Chapter 257: Jia Xu set up an ambush for Meng De and the second chasing embroidery

When Cao Cao led the army to chase out of Nieyang County, Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er also hurried up.

After Zhang Xiu led his troops to run for a while, he suddenly found Jia Xu's figure but did not find his sister-in-law.

Zhang Xiu, who was a little worried, immediately rushed to Jia Xu's side and asked, "Wenhe, why are you here?" What about my sister-in-law? ”

"Don't be good! I asked Captain Hou to escort Mrs. Zou to leave first. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately after, Zhang Xiu asked suspiciously: "Wenhe, why are you staying here?" ”

"Lord, Cao Cao will not give up when he breaks the city, he will definitely lead the army to pursue, most of our army has now become foot soldiers, if you escape like this, I am afraid that if you can't escape from Champion County, you will be completely wiped out by Cao's army."

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he immediately said angrily: "It's all because Liu Biao secretly helped Cao, which caused our army to evacuate in a hurry, otherwise the thousands of war horses in Wancheng would not have fallen into Cao Cao's hands." ”

"Lord, it doesn't help to be angry now, the minister found a small forest in front of him for an ambush, if you leave a group of soldiers and horses to set up an ambush, then our army can get rid of Cao Cao's pursuers and successfully enter the champion county, which is why the minister is waiting here."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu immediately agreed.

Immediately after, Zhang Xiu said to Hu Che'er: "Hu Che'er, you lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to set up an ambush here." ”

Hu Che'er immediately agreed after receiving the order.

After quickly distributing 5,000 soldiers and horses to Hu Che'er, Jia Xu immediately took Hu Che'er to the ambush site and ambushed him.

Then, Zhang Xiu took Jia Xu and the remaining more than 10,000 people to continue to evacuate towards Champion County.

Besides, when Cao Cao led his army to chase in front of the grove where Hu Che'er had set up an ambush, Cao Cao was not too vigilant because of his eagerness to pursue.

When Hu Che'er, who was in ambush in the grove, saw Cao Jun walking through the grove unsuspectingly, he immediately led his troops to launch a surprise attack.

As Hu Che'er led his troops to kill, Cao Jun's morale was suddenly in turmoil.

Cao Cao, who was the leader, saw that he was ambushed, and he hurriedly shouted: "Don't panic, all the soldiers, follow me to kill them!" ”

Besides, after Hu Che'er heard Cao Cao's shout, he immediately brandished a sledgehammer and rushed towards Cao Cao.

Seeing this scene, Xu Chu immediately stopped Hu Che'er halfway.

When Hu Che'er saw Xu Chu killed, he didn't dare to chase after him at all, because Xu Chu's martial arts were far superior to him.

At this time, Dian Wei also escorted Cao Cao to start breaking through.

After some fighting, Cao's army lost more than 3,000 people and finally fought out of the grove.

As for Hu Che'er, nearly 2,000 people were also killed and wounded, because Cao Cao's tiger guards were too strong.

After Hu Che'er saw Cao Jun withdraw from the grove, he immediately ordered his soldiers to release rockets, because this was Jia Xu's advice.

When the rockets of the Xiliang Army were launched, the grove instantly became a sea of fire.

When Cao Cao, who had already escaped from the woods, saw that the grove had become a sea of fire, he immediately laughed and said: "This Jia Wenhe is really powerful, an ambush and a fire have made me so embarrassed!" ”

Hearing Cao Cao laughing, Cao Jun's soldiers didn't dare to speak, because the more Cao Cao laughed, the more angry he was.

After Cao Cao laughed, he immediately ordered the whole army to give up all the horses to the tiger and leopard cavalry, and he planned to personally lead 5,000 tiger and leopard cavalry to raid Zhang Xiu.

After a while, the tiger and leopard rider changed from one man and two horses to one man and three horses.

At this time, Cao Cao said to Xu Chu: "Xu Chu, I order you to lead the infantry to quickly extinguish the fire." ”

After Xu Chu received the order, he immediately led the infantry to extinguish the fire.

Two hours later, the fire in the grove was largely extinguished.

