The next day, Liu Ping and Cao Ang led 3,000 cavalry to the city of Runan.

Sure enough, I saw that the suspension bridge of the city in front of me was hanging high, the four gates were closed, and the defenders at the head of the city were waiting for them.

Obviously, there was no way to sneak attack, and Cao Ang could only order to line up outside the city.

It's just that they only have 3,000 military horses, and they look very small under the huge Runan City.

Before he could send someone to call for battle, the tall city gate slowly opened, and the drawbridge creaked down.

Lei Bo Chen Lan led an army of 30,000 to fight outside the city.

In the same array, Yuan's army was ten times larger than Cao's army, and naturally it seemed to be huge, and the soldiers were strong and strong.

Lei Bo took the lead in riding in front of the two armies, and said loudly to Cao Jun: "The Han family has exhausted its qi, and your majesty will follow the heavens and respond to the people, and you will dare to raise this unrighteous army and violate my borders, wouldn't it be to hit the stone with an egg?"

The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, if you dismount and surrender, Your Majesty is benevolent, and you can forgive you for the crime of rebellion, and treat you and others well. ”

"Phew!" Cao Ang said angrily: "The Yuan family is tired of eating Hanlu, and the generations are Liu, how can they jump out of Yuan Shu such an unfilial descendant and do such a rebellious thing."

I see that Yuan Shu is just a dry bone in the grave, you are willing to be buried with him, and I will give you a ride. ”

Before the two armies faced each other, they shouted and cursed for a while, which was a routine of warfare in ancient times, just to explain the truth of fighting this battle to show that their division was famous and represented the righteous side.

The routine was almost set, Cao Ang pointed the spear in his hand at Lei Bo, and said, "Traitor doesn't need to say much, do you dare to fight with me?" ”

"Cao Ang Xiao'er, I'm afraid your head is not very bright, right?" Lei Bo sneered: "I have 30,000 elite soldiers under me, ten times more with you, do you think I will be stupid enough to fight with you alone?"

Wait for death! ”

As he spoke, Lei Bo turned his horse back into his formation.

In fact, in ancient times, there were not many opportunities for the generals of the two armies to fight alone.

If you come forward to ask the generals to fight alone, if you defeat them or the other party does not dare to fight, it can greatly boost the morale of your own soldiers.

However, Lei Bo's force was average, and he did not defeat Cao Ang's absolute certainty, and their military strength was ten times that of the other party, so there was no need to fight with Cao Ang at all.

Directly send your troops to push sideways.

At this time, Lei Bo sat on his horse and said coldly to the soldiers around him: "Pass the order, kill a head of the enemy, reward 1,000, kill the enemy general, reward 10,000." ”

Lei Bo is also a person who has been in battle for a long time, no matter how great the cavalry advantage is, it is impossible to use one as ten, how can he put 3,000 enemy troops in his eyes with 30,000 troops?

He waved the command flag in his hand, and the Yuan army lined up in a neat military formation and rushed towards the Cao army's position.

On the other hand, Cao Ang asked Liu Ping to sit in the rear, he raised the spear in his hand, and said loudly to the soldiers: "Meritorious service, at this time, all the kings will kill with me!" ”

Saying that, he took the lead and led his elite cavalry to rush out.

As the eldest prince, he took the lead and personally led the army to charge, which can greatly boost the morale of his soldiers.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Three thousand tigers and leopards rode straight over like tigers descending from the mountain.

The two armies quickly engaged.

The 3,000 cavalry were divided into three teams, led by Xiahou Yuan, Cao Chun, and Zhang Liao.

These three teams rushed into the sea of people like three giant dragons, and everywhere they passed, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and ghosts cried wolves.

Each of their soldiers is one in a hundred elites, and they are all grassland horses, one by one in the enemy army formation, as if entering no man's land, killing people everywhere on their backs, but a stick of incense, the Yuan army has been rushed to pieces.

Lei Bo and Chen Lan, who were watching the formation from behind, suddenly felt that something was wrong, they thought that the army formation composed of 30,000 foot soldiers should be able to easily win by attacking 3,000 cavalry, but what they saw in front of them seemed to be full of different things.

The other party's 3,000 cavalry didn't seem to have suffered any losses at all, but his soldiers were already strewn with corpses.

It is said that although the cavalry has an advantage over the infantry, it cannot be as huge as the current advantage, which is simply a one-sided crushing of the cavalry against the infantry.

"This Cao army doesn't seem to be quite right, the combat power is too strong," Lei Bo said to Chen Lan: "If this continues, we will be defeated." ”

Chen Lan also saw the signs, so she offered advice: "The so-called capture the thief first captures the king, as long as the enemy's main general Cao Ang is killed, the enemy army will be chaotic." ”

Lei Bo nodded, and said to the soldiers around him: "Pass the order, gather all the elite soldiers, and kill Cao Ang."

Those who kill Cao Ang will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan. ”

"No!"

Several of his own soldiers rode on horseback to give the order.

