In the end, Yuan Shao sent 20,000 troops led by Zhang He to Qingzhou to support Yuan Tan.
Immediately afterwards, the three armies were ordered to attack in an all-out manner, with a phalanx of 140,000 infantry and a flank of 30,000 cavalry, carrying countless siege ladders, thunder chariots, and two-horse chariots. The army was uniform and orderly, with smoke and dust billowing, officially Launched a charge towards Guandu.
That scene can no longer be described as grand, it was simply so grand that it exploded!
Guandu
Cao Chen Residency
After deliberation for a long time, Guo Jia and others finally came up with a strategy that could be considered a strategy.
Guo Jia's proposal was: Cao Cao would lead 30,000 Cao troops to face the enemy head-on to attract the attention of Yuan Shao's army.
Chen Feng led the Xuzhou army to divide his troops into three divisions, and attacked Yuanwu, Yangwu and Fengqiu respectively. He harassed and destroyed the logistics of Yuan Shao's army, forcing Yuan Shao to divide his troops and then find a breakthrough.
As for why Cao Cao stayed and faced it head-on? It was because Yuan Shao was here to beat him, and Chen Feng was just here to help. Of course, Cao Cao, the host, would be the one to carry it.
As a general with excellent force value, Chen Feng is also very suitable for the job of logistical harassment.
But the danger index of Chen Feng's mission is not much lower than that of Cao Cao. Cutting off the enemy's logistics will test the general's flexibility and the mobility of the army. If you are not careful or not careful, you may be attacked by the opponent. Make dumplings in a pinch.
In this regard, Chen Feng said that he can give it a try. With his natural talent, he can use more to defeat fewer, which is commonplace. As long as the opponent does not have 100,000 people to attack him at once, he can do it.
After confirming the plan, he did what he said. In order to allow Cao Cao to last longer, Chen Feng left Gao Shun's three thousand trapped camp to assist Cao Cao.
The 20,000 Xuzhou army was divided into three, with Chen Feng himself, Zhang Liao and Cheng Pu each leading an army. Taking advantage of Cao's army to delay Yuan's army from the front, they crossed the river and attacked Fengqiu, Yuanwu and Yangwu respectively, and attacked Yuan Shao's army. Logistics routes are destroyed.
Cao Cao led 30,000 Cao troops to prepare defensive equipment. At the same time, he dug deep traps outside the camp and was fully prepared to resist the arrival of Yuan Jun.
August of the fifth year of Jian'an (200 years)
The main forces of Cao and Yuan's armies officially fought in Guandu
As soon as the battle started, Yuan Jun launched a fierce charge towards Cao Ying. At the same time, Yuan Shao also had people build towers outside Cao Ying, pile up mountains of earth, and fired arrows at Cao Ying from high places. Arrows rained down for a while, covering the sky. On that day, the officers and soldiers of Cao's army who were so suppressed in Cao's camp had to walk with their shields above their heads.
Cao Cao hurriedly ordered the army to use thunderbolt chariots (catapults) to counterattack, destroying Yuan Jun's wall towers and earthen mountains, and then the soldiers could barely raise their heads.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Jun secretly dug a tunnel leading to Cao's camp, while Cao Jun dug long ditches in the camp for defense. The offensive battle suddenly turned into a defensive battle, and the battlefields on both sides continued to increase and change.
Yuan Jun's schemes and tricks emerged one after another, and Cao Jun responded passively and panicked.
The battle got out of hand. While attacking Guandu, Yuan Shao even divided his forces to attack Xuchang, Zhongmou and other places. Cao Cao asked for help from the three thousand trapped camps left by Chen Feng, so that he could hold on.
Not long after the confrontation between the two sides, two or three of the ten soldiers of Cao's army were seriously injured. There were less than 10,000 soldiers capable of fighting on the front line. They had no ability to fight back and could only passively hide in the camp.
at the same time
North Bank of the Yellow River
The three teams of Chen Feng, Zhang Liao, and Cheng Pu took advantage of the cover of night to arrive at their destinations. Without saying a word, they took action directly and launched sneak attacks on Yuan Jun's garrison in Fengqiu, Yuanwu, and Yangcheng.
First, on the Yangwu side, the 7,000 Xuzhou Army led by Cheng Pu arrived at Yangwu and started fighting with the 3,000 Yuan Army who stayed in Yangwu. The two sides entered a stalemate.
