Shu Han Confucian generals of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 49 Tiger and Leopard Riding defeated Yuan Tan Cao Mengde's book Liu Bei

For a long time, the judge has felt that the smart Yuan Shang is more promising than the brave Yuan Tan. As for the weak and incompetent Yuan Xi, it is even more incomparable. It's just that I didn't expect that sometimes it's not a good thing for young people to be too smart. In particular, young people like Yuan Shang, who grew up in praise, can easily become arrogant.

Did the Hongmen banquet destroy Cao Yan? It sounds beautiful, but Cao can't be destroyed so easily. Now that Yuan Shang said such a thing, he was really fearless.

Not to mention that the trial match was in his heart, he heard Yuan Shang ask, "Mr. Zhengnan, why do you think Prime Minister Cao has to wait for the soldiers and horses in Bingzhou? Is it possible that he has any elite soldiers in Bingzhou?"

The judge frowned and thought for a moment, and finally said uncertainly, "Bingzhou produces horses, and Cao has occupied Bingzhou for more than a year. I think he has trained some powerful cavalry in Bingzhou." Yuan Shang nodded when he heard the words and stopped asking.

After counting, he was stationed under the city. Yuan Tan, who was already a little crazy about the dilemma, heard the scout to report that there were soldiers and horses in Sizhou.

"Sizhou?" Yuan Tan was a little surprised when he heard the words. I just looked for my teeth all over the place in Sizhou. Why is he jumping around now?

"Exactly, there are about 30,000 infantry and more than 10,000 cavalry. You can go to Ye City in less than two days." The scout replied.

"Well, Cao Thief has been silent for so long. It's not bad to have an opponent to fight!" Yuan Tan, who was already depressed to the point of pain, was finally in a better mood when he heard that the enemy was coming. Ju Shu, who was beside him, frowned when he heard the words and said, "Cao Yan suddenly mobilized soldiers and horses this time. I'm afraid he wants to have a match with the defenders of Ye City."

"No matter what we do, we have been trapped here for so long. It's good to fight a battle. There are only 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers from Sizhou. I have more than 100,000 troops here, which can be defeated in one fell swoop!" Yuan Tan said with a smile. Ju Shu was silently. It is true that morale is getting lower and lower now. If nothing happens, something will happen to the army. At present, Yuan Tan ordered the troops to prepare for war and prepare to fight with Sizhou to the death.

The information of the scouts was in place. After two days, a black line slowly appeared on the horizon west of Yuan Tan's camp. Then the black line became thicker and closer, and there were bursts of roars on the ground. Yuan Tan knew that this was the sound of the arrival of the army. As the distance got closer and closer, Yuan Tan gradually saw that this was an infantry phalanx, and it seemed that there should be about 20,000 people.

Looking at the slowly advancing enemy's army, Yuan Tan pulled out the long knife at his waist and said harshly after a knife in the air, "Generals and soldiers, these days, Cao Lao'er will only hide in the city to bully the old and weak. We will kill his people on his way first, and then attack Ye City and retake Hebei! If you want to make a contribution, you can kill me!" After roaring, Yuan Tan rushed forward as a soldier, and the guards beside him immediately followed. Yuan Tan's army rushed straight to Cao's infantry phalanx.

At this time, the variation in the infantry phalanx suddenly occurred, and the whole phalanx suddenly split from the middle, and the soldiers ran to both sides one after another. Although the speed is not slow, the pace is not messy. At the same time, a neatly arranged cavalry phalanx appeared in the center of the cracked phalanx.

"Hmm, carving worm skills, what can I do?" Yuan Tan saw that Cao Jun used such a clumsy way to hide the cavalry, and he was also quite disdainful. But as the distance narrowed, after seeing the face of the cavalry, Yuan Tan suddenly sank in his heart. There is no reason. Yuan Tan, this cavalry, knew at a glance that it was a rare elite cavalry in the world. ** They are all good horses in Bingzhou. The cavalry have a ten-foot-long battle gun in their hands, a saber and a long bow around their waist, and the horse is full of quiver. What's more amazing is that all the cavalry in this phalanx are wearing iron armor, which is simply a group of iron-shell turtles.

