Cao Cao and Liu Bei are old rivals, from the second year of Xingping when Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, Liu Bei took advantage of the situation, and finally under the intervention of the imperial court, won the three counties of Dongjun, Chenliu and Jiyin, and the grudge between the two sides was settled.
Therefore, after seeing the opponent's flag clearly, Cao Cao did not hesitate and went directly to war.
Sun Ce will have this or that scruples, that is because Sun Ce's current status is still appointed by the imperial court, he must consider the attitude of the imperial court, Cao Cao is different, as an old prince, although Cao Cao is also vacillating in his heart, but he does not attach so much importance to the attitude of the imperial court, especially when he encounters Liu Bei, an old opponent.
Liu Bei is recognized as the imperial family is right, but so what, that is because Liu Bei dedicated the four counties of meritorious, when Liu Yu died in Youzhou, the imperial court directly ordered Yuan Shao to deal with Gongsun Zhan, that is the person Liu Yu is the Han family clan of the root red Miao Zheng, the uncle of the Han Emperor, regardless of reputation or status, for the royal family, are very important, Liu Xie has no way not to pay attention to it, but although Liu Bei has the name of the clan, but it is only a clan, in terms of influence, it is not comparable to Liu Yu, even if he dies in battle, it is also a sacrifice for the country, the two armies are fighting, and casualties are inevitable, No matter what the final outcome is, even if the imperial court wins, Cao Cao doesn't believe that Liu Association will force the princes to death for Liu Bei's desperate efforts, which will only make the princes resist desperately, with Cao Cao's understanding of Liu Xie, he will not do this kind of thing.
What's more, this time in the war, Cao Cao didn't plan to fight to the death with the court, and now he met Liu Bei is also fate, beating Liu Bei, proving that he Cao Cao has contributed, and in the next battle with the imperial court, he has a reason to work and not contribute.
And in terms of the overall situation, if Liu Bei is allowed to go back, join up with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and defend the pass, Liu Bei's troops and horses will play a big role, and now they can block Liu Bei outside the pass, which is not a good thing for the coalition army.
The four counties of Yingchuan are already empty, so Liu Bei's value to the imperial court is not so important.
"Whew" With Cao Cao's order, in the melodious sound of the horn, the black Cao army quickly opened the formation and began to crush in the direction of Liu Bei's army, this time, Cao Cao used the trick of drama Zhicai, the momentum was very large, and 70,000 troops were dispatched, which was almost all of Cao Cao's strength pulled out except for the necessary guards.
In the large array of Liu Bei's army, Liu Bei, who had just converged Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, flashed a touch of coldness in his eyes, glanced at the weak Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who was injured in the shoulder blade, and then looked at the Cao army that had formed a formation on the opposite side and was pressing over to this side, Liu Bei knew that he could no longer retreat, retreat was death, and his 30,000 army would be chased and cut by Cao Cao's army, and eventually become a one-sided slaughter.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Bei knew that at this time, it was time to work hard.
Slowly pulling out the double-strand sword that had been fighting with him for many years from his waist, Liu Bei said angrily: "Two years ago, in the face of the Cao army, we could only rely on the advantages of the city wall to compete with the Cao army, the Cao army is indeed strong, there is no doubt about this, as an opponent, we should face the strength of the opponent." ” He looked around left and right, and watched a soldier who was a little overwhelmed by Cao Jun's momentum look at him, Liu Bei raised the double-strand sword in his hand, and said loudly: "But today is no longer two years ago, and we are no longer the miscellaneous army that was put together at the beginning, we are also elite, why should we be afraid of him" "Not bad" After being simply bandaged by the military doctor, Zhang Fei, who began to be alive again, turned over, straddled the horse, raised the Zhangba snake spear in his hand, and roared roughly: "Who is not raised by his father, why are you afraid of him?"
Ignoring Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's eyes swept to the three armies, and said loudly: "This battle is the first battle for our army to be attached to the imperial court, even if there are many enemies, we will never retreat, the Han and the thief will not stand together, Wang Ye is prosperous today, so he will use the sword in his hand to tell Cao Cao, tell him that those elites, we are also elites, and stronger than them" "Roar Roar" The morale of the officers and men of the three armies was stimulated by Liu Bei, and he kept waving the weapons in his hands and letting out a roar.
Liu Bei said loudly: "Array, today, I will make a break with Cao Jun" "Array" Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, Zhou Cang, and Guan Ping quickly commanded the soldiers to begin to line up, and the 30,000 troops quickly formed a huge phalanx, shouting neat trumpets, and began to push forward under the pressure brought by the Cao army.
The brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, since the retreat is death, then you might as well fight, although the enemy is outnumbered, but the people are full of 10,000, there is no shore, this kind of battle that adds up to 100,000 people, the factors that determine victory or defeat are not as simple as counting the heads, morale is the most important.
