Chapter 4 Thirty-three, both lose

The black tide swept through You Tao's men and horses.

When things are beyond their own cognition, everyone is panicked and frightened.

These tiger and leopard riders, who were still burning with fire and bleeding from their wounds, did not cry out for severe pain like ordinary people, but on the contrary, they rushed over laughing and laughing. In the eyes of You Tao and his subordinates, these people are simply monsters.

Panic completely triumphed over reason, and everyone, including You Tao, began to attack indiscriminately.

However, the tiger and leopard cavalry, which is full of armor, is almost invincible except for injuries in the seams of the armor. They had no fear, and charged head-on against the enemy's arrows, which was enough to make the other party fearful.

Although there were many people who fell off their horses because they were burned to the core, many more cavalrymen only burned their arms and legs, which was not an injury at all for them who did not need to run at all.

With a charge, You Tao and his subordinates lay down for the most part. The armourless Night Blade was completely vulnerable in front of the regular cavalry.

Cao Chun did not stop his horse when he rushed behind the enemy, but turned his horse's head, made a big bend, and rushed sideways from the side.

You Tao knew that if he continued to consume, he would only be wiped out. Therefore, he immediately gave the order to withdraw to the forest. Only the woods could stop the cavalry attack.

"General Cao, the enemy is about to run away, quickly cut off his retreat." Guo Jia shouted while drinking a wine jug in the distance.

"Guo Jia, you shut up for Lao Tzu!" You Tao was already mad at this bastard, and reached out to copy the crossbow of one of his subordinates, and pointed an arrow at Guo Jia.

"Oops!" Guo Jia threw the wine jug directly, turned over and jumped behind the horse to dodge.

If the situation allows, You Tao will definitely grab Guo Jia desperately and cut him alive one by one. But he didn't have that time right now.

Under Cao Chun's command, the tiger and leopard cavalry split a group and ran directly between You Tao and Lin Zi, cutting off his retreat.

"Brothers, there is no way back for us, and if we don't fight to the death, we will surely be wiped out! Rush with me! You Tao looked at the remaining more than 3,000 horses around him and yelled in despair.

"You Tao! Don't be impulsive! ”

Liang Ji's voice suddenly came. It turned out that after Chang Ao sent You Tao out, he felt uneasy in his heart. Although he was reluctant to expose all his men, if the fire oil soldiers lost too much here, then when they attacked the Northern Headquarters, their strength would be greatly reduced.

Therefore, he ambushed 50,000 horses in the forest, and he came to meet them with 20,000 himself.

"General Cao~~ The enemy's reinforcements have arrived, retreat quickly!" Guo Jia poked his head out from behind the horse and shouted at Cao Chun.

"Humph! Even more people will come, pure and not afraid! "Cao Chun's blood is strong, and he is not afraid at all.

At this time, the tiger and leopard riders had regrouped in front of Guo Jia. All the horsemen threw away the burning armor from their bodies, for they also found that the fire could not be extinguished. The man who was hit by the arrow then pulled the arrow off, ripped off his clothes and bandaged it briefly.

20,000 southeast elites, including shield armor and Changge hands, can form a perfect strangulation formation for cavalry.

Guo Jia rode onto the horse and frowned slightly. As long as the commander on the opposite side is not an idiot, the tiger and leopard rider has no chance of winning.

"In Xia Changao, on the other side, it must be Cao Chun, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Cao Zihe, right?" Chang Ao asked in a tired voice.

"Yes, this is General Cao Chun." Guo Jia replied with a smile.

"And who is Your Excellency?"

"In Xia Guo Jia, he is just a nameless official."

"Chang has a reluctant request, I'm just waiting for Chen to stay today, I don't know if it can be convenient? My lord, Sun Ce, had no intention of being an enemy of Cao Cao. ”

can still say this kind of thing when he has an absolute advantage, Guo Jia also believes that Chang Ao is not lying.

"If my Yanzhou is casually passed by tens of thousands of people, which prince will take my lord in the eyes in the future." Although Guo Jia also knew that if he continued to fight, all the tigers and leopards would have to die here, but he still had to ask for the price.

"Then Your Excellency is not going to let you go?" Chang Ao said, carrying the sledgehammer on his shoulder with one hand.

"That's not true, if you can leave some of the baggage, I won't embarrass you. After all, if the lord did everything to attack Sun Ce, he was afraid that he would not have time to conquer Jiangdong. ”

This is the truth, once Cao Cao is annoyed and he is sent to the southeast, the consequences are unimaginable. And this is also the situation that the six sages repeatedly told themselves to avoid before setting off.

Chang Ao thought for a while, and finally sighed and nodded, "In order to show sincerity, we will send forty percent of the grain and grass to Cao Cao, plus these thousands of corpses, I believe that other princes will never dare to act rashly." ”

Although we wanted to avenge so many brothers, we had to learn to endure in the face of great events. And this is also the most basic quality of being a night handsome.

"In that case, then I will worship General Xie Sun for my lord." After Guo Jia finished speaking, Chong Cao Chun nodded.

For this man whom Cao Cao and Xun Yu admire very much, the generals under Cao Cao are still more respectful.

The tiger and leopard riders quickly gave way, and Chang Ao, in their surprised gaze, brought out all the 50,000 horses in the forest.

