Chapter 230: The Gateway to Xudu

Cao Ren, who landed on the ground, was already covered in blood, blood spurted wildly from his mouth, his eyes were staring at Dou Da, and his face was hideous and terrifying. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"Pottery thief...... Pottery thief ......"

Cao Ren stared at the potter, and could not say a second word except through gritted teeth, and the whole person was completely in anger and pain.

"Tie him up and deal with him later." The pottery merchant pointed at the knife and shouted with a sneer.

With the strength of the potter, no one can stop Cao Ren from killing Cao Ren with one knife now.

But Cao Ren is different from ordinary Cao generals such as Cao Hong and Cao Chun, this person is the first general of the Cao family, in Cao Cao's eyes, in Cao Cao's group, they all have an extraordinary status, it is a pity to kill him, leaving him alive, maybe it will be useful in the future.

The order was passed down, and a group of personal soldiers who followed rushed up and tied up Cao Ren.

Cao Ren, the first general of the Cao family, was captured by the pottery merchant and his wife.

The potter was not enough, and the husband and wife continued to kill all the way.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu, the two generals, originally wanted to work together to kill the potter, but who wanted to be intercepted by Yingbu and Lian Po halfway and couldn't fight.

When the two of them saw Cao Ren killed, they thought that with Cao Ren's force, they could easily kill the potter, but they never thought that Cao Ren would be shot down by the potter and his wife, and he would be captured alive.

Cao Ren was arrested, Dian Wei and Xu Chu were shocked, their fighting spirit was frustrated, their hearts were shocked, and they became more and more lacking in courage.

At the critical moment, suddenly, the dust in the north direction rushed to the sky, and with the roar of the sky and the earth cracking, it came over.

Cao's army shook the sky and fled one after another.

A big banner with the word "Huo", flying like the wind, led an army of iron cavalry, all the way south to kill.

It's Huo Qu's disease!

The young general, Pegasus, rushed wildly, with a big gun in his hand, destroying countless enemy pawns into pulp.

Huo Qubing opened the trick bag, which ordered him not to go to Puyang after defeating Cao's cavalry, and directly went south to copy the trail back to Fengqiu to participate in this decisive battle with Cao Cao.

According to Chen Ping's calculations, the potters had expected that Cao Cao would think that his cavalry was not there, and seize this last opportunity to engage in a decisive battle with him.

Huo Quai's cavalry was the strange soldier laid by the pottery merchants, and when the two armies were entangled, they gave Cao Cao the most fatal blow.

Two thousand iron cavalry soldiers, like a torrent, followed Huo Quai, from north to south, all the way to kill.

In an instant, Cao's three soldiers and horses were stopped and cut in two.

Cao Ren, the main general of the middle road, was captured, and the morale of the Cao army was already hit hard, but now the potter's iron cavalry suddenly appeared, cutting off their formation, and tens of thousands of Cao troops finally collapsed, and it was difficult to fight again, and they were defeated and scattered.

"Huo Quai, come just in time, kill me fiercely, let everyone in the world know your prestige!"

The potter was overjoyed and his fighting spirit was even stronger.

Huo Qu was angry and powerful, with a force value of 97 points, he was the best on the entire battlefield, who could stop him.

The fighting spirit of Dian Wei and Xu Chu collapsed.

Where did the second general dare to hesitate any longer, he hurriedly turned his horse and jumped out of the battle group and fled westward in embarrassment.

The rest of the soldiers and horses, such as Lejin and Li Dian, also collapsed.

"Kill me, kill all the enemies-" The potter shook his spirit, and with the momentum of a great victory, he waved his army to cover the kill.

The three-way Cao army completely collapsed, and the Cao army, which had lost its fighting spirit, could only be slaughtered by the Tao army.

A few hundred steps away, Cao Cao's face was already pale, gloomy as iron, and his eyes were astonished as he looked at the defeated army.

"Am I no match for that kid with all my might......

