Cao Shuo led his troops to the east, leaving only footprints of horses and men along the way.

When Zhang Xiu arrived at the place where the fight took place, all he saw was dead bodies and snow-stained red with blood.

"General, I found General Hu!" The Guardian rode up to his side and said with his fists clenched.

"Where?" Zhang Xiu asked.

"It's not far away." The guard said: "General Hu was killed in battle, and his head was also cut off. ”

Ordering the guards to lead the way, Zhang Xiu came to Hu Che'er's body.

Seeing the corpse, he slowly closed his eyes and sighed leisurely.

Hu Che'er was the first fierce general under his command, but he didn't expect to die in the snow.

"Pursue Cao Zirong, live to see people and dead to see corpses!" Clenching his fists, Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth and said.

Three thousand embroidery troops chased after the horseshoe prints of Cao Shuo and the others leaving.

After walking not far, someone reminded Zhang Xiu: "General, the cavalry is moving too fast, and the infantry can't keep up!" ”

Glancing back, Zhang Xiu shouted: "The cavalry followed me to pursue Cao Zirong, and ordered the infantry to speed up!" ”

Turning the car in a daze, Zhang Xiu was angry in his heart, and he didn't think about why Cao Shuo went east, and he didn't have time to think that if the infantry army couldn't keep up, he and the cavalry might be wiped out.

In Wuyin City, Cao Cao was accompanied by Xun You and others to the city gate, and tens of thousands of Cao troops were getting ready to go.

"Qi Cao Gong, Sima Yi bring it!" A guard came up to him and clenched his fists.

Cao Cao said, "Please come over." ”

The guard stepped back, and after a while someone came with him.

The guard was followed by a young officer of seventeen or eighteen years old.

He was wearing the armor of a school captain, with red lips and white teeth, and a heroic spirit flowed from between his eyebrows.

"Sima Yi knocks on Cao Gong!" In front of Cao Cao, Sima Yi bowed and saluted.

"Zhongda is exempt!" Cao Cao raised his hand: "Gongda recommended you to me, saying that you can be sent to pick up Cao Zirong and bring him back to Xudu." Are you sure? ”

"How sure is Cao Gong going to be?" Sima Yi asked.

"How many percent do you have?"

"Not a single percent!"

Sima Yi was not sure at all, Cao Cao's face suddenly turned bad, and he turned his head to look at Xun You.

"Although I'm not sure, Childe is ten percent." Without waiting for Xun You to speak, Sima Yi said: "Answering Gongzi is just adding some soldiers to him, and it must be Gongzi who will take us back to Xudu!" Since Childe is leading everyone, of course I won't have a chance at all! ”

As soon as he explained this, Cao Cao's depressed mood suddenly improved a lot.

"Zhongda praised him too much." Cao Cao smiled: "Lead the troops to respond, of course you take him back to Xudu, how can he take you in turn?" ”

"Childe has been in and out of Wancheng twice, and I asked myself if I could do it." Sima Yi said: "This time, he led Zhang Xiu away again, creating an excellent opportunity for the army to break through, and it is impossible for others to do it!" ”

Cao Cao was in a good mood and asked him, "How old is Zhongda this year?" ”

"Back to Cao Gong, just turned twenty."

"It's the year of the weak crown." Cao Cao asked again, "Is there a marriage match?" ”

"Married to the daughter of Liyi Ling."

"Liyi Order? Isn't it Zhang Wang? ”

"Exactly!"

"Zhang Wang will pick a son-in-law. With you, a fast son-in-law who rides the dragon, he is really a blessing! ”

Sima Yi clenched his fists and bowed, but did not dare to speak.

"Allocate 500 soldiers and horses to receive Cao Zirong." Cao Cao said: "Yuan Rang and Zilian opened the way ahead, and the rest of the generals led their headquarters to defend the Chinese army, and the army went out of the city!" ”

Xiahoudun and Cao Hong rode at the front of the team, while the rest of the generals guarded Cao Cao's side, and the army slowly and orderly drove out of Wuyin.

At the same time, Cao Shuo rushed east with six or seven hundred soldiers.

Wei Tu glanced back: "Childe, Zhang Xiu is so tight!" The cavalry is about to catch up with us! ”

"Is there only cavalry?" Cao Shuo asked.

"There really are only cavalry." Wei Tu replied.

"They chased after them so closely, it was not a way to run away with their heads bored." Cao Shuo shouted: "When the enemy army is near, turn back and kill them." ”

The snow was thick, and although the soldiers were running, the speed could not be as fast as when there was no snow.

War horses run in the snow, and they will be affected somewhat.

After about a stick of incense, Wei Tu shouted: "Childe, Zhang Xiu is very close to us!" ”

"How many steps?" Cao Shuotou didn't ask in a loud voice.

"Three hundred steps!"

"Tell me in a hundred steps!"

Continue to move forward, and after a while, Wei Tu shouted: "Childe, there are only a hundred steps left!" ”

"Tell me when you're fifty steps!" Cao Shuo returned to Weitu first, and then shouted to the soldiers: "Line up in the middle of the march, and hold all the weapons tightly for me!" ”

Six or seven hundred Cao troops changed arrays as they ran, and soon formed a moving phalanx.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu, who led the troops to chase after him, was also puzzled in his heart.

If he was running for his life, Cao Shuo definitely didn't have the heart to change the array.

Apparently he was planning to turn back and fight.

"We're about to catch up with the enemy!" Zhang Xiu shouted: "Kill Cao Zirong, seal thousands of households and reward thousands of gold!" ”

The three thousand embroidered troops shouted in unison, urging the horses forward faster.

"Childe, it's only fifty steps!" Wei Tu shouted to Cao Shuo.

"Slow down, queue stay!" Cao Shuo shouted his voice and gave orders to the soldiers.

The enemy was behind him, but he never gave the order to turn back, and the soldiers did not understand what he wanted to do.

Slowing down, every Cao Jun clenched their weapons, and many people's palms were dripping with sweat.

"It's only twenty steps!" Glancing back again, Wei Tu shouted nervously.

"The cavalry continues to move forward, the infantry turns back, and the lance points forward!" Cao Shuo shouted: "Array! ”

Five or six hundred infantry immediately turned back.

They had already lined up in the run, and after turning back, the big formation was still the same, and one by one the long lances pointed at the oncoming cavalry of Zhang Xiujun.

At the same time as Cao's army turned, the cavalry led by Zhang Xiu had already rushed to the front.

They turned around suddenly, and the lance appeared in front of Zhang Xiujun's eyes like a forest, and the cavalry galloping on their horses suddenly panicked.

They wanted to restrain their horses, but they were too close to do so!

The lance forest composed of hundreds of Cao troops pointed directly at the cavalry of Zhang Xiu's army.

The horses galloping on the snow couldn't contain their momentum and crashed into Cao's military formation.

The soldiers of the Cao army held a lance in one hand and a shield in the other hand and put their shoulders behind the shield.

With the roar of the impact and the screams of men and horses, the cavalry in the front row fell under the spears of the stabbing guns.

As soon as the front fell, the back surged up.

After all, the number of Cao troops in the formation was not large, and the lance in their hands was still shorter than the spear specially used to deal with the cavalry, and it was difficult for the formation to achieve the effect of a large spear formation.

Seeing that the phalanx was about to be scattered, fortunately, there were not many enemy cavalry.

The last cavalry rushed into the array, and there were still two columns of Cao troops in the back row of the phalanx that did not move.
