Chapter 1040 The Battle of Guandu (2)

After the Battle of White Horse, Cao's army was no longer able to stop Yuan Shao's army from crossing the Yellow River.

As Cao Cao expected, the gap in strength between the two sides was there, and it was not just that Cao Cao could defend the Yellow River defense line if he wanted to defend it.

After leaving Baima, the main force traveled westward, met Yu Jin in Yanjin, and retreated to Guandu together.

After Cao Cao successfully escaped from danger, the various troops of the Cao army also stopped their offensive against Yuan army. Zang Ba withdrew from Le'an Kingdom and returned to Jinan County; Wei Ji retreated to Guanzhong; Xiahou Dun also retreated to Ao Cang, and all troops retreated to the original defense line. The battle situation basically returned to the early stage of the battle, but the losses of Cao army were not light. Although the Mingcheng troops could still rush to the war zone continuously, the losses of the player's power were real and difficult to make up.

For players, there is only one opportunity for the battle to teleport. After the troops are lost in the war zone, if reinforcements want to arrive at the battlefield, they can only walk honestly. Obviously, it takes a process. In fact, some lord players far away from the war zone will no longer have successor troops. The system also gives players another option to replenish troops, which is to recruit troops on the war zone. The so-called "fireline recruitment" means recruiting troops in the front-line military camp at five times the price. Players who play with fire recruitment are all rich people with a lot of money, but even if they have more money, being slaughtered is always unhappy. The fire recruitment point can always hear angry scolding.

When the main force of the Cao army retreated, Yuan Shao's camp was not idle, and a large number of troops pursued the troops. The pursuers were like hungry wolves, rushing in groups. Once they got the chance, they flocked to attack the lonely Cao army. When the wolves scattered, only blood and mess were left everywhere.

Yuan Jun’s pursuit was not a picnic without risks.

Cao Cao's camp arranged a large number of elite troops to cut off the rear. Xiahou Yuan, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others took turns to attack, and even the special troops of Fengxiang City were deployed repeatedly. Yuan Shao's camp's pursuit troops were wiped out due to rampant progress many times, 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 light cavalry had quietly crossed the Yellow River at some point, and they came and went like the wind. With their speed advantage, they attacked the small strongholds and small units of Yuan army. Many Yuan army grain transport troops were killed and scattered, and the military food was burned... Last time, they appeared near Liyang, and several witnesses said that the light cavalry was continuing northward and heading straight for Tangyin.

The identity of the Light Cavalry was also confirmed, and it was the Feiyi Camp led by Zhao Yun!

Yuan Shao was so angry that he was itchy. He mobilized the surrounding troops and tried to capture the Feiyi Camp, but how easy it was?

First, the speed of the Flying Wing cavalry was too fast, and no unit of the Yuan army could catch up with their speed; secondly, the Flying Wing had super strong continuous combat capabilities, which had set an amazing record of rushing behind enemy lines for three days and three nights; thirdly, the Flying Wing could run and fight even more, with a super long range of strong arrows. As well as the magnificent cavalry with a magnificent rifle, when necessary, they could fight far and close combat. Even if trapped, there was no more than five times the strength of the Flying Wing camp. Finally, the main general of the Flying Wing was Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun, who was calm, brave and conscientious, never slacked off and always kept awake. He would hardly make mistakes.

Therefore, the Yuan army's encirclement and suppression of Feiyi Camp was destined to be impossible to succeed.

The Feiyi Camp ignited everywhere behind Yuan Shao and rushed for two days and one night. After the main force of Cao's army basically got rid of Yuan's pursuit, the Feiyi Camp, which completed its mission, safely withdrew from the battlefield.

Yuan Shao didn't want to let Feiyi go. This cavalry that came and went like the wind and had a great combat power made him unable to sleep or eat. He couldn't guarantee that Feiyi would mess around behind Yuan Shao again. The reason why he said "again" is because Feiyi has been in trouble behind Yuan Shao. It was not the first time that Feiyi has been in trouble behind Yuan Shao. At least three times, each time it made Yuan Shao angry, but he was helpless!

This time, Yuan Shao felt that he had the opportunity to stay Feiyi.

The reason is very simple, Feiyi is alone in Hebei!

