Chapter 2066 The core goal, on the battlefield
In Xiangyang, Xiahou Dun occupied the original Jingzhou Mufu mansion.
After Cao Cao went south, Xiahou Dun began to integrate Jingzhou at the fastest speed. On the one hand, he provided food and grass for Cao Cao to go south, and on the other hand, he supplemented the basic finances. And at this time, the news of Cao Hong''s contact with the enemy was transmitted to Xiangyang.
The hussars left Wuguan and went all the way south. Xu Huang was the main general, and together with Huang Zhong from Wancheng, they played the banner of pacifying Jingzhou for Liu Qi and taking back their homeland. They put on a big formation.
In the hall where Liu Biao originally lived, almost all the utensils were removed, leaving only the huge wooden map of Jingzhou in the middle, on which various marks have been repainted, and the newly added logo of hussars and horses.
Xiahou Dun stood in front of the wooden figure, pondering for a long time.
Xiahou Dun is trying to figure out the ultimate goal of Hussar General Fei Qian''s move...
Normally speaking, everyone has their own core purpose, and everything they do will be carried out around this core purpose. In other words, it is probably everyone’s three views.
Sometimes looking at what a person does is not just looking at the final result, but looking at what the original purpose and core goal of this person is during the process.
Everything has two sides, and just mentioning one aspect alone is often a bit extreme.
Some barbers are very good at giving examples, and they will use special examples to veto some general principles. For example, Song Huizong was a cowardly emperor, and he did not end well in history, and he did not do his job as an emperor well. However, Gang Jing will say how good Song Huizong is, and he has created a thin gold body. Can other emperors have such artistic achievements? Who said that it is good to be an emperor and fight every day. Is it good that Emperor Sui Yang likes to fight? Isn''t national integration not bad?
Therefore, it is very important to find the right location and determine the core purpose. What kind of position is, what kind of things to do, the saying that the **** determines the head also has a certain truth. For Xiahoudun, he also knows that his core goal is to stabilize the northern part of Jingzhou and provide good backup support for Cao Cao. Everything else is for this purpose.
So, for Hussar General Fei Qian, what is the core goal of this military operation?
Is it really for Jingzhou?
Or for some other purpose?
『Report! The soldiers outside the hall reported loudly, "Cai Zhizhong has arrived!" 』
Xiahou Dun turned around from the wooden map, with a smile on his face: "De Gui, don''t be too polite! Come on, come get some refreshments! 』
Cai Hao was a little surprised, but soon put a smile on his face, but he raised his vigilance in his heart. He didn''t reduce the etiquette because of Xiahou Dun''s enthusiasm, and he saluted meticulously, "I have seen General Xiahou." 』
『We are all from our own family, so why be so polite! 』Xiahou Dun smiled and beckoned Cai Mao to sit down.
Among the soldiers in Jingzhou, most of the young and strong were taken away by Cao Cao. Those who are now staying in the Jingbei area of ??Xiangyang, it can be said that the quality of the soldiers is not very good. It is undoubtedly a relatively difficult thing to fight with more troops.
Since this is the case, Xiahou Dun changed his mind.
After exchanging greetings that seemed indispensable but seemed unnecessary, Xiahou Dun looked at Cai Mao and said slowly, "There are hussars committing crimes in Nanyang today, and they are afraid of looting in Jingbei. I am very worried." 』
Cai Mao felt a restraint in his heart, and bowed his head to agree.
『In order to prevent the elders and elders in Jingzhou from being caught in the flames of war and suffering innocent disasters...』Xiahou Duntu showed his poor dagger, "You can move the elders in Jingbei to Xiangyang to avoid disaster! This can avoid military disasters! 』
Cai Mao was startled, raised his head, his eyes widened.
Xiahou Dun lowered his eyebrows, the cheeks twitched twice, and smiled, "What do you think of De Gui?" 』
Cai Mao felt cold all over his body: "General Xiahou...why use this strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the wild..."
