Chapter 522: Shrinking Defenses

If you want to say that the relationship between Liu Zheng and Cai Mao, although they know each other, if there is really a war, Liu Zheng will not show mercy to his subordinates, friendship is friendship, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's friendship is also deep, but they will not be merciful when they change their killing.

Besides, Cai Mao does not have such a deep friendship with Cao Liu in Liu Zheng's heart, and if he really wants to fight, Liu Zheng will definitely go all out.

But now the situation is different, Liu Zheng knows about Cai Yao's existence, and knows that Cai Yao has his child, then Liu Zheng will definitely be responsible, at least when he returns to his own place, he will definitely hold another big wedding and marry Cai Yao again, so that he and Cai Mao will become in-laws.

In this way, if you want to kill Cai Mao, you will be a little embarrassed.

Besides, Cai Yao definitely didn't want to see such a situation happen.

Therefore, when Liu Zheng faced Cai Mao, he still needed to think about it.

However, this kind of thing doesn't need to be thought about too much, and when Liu Zheng captures Cai Mao alive, after some sensationalism, Cai Mao will definitely take refuge in him for the sake of Cai Yao and others.

Just when Liu Zheng, Gan Ning, and Wen Ping were discussing how to deal with Cai Mao's men, a clarion call to gather troops to charge came from the enemy's position.

As soon as Liu Zheng heard it, he knew that this was Cai Mao and the others who couldn't bear the loneliness, and once again charged at the defensive position arranged by Wenpin, intending to break through Wenpin's obstruction and rush out of the valley of Tengshan Mountain.

"Wen Ping, you go to deal with those enemy troops first, try to contain Cai Mao and others, they shouldn't know that I came here with my soldiers and horses, I will wait for you to kill fiercely, surround from the rear, annihilate these enemy troops in one sentence, and capture those generals alive when the time comes."

Liu Zheng quickly customized the combat strategy in a few words. Wen Ping immediately took the order, led the remaining remnants of his army, and began to fight against the soldiers and horses of Cai Mao and others.

And Liu Zheng's side quickly ordered Gan Ning to do a good job of external encirclement, not to let Cai Mao and these people go, Gan Ning's soldiers and horses were surrounded outside, and when Cai Mao's army was defeated, they would break those deserters one by one.

And Liu Zheng's headquarters army is to enter the battlefield at a critical time and deal a heavy blow to Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's men.

"Everyone, let's go."

Liu Zheng told Tai Shici and Zu Lang about his plan, and then planned to leave.

Tai Shi Ci and Zu Lang immediately took the order and left, and as soon as Liu Zheng was about to leave, he was stopped by Cai Yao.

"What's wrong, Yao'er?"

A look of worry appeared on Cai Yao's face, although she hadn't spoken yet, Liu Zheng had already understood what Cai Yao wanted to say.

"My eldest brother ......"

Cai Yao didn't elaborate, only said a few words, and Liu Zheng already knew what she was going to say.

immediately took Cai Yao's hand, patted the back of Cai Yao's hand, and comforted Cai Yao's worried heart with a gentle touch.

"Don't worry, Yao'er, I know what to do, I won't make it difficult for you, you come with me, when the time comes, with you coming forward, Cai Mao will not resist stubbornly."

With Liu Zheng's words, Cai Yao had a nervous look on her face, which made her look better, and she didn't hesitate, immediately hugged the child, followed Liu Zheng's side, and walked out of the camp together.

When Liu Zheng and the others came out, Wen Ping, Tai Shici and others had already left for a short time, especially Wen Ping, who had already led the army to start a confrontation with Cai Mao's men on the battlefield.

Liu Zheng didn't personally participate in this battle, there were Tai Shici and Zu Lang commanding the soldiers and horses, and it was not his turn to go to the battlefield to fight in person, he only needed to hold his son and watch the play from a high place.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce followed behind him, Sun Ce was not interested in the doll in Liu Zheng's hand, but Zhou Yu liked it very much, and came up from time to time to tease the little doll.

Sun Ce is not interested because he has a younger brother, and there is more than one, Sun Jian's ability is very strong, in addition to Sun Ce, the eldest son, Sun Quan, who is now six-year-old, Sun Yi, who is four-year-old, and Sun Kuang, who was born not long ago.

The little doll looks cute, but it's really annoying when it's annoying, so Sun Ce is not interested in the little doll anymore.

It's Zhou Yu, a kid, because he doesn't have a younger brother, and he usually plays with adults, and rarely sees children, so he is a little more curious, and he has a lot of fun with Liu Zheng's son.

Liu Zheng's youngest son didn't seem to hate Zhou Yu either, and the sound of laughter came from time to time, but Liu Zheng let them play and concentrate on the situation on the battlefield.

In the previous attacks, either Cai Mao led half of the soldiers and horses to rush forward, or Zhang Yun led half of the soldiers and horses to rush forward, and there was always a part of the people left to defend Gan Ning's soldiers and horses.

And this time, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun did not choose to lead people to defend, but blindly attacked, and the remaining part of the soldiers and horses all gathered in the direction where Wenpin was located and began to rush and kill.

After a few days of hard work, more than half of the tens of thousands of soldiers under the command of the Ministry of Culture and Recruitment had been lost at this time, but even if the casualties were very heavy, they were still holding their positions and firmly blocking the attack of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's army.

After Liu Zheng saw that the battle had entered a hot state, he knew that he could not continue to wait, and if he continued to delay, he would increase the casualties of the soldiers under Wen Ping's command.

So he directly ordered that Tai Shi Ci and Zu Lang rush over to support Wen Ping, and at the same time wipe out Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's two troops.

With Liu Zheng's order, Tai Shi Ci and Zu Lang on the left and right wings did not dare to hesitate at all, they had already observed the situation on the battlefield and knew that they had to make a move at this time.

So he immediately led his subordinates and began to assemble in the past and raid the battlefield.

Tai Shi Ci and Zu Lang led 16,000 soldiers and horses.

Suddenly rushed out from the valleys on both sides, and the shouting of killing was enough to surprise Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's soldiers and horses who were fighting on the battlefield.

The appearance of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the momentum and movement should not be underestimated, even if it is deaf, it can be observed through the eyes.

At this time, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, who were commanding the battle in the core of the battlefield, immediately changed their expressions as soon as they saw that the enemy army had an additional force of soldiers and horses from all sides.

"What's going on, why does the enemy have reinforcements?"

"Impossible, how is it possible, Gan Ning's people and horses, it is clear that we are behind us, how can there be people in front, where is this person from!"

"Shrink the defense, quick, quickly withdraw the troops!"

Cai Mao was nervous, and did not forget to let his men shrink, only in this way would he not be scattered by the new force of soldiers and horses.
