Chapter 982: Cao Mengde's soldiers are divided into two ways
"Keep going."
Twenty miles away, after a little rest, Cao Cao continued to move forward.
During the rest time, Zhao Yun and Guo Jia's grain team only walked four or five miles.
In front of the cavalry, it will be possible to catch up in a moment.
Zhao Yun had already taken over the three thousand cavalry that had come to support.
At this moment he himself rode his horse and walked in front of the grain caravan.
Cao Cao's spies, the situation of the investigation is very accurate.
After Zhao Yun took over the command of the cavalry, he really only controlled the surrounding ten miles of land.
As long as there are more than 100 people, they will inevitably be discovered by him as soon as possible.
He had a quarter of an hour to direct the cavalry to respond.
A quarter of an hour, that's more than enough.
The grain convoy was very long, and it was very difficult to completely prevent the enemy from approaching the grain wagon.
You may be walking on the side of the road, and suddenly a person will come out of the grass on the side.
Zhao Yun was in front of the grain team, and there were many cavalry in front of him.
He already knew that the person who might come to attack, Cao Bing, was five hundred cavalry.
Although there are 6,000 people guarding it, they can't be careless at all.
Among the only 500 Cao soldiers, a few people rushed to the grain cart and could easily set it on fire.
"The general is here."
Pei Yuanshao rode a war horse and rushed to Zhao Yun.
"Where? How many people are there? Zhao Yundao.
"It was discovered just ten miles away on the road ahead, and now it is at least seven or eight miles away from us. The brothers who reported it came back in a hurry to report it, and they couldn't fully confirm it, and there were almost 500 people. Pei Yuanshao said.
"Immediately lead a thousand cavalry and go and stop them." Zhao Yun ordered.
"Yes." Pei Yuanshao received the order and did not delay for a moment.
From the time he rushed to Zhao Yun to the time he rode away, it was only a few breaths.
Pei Yuanshao left, and Zhao Yun also turned around and returned to the front of the grain team and ordered to stop advancing.
"Zilong, has you discovered the enemy?" Guo Jiadao.
"Exactly, there is an enemy army blocking the road in front, and I have asked Pei Yuanshao to lead a thousand cavalry to intercept it." Zhao Yundao.
Guo Jia nodded, not panicking.
The battle was all handed over to Zhao Yun, and he would not interfere too much, at most he would give Zhao Yun a little advice.
"Sir, why did you stop?" Song Xian, who was behind the grain team, saw that the grain team stopped, so he came over and asked.
"The man who met Cao Cao." Guo Jiadao.
"Cao Cao really dares to come to intercept grain? How many of them are there? Song Xian asked.
"It's only five hundred, and they'll be wiped out later." Guo Jiadao.
Song Xian heard that there were only five hundred people, so he said again: "If I don't go too, I can finish it quickly, so that I can continue to hurry." ”
Zhao Yun said: "There are only 500 people, why do you need a general." Please also ask the general to take care of the rear, in case there is still Cao Jun in the rear. ”
"Haha." Song Xian laughed, didn't dare to refute Zhao Yun, and said, "Then I'll go to the back first." ”
Although Zhao Yun was younger than him, twenty days ago, he had only witnessed a dragon battle between Zhao Yun and Lu Bu.
Even if Zhao Yun was younger than him, he didn't dare to show off in front of Zhao Yun.
"Report, there is a cavalry of the Cao army in the rear."
Just when Zhao Yuncai asked Song Xian to return to the back, he immediately received another report from Tanmalai.
"How many are there?" Zhao Yun asked urgently.
"Yes, about four or five hundred." Exploration Horse Road.
The distance is a bit far, and the opponent is cavalry, running very fast, and the dust is very large, if it is not close enough, it is difficult to confirm the number of the opponent.
Even if you want to judge from the sound of horses' hooves, it is difficult.
Cao Cao's war horse, the hooves of the horses were wrapped in cotton cloth, and the sound was much quieter than the normal running of war horses.
"Didn't Cao Cao only send five hundred cavalry, how could there be so many people?" Guo Jiadao.
"I'll see it myself." Zhao Yun was also wondering.
On Xu Du's side, there have always been people staring, if there are five hundred more people, it is impossible to have no news.
Outside of Xudu, the men and horses in those cities have long been evacuated, and now in the north of Yanzhou, there is no trace of Cao's army at all.
"So Cao Cao should be divided into two ways."
Zhao Yun left, and Guo Jia almost figured it out in his heart.
There were 3,000 cavalry guarding the grain cart, and Cao Cao must have known it.
If you want to burn the grain cart, you must rush through the guard of 3,000 cavalry, first divide some people, lead away most of the cavalry, and then move the rest.
This is very much in line with Cao Cao's strategy.
Zhao Yun was worried that there would be a surprise attack by Cao's soldiers, so he only brought five hundred cavalry.
Behind the grain truck, Song Xian also gathered a thousand soldiers and blocked in front of the grain truck.
When Zhao Yun rushed over, Cao Cao's cavalry was already less than five miles away from the grain wagon.
"There are no five hundred."
Zhao Yun rushed to the front and saw it at a glance.
Although Cao Bing was fast and dusty, his formation was scattered.
"Kill!"
Zhao Yun, who was dressed in silver armor and white robes, directly killed the cavalry of the Cao army.
The cavalry of the Cao army is also rapidly approaching.
"Rush!"
"Rush over."
Cao Cao was also in the army, he rode a war horse and personally charged into battle.
Cao Xiu followed by his side.
All Cao Bing's war horses were hung with oil cans on both sides, and as long as they got close to the grain cart, those oil cans would be thrown on the grain cart immediately, and then as long as they carried the fire fold of Mars, they could quickly turn this place into a sea of fire.
Zhao Yun did not directly break through the cavalry of the Cao army all the way.
His aim was to prevent Cao's cavalry from approaching the grain carts.
Penetrate directly, it is inevitable that Cao Bing will miss and rush over.
Even if there were a thousand soldiers of Song Xian behind him, Zhao Yun did not trust them.
Along the way, what the three thousand soldiers in Song Xian's hands looked like, Zhao Yun had already seen it clearly.
Compared with the powerful Zhao army, the three thousand soldiers in Song Xian's hands are a rabble.
Even Pei Yuanshao can lead a thousand people to defeat these three thousand.
Although Cao Cao only has a few hundred horsemen now, all of them are strong.
Any person, as long as he is not facing Song Xian, can almost break through the formation of a thousand people and throw the fire fold onto the grain cart.
Burst!
The spear in Zhao Yun's hand pierced into the body of a Cao soldier.
He held on to his horse and did not advance.
Although he lost the strength to rush forward, he was one person and one horse, facing the Cao cavalry that came over, like Mount Tai standing still.
Cao Bing, who approached one by one, was stabbed off his horse by Zhao Yun.
But unfortunately, this is not a dangerous place where a husband and wife cannot open it.
It's a flat place.
Zhao Yun was alone, so he could only stop Cao Bing who rushed past him.
In addition, there were some cavalry like Zhao Yun, blocking the road, and some rushed in.
There were not 500 Cao soldiers here, but there were 300 men.
"Cao Cao!"
Zhao Yun stabbed a Cao soldier to death, and suddenly shouted in shock.
He saw Cao Cao rushing over.
Although it was known for a long time that there were five hundred cavalry of the Cao army coming.
But in the news, it has not been said that it was Cao Cao who led the troops.
"Rush over and burn the grain and grass."
Cao Cao was also in command, he was riding the Peerless Shadow, and he had already seen Zhao Yun.
However, Cao Cao did not retreat.
His war horse was rapidly approaching Zhao Yun.
