――――――

"Report!"

Just as Li Li was about to go into battle in person, a personal soldier ran forward quickly and reported the latest battle situation on the Taniguchi plank road.

"My lord, the Cao army that had just retreated broke through the siege and rushed to kill again, breaking through the forward defense line garrisoned by General Zhang Liao in one go, and is now fighting with the second line of defense garrisoned by the two generals Qubei and Xu Chu!"

"Huh?" Li Li's voice changed when he heard this, and he said in surprise: "The Cao army broke through the first line of defense of our army so quickly and fought against Xu Chu and the others, which means that they are already close to the valley mouth!" ”

The soldier nodded in response: "Exactly." This time, Cao's army somehow completely abandoned the valley and attacked in general, with a few generals charging in front and taking the lead in opening the way, after which the enemy's morale was high and the attack was rapid. In less than a cup of tea, the enemy repelled General Zhang Liao's headquarters, and then engaged the second echelon led by General Xu Chu. ”

While the soldiers were talking, Guo Jia looked up at the moonlight to judge the time, and then turned his head to look in the direction of Hangu Pass, but did not hear any movement. Suddenly, his expression became solemn, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared coldly at the hustle and bustle of the battle in the Taniguchi plank road, and his brows were slightly furrowed thoughtfully.

After the report of the pro-soldiers was completed, Guo Jia stared at the direction of the valley mouth, and continued without squinting: "Let me ask you, is there not much left of the 3,000 cavalry led by the two generals Zhang Liao and Hu Che'er, have the two generals been injured, and what are the casualties of the enemy?" ”

"General Zhang Liao was safe and sound, General Hu Che'er was injured and defeated by Cao Hong and a young general, and then Cao Hong slashed General Hu in the back. Fortunately, the wound was not deep, and it did not hurt the muscles and bones, and it was slightly bandaged. General Hu was reluctant to withdraw from the valley, and together with General Zhang Liao, he retreated to the second line of defense, still fighting Cao's army. ”

“??? After the previous battle, there are now only more than 600 of the 3,000 cavalry under General Zhang Liao, and more than half of the soldiers are wounded soldiers, so they can't resist the fierce offensive of the Cao army, so they have to retreat to the valley mouth to continue to block the Cao army. At the same time, Cao's army in the valley suffered heavy casualties, and the enemy troops who suffered casualties under the indiscriminate arrows and rocks were more than 13,000 people, most of whom were wounded. Now it has been abandoned by Cao Jun in the valley. The enemy troops who fought head-on with General Zhang Liao suffered about four or five thousand casualties, and the remaining more than 20,000 enemy troops have now poured into the plank road, charging towards the valley mouth without fear of death. ”

Guo Jia was shocked when he heard this, and the solemn color on his face became more and more intense: "That is to say." The soldiers of the Cao army who stormed the plank road were on a par with the combat effectiveness of our army's Jinyi Guard cavalry, and the casualties were only twice as many as those of our army. So to speak. The combat effectiveness of Cao Cao's soldiers is amazing. Not to be underestimated! ”

"This ???" The soldiers were stunned when they heard this, and they hesitated to speak, and when they saw Guo Jia's unhappy face, they immediately explained: "The military division is good, it's not that the enemy is strong, but that the Taniguchi plank road is too narrow. Tens of thousands of soldiers of the two armies were gathered, so that the cavalry could not be used at all, not only could not kill the enemy with the help of mounts, but were burdened by mounts. Tied up and slow to react. However, most of Cao's army were foot soldiers, acting quickly and outnumbered, so they could fight head-on with our army and not fall behind. If you are in the wilderness, three thousand Golden Guards are enough to destroy more than three times the enemy's army, and their own casualties will not be too great. ”

After speaking, the face of the soldier showed indignation, because he was also a member of the Golden Guard. The casualties of the Jinyi Guards cavalry this time were so heavy that he was resentful, and he couldn't wait to go into battle by himself to see how effective the Cao army was. However, the reasons he said were indeed objective reasons, and they were based on facts and facts, not subjective assumptions.