Guo Jia looked at the people and horses passing by, and secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must strengthen the patrol in the state and county. 80,000 horses infiltrated Yanzhou, although Cao Cao's main force was not there, but this was too lax.

When all the people and horses of Chang Ao left, Cao Chun came over to Guo Jia with a look of regret and said, "It's a pity, just let them run away." ”

"Hehe, Zihe General, are you sure that you can wipe them all out? He only has scruples because of the strength of the lord, otherwise, you and I would be lying here at this moment. ”

After speaking, Guo Jia looked at the grain and grass car tent left on the road, "It's worth the trip to get so much grain and grass for nothing." ”

"Could it be that you already know that the enemy will definitely betray his favor and the lord? Otherwise, how dare you suggest that the lord only send 3,000 tigers and leopards to ride in? ”

"Men are born in the world, and sometimes they have to gamble, otherwise, wouldn't it be too boring?" After speaking, Guo Jia looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Alas, after a show, there is another you, could it be that the strategists in this troubled world are all crazy?" Cao Chun sighed helplessly.

Guo Jia didn't answer, but just motioned for the tiger and leopard riders to start escorting grain and grass to withdraw.

When all the tigers and leopards began to march, Guo Jia looked at the west from afar and sighed: "Duan Zimo, I can only help you get here." ”

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

Liu Biao looked at the two people below with a depressed expression with a gentle expression - Wen Ping and Wang Wei.

They had just returned yesterday, but only three hundred of the ten thousand horses that had set out with them.

"Whose centaurs?" Liu Biao asked tepidly.

"The end ...... I don't know. ”

"Heh, General Wen's battle is getting more and more powerful, and now he has lost without even knowing who the opponent is." Cai Mao had a mocking expression on her face.

His brother-in-law is Liu Biao, of course he has no scruples about speaking, and because of this relationship, the generals are unwilling to tear their faces with him.

"Alright, the two generals, Kurama Tired, you don't say any more. Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Wen Ping, Wang Wei, you two go down to rest first. "As the pastor of a state, Liu Biao certainly knows who to speak for when and when.

"Thank you, my lord!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

Liu Biao is known for his mild personality, so it is not surprising that the two of them are not surprised.

After surrendering to Liu Biao, the two left the city guard mansion directly.

……

Walking on the steps, Wang Wei finally couldn't help but speak: "General Wen, why don't you make it clear to the Lord?" ”

When Wen Ping heard him ask, he stopped: "General Wang, if the lord knows that those people are Ye Feng, he will definitely be angry and send troops again. But if he did send troops, he would have fallen for the tricks of those people. ”

"Why?"

"Those people will frame the lord for rebellion in front of the emperor, saying that he wants to hijack the holy car. When the time comes, Jingzhou will be in chaos. ”

"Then Han Yuan is just an assassin, how can he have this ability?"

"It's not about him, it's about the one named Yang Feng."

This is what happened at the beginning of last month. After the battle of Suixian, Wen Ping and Wang Wei went all the way north, but when they reached the vicinity of Lu in Hongnong County, they were ambushed again.

The 10,000 horses led by Yang Feng and Han Yuan stood in their way.

In order to protect the emperor, Han Yuan assigned his subordinates to the entire territory of Sizhou and laid a sophisticated security net. As soon as Wen Ping and Wang Wei entered the territory, Han Yuan immediately learned the news through the beacon fire.

Because of his lack of manpower, Han Yuan had no choice but to come with Yang Feng.

The 10,000-strong army composed of the Bai Bo Army and Han Yuan's men also suffered the loss of the shield and arrow array.

It's just that these subordinates left by Han Yuan's side are also not ordinary Ye Feng, but - a thousand "cutting soldiers".

The weapons of this team are all short-handled scythes. This is one of the few Night Fronts in the Northern Headquarters that is used against the regular troops.

Whether the enemy is cavalry or infantry, their primary goal is only one - the legs.

The Warrior can prostrate himself near the ground, quickly charge in front of the enemy, bring them down, and then perform a slashing kill.

This kind of tactic has never been seen by Wen Ping, and of course, his subordinates have never heard of it.

The White Wave Army took cover, allowing the enemy's shield array to change, and then the emptiness of their bodies was exposed, and the soldiers pounced on it.

A well-trained army, of course, would not be at a loss because the formation was disrupted, Wen Ping and Wang Wei immediately stepped forward in person and led their men and horses to fight with them in close combat.

And just like that, a melee began, with no art of war to speak of.

In the vast field, roars and screams rang out at the same time, and everyone was red-eyed. They just rely on instinct to distinguish whether the people around them are friends or foes, and many people accidentally hurt their own people because of their excitement.

The battle lasted for an hour, and in the end, under the cover of Han Yuan, Yang Feng led more than ten horsemen to escape.

But Han Yuan himself was no longer able to withdraw.

Wen Ping and Wang Wei commanded the remaining more than 300 people to surround him in the center.

Han Yuan knew that he had no chance to escape again.

A sneer rolled over his face. He reached out and wiped his face, and rushed to Wen Ping one last time.

……

The battle ended, leaving nearly twenty thousand corpses.

Wen Ping pulled out the long sword that had slashed into half of Han Yuan's neck, wiped it on the sole of his shoe, and shook his head with a wry smile.

The plan to meet the emperor failed.
