Chapter 1042: Battle of Guandu (4)

After the Battle of White Horse, Cao's camp was powerless to prevent Yuan Shao's army from crossing the Yellow River.

This situation was expected by Cao Cao as early as Cao Cao, and the difference in strength between the two sides was there, not that Cao Cao wanted to defend the Yellow River defense line, so he could hold it.

After the main force left Baima, they traveled all the way west, joined Yu Ban in Yanjin, and retreated to Guandu together.

After Cao Cao successfully escaped, the various units of Cao's army also suspended the offensive against Yuan's army, and Zang Ba withdrew from Le'an State and returned to Jinan County; Wei Qi retreated to Guanzhong; Xiahoudun also retreated to Aocang, and all the troops retreated to their original defensive lines. The battle situation has basically returned to the initial situation of the campaign, but the losses of the Cao army are not light, although the troops of the famous city can still rush to the war zone in a steady stream, the loss of the player's forces is real and difficult to make up.

For the player, there is only one chance to teleport in the campaign, and after the troops are lost in the war zone, the reinforcements can only walk honestly if they want to reach the battlefield, which obviously requires a process. Some lord players who are far away from the war zone will not actually have a successor army to arrive. The system also gives players another option to replenish troops, that is, to recruit troops in the front line of war in the war zone, the so-called "line of fire recruitment", that is, to recruit troops in the front-line military camp at five times the cost, players who play line of fire recruitment, are all local tyrants with a lot of money, but even if there is a lot of money, the rush to be slaughtered is always unpleasant, and the line of fire recruitment point can always hear angry scolding.

When the main force of Cao's army retreated, Yuan Shao's camp was not idle, and a large number of troops pursued at the end. The pursuers are like hungry wolves, marching in groups, and as soon as they seize the opportunity, they will swarm up and attack the lone Cao army, and when the wolves disperse, only blood and mess are left everywhere.

Yuan Jun's pursuit was not a picnic without risk.

On the side of Cao Cao's camp, a large number of elite troops were arranged, and Xiahou Yuan, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others took turns to attack, and even the special troops of Fengxiang City were repeatedly dispatched. The pursuing troops of Yuan Shao's camp were wiped out many times due to recklessness, and they no longer dared to be as unscrupulous as before.

At the same time, a fire broke out in Yuan Shao's backyard.

A Cao army rode lightly, and at some point had quietly crossed the Yellow River, and they came and went like the wind. Relying on the advantage of speed, they attacked the small strongholds and small units of the Yuan army in all directions, and many of the Yuan army's grain transport units were killed and scattered, and the military rations were burned...... The most recent time they were seen near Liyang, there were several eyewitnesses who said that the light cavalry was continuing northward, heading straight for Tangyin.

The identity of the light cavalry has also been confirmed, it is the flying wing battalion commanded by Zhao Yun!

Yuan Shao hated itchy. Mobilize the troops around the perimeter in an attempt to capture the Flying Wing Battalion, but how easy is it to say?

First of all, the speed of the winged cavalry was too fast, and no unit of the Yuan army could keep up with their speed; Secondly, the flying wing has a super continuous combat capability, and once set an astonishing record of running behind enemy lines for three days and three nights; Third. The flying wing can run and fight more, and the ultra-long range Hercules arrow. and, if necessary, the imposing cavalry charge into battle, capable of both near and far combat, even if trapped, without more than five times the force, there is almost no hope of leaving a flying wing battalion; Finally, the master of the flying wing will be Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun, who is calm, full of courage, and conscientious, he does not slack off and always remains sober. Almost no mistakes can be made.

Therefore, the encirclement and suppression of the Flying Wing Battalion by the Yuan Army was doomed to be unsuccessful.

The Flying Wing Battalion lit fire everywhere behind Yuan Shao, and attacked continuously for two days and one night, and after the main force of the Cao Army basically got rid of the pursuit of the Yuan Army, the Flying Wing Battalion, which had completed its mission, withdrew from the battlefield safely.

Yuan Shao didn't want to let go of the flying wings, this cavalry that came and went like the wind and had excellent combat power made it difficult for him to sleep, and he couldn't tell when the flying wings would mess around behind Yuan Shao. The reason why I say "again" is because it is not the first time that the flying wings have messed around behind Yuan Shao, at least three times, each time it has stirred up Yuan Shao's anger, but he is helpless!

This time, Yuan Shao felt that there was a chance to stay with the flying wings.

The reason is very simple, the flying wings are alone in Hebei!

Now Yuan Shao's strength is strong, and when the whole army is mobilized to attack Xuchang, he is fully capable of blocking the first line of the Yellow River. As long as they don't give Feiyi the opportunity to cross the river, this light horse, which gives Yuan Shao a headache, will not be able to rest and replenish, they will always be in a state of tension, they will not be able to rest, they will always face the pursuit of the attack, they will inevitably weaken until they perish.