Now Yuan Shao is strong, and when the entire army mobilized to attack Xuchang, he was fully capable of blocking the front line of the Yellow River. As long as Feiyi was not given the opportunity to cross the river, this light cavalry that gave Yuan Shao a great headache would not be able to get rest and supplies. They were always in a state of tension and could not get rest and faced pursuit at all times. They would inevitably weaken until they perish.

In order to keep the Feiyi Camp, Yuan Shao did not hesitate to temporarily suspend the attack on the main force of Cao's army.

Two days later, the Feiyi Camp appeared at a ferry in the plains. Before the pursuers arrived, Canglan Navy suddenly appeared. Feiyi and Canglan joined forces to kill thousands of Yuan troops at the ferry, and the ship was poured with tung oil and burned. Then, Feiyi boarded the navy warship and crossed the Yellow River safely. At that time, the player navy in the Yuan army camp was lying on the ship and launched a pursuit. Unexpectedly, the Canglan Navy's combat power was far beyond their imagination. After sending Feiyi across the river, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai led the navy to turn around and fight fiercely with Yuan Shao's camp for three hours, sinking or capturing more than 100 Yuan army combat ships, and returned with great victory.

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

The Canglan Navy then frequently attacked the Yellow River, attacking the ferry, burning warships, and obstructing Yuan's army from crossing the river. They continued to win, but they could not change the absolute disadvantage of Cao Cao's camp. The Yuan army was backed by four states and a large number of players' territory produced. The few ships and eliminated enemies could be supplemented soon.

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

Yuan's army continued to attack and started wars across the line, while Cao's army focused on solid defense.

The Cao army camp publicly stated that the Yuan army's strength was several times that of Cao's army, and the daily consumption was several times that of Cao's army. The longer the time was delayed, the greater the consumption of Yuan Shao, and he resolutely dragged Yuan Shao to death. But in fact, A Niu knew that this was just an excuse. The real reason was that Cao's army was not strong enough, so he could only take a defensive stance to prevent the situation from suddenly collapsing. Cao Cao was good at fighting, and his advisers and generals under the tent knew the army and knew that they could not defend the enemy blindly. Many times, the Cao army would fight fiercely with the Yuan army in some areas to avoid leaving people with the impression of being beaten everywhere and damaging morale.

The main forces of the two armies were in Guandu, and they had a confrontation for half a month and fought every day, with many fighting generals among them.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Han Meng, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Zhang Liao, Tai Shi Ci, Zhang He and other famous generals all performed well. Yan Yan, Bao Chu and other unfamous figures also proved their strength. In the Battle of Guandu, the general star Yuyu shone with glory.

The most eye-catching figure during this period is Niu Chen, the general under Yuan Shao.

At first, Niu Chen faced Cao Hong. Niu Chen was very powerful, and Cao Hong's arms were sore and numb that he lost to retreat.

At that time, Yu Jin plundered Cao Hong. Seeing that Cao Hong was defeated, he hurried forward to respond and was defeated by Niu Chen again.

Yu Jin was a famous general under Cao Cao's command. One of the five good generals. Yu Jin was defeated, and finally Cao's camp began to pay attention to Niu Chen. Many people were not convinced. You should know that Yu Jin was ranked as the five good generals because he was so brave, but because he was good at leading troops. The famous Qingzhou military commander Yu Jin was.

The next day, Cao Ren came out to fight against Niu Chen.

Cao Cao's clan members were full of talents. There were many talented people. Cao Ren was brave and resourceful. Although his martial arts were slightly inferior to Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun, he was also ranked third. In addition, Cao Ren was proficient in military affairs, resourceful and wise, and was the top general in the Cao clan with comprehensive strength. Many people in the Cao army were very confident in Cao Ren and believed that Cao Ren would definitely teach Niu Chen a severe lesson. But the ending disappointed them again.

After more than twenty rounds of battle, Cao Ren was defeated!

Xiahou Yuan was furious and slapped his horse out of the battle. After only forty rounds, Xiahou Yuan was defeated!

Xu Huang came out of the battle, and Lily lost!

Cao Ying was shocked. Yuan Ying was very motivated!

In order to restore morale, Cao Cao sent Zhang Liao to fight. Zhang Liao fought with Niu Chen for two hundred rounds and was defeated!

In the end, it was the tiger snob Xu Chu who took action, which stopped Niu Chen from winning streaks, but Xu Chu could not defeat Niu Chen, and both sides tied.

