When I walked outside, I saw that the sky in the direction of Wuchao was illuminated red by the firelight.
Yuan Shao was stunned. He couldn't believe it or not.
Wuchao seemed to have really caught on fire. His drunkenness disappeared at this moment. If all the more than 10,000 carts of grain and grass were burned, then he would have nothing. Without Cao Cao's attack, he might starve to death in Henan.
You know, that's more than 10,000 cars.
Even if there are such huge resources around the north, it is now very difficult to collect more grain and grass, let alone more than 10,000, even if there are thousands of cars.
Unless you don't care about the life and death of the people, forcefully collect food, and let them starve to death.
"Come on, put out the fire, go put out the fire!"
"What does that loser Chunyu Qiong do? Bring Chunyu Qiong back to me."
Yuan Shao shouted loudly and was extremely anxious.
The soldiers in the military camp hurriedly moved around, but before they had time to rush to Wuchao, they received news that Chunyu Qiong had returned.
Yuan Shao saw Chunyu Qiong whose ears and nose had been cut off, and his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip. After listening to the description of the Wuchao soldiers, he finally understood what happened.
This is Cao Cao, humiliate him!
And Chun Yuqiong, this loser, even drank while guarding the food and grass!
"Drag Chunyu Qiong down and beat him to death with sticks!"
"How many people were there who attacked Wuchao?"
Yuan Shao asked sharply.
"It's so chaotic, I don't know how many people there are."
The Wuchao soldiers who escaped back said in a trembling voice.
"Waste, everything is waste."
"You don't even know how many enemies there are?"
"I'm furious."
"Ju Yi, you lead 20,000 troops to put out the fire. Go quickly!"
Yuan Shao's eyes were red. If the food and grass were burned, what would they use to fight Cao Cao next?
The soldiers would be so hungry that they would not even have the strength to take up arms.
Guo Tu stepped forward at this time and said: "My lord, my subordinates think that there is no need to rush to put out the fire. Looking at the fire on the other side of Wuchao, Wuchao is afraid that it will be burned to the ground. Now we send people to put out the fire, probably It can’t be saved.”
Yuan Shao asked in a hoarse voice, roaring: "If we don't put out the fire, what can we do?"
Guo Tu said: "Attack Cao Ying directly."
Feng Ji agreed: "Gongze is right. As we all know, Cao Cao doesn't have many troops. He must have used the main force to attack Wuchao to defeat the Wuchao guards to such an extent. Our food is gone, so why not do it to the lord?" Tell the soldiers below that if you want to eat, go grab the food from Cao's camp and kill all the people in Cao's camp. The enemy's food is our food. There is a feeling of burning the cauldron and sinking the boat, which may greatly boost morale."
He also regarded Yuan Shao as the overlord of Chu and was willing to destroy everything.
It's a pity that Yuan Shao is Yuan Shao, and he is far from the ability and courage of the Overlord of Western Chu.
"Wait a minute!"
Yuan Shao thought it made sense and was about to agree, but he quickly shook his head and said, "Not many people know about our army's grain garrison in Wuchao. How does Cao Cao know this? Is it possible that there is a traitor among us?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone became stunned.
Having a traitor is a very serious matter.
"Lord, I know the reason."
Shen Pei came over at this time and said: "I just got a report from the people below, saying that Xu Ziyuan has disappeared. I am afraid that he went to Cao Ying to defect to Cao Cao and tell us about our food station in Wuchao."
Feng Ji echoed: "Xu You must still be in Cao Ying at this time."
Yuan Shao listened, furious, his face flushed, and he said fiercely: "That damn Xu You, dare to betray me? Okay! You are the one who wants to die, come here! Gather the whole army, crush Cao's camp for me, and capture him alive Cao Cao and Xu You, I will cut Xu You into pieces with my own hands!"
"Zhang He and Gao Lan, you lead 30,000 troops as the vanguard."
"Zhang Nan, Jiang Qi, Jiang Yiqu, you lead 50,000 troops to follow us. You must crush Cao's camp for me!"
"Ju Yi, take five thousand people to Wuchao."
"If we can still meet, Cao Jun who attacked Wuchao."
"Don't let them live!"
Yuan Shao said viciously.
He wants revenge.
He wanted to chop Cao Cao, Xu You and others into pieces to vent his anger.
After fighting for so long, Yuan Shao never won a single victory. He was already very unhappy, and when something like this happened again, he was about to explode.
At this time, Guo Tu suggested not to put out the fire, but to sneak attack Cao Ying, which got into his heart. At the same time as the sneak attack, he urgently needed a victory to prove his strength and revenge.
"yes!"
All the generals said in unison.
Zhang He and Gao Lan first led 30,000 troops to attack Cao's camp.
At this time, it was already dawn.
The sky is getting brighter and brighter.
There is a white fish belly in the east, and the sun is about to climb.
Xiahou Dun and others waited in ambush on the road until they almost fell asleep.
"Coming, General, the enemy is coming!"
A scout ran back hastily, interrupting all of their sleep.
When they heard that the enemy was coming, they all became frightened.
Cao Ren asked: "How far away is the enemy from us?"
"Yuan Jun's forward is still five miles away from us."
said the scout.
Yu Jin said: "Come so fast?"
Zhang Liao shouted: "Get ready, the archers will go forward first."
The ambushed soldiers of Cao's army were all pumped up and excited. As long as this battle was completed, Cao's army would be victorious, and they would have military exploits when they returned home. They could share rewards and eat meat.
They were looking forward to this battle and were not afraid.
The distance of five miles was shortened in the blink of an eye.
Even without the scouts coming back to report, they heard the footsteps coming from the north.
Not long after, the forwards led by Zhang He and Gao Lan walked past them.
"Do it!"
Cao Hong drank.
Dong dong dong...
The sound of war drums echoed in the mountains.
The beating of drums stirred up many people, who were perched in the jungle and saw the birds preparing to go out to look for food at dawn.
It also alerted the Yuan Jun soldiers who were about to pass below.
"No, there's an ambush!"
Zhang He shouted loudly.
As soon as his voice fell, before he could do anything, arrows rained down from above, knocking down a group of Yuan Jun soldiers.
"There's an ambush and we've fallen into a trap."
"Everyone move back, retreat quickly!"
Gao Lan quickly passed on the order and made the most correct arrangements.
However, Cao's army did not give it to them and retreated so easily.
After the arrows were fired, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry rushed down first, crushing Yuan's army and crushing them. The sound of screams could be heard one after another, which also disrupted the retreating camp.
The infantry followed the cavalry and charged down.
The ambush of Cao's army was not just targeting Zhang He.
Yuan Jun, who followed behind, was also taken care of.
The tiger and leopard cavalry first charged to the rear for a while, and then the infantry followed up and launched an all-round attack on Yuan Shao's army.
Yuan Shao's generals were all stunned at this time.
"When did Cao Cao have so many soldiers?"
The first person to utter this exclamation was Zhang Nan.
According to their knowledge, Cao Cao only had 20,000 to 30,000 men at most.
Now they can counterattack in all directions. Judging from the number of people, they are almost on par with them.
Jiang Qi was also shocked when he saw this, and immediately shouted: "We have all been deceived by Cao Cao. He must have deliberately shown weakness, hid his troops, and tricked us into underestimating the enemy. Whoever comes, please tell General Gao and them to let them cut off the rear. Let's go back first." withdraw."
If they don't leave, they may be wiped out here.
The strength and strength of Cao's army were far beyond their knowledge, and Yuan Shao was completely defeated.
Not only the strategy, but also the military strength, was completely defeated.
