Chapter 506: The Battle of Nanyang (2)
Cao Hong entered the city, saw Huo Jun leading the army to retreat from a distance, laughed loudly, and said, "I want to escape!" Then he led his troops to chase after him. Fang Xing, suddenly there was a bang in the city, and when he looked up, he saw the smoke billowing out of the four cities, and the flames were soaring into the sky. In the midst of the fireworks, there was a crackling sound. But when Huo Jun evacuated, he set fire to the city.
When Cao Hong saw the sky-high fire, he couldn't help but be furious and scolded: "Xiao'er dares to set fire!" "If it is not captured, it will be burned if it is burned, Cao Hong doesn't care. But his army has already entered the city, and this Bowang City is clearly his own. How can you tolerate Huo Jun's arson?
Cao Hong said to the ban: "Wen Ze, you put out the fire first, and I will chase that child." ”
Yu Ban persuaded: "Zilian, the city has fallen, and some remnants of the army have been defeated, so let him go." ”
Where is Cao Hong willing to listen, the fire in the city ignites the fire in his heart. I subconsciously felt that since the Jingzhou army had abandoned the city and burned the city, it must have fled in a hurry. When will you not chase after this time?
Cao Hong insisted on going, but Yu Ban wanted to command the firefighting and pacify the people, but he couldn't get out, so he said to Cao Hong: "Since this is the case, Zilian must be careful." ”
Cao Hong hurriedly responded, and then led his troops to chase Huo Jun.
After Cao Hong left, Yu Ban in the city commanded the troops to put out the fire, and half of them were saved, but he felt that it was wrong, what about the people in the city? How can there be none? Yu Ban felt strange in his heart, so he ordered to find a Jingzhou prisoner and interrogate him several times, only then did he realize that Wen Ping and Huo Jun acted together in the previous episode, but they withdrew all the officials and people in the city to Wancheng. At this time, Bowang City was already an empty city. Only then did Yu Ban react, no wonder Huo Jun burned this Bowang City with a fire, and he didn't care or feel heartache.
Yu Banzheng secretly sighed at the means of Jingzhou's guards, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he slapped his thigh, and his voice was not good, so he left his subordinates to command the firefighting, but he hurriedly led the army to find Cao Hong.
Yu Ban suddenly reacted just now. Since the Jingzhou army had already planned to evacuate the officials and people in the city, he must have had a plan when he retreated, so he was calm. In that case, how can it not be counted that there will be pursuers? Since it can be counted that there are pursuers, how can there be no countermeasures?
If General Cao is defenseless, he is afraid that he will be tricked. That's why he hurriedly led troops to pick up Cao Hong.
But it was said that Cao Hong led his troops to chase Huo Jun, chased him for more than ten miles, and looked close. Cao Hong was overjoyed, and was about to order his subordinates to drive forward, when suddenly the captain next to him said: "General, please be careful, in case there is fraud!" ”
Cao Hongxin said that I didn't believe it, and the previous ambush was just enough, this time the enemy general burned the city to stop our army, and then led his troops to flee in a hurry, and dared to ambush me? Then he waved his horsewhip and said, "Where did you come from so much deception, the city has been burned, the soldiers have retreated, where does the deception come from?" But he did not listen, and insisted on going forward. The lieutenant had no choice but to order the scouts to disperse and capture the battlefield movements.
After a while, the scout came to report, saying that there was nothing ahead. Cao Hong said with a smile: "The enemy has already lost his heart, so you can take advantage of the situation to attack him." ”
chased for several miles, bypassing a hill, but saw that Huo Jun had turned his head and was waiting for him in formation. Cao Hong stepped forward and laughed: "Xiao'er, why didn't you run away? ”
Huo Jun smiled slightly and said, "Cao thief, here and now, this is where you are buried!" ”
Cao Hong was about to laugh, suddenly his face changed, only to see behind the hill, another army turned out, the first general, yellow face and slight beard, across the good horse, the name of the knife, behind a big flag flying in the wind, embroidered with a big text. Isn't it the Jingzhou general, who is Wenpin?
