Volume 2 Dunjia Heavenly Book Chapter 81 Battle Front
Guo Tu and Fu Zhu led 10,000 old and weak soldiers to march more than 10 miles, when there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind them.
"Oh no, Cao Cao's cavalry is chasing after you."
"Run!"
Guo Tu shouted, ignoring the soldiers behind him, and rode his horse away. If you want to surrender, you must first save your life, and surrender in the chaos of the army, and you will undoubtedly find death.
Seeing Guo Tu abandon the crowd and flee, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, but he couldn't leave his soldiers behind.
"Discard all the equipment, protect the food and grass and retreat quickly!"
The messy equipment on the road caused a lot of trouble to the cavalry of the Cao army, and every instrument was intact, Xiahoudun wanted to take it away, and it was a pity to destroy it, so he had to order someone to dismount and move the equipment away and clear a spacious road. At the same time, the 10,000 soldiers who were frustrated quickly escaped for another 5 miles, but were finally caught up by the cavalry of Xiahoudun and Xu Huang.
"Break through, kill me!"
Xiahoudun waved the mace in his hand and rushed over, and immediately smashed Sergeant Yuan to cry for a while. Then Xu Huang picked up the big axe, and it was like a whirlwind to harvest the lives of Yuan soldiers. Immediately afterwards, 5,000 cavalry passed through the 10,000 Yuan army without hindrance, and then turned the horse's head and killed a round trip. Only killed these 10,000 old and weak soldiers, threw away their armor, and ran away with their heads.
"The whole army surrenders!"
He didn't want to make any more senseless resistance, he always thought that he had been abandoned by Yuan Shao and was left behind as cannon fodder, he didn't dare to imagine that Yuan Shao would stay in the camp to meet Cao Cao.
Seeing Yuan Shaojun surrender, Xiahoudun ordered someone to clean up the battlefield. He actually got a lot of grain and grass, which was enough for his 5,000 cavalry to eat for four or five days. When he learned from the captives that there was only half of the grain and grass here, and the other half was still running away, he could no longer sit still.
He is Cao Cao's core general, of course, he knows the real situation in his army, their Cao army has long run out of food, and they all rely on the opportunity to snatch some when they attack the black nest, and it is only enough for one day. Just count on repelling Yuan Shao today, and then return to Xuchang to resupply.
Xiahoudun only had 5,000 cavalry, and he had to guard the 10,000 soldiers, carry grain and grass, and also want to pursue Yuan Shaojun, so he really lacked skills. In desperation, he had no choice but to wait in place, and sent a herald to inform the 5,000 infantry of Li Dian and Lejin in the rear to come and join as soon as possible.
Nearly half an hour later, Li Dian and Lejin's 5,000 infantry arrived late, and when they received Xiahoudun's order, they were already on their way back to carry the equipment. He had to leave the equipment in place and send someone to Cao Cao, hoping that he would send another group of people to take over the work of carrying the equipment, while their 5,000 infantry rushed to meet Xiahoudun and Xu Huang.
When Cao Cao received the report, he frowned at first, but was quickly relieved. His own 20,000 family base is not as big as Yuan Shao's 100,000 army, and it is said that there are too many loot. Especially when he heard that there was still food and grass to grab, the urgency in his heart was the same as that of Xiahoudun.
As a monarch, Cao Cao knew more than Xiahoudun. Xuchang had no food in stock, and even if Cao Cao returned to Xuchang at this moment, it would be difficult to get supplies for a while, unless he made a promise to the local gentry, or he could get their support. Otherwise, those wealthy gentry would not give him Cao Cao's face.
Cao Cao immediately ordered Xu You to lead 2,000 soldiers to help carry the spoils. Xu You was very happy, he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to lead the troops as soon as he joined Cao Ying, so he once again showed his loyalty to Cao Cao in front of Yuan Shao. Of course, he didn't expect that if it weren't for Xun You, Guan Yu and others guarding Cao Jun's camp, resulting in a shortage of manpower around Cao Cao, how could he be the head of the porter......
Besides, with Li Dian and Lejin's 5,000 infantry to help escort the prisoners and carry grain and grass, Xiahoudun and Xu Huang set off in a hurry with 5,000 cavalry. At this moment, they are already 20 miles away from Yuan Shao's camp, and more than 20 miles later is Wuchao Mountain. If someone looks down from the air at this moment, they can see the entire 20,000 Cao army, which has been divided into a straight line for various reasons. From south to north:
Stayed in Cao Cao's camp (2,000 people)
Capture Yuan Shao's camp (6,000 people)
Handling equipment (2,000 people)
Escorting prisoners and carrying grain and grass (5,000 people)
Pursuit of Yuan Shaojun (5,000 men)
Wei Dong saw that the time had come, so he no longer hid it, he stood up and said with a smile:
"Cao Cao, I heard that you are both civil and military, why don't we come and learn a thing or two?"
Wei Dong suddenly changed his words, which made Cao Cao instantly messy. He never expected Yuan Shao to look for him alone, but he didn't react for a while. Just when he was stunned, Xu Chu beside him jumped out with a giant hammer.
"The lord of the defeated army, how can you compare with my lord, I promise to meet you!"
At this moment, Cao Cao finally realized that Yuan Shao had done so many moths just to provoke him to fight alone, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's martial arts were half a catty, and no one dared to say that they could win against anyone. If he wins heads-up, it's fine, but if he loses, wouldn't it be a waste of his good situation? Cao Cao is not stupid, seeing Xu Chu jumping out to answer the call, he couldn't help but feel secretly refreshed, if you want to fight alone, you can, just come and feel the power of my Cao Army's first fierce general!
"The sword has no eyes, if it hurts the original, how can this be good?" Cao Cao said duplicitously, but he was thinking in his heart, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, I was worried that I couldn't find an excuse to kill you, so you took the initiative to bump into you.
Wei Dong saw that Cao Cao refused to go head-to-head, and tacitly let Xu Chu go head-to-head with him, and he pretended to say that the sword was eyeless, and he felt a burst of contempt in his heart. He was originally holding the mentality of giving it a try, and when he saw Xu Chu for the first time, he understood that if he wanted to take Cao Cao's life, defeating Xu Chu was the key.
"Okay, then I'll play with Xu Chu first, and get spears and horses!"
As soon as Wei Dong's words fell, a guard brought a horse and presented a spear. Damn, this equipment is too ordinary. Anyway, I am a master who has ridden a red rabbit horse, taken a Fang Tian painting halberd, and fought with Dian Wei for nearly a thousand rounds. Eh, forget it, make do with it, Yuan Shao is not Lu Bu after all, his baby is the family's 5 favorite concubines, not weapons and horses.
Seeing that Yuan Shao was so formal, it really looked like he was going to fight alone, Cao Cao nodded to Xu Chu, and his eyes revealed a strong murderous intent. Xu Chu has followed Cao Cao for many years, so he naturally understood what Cao Cao meant, and immediately hugged his fists to show that he understood.
"Okay, okay, you two don't frown, I can see that I have pimples all over my body!"
Wei Dong said that he turned over and got on the horse, and he felt bad after playing with a few spears. Although he could use his spear halberd eight style, Yuan Shao's body was a little unbearable, and he was out of breath after a few strokes. Wei Dong couldn't help but scold in his heart, this Yuan Shao knows how to exercise on women on weekdays, don't you understand that the more you practice, the more you become more and more empty?
After Xu Chu got on the horse, he also learned from Yuan Shao to perform a few tricks, only to see the sledgehammer in his hand to smash the tiger and the tiger, and he saw the surrounding soldiers applauding in unison, which formed a sharp contrast with Yuan Shao's side.
Wei Dong was embarrassed in his heart, this Yuan Shao's arms were weak, his back was sore and his legs were weak, if he wanted to defeat Xu Chu with this body, I was afraid it would be a little difficult, what could be done to make Yuan Shao regain his man's majesty? Wei Dong fell into deep thought! Huh? Pregnant!
Wei Dong's mind actually appeared the contents of the Heavenly Escape Volume of the Dunjia Heavenly Book. Last time, Old Man Zuo Ci said that he was at the Fang Shi level, so he should be able to use this level of magic. I don't know if there are any low-level spells that can be used by alchemists in the Heavenly Escape Scroll.
Just as Wei Dong was searching for the spells available to him in his mind, Xu Chu had already finished playing the treasure, and he picked up the giant hammer with one arm and pointed it at Wei Dong.
"Yuan Shaoxiao'er, the one who killed you, Xu Chu is also!"
"Oh, oh, oh!"
As soon as Xu Chu let out a big word, the whistling sound on Cao Jun's side shook the sky, startling the horses on Yuan Shao's side and retreating.
Wei Dong was also awakened by this terrifying momentum, he searched and searched, and finally found a spell that could be used at the method level.
"The heavens change randomly, and the celestial phenomena that can be changed are, sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy, day, and night. The caster's spiritual power determines the coverage of celestial phenomena, with a minimum radius of 1 mile and a maximum radius of 10,000 miles. ”
It sounds very bullish, but what's the use of Wei Dong at the moment? And it's a random change in the sky. Unable to allow Wei Dong to think too much, Xu Chu shouted, picked up the giant hammer and rushed towards him.
"Yuan Shao, suffer death!"
