Chapter 183: Breaking Cao Jun and Zhang Liao's Might
Tens of thousands of cavalry charged against the rain of arrows, if it seemed to be useless in the past, but it was just a vain death, even if they ran under the city wall, there was no way to take the tall city wall, there was no siege equipment to help, although there were many cavalry, what was the use.
But the cavalry had long been strictly trained, and although they knew that it was useless, the general's orders could not be violated, and they all rushed forward, rushing towards the two lonely figures in the rain of arrows
Tens of thousands of cavalry charged against the rain of arrows, if it seemed to be useless in the past, but it was just a vain death, even if they ran under the city wall, there was no way to take the tall city wall, there was no siege equipment to help, although there were many cavalry, what was the use.
But the cavalry had already undergone strict training, and although they knew that it was useless, the general's order could not be disobeyed, and they all rushed forward, rushing towards the two lonely figures in the rain of arrows.
In the rain of arrows, Ruyi supported the unconscious Yan Chao with difficulty, looking at the thousands of troops and horses rushing like a tide in front of him, among which countless battle flags fluttered in the wind, the current general is Wei Yue, who often walks in the Xiangfu and has been familiar with Ruyi since childhood.
Ruyi knew that Wei Yue often accompanied Lu Bu and was one of his most trusted generals, and having him here meant that his father was not far away, and his eyes couldn't help but shine with tears, and he whispered to Yan Chao, who was unconscious next to him: "Brother, look, it's my father's army who came to save us." ”
After speaking, he suddenly felt that his body was weak, and his vision gradually blurred, and he fell in the rain of arrows with Yan Chao.
Wei Yue could already see Ruyi's face from afar, and was rushing to her to help, when he suddenly saw her suddenly fall into the rain of arrows, thinking that Ruyi was injured by the rain of arrows, his eyes were about to split, and he called on the generals to say: "Everyone is suppressed by salvo, and the two people in front of you are rescued quickly." ”
At this time, the army has rushed to Dingtao City within a hundred steps, has reached the range of bows and arrows, for a time ten thousand arrows fired together, the Cao army at the head of the city formed a suppression, so that the Cao army did not dare to show up for a moment, the city arrow rain finally scarred a lot, only a few arrows fell, but the archers were also shot into hedgehogs by random arrows.
Wei Yue galloped to Ruyi, and saw that the two were really Ruyi and Yan Chao, Ruyi didn't seem to have any external injuries, his whole body was soaked with blood, but there was no bleeding from the wound, Yan Chao was much more serious, several arrow wounds on his body were particularly eye-catching, and the blood stains on his body were mixed, obviously there were falls after the injury.
Wei Yue didn't have time to check the injuries of the two, so he hurriedly picked up Ruyi and placed it on his horse, and ordered the left and right soldiers to rescue Yan Chao on the horse, and shouted: "Retreat!" ”
Under the suppression of bows and arrows, Wei Yue led the army to rescue Ruyi and Yan Chao and retreated, and when Xu Chu breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to fight back, he found that the tens of thousands of cavalry under the city had already withdrawn from the range of archers.
The shock in Xu Chu's eyes can not be described in words, Lu Bu's cavalry comes and goes like the wind, skillfully cooperated, the division of labor is clear, it is really a rare elite division, no wonder Lu Bu can dominate the world, only the wolf cavalry battalion of this forward is so powerful, but there is also a well-known heavy cavalry, the camp of the world's mighty world, although he followed Cao Cao to fight with Lu Bu many times, but every time he saw his soldiers and horses in battle, he couldn't help but be sincerely envious.
Wei Yue returned as rescued, and urgently recruited military doctors to come to treat her and the two of them.
