Chapter 883: The Battle of Cao Sun (I)
The generals of the Cao army, seeing the peerless courage of taking the head of the enemy general in the forbidden army, exclaimed one by one. Shaoqing, Yu Ban was unstoppable, and he saw that he was about to kill Lu Su. Lu Su had no choice but to pull out his horse and escape. As soon as Lu Su fled, Cao Cao immediately ordered his soldiers and horses to attack, and Cao's army broke through bravely, but Lu Su's troops could not resist and fled separately. Yu Ban rushed left and right in the chaotic army, but after breaking several rounds of blockades, he saw that Lu Su had fled away, and feared that Cao Cao would lose, so he hurriedly rushed back to Cao Cao's side. At this time, Xiahoudun, Le Jin and others will arrive later, Cao Cao is overjoyed, and is looking for a way back to the village.
Looking at the evening, there was another overwhelming shouting and killing. At the beginning of the shouting behind him, I saw Sun Ce rushing towards him with a gun and yelling loudly.
"Old thief Cao is leaving!!! I will take your head today!! ”
At this time, the Cao soldiers were sleepy and tired, and everyone looked at each other, each wanting to escape. Seeing this, Xiahoudun drank with emotion.
"The king has no worries! Look at how I, Xiahou Yuanrang, repelled Huzi!! ”
After Xiahou finished drinking, his one-eyed murderous aura was violent, and with a spear, he pulled out his horse and went to Sun Ce to greet him. Sun Ce saw that it was Xiahoudun who was killed, and knew that he was the first brave general under Cao Cao, so he shook his spirit and met Xiahoudun. The two horses rushed to each other, and the two clashed together, and Xiahoudun attacked in order to save the disadvantage, regardless of the defense, and attacked with his life, and the offensive was very fierce. Although Sun Ce was strong in martial arts, Xiahoudun was a step ahead, but he was unwilling to fight with Xiahoudun for his life, and was killed by Xiahoudun for a while. Seeing this, the generals of the Cao army were burning, and Yu Ban and Le Jin shouted in unison, and slapped their horses left and right to kill them. Sun Ce turned out two generals behind him, it was Lu Meng and Xu Sheng, the two of them resisted Yu Ban and Le Jin, and each fought in one place.
The generals of both sides fought fiercely, the soldiers stimulated the fighting spirit, Cao Cao gave an order, Cao soldiers rushed forward, Lu Xun and Lu Su followed, and they commanded Jiangdong soldiers and horses to meet them, and the two armies fought together until dusk. Suddenly, the clouds changed, the thunder rolled down, the rain was pouring down, and the soldiers and horses on both sides were exhausted, and they led their troops to disperse.
Cao Cao returned to the village, read the exploits of fighting to the death and saving in the ban, rewarded the ban, worshiped the general Huwei, was named the Marquis of Li, and praised the document.
"The force is both large, the strategy is well-prepared, the quality is loyal, the observance of righteousness, every time the battle is attacked, often for the supervision, the strong and strong, the invincible, self-help and drums, and the hands are tireless. It can be described as a tiger. He also sent another expedition, commanded the division and brigade, governed the army strictly, raised the people and made peace, was ordered to commit no offense, and when the enemy was defeated, there was no loss. Therefore, Feng Lihou! ”
Crying in the forbidden book, he died as the ghost of the Cao family, and served him for the rest of his life. When the generals heard about this, they all took it as an example, hoping to get such an honor as Ban.
In other words, Xiahou Yuan led an army to kill Xia Pi. Ling Tong heard this, and hurriedly led the army to Quxian to meet the attack. Xiahou Yuan's troops arrived at the border of Qu County, and Ling Tong wanted to order troops and personally greeted them. Ding Feng was afraid that Ling Tong's injuries had not healed, and he knew that Xiahou Yuan's archery skills were superb, so he hurriedly persuaded Ling Tong.
"Xiahou Miaocai, a general under the command of Cao Lao Thief, this person is brave and proficient. The public performance should not be underestimated, and it is advisable to defend the city, wait and see what happens, and wait for the lord to break the old thief Cao, the other army is panicked, and then take advantage of the situation to attack, it is the best policy! ”
Ling Tong heard this, but he laughed disdainfully.
"Although this person is a gun, I also have two whips to block it, why do I need both? Don't worry about it, I'll see how I defeat it tomorrow! ”
Ling Tong squinted at the tiger's eyes, he had lost more than 20,000 soldiers and horses before, and at this time, he was eager to make meritorious service and save his reputation. Ding Feng saw that Ling Tong was very impatient, and he frowned unconsciously, and persuaded again.
"With the courage of public performance, he is naturally not afraid of that Xiahou talent. However, in recent months, in order to take revenge on Chen Deng, the lord wantonly killed and tortured the people in Xiapi to vent his hatred. The people in the city are hostile to the people of our Jiangdong, if there is a case, how can it be good!? ”
"Humph! Cheng Yuan doesn't have to worry too much. The lord subdued the barbarians of Xuzhou, and the barbarians were greedy for life and afraid of death, how could they make a mistake!? In my opinion, the current time is to break the Cao army, to shock the prestige of our Jiangdong army, and to teach these barbarians to know that our army is powerful and dare not rebel! ”
Ling Tongyi wanted to fight, but Ding Feng's persuasion was useless. The next day, Ling Tong led his troops out of the city, and soon after leaving Qu County, he encountered Xiahou Yuan's soldiers and horses, and the two armies set up a position, and the two armies faced each other. Ling Tong stood under the door flag, holding a double whip, and scolded, asking Xiahou Yuan to fight.
When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he stared at the battle, and grinned when he saw the five words of 'Yu Hangling Gongji' in the big book of banners. For this Ling Tong, Xiahou Yuan has heard a lot, this person is a fierce general among the young generation in Jiangdong, except for Lu Ziming, among the young soldiers in Jiangdong, he is the most beautiful.
Xiahou Yuan groaned for a while, then slapped his horse and rushed out. When Ling Tong saw Xiahou Yuan coming out of the battle, he smiled coldly, shouted, danced his double whips, and galloped wildly, so he came to meet Xiahou Yuan. The two fast horses rushed opposite each other, and when they were close, Xiahou Yuan suddenly swept his spear, Ling Tong's eyes widened, one whip swept away, and the other whip swept towards Xiahou Yuan's front door. Xiahou Yuan was taken aback and hurriedly leaned away from it. As soon as he avoided it, Ling Tong's offensive came again, and the two whips came out together, stabbing Xiahou Yuan in the chest. Xiahou Yuan hurriedly raised his gun to resist, Ling Tong was very strong, and with a loud bang, Xiahou Yuan withdrew the gun, his mouth ached faintly, and he secretly said in his heart.
"There is no vanity under the fame, this son is really good!"
Between the lightning and flint, Ling Tong's offensive came again, the double whip danced impenetrable, and the offensive was fierce, killing Xiahou Yuan for a while, and blindly defending.
After a while, the two clashed for dozens of rounds, and Xiahou Yuan suddenly pulled out his horse and fled. Ling Tong thought that he was cold and retreated, so he chased after him and scolded him incessantly. Xiahou Yuan saw that Ling Tong, a young and vigorous young man, really chased after him, sneered in his heart, whipped and flew, and gradually opened the distance between Ling Tong.
Just when Xiahou Yuan was about to arrive in his formation, suddenly Xiahou Yuan stopped his horse, held down the gun, and put the arrow on his bow, all in one go. Ling Tong was in a hurry, and when he saw Xiahou Yuan suddenly aiming at him, his face suddenly changed drastically.
'Bang' a chord sound.
An arrow flew in a hurry, and the arrow carried the image of a prostrate giant wolf. Ling Tong hurriedly gathered his momentum, pressed on the double whip, and the arrow flew away, seeing that it was about to shoot in front of Ling Tong. Ling Tong shouted loudly, and his double whips burst out and smashed on the arrows.
Xiahou Yuan's tiger eyes froze, and he saw that a huge black ape seemed to appear behind Ling Tong, and the black ape swept over his black wolf with a giant whip in his hand, and the black wolf scattered as soon as it was beaten.
Xiahou Yuan's face was gloomy, and he grabbed dozens of thin arrows from the quiver one after another. Ling Tong had just broken through the dark arrow, and before he could come back to his senses, the bowstring roared violently. It seemed to see dozens of black wolves rushing over in front of him, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly filled Ling Tong's body, and Ling Tong hurriedly waved his double whips and smashed them indiscriminately.
