Cao Cao's generals saw thousands of outlaws rushing towards the Chinese army's array, and tens of thousands of soldiers in front of them could not stop them, and at this time there were less than 2,000 soldiers left around Cao Cao, how could they stop the dead soldiers of this vigorous vanguard battalion! All of them were lost for a while, where would anyone dare to plunder their cherry edges.

Cao Zhen hurriedly took a few steps forward, protected Cao Cao behind him, and hissed: "Father, go quickly, the child will be cut off for his father." ”

Cao Cao was in a trance at this time, I don't know when, these juniors were already so powerful, looking at the vanguard battalion soldiers who were bare-chested, without any scruples about the arrows flying behind them, and only struggling to charge forward, Cao Cao was aroused to be arrogant in his heart, thinking that he had been dominating the world for more than ten years, killing Ding Yuan, defeating the Yellow Turban, chasing Liu Bei, destroying Yuan Shu, and the long knife in his hand could be described as invincible.

Even Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, occupy the rich land of the Central Plains, it can be said that it is fertile for thousands of miles, and there are many talents, and Lu Bu of the land of Yanzhao in Hebei Province echoes with each other.

But since the war with Lu Bu, Cao Cao has since fallen into a vicious circle of more defeats and fewer victories, after several wars, not only lost most of the city territory, but also died in the hands of Lu Bu. After several years of attacking, it can be said that there were heavy casualties and great damage to vitality.

Countless times in the face of Lu Bu's army, he could only flee when he heard the wind, and now that he has arrived in Yangzhou, where can he go? If even this small group of enemy troops with only more than 1,000 people can't be defeated, what face does he have to lead tens of thousands of troops, immediately draw his sword in person, and order a group of soldiers and generals: "The thieves are fierce, we are also born to our parents, why are we afraid of the barbarians in the state, the generals will be with me, exterminate this bandit, the heavens and the earth will be clear, and the righteousness will live forever, kill!" ”

Ignoring the generals' obstruction, he stepped forward first.

The soldiers will be inspired, and they will have a commander to fight alongside them, even if they die on the battlefield!

For a time, the only 2,000 guards of the Cao army rode their horses and galloped wildly, taking the lead one by one, and the battle of destroying the enemy that was originally nine out of ten was turned out to be a battle to the death.

The two thousand Cao Cao guards had the lessons of Xu Chu and Xiahoudun before, and tried their best to maintain the array between the soldiers and horses, and did not give Ding Xu a chance to use his old plan again.

No matter how brave Ding Xu and other thousands of soldiers are, they are flesh and blood after all, how can they resist Cao Cao's guards, who have twice the strength of their own, as soon as Fang engaged, Cao Cao's cavalry broke into the big formation, dividing the vanguard battalion of only more than 1,000 people into two halves.

Ding Xu saw that his soldiers had suffered heavy casualties, and without armor to protect him, no matter where the enemy's sword slashed, it would cause fatal damage.

Therefore, even if the only remaining soldiers of the vanguard battalion were all elite soldiers selected from the 100,000 and state armies, in the face of Cao Cao's guards cavalry armed to the teeth, they could only barely fight to the core, and even the warriors of the vanguard battalion fell with swords and spears one after another.

After fighting for a long time, Ding Xu only felt that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, but there were more and more Cao troops who came from all directions to reinforce him. Outside the whirlpool, there were countless elite soldiers stationed on the riverbank, and Ding Xu and others were like a magnet, attracting all the soldiers and horses of the Cao army to gather towards him with him as the center.

Cao Cao personally met the enemy, blocked Ding Xu's strong attack, and finally waited for the arrival of reinforcements from all directions, at this time, he had withdrawn from the battle formation with a group of generals, looking at the hundreds of vanguard battalion generals who were still dying in the array, and finally sighed: "Lu Bu is really a fierce general in front of the tent, just a pioneer general, he has such combat power, and there are also Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang and others who have been famous for a long time to be loyal to him, how can Lu Bu He De be so favored by God." ”

Cao Zhen said indignantly on the side: "How can my father grow up with other people's ambition and destroy his own prestige, although Lu Bu is strong, he also had the defeat of Dongjun back then, and his father is not a fierce general in front of his account." This Ding Xu is just a fraudulent surrender, taking advantage of the dispersion of our army's forces, rushing into the large array of the Chinese army, avoiding the real and the virtual, this is almost succeeded by him, and now he is deeply trapped in the army of ten thousand horses, what else can he do. ”

