The two armies came in a hurry, gradually approaching, and the two sides approached a distance of three or four hundred paces, and then slowly stopped.
Under Zhang He's command, the army of 60,000 was lined up in turn, with sword and shield soldiers in front, spearmen in the rear, archers and crossbow archers in the back, and cavalry and baggage battalions in the back.
This military horse, which has been formed for many years, but rarely participates in the big war, obviously shows a desire for battle, everyone has an eager look in their eyes, and they tightly grasp the weapons in their hands, and they are about to rush out when Zhang He gives an order, and they do not put the Cao army on the opposite side in their eyes.
Since the debut of the Gongsun Army, they have not tasted a single defeat, and even the newly built Sanssouci Army can make contributions to break the city, how can their Taiping Army show weakness The Cao army on the opposite side also lined up in formation, still with the baggage battalion in front and the elite soldiers behind, facing the Taiping army on the opposite side, under the encouragement of the Cao army's generals, they let out an overwhelming shout.
"Flatten the thief camp and capture Zhang He alive" "Flatten the thief camp and capture Zhang He alive" "Flatten the thief camp and capture Zhang He alive" The soldiers of the Cao army shouted loudly, and at the same time held high the weapons in their hands, wantonly hustle and flamboyance in front of the Taiping army, in order to strengthen their momentum and drum up their military spirit.
The noisy shouts and the forest-like swords and halberds not only did not make the Taiping army show timidity, but even more aroused the Taiping army's desire to fight.
The myth that the Gongsun army has not tasted defeat will never break the silence of the generals in their hands, and they all look at the banner of the Chinese army and Zhang He under it, waiting for the order to attack.
Zhang He was wearing embroidered robes and gold armor all over his body, holding a hundred steel-refining long knives in his hands, looking coldly at the Cao Jun formation opposite, and a subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly, the long knife in his hand was raised high, and the audience immediately stopped, and all the soldiers were excited in their hearts, just waiting for Zhang He's order, they were about to burst out.
However, as Zhang He's cold voice sounded, what was conveyed layer by layer was not an order to attack, but a simple and strict military order.
The military order is very simple, with only nine words: "Do not rob grain, only kill the enemy, and behead if you violate the order." ” The military order was quickly transmitted to all battalions, units, and tuns.
Zhang He took a deep breath and shouted: "Beat the drum and attack the whole army" Knock knock The war drums sounded fiercely, as if they were striking on the heartstrings of the Taiping army, and the passion of the soldiers was instantly ignited, converging into one word "kill" The dust was raised, and the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen in front of them, one by one, were holding their weapons, and they were hula and surging forward like a tide, and the ground under their feet was trampled by them and made a rumbling sound, like a huge thunder. 60,000 soldiers and horses, 60,000 hearts eager to fight, with the belief of victory, poured towards Cao's army, and after the army, Cao Cao, who was standing on the White Horse Mountain, couldn't help but change color.
The Taiping Army, this notorious mixed army of infantry and cavalry under the command of Gongsun Bai, will actually be as fierce as this However, his tactics this time were not originally hard, so he didn't take them to heart, but just observed the situation on the battlefield with cold eyes.
Sure enough, the 60,000 Taiping army broke into the Cao army like a tiger descending from the mountain, and the front army of the Cao army was composed of people, miscellaneous soldiers and auxiliaries of the baggage battalion, as well as old and weak soldiers.
Woooooooo At this moment, the rear army sounded the horn of withdrawal, and the desolate and distant sound of the horn swept through the ranks of the 100,000-strong army like a hurricane.
"Damn, what's going on," a Cao Jun marquis scolded viciously in the rear army.
The people who lined up in the rear army were the elite of Cao's army, and they had always been the vanguard of the charge, but now they were ranked behind the army, and they had not yet shown their skills, and they didn't even see the appearance of the enemy clearly, so they heard the horn of the withdrawal of troops, telling him how not to be annoyed However, the annoyance was annoyed, and the Cao army had to change the rear army into the former army, desperately fleeing in the direction of Baima Mountain, and those people, miscellaneous soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, etc., directly abandoned the grain and grass carts and baggage carts, and fled for their lives, after all, money and grain are things outside the body, and saving their lives is the most important thing.
Seeing the enemy fleeing, the Taiping army was even more excited and screamed, and continued to chase and kill without stopping.
When a Taiping soldier passed by one of the grain trucks, he stopped for a moment, and was immediately pulled away by his comrade next to him, only to hear the comrade shouting angrily: "You don't want to die, dare to disobey military orders" The man was terrified, and hurriedly followed the queue and continued to rush forward.
In a baggage cart, copper coins were scattered all over the ground, trampled into the ground all the way by the Taiping army, and no one bent down to pick them up.
However, there are still accidents after all, a baggage car is not known to be hit by whom, the hole in an uproar spilled a large number of copper coins, a Taiping sergeant eyes lit up, instantly forgot the military order, stopped and pounced on the baggage car, a lot of copper coins grabbed into his arms, provoked the soldiers next to him have moved, from time to time someone wants to make a fortune with him, after all, under the urging of the comrades behind him, still go forward. burst Blood burst out, and the greedy soldier who was so happy that his eyes lit up was cut off by a military marquis, and his body fluttered a few times and fell to the ground, still holding two copper coins tightly in his hands.
"Violator of the order," the marquis yelled murderously, so startled that the surrounding sergeants did not dare to look this way.
The headless soldier who fell in a pool of blood with copper coins in his hand became a bloody example, so that the latecomers were silent, and they did not dare to look at the money and food with their eyes at all.
