Three Kingdoms

Cao Chun felt that he had been fooled.

And it was Sanfei... well, all three parties tricked him.

He can accept Zhao Yun playing tricks on him. They were opponents themselves, and they deceived each other in the art of war. If they lost, they could only say that they were inferior in skills. There was nothing to say, but being fooled by these barbarians made Cao Chun very angry.

More importantly, even the people of Jizhou tricked him.

The military situation is like a fire, how can we delay it?

But the people in Jizhou kept delaying, blatantly delaying.

This time the barbarians looted, it was almost equivalent to destroying all the production and living environment that Youzhou had finally built up. On the other hand, it can be said that Zhao Yun basically did not suffer any losses in production and living. Therefore, under the circumstances, The next time they face Zhao Yun, Cao's situation will be even more difficult and painful, just like when the Six Kingdoms faced Qin, if they failed to win the first time, they would become even more difficult to win.

Since Cao Chun's attack, he has tried his best to design and plan, and even put the entire Youzhou as a bet on the gambling table. However, he had to face the worst situation, which made Cao Chun almost ready to die. Mentally broken, I just had to grit my teeth and hold on.

Although Cao Chun foiled the Hu people's plot to attack Yuyang, it did not completely change the situation on the battlefield. Even after he advanced, he received worse news...

There is no worst, only worse.

First of all, Gubeikou was congested due to heavy snow or other reasons, and Hu people gathered in large numbers in the southern section of Gubeikou.

This means that if Cao Chun wants to advance, he will need to face greater and stronger pressure, not an easy tail-biting chase as imagined.

Secondly, and the worse news is that the Jizhou troops simply cannot catch up!

He said it was because of the heavy snow, the muddy roads, or the inconvenience of passage. It was just a matter of words and he couldn't come.

The news spread to the camp, and every military school felt heavy-hearted.

If Jizhou's troops can't catch up, how can we fight this battle?

Do you still want to fight?

I could see that the atmosphere in the big tent was getting more and more depressing.

I don't know how long it took, but Cao Chun still didn't speak.

Mou Hua, who was on the side, couldn't help but slapped his thigh, and then cursed angrily: "What are those people in Jizhou doing?" ! They are all Han people. Is it possible that Jizhou and Youzhou must be separated for success? ! On weekdays, I just put up with the old junk goods being shipped as shoddy goods, but now when I need the most support, it never comes! If Jizhou's reinforcements hadn't come, Youzhou wouldn't have deteriorated into what it is now! It's not Hu Gou's turn to be so arrogant. As long as the general leads us to attack from both sides, most of Hu Gou will stay in Youzhou! Okay now, we are left to deal with those wild dogs, they are still behind and ready to laugh! 』

Mouhua is a native of Youzhou and a member of the Mou family in Zhongxian County.

In this large-scale raid by the Hu people, they also suffered great damage, so they were naturally angry that reinforcements from Jizhou were not coming.

Several other military academy officials who came from Youzhou also spoke out and echoed what Mou Hua said.

Some other Cao family members remained silent.

If in normal times, these officials from Youbei Military Academy were so rude, they would definitely be scolded by the Cao family, Xiahou family and other children. But now that the situation is like this, why don't you tolerate the children of Youzhou to complain?

Cao Chun's originally planned counterattack now lacked support.

So, are you still fighting?

If only Cao Chun and other Yuyang men really wanted to pursue them, could they win against so many barbarians in Gubeikou?

If we can't win, what will happen then...

In this case, it is better to withdraw the troops. Anyway, there is reason to say that it is not their fault that the Jizhou people did not support them?

Is the choice more radical or more prudent?

Everyone was talking about it.

Some people are really worried, and some people are just venting. After waiting for these people in Youbei to talk to each other and chattering for a long time, they found that Cao Chun was sitting with his eyes half closed, motionless, and these people gradually Stopped...

No matter what, the final decision is still made by Cao Chun.

After there was no other sound in the tent, Cao Chun slowly raised his head and said, "You want to fight to the death, what do you think?" 』

Fight to the death?

Not a battle, but a fight to the death?

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

These Cao Jun cavalry under Cao Chun can be said to be Cao Jun, or the only cavalry field regiment capable of fighting in Shandong.

