Chapter 472: The Situation Reversed
However, after Cao Xiong deceived Cao Bin with a method that he had spent a lot of effort to think of, he immediately changed his face, and directly ordered the soldiers and horses to go out of the customs to fight Cao Hong. And after listening to Cao Xiong's order, several lieutenants who had the same opinion as Cao Bin immediately began to stand up and dissuade him. It's a pity that these captains are not children of the Cao family, Cao Xiong didn't have any worries at all, and directly asked people to tie up these captains, and after a period of wild convincing, he took the nine thousand soldiers and horses who were ready to go, opened the gate of the checkpoint and killed them.
"Child, don't hurry up!"
Cao Xiong had nine thousand soldiers and horses behind him at the moment, twice as many as Cao Hong, and he was already ambitious in his heart, holding a big knife and shouting loudly.
The corner of Cao Hong's mouth flashed with a sneer that the conspiracy had succeeded, but it was fleeting, and his mouth was not weaker than Cao Xiong's: "Coward, you dare to come out and die, this general will definitely behead you today." ”
Cao Hong swung the Pu knife and slapped the horse to meet him, but in Cao Xiong's eyes, he looked like he was dying.
"If you have the guts, let your teeth be sharp, and you will die here today!"
Cao Xiong was full of confidence at the moment, and when he saw that Cao Hong dared to be so rampant, he suddenly became angry and killed Cao Hong with a big knife. In his heart, Cao Hong was not his opponent, and he had more soldiers and horses than Cao Hong, and it was only a matter of time before he took Cao Hong.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Cao Hong and Cao Xiong shouted angrily at the same time, rushed towards each other with full of fighting spirit, and fought together in a blink of an eye. Knives come and go, white light flickers, and the two are inseparable.
"Sonorous!"
Dozens of rounds later. In Cao Xiong's "expected", Cao Hong's Pu knife in his hand struggled to block Cao Xiong's big knife. Pat the horse and turn around and leave. Seeing Cao Hong's panting appearance, he was obviously a little exhausted. Again, the idea of doing the same thing as in the morning.
"Coward, this general is a little tired, and he has the courage to fight again tomorrow!"
Cao Hongze stood opposite Cao Xiong, and shouted loudly. It seems that there is nothing to justify his shameless actions at all, and Cao Xiong is naturally angry about this. He had already escaped in the morning, and now that he had more soldiers and horses than Cao Hong, how could he still let Cao Hong escape?
"Haha, child. Today is your death date, why don't you sacrifice your head quickly!" Cao Xiong laughed loudly when he heard this, and he was riding on the horse in high spirits, waved his big hand, and ordered loudly: "Kill this general, don't escape a thief!"
"Kill!"
Driven by Cao Xiong's "strong" strength, the 9,000 soldiers behind Cao Xiong were also full of fighting spirit, drew their weapons, and slaughtered Cao Hong's army with fierce battles.
In Cao Xiong's gaze. I saw that Cao Hong's face changed suddenly, and he shouted "retreat" in his mouth, and he didn't care about the soldiers under his command, but he ran away first.
"Haha. A gutless thief, he is still trying to escape in front of this general and seek death!"
Cao Xiong slapped the war horse under his crotch hard. Holding a big knife and screaming, he rushed to the front, but there were Cao Hong soldiers blocking in front of him. They were all slashed by him, and they saw Cao Hong and the soldiers escaping in embarrassment. Cao Xiong's heart was happy, and the anger and depression that Cao Hong had abused before also dissipated a lot. In the blink of an eye, Cao Xiong led the soldiers and horses to pursue a distance of more than ten miles, and the gate of the Ershi Mountain checkpoint was no longer visible. Cao Xiong didn't have the slightest doubt about this, speaking of which, he was really a reckless man with developed limbs and a simple mind.
Seeing that he was about to catch up with Cao Hong's army, Cao Xiong suddenly found that Cao Hong stopped running away, holding a Pu knife in one hand, and looked at Cao Xiong who was chasing after him with a sneer. Seeing Cao Hong's expression, Cao Xiong's heart flashed with a burst of surprise, and he faintly felt a bad feeling. However, before Cao Xiong could continue to think, a fierce and rapid drum sounded.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
The sound of drums shook the sky and soared into the sky. There are two inevitable herald voices in the army, beating the drum to march and Mingjin to withdraw the troops. No matter how stupid Cao Xiong is, he knows what this drum sound means. Even if Cao Xiong's IQ is less than twenty-five, he knows that he has been tricked at this moment.
"It's not good, I've been tricked, quickly withdraw to the gate!"
Cao Xiong's pupils suddenly constricted, and he shouted loudly, and he didn't care about the soldiers and horses under his command, so he turned around and fled. In the blink of an eye, the chasing and fleeing duo switch roles with each other, and people are amazed at the vagaries of the world.
