Judging from the classic examples in the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao is the first martial god of the T

Cao Cao's decision to use troops at the right time was vividly reflected in several major battles that determined the success or failure of the Guandu Campaign.

During the Battle of Guandu, there were several battles that affected the situation of the battle.

To summarize, it can be classified as follows.

1) There are two roundabout raid battles.

They attacked the white horse and killed Yan Liang in the first battle, and defeated Yuan Shao's army;

The last battle. The night attack on Wuchao destroyed Hebei's logistics with one blow, prompting the general collapse of Yuan Shao's army.

2) There was also a counter-assault battle on the way back, defeating the pursuing Hebei cavalry, Zhu Wenchou.

3) and the confrontation between the positions of the two armies, which lasted for more than half a year, and the offensive and defensive battles of the barracks, the sabotage of the grain routes, and so on.

The real battles recorded in the history books are not inferior to the movie blockbusters.

Cao Gong led the army and traveled to the white horse, and before he reached more than ten miles, he was shocked and came to fight against him. Make Zhang Liao and Guan Yu ascend forward, break and behead. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Yuan Shaozi led the main army of more than 100,000 people to cross the river, and sent Yan Liang and other generals to lead a partial division to besiege Liu Yanyu Baima, the Taishou of Dongjun.

Cao Cao first pretended to want to cross the river and copy Yuan Shao's back road.

And when Yuan Shao mobilized his troops to deploy defenses, he suddenly turned his troops around, doubled his way, and hurriedly marched to attack Baima.

After marching to a distance of only ten miles from Yan Liang's army, the Hebei military noticed that Cao's army was coming.

When Yan Liang heard the report, he was shocked, hurriedly reorganized the team, and personally led the army to meet Cao.

Cao Cao sent Zhang Liao and Guan Yu to take the lead in the assault; Xu Huang and others were the second team, and the columns attacked Yan Liang.

Guan Yu saw Yan Liang's general in the fierce battle, so he spurred Liang in the crowd and beheaded him. The Hebei commander was killed, morale was low, and he was defeated.

In the battle of beheading Yan Liang, Guan Yu was certainly brave. But the victory in this battle was by no means relying on Guan Yu's bravery, but Cao Cao's surprise victory, and the surprise attack of light troops caught Yan Liang off guard.

If it had nothing to do with Yu, Cao's army would still have won a big victory.

Yan Liang was killed, and the Hebei Army's two-way attack failed. Yuan Shao was furious and ordered the whole army to attack in a big way.

And the vanguard of Yuan Shao's army was the 6,000 cavalry led by the generals Wen Chou and Liu Bei.

Cao Cao due to the lack of troops. And the enemy army is numerous, and it is menacing. Therefore, it was decided to withdraw to Baima, but the people of Baima were moved, and the army and civilians were escorted by Cao Jun to withdraw westward along the river to avoid the enemy's edge.

"If you lose land, you will gain both people and land. "Cao Cao gave up the White Horse, but moved west to the White Horse army and civilians to preserve the population, which is why.

When the enemy is in hot pursuit, destroying one of them can frustrate its edge and make it dare not pursue again. This is also the art of war.

He also ordered the people of Baima to pack lightly into the camp, and abandoned all their baggage and wealth in the roads along the way.

And in this way, most of the generals do not understand.

One after another, Cao Cao said:

The enemy's cavalry is numerous, and it is imminent to take the wealth into the camp at once, so as not to be robbed by the enemy.

Wei Xun Yu smiled and said to the generals:

But you don't know that the prime minister is trying to lure the enemy with this. ”

It dawned on everyone.

At this time, there were less than six hundred cavalry in the army.

Cao Cao first concentrated 600 horsemen and ordered all the cavalry to unsaddle and release their horses, so that the men and horses could nourish their spirits.

Before the cavalry launched an attack, it was necessary to store horsepower, which was the ancient cavalry combat principle.

Leaning slightly, the sentry came to report: five or six hundred enemy cavalry.

After a while, it was reported that the more enemy cavalry, the innumerable infantry.

Soon after, there was a lot of smoke and dust in front of me, and the sound of hooves was like thunder.

Hebei cavalry generals Wen Chou and Liu Bei, led five or six thousand cavalry, and galloped one after another.

The enemy cavalry was surging, and the generals of Cao Ying asked for their lives

Cavalry can be mounted to attack. ”

Cao Cao said, "No! ”

Only ordered the cavalry to saddle and continue to sit on the ground.

Hebei cavalry, fierce and fast. But there is a problem, that is, there are many Beidi Zahu who serve in the army, and Yuan Shao is not strict in governing the army and has poor discipline.

There are a large number of Karasuma Hu cavalry in the Hebei army, see "Three Kingdoms". Zhao Zhao Chuan", Zhao Zhao once commanded the Karasuma Raid under Yuan Shao.

He also thought that his army would not dare to attack because of his large army, so he stationed his horses and fought for property. The marching array was in chaos.

In ancient wars, once the array and formation were chaotic in front of the enemy, they could no longer form a joint force, and they could not effectively command, which was very fatal and really dead.

