Chapter 790 Mid-time has arrived

When Zhang Fei heard that Pang Tong obstructed him from splitting his troops and chasing Cao Cao, he became anxious:

"Shi Yuan, what do you mean? The great achievements are right in front of you. You are stopping me from killing the enemy. Do you want Zilong to take more of this help? Tell me, is it better for Zilong to have an old friend with you!"

Pang Tong heard it angry and funny: "General Cheqi and Cavalry! What's the point! Is it time to win the merits? General Zhao and I have always had no reason to get along with each other.

Please think carefully. Cao Cao is resourceful and well versed in military tactics. If our army scouts spy on Cao's camp, would he not know? He knew it but did not send many cavalry to intercept and kill the scouts, or just pretended, which means that Cao Cao didn't mind our army's control of the movements of his stay.

Now, he deliberately did not burn the remaining grain in the camp and left it to us, pretending to be afraid that our army immediately knew that he was going to fight General Zhao, but he was afraid of fraud.

With Cao Cao's use of troops, whenever he withdraws, he must use elite troops to cut off the rear. The general only pursues our cavalry. If it is daytime, there may be no danger and he can still break through with the cavalry quickly.

But now it is night. If Cao Cao sets up an ambush on three sides and hides the two armies, it will be dangerous. If the general doesn’t believe it, he can keep a distance from a distance and keep a close eye on Cao’s army, not seeking to fight, see how far he can retreat overnight and whether he really retreats at full speed. If it proves that what I said is wrong tomorrow morning, he will be able to pursue the general in the future."

Zhang Fei thought it made sense. It was not too late to let the infantry and cavalry go out of touch and chase them at full speed.

It’s true that Cao Cao left in the evening, Zhang Fei started chasing him at the beginning of the day, and approached the back of Cao’s army.

But then Zhang Fei maintained a cautious speed of infantry and cavalry coordination. Both sides used torches to illuminate them and marched along Yishui. At night, he could still listen to the sound of water to ensure direction.

I just walked two updates. By the third update, the distance between the two sides was always so far, and I didn’t see the Cao army infantry on the boat and how fast the large army was running.

Moreover, both sides always had some troops at the same time, traveling on the south and north banks of Yishui.

Zhang Fei wanted to keep troops on the south bank because he was afraid that if there was no one left on the south bank at all, Cao Cao took a short time to directly lean on the south bank and abandoned the ship and withdrew his troops. In that way, Zhang Fei would be unable to catch up. Even if he divided his troops across the river and chased the south bank, he would be attacked by Cao Cao halfway.

Both sides had been working on the third update, and Cao Cao seemed to realize that Zhang Fei, a stubborn man, had not hit his plan, and was very discouraged. This made the intercepting troops that were ambushed on the main wings without torches gradually gathered onto the ship and fled at full speed.

Although Zhang Fei didn't know what was happening opposite, he could at least reverse the result. Seeing that Cao's army marched slowly in the middle of the night and suddenly accelerated in the middle of the night, he knew that Cao Cao was giving him a chance to pursue him in the middle of the night.

Zhang Fei couldn't help but feel worried, and since then he was convinced of Pang Tong's advice:

"Thanks to Shi Yuan's caution, otherwise I would have been deceived by the food and supplies that Cao Cao left in the camp for free. I thought he was so panicked that he was withdrawing his troops. This was the elite soldiers who were cut off and waited for me in the middle of the night! He accelerated until he took the bait!"

...

Cao Cao on the opposite side was indeed depressed. In fact, if he knew that Zhang Fei had staff officer Pang Tong around him and his IQ and reputation, he would not do such useless efforts to show the blind man a glare.

He wasted half a night of opportunity to get a distance away. He had already driven the boat at full speed at the beginning of the day, and by dawn, he would have thrown Zhang Fei at least twenty miles away.

Moreover, if you know that Zhang Fei is cautious and not too close, Cao Cao actually had a better choice, so he could choose to immediately change from Cheng Yu's central strategy to the most conservative worst-case scenario, that is, decisively abandon all ships and supplies and let the troops cross the river and retreat. Maybe you can withdraw a little more. When Zhang Fei reacts and then test it carefully, he will stick it up. It is estimated that more than 10,000 troops with broken rears will be left, and the others can be withdrawn.

But the problem is that it takes time to judge the other party’s judgment, and the result is that it is missed in suspicion.