The 60,000 army swept in, and the 90,000 army only hated that his father and mother were missing two legs, and desperately fled towards the White Horse Mountain.
Cao Cao's face on the mountain gradually changed, becoming extremely gloomy and pale.
He gave up nearly 10,000 grains and grass, 200,000 coins, but it did not achieve the expected effect, and even those Gongsun soldiers did not even stop their footsteps, and rushed through the grain carts and baggage carts, as if the scattered land was not grain and grass, not money, but dung.
In this era of war and chaos, and the livelihood of the people is extremely difficult, there will still be soldiers who do not love money and food Cao Cao, who used soldiers like a god and had no last resort, finally miscalculated this time In his expectation, these soldiers of the Gongsun Army, like his soldiers, should be from poor people, and when they see so much money and food, they should compete to grab it and make a mess, so that he can lead the army to a beautiful counterattack, defeat the enemy, and then send peerless generals like Xu Chu and Dian Wei to kill Zhang He in the chaos and return, so that this war will come to a perfect end.
However, the cruel reality is that he not only miscalculated Zhang He, but also miscalculated the Taiping Army.
Zhang He was originally second only to Zhang Liao among the five good generals, a peerless famous general, not the brave and unscrupulous Wen Chou in history, and his ability to govern the army was better than that of Cao Ying's generals.
The Taiping Army is not the Hebei Army under Yuan Shao in history, which is as poor as a beggar.
After Gongsun Bai's governance over the years, the north has long been much richer than the five states of the Central Plains under Cao Cao's rule, and the Taiping Army, as Gongsun Bai's direct military horse, has always had good food, not only can eat every day, but also have meat every three or five times, and the military salary is also expensive.
Therefore, although the Taiping army is tempted by money and food, since there are military orders in front of them, and they are more eager to establish military exploits, how can they break the order because of these money and food Zhang He danced his sword and slapped his horse, led the army to gallop all the way, and saw that all the Cao troops went to the White Horse Mountain one after another, and the mountain was like a cloud, and the defense was tight, so he hurriedly reined in the horse's feet and shouted: "Give the order to go down and stop the pursuit" Woooooooo The horn sounded, and although the Gongsun army was intoxicated with the passion of fighting bravely to kill the enemy, they had to stop and turn around and retreat.
After a while, the 60,000 Taiping troops had all gathered under Zhang He's banner, and the array was strict and solemn.
A military horse flew over and whispered something beside Zhang He.
Zhang He grinned and said loudly: "Order the baggage battalion, collect the enemy's money and food, count the quantity, and record it truthfully in the account.
The military commander immediately complied with his promise.
Zhang He sat proudly on the BMW, looked at Cao Jun on White Horse Mountain, suddenly understood something, laughed, turned around and issued a military order to the herald behind him.
After a while, at the foot of White Horse Mountain, there were immediately shouts and laughter.
"Cao Gong's clever plan determines the world, and he loses money and food and soldiers" "Cao Gong's clever plan determines the world, and he loses money and food and soldiers" "Cao Gong's clever plan determines the world, and he loses money and food and soldiers" In this battle, Cao's army lost one or two thousand people, although it was not injured, it was a great blow to morale.
And 5,000 grains and grass and 200,000 money are not much, after all, Cao Cao is now a hero who sits on the land of the five states of the Central Plains, and he is not the broken prince in history when he was at war with Yuan Shao, but it is not pleasant to give it to the opponent in vain.
Coupled with Zhang He's mean yin damage, Cao Cao's face was even more unbearable.
The plan to show weakness and lure the enemy failed, Zhang He had already set up a tight array at the foot of the mountain, covered by strong crossbows around him, even if he sent tigers and leopards to attack strongly, he might not be able to please him.
And White Horse Mountain is not a place to stay for a long time, once Gongsun Bai's rear army follows, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold this place, and once Gongsun Bai's 30,000 cavalry arrives, it will be difficult to retreat at that time.
Therefore, in the early morning of the next day, Cao Cao ordered the army to quietly retreat from Baima Mountain, return to the division and cross the crossing, and when Zhang He found out, there were only empty camps left on Baima Mountain.
Of course, Zhang He naturally did not dare to lead his troops to chase after him, whenever the army withdrew, there must be a fierce general to guard, maybe there are tigers and leopards riding such elite horses behind, Zhang He naturally did not dare to act rashly, and could only watch Cao Jun leave.

Zhang He stationed the army in Baima Mountain at the moment, just taking advantage of the camp left by the Cao army, and then sent people to Pegasus to pass the book to Gongsun Bai, waiting for news.
Two days later, Gongsun Bai led 30,000 elite cavalry, 50,000 worry-free troops and 20,000 county soldiers to gather together with Zhang He's 60,000 soldiers and horses, and continued to march towards Yangwu.
In Yangwu City, it was empty, not only did Cao's army and horses retreat, but even the people were forced to move away by Cao Cao, leaving only an empty city for Gongsun Bai.
Gongsun Bai entered the city with Guo Jia and Zhao Yun, and Guo Jia beside him said: "Cao thief has led the army to retreat to Guandu, and now in the place of Guandu, there are 250,000 thief troops, and the place where Duke Wei and Cao Thief fought a decisive battle is probably in Guandu." ” Gongsun Bai slowly raised his head and glanced at the empty Yangwu City, and his heart was awe-inspiring.
The battle of Guandu, the battle of Guandu, is this Cao Cao's fate, or his fate, after all, there will be such a battle here, but in this battle, who will die is not finished
