Chapter 179: Hu Zi's First Battle

On April 6th, in the third year of Jian'an (197 AD), Cao Hong and Guo Jia led the Xiongnu army to engage in battle with the Yuan army commanded by Wen Chou and Guo Tu at Hu Zi. Translated content:

It was a continuous downpour, with muddy roads. The two armies faced each other without exchanging words and started the battle directly.

Guo Jia sat on a war chariot covered with a green silk umbrella, observing the ongoing battle ahead.

To be honest, Guo Jia didn't want to ride in the war chariot. He preferred to sit on the warhorse and command the army. However, he couldn't resist Wang Ji Ran's insistence this time. After being exposed to the rain for a while, Guo Jia unexpectedly caught a cold right before the two armies were about to engage in battle. Logically, Guo Jia should not continue to stay on the front lines, but he was unwilling to retreat in his heart.

Everyone tried to persuade Guo Jia but failed, their attention turned to the female bodyguard beside him.

Although Guo Jia has not admitted it yet, everyone believes that she will definitely become the future wife of military advisor.

郭嘉这人,模样出众。一张白狐俏脸,一双细长桃花眸宛若秋水,搭配着他那身青衫,披肩长发,放浪形骸,洒脱不羁。尤其当他嘴角微微挑起的时候,更是能令少女目眩神迷。许都城中多少世家大族和无数文武高官都曾向郭嘉提出过一些结亲的意思,但是郭嘉向来都是一一拒绝。

说实话,谁都看得出郭嘉和曹操之间的关系,所以,能和郭嘉结亲,也就意味着和曹操从此穿上同一条裤子,也算和曹操搭上了亲家的关系了。再加上郭嘉无论相貌、人品还是才干、名声,都是当今天下的翘楚。年过五五(二十五岁)却未成亲,听说向来不亲近什么女子,一度让众人怀疑是其有龙阳之好。后来许都城中有过流言,传闻郭嘉早年曾被一女子伤过心,但对那女子仍旧念念不忘,故而不愿与其他女子亲近。后经曹操和荀彧的亲口证实,众人也不禁暗骂是哪家人的女子如此没有眼力见,导致郭嘉到现在都是这般样子。

However, this does not prevent others from carrying out their own marriage plans. Guo Jia's life is nothing more than the Sikong Mansion,

... However, surprisingly, there is a woman by the side of Guo Jia, who has never been involved with women for years!

Cao Hong also discovered that he couldn't perceive the martial arts realm of this woman. What does this indicate? He is a mid-level second-rate general, and if even he can't perceive it, it means that this woman either has no martial arts skills at all, or her realm is even higher than his! And since Guo Jia appointed her as a guard, it means she definitely has martial arts abilities, so it must be the latter!

According to rumors, this female guard had supposedly attempted to assassinate Guo Jia a month ago, and both of them were gravely injured.

I never expected that you, Sir, would be fond of such tales.

But returning to the point, when Wang Jiran felt the gazes of everyone, her delicate face couldn't help but blush. She had heard of Guo Jia's achievements from Dian Wei. She understood that everyone wanted her to persuade Guo Jia to leave the battlefield and seek safety. However, she knew Guo Jia's heart; he was a proud man. If they forced him to withdraw before the battle, it would be more distressing than killing him. Translation: According to rumors, this female guard reportedly attempted to assassinate Guo Jia a month ago, and both of them sustained serious injuries.

So Wang Jiran did not persuade Guo Jia to leave. Seeing Guo Jia feeling a bit dizzy and lightheaded due to catching a cold, Wang Jiran embraced him with a tender heart and whispered, "I know you don't want to leave, but you can't stand in the rain anymore. Sit in the war chariot and command, I'll accompany you."

没有强硬地要求,也没有低三下四的乞求,只有温柔的体谅,郭嘉同意了。

郭嘉在王姬然的搀扶下坐上了战车,用曹操曾经赐予他的青罗伞盖挡雨。

(曹操:mmp,这玩意是用来挡雨的吗!)

郭嘉看到袁军阵前突然闪出一支三千人的步军,人人手持一杆铁枪,便料定这是文丑的铁枪卫。

“Can we establish dominance and boost morale with the Iron Spear Guards?” murmured Guo Jia, then he swung the battle flag and shouted, "Order the archers to release a volley and repel the Iron Spear Guards with a rain of arrows!"

Indeed, although the Iron Spear Guards were skilled in martial arts and formed formidable formations that even top-notch warriors like Dian Wei had to approach with caution, their defense was lacking, especially against arrows. Without sufficient armor, they became easy targets!

文丑本想亲自率领铁甲卫出击,取下一些战果让麾下大军涨涨士气,想不到郭嘉根本不给他这个机会,直接乱箭射过来。

文丑愤怒地挥舞手中暴铁枪,拨开这一支支箭矢,下令铁枪卫后撤,盾牌手上前。毕竟这一个个铁枪卫可都是宝贝,要死也应该死在短兵相接的时候,不应该死在这种情况下。

Seeing this situation, I suggest that Wenchou first send out 30,000 infantry to charge head-on and attract the attention of the Cao army. Then, send out 3,000 cavalry from the army to launch a surprise attack on the left flank of the Cao army. After that, the Iron Spear Battalion can launch an attack from the front. By that time, whether the frontal infantry or the cavalry attacking the left flank have achieved any kills, the Iron Spear Battalion does not need to worry about being shot by the Cao army's archers. When both armies are engaged in close combat, they won't be able to distinguish friend from foe and can't shoot arrows, can they?

Wen Chou was delighted after listening and adopted Guo Tu's suggestion.

When the 30,000 infantry of the Yuan army launched a frontal charge against the Cao army, Cao's front-line commander Lu Zhao just smiled faintly.

Lu Zhao joined the Cao army only during the Cao army's counterattack on Yuzhou. Due to his impressive martial arts skills and extensive knowledge of military strategy since childhood, he served as a captain in Xiahou Yuan's army. Later, during the first military council, he was recruited by Cao Hong and became Cao Hong's confidant.

Lu Zhao, under the command of Cao Hong, is undoubtedly in his element. With his understanding of human relationships and impressive strategic talent, he has naturally won Cao Hong's favor and has almost become the deputy general of the War Bear Army. Although he holds the title of Captain, everyone in the War Bear Army knows that he is absolutely Cao Hong's most trusted confidant.

“校尉,是否要放箭?”一名军卒看向路招,开口询问道。

路招淡定地看向袁军冲锋的势头,三万大军,可不是小数,不过他却不急。

Jian Lu and Zhao did not speak again, but their eyes were fixed on the battlefield, growing increasingly anxious about the current situation.

The Yuan infantry saw that the Cao army did not release any arrows, thinking that the Cao army's front command was frightened. They took this opportunity to advance a full 150 steps, now just 150 steps away from the Cao army's front command.

"Captain, why don't we shoot arrows yet? The enemy army is only 150 steps away from us!" The soldier's impatience was growing.
