Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

As the number one general under Cao Cao and Lu Yan, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong are bound to be the first thing that comes to mind whenever encountering the most difficult situation.

"Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, where is Xia Houlan?" Cao Cao pointed at the three of them.

Zhao Yun, who is handsome in silver armor and white robe, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes; Zhang Liao, who has a face like purple jade and starry eyes; : "The end is here!"

"Let Zhao Yun be the chief general, and Zhang Liao and Xia Houlan be the deputy generals. In the early morning of tomorrow, we will lead [-] light cavalry to travel across the starry night and rush to the white horse to lie in wait for the opportunity!"

"Here!" The three clasped their fists together and agreed in unison.

Cao Cao told Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Xia Houlan: "Zilong, Wenyuan, and Ziheng, you three are both wise and brave, so I won't make any specific arrangements.

You can make immediate responses based on the situation on the spot. "

"The general obeys orders!!!"

Chapter 2 and Four

After the three of Zhao Yun were ordered to retreat, Cao Cao continued to order: "Li Dian, you lead [-] soldiers and [-] garrison soldiers, bring more flags of me and other generals, and pretend to attack Yanjin."

Li Dian walked out, clasped his fists and said, "The last general takes orders!"

Cao Cao looked at Xiahouyuan again, and said, "Xiahouyuan!"

"The end is here!"

"I order you to lead an army of [-], bring more civilians, and set up camps every fifty miles along the way. Within five days, I will see at least four camps!"

"Here!"

Then, Cao Cao looked at Lu Yan and asked, "Mr. Lu, do you have anything to add?"

Lu Yan shook his head and said, "Mr. Cao's arrangement is very comprehensive, Yan has nothing to add."

But Cao Cao still felt a little uneasy in his heart. Although Lu Yan said in his diary that Cao Cao won the battle of Guandu,

But Lu Yan also said that the current trend of history has changed greatly, and it is uncertain whether it will develop in the established direction in the future.

But now that Lu Yan said it was okay, Cao Cao couldn't force Lu Yan to speak, so he looked at Xi Zhicai and the others and asked, "Everyone, do you have anything to add?"

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Cao Cao said, "Since that's the case, we'll be here today. You can go down to arrange and rest first."

"Here!"

......

Cao Cao adopted Xun You's strategy and ordered Li Dian to lead an army of [-] disguised as [-] to Yanjin Ferry.

On this journey, Zhao Yun led [-] cavalry from the headquarters of Chenliu Commandery, plus the [-] cavalry assigned to him by Cao Cao, for a total of [-] light cavalry.

Eight thousand cavalrymen, in addition to conventional weapons, each of them only carried a longbow and a pot of arrows, a dozen rice cakes and ten potatoes, plus some refined salt, and temporarily hid themselves.

Today is already the third day since Zhao Yun arrived in Baima, and it is also the fifth day since Yan Liang's army besieged the White Horse stronghold.

After Chen Deng withdrew the Yellow River defense line, Yuan Shao's army crossed the river without hindrance. As of today, nearly [-] troops have crossed the Yellow River.If Yuan Jun hadn't chosen to transport the siege equipment and supplies across the river first, I am afraid that there are far more than [-] soldiers now.

Zhao Yun personally led the scouts to Baima to investigate the news. Firstly, he wanted to observe the battle situation and situation of Baima with his own eyes, and secondly, because he had a telescope given to him by Lu Yan, which allowed him to see farther and more in detail than anyone else.

Zhao Yun and others hid behind the hillside.

In the telescope, about two or three miles away, the White Horse Fortress is being attacked by Yuan Jun's soldiers at the moment.

The sounds of shouting, fighting, and cursing on the battlefield came from far away. In Zhao Yun's binoculars, the fortifications around the White Horse Fortress were almost cleaned up by Yuan Jun.

Yuan Shao was born in the fourth generation and the third father, and his family background is extremely strong, and there are countless talents of all kinds under his command. This can be well proved by the various weapons and various siege equipment in his army.

In the past, when Cao Cao fought against other princes, it was basically crushed by technology.

But now, Zhao Yun felt the black technology from Yuan Shao.

Zhao Yun clearly saw that Yuan Jun frantically deployed more than a dozen well rails with a height of seven or eight meters outside the city wall of the White Horse Fortress, which was only four or five meters high.

In fact, the well fence is relatively easy to be destroyed. Rockets and trebuchets are its nemesis.

But before the Jinglan, Yuan Jun also deployed a scull cart. In front of this kind of scull cart is a large shield wrapped in rawhide, more than five meters high, which can help Jinglan resist the attack of rockets from the city.

On each well, dozens of archers took turns shooting arrows towards the city.

They are nearly half higher than the city wall, and they are condescending, and they can stably shoot at the defenders deployed by Yu Jin on the top of the city.