On the field, the roar of the giant ape's hammer chest seemed to be heard, and after a round of arrows, he saw a thin arrow on Ling Tong's right shoulder. Ling Tong gasped and glared at Xiahou Yuan. Seeing that Xiahou Yuan wanted to launch an offensive again, Ling Tong was shocked, and subconsciously pulled out his horse and fled. Xiahou Yuan fired arrows in the back, and Ling Tong retreated to block, seeing that Ling Tong was getting farther and farther away. Xiahou Yuan shouted angrily, and then ordered the whole army to attack and kill. The Cao army was killed, but the Jiangdong army could not resist and fled in defeat.
Xiahou Yuan took advantage of the situation to chase and kill, and chased it all the way to Qu County. The people in the city saw that the Cao army was chasing and killing the Jiangdong soldiers and horses, and suddenly broke out, and rushed to the north gate together, and the Jiangdong defenders were unexpected, and were killed and dispersed by the people of Qu County, and the people of Qu County seized the city gate. Seeing that Ling Tongzheng was leading the remnants of the army to come, he hurriedly pulled up the suspension bridge.
Ling Tongzheng was chased by Cao Jun in a hurry, and suddenly saw the drawbridge pulled up, and hurriedly shouted.
"Don't open the door yet!!!"
Ling Tong roared as hard as he could, but he did not frighten the people of Qu County, but only listened to the people of Qu County scolding Ling Tong in unison. When Ling Tong saw that the people of Quxian County were in the city, his face turned pale with fright.
Later, the Cao army was galloping and killing, and Ling Tong was anxious and helpless, lest the army be surrounded and killed by Xiahou Yuan's soldiers and horses, so he urgently ordered the army to flee to Picheng.
Ding Feng heard the report from the soldiers, Ling Tong was defeated, and the people in the city rebelled and seized the north gate. Ding Feng hurriedly gathered his troops and horses, opened the east gate and fled to Picheng.
At this point, Xiahou Yuan, with the help of the people of Qu County, recaptured Qu County. Cao Jun entered the city, and the people wept and worshiped on the ground, each coming to tell about Sun Ce's tyranny. Xiahou Yuan heard the murderous intent, but he pressed it to the death to appease the people.
The soldiers fought a battle, all exhausted, and Xiahou Yuan ordered all the armies to rest. Liu Ye, who accompanied the army, came to see him and admonished Xiahou Yuan.
"The people are miserable, the tigers are tyrannical, and the heavens are angry and the people are resentful. The general should take advantage of the situation and break through Xiapi in one fell swoop!! ”
"What Liu Sima said is extremely true! When the soldiers are resting, I will go out to fight the thieves in the coming day! ”
Xiahou Yuan squinted at the tiger and bowed his head heavily. The next day, Xiahou Yuan ordered Liu Ye and others to guard Qu County, and led his army to kill Xia Pi. Ling Tong was defeated for a while, lost Qu County, heard that Xiahou Yuan waved his army to arrive, did not dare to fight without authorization, ordered the soldiers to guard tightly, and at the same time sent soldiers and horses to patrol the city day and night to guard against the rebellion of the people in the city.
Xiahou Yuan led the army to Xiapi City, looked at the heavily guarded city from afar, and saw that Xiapi City was extremely strong, and did not want to attack, so he ordered the army to retreat forty miles to the village. Outside the city, the Jiangdong scouts saw Xiahou Yuan's retreat and retreat to the village forty miles outside the city, and hurriedly reported to Ling Tong. When Ling Tong heard this, he knew that Xiahou Yuan saw that Picheng was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he didn't dare to attack hard, so he put his mind at ease. Ling Tong then approached Ding Feng to discuss a strategy to break the enemy.
Ding Feng groaned for a while and said in a condensed voice.
"The art of war is cloudy, know yourself and know the enemy, in order to win a hundred battles. Cao Jun is forty miles away from the village, why not lead a team of soldiers and horses to explore the truth? ”
"Cheng Yuan's words are exactly what I want!"
Ling Tong also didn't want to blindly defend it, and the people in the city were hostile, if he didn't repel Xiahou Yuan early, something would happen sooner or later. So, Ling Tong led 300 fast horses and rushed out of the city to Cao Jun's Dazhai.
When approaching Cao Jun's Dazhai, Ling Tong suddenly ordered the sergeant to stop, the sergeant was suspicious, Ling Tong smiled, pointed to a forest on the left, and saw that in the woods, the trees were luxuriant, and it was very likely to ambush the soldiers and horses.
