Chapter 880: Mutual Temptation
In this grand battle of the Central Plains, this battle of crossing the river is not even an episode, it can only be said to be a small step in countless battles. Its tragedy is also not as good as the bloody and bloody wind that Wang Yu has experienced, but he is engrossed in it, as if he is engaged in a battle with the main force of the Cao army.
The scene in front of him is not suitable to be described as tragic, fighting with faith, fighting to carry forward the heroic style of the Han Dynasty, even if there is a sacrifice, it is not a tragic word.
Wang Yu will not lament and grief senselessly, people always have to die, in the words of a general he liked very much in later generations: a real soldier should die on the last bullet of the last battle in the war.
He started this Central Plains War by himself, not for ambition, but to make the Chinese ethnic group no longer kill each other and use all his strength for foreign development! The warriors who sacrificed their lives in this war will truly be respected from generation to generation, and they will be listed in the history of Denmark and buried in the martyrs' shrine.
If it weren't for the current position, Wang Yu would have wanted to replace Tai Shici and kill the west bank with a long lance.
Cao Cao is Cao Cao, who is strategically scheming and has exerted all the forces that can be used to the extreme, not like himself, because of the persistence brought by some foresight, he has more or less missed some opportunities to join forces. Although there is a lack of many generals such as Yu Ban and Xu Huang, he has also trained an elite soldier by his own efforts.
With this person as an opponent, it is not in vain that he has worked hard in the past few years.
"The quilt Ziyi rushed up, these camps along the river shouldn't last long, right? Look, the arrows fired in the battalion have begun to mess up! "Crossing the river and tackling key problems. The iron cavalry was useless, so Lu Qiling could only follow Wang Yu to watch the battle. Of course, her idea will not be as complicated as Wang Yu's, but she is eager to try. The mood of wanting to replace each other is the same.
Of course it's messy.
Both sides did not use all the main forces, but the forces of the Tiger Prison Pass were scattered among the dozens of camps in and in front of the pass, and the troops were quite scattered, and the archers were originally much less than Qingzhou on the east coast, even if there was no bed crossbow factor, they were also inferior. When Tai Shi Ci came over with a fierce momentum, hundreds of tigers and wolves followed closely behind him, and the Cao soldiers in the camp naturally doubled the pressure.
It stands to reason that the attacking troops after crossing the river. It should have formed a team on the shore and launched an offensive in an orderly manner, but Tai Shici didn't take that time, he just flew over in the most ferocious way, roaring and killing the camp wall.
It is difficult to make a fine command in such an offensive way, and it is easy to be weak after encountering obstacles, but the question is, who can stop a fierce man like Tai Shici?
The distance of fifty steps is just a matter of a few vertical leaps for Tai Shici, who is known for his speed. As if the full armor he was wearing didn't exist, it took a few breaths to be under the camp wall.
In the rush, he still had time to observe the situation of the wall, and chose a weak link to rush straight over. When they got closer, the guns and halberds combined together and smashed directly into the wall. Forcibly smashed a few bowl-thick wooden stakes into the sky full of flying debris. Before the defenders could come to their senses, the halberd in his hand turned into a whirlwind. Directly involved in the camp, setting off a bloody storm.
War is, of course, a contest of collective strength. But it is also the best stage for heroes to shine.
In the battle of the array, Ren is the reincarnation of the overlord, and Xinbu is reborn, and he cannot play the role of ten thousand enemies, but in such a battle, the role of the fierce general is indeed better than that of the army of ten thousand.
Tai Shi Ci alone can jump on the unfinished pontoon bridge to the opposite bank, and then it is like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, how can it be so easy for an army of 10,000 people to cross the pontoon bridge and launch an offensive?
The Cao army behind the camp wall had already lined up a defensive position, and the spearmen in front of them were ready to rely on the wall and cooperate with the archers to kill and injure the Qingzhou army attacking the camp. As a result, I didn't prevent Tai Shici from being so fierce, and he was stirred up for a while, where can he take care of anything else?
Tai Shici's personal guards followed the route of the main general's assault and then rushed, and the attacked camp was soon completely dumbfounded.
After Tai Shi Ci rushed up, Guan Ping took over the heavy responsibility of command, and quickly mobilized auxiliary troops to replace them, and the progress of the pontoon bridge was greatly accelerated.
"These barracks may seem like they're hard to break, but they're actually very simple." Lu Qiling turned her head to look at Wang Yu, and there was an expectant look in her bright eyes under the helmet. Wang Yu knew that the barbarian girl was changing direction and asking for battle.
"It won't be that simple, Xiahou Dun should have known a long time ago that Xingshui is not enough, so he just set up a few camps on the bank of the river, hundreds of steps apart, far less dense than those under the city. His purpose is not really to stop our army, but just to delay time......"
Wang Yu pointed to the other side and said, "You see, the archers before were not killed or retreated, but withdrew from the camp according to the established retreat. Presumably, these archers were the elite of the army, and those spearmen were just county soldiers, so they were killed so quickly...... It seems that not only am I testing Cao Jun, but Xia Houdun is also testing our army. ”
Zhuge Liang nodded and echoed: "That's right, from beginning to end, Cao Cao didn't put the hope of victory on defeating our army head-on, and if he wants to force him to fight a decisive battle, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult." ”
As he spoke, the situation in the West Bank changed again. Seeing Tai Shi Ci's unstoppable rush over, the Cao army of the second battalion directly gave up resistance and withdrew directly from the back door. The other three unattacked camps along the river also retreated without a fight, and did not forget to set fire to the empty camp before leaving.