This feeling is like being five or five or four by the enemy during competition. This group obviously cannot be picked up, but fortunately, there will be a time difference between the party who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the

As a result, Cao Cao's plan was based on the preset that "a common man like Zhang Fei must be very busy", so he decided to squat in the grass and pretend to read back to the city, but in fact he killed his face and left the enemy who kept others.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't come, and squatted for eight seconds in vain, wasting a reading time for returning to the city. When you want to go back, the enemy's main force will arrive soon, and a team controller can interrupt the reading.

Who made Pang Tong not have a military scheming reputation and lacked the opportunity to make meritorious achievements before? One is in secret and the other is in the light. Pang Tong understands Cao Cao but Cao Cao does not understand his opponent.

Time is saved a little bit, and it is also a little bit wasteful.

The location of Cao's army was only two days away from Zhao Yun's troops. In this case, the difference in the middle of the night was not short.

There were three more such operation delays and minor decision-making mistakes, and Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun successfully joined forces. At that time, Cao Cao may not be able to fight. The longer he delayed, the more unfavorable it would be for him. If he wanted to withdraw his troops, he would face more swallowing of the troops behind the palace, which would only make the more difficult it would be.

Cao Cao knew this well, so he tried his best to get off the road with Zhang Fei for a day and a half. He accelerated his march after dawn, hoping to seize the opportunity to defeat Zhao Yun alone. If he missed a single blow, he would not have a chance to hesitate and he had to cut off his tail and survive immediately.

Another day and one night later, Cao Cao left Zhang Fei for seventy or eighty miles away, and asked the troops to take a nap and rest in the second half of the night to recover their strength. Then, in the early morning of the third day, he finally caught Zhao Yun's troops coming from the downstream.

Zhao Yun has been camping at the mouth of the Yishui River to wait for work, and has the only main goal to cut off the Yishui channel. He is not tempted by other small targets at all. He is very calm at first glance.

Of course, because I have only been here for a day or two, Zhao Yun’s camp has no fortifications, which is very different from Zhang Fei’s camp outside Yijing Tower.

So if Cao Cao wanted to attack Zhao Yun's camp, it would basically be equivalent to fighting a field battle, without any punishment for terrain disadvantages.

Zhao Yun had no intention of relying on the camp to fight Cao Cao in position. He was mainly cavalry, so of course he had to fight mobile warfare.

As he came along the way, Cao Cao also collected more information about the strength of Zhao Yun's army. After all, every day, Cao soldiers who retreated from Quanzhou Port Water Village reported the news. After putting together these military information, Zhao Yun's strength was already very clear.

Cao Cao already knew that Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci brought a total of 30,000 troops to stop his return this time. Among them, Zhao Yun had 10,000 elite cavalry and Taishi Ci had 20,000 navy. He was the kind of old water ghost who never went ashore to fight you on land, and hid on the big sand boat to fight against you.

If you want to annihilate Taishici, unless Cao's army is all on board and blocked in Yishui to fight him, it is not realistic. Cao's army's infantry and cavalry are too poor in water, and their combat effectiveness is seriously reduced when it comes to the water.

Moreover, Cao Cao already knew that Taishici's ship was better than the one he made Lu Xun, and his professional naval combat equipment was stronger. Taishici's military source was probably also proficient in water in the land of Wu and Yue. With his own shortcomings and attacking the enemy's strengths, even 90,000 people may not be able to fight over 20,000 professional navy.

Therefore, Cao Cao gave up dealing with Taishi Ci, as long as Taishi Ci didn't come ashore to provoke him.

The most priority now is to destroy Zhao Yun's 10,000 cavalry, and it is best to kill Zhao Yun himself.

After doing this, even if the water blockade cannot be broken through, Cao's army can still have a time difference (the time difference before Zhang Fei arrived), and at the cost of giving up the ship, everyone can cross the river and retreat safely.

At worst, before crossing the river, some ships were sunk in a narrow place in Yishui, blocking the channel so that Taishici could not get through. If Taishici wanted to block it, he had to go ashore to fight with you, and that would hit Cao's army's thoughts.

...

Unfortunately, all these ideas were not satisfied with the initial prerequisite.

Zhao Yun's cautious, slick and mobility quickly impressed Cao Cao, who had fought head-on for the first time, for the first time.

Cao Cao only had a time difference of "seventy miles away from Zhang Fei", and he could only deal with Zhao Yun alone during the day.

Zhao Yun is like a thorn in his bones. He can't get rid of it and will not fight hard with you. There are obviously a considerable proportion of the cavalry with breastplate cavalry, but he can still exert the cavalry of Youzhou gusts to the extreme.

