Chapter 507: Xuzhou (3)
"Let's go up together and kill him!"
Cao Xiu made a decision in an instant, the long knife flew around, slashed one person, and hurriedly retreated into the formation, commanding his subordinates to surround and kill Han Meng, and commanding his subordinates to block the Youzhou army, wanting to separate Han Meng from it.
In terms of martial arts, Cao Xiu can only be regarded as acceptable, not to mention that there are many people in the army who are more powerful than him, but there are also many; In terms of vision and combat alone, Cao Xiu is among the best, otherwise how dare Cao Cao hand over his elite cavalry tiger and leopard cavalry to him, is it just by virtue of his identity as a disciple of the Cao family? If Cao Cao was really so confused, how could he get to where he is today.
Han Meng moved forward bravely, but he didn't notice this, and when he rushed forward a few zhang, and when Cao Xiu was still more than thirty zhang, he realized that the sergeant behind him did not follow, and he was stunned.
"Cao Jun is a ghost!"
Han Meng was also a person who knew the soldiers, so he understood in an instant, but he was not worried, he just shouted: "All the soldiers form a formation to break the enemy, don't pay attention to the captain of this school!" ”
The cavalry who came with him folded when he heard the sound, and simply went around to the side.
Cao Xiu also heard the shout, and when he saw this strange scene, his heart couldn't help but tighten, and he focused his attention on them.
Although Han Meng was brave, the tiger and leopard cavalry was the elite division of the Cao army, and Cao Xiu commanded him, so it was difficult for him to advance an inch for a while.
"Huh? Cao Jun is not full of wine bags and rice bags! ”
Gongsun Du watched the battle from behind, saw Han Meng's situation clearly, and suddenly became a little more interested in Cao Xiu, and-
"It's okay, just to see how much ability Han Meng, the old general, still has!"
Han Meng is new and old, and there are very few people in the army who are willing to fight with him, even if it is the violent Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong is not very willing to do it now, and he has not studied with him, so no one knows what his martial arts are.
Gongsun Du looked at Han Meng for a long time, and no longer paid attention to the other places on the battlefield.
"Okay, yes, that's it, first use the sweep of a thousand troops to cut the enemy on the right, and then take advantage of the momentum to turn a few steps to the right, with unparalleled speed...... Oh, it's amazing, even people and horses have taken flights, it seems that the strength is not much smaller than Yide...... Well, yes, one shot has three shots, three gun shadows, one can kill one person, martial arts are slightly lower than Zilong, after all, Zilong can shoot five shadows in one shot, but it is also very good, so it seems that a certain underestimate Han Meng! Hehe, I just don't know if so many people have died, is Cao Xiu distressed? Cao Cao doesn't hate it! ”
Gongsun Du commented from time to time, which made Dian Wei, who couldn't see the battlefield clearly, listen to it with taste.
"Ming Gong said it so well, if only he could say it every day."
Dian Wei naturally didn't dare to say this directly, but just listened intently.
Suddenly, a person beside him said: "Ming Gong, Cao Jun is about to withdraw!" ”
After speaking, he seemed to complain and said: "Ming Gong, compared with our Youzhou army, Cao Jun is not as good as an adult compared to an adult, and a young man is better than a strong man, why do you have to accompany Jia?" It's just a matter of accompanying you, so why can't you drink alcohol yet? ”
Gongsun Du glanced at him lightly and said, "I'm afraid the second half of your sentence is what you really want to say!" Do you want to let you go back to Zhuoxian to drink enough? ”
Guo Jia thought of the tigress in Zhuoxian's house, and suddenly his body shook, pretending to be crazy and stupid: "Did Jia say anything?" He looked around again and said, "No! ”
Gongsun Du shook his head and set his eyes on the battlefield.
Guo Jia immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then his expression was straight, and he said, "Lord, do you want to outflank them immediately and leave them all behind?" ”
"No!" Gongsun Du waved his hand without looking back and refused.
"Why?" Guo Jia asked thoughtfully.
"Let them escape, the harder they escape, the better, the more the better!"
When Guo Jia heard this, his eyes rolled, and he shook his head and said, "Jia understands!" ”
"Understood?" Gongsun Du put away the telescope and asked with a smile.
Guo Jia saw that everyone around him was curious, and he also had the intention to show off, and replied: "Cao Jun came to us, as Jia said before, it is vulnerable. However, Ming Gong has always cherished his subordinates, and if he can only damage one person, he must not get more than half a point. Therefore, if it is outflanked, Cao Jun will see that he cannot escape, and he will inevitably fight back desperately, increasing casualties in vain, one of them. ”
"Can't Cao Jun surrender?" Gongsun Du promoted the narrow way.
