… …
Liu Mang also learned from his own channels that Gongsun Du listened to him and lowered the price of the weapons and armor.
"My lord, this Gongsun Du is really greedy." Xu Shu did not have a good impression of Gongsun Du because Gongsun Du was earning money that originally belonged to Yangzhou. Originally, Xu Shu was an upright person who regarded money as dirt. But now, he did not know the value of rice and firewood. Liu Mang was also a shopkeeper who only knows how to use money but does not know how to make money. Therefore, Xu Shu couldn't wait to split the money in half.
"Greedy? Haha, I was afraid that he was not greedy. " Liu Mang said with a smile. This Gongsun Du liked to be greedy. Liu Mang was afraid that Gongsun Du did not like money. That would be bad. Cao Cao would not be able to hide the fact that he sent a messenger to Gongsun Du from Liu Mang.
Liu Mang's biggest disadvantage compared to Cao Cao was that he could not make Gongsun Du a Marquis. If Gongsun Du did not like money but liked fame, then Liu Mang would not be able to do anything.
But now, it seems that Gongsun Du liked money more. Liu Mang was also distressed that more than a hundred thousand gold was given to him for free. But at least the situation in Liaodong was stabilized.
Liu Mang did not discount the armors that he sold. Those were all standard armors of the Yangzhou Army. They were all made with molten iron in the blast furnace. In this era, they were all good weapons. If Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan could not hold on to these weapons and armor, then Liu Mang would not be able to do anything.
"Alright, I say, Senior Brother, look at you. You're about to become a resentful woman. Why are you even more money-minded than Zifang?" Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu's good friend and Junior Brother, teased Xu Shu.
"What do you know!" Xu Shu said angrily. "More than a hundred thousand gold, that is money. If it is converted to food, it is hundreds of thousands of shi. Giving it away for free, I am distressed. “
"Fine, fine. I don't understand, I don't understand. But I know that Gongsun Du earned a few hundred thousand gold. That's just a small amount. The bigger part is still with us," Zhuge Liang said to Xu Shu.
Indeed, Gongsun Du could only earn ten gold coins for a saber and a set of armor. Thousands of them added up to a few hundred thousand gold coins. Yangzhou Du could earn even more. A saber and a set of armor, including the cost of labor, the price of iron ore, and other miscellaneous items, the cost of a saber was only about five gold coins. A single set of armor cost 10 gold coins.
However, Liu Mang sold him for ten times the original price. The profit was simply unbelievable.
Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Xu Shu felt a little better. However, he still muttered, "Even if you make a profit, you can't sell it like this."
"Alright, Yuanzhi. Xingba sent a letter saying that the weapons and armor should be delivered soon. The money is also about to be loaded. When the money arrives, other than leaving three hundred thousand gold coins to build the ships, the rest will be yours!" Liu Mang also comforted Xu Shu. The shipyard in Jiangdong must be built because it was near the sea. It would be a waste if the military ports were not used.
Three hundred thousand gold coins, one hundred thousand gold coins to build one shipyard, two hundred thousand to build two, and the remaining one hundred thousand gold coins to build the warships.
Liaodong's transaction volume was 1.05 million gold coins. After deducting the cost, it was still 700,000 to 800,000 gold coins. Only with this money in Yangzhou's treasury could Xu Shu not panic.
Liu Mang looked at the north and muttered, "Yuan family's brother, don't let me down."
…
In the north, the northern wind was blowing, and the sky seemed to have changed color all of a sudden. Dark clouds were pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it.
The ground was densely packed with people. There were two camps and dozens of square formations.
Cao Cao's army of three hundred thousand was ready to move out. He wanted to destroy the Yuan family's brothers.
The Yuan family's brothers were not to be outdone. Relying on the two fortified cities, the army of one hundred thousand also got into formation. They looked like they were ready to fight with Cao Cao.
Cao Cao looked at Gaoyang and Renqiu. These were two fortified cities. It was impossible to take them down without paying a price. Thus, Cao Cao did not want to take them by force. He wanted to find a chance to destroy Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's army outside the city.