Are we really going to fight to the death with the barbarians at Gubeikou?

Not a battle, but a fight to the death?

Everyone looked at each other, then felt their mouths and tongues were a little dry and swallowed their saliva.

Did Cao Chun suddenly change his gender?

Do you really want to fight to the death, or is it just talk?

The Hu people plundered Youzhou. As the main fighting force of Youzhou, logically speaking, there is no doubt that they should fight to the end to defend their homeland. But in this world, the truth is this, but whether it can actually be done is another matter.

Otherwise, why would the Youbei War have reached this point?

So if we didn't fight to the death before and now we fight to the death with the barbarians, will we really win?

You must know that the Jizhou troops have not arrived yet...

If we really wait here for the people from Jizhou to arrive soon, then the most likely possibility is that all the barbarians will run away.

But just catching up like this...

Although the Hu people no longer want to stay in Youbei and are eager to return to the desert, after all, dogs are eager to jump over the wall, not to mention so many dogs gathered together. If they really go crazy, they are not so easy to fight. .

So if you really want to fight to the death, you may really face death.

In comparison, perhaps being "safer" is a better choice.

As long as the soldiers and horses are there, even if they retreat when they see the enemy, they still have room to deal with the court. This is the reason why Jizhou has not come yet, and these people in Youzhou are scolding, but in fact they are just laughing at the fifty steps and the hundred steps.

But now, Cao Chun suddenly said that he would fight to the death...

If they win, Cao Jun's rule in Youbei can still survive. If they lose, it will mean that all the mobile field troops in Youzhou will be wiped out. From now on, Youzhou will be handed over to the Hu people!

Cao Chun glanced at each one, "What, you don't dare?" 』

Cao Chun stood up, as if he straightened his waist that had been stooped for a while, and showed his sharpness, "Thousands of people in Youbei are all waiting eagerly!" If we don't fight to the death today, there will no longer be a place for you and me in Youzhou! The place where the Han Dynasty herds his horses has already been lost. If Youzhou is lost again... If you are guilty of this battle, I will be blamed, and all the credit will go to you! 』

Cao Chun's eyes were sharp, "At this time, we have to fight against the odds. Youzhou can still be saved!" If we continue to hesitate... let the Hu people retreat from Youzhou calmly and take away a large number of Youzhou people... Then the villages will be abandoned, the land will be desolate, the crops will be harvested, and there will be no food and clothing. Even living will be worse than death! 』

"The Black Stone Forest has already retreated once, but in the land of Youzhou... there is no way for you and me to retreat!" ” Cao Chun said in a deep voice, “If you take another step forward, you can still survive from death... If you take another step back, you will be doomed! 』

"But... what if the Hussars are on the side..." Someone whispered, "Wouldn't it be..."

"Hussars... In this kind of weather, whether the Hussars will ambush can only be said to be a 50-50 number..." Cao Chun did not avoid this question, "But if you and I don't dare to fight, then Youzhou will be ruined." That’s 10 percent! What's more, we don't need to defeat all the Hu people... we just need to drive them away, disrupt them, and completely disperse and disrupt the Hu people who remain in the southern section of Gubeikou! 』

"First attack Yuzhu's tribe, then drive them to attack Sulimo Huba and others, and finally completely defeat them and save the people of Youzhou!" 』

"I'm not going to lie to you. In this battle, the number of Hu people is twice that of mine. It's also snowing heavily and our vision is unclear. If we were caught in the Hu army, we would definitely have a narrow escape!" 』

Cao Chun said in a deep voice, "In this battle, we should wash away the shame with snow, think about the people, and put the Lord's great cause first!" Or die in battle! Or rise from the ashes! Or bear infamy all your life! Or hold your head high and feel no shame in heaven and earth! 』

Cao Chun gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to fight to the death with someone!" Come with me! 』

…

…

Heavy snow obscured sight and silenced sound.

If it weren't for the vibrations on the ground, the Hu people who were anxious to withdraw from Gubeikou would not have been able to notice the approach of Cao's cavalry.