"Wait!" Just as the soldiers got up to leave, Li Li called out to stop him; "You just said that the Cao army suffered less than 20,000 casualties, and now the Cao army that rushed to the valley mouth to fight is more than 20,000 people, adding up to a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses. According to the scout's previous report, Cao's army has more than 60,000 soldiers and horses, so where are the 20,000 soldiers and horses, why did no one come to report? ”

"Ahh When the soldiers heard this, they were shocked, and they knelt down in fear and said: "The lord is angry, the 20,000 Cao troops have gone to the north of Feiyundu at the second watch, and went straight to the 8,000 defenders under General Teng Xiao. ”

"At the time of the second watch? That is to say, when Cao Hong led the army to kill for the first time, the 20,000 Cao troops had already gone to the valley mouth in the north, and at this time they should have been in close contact with Teng Xiao's troops. Li Li did not blame the commander of his own soldiers, because he sent dozens of personal soldiers to the valley mouth and the top of the mountains on both sides, and the Cao army divided his troops to attack the northern end of the valley mouth was also expected.

Waving his hand to signal his soldiers to retreat, Li Lijian frowned slightly, turned his head to look in the direction of Hangu Pass, and like Guo Jia, he didn't see the figure of the iron horse in hope, and there was still no movement.

"Don't worry, lord. I just saw the sky, General Li Zhi left Feiyundu for exactly half an hour, presumably he has arrived at Hangu Pass at this moment, at most half an hour, the Shuofeng battalion can be the first to arrive, and the Flying Bear Heavy Armored Cavalry under General Huan Fei will arrive later. Therefore, the top priority is that we must hold the valley mouth for half an hour, just wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and surround and attack from all sides, and then we can wipe out the Cao army in one fell swoop! Seeing that Li Li's expression was different, Guo Jia comforted softly.

Li Li shook his head slightly: "I'm too anxious tonight, and I'm a little anxious for quick success, if I delay it for half an hour, it will be foolproof." The more you rush to get things done, the more likely you are to make mistakes, and the more unforgivable mistakes you make. That was the case with tonight's battle. ”

“??? I arranged the powerful Jinyiwei cavalry to intercept at the valley mouth, but arranged the infantry troops with limited combat effectiveness outside the valley mouth and on the cliffs on both sides, which seemed to be a reasonable arrangement, but in fact put the cart before the horse, and invisibly exposed the weakness of our army's insufficient strength. The cavalry entering the valley mouth plank road is to avoid the advantages and take the weaknesses, and to bring about their own destruction, which is equivalent to telling Cao Cao bluntly that our army is inferior to him, so he had to send cavalry to block the valley mouth. The infantry troops on the cliffs on both sides lacked experience in big battles, and at the beginning of the battle, they threw arrows, stones, and oil into the valley, but in less than half an hour, the arrows were exhausted, and the stones were thrown, and there was not a drop of oil left. So much so that Cao Cao saw through the reality of our army at a glance and concentrated all his forces to attack the valley, but the infantry army on the cliff of our army was helpless, occupying the favorable terrain in vain, but watching Cao's army attack the plank road at the valley entrance like a bamboo, helpless. ”

As he spoke, Li Li sighed softly in annoyance: "Alas! That's it. Regret is no avail, for the sake of today's plan, there is only one way to go. Tonight, I want to personally test how powerful the combat power of Cao Cao's soldiers is, and see if he Cao A is hiding his life, or my Li Li's knife is fast! ”

"The lord still wants to go into battle in person?" Guo Jia stubbornly admonished: "This ??? Wei Chen still said the same thing, the lord's body is the future and fate of millions of people, and he must not be in danger??????"

Li Li raised his hand to signal Guo Jia that he didn't need to say anything more: "I understand Fengxiao's kindness, but I have made up my mind and will go to meet Cao Mengde in person." In fact, as early as when I went to Xuzhou, I wanted to fight Cao Cao. It's a pity that Xuzhou is not our territory after all, there are no soldiers and no generals, and if we rush to get together, it is equivalent to death. Even so, Cao Cao then sent the Xiahou brothers to follow along the road until a bloody battle in Bufu overnight. We and Cao Cao have already formed a great enmity, and they are on the same page.

Qingshan does not change. Green water flows forever. In the past, the Bufu by the Yangtze River was replaced by Feiyun crossing the mountain stream, and Cao Mengde became the target of my Li Li. If he wants to escape from under my nose, it depends on how capable he is, and whether he can fall into the rolling torrent like me Li Li and not die. Death is auspicious! ”

Guo Jia was silent when he heard this, and he had the intention to persuade Li Li not to go into battle in person, but he also knew that once Li Li decided to do something, it would be equivalent to golden mouth, and it was useless to persuade anyone. But there are some things that need to be said. Otherwise, he would not be Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao.

