Chapter 146: The more frustrated you are, the braver

As Liu Yi, Cao Cao and others pursued Dong Jun westward, the five-month Kwantung coalition camp collapsed, and Yuan Shao and Han Fu could only retreat to the second best place, and had a personal relationship with Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, to form an alliance front.

Due to the shortage of grain and grass, coupled with the protracted conflict of interests, the princes of all walks of life did not stop, and dispersed with a bang, and then stopped, with no beginning and no end.

Headed by Liu Yi and supplemented by Cao Cao, the new Dong Alliance of 8,000 men and horses drove for two days and one night in a row, and finally came to Yanshi County, two hundred miles east of Luoyang City.

The sky was dark and dark clouds were thick, and Cao Cao, who was marching at the front, suddenly drank the war horse under his crotch, raised his hand, and ordered the whole army to stop advancing.

An ominous premonition hit Cao Cao's brain, and he chased after him all the way, but he didn't see half of Dong Jun, which was indeed a little weird.

Dian Wei immediately rode his horse over.

"Lord, why are you stopping?"

Cao Cao pointed to Xiaomang Mountain, two miles ahead, and said cautiously: "Evil, you take a team of cavalry over to have a look!" ”

Dian Wei understood, led a team of cavalry, and walked towards Xiaomang Mountain, the sky was getting darker and darker, as if it was covered by a black cloth.

"This thief, oh my God, it's just past noon, and it's dark."

Dian Wei muttered to himself.

When they came to the foot of Xiaomang Mountain, Dian Wei sent people to search inward, and they had just entered the mountain forest.

Suddenly, a lightning bolt rolled down from the sky and hit the eastern land, and then a deafening thunder sounded and shattered the dark clouds in the sky, and the bean-sized raindrops immediately rolled down, ticking, ticking and hitting Dian Wei.

"Kill!"

At this moment, thousands of people in Xiaomang Mountain rushed out, led by a military general, with golden armor and golden helmets, holding an eight-foot long knife, majestic.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Several sharp arrows broke through the air one after another, and all the cavalry soldiers brought by Dian Wei were shot, and they fell off their horses one by one, unable to stand up again.

Dian Wei swung his Xuantie Halberd, slashed the wolf tooth arrows shot one by one, and took the opportunity to retreat.

"Array up to meet the enemy!"

Cao Cao shouted urgently, and the two generals behind him, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, rushed forward and blocked Cao Cao.

"Shield!"

Xiahou Yuan immediately shouted, and then looked around the battlefield, trying to find favorable terrain, but looking around, it was open, and there were not even ridges and pits.

Dian Wei Zema hurriedly returned, broke into the military formation, and beside Cao Cao, who came, he gasped and said: "Lord, there are ambush soldiers, there are more than 10,000 people!" ”

Cao Cao didn't reply, his eyes widened and looked straight ahead, his position was very unfavorable for defense, but it was convenient for the cavalry to charge, if the Dong army ambushed cavalry, it only took a few back and forth, and his thousand people would be completely finished.

"Rush!"

In the formation of the Dong army, the general Xu Rong swung the long knife in his hand forward, and nearly a thousand cavalry suddenly rushed out and killed the Cao army.

The sound of clattering horses' hooves hit Cao Cao's heart again and again, and he was really afraid of anything.

"Lord, there are many thieves and soldiers, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, you can let the captain lead his own soldiers to cover your retreat first, and the last general will stay behind and break the rear!"

Cao Renhuo, the clan general, said in a hurry.

"Yes, my lord, there are more than 10,000 enemy troops, and we only have 1,000 people, which is very dangerous, please withdraw first and let General Zhengbei come to the rescue!"

Cao Hong also persuaded from the side.

Cao Cao's face was like frost, but his expression was unusually calm, and he said solemnly: "I can't go, if I go, the army's morale will be chaotic, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that none of these thousand brothers will survive." ”

"Lord ......"

Cao Ren tried his best to persuade him, but before he could speak, Cao Cao had already pulled out the long sword at his waist and said solemnly: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to persuade again, Cao Ren listens to the order!" ”

"The end ...... The end will be! ”

"You immediately go to General Zhengbei and ask him to come to support, whether these thousand brothers can survive or not depends on you."

Cao Ren's heart sank, and Zheng Sheng replied: "The last general will take orders!" ”

The 8,000 men and horses were divided into three teams, Cao Cao was the front team, Liu Yi and Bao Xin were the middle army, and Zhang Miao was the rear team, each team was ten miles apart, so as not to go deep and fall into Dong Zhuo's ambush.

But now that the Dong army has a large number of people, it is ten times more than the Cao army, and there are also elite soldiers of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who crisscross the battlefield, and it is not easy to hold out until Liu Yi leads the troops to the rescue.

Cao Ren hurriedly beat the horse away, and the horsewhip kept whipping the beloved horse under the crotch, and his mood was as heavy as a mountain.

"The generals obey the order and follow me to meet the enemy!"

Cao Cao roared loudly, not afraid of killing the Dong army who came to the battle, directly rode his horse to the front of the formation, handed the long sword in his hand to Xiahou Yuan, and shouted: "From now on, you will command the whole army, Cao Hong will be the war supervisor, one person will retreat without authorization, kill one army, one army will retreat without authorization, and kill one thing." ”

Xiahou Yuan took the long sword, raised it above his head, and roared loudly: "The last general obeys the order!" ”

Cao Cao immediately grabbed the longbow on his horseback and said solemnly to the soldiers behind him: "From this moment on, I, Cao Cao, am an archer, living and dying with you." ”

"Lord!"

Xiahou was stunned, and hurriedly came to Cao Cao's side, and said in a low voice: "Lord, the sword has no eyes......

Cao Cao drank Xiahoudun and said sharply: "The sword has no eyes, is it that my Cao Cao also has no eyes, my Cao Cao is a human being, and the thousand brothers behind me are not human beings?" General Xiahou, go do what you should do, don't waste Lao Tzu's time here, I have to shoot a few more thieves. ”

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, the 1,000 Cao troops behind him were all enthusiastic and high-spirited, and they could serve such a lord and die well.

"Mighty!"

Dian Wei slammed the Darkiron Twin Halberds into the air and roared loudly.

"Mighty!"

A thousand Cao troops also roared in unison at the same time, soaring into the sky, like thunder.

Suddenly, heavy rain poured down, and Dong Jun also entered the range of Cao's army.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Xiahou Yuan roared loudly, his heart was also half cold, such a heavy rain, the crosshairs and strength of the arrows shot out were greatly reduced, and it was difficult to cause fatal damage to the enemy.

The dull sound of strings made splashes, and sharp arrows pierced through the water droplets and shot at the enemy......

Troubled by heavy rain, Liu Yi was about to find a place to shelter from the rain, when he suddenly rode a fast horse in the rain.

"It's Cao Ren?"

Liu Yi shouted loudly.

Cao Ren quickly came to Liu Yi, jumped off the horse, knelt on the ground and said: "General, my family was ambushed by Dong thieves in Xiaomangshan, there are more than 10,000 thieves in the thief army, and they are in danger, please rescue the general!" ”

Ambushed again?

Looking at Cao Ren, who was kneeling on the mud, he didn't have to think about it to know that Cao Cao was at a life-and-death juncture.

Liu Yi didn't hesitate and said: "The whole army is speeding forward and rushing to Xiaomangshan!" ”

Cao Ren's heart was relieved, as long as there was Liu Yi's words, he knew that his lord was saved.
