Chapter 453: Cao Bao is defeated

Although Lu Bu's family members were hostage in Shouchun, Yuan Shu was still worried that Lu Bu would not listen to orders, so for the sake of safety, he deliberately asked Ji Ling to bring three thousand elites, even if Lu Bu took risks, he could subdue him.

After Ji Ling left Shouchun with 3,000 soldiers and horses, he immediately rushed to Licheng day and night.

After walking on the road for three days, the scout horse sent by Ji Ling came back and reported to him: "General Qiyu, we found a troop of soldiers and horses in front of us and blocked our way?" ”

After listening to Tanma's report, Ji Ling frowned and asked, "Can you see clearly where the soldiers and horses are coming?" How many of them are there? ”

"Returning to the general's words," Tanma quickly replied, "the little one saw that there was a big banner with the word 'Cao' written on it. There were about 500 people, all of whom were foot soldiers except for the generals who led the troops. ”

Knowing that there were only five hundred soldiers and horses blocking the road in front of him, Ji Ling's hanging heart was put back in his stomach, as long as the number of the other party was not as large as his own, then even if the two sides collapsed, he could kill the other party. After walking forward for half a pillar of incense, he saw the soldiers and horses blocking the road in front of him.

Ji Ling urged his horse forward, came to a place thirty paces away from the soldiers and horses, and roared sharply: "Where are you soldiers and horses, why are you blocking the way of General Ben?" ”

As soon as his words fell, he rode out of the opponent's soldiers and horses, and on the back of the horse sat a middle-aged military general with a helmet and armor and a large sword. He pointed at Ji Ling with his hand and said loudly: "I am Cao Bao, the subordinate general of Xuzhou Mu, who are you, who dare to lead troops to invade the territory?" ”

It turned out that after a few days of marching, Ji Ling and the others had unknowingly entered the territory of Xuzhou. Cao Bao, who was patrolling with a song of soldiers and horses, learned that a group of soldiers and horses of unknown origin had invaded the border, and immediately sent people back to Xuzhou to report to Tao Qian, while he came to intercept with his men and horses.

But when he saw clearly that the number of soldiers and horses who came was several times more than his own, Cao Bao's heart couldn't help but be stunned for a while, but since he had already come, turning around and leaving would inevitably affect morale, so he could only bite the bullet and order the soldiers and horses to line up on the official road and prepare to fight.

After Cao Bao had the courage to shout these words, his twin strands couldn't help but tremble slightly, he was afraid that he would anger the other party, as long as the two sides started a war, his side with few people would definitely suffer.

Fortunately, Ji Ling didn't notice Cao Bao's abnormality, he heard Cao Bao say this, and realized that the soldiers and horses he led had unknowingly entered the territory of Xuzhou. So he put the three-pointed two-edged knife on the saddle, arched his hand towards Cao Bao, and said politely: "It turned out to be General Cao, and a certain is Ji Ling, a general under Yangzhou Muyuan Highway, who was ordered to chase after a defected army of soldiers and horses, and asked General Cao to make it convenient for my troops to pass." ”

Cao Bao was originally going to see that the situation was not good, so he turned around and fled, but at this moment, when he saw Ji Ling actually saying soft things to himself, his attitude immediately changed, and he said with a straight face: "General Ji Ling, this is the boundary of Xuzhou, you didn't say hello, so you broke in." Don't retreat quickly, otherwise Hugh will be unkind. ”

Ji Ling spoke to Cao Bao in a low voice, not because he was afraid of him, but because he considered that he had indeed broken into the boundary of Xuzhou, and it was better to have more than one thing, and he couldn't waste time on the road. Who knew that Cao Bao on the other side was so uninteresting, and he just told himself to go back. As the smile on his face gradually disappeared, his tone became stern: "Cao Bao, General Ben is polite, not because he is afraid of you, you have to take an inch." He picked up the three-pointed, two-edged knife that was placed in the saddle, "If not, Hugh blames General Ben for being unkind." ”

"You're welcome?" Cao Bao said disdainfully: "Do you still want to kill someone?" ”

"Kill you, kill you," Ji Ling saw Cao Bao despise him so much, he couldn't help but be angry, he stepped forward, slashed the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand towards Cao Bao, and shouted: "Nameless general, machete!" ”

Seeing Ji Ling's blade slashing towards him, Cao Bao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly raised the big knife with both hands and used the blade to set up a three-pointed two-edged knife. He originally planned to knock Ji Ling's blade open, and then slash over and split the other party off the horse. Ji Ling's blade slammed into Cao Bao's knife shaft, which shocked Cao Bao's mouth numb, and the big knife was almost shaken off.

"It's not good, I didn't expect this person's martial arts to be so strong against me." Cao Bao secretly complained in his heart, "If you don't deal with it carefully, I'm afraid you will have to worry about your life." He hurriedly put away his contempt, cheered up and began to make moves with Ji Ling. Where is Cao Bao Ji Ling's opponent, the two of them only fought seven or eight moves, Cao Bao was in danger, he couldn't help but feel remorseful, he knew that this was the case, Fang Cai should have let them go, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger.

The Yuan army brought by Ji Ling saw that his main general had already fought with the other party's generals, and immediately urged the soldiers and horses to press up. In the face of the Yuan army that pressed over, the Xuzhou soldiers could only step forward to meet the enemy, many soldiers who heard the conversation between Cao Bao and Ji Ling, and desperately greeted the female relatives of Cao Bao's family in their hearts.

However, when his life was at stake, when Xu Xu Bing cursed the female relatives of Cao Bao's family in his heart, he had to fight hard with Yuan Jun who rushed up. The Xuzhou soldiers were originally inferior to the Yuan army in terms of combat strength, coupled with their disadvantage in numbers and lack of fighting spirit, the two armies clashed for only a moment, and the Xuzhou soldiers showed their defeat.

When Cao Bao and Ji Ling clashed, they always paid attention to the movements around them, and when they saw that the defeat of their own soldiers and horses was decided, where did they dare to fight, they turned their horses and ran back. Seeing that Cao Bao had fled, Ji Ling was willing to let him go easily, and immediately urged the horse to follow. The main general fled, and the Xuzhou soldiers who were already struggling to support had no need to fight, so they immediately dispersed. How could Yuan Jun give up such a good opportunity and immediately chase after him.

Cao Bao fled fast in front, Ji Ling chased after him in the back, and the distance between the two was only a dozen zhang, but this distance could not be shortened. Cao Bao didn't know what the situation of his soldiers was, but he knew very well in his heart that once he was caught up by Ji Ling, there would be only one way to die, and he could only desperately urge his mount to flee in the direction of Xuzhou City. His idea is very simple, no matter how strong Ji Ling is, dare to take these thousands of people to attack Xuzhou?

In this way, the two ran out of more than ten miles, and suddenly there was a cannon sound in front of them, and then a group of soldiers and horses appeared on the official road, blocking the road tightly. Seeing the soldiers and horses that suddenly appeared, Cao Bao was startled at first, and when he saw clearly that it was the banner of the Xuzhou Army, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Cao Bao was chased by a military general and fled in embarrassment, a military general in the Xuzhou army came out of the crowd and stepped forward to respond. After Cao Bao saw the faces of the people who came, he was even more overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "Mi Zifang save me." ”

The military general who brought troops to help was Mi Fang, the cavalry commander under Tao Qian, and after he heard Cao Bao's shout, he hurriedly responded loudly: "General Cao, don't worry, Mi is here to help you!" ”
