sleep in this tense situation, Guo Jia would almost want to sleep first.
Probably because it was inconvenient to fight at night, and probably because Gao Shun and others were not easy to deal with, although Cao Cao had the upper hand, he had not been able to defeat the troops brought by Gao Shun. And seeing that it was almost dawn, at this moment, the direction of Puyang in the east suddenly shook with drums, and people reported that Lu Bu had already led the rescue army!
The morale of Lu Bu's side suddenly soared, and Cao Cao's side was tired because he had been fighting all night, and now facing the energetic Lu Bu, how could he have combat effectiveness. But that's okay, in this case, directly choosing to abandon the village and flee will not arouse Lu Bu's suspicions.
"It's coming!" Zhu Rong's eyes lit up, and he instantly cheered up and clenched his weapon.
However, Guo Jia's face suddenly changed,
"Not good!"
It turned out that Lu Bu probably expected Cao Cao to escape, and since Cao Cao's camp was in the south, if Cao Cao wanted to run, he would definitely flee back to the camp in the south, so Lu Bu actually went around to the south directly, blocking Cao Cao's line who was about to escape!
Sure enough, Gao Shun and the others in front of him are a huge variable!
Originally, if Gao Shun and others had not delayed Cao Cao, Cao Cao would have been able to break through and escape from the south before Lu Bu. Similarly, if there was no Gao Shun and others fighting Cao Cao, then Lu Bu, who came from the east, must have fought Cao Cao directly to the east of Cao's army, and it was impossible to deliberately go around to the south to fight, so it was very easy for Cao Cao to escape from the south.
And now? The east was blocked by Gao Shun and others, and the south was directly blocked by Lu Bu. Cao Cao could only flee to the west or north, but Guo Jia's ambush was precisely to the south. Could it be that Cao Cao could still break through Lu Bu head-on and rush out?
"My lord, what are we going to do now?!" Yu Ban, who was also ambushed with Guo Jia, hurriedly asked.
It seems that the ambush is estimated to be ineffective, and now should he rush out directly to attack Lu Bu with Cao Cao?!
Perhaps, from the perspective of formation, this kind of front and back attack is a good choice. But now, Cao Cao's side, after fighting all night, has no combat effectiveness! Moreover, there is Gao Shun on Lu Bu's side who can contain Cao Cao on the side. In other words, if Guo Jia led his troops to rush out, it would be a direct battle with Lu Bu!
Not to mention that under normal circumstances, it would have been impossible to defeat Lu Bu, just to say that the soldiers on Guo Jia's side were ambushed all night, and their state was not much better than Cao Cao's, could they be compared with the reinforcements brought by Lu Buxin? At this time, only by continuing to be an ambush can the odds of victory be guaranteed. Therefore, now I can only try my best to lure Lu Bu here!
Fortunately, because it is not too far away, it can give Guo Jia some first aid.
"I'm going to be bait!" Guo Jia suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted, now he can only gamble, although it is very dangerous, but he Guo Jia has a destiny, there should be no problems. Guo Jia comforted himself so much in his heart.
"How does this work?! My lord, let's just rush out! Yu Ban exclaimed.
"Nope! Continue to ambush, I should be able to lure Lu Bu over. Guo Jia said firmly, but soon became a little frightened, "Well, I still have to send a few good men to protect me, at least at a critical time, I must be able to stop Lu Bu's pace of chasing me." (To be continued......)