Even so, when Xu Chu came down from the battlefield, he was treated like a hero, and he kept admiring and cheering. Cao Cao was also very glad that if Xu Chu also failed, no one in his tent could defeat Niu Chen, and he would have to invite A Niu to send Fengxiang warriors to fight, which was something that Cao's army would not want to accept. Niu Chen, who was originally unknown, almost completed the sweep of the generals of Cao's camp.

At this point, Niu Chen almost defeated the famous general of Cao's camp!

Niu Chen, who won consecutive victories, quickly soared his fame, becoming a well-deserved hero in Yuan Shao's camp, and also became a nightmare in Cao Cao's camp, and was in the limelight. Niu Chen's position was also rapidly promoted from Ya to Yueqi Captain.

Discussion on Niu Chen's identity has been the most passionate topic among players recently.

Even the player who is most familiar with the Three Kingdoms does not know who Niu Chen is? Is there such a person in the official history or legend? Players from Yuan Shao's camp spent a lot of effort to investigate Niu Chen and tried to discover more information, but found nothing.

The current view that has been recognized by many players is that Niu Chen may be a character in the Silent Hero series.

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

Wushu Xiaoma Ge posted on the forum and disclosed the information about the silent hero he knew with an extremely joyful mood. In the post, Xiaoma Ge described in detail how he triggered the task "Silent Heroes Nine: The Filial Piety Ranger" and the process of conquering Bao's release caused a sensation in the player world. Since the appearance of this post, speculation and discussion about the silent hero have not cooled down so far.

Wushu Xiaoma Ge completed "Silent Heroes Ninth: The Filial Piety Ranger", and it was obvious that Bao Shu ranked ninth.

In other words, there are at least 9 silent heroes, which makes players extremely long for you. Who are the silent heroes? Where are they now? Do they have hope to conquer them?

Not long after, Shiling City Lord Yang Weili also stood up and added a handful of firewood to the discussion of the Silent Hero. Yang Weili revealed that he had conquered the Western Liang general Yan Yan and ranked fifth among the Silent Heroes.

Zong Wuyan, who likes the lively, no longer keeps it secret. She generously pointed out that she had subdued Qu A's young player Qu Chen, ranking second. Looking at the various envy, jealousy and hatred of players on the forum, Zong Wuyan felt very satisfied. However, when more and more people were talking about Qu Chen, they believed that Qu A's young player was subdued by an idle lord, and it was a pearl that was thrown into something, and a flower was inserted on that, Zong Xiaomei closed the post with tears...

Niu Chen rose like a comedian, with terrifying strength and outstanding military achievements, but he was unknown before. It makes sense for players to think that he is among the silent heroes. Given that Bao Chu, Yan Yan, Qu Chen and others have been exposed, everyone is very clear about the ranking. Some players believe that with Niu Chen's outstanding performance, even if he is not the first, he should be among the top three.

Aniu’s friends are also discussing it, but as we all know, Niu Chen will definitely not rank third.

Fengxiang has two silent heroes, Li Jin, the third-ranked Cheng hero, and Yue Xi, the seventh-ranked hermit son. Zong Xiaomei still has no news in a very conscientious way. This is also the reason why the outside world has made incorrect inferences about Niu Chen's ranking.

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

Zhao Long agreed: "He and Li Jin, who ranked third, are hard to tell the winner. Li Jin has many bonuses from Fengxiang City. Niu Chen does not, so Niu Chen is really likely to rank first."

Zong Wuyan thought for a while and said, "My Xiao Chenchen said that the fight against the generals is not the one who has the highest force, who has the greater chance of winning. There are many factors that affect the outcome of the one-on-one challenge, such as weapons, tactics, personality, style, spirit, physical strength, etc., which may affect the outcome of the battle. When the martial arts are not much different, it is difficult to have an absolute win or loss. The martial arts fanatics of my Xiao Chenchen and the Niu Ge family are both silent heroes, one ranks second and the other ranks seventh. The two have often fought each other recently. They also have a win or loss."

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

"No. Xiao Chenchen said that Yue Wuchi and another silent hero in Fengxiang City, Li Jin, who is ranked third, enjoy the same bonus, with a difference in martial arts value of two or three points. When they fought in civil war, Yue Xi also had some wins. It was just a little less. At their level, it was difficult to tell who had an advantage within two hundred moves. Not to mention the winner... On the battlefield, it is rare 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 among the masters, so no one will doubt his theory.

