Cao Ren was appointed by Cao Cao as the general of Zhengnan, and led the Seventh Army with a total of 35,000 men to Xiangyang and began to prepare for an attack on Guan Yu. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As soon as he arrived in Xiangyang, Cao Ren found that the situation was really not good, several nearby counties had already announced that they would leave Cao and return to Liu, or they had already been in contact with Guan Yu secretly, and even last year, the former Jingzhou Assassin Fu Qun's main book, the person named Yang Yi, had secretly run to Jiangling and defected to Guan Yu.

It's worth it! Cao Ren was furious, and immediately led the army to pull out, killing all the way to Jiangling.

Cao Jun's vanguard led Niu Jin to lead 2,000 men and horses to open the road in front, looking at the familiar mountains and rivers along the road, he couldn't help but feel emotional.

It's still an old place, it's still an old scene; The mountain is still the same mountain, and the bend is still the same bend. Nine years ago, he followed the prime minister to besiege Gangneung and returned in vain, so he retreated from this road. Nine years later, I'm back! This time, can you kill the enemy and take Gangneung?

Alas, forget it, the prime minister led an army of 100,000 to besiege Jiangling for more than a month, and in the end he could only lead the army to retreat, and now General Cao Zhengnan led the Seventh Army to 35,000 people, plus the original people stationed in Xiangyang, it is less than 50,000 people, which is more than half less than back then, not to mention, I heard that over the years, Guan Yu has strengthened Jiangling City again, built the inner and outer coat city, and wants to break through Jiangling City, I am afraid that it is a dream.

Back then, thinking about back then, when Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard to ride on this road to chase Liu Bei, what happened later? It seems that the enemy's trick has been tricked, and the horse's hooves have been trapped in the trap in the road, right? Alas, eat a trench and grow wise, this time you can't let them repeat their old tricks and fall for them again! Niu Jin hurriedly ordered his subordinates to ride and not to rush forward, but to search and move forward.

The sentry in front came to report and found that Guan Yu's forward was three miles away in front of him, and he was about to arrive here.

"How many men do they have?" Niu Jin hurriedly asked.

The sentinel returned: "Seven or eight hundred." ”

Seven or eight hundred, only seven or eight hundred, isn't that purely here to explore the way? Niu Jin frowned, there was only one school of people, did he immediately surround them and annihilate them, or hurriedly report back to the Chinese army and wait for Cao Ren's ruling?

"Did they find out you didn't?" Niu Jin asked.

"Probably not," replied, "but, General, the enemy is already very close to here, and will meet us soon." ”

Yes, you need to hurry up! Niu Jin looked at the terrain on both sides of the road, raised his hand and waved back, and raised his eyebrows: "Withdraw first!" ”

After retreating less than two miles, Niu Jin pointed to the hill on the side of the road and instructed most of the sergeants to quickly hide in the grass behind the hill. He had already decided that he would eat the seven or eight hundred men and horses of the enemy.

The 800-strong Jingzhou vanguard force didn't even seem to have released the outpost scouting horses, so they just looked around and slowed down all the way, and collided with Niu Jin's men and horses.

Niu Jin seemed to be very scared and shouted: "Withdraw, withdraw!" "Turn the horse's head and run. Hundreds of sergeants under him also hurriedly turned around and fled with him.

"Where to run!" The general of the Jingzhou Army who led the army saw that there were only about 400 people under Niu Jin, and he staggered around and turned around and ran, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Chase!" ”

Niu Jin pretended to panic and fled back, while constantly looking back at the enemy army, seeing that they had all chased the hill, he turned around and shouted loudly: "The enemy has been tricked, everyone follow me to kill back, kill!" ”

At the same time, more than 2,000 Cao soldiers who were lying in ambush behind the hill also quickly appeared, rushing to run onto the road to surround the 800 Jingzhou men and horses.

Unexpectedly, the enemy generals reacted very quickly, as soon as they saw Niu Jin turn his horse's head, he immediately stopped his troops from drinking, and then saw that the enemy turned around and killed back, and saw that there were enemy ambushes on the side of the road.

Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly away like this, Niu Jin was willing, led the sergeant to chase after him, and shouted loudly: "Catch them, catch them alive!" ”

Most of the enemies are infantry, and they can only run so fast if they spread out their legs, and Niu Jin led more than 100 cavalrymen in the army to chase after them.

Seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, the Jingzhou soldiers who were running behind suddenly turned around, opened their bows and arrows one by one, and shot with their hands raised.

The cavalry was chasing after him, and when he was suddenly attacked, he quickly pulled away, and some of them couldn't dodge, and they were immediately dodged by more than a dozen horsemen.

Niu Jin reacted quickly, avoided a few arrows, and couldn't help but be mad, I wanted to catch more work, but the knights didn't release the arrows yet, but let the enemy attack first, and quickly changed his words: "Release the arrows!" Shoot the arrows! Shoot them! Shoot them! ”

The cavalry of the Cao army also untied their longbows one after another, and continued to chase while shooting arrows.

The cavalry in Jingzhou's soldiers also turned around at this time and began to shoot at Cao's cavalry to cover the retreat of the infantry.

Niu Jin chased out of five miles in a row, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, how could these Jingzhou soldiers still cooperate so well on foot and horse when they escaped, and they didn't look panicked at all?

It was here that he found that the enemy troops in front of him had stopped running, turned around one by one, and immediately assembled their formation.

Immediately afterwards, an enemy army also emerged from the bend in the road ahead, and together with the enemy in the lead, drew its bow and fired.

The Cao Jun hurriedly stopped chasing and turned around Niu Jin.

It turned out that there were their ambushes here, and Niu Jingang wanted to order a retreat, but found that there were not many "ambushes" of the enemy, only about 800 people, plus the previous 800, a total of 15 or 600 people.

No wonder, they just shot at the corners, and didn't surround them. It scared the hell out of me! I wanted to encircle and annihilate them, but I almost fell into an ambush from them, but fortunately it wasn't, it seemed that it was just their backup who rushed over.

So, is it time to fight or withdraw? Niu Jin couldn't make up his mind all of a sudden.

Let's talk about people, there are so few people, but I'm just a pathfinder, so it doesn't seem appropriate to fight with others like this, right? The enemy's reinforcements have arrived, will the main army be followed immediately?

Alas, forget it, let's withdraw first, there are only a little more soldiers and horses, and there is nothing to take advantage of in the fight. Niu Jin calmed down and ordered the sergeants to retreat slowly.

I never thought that he wanted to withdraw, but the Jingzhou soldiers and horses, who had fewer personnel, did not agree, and when they turned around, they shouted and chased them together.

Your uncle's! Niu Jin saw that it was not possible to retreat quietly, people still had to stick to fight, then fight, who is afraid of whom, Lao Tzu was originally here to crusade against you!

The two sides were suddenly slaughtered. (To be continued.) )