Therefore, Cao Cao ordered the cavalry, which had already been saddled and ready for action, to mount their horses and attack.

Cao Cao personally put on armor and took the lead.

The 600 cavalry, led by Xu Huang and other generals, were brave and like tigers and leopards, and launched a fierce counter-assault against the Hebei cavalry army.

The enemy horsemen, who were fighting for property, were unable to organize an effective defensive counterattack because the ranks were already in disarray.

The enemy army was defeated, and Liu Bei was defeated and fled. Wen Chou was caught in a scuffle and was beheaded by the knights of the Cao army.

The 600 cavalry broke the 6,000 cavalry, and the Hebei army suffered another defeat.

First beheaded Yan Liang, then punished Wen Chou, and the two famous generals in Hebei were all mourned.

After this battle, the morale of Yuan Shao's army suffered a serious setback.

The officers and men of Cao's army were inspired by the victory, and although the enemy was outnumbered, they still worked hard to fight, thus laying the foundation for the courage to use inferior forces to engage in a confrontation with superior enemy forces for nearly a year, until they persevered until victory.

Marching, camping, and transporting grain and grass to and from in ancient warfare were all life-and-death matters.

A brief description of the march. The marching team should be divided into forwards, rear guards and left and right wings, supporting each other, and the light cavalry should be in front of the team and the two wings every three or five miles, and a dozen miles should be released one by one, in order to give early warning in the event of an enemy situation, so that the team in the marching state can be transferred to the battle state in an orderly manner, and the soldiers should wear armor and bow and crossbow, and prepare for battle.

Camping. The camping should be studied and hardened, especially in the case of a strong enemy, and deep ditches and high fortifications should be built.

During the confrontation at Guandu, Cao's troops were scattered in various key passes, and Cao Cao's main force of the Chinese army that confronted Yuan Shao was only more than 10,000 people.

Yuan Shao's army on the opposite side had nearly 100,000 people, and the company camped for dozens of miles.

As a result, Cao Jun's fortifications were built into a real hard village, which was as hard as a rock.

The enemy had gathered heavy troops, and Cao's army had fought several unfavorable battles, so he firmly fortified his camp and held the main road.

Yuan Shao's army attacked Cao Ying, first arrived at the pile of soil into a mountain, and then built a building on the mountain, hung it outside the building with a big shield, called the Lou Lu, and mobilized the bow and crossbow hand upstairs, condescending, and shot Cao Ying, every time he attacked, it was a thousand crossbows to compete, and the arrows were like a rainstorm.

Give back to others in their way. Of course, Cao Jun was not willing to be beaten passively.

He also built a mountain of soil in the camp, and because of the ban on leading troops to supervise and guard, he shot at Yuan Shaojun.

But it was not as large as Hebei's troops, and the enemy's archers were several times that of me. The two armies fired at each other, and Cao's army was obviously inferior.

Cao Ying was always under the control of the enemy's arrow rain, and the soldiers walked in the camp, all of them had to hold their shields high, and the fear of the masses increased day by day.

How to destroy the towers and crossbowmen on the enemy's earth mountain is already a matter of survival for Cao's army.

Cao Cao dispatched craftsmen with the army, made thunderbolts, and threw stone cannons to bombard Yuan's soil mountain.

In the end, the stone cannon defeated the crossbow, and the Cao army destroyed the turret built by the Yuan army, and the threat was lifted.

(Schematic diagram of an ancient catapult).

"Liutao" said: There are 10,000 soldiers and 300 craftsmen with the army. It can be known that when the ancient army went to war, there must be craftsmen accompanying the army. The power of technology must not be overlooked.

After Yuan Jun let the stone cannon bombard down the earth mountain.

As soon as he saw that he couldn't attack from a high place, he hit the idea underground, dug tunnels, and wanted to attack Cao Ying.

Cao Jun dug another deep trench in the camp, cut off the tunnel, and smashed Yuan Jun's plot.

For more than three months, Yuan Shao had many troops and generals, but he was helpless against Cao's army's strong defense.

During the confrontation between the barracks of the two armies, the two sides also carried out attacks and counter-attacks around their respective grain routes.

If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry, and the food will be safe, which has been related to the success or failure of the war since ancient times.

In the maintenance of grain roads, Cao Cao is obviously far superior to Yuan Shao.

The person responsible for transporting grain to the front line of the Cao army was Ren Jun, the general of Diannong Zhonglang.

The advantage of the Hebei army is that there are many cavalry, and the enemy's light cavalry is out to copy the Cao army's grain route.

Cao Jun's countermeasure was to form a grain cart per thousand.

When the grain was transported to the front, it was divided into ten columns and marched in parallel, with 100 vehicles on each road, and marched in a defensive phalanx in cooperation with the guards and horses.

In this way, the grain convoy became a chariot formation, so that the enemy rangers did not dare to approach at all. So as to maintain the safety of the grain road.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao's protection of the grain road was far less thorough than Cao Jun's.

Cao Cao sent Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Shi Lian and others as guerrillas to intercept the grain road of Yuan Shao's army, and repeatedly made gains, burning thousands of grain wagons in Hebei, which once again dealt a heavy blow to the morale of Yuan Shao's army.