Under the city wall, there were also Yuan Jun holding shields and shooting arrows, cleaning up horse rejection, horse sinking pits and trenches.Look

Their progress, another day and a half, I am afraid they will be able to clean up all the fortifications outside the two city walls.

When the fortifications are cleared, it will be time for Yuan Shao's army to launch a general offensive.

Regardless of the number of people or the equipment, Yuan Jun currently has the upper hand. Yu Jin was able to hold on for five full days under such a difficult situation, which also showed his superb commanding ability.

Yuan Jun only attacked from the east and north, presumably he was also wary of Cao Jun coming from the direction of Puyang City.Maybe, they might have purposely allowed Yu Jin to guard for so long, in fact, they secretly wanted to come around to help.

It's a pity that Chen Deng kept his troops on hold and refused to send troops easily, so Yuan Jun could only vent his anger on the white horse defended by the ban.

Zhao Yun observed the situation outside the White Horse Village, countless inferences and conjectures flashed through his mind, with a serious expression on his face.The situation on the battlefield is changing, but important information has also been revealed from various details, which is why Zhao Yun came to investigate in person.

Just when Zhao Yun was hesitating whether to go in advance to ambush on the only road between Baima and Puyang, Yan Liang, who was holding up the siege army in the distance, suddenly led a group of troops away from the battlefield in a hurry.

Zhao Yun's heart moved, and he said secretly: "It seems that the news of Manchester City's feigned attack on Yanjin has arrived. Yan Liang may divide his troops and go to Yanjin immediately. I have to go back immediately and tell everyone to prepare for the ambush!"

Not daring to delay, Zhao Yun led the scouts back to the hiding place of his army.

Seeing Zhao Yun's hasty expression, Xia Houlan asked, "Did Yan Liang make any movement?"

Zhao Yun nodded, and said to Xia Houlan and Zhang Liao: "Ziheng, Wenyuan, immediately inform the brothers to go to the road we have selected in advance to ambush on the road to Yanjin!"

When Zhang Liao heard this, he immediately understood, "Okay! It seems that Li Mancheng's feint has succeeded!"

The white horse wants the village.

Yu Jin's adjutant came to him and said, "General, Yuan Jun has almost cleared the fortifications outside the city. Our brothers are suppressed by Yuan Jun's archers. If they attack the city... ...General, please make a quick decision!"

Yu Jin knew what the adjutant meant, he thought to himself:

"We have tried our best to delay it for more than four days, presumably Prime Minister Cao should be ready.

These 1 people couldn't just die in vain. If Yuan Shao had so many troops, if he didn't leave more defenders, Dongjun might be easily defeated by him. "

After many years of management, Yu Jin has long regarded Dongjun as his home. He does not allow his homeland to be invaded and ravaged by the enemy, and Cao Cao has not given him the order to stick to the white horse.

Just when Yu Jin was thinking about when it would be better to retreat, Yuan Jun's momentum of attacking the city suddenly slowed down.

"What's going on?" Yu Jin was wondering,

Suddenly a messenger came to report, "Report! General, Yan Liang's banner is withdrawing!"

"Yan Liang withdrew???" Yu Jin was surprised, "Are you sure Yan Liang really evacuated?"

"The little one saw it for real, Yan Liang Daqi really left the battlefield!"

Yu Jin immediately came to the top of the city under the escort of his personal guard, "Sure enough! Yan Liang's banner is gone!"

I don't know why Yan Liang withdrew suddenly, but his departure caused the morale of Yuan Jun's siege soldiers to plummet. Yu Jin let out a sigh of relief, and finally showed a smile, saying: "It seems that we can survive another day by luck."

Chapter 2 Today is the day of your death!

Baima and Yanjin are the two best crossings within a few hundred miles of the Yellow River.

Yuan Shao could cross the Yellow River from either of these two ferries, and Cao Cao could also reach the north bank of the Yellow River from these two ferries.

Yan Liang was shocked when he learned that Cao Cao led an army to Yanjin in an attempt to cross Yanjin and attack the hinterland of Jizhou.

Because Hanoi County still has Cao Ren, Shi Huan, and Xu Huang's [-] troops ready to serve as support at any time, Yan Liang did not dare to neglect in the slightest. After sending someone to send the news to Yuan Shao, he left behind Guo Tu, Chun Yuqiong and others Continue to besiege the white horse, while he personally led [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, and set off for Yanjin.

In later generations, [-] cavalry were enough to serve as [-] light soldiers. On the plains, it would take [-] infantry to fight against one cavalry!

But now it is the end of the Han Dynasty, there are no saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes, and most of the cavalry are light cavalry, so they are far less domineering than the cavalry of the later dynasties.

Before Yuan Shao and Xiliang were dealt with, Lu Yan did not dare to get the three cavalry treasures out.

After all, these three things are too easy to imitate. If you take them out when your cavalry is not enough, isn't that purely for the enemy and causing trouble for yourself?

