Chapter 12: The Battle of Wuchao
"Cao Cao!"
Although he was prepared in his heart, Yuan Shang's heart still swayed for a while, and he could not regain his composure for a long time.
The number one figure in the late Eastern Han Dynasty!
The slightly older man at the foot of the mountain, with an unremarkable appearance, which can even be said to be mediocre, is actually Cao Cao?
The appearance of this generational hero was really shabby. Without bragging, Yuan Shang felt that if he stood next to him, he would be obviously a hundred times better than him.
It's a pity that people cannot be judged by their appearance.
If he had not traveled back in time, in a few years, this hero under the mountain would have defeated Yuan Shao with almost no suspense, then pacified the four states, penetrated into the northern part of the Great Wall, and reached Liaodong, unified northern China, achieved great success, and laid the foundation for the founding of Cao Wei.
The stone-caster was posthumously named Emperor Wu of Wei, and his reputation will be passed down through the ages.
But who could have imagined that Cao Cao, who was known as the immortal hero, was stationed at the foot of the mountain, smiling kindly at himself, and calling himself "little general".
Things are unpredictable...
Obviously, Yuan Shang was not the only one who was shocked by Cao Cao's name. After hearing Cao Cao's name, Yuan Shang, who was hiding an ambush on both sides of the mountain, all turned pale, and looked at each other uneasily, waving flags and shouting.
His voice was obviously much softer than before, and his momentum was obviously not as strong as before.
Yuan Shang suddenly understood that Cao Cao was suppressing his own morale!
A traitor is indeed a traitor. He will chat with you for nothing and happily ask your name? Do you think Cao Cao wants to pay you New Year's greetings?
The reason why Cao Cao and Yuan Shang exchanged names was simply to announce their names in conversation and laughter, in order to frighten Yuan's soldiers and demoralize their own troops, so that they could quickly defeat Yuan's army.
What a cunning old dog.
After giving his name, Cao Cao grinned as if nothing had happened, and continued: "Little general, I have already given my name, why didn't the little general respond? It's just a name, why should I be stingy?"
Yuan Shang smiled casually and opened his mouth to criticize Cao Cao: "Cao Sikong just wants to use the momentum to scare our army. Since your goal has been achieved, why bother asking me my name? I am a mediocre person, even if I give my name,
Come on, Cao Sikong may not take it seriously, so why should I humiliate myself...I won't tell you today, what can the old guy do to me?"
Cao Cao seemed to be fine, but Xu Chu beside him became angry again and shouted angrily: "Little beast, Sikong is talking to you, please open your mouth and be clear!"
Cao Cao raised his hand to stop Xu Chu, nodded appreciatively, slowly stroked his long beard, and said slowly: "Young people are neither impatient nor impetuous. They know Gu's intentions and know how to restrain their sharpness, and they can also use words to provoke others... Very impressive.
It's rare that if it weren't for today's urgent matter, I might as well slowly discuss things with you, but unfortunately it affects the overall situation and I will kill you quickly."
Yuan Shang's expression did not change when he heard this, but his heart felt a little blocked.
Cao Cao held the whip in his hand, pointed at Yuan Shang, and suddenly changed the topic: "Your tactics of doubting soldiers and alienating people may be able to deceive Zhang Liao and Xu Chu, but they have no effect in front of Cao... However,
Before Cao attacks the mountain, I have another question for you. You are willing to set fire to Wuchaonair and other important granary areas. What is your intention? I wonder if you, young general, can teach me?"
Yuan Shang lazily argued with Cao Cao, shook his head and said disdainfully: "We have a lot of food and grass, and we can't finish it. I'm afraid that the soldiers will eat too much and die, so I'll burn the food and loosen my belts, isn't it okay?"
The generals of Cao's army, led by Xu Chu, gritted their teeth with anger when they heard this. Who is this kid? He talks in such nonsense, it is really out of tune. When did Yuan Jun's army have such a disaster?
I really want someone to chop him up alive.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, sneered and opened his mouth and said: "Since you don't want to say it, why not remind you? You burned Wuchao's food and grass, ostensibly to set up suspicious troops and doubt our army, but in fact you just want to make Yuan Jun
When the camp saw the black smoke rising, it was able to quickly send troops to rescue him. How could it be hidden from Cao's eyes by just making noises in the east and attacking in the west?"
Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows immediately when he heard this.
This Cao Cao is really a bastard. In front of the two armies, he revealed all the plans he had set up like a bamboo tube. He just wanted to suppress his own morale. Is he finished?
At such an old age, he has no shame.
Yuan Shang's eyes rolled slightly, and then he cupped his fist at Cao Cao from afar, and said with a wicked smile: "Cao Sikong is wise, and his eyes are as sharp as a torch. I admire you very much. You are indeed old and strong, cunning and cunning, and you will get stronger with each passing day."
, old but not dead..."
When Cao Cao heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and his face was so gloomy that it made people feel chilling.
The reason is the last word Yuan Shangshi used when talking about him.
What is being old but not dying... What is being old but not dying? Being old but not dying is a thief. This little beast is roundly calling himself a thief of the country...
Cao Cao raised the whip in his hand and slowly said two words to the generals behind him.
"Kill the enemy."
"Kill--!"
As soon as the general's order was issued, thousands of troops were launched. As Cao Cao's order was issued, Cao Cao's infantry was instantly divided into two groups, one attacking the left and the other attacking the right. The heavy armor was in front and the infantry was behind. The order was strict but
He pushed towards the mountain without losing momentum.
Coming!
Yuan Shang muttered secretly in his heart.
Take it as it comes, and since you expected such a scene sooner or later, just fight him with all your strength. Who will laugh in the end is still unknown.
After straightening up, Yuan Shang said loudly to the soldiers behind him: "Our army has a great advantage from being condescending! Brothers, don't be afraid, drive away these bandits who want to steal our food!"
When Yuan Shang finished speaking, Guo Yuan, who was behind Yuan Shang, waved the flag in his hand and shouted loudly: "Crossbowmen, fire arrows!"
“Swish, swish, swish—!”
A light rain of arrows swept down the hillside, hitting first the group of Cao's soldiers who were rushing up the mountain in the front row.
However, the fighting quality of Cao's army was extremely high. The falling of the soldiers in the front row could not affect the fighting spirit of the rear army at all. In just a moment, the soldiers in the rear row were seen stamping on the corpses of the front army without caring and rushing upwards.
Cao Jun's attack speed was extremely fast. After only two waves of arrows were fired by Yuan Jun on the mountain, Cao Jun was seen rushing in front of Yuan Jun. In an instant, soldiers were engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Soldiers from both sides were fighting back and forth on the mountain.
A ball.
Yuan Shang stood on top of the mountain with Guo Yuan protecting him. Seeing the fierce battle between the two armies on the mountain, Yuan Shang couldn't help but feel a little heavy in his heart.
The difference in combat power is really too big.
Cao's army was attacking the mountain, while Yuan's army was taking advantage of the situation to defend. Even under such conditions, Yuan's army was still fighting and retreating, and it was almost impossible to defeat the enemy in a head-on conflict.
If this continues, I'm afraid it won't be long before the entire Yuan army on the mountain will be wiped out by Cao's army.
From this point of view, if you want to fight Cao Jun in a balanced battle, you still need Chunyu Qiong to lead a frontal attack on cavalry, and attack from two sides.
While Yuan Shang was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a loud noise in front of Wuchao, and saw that many cavalrymen suddenly rushed out of the Wuchao camp, which seemed to be deserted just a moment ago. The leader looked like a bull, brandishing a big sword in his hand and baring his teeth and claws.
Go straight to Cao Cao and kill him.
However, it was Chun Yuqiong who led Sui Yuanjin, Zhao Rui, Han Juzi, Lu Weihuang and other lieutenants to fight out.
Cao Cao, who was stationed at the foot of the mountain to fight at the pass, was a little surprised when he saw this, and said curiously: "Oh? I don't think there are actually ambushes buried in Wuchao? You want to take advantage of the solitary attack on the mountain to attack our army... Haha, I didn't expect it.
, Cao actually looked at the little friend on the mountain with a slight smile."
At this point, Cao Cao glanced at Yuan Shang on the mountain, and then ordered to the generals: "Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Yu Jin."
"Yes!" the three responded at the same time.
"I order the three of you to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to break through the cavalry rushing out of Wuchao, and then rush into the stronghold to burn food. The battle will be quick and no one will be left alive."
"promise!"
Calmly looking at Xu Chu behind him, Cao Cao showed a smile: "Zhong Kang."
Xu Chu hurriedly stepped forward: "Lord! Xu Chu is here!"
Cao Cao pointed to Yuan Shang on the mountain with his distant hand, and said with a slight smile: "Zhongkang, I am quite interested in the white-armored young general on the mountain. Can Zhongkang relieve my worries?"
