Chapter 192: Ambush
Outside Yexian County.
Zhang Xiu got the news that the Jingzhou army was completely wiped out.
In the handsome tent, he and Jia Xu were stunned.
The two of them knew that Cao Shuo was capable, but they didn't expect that he would be perverted to such a situation.
Within one day, Wei Yan and Wen Ping were defeated successively.
Of the 5,000 Jingzhou troops, there were only a few dozen survivors......
"Jia Gong ......" looked at Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu wanted to speak and stopped.
"General, don't worry." Jia Xu said: "Wen Ping and Wei Yan are just young generals who have not been on the battlefield a few times, and the two of them are arrogant, of course they can't fight Cao Zirong." ”
"With Jia Gong here, of course I'm relieved." Zhang Xiu said: "It's just that once the Jingzhou army is defeated, our army has no advantage, and Ye County may not be able to defeat it." ”
"The general still wants to defeat Ye County?" Jia Xu smiled slightly: "In my opinion, we should withdraw and return to Wancheng as soon as possible, otherwise Wancheng will be melted by Cao Zi sooner or later." ”
"The scout reported that Cao Zirong had led the army to Ye County." Zhang Xiu said: "How did he break through Wancheng? ”
"Cao Zirong used soldiers and never paid attention to the art of war." Jia Xu said: "There is only one rule for him to use soldiers. ”
"What?" Zhang Xiu asked.
"Unexpected, hard to distinguish between real and fake!"
has learned the whole process of Cao Shuo's defeat of the Jingzhou army, Zhang Xiu's face is very ugly, and he did not say anything.
"Cao Zirong is almost here, and it is ...... to withdraw at this time" Zhang Xiu hesitated and said: "In case he covers up from behind, our army will suffer heavy casualties." ”
"Go, of course." Jia Xu said: "You can fight with Cao Zirong, so that he doesn't dare to step forward easily, and our army will withdraw in an orderly manner!" ”
"Rely on Jia Gong!" Zhang Xiu said.
Sima Yi led 3,000 Cao troops and rushed to Yexian with the coordination of Cai Ji and Wei Tu.
"Captain Sima, walk for half a day and you'll be in Ye County." Cai Ji asked, "How can our army break the enemy?" ”
"Childe said before leaving, our army can't die too many people in this battle." Sima Yi said: "Most of the recruits we brought were recruits who had never been on the battlefield at all. Childe still doesn't allow too many dead people, how to fight? ”
"Don't you fight?" Cai Ji asked again.
"Of course you have to fight." Sima Yi said: "The thunder is heavy and the rain is small, it seems to be attacking on all fronts, but in fact, it is a shallow taste and a walk." ”
"Childe has always been simple and clear when he speaks." Wei Tu said: "Captain Sima spoke, but I listened in the clouds!" ”
"Isn't that easy?" Sima Yi said: "When we arrived in Ye County, we put on a posture of attacking, but we just didn't fight. The Jingzhou army is over, and Zhang Xiu can't wait to fight us immediately. Fighting, it is we who suffer. Too many people have died, and Gongzi can't spare you and me when he comes back. ”
"Since we don't fight, why are we here in Ye County?" Cai Ji said: "It's better to follow Gongzi to fight Wancheng." ”
"Give the Ye County defenders courage." Sima Yi said: "The reinforcements are outside the city, and the defenders must rise up to resist the enemy, and Zhang Xiu has no chance to break through Ye County." ”
Wei Tu said: "Captain Sima knows the son best, I wonder if I can see what his intentions are?" ”
"Childe's intentions are actually very simple." Sima Yi said: "He knows that it is impossible for us to destroy Zhang Xiu, and the only thing we can do is to let Zhang Xiu shrink to Wancheng, and no longer pose a threat to the Cao family." ”
Cai Ji said: "Gongzi uses soldiers, except for Captain Sima, we can also peek out some reasons, we really don't understand." ”
Sima Yi smiled slightly, but did not respond.
led the troops to aid Ye County, and he knew very well what Cao Shuo wanted him to do.
The immortal battalion went to Wancheng, and it was only a matter of a few days to break through the city.
Once Wancheng is lost, Zhang Xiu will definitely withdraw his troops.
At that time, he will send troops to cover up and kill, although Zhang Xiu cannot be solved at one time, at least he will not dare to fight the Cao family again for a year or two.
Battle clouds were gathering near Yexian, and both sides were waiting for the final decisive battle.
Wancheng is on the official road leading to Ye County.
More than 200 Zhang Xiujun were guarding hundreds of ox carts and were heading for Ye County.
The bullock carts were stacked with sacks full of sacks.
Some sacks are heavy, while others look light.
In the grass on the side of the official road, Cao Shuo lay on his stomach in the deep grass, his eyes unblinking at Zhang Xiujun who was slowly moving forward.
"There aren't many people." Lying beside Cao Shuo, Chen Wu said: "The enemy troops escorting the supplies seem to be only two or three hundred, and one charge will be over. ”
"There are a lot of people." Cao Shuo said: "What do you think should be done with these people? ”
"Do you want to kill the people?" Chen Wu was stunned.
"Of course not." Cao Shuo said: "Kill them, who will send the baggage to our army?" ”
"Childe is going to ......"
"What do you usually do when you cut off the baggage?" Cao Shuo asked.
"It's burning." Chen Wu said: "You must not leave it to the enemy. ”
"What do you think they will do if they stay and don't care about them?" Cao Shuo asked again.
"Of course I'll tell Zhang Xiu." Chen Wu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Then the whereabouts of our army will be exposed." ”
"I've been with me for so long, and you know I'm actually quite kind." Cao Shuo said: "It's not a master who likes to kill. ”
Chen Wu was full of black lines.
He really didn't know how Cao Shuo said this.
Four or five thousand Jingzhou troops killed all in one day.
Cao Shuo was embarrassed to say that he was not a master who liked to kill......
"How?" Seeing Chen Wu's strange expression, Cao Shuo asked, "You don't believe that I am a very kind person." ”
"I believe it!" Chen Wu said: "But I don't believe that Gongzi doesn't kill people!" ”
"Okay!" Cao Shuo pursed his lips: "The people who help the enemy are actually enemies, and killing them is nothing." I actually think it's a pity that those supplies burned......"
Chen Wu was speechless for a while.
Childe finally told the truth......
Zhang Xiujun on the official road is getting closer and closer.
Cao Shuo whispered to Chen Wu: "Pass the order, once the attack is launched, all the people who want to run will be killed." As for the enemy troops escorting grain and grass, not a single one remains! ”
Chen Wu responded, and then whispered to the officers on the side: "Chuan Gongzi's military order, once an attack is launched, don't leave one." Kill all the people who want to escape! ”
The six hundred undead battalions soon received orders.
They took off their crossbows from their backs, set up five arrows on the crossbows, and aimed at Zhang Xiujun, who was about to enter the ambush range.
Although Zhang Xiujun on the road remained vigilant, he had no idea that danger awaited them.
Minfu drove the ox cart and marched slowly under the escort of Zhang Xiujun.
"Hit!" When Zhang Xiujun was in a straight line with them, Cao Shuo let out a shout.
The undead battalion dormant in the grass rose one after another, aiming at the enemy and withholding the reeds of their powerful crossbows.
The arrows flew out, and the unsuspecting Zhang Xiujun was shot over with some unlucky people!
"Kill!" The enemy army was in chaos, Cao Shuo drew his sword and rushed forward.
Chen Wu and the 600 undead battalion followed, shouting and rushing towards the enemy army.
