Chapter 66 Attack
Originally, Cao Cao planned to burn the grain and go back, because based on his understanding of Yuan Shao, he had almost guessed that Yuan Shao would definitely send troops to attack Guandu after learning that he dared to attack the grain and grass.
Therefore, once the purpose of burning food is achieved, the first thing he has to do is to return to Cao Hong's aid.
But now, Cao Cao suddenly had a new idea.
"Ziyuan, how effective are my five thousand Qingqi compared to Yuan Shao's Qingqi?"
Cao Cao found Xu You who was following him on horseback, pointed at the soldiers of Cao's army who were killing Chun Yuqiong's men and asked.
"The soldiers under Meng De's command, even if they are cavalry, are one to ten. Sergeant Yuan Shao lacks real battle training. In addition, he has already marched for forty miles. If Meng De wants to annihilate all these reinforcements here, there is no way.
Difficult, as long as you have confidence in the troops left in Guandu, this will definitely be a very big blow to Yuan Shao!"
Xu You naturally didn't dare to make big claims at this time. He felt that his analysis had been quite cautious. Cao Cao's cavalry was indeed powerful. This was what he had seen with his own eyes.
"Send the order! I won't go back to Guandu for now, but watch Yuan Shao's army rations and baggage burn down here. Anyone who beheads Chun Yuqiong, the general who transports the grain here, will be rewarded heavily! Anyone who beheads the reinforcement general will be rewarded heavily!"
These words spread among Cao Jun's army at an extremely fast speed. The eyes of Cao Jun's officers and soldiers who heard this were all wide-eyed. They were originally fighting and leaving, but after hearing this order, they immediately refused to retreat.
, formed a formation and rushed inside to kill.
In the dark night, the goal of Cao's soldiers was very clear, which was to find Chunyu Qiong and kill him.
At this time, Chunyu Qiong naturally did not know that he had missed the best opportunity to escape. He was waiting for reinforcements so that he could show Yuan Shao that he had tried his best through the generals of the reinforcements.
He had already thought about it. When the reinforcements arrived, he would rush out immediately. Cao Jun would almost have to retreat by then. It didn't matter if he had responsibilities. If you don't die, you will eventually come forward, right?
But for some reason, Cao Jun, who should have retreated immediately after setting the fire, suddenly turned around and came back to fight.
Aren't Yuan Shao's 10,000 men and horses transporting grain incapable of fighting to begin with? They had gone through a lot of fighting before, and they were all reduced to rubbish. How can they still have some combat effectiveness now?
Once again, Cao's army was like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep. Yuan Shao's army had no fighting power except crying for father and mother.
Chunyu Qiong was completely stunned this time. After being stunned for a moment, he felt a chill running down his spine, because this time Cao Jun's purpose was clearer than last time, which was to kill people. A very bad thought arose in his heart.
Having a premonition, he immediately ordered his cronies to remove their flags and start a breakout.
But now that I react, it's obviously too late.
At this moment, the advantage of Cao Cao's army has been fully revealed, because this time Cao Cao led few soldiers but many generals. At this time, almost every general was followed by one or two hundred of his cronies, who were all over the battlefield looking for Chunyu Qiong.
.
Le Jin and Yu Jin were two of these generals. The two had cooperated many times before to defeat Yuan Shao's attacks in Guandu. Although they did not have Guan Yu's feat of killing Hebei fierce general Yan Liang as soon as he arrived in Cao's army, they were both large and small.
His achievements are countless.
Just less than a month ago, the two of them made great achievements together.
At that time, Le Jin and Yu Jin led 5,000 infantry and also took advantage of the night to attack one of Yuan Shao's camps.
Attack from Yuanhe River in the southwest of Yanjin, directly cross the river to attack Huojia. They burned hundreds of camps of Yuan Shao's army, beheaded and captured thousands of Yuan Shao's soldiers each, including more than 20 of Yuan Shao's generals He Mao and Wang Mo.
people, and then returned to Cao Jun's camp safe and sound.
Neither of them are members of Cao Cao's army who have a nepotistic relationship with Cao Cao, so they are quite aware of worries. Whenever they can make meritorious deeds, they will never be vague, and they are not afraid of death.
At this time, Le Jin had just found a man who looked like a general. After knocking him down with the barrel of a gun, he put the tip of the gun against his throat and asked: "Where is Chunyu Qiong? I told you to leave your whole body!"
"
People who are used to seeing life and death on the battlefield naturally know how important it is to leave a whole body, or to die happily. Under such pressure, this deputy general in Yuan Shao's army even forgot to lie.
"He went south, with a few soldiers at his side, presumably to break out of the encirclement!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Le Jin applied a little force to the tip of his spear, fulfilling his promise. The deputy general lost his life before he could even react.
"Wen Ze, this credit belongs to us!"
He waved to Yu Jin who was beside him, and Le Jin clamped his horse's belly under his arms and ran towards the south.
Yu Jin smiled slightly and called his own soldiers to follow the old man.
Le Jinsheng was plain in appearance and short in stature. When he first joined Cao Cao, he was just a doorman outside Cao Cao's accounts.
But he was brave and not afraid of death, and his courage was much stronger than that of ordinary generals. He finally impressed Cao Cao with his performance in several battles, and only then did he achieve his current status.
Whether he was fighting against Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu or Liu Bei, Le Jin was the one who was very active in the battle. After every battle, his official position would be greatly promoted. Now he is already the leader of Cao Cao's army.
The rank of lieutenant.
To put it in Yu Jin's heart, if you follow Le Jin, you will definitely have meat to eat. His sense of hunger and thirst on the battlefield is not something that ordinary people can match.
Sure enough, Le Jin saw Yuan Shaojun's general and killed him. Before killing him, he asked Chun Yuqiong where he was going. He chased Chun Yuqiong in the direction of his escape. Finally, less than half an hour later, he discovered that he was leading a small group of troops.
A general who struggled to break out of the encirclement did not even raise a flag, and was followed by cavalry. His identity was naturally obvious.
"Hey! Chunyu Qiong!"
Without saying a word, Le Jin led Yu Jin and their soldiers around to the back of Chun Yuqiong who was concentrating on breaking out of the encirclement. Le Jin shouted loudly after getting close.
Chun Yuqiong was concentrating on breaking out of the encirclement when someone behind her suddenly shouted her name, and she subconsciously turned around.
It didn't matter if he turned around, Le Jin had been waiting for this moment, and the spear in his hand went straight towards Chun Yuqiong's face.