Cao Hong said in his heart, since he has been ambushed, it is better to break Huo Jun first, and then turn his head to meet Wenpin. The plan was decided, so he shouted, picked up his knife and slapped the horse, and rushed towards Huo Jun.
Cao Hong's choice was such a surprise to Huo Jun and Wen Ping. According to their thinking, if ordinary people encounter the enemy from the beginning to the end, they will definitely form a formation to defend themselves and wait for reinforcements, and there is no reason to attack first. Cao Hong didn't think so. Since he started his army with Cao Cao, he has fought in all directions. Although he is impatient, he has his own strategy in his heart. Cao Hong's idea is that Yu Ban doesn't know the situation here, that is, he is afraid that it will be difficult for Yu Ban to survive to protect himself, since the left and right are about to be defeated, he simply takes advantage of Huo Jun's lack of troops and attacks Huo Jun with indomitable progress, maybe there will be a way to survive.
Wen Ping saw Cao Hong attacking Huo Jun, and was afraid that Huo Jun would not be able to resist it, so he drank together, got up his department, and went to attack Cao Hong's rear army. The other general who got Cao Hong's order stepped forward, shouted, and formed a formation to meet Wen Ping. and struggled to entangle with it.
The rear army also knew that if they didn't do their best to hold off Wen Ping, they were afraid that the generals and other brothers in front of them would all be buried here today. If Wen Ping can be dragged down, when the general defeats Huo Jun, he and the others will still have a way to live. is killed in battle, as long as the general escapes, his family is not safe and no one takes care of him. It's about everyone fighting for their lives. Wen Ping was unexpectedly slowed down by Cao Jun's tragic style of play for a while.
Huo Jun formed a formation to defeat Cao Hong, but the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou soldiers was not as good as Cao's army. And Huo Jun, the main general, is also a little worse than Cao Hong. Cao Jun Zhongfu wanted to fight his way out of the bloody road again. Under this evaporation, after blocking for a while, the formation could no longer hold on, but it was broken by Cao Hong.
The formation was broken, Huo Jun led the army to fight the horse and left, and Cao Hong led the troops to drive it away. Seeing that he was far away, he turned his head to save the rear army. Fang Xing, suddenly saw Huo Jun leading troops from a distance. Cao Hong looked back and shouted, ready to chase after him. Huo Jun drove the horse away again. Cao Man was so angry that he jumped like thunder, he didn't know that this Huo Xiao'er was staring at him and wanted to stop him from saving the rear army. But you really can't let him go. If you go to save the rear army by yourself, it will come to attack, and then it will be surrounded by the front and rear. If you don't save it, you can get out, but if you want to watch the rear army buried here like this, how can you be willing in your heart.
The lieutenant next to him saw that Cao Hong was entangled, and couldn't help but hurriedly say: "The general can retreat quickly." If you stay any longer, if the rear army can't stop the civil appointment, everything will be suspended. ”
Cao Hong sighed and said, "I will take revenge!" Then he led his troops away.
Huo Jun was overjoyed when he saw Cao Hong leaving, so he collected his department and came back to help Wenpin. When Cao Hong's army saw Cao Hong escape, he had no intention of fighting, so he abandoned his weapons and asked for surrender. Except for some stubborn people who were beheaded by the Jingzhou army, the rest surrendered.
Along the way, the Jingzhou army was beaming. The sluggish atmosphere when he abandoned Bowang City and left was swept away. Looking at the dejected strings of surrendered soldiers, the courage in my heart seemed to be much more sufficient. Cao Jun is nothing more than that. How powerful is it, haven't you been beaten by us and others and surrendered on the ground?
Yu Ban traveled halfway to the road, and saw Cao Hong coming dejectedly, the golden drum behind him was not shaking, the flag was lower, and half of the men and horses led by him were missing, he couldn't help but be shocked, and grabbed Cao Hong and said: "Zilian, why is this so?" ”
Cao Hong's face faded, and he said: "I regret not listening to the words of the text, and the fruit is subdued." ”