Su Li did not publicize his failure because he felt that the sneak attack would not succeed and would damage his reputation. Moreover, he felt that Cao Jun would not dare to chase them in such weather, so most of the Hu people did not know that they were fishing. Yang's failure.

If you don't know about failure, you will naturally not be afraid, and you will eventually be doomed.

Cao Jun attacks...

The Gubeikou passage collapsed for some unknown reason.

Other mountain roads are difficult to walk, and whether we take a detour to take the mountain-sea route or go back to Juyongkou, it will take a lot of time regardless of whether we can walk it or not.

Although it is said that the captives do not need to be given enough food and grass, the Hu people treat these migrants just like cattle and sheep, but the cattle and sheep are also considered their own wealth, and they were captured with great difficulty. , it is a pity that it was wasted like this.

But the problem is that in the ice and snow, the mountain road landslide in Gubeikou is basically frozen. When the barbarians arrested and expelled people, they would not even think about bringing axes, hoes and other tools with them. Now they have to rely on their hands to go there. Digging frozen soil is undoubtedly a fantasy, so the barbarians can only let these people disperse, look for trees around, then use tomahawks or swords to cut down the trees, and then make tools to dig out the landslide, trying to dig as much as possible into the landslide. They took away more belongings and drove away.

There is great strength in numbers. Under the threat of swords and guns, when the landslide at Gubeikou was gradually being opened again, Cao Chun led his men and launched a surprise attack at the dawn of the day!

In the entire southern section of Gubeikou, Cao Jun Military Academy and the Youbei nobles finally joined forces and launched a large-scale attack on the Hu people!

Cao Chun dispersed his soldiers widely, and all the horses had reached their highest speed. With a fierce energy, the soldiers leaned on their horses, holding their spears and carrying their long knives, and ran towards Gubeikou in the snow. to!

The Hu cavalry shouted in panic.

More shrill screams and horn horns were heard in the snow.

Under the heavy snow, the bows and arrows that the Hu people were proud of were as wet and weak as their horns.

The Hu people's moisture-proof equipment was obviously not as good as Cao's army.

The barbarians who were scattered around were alarmed. They either shouted, bared their teeth, or waved their swords and guns. They jumped up from their tents, their dens, or simply in the leeward fields. The horses were led by the horses, and the horses were rushed upwards. The chaos was like a group of frightened jackals.

The outermost group of the Hu people was naturally Yu Zhutan's troops.

When Yu Zhutan heard the warning sound, he quickly rushed out of the tent and gave a loud order: "Well done, the Han dog!" Just in time for revenge! Everyone is stable! Make people watch those driving mouths! Keep them from running around! Cao Jun doesn't have many people! Don't mess around! Anyone who disrupts the morale of the army will be beheaded! In addition, hurry up and report to Suli Great Chanyu and Mohuba Great Commander, asking them to come and outflank Cao Jun! Everyone is in their respective positions, I will fight Cao Jun here! If Cao Jun can't charge forward, he will be defeated! As long as he persists until the great chanyu and the great commander come, Cao's army will be defeated! 』

He felt that Suli had saved him before, so he would also save him this time...

The soldiers around Yu Zhutan immediately responded loudly and then spread orders around.

Heavy snow was falling, and all sight was blocked. Only people and horses could be seen leaping and shouting in the distance. Here and there, it was like two different worlds.

Yu Zhutan's personal guards stood up the large banner representing Yu Zhutan, and then tried hard to blow the horn, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not make the same powerful sound as before, but seemed to be Puff fart.

The humiliation under Yuyang City filled Yu Zhutan's heart with anger. He firmly believed that he would be able to hold on to this place and wait for the return of reinforcements from Su Li and Mo Huba!

At that time, all the shame can be washed away, and then Yu Zhutan will be welcomed into his supreme glory!

…

…

The southern section of Gubeikou is no longer a flat open land. It is divided into several areas separated by slightly raised hills.

If the line of sight is clear, then if the Hu scouts climb up and take a look, they will find that the total number of Cao's cavalry is actually not many. Although the battle line is wide, it is not thick enough.

It's a pity that when the snowflakes blur the vision and only the soldiers of Cao's army can be seen in front of them, it will give the illusion that there are thousands or even tens of thousands of Cao's soldiers.

