The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 461 The Battle of Guandu Eleven
As a vanguard general, Xu Huang personally led the [-] elite ambush food transport team, which is enough to illustrate the importance of the night attack on Wuchao.

The Youzhou army transporting food was moving much slower than before. Cao Jun, who was dormant on the hillside, began to fluctuate in his heart, waiting for Xu Huang's order to charge.

Crouching next to Xu Huang, there is another General Cao Jun.

This person was dressed the same as Xu Huang, but held a spear in his hand, staring intently at the Youzhou army marching slowly down the mountain like a snail, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly from time to time.

This person's surname is Li, his name is Dian, and his name is Mancheng. He is from Juye County, Shanyang County. When Cao Cao led the army to crusade against the Yellow Turban, he served under Cao Cao's account.

In terms of martial arts, Li Dian is not as good as Xu Huang, but his rich battle experience can make up for Xu Huang's shortcomings.

"General, the Youzhou Army has entered the ambush circle!" Staring at the Youzhou Army led by Li Ergou, Li Dian reminded Xu Huang in a low voice.

"We ambushed the grain transportation team in order to be able to sneak into Wuchao smoothly!"

Still looking at the Youzhou Army team at the foot of the mountain, Xu Huang paused, and continued to whisper to Li Dian: "Wait for them to go deeper before launching an attack. Make sure that no one in the Youzhou Army can break through!"

After Xu Huang said so, Li Dian couldn't say anything more. After all, Xu Huang was the chief general and he was the deputy general.When looking at Youzhou, there was a greedy look in his eyes.

The further he walked in, the more uneasy Li Ergou felt in his heart. His intuition from fighting all the year round told him that this place was dangerous.But on the hills on both sides, not even half a person can be seen.

Holding the handle of the broadsword tightly, Li Ergou frowned, and kept looking at the hills on both sides with his eyes.

The soldiers following Li Ergou also looked around nervously, none of them dared to slack off in the slightest.

"Shoot the arrow!" Suddenly Li Ergou heard a loud shout from the hillside.

Then, on the originally empty hillside, hundreds of figures immediately stood up.

The [-] Cao troops who followed Xu Huang here had been in ambush for too long, and finally received the order to attack. They all stood up and opened their bows without any delay.A rain of arrows was shot towards the grain transportation team down the mountain.

Five hundred generals and soldiers of the Cao army were all carrying bows and arrows.Although he is not a professional archer, it is not difficult to draw a bow and shoot an arrow.

Arrows flew towards the Youzhou army. Although they were protected by advanced armor, some unlucky ones were knocked to the ground by the arrows before they had time to react, screaming one after another.

After being covered by the rain of arrows for several rounds, nearly a hundred people were shot and killed immediately without any defense.After a short period of panic, the well-trained Youzhou soldiers began to form defensive formations.

According to Xu Huang's general order, Cao Jun was not in a hurry to rush down the hillside to fight hand-to-hand, but stood on the hillside and continuously released arrow rain towards the Youzhou army down the hill, with the intention of not giving up until all the arrows were shot.

When the first round of arrow rain hit, Li Ergou avoided the catastrophe cleverly, but he didn't expect the first arrow to be followed by the second arrow.Although he was injured, Li Ergou instinctively swung his sword and defended indiscriminately.

"Defend with a shield array!" Li Ergou shouted, breaking off the arrow tail so that he could fight.

Under Li Ergou's reasonable dispatch, the Youzhou army set up large shields nearby one after another, and the scattered small shield arrays moved slowly towards the rear.

Looking at the shield formation formed by the Youzhou Army, Xu Huang frowned. He originally thought that the Youzhou Army escorting the food and grass was very weak, but in the current situation, he might not be as weak as the Youzhou Army on the frontal battlefield at Guandu. .

"Kill!" Xu Huang didn't hesitate anymore, it would be difficult if he was formed into a complete formation by the Youzhou Army.

Holding a big knife and shouting loudly, Xu Huang rushed down the hillside first.Immediately afterwards, Li Dian took a spear and followed without hesitation.

The master general was so brave that all the five hundred elite Cao troops under him rushed down the mountain with shouts like tigers.

In the Youzhou army camp, Huo Yu made all the arrangements. After everyone left, Huo Yu still stood in front of the sand table and stared at Wuchao.

"Dian Wei!" Huo Yu suddenly said in peace.

"Lord!"

"This Marquis has a sense of uncertainty in his heart. You must go to Wuchao immediately, and you must ensure the safety of the military division!"

"promise!"

Looking at Dian Wei who took the order and left, Huo Yu was relieved just now.The sudden sense of ominousness just now made Huo Yu sweat coldly.

Li Ergou tried his best and persisted for five rounds in the face of Xu Huang's onslaught.However, the Youzhou Army's spirit of preferring death to surrender made Cao Jun suffer.

Looking at the battlefield full of corpses, Xu Huang rejoiced and said: "If a strong general is in command, this Youzhou army that is escorting food and grass can be regarded as an elite."

After a fierce battle, the Youzhou army escorting food and grass was wiped out.But there was not a single deserter. If Xu Huang hadn't beheaded Li Ergou first, the battle would have been even more tragic than before.

When the battle damage statistics came out, Xu Huang was shocked.Of the 500 elites carefully selected by myself, there were less than 100 left, and 30 of them were still injured.

"General Xu, is this really an army escorting food and grass?" Li Dian asked in a daze.

It has long been heard that the Youzhou army is the most powerful in the world, but Li Dian has never had a direct confrontation.However, today's battle allowed Li Dian to see what is the most powerful army in the world.

Leaving aside the advantages of equipment, Li Dian thought that under the same circumstances, he could only retreat, let alone kill the enemy.

"Fortunately, we have achieved our goal, let's bury the fallen soldiers on the spot!" Xu Huang sighed, and led the rest of the people to start cleaning the battlefield.

As the sun was setting, Xu Huang and the others finally finished changing their outfits. The remnant army escorted some food and grass, and slowly headed towards Wuchao.

Under the night, Cao Cao led the army to leave the camp quietly in batches. After gathering at Wuli Foreign Exchange, the [-] elite army came straight to Wuchao.

In order to achieve the suddenness of the battle, Cao Jun gathered [-] cavalry, which can be regarded as a pressure on the housekeeper.In order to prevent the horses from neighing, each horse had a bit on its head, and its hooves were wrapped in thick linen.

After marching in a hurry until late at night, the [-] troops saw the huge Youzhou barracks in front of them from a distance.A brazier was lit at intervals in the camp, and the flames sizzled in the wind.

Following Cao Cao's order, the army gradually stopped advancing.After such a long-distance raid, the soldiers must be given enough rest time.

"Decree, after entering the grain camp, just set fires everywhere." Looking at the huge grain area in front of him, Cao Cao looked envious, and it would be great if he could own the grain.

"Promise!" On the horseback, Xiahou Dun clasped his fists to make the promise, and then whispered to the Cao Jun soldiers behind him: "Send the order, rush into the Wuchao, and set fire everywhere!"

After the general order was issued, Cao Cao waited quietly.Waiting for the moment when the vanguard seizes the gate of the camp, they can rush forward.