"Lord, be careful!" Just as Yuan Tan was about to walk within the range of the bows and arrows of the cavalry, the 10,000 cavalry suddenly began to bow and arrows at the same time. The speed was so fast that it was overwhelming. In a blink of an eye, 10,000 long arrows had been shot head-on. Yuan Tan was stunned, and several guards around him quickly stepped forward with shields to block his arrows, and finally escaped. The rest of the soldiers were not so lucky, and the first round of arrow rain took the lives of more than a thousand Yuan soldiers.

After four rounds of arrow rain, Yuan Tan's army was only a hundred steps away from the cavalry of this Cao army. At this time, the cavalry put down their long bows and advanced at full speed with their guns. Yuan Tan knew that he could not please him if he fought hard, but now he had to meet on the narrow road on the plain. At most, he expected that his army could have an advantage. At the next time, he gritted his teeth and ordered his troops to rush up to the front.

The fierce fighting sounded, and the Hebei army sadly found that their opponents were too strong. With a distant stab and a close knife, this cavalry is extremely skilled to kill people. Sometimes even the soldiers of the Hebei army collided head-on with them, were directly hit and blown away, and then trampled to death by thousands of feet.

Only one back and forth, the Hebei army's military array was washed away by this cavalry. After the two sides rushed to kill each other, they formed a formation. Yuan Tan's eyes almost did not fall out: thousands of corpses lying on the ground accounted for 90% of their own family members. Before he could react, the enemy's attack began again.

"Zihe's tiger and leopard riding are really powerful. In the past, Lv Bu and Dingyuan's Bingzhou iron riding are already the elite in the world, but compared with the tiger and leopard riding, it is simply far away!" Among the people watching the battle in Yecheng City, Cao Wei, who was in the middle, sighed.

"Zihe General is the best among the children of the prime minister's clan. The soldiers in the world can't be matched by Lv Bu's generation." The flowers on the side are interesting. Although this Huaqian is a worldly scholar, his greatest ability is not his talent, but his ability to meet the horse. With Cao's posture of annihating heroes for a generation, he was also coaxed by him with a proper flattery.

"The order, the whole army is dispatched, and the two-way attack is to defeat Yuan Tan!" After all, Cao was Cao. After a moment of intoxication, he realized that he had more important things to do. Under his mobilization, the defenders in the city came out under the leadership of all the generals and directly inserted into Yuan Tan's rear army. Now Yuan Tan's abdomen was attacked by the enemy, and he was even more passive.

"The halberd, protect the lord!" Seeing that he lost more or less today, Zhang Hao also hurriedly ordered his ace infantry halberd to stand up quickly. This halberd is a fine soldier trained by Zhang Jaw. Since Juyi's death, he first climbed the dead and disappeared. The combat effectiveness of this halberd is the leader of the Hebei army. However, there is a saying that the general is pulled out of the head. The halberd once said that the white horse can't be righteous. Now, when facing the tiger and leopard riding, he also seems to be a little weak.

However, for Zhang Yi, he did not expect to rely on the halberd to defeat Cao Jian. He only asked Yuan Tan and himself to get out of the battlefield smoothly so that they could run away. With his efforts, Yuan Tan finally led tens of thousands of soldiers with Ju Shu, Guo Tu and others to escape and run all the way to the north. However, Cao Wei fought with the spirit of beating the water dog this time, and he personally led the tiger and leopard to chase after him. Yuan Tan and others were almost bitten by Cao Jun several times. If it hadn't been for the leader of the Shang Party and leading the army to the south to support in time, Yuan Tan and others would have been reduced to prison. However, the southward journey means that the Yuan family has completely given up control of Bingzhou. Yuan Tan collected the defeated army, but there were still 30,000 to 40,000 people. At present, he could only return to Hejian to hold on to wait for the time. So far, the strength of the Yuan family in Hebei has been greatly reduced. In the original land of the four prefectures, only the Hejian of Youzhou and Jizhou, Zhangwu and Zhongshan counties. However, the land in these places is barren, and they are backed by the aliens in the northern border. There will be invasions by foreign enemies all the time, which is really not the foundation of a career. While sticking to the river, Yuan Tan sent someone to inform Yuan Xi of Youzhou that he was ready to stick to this last land.