The two armies, like two torrents, continued to advance in the wilderness, and soon, they both entered the range of the opponent's archers, and the archers on both sides stopped advancing almost at the same time, and then under the command of the generals of both sides, they quickly bent their bows and arrows, and one by one the cold arrow clusters pointed obliquely at the sky, and then with the order of the generals of both sides, rows of dense arrow arrays swept into the air, staggered into a dense rain of arrows in the air, and the whole sky darkened at that moment.
Then the clusters of arrows from both sides each screeched down on the enemy camp with a scream of death.
"Shielding" Almost at the same time, the generals of both sides gave the order to protect themselves, and one after another strong shields were raised, and clusters of arrows falling from the sky continued to fall on the dense shield array.
Some were directly bounced away, some arrow clusters fell through the gaps, shooting through the enemy's body, leaving a gap in the dense shield array, and some arrow clusters seemed to be extremely powerful, easily penetrating the enemy's shield, nailing the opponent's people with shields together.
"Forward" The sword and shield men in the front row began to advance against the rain of arrows, and the archers stopped in place and continued to fire arrows at the opposing camp.
As Liu Bei said, after two years of hard struggle, although Liu Bei finally chose to return to the imperial court, in the past two years, he has also trained a strong-willed and unyielding elite division in the process of struggling to survive, which is no worse than Cao Jun.
Arrows rained down, and people kept falling to the ground with arrows, but the soldiers on both sides continued to advance under the command of the generals on both sides, war, which needs to be cold-blooded, infantry combat, and the dependence on the formation is great, whoever has a chaotic formation, who will lose, Cao Cao understands this truth, so he ignores the life and death of the soldiers, as a prince, and also the top commander in the world, he is very clear about the truth that Ci is not in charge of the army, and Liu Bei, obviously also understands.
The two got acquainted from the time when they were fighting Dong, and they became acquainted when they attacked Xuzhou, and they were enemies and confidants to each other, and they knew very well the opponent's ability, so at this time, none of them had a moment of soft-heartedness, and their purpose was only one, that is, to defeat the opponent Under the baptism of arrow rain, the front row of troops finally began to meet each other in short combat, and the two troops advancing opposite each other collided fiercely like two torrents, and in an instant, the bleak blood flowers continued to bloom on the battlefield, the collision of weapons, the collision of shields, the wails of the wounded, the reprimand of the generals, and the roar that seemed to be everywhere constituted a death music.
No matter how you advocate the justice of war, but the root of war represents death, it represents killing, at this moment, life becomes cheap, death fills the heaven and earth, as if the endless rain of arrows continues to deprive the soldiers of both sides of their lives, the ground begins to muddy, and the soil has gradually lost its original color.
For the Jiangdong soldiers who have been bullying some small princes in Jiangdong, this kind of large-scale army collision is probably the first time to see it, looking at the front of the battlefield, as if an invisible meat grinder, constantly harvesting the lives of the soldiers on both sides, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Zhou Yu also gave birth to an inexplicable palpitation.
Looking back left and right, the faces of the Jiangdong soldiers were full of shock, and Zhou Yu suddenly felt that this time, it was too right to take them to stay.
In the future, Jiangdong will develop again, and it will definitely go north to fight with the princes of the Central Plains, and this kind of large-scale group battle will be what they must face in the future, and it is also Jiangdong's shortcoming.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yu carefully observed the changes in the battle formations of the two sides, as the top commander of Jiangdong, he found that he still had a lot to learn, Jiangdong soldiers could not always go to water warfare, water warfare was proficient, only Jiangdong could be a corner of peace, only with a strong land army, Jiangdong soldiers could really go out of Jiangdong and become a force enough to compete with the princes of the world and the imperial court.
"Boom" There was a sudden tremor on the ground, Zhou Yu hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw a cavalry fighting from the flank, and the huge cavalry formation quickly assembled into a huge cavalry formation in the direction of the flank of the battlefield, wrapped in the power of crushing everything, bypassing the fierce battlefield and sweeping towards the archers on the rear wing of Liu Bei's army.
Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, in this case, once Liu Beijun's rear formation is disrupted, the result will be that Liu Bei will collapse on the whole line and lose all the games, how will Liu Bei respond But seeing Liu Bei's military formation, an infantry quickly came out, under the command of a white-clothed and white-armored general, at the moment when the opponent's cavalry appeared, he went out of battle at the same time, and quickly arranged into a dense phalanx, changing the formation so quickly, so fast, even Zhou Yu had to praise, Liu Bei was able to compete with Cao Cao's strong army for two years surrounded by enemies, not without reason, for Cao Cao's tricks, Liu Bei obviously had a countermeasure, but I didn't know that this seemingly well-trained infantry, Whether it can block the charge of Cao's incomparable cavalry t1706231537:
