Infinite War Begins with Cao Thief

"The troops are divided!"

Upstairs at the city gate, Dong Huang looked at the allied forces divided into two groups and couldn't help but sneer.

"Look at the direction, the target of that bandit army should be Xiao Pingjin! This road is not going to be easy!"

Jia Xu's deep eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

Jia Xu can be said to have left no stone unturned.

After going to such great lengths to close the door and beat the dog, he naturally took all the circumstances into consideration.

Dong Huangjun not only fortified the walls and cleared the country along the way, but also destroyed all nearby roads except for the plain where the battlefield was planned. Where there were no rivers, dead pigs and dogs were thrown into the wells to pollute the water sources, leaving people who lacked food and water. Under the circumstances, Jia Xu was also curious about how far these people could go.

Besides, it doesn't matter even if they reach Xiaopingjin. The large and small ships around the river have long been cleared and concentrated in Xiaopingjin and Mengjin. Apart from these two passes, the princes' army can't even think of finding a ship from other places. These two passes have been guarded by Dong Huang to Tai Shici and Jiang Qin.

These two people not only know land warfare, but are also very good at water warfare. Even if they are attacked by the princes' army and enter the water stronghold, the worst they can do is set up a boat and leave. When the water army blocks the river, this enemy force will still be a turtle in the urn. !

"My lord only needs to send a group of cavalry to follow from a distance. It won't be too late to deal with them after the main force of the enemy army is destroyed first!"

Jia Xu suggested.

"When is the best time to fight?"

Dong Huang asked.

"If the traitor army does not attack, our army only needs to attack the heart. When the traitor army is exhausted, it will perish."

Jia Xu chuckled.

At this time, Yuan Shaojun could no longer make any trouble, and his demise was inevitable sooner or later. All Dong Huang did was to reduce the losses as much as possible.

The method of attacking the mind is very simple.

The smoke at Hulao Pass has already explained the situation.

Dong Huang sent out soldiers with loud voices and improvised loudspeakers to collectively shout slogans:

"You have fallen into the trap. Hulao Pass has been captured by our Major General!"

"You have become a turtle in a urn!"

"If you don't believe me, let's see if your food and baggage can still be transported?"

"Your generals have abandoned you and fled to Xiaopingjin. They want to cross the river to Hebei!"

"Yuan Cao had a clever plan to bring peace to the world, but he lost his wife and lost his troops!"

…

A series of shouts made the already low morale of the coalition forces even lower.

The soldiers are not fools. The smoke at Hulao Pass and the fierce battle in Luoyang can illustrate the problem.

Even with the pressure of military officers, the lack of food and grass cannot be concealed.

The split between Sun Cao and Liu also intensified the gloom in the hearts of the soldiers.

What's even more deadly is that the fear in the hearts of the princes is not much less than that of the big-headed soldiers.

Han Fu, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Kong Rong, Zhang Chao, Zhang Yang and others were almost going crazy with worry, and they all anxiously asked for advice in Yuan Shao's big tent.

Their representatives were going crazy with anxiety. For the first time, they realized that death was so close to them!

Yuan Shao was not calm either. Sitting in the tent, he was completely without the grace of the past, waiting anxiously for news about Gao Lan.

As long as there is nothing wrong with Hulao Pass or Gao Lan can recapture Hulao Pass, everything will be safe.

The news about Gao Lan didn't come until the evening - Hulao Pass was indeed recaptured by Dong Huang's army, and Gao Lan was defeated and died!

It turned out that when the exhausted Gao Lan troops arrived at Hulao Pass, Xu Chu and Gao Shun, who had a lot of time to relax, decided to lead their Huben army and the trapped camp out of the pass to form a formation to meet the enemy.

Gao Lan was originally worried about how to break through the barrier, but when he saw that the enemy dared to take the initiative to leave the barrier, there were only more than a thousand people, while he had more than 10,000 elite men under his command. With such a huge contrast, I had the advantage!

Gao Lan, who knew what it meant to be unable to capture Hulao Pass, couldn't help but have the idea of ​​defeating Xu Chu and Gao Shun's troops, and then cover up all the way to seize Hulao Pass.

However, as soon as the battle began, Gao Lan realized that he was completely wrong!

One side is a tired soldier who has rushed all the way from Jujube to Luoyang and back from Luoyang, while the other side is recharging his energy and waiting for work;

On one side is the local army, which is equipped with almost no iron armor and can be regarded as a third-level unit at best, but on the other side is a fourth-level unit produced by Infinite War Space and equipped with three layers of iron armor;

The morale of one side is low, and the morale of the other side is not only high, but the main trapped camp is able to exert 150% combat effectiveness under the leadership of Gao Shun!

After comparing many parties, it is difficult to see the battle situation beyond Gao Lan's expectations.

Gao Lan's troops can cut people's bodies with a knife without leaving any scars. If they are trapped in the camp, they can use guns or hammers to easily kill the lives of Gao Lan's troops.

The battle lasted only a stick of incense. Gao Lan's troops had already suffered thousands of casualties and were retreating steadily, while the casualties of Dong Huang's army were almost negligible.

Taking a closer look, this is something bad!

So, he became more concerned and wanted to capture the thief first against Gao Shun.

As a result, when he made a move, Xu Chu, who was idle and flustered beside Gao Shun, laughed.

Little thief, come and accept your fate!

Xu Chu gathered his energy and struck down the head with a powerful and heavy sword. Gao Lan quickly raised his gun to resist, but unexpectedly underestimated Xu Chu's strength. He tilted his body and almost fell off his horse.

Xu Chu gained the upper hand and slashed at Gao Lan's head with his backhand. Gao Lan hurriedly lowered his head, but his helmet was cut off. Xu Chu took advantage of the situation and used the back of the knife to chop Gao Lan on the back of his neck. Although he didn't kill Gao Lan's head with the knife, But he chopped Gao Lan's neck bones into pieces, fell off his horse, and was immediately beheaded by Xu Chu's bodyguards.

As soon as Gao Lan died, Gao Lan's troops immediately collapsed, some surrendered, and some fled in all directions.

Gao Shun did not order anyone to surrender, but followed Jia Xu's previous strategy and asked Xu Chu to take the 500 cavalry from Hulao Pass to drive these defeated troops all the way to the Allied camp.

Under the threat of death, these defeated soldiers abandoned their armor and were driven to the hastily erected camp of the coalition forces.

Facing these companions, the soldiers guarding the camp did not allow them to enter, nor did they allow them to enter. They could only report to Yuan Shao and other princes.

When Yuan Shao received the news of Gao Lan's tragic defeat and death, he happened to hear the sarcastic words "Yuan Cao had a clever plan to calm the world, he lost his wife and lost his troops." He immediately spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted to the ground.

At the same time, the entire camp also learned that Hulao Pass had been captured by Dong Huang's army, the route of retreat was cut off, and the food and supplies could no longer be delivered.

"It's over, everything is over!"

Zhang Da, the war agent who prided himself on being extremely resourceful and resourceful, looked pale.

Han Fu, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Kong Rong, Zhang Chao, Zhang Yang and others are also like ants on a hot pot.

Xu You hurriedly helped Yuan Shao up, pressed his body and slapped him on the cheek, finally woke Yuan Shao up, and whispered in his ear: "The matter is urgent, Ben Chu must make a decision immediately!"

"What's the plan?"

Yuan Shao also had no idea.

Although he is not very knowledgeable about military affairs, he also knows that with a group of newly defeated troops who have suffered repeated defeats and lack of food and food, trying to recreate the myth of a desperate battle is tantamount to wishful thinking!

"Ziyuan, stop showing off!"

"Ziyuan, tell me if you have any plans..."

Han Fu, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao and others also urged.

"Masters, for the current plan, we can only find Cao Mengde and others at night. Only if Cao Mengde and others occupy Xiaopingjin can we have a glimmer of hope!"

Xu You twisted his beard and said.