Xiahou Dun laughed and said, "How can it be said that it is solid and clear?" Just to protect the elders in Jingzhou, so as not to suffer from the folks! ’ Then he stared at Cai Mao, ‘Could it be that... Degui doesn’t want to protect the people of Jingzhou? 』
Cai Hao''s complexion was iron, and in the end he could only nod in agreement with Xiahou Dun''s strategy.
Xiahou Dun clapped his palms and said: "So, today I ask the commander of Degui to coordinate, and before the hussars arrive, protect the old Jingbei villagers and go to Xiangyang to avoid disaster!" 』
Cai Mao left the festival hall and went outside the mansion.
Cai Zhong hurriedly followed, peeping at Cai Mao''s expression, "Brother, is something difficult? 』
Cai Mao briefly explained Xiahou Dun''s arrangement. Cai Zhong couldn''t help showing signs of color, and immediately said in a low voice cautiously: "Isn''t it already agreed, this Jingzhou...if all of the Wubao, the northern manor in Xiangyang, will be relocated...This, this is really...or else..."
Cai Mao let out a long breath, glared at Cai Zhong viciously, and stared back at the last part of Cai Zhong''s words. After a long time, he gave a wry smile and said in a low voice, "If the Hussars really want to take Jingzhou, you can They won''t just use this amount of soldiers and horses... Besides, Xia Hou is a brave and persistent generation, and all the people in Xiangyang are Chen Liu''s children. If the hussars come here, is there any reason not to fight to the death? This order is nothing more than a test...』
Cai Zhong was taken aback for a moment, obviously understood something, and was somewhat embarrassed.
『Xiahou is also a veteran general in the army, how can he not know the harm of strong walls and clear fields? ’Cai Mao’s voice was so low that only Cai Zhong, who was close by, could barely hear him, ‘But Xiahou only wants to keep Xiangyang, the rest...’
Cai Zhong also said in a low voice: "Brother, do you want to be with Kuai..."
Cai Hao pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Master Kuai naturally hoped that Mrs. Cao could acquire Jingnan, so how could..."
『Then what should we do? ”Cai Zhong said urgently.
『So what? Cai Hao said, "The battle of Jingzhou, the key point, is not in Jingzhou... If Cao Jun wins, you and I will be... If Hussars... Hey, Jingzhou is a good place, and now it is messed up. After so many years, the Cai family... Hey... Isn''t it a last resort? Take care of your eyes first! 』
Even though there are thousands of things to think about, the Cai Mao and Cai clan in Xiangyang are not the only ones who can only take care of the immediate matter first, and Cao Hong who fought against Liaohua and Zhuge at the military fortress.
Whether he can achieve decisive results, break through Liao Hua''s defensive position, and repel Liao Hua and Zhuge became a difficult problem before Cao Hong. talk.
As soon as the two sides clashed, Cao Hong was also surprised by the defensive capabilities of Liao Hua and Zhuge, not to mention that Cao Hong still had a certain numerical advantage, and the entire military base was not yet fully formed. According to common sense, it should be Occupying a certain advantage, but the following facts made Cao Hong and Cao Jun realize the cruelty of reality.
Liao Hua led the soldiers. Under the attack of Cao Jun, he only retreated a little, and then he stood firm, and his morale was not shaken at all due to the small number of people. Even after defeating Cao Jun''s attack, the morale remained small Climbing up, hitting weapons and shouting, it seems that the fierce fighting just now did not have any consumption or impact.
The autumn sun has already moved westward from the sky. The sun slantly sprinkled on the formations of both sides, stained on the armor pockets, and stayed on the tip of the knife and gun. Every ray of light seemed to be reflecting. Sen Han''s killing intent.
Cao Hong finally took out his final trump card and sent the heavy armored soldiers directly under him into the battle.
Cao Jun''s heavy armored soldiers are the elite of Qingzhou soldiers. They are veterans of many battles with double armor, spears and large shields, and short halberds. Whether they are charging or defending, they are the backbone of Cao Jun''s infantry. As a mainstay, he once turned the tide in an extremely bad situation, and also broke the deadlock and eliminated the opponent''s array to determine the final victory on the battlefield.
The smell of blood was extremely strong, permeating the entire battlefield. Cao Hong has long been used to everything on this battlefield. He fixedly glanced at the battle flag with the word "Liao" on the opposite hill, and seemed to be able to see the commander opposite who had been directing and dispatching the entire army.