After a busy inspection, the military doctor said: "The young lady has no external injuries on her body, only a fracture of her lower leg, and she is in good condition, and she only needs to recuperate for a few days to get better." It's just that the arrow wound on the little general's body has already injured his internal organs, and he has lost too much blood, so I'm afraid it's already more than lucky. ”
Wei Yue scolded: "I'm not blind, of course I know that Yan Chao's injuries are serious, but Miss is also unconscious, how can it only be external injuries, you quickly diagnose and treat them, if one of them has an accident, you will not see the sun tomorrow." ”
The military doctor was embarrassed: "The little general has lost too much blood, I have bandaged him to stop the bleeding, whether he can recover or not, it depends on the will of God, but the young lady is fine, and now the coma is just caused by excessive fatigue for several days, and he will be able to recover as long as he rests." The general wants her to wake up at this time, but she is going against the sky, which is harmful to the young lady's body, so please be cautious. ”
Wei Yue said angrily: "The soldiers and horses of the prince are close to the left, and they will arrive from time to time, is it possible for the prince to see the appearance of the young lady?" What will happen to the prince's anger then, you can think for yourself. ”
The military doctor thought that Lu Bu had eaten gunpowder all the way, and urged the army to go down dozens of cities in a row, and the places they passed were all ruins, changing the benevolent style of the past, and the fierceness of killing made all the soldiers and generals look sideways, and the military doctor couldn't help but shudder, and cringed and said: "But..."
Wei Yue interrupted him and said: "Don't do it, wake up the young lady first, the prince will only feel at ease when he sees that the young lady is fine, otherwise you and I will not be able to escape." ”
The military doctor only dared not act without permission, wishful thinking was not a big deal, if he rashly rescued, maybe he would leave a future trouble, he did not dare to take this risk, this General Wei did not understand medical skills, indiscriminate command, if there was something he could pat his ass, but he could not escape the blame, which is more important should be his own discretion, do not dare to act recklessly.
At this time, he gradually heard the sound of the approaching army, and the soldiers outside the account rushed in and said: "The prime minister has personally led the heavy cavalry of the guards to the camp, please go to see the driver quickly." ”
Wei Yue sighed and said helplessly to the military doctor: "Let's go, you can explain to the prince yourself." ”
Let's say that Cao Cao got an urgent report from Xu Chu and learned that Lu Bu's army of more than 100,000 was attacking the south gate of Dingtao City, and his anger was uncontrollable, and he said to everyone angrily: "I only got the military information a few days ago, and Lu Bu's army is still in Yuzhou, why did they suddenly arrive in Yanzhou, did they come from the clouds?" What is Yu Ban doing to eat, Nuoda's Yuzhou soldiers will have tens of thousands of people, and they will be broken by Lu Bu for half a month, this can't even stop the enemy for a moment, and I will entrust him with a heavy task in vain, what use do I want him? ”
Xun You was also speechless, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Lu Bu must have learned that he gave birth to a son in the city, so he came all the way to the horse, it can be seen that this son must be extremely precious in his heart, he came all the way through the mountains and rivers, and rushed for days, he must have been sleepy and tired, although there are 100,000 people, but there is no need to worry, our army is strong and strong to wait for work, why not be afraid of his fatigue from afar." ”
Cao Cao calmed his anger a little, and ordered left and right: "Quickly summon Xiahoudun to lead the troops into the city to prevent Lu Bu from attacking the city overnight." ”
He also said to Cao Xiu: "Wen Lie immediately sent reinforcements to Xu Chu, and led 10,000 guards to help him defend the city immediately, and he must not attack easily." ”
After Cao Xiu left, Cao Cao still sat still, and asked left and right: "Lu Bu's army suddenly arrived here, interrupting our army's previous plan, how should we deal with it now, do you have any countermeasures?" ”
Strategist Dong Zhao said: "Lu Bu is powerful, with a great victory of the division Pegasus, although tired, but the sharp spirit is difficult to be sharp, our army must not fight with it, this Dingtao City is facing the enemy on three sides, it is by no means a place to fight, it is better to retreat to Dongjun as soon as possible, in order to ensure the stability of the rear, the coming day is long, why worry about not having another day to attack." ”
