Three Kingdoms: Fusion of Entries, Change of Destiny

Chapter 70 The "starving" Qingzhou Army

While Liu Xiang's soldiers were still running in chaos, Zhao Yun had already led the Flying Dragon Cavalry to break through the gate and cross the shallow trench.

Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan drew their bows and arrows, and every arrow hit its target, shooting down the archers on the watchtower one after another.

In a flash, they broke through the camp outpost and entered the main camp.

In the camp, there were still many Yuan army soldiers who were unwilling to give up their jobs.

Seeing this, Xia Houlan couldn't help but shout, "Still eating? I'm here to take you away!!"

"what!!!"

"Cao's army is coming in!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"

"Bang bang bang!!!"

Shouts and the sound of horns rang out in the camp, and people kept pouring out of the military tents.

Some were furious, some were horrified, and some were confused.

"Why are Cao's troops here?"

"How dare Cao's army come?!"

The three thousand cavalry were just a prelude.

At this moment, outside Liu Xiang’s camp, there were still 25,000 hungry and thirsty Qingzhou soldiers with ferocious faces!
At the center of the Qingzhou Army, there was a large black banner with an elegant Chinese character "Cao" embroidered on it.

But the commander of the Qingzhou army was not Cao Cao, but Cao Cao’s brother, Cao Yan!

There was no way. This group of young and strong Yellow Turbans only recognized Cao Yan, the man who painted a rosy picture for them.

Cao Yan had no choice but to be forced to take the position of commander of this new army.

But for Cao Yan's safety, Cao Cao allocated a thousand elite soldiers to serve as Cao Yan's personal guards.

Cao Yan handed over all these 1,000 personal guards to Commander Dian Wei, and now he was finally no longer the commander of the personal guards alone.

Cao Yan was reluctant to give the order to attack, which made Dian Wei standing behind him impatient and uncomfortable.

Look at the camp again.

Zhao Yun was tall, riding a white horse and wearing a white robe, making him extremely eye-catching on the battlefield.

After he led his troops into the camp, he ordered his soldiers to set fire to the camp everywhere.

Liu Xiang took his weapons, mounted his warhorse, and rushed towards Zhao Yun aggressively, wanting to capture the thief and the king.

But at this moment,
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yun stabbed down the six Yuan soldiers who were besieging him.
At the same time, there seemed to be a faint sound of a phoenix coming from Zhao Yun's spear.

Seeing this, Liu Xiang immediately reined in his horse and turned around to run, muttering to himself, "Master's tactics! I can't afford to offend him, I can't afford to offend him..."

A big campfire started and thick smoke billowed!
Seeing that Yuan Jun's main camp was in complete chaos, Cao Yan ordered, "Pass the order! Charge into the main camp! Defeat the enemy!"

The effect of [Morale Boost (Blue)] instantly benefits the entire army.

"Dong Dong Dong!!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

War drums and trumpets sounded, and the 25,000-strong army began to charge!
"kill!!!"

Cao Yan has been practicing martial arts with Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan every day in the past few months, and has gained some basic skills.

[Morale Boost (Blue)] is on cooldown and cannot be replaced.

Cao Yan then replaced the other four entries with [Ancient Evil (gold)] [Super Endurance (purple)] [Thick Skin and Strong Flesh (blue)] [Brave (blue)].

At this time, he was no longer afraid of second-rate generals, and could even fight some quasi-first-rate generals head-on.

When the Qingzhou army, with red eyes and like evil spirits, rushed into Liu Xiang's camp, Liu Xiang knew that the game was over.

After he decisively ordered a retreat, he fled with his personal guards.

As for how far others can run, it all depends on their luck.

In the eyes of the Qingzhou soldiers, these Yuan soldiers are walking heroes.

If they were slow, their achievements would become the credit of others, so they all rushed to be the first and were not afraid of death.

“Heads, heads! I want heads!!”

"Don't run away, you thief! Grandpa wants to borrow your head to exchange for land!!!"

"Kill one and you'll have five acres of land... kill two and you'll have ten acres... kill three and you'll have how much? Who cares? The more the better!!"

"Hahaha! I got a kill!"

"Pentakill!! I'm invincible!!!"

It's just a war, is there any need to make it like a blood feud?

Yuan's soldiers had never seen such frenzied soldiers before. They were truly terrified, their legs trembling. They barely held out for about an incense stick of time before Liu Xiang's ten thousand men were completely defeated.

