Chapter 259: Cold Arrow

Shoujang is a small village, but today the village is in ruins. Maybe the people in the village have joined the gang as thieves, or maybe they have all died in the war, as for what the reason. No one knows, and no one wants to know. At least, the current Bao Xin and Yu Ban don't want to know.

"Wen Ze, for some reason, I always have a feeling of uneasiness in my heart. ”

Bao Xin frowned and said in a heavy tone.

Yu Ban is Bao Xin's confidant and general, and he is also Bao Xin's most trusted general. In the face of the ban, Bao Xin will not hide his thoughts. Subsequently, Bao Xin naturally told him about his arrangement.

"My lord, in that case, why don't we retreat for the time being?"

Yu Ban is one of Cao Wei's five good generals in history, and in terms of the ability to command troops, it can be said to be the first. In fact, yesterday Cao Cao's expression, Yu Ban had doubts in his heart. However, because of the relationship between Bao Xin and Cao Cao, Yu Ban suppressed the doubts in his heart, otherwise it would inevitably be thought that he was sowing discord.

However, now that Bao Xin has said so, Yu Ban, as Bao Xin's general, is naturally thinking about Bao Xin.

When Bao Xin heard this, he immediately retorted: "No, Cao Cao has already said yesterday that if anyone makes a mistake, he will be dealt with by military law." Therefore, now we can only meet the enemy, and there is no way back. ”

In the original history, Bao Xin and Cao Cao were close friends. And after Bao Xin's death, Yu Ban and Bao Xin's soldiers and horses also became Cao Cao's bag. As for whether it was designed by Cao Cao or not, there is no way to know. At least, Cao Cao's design in the original history was not noticed by Yu Ban, otherwise Yu Ban would not have become a general under Cao Cao.

So, why is there a gap between Bao Xin and Cao Cao now, so that Bao Xin has to send his cronies to spy on Cao Cao and several generals under his command? Judging from the current situation, if Bao Xin has an accident, it is basically impossible for Yu Ban to join Cao Cao.

Speaking of which, the gap between Bao Xin and Cao Cao was caused by Yuan Chang.

When he was in the Tiger Prison Pass, Yuan Chang said a sentence to the effect that Yu Ban was not Cao Cao's general, but Bao Xin's general, otherwise Cao Cao had Yu Ban's troops under his command, and where was he still afraid of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army.

It was because of Yuan Chang's words that there was a crack in the hearts of the two close friends. Then, because Cao Cao's ambition was not realized, the crack became bigger and bigger. In the end, perhaps Cao Cao realized that the relationship between the two was no longer as good as before, so Cao Cao had a killing intent on Bao Xin.

If there was no Yuan Chang's sentence, there would be no gap between Bao Xin and Cao Cao, and Cao Cao would not have done anything to Bao Xin even if his ambition was not displayed. Because Cao Cao knew that Bao Xin would always firmly support him.

One qiē has changed because of Yuan Chang, a traverser. Of course, Yuan Chang, who was far away in Bohai County, didn't know about it.

"Wen Ze, for the sake of today, we should deal with it carefully. When the Yellow Turban Rebellion is put down, we will think about the way forward. ”

Now that he has realized that Cao Cao has killed him, Bao Xin will naturally not follow Cao Cao anymore. Bao Xin's family has a lot of money, enough to recruit nearly 10,000 soldiers, and he has a place to take refuge in any of the princes. Now that Cao Cao has secured the position of Yanzhou Assassin, it is still him who recommended Cao Cao, and this qiē is really lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

"Yes, sir!"

Although they knew that Cao Cao had murderous intent towards Bao Xin, Bao Xin and Yu Ban were not too worried. Now Bao Xin has 10,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry, Cao Cao only has 4,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, and Bao Xin does not have to fear Cao Cao. Moreover, Cao Cao did not dare to kill him openly, otherwise he would definitely put everyone in Yanzhou in danger.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

At this moment, there was an earth-shattering tremor in front of me. Bao Xin and Yu Ban knew that it was the 10,000 cavalry led by Cao Hong who attracted the Yellow Turban thieves.

The Yellow Turban thieves did not have a clever commander, and they were all peasants with sticks and sticks, and apart from the superiority in numbers, there was nothing else that could be compared with regular soldiers. It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao and Bao Xin dared to rely on 20,000 men and horses to ambush the Yellow Turban thieves.

There was already a shout of killing in the distance, and it seemed that the fight was in full swing. However, neither Bao Xin nor Yu Ban moved, because Cao Cao's order had not yet been issued, and it was not yet time for them to dispatch.

"Knock knock!"

After a stick of incense, they finally heard the sound of war drums, and Bao Xin and Yu Ban's eyes lit up. Yu Ban immediately pulled out his spear, waved his big hand, and shouted, "Charge!"

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The five thousand cavalry charged, and the momentum was even more shocking than the previous one thousand cavalry. Bao Xin's 5,000 cavalry was hidden behind the mountains and forests, and at this time, they needed to bypass the mountains and forests to attack, otherwise they would clearly line up in formation, and it was estimated that the Yellow Turban thieves would run away when they saw them turn around.

Although it was a distance of several miles, for the cavalry, in the blink of an eye, they had already arrived on the battlefield.