In order to leave the flying wing battalion, Yuan Shao did not hesitate to postpone the attack on the main force of Cao's army.

Two days later, the Flying Wing Battalion appeared at a ferry crossing in the plains, and before the pursuers arrived, the Canglan Naval Division suddenly appeared. Feiyi and Canglan joined forces to kill thousands of Yuan troops at the ferry, and the ship was doused with tung oil and burned, and then Feiyi boarded the naval warship and crossed the Yellow River safely. At that time, the player sailors of the Yuan army's camp launched a chase with their boats in pursuit, but the combat power of the Canglan sailors was far beyond their imagination. After sending Feiyi across the river, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai led the sailors to turn around and fought fiercely with the combined sailors of Yuan Shao's camp for three hours, sinking or capturing more than 100 Yuan's fighting ships, and returned with a great victory.

Yuan Shao's plan to encircle and suppress Feiyi was declared bankrupt again.

The Canglan Naval Division then made frequent sorties on the Yellow River, attacking the ferry, burning the warships, and preventing the Yuan army from crossing the river, and they continued to win victories, but they could not change the absolute disadvantage of Cao Cao's camp. The Yuan army has the backing of the four states, and there are a large number of players leading the land, and the ships that are lost and the enemies that are destroyed can be replenished soon.

After the Battle of White Horse, the Battle of Guandu entered a stalemate phase.

Yuan's army continued to attack, igniting the flames of war on the whole line, and Cao's army focused on solid defense.

Cao Jun's camp openly said internally that Yuan's army strength was several times that of Cao's army, and the daily consumption was also several times that of Cao's army, and the longer the time dragged on, the greater Yuan Shao's consumption, and resolutely dragged Yuan Shao to death. But in fact, Ah Niu knew that this was just a pretext, and the real reason was that Cao's army was not strong, so he had to take a defensive position to avoid a sudden collapse of the situation. Cao Cao was good at fighting, and his advisers and generals also knew a lot about the soldiers, and knew that they could not blindly defend to the death, and many times, Cao's army would engage in fierce battles with Yuan's army in local areas to avoid giving people the impression of being beaten everywhere and dampening morale.

The main forces of the two armies were in Guandu, and the confrontation lasted for half a month, and the Japanese fought every day, and there were many fighting generals.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Han Meng, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Zhang Liao, Tai Shici, Zhang Jaw and other famous generals all have excellent performances, and Yan Yan, Bao Chu and other little-known figures have also proved their strength. In the battle of Guandu, the stars will shine and shine.

The most eye-catching figure in this period of time is Yuan Shao's subordinate general Niu Chen.

At the beginning, Niu Chen faced Cao Hong. Niu Chen was powerful, and Cao Hongzhan didn't count and his arms were sore, and he was defeated and retreated.

At that time, Yu Ban plundered the battle for Cao Hong, and when he saw Cao Hong's defeat, he hurriedly stepped forward to respond, and was defeated by Niu Chen.

Yu Ban is a famous general under Cao Cao. One of the five good generals, Yu Ban was defeated, and finally Cao Ying began to pay attention to Niu Chen. Many people are not convinced, you must know that Yu Ban is listed as a good general of the five sons, not because of how brave he is, but because he is good at leading troops, and the famous Qingzhou soldier is Yu Ban.

The next day, Cao Ren went out to meet Niu Chen.

Cao Cao's people were full of talents. There are many capable people, Cao Ren is brave and strategic, although his martial arts are slightly inferior to Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, but he can also rank third, plus Cao Ren is proficient in military affairs, resourceful and wise, and is the first general in the Cao clan in terms of comprehensive strength. Cao Jun has a lot of people. He is very confident in Cao Ren and thinks that Cao Ren will definitely be able to teach Niu Chen a hard lesson. But the ending disappointed them again.

After more than 20 battles, Cao Ren was defeated!

Xiahou Yuan was furious and slapped his horse out of battle, but forty times, Xiahou Yuan was defeated!

Xu Huang came out of the battle, and the lily was defeated!

Cao Ying was shocked. Yuan Ying's morale is great!

In order to save morale, Cao Cao sent Zhang Liao to fight, and Zhang Liao and Niu Chen fought for 200 rounds, but lost!

In the end, it was the tiger idiot Xu Chu who came out. only to stop Niu Chen's winning streak, but Xu Chu could not defeat Niu Chen, and the two sides were tied.

