Baima County is located in the west of Dongjun County, and there are rolling hillsides in the territory, so it is named Baima Slope because it is located in Baima County.
In history, because Guan Yu killed the Hebei general Yan Liang in this battle, he became famous in history.
Along the Baimapo all the way to the north, about 30 miles after the journey is the Yellow River that flows endlessly, because of the turbulent water, so Baimajin has also become the only Yellow River crossing within a radius of 100 miles, on weekdays by Cao Wei will lead 3,000 people to guard, connecting the north and south of the Yellow River.
Recruit the table Zijing, Jizhou Anping County, about twenty-six or seventeen years old, initially worked for Yuan Shao, after the fall of Yuan Shao, he took refuge in Cao Cao, successively served under Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren, but did not get reused, after several rounds, he was ordered to come to garrison Baimajin last winter.
Knowing that Cao's army suffered a crushing defeat in Xuchang, including Xiahou Yuan, Xia Luqi and other Cao Wei generals, all died on the battlefield, and Wei lost more than 100,000 troops, the main army led by Cao Cao could not shake off the pursuit of the Han army.
It was guessed that the Han army was likely to send cavalry to attack Baimajin, so he ordered to arrange antlers and thorns on the post road in advance, and dig traps to prevent the Han army from storming Baimajin.
"Arrange more thorns and antlers on post roads and hillsides, and build more arrow towers and crossbow platforms on high places" After receiving unfavorable news, he led his soldiers to build fortifications in Baimajin for two or three consecutive days and nights, and arranged defenses to resist the attack that the Han army might launch at any time.
Just when the fortifications of Baimajin were almost built, a scout came to report in a panic: "General Qiyu, sure enough, there are Han cavalry covering it, and it is still about twenty miles away from Baimajin." ” Hearing this, he lifted his spirits, stroked his sword and asked loudly: "How many people are there, and who is the leader?"
The scout replied: "Back to the general's words, the enemy who came to attack is about 5,000 horsemen, under the banner of Guan, according to the villain's guess, the main general is likely to be Guan Ping, the son of Guan Yu or Guan Ling." ” Drawing his sword in his hand, he loudly encouraged morale: "No matter who he comes, we are deeply favored by the imperial court, and we vow to defend Baimajin to the death to ensure the retreat of the army.
Under the encouragement of the pull, the morale of the three thousand defenders was high, and they all showed expressions of death on their faces, and they all raised the weapons in their hands and responded loudly: "Swear to guard Baimajin, Jin is here, and Jin is lost."
With a wave of their swords, the three thousand defenders pulled their bows and arrows, or hid on both sides of the road, or climbed the arrow tower, one by one, as if facing the enemy, waiting for the Han army to attack.
In less than half an hour, the people in the south shouted that the horses were neighing, and the dust was rising, Guan Ling was ordered by Guan Yu to lead 5,000 cavalry to attack Baimajin, in an attempt to cut off Cao Cao's retreat.
The hooves of the five thousand cavalry rumbled, and the dust of the trampling flew, and they went straight to Baimajin.
But when they were about to approach Baimajin, they found that the post road was full of thorns, antlers, horse repelling guns and other defensive objects, and dozens of cavalry who rushed to the front fell into the trap, and everyone and horses died.
"Those who want to come to guard Baimajin are just some old, weak, sick and disabled, even if they are prepared, how can the soldiers charge with me" Guan Ling didn't pay attention to the defense in front of the horse, and kept swinging his sword to pick off the antlers and thorns, leading the cavalry to charge forward.
Although there are thorns along the way, how can they retreat without a fight?
Under the leadership of Guan Ling, the cavalry of the Han army followed suit, or brandished spears to pick up thorns, or raised their knives to cut down the antlers, and approached step by step.
"Poof", three more cavalry stepped on the trap, accompanied by a loud noise, dusty, even people and horses fell into the pit together, and then the blood and flesh were blurred by the hedgehog-like bamboo spear, the sorrowful screams of the war horses, the screams of the soldiers, heartbreaking, people can't bear to hear.
"Shoot the Arrow" Seeing that the Han army was getting closer and closer to the shooting range, he stood on an arrow tower, pulling the bowstring like a full moon, and shaking his hand was an arrow.
With the sound of the bowstring, a Han soldier fell from his horse.
"Whoosh" The three thousand Wei soldiers who had been prepared for a long time had a bow and crossbow in their hands, and with the command of the draw, the arrows were fired in unison, and the dense crossbow arrows were sprinkled on the heads of the charging Han army like flying locusts.
The cavalry of the Han army had to pick off the antlers and thorns on the ground, defend against the crossbow arrows overhead, and dodge the ubiquitous traps.
Guan Ling led a fierce attack after not only failed to capture Baimajin, but lost more than 500 cavalry, and then look at the defense of the lead move is still solid, from south to north about five or six miles of continuous distance, all using antlers, thorns, traps, arrow towers mix and match layout, even if Guan Ling breaks through a section of defense, the defenders can still continue to retreat, with the super long defensive belt to the attacking Han army to cause continuous damage.
Judging from the current casualty ratio, if Guan Ling wants to completely break through the defense line of five or six miles, the 5,000 cavalry led by him will probably be killed and wounded, otherwise he can only return with a feather.
"I didn't expect this defender to be so tenacious, and the fortifications are so impregnable" Guan Ling saw that the situation was not good, shook his head and sighed, and decided to withdraw his troops, "At present, it seems that I can only go back to report to my father, and then make another decision." ” Having made up his mind, Guan Ling turned his horse and led more than 4,000 Han cavalry to turn around and head south, leaving behind only the battlefield of wolf smoke, and the corpses of more than 500 soldiers and the wounded war horses wailing in the wind.
