Chapter 78: The sins suffered must be made up

The momentum of the cavalry charge passed, and a loud roar came from the Cao army array: "Push!" ”

Hundreds of people shouted in unison, shouldering their shields and pushing forward against the enemy cavalry.

Many Zhang Xiujun and his men and horses were overthrown to the ground.

Hundreds of Cao troops swung their lances and stabbed the fallen enemies and horses as they advanced.

"Childe, their infantry is here!" Cai Ji pointed into the distance.

At the end of the white horizon, there was a black oppression of people.

From afar, I don't know how many came.

"Withdraw." Cao Shuo shouted.

Cai Ji raised his voice and shouted: "Childe has an order, the whole army retreats!" ”

The order was given, and Cao Jun did not like to fight and retreated.

Zhang Xiujun, who was pressed and beaten, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When they wanted to pursue, they found that in a charge, the cavalry of three or four hundred men lost two or three hundred horses!

The cavalry without war horses is far inferior to the infantry in combat effectiveness.

On the blood-stained snow, there were many corpses of horses and people.

Some of the wounded Zhang Xiujun lay in the deep snow and wailed in pain, waiting for the rescue of his companions.

It was only at this time that Zhang Xiu understood that when the Cao army launched a counterattack, the target was not people, but their war horses!

The cavalry lost their horses and could not pose any threat to Cao Shuo.

Seeing Cao Jun withdraw, Zhang Xiu's face turned pale.

"General, what should I do?" The lieutenant who fought with him asked.

"Seal the road to Wuyin and cut off Cao Zirong's return trip!" Zhang Xiu gritted her teeth and said.

The lieutenant was about to leave when a fast horse came in the distance.

In front of Zhang Xiu, the cavalry panted and said, "General, it's not good!" Cao Cao led his troops out of the city, but our army was defeated and was broken through by him! ”

Knowing that Cao Cao had broken through and left, Zhang Xiu was annoyed.

slammed a punch into the thigh, and he roared: "Pass the order, seal Cao Zirong's way back to Xudu, I want him to die!" ”

He led his troops east until dark.

After two days of snowfall, the snow gradually lightened.

Cao Shuo picked up two small snowflakes: "The snow is going to stop." ”

"It will snow for two more days, and the road will not be able to walk." Wei Tu, who followed behind him, said.

"If it really snows for two more days, we'll be good to go." Cao Shuo said: "The snow is too thick, and it is even more difficult for us to pursue the enemy. Heavy snow will quickly cover our footprints, leaving them untraceable. It's good now, every step of the way is clear. ”

Wei Tu was stunned: "Then what should I do?" ”

"It is estimated that my father has left Wuyin." Cao Shuo said: "If you go down with the order, turn around immediately, and find a place to camp in the middle of the night!" ”

The soldiers then reversed course.

Cao Shuo asked Qin Nu, "Is it cold or not?" ”

Qin Nu shook his head.

"You got Hu Che'er's head, should you let me get something tonight?" He asked shyly.

"What do you want to do?" Qin Nu suddenly became alert.

Blinking his eyes twice, Cao Shuo said: "What I promised has been fulfilled, but what you promised has not been fulfilled!" ”

Qin Nu asked, "What did I promise?" ”

Getting closer, Cao Shuo dishonestly hugged her waist: "You don't have to cheat on good things." The snow is white and the night is clear, it is a good time to linger and lose your soul! ”

"Get your hands on! So many people are watching. Pulling his hand away, Qin Nu's cheeks flushed inadvertently.

She just reminded many people to watch, and Cao Shuo suddenly understood that there must be a drama at night!

"That's right!" He grinned: "If you want to hug it, you have to wait until you set up camp and cuddle in the bed!" ”

"It's not serious!" Qin Nu rolled his eyes: "I can't forget that little thing when I fight." ”

According to Cao Shuo's temper, he should have teased Qin Nu a few more words at this time.

Worried that the teasing would be too much and the good things that were about to happen would be ruined, Cao Shuo smiled and didn't say anything.

"That's a thief when you laugh!" Qin Nu rolled his eyes and turned his flushed face to the side.

"There's something good I can't laugh at anymore?" Cao Shuo said: "Could it be that you still let me cry into the tent?" ”

"Dare to enter my tent, beware of the sword merciless!" Qin Nu snorted.

Although she said it harshly, her voice was very soft.

Cao Shuo grinned, and his heart was already clear.

When the camp is settled, Qin Nu must be going to change from a girl to a sister-in-law!

After walking on the snow for more than two hours, I saw that in the second half of the night, the snow had completely stopped.

Through the reflection of the snow, Cao Shuo saw a small hillside not far away.

He gestured to the hillside: "Camp on the hill tonight." ”

Hundreds of people turned to the hillside.

From a distance, I looked at the white slope of the hill, and when I got to it, I found that the forest was dense.

Snow fell for three days in a row, and the branches of the trees were bent down by the snow.

The gap between the trees is small, and the foot of the mountain is fine, but a little bit up, you can't see where the road is at all.

After observing the surrounding situation, Cao Shuo found that although the slope was not steep, it was covered with snow, and it was impossible to tell where the field was and where there were pits.

"You guys chop up some branches and make sticks." He instructed a few Cao soldiers: "Pound the ground and open the way ahead." ”

Six Cao soldiers rushed forward, each cutting down a branch and quickly cutting it into a stick, poking at the snow and walking in front.

"Tell the people behind you to follow their footprints." Cao Shuo instructed: "Walk at the end and smooth out the footprints." ”

The slopes of the hill were not steep, but there was a thick layer of snow on the ground, and there were trees along the way, through which it was impossible for a war horse to pass through it.

Cao Shuo and the others and more than 100 cavalrymen could only dismount and walk.

On the way up the mountain, Qin Nu said: "The people behind have wiped the footprints flat, and Zhang Xiu can also find us, so isn't it too much?" ”

"How can it be too much?" Cao Shuo said: "Although Zhang Xiu will find here, there is snow everywhere, and now it is cold and freezing, and the snow will not completely melt without seven or eight days." Although the footprints could not be wiped thoroughly, they could not judge which road we were following up the mountain. There will inevitably be depressions on the slopes of the mountain, and if they accidentally fall into the snow pit and kill a few of them when they go up the mountain, won't we have to kill a few more people? ”

"Do you think killing people is enjoyable?" Qin Nu asked.

"I'm not a butcher, how can I enjoy it?" Cao Shuo said: "I don't want to kill anyone who shouldn't be killed." Damn, the process of killing them really makes me feel comfortable. ”

Qin Nu said: "If you don't have a serious attitude all day long, no one will ever think that you will kill people so calmly!" ”

"Wouldn't it be bad to kill too many people?" Cao Shuo asked with a grin.

"I don't know." Qin Nu said lightly: "I live to kill people. ”

"We have both done a great deal." Cao Shuo said: "I think it's better to accumulate more virtue from now on." ”

"Is there still a lot of virtue?" Qin Nu asked blankly.

"We've killed so many people, we have to make up for it."

"How are you going to make it up?"

Cao Shuo said seriously: "If you have a few more children, you can fill a few fates." ”

Qin Nu's head was suddenly covered with black lines.