Rao is like this, when Xu Chu came down from the battlefield, he was still treated like a hero, and the admiration and cheers continued. Cao Cao was also glad that if Xu Chu also failed, no one under his account could defeat Scarface Niu Chen, and he would have to ask Ah Niu to send Fengxiang warriors to fight, which Cao Jun was unwilling to accept. Niu Chen, who was originally unknown, almost completed the sweep of Cao Ying's generals.

At this point, Niu Chen has almost defeated the famous general of Cao Ying!

Niu Chen, who has won consecutive battles, has soared rapidly, becoming a well-deserved hero in Yuan Shao's camp, and at the same time becoming a nightmare in Cao Cao's camp, and he has been in the limelight for a while. And Niu Chen's position was also rapidly promoted, and he was promoted from a general to a captain of the Yue Cavalry.

The discussion of Niu Chen's identity is the most enthusiastic topic among players recently.

Even the players who are most familiar with the Three Kingdoms don't know, what kind of character this Niu Chen is, is there such a person in the official history or romance? The players in Yuan Shao's camp spent a lot of effort investigating Niu Chen, trying to find out more information, but found nothing.

At present, the opinion that has been shared by many players is that Niu Chen may be a character in the Silent Heroes series.

The silent hero is no longer a secret and is known to the majority of players.

The wounded little pony posted on the forum, revealing the silent hero information he knew with great joy. In the post, Xiao Ma described in detail how he triggered the quest "Silent Hero No. 9: Filial Ranger" and subdued Bao Zhu, which caused a sensation in the player world.

Brother Pony completed "Silent Hero No. 9: The Filial Ranger", apparently ranking ninth.

In other words, there are at least 9 silent heroes, which makes players extremely longing, which ones are the silent heroes? Where are they now? Do you have any hope of subduing them?

Not long after, Yang Weili, the lord of Shiling City, also stood up and added firewood to the discussion of the silent hero. Yang Willy revealed that he subdued Yan Yan, the fierce general of Xiliang, and ranked fifth among the silent heroes.

Zong Wuyan, who likes to be lively, no longer keeps it secret, she generously pointed out that she subdued Qu Chen, a young general, and ranked second. Looking at the various envy, jealousy and hatred of the players on the forum, Zong Wuyan was very satisfied, but when more and more people were upset about Qu Chen, thinking that Qu Axiao would be subdued by an idle lord, it was a pearl secretly cast, and a flower was inserted in it, Zong Xiaomei closed the post with tears......

Niu Chen has risen like a comet, with terrifying strength and outstanding achievements, but he has been unknown before, and players think that he is one of the silent heroes, but there is some truth in it. In view of the fact that Bao Chu, Yan Yan, Qu Chen and others have been exposed, and the ranking is also very clear to everyone, some players believe that with Niu Chen's prominent table, Xiàn, its ranking should be among the top three, even if it is not the first.

Ah Niu's friends are also discussing, but everyone knows that Niu Chen will definitely not rank third.

Fengxiang has two silent heroes, namely Li Jin, the third-ranked hero of the Cheng clan, and Yue Xi, the son of the seventh-ranked hermit, and Zong Xiaomei still did not break the news very carefully. This is also the reason why the outside world has inferred about the ranking of Niu Chen.

Emperor Wu of Han said: "If he is really a silent hero, he will either be ranked first or fourth." ”

Zhao Long agreed: "He and Li Jin, who ranked third, are inseparable, and Li Jin has many bonuses from Fengxiang City. Niu Chen didn't, so Niu Chen is really likely to be number one. ”

Zong Wuyan thought for a while and said, "My Xiao Chenchen said that the military generals are single-handed, and it is not who has the highest force, and whoever has a greater chance of winning. There are many factors that affect the outcome of heads-up, such as weapons, tactics, personality, style, spirit, body, etc., all of which may affect the outcome of the battle. In the case of little difference in martial arts, it is difficult to have an absolute win or lose, my Xiao Chenchen and Brother Niu's martial arts idiots are both silent heroes, one is second, the other is seventh, and the two have often fought each other recently. There are also mutual winners and losers. ”

Fei Fei reminded: "Brother Niu's generals have a lot of bonuses, so it's normal for Xiao Chenchen not to have an advantage!" ”

"It's not. Xiao Chenchen said, Yue Wu idiot and another silent hero in Fengxiang City, that is, the third-ranked Li Jin, enjoy the same bonus, the difference in force value is two or three points, the two of them are in a civil war, and Yue Xi also has some chance of winning. Just a little less. At their level, it is difficult to see who has the advantage within two hundred moves. Not to mention the winner and loser...... On the battlefield, it is rare to be able to fight lilies, let alone hundreds of rounds, so I think Niu Chen's ranking may not be very high. ”

Xiao Chenchen is a master of the masters, his theory. Naturally, no one will doubt it.