Although Cao Ang did not have a direct military horse in his hands, he was escorted by hundreds of personal soldiers led by Le Jin.

Moreover, according to the tactical arrangement, the three army horses of Xiahou Yuan and Cao Chun did not charge indiscriminately, but formed a larger circle and surrounded Cao Ang in the middle.

It's just that as soon as the three armies and horses rushed into the enemy formation, it was impossible to form a formation as expected, and soon became in a state of fighting on their own.

The Yuan army, which had received the order, began to concentrate its forces at any cost and attack Cao Ang one after another.

And so it worked.

Cao Ang's personal soldiers fell one by one, and the situation was suddenly tense and dangerous.

The spear in his hand flew, and he struck left and right under the protection of Lejin.

However, since Cao Ang, as the main general, has already rushed in, he can't go back, otherwise the soldiers will think that he is going to withdraw the army, and Cao Ang can only barely support the hard battle.

"Zihe, go protect Ang'er."

Xiahou Yuan, who was in the battle array, saw that Cao Ang was in danger, and hurriedly yelled at Cao Chun in the distance.

Cao Ang's importance to the Cao family is self-evident, if Cao Ang loses, the two of them will be guilty of being uncles.

But there were too many Yuan soldiers in front of him, and Yuan Jun seemed to be deliberately blocking them from going to the rescue, and the second general couldn't kill Cao Ang for a while, so he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

At this time, Lei Bo, who was standing at a high place in the rear to watch the battle, saw that Cao Ang's situation could not last long, and couldn't help but give Chen Lan a thumbs up and said: "Brother Tai's clever plan, as long as Cao Ang dies, no matter how elite Cao Jun is, it will inevitably be a mess." ”

In this era of cold weapons, as long as the master is dead, the military spirit will be scattered.

"This Cao army is also really elite, if you don't use this method, I'm afraid that my 30,000 soldiers are not their 3,000 opponents," Chen Lan looked ahead, as if he had palpitations.

"No matter how elite you are, it's just a defeated soldier under me," Lei Bo snorted coldly, raised his right hand, and signaled his own soldiers to prepare to give orders.

As long as Cao Ang dies, he can do the final harvest.

At this time, I saw a great chaos in the battle array, but there was a change again.

It turned out that Xiahou Yuan Cao Chun was in a hurry to save Cao Ang and couldn't rush over for a while, and the one led by Zhang Liaotai Shici, because of the courage of the generals, rushed farther, and it was too late to turn back and rescue.

However, relatively speaking, Zhang Liao's department was very close to the high ground where Lei Bo Chen Lan watched the formation, and he simply led his cavalry to kill Lei Bo Chen Lan.

They want to use a thief to capture the king first, as long as they kill Lei Bo, the Yuan army will also collapse without a fight.

"I can't help myself!"

Lei Bo discovered Zhang Liao's intentions and snorted coldly.

He was not defenseless, long before he ordered the attack, he had already left 3,000 elite soldiers to guard him on his side, and when the other party attacked him, Cao Ang would have died long ago.

"Stop them," Lei Bo ordered.

The herald waved the command flag in his hand, and all the three thousand soldiers gathered in front of Lei Bo, blocking Zhang Liao's way.

"A bunch of local chickens and dogs, also trying to stop me?" Zhang Liao roared and rushed over.

"Since Lao Zhang became the main general, why has his temper become irritable?"

Tai Shici stabbed Yuan Jun in front of him with one shot, scratched his head, and then followed Zhang Liao with Xu Huang left and right.

In this tiger and leopard cavalry, although Tai Shici is slightly higher than Zhang Liao in terms of personal force, but in terms of leading temperament, Zhang Liao is far superior to Tai Shici, so Liu Ping appointed Zhang Liao to temporarily replace him as the chief general of this army.

Zhang Liao's bravery is not covered, after all, in the future battle of Xiaoyaojin, he led 800 soldiers to attack the position of Sun Quan's 100,000 army, and rushed to the command of Sun Quan's commander, almost capturing Sun Quan alive.

At this time, the 1,000 tiger and leopard cavalry he led was far more elite than the future soldiers, and with the help of generals such as Tai Shici and Xu Huang, it was not too easy to impact the 3,000 guards who were thin from the thunder.

In less than a cup of tea, Lei Bo's 3,000 guards had been dispersed.

Lei Bo originally thought that the three thousand soldiers guarding him were foolproof, but he didn't expect Zhang Liao to rush to him in a blink of an eye.

As soon as the two of them fled, the soldiers guarding them also fled, and the soldiers who fought with Cao's army on the battlefield were also instantly defeated like a mountain, and retreated to Runan City like a tide.

The crisis around Cao Ang was naturally solved, he took a breath, pointed the spear in his hand, and yelled angrily.

"Kill!"

Fang Cai was too dangerous, if Zhang Liao hadn't broken Lei Bo, he would have almost been surrounded and killed in the chaos.

At this time, the Cao army became a force to beat the water dogs, and the cavalry of the 3,000 Cao army pursued the remaining 20,000 Yuan troops.

