Chapter 460: The Battle Begins
The month of January has arrived.
Cao Cao didn't hide it at all, with Cao Ren as the vanguard, Xiahou Yuan was in charge of grain and grass, a total of 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers sent Xiaopei on the same day, intending to fight a decisive battle with Lu Yao in Xiaopei according to his words.
As for the players, Cao Cao didn't count them, but just ordered the players to act as a rear army and follow the grain and grass baggage.
This apparently discriminatory command didn't make waves among players. Participating in Cao Cao's camp, and accompanying the players who came to participate in the Battle of Xuzhou, they followed the rear army's grain and grass baggage troops to Xiaopei slowly.
The reason is just a sentence from Cangyue and other families.
The great god likes to rob grain.
In just one sentence, all players accepted this explanation. Looking at the past achievements of the legendary player Lone Boat, it is not difficult to find that the great god's favorite is to rob grain. If you succeed in robbing food, no matter how awesome your opponent is, you have to kneel.
One of the most classic battles is the invasion mission of the Bloody Plains.
That battle was no longer a secret, and through the propaganda of the members of the Mutual Aid Alliance, Lu Yao's battle was cited as a classic example. not only defeated the alliance of the Nanban and the Yamatai Kingdom, but even subdued a large number of famous Nanban generals such as Wutu Gu and Mrs. Zhurong in one fell swoop.
After this battle, the power of the great god skyrocketed, and the limelight was unmatched for a while.
This time to attack Xuzhou, the opponent is a great god again. Protecting the logistics of grain and grass is, of course, a top priority. It doesn't matter if you are despised by Cao Cao, what everyone wants is victory. It is not only a victory in the overall situation of the entire battle of Guandu, but also a spiritual victory.
After all, the fame of the great god is too great, and it is naturally a kind of pressure.
As a result, the entire logistics system is unprecedentedly large. Hundreds of thousands of players, under the leadership of Cangyue and others, really created an iron bucket-like defense system and strictly protected the logistics system.
Let's not mention the players for now.
Cao Ren personally led the pioneer, led 10,000 soldiers and horses to go first, opened the road in the mountains, built a bridge in the water, and took Xiaopei directly. He desperately hopes to take down Xiao Pei as soon as possible and clear his brother's suspicion.
The monarch and the minister are suspicious, which is very bad.
A few days later, the scout hurriedly reported that there were soldiers and horses blocking the way. Cao Ren immediately perked up and rode his horse to the front.
"Changshan Zhao Zilong is here, who is coming? Why did you invade Xuzhou? Zhao Yun white horse silver spear shouted in front of the battle.
"General Zhao, the prime minister wants to hunt with the prince Yu Xiaopei, a certain person is a pioneer, and I have seen it here." Cao Ren clenched his fists and shouted.
"It turned out to be General Cao." Zhao Yun smiled heartily, suddenly changed his words, and shouted: "I was ordered to guard this place, and I asked the general to turn around and inform the prime minister that this road is not passable, so find another way." ”
"How daring." Cao Ren was immediately furious, and immediately rode his horse and speared Zhao Yun directly.
Zhao Yun was not in a hurry, gently clamped the white dragon horse, and got out of the way. Immediately, an ugly-looking high-spirited giant man dragged an iron thistle bone and strode out of the formation.
"General Zhao, thank you first." The vulture bone smiled, hugged his fist at Zhao Yun, and then strode up to meet him.
Cao Ren was no stranger to Lu Yao's generals, and when he saw it, he guessed that this was the Southern Barbarian vulture bone, known as the world's number one fierce general, and he didn't dare to slack off in his heart, so he immediately accelerated his speed. When he got close, he immediately stabbed with his gun.
"Come down." The vulture bone laughed, and the iron thistle bone swept away, ignoring the iron spear that stabbed at him.
Cao Ren: "......"
With a ding, the tip of the spear stabbed the vulture bone in the chest, and pulled a spark on the 10,000-year-old vine armor, forcing the vulture bone back half a step back with the momentum. It was this half-step difference, and the iron thistle bone passed by the horse's leg dangerously and dangerously, startling Cao Ren's crotch mount to stand up on the spot.