Because Cao Jun’s cavalry really crowded the entire field of vision...

The arrows fired back by the Hu cavalry were limp and shaky as if they were drunk. They had neither accuracy nor power. Therefore, the Hu cavalry no longer used bows and arrows, and could only fight hand-to-hand with swords and guns.

But in this way, the Hu cavalry was equivalent to missing at least half of its strength.

The Hu people are not ignorant of the importance of hand-to-hand combat, but who of the ordinary herdsmen can spare a lot of time to train their own martial arts and hone their combat skills after their daily work?

The archery skills of most herdsmen are basically used to defend against the invasion of wild beasts in the desert, or to shoot prey. It is regarded as a survival skill. Therefore, once this skill is suppressed in snowy weather, it means that the barbarians The nightmare began to come.

As Cao Jun's cavalry charged, the Hu people who came into contact with Cao Jun first all fell down!

Although some of Cao's cavalry fell from their horses, it was obvious that the Hu people suffered more casualties. It was almost as if the crops had been harvested, and they were swept away in the blink of an eye.

In the early days of the Battle of Youzhou, the thoughts of the upper-level commanding military academy generals were wavering and hesitant, but the thoughts of ordinary Cao soldiers at the lower level were much simpler. Defeated by Changshan Zhao Yun, many of Cao's soldiers had nothing to say. Their skills were inferior and they had nothing to hide. However, facing these barbarians, almost all of Cao's soldiers were full of resentment.

Even if we don’t mention these Hu people who went south to plunder, those Hu people who originally defected to Cao Jun but ended up rebelling when fighting Zhao Yunchang Shan’s army also made Cao Jun’s cavalry feel the anger of being stabbed in the back!

Of course, if we really talk about the hatred between farming and nomads, it will basically never be clear, so many times they can only calculate their own differences. In the end, who has a harder knife and a bigger fist? That makes sense.

So now, let’s see who has the sharper knife!

With the fury of revenge, Cao Jun's soldiers fought bravely under the leadership of Cao Chun!

Yu Zhutan's troops stepped forward to intercept, and Cao Jun's soldiers continued to fall during the fighting and collision. However, these Cao Jun soldiers still charged forward, no matter how many fell around them, they just crushed them directly in front of Yu Zhutan. !

Although the people of Yuzhutan are still resisting as much as possible, the herdsmen from Yuzhutan to the lower level all show some panic and fear. Who would have thought that they were huddled in the city before and did not dare to move. The soldiers of Cao's army suddenly became so crazy now? !

Yu Zhutan previously claimed that he would resist Cao Jun here and that Cao Jun would be defeated, but now he no longer said such words, and even began to doubt whether he could persist until Su Li and Mo Huba arrived...

"quick! Go find the great Chanyu! Let them send troops to help me quickly! 』

Yu Zhutan shouted out urgently.

Although the temperature is now low, cold sweat still breaks out on Yu Zhutan's forehead and back.

Cao Jun's cavalry is getting closer and closer to Yu Zhudan's defense line.

A Cao Junqi finally appeared clearly in Yu Zhutan's sight. He shouted wildly, put the blood-stained spear under his arm, rushed out, and ran straight into Yu Zhutan's soldiers. in the defensive line.

Two spears pierced the body of the Cao Jun soldier, but the spear head of the Cao Jun cavalry also pierced the chest of a Yuzhu Dan bodyguard!

Behind him, more Cao Jun cavalry roared in and slammed into Yu Zhutan's defensive array!

Yu Zhutan's face turned pale. He realized that he had made a very serious mistake, which was to defend in place!

All his men are not good at defense, let alone standing in place to defend.

But on the one hand, Yu Zhutan was reluctant to bear the expulsion he brought, and on the other hand, he didn't take Cao Jun too seriously at first, but he didn't expect that Cao Jun's soldiers would charge so fiercely and madly, causing Yu Zhutan's outside line to collapse. It breaks down too quickly, and the inside line is not tough enough...

broken!

I can't hold it anymore!

Yu Zhutan turned his head frequently and looked back, hoping to see the figures of Su Li or Mo Huba's men, but for some reason, those "friendly troops" who had previously been brothers and sisters have not appeared...