It's just that there are too many Yuan troops who have retreated, and Cao's army can't rush to the front, so they can only kill people when they see them.

For a time, there was a river of blood outside Runan City, and corpses were everywhere.

Lei Bo Chen Lan led the defeated soldiers to flee to the death, fled back to the city in a hurry, and ordered people to set up several rows of horse-resisting stakes more than one person high.

It was made of sharpened trees tied into oblique thorns, the spikes pointed straight in the direction of the enemy, and the horses could not cross it in any way, but a single soldier could get through the gap, which was a sharp weapon against the cavalry.

The defeated soldiers retreated a lot, but in the blink of an eye, the cavalry of the Cao army also pursued and killed to the front, and the powerful generals used their spears to pick up the horse rejection stakes.

Lei Bo Chen Lan hurriedly led the defeated army back into the city and ordered someone to pull up the drawbridge.

The defeated army that followed them back to the city was no more than 10,000, and more than 10,000 people were left outside the city and could not enter the city.

Lei Bo and Chen Lan climbed the city wall, only to see that in the wilderness, Cao Jun began to chase and kill the Yuan army who remained outside the city, as if they were besieging and killing prey.

Cao Jun attacked lightly this time, without bringing food, and it was useless to accept prisoners, so he could only kill these Yuan troops.

The second general Lei Chen held on to the city wall and watched the soldiers being killed below, and he couldn't help but be frightened, and at the same time extremely annoyed.

Their Majesty trusted them and placed half of his army under their command.

Unexpectedly, under the first battle, they were defeated by the 3,000 Cao army, and they watched the more than 10,000 soldiers being chased and killed outside the city, but they couldn't do anything.

"This defeat, with Your Majesty's temper, I'm afraid we will not be able to escape," Lei Bo slammed his fist on the wall brick, leaving a blood stain.

Yuan Shu was a proud and arrogant man, and if he knew that his troops had defeated 30,000 people to 3,000 enemy troops, he would probably not be able to spare them.

"For now, you and I can only defend Runan City for Your Majesty to atone for our sins," Chen Lan sighed and said: "Now there are more than 10,000 soldiers left, although it is not enough to attack the enemy, it is more than enough to defend the city."

Cao's army is all light cavalry, and they have come from afar, so they must not be able to afford to wait with us.

As long as we hold the city firmly, Cao's army will retreat without a fight. ”

"That's the only way," Lei Bo nodded, the cavalry of the Cao army is suitable for a decisive battle in the field, but not for the siege of the city, as long as they follow the consumption, they will consume the consumption of the Cao army.

……

Outside the city, Cao Ang also led the army to set up a camp, and after counting, more than 15,000 enemies were killed in a battle, but their own losses were only about 300 people, which was already very amazing.

After all, the enemy lost two-thirds, and they lost only one-tenth, and this was still in the case of an absolute disadvantage in troops.

However, Cao Ang was annoyed that he did not successfully take Runan City.

For the next few days, he sent his generals to the city every day to call for battle, and no matter how much they called it insulting and humiliating, the defenders at the head of the city turned a deaf ear and did not hear it.

Cao Ang gradually became agitated, now that the weather was getting colder and colder, they only brought rations for ten days on this trip, and if they continued to consume it like this, they would soon run out of food, and they would have to retreat at that time.

Although he had just won a battle, he had not gained an inch of land, and killing nearly 20,000 heads alone was similar to returning in vain.

It's just that his 3,000 cavalry can't attack the city, so he can only stare at the tall Runan city wall in front of him every day and grit his teeth, but he is helpless.

……

Xudu, Sikong House.

"Now that the Southern Expeditionary Army is in a stalemate, it is not good for me, I suggest that Sikong should order the withdrawal of the army," Xun You frowned and said: "The eldest prince killed 20,000 enemies in one battle with 3,000 people, and this credit can also be said to have passed." ”

Cao Cao gritted his teeth, if in normal times, 3,000 soldiers killed 20,000 enemies is considered a miracle.

However, he was scheming and sent Liu Ping to the grassland to buy horses and form elite cavalry, which placed high hopes on this strange army.

To put it mildly, it is to raid Shouchun, directly quell the Yuan Shu rebellion, and to say small, at least a few county towns.

But he didn't expect that there was an accident, and the news of the sneak attack was leaked by Liu Bei, which made Yuan Shu take precautions, this strange army was trapped outside Runan City, how could he be willing?

"Deliver a batch of grain and grass, and if there is no progress within ten days, order them to withdraw."

Cao Cao half-closed his eyes and thought for a moment, as if he could only reluctantly accept this reality.

……

The military rations were sent to the barracks of the Southern Expeditionary Army, but Cao Ang was not happy at all.

"Brother Xian, are we really going to go home empty-handed this time?" Cao Ang stood at the door of the big tent with his hands behind his back, staring at the city wall of Runan City in the distance, and sighed.

Liu Ping held the stove and said with a smile: "Big brother, the younger brother has recently thought of a plan, but I don't know if it's feasible or not." ”