Guo Jia paused, saw that everyone looked like this, and explained: "As far as Jia knows, the soldiers selected by Cao Jun are all young and strong, with brothers and parents, if they surrender, with Cao Cao's temperament, even if he does not raid his family, I am afraid that his family will not have a good time." ”
Gongsun Du nodded and did not speak again.
Guo Jia said again: "Second, the people who lead the army this time are Cao Zhang, Cao Zhang, and Cao Xiu, the thousands of horses of the Cao family!" The two of them have a great reputation among the Cao army, and this defeat will inevitably spread to the Quartet with the escape of the defeated army, so that the Cao army in Xuzhou will inevitably fall sharply, which is beneficial to our army. ”
"Hahaha, where you fight, attack the heart! Fengxiao, Fengxiao, I really saw through it at a glance! Gongsun Du stroked his hands and praised. The people around him were also full of admiration. Only Dian Wei didn't know what to do, he just thought it sounded good, and nodded.
When Gongsun Du saw this, he could only shake his head and sigh secretly: A stubborn stone is a stubborn stone, and rotten wood is rotten wood, and it can't support jade, nor can it become a wood carving, so it can only be used as a foundation, as a wood fire or something.
Dian Wei didn't know this, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Among the Cao army, Cao Zhang was beaten in embarrassment at this time, but fortunately, the surrounding Cao army soldiers tried their best to save him and desperately blocked Zhang He, so he was able to escape. Cao Zhang wanted to take a break and fight again, but when he heard the sound of drums, he couldn't help but be shocked: Could it be that the big array was broken?
The sound of the drum is the signal of the retreat agreed between Cao Zhang and the generals, but the signal of the march is Mingjin.
"Withdraw~"
Cao Zhang was not worried about giving orders indiscriminately, and immediately gave the order to retreat.
On the other side, Cao Xiu, who was targeted by Han Meng, was miserable, and wanted to retreat when he heard the sound of drums, but he was entangled by Han Meng and couldn't get out.
"Let's go up together and help the general!"
With a shout, the surrounding tigers and leopards rushed up, wanting to save Cao Xiu.
"Look for death!"
Han Meng shouted angrily, rode his horse a few steps, and fired four shots in a row, each of which went straight to Cao Xiu's door.
Cao Xiu's eyesight is extremely high, and he was horrified when he saw this: My life is over!
With a "bang", Cao Xiu only felt a pain in his shoulders and chest, flew out upside down, and fell a few feet away, and even hit a few people. It turned out that when Han Meng was about to be on the tip of the gun, he saw that he couldn't deal with it, and he was captured alive, so he immediately changed his move, and two shots hit his left and right shoulders, and the two shots hit his breastplate, directly shattering it.
"Don't move!"
After Cao Xiu landed, he was about to get up, but he saw two steel knives on his neck, and when he looked at it, it was not Cao Jun, but Youzhou Jun, and his eyes suddenly dimmed.
After taking Cao Xiu, Han Meng turned around and paid attention to the tiger and leopard knights who shouted just now.
"It's all for Ben to die!"
Han Meng didn't let go of their thoughts, and when the gun came out, it would be fate!
More than ten people were killed without fighting back, and the remaining Cao Jun suddenly understood that it was impossible to save the general, so he turned around and ran away without hesitation.
Han Meng didn't pursue, but just watched Cao Xiu. How can a few small soldiers be able to withstand this big fish, the most important thing is that this is Gongsun Du's order, and Han Meng doesn't want an accident.
However, after Cao Jun saw that he was about to evacuate and Cao Xiu was tied up again, Han Meng couldn't help it after all, and said, "You escort him to Ming Gong, and the rest of the people will follow the captain to hunt down the enemy army!" ”
"Yes!"
Han Meng and Zhang He chased out nearly a hundred miles, and they were almost able to follow the outline of Gaocheng before retreating.
When it was dark, the second general led his army back and reported the results of the battle.
Gongsun Du went to the underground camp, cleaned up the battlefield, and when the second general returned, he counted the results of the battle, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "30,000 Cao troops formed a formation to block the road, but I didn't expect that less than half of them escaped, it seems that a certain pair of Cao Jun is overestimated!" ”。
In this battle, more than 8,000 of Cao's 30,000 soldiers were killed, and nearly 10,000 people were wounded and captured, of which most of them were seriously injured, more than 6,000 people. Gongsun Du is different, the amputation of the amputation, the recuperation of the recuperation, all the best treatment, in the end, the vast majority of people can survive, only a few will die because of this.
The Youzhou army suffered a lot of damage, with 1,800 killed, more than 2,000 seriously wounded, and more than 10,000 lightly wounded. The intact ones are just over 10,000.
