Chapter 577: Destroying Cao (35)

"Wait..." Just when Pei Yuanqing was about to leave, Bai Qi stopped him again: "Cao Ren is still fighting when he escapes, don't you think it's abnormal?" He is likely to be diverted from the mountain. You only lead a thousand cavalry to go, chase you to the gate of the wall, and then return. Don't run far. Don't go to places where it's easy to ambush soldiers, so you don't have to be ambushed.... ”

Bai Qi advised.

"No."

After Pei Yuanqing led his troops away, Bai Qi began to shrink his forces and capture the Cao soldiers on the battlefield.

Pei Yuanqing chased three or five miles to the south, and was about to get out of the village. Sure enough, he was ambushed by Cao Ren. This ambush was not trivial, it was arranged by Cao Ren himself, and the arrows and boulders were impenetrable.

Whoosh...

Bang! Bang!

Pei Yuanqing wielded the bright silver hammer of the Baling Plum Blossom and resisted vigorously. He broke out of the siege and ran to the outside of the stockade, where he prepared to stay there. If Cao Ren wanted to rush out, he would desperately stop him.

As for the 1,000 cavalry brought by Pei Yuanqing, they were all killed in ambush.

"Pei Yuanqing's martial arts are really powerful, I have arranged so much, but I haven't taken him down." Cao Ren was still in a corner of the camp. He was surrounded by generals, as well as five or six hundred elite guards.

"It's a pity that King Wei transferred the Shenji Battalion away, otherwise, alas..."

Cao Ren sighed.

He thought to himself, "Is the battle going to be lost again?" ”

The dignified army of 50,000 is going to be defeated by Bai Qi again?

No way!

We must not lose again!

Cao Ren seemed to grit his teeth and said to a few generals beside him: "The cavalry of Bai Qi is good at field battles, not good at attacking fortifications. We gathered our forces and found a place to hold on. When King Wei comes back, it will be Bai Qi's death! ”

"But King Wei has just left, and I don't know when he will come back, just in case..." The generals were afraid. After all, the other party is Bai Qi, and there are tens of thousands of iron horses.

"What are you afraid of, we have a lot of troops, so go back with me." Cao Ren said sharply.

"No."

The generals reluctantly agreed.

Forthwith.

Cao Ren led the army back again.

He chose to be stationed in the position of the Chinese army. The Chinese army has many rejecting horses, and there are many soldiers who hold on, and a little gathering can gather thousands of people to resist.

"Huh?"

Pei Yuanqing waited for a while at the gate of Nanzhai and saw Cao Ren's army turn back.

He thought about it and followed.

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

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, the sky brightened.

Wu Tianci and Pei Yuanqing both arrived at the Chinese army and joined Bai Qi.

Bai Qi's tens of thousands of iron cavalry had wiped out most of the Cao army in the battalion, and they all surrounded him, and the place where Cao Ren held on to the siege could not be drained.

"Hahaha..."

Wu Tianci couldn't help laughing: "This time Cao Ren can't escape." ”

"yes, I can finally catch this kid." Pei Yuanqing hugged his fists at Bai and said, "General Bai, please give me two thousand horses, I will definitely be able to capture Cao Ren alive." ”

"Two generals, have you ever thought about where Cao Cao's main force went? Why did he leave Cao Ren behind and garrison the camp? Bai Qi has been thinking about this question.

"It's a little weird...

"He only had two places to go. One is to bypass the official road to Xiaopingjin, and the other is to return the same way. Wu Tianci said.

"You're right." Bai Qi opened the map, looked at it for a while, and said, "Judging from the map, it is impossible for him to bypass us. If it's going back the way you came... will definitely meet Qin Qiong and Wei Xu. Don't.... ”

Wu Tianci said suddenly: "Could it be that Cao Cao wants to destroy our 200,000 army?" ”

"Quite possibly!" Bai Qi said.

"Although Qin Qiong's position is high, he has not made great contributions, and he has no outstanding achievements. Wei Xu is also mediocre in ability. Cao Cao felt that with his strength, he could eliminate Qin Qiong and Wei Xu. After victory, come back to fight me. I didn't have any reinforcements, and I couldn't help him. ”

"What should we do then, shall we come back to help?" Pei Yuanqing is also not optimistic about Qin Qiong.

In fact, when the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th armies were formed, many high-ranking generals were unknown. Not only Bai Qi, Pei Yuanqing and others were not convinced, but many generals in the army were not convinced.

In the event of such a big war, it is inevitable to be worried.

"General Pei, General Wu."

"In..."

Bai Qi said: "Lead all the cavalry and storm Cao Ren." Fight to catch him. If within two hours, there is no victory. He gave up the attack, leaving some soldiers and horses to lead, and the rest immediately returned to aid Qin Qiong. ”

"No."

The two knew that the matter was urgent, and they did not dare to hesitate in the slightest.

They each led a few thousand cavalry and galloped towards Cao Ren's Chinese army. Along the way, they were intercepted by rejected horses and fired by enemy crossbow arrows, all of which were resisted by shields. However, it came at a terrible price.

Two hours later.

The attack on Cao Ren's camp was unsuccessful.

Bai Qi decisively ordered to give up and retreat.

"General Wu Tianci. You have three thousand cavalry and are stationed here. There is no need to attack, just monitor Cao Ren and not let him break through. When I destroy Cao Cao, I will come to help you, and then I will take Cao Ren with all my strength. Bai Qi commanded.

"No."

Wu Tianci responded.

"General Pei returned with me. I'm a little worried about Qin Qiong, if the army is too damaged, it will really be dangerous. Bai Qi said.

"No."

After deciding.

The trio split up.

At this time.

Qin Qiong and Wei Xu's 200,000 troops have already met Cao Cao's 240,000 troops. A big war is about to begin. Qin Qiong is also gearing up, ready to make contributions.

However, moments before the decisive battle, Cao Cao suddenly moved northeast.

Qin Qiong immediately chased after ...

Chased for a day.

Reach the edge of Longshan.

Cao Cao's 240,000 troops stopped and set up position.

Qin Qiong also lined up to meet the enemy.

"Kill..."

The forces of both sides rushed together and a great battle began.

Qin Qiong relied on a large number of three-bowed crossbows and heavily armored infantry to slightly suppress Cao Cao. After fighting for an hour, Cao Cao suddenly ordered a retreat and entered Longshan.

Qin Qiong continued to catch up...

"Report!"

Soon after entering Longshan, the soldiers who were exploring the road in front returned: "General Yushang, Cao Jun does not know where to go.... ”

"We've been following behind, how can we not know where to go? Revisit! ”

"No."

Qin Qiong is relatively cautious. He saw that the terrain of Longshan was very complicated, full of valleys and woods, and it was very easy to ambush soldiers. In case of an ambush, the soldiers and horses in his hands will definitely suffer heavy losses. So I stationed on the spot, wanting to wait for the investigation to be clear, and then make plans.

"The order was given, and the battalions were stationed at rest in camp. All archers, occupy the high ground.... ”

"No."

After the heralds left.

Qin Qiong's heart was also a little uneasy. From the battle to the present, although he has the upper hand, Cao Cao's troops have not lost much, and they are also very conservative. This would never be the case if it were a real engagement.

What particularly disturbed him was Cao Cao's sudden disappearance, which was very strange.

It's as if it's getting dark all of a sudden, and you can't see the road ahead.

Just after noon.

The soldiers of the rear army came to report: "General, our scouts have found a large number of enemies in the rear. The two roads in and out of Longshan were also occupied by Cao's army, and two camps were built. ”

"What? Rear Army?! ”

Qin Qiong's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe the soldier's words.