"It's hard." Cao Ren was shocked and hurriedly stabilized his mount.
He had heard that the vultures were dressed in invulnerable rattan armor and were also made of steel and iron, and they could not be injured by leisure. When he saw it today, he realized that it was all rumors.
Nima is clearly a humanoid beast.
Riding a horse at a gallop, how much momentum he has, Cao Ren couldn't know it better. But he had never seen anyone resist a cavalry lunge, which was simply not something a human could do.
The vulture bone failed to succeed in a single blow, and he didn't care. He listened to Lu Yao's words, and knew that it was okay not to have a mount, but if he wanted a mount, the mount was his biggest weakness. So he simply fought on foot all the time. The biggest advantage of foot combat is that you can be flexible, and you can come as you want.
So the vulture bone slashed the thistle bone with one hand, and the backhand was another sweep. Cao Ren didn't have time to turn his horse to dodge at this time, and watched as the huge iron thistle terrestris Guduo smashed the two front legs of the mount five or six meters away on the spot, and blood splattered everywhere.
With a terrible neigh, the yellow husd lost its front leg support and fell on the spot. Cao Ren's heart was broken at the moment, watching the earth get closer and closer, and then there was a close contact, and he fell so hard that he couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.
The vulture grinned, strode forward, and was about to pick up Cao Ren with one hand and go back to ask for credit. At this time, Zhao Yun shouted in the back: "General Vulture Bone, the prince has an order, not to hurt General Cao Ren, Hugh has to do it." ”
"Uh-oh." The vulture was reminded by Zhao Yun and nodded busily. Only then did he remember Lu Yao's advice before leaving. Isn't the Cao Jiang in front of him one of the lists?
"A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated!" Cao Ren regained some sanity at this time, and happened to hear Zhao Yun shouting, and immediately became so angry that his face was like a pig's liver, and he didn't care about the opponent who was far from being a vulture, and stabbed with a gun.
On the side of the vulture bone, let go of the crooked and non-threatening iron spear, and raised his hand to slap Cao Ren's whole person.
"This is the king's kindness, I don't know what to say." The vulture slapped Cao Ren on the spot, and he muttered and turned around and left. It's a pity that his muttering voice is a little louder, no different from ordinary people's talk.
10,000 Cao Jun looked confused.
Can the battle still be fought like this?
"General Cao Ren, the last general is acting on orders, please forgive me. This road is not passable, please find another way. Zhao Yun hugged his fists and apologized, and then led the army to retreat like a tide.
After a short time, the official road ahead was unobstructed, and not a single enemy soldier could be seen. But the 10,000 Cao soldiers didn't dare to act rashly, and their eyes were all cast on the lost Cao Ren.
Cao Ren's heart has completely collapsed at this moment. Retreat, absolutely impossible. entered, and couldn't beat the savage of the vulture bone, not to mention that there was Zhao Yun in the back to press the formation. He alone could not break through the blockade.
"General." More than a dozen relatives rushed to ride horses, turned over and dismounted from a distance, and gathered beside Cao Ren.
"Go and tell the prime minister quickly, the enemy is unstoppable, and please make a quick decision to the prime minister." Cao Ren's face was like ashes, and he gave orders with difficulty.
……
In the camp of the Chinese army, Cao Cao received an urgent report from Cao Ren, and immediately raised his account and convened civil and military consultations.
Guo Jia is also in a dilemma at the moment. The vulture bone is indeed fierce and inappropriate, and Zhao Yun is in the array, and Cao Ren alone is indeed not an opponent. At present, either he honestly does not take the official road and finds another way to rush to Xiaopei, or he can only send more generals to help.
But the problem is that at present, in addition to Xuzhou, you also have to guard against Yuan Shao in Hebei. Xu Huang and other generals have other responsibilities. Thinking about it, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Hong can be used.
It's just that...... Should I use it or not?