Cao Cao's 1,000 cavalry had already turned around and killed the Yellow Turban thieves, and on both sides of the mountains and forests, Cao Cao's 4,000 infantry and Bao Xin's 10,000 infantry also rushed out, and the momentum was quite bluffing.

Although there are 300,000 Yellow Turban thieves, most of them are from peasant backgrounds, and when they see such a scene, even if there are more people than the other side, how can they still have the slightest fighting spirit? Moreover, most of the weapons of these Yellow Turban thieves are sticks and sticks, and only a few people use metal weapons. In addition, their confidence was crushed by the ambush, and they wanted to escape.

However, the 300,000 people, except for those who had been in contact with each other, most of them rushed towards the center of the battlefield with a shout, how could those who wanted to escape escape?

Therefore, they could only be mercilessly slaughtered by Cao Cao and Bao Xin's soldiers.

According to this situation, it seems that there is no need to wait for reinforcements from all over Yanzhou, just the 20,000 horses of Cao Cao and Bao Xin are enough to defeat the Yellow Turban thieves. However, in this case, it is estimated that 20,000 horses will kill the enemy until they are weak.

"Kill!"

"Kill the thieves and defend the country!"

"Promotions and fortunes are only in the future!"

The soldiers excitedly rushed into the crowd of Yellow Turban thieves and did not hesitate to wave their troops to kill. Now these 20,000 soldiers are a pack of hungry wolves, and the 300,000 Yellow Turban thieves are sheep, sheep without the slightest resistance.

"Boom!"

When Bao Xin's 5,000 cavalry appeared on the battlefield, those Yellow Turban thieves were even more frightened. When the cavalry fully charged, the lethality of the infantry was self-evident.

Five thousand cavalry rushed into the formation of the Yellow Turban Thieves, but in the blink of an eye, thousands of Yellow Turban Thieves had already been cut down. After a few more charges, it is inevitable that the Yellow Turban Bandit will be defeated.

"My lord, Cao Hong doesn't seem to be in the cavalry formation?"

Yu Ban took the time to observe, but suddenly frowned and whispered in Bao Xin's ear. It stands to reason that the 1,000 cavalry should be commanded by Cao Hong, but Cao Hong is missing.

"Whew!"

"Be careful!"

At this moment, a cold light flashed in Yu Ban's eyes, and Yu Ban hurriedly reminded him. Hearing this, Bao Xin hurriedly turned sideways, however, the speed of the arrow was too fast, and it still passed through Bao Xin's arm. Fortunately, this arrow was originally aimed at Bao Xin's heart, but at this time, it was much off.

"Bastard, you actually put a cold arrow!"

Bao Xin was immediately furious, the Yellow Turban thieves didn't even have basic weapons, where could there be a better bow and arrow? Think about it, you know what is going on, and Bao Xin has also heard that Cao Hong's archery skills are excellent. If he hadn't been reminded before, I'm afraid he would have been killed by an arrow through his heart.

"My lord, what now?"

"Fight off the Yellow Turban thieves first!"

Bao Xin gritted his teeth, and after thinking for a moment, he still gave up the idea of retreating. Now he was only hit by an arrow in the arm, and he didn't have to worry about his life, he could still support it.

After another moment, a cavalry rushed towards Bao Xin at an astonishing speed, but it was Bao Xin's cronies. When the cronies whispered in Bao Xin's ear, Bao Xin's face suddenly darkened.

Before, he only guessed that Cao Hong did it, but now his cronies are suing him, that is, Cao Hong is hiding among the Yellow Turban thieves and casting cold arrows at him, how can he not make Bao Xin angry. However, at this time, Bao Xin was still sensible and did not let his men attack Cao Cao's men, otherwise they would have been in chaos without the Yellow Turban thieves taking action.

"Lord, something is wrong, Cao Cao's infantry seems to be moving closer to us!"

At this moment, Yu Ban, who had been paying attention to the surrounding situation, reminded Bao Xin in his ear.

"Cao Cao is trying to kill me!" Bao Xin roared indignantly.

Now the army is at war with the Yellow Turban thieves, as long as they secretly kill Bao Xin. At that time, it was said that Bao Xin was killed by the Yellow Turban thieves, and no one had any evidence that Cao Cao did it. In that case, Bao Xin's soldiers and horses would not become Cao Cao's bag. Originally, there would be no problem with this qiē, but perhaps because history has changed, Bao Xin has been wary of Cao Cao, which makes the originally inevitable things different from the original history.

"Wen Ze, order the cavalry to retreat!"

Since Cao Cao must kill himself, Bao Xin no longer hesitated and immediately chose to retreat. Where Cao Hong is hiding, he doesn't know, if he comes with another arrow, he may not be able to dodge. Although Yu Ban has a strong ability to command troops, his personal strength is not very strong. Bao Xin was already doubting at this moment whether Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan were also hiding. Once he and Yu Ban were killed, these soldiers and horses would definitely fall into Cao Cao's hands. Today's Bao Xin will definitely not let this kind of thing happen.

It will take some time to gather the infantry and retreat, and something may happen in the meantime. Bao Xin didn't dare to take risks, so he still retreated first, as for these infantry, as long as he Bao Xin was alive, there was nothing to worry about.

As a result, Bao Xin and Yu Ban immediately commanded 5,000 cavalry to withdraw from the battlefield.
