Chapter 694: Cao Hong is in ambush

Zhou Yu is not moving, and moving is like lightning and thunder. Since the tomb and surrounded Huarong, he has been planning for a long time. Even many of his own lieutenants had been deceived and did not know where to attack. How can Zhou Yu make Cao Ren react?

After the scouts figured out the rules of activity of the Huarong defenders, Zhou Yu personally led his elite to lie in the barren grassland outside Huarong City, enduring mosquito bites, until waiting for the opportunity for the city guards to go out of the city to patrol the camp, then suddenly burst out and launched a precise blow, in the case that the defenders did not react at all, right under their noses, killed dozens of officers below the guards. Then, taking advantage of the chaos of the situation, the army poured out of the nest and broke through the camp west of the city in one fell swoop. Then surrounded Huarong.

Zhou Yu held the bloodstained sword, pointed at Huarong City and said, "Siege!" The city fell, and the treasury soldiers took it for themselves! In order to quickly dial the city, Zhou Yu had to draw a big pie.

Thousands of miles of being an official in order to make a fortune, this will not have a sense of national consciousness or anything. When the big soldiers below heard what the main general said, they were all overjoyed, and they all shouted and rushed to the city wall with their troops.

Because the city was broken by Yangzhou soldiers, the camp in the west of the city was broken by each other's horns, and the defenders were lost. Under the low morale, he was pressed and beaten by the Yangzhou soldiers.

Fortunately, there was a surviving lieutenant by the side to suppress it, otherwise I was afraid that Huarong City would not be able to defend it. The captain carried a sword, put out fires everywhere, and shouted as he ran: "Second and third sons, hold on!" Gangneung is not far from here, I have sent people to ask for help, as long as two days, reinforcements will arrive! Defending Huarong City is a great achievement! Then everyone will have a reward! ”

On the one hand, he was killed and captured after the city was broken, and on the other hand, he defended the city in a bloody battle, and was promoted and made a fortune afterwards. How to choose, as long as you are not a fool, you should know how to do it.

So Cao Jun cheered up, waved the blade in his hand, and fought with the Yangzhou soldiers who killed the city. Cao Hong heard that Huarong was in trouble, and he didn't dare to slack off, so after receiving Cao Ren's order, he led 5,000 horsemen to rush Huarong.

Halfway through, he suddenly saw that the road was dug up, Cao Hong was shocked, so he sent scouts to explore, and before long, a scout came to report, saying that there was no enemy within a radius of fifty miles. Cao Hong wanted to stop and repair the road again, but he was afraid that Huarong would not be able to hold it. So he summoned the army to engage in it and asked, "Do you know that he has traveled to Huarong?" ”

Engaged in the opposite road: "General Hui, I know that there is a small road leading to Huarong, but this road is extremely narrow and muddy, and the cavalry may be difficult to walk." ”

Cao Hong thought to himself, as long as there is a way to go. It's not a way to build roads here. So he said, "Do it!" ”

So I found a few local guides to lead the way. Sure enough, along the way, it was muddy all over. Cao Hong had no choice but to order all the sergeants to dismount and walk. Then he saw that there was grass all around, so he said, "You can make the sergeant cut the grass and pave the way." ”

At the sound of the order, some soldiers went to cut the grass and threw the bales of grass on the dirt floor, which was much easier. Cao Hong thought to himself, isn't this enough?

After a while, both men and animals were exhausted. Cao Hong was about to order a rest, suddenly the drum sounded, Cao Hong was shocked, looked around, only to see an army from the wilderness to show the figure, headed by the general, iron helmet and iron armor, under the chin of the beard gray, it is the Yangzhou general Cheng Pu.

Cheng Pu saw Cao Hong, sighed in his heart, and said loudly: "Cao Zilian, why didn't Brother Ru come?" ”

Cao Hong was in a hurry, he was ambushed, he was already angry in his heart, and when he heard Cheng Pu say this, the meaning of the words seemed to look down on him? was furious at the moment, pointed at Cheng Pu and scolded: "Old horseman, do you only dare to trick and harm people, dare to fight with me?" ”

Zhou Yu raised troops to surround Huarong, and naturally considered the arrival of reinforcements from Jiangling. So he instructed Cheng Pu to raise troops to defend him. Originally, Cheng Pu was not asked to set up an ambush, but only let Cheng Pu honestly defend for a while, and when Huarong was broken, the Jiangling soldiers would naturally retreat without a fight.

As a result, Cheng Pu thought, how can he make Gongjin concentrate on beauty in everything if he fights all his life. When he arrived here, he saw that the terrain was dangerous, and after several calculations, he had a plan, first causing people to destroy the road, and then setting up an ambush on the path here, waiting for Cao's army to come.

He originally thought that if Cao Ren came, he would capture Cao Ren, and when Cao Ren was in hand, Cao Jun would still be afraid to retreat? Who would have thought that Cao Ren didn't wait to come, but waited for Cao Hong. Although Cao Hong is also a general under Cao Cao, he is much lighter than Cao Renye.

In fact, if it is really Cao Renlai, I am afraid that he may not necessarily fall for Cheng Pu's plan. Cao Ren has a calm personality and is not surprised when encountering problems. If you see the road destroyed, you will inevitably think that someone is playing a ghost. When the time comes, I will think about it more, instead of sending a scout to explore, like Cao Hong, there is no one to ambush on the left and right, and I will walk down the trail with confidence.

Therefore, everything is a mistake, and it is already very good to be able to wait for Cao Hong.

Cheng Pu saw that Cao Hong was angry, but he didn't care. The more angry Cao Hong became, the happier he became, which proved that Cao Hong would lose the sanity of a general. What will be the consequences if a general leads troops out and loses his mind when he is in battle?

So Cheng Pu looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "Cao Hong, you have fallen into my plan today and fell into death." Not downhill yet? Otherwise, you will surely die! ”

Cao Hong was furious when he heard this, and said: "Old thief, see what you are capable of, take my head!" So he ordered his sergeants to form a formation.

Where will Cheng Pu be polite, with a wave of his hand, the arrow is like rain. Poor Cao Hong's subordinates are all cavalry, and half of their skills are on horseback. At this time, he turned his horse into a step, and fell into a Jedi, and in a hurry, where could he be stopped.

The road was narrow and difficult to navigate, and the ground was muddy. I want to make a big move, and I can't stand steadily. The arrows rained down like a rain, piercing fiercely, and in an instant, even the people and horses shot over.

Cao Hong also knew that fighting in such a place would lead to no death. So he said in a loud voice: "Formation, retreat!" ”

Needless to say, the battle array was also slowly retreating at this time. With such a terrain, Cheng Pu naturally would not fight close to Cao Jun, and if he fought in close combat, it would be equivalent to canceling out all his advantages. So he just stayed away from Cao's army and kept letting his archers shoot arrows.

What war is easier than long-range strikes against an enemy who is powerless to fight back?

Fortunately, Cao Hong's department is the elite of Cao Jun, and it is not chaotic at all under the rain of arrows in the sky. Deadly arrows whistling overhead, muddy ground beneath his feet, and falling robes beside him. If it had been replaced by another army, it would have collapsed a long time ago. And this army, under the command of Cao Hong, did not change its complexion, calmly holding a shield and a gun, while resisting the rain of arrows, while slowly retreating.

Just get to a dry, open place. They have a chance. When the time comes, turn over and get on the horse, fight or walk, it's all in their thoughts.

Cheng Pu naturally would not give them such an opportunity, and he also led the army and slowly pressed forward.
