Feng Ju, who was in charge of guarding at night, heard a voice coming from the room where Cao Wenzhao was sleeping, and he hurriedly led his four subordinates to rush into the room: "Where is the demon?" Where is the wickedness? ”

Cao Wenzhao sat at the head of the bed sleepily, holding a sword in his hand, and when he saw Feng Ju, he came to his senses.

Before he had time to put on his clothes, he ordered Feng Judao: "The yin and evil qi here is too heavy, don't stay for a long time, gather the team immediately!" ”

"Master Cao, it's only three watches now!"

Cao Wenzhao was undoubted: "Pass my order and open immediately!" ”

"Yes, pull it out immediately." Feng Ju ran out in a panic to gather troops.

Cao Bianjiao didn't want his uncle to march at this time, because in the past two days, more than half of the troops had been killed and wounded, and the shadow of defeat was still shrouded in the hearts of the soldiers.

Cao Bianjiao came to Cao Wenzhao to intercede for the soldiers: "Master Cao, it is the third watch time, everyone is very tired, can you start after dawn and let the brothers sleep a little longer?" ”

Cao Wenzhao's face was anxious: "No! And you must immediately pull out and leave this evil place. ”

Cao Bianjiao saw that his uncle had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything anymore, and went back to rectify the people and set off.

More than 1,000 people of Cao Wenzhao left the horse village, and traveled more than 70 miles with difficulty under the night, in addition to the steep slope woods all the way, there was also a cold wind and drizzle along the way, and the soldiers were forced by the majesty of Cao Wenzhao, and none of them dared to gossip, until dawn, the drizzle stopped.

When the sun rose, another cottage appeared in front of him, and Cao Wenzhao asked left and right: "Where is this?" ”

Someone told him that this place was the Jijia Mountain Suluo Village.

"How far is it from Ningzhou?"

"It is three days away from Ningzhou, and it belongs to the jurisdiction of Hutou Town." There are people who are familiar with the local geography to answer.

Cao Wenzhao shouted loudly: "Brothers, cheer up, we have arrived at Suoluo Village, and we can sleep as long as we want!" When everyone heard Cao Wenzhao's encouragement, their morale was lifted and they accelerated their march to Suoluozhai.

At this moment, only a cannon was heard, and the ambush soldiers of Gao Junshan were everywhere.

In fact, the Red Army friends and Ma Zhi'an's more than 10,000 cavalry had been in ambush in Suoluo Village for a long time, and they waited for Cao Wenzhao to take the bait.

Cao's army was not prepared for battle, and the team of more than 1,000 people was scattered by the cavalry of Gao Junshan at once. The hills and forests here are crisscrossed, the paths extend in all directions and twist and turn, and Liu Hongru's layout is to use superior forces to divide and surround Cao Wenzhao's cavalry, and annihilate them one by one.

"Grandma, a bear, it's just in time, Lao Tzu is looking for you, brothers rush with me!" Cao Wenzhao, who was in a state of mind, immediately cheered up when he saw the enemy, and he rode his horse to be the first to enter the enemy formation.

After all, Cao Wenzhao led a tired division, although the coach was super capable, the whole team was still rushed by others, and there were only more than 300 horsemen following Cao Wenzhao. He took the remnants to kill a bloody path, and he was wounded in many places, and finally broke out of the encirclement, and along a path, turned seven times and turned into a forest.

Cao Wenzhao asked again: "Where is this?" "No one could tell him, but he was reminded that he was still bleeding.

Cao Wenzhao still had three arrows shot by the rebels in his back, and there were seven or eight wounds all over his body, most of which were oozing blood, he endured the severe pain, and planned to dismount and bandage the wounds.

This ambush army is the main force of Gao Junshan, and has been following behind Cao Wenzhao to find fighters, and Cao Wenzhao, who was in a panic, actually killed back the way and crashed into Gao Junshan's pocket.

Cao Wenzhao was very heroic, and commanded three hundred Guanning iron cavalry with a gun and a horse to fight to the death with the righteous army.

Under the instigation of the commander, Cao Jun fought back against the rebels desperately, but several war horses running in front of him encountered a stumbling rope and rolled to the ground, and at the same time, thousands of feather arrows were shot from the woods on both sides, and more than a dozen cavalry on Cao Wenzhao's side fell to the ground.

Cao Wenzhao turned the horse's head and rushed towards the woods on the right, shouting as he rushed: "Grandma, a bear, all rush to Lao Tzu!" ”

The three hundred iron horsemen rushed into the woods like a torrent, and the rebels hiding behind the big trees scattered in all directions, dodging the rushing iron horses, Cao Wenzhao rushed into the woods and pounced, and his iron horsemen fell more than a dozen one after another.

Ping'an led the people and horses along the path in a circle, and also came to Cao Wenzhao, he patted the horse to see Cao Wenzhao, and said anxiously: "Master Cao, the forest is full of traps, we must not attack blindly." ”

"Grandma's bear!" Cao Wenzhao scolded, "If there is a kind, kill all these thieves with me!" After Cao Wenzhao finished speaking, he rode his horse to chase and kill the rebels without looking back.

The rebel army under the command of Gao Junshan, because of the weapons and equipment of the Pingliang Han Palace, and after half a year of rest and training, the combat effectiveness is incomparable with other rebel armies. In particular, the heavy cavalry of Gao Junshan can compete one-on-one with Cao Wenzhao's Guanning iron cavalry.

Cao Wenzhao's Guanning Iron Cavalry suffered heavy losses in many encounters with Gao Junshan, and the Iron Cavalry he now mastered, due to the vast majority of new soldiers, its combat effectiveness was far inferior to before.