Cao Cao recalled that back then, Lu Bu took more than 100,000 soldiers and armor, and even broke the division under Yanzhou, and the reason why he failed was only because the military grain was burned by Cao's army, and the grain and grass were not continued, so he withdrew the army. Speaking of victory or defeat, strategically it may be Cao Cao who won, after all, he blocked Lu Bu's pursuit of victory, did not let him follow his will, and broke the myth that Lu Bu was invincible. But in terms of tactics, Cao Cao, known as the elite army of 200,000, was almost wiped out in this battle, and the generals were killed and wounded countless. If you want to win, Cao Cao is also difficult to accept calmly.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone exclaim: "General, look at the riverbank!" ”

Cao Cao's heart tightened, and hurriedly turned his eyes to the riverbank, only to see that in the originally calm and open river, there were hundreds of countless civilian boats, large or small, the big ones were merchant ships running goods, and the small ones were all civilian boats carrying passengers across the river, all of which were full of soldiers, and hundreds of ships were closely connected, like a huge net woven by ships, spread in the river, covering the entire Huai River waters, and swept from the upper reaches.

Cao Cao only has more than 20 warships, compared with the mighty Lu Bu fleet, it is like a lion confronting a wolf pack, but the number of wolves is too much, in front of this fleet of dozens of times his own, where is there the slightest chance of winning!

Cao Cao was cold, if he let these hundreds of ships land, it would be enough for tens of thousands of Lu Bu soldiers to cross the river, and the natural dangers on the river bank that he had relied on before would be even more unreliable. Immediately shouted: "Array, block the enemy, don't let Lu Bu cross the river!" ”

But at this time, the garrison troops on the riverbank were all attracted by Ding Xu's vanguard battalion, and they didn't expect Lu Bu's army to suddenly cross the river, and countless people asked in surprise: "Didn't you say that Lu Bu only had Ding Xu's rafts and boats?" Where did he get these many ships? ”

Dong Zhao beat his chest and said: "It was I who harmed the general, and fell into Lu Bu's suspicious plan, where did this Ding Xu come to deceive him, he is just a bait, a bait to attract the attention of my river defense army!" ”

Cao Cao was very anxious at this time, where could he still care about asking Dong Zhao, at this time Lu Bu's fleet had reached the middle of the river, and the vanguard ship had already been in close contact with Cao Jun's warships, although the warships had the advantage and shot countless soldiers on Lu Bu's merchant ships, but Lu Bu's fleet was too much, and the limited number of Cao Jun's warships took care of one or the other, and they were drowned by small boats like a torrent in an instant.

There are also countless soldiers who are not afraid of death, throwing rivet hooks and climbing up along the long rope, like a swarm of ants devouring elephants. At this time, the tens of thousands of crossbowmen who were supposed to be stationed on the river bank were all attracted by Ding Xu, and they had already left the position too far, and it was impossible to return to the same place in time to stop Lu Bu's fleet.

Cao Cao's military orders only made the tens of thousands of troops besieging Ding Xu even more chaotic, and they all wanted to return to their positions as soon as possible for a while, and they inevitably crowded each other and trampled to death countless times.

Ding Xu was in the center of the siege of Cao's army, and suddenly felt that the enemy's offensive had been greatly reduced, so he knew that the offensive and defensive momentum had been reversed, and immediately ordered the only remaining two hundred brave soldiers: "The prime minister has crossed the river, where is the pioneer battalion!" ”

"Go forward, there is no life or death!" The two hundred tiger bodies were shocked, and countless Cao troops were slashed around.

"Follow me straight into the general banner and capture Cao Cao alive!"

At this time, Cao's army was in turmoil, all the soldiers would be scattered, the soldiers would not see the generals, there was no clear goal at all, and they did not know where to kill, although the number was large, but they could not work together, and were killed all the way by the vanguard battalion of only two hundred.

Cao Cao saw that the battle situation was messy, there was no power to return to the sky, Lu Bu's army was about to land, it was unstoppable, if he hesitated here, it would inevitably be a rout, so he had to order the guards Mingjin to withdraw his troops and retreat to Shouchun to make a good plan.

Cao Cao's army had lost its sharpness, and when they heard the sound of gold, they retreated quickly, so that Ding Xu and others, who were chasing after him, could only look back and sigh.

The battlefield formed a strange picture, only more than 200 people with bare sticks, covered in blood, chasing tens of thousands of elite soldiers and running all the way.

There is nothing more absurd in the world than this.

Cao Cao ran all the way until a few miles away, and saw that there were no pursuers behind him, so he was relieved, and made people count the men and horses, and found that after this battle, tens of thousands of horses were lost, and the Lu Bu pioneer battalion really lived up to its reputation.

