Chapter 136: Li Tong
By the time Cao Cao led his army to Dingying, Li Tong had already fought with Wen Ping.
Wen Ping immediately waved his army north after occupying Wufang, and met Li Tong, who had received the order to go north, and a fierce battle began.
Li Tongzheng took advantage of the favorable terrain to block Wen Ping, and when he saw Cao Cao leading the army to come, he immediately greeted him, "Greet the lord!" ”
Li Tong, whose name is Wenda, is a native of Pingchun, Jiangxia, and won the trust of Cao Cao in his early years, and has been defending Runan, the southern gate of Xuchang, for Cao Cao.
"Venda has worked hard!" Cao Cao turned over and dismounted and patted Li Tong on the shoulder to show comfort, Li Tong was the first group of people to follow him, both in terms of ability and conduct, Cao Cao was deeply loved, so he handed over such an important place as Runan to Li Tong to guard.
Since Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu to occupy Runan, Runan has been guarded by Li Tong, Li Tong still doesn't understand why Cao Cao wants him to give up Runan, giving up Runan means that Xuchang will not be peaceful, Xuchang will not have a good time if Cao Cao is not restless, Cao Cao should understand this truth, but why make such an unwise decision really made Li Tong a little puzzled, so he couldn't wait to ask: "Why did Runan give up?" ”
"Runan, you are more familiar than me!" Cao Cao held Li Tong's shoulders and said: "Unless the Yuan family is uprooted, Runan will be in Nanning, this time is just right, since they want to set themselves on fire, why can't I do it!" ”
Comforting Li Tong, Cao Cao had the opportunity to take a closer look at the battlefield situation, Wen Ping did not seem to have the intention of fighting with Cao Jun, before Li Tong's 20,000 soldiers and horses, and later plus Cao Cao's 15,000 men and horses, a total of 35,000 people, and Wen Ping's 45,000 men and horses were on a par with Wen Ping's 45,000 people.
On the battlefield, the soldiers of the two sides wore clothes of different colors and fought together, you have me, I have you, and the generals of the two sides also rode their horses and galloped wantonly to kill the enemy troops in front of them.
The battle was tepid, Cao Cao observed the cavalry that did not find Liu Biaojun for a while, and turned to ask Li Dao in doubt: "Do you know where Liu Biaojun's cavalry is?" ”
"Liu Biao's cavalry has a total of 5,000 under the command of Liu Pan, I have already sent someone to investigate, and I have not found the shadow of Liu Biao's cavalry, and I have been strange in my heart!" Lee Channel.
Guo Jia on the side said: "I want to come to Wenpin to use the cavalry as a killer weapon, I will definitely not find this kind of moment, unless the lord makes Wenpin suffer a hardship!" ”
Xu Chu and Le Jin Tiger Prison were seriously injured in the first battle, even if the two were strong, it was difficult to heal in such a short period of time, the two stayed by Cao Cao's side and did not participate in the battle, and Dian Wei did not go to the battlefield in person to protect Cao Cao.
Cao Cao beckoned Dian Wei and Li Dao on his side: "You two each lead a team of men and horses to standby, wait for my order!" ”
"Whoa!" Li Tong gave up his hand and took the order. Dian Wei on the side was very embarrassed and stood aside scratching his ears and cheeks, and blushed before he spoke: "I'm going, what's the danger to the Lord's security?" ”
Cao Cao laughed and teased: "You have begged to go to the battlefield many times before, why are you so twisted this time?" ”
Dian Wei Xu held back for a long time and blurted out: "There was Zhong Kang here last time, and Zhong Kang is injured today, how dare I let the lord be alone!" ”
was underestimated how Xu Chu could endure it, even if the person opposite was Dian Wei, Xu Chu was not ambiguous at all and endured the pain and patted his chest and said confidently: "With me here, the general can go!" ”
How could Dian Wei, who was also a military general, not know Xu Chu's injury, and it was okay to deal with ordinary soldiers, but if he dealt with a slightly stronger general, he would definitely not be able to bear it, frowning and speechless, and looking at Cao Cao with hopeful eyes.
