Chapter 486: Changes in "Uncle Cao Guo".
"Kill!" Cao Tong led a team to meet the scouts of the party people, the two sides almost did not have any words, and fought directly on the ice of the Yellow River, the ice was very smooth, but Cao Tong and others were wearing special spikes on their feet, and they could walk on the ice as usual, in contrast, the scout team on the opposite side did not have this kind of equipment, and from time to time someone would fall, which also made Cao Tong take advantage of this side, and in the blink of an eye, this scout team of seven or eight people was killed by them.
"Withdraw!" Cao Tong looked at the hot blood on the ice, but his young face was full of coldness, this time when attacking the party, because of the secret arrangement of Cao Wei and others, many martial arts students joined in, Cao Tong was also one of them, but compared to Di Qing and Yang Wenguang, who had already made a lot of meritorious achievements, Cao Tong's performance was not particularly good, but he also killed many enemies with his own hands.
With Cao Tong's order, his soldiers immediately put away the weapons of the party members as quickly as possible, cut off the opponent's head, and touched the opponent's corpse up and down, and then left the ice as fast as possible, and soon after they left, a larger party team also killed again, but unfortunately they could only collect the bodies of their companions.
The temperature plummeted in three days, and the ice surface of the Yellow River was also frozen overnight, unlike the general river water, the Yellow River was not easy to freeze because the water flow was too rapid before, but as long as the surface was frozen, it would immediately freeze into a very thick ice surface, and there was no problem for people to walk and run on it, but it was still uncertain whether large-scale carriages and horses could pass?
In this case, Zhao Zhen did not rush to cross the river, but patiently waited for the ice to freeze thicker, so as not to have an accident when crossing the river, but the party people on the opposite side couldn't wait, and from time to time there were scout teams of party people who stepped on the ice and lurked around the Song army camp to investigate.
In the face of this situation, Zhao Zhen was not to be outdone, and immediately sent countless squads to strangle the scouts of the party members, so the two sides took the ice of the Yellow River as the battlefield, and there were countless chases and fights.
After Cao Tong led his team to leave the battle, he did not return to the camp immediately, but hid in the reeds on the bank of the river, and everyone rested quietly, or drank water or ate dry food to replenish their strength, and just after they waited for about an hour or two, suddenly another party member quickly crossed the river from the opposite side and wanted to come here, but when the other party was about to go ashore, they were attacked by Cao Tong and others, and finally left five or six corpses before they were unwilling to retreat.
When Cao Tong and the others returned to the camp, everyone had one or two heads on their backs, which was also a good harvest for them, after all, the heads of each party member could be exchanged for a lot of rewards, and they could also be recorded in military merits, and future promotions would all depend on the number of military merits.
Di Qing wandered around the camp with a dog's tail grass in his mouth, but with a bandage on his shoulder, the people who saw him in the camp also took the initiative to greet him, now Di Qing is a celebrity in the barracks, some time ago he led his subordinates to blow up the city of Xiping Mansion It was a great achievement, and a few days ago Di Qing led a cavalry to quietly cross the river and sneak attack a camp where the party members stored grain and grass, which made the party members suffer heavy losses, for which they were also personally rewarded by Zhao Zhen, everyone knew that this time as long as Di Qing did not die, I will definitely soar when I go back in the future.
However, although Di Qing has made great contributions, the cavalry he led also lost a small half, and even he himself was hit by several arrows because of his own broken back, the most serious of which was the wound on the shoulder, which caused his left arm to be a little inflexible now, and the military doctor told him not to go to the battlefield again, but Di Qing felt that it was not a big problem, even if he only had one hand left, he could still carry a knife into battle.
"Brother Qing, how is your injury?" At this moment, Cao Tong, who had just received military merits, suddenly saw Di Qing, and immediately stepped forward with a smile and asked, they are all students of the first class of martial arts, and Di Qing is still the head of the students, at least no one can compare with him, so Cao Tong naturally knows him.