Of course, Tai Shici would not let go of such a good opportunity, and chased after the enemy. Driving away the enemy's defeated troops and attacking the camp, and the bead curtain is upside down, which has always been the only good way to take the enemy lightly.
But when he chased a paragraph, he realized that something was wrong.
There is a distance of nearly 1,000 steps between the camp and the rear camp along the river, which seems to be flat, but in fact it is another mystery. When the defeated soldiers stepped out of a section, they lifted some planks on the ground, revealing the trenches below. In addition to these criss-crossing trenches, there are also many traps, Tai Shi Ci stepped on one, fortunately he closed his feet quickly enough, otherwise he would have capsized in the gutter.
After discovering that there was a trap, Tai Shici drank the guards behind him and chased him down alone.
On his own, of course, it was impossible to hunt down many people or break through another barracks. However, the main purpose of his crossing this time was not to conquer the Tiger Pass, but to try to find out the enemy's defensive arrangements.
He fought on the west bank, Wang Yu watched the enemy from a high place, and the movement and deployment of the enemy army were also clear at a glance, and he could make a relatively accurate assessment of the difficulty of tackling key problems.
In history, Gan Ning's hundred cavalry marched into battle, in addition to boosting morale, it was not for such a purpose. If you really launch the main army to attack the west bank, and finally find that the seemingly flat ground is full of thorns and it is difficult to move an inch, won't you be in a dilemma at that time? If Cao Cao led the main army to arrive in time, it would have become a disaster.
Since it was a temptation, of course he had to rush as far as he could.
Anyway, he is a master of art and boldness, and he knows that he is charging into battle alone, if the Cao army can't come up with a countermeasure, it will affect morale to some extent, and on this kind of man-made complex terrain, he can't open up a large army to besiege. It would be great if you could take the opportunity to attract a certain general of the Cao army out and capture him.
Tai Shi Ci's mind couldn't hide from Wang Yu, and he also couldn't hide it from Xiahou Dun, but the latter had no intention of letting Tai Shi Ci show off his might in front of the battle, and directly sent the most powerful cadres to the horse.
Tai Shi Ci has a combination of guns and halberds, but the generals of Cao Jun are holding halberds in both hands, as soon as he looks at the shape, Wang Yu recognizes the identity of the enemy general, which is not Tai Shi Ci's old opponent Dian Wei?
Tai Shi Ci was close, and he could see it more clearly than Wang Yu, and when he saw that it was Dian Wei, he was also overjoyed, and rushed forward with a loud shout. He is known as the first fierce general in Qingzhou, following under Wang Yu, it can be described as invincible, the only opponent who failed to win is Dian Wei in front of him, I thought that there would be no more opportunities to go heads-up, but I never thought that I met here.
Tai Shi Ci was excited, why didn't Dian Wei look forward to this battle for a long time?
When Tai Shici crossed the bridge and rushed to the camp, Dian Wei had been asking for battle, but Xiahou Dun never agreed, and watched several camps along the river fall one after another. Dian Wei thought that there was no chance, but he didn't expect that after the two armies disengaged, there would be a chance to go head-to-head, and he was naturally overjoyed.
The two fierce generals collided head-on, and the two pairs of weapons waved like the wind, viciously colliding with sparks in the sky, and a dragon and tiger battle began.
Wang Yu didn't expect such a change, but he was also happy to watch a lively show. The last time Tai Shi Ci fought Dian Wei was a cavalry battle, although Dian Wei's martial arts were strong, his riding skills were relatively average, and in the end, Tai Shi Ci had the upper hand. At that time, Wang Yu's martial arts had not yet been completed, and he couldn't see what the martial arts of the two of them were for a while, so he just had a clear look at this time.
"Beat the drums, cheer for Ziyi!"
In a real war, it is quite rare for a military general to go head-to-head, and the probability of the same opponent being met is even lower than negligible. But I have to say that this kind of fighting style with a retro meaning is even more pleasing to see, and the officers and men of the two armies who have just escaped from the fierce fighting only feel that their fatigue and pain are gone, and their emotions are suddenly high.
Wang Yu's order was quickly carried out, and the drummer seemed to be infected by the emotions of the crowd, beating the war drums with a sense of rhythm, and even those who were in the rear army and did not know what was happening on the front line felt that their blood was surging, and it was difficult to control themselves.
Soon, drums sounded on the other side, and they were on par with the Qingzhou Army, just like the two fierce generals in the fierce battle.
Watching a great matchup, it's easy to lose track of time. When Wang Yu heard Zhuge Liang's call and recovered from the wonderful duel, he found that it was already sunset.
Zhuge Liang had a serious face and said softly: "Lord, General Zilong has sent a message that the Windwind Army has encountered the enemy army and is fighting and retreating, please prepare as soon as possible." (To be continued......)