Seeing this situation, Cao Cao said to Xu Chu again: "Xu Chu, you lead the infantry to march backwards, and my relatives led 5,000 tigers and leopards to raid Zhang Xiu." ”

Hearing this, Xu Chu said with some concern: "Lord, wouldn't it be too dangerous for five thousand people to raid?" ”

"It's okay, although Jia Wenhe expected that I would pursue, he would never expect that I would pursue again, even if he guessed by luck, the soldiers and horses in Zhang Xiu's hands would not be enough for a second ambush."

Seeing that Cao Cao said so, Xu Chu couldn't say anything more.

At this time, Cao Cao shouted: "Dian Wei, Cao Chun, follow me to pursue!" ”

Dian Wei and Cao Chun immediately followed Cao to manipulate the horse and left.

As for Xu Chu, he led more than 20,000 foot soldiers to follow.

At this time, Wang Kai of Liguo also received news from Jinyiwei.

When Wang Kai learned that Cao Cao had broken through Nieyang and pursued Zhang Xiu, he immediately felt that this was an excellent opportunity to surrender Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu.

Immediately after, Wang Kai immediately ordered Pei Xingyan and Wei Chigong to reorganize the Guards and the Flying Bear Army, and he planned to lead two elite teams to help.

After Pei Xingyan and Wei Chigong got the order, they immediately put it in order.

At this time, Wang Kai found Li Ru and said to him: "Wen You, just now Jinyi Wei came to report that Cao Cao has conquered Nieyang and is chasing Zhang Xiu, I want to raise troops to rescue immediately, and you will stay in Liguo to guard against Cao's army attacking the city." ”

Li Ru was ordered to come down.

After a while, Pei Xingyan and Wei Chigong came to report that the Guards and the Flying Bear Army were ready.

Immediately following, Wang Kai immediately led the cavalry of the Guards and the Flying Bear Army, totaling 8,000 people, out of the country of Li and killed in the direction of Champion County.

Then turn back to Zhang Xiu's side.

After Hu Che'er led more than 3,000 people to join Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu immediately asked Hu Che'er about the results of the ambush.

When Zhang Xiu learned that more than 2,000 people had been lost in an ambush battle, he suddenly said helplessly to Jia Xu beside him: "Wenhe, if you hadn't designed the ambush, I'm afraid that the little strength I have left will be completely wiped out!" ”

Hearing this, Jia Xu immediately comforted: "Lord, after all, Cao Jun is an elite division, as long as we can successfully enter Champion County, we will have a chance to make a comeback." ”

Zhang Xiu also sighed again after hearing this.

After Zhang Xiu's army walked for a while, Cao Cao led the tiger and leopard cavalry to finally catch up with Zhang Xiu's rear army.

When he saw Zhang Xiujun, Cao Cao immediately ordered: "All the soldiers listen to the order!" Immediately change into a reloaded raid on Zhang Xiu's rear army. ”

As Cao Cao's military order was handed down, the soldiers of the tiger and leopard riders suddenly switched to mounts wearing horse armors.

Then, the soldiers of the 5,000 tiger and leopard riders immediately put on heavy armor.

After everyone finished changing their clothes, Cao Cao suddenly shouted: "Kill with me!" ”

Hearing this, the soldiers of the tiger and leopard riders immediately shouted.

When Zhang Xiu's rear army heard the shouting, they found the rushing ironclad heavy cavalry.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiujun's soldiers immediately spread the news to the front army.

When Zhang Xiu and the others learned that Cao's cavalry had caught up, they were all shocked, because Jia Xu's strategy was perfect, but the result was unsatisfactory.

At this time, Zhang Xiu immediately said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, this Cao army will not give up when it catches up, I will lead the cavalry back to kill now." ”

Hearing this, Jia Xu replied worriedly: "Lord, please be careful!" ”

Zhang Xiu nodded, and then said to Hu Che'er: "Hu Che'er, go back with me!" ”

After Hu Che'er received the order, he immediately led 5,000 cavalry with Zhang Xiu to rush to the rear army.

When Jia Xu saw this, he immediately thought to himself: 'I didn't expect Cao Cao to send cavalry to chase after him alone, what a miscalculation!' If I can't survive this calamity, I'm afraid that my life and that of the lord will not be guaranteed! ’