Feifei blinked her eyes and suddenly asked, "Who knows who sacred Niu Chen is?"

Everyone was confused.

Zong Wuyan pouted and said, "Let me ask Brother Niu. If he doesn't even know, I think we shouldn't spend that brain."

Everyone nodded and praised him for good. It was not that everyone was too dependent on A Niu, but everyone didn't want to do useless work. The whole world was discussing Niu Chen, but they had no idea. They still followed the trend and killed less brain cells.

"Brother Niu has been invited to the Central Army tent to discuss matters recently, and Cao Cao seems to be ready to take some action."

Emperor Wu of Han sighed: "The strength is very different, and it is hard to cook without rice. Even if you discuss it all day long, what good can you do? Now you are trying to support it. If this continues, our strength will eventually be consumed by Yuan Jun. By then..."

Emperor Wu of Han's sigh made everyone's attention turn to their worries about the battle situation again, and the atmosphere was dull.

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

Yuan Shao's main force went south in large numbers, and his troops forced Guandu, which was indeed the same as in history, garrisoned Wuchao. But the problem is that due to the intervention of players, Wuchao's guards were no longer guarded by Chunyu Qiong, who was greedy for trouble, but sent Han Meng, who was good at fighting. Han Meng in history was the so-called Hebei Zhongliang, and was ranked above the four pillars. With him in charge of Wuchao, it was almost impossible for Cao Cao to attack Wuchao and burn the food and grass!

Cao's army is at a disadvantage, and its biggest hope is to attack Wuchao, but in the game, this road seems difficult to understand... Players are thinking hard, does Cao's army still have a future?

Yuan’s army has begun to build a dirt mountain, which is estimated to be built in five or six days. Once the dirt mountain is built, the Yuan army’s archer can stand tall and attack the Cao army’s village. Cao Cao recently called a city lord to discuss matters, which is probably related to the dirt mountain. Players are not very worried about this. According to the plot, the dirt mountain is built and Liu Ye will build a thunderbolt chariot to break it. Everyone thinks that if the dirt mountain is broken, it will still not change the dirt mountain.

Zhao Long is still more open-minded: "No matter how many of him! I only know that Cao Cao won in history. Although we are at a disadvantage now, it will take a long time for Yuan Jun to destroy us. In history, the Guandu Battle lasted for more than a year. For such a long time, there will always be a turning point."

The next day, the horn of Cao's army's village was sounded and the war drums were beating.

When Yuan Shao heard it in the tent, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. The Cao army was going to take the initiative to attack. Recently, Cao's army was not strong in attacking. When Yuan's army fought, he delayed for a while before coming out to fight. What happened today?

After being puzzled, Yuan Jun responded quickly.

The two armies have been fighting for so long, and the procedures are very familiar. Everyone first shoots their own positions. Next, if there is a general, it is a general. The soldiers at the bottom are happy to see the general, because that means they have fewer risks today. If no one initiates a general, they can only produce a group of troops and horses to cut each other. After a battle, the casualties will be severe. Can you go back by yourself? You can't decide on it yourself...

In Cao's camp, a small school came out from the horse.

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

The school ran to the center, stopped the horse, and shouted at the Yuan army camp: "My lord asked Yuan Gong to answer in front of the formation!"

After shouting several times, the junior high school urged the horse back without waiting for Yuan Jun to agree.

Cao Cao was in the main formation, and Cao Cao slowly came out with a horse whip.

The four generals behind him were 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 army camp. Seeing this, Yuan Shao knew that Cao Cao had something to say. After all, the two of them had never talked in front of the formation until now. Yuan Shao did not want to lose his might, so he called out Yan Liang, Niu Chen, Yan Yan and Taishi Ci, and followed him to answer.

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

Cao Cao pointed at Yuan Shao with a whip and said, "I will report you as the general before the emperor. Why are you plotting a rebellion now?"

Yuan Shao said angrily: "You are called the Prime Minister of Han, but you are actually a traitor of Han! The sins are so great that you are falsely accusing people of rebellion!"

Cao Cao said: "I am now obeying the order to punish you!"

Yuan Shao said: "I am wearing an edict to fight against the thief!"

The conversation between the two was obviously very unpleasant and started to fight soon. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
