Among the bandits who walked ahead, many of them were the same bandits who had attacked Li Xian and Cao Ang before, and they were already frightened when they saw Li Xian, and hurriedly turned around and fled.

Originally, when they suddenly encountered the enemy army, the bandits were already caught off guard.

They were frightened by the bandits in front of them, and they had all heard the story of General Halberd, and heard that this person was extremely brave and killed like a melon.

Because Li Xian was attacked in the north of the Yellow River before, the bandits came to the south of the Yellow River this time, and they were originally glad that they would not meet the halberd general.

Now they suddenly encountered it, and they were very frightened in their hearts.

Bai Huan was not afraid of their legendary halberd general, he let his small leaders just stabilize the troops, and the cavalry led by Li Xian had already been killed.

Although there were nearly 10,000 thieves who crossed the Yellow River, they were rushed by well-trained regular cavalry, and the bandits did not form a formation, so there was no reason not to collapse.

Li Xian waved his halberd, stabbed and slashed all the way, and killed more than a dozen thieves.

Li Xian's camp-breaking infantry has also attacked, and together with the cavalry, they attack and kill the bandits.

Breaking the camp is the first time to participate in the war, and facing these bandits who have not been formally trained is like chopping melons and vegetables.

Originally, the bandits were very frightened when they heard the name of the halberd general, and they had the psychology of cowardice.

Now they were killed by the sergeant and were powerless, and they all turned around and ran back.

But they had just turned around, and before they had gone far, another officer army was killed in front of them.

Because there were too many thieves and the queue was too long, as long as the drums sounded on Li Xie's side, Xiahoudun would lead the troops to rush out and intercept them.

Under the attack from both sides, Bai Huanyi gritted his teeth and ordered the thieves to break through to the Yellow River with all their might.

How difficult was this battle......

Of course, it's about the bandits.

Countless of them have been trampled to death by their own people.

The so-called soldiers are like a mountain, and they are not soldiers.

Because the soldiers have been trained in orthodoxy, their psychological quality will be better than theirs.

It was very easy for Li Xian to chase and cut here, but the pressure on Xiahoudun's side was great.

After all, the bandit is to escape for his life, and he will fight you if he initiates a ruthless attack.

Li Xian and Xiahoudun pursued until the Yellow River, and many of those who did not have time to cross the river hurriedly surrendered.

In the end, the battlefield statistics were cleaned up, and more than 6,000 thieves were killed and more than 2,000 prisoners were captured.

More than 20 cavalry and more than 80 infantry were killed on Li Xie's side.

More than 50 cavalry and more than 300 infantry were killed on Xiahoudun's side.

The thief's leader, Bai Huan, has been killed in the chaos of the army.

Li Xian led his nearly 2,000 cavalry to chase across the Yellow River.

Xiahoudun also led his subordinates to escort them back to Puyang.

Cao Ren led a thousand cavalry as the vanguard, and when he arrived at Weiguo, he happened to encounter a group of bandits, which seemed to be five or six thousand people.

Cao Ren didn't care about any formation tactics, and led the cavalry to rush in a row.

The bandits were rushed and scattered.

chased out more than ten miles and encountered the Zhenggu brigade.

Like Bai Huan, the stubborn brigade was rushed by the defeated soldiers, and it was also chaotic.

Cao Ren's cavalry rushed into the crowd of thieves like fierce tigers, and it was a burst of indiscriminate slashing.

Seeing this, he knew that the enemy cavalry was brave, and his men were in chaos again, so he could only flee.

Cao Ren chased until the territory of Jizhou before stopping, killing more than 2,000 bandits.

So Cao Cao's army marched all the way, but he didn't encounter a single bandit.

He led his men to camp at Dunqiu.

Li Xian chased the bandits across the Yellow River, and killed and captured more than 1,000 people before leading his troops to Dunqiu to meet Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he saw Li Xian: "It's not straight, you have made great contributions again, I don't know how to reward you." ”

Cao Ren also said enviously on the side: "I heard that Buzhi and Yuan Rang actually killed more than 6,000 thieves and captured more than 2,000 people, what a miracle." I have only killed more than 2,000 bandits, and it is really not the same as not being straight. ”

The relationship between Cao Hong and Li Xian is not bad now, Li Xian still owes him a favor, and now the white horse that Li Xian rides is the kamikaze horse that Cao Hong gave him.

Cao Hong said: "If you don't break the camp, and the foot soldiers in his broken camp are almost comparable to the cavalry, how can you not make great contributions." ”

Li Xian just smiled and said: "I just have a small merit, and the main credit is that Xiahou Yuan let the general command properly, so that he can kill so many thieves." ”

"Well, Yuan Rang, Zixiao, not straight, you have made great achievements. I'll give you credit first, and I'll reward you later. Cao Cao was very satisfied with the performance of his subordinates.