Since Gao Junshan's strategic policy of dividing and encircling Cao Wenzhao had been realized, the cavalry of Gao Yigong, Red Army Friends, and Ma Zhi'an were also outflanked at this time.

Cao Wenzhao fought hard, and suddenly killed a large number of cavalry from all directions, and he immediately understood in his heart that the thieves were going to fight him in a decisive battle.

"Grandma, a bear! Today, I will not kill him in the dark, and I will not withdraw my troops. Cao Wenzhao scolded and stabbed a heavy cavalryman with a spear.

He can indeed fight, fighting left and right, stabbing seven or eight cavalrymen in a row, and no one dared to approach him for a while.

Although Cao Wenzhao was fierce, this battle was also very difficult for him. In the past, when chasing and killing thieves, one or two were always stabbed, and the rest would flee, and the team in front of them looked well-trained and capable of fighting tough battles, because the enemy was not fighting less and less, but fighting more and more. Cao Wenzhao was red-eyed, and he didn't see anyone who escaped.

Cao Wenzhao only cared about killing himself happily, and he didn't even know that there were only more than 20 cavalry left in the hundreds of cavalry behind him, and when he heard a pawn behind him, he shouted: "General save me!" He turned his head and saw that the battle situation was unusually tragic.

Someone in the rebel army heard the cry and reminded loudly: "This person is General Cao!" ”

It doesn't matter if this shout is made, what matters is that more heavy cavalry is recruited to come and fight hard. Cao Wenzhao interspersed left and right, killed more than a dozen people again, and finally lost his physical strength, unwilling to be captured, he threw his spear at a cavalryman who rushed over, and then pulled out his sword from his waist.

His whole body was cold, holding the cold hilt of the sword, remembering the scene in the dream when Emperor Chongzhen asked him to kill himself, thinking that today's death was fate, and the monarch had to die. He had no idea of survival, and slowly raised his sword, and he was going to live his life.

Cao Wenzhao didn't want to steal his life, but some people didn't want him to die.

Just as Cao Wenzhao raised his sword, a blue light shot out, interrupting his sword, only to hear a "clang" sound of half the sword falling to the ground, and all he was holding in his hand was a broken sword.

Cao Wenzhao devoted himself to the belief of death, and he didn't expect his sword to break suddenly, and when he did a complete action of wiping his neck, he realized that what he was holding was just a broken sword.

He was shocked: "What a master, how can he have such miraculous skills?" ”

When the thought of death passes, the desire to live will raise its head again.

Cao Wenzhao is a mortal, the sword fell to the ground and shocked him into a cold sweat, and his whole body fell weakly under the horse, several fast knights dismounted and captured him alive, Gao Junshan immediately asked Cao Wenzhao to bandage his wounds.

Li Busi immediately sent someone to shout in front of the battle: "Cao Wenzhao has been captured alive!" ”。

With this shout, Cao Jun had no intention of fighting again, so that the rebels surrounded by layers were disarmed, and Cao Wenzhao's Guanning Iron Cavalry ceased to exist in history.

In the cleaning of the battlefield, Cao's army lost 576 people, 458 people were captured, and the rebels lost 852 people. Compared with the battle with Cao Wenzhao in Zhenyuan, it has made great progress. In that battle, Cao's army suffered 1,003 casualties, and the righteous army suffered 3,060 losses, and Cao Wenzhao retreated.

When the rebel brothers heard that Cao Wenzhao had been arrested, they all came to Cao Wenzhao to take revenge, because Cao Wenzhao had killed too many rebel brothers.

The military camp on the high mountain, the big banner of "Chuang" erected high, fluttered in the cold wind of March, making a rattling sound.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, it is Gao Junshan who is sitting on the chair of the Taishi, he is wearing a red robe, solemn and dignified, Tian Wenju and Liu Hongru stand on both sides, Liu Fangliang, Gao Yigong, Red Army friends, and Li Busi are separated from each other.

Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Feng Ju, Ping'an and other four main prisoners of war were tied up and put into the big tent.

Cao Wenzhao, who took off his armor, was wearing a cyan regular uniform, with a pair of iron mesh boots on his feet, although he was injured, he could not lose his momentum as a soldier, he straightened his chest and walked into the big tent of Gao Jun Mountain, he walked in front of the four people, and when he saw Gao Jun Mountain sitting on the Taishi chair, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart, "This person seems to be the one who shoots blue light." When he saw the dagger that Gao Junshan was wearing, he was completely sure that this was the master who saved his life.

Cao Wenzhao identified it carefully, and recognized Gao Junshan as the general who was stalking with him in Taohuawu, Taohuawu battle, he and this general seem to have something in common in their hearts, the two are equal in strength, that is a chess opponent, will meet a good talent, fight to the end, each other is obviously merciful, and there is a heroic spirit of heroes.

Today, this person saved his life again, and Cao Wenzhao admired Gao Junshan even more, but he couldn't show his heart, after all, he was a defeated general.

Outside the big tent, it was crowded with angry rebel brothers, muttering about the head sacrifice flag for Cao Wenzhao.

"Kill Cao Wenzhao!"

"Kill Cao Wenzhao!"

"My eldest brother was killed by him, and I want to avenge my eldest brother!"

"My second uncle also let Cao Wenzhao kill him, and I will also take revenge!"

"I'm going to take revenge too!"

"I'm going to take revenge too!"

……

The escort of Cao Wenzhao and the four people was the people of the Gao Junshan personal guards, and the captain of the guard, Zhuang Youfu, asked Cao Wenzhao and the four of them to kneel, Cao Wenzhao also heard the shouts outside, and he said without fear: "Grandma is a bear, if you want to kill, you will kill, and you can't do it if you want Lao Tzu to kneel!" ”
