Chapter 778

The whereabouts of Chang'an soldiers and horses have always been the concern of Huangfu Chaobo. After receiving the news that Guo and Li did not send any more troops to Hongnong, everyone in Luoyang was relieved. Now at least the west side is safe.

Is this the first time that Huangfu Chaobo has tasted the taste of being besieged. Although every time he was lucky, only he knew what it was like. On several occasions, he used to laugh with Pang Tong. Maybe this is what people often say.

Zhou Tai's fleet escorted Xu Rong and his group of dozens of ships to Liyang port, then handed over the fleet to Pan Feng, who sent 10000 water troops to escort Xu Rong to continue to go east. According to Huangfu Chaobo's request, Xu Rong's 20000 troops will disembark at Baima port and join the Yanzhou battlefield to deal with Cao Cao's troops, but tens of thousands of family members will continue to go east and will be placed in Donglai, Qingzhou.

After the end of the war, Xu Rong's Qianniu camp will be arranged in Qingzhou, guarding Qingzhou together with Meng Gang's Canglang camp, threatening Cao Cao's East. Huangfu Chaobo believed that Xu Rong's ability, in time, would be enough to drive Cao Cao's army out of Qingzhou.

At present, only Huang Zhong can be compared with Xu Rong in the ability of commanding troops under Huangfu Chaobo's command. Even Zhao Yun is far behind. Xu Rong grew up one by one under Dong Zhuo's command. When the princes were fighting for Dong, he was able to command tens of thousands of troops to fight against Cao Cao. Zhao Yun only started to lead the troops in recent years.

On October 5, Xu Rong's 20000 troops landed at Baima port. With more than 10000 soldiers of Zhao Yunlong's camp in Baima city and 20000 garrisons in Baima city and Baima port, the strength of Sizhou army concentrated in Baima has reached 50000, which is basically equal to Cao Cao's troops.

After receiving the news of the increase of Sizhou army, Cao Cao, who was besieging Baima City, immediately led the troops to get out of the siege. The army retreated 20 Li and set up camp again, waiting for a decisive battle between the two sides. At that time, Cao Cao's army had only 40000 troops, including less than 10000 heavy infantry and Qingzhou soldiers, and 10000 tiger and leopard riders. After several days of siege, the ordinary infantry had lost nearly 10000 soldiers and retained more than 10000 soldiers.

After setting up camp again, Cao Cao ordered 10000 ordinary soldiers from Puyang to increase the number of troops to 50000 again.

In order to repel Cao Cao's army, Huangfu Chaobo led nearly ten thousand troops to Baima to join Xu Rong and Zhao Yun.

As a result, the number of soldiers and horses in Sizhou army, in addition to Huangfu Chaobo's 10000 Pro guard camp, Zhao Yunlong's 8000 soldiers in Xiangying camp and 5000 soldiers in Baima Yicong camp, Xu Rong's 10000 soldiers in niuying camp and 10000 garrisons, and then a school of garrisons was drawn from Baima City and Baima port. The total number of soldiers and horses was 50000, and the two armies were basically equal.

After discussion, they decided to fight Cao Cao Jun in the field.

On October 10, Huangfu Chaobo 50000 Sizhou army and Cao Cao 50000 Yanzhou army refused each other in a place called Baidaokou between Baima and Puyang, and the war between the two sides was imminent.

In this war, Huangfu Chaobo handed over the command to Xu Rong. In order to appease Zhao Yun, Huangfu Chaobo specially recruited him and prepared to appease him. To his delight, Zhao Yun did not have any dissatisfaction. Instead, he said that he had long admired Xu Rong's talents. This war is a good opportunity for him to learn.

Huangfu Chaobo was relieved, but it was a rare learning opportunity for Zhao Yun. Even Huangfu Chaobo himself had only seen the field battle of more than 100000 cavalry troops, let alone Zhao Yun, twice. It was still the battle when the princes were fighting for Dong, so this was just an opportunity for Zhao Yun.

For the coming war, Huangfu Chaobo is also very looking forward to it. Xu rongnai is a handsome man. Although he knows it in his heart, the generals of Anton's mansion don't know it very well. Therefore, the generals in the army are dissatisfied with Huangfu Chaobo's emphasis on a demoted general. So this war is also a test for Xu Rong.

Cao CaoJun has attacked Sizhou several times, so both Huangfu Chaobo and the generals hate Cao CaoJun very much. Therefore, when Huangfu Chaobo handed over the command to Xu Rong, he just said: "give me a hard fight. Only when you hurt him, you will remember things. Otherwise, this guy wants to provoke us in three days."

After a detailed understanding of the combat effectiveness of both sides, Xu Rong quickly made detailed arrangements for the war.

Although the number of soldiers and horses on both sides was equal, the strength of Sizhou army was slightly stronger than Cao Cao's Yanzhou army. So after thinking about it, Xu Rong decided to defeat Cao Cao's army with a grand array.

In terms of the arrangement of troops, Xu Rong ranked Zhao Yun's two regiments of Longxiang camp and his own regiment of Qianniu camp in the front of the formation. Their three regiments, with a total of nearly 15000 troops, will be the front of the formation, facing Cao Cao's army.

Behind the soldiers of the three schools are Zhao cenyuan's Crossbow soldiers, with Gao shunshen camp and Chen JINGTIE Yingrui soldiers on both sides. Although the number of trapped camp and Iron Eagle sharp soldiers is not much, it is the sharp blade for Xu Rong to break through Cao Cao's army, while Yuanrong crossbow soldiers provide cover for the two forces to break through.

After the three school soldiers of the current Army stabilized the front, the trapped camp and the Iron Eagle soldiers began to break through the Cao formation under the cover of the yuan army crossbow soldiers. The barracks entered immediately after the two units.

The reason why Xu Rong dares to make such an arrangement is also his own. Whether it's the Longxiang camp or the Qianniu camp, the soldiers are veteran soldiers for many years, but Cao CaoJun is not. Although heavy infantry and tiger and leopard riding are strong, they have only been trained for more than half a year, and the speed and flexibility are relatively limited.Qingzhou soldiers are strong in attack, but their defense is mediocre. Once they break through the formation, they have a lot to do. This is the experience of general Si Zhouzhong when Qingzhou soldiers besieged Huangfu Chaobo's Chinese army last time.

Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry is one of the few quasi heavy cavalry in the game. If you encounter a footman without cavalry, his 10000 cavalry can sweep tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of footmen, but now there are 10000 light cavalry and 5000 quasi heavy cavalry in Sizhou army, you can only ha ha.

Behind them were 15000 soldiers guarding the barracks. Their role was to follow the barracks and fight into the enemy's line.

There are less than 35000 soldiers in total. In addition to the 500 Tiebi battalions guarding the central army of Huangfu Chaobo, there are 2500 ordinary soldiers and nurses in the central army. However, their armor is dressed up as the central camp of Huangfu Chaobo's Pro guard camp and the Iron Eagle sharp soldiers. Their troops are arranged in the battle array.

The fifteen thousand cavalry, Baima Yicong and Xiliang iron cavalry, were arranged by Xu Rong on both sides of the infantry to protect the two wings of the army, while the five thousand Turkmen cavalry of the pro guard camp and the iron wall camp guarded the central army. When the time is ripe, the five thousand Turkmen cavalry will be the last straw to kill the camel.
