Everyone was shocked. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

A pair of eyes instantly shot to the map, widening their eyes in an attempt to reflect Chen Ping's judgment.

The potter's eyebrows were condensed, and his eyes were also on the map, sweeping between the rivers of Xiao County.

After a moment of shock, the potter sighed lightly, and a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, "Cao Cao, you are worthy of being a god with soldiers, you almost deceived me, amazing, amazing......"

The potter finally saw Cao Cao's true purpose.

He judged that Cao Cao was attacking Yuan Shu in the open, but secretly he wanted to attack himself, and this judgment was not wrong.

The mistake was that he didn't judge which way Cao Cao attacked Pengcheng.

He and Chen Ping agreed that Cao Cao would go south from Xiaopei, capture Liuxian along the Surabaya Avenue, and take Pengcheng.

Because of this, the terrain is relatively flat, which is more conducive to giving full play to Cao Cao's advantage of having more soldiers.

Moreover, Cao Cao entered Xuzhou the previous time and also took this route, so once they judged that Cao Cao would attack Pengcheng, they preconceived that Cao Cao would still choose to take this route.

He didn't expect that Cao Cao was so deceitful, and he would rather give up his advantages, but take the Bianshui path and attack Pengcheng from the east, just to achieve a surprise effect.

At this time, the army of pottery merchants gathered in the north of Pengcheng, staying in the county for a generation, the real defenders of Pengcheng were only more than 1,000, if Cao Cao's army was suddenly killed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At that time, not only was Pengcheng very likely to be lost, but the potter and his main army would also be cut off north of Pengcheng, and between Xiaopei, the whole army would be annihilated.

And Cao Cao will finish his work in one battle, almost effortlessly, he will destroy his pottery merchants in one battle and take Xuzhou.

"Cao Cao, you are really ruthless enough, and you have taken the word 'strange' to the extreme, but unfortunately you didn't expect it, I have long regarded you as a great enemy, and the fine work has long been densely spread in Peiguo, and your every move will not escape my eyes......"

With a wave of his hand, the potter suddenly shouted, "Where is Fan Xu?" ”

"Lao Fan is here." Fan Hao replied.

The potter pointed to the map, "I order you to lead three thousand infantry mixed elite soldiers, immediately set off and turn south, and you must give me a preemptive rush to capture Xiao County before the Cao army, and block the road of the Cao army's eastward march into Pengcheng." ”

"Lao Fan has an order, the lord will look at it." Fan Hao patted his chest and took the military order, and left with a pig-killing knife.

On the same day, Fan Xu led 3,000 cavalry to leave the camp, first along Surabaya south to Pengcheng, and then along the west of Bishui, through the valley road, straight to Xiao County.

As long as Fan Xu can take Xiao County first, with his ability, he is enough to hold the city and defend until the potter leads an army to help.

The next day, before dawn, the potter led 7,000 main forces to return south, and at the same time ordered the Lian Po Department to stay in the county, and immediately went south to rendezvous, and turned to the front line of Xiao County to deploy defense.

……

A day later, the potters followed Fan Xujun and returned to Pengcheng.

The potter planned to stay in the city for the time being, wait for Lian Po's troops to arrive, and then join the two armies and go to Xiao County to reinforce Fan Xu.

After all, Cao Cao had 40,000 cavalry, and with the existing forces at hand, if Cao Cao wanted to win, he had little chance of winning, and he had to gather all the forces that could be used to fight Cao Cao.

Before noon, the lobby of the military palace.

Before the potter's ass could sit firmly, Fan Xu sent a messenger to bring the latest information about Cao Jun to the front of the case.

Cao Cao had already arrived in Xiao County first.

"So fast?"

Hearing this news, the pottery merchant's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, he didn't expect Cao Cao to march so quickly, and he was still a step late in his journey day and night.

Slightly surprised, he immediately calmed down again, and asked, "Where are the soldiers and horses now?" ”

"My lord, our army found out that Cao General Cao Ren led an army of 2,000 and lined up to the east of Xiao County, intending to block our army's westward advance.

This news shocked the potter's heart again.

Xiao County has been heavily garrisoned by the Cao army, he originally wanted Fan Xu to retreat first, and after the army is gathered, he will occupy various valleys and stop Cao Cao's eastward advance, but he didn't expect Fan Xu to decide to forcibly break Cao's army and seize Xiao County.

Fan Xu took the initiative to attack according to his orders, which was not considered disobeying military orders, but the opponent was the famous Cao Ren, and he should not be underestimated.

What is suspicious is that Fan Xu led 3,000 cavalry and had nearly 500 cavalry, while Cao Ren led no more than 2,000 infantry troops, and he actually wanted to take the initiative to attack and block Fan Xu.

This doesn't look like Cao Cao's style......

The potter became more and more suspicious in his heart, his eyes returned to the map, looking at the location of Xiao County on the map, and he felt more and more uneasy.

He was worried about Fan Xu.

If the opponent is Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, or even Liu Bei and others, the potter has absolute confidence in Fan Xu, but now Fan Xu has to face the famous Cao Ren.

Who is that, that is the first general of the Cao family, the battle of Fancheng in history, with only a few thousand soldiers and horses, is that the forbidden seven armies were lost, the city was flooded, and Guan Yu was powerful in China, and he was still a strong man who could stand.

And behind this strong man, there is still a Cao Mengde who is difficult to distinguish between reality and fiction.

He always felt that something was not right, so he examined all the information again, trying to find any flaws in it.

In the end, the potter's eyes fell on the sentence "Cao Ren led two thousand infantry troops to block".

Cao's army went out of the city to line up, apparently having detected the arrival of our army and planning to engage in a field engagement, that is, Cao Cao knew that he was going to send cavalry to seize Xiao County.

