Chapter 289: Cao Cao's multi-way ambush
Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "Prime Minister, Ma Chao is the son of Ma Teng, and he will never surrender to the imperial court." The prime minister should try to get rid of him so that he does not become a great trouble in the future. ”
"Hmm."
Cao Cao also knew this, and said: "When the battle comes, order the Shenji Battalion to blow up Ma Chao!" ”
"Yes."
Guo Jia sent someone to tell the Shenji Battalion.
(Note: The Shenji Battalion was Cao Cao's newly formed elite that used small thunderbolts to throw canisters filled with wine and oil to cause an explosion.) Its power is no less than that of the hand bullets of later generations. )
After Ma Chao won, he continued to challenge Cao Cao.
Cao Cao had no generals to send, and he was even a little embarrassed.
"General Yuan, Po Cao should be at this time." Ma Teng reminded Yuan Xi.
"Okay."
Yuan Xi immediately ordered the Titan Python to rush towards the military array opposite. Because he knew that Cao Cao might have a zha bomb made of liquor, he had already instructed the giant python. If you encounter it, take shelter in time and do not put yourself in danger.
Because there is no river here, it is ignited by fire, and can only be burned alive.
The giant python has a spirit, and knowing Yuan Xi's worries, he will not be stupid and take risks. After it left the military formation, it moved forward slowly and leisurely, not in a hurry at all. The head was even more drooping, as if he had no intention of fighting.
The insights of both sides stared at him stunned.
It wasn't until he crawled to a distance of three hundred steps from Cao Cao's army that he suddenly raised his head and rushed towards the opposite side. The speed of rushing is dozens of times that of just now. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Cao Cao.
Boom, boom, boom
This situation was too sudden, and in less than three breaths, the giant python rushed to Cao Cao from the middle of the battlefield, and no one could react. The Thunderbolt of the Shenji Battalion, which was originally on both sides of the military formation, did not have time to release the ZHA shells. The giant python broke into the military formation, and then swung its body wildly, breaking up Cao Cao's military formation. It's a pity that it didn't know Cao Cao and didn't kill Cao Cao.
The continuous roar made Cao's army chaotic.
Ma Teng, Han Sui, Ma Chao, and others who were watching from the rear all widened their eyes.
"General Yuan, you giant python is really a divine object." Han Sui said happily: "With it, why worry about the thief not being destroyed?" ”
"It's just a matter of luck." Yuan Xi replied.
"How lucky is this? It is clear that it has absolute strength. As soon as the giant python came out, no one was invincible. I expect Cao Cao to retire soon. We should be ready to hunt down. General Yuan, what do you think? ”
"General Han is happy too early, isn't he?" Yuan Xi was a little speechless. The battle has just begun, and I think about chasing and killing. If Cao Cao really didn't fight like that, why did he drive thousands of miles to Chang'an, invite the Xiliang army to help in the battle, and directly lead the army into the Central Plains.
"Hahaha." Han Sui said with a smile: "The general will wait and see, look at my Xiliang army, kill the Cao thief." ”
"Brother Yi, I think I can join the army." Han Sui said to Ma Teng.
"Okay."
Ma Teng also saw the opportunity, drew his sword and shouted: "Eliminate traitors and thieves, kill!" ”
"Kill." 100,000 Xiliang iron horsemen swooped up and rushed towards the opposite military formation.
"Fly to the sky, I'm going to look down on the battlefield." Yuan Xi signaled the four inconsistencies.
Whew
The four do not fly high in the sky. Yuan Xi saw Cao Cao's Daxu and was moving to the east. The cavalry in the army formation also gathered towards the east, wondering in their hearts: "Could it be that Cao Cao is really going to escape?" ”
"Kill."
Boom, boom, boom
Soldiers from both sides quickly engaged.
The Shenji Battalion, which had been prepared for a long time, threw out countless canisters and smashed into the Xiliang army formation. The moment it hits the ground, it explodes. Due to the large number of them, they caused heavy casualties to the Xiliang army.
Following the three rounds of bombing, many strong ballistae appeared, shooting at the Xiliang army.
Whoosh
The continuous shooting of the gun is huge.
The shield of the Xiliang Army is also difficult to resist.
In Cao Cao's military array, there are still many hook and sickle guns, which have been prepared, combined with shield soldiers, and ambushed in the place where the Xiliang army must pass. After Yuan Xi saw it, he wanted to remind Ma Teng, but it was too late. The Xiliang army had already rushed in that direction.
Puff puff
As soon as they entered the battle, the hook and sickle team appeared, and they hid behind the shield soldiers to intercept the Xiliang army. Break the horse's leg with a hook and sickle. If a horse loses legs, even one less, it will be difficult to run.
The appearance of the hook and sickle also caused heavy losses to the Xiliang army.
"This Cao Mengde."
Yuan Xi knew that he couldn't underestimate him.
"General Ma Teng, there are many hook and sickle guns in the array, which will cause heavy casualties to our army, please follow the giant python. Wherever it goes, Xiliangjun will go. Where he has walked, if you charge and kill, there will be no hook and sickle. Yuan Xi flew to the top of Ma Teng's head.
"Thank you, General, for reminding me."
Ma Teng said suddenly.
Following the python will not only avoid being attacked and restrained by the hook and sickle, but will also be able to strike at the enemy more effectively. Ma Teng secretly said that Yuan Xi had a good mind, and he could still come up with such a good move when he was about to fight.
"Brethren, follow me." Marten shouted.
Ma Chao and Pang De were not far from Ma Teng, and they each led the iron cavalry to charge and kill.
Although the Xiliang army suffered a small setback, it quickly stabilized its position, and under the leadership of Ma Teng, Han Sui, Pang De, and Ma Chao, it continued to rush and kill. The iron rider launched a momentum and gradually became a crushing situation. Cao Jun's Shenji Battalion was inconvenient to move, and in order to prevent being robbed by Ma Teng, it retreated sharply to the north and east.
"That's not right."
Yuan Xi looked at the sky for a while, and suddenly found that the Cao army on the battlefield was not enough, not even 50,000.
Didn't Cao Cao bring an army of 100,000? Where did the other 50,000 go?
"Cao's army is defeated, chase after it."
"Hunt down the Cao thief!"
"Capture Cao Cao alive."
Cao Cao's Daxu moved to the southeast, and the soldiers of Cao's army all chased after him.
Yuan Xi was not sure whether Cao Cao was really defeated or faked, but the number of Cao's soldiers was wrong, which was very suspicious. He didn't dare to hesitantly control the four disagreements, and flew to the southeast first to investigate the situation.
When he flew five miles away, he saw tens of thousands of Cao troops in ambush in a forest.
On the east and west sides of the woods, there are also Cao Cao's military formations.
What surprised Yuan Xi the most was that the number of these three ambushes was less than 50,000. In other words, Cao Cao also arranged an ambush somewhere on the battlefield, but he didn't find it.
If the Xiliang army runs here and encounters an ambush, the consequences can be imagined?
"Don't let them come!"
Yuan Xi immediately returned and intercepted Ma Teng and Han Sui: "Two generals, don't go any further, there are ambushes ahead!" ”
"General Yuan, how do you know that there are ambushes? I think Cao Cao is really defeated. If you don't chase and kill at this time, when will you wait? Han Sui was reluctant to let go of this opportunity.
"I've just been there, how can I not know? You listen to me, accept it when you see it, and return to Chang'an quickly. His ambush is not limited to this, and I fear that we are already surrounded, and we must not take any more risks. Yuan Xi shouted eagerly.
"Father."
Ma Chao wanted to continue to catch up, but Yuan Xi's words made him hesitate.