『With a certain armor! 』Cao Hong roared, motioning for the guards to put on thick armor for him. Cao Hong''s force value is also not low, and he fought in and out of the chaotic army back then, so he has today''s prestige.
『General! The guard said eagerly, "General..."
『Stop talking nonsense! Armor with a certain! 』Cao Hong stared over and interrupted the guard, as if the next moment if the guard resisted the order, he would be slashed with a knife.
Cao Hong was anxious, really anxious.
The sun has already set to the west, if he can''t defeat the defenders on the general base before nightfall, then he must return to Fancheng to defend, because Xu Huang going south will not give Cao Hong more time, if he stays here, The loser must be Cao Hong himself!
Cao Hong never imagined that such a small military base, a young general with no obvious name, could block himself here!
Why?
Cao Hong''s heart was filled with anger...
Is Lao Tzu''s knife bad, or Lao Tzu''s horse is too thin? Where were you when Lao Tzu wore the Yellow Turban? Where were you guys when I beat Yuan Shu up and made him howl? Now that you are popping up one by one like this, are you here to bully me for getting old?
I can still fight!
In the dim sunset, the **** colors all over the battlefield are extraordinarily dazzling. From the rising of the sun to the setting of the sun, the continuous battle undoubtedly consumes a lot of energy. Now the stamina and physical strength of both sides are also close to the bottom line, so this time the attack launched by Cao Hong himself, when the soldiers of the two sides collided in one place At that time, except for the initial roar, both sides agreed that they did not continue to shout, as if they wanted to use their last strength not to roar, but to fight. The two ferocious beasts are biting each other, every minute and every second, every tooth and sharp claw is biting off and grabbing a piece of flesh and blood from the other side!
Even though there is no clear instruction, both sides seem to realize that this is the last collision of flesh and blood and will. If you take a step forward, you will live, and if you take a step back, you will die. Everyone squeezed out the last part of their strength to wrestle each other , killing each other, biting each other in one place.
In the previous battles, if someone was injured and fell down, some people would drag him behind to take care of and heal his injuries, but now, even if someone was injured or fell down, neither Cao Jun nor Liao Zu had time to care about it. Everyone on the front line is caught in a chaotic and brutal vortex of life and death. Maybe they are alive one moment, but will die the next moment. No one will pay attention to and take care of the wounded.
And the wounded soldiers newly born in the fighting between the two sides did not seem to be screaming like before, begging for help from others so that they could survive, but gritted their teeth and didn''t even respond to the screams. Those who are trampled to death will touch the weapon casually on the ground, and then stab the opponent''s legs, feet, and lower abdomen. They will even use up the last ounce of strength in their lives to hug the opponent''s legs and feet, and drag the opponent to In the abyss of death...
Sometimes when the soldiers of both sides are fighting to the death, the crowd is too tight, so that even though some soldiers have died in battle, they are still squeezed together by the soldiers of both sides, or become human shields, or the soldiers of both sides are inserted. They maintained their balance in one place, and only after the strength of the two sides huddled together in one place were staggered, did they both fall to the ground with a bang!
Standing in the formation, Zhuge Liang heard the sound of short breathing, the sound of lungs being pierced, the dull sound of chopping meat, the sound of armor and weapons colliding with each other, the sound of wooden gun handles breaking, and the sound of combat boots in the blood mud The twisting creaking sound, the countless voices that even the heavy pocket can''t cover up, penetrated directly into the ears, and then pierced into the bottom of my heart.
Zhuge Liang''s original passionate emotions disappeared at some point. He felt his hands and feet were a little cold, and the armor on his body was getting heavier and colder, as if something was pressing on his chest, and he couldn''t even breathe. difficult.
『Zhuge is engaged in...』 The guard standing behind Zhuge Liang looked at Zhuge Liang''s face, and couldn''t help but asked worriedly, "Why don''t you... Zhuge take a break from the first to the back..."
