Chapter 12 The Battle of Wuchao
"Cao Cao!"
Although he was prepared in his heart, Yuan Shang's heart still swayed for a moment, and he could not recover from peace for a long time.
The number one figure in the late Eastern Han Dynasty!
The slightly old man at the foot of the mountain, who is ordinary in appearance, and can even be said to be mediocre, is actually Cao Cao?
The appearance of this generation of heroes is really a bit shabby. To be honest, Yuan Shang felt that standing next to him was obviously more than hundreds of sets better than him.
What a pity, people should not behave like appearance.
If he had not traveled back in time, in a few years, the hero at the foot of the mountain would defeat Yuan Shao with almost no suspense. Then he pacified the four prefectures, went deep into the north of the border, went straight to Liaodong, unified the northern part of China, achieved hegemony, and became the stone caster who laid the foundation for the founding of the country in Cao Wei. After his death, he was posthumously named Emperor Wu of Wei, and was famous for his eternal history.
But who could have imagined that Cao Cao, who was called the unparalleled hero, was now standing at the foot of the mountain, smiling at his kindness, and calling himself a "little general".
Things in the world are unpredictable...
It is obvious that Yuan Shang was not the only one who was shocked by Cao Cao's reputation. The Yuan soldiers who were secretly ambushes on both sides of Shan Li all looked pale after hearing Cao Cao's name, and they looked at each other uneasyly. The sound of shaking flags and shouting was obviously much smaller than before, and their momentum was obviously not as good as before.
Yuan Shang suddenly realized that Cao Cao was suppressing his morale!
A treacherous hero is worthy of being a treacherous hero. He is free and chats with him for nothing, and he is happy to ask for his name. Do you think Cao Cao wants to greet you?
The reason why Cao Cao and Yuan Shang exchanged their names was nothing more than reporting their names during chatting and laughing, which shocked Yuan's soldiers and made their morale weak, and he could quickly fight and deal with Yuan's army.
What a cunning old dog.
After reporting the name, Cao Cao grinned suddenly as if nothing had happened and continued, "Little General, since I have reported the name, why didn't the young general respond? Just a name, why should I be stingy?"
Yuan Shang smiled casually and pointed out Cao Cao: "Cao Sikong just wants to use his momentum to shock our army. Since your goal has been achieved, why bother asking me for my name in one go? There is a mediocre person. Even if I report the name, Cao Sikong may not be able to take it to my heart. Why should I humiliate myself... I won't tell you today, what can the old guy do to me?"
Cao Cao seemed to be fine, and Xu Chu was angry again on the side and shouted angrily: "Little beast, Sikong talks to you, open your mouth and put it clean!"
Cao Cao raised his hand to stop Xu Chu, nodded in appreciation, slowly stroked his long beard, and said slowly: "Young people are not anxious or impatient. They know Gu's intentions and know how to be introverted and sharp. They can also speak inspiration in their words... It's very rare. If it weren't for the urgent matter today, Gu might as well discuss with you slowly. Unfortunately, it's a big deal to do the overall situation and you will be able to take your life quickly."
Yuan Shang's expression remained unchanged when he heard this, but his heart was a little confused.
Cao Cao held the whip in his hand and pointed at Yuan Shang from afar. Suddenly, he changed his mind and said, "Your suspicious plan and the plan of disagreement may be able to deceive Zhang Liao and Xu Chu, but it did not work in front of Cao... However, before Cao attacked the mountain, there was still another question to ask you, you are willing to set fire to the heavy land of Wuchao Nair and other granaries. What is the purpose? I wonder if the young general can teach me?"
Yuan Shang was lazy and argued with Cao Cao, and waved his head, saying disdain: "We have a lot of food and grass, and we can't finish it. I'm afraid that the soldiers will die of eating too much. Isn't it okay to burn grain and loosen the belt?"
The generals of Cao's army, led by Xu Chu, were so angry that they gritted their teeth. Who is this kid? It's really unreasonable to speak so much. When did such a disaster happen to Yuan's army? I really want someone to cut him alive.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and sneered and said, "Since you are unwilling to say it, why don't you remind you? You burn Wuchao food and grass, on the surface, to arrange doubts and doubt our army, but in fact, it just wanted the Yuan army camp to see the black smoke rising up, and to send troops to rescue quickly. How could you hide it from Cao's eyes by just saying the east and attacking the west?"
Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Cao Cao was really a slut. In front of the two armies, he shook out all the strategies he set up like a bamboo tube, just to suppress his morale again. Is he still there?
At such an old age, he doesn't want to be ashamed.
Yuan Shang's eyes rolled slightly, then he clasped his fists at Cao Cao from afar, and said with a wicked smile: "Cao Sikong is indeed wise and has a sharp eye, which makes me admire him very much. You are indeed old and stronger, old and cunning, old and strong, old and never die..."
Cao Cao's expression changed suddenly when he heard this, and his face was so gloomy that it made people feel heartbroken.
The reason is the last word that Yuan Shangshi used when he said it.
Old but not dead... What is it that old but not dead? Old but not dead is a thief. This little beast calls himself a traitor...
With a whip in his hand, Cao Cao slowly spit out two words to the generals behind him.
"Kill the enemy."
"Kill--!"
A general commander and even thousands of troops were launched every once in a while. As Cao Cao's order was issued, the infantry of the Cao army was instantly divided into two parts, one attacked the left and the other attacked the right, heavy armor in front and infantry in the back, and they pushed towards the mountain in a strict and tidy manner without losing their momentum.
Here comes!
Yuan Shang muttered to himself.
Since I came, I would be at ease. Since I had to calculate that this scene would happen sooner or later, I would have had a fight with him with all my might. Who would laugh at the end? It was still unknown.
With his body straightened, Yuan Shang said loudly to the soldiers behind him: "Our army has a great advantage! Brothers, don't be afraid, drive away these robbers who want to steal our food!"
When he finished speaking, Guo Yuan behind Yuan Shang waved the flag in his hand and shouted loudly: "Boundist, shoot the arrow!"
"Swish swish swish swish--!"
A brisk rain of arrows swept down the hillside, and first came to the group of Cao soldiers who were rushing up the mountain in the front row.
However, the Cao army's combat quality was extremely high, and the fall of the front row soldiers could not affect the fighting spirit of the rear army at all. In just a moment, the soldiers in the rear were seen trampling on the corpses of the front army without any concern and rushing forward.
The Cao army's attack speed was extremely fast. After only two rounds of arrows were released, the Yuan army on the mountain was seen rushing to the Yuan army. In an instant, close troops were connected. The soldiers on both sides fought back and forth in a group on the mountain.
Yuan Shang stood above Shan Li, protected by Guo Yuan. Seeing the fierce battle between the two armies on Shan Li, Yuan Shang couldn't help but feel a little heavy in his heart.
The difference in combat power is too big.
Cao's army attacked the mountain, while Yuan's army took advantage of the situation to defend. Although under such conditions, Yuan's army still fought and retreated, and head-on conflicts were almost impossible to resist the enemy.
If this continues, I am afraid that Yuan Jun on Shanli will be taken over by Cao Jun in a short while.
From this perspective, if you want to fight with Cao's army, Chunyu Qiong must lead the cavalry and invaders to attack head-on, and the two attacks are the ones.
While Yuan Shang was thinking, he suddenly heard a roar in front of Wuchao, but he saw that Wuchao camp, which was still as if no one had just happened, suddenly rushed out of many cavalry troops, with one man in the head, looking like a bull, waving the big sword in his hand, and swaying his claws to go straight to Cao Cao to kill.
However, Chunyu Qiong led several deputy generals, including Zhao Rui, Han Juzi, Lu Weihuang, etc., to lead troops out.
Cao Cao, who was standing in the battle of Shanxiaguan, was surprised when he saw this and said strangely: "Oh? I don't expect that there are ambushers buried in Wuchao? I want to attack our army while I am attacking the mountain... Haha, unexpectedly, Cao still smiled slightly and looked at the little friend on the mountain."
Speaking of this, Cao Cao glanced at Yuan Shang on Shan Li indifferently, and then ordered the generals: "Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Yu Jin."
"Here!" the three of them answered at the same time.
"I ordered the three of you to lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to break through the cavalry that rushed out of Wuchao, and then rushed into the village to burn grain, fight quickly and decide without leaving any living mouths."
"promise!"
He looked at Xu Chu behind him calmly, and a smile appeared on Cao Cao's lips: "Zhongkang."
Xu Chu hurriedly rushed forward: "Lord! Xu Chu is here!"
Cao Cao pointed at Yuan Shang on the mountain with his hand and smiled: "Zhongkang, the white-armored young general on the mountain is quite interested. Can Zhongkang relieve Gu's worries?"