Cao Cao finally transferred hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and was about to show his strength and recover the lost territory of Yanzhou, how could he leave without a fight, if the world knew about it, he only heard the name of Lu Bu and fled in a hurry, wouldn't it be ridiculed by the world, even if the world's opinion is not worrying, but his military spirit will be weakened, and then want to gather, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult. Cao Cao couldn't help but say angrily: "The army has not yet fought, how can it flee without a fight, how can you rule the world with such cowardice." Besides, the strength of our army and his Lu Bu are also between them, and the outcome is not yet known, you are messing with our army's heart. ”
Dong Zhao bowed to the ground and admonished: "The general also knows that our army has Lu Bu's metropolitan governor Gao Shun in the north of the Yellow River, and Zhang Liao in the west. ”
Cao Cao was furious and said coldly: "This person messed with our army's heart, dragged him down and beheaded him, and disciplined the army." ”
The soldiers on the left and right rushed forward and escorted Dong Zhao away. Xun Yu hurriedly stepped forward to stop and persuade: "Ming Gong, it is a taboo to be a general in battle, and now that Lu Bu is leading the army, it is the time to employ people, and you must not cut off your arms." Moreover, Dong Zhao's words are not unreasonable, he is also loyal, and the general thinks twice. ”
Xun You and other ministers and generals also knelt down to dissuade them, how could Cao Cao want to use this to establish his authority, where could he still listen to it, and said coldly: "Today I will have a life and death with him Lu Bu to avenge the past revenge, you don't need to say much, and if there is a pleager, it will end up with him." ”
The first soldier coerced Dong Zhao to go outside the main hall, Dong Zhao suddenly smiled strangely: "In vain, I have eyes and no beads, thinking that I can follow the master, but I am just a fool with great ambition and talent, and I have a false reputation, since I can't escape death today, I ask the general to gouge out my eyes, I want to see with my own eyes how you are ruined in this Dingtao City, and bury your bones in the wilderness." ”
Cao Cao's expression was cold, unmoved, and he only said coldly: "Just as you wish." ”
The first soldier escorted Dong Zhao out of the hall, and from time to time a miserable cry came from outside the hall and stopped abruptly, making the Cao Cao soldiers above the hall tremble.
From time to time, the soldiers stepped forward, and the two of them each carried a wooden plate and entered, one plate of Sheng Dong Zhao's head, and the other plate of Sheng Dong Zhao's eyes, the flesh and blood were blurred, and it was shocking for no reason.
Cao Cao waved the soldiers to retreat, and said: "Dong Zhao deserves death for disturbing our army's heart, I remember that I have always been attentive, and I will personally raise his family." ”
The generals were inexplicably frightened in their hearts, and they bowed together: "The general is benevolent and righteous." ”
Cao Cao said again: "You have a clever plan to defeat Lu Bu. ”
Xun You said: "Lu Bu's army is strong, and his combat power is even stronger, Ming Gong can't fight him head-on, Bingjiayun: go to the army to fight, go to the army to attack the heart, Lu Bu is thousands of miles away, he will come for the heir, since he has a stumbling block, it is his biggest weakness, we should use it, and we can't waste Lu Bu's kindness." ”
Cao Cao's face was pale, and he said, "Then what can you do?" ”
Xun You said: "Why don't the general capture his heir, take him as a hostage, and blackmail him to withdraw from Dingtao." If Lu Bu obeys, it means that this son is highly valued by Lu Bu, if he does not obey, he can also cut his son in public to sacrifice the flag, mess with his mind, and raise the heart of our army, which should kill two birds with one stone. ”
Cao Cao's face was overjoyed, Xun You's plan was his mind, Lu Bu killed his eldest son, this hatred is too much to write, if he can behead his heirs in front of the two armies, he can not only fight the arrogance of the enemy, but also avenge the loss of his son, and said: "Very good, this plan is exactly what I want." ”
was about to give orders, but saw two people rushing into outside the hall, it was the commander of the camp in the western suburbs of Dingtao, Xiahoudun and the deputy general Cao Hong, at this time, Xiahoudun looked panicked, as soon as he entered the hall, he knelt down in panic, and said sadly: "Brother, I fell for the trick of the thief Zhang Liao, and our army was defeated." ”
Cao Cao sat on the ground in shock, the 100,000 troops in the western suburbs were impregnable, how could they be easily broken, the 100,000 army was already the only remaining army he could use, and this battle was already the bottom of the kettle.
Xun Yu hurriedly asked: "What is the general's situation, please tell me in detail." ”
Xiahou said angrily: "I heard the sound of killing in the city, knowing that there must be changes in the city, so I wanted to lead the army to the city for reinforcements, who knew that the thief Zhang Liao took advantage of the night to sneak attack our army's camp, and burned my camp with fire. ”
Xun You asked again: "How many enemy troops are there?" ”
Xiahou said with a look of surprise on his face: "At that time, the situation was urgent, the enemy army was preventing fire from all directions, and our army was attacked everywhere, so I think the number of people should be more than 50,000. ”
Xun Yu said coldly: "Chen Liuzhang Liao only has 20,000 defenders, even if you add the 10,000 defenders of Shangqiu Yanliang, it is only 30,000 horses, but the general said that he was attacked by 50,000 enemy troops, how convincing is this." ”
Xiahoudun's face flushed for a while, and he said angrily: "Sir, don't you suspect that I lied about the military situation, Zilian saw the situation with his own eyes at that time, you can ask him." ”
Cao Hong nodded and said: "What General Xiahou said is true, at that time, Zhang Liao's troops besieged from three sides, and there were more than 10,000 people everywhere, a total of 40,000 or 50,000. ”
Xun Yu said: "This is strange, can Zhang Liao still conjure up an army of 20,000 out of thin air." ”
Cao Cao slapped the table and said sharply: "Enough, no matter whether Zhang Liao's army is 30,000 or 50,000, you will be defeated after all, I only ask how many available soldiers are left in our army?" ”
Xiahoudun hung his head and said: "We waited to collect the remnants of the army, and after counting, we found that there were still more than 50,000 people in our army. ”
Cao Cao secretly dripped blood in his heart, 50,000 people! The 100,000 elites he transferred by himself lost half of them overnight, and this has not yet competed with Lu Bu's elites. At present, it is determined that there are more than 100,000 troops led by Lu Bu at the south gate of Tao, and 350,000 troops from Zhang Liao at the west gate, and the remaining elite plus the defenders in the city are only 70,000, how can they be Lu Bu's opponents.
The previous ambition couldn't help but collapse, thinking of Dong Zhao's dying words, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh and said: "I regret that I shouldn't have killed Dong Zhao, he finally had the foresight." ”
Xiahoudun and Cao Hong knelt down to ask for guilt, Cao Cao shook his head helplessly and said: "That's it, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, our army has repeatedly fought against Lu Bu, and it is not all your fault, get up." Now that our army is surrounded, what are your best strategies to retreat from the enemy? ”
Xun You said: "General Xiahou's defeat has just happened, Zhang Liao must not have time to communicate with Lu Bu, while the enemy army has not yet been united, Ming Gong should withdraw as soon as possible." ”
Cao Cao didn't make a sound when he heard this, walked out of the portal alone, looked at the dark night sky, the stars and the moon were all covered by black clouds, without any brilliance, recalling that the foundation of his business for half his life had reached the point of being full of holes, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "God is so unfair, since I gave birth to Cao Cao, why is there a hero like Lu Bu left!" ”
Suddenly, he put his head in his hands and cried out in pain: "Ah, take the sword and cut me off." ”
Xun Yu hurriedly went to Cao Cao's side to support him, and shouted to the left and right: "The general's head disease has recurred, quickly order the guards of each gate to guard the city gate, and the rest of the people will immediately escort the general back to Dongjun for treatment." ”
In this way, Cao Cao only entered Taocheng for one day, and under the coercion of Lu Bu's two-way army, he could only retreat in panic and retreat to Dongjun in a hurry.
