Chapter 294: Pursuit
Cao Cao thought about it, what if he came back next year? If you want to burn the black nest again, it will be impossible. It seems that only Zhang Jie's hundreds of thousands of troops can be eliminated.
With a ruthless heart, Cao Cao said: The generals will listen to the order, give me all the strength to pursue Zhang Jie, and the reward for capturing Zhang Jie alive is 10,000 dollars.
Promise!
Zhang Jie, accompanied by his personal guards, began to retreat towards Yangwu County. But it's not fast.
Yuan Cao's allied forces desperately chased after them.
Zhang Jie was relieved to see that Cao Cao had finally started to pursue, damn, Lao Tzu spent so much money and even used his example as bait to finally fish you out.
As the two sides ran like a marathon, they got closer and closer to Yangwu. Zhang Jie was afraid that Cao Cao would be suspicious again, so he slowed down.
But Xia Houyuan's cavalry has been chasing after Zhang Jie very closely.
Zhou Cangdao: If you don't want to go first, I'll take someone to stop it.
Zhang Jie said: No, I have to let Cao Cao see me, otherwise he may not chase me. We've been running for so long, and I'm thinking that Cao Cao's infantry is out of touch, and it should be his cavalry that follows us.
We have to wait for Cao Cao here, it seems that we can only stop the cavalry behind. When his infantry comes up, we'll retreat!"
Dian Weidao: We have less than 3,000 men, and I don't know how many cavalry are following us. It's too dangerous, so why don't you go first! I stayed and stopped.
Zhang Jie said: Cao Cao and Yuan Shao only have a total of tens of thousands of cavalry, how can they have to remove 2,000 to attack the black nest, how many can there be now? We are well-armed, and our war horses are better than theirs, what are we afraid of.
Brothers cheer up, let's fight first.
It didn't take long for Xia Houyuan and Cao Hong's cavalry to come. Zhang Jie drew his sword and said: Brothers, kill!
Zhang Jie's personal guards turned around and rushed into the pursuing Cao army, Xia Houyuan was startled, and thought that he was ambushed!
But seeing Zhang Jie was not far away, and it was obvious that these cavalry were his own soldiers.
Xia Houyuan also shouted to kill! Catch Zhang Jie and reward a thousand gold.
Both sides began to tear apart the cavalry. Zhang Jie's personal soldiers are all elite soldiers selected from among the veterans. In one-on-one situations, it is stronger than Cao Cao's soldiers.
But Dian Wei wanted to protect Zhang Jie, so there was a lack of generals to take the lead, and the battle dropped a lot. And there are more Cao Cao. Both sides came up and worked hard.
After fighting for a while, Zhang Jie saw that Yan Liang, the general of Yuan Shao, was also not far behind.
Zhang Jie knew that he couldn't fight anymore, and when the time came, he really couldn't run, so it would be a big joke.
Zhang Jie said: Withdraw!
Zhou Cang took out the horn and blew it. As soon as the horn sounded, everyone began to run backwards, and Zhang Jie turned his horse's head and began to run away with his life.
Because the war horses guarded by Zhang Jie are all selected good horses. Faster than Cao Jun's war horse. After a while, he escaped,
Counting the number of people, there are five hundred less. Zhang Jie is very distressed, these are all elite soldiers who are selected from a hundred! It's a pity. Of course, Cao Jun died more.
It didn't stop all the way, and it was late in the evening. Finally arrived in Yangwu. Zhang Jie did not enter the city, he always hoped that Cao Cao could catch up quickly. It's best to be able to see him.
It was almost dark, and Cao Cao's army finally arrived in Yangwu. When he saw that the gate of Yangwu City was closed, Zhang Jie and his guards rode on horses and stood under the city wall, and the team did not enter the city. And Cao Cao's men and horses basically surrounded Zhang Jie's more than 2,000 people from three sides.
Zhang Jie shouted loudly: Brother Benchu, Brother Mengde, and the younger brother are all going back to Hebei, so the two brothers don't have to send each other off! Little brother, I really can't stand it!
Cao Cao said: Brother Shimin finally came to the Central Plains, why do you have to invite Shimin to Xuchang as a guest! As long as Shimin is willing to go to Xuchang with his brother, Cao promises not to hurt his brother. The wives and children of the people of the world will never be harmed.