Cao Cao also knew what Dian Wei was worried about, but now that there was no one around him, it was really too wasteful for Dian Wei to put this fierce general by his side, so he comforted and said: "There are no fierce generals in Liu Biao's army, and there are two guards Zhong Kang and Wen Qian in front of him, and it will be fine!" ”
In the end, Dian Wei still didn't insist on Cao Cao, and picked a team of people to wait for Cao Cao's order side by side with Li Tong.
The war is still in full swing, the soldiers on both sides wield their weapons and slash at each other with their abilities, and Wen Ping's ability is also one of the best in Liu Biao's army, and Wen Ping himself also belongs to the Jingxiang Hao clan, so he is deeply reused by Liu Biao.
Wen Ping's management of the army is extremely strict among the Jingzhou generals is an outlier, the soldiers under his command have fought with Yuan Shu, Zhang Xiu, etc. many times, and the elite level is definitely not inferior to Cao Bing, if there is no major change, the Cao army will definitely be defeated in the long run.
It seemed that the war was going on smoothly, and suddenly Cao Cao waved his hand, and the flag commander on the high platform quickly waved the order flag, and Dian Wei and Li Tong were ordered, and they each led their men and horses from both sides to outflank the Wenpin army.
"Ding-dong! Cao Cao's command skill "Wei Wu Strong Pawn" has exploded, and when he is the commander of an army, his own command is +4, and the attack, defense, and movement speed of his soldiers have increased! ”
"Ding-dong! Affected by Cao Cao's commander skill "Wei Wu Strong Pawn", the current Cao Cao command has risen to 104, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command has increased! ”
Affected by Cao Cao's skills, Cao Jun seemed to have a force out of thin air, and a knife could only resist the long knife of Liu Biaojun's soldiers, but he didn't expect that a knife would directly cut down Liu Biaojun's soldiers, and for a time there were scenes of Cao Jun's counterattack everywhere, and even some Cao Jun soldiers who fell in a pool of blood and were dying seemed to return to the light and hugged the legs of Jingzhou soldiers and gnawed and bited.
"Kill!" Li Tong wielded a broadsword bravely and took the lead, and slanted out of the Cao army formation and went straight into the Jingzhou army formation, a big knife flew up and down, and the courage was inappropriate, killing several Jingzhou soldiers in an instant, disrupting the Jingzhou army formation, causing the Cao army behind him to easily break into the Jingzhou army formation.
Li Tong was originally a ranger, flexible and powerful, and he was also a fierce general, and he was like entering a no-man's land in the Jingzhou army, and soon the Jingzhou army was defeated. On the other side, Dian Wei was even more impressive, the tiger and tiger dancing with the double iron halberd were vigorous, rolling over like a grinding plate, leaving corpses on the ground.
"The general is not good, the soldiers can't resist it!" A lieutenant general was covered in blood and staggered to Wen Ping's breathlessness.
"Got it, let's go down and rest first!" ordered his soldiers to support the adjutant general, and Wen Ping's face was also very solemn.
Although Liu Biao's order was for him to take Xuchang as quickly as possible, Wen Ping did not want to fight Cao Cao, because he understood that once the news of Liu Biao's troops reached Shouchun, Yuan Shu would definitely not be able to sit still and would definitely send troops hastily, and once Yuan Shu sent troops to Cao Cao, he would face the dilemma of fighting on both sides, at that time, Cao Cao was anxious about fighting with Yuan Shu and had to fight hard against him, Cao Cao was not three heads and six arms, and he would definitely show his flaws, and that was the moment when he Wen Ping attacked in a big way.
Jingzhou is different from other princes, Liu Biao entered Jingzhou single-handedly at that time with the help of Jingzhou's powerful forces to quickly pacify Jingzhou, so Liu Biao was constrained by Jingzhou Haoqiang everywhere, locally, even more so in the army, most of them were composed of local powerful private soldiers, and most of the private soldiers in the Wenpin army were also private soldiers of the powerful family who supported Wenpin, which was also the reason why Wenpin had other thoughts.
