Chapter 695
Cao Hong led his troops, fighting and leaving in the midst of difficulties, and he couldn't remember how many subordinates fell around him. At first, he was still silently counting in his heart. By the time he arrived, he was numb. I just want to escape from this ghost place as soon as possible, and then find an opportunity to make a comeback and settle accounts with Cheng Lao Pifu.
Cheng Pu led his subordinates behind, flickering far and near, flickering and slow, like a cat playing with a mouse, slowly consuming Cao Jun's physical strength and patience, and then at the most appropriate time, he struck a fatal blow.
It's just that although this Cao army was pressed and beaten from the beginning, its willpower was unexpectedly tenacious. When he was about to retreat to the official road, Cheng Pu immediately decided: "All attack!" "I can't wait, if I drag it out any longer, Cao Jun got on the official road, turned over on his horse, and immediately escaped. How can two legs catch up with four legs?
Cao Hong and Cao Jun have persevered until now, but they are actually almost to the limit. The Yangzhou army suddenly squeezed over and launched a fierce attack, and the Cao army couldn't stop it without blocking it a few times.
Cao Hong was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and while waving his blade and fighting with the surging enemy army, he shouted loudly: "Hold on, you can't mess up, you can't disperse, you will be on the official road soon!" ”
When the pressure is stronger than the willpower, no matter how tenacious the warrior is, he can only watch the enemy's sword mercilessly stab into his chest and neck. The mental power is strong, but the body no longer listens to the call.
In an instant, pieces of Cao Jun were harvested by Cheng Pu and others. Cao Hong, under the escort of some of the most elite soldiers, finally fought his way out, broke out of the encirclement, and then turned on his horse and left in the wilderness.
At this time, Cheng Pu was also so tired that he couldn't breathe. He looked at Cao Hong's figure in the distance unwillingly, and could only sigh: "It's a pity!" "No way, Cao Jun is not a pig without resistance, but thousands of elites. Even if it is a pig that has no resistance, if it is killed in one breath, people will be tired.
Ambushed Cao Hong, Cheng Pu disregarded his image, sat on top of a horse corpse, and then let his subordinates be busy, and after a while, a planner sent a battle report. Cao's army had 5,000 elite cavalry, beheaded more than 3,000, captured hundreds of lightly and seriously wounded, and the Cao Hong's troops who escaped were only 1,000 at most.
After Cheng Pu finished reading it, he was overjoyed. You know, cavalry is no better than footmen. The time and materials required to train a qualified cavalryman are several times that of a foot soldier. How many cavalry could Cao Cao have? Coupled with the elite of the tiger and leopard riders guarding Cao Cao, the full count will not exceed 30,000. Such an elite is lost here, and it should make Cao Cao's flesh hurt for a long time, right?
It's more than just a pain in the flesh.
Cao Hong was defeated and returned to Jiangling, and Cao Ren learned that such an elite cavalry was ambushed by Cheng Pu, and the entire army was almost wiped out. Anxious and angry, under the urgency of the heart, he couldn't help but feel agitated, and spit out a mouthful of blood with a wow.
Cao Ren, whose face was like gold paper, sat on the chair, pointed at Cao Hong, was speechless for a long time, his breath was slightly flattened, and then said to the left and right: "People come, tie up this guy with me, drag it out and cut it!" ”
The left and right pro-schools flashed out and held Cao Hong down. Cao Hong lay on the ground and said nothing. Guo Jia next to him saw it, hurriedly stopped, and persuaded: "Zixiao, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, this time Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu will join forces to attack me and save me." Zilian was eager to rescue, and accidentally fell into Cheng Pu's ambush. Although the military law is ruthless, it is the opportunity to use people at this time, how can you behead a general. If you commit it again, you will be punished for both crimes, and you can be beheaded. ”
Cao Ren's heart was constantly churning, and after a long time, he sighed, waved his hand, and said, "I'll spare your life today." Step aside. ”
Cao Hong was so bad and ashamed in his heart that he looked at Cao Ren and Guo Jia, wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't say anything, just gave his hand, and then withdrew from the big tent.
After losing so many cavalry at once, Cao Ren's heart was completely chaotic. Cavalry, as a force of mobility, can do so much. Its importance is far from being comparable to that of a pawn. Now that Cao Hong has been defeated, many of the plans in Cao Ren's heart have to be adjusted together with Guo Jia.
Moreover, Cao Hong's defeat also means that it is no longer realistic to rescue Huarong. Why did Cao Ren send cavalry before, mainly thinking about rescuing Huarong. Now send troops out, where is it too late. Huarong is afraid that he will have changed his flag long ago.
Cao Ren sighed: "Zilian has no plan, mistook me for a big deal!" ”
After Cheng Pu finished cleaning up the battlefield, he took the first step and led the elite to Huarong. met Zhou Yu and told him about it. When Zhou Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Cheng Gong's majesty has not diminished back then, and Cheng Gong should be the first contributor in this battle!" ”
So he joined hands with Cheng Pu to watch the battle. At this time, Huarong City relied on the city wall and was fighting with Yangzhou soldiers. Cheng Pu saw that the head of Huarong City and Cao's army were fierce and incomparable, so he remembered the battle between himself and Cao Hong. sighed: "Cao Jun is mostly from the north, he is fierce, good at fighting, and has been honed under Cao Mengde for many years. It can be described as the victorious soldier in the world! ”
Zhou Yu did not deny this, the north is a vast land, and there are naturally many good soldiers. The southerners are a little weaker, but it doesn't mean that there are no good soldiers. Danyang soldiers and Huaisi soldiers are all elites who are famous all over the world. It's just that these elites, Yangzhou is still too few.
After watching it for a while, Zhou Yu asked Cheng Pudao: "Since Cheng Gong defeated Cao Hong, I don't know if he has a banner?" ”
Cheng Pu reacted immediately and said with a smile: "Yes, I will send it here." So Cheng Pu turned his head and said a few words to the people around him, and after a while, several tattered military flags and golden drum books were all sent over.
Zhou Yu saw it and said with a smile: "With this thing, Huarong City is broken." ”
So he ordered men to take these things and rush to the city, shouting with great might: "Listen to the people of the city! Your reinforcements have been ambushed and the whole army has been wiped out! Why not rappel? Otherwise, on the day the city is broken, you will all be powder! ”
Countless strong men with loud voices shouted towards Huarong City together, shouting over and over again, and then after shouting, they changed the city wall and continued to shout. Make sure that the enemy troops in the four cities of east, west, north and south can be heard.
The people in Huarong City naturally heard it. Many people were in turmoil, and they looked at their own captains. The captain is naturally not a fool, and after a little analysis in his heart, he knows that this thing is only true. Reinforcements should have arrived, according to reason. But there was no movement for a long time, and another enemy army had just arrived under the city. I'm afraid that the reinforcements will be more auspicious than lucky.
When a heart kept sinking, he still shouted with a hard mouth: "Hugh has to listen to the enemy's nonsense!" This is a move by the enemy to disturb the hearts of our army! ”
Under the pressure of the captains' bullets, Cao Jun was silent, and still threw himself into the fight with the enemy. The day's fighting was finally over, and in the evening, many of Cao's troops were extremely tired, but still had trouble sleeping. Silently thinking about his thoughts.