"Haha, no coward, don't give your head quickly!"
Looking at Cao Xiong, who fled in panic, Cao Hong suddenly swept away the evil anger in his heart. He was originally a person with a hot personality, and he pretended to be a grandson for a day today, and at this moment, the situation is reversed, where will he let Cao Xiong escape easily, shouting "kill" in his mouth, dancing with a simple knife, and chased after him first.
"Kill!"
"Don't go away with the enemy general!"
Nine times out of ten, the soldiers under Cao Cao's command are veterans of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, even the Qingzhou soldiers who surrendered are also trained for a long time, and their combat power is naturally not the same as the Xuzhou soldiers who have been comfortable for a long time. At this moment, they tore off their disguises, and they were all like tigers in the mountains, and fiercely entered the formation of Cao Xiong's army. Even if there was no ambush, it was only a matter of time before Cao Hong's nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses would solve Cao Xiong's 9,000 soldiers and horses. And the reason why the ambush was set up was not to take the Ershi Mountain level, so as to achieve Cao Cao's strategy. Now that he can finally let go of his hands and feet to fight, naturally no soldier will keep his hands.
"Ahh
"General, help me!"
"Don't kill me, I surrender!"
Cao Hong's soldiers and horses entered Cao Xiong's soldiers and horses, but in the blink of an eye, many Xuzhou soldiers had already died. Xuzhou is rich in land, the people are mostly comfortable, and the impact of the Yellow Turban Uprising on Xuzhou was not great, and the soldiers in Xuzhou have long forgotten the ferocity and bloodshed on the battlefield. At this moment, the crying father who was killed by Cao Hong's soldiers and horses, coupled with the fact that there was no command from the generals, did not have the slightest defense. There were also timid soldiers who were afraid of death, and when they saw such a situation, they immediately threw down their weapons, squatted down, held their heads in their hands, and shouted surrender. And for these soldiers, Cao Hong's soldiers and horses were not wiped out, so that those Xuzhou soldiers who saw that they had nothing to do with surrender followed suit, and the nine thousand soldiers, in addition to nearly one thousand who were killed. More than 3,000 soldiers surrendered.
Cao Xiong rode his horse and ran at the front, and this time he brought out 9,000 soldiers and horses. There were only three or four thousand soldiers and horses closely following behind, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were not killed. It is surrender. Of course, Cao Xiong didn't care about these at the moment, he only thought about running back to the checkpoint, then he would be safe.
Looking at the gate of the checkpoint that gradually came into view, Cao Xiong's heart suddenly became excited.
When this battle happened, Cao Xiong suddenly found that he was still the coward, greedy for life and afraid of death. In the past, he was in the army, because he was a general. is still a child of the Cao family, and those soldiers naturally did not dare to resist in the slightest in the face of his oppression, making Cao Xiong think that he had gotten rid of his cowardice in the past and was a powerful person. However, when faced with a stronger enemy, Cao Xiong's false appearance was suddenly torn apart, revealing the real him.
If he learned that he had been ambushed by the enemy, he would have the heart to fight. Command well, and 9,000 soldiers and horses will not end up in such a field. It's a pity that Cao Xiong is still a cowardly character in his heart, and he has no intention of fighting at all. There is only one thought in my mind, and that is to run, and the faster you run, the better. As long as you can get back inside the level. As for after this battle, his reputation plummeted. became the object of ridicule from others, Cao Xiong would not care at all. As long as you save your life, what else is there to be reluctant to.
"Kill! Hold the enemy general, and take the first credit!"
"Kill!"
"The credit is mine!"
Just as Cao Xiong saw that the gate of the checkpoint was in front of him, and the distance was not more than a kilometer, a surging shout of killing sounded. Cao Xiong looked intently, and saw a general in front of him who was majestic, and the spear in his hand danced "whirring", and rushed towards him with a hideous and fierce face. And a soldier next to him held a big flag with the word "Xiahou" written on it, and the general was naturally Xiahoudun. You don't have to think about it to know that this is the soldiers and horses ambushed by the enemy, and Cao Xiong is even more frightened. However, the gate of the level was in front of him, how could he give up the only hope of escape, and slapped the war horse under his crotch fiercely at the moment, speeding up the speed of progress.
On top of the checkpoint, Cao Bin had already arrived, and naturally saw the danger Cao Xiong was facing at the moment, and hesitated for a while.
At this moment, the gate of the checkpoint is closed, if you open the gate of the checkpoint and let Cao Xiong in, you will inevitably be rushed in by the Cao army soldiers and horses chasing behind, and then the checkpoint will inevitably be lost, and the consequences of the loss of the checkpoint, Cao Bin thinks about it and feels a chill in his heart; Besides, Cao Xiong took away 9,000 soldiers and horses in the checkpoint this time, and there are only 1,000 soldiers and horses in the checkpoint, can he still hold it?
