When Cao Cao saw the state of the soldiers, he was very worried.

In peacetime, he would have given the order to rest, at least until the soldiers were in better shape. But at this time of life and death, racing against time, he can only march hard.

"Let's go."

With Cao Cao's order, more than 100,000 troops marched to the north.

Da Da...

As soon as they walked a short distance, Bai Qi and Pei Yuanqing's cavalry appeared in their sight again. There were 10,000 horsemen, and they attacked from the east and west to kill the position of the front army. The front army was mostly shield soldiers and pikemen, with a small number of strong crossbows.

Attacked by 10,000 iron horsemen, he was slow to react, his resistance was insufficient, and he was overwhelmed by the ranks.

"Kill..." Pei Yuanqing roared angrily.

Bang bang bang ...

His Eight Tombs Plum Blossom Bright Silver Hammer Dance was impenetrable, and all the enemy soldiers around him were stoned to death.

"General Bai, you kill to the south, and I will kill to the north." Pei Yuanqing shouted.

"Okay."

Bai Qi echoed, led the five thousand cavalry behind him, and changed the direction of the attack.

The north and south sides were the places where the enemy was most numerous, and they had already been attacked by cavalry, and the formation was disorganized.

In order to expand the results of the battle, Bai Qi and Pei Yuanqing extended to the north and south, so that the Cao army, which had just suffered heavy losses, was slaughtered again. That's right, it's a massacre! They have little time to react and little ability to resist.

A quarter of an hour later...

Cao Hong gathered an army of 50,000 and outflanked it in two directions, east and west.

Their speed was very fast, and they marched quickly, and they were about to encircle Bai Qi and Pei Yuanqing's troops.

Bai Qi had been paying attention to the periphery of the battlefield, and when he saw Cao Hong's army coming over, he quickly turned around and shouted: "Brothers, retreat to the west, retreat quickly!" ”

Da Da Da Da ....

The speed of the cavalry has always been very fast.

The surrounding enemy troops were frightened and did not dare to intercept them at all.

Bai Qi rushed to the west smoothly.

"Withdraw!" After Pei Yuanqing saw it, he also rushed to meet. Evacuate with Bai Qi.

Seeing that Cao Hong's troops were about to form an encirclement, they fell short because they were not fast enough.

"Let them run again..."

Syllable!

Cao Hong stomped his feet angrily, and even the saber in his hand smashed to the ground: "Chase me!" ”

He gave the order.

An army of 50,000 ran toward the west.

.............

Cao Hong returned to the Chinese army and reported to Cao Cao.

"How can it be!" After Cao Cao heard this, he was also extremely angry.

He couldn't help but think of his several cavalry, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Longxiang Battalion, the Tiger Ben Battalion, and the Volunteer Army. Now it's all gone. But if there is a cavalry here, it is not allowed to be presumptuous!

A mere 10,000 light horsemen turned out to be a fatal calamity for him.

"The herald ordered to pursue west...."

"No."

The army moved on.

Cao Cao returned to the car.

Sima Yi rode a horse and followed.

"Zhongda, what are you thinking?" Seeing that Sima Yi was a little distracted, Cao Cao asked.

"King Wei. Chen is thinking that Bai Qi is really a general. With a mere 10,000 light cavalry, he was able to inflict heavy losses on our army repeatedly. Sima Yi said.

"yes..."

Cao Cao was deeply touched by this.

"It's a pity that there are no cavalry in our army. But if there are 5,000 cavalry, they will not be bullied by him like this. Zhongda, you have to send someone to keep an eye on the direction of Longshan, don't let Qin Qiong break through. ”

"King Wei rest assured. With General Xu Huang personally guarding it, Qin Qiong will definitely not be able to come out. ”

"Hmm."

...........

Cao Cao's army pursued westward for a day.

With the speed of his infantry, of course, he could not catch up.

During this period, there were three attacks, each of which was a large-scale operation. As a result, Cao Cao's troops suffered heavy casualties. According to Bai Qi and Pei Yuanqing's estimates, it should be no less than 20,000 enemies!

Cao Cao and Sima Yi also realized.

It's not going to go on like this.

The speed of the infantry can never be compared with that of the cavalry.

Sima Yi offered a plan, leaving some troops to garrison, occupy the commanding heights, and lay ambush troops. When you come back, you can ambush Bai Qi. Cao Cao took Sima Yi's advice.

But.

It was at this time.

Cao Cao received two important military information!

The first military intelligence was sent by Xu Huang. said that Zhang Liao, who was stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass, knew that Qin Qiong was besieged, so he personally led 70,000 elites and rushed to help. Now we are almost in Longshan.

The second military intelligence was detected by scouts. Two hundred miles to the west, a large number of iron horsemen and chariots were found.

Cao Cao was shocked!

Sima Yi also said: "It must be that Lu Bu knows about the situation here and sends troops to help." ”

"It's already so tricky since then. If there are tens of thousands of cavalry, what should we do? Cao Cao already had the intention of retreating. It's just that Xu Huang's battle there is not over yet, which makes him very embarrassed. If you withdraw now, isn't it irresponsible to Xu Huang.

"King Wei, King Wei..." Cao Hong ran and said, "The white cavalry has already gone to the north. ”

"North?"

Cao Cao opened the map and said, "What is he going to do in the north?" ”

Sima Yi looked startled, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Bai Qi is really an amazing general, alas.... ”

"Zhongda, what do you mean by that?" Cao Cao asked.

Sima Yi said: "Bai Qi may already know that tens of thousands of iron horses are coming, and he no longer needs to be entangled with the King of Wei. It was to retreat to the north, first encircle and suppress General Cao Ren, and then hold Xiaopingjin. In this way, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of King Wei really can't go back to Hebei. ”

"This..."

Cao Cao suddenly realized: "You are right! ”

For him, the best strategy now is to capture Xiaopingjin and return to Hebei. This is the only way out of danger. If the delay is not decided, when tens of thousands of iron horsemen from the west surround him, he will not be able to leave if he wants to.

Cao Cao said anxiously: "Quickly send the order to the north!" ”

"No."

Cao Hong went to arrange.

Sima Yi held back his mouth and couldn't help sighing in his heart: "Hundreds of thousands of troops can't have a foothold. It's a ridiculous joke. If you can't conquer Xiaopingjin, the trouble will really be big. ”

....................

Two days later.

Xiang Yu and Jia Xu's 40,000 iron cavalry and 10,000 chariots finally caught up with Cao Cao's army.

Cao Cao was forced to stop and fight.

He now has a reflexive fear of cavalry. For fear of being raided.

Think of the 10,000 cavalry of Bai Qi, every time they raid, they have to die thousands of people. If he is raided by Xiang Yu's tens of thousands of iron horses and chariots, he will not have to die tens of thousands?

Knock knock...

On the battlefield, the two armies confronted each other, and the drums of war were noisy.

Xiang Yu looked at Cao Cao's military array opposite, and said to Jia Xu on the side: "Mr. Wenhe, the lord is really worried. Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops, most of whom were new recruits, were very weak in combat effectiveness. How can it compare with our iron horses and chariots? I am confident that the battle will be determined! Since you are a military advisor, give the order, and I will not disappoint you. ”

"General Xiang is calm for a while. Time is in our favor, not Cao Cao. It doesn't hurt us to wait. Jia Xu said.

"What are you waiting for?"

Jia Xu said: "Wait for the war in Qin Qiong's place to end." If Qin Qiong and Zhang Liao join forces, they defeat Xu Huang. Their army of hundreds of thousands gathered around. Think about it, can Cao Cao still run? Let's hold Cao Cao back first.... ”