Zhuge Liang''s small face under the pocket was a little pale. Hearing what the guard said, he subconsciously took half a step back, then stopped, and then slowly, little by little, dragged it again after a long time, as if there was a weight in his hand. It was normal, and moved back to the original position, "No! Some...someone doesn''t retreat...』
Zhuge Liang lowered his head, looked at the gold-painted fan that was already clenched in his hand, and suddenly let go, letting the gold-painted fan fall directly to the ground like that, stained with dust and blood, and then took the saber beside him in his hand , pulled out the sheath, held it up high, bared his teeth, and roared without any elegance at all, pouring out the pressure between his chest and abdomen...
『Under the hussars, I am invincible, and there is no retreat! 』
Zhuge Liang, who still had a faint milky sound, even if he was roaring, it would not make people feel very threatening, just like a kitten baring its teeth fiercely and growling.
The guard behind Zhuge Liang laughed unkindly, then met Zhuge Liang''s somewhat angry eyes, coughed, and then took a step forward, blocking Zhuge Liang behind him, took a deep breath, and yelled loudly , this shout came from under the visor, with the sound of thick metal and iron, buzzing and echoing under the banner, all around the battle formation—
『Under the hussars, I am invincible, and there is no retreat! 』
Before there were advanced communication tools, as a guard, he often had to play the role of a messenger. As a messenger, it is obviously not enough to have a loud voice. In a chaotic and noisy battlefield, the order of the general must be delivered accurately. When going out, it is naturally impossible to be soft-spoken and understatement, so when the guard shouted loudly, both the volume and the deterrent force were several levels higher than Zhuge Liang''s, and it also affected more people.
Some of the wounded near the battle flag of the Chinese Army pushed away the soldiers who were taking care of him, groped for the weapon, and propped up their bodies, "Under the hussars, I am invincible, and there is no retreat!" 』
More voices broke the silence of the battlefield one after another, destroying the deadly oppression that had enveloped the fronts of both sides. In a blink of an eye, it seemed that all the hussars were roaring...
Liao Hua was on the front line of the formation, and when he heard such a roar, he sneaked a glance, then seemed to smile, and raised his long saber, and a heavy voice resounded in his chest, "Under the hussars, there is me!" Invincible, no retreat! 』
『I am invincible! 』
Facing Cao Jun''s weapon, he slammed into it, and while the opponent pierced his body, he chopped off his opponent''s head.
『There is no retreat! 』
Even if he was seriously injured, before he was about to fall, he jumped forward and crashed into the enemy''s formation, making room for his comrade Pao Ze to block the opponent''s attack...
Cao Hong slashed and killed the hussars standing in front of him, and shouted angrily at where Liao Hua was standing, "Come to fight!" Let''s fight! 』
Although Cao Hong didn''t want to admit it, in fact, he was already deeply afraid of the tricolor flag in his heart, and was afraid of these warriors who appeared endlessly under the hussars.
I''m not as good as Tai Shici, that''s all, not as good as Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, let''s not mention it, and then Xu Huang... Now even the young general of the "Liao" family who appeared out of nowhere in front of him has to ride on his neck Shit? ! why! Why? !
In fact, Cao Hong never realized that no matter whether he went north to attack Zhuyang, or returned to attack the military base, he had actually revealed the fear in his heart. Cao Hong is scared, so he needs to regain his confidence in front of an opponent he thinks is weaker...
As long as you can beat the young general in front of you...
if only…
『Come to fight! Let''s fight! Cao Hong roared, glaring at Liao Hua who was not far away, spewing spittle, roaring, "You have no guts!" And fight against a certain one! 』
Liao Hua also found Cao Hong, who was struggling to kill him not far away. In the **** wind, everything seemed to be in a daze. At this moment, Liao Hua seemed to have returned to the military academy in Chang''an, and heard Zhang Liao sitting in the hall, He said slowly, "Back then Xiliang rebels rioted in Chang''an, and the hussars led the troops to put down the rebellion. There was a thief general, Mrs. Guo, who wanted to fight the hussars... Do you know what the hussars did?" 』
Liao Hua stretched out his hand to move backwards, and then pointed at Cao Hong. Zhang Liao''s voice in his memory was mixed with his own voice, "Shoot it!" 』