However, there was no chance. Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were already afraid of Cao Cao. They had been hiding behind the city walls. Cao Cao directly besieged the city to trap the Yuan family's brothers. However, he received news that the Yuan family's brothers did not lack food. This made Cao Cao very uncomfortable.
However, he did not expect that these two cowards would come out of their shells today. Not only did they come out, they also looked like they were ready for a decisive battle. This made Cao Cao very confused.
However, Cao Cao had a smile on his face. "I'm not afraid of you coming out. I'm just afraid that you will be a coward."
"My lord, be careful of a trap!" Guo Jia frowned. He had a bad premonition.
"What trap can there be? Fengxiao, you're worrying too much! "Cao Cao was very confident.
"That's right, Chancellor Guo. I watched the Yuan family's brothers grow up. If they weren't from the beginning, then they would be two pieces of trash! Now that these two pieces of trash have come out, they are naturally courting death! " A middle-aged man on the side stood up and said to Guo Jia. Although his tone was respectful, everyone could hear the provocation in his words. Guo Jia was Cao Cao's number one strategist. Everyone could see that Cao Cao favored the Guo Jia. Other people's attitude towards Guo Jia was good. After all, Guo Jia's ability was there. Even if Cheng Yu was stubborn, he would not mock Guo Jia. However, Xu You was different. He had always wanted to urge Guo Jia to take his place and become Cao Cao's number one strategist.
This person was none other than Prime Minister Cao's childhood friend, Yuan Shao's former strategist, Xu You, Xu Ziyuan.
"Oh?" Guo Jia did not argue with this person, but indifferently replied.
"Ah Man, let me be the first one. I will definitely help you take down these two Yuan Benchu's trash sons and help you pacify Hebei." Xu You said to Cao Cao in high spirits.
"Ah Man?" Originally, Cao Cao quite agreed with Xu You's idea. The two Yuan family's sons were trash. However, when he heard Xu You call them Ah Man, Cao Cao's good mood was immediately destroyed.
Ah Man! Cao Cao, this was Cao Cao's nickname. Generally, for the ancient people, people who were close to them would call them by their first name. Ordinary people or people who were not on good terms with them would call them by their first name. Only enemies and elders could call them by their first name.
When enemies called them by their first name, they naturally regarded themselves as their elders. But now this Xu You actually called him by his first name. Wasn't this taking advantage of Cao Cao? Which elder of Cao Cao was you? In the past, Cao Cao endured it because Yuan Shao was the boss, and this Xu You was the second boss. Cao Cao was just a black fatty who took the blame. But now it was different. His little brother, Yuan Shao, killed his big brother, Yuan Shao. You left Yuan Shao to work under Cao Cao. Not only did you not bow your head, but you also called him Ah Man. Aren't you looking for trouble?
"Haha!" Although Cao Cao was laughing, a pair of small single-eyelid eyes emerged a cold light. Xu You stood behind Cao Cao and did not see it, but the Guo family on the side saw it. That was a murderous intent. It meant that Cao Cao had already wanted to kill Xu You, his childhood friend.
It was precisely because of this that Guo Jia did not argue with Xu You.
"Milord, Xu Huang requests to fight!"
"Milord, Xiahou Chun requests to fight!" Three hundred thousand soldiers against one hundred thousand soldiers. If the one hundred thousand soldiers were to defend a city, they would be a tough nut to crack. However, if it was a field battle, hehe. Not to mention the difference in numbers, the elites of Cao Cao's army were much stronger than the elites of Yuan Jia's army. So one by one, the generals asked to fight. Wasn't this just giving away merits?
"Milord, since Mr. Xu You wants to help Milord, then let Mr. Xu You fight first!" Unexpectedly, Guo Jia spoke for Xu You.
"Oh?" Cao Cao was also stunned for a moment. It was reasonable to say that Xu You and Guo Jia were opposing each other, but Guo Jia still gave this opportunity to Xu You?
"En?" Xu You did not expect that the one who spoke for him was actually Guo Jia. Could it be that this Guo Jia knew that his ability was higher than his, and that he and Guo Jia were childhood friends, so he flattered him?
Xu You couldn't help but feel proud. Since Guo Jia admitted defeat, Xu You wouldn't force him to do anything.
Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia doubtfully, but Guo Jia smiled and nodded at Cao Cao. Cao Cao then replied, "Well, since Ziyuan wants to fight, then the first battle will be yours!" Cao Cao was basically obedient to Guo Jia because he knew that Guo Jia would not harm him.
"Haha, Ah Man, just wait for me to win the first battle for you!" Xu You was very proud, which made Cao Cao even more ashamed and angry. He was a little bit blaming Guo Jia. Xu You and Xu Ziyuan were originally arrogant people, and now if he was given such a credit, he would not be afraid to go to heaven.
"Wait!" Just when Xu You was about to lead the troops, Guo Jia stopped Xu You.
"Chancellor Guo, do you have something important to do? If not, then I will not accompany you." Xu You still did not give face to Guo Jia.
"Mr. Xu You, this battle is of great importance, are you sure you can win?" Guo Jia asked Xu You.
"Haha, if this Yuan family brother is hiding in the city, I may not be able to do anything to him, but if he comes out? Hehe, I, Xu You, will take their heads. "Xu You said proudly.
"Guo Jia has also heard about the Yuan family brother. This Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu are the sons of a tiger father. Although these two brothers are a little useless, their escaping skills are still good. So, Mr. Xu You, you also know that this first battle is related to the morale of our army, so we must win the first battle. I don't want the heads of these Yuan family brothers, Mr. Xu You can take them, but I still need your guarantee!" Guo Jia said to Xu You.
"How can you guarantee?" Xu You asked disdainfully.
"Mr. Xu You, don't blame Guo Jia for being meddlesome. Let's make a military pledge. If Mr. Xu You returns victorious, Guo Jia will pour wine for you!" Guo Jia looked at Xu You and said with a smile.
"A military pledge?" Xu You frowned subconsciously. A military pledge was not like other things. Once it was signed, it was written in black and white. It was useless to deny it. Even if you were the young master of Cao Jun, Cao Cao would kill you for the sake of the army's military pledge.
"What's wrong, Mr. Xu You, are you not willing to sign?" Guo Jia said to Xu You calmly, "Or you are not sure?"
"Fengxiao, if Xu You doesn't want to sign, I will!" The Xiahou brothers were anxious. This was a great merit.
"Yes, Xu You, are you going to sign or not? If you don't sign, we will sign!" The generals were not satisfied. They had no conflict of interest with Xu You, and they were not afraid of him.
But then Xu You thought that the Yuan family brothers were fish on the chopping board. So what if he signed? Victory was within his grasp. So what if he signed?
"Good! Bring me a pen and paper. "Xu You waved his hand. Cao Cao nodded. Soon, someone brought him a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Xu You wrote a military pledge on the letter that he would win the first battle. If he lost the first battle, he would be beheaded.
"Okay!" Xu You proudly taught him the military order.
Guo Jia put it away, looked at the handwriting on it and nodded. "So, Guo Jia respectfully welcomes Mr. Xu You's victory." “
"Hmph!" Xu You snorted coldly and immediately left on his horse to mobilize the troops.
"Fengxiao, what are you doing?" Cao Cao watched Xu You leave and asked Guo Jia in confusion.
"My lord, do you like this Xu You?" Guo Jia asked Cao Cao.
"I don't like it!" Cao Cao did not hide anything from Guo Jia.
"I don't like him, either!" Guo Jia nodded and said.
"Fengxiao, are you …?" Cao Cao suddenly thought of something and was a little shocked.
"I say, my lord, am I, Guo Jia, such an image in your heart? Backstabbing? I, Guo Jia, will not do that! It's too troublesome! "Guo Jia said in boredom.
Cao Cao calmed down. If Guo Jia was good at backstabbing, Cheng Yu would not have lived until now. After all, it was not the first time that Cheng Yu had found trouble with Guo Jia.
Even Cao Cao himself could not help it. Cheng Yu's frequency was so high that he could report to him three times a day.
"Mr. Xu You, you must win for me!" Cao Cao still wanted to ask something, but Guo Jia had already looked at the battlefield and muttered to himself. If there was someone who wanted Xu You to win the most, it would be Guo Jia.
Xu You rode out. Xu You had 30,000 soldiers under his command. Half of them were the former Jizhou Army. Cao Cao simply gave them to Xu You to command.
Xu You rode out and scolded the Yuan family. As an elder of the Yuan family, he scolded Yuan Shao's three sons to surrender. He also said that if they surrendered, they would not be killed. This completely angered the Yuan family.
Yuan Shang directly said that Xu You was a traitor and a lackey. Yuan Tan was even more simple. He directly ordered his men to shoot at Xu You with bows and arrows. Xu You almost died before he could win.
Xu You was furious. He immediately arranged his troops into a formation. The troops under him formed a Flying Goose Formation. 5,000 cavalrymen were in the front. 10,000 spearmen were in the middle. Piao Dao soldiers were on both sides. Behind them were archers.
It had to be said that Xu You and Xu Ziyuan were good at fighting. This Flying Goose Formation had both offensive and defensive power. The first wave of arrows directly fell on the Yuan family's army. Before they could recover from the arrow rain, the cavalrymen behind rushed in and directly tore a hole in the Yuan family's army.
When Xu You saw the hole, he was like a shark that saw the smell of blood. The troops under him did not hesitate to fill the hole.
"Hold on, hold on!" The captains of the Yuan family's army shouted loudly. They hoped that their shouts could make the troops go forward to fill the hole. But it was all in vain. In the era of cold weapons, cavalrymen were armored forces.
"Shen Ze. Go take the Qingzhou cavalrymen and fill the hole! "Yuan Tan on the side could not stand it anymore. He wanted to use the cavalrymen to relieve the pressure on the infantrymen.
Shen Ze immediately obeyed the order. The 5,000 Qingzhou cavalrymen moved and charged towards the hole.
"Ferocious Cavalry, move out!" Cao Cao was about to wave the flag and order the elite Ferocious Cavalry to go out. But he was stopped by Guo Jia. Guo Jia shook his head and said to Cao Cao, "Milord, it is not the time for the Ferocious Cavalry to move out!"
"But?" Cao Cao explained to Guo Jia, "The Yuan family's army has already taken out the heavy cavalry. You can't not move out."
"The Ferocious Cavalry is not familiar with the terrain of Youzhou. They will only suffer losses. But there is one person who can use it! His troops were trained in Youzhou. "Guo Jia explained to Cao Cao.
"One person? Zhang He? " Cao Cao thought of one person, Zhang He. To be honest, Zhang He was not famous in Youzhou. But the troops under Zhang He were famous in Youzhou. They were the great halberd warriors under Zhang He.
The original commander of the great halberd warriors was not Zhang He. Instead, it was a training expert under Yuan Shao, Ju Yi's troops. Although this person did not have top-notch martial arts, his method of commanding troops was unparalleled in the world. Back then, he was known as Gao Shun of Bing Province and Ju Yi of Ji Province.
Gao Shun trained the Formation Breaker to resist the Wuwan in Bing Province. Ju Yi trained the great halberd warriors to resist the Southern Xiongnu.
This person's great halberd warriors also destroyed Gongsun Zan's elite cavalry, the White Horse Cavalry. Eight hundred great halberd warriors defeated three thousand White Horse Cavalry in one battle. From this, one could see the might of the great halberd warriors. Unfortunately, this person became arrogant and was killed by Yuan Shao. Otherwise, Cao Cao would really cry.
Although the great halberd warriors had a new master, their fighting strength did not decrease. Instead, Cao Cao strengthened them. Now, the number of great halberd warriors had increased to five thousand.
"Good! Pass my order. Let Zhang He go to battle! " Cao Cao said to his subordinates. Although the five thousand great halberd warriors under Zhang He's command were heavy cavalry, Zhang He still did not have the opportunity to go to Cao Cao's side.
He was bored to death in the camp. On the other side, Xu You had already gone to battle. He tore a hole in the Yuan family's army and was expanding his victory. After that, the Yuan family's army sent out heavy cavalry to fill the gap.
"Next should be the Ferocious Cavalry!" Zhang He muttered to himself. He had an indescribable feeling towards the Ferocious Cavalry. There was disdain because he, Zhang He, had great halberd warriors. He was confident that under the same conditions, his great halberd warriors were stronger than Cao Cao's Ferocious Cavalry. However, there was also envy because the Ferocious Cavalry was Cao Cao's own heavy cavalry. Naturally, they were treated much better than his great halberd warriors. Just look at this merit. His lord would definitely send the Ferocious Cavalry to meet the enemy and the merit would belong to the Ferocious Cavalry. When will it be the turn of the great halberd warriors? Zhang He was a bit gloomy.
"General, General, the lord wants us to go to battle!" Suddenly, a messenger ran over and excitedly said to Zhang He.
Zhang He subconsciously said, "What's so surprising about the Ferocious Cavalry?"
"General, it's not the Ferocious Cavalry. It's not the Ferocious Cavalry. Prime Minister Cao wants us great halberd warriors. He wants you to go!" The messenger repeated.
"Oh, Ferocious Cavalry? What?" Zhang He suddenly asked with his eyes wide open.
"General, Prime Minister Cao wants us to go to battle immediately to help Lord Xu You's army block the Qingzhou Cavalry!" This was the third time that the messenger had said this.
"Haha, haha!" Zhang He suddenly laughed, "Good, brothers, Prime Minister Cao wants us to go. Brothers, are your horses ready?"
"Good, good!"
"Can your sabers light up?"
"Light, light, light!"
"Good, then follow me to the battlefield and beat back the enemy. Youzhou is the place where we great halberd warriors rose. It's also the place where we make our glory again." Zhang He shouted to his subordinates.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Suddenly, shouts of killing spread out from Zhang He's camp.
"Milord, this Zhang He is really a talent!" Guo Jia also glanced at Zhang He's camp. To be able to raise the morale of his troops so quickly before the battle, this was also a skill.
"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded. Zhang He used to be one of the four pillars of Hebei Province. However, Yuan Shao didn't know how to use him. "Brother Benchu, you've sent me another fierce general!" Thinking of how Yuan Shao's subordinate killed Yuan Shao's son, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh.
In Zhang He's camp, 5,000 great halberd warriors were ready to go. Soon, they rushed out of the camp and pounced on the Qingzhou Cavalry.
"Kill, kill!" The two groups of heavy cavalry clashed. The Great Halberd Soldiers lived up to their reputation as the elite soldiers of the past. Both sides hadn't even clashed, but each Great Halberd Soldier had already taken out something from their backpacks. Normally, a person's backpack would be filled with a rain of arrows, but the Great Halberd Soldiers took out short halberds.
"Toss!" Zhang He gave the order, and countless short halberds were tossed out by the Great Halberd Warriors.
With the speed of the warhorses and the strength of the arms, the countless small halberds caused great damage. The Qingzhou Cavalry in the front row were hit by the halberds. If they were arrows, the heavy cavalry wouldn't care. However, the short halberds were quite heavy. If they hit their bodies quickly, they would leave a small dent in their armor. If they hit their heads or places without armor, they would be seriously injured. If they were unlucky, they would be smashed to death.
"Quick, quick, quick! Charge up!" The Qingzhou Cavalry's commander, Shen Ze, wasn't a simple person. He commanded his troops and shouted loudly.
The great halberd warriors had long range attacks, but they didn't. So, they rushed over and relied on the momentum to kill.
"Boom!" The two forces collided. There was no extra movement, only simple and violent killing.
"Charge, charge, charge!" The Qingzhou Cavalry was delayed by Zhang He's great halberd warriors. The pressure on Xu You was greatly reduced. The gap was getting bigger and bigger. Xu You's eyes were shining.
"Second brother, let them go!" Yuan Tan was a little anxious because he saw that the gap was getting bigger and bigger. The Qing Province cavalry that went to help didn't have a good time either. They were at a disadvantage in the battle with the great halberd warriors, and their casualties were increasing in a short time.
As for them. Yuan Tan would say that Yuan Jiajun had purposely done this on purpose.
"No, it's not time yet!" Yuan Xi shook his head.
"Then when is the time!" Yuan Tan was a bit angry. The Qing Province Cavalry was Yuan Tan's capital. If he lost it, then even if he won against Cao Cao, he would still lose to his younger brother. Yuan Tan could see the smile on Yuan Shang's face.
"Third brother, let your men go first!" Yuan Xi knew that if he didn't make a move, it was possible that his elder brother would order the Qing Province Cavalry to return in a fit of anger.
"I know, second brother!" Yuan Shang nodded and went first. Some of them followed Gao Lan and surrendered to Cao Cao. But most of them stayed in Yuan Shang's hands because the previous commander of the first camp was Wen Chou. Although Boss Cao didn't help him kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou, he still had Xu Chu. In addition, Yuan Shao's carelessness caused Wu Chao to be burned down. So, Yan Liang died in the chaos. Wen Chou naturally wanted to avenge his sworn brother.
The first camp was Wen Chou's men who came out after Yuan Shang reorganized.
"Wen Chou, go. Bring the first camp to play with Shen Ze!" Yuan Shang said casually. In fact, he was laughing at his elder brother.
The Qingzhou Cavalry and the first camp had fought before. Shen Ze was not Wen Chou's opponent.
"Yes!" Wen Chou nodded. Soon, another group of heavy cavalry was dispatched.
"First camp!" Cao Cao also saw the flag on the other side. Cao Cao also coveted the first camp. Unfortunately, Cao Cao didn't have enough captives to form the first camp. So, the first camp's soldiers were either sent to the great halberd soldiers or to Cao Cao's army as cavalry instructors.
"The Yuan family's brothers are anxious!" Cao Cao said with a smile. The gap was getting bigger and bigger. The two heavy cavalry of the Yuan family's brothers came out to block the gap. Xu You didn't have any effect at all! Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh.
"Bu Zu, using expensive heavy cavalry to save them?" Guo Jia didn't smile at all. Instead, his brows knitted even more. In fact, the light armored soldiers had another name on the battlefield. They were cannon fodder.
Because they only had leather or cloth armor and a sword in their hand, they were considered an army. Therefore, the ones who died the most on the battlefield were the light footsteps of cannon fodder.
The Yuan family's brothers on the other side used the most cannon fodder. They didn't care about the death of the common people.
Guo Jia saw that although the first row of the Yuan family's soldiers were wearing iron armor and holding big shields, they were very elite. But after the gap was opened, he found that there were light armored soldiers behind. Otherwise, Xu You couldn't tear the gap so quickly.
If it was in the past, the Yuan family's brothers wouldn't care about the death of these cannon fodder. Even if they died, there would still be some rations left.
But now, they sent the precious heavy cavalry to rescue them. What was the reason? Even if they didn't want to give up these cannon fodder, they should've used the heavy cavalry to save them. Or they should've directly abandoned the light armored soldiers and used their corpses to buy time. Then, they could've reorganized the army. But the Yuan family's brothers made it clear that they wanted to fight to the death with Cao Cao's army.
Was this really stupid? 300,000 soldiers against 100,000 soldiers and you still want to fight to the death? Did water get into your brain?
"Milord, it's time to send out the Ferocious Cavalry!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao who was beside him.
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Zhongkang, you also go!" The Ferocious Cavalry was fighting against the first battalion. The first battalion also had a refinement level warrior, Wen Chou. The other generals were not Wen Chou's opponent, so only Xu Chu was left.
Xu Chu nodded and immediately got on his horse and picked up his sword. Then, he set out with the commander of the Ferocious Cavalry.
"Kill!" Wen Chou and Xu Chu's troops also began to fight.
