Chapter 2: Wise and courageous retreat
However, it was said that Cao Ren and Li Dian were leading 2,000 cavalry to gallop towards Fancheng at this time. Fancheng was captured by Guan Yu, Cao Ren was already disheartened, regretted not at the beginning, and was slowly returning to Cao Ying, Li Dian stayed in the city to report to the spies, Liu Bei only left Zhao Yun to lead a thousand troops to defend the city, but he returned to Xinye with Guan Zhang and others.
When Cao Ren heard this, he expected that Zhao Yun would not be able to hold Fancheng with a thousand lonely troops, so he discussed with Li Dian to turn over and attack Fancheng at night.
A rapid forward, when the night is getting deeper, 10,000 Cao soldiers have arrived at the place of Fancheng five miles, Cao Ren ordered the soldiers under his command to rest for a while, wait for a breath, then take advantage of the autumn rain, a drum to Fancheng to go, Cao Ren has already made a plan in his heart, lure that Zhao Yun out of the city, as long as Zhao Yun is dragged down, his own troops are more generals, and Fancheng can be defeated in a short time, and then 10,000 people will defend Fancheng, you can report to the prime minister, increase the army and then cut down Xinye!
When the outline of Fancheng gradually became clear, Cao Ren, who led the cavalry to charge forward, noticed that the situation seemed to be different, and what appeared in his eyes was not a silent city, but a row of torches under the city wall, as if someone was waiting here.
"Could it be that Zhao Zilong already knows a certain strategy?" Thinking of this, Cao Ren's heart sank slightly, but as soon as he thought about it, he felt that there were more than 10,000 soldiers under his command, even if Zhao Yun was aware of it, he was not afraid, so he clamped the horse's belly between his legs and urged his mount to march towards the city with all his might.
When he got closer, Cao Ren saw that the row of torches was fifty cavalrymen in bright armor, all holding guns in their right hands and torches in their left, with cold faces. The person at the head is very mountain Zhao Zilong, but a burly young man about eighteen years old, this person is wearing bronze armor, no helmet, blue cloak, holding a broad-bladed short knife in each hand, majestic, with a sneer, Cao Ren looked at the rain on his body, and knew that he had been here for a long time, somehow, a trace of coolness was born in his heart.
"Who is coming, quickly tell Zhao Yun to go out of the city and surrender, you can avoid death!" He had scruples in his heart, but Cao Ren couldn't lose his momentum, the young general in front of him, he had fought against Liu Bei several times but had never seen it, so he stepped forward and shouted, thinking in his heart that if this young man missed the cowardice, he would be able to meet the emptiness of the garrison in Fancheng.
"I am the righteous son of Xuande Gong, Liu Feng! I will be born today, and I will let you and others lose fear when they hear my name in the future! Feng has been waiting here for a long time, Cao Zixiao, come and die! ”
Liu Feng replied loudly, and at the same time raised his knife and pointed directly at Cao Ren's door, without showing the slightest timidity, which made Cao Ren taken aback, and became suspicious of the statement that there were only 1,000 defenders in the city.
"Huangkou Xiaoer, why should General Zixiao go out in person!"
As soon as Liu Feng's words fell, Cao Ren jumped out with a gun and rushed straight to Liu Feng. Liu Feng knew in his heart that he was not famous at all, Cao Ren would naturally not surrender himself to accept the challenge, and the most direct way to accumulate fame was to pick the other party's generals off the horse, feeling the fiery gaze of Cao Jun and the nervous breathing of the fifty horsemen behind him, Liu Feng knew that it was time for him to win the first drop of blood on the stage of the Three Kingdoms.
Just after thinking about it, the general has raised his gun to Liu Feng approached, Liu Feng has learned in his life, is the ability to kill people after two thousand years, naturally more effective than the general's unskilled moves, not to mention Liu Feng's body is very brave, the two of them only together, Liu Feng almost shot down the general's spear, turned the horse's head, the general's move has already missed the cowardice, Liu Feng set up the spear with a knife, and the other knife wiped the neck in an instant.
"The little general is mighty!" Seeing that Liu Fengqi was victorious, he easily killed a Cao Ying general, and the fifty horsemen had a breath of turbidity in their hearts and shouted in unison, but the generals behind Cao Ren looked at each other, and no one had the courage to take the initiative to fight.
"Cao Jun is no one? Such people who are not skilled in their arts, do not come again, let me create and kill again! ”
Liu Feng's words can be described as heart-wrenching, Cao Ren originally wanted to take down Liu Feng, take advantage of the situation to cover up the past, Fan Cheng was at his fingertips, but at this time, he was unfavorable, and he became anxious in his heart, and he was about to fight Liu Feng in person with his weapons.
"The general can't, wait for me to go and fight him, the general can carefully observe the reality of Fancheng, Zhao Zilong is not a reckless person, he has not yet appeared, our army cannot rashly attack the city."
Seeing that Cao Ren was about to fight in person, Li Dian hurriedly stopped him, and after dissuading him, he carried a long knife and faced Liu Feng.
"Li Dian came to receive the teaching!" As he spoke, the blade had arrived, as soon as Li Dian made a move, Liu Feng knew that Li Dian's strength was by no means comparable to that of the unknown general before, a steel knife danced with a tiger, Liu Feng parried for several rounds, peeked back at the city wall, and hurriedly turned the horse's head and ran in the direction of the city gate.
Seeing this, Li Dian only drove his horse to chase after him, and followed Liu Feng's fifty horsemen at this time, but they also turned their horses and withdrew to Fancheng.
"Order, follow Man Cheng, if Man Cheng defeats Liu Feng, he will attack Fancheng!" Cao Ren saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he hurriedly issued a military order, and he took the lead and went to Fancheng.
Liu Feng fought and retreated, luring Li Dian to the city gate, and Cao Ren had already passed the place where he had set up before. Seeing this situation, Liu Feng parried Li Dian again, and turned to attack when he landed, and killed Li Dian with a double knife rainstorm pear blossom, Li Dian couldn't deal with it, and immediately stabbed his right arm, and the blood flowed.
"Where do you want to go here?" Liu Feng shouted at this time with his back facing the sky, Li Dian finally realized that he had fallen into Liu Feng's plan to lure the enemy deeper, and when he looked back, Cao Ren had led the army to the front, and he was crying bitterly in his heart, and he was busy retreating back and forth.
Liu Feng's shouting did not fall, countless torches suddenly lit up on the wall of Fancheng, hundreds of arrows fell from the sky, Cao Ren led the soldiers to dodge, more than 100 dead and wounded, chaotic, a wave of arrow rain just passed, the second wave came strongly, only a few breaths, Cao Ren lost hundreds of people.
Cao Ren looked up at the chaos of the army, and could vaguely see the stars in the woods behind Fancheng City, as if countless fires were lit up, and then remembered that Qian had been repeatedly attacked by Liu Bei in the past few days, where was there still a little thought left to take Fancheng?
Just when Cao Ren was secretly screaming in his heart, Li Dian desperately escaped from Liu Feng's hands, shouting: "General Zixiao, withdraw the army quickly!" Behind Li Dian was Liu Feng, who was chasing after him, and behind Liu Feng, Zhao Yun, who was dressed in silver armor, was already faintly recognizable.
At this point, Cao Ren couldn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Li Dian and ordered the army to be withdrawn.