Cao Hong and Xiahoudun had a total of 10,000 soldiers and horses, and there were 1,000 soldiers in the checkpoint. According to the degree to which the checkpoint is easy to defend and difficult to attack, a thousand soldiers and horses can't stop the attack of Cao Hong and Xiahoudun's 10,000 soldiers and horses?
Of course, in fact it cannot be calculated in this way.
The Ershi Mountain checkpoint is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and sending 10,000 soldiers and horses is enough to block the attack of 100,000 troops. Even if it is a deadly attack, 100,000 soldiers and horses are dead, and they may not be able to win the level. The Ershi Mountain checkpoint is built on a mountain, with peaks on both sides, and it is naturally impossible for an army of 100,000 to have too many soldiers and horses to attack, and only less than 10,000 soldiers and horses can attack each time. In addition, the level is condescending, and the damage of smashing boulders or shooting arrows will be increased, as long as the opponent dares to attack, the archers can take turns to shoot arrows to make the enemy return in vain. However, this can only be achieved when the number of people is sufficient, and this is the reason why quantitative changes cause qualitative changes. Obviously, it is impossible for the enemy to be able to hold the checkpoint if there are only 1,000 people at the checkpoint and 100 people in the enemy army; naturally, if there are 1,000 people at the checkpoint, the enemy army still cannot hold it if there are 10,000 people; if there are 5,000 soldiers guarding the pass, they should be able to hold it, but if there are 10,000 soldiers guarding the pass, it is the best state of qualitative change. Just imagine, there are only 1,000 soldiers on the level, and how many rounds can they shoot with bows and arrows to defend? An elite soldier can shoot arrows up to ten times, not to mention the soldiers of Xuzhou who have been at ease for a long time, and being able to shoot arrows five times is already looking down on them. After five archery shoots, without the guards who attack from a distance, what can they do to fend off the enemy?
Therefore, if you want to defend the Ershi Mountain level, 10,000 soldiers are the most suitable. Only about 1,000 soldiers of the enemy army can attack each round, and the remaining soldiers can only wave their flags and shout in the rear, while the number of soldiers guarding the pass is enough to alternate, shoot arrows and smash stones, and steadily hold off the enemy's attack. However, now this thousand soldiers, as long as the enemy army suppresses the rear with a thousand archers, the rest can be forcibly attacked, and whether it is necessary to divide the thousand soldiers again, it is tantamount to looking for death.
Therefore, if Cao Xiong is not allowed to enter, Cao Bin will not be able to stop the attack of Cao Hong and Xiahoudun by relying on these 1,000 soldiers and horses; The result doesn't seem to make much difference to Cao Bin.
Cao Bin's heart was in the battle between heaven and man, his face changed for a while, and he saw that Cao Xiong was getting closer and closer to the gate of the checkpoint, from the original one thousand meters, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters, three hundred meters, and now it is only a hundred meters away. With the speed of the war horse under the crotch, it only takes a few breaths to reach the level.
After hesitating for a moment, Cao Bin gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice: "Open the door and let the generals in." ”
In the end, Cao Bin still chose to let Cao Xiong in. Otherwise, relying on his 1,000 soldiers and horses will definitely not be able to hold the checkpoint, unless Tao Qian in Xiapi City foresees the situation here and sends troops to reinforce it, this possibility is not very likely, and Cao Bin will not pin his hopes on this; if Cao Xiong is allowed to come in, plus Cao Xiong's remaining soldiers and horses, there are almost 5,000, which is enough to resist Cao Hong and Xiahoudun's attack for a few days, and then there will be enough time to ask for help in Xia Pi City. Of course, this premise is naturally that when Cao Xiong was let in, Xiahoudun failed to grab the gate of the checkpoint, otherwise everything would be empty words.
"The soldiers obeyed the order, and followed the general to guard the gate, and when our army entered, they found that the enemy was immediately killed. Now that we have reached a critical juncture, you should fight bravely to kill the enemy, and there must be no mistake!"
After speaking, Cao Bin pulled out his weapon and took the lead to go down behind the gate. Now I can't help Cao Bin not to work hard, it is not only his life that is lost in the level, but his relatives are still in danger, as for complaining about Cao Xiong, Cao Bin has no leisure at the moment.
"Squeak!"
The gate of the checkpoint opened, Cao Bin looked at Cao Xiong who was approaching behind the door, and his heart was nervous, victory or defeat was in sight, as long as he put his own soldiers and horses in and closed the door in time, everything was still possible to recover.
"Kill!"
"Don't run without guts, don't get off the horse and surrender!"
Xiahoudun and Cao Hong had already joined forces, only chasing Cao Xiong, with the leadership of their own two generals, and the soldiers under their command were also fighting bravely to kill the enemy, biting Cao Xiong's soldiers and horses tightly. (To be continued.) )