Cao Cao was defeated again, and was seized by Lu Bu on the riverbank, and couldn't help worrying, Lu Bu's army was known as 100,000, if there was no natural danger to rely on, how could he resist the offensive of 100,000 Lu Bu's elites, and couldn't help frowning for a while.

Suddenly, there seemed to be something missing in the crowd, and he asked anxiously, "Where is Lu Gou?" ”

Everyone didn't react, and they didn't know who Cao Cao was asking.

Dong Zhao said: "Our army is in great crisis, the general is in the battle array, and all the generals swear to the death, I'm afraid that no one will have the leisure to take care of him, and I'm afraid that he has died in the chaos." ”

Cao Cao was furious, this son was his last battle against Lu Bu, and he was counting on him to make Lu Bu retreat, but he disappeared without a trace at this time, how could he not be angry.

"Send people around quickly, to see people in life, and to see corpses in death."

"I will go after this little brute, and if I catch him, I will knock out his mouthful of teeth." Xu Chu went out of the battle and led dozens of soldiers to trace the way they came.

Cao Cao saw Xu Chu go out in person, and finally felt a little relieved in his heart, he knew that with Xu Chu's strength, even if he encountered the enemy, he was fully capable of returning safely.

At that moment, he ordered the army to retreat to Shouchun quickly, and he must not let Lu Bu chase him, otherwise outside this wilderness, fighting an encounter battle is by no means what Cao Jun is good at, and it is exactly what Lu Bu wants.

The army did not take a few steps forward, but just as a horse came to meet him, Cao Cao knew this person, it was Xiahou Jie, a distant relative of the family, this person was still by his side on the riverbank, how could he come from the front road at this time, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning, could it be that this person had already fled, and he came here in a panic?

Cao Cao was very strict in governing the army, and would never allow anyone in the army to escape, and he was about to attack immediately, and ordered the guards to take him down and punish him.

But he saw Xiahou Jie shouting in the middle of the run: "The general is not good, Shouchun has been broken by Zhang Liao, and our army has no way to retreat." ”

Cao Cao's face turned pale, and he hurriedly ordered the guards: "Take this person down, this person is bewitching the public, I will interrogate him personally." ”

More than a dozen guards surrounded Xiahou Jie who was rushing to Cao Cao and escorted him to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao retreated left and right, leaving only a few henchmen and advisers, and asked: "Bold Xiahou Jie, why are you spreading rumors in the army, do you know what crime you should be guilty of?" ”

Xun Yu said: "If you spread rumors in the army, you should be punished with capital punishment and raze the three clans." ”

Cao Cao's face sank and said: "Your three clans are also my three clans, I will not raze your three clans, but you will die." ”

Xia Houjie said in horror: "The little nephew's words are true, if there is half a lie, he will be punished by military law." ”

Cao Cao's face became more somber and said, "You can talk about it carefully." ”

It turned out that Xiahou Jie had retreated in his heart as early as when Ding Xu attacked the middle of the battle and was invincible, but he was afraid that Cao Cao's military law was strict, so he never recognized his six relatives, and he didn't dare to flee for a while.

At this time, he found that the dog that was left aside by everyone and no one paid attention to it was sneaky and fled out of the formation, he had this statement, naturally he would not stay here for a long time, even if he turned back to Cao Cao and asked, he would say that he was chasing the dog's whereabouts, Cao Cao has always attached importance to dogs, and will never blame him, maybe he will be rewarded for his merit in protecting the hostages.

Xia Houjie hurriedly chased the dog out of battle, but saw that the dog had gotten a war horse out of nowhere, and he disappeared as soon as he rode the war horse. Xiahoujie was in a hurry, how could he let the dog escape, hurriedly returned to the formation, and took his war horse, but saw that the killing in the formation was more intense, Ding Xu's meandering array was exerting its might, Xiahoujie didn't dare to stay for a long time, and hurriedly hit the horse out of the formation, chasing in the direction where the dog disappeared, and sneered in his mouth: "You can't beat Lu Bu, you can't beat you, this little cub?" ”

After all, Xiahou Jie has followed Cao Cao for many years, so he naturally knows some methods of tracing and pursuit, and the dog is just a child, where do he know the trick of hiding his whereabouts. Therefore, although Xiahou Jie couldn't catch up with the dog for a while, he also knew that he must be going all the way to Shouchun.

Xia Houjie beat the horse and galloped, secretly thinking that he would never let the dog escape from his grasp, thinking that he must be Hui Shouchun to rescue the old beggar who was inseparable from him, and he was sure that Xia Houjie would not let him succeed.