Feifei blinked his eyes and suddenly asked, "Who knows where Niu Chen is sacred?" ”

Everyone was at a loss.

Zong Wuyan pouted: "Go back and ask Brother Niu, if even he doesn't know, I think, let's not bother with that brain." ”

The crowd nodded in goodness. It's not that everyone relies too much on Ah Niu, it's just that everyone doesn't want to do useless work, and the whole world is discussing Niu Chen, but they don't have a clue, so they should take advantage of the situation and die less brain cells.

"Brother Niu has often been invited to the Chinese army's big tent recently, and Cao Cao seems to be ready to take some action."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sighed: "The disparity in strength is huge, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, even if she discusses it all day long, what good way can she do?" Now we are struggling to support, and if we continue like this, the strength of our side will eventually be exhausted by Yuan's side, and by that time, ......"

Emperor Wu of Han's sigh once again turned everyone's attention to worry about the battle situation, and the atmosphere was dull.

After Yuan's army crossed the river, it began to continuously compress Cao's defensive line.

Yuan Shao's main force marched south, forced the official crossing, and indeed as in history, the grain and grass were stored in the black nest. But the problem is that due to the player's intervention, the defenders of the Black Nest are no longer guarded by Chun Yuqiong, who is greedy for cups and misdeeds, as in history, but sent Han Meng, who can fight well. Han Meng in history, is the so-called Hebei No. 1 Middle School Liang, ranking above the four court pillars, with him presiding over the Wuchao, Cao Cao wants to surprise the Wuchao to burn the grain and grass, it is almost impossible!

Cao Jun is at a disadvantage, and his best hope is to surprise the Black Nest, but in the game, this path seems to be difficult to navigate...... Players are thinking hard, does Cao Jun still have a future?

Yuan Jun has already begun to build a mountain of earth, and it is estimated that it will be completed in another five or six days. Once the earth and mountains were built, the Yuan archers could condescend and attack Cao's Dazhai. Cao Cao recently frequently summoned a certain city lord to discuss matters, and it is estimated that it is also related to Tushan. Players are not very worried about this, according to the plot, the earth mountain is built, and Liu Ye makes a thunderbolt car to break it, what everyone thinks is that if the earth mountain is broken, it still can't change Cao Jun's predicament.

Or Zhao Long is more open-minded: "Treat him so much!" I only know that in history it was Cao Cao who won. Although we are now at a disadvantage, it will take a long time for the Yuan army to wear us down, and the Battle of Guandu has lasted for more than a year in history. After such a long time, there is always a turnaround. ”

The next day, the horn of Cao Jundazhai sounded and the war drums beat.

When Yuan Shao heard it in the tent, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious, Cao Jun's movement was a signal to take the initiative. Recently, Cao Jun's desire to attack is not strong, and when Yuan Jun was fighting, he also dragged on for a while before coming out to fight.

Puzzled, Yuan Jun still responded quickly.

The two armies have been fighting for so long, and the procedures are very familiar, so everyone shoots their own positions first. If there is a military general coming out next, it will be a fighting general, and the soldiers at the bottom are very happy to see the fighting general, because it means that they have less risk today; If no one starts a fight, then it can only be a soldier and a horse to cut down, a battle, the casualties are heavy, can you go back by yourself, you can't make your own decisions......

In Cao Ying, a member of the primary school flew out.

The soldiers on both sides breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that they were fighting generals.

The little colonel ran to the center, stopped his horse, and shouted at Yuan Jun's camp: "My lord asks Yuan Gong to answer in front of the array!" ”

shouted several times, but the colonel didn't wait for Yuan Jun to agree, and urged his horse back.

Cao Jun's main formation, Cao Cao slowly came out with a horse whip.

The four generals behind him lined up, namely Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and Li Jin. In terms of personal combat power, these tiger generals are undoubtedly the four strongest in the Cao Jun camp. Seeing this, Yuan Shao knew that Cao Cao had something to say, saying that the battle had been fought until now, and the two had indeed not talked before the battle, Yuan Shao did not want to fall into the prestige, so he ordered Yan Liang, Niu Chen, Yan Yan and Tai Shici, and stepped forward to answer with him.

Twenty paces apart, both sides stopped at the same time.

Cao Cao pointed at Yuan Shao with a whip and said: "Before the Son of Heaven, I played you as a general, why did you rebel now?" ”

Yuan Shao said angrily: "Your name is Han Xiang, but you are actually a Han thief!" Sin is full of heaven, but it is against slander and rebellion! ”

Cao Cao said: "I am now edicting you!" ”

Yuan Shao said: "I beg the thief with my clothes!" ”

The conversation between the two was obviously very unpleasant, and the fight soon began. (To be continued......)