It is not impossible for Cao Ren to rely on his own courage and dare to fight two thousand against three thousand, but the key is that his two thousand soldiers and horses are all infantry troops.

The infantry army has a very low chance of winning against the cavalry, and Cao Ren is well versed in the art of war, so how can he not know this fatality.

I know it, why do I have to force it to fight?

A huge question mark rose in the potter's mind, and the suspicion on the young face became more and more intense.

After pacing for a long time, suddenly, a trace of surprise flashed in the potter's eyes.

The potter, who suddenly woke up, immediately shouted: "Pass the order, the whole army will assemble, and after half an hour, send troops and go straight to Xiao County." ”

At this moment, there are no strategists like Chen Deng and Chen Ping accompanying the pottery merchant, only his wife Hua Mulan, and the second general Yingbu, they obviously don't understand the pottery merchant's intentions, why the front foot has just arrived in Pengcheng, and he hasn't even eaten a bite of hot rice, so he is about to rush to Xiao County.

"Husband, why rush ......"

Before Mulan could ask questions, the potter had already shouted: "It's too late, I'll explain to you on the way, let's go and act, it's too late for Fan Xu's life to be guaranteed." ”

Hua Mulan and Yingbu were both shocked, and they didn't dare to ask any more, so they hurried away.

The potter took a deep breath, held his long sword, and strode out of the hall.

……

Twenty miles east of Xiao County.

The cold wind was blowing, but Fan Xu was still bare-chested, without a trace of cold, carrying a pig-killing knife in one hand and a big leg of lamb in the other, chewing wildly.

Fan Xu is like a greedy wolf, the prey is right in front of his eyes, and there is only crazy killing intent in his heart.

On the north bank of the river, the rolling flags are rolling, and the three thousand cavalry soldiers, led by Fan Xu, are slowly walking along the avenue, and after a short time, the figure of the enemy army comes into view.

An infantry army of 2,000 men lined up in the middle of the avenue, blocking his way.

In the sky above the enemy formation, a big banner with the word "Cao" flew like the wind.

"Cao Ren, the number one general of the Cao family, cutting off his head is enough to make up for the defeat last time, and let my old fan earn back some face in front of the lord......"

Fan Hao pondered in his heart, grinning with a big mouth, grinning a hideous greedy grin.

In the previous battle of Pengcheng, he was requited by Zhang Fei with a move, although the master potter did not blame him, but in private he became the laughing stock of the big guys, which made Fan Hao very embarrassed.

In this battle, the potter ordered Fan Hao to attack Xiao County, and he also wanted to give him a chance to make meritorious contributions and save face, of course Fan Xu knew.

Now, the opportunity is in front of him, how can Fan Xu not be excited.

"Cao Ren, just take your blood to wash away the shame on my old Fan's head." Fan Xu's expression became more and more hideous, and the hunting and murderous aura rising around his body made the soldiers on the left and right terrified.

Finally, he took a bite hard, Fan Xu threw half of the leg of mutton, raised the pig-killing knife, and shouted: "Spare the cubs, the opportunity for meritorious service has come again, follow Lao Fan to kill all the pigs on the opposite side, kill me -"

In the angry shouts, Fan Hao danced his knife on his horse, shooting out like lightning.

The three thousand meritorious soldiers of the Tao Army were in a roar, carrying the crazy killing fire, surging out.

Since following the potters, they have won many battles, and they will be rewarded in every battle, and they have long been full of confidence, thinking that this battle will be a good opportunity for them to reap the credit.

Without any doubt, the 500 cavalry opened the way first, and the more than 2,000 infantry followed, splashing dust in the sky, like a huge giant spear, swept towards the Cao army's infantry array.

The sky is cracking, and the wind and clouds are changing color.

The surging momentum only made those elite Cao soldiers change color.

Cao Ren, who was standing in front of the formation, was as heavy as water, and there was no trace of waves on his face.

The corners of his mouth instead swept up a sneer.

"Ah Pu is right, the pottery merchant really sent a mixed army of infantry and cavalry to fight for Xiao County, it seems that the general of this army is the Fan Xu who pretended to be the order of the ancients, if it weren't for Apu's strategy, I Cao Ren would like to learn and lead, do you have the courage of Fan Xu......"

At the moment of sneering, Fan Xu's army of iron cavalry had rushed to one hundred and fifty steps.

Cao Ren put away his sneer, took a deep breath, and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order and retreats to Xiao County." ”

gave the order, and Cao Ren turned his horse to go first.

As soon as the banner of the Chinese army moved, the Cao army, which was waiting in formation, scattered with 2,000 people and fled in embarrassment in the direction of Xiao County.

Seeing that the enemy army was defeated and retreated, Fan Xu's face couldn't help but become more hideous, and he laughed wildly: "This Cao Ren probably didn't expect that there are cavalry in our army, and they will retreat without a fight, I think you, the first general of the Cao family, are nothing more than that, haha——"

Fan Xu's fighting spirit intensified, and he waved the soldiers behind him and chased after the retreating Cao army.

The iron cavalry rolled, like the wind, and when Fang chased out of Lixu, Fan Xu's vanguard cavalry had already chased to the tail of the rout.

The blade slashed, the tip of the spear pierced out, mercilessly slashing the enemies who fled slowly, and in the blink of an eye, more than a hundred people were killed.

Like hungry beasts, the Iron Riders frantically chased their fleeing prey.

After chasing for miles, the flat terrain on the left and right became narrower and narrower, and wooded terrain began to appear around it.

Cao Ren, who had been running away, suddenly reined in his war horse at this time, stopped running, and with a horizontal sword in his hand, he sneered and proudly faced the pursuing soldiers.