Post-war battlefield inventory.

In this battle, nearly five thousand Yuan soldiers were killed, and no prisoners were taken!

The Qingzhou army, starving to death, is truly terrifying!

"It's not satisfying!" Dian Wei muttered with displeasure on his face, holding two large iron halberds.

He didn't even encounter two enemy generals, and the ones he met were just small fry, not even enough to fill his teeth.

According to the established plan,

Cao Yan led the Qingzhou army and Zhao Yun's Flying Dragon Cavalry in a surprise attack, defeated Liu Xiang's Kuangting camp, and drove them into Kuangcheng.

Afterwards, Cao Yan led his army to besiege Kuangcheng, waiting for Yuan Shu's subsequent army to come to the rescue.

Cao Cao led Cao Ang, Xu Chu, Le Jin and more than 10,000 soldiers to set an ambush halfway along Yuan Shu's advance.

According to Guo Jia's plan, Cao's army set up three ambushes in total.

The first one is located southwest of Kuangcheng.

There was a hilly area with lush trees, which was convenient for hiding ambushes. When Yuan Shu's army passed by, they could launch an attack from a high position.

The second place is in the ruins outside Kuangcheng.

This place was once the place where the people of Kuang surrounded Kong. The terrain is complex, with many gullies and abandoned city walls, which can provide good cover for ambushes.

But the third place was not near Kuangcheng, but in Yuan Shu’s predetermined target - Puyang City!

……

Yuan Shu's camp.

"Report to General Zuo! Cao Cao's army has marched out in full force. They defeated General Liu's vanguard at Kuangting and have now surrounded Kuangcheng. General Liu has sent an urgent message, begging our lord to come to our aid as soon as possible!"

Liu Xiang didn't know that Cao Yan was using the newly formed Qingzhou army to attack him.

Liu Xian only saw a large group of Cao's army, at least 20,000 people, and the word "Cao" was written on the flag of the central army. He mistakenly thought that Cao Cao was leading all his troops to attack his camp.

That's why they sent people to urgently ask for help, saying that Cao Cao's army was coming out in full force.

However, due to some strange mistake, he sent the wrong information to Yuan Shu...

After receiving the order for help, Yuan Shu thought that Cao Cao was really going to come out in full force, so he took the opportunity to order the entire army to attack.

However, he did not use all his troops to rescue Liu Xiang.

He sent his second-in-command, Zhang Xun, with 50,000 troops under his command, and the newly surrendered Black Mountain Army and the Southern Xiongnu Army of 30,000, a total of 80,000 troops, straight to Puyang.

Yuan Shu himself led an army of 100,000 and headed straight for Kuangcheng, ready to compete with Cao Cao!
After Sun Jian's death, Ji Ling became Yuan Shu's number one general.

Zhang Xun was also promoted from number three to number two, but although his ability was not bad, it was not very good either.

After receiving Yuan Shu's order, he immediately led his troops and marched rapidly towards Puyang.

……

What Yuan Shu never expected was that Cao's army's siege of Kuangcheng was fake, and the real plan was to ambush them halfway and surround and attack their reinforcements!

Yuan Shu's army of over 100,000 was mighty and full of high morale.

The vanguard of 50,000 infantrymen marched along the hilly official road.

The first big flag had the word "Ji" embroidered on it, and the words were fluttering in the wind.

One of his generals was wearing black iron armor and holding a three-pointed, double-edged sword. He was none other than Yuan Shu's number one general, Ji Ling.

However, due to the lack of war horses, Yuan Shu had no formal cavalry under his command.

He had thought about forming a cavalry before, but was rejected when he asked Yuan Shao for war horses.

For this reason, Yuan Shu was so angry that he cursed and vowed to be irreconcilable with Yuan Shao.

Vanguard Ji Ling's team had just walked halfway when countless arrows were suddenly shot out from the woods on both sides without any warning.

Amid the whistling sound of arrows tearing through the air, hundreds of people were shot to the ground.

"Enemy attack!" Ji Ling shouted loudly, and the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand drew an arc like a cold moon, cutting off several cold arrows shot at him.

At the same time, Cao Cao appeared on the high ground on the left.

He held his sword in hand, pointed at Ji Ling's army, and shouted angrily:
"Anyone who beheads a general of Yuan's army will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and promoted three ranks!"

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!"
