Chapter 675: I, Zhang Liao, will never surrender
The grease is ready, originally this kind of strategic material, Xia Picheng has some reserves, but it's really not much, this thing will also deteriorate, and it will be useless after it deteriorates, so it can only be used before that.
Ordinary fish oil and peanut oil can only be stored on a small scale without preservatives. The previous battle of the sneak attack on the Yangzhou Legion had consumed thirty percent of the oil. The result was okay, let the Yangzhou Corps retreat obediently. It's a pity that there is no time to pursue further, otherwise Cao Ren can be beaten to doubt his life.
"Come on! Cao Cao, let me see how much baggage you have left to waste! Zhang Liao was not holding a standard riding gun in his hand at the moment, but his big knife. In the face of repulsors and fences, this thing is more useful than a lance.
He usually rushes over, clears all the obstacles, and then rushes into the enemy camp with the help of the follow-up soldiers. At least, he used this trick several times before when he attacked the camp, and almost all of them succeeded!
“…………???!!!!” Zhang Liao, who was charging with all his might, suddenly felt that the war horse suddenly felt like it was in the air, and then the whole person was thrown out of the horse. Fortunately, he is not an ordinary person, a roll, but there is no dog to chew, otherwise it will be too ugly.
Soon, he found that he was not the only one, many knights had this situation, it seemed that the front foot guessed something, either the left foot, or the right foot, anyway, it was in the air, and then the horse's body fell violently, and inertia threw the knight on horseback out.
What's worse is that the horse's leg is probably broken, and the horse with the broken leg will affect the speed even if it is cured, and it will either pull the cart or can only be killed to eat meat.
One after another, the cavalry stumbled, starting from three hundred meters, and there were problems everywhere along the way, and a large number of soldiers fell to the ground. If you're lucky, you may still be alive, but the moment when you fall off is gone.
"It's weird!" At this time, even a fool can realize that the situation is wrong, Zhang Liao hurriedly rummaged on the ground, and then quickly found a deep pit on the ground, the key is that although the pit is deep, it just doesn't have to be much bigger than a fist, but it can make the horse's legs sink in.
The key is that the pit is so small, dense, and then relying on the cover of the surrounding grass, it is really impossible to prevent.
"Damn, who came up with something so lacking in virtue?" Zhang Liao scolded his mother directly, this kind of pit is not only difficult to prevent, but the key is that the damage to the war horse is great, unless the other party does not want to capture the war horse at all, otherwise he will not use this trick at all.
But the problem is that war horses, especially excellent war horses, are not easy to obtain, and they are originally important strategic materials. When fighting, they would even avoid the horses to deal with the cavalry on horseback, and the two of them would fight, and they did not say that they would attack the mounts.
"Not good, retreat, retreat!" Zhang Liao, who realized something, hurriedly ordered a retreat, even if he had no horse to ride at the moment.
As expected, Cao Ying's side had gathered a large number of crossbowmen, and the opponent had completely entered the firing range, and the arrows suddenly poured out, and the cavalry troops, because the people in front of them fell, the speed of the follow-up cavalry was affected.
To make matters worse, the other side used rockets! Damn, they used rockets! Don't forget, Zhang Liao and his subordinates all carry oil cans on their bodies, this thing is a double-sided blade, and if you use it, it will be an enemy's nightmare, and if you are not careful, it will become your own nightmare!
Most of the oil pots, as the soldiers fell to the ground, fell to the ground, the grease leaked out, and as the rockets fell on it, they immediately burst into flames, and this burning frightened the war horses, and even one accidentally ignited the oil cans of other knights, and the three thousand light cavalry troops were soon caught in the fire.
"No!" At the same time as Zhang Liao exclaimed, an army had already come to him, led by the Tiger Guards led by Xu Chu. Ordinary soldiers were afraid that they would not be able to catch him at all, so Cao Cao directly sent a tiger guard to sweep the tail.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Liao was tied up by Wuhua and sent to Cao Cao. After the rescue of the soldiers under his command, the surviving 500 people were captured, 300 horses were captured, and the rest have either fallen or have fled back, and the number of people who fled back is less than 200 people, and this light cavalry unit can be said to be useless.
"General Zhang Liao......" Cao Cao looked at the other party with interest, "I didn't expect us to meet under such circumstances." ”
"Humph!" Zhang Liao directly twisted his head to the side, the three thousand people had already fallen before they even launched an effective attack, and he could not escape the blame, even if he died because of this, he had no complaints.
"This failure has nothing to do with your own ability, you can only blame someone for their crooked tricks...... You may not know that with these potholes, our soldiers have to be extra careful when patrolling outside, so as not to fall into them. In the case of walking, it will not cause any trouble, at most it will break the foot. Cao Cao looked at Zhang Liao with a look of pity.
It was at the beginning of the encampment, and the suggestion of someone to dig a large number of these small pits around the camp was carried out at night. At that time, it was still a little unclear, but in the end, Guo Jia discovered the mystery and told her.
She had heard of the tripping horse rope, but it was the first time she had heard of the tripping horse pit, and the key was that the pit was so small, and she had doubts about whether it was effective. Not now, the power has been proven, but the destructive power is a bit great, and many of the captured war horses are lame, and it is estimated that they will be able to eat a horse meat feast tomorrow......
"Wang Yong again?" Zhang Liao was stunned, the appearance rate of this name seems to be a bit too much recently, anyway, he is really a cook?!
"General Zhang Liao!" Cao Cao didn't seem to intend to continue the topic, "I respect you as a talent, as long as you are willing to surrender to me, then I promise not to treat you badly, and even I will value you more than Lu Bu!" ”
Zhang Liao is not only a cavalry general, the key is that he has this ability to be alone, and such a talent can be cultivated as a legion leader. What is rare is his loyalty, it can be said that under Lu Bu, outside Chen Gong, who is loyal for personal reasons, only Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are her real loyalists.
"I, Zhang Liao, even if I am slashed by a knife and an axe, I will never surrender, and I will never betray the lord!" Zhang Liao roared angrily, his attitude was firm, and he could even feel it from his momentum.
The originally solemn and serious occasion of "Puff ......" was suddenly broken by a laugh, and everyone looked at the place where the laughter came from, only to find that Wang Yong didn't know when he appeared here.
"Why did you get here?" Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong suspiciously, normally he would not attend such a formal occasion, and in fact he was not qualified to attend.
"I'm just here to let you know, dinner is ready, because of the surprise attack, it's delayed, but it's finally ready...... General Zhang Liao, do you want to prepare one for you too? We still treat the captives preferentially! Wang Yong notified, and then looked at Zhang Liao with a smile.
"Do you have any dissatisfaction with what I just said?" Zhang Liao looked at the cook very unhappily.
"It's nothing, I just thought of something very interesting...... Wang Yong replied casually, "So I'm going to prepare you a dinner, right?" You know, you don't have the strength to run away without eating......"
"............" Zhang Liao was silent, Cao Cao and the surrounding civil and military officials were silent, and the atmosphere became strange for a while.
