Chapter 575: Destroying Cao (33)

Bell...

It was the first time for Xu Chu to fight an enemy with a chaotic blade, and he was not familiar with the tricks of the chaotic blade.

As soon as the battle began, they fell to the upper hand.

In the face of Chaotian Bore's strange moves, he dodged again and again, looking a little embarrassed.

"Tiger Hou."

Cao Cao, who was watching the battle from behind, shouted anxiously: "Tiger Hou beware..." ”

Clang! Clang!

Xu Chu gritted his teeth and slashed out several knives in a row, each knife faster than the other, and gradually stabilized the situation. Seeing that Wu Tianci's speed was also increasing, Xu Chu pretended to be defeated and retreated, and resorted to a drag-knife strategy.

Clang!

Wu Tianci couldn't dodge it and almost got hit. Fortunately, his reaction speed was extremely fast, blocking Xu Chu's sharp blow.

"Good fellow, it's a bit capable..."

Wu Tianci laughed and responded more calmly.

Woo woo...

At this moment, Cao Cao ordered Mingjin.

Xu Chu glanced back: "What's the matter with King Wei?" ”

"It's getting late today, and we'll fight again tomorrow." Cao Cao shouted.

"Wu Tianci, King Wei summoned me back, let's fight again tomorrow." Xu Chu turned his horse's head and ran back.

"Hey!"

Wu Tianci shouted: "It's only been a dozen moves, don't you dare to fight?" Xu Chu, hurry back and fight. You're going to be a shrunken turtle! ”

"Phew!"

Xu Chu listened to Wu Tianci's abuse and couldn't help but want to go back. But Cao Ren had already walked over and said, "General Xu doesn't have to pay attention to him. Your duty is to protect the King of Wei, so why bother with it? ”

"Hmph..."

Xu Chu was very unwilling to return to Cao Cao's side.

Cao Cao said with a dark face: "Wu Tianci is deliberately provoking you, can't you see it?" ”

"The last general sees it. But the last general just disobeyed him... ”

Xu Chu stared at Wu Tianci in front of him. If Cao Cao didn't agree, he really wanted to rush out again and fight Wu Tianci for three hundred rounds.

Cao Cao said: "From now on, without my order, you are not allowed to fight!" ”

Xu Chu: ".... ”

Cao Ren ran back, hugged his fists at Cao Cao and said, "King Wei, now that our army has an absolute advantage, it is better to organize 100,000 troops and attack Baiqi." The last general is confident that he will defeat the light cavalry of Bai Qi. ”

"You go ahead and arrange it."

"No."

With Cao Cao's permission, Cao Ren began to dispatch troops.

He mobilized 100,000 troops. With 5,000 shield soldiers, 5,000 pikemen, and 5,000 crossbowmen as the vanguard, it advances in a conical shape. Behind were eighty-five thousand axemen and spearmen.

A whole 100,000 troops marched towards the white light cavalry.

"General Bai, the Cao army has begun to attack." Wu Tianci returned to the front of the military formation.

"See..."

Bai Qi took a deep breath and said, "Give the order to withdraw the troops." ”

"What? Withdrawal?! Pei Yuanqing's eyes widened: "Aren't we here to meet Cao Jun?" It's not going to start yet. ”

"We have 20,000 light cavalry, and Cao Cao has 290,000 troops. The disparity in strength is too great. It's impossible to win, so if you don't run now, when? Bai Qi called a few heralds and shouted, "Quickly give the order to withdraw the troops." ”

"No."

The order was passed on.

20,000 light horsemen began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Pei Yuanqing didn't understand: "Then what are we doing here?" ”

"Stall!" Bai Qi replied: "Our army of 200,000 still has three days to reach here. We're going to delay it for three days. After our army arrives, we will start a war with Cao Cao. Until then, no one will be allowed to fight without my orders. Let's go. ”

Bai Qi withdrew with the army.

Pei Yuanqing, Wu Tianci, and Wu Yunzhao looked back at Cao Jun who rushed over, and they also reluctantly evacuated.

Hey?

How did you withdraw your troops?

Cao Cao and Cao Ren were puzzled.

"Collect the troops!"

Cao Ren also shouted. The 100,000 troops that had rushed out were withdrawn one after another.

"King Wei..."

Just when Cao Cao and Cao Ren were confused, Sima Yi rode a fast horse and ran to Cao Cao: "King Wei." I have sent people to find out that the 200,000 troops of Bai Qi are still three hundred and fifty miles away from us. The generals who led the army were Qin Qiong and Wei Xu. Although these two men held high official positions, they did not have a prominent record... ”

Sima Yi told Cao Cao what he had discovered.

"Retreat first and set up camp. I'll consult with Chung Tat before we march. Cao Cao said to Cao Ren on the side.

"No."

With Cao Ren's order.

Cao Cao's 290,000 troops also retreated some distance. Find a few wide places and set up four camps.

In the tent.

Cao Cao asked with a deep face: "Zhongda, what do you mean when you just said that although Qin Qiong and Wei Xu have high positions, they do not have outstanding achievements?" Do you want me to go back and destroy the 200,000 troops of Bai Qi? ”

"King Wei is wise."

Sima Yi said: "Bai Qiqin led 20,000 light horsemen, blocking our way to Xiaopingjin. What was his purpose in doing so? Isn't it just that he wants to delay for a few days, and wait for his 200,000 troops to arrive, and then fight a decisive battle with us. If the King of Wei took this opportunity and wiped out his 200,000 troops, he could not only defeat Bai Qi, but also relieve the pressure on Luoyang. Faith in all armies. ”

"Do you have a way to break the enemy?" Cao Cao asked.

Sima Yi took out the map and put it on the desk, pointing to a mountain range on the map: "This is Longshan, the mountain is undulating, stretching for more than 700 miles. It is the largest mountain range in the entire Sili territory. As long as we find a way to lure Qin Qiong and Wei Xu in, let's take the road, and he will definitely die. ”

"Hmm."

Cao Cao picked up the map, looked at the terrain of Longshan, and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"King Wei, the minister's strategy is..."

Sima Yi told his plan.

Cao Cao laughed after hearing this: "Okay, I'm ready!" I will let Cao Ren lead 50,000 troops, lay a suspicious formation here, and confuse Bai Qi. I personally led the army back and exterminated Qin Qiong and Wei Xu first. ”

"King Wei is wise."

Sima Yi smiled and arched his hand.

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

Next.

Bai Qi's 20,000 light cavalry galloped north for fifty miles, and conquered Xiaopingjin with lightning speed. After that, Wu Yun summoned 5,000 cavalry to garrison Xiaopingjin and build stable fortifications. Bai Qi quickly turned back again, preparing to continue to delay Cao Jun's trip.

When he returned, he found that Cao Cao's camp was still the same as before, without any movement.

This made Bai Qi very puzzled.

Cao Cao was in a hurry to retreat to Hebei, shouldn't he have quickly occupied Xiaopingjin? How can there be no movement?

He stood from a distance and watched for a long time...

"No...!" Bai Qi suddenly called.

"General Bai, did you find something?" Pei Yuanqing asked.

Bai Qi pointed to the camp in the distance and said, "Look at Cao Cao's camp, there is very little cooking smoke. What does this mean? ”

"What does that mean?"

Of course Pei Yuanqing didn't know.

Bai Qi explained to him: "It's noon, it's time to cook." In Cao Cao's camp, the amount of cooking smoke was very small, indicating that there were not many soldiers in the camp. If I'm guessing correctly, this is a suspicious army. Cao Cao had already left with his army. ”