"It's okay, I heard that Jing Xiu has the bloody qi of your body, how many did you kill today?" Di Qing also showed a smile when he saw Cao Tong and asked, Cao Tong is Jingxiu, when he was in martial arts before, Cao Tong was not very eye-catching, and he was even bullied, Di Qing is a poor man and likes to take money to do things, but the Cao brothers once exchanged money and asked Di Qing to help them teach each other a lesson, so the two sides can be regarded as having contacts.
"It's okay, I slaughtered three of them with my own hands today, and my brothers also killed a lot, but I heard that our people in the southern section of the river suffered a loss, and they lost two teams, one of which is still our martial arts person." When Cao Tong said at the end, he also showed a sad look on his face, there are hundreds of people who have graduated from martial arts, maybe he doesn't know the other party, but he is also a martial arts student, which still makes him can't help but feel a little sad.
Di Qing also sighed when he heard this, and then he spoke: "Life and death are fate, when we were in the first day of martial arts class, the instructor told us that as long as we go to the battlefield, even a general will be difficult to grasp our own lives, let alone us, but if we are really afraid of death, we will not come here!" ”
"Yes, now the main force of the party is still on the other side of the river, and after this battle, I don't know how many brothers will fall, but since we have come here, we have long left life and death behind, even if it is death, I will pull a few more pads!" When Cao Tong said to the end, his face was also full of murderous aura, who would have thought that the famous Uncle Cao Guo of the Eight Immortals in later generations would now become a murderous young general due to the change of fate.
Looking at Cao Tong with a murderous face, Di Qing also nodded approvingly, speaking of which, when they were in martial arts, their group of students selected from the army did not look down on Cao Tong and these generals, thinking that they were pampered, afraid of hardship and tiredness, and it was impossible for them to succeed on the battlefield, but they didn't expect that when they first came to the army, Cao Tong and these people had undergone great changes, and now even if someone dares to bully Cao Tong, I am afraid they don't have to help him out.
Di Qing and Cao Tong chatted a few words, and then said goodbye to each other and left, but Di Qing didn't want to go back to the tent to rest, so he went to his boss Cao Mata's tent, and when he entered the tent, he found that Cao Yu was deducing the battle situation on the sand table, the sand table was originally spread from martial arts, and it is said that it was invented by the superintendent Li Duwei, and now it has almost become the standard for generals in the army, and even many people will make sand tables by themselves.
"General, is there any news from above, when will we cross the river?" Di Qing and Cao Yu were too familiar, so they were not polite when they came in, grabbed the teapot next to them and poured a few sips before asking.
"You ask me? Who goes, I ask? Cao Ma glanced at Di Qing at this time and said, Zhao Zhen is known for his steadiness in his soldiers, and he likes to keep it secret when fighting, and he will never make it public until the last moment, so Cao Yu and these people don't know when Zhao Zhen plans to cross the river now?
"I went to the river this morning, and I asked many scouts who went out, and they all said that the ice on the river is very solid now, and a large number of cars and horses crossing the river are no problem at all, and I heard that it is snowing in the south, and if it snows heavily on our side, we will not want to fight at that time." Di Qing said in the end, he was a little anxious, although he was injured, he was not willing to miss this opportunity to destroy the party, after all, they had already reached the Yellow River, in case they could not complete the original plan due to weather conditions, it would also be a huge loss for the Great Song Dynasty.
"I have said this to the general a long time ago, but the general is very sitting, no matter who advises him, it is useless, but I guess the general is also in a hurry now, but he is too able to hold back, let's wait for his order honestly!" Cao Ma also stood up from the sand table at this time, and then said helplessly, when encountering a general like Zhao Zhen, they have no way to be subordinates.
However, just as Cao Yu's words fell, he suddenly saw a personal soldier break in quickly and report: "General, General Zhao ordered you to rush to the Shuai tent immediately!" ”