"Lord!" In Ye City, Cao Qian, who was intoxicated by the prosperity of Hebei, suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him. Looking back, it was Guo Jia, who stayed in Xuchang to recuperate, followed by Jia Xu.

"Why didn't Feng Xiao rest in Xuchang, but come to Hebei to blow the wind?" Cao Wei was quite distressed. Xi Zhicai, the counselor who made his family, has died, and now Guo Jia is not in good health, which makes Cao Qian quite worried.

"Jia's body is fine for the time being. Congratulations to the Lord on fighting in Hebei!" Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Feng Xiao also knows the strategy of Sima Zhongda's six-way army to advance together, right?" Cao Wei suddenly changed the topic.

"I have heard that Sima Zhongda has such a strategy at such a young age. The future is really unlimited! However, it is too conceited. It is not easy to defeat Liu Bei and other heroes by fighting a war," Guo Jia said with a smile.

"After all, Zhongda is young, and it's better to be filial to you. By the way, I heard that Sun Quan is making trouble again? Cao Jian suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked Jia Xu, who was in charge of intelligence.

"Exactly, Sun Power used Liu Bei's army to go north. When Jiangdong was empty, he suddenly sent troops to occupy Huiji, Wujun and Luling. Sun's old minister Taishici also presented Poyang. In the past, it was said that there were seven counties in Jiangdong, but in the middle of the month, there were four counties under the rule of Sun Quan. Jia Xu was quite surprised. No matter how much he expected the enemy's opportunity, he never expected that Sun Quan had already stationed an army in Yizhou. When the Yangzhou army rushed to support Shangyong and Jingnan, Lv Fan, the governor of Huiji County, sent a letter pigeon to Lv Meng, who was in Yizhou, and then contacted Pan Zhang and Sun Yao. Then Lv Meng raised an army to attack the meeting with lightning speed. Ji, Sun Gao took advantage of the opportunity to visit his mentor Zhang Zhao to kidnap the Yangzhou herdsman. In addition, Tai Shici and Pan Zhang made trouble, and they actually let them do this big thing. Lv Fan also told Lv Meng that Gong Zhi, the governor of the South China Sea, was an urgent surname. As a result, Lv Meng immediately decided to send Ding Feng to challenge and kill him, so that the South China Sea was also easy to take it. If it hadn't been for the accumulation of heavy troops in the three counties of Yuzhang, "What do you think of the situation in Jiangdong?" Although Cao Wei doesn't quite understand how Sun Quan sent troops so quickly, what is more important now is how he can seek to maximize benefits in this chaotic situation. Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other and made eye contact. It's strange to say that Jia Xu is gloomy and silent, and Guo Jia's surname is unruly. The two of them are not rebellious. Even Cao Yan is surprised and can only sigh that there is a common language between the wise.

"The Sun family has been away from Jiangdong for more than three years, and it is difficult to get up when she returns to Jiangdong. In addition, the three counties of Lujiang and Danyang Yuzhang are still in the hands of Liu Bei. It is not easy for Sun Quan to protect himself. Jia Xu said first.

"Although the lord has captured Jizhou, the winter is approaching, and there are too many losses in the war. At present, at most, after taking all Jizhou, he needs to rest and rest for the next year. Therefore, it is difficult to intervene in the matter between Liu Bei and Sun Quan." Guo Jia added.

"I am the same." Cao Xiu nodded and said. At this time, someone came to report that Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei and Zhao Feng to lead the army to conquer Sun Quan. There is no doubt that Sun Zhongmou will be defeated!" Cao Yan sighed when he heard the words. In this way, Liu Bei has no worries at all, but he still has to die on his side, as well as the aliens in northern Xinjiang.

Wait, alien? Cao Xiu thought of this and suddenly had an idea. He smiled and said, "Come on, prepare your pen and ink quickly. I'm going to write to Lieutenant Liu!"