All the way to Shouchun City, I saw that the gate of Shouchun was closed, but the city head fluttered not Cao Cao's banner, but Lu Bu's army and the state military flag, the city head soldier armor was standing, a general was calm and capable, and was talking to the dog riding alone under the city.

I only heard the dog say: "General, please let me into the city, I have important things not to delay." ”

The general of the city head said: "The little prince will retreat for the time being, Shouchun is under martial law, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave." ”

Gou'er said: "The general is Prime Minister Lu Bu's subordinate? ”

The general of the city said: "I am Zhang Liao. ”

Zhang Liao! Xiahou Jie couldn't help but be shocked, Lu Bu's army was still trapped on the north bank of the Huai River, how could Zhang Liao appear in the rear of the army and secretly take the city?

Xia Houjie's doubts were asked by the dog: "Isn't the general able to fly to the sky and escape the earth, otherwise how can he jump to a hundred miles away." ”

Zhang Liao said lightly: "When you meet the mountains and open the mountains, you can build bridges when you meet the water, all of which are the strengths of my generation, and the Huai River is not enough." ”

The dog pondered for a long time, and seemed to have finally made up his mind, and raised his head and asked, "Does General Zhang still recognize me?" ”

Zhang Liao's eyesight is extraordinary, he has long felt that this child is very familiar, but he can't remember where he has seen it for a while, and asked suspiciously: "Who are you?" ”

The dog said: "The general forgot? You and I once had a relationship with Juyeze, my name is Lu Gou, and I am the son of Prime Minister Lu Bu. ”

Zhang Liao's heart jumped, and his previous doubts finally became clear, yes, this person was kidnapped by Cao Ren, making it impossible for his army to pursue Cao Cao's child, and now when they meet again, they can't recognize it for a while.

Hurriedly asked, "Aren't you in Cao Cao's army?" ”

The dog said: "Please let me into the city, how about telling me in detail?" ”

Seeing that there was no army approaching, Zhang Liao ordered the defenders to lower the drawbridge, open the city gate, and welcome the dogs into the city.

Xia Houjie saw that the dog was about to enter the city, and this time it was like a drop of water flowing into the sea, where could he find its traces again, and shouted eagerly: "Dog!" ”

When the dog heard the sound, he saw that a sharp arrow with the momentum of wind and thunder had arrived in front of him, he had never practiced martial arts, how could he avoid this thunderous blow, and in the exclamation of the city, he turned over and fell off the horse.

Xiahou Jie saw that the blow was hit, and he didn't stay at the moment, he rode his horse and galloped away, he had to inform Cao Cao of this amazing news as soon as possible, otherwise it would be not only himself, tens of thousands of soldiers, even Cao Cao, would not escape the doom of defeat and death.

Let's say that Lu Bu took advantage of Ding Xu's big battle, which caused Cao Cao to raise troops to encircle and suppress, and when the river air defense was weak, he immediately ordered the generals to cross the river at full speed by taking all kinds of boats he mobilized from various counties and counties, and when Cao Cao had no time to take care of him, otherwise when Cao Cao came back to his senses, I don't know how many casualties he would have to add.

In order to mobilize these ships, Lu Bu took a lot of effort, and he could transport the small boats one by one with carts and horses, but these merchant ships had to go around countless rivers, so Lu Bu set a ten-day rest strategy in Xia Cai, just to wait for these cargo ships to arrive in time.

Cao Cao retreated without a fight, but it was not expected by Lu Bu, he didn't expect Ding Xu's vanguard battalion to be so tenacious, with only a few thousand soldiers, entangled and pinned down Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops, creating a golden opportunity for Lu Bu to cross the river, Lu Bu originally also ordered all the boats to be nailed together, so that the boats were one after another, and they could walk on it calmly, in case the bow and arrow attack on the river bank, the soldiers only had nowhere to dodge in the projectile land. But I didn't expect that these preparations were all in vain, and there was no use at all.

The army calmly climbed the river bank and saw that Cao Cao's army had retreated, and only Ding Xu took the remaining two hundred pioneer battalion warriors to clean up the battle.

Ding Xu greeted Lu Bu and said: "The last general failed to catch up with Cao Cao, they have cavalry to protect the formation, and we have no horses, so it is difficult to catch up at all." ”

Lu Bu was full of emotion, there were 8,000 warriors here, more than 3,000 people who pretended to fall into the river to escape, and the remaining 5,000 people, only more than 200 people were left in front of him, patted Ding Xu on the shoulder, and said: "The spirit of the righteous father in the sky will be proud of you, you have done a good job in today's battle, there is no need to blame yourself." ”