As for Yuanwu, the defenders also numbered 3,000, but what was unexpected was that the 7,000 Xuzhou Army commanders led by Zhang Liao drove straight in, directly defeated Yuanwu's defenders and occupied Yuanwu.
The screen changes
Fengqiu
Different from Yuanwu and Yangwu, there are five thousand defenders in Fengqiu.
Chen Feng led 7,000 Xuzhou troops to attack Fengqiu, but could not capture it for a long time because among the defenders... there was Liu Guanzhang? ? ?
Yes, the generals of the five thousand Yuan troops who stayed in Fengqiu were Liu Bei, plus Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
"It seems that Yuan Shao values Fengqiu very much."
Chen Feng immediately sent two cavalrymen to quickly recall Zhang Liao's and Cheng Pu's armies, and combined their forces to attack Fengqiu.
The 20,000 Xuzhou Army fought against the 5,000 Fengqiu garrison, especially Liu Guanzhang, who was unable to withstand it, so Liu Bei sent people to request support from Yuan Shao on the front line.
Yuan Shao was also shocked when he learned that Fengqiu was attacked, because their Yuan army's granary was located at the Wuchao behind Fengqiu, which is why there were more defenders staying in Fengqiu.
At that moment, Yuan Shao immediately asked Yan Liang to turn around and return to Fengqiu with 30,000 men.
During this period, Jushou dissuaded him, saying: "Yan Liang has a narrow-minded character. Although he is brave, he cannot be used alone."
Jushou objected to Yan Liang leading the army alone, but Yuan Shao refused to listen and insisted on sending Yan Liang forward.
Fengqiu
After Chen Feng saw Yan Liang's army arriving, he knew that it would be difficult to capture Fengqiu this time, so he had to give up attacking Fengqiu temporarily, planning to withdraw first and then think of another way.
When Yan Liang saw that Chen Jianjun was about to run away, he felt that there were many people on his side, so he led his army in hot pursuit.
This made Chen Feng a little angry: he attacked Fengqiu earlier because his army was larger than Liu Bei's defenders in Fengqiu, and his talents could not be used. In addition, Liu Guan and Zhang were indeed a bit strong, so they did not defeat him.
Now you Yan Liang leads 30,000 people, how dare you come after me and kill 20,000 people? Do you really think you are a god descending to earth, able to fight one against two?
Chen Feng thought this in his heart, but on the surface he still pretended that he had no intention of fighting and pretended to retreat.
After leading Yan Liang's army far away from Fengqiu, Chen Feng returned to his horse and shouted to the soldiers: "Now, the whole army turns around and kill Yan Liang!"
Chen Feng decisively ordered to stop the retreat and turned around to fight Yan Liangjun.
[Ding dong, with an outnumbered enemy, the talent "Champion" is triggered, the force is +3, and the host's force is increased from the superb 98 to the peerless 101. 】
[Ding dong, it is detected that the number of the host's army is less than that of the enemy. The talent "Natural General" is triggered, and the morale of the entire team is increased by 200%. 】
Chen Feng's sudden U-turn caught Yan Liang off guard. Soldiers are also deceitful. Chen Feng's army suddenly changed from a state of escape to a surge in morale, and directly killed Yan Liang's army behind him, covering his head and turning around.
【Yan Liang
Unknown word
Force: 94+2 [Superior]
Intelligence: 60-5 [comparable to excellence]
Politics: 18 [not in the mainstream]
Commander: 74 [Third rate]
Talent: Heroic Courage (When leading the battle alone, intelligence is temporarily -5, and force is temporarily +2.)
Attitude: Hostile
I don't know where he comes from in Jizhou. He has a narrow-minded character, is brave and has no plans. He is now a general under Yuan Shao. 】
"92? I admit that you are a bit strong, but that's all!"
Chen Feng held the unique Plum Blossom Spear in his hand. He sat down and stepped on the snow without a trace, and went straight to Yan Liang in front of the enemy's formation to kill him. No one could stop him wherever he passed.
"Hmph! Just in time!"
Facing the menacing Chen Feng, Yan Liang was not afraid at all, and rode on horseback to fight with a long sword in hand.
I just heard a 'dang' sound
The plum-blossom spear and the long knife collided in response. With just one move, Yan Liang sat down and his horse suddenly knelt down. Then Yan Liang on the horse lost his center of gravity and rolled to the ground.
Yan Liang, who was lying on the ground, was in panic. He staggered and tried to stand up in a hurry. Unexpectedly, when he raised his head, a silver-white gun head had already stabbed him in the head.
"Pfft~"
Yan Liang, died!