Today, Ma Chao is the number one master in front of the Iron Cavalry assault.

Zhao Yun is the number one master of the archer Parthia's tactics.

Lu Bu is the best expert in comprehensively combining these two technical and tactical skills and the best score in cavalry far and close combat.

Cao Cao asked Zhang He to Gao Lan Xiahou Dun Le Jin and others to assemble all the cavalry of Cao's army, trying to drive away the oppressive Zhao Yun's moves and forcibly fought a head-on battle, but Zhao Yun flew a kite for a day and lost thousands of combat power in vain.

Moreover, Zhao Yun's style is very fierce. After forcing Cao Cao to escape, he dared to force him up. Even when there were fewer people, he would assign some light cavalry scouts to the south bank to monitor and harass him. Anyway, he would not give you a chance to cross the river. Once there was a tendency to cross the river, he would attack your rear army.

It was almost evening again, and Cao Cao knew that he could never wait any longer. Because Zhang Fei was about to arrive tonight, if Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun chased him with all their might, he would not be able to escape.

Even if he was reluctant and was hit by Zhao Yun, Cao Cao still had to cut off his arm, and it was even greater than the price he paid two days ago.

Cao Cao ordered dozens of sand boats to find, and blocked the waterway at both ends of the Yishui River that was about to cross the river, so that other ships would not be allowed to come. Then, all the remaining Cao troops on the north bank tried to cross to the south bank in batches.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Yun was also very skilled and brave. He actually dared to divide his 10,000 cavalry into two parts. All the iron armored melee cavalry were left on the north shore, preparing to charge against the last enemy behind the palace.

His archers and cavalrymen asked Taishi Ci to cross from the downstream to the south bank first, and then harassed You Dou and fire arrows at the troops that had not yet established a stable foothold on the south bank. After all, it was impossible for Cao's army to set up a gun array from the beginning and shoot with strong crossbows in the center. The archers and cavalrymen were not afraid of counter-suppression of the infantry crossbow formation.

In this way, Zhao Yun's troops were harassed by him in Henan and Hebei, which naturally could greatly delay the speed of Cao's army's retreat across the river.

Although Taishici's navy was isolated from the battlefield, Taishici was not outdone. He divided some ships that could be given up, as well as some temporary rafts, carrying more objects that caused fire, collided with reefs made by Cao's army's wrecks, and ignited a fire on the river.

Although it did not destroy the reefs, it also provided battlefield lighting for Zhao Yun's pursuit and also blocked the position of some Cao's retreat routes. Moreover, when one side retreated, a large fire on the battlefield could easily create chaos, making the fleeing side even more panic.

The decision that was not wrong at the beginning was because Cao Cao wanted to operate and save him, and he rushed to the dilemma of losing more and more.

At the same time, Zhao Yun also informed Zhang Fei in advance and asked Zhang Fei to accelerate and attack.

At this critical moment, Zhang Fei should know that his 30,000 infantry could not catch up with the pursuit and stop Cao's army from crossing the river. What he needed now was Zhang Fei's cavalry troops to speed up and leave and come to sweep the tail with Zhao Yun.

After Zhang Fei received the news from Zhao Yun, he became more careful this time and asked Pang Tong for his opinion.

Pang Tong directly instigated: "What else can I hesitate at this moment? Now it's time to break down. General Zhao has confirmed that Cao's thieves are retreating across the river. Where can Cao's thieves have the remaining strength to set up an ambush and fight back? Please don't worry about our infantry and cavalry disconnection, and chase with all our strength!"

Now is the time to grab credit!

Zhang Fei immediately took all the cavalry and chased Xu Huang frantically, letting Superintendent Que Yi lead the main infantry force of the rear army to take it slowly. He and Xu Huang finally chased Cao Cao at the beginning of the third day.

When Zhang Fei arrived, the north bank of Yishui was already a bloody Shura slaughterhouse.

The elite cavalry of Cao's army retreated the fastest, and at this moment they were all on the south bank. And as the cavalry all flew away, the archers and cavalrymen who flew kites and were finally driven away from the landing ground.

However, as Cao's army became fewer and fewer on the north bank, the strength comparison between the two sides gradually tilted. Zhao Yun led five thousand iron-armored cavalry to repeatedly find weak places to conflict, stabbed the river bank like a dagger and harvested the sickle, and split the Cao's tails and goods into pieces.

Of course, Cao's army also formed a battle against each other, causing some damage to Zhao Yun, but he was declining and could not beat him.