The battle was getting more and more intense. On the side, there were two groups of heavy cavalry. They were clashing with each other. In the middle, there was a large scale battle.
"Quickly, we must break in. If 5,000 people are not enough, then 10,000 people. If 10,000 people are not enough, then 20,000 people!" Xu You's eyes were full of joy, because the Yuan Army's battle over there had been torn to pieces by Xu You. As long as he rushed over and divided them, they would be like fish on the chopping block.
At that time, Xu You would be the hero of the first victory. Then, Cao Aman would also reward him. Perhaps, Guo Jia's position would be his. Thinking of this, Xu You could not help but become excited. "Go, go, go win this battle and get rich!"
Xu You roared. He was tearing apart the formation of the Yuan family's brothers. However, he did not know that his original Flying Geese Formation was also in chaos. They were slowly entering the center of the Yuan Shao's army. And the Yuan family's army was slowly surrounding them. Merge.
"Not good!" Guo Jia widened his eyes and looked at the battle scene. He knew where the heavy cavalry of the Yuan family's army was. They were in the two wings, and the Central Army in the middle was the cannon fodder. Now, Xu You was beating the Yuan family's army in the middle. He thought that the Yuan family's military counselor was a pushover, so he directly attacked them. But he did not expect that the two wings of the Yuan family's army were solid heavy cavalry. They were slowly merging, like a huge mouth slowly closing.
The Yuan family's army wanted to swallow Xu You's 30,000 soldiers? Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked at each other. When did the Yuan family's brothers have such a big appetite?
"Not good!" Xu You also found that he seemed to have rushed into the big mouth of the Yuan family's army.
However, Xu You was not in a hurry. He could not help but sneer. "Haha, I watched these two useless things grow up. You want to fight with me? Let's see if you can eat it or not! "If you want to merge the big mouth, you need to have a good appetite.
If you don't have a good set of teeth and a good appetite when eating, then you will only break your teeth and make your mouth full of blood. In the end, the loss will outweigh the gain.
Of the 30,000 troops under Xu You's command, 25,000 were light armored infantry, but 5,000 were heavy armored infantry. They were all former elites of Jizhou, and their fighting power was very strong. If one wanted to wipe them all out, one would need to use at least three times the fighting power, which was 15,000 heavy armored infantry. Perhaps the Yuan brothers had it all, but if one wanted to use all of them to wipe out Xu You's 30,000 troops, it would be impossible.
Do you think that Cao Cao's army is just for decoration? When the time comes, the Yuan family's army will be the unlucky ones.
"Milord, issue the order. Let Xu You withdraw and send the army to rescue him!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao on the side. Guo Jia had a bad premonition. No matter how stupid the Yuan family's brothers are, they will not use heavy cavalry to rescue light cavalry. No matter how stupid they are, they will know whether they have a good appetite or not.
"Good!" Cao Cao nodded his head and waved his flag. Another 30,000 soldiers, including Xu Rong's heavily-armored subordinates, charged towards the Yuan Family's formation. Cao Cao's flag was waved and waved.
"Milord, Milord wants us to withdraw and cooperate with General Xu Rong's army!" The lieutenant beside Xu You reminded Xu You.
Xu You did not need him to remind him! Of course not. Xu You had already seen Cao Cao's signal, but Xu You sneered. "Withdraw? Now is not the time to withdraw. Wait for me to take the head of the Yuan family's brothers. Soldiers, if you kill one enemy, you will be rewarded 100 coins. If you kill the enemy's general, you will be rewarded 10 gold coins. After the war, everyone will be promoted by one rank! " Xu You was the first to rush forward, taking the lead. "Front, as long as we tear this hole, we will win. They are just defeated by us. Brothers, follow me!" Xu You was the first to rush forward, taking the lead.
"Damn it!" Guo Jia also saw that Xu You did not follow the order at all. Not only did he not retreat, but he also fought deeper and deeper. If he disobeyed the order, he could be beheaded.
"Pass down the order. Tell General Xu Rong to hurry up and meet the enemy. We must rescue Xu You's army!" Guo Jia ordered his men.