Zhang Jie smiled: Najie thanked Brother Meng De first.
Yuan Shaodao: Brother Shimin, now that you are surrounded, it may be difficult to escape, so it is better to surrender! Swear to the sky for my brother that I will never harm the life of my virtuous brother, and my brother's wife and children will also let them have no worries about food and clothing. Never let anyone bother.
Hahahaha! Zhang Jie laughed and said: Brother Benchu, Brother Meng De, although you and I are hostile, but the two brothers are willing to let go of the Jie family today, whether it is sincere or false, Jie is grateful to you. Jie assured that in the future, the wives and sons of the two brothers, Jie, will also let them have no worries about food and clothing.
At this moment, Guo Jia beside Cao Cao seemed to feel that something was wrong, after all, he was a rare strategist in the world, and he heard Zhang Jie's confidence from Zhang Jie's words. Suddenly looked up at Yangwu City, as if he understood something.
Dao: Lord, retreat quickly, we have a plan, although there is no ambush outside the city, there must be Zhang Jie's army in the city. If Zhang Jie's tens of thousands of cavalry all rush out of the city, we will be in danger. Now take advantage of the night to withdraw to Guandu immediately, I hope it is still too late, and it is all to blame Jia for being greedy for merit. Ay!
When Cao Cao heard Guo Jia say this, he was shocked in his heart, and when he looked at the city wall, he saw that there seemed to be several scribes standing on the wall. It was a little dark, I couldn't see clearly, and suddenly my heart was pounding, and the scribe seemed to be depressed. Cao Cao understood the plan. But Cao Cao deserves to be a hero through the ages.
Hahahaha! laughed and said: Then I will thank the virtuous brother of the world. Since the virtuous brother refuses to go to Xuchang, he will not force it to be a brother. We'll see you later.
The generals will listen to the order and withdraw their troops!
The soldiers behind Cao Cao thought they had heard it wrong, but they saw Cao Cao turn his horse's head and shout: Retreat!
Zhang Jie saw Cao Cao shouting to retreat, of course he didn't do it, how could the cooked duck let him fly away?
Shouted: Open the gates.
Suddenly, tom! Tong! Tong! Tong! The drums on the Yangwu city wall shook the sky.
Subsequently, the four doors were opened, and I saw that the one who rushed to the front was Zhao Yun, the first fierce general under Zhang Jie. Behind Zhao Yun were three thousand heavily armored iron horsemen.
And Xu Huang, who was less than ten miles away from Yangwu, and tens of thousands of Zhang He's infantry also began to rush to Yangwu when they heard the drums, wanting to make a big encirclement. Because I was afraid that Yuan Cao's coalition army would find out, I was a little far away.
The sudden change is really a bg huo double heaven, and it seems to be heaven falling into hell for Yuan Cao's coalition army. Now even fools know about the scheme.
Yuan Cao's coalition army ran away. It's hard to see that my parents didn't have two more legs.
Zhang Jie's nearly 30,000 cavalry came out from the four gates of Yangwu, and because the city gate was not wide enough, it was a little slow to come out.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also ran with their lives under the protection of their own soldiers.
The entire coalition of more than 50,000 troops has become headless flies. Running around.
But because it was night, when Zhang Jie's cavalry pursued all the way, Yuan Cao's soldiers began to hide on both sides of the road. This led to sheep grazing wars, in the fields, on the hills, and everywhere deserters.
Zhang Jie was also speechless, and after a while, it suddenly rained heavily.
Zhang Jie returned to the city and stood on the city wall and let the rain hit him. Motionless. I was anxious to vomit blood, and I didn't expect Cao Cao to chase Yangwu City when it was dark. Seeing that Cao Cao saw through the strategy and began to retreat, Zhang Jie had no choice but to launch an attack in advance.
If it was broad daylight, it would only take two hours in the morning, Yuan Cao's allied army of more than 50,000 horses, all the way to pursue people and horses, and did not bring horses, in this plain area, encountered 30,000 iron cavalry, and there were thousands of heavy armored cavalry. How many can you escape?