When Cao Cao was still surprised, a defeated general galloped over, and shouted in a panic: "Lord, General Cao Zixiao has been captured by Tao Shangsheng, General Dian and General Xu have also been defeated, and our army has completely collapsed. ”

Boom, a thunderbolt from a sunny day, when his head fell, Cao Cao was dizzy, almost fainted, and almost couldn't sit down on the horse, a scorched yellow face was already distorted and deformed in an instant.

"Zixiao, was captured alive by the pottery thief?" Cao Cao gritted his teeth, almost unable to believe his ears.

Cao Chun was killed first, then Cao Hong was killed, and now, it is Cao Ren, his most trusted brother, the first general of the Cao family, who was captured alive by the pottery merchants.

Potter, what is he capable of to do this?

Could it be that the potter was born to be the nemesis of the Cao family?

"Potter~~" Cao Cao was extremely sad and angry, his face was about to explode, and his teeth were almost crushed.

At this time, in the direction of the north, the dust rushed into the sky, and the soldiers and horses killed all the way, and the army that killed him collapsed.

A big banner with the word "Huo" is flying like the wind, and the iron horse is rolling, and no one can stop it.

The potter's cavalry has also been killed!

Cao Cao was hit hard again, and his frightened eyes were hurriedly shot at Guo Jia beside him, and in his eyes, he was unable to restrain his resentment.

According to his judgment Guo Jia, after defeating Zhang Xiu, the pottery merchant's cavalry should go to Puyang, and it was based on this judgment that he persuaded Cao Cao to take the opportunity to fight the pottery merchant in a decisive battle.

Who would have thought that the potter's cavalry, as if they had calculated the right time, would kill him at a critical moment and deal him a fatal blow.

"How can this be, how can this be ......"

Guo Jia's face was as pale as paper, and he muttered to himself, as if he had lost his soul.

Suddenly, he screamed "ah" in pain, opened his mouth and spurted a mouthful of blood, and fainted.

"Bonghyo!" Cao Cao was taken aback.

Guo Jia's fainting death made Cao Cao sober up a little, he knew that today's defeat was decided, and if he stayed any longer, he would be in danger of annihilation.

In desperation, Cao Cao had to swallow his anger with hatred and retreat in a hurry.

"Tick...... The host wins the decisive battle of the sealed hill and gains 4 charisma, and the host's existing charisma is 4. ”

4 charm points, it's not easy to get 4 points in this battle.

The potter's appetite was more than that, and he immediately ordered the whole army not to stop for a moment and continue to chase Cao Cao.

Cao Cao, who was defeated, lost half of his troops and defended half of his troops, and he didn't even dare to enter Fengqiu, so he fled straight to the direction of Xudu in the south.

The potters pursued all the way, and Qiu took the seal without blood, completely cutting Yanzhou into two sections, and then the army continued to pursue south.

After three rear, the potter led a victorious army and pursued to Chen Liucheng.

Chen Liucheng is the seat of Chen Liujun, and it is also the last important town of Gongwei Xudu, after withdrawing to this city, Cao Cao did not dare to retreat.

After cleaning up the defeated army, Cao Cao gathered nearly 15,000 soldiers and horses, he was afraid of being surrounded by pottery merchants, and did not dare to stick to Chenliu, only Zhang Xiu and Yuan Congzhi were banned, and led 5,000 soldiers and horses to stick to Chenliu.

Cao Cao himself led 10,000 soldiers and horses to the southwest of Chenliu, forming a horn trend.

As soon as Cao Cao's front foot arrived, the potter's back foot had already been killed, and with the advantage of troops, he quickly formed an encirclement of Chen Liucheng.

In order to defend against Cao Cao, in addition to besieging the city, he transferred more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and set up another battalion after the siege camp in the southwest of the city to block Cao Cao and protect the flanks and rear of the siege.