"Finally repelled the Han army, brothers did a good job" looked at the retreating Han soldiers, led the high-spirited, and loudly celebrated this hard-won victory with the soldiers under his command.
Guan Ling's division was unfavorable, and he returned from Baimajin, retreated to Baimapo, and reported to Guan Yu, who was camped here: "Father, the guards of Baimajin took precautions, arranged the fortifications in advance, stretched five or six miles from north to south, blocked the road with antlers and thorns, and built a large number of arrow towers and crossbow platforms on the highlands on both sides, which are simply impregnable.
The child's attack is unfavorable, and he has come to ask for sin."
Guan Yu stroked his beard and said: "It's okay, since you can't take Baimajin, then block Baimapo."
According to the scout's report, the main army led by Cao Cao has passed through Changyuan, and there are still 70 miles away from Baimapo, and it is expected to arrive around noon tomorrow, and his father swore to kill a general of Cao's army in this formation. ” Zhao Yun arched his hand and said: "Cao Cao is now exhausted, Yun is willing to obey the dispatch of the prince, block Cao Cao's retreat, kill him and make it difficult to return, and strive to pacify Hebei as soon as possible and dominate the world."
Guan Yu stroked his beard and laughed: "Haha can get Zilong's assistance, Guan is like a tiger with wings, even if Cao Cao inserts wings this time, he must not be allowed to escape." ” After some discussion, Guan Yu decided to divide the 23,000 cavalry led by him into five routes, self-unifying the Chinese army, Zhao Yun and Guan Yinping on the right, Guan Ling and Guan Ping on the left, eat and drink early tomorrow, line up on the white horse slope to block Cao's army, block Cao Cao's retreat with all his might, and wait for the 200,000 army led by Zhuge Liang to catch up, flank back and forth, and strive to annihilate the main force of the 110,000 Cao army in one fell swoop.
Just as Guan Yu was fighting his troops at Baimapo, a group of more than 3,000 rogues quietly approached the county seat of Liyang on the north bank of the Yellow River in the night, opened the city gate in one fell swoop, and killed Liang Mao, the guard appointed by Cao Ren.
It turned out that this tributary Kou was the old Yuan clan of Yuan Shangxiao, and when he learned that Cao Cao had suffered a crushing defeat in Xuchang, he thought that the opportunity had come, so he rose up and attacked Liyang, killing the defender Liang Mao in one fell swoop.
About ten years ago, Yuan Shao died in Qingzhou, and Cao Cao took the opportunity to swallow Hebei, collect Yuan Shao's old department, and took Yuan Shao's wife Liu as a concubine, and adopted Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang as adopted sons.
Although Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were unwilling, the general trend had gone, and people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and they could only recognize the thief as their father, and temporarily became Cao Cao's adopted son.
Later, because of the death of Cao Pi, there was a conflict between the Han and Wei, and a medium-sized battle broke out in Xuchang, Qianjun and other places, and the Wei generals led by Cao Ren and Yu Ban were quickly beaten by Xue Rengui, Qin Qiong, Zhao Yun and others, Yuan Xi died on the battlefield, and Yuan Shang was captured alive in front of the battle.
Just when Yuan Shang thought that his death was not far off, he did not expect Liu Wei to acquit him, and also provided funds for his activities, so that he could return to Hebei to recruit Yuan's old department and plot against Cao Yuan.
Although for Yuan Shang, Cao Cao and Liu Wei are enemies, but Yuan Shang hates Cao Cao more, and immediately secretly returned to Jizhou with the money and silk materials presented by Liu Wei to recruit Yuan Shao's old department.
So Yuan Shang did not hesitate to rise up, led more than 3,000 Yuan Shao's old troops to attack Liyang City, killed the guard Liang Mao in one fell swoop, and prepared to continue to encourage the people to join the army, expand the scale, and then attack Yecheng to the north to recover the land that originally belonged to the Yuan family.
Yuan Shang put on his helmet and hung his armor, his face was full of spirit, and he stood in the dawn of dawn and loudly encouraged his morale: "Soldiers, Hebei is our Yuan family's land, and it belongs to the famous nobles of our fourth and third dukes.
The Japanese prince of the city was broken and became the emperor, and he was the founder of the country."
Most of these old Yuan family departments are some wine bags and rice bags, mediocre people with mouse eyes, because they have no ability, they can't be reused, because they can't be reused, so they hate Cao Cao and miss Yuan Shao's kindness in the past.
At this moment, after listening to Yuan Shang's ambition, these people were all excited, thunderous with joy, and shouted one after another: "Take Yecheng and support the son to ascend the throne and become the emperor" Yuan Shang was overjoyed, his handsome face couldn't hide a smile, and he waved to the old part at the foot of the city wall: "If you support me as the emperor, you will be the founder of the country."
At this moment, suddenly a few fast horses galloped over, and went straight to Yuan Shang to dismount and report: "I waited for the order of the general to come to pay homage to the son, and the general missed Yuan Gong's kindness for a long time, and I dare not forget it one day."
Knowing that Gongzi raised an army against Cao, he was willing to lead his troops to surrender, but the Baimajin on the opposite side had a lot of heavy grain and grass, so General Xiang hoped that Gongzi could lead his troops to escort and replenish military supplies."

Yuan Shang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Haha, I am worried that there is no grain and grass baggage, and with the assistance of the Son Sutra, the major events can be determined, and the soldiers are ready to cross the river with me to Baimajin to escort the grain and grass baggage." ” t1706231537:
