Cao Hong's Qingzhou army fought with the 15,000 elites led by Cheng Yanjin, and the stalemate was stalemate.

value at this time.

Sima Yi took Li Tong as his general, led 10,000 foot soldiers, and moved to the southwest.

They were under the banner of Cao Cao, accompanied by the king in Luan's chariot, and they really looked like that.

"General, look...."

On the col of Xiaotai Mountain, several generals saw Li Tong's troops and were fleeing the battlefield.

Xue Rengui also hurriedly ran to the top to watch.

"It's Cao Cao's car. He was accompanied by about 10,000 troops. Xue Rengui thought for a while, and immediately said: "Can't let them escape, mobilize 50,000 heavy troops, go to encircle them, and be sure to annihilate them." ”

"No."

Several generals who heard the order excitedly went to transfer troops.

If Cao Cao can be caught, it will be the first merit of the whole war!

Soon.

An army of 50,000 men was ready to pursue to the southwest.

After Cao Cao and Sima Yi received the report, they were very happy: "There are 50,000 fewer enemies." If our offensive is more swift, we will defeat Cheng Biting Jin on the opposite side. Xue Rengui has no reinforcements, and it will be difficult to stop us. ”

"Go tell Cao Hong. In half an hour, be sure to win! ”

"No."

Wait for the herald to leave.

Sima Yi said: "Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are not willing to act as bait, so what should they do?" Our Xiliang and Chang'an can't be given to him in vain. ”

"What do you suggest?" Speaking of Liu Bei, Cao Cao also hated itchy.

If it weren't for the critical situation, he really wanted to destroy Liu Bei, out of sight, out of mind.

Sima Yi said: "Let him lead the troops under his command to the flank of Xiaotai Mountain to meet Xue Rengui's other tens of thousands of troops." Those were all Xue Rengui's soldiers and horses, and it was said that they were all recruits. With Liu Beijun's strength, it shouldn't be a problem. ”

"Hmm. Go and herald. ”

"No."

Cao Cao thought in his heart, if he dares to preserve his strength and not send troops, don't blame me for being ruthless.

It's really a matter of life and death.

Nothing is guaranteed to happen. It also includes pulling Liu Bei's back!

Sima Yi did not go directly to see Liu Bei, but first found Pang Tong and wanted to persuade Liu Bei through Pang Tong.

"The situation is very critical now. We were stopped by Xue Rengui's 130,000-strong army, who was condescending and attacked fiercely. If we can't break through in a short time, we risk being caught up by the enemy from behind. At that time, the real immortals will be difficult to save. Therefore, you must persuade Liu Bei to send troops to meet Xue Rengui's remaining soldiers and horses, about 40,000, all of which are on the flanks of Xiaotai Mountain. If you can defeat the 40,000 army. Xue Rengui's vitality was greatly damaged, so it was impossible to stop us anymore. Sima Yi persuaded.

"Why didn't the King of Wei send troops?" Pang Tong knew Liu Bei's thoughts, and he was not sure that he could persuade Liu Bei to send troops, so he was a little hesitant.

"Hehe..."

Sima Yi laughed strangely: "The King of Wei has lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. The Qingzhou army faced Cheng Biting Jin on the opposite side. The Shenji Battalion stormed Xiaotai Mountain. The rest of our troops are also ready to break through. Just now, another 10,000 were sent out, luring away 50,000 enemy troops. Isn't that enough? Dare to ask what Liu Bei did? ”

Speaking of this, Sima Yi sneered: "This is what I really see, what is benevolence and righteousness..." ”

"Zhongda later, wait for me to persuade the lord." Pang Tong's face changed, and he walked towards Liu Bei in the distance.

After a little.

Liu Bei leaned over and said to Sima Yi, "I am willing to send troops." However, please send a sharpshooter battalion to help. You also know that there are no three-bow strong crossbows in my army, and the loss is too great to fight with Xue Rengui's army. ”

"Okay."

Sima Yi responded.

In fact, Liu Bei's heart knows better than anyone else. It is necessary not only to preserve strength, but also to break out of the encirclement. With Cao Cao's soldiers and horses alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to do. The most important thing is that he can't offend Cao Cao.

So, he had to send troops.

Liu Bei took Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to the flank of Xiaotai Mountain, about five miles away.

There was a barracks there.

All of Xue Rengui's troops were stationed in the barracks.

"Zilong."

"Yes."

Liu Bei called Zhao Yun to him, pointed to the enemy camp in the distance, and said, "Xue Rengui has 130,000 troops, of which 20,000 elites went to the intersection and fought with Cao Hong. About 20,000 on Xiaotai Mountain. Fifty thousand were transferred to pursue Li Tong. Now there are less than 40,000 in the battalion. I'll give you 10,000 elites, and you will be the vanguard and rush in. From the left battalion to the middle army, and then back to the front battalion. Lure the enemy over. ”

"Yes."

Zhao Yun answered and went to make arrangements.

"Big brother." Zhang Fei ran over and said, "The 10,000 sharpshooter battalion sent by Cao Cao is already on the flank, ready to attack at any time. ”

"Okay."

Liu Bei said: "Tell them, wait for Zilong to lead the enemy army over." They immediately pressed on it and wiped out the enemy in the camp with three strong crossbows. I will send another 10,000 soldiers to line up here to prevent the enemy from escaping. ”

"Yes."

Everything was arranged.

Start the offensive ...

Liu Bei's strategy of advancing can be described as seamless. I can't lose much of his troops. But he underestimated Xue Rengui. Is the camp under Xue Rengui so easy to sneak attack? Although Zhao Yun is brave, he is afraid that he may not be able to attract the enemy troops in the battalion.

"Kill..."

Zhao Yun led 10,000 elites and rushed into the camp.

On the hill of Xiaotai.

Xue Rengui had already seen the scene below.

"General, general..." A lieutenant came to report: "Liu Beijun raided our military camp. ”

"What's the panic, I've already laid an ambush." Xue Rengui was full of confidence, and said to the captain: "Don't ignore Liu Bei. Go and tell Cheng Yanjin to plug the gap and not let the enemy escape. ”

"Yes."

After the captain turned around and left, Xue Rengui no longer paid attention to the battle of the big battalion.

He walked to the front and directed the soldiers to counterattack Cao Cao's Shenji battalion.

In the face of the repeated bombardment of the 5,000 Shenji Battalion, it caused huge casualties to his troops. But Cao Cao's Shenji camp is very close to Taniguchi. If it's a three-bow crossbow, it's completely capable of shooting.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Whoosh...

Countless arrows flew down and shot directly at the front row of the Shenji Battalion.

All the Cao soldiers who controlled the thunderbolt were skillfully hiding behind the thunderbolt to avoid the arrows in the sky. And Xue Rengui couldn't throw stones on the territory of the Shenji Camp.

The two sides faced each other, and Cao Jun, who was in control of the Shenji Battalion, had the upper hand.

"King Wei, King Wei..."

After half a pillar of incense, a general ran to Cao Cao's car and reported: "Liu Beijun attacked Xue Rengui's military camp and was ambushed. ”

"What?! What about casualties? ”

Cao Cao was shocked.

"There is a fierce battle at the moment. It is not known how many casualties were lost. ”

"Alas, this Xue Rengui..." Cao Cao walked out of the car and stared viciously at Xue Rengui's banner on Xiaotai Mountain. After being stunned, he said to Sima Yi: "Zhongda, quickly order the whole army to start breaking through." ”

"Break out now? Didn't he put Liu Bei in danger? And the situation of General Cao Hong did not come either. If we don't get out, we will have more casualties. Sima Yi said.