Icebergs don't melt in a day.

It was precisely in the repeated attacks on the grain road that Yuan Jun was already depressed.

Suddenly, the most important grain storage land, Wuchao, was destroyed again, so that Zhang He and other famous generals in Hebei surrendered out of despair, and Yuan Shao's army finally collapsed.

Before the Blacknest raid.

After a long period of continuous fighting, there were less than 10,000 combatable soldiers in Cao Cao's camp, and 23 out of 10 were wounded.

At this time, the soldiers of Cao's army had been exhausted from fighting for a long time, and only by relying on Cao Cao's belief in victory could they support the fighting spirit to continue to confront the strong enemy.

At the critical moment of the battle, Yuan Shao would severely reprimand Xu You, who held the secrets of the army, which prompted Xu You to defect and betray Yuan Shao's army's grain stronghold to Cao Cao.

The saying that details determine success or failure is true!

And when Cao Cao heard the information provided by Xu You, he realized that the opportunity for victory had arrived. Under the great joy, deigned to bow down and thank.

Any good military commander will never miss a fighter.

Cao Cao selected 5,000 elite infantry overnight and personally led the attack on the black nest.

Since he attacked the enemy's granary, he naturally couldn't do without arson. The night raiding troops each brought a bundle of firewood and grass, and under the banner of Yuan Jun, they marched quickly, passing through the Hebei Army defense line along the way, but they were not discovered.

It can be seen that any victory is not accidental, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's ability to govern the army, the comparison of the quality of the two armies, and the judgment of superiority.

Unlike the Wuchao defenders in the romance who were vulnerable in panic, Chun Yuqiong, the Hebei general stationed in Wuchao, the combat effectiveness of the troops under his command was not weak.

Cao's army set off in the middle of the night and arrived at Wuchao at dawn.

Chun Yuqiong and other generals stationed in Wuchao Hebei had more than 10,000 troops, while Cao's army only had 5,000.

As a result, Chun Yuqiong bullied Cao Cao's few soldiers and led his troops to line up outside the village, intending to annihilate Cao's army in a field battle.

In the battle between the two armies, Sergeant Cao desperately assaulted, Chun Yuqiong was defeated and retreated into the camp.

Cao's army continued to storm the camp and set fire to the enemy camp with rockets.

Yuan Shao heard that Wuchao was attacked, mobilized men and horses, and attacked the Cao army camp all the way to the empty army, and rescued Wuchao all the way.

Wuchao is about forty miles away from Yuan Shao's camp, so by the time Yuan Jun heard the news and transferred troops to come, half a day had already passed.

And when the Hebei reinforcements will reach Wuchao, the Cao army is still fighting fiercely at this moment and has not yet captured Wuchao. It can also be seen from this that Chun Yuqiong and other Wuchao defenders are not straw bales.

Cao's army reprimanded and reported, and the enemy came to help the cavalry.

At this time, Cao's army marched and fought all night, and faced troops under the city. The situation of being attacked by the enemy on the abdomen and back.

Cao Cao's generals on the left and right were all worried, and urgently asked Cao Cao to divide his troops to resist the enemy.

Cao Cao angrily reprimanded: "Wait for the enemy's blade to be in my back."

The coach is so brave that the soldiers naturally fight first.

Captain Le Jin, the captain of Kou, first climbed the village and killed Chun Yuqiong.

At this point, the Wuchao was conquered, and the arson was set on a large scale, burning the grain of the Yuan army.

Smoke rose from the sky above the black nest. The prediction that the black nest has been broken, which brought great panic to Yuan Shao's army.

So Zhang He, a famous general who was besieging Cao's camp, asked for surrender. Finally, Yuan Shao's army collapsed.

And Cao Cao's "invasion is like fire, immovable like a mountain" shown in this battle, as well as the strategic command of the battle, the first soldier, perseverance, decisiveness, bravery, and the outnumbering of the people, and the weak to defeat the strong, etc., are really worthy of the name of the first martial god of the Three Kingdoms.

Cao Cao is compared to Yuan Shao, and his name is small and outnumbered, but he can Keshao, and the weak are strong, not only the time, but also the people. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".The Biography of Zhuge Liang

Before this battle, many of the world's heroes were not optimistic about Cao Cao.

Because Yuan Shao is several times larger than Cao Cao, regardless of the territory of the prefecture or county he is in, or the population, money, food, and troops in the jurisdiction.

He also has Hebei celebrities such as clouds, good generals, and brave soldiers. In terms of the balance of forces, Yuan's army accounted for almost all the winning factors.

However, in the end, Cao Cao Che defeated Yuan Shao and settled in the north.

After the war, Cao Jun found a large number of letters from the captured military books and documents to Yuan Shao. This was repaid, of course, immediately.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao didn't look at it, waved his big hand, and gave an order that stunned everyone.

It is to gather the letters and burn them all!

And Gu left and right said:

Whether he can defeat Yuan Shao or not, Lone himself doesn't know, let alone those people under him. Nothing will be investigated, and the matter will be burned! ”

With this heroic bearing, there is no second person in the Three Kingdoms.