Although Cao Cao's soldiers were few, the main force of the pottery merchants was pinned down by Chen's remaining army, and they could not draw more soldiers and horses to defeat Cao Cao.

As a result, the two armies formed a confrontation on the Chenliu line.

……

Today, the pottery camp, the big tent of the Chinese army.

The generals gathered in the big tent, enjoyed the sweet wine rewarded by the potters, and conducted military discussions in the form of a small banquet.

"The day before yesterday, there was news that Puyang had been breached, and the counties of Northern Yanzhou had surrendered without a fight, and we were overwhelmed by Cao Cao in terms of strength, but Chen Liujiu could not attack it, if Yuan Shao unified Hebei, the situation would be very unfavorable to us, and Cao Cao should be destroyed as soon as possible." During the banquet, Chen Dengjin said.

Chen Ping smiled and said disapprehantly: "This is not simple, Cao Cao's cavalry has been wiped out, and we have the advantage in terms of cavalry, we only need to restart the grain robbery tactics, copy Cao Cao's side, cut off his grain route, why not destroy him." ”

"The drunkard is right, cavalry is our biggest advantage now, how can we not make good use of it."

The pottery merchant issued an order, ordering Huo Qubing and Gao Shun to lead the iron cavalry soldiers out in all directions, and went deep behind the enemy to cut off Cao Cao's grain route.

After the implementation of the tactics, within half a month, it had an effect.

Within half a month, the army of light cavalry on all roads intercepted Cao Cao's grain transportation team more than ten times in Yingchuan, Runan, and Liangguo. Nearly 300,000 pieces of grain and grass were burned.

On Cao Cao's side, the cavalry was lost, and only the pure infantry army remained, and then it was impossible to use the cavalry to counter the grain robbery with the potters as in the previous confrontation with Fengqiu.

Within twenty days, Cao Cao's military food supply on the front line soon fell into a shortage, and the morale of the army began to waver.

The deadlock began to break.

……

Cao Jun camp.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao sat there silently, looking at the wine and meat full of meat, but he didn't know the taste.

"Newspaper—"

The scout rushed in, "Yu Sikong, the fifty carts of grain and grass that I sent from Xu Du were destroyed by the pottery thief cavalry, and more than 30,000 pieces of grain and grass were lost. ”

Cao Cao's body was shocked, and the wine glass that Fang Zi brought to his mouth froze in mid-air, and his burnt face instantly appeared with anger.

The little appetite that had just gotten better was lost in an instant.

Cao Cao threw the wine glass in his hand on the desk, and said hatefully: "Damn, the pottery thief bullied the orphan without cavalry, and he repeatedly used such despicable means, hateful-"

All the civil and military forces on the left and right have all sighed gloomily, and they are helpless.

This is the third time in ten days that the grain route has been cut off, and if this news spreads, the morale of the army will not know how much it will fall.

It's a pity that in the face of the Tao cavalry coming and going, they were helpless, and could only watch as the precious grain and grass were easily destroyed by the other party.

Who let their cavalry be destroyed in one fell swoop by the guy named Huo Quai.

"Lord, the previous defeat, our army's morale is low, and now the grain road has been cut off, and the army's heart is even more unstable, according to Yu's opinion, this Chen Liucheng is afraid that he can't hold it, so it's better to retreat to Xudu, eat food nearby, stabilize the army's heart first, and then make another plan."

All the generals looked at Cao Cao, although no one spoke, but with that kind of eye expression, they all seemed to be attached to Cheng Yu and approved of the withdrawal of troops.

Cao Cao's face was gloomy, and he pondered for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly, but said: "It's not that Lone doesn't want to retreat, but if he retreats like this, Zhang Xiu and Yu Ban's two generals, aren't they abandoned and trapped in a lonely city, how can Lone bear it." ”

The crowd was silent.

"Sikong, I have a plan, if I can succeed, maybe I can not only rescue Zhang Xiu and the others, but also have a chance to defeat the pottery thief and boost the morale of our army."