"General Li's name as General Halberd has already made thieves fearful, and there are well-trained horsemen and broken camps. In particular, General Li knew the enemy first, which really made Xi admire. A young man in his twenties, dressed as a literati standing next to him, said.

Li Xian doesn't know who he is, but he calls himself Xi, and it is very likely that he is Xi Zhicai.

Cao Cao thought that Li Xian and Xi Zhicai had never met, and introduced: "This is Mr. Xi Zhicai." ”

Li Xian hurriedly saluted Xi Zhicai and said: "I have admired Mr. Xi's name for a long time, and I am really fortunate to see him today." ”

Xi Zhicai also returned the courtesy: "I heard Wen Ruo talk about it, you want Wen Ruo to recommend me and Feng Xiao to General Cao, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Xi is a genius in the world, how can he hide in the countryside. General Cao Lixian, a corporal, has the great ambition of securing the world, and is seeking the help of such talents as Mr. Cao. ”

Cao Cao listened and smiled happily beside him.

"But the drama is not famous in the world, how does the general know?"

"As the so-called wine fragrance is not afraid of deep alleys, the master is hidden in the deep mountains and the name moves in the world, Mr. is talented, and the name will be seen and heard in the world. Although there are very few people who hear it, but the oblique chance to hear the name of Mr. Wen, so I mentioned it to Wen Ruo. ”

Cao Cao smiled: "If you don't say it directly, you must be famous." Mr. Zide, every time I talk to each other, I am very happy. It's a pity that Fengxiao was originally invested early, otherwise the two of them will be able to realize their ambition as soon as possible. ”

Li Xian saw Cao Cao talking about Guo Jia, and then said: "The general doesn't have to worry, although Fengxiao votes for General Yuan, he will not be reused by General Yuan, and within a few years, he will serve under the general." ”

"If you don't say anything, it's good."

"Now that the bandits have retreated into Jizhou and fled back to Montenegro, does General Li have a good plan to destroy the thieves?" Xi Zhicai wanted to test Li Xian's strategy.

"Not straight, tell me what you think." Cao Cao also wanted to hear what Li Xian's plan was.

"The bandits retreated to Montenegro, although they had already sent people to find out the location of their Bentun and the path into the mountain, but they were too numerous, hundreds of thousands. Moreover, the mountain roads are rugged, and if we attack the valley, we may not be able to win.

It's better to garrison troops here, and the slanting bandits will think that Dongwuyang has no troops to defend it, and go to attack Dongwuyang. At that time, we can make a situation to attack its own tun, and when it comes back to the rescue, we can ambush its troops to attack, and we can destroy its thieves. It's just that the general will let General Miaocai hold on to Dongwuyang. ”

Li Xian thought that in history, Yu Poison would attack Dongwuyang.

Cao Cao listened to it and said: "Zhicai and I have the same plan, Dongwuyang has 5,000 troops to defend, and there are Miaocai and Wen Ruogongtai and others, there should be no problem." ”

Xi Zhicai said to Li Xie: "The general is really both civil and military, and he has the talent of a general." If we continue to use the people of the city to disguise themselves as soldiers and go out of the city, show the thieves the city's emptiness, and lure the thieves to attack, then the plan will be more stable. ”

Li Xian couldn't help but admire: "Mr. is clever." ”

Cao Cao then sent people to Dongwuyang and ordered Xiahou Yuan to let 2,000 people in the city pretend to be soldiers and come to Dunqiu.

Cao Cao held a banquet in the camp to celebrate everyone's achievements.

At the same time, a large number of scouts were sent to detect the movements of the bandits in the direction of Montenegro.

Yu Xuan, who attacked Wei County, was also defeated by Yuan Shao, Yan Liangwen, Chou and others, and fled back to Montenegro.

This time, Yu Poison and other black mountain thieves were defeated, and the worst defeat was the attack on Puyang's Bai Huanbu.

Not only did he lose nearly 10,000 people, but Bai Huan also died in battle.

Therefore, Yu Poison knew that Cao Cao's troops were in Dunqiu, and he found out that there were only 3,000 defenders in Dongwuyang, so he planned to take advantage of the emptiness of Dongwuyang and lead the crowd to attack Dongwuyang to avenge Bai Huan.

But they just had a defeat and they needed some time to recuperate.

Winter goes to spring, and in a blink of an eye, it is the spring of the third year of Chuping.
