Chapter 433 Invulnerable
In fact, when he killed Liu Yu this time, Cao Cao had already thought that Liu He would come to retaliate, so he still made some preparations.
He knew that the all-out war between himself and Liu He would inevitably break out sooner or later. In this case, it would be better to break out sooner than later. Taking advantage of the current chaos in the world and when Liu He was going to divide his troops to guard Jingzhou, Hanzhong and Lujiang, he led the main force of the army to fight with Liu He. Liu He fought decisively.
In the first period of time when Qingzhou was pacified, Cao Cao got tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Later, when he pacified Xuzhou, he won the allegiance of the Taishan bandits, and got nearly 10 people. 10 people were transferred to Xudu, plus the original 5 people stationed, a total of 15 people guarding Xudu, he believed that even if he couldn't hold on, Liu He would have no choice but to retreat in the end.
Of course, Cao Cao would never just wait to die like this. He would take the initiative to attack and formulate various strategies to defeat them. Although Liu He's army was large (30 in number), they were scattered among each other after all. He only had to seize the opportunity , Breaking through each of them will definitely cause a major blow to it.
According to the news from various quarters, the Hebei army is the most powerful, with [-] soldiers, and there are successive reinforcements from Youzhou. It is almost impossible to defeat it in one fell swoop, so Cao Cao did not choose this army as the target, but The target is the Zhangxiu Group, which is the closest to Xudu, the biggest threat to Xudu, and the least number of people.
This time, in order to eliminate Zhang Xiu's team, Cao Cao gathered 5 troops at once. Although the last time he besieged Wancheng was also [-] people, and he suffered a disastrous defeat, it was because Cao Cao fell into Jia Xu's plan to surrender. If they were to besiege head-on, Wancheng would have been captured long ago, but now they are fighting in the field, Zhang Xiujun has no protection from the city wall, if they encounter it head-on, they will definitely be killed without leaving any behind.
"Lord, according to reports from spies, Zhang Xiu's army has arrived fifty miles south of Kunyang City, and has been camping there for most of the day. It is still digging trenches, and it seems that it wants to hold on."
"I see." Cao Cao nodded after listening to Lu Qian's report, "It seems that the other party is not an aggressive person, and he intends to stick to it and wait to join Liu He's army. Hehe, it's a good idea, but how can I Can make you so proud?"
"Where is Liu He's army now? Although Cao Cao has made a decision, he is not impatient. Instead, he calmly analyzes it so as to be safe.
"Reporting to my lord, the vanguard of Liu He's army has just arrived in Jiyang, and it is still nearly three hundred miles away from Kunyang."
"It's so fast. It's only been a long time, and we've already reached Jiyang." Cao Cao frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "It seems that Liu He really can't take it lightly, but no matter how fast he runs, he can't wait." They can't save Zhang Xiu's team."
Cao Cao smiled coldly, remembering the scene where his nephew was killed, and then ordered the army to march immediately, making sure to wipe out Zhang Xiu's team before Liu He arrived.
Although he verbally admitted that Dian Wei was worth far more than his son and nephew, but in his heart, Cao Cao felt the most distressed of course for his son, especially his eldest son Cao Ang, who he had worked so hard to cultivate for more than ten years. And it has been cultivated as a successor, how much energy has been spent in it?
Under Cao Cao's strict order, [-] soldiers accelerated their march and arrived outside Zhang Xiu's barracks in just one day.
However, after arriving outside the barracks, Cao Cao and his soldiers gasped suddenly, because it was only one day since the spies reported back, and the barracks had been built like an iron barrel, which was impeccable.
There were piles of earth hills piled up inside the camp, and there were archers patrolling on the earth hills. These archers all had longbows on their shoulders, and were on guard. There are still enemy soldiers lurking in the ditch. These soldiers hold bows, arrows and swords. Their own cavalry cannot pass through. If they want the cavalry to pass, they must order the infantry to fill up the first trench first. They will be sniped by the opponent's long-range weapons first, and then they will be fiercely resisted by the opponent's infantry.
In fact, if this is all it is, it will be fine if you lose some infantry, but there is a secretly connected passage between the second trench and the third trench. Once the first trench is lost, they can leave a few soldiers to stand firm The second trench, and then ordered the main force to retreat to the third trench, repeating the previous procedure...
In this case, even if one's own side can capture the opponent's camp, it is estimated that they will have to pay a heavy price.
Cao Cao's face was so gloomy that he could drip water. He spent a lot of energy and painstaking efforts to destroy Zhang Xiu's team first. Going out to fight in the camp, you can definitely hold on until Liu He's main force arrives.
"Now it seems that there is only one way, pass my order, and the whole army will retreat immediately." Cao Cao hoped that Zhang Xiu would not be able to hold back, and lead the army to chase and kill him. Then he could calmly arrange and teach Zhang Xiu a lesson. If you're lucky, you might even kill Zhang Xiu.
In the camp, on top of the dirt hill, Zhang Xiu watched Cao Cao retreat helplessly, smiled coldly in his heart, and then ordered: "Pass my order, the cavalry team gathers, and follow me to chase and kill Cao Cao. This time, he will definitely come and go. .”
At this time, Jia Xu said: "General, it is not appropriate to pursue and kill at this time. This is obviously a conspiracy by Cao Cao. He retreated on purpose and let us lead the army to pursue."
However, Zhang Xiu rarely obeyed. He shook his head and said with a smile, "The old thief Cao Cao saw that our army was heavily defended. It was like a dog biting a hedgehog. He had no choice but to retreat. Is there any doubt about that? I Now leading the army to hunt him down, he will naturally be caught off guard, how can I let go of such an opportunity?"
Then Zhang Xiu led the army to hunt down Cao Cao's team.
Zhang Xiu had just led his army for more than ten miles when he saw Cao Cao's army. Without any hesitation, he immediately led his army to kill it.
But just as Zhang Xiu rushed in, he saw a general blocking his way, and shouted loudly: "Zhang Xiuxiu go, I, Cao Ren, have been waiting for a long time."
At the same time, on his left is Cao Hong, on the right is Le Jin, and behind him is Cao Chun. The four will lead the army to surround Zhang Xiu's army.
"Zhang Xiuxiu go, you fell into my lord's trick today, you should obediently dismount and surrender." Shouts came from everywhere, which made Zhang Xiu feel even more flustered, not daring to fight, and hurriedly led the army to retreat.
"Oh, I really regret that I didn't listen to Wen Hezhi's persuasion, which led to such a defeat. What face would I have to go to see the lord again?" Zhang Xiu, with a face full of remorse, desperately broke out of the siege, and fled back to the camp.
