Cao Ren lost the battle, and immediately asked Zhu Ling to rectify the defense, let Cao Xiu treat the wounded soldiers, he himself wrote a letter to Cao Cao, wrote a military report to Cao Cao, and said that he would definitely block Di Qing in Tatexian County.

Cao Ren's military report had not yet been delivered to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's side was also attacked.

In the morning, Cao Cao began his routine siege. He will have a lot of generals, so he arranges a general to lead the headquarters to attack the city one day.

The generals of this era were actually similar to private soldiers, so the generals were very important, because these soldiers generally listened to their generals. Their recruitment, training, command, salaries, pensions, and bounties were basically handled by the generals. Cao Cao also went through several military reforms, but there was still a large part of the soldiers who maintained this form.

The general who is besieging the city today is called Xu Ding. This man is not famous, but his brother is famous! His brother's name is Xu Chu!

It is recorded in the history books that when Xu Chu defected to Cao Cao, he defected to Cao Cao with his brother Xu Ding, Xu Chu became Cao Cao's bodyguard because of his high military force, and Xu Ding became a foreign minister and led troops to fight. Compared with his younger brother, Xu Ding's fame is far worse, but his ability to fight is not as bad as recorded in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", Xu Ding's last official is General Zhenwei, and Li Dian Pound's official position is the same, and he was promoted because of his merits.

At the beginning, Xu Chu brought a lot of people from the same clan, and Xu Chu had a lot of people of the same clan, "Three Kingdoms" recorded that there are thousands of clans, which is the second most in this book, and the first is Lei Xu, and the number of clans has reached 50,000. How did the family and Haoqiang come about? That's how these clans held them up.

Therefore, Xu Chu is from Haoqiang, Xu Ding is also from Haoqiang, and most of his subordinates are from his clan. Therefore, Xu Ding's command, his troops will listen, and they are brave in battle, so they can make many military exploits.

Xu Ding got up early in the morning, and asked the soldiers to prepare, and as soon as the time came, he launched the siege.

When Xue Li arrived at the battlefield, Xu Ding had already attacked for almost an hour and was about to retire to rest. This was a good time, but Xue Rengui didn't attack immediately, but waited a little. He came sneaking with the army, just a pipeline, not very tired, and resting or not not affecting the ability. However, he decided to take a break in order to weaken the enemy even more.

Now that Xu Dingbu is fighting fiercely, he still has the fighting spirit, and he will definitely be fierce in the event of an attack. And if they wait for a while to rest and relax, if they encounter an attack at this time, even if they have the fighting spirit, their bodies will not slow down. It's like running, you can run 10,000 meters, but after you've run 5,000 meters, it's hard to finish the remaining 5,000 meters with a little rest.

Therefore, Xue Li waited until Xu Ding led the army to learn a cup of tea, immediately mounted his horse, beckoned the cavalry to line up, and then said loudly: "Now is the time to make meritorious contributions, all the kings encourage themselves!" ”

"I should charge ahead, and you will charge with me!" Xue Li shouted, and then rushed to Xu Dingbu first.

"Kill!" The cavalry behind Xue Li also followed with a loud shout, they had been training for more than a year, and of course they also wanted to make meritorious contributions. Now that this opportunity has come, of course they rushed forward with Xue Li.

Xu Ding was taken aback when he heard the shouting of killing, he looked over and felt that his soul was not possessed. Cavalry! Brigade of cavalry! When his soldiers were officially exhausted, and at this time they were also under the onslaught of cavalry, how could he not be afraid? He struggled in his heart, he wanted to run away with them, but at this time escaping would only wipe out the whole army, and they were still a mile or two away from the camp, and they couldn't run back at all.

And even if you run back, it's useless, that camp is just a simple camp, and all the siege troops are stationed in it. Cao Cao's promise was next to a river bank in Qisi County, more than ten miles away. It's not that Cao Cao doesn't want to put the big camp under Gushi City, but there is no good place to camp around Gushi City, and if it is stationed under Gushi City, it will be much more difficult to transport grain.

The terrain around Gushi is very complicated, and Xue Rengui has climbed a lot of mountains and crossed a lot of rivers when he came to sneak attack, and ordinary cavalry really can't do it. That's why when Xue Li's cavalry rushed down from the hill, Xu Ding was so panicked. He didn't think that there would be cavalry coming to charge the battle, and if he did, he wouldn't choose to rest here, but went back to the camp to rest.

After struggling, Xu Ding shouted loudly: "Formation!" ”

He can't escape, he has to resist! In this way, they can get a little longer, and then wait for the friendly troops in the camp to come to the rescue, even if they don't come, they will send someone to inform Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will send cavalry to rescue them.

However, Xue Li didn't intend to let them wait for reinforcements, he took off his bow and arrows, and shot arrows at Xu Ding's military formation. The cavalry behind him, who had also been trained for a long time, also shot arrows at Xu Dingjun's formation. Zhang Yi's cavalry all had the recommended stirrups, which were two stirrups made of ropes, which helped these cavalrymen to immediately open their bows with only their legs.

Very unexpected! Really unexpected! Xu Ding didn't expect to meet cavalry who could shoot arrows immediately in the south, and the cavalry who could shoot the bow immediately were elite, generally Hu people could shoot the bow, and the Han people who could shoot the bow were all highly skilled and horseback riding people since childhood. There are only a few people among the princes who have such troops, Liangzhou Zhubu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and the rest of the princes are simply impossible.

So seeing that this cavalry could shoot arrows, Xu Ding was really surprised! He even forgot to look for a shield, and then an arrow slammed into his chest. At this time, Xu Dingcai believed that the other party would really shoot an arrow immediately.

Xu Ding also wanted to remind his subordinates to release arrows, but he couldn't open his mouth anymore. The body fell backwards, and there was darkness in front of him.

Xu Ding was killed in a round of arrows just now, and his soldiers were not much better, and they were also shot down in a large area, suffering heavy casualties.

The soldiers looked for Xu Ding one after another, and when one of the soldiers saw Xu Ding dead beside him, he couldn't help but shout loudly: "The general is dead!" ”

This sound directly made his soldiers angry, Xu Ding was their relatives, they rushed towards the cavalry angrily, and the anger overwhelmed their minds, forgetting that they were not the opponents of the cavalry.

Xue Li was very happy to see that Cao Jun had lost his mind, which allowed him to defeat this Cao army as soon as possible, and then retreat early.

"Kill!"

Xue Li brandished his spear and immediately entered the Cao army, rushing left and right, there was no enemy at all, and he directly killed the Cao army's army formation.