"The grudge between the lord and Cao Cao is indeed very deep, and it has become an intolerable situation, and only by completely destroying Cao Cao can this grudge be resolved. Prior to this, Cao Cao calculated the lord, but instead of harming others, he took the lives of the Xiahou brothers and more than 300 family dead. Tonight, Cao Cao wanted to lurk here again, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack Hangu Pass, and by chance we were touched, and turned around to encircle and annihilate his 60,000 army, just General Hu Che'er beheaded his eldest son Cao Ang. In this way, the grudge between the two sides is getting deeper and deeper, and it cannot be resolved no matter what, and only by destroying Cao Cao's family can the deep hatred between each other be eliminated.

Therefore, I have a strategy to destroy Cao Cao, I wonder if the lord can adopt it? ”

"Oh? Feng Xiao might as well speak bluntly, and he is not guilty of making mistakes! Li Li said with a surprised chin of surprise.

"Since this is the case, Weichen said bluntly." Guo Jia nodded happily, and then looked up at the stone cliffs on both sides of the valley mouth, his eyes full of awe-inspiring murderous intent.

"My lord and look at this cliff about fifty paces outside the valley mouth, which is the narrowest part of the entire valley mouth plank road, no more than two zhang wide, and there are cliffs on both sides. If the plank road is blocked by throwing stones from the top of the mountain, it can block the Cao army in the mountain stream, thereby reducing the casualties of our army, and it is even possible to trap the Cao army in the valley. However, in order to ensure the success of this plan, it was necessary to give up the lives of thousands of Jinyi guards, so that they could be blocked in the plank road to entangle Cao's army and not be able to pass Guò, as well as General Teng Xiao and his 8,000 soldiers at the northern end of the mountain stream??? I'm afraid I'm going to die here.

After our army blocked the valley pass, the troops rushed to the north of the valley mouth in two ways to intercept them before the Cao army broke through the defense. The valley mouth in the north is not as good as here, it is relatively open, which is convenient for cavalry to fight, and with five thousand iron cavalry in the hands of the lord, it is enough to block Cao's army in the mountain stream and dare not show his head. In this way, the reinforcements of Hangu Pass will also arrive, and it will be easy to besiege and destroy Cao's army from all sides. I hadn't seen the terrain of the valley mouth in the south with my own eyes before, so I couldn't think of this strategy, but when I came to the valley mouth at this time, I knew that our army didn't have to fight hard at all, and it could trap Cao's army in the mountain stream and couldn't get out.

I don't know what happens under the Lord's will? ”

After Li Li heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he muttered: "There are no more stones available on the cliff, how can you block the plank road?" ”

"What's so hard about that? General Ma Chao had 8,000 foot soldiers, each carrying a stone up the eastern slope, and two teas could climb to the top of the mountain, and then block the plank road. ”

Li Li frowned when he heard this, and shook his head lightly: "Actually, the moment I climbed to the top of the mountain before, I also had this thought. But when I thought of Teng Xiao, Tie Xiao, Guo Meng, and the 8,000 Hedong brothers who remained at the mouth of the valley at the northern end, I resolutely decided to give up this idea, and would rather lead my brothers to fight bloody battles than give up the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in vain. There are more than 20,000 people in our army tonight, and even if more than half of them are killed in the battle, they are only more than 10,000 people, but if the lives of these soldiers are sacrificed in vain, I Li Li will not be able to do it, and I will not bother to do so. ”

“??? Feng Xiao doesn't need to be persuaded anymore. Let's fight, these five thousand war horses are handed over to Meng Qi to command, he is injured and should not fight. Xu Dingsu went to transfer 3,000 foot soldiers, Xu Huang supported me to fight left and right, this time I personally led 3,000 foot soldiers into the plank road to meet Cao Mengde, and see what skills he has to rush out of the valley in front of me Li Li! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Li kicked lightly with his feet, and the Golden Lion Beast King moved instantly, galloping out like an arrow from a string, and the golden light flashed dozens of steps away. Behind him, Xu Huang beat his horse and galloped, and Xu Ding led the three thousand infantry army to run to keep up, and went straight to the Tanikou plank road.
