The second time, Di Hanchen besieged Cao Ren
After Di Qing sent out Xue Li, he divided the troops into three routes, and let Hua Rong and Yang Zhi lead 2,000 soldiers and horses respectively to cover Cao Ren in the south and north, and he himself was facing the enemy head-on.
After Cao Ren discovered Di Qing's movements, he also began to defend closely, and then sent out a scout horse to see if Di Qing had any other movements. As soon as the horse was scattered, he was intercepted by Hua Rong, and Cao Ren knew that Di Qing must have other actions, but he didn't know what this action was, so he became more cautious and guarded the camp.
In less than two days, an envoy sent by Cao Cao arrived at Cao Ren's camp and told Cao Ren that Di Qing's men had sent a cavalry to attack Cao Cao's grain route, and asked him why he had not found out. Cao Ren realized that he had misunderstood the past two days, so he hurriedly explained to the envoy and sent the envoy away.
After sending the envoy away, Cao Ren was also a little annoyed, he didn't expect Di Qing to be so bold as to send cavalry to attack Cao Cao's rear. Let's not talk about whether it can succeed or not, just because of Cao Cao's prestige in the battle of Wuchao, few people dare to pay attention to Cao Cao's grain and grass.
But Di Qing just did it, Cao Ren didn't think at all, this had something to do with him being a cautious person, he thought that Di Qing would directly attack him, and he also thought that Di Qing might choose a favorable terrain close to Gushi on the detour in Tatexian County, and form a corner with Liu Bei, but he didn't expect that he would dare to send troops to attack Cao Cao.
After calming down a little, Cao Ren began to think of countermeasures. Zhang Yi is in Yangzhou, there must not be many cavalry, he sent troops over to harass and force himself to retreat, then he will not retreat, what can Di Qing do with himself?
After thinking about it, Cao Ren's mind stabilized and began to think about how to fight back. Di Qing san copied, no matter what, he had to break this encirclement, otherwise he would be too passive.
So he thought about the Hua Rong troops in the south and launched an attack. Cao Ren didn't lead the team by himself, and Cao Cao also arranged for him to be deputy generals, Zhu Ling and Cao Xiu.
Zhu Ling and Cao Xiu, one is a general, and the other is a Qianli horse of the Cao family.
Zhu Ling was originally Yuan Shao's general, and was later sent to support Cao Cao, and after comparing the two lords, he found that Cao Cao was much stronger than Yuan Shao! So he stayed, and since then he has stayed under Cao Cao. He is usually in charge, but because when Liu Bei killed Che Zhou and occupied Xuzhou, Zhu Ling did not beat Liu Bei and was blamed by Cao Cao. So now he is under Cao Ren and he is his deputy general.
Cao Xiu is still very young, and more than ten years ago, he was called the Cao family's Qianli Horse. However, this sentence should not be a compliment, but that he was able to travel thousands of miles to run, this is an adjective, and the situation should be more descriptive than the facts. However, Cao Cao was also very optimistic about him, a small child could run thousands of miles, so he was arranged to study with Cao Pi. How old was Cao Pi more than ten years ago? It's just a little over ten years old, Cao Xiu and Cao Pi are about the same, and it's a bit extraordinary to think about it!
"Zhu Ling, you take 3,000 men and capture the camp of Huarong in the south. Cao Xiu led a thousand men to guard the camp, and Di Qing was stopped by me. ”
Zhu Ling led his troops to attack Huarong's camp, and 3,000 soldiers and horses attacked Huarong's camp.
Faced with Zhu Ling's sudden attack, Hua Rong was somewhat caught off guard. However, his reaction was quick, and many of his defenses were arranged in advance, and although he was caught off guard, he still counterattacked quickly.
"Formation! Don't let the enemy rush in! Archers shoot, attack the Cao soldiers who are carrying the crashing wood, and don't let them get near the camp gate! Hua Rong commanded and followed the archery. Hua Rong's archery skills are very good, but I don't know if it was because the virtual character made a mistake when he became a real person, or because the strength of the historical celebrity who summoned him to kill was too low, and his force value was only 93 points. But in any case, the force of 93 points is not small! One arrow killed one Cao soldier, and another killed a colonel (junior officers, Dubo, Tun generals, etc.).
Hua Rong and Zhu Ling were fighting on both sides, Di Qing and Yang Zhi of course also found out, after all, they were only more than ten miles away from Hua Rong's camp, and the killing was in full swing here, and the shouting and killing over there were heard together.
Di Qing immediately came over to save Hua Rong, and Yang Zhi directly attacked Cao Ren's camp.
Yang Zhi stormed Cao Ren's camp, but was blocked by Cao Xiu, and the two sides also turned into a tug-of-war. The defensive facilities of Cao Ren's camp were even better than those of Huarong camp, and Cao Xiu relied on these defensive facilities to firmly block Yang Zhi from the outside of the camp.
Di Qing directly loaded it with Cao Ren, and Cao Ren took a thousand people to block Di Qing's more than 2,000 people. Di Qing couldn't help laughing, if you have something to rely on, it's understandable to fight less and more. You are on the grass of a flat river, you fight more with less, you look down on me too much?
Di Qing commanded the army to surround Cao Ren, and wanted to eat Cao Ren in one bite. Cao Ren's soldiers are experienced in a hundred battles, but Di Qing's soldiers are not bad! After surrounding, the damage ratio is 1:1, you die one, I die one.
Cao Ren watched his soldiers continue to fall, and there were more and more enemy troops around him, and he couldn't calm down a little! He really didn't expect that Di Qing's subordinates would be similar to his own soldiers. Although the people on both sides fell the same, they had few soldiers! Originally, the ratio of soldiers on both sides was 1:2, but if 500 people fell, the ratio would have become 1:3.
Seeing that the balance of victory tilted towards Di Qing, Cao Ren was also anxious. He immediately made a decision to break through, otherwise he himself would have to be here.
After holding on for two hours, Cao Ren fought out of Di Qing's encirclement, looking at the only four or five hundred people left around him, Cao Ren couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
In the past, he was too arrogant and underestimated the heroes of the world, this Di Qing was not famous, he only had a brave name before, but now it seems that this person's command ability is also good! And Zhang Yi's soldiers turned out to be very powerful? This made Cao Ren also feel deeply helpless, they still knew too little about Zhang Yi's power.
After Cao Ren withdrew, he immediately sent a letter to Zhu Ling, asking him to stop the attack and return to the camp. He took the lead in returning to the camp and helped Cao Xiu repel Yang Zhi's attack, and then after Zhu Ling returned to the camp, Cao Ren counted the soldiers and found that he could use less than 3,000 soldiers.
After losing 2,000 people in the First World War, although there were 1,000 wounded soldiers, this 1,000 wounded soldiers were the most troublesome, and at least a few hundred people were needed to take care of them.
After defeating Cao Ren, Di Qing did not continue to attack, but cleaned up the battlefield, buried the corpses, brought the wounded soldiers back to the camp, repaired them, and prepared to fight again in the coming day!
