Chapter 67: Cutting the beard and abandoning the robe
late at night
Yecheng, will be in the house.
Late at night, it was cold, Guo Jia was wearing mink fur to deal with government affairs, but at this time he was a little uneasy, and he had a feeling that he couldn't speak.
After a long time, he put down his pen and ink, coughed heavily, and said to the guard at the door of the mansion: "How long has the lord been gone!" ”
"Strategist, you've already asked the fourth time."
The guards were quite helpless, but they still said patiently: "The lord has been gone for two days and two nights, and it will be three days in a few hours." ”
"Two days and two nights!" Guo Jia said in his mouth, "The three armies are galloping day and night, and I am afraid that they will travel more than 80 miles a day, so the lord and they have chased them for nearly 200 miles." ”
"This is only more than two hundred miles away from Bowang, I think the lord will have already started tonight, if there is no accident, Zhang Xiu will collapse the army, but I always have an ominous premonition in my heart."
"Strategist, don't think about it too much, it's cold in the middle of the night, you should rest as soon as possible and wait for the lord to triumph." The guard said helplessly.
Guo Jia couldn't sleep, and his face was full of anxiety.
And at this time,
Cao Hong came quickly, his face solemn.
"Zilian, what's wrong."
"Strategist, what do you think this is?" Cao Hong's face was gloomy, and he took out the sackcloth from his arms, which was full of ashes, occasionally mixed with a few black things.
"...... this?" Guo Jia raised his eyebrows, stepped forward to look at it for a moment, and his eyes suddenly shrank, "This is the burning rice?" ”
Cao Hong nodded heavily and said in a deep voice: "Hong also thinks that this is rice. The military advisor asked the last general to lead the army to conduct a thorough investigation day and night, and found clues behind several inconspicuous houses in the north of the city. ”
Guo Jia stepped forward and pinched the residue, it was still very crispy, with some moisture, thinking that it had just been buried for a few days, and he suddenly said in a panic: "How much is it?" ”
"Whew," Cao Hong exhaled heavily, "a lot, I can't tell from the ashes, but Hong thinks that these grains are probably no less than 50,000 hundred." ”
Utterance,
Guo Jialu took two steps back.
His eyes showed panic, and he immediately said urgently: "It's broken, it's a trick!" ”
"Zilian, quickly go to the army of more than 10,000 people, follow me south, I hope things are not so bad." Guo Jia's eyes sank and said hurriedly.
"When the last general arrived, he had already ordered the guards to organize the army with warrants." Although Cao Hong is not a wise man, he knows what it means that tens of thousands of rice ashes have been buried in the city for no reason.
"Come on, quickly go and inform General Lejin, let him lead the rest of the people to close the four gates, unless I or the lord is here, you must not open the city gates." Guo Jia said in a deep voice.
Hopefully everything will be in time.
Or rather, the Lord saw through the enemy's schemes.
Otherwise, I'm afraid the main guild will be defeated.
You must know that this trip is a pursuit and beheading, Cao Cao only personally led 2,000 iron cavalry, Cao Ren commanded 20,000 foot soldiers, and Cao Cao did not have an advantage in terms of troops.
That night, Guo Jia and Cao Hong led the army to gallop and stay in the city to defend the city.
…………
At the same time,
On the battlefield where the fighting and screaming screams.
At this time, the frontal battlefield had been taken over by Wen Ping and Huang Zhong, even if Cao Ren tried his best, it was difficult to defeat the soldiers, and for a time Cao's army gradually began to rout.
After all, its three armies were tired, and they didn't even have time to eat before they chased into the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness was self-evident. In addition, Zhang Xiuling's iron cavalry is like a fierce tiger, and there is no one to rush left and right.
"General, withdraw, it's too late to withdraw!" On his side, many generals shouted anxiously.
Cao Ren's face was in pain, his steel teeth were clenched, his body was trembling, these soldiers were brought out by him, and he died tragically one after another at this time, his heart ached like a wrench!
At this time, his eyes scanned the battlefield left and right, chaotic, the soldiers did not know the generals, and the generals did not know the soldiers.
With their bravery, Xu Huang and the others led their respective tribes to resist one or two, and the rest were all one-sided, and even some of them began to scatter and flee.
Cao Ren knew that nothing could be done.
"Lord, lord, have you ever seen lordship?" Cao Ren suddenly came back to his senses, and shouted at the general in an anxious voice.
Everyone shook their heads, and one of them said: "General Hui, the last general just saw the lord leading the iron cavalry to kill the enemy's back, but Zhang Xiu led the iron cavalry to rush and kill it." ”
Cao Ren's pupils suddenly widened angrily, and he said urgently: "Then what? ”
"The end ...... The last general saw that the iron cavalry led by the lord was killed by Zhang Xiu, and the life and death of the lord were uncertain, and the remaining iron cavalry seemed to be going northwest. "The ministry is a little hesitant.
"Hmph, life and death are uncertain, that is, you are still alive, if you dare to talk nonsense, you will be cut off your head." Cao Ren's body trembled and shouted.
After speaking, he glanced at it, got off the stage and turned over his horse, and shouted violently: "Order, the three armies will withdraw to the northeast, and if they are scattered, they will all go to Yecheng." ”
"No!" All the people will drink together.
As the retreat order was delivered, the already crumbling defense line collapsed in an instant, and almost all of the Cao army and those who dared to fight lost their armor and fled north in panic.
Time
Under the night, on that wilderness.
Unknowingly, there were countless corpses, and the blood had already stained this wilderness, and the smell of blood in the sky was disgusting. The stumps, broken arms, broken flesh, and livers were scattered everywhere.
With the transfer of the battlefield, it also made the originally noisy and war-torn place fall silent again, and some torches were burning, and many uninvited guests, wolves, were also welcomed!
…………
And at the same time, the winding path.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was noisy and shocking, and the sound of fighting was endless, and I saw hundreds of horsemen galloping away, followed by more than 1,000 iron horsemen led by Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun.
Looking at Cao Cao, who fled in panic, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but have a picture in his mind, and couldn't help but raise his gun and shout: "The person in the red robe is a Cao thief, chase and kill Cao thief!" ”
The words fell, and more than a thousand riders behind him shouted.
In the distance, listening to the earth-shattering shout, Cao Cao looked back, only to see more than a thousand iron horsemen galloping towards him, frightening his heart.
Tear off the iron buckle and throw the red robe out.
Zhang Xiule looked at Cao Cao, who turned back from time to time, and shouted: "The one with the long hair is a Cao thief, chase and kill the Cao thief." ”
When the words fell, the riders were chasing after each other.
Of course, it is difficult to distinguish here, but Cao Cao frightened the bow bird, without hesitation, pulled out the sword leaning on his waist, and cut it off directly with his beard.
"The one with the broken hair is a Cao thief, and the Cao thief is gone." Zhang Xiu found that he was too bad, he locked Cao Cao and hung it all up, as for the beard, the ghost could notice.
Of course, Cao Cao didn't think so, because the more than 1,000 iron horsemen really chased him all the time, all the time, and the hundreds of iron horsemen behind him slipped away a lot.
Listening to the earth-shattering shout, Cao Cao's face darkened, this Nima is endless? Do you want to shave your head and show you?
But he honestly ripped off a rag and wrapped his beard, thinking that you wouldn't be able to find yourself, right?
Zhang Xiu pursed the corners of her mouth, Cao Cao is really still Cao Cao, a ruthless batch, and the true colors of the heroes are undoubtedly revealed.
"The one who chirps the short black is Cao Cao, chasing and killing Cao thief!"