Xu Rong's army quickened their pace and rushed towards the Yuan family's army. The Yuan family's army was also ready. The first wave of Xu Rong's army came into contact with the Yuan family's army.
The heavy armored footsoldiers were equivalent to some fixed fortresses, huge shields, and sabers. They welcomed wave after wave of attacks from Xu Rong. Even though Xu Rong also used heavy armored footsoldiers to attack, one had to know that one side was a heavy armored footsoldier that had run for a while, while the other side was a heavy armored footsoldier that was waiting for exhaustion. Naturally, Xu Rong was at a disadvantage.
Yuan Xi looked at the 30,000 soldiers of Xu You and Xu Rong, who had been completely swallowed up, and the heavily armored soldiers of Xu Rong, who had been blocked outside, and sneered, "That's enough! Pass down the order, it's time to eat! "
"Yes!" The flags on the city wall were waved.
"Ten thousand heavy cavalry?" Guo Jia and others saw that Xu Rong's army was too strong. It was not that Xu Rong was weak, but the enemy was too strong. The Yuan family's army was too much. How many heavy cavalry could the Yuan family's army have? Fifteen thousand was the minimum, but now there were more than ten thousand soldiers on the periphery, which meant that there were only a few thousand soldiers inside the encirclement.
Could it be that the Yuan family's brothers were really arrogant to this extent? Using the same number of heavy cavalry to swallow Xu You's army? Were they really not afraid of losing their lives?
But soon Guo Jia was stunned, because Xu You's army seemed to be one-sided.
"Pass down the order of the second young master, eat, eat!" The Yuan family's army passed down one by one.
"Eat?" Xu You was stunned for a moment, but then he was ashamed and angry, because the Yuan family's brothers actually treated him like a dish? This was simply unbearable.
The rear of the Yuan family's army was opened up, and a group of heavy cavalry came out from inside.
Xu You looked at the square formation on the other side and sneered. There were a total of three brigades, which meant that there were only three thousand heavy cavalry, and Xu You had five thousand heavy cavalry. Using three thousand to fight against five thousand? The Yuan family's brothers must be out of their minds.
"Good, good, good! "Xu You was ashamed and angry." Let your Uncle Xu teach you a lesson! I will teach you in place of your dead father! “
"Get into formation and charge!" Xu You didn't put up a defensive formation at all, but directly attacked.
"Haha, brothers, it's time to eat. Let's swallow them and use their blood as a sacrifice for our new sabers and armors!" Seeing Xu You rushing over, the commander of the three thousand people was not scared but instead became happy.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The three thousand Yuan family's heavy cavalry were also excited.
"Die!" The first wave of Xu You's heavy cavalry came into contact with the Yuan family's heavy cavalry.
One of Xu You's heavy cavalry moved quickly and took the initiative to attack. The sword in his hand directly fell on the body of the Yuan family's heavy cavalry, and his face could not help but show a sneer. The first attack represented the victory, and his sword would definitely cut off the armor and kill.
However, what happened next shocked him. His saber did not break the armor. Instead, it only left a white mark on the armor.
"How is this possible!" Xu You's heavy cavalry did not want to thank his eyes, and what happened next made him even more incredulous. The Yuan family's heavy cavalry counterattacked, and the sword in his hand was swung down. Xu You's heavy cavalry wanted to use the sword in his hand to block, but with a click, the sword in his hand was broken into two halves in front of his eyes.
After that, he was not surprised, because he did not have the ability to do so. The sword came down from the top and directly tore his armor, and half of his head was cut off, and his brain and blood scattered on the ground.
This kind of battle happened in every corner of the field.
What's more, at the beginning, these Yuan family's soldiers were very shy and a little guilty. After all, three thousand people were fighting against five thousand people, but the bigger the fight, the smoother it was. Basically, one sword could draw blood, but if the opponent wanted to kill them, it would take a lot of effort. Unless the opponent cut the neck or the head, it would be impossible to kill them. How could they not be happy with this kind of feeling?
They were simply invincible!