According to news from scouts, Cao Cao's army heading for Yanjin has about [-] troops, but very few cavalry.

So Yan Liang's [-] cavalry and [-] infantry should be enough to deal with it.

Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan, and Zhang Liao led [-] cavalry to set up an ambush on Yan Liang's only way to Baima in advance.

The location of the ambush was chosen on a trail, which was the closest option to Yanjin, and the trail was lined with dense forests.

Cao Jun didn't dig a horse pit on the ground, but only set up a tripping rope, which was gone after being used, so that he could avoid pitting his own horse's legs when he charged later.

Xia Houlan led hundreds of soldiers to lie in ambush on both sides of the woods, covering the traces of tripping ropes with dust and leaves on the ground.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao each led [-] cavalry and hid in the woods at the front and rear ends of the trail.

Most of the day passed, and the sky had gradually darkened. According to reports from scouts, Yan Liang's cavalry was less than ten miles away from the ambush site.

Ten miles, at the marching speed of cavalry, it takes about two quarters of an hour.

The ground began to tremble gradually, and the "rumbling" sound of horseshoes was heard from far and near!

Xia Houlan was refreshed, and secretly said: "Here we come."

After the dust that covered the sky and the sun could be seen in the distance, Xia Houlan said to the soldiers around him: "Cheer up, the enemy is coming soon!"

The soldiers were silent, but their mental strength was obviously more concentrated.

Yan Liang is a big fish, if anyone can catch him, he will really make a fortune!

Now it was approaching evening, the sun had already set, and only the last afterglow stubbornly exuded the last afterglow.

The path ahead, under the shade of the trees on both sides, looked a bit gloomy.

Yan Liang's keen sense of danger has been tempered by his long-term battle, and he feels very uncomfortable at this moment.

So, Yan Liang turned around and shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, speed up and pass here, and we will rest after arriving in Yanjin!"

The distance between Baima and Yanjin is not far, and they can be reached in one day by marching quickly.

Due to the urgent military situation, Yan Liang spared no effort to let the cavalry set off towards Yanjin at the fastest speed.As for the infantry behind the cavalry, they will be led by other generals and arrive later.

The sound of horseshoes was approaching, and Xia Houlan, who was spying secretly, could even see Yan Liang, who was wearing a golden armor and had an incomparably majestic figure.

Getting closer, getting closer.

Just when Yan Liang was about to turn around and urge his subordinates to speed up again, he suddenly saw something abnormal on the ground in front of him!

Out of a keen sense of the crisis, Yan Liang immediately clamped his legs and raised the rein.Yan Liang's war horse has followed him for many years, and they have long been connected with each other.

Under Yan Liang's series of subconscious movements, the horse's hind legs slammed hard, and with the help of its forward momentum, it jumped up and covered a distance of several feet!

The cavalry behind Yan Liang were not as alert as him, let alone the quick response and powerful physical functions of his horse.

"bump!"

"Boom!"

"Oh!!"

After Xia Houlan ordered people to pull up all the tripping ropes within more than ten meters on the ambush path, the cavalry running in the front, except for Yan Liang, were immediately hit!

The war horses under Yuan Jun's crotch stumbled one after another, their heads turned down, and they were forced to stick to the ground. By the way, they threw their masters on their backs for about ten meters, and had an intimate contact with the earth...

This path is only five or six meters wide. After the cavalry in front fell down, the cavalry behind them could hardly escape at high speed.

Numerous cavalrymen fell to the ground in front of them. Amidst the heavy objects falling to the ground and the screams of Yuan Jun's soldiers, the marching speed of Yan Liang's cavalry slowed down quickly.

After Xia Houlan went out to slow down the speed of Yan Liang's cavalry, she quickly retreated into the woods.With the cover of the forest, Yan Liang's cavalry did not dare to rush in.

Whether it is light cavalry or heavy cavalry, their most valuable and deadly is speed.

At the moment when Yan Liang's cavalry slowed down, at the end of the trail, which is the end where Yan Liang's cavalry came in, there were bursts of screams that made Yuan Jun terrified!

"kill."

"Kill the thief!"

A large number of arrows followed the shouts of killing, but there were not many cavalry who could ride and shoot. Many of them were soldiers who had dismounted, lying in ambush on both sides of the entrance and shooting arrows into the path.

After shooting down about hundreds of Yuan Jun's cavalry, Zhang Liao led the rest of the cavalry to appear from behind and blocked their retreat!

Zhang Liao's voice came from behind, "Zhang Wenyuan of the Yanmen is here, why don't Yan Liang surrender quickly?"

"Zhang Liao?" Yan Liang had never heard of Zhang Liao's name at all, and he didn't care about the ambush behind the army, but urged the cavalry to follow, saying: "Follow me, rush out!"

Realizing that he was ambushed by the enemy, Yan Liang urged the soldiers to rush out of the trail.
