Chapter 16: Gambling
Looking at the soldier Cao Peng who rushed over, Guan Cheng grinned and showed his scarlet teeth. Raise the big knife with both hands, and slash it down with a single sword. This knife was so powerful that he thought that the soldier Cao Peng would dodge it, but he didn't want him to rush over with his sword like this, and let the big knife slash on his shoulder.
This knife looked really not light, almost cutting off half of his arm, but it couldn't stop his inertia of rushing forward, and a sword stabbed straight at Guan Cheng. At this time, Guan Cheng had already swung a knife, and in an instant, who had the strength to dodge, he could only turn sideways a little and avoid the vital point. But the sword still pierced Guan Cheng's body like this, and it was inserted into Guan Cheng's abdomen.
Immediately, Guan Cheng, who had recovered his strength, kicked Cao Peng, who had lost his breath, away. He drew the sword on his body and shouted, "Your Shangguan is dead, and you will not surrender." When the county soldiers who were fighting heard this, they scattered and fled, and the rest also surrendered on their knees.
At this point, there was a cry in the city, and finally, Kaixian still took it.
In the far suburbs of Kaixian County, Kou Feng camp.
At this time, in the camp, there was a young man in armor. That's right, it is Cao Hong, the first son of Xuzhou. After receiving the order, Cao Hong hurried to Kou Feng's side, and finally arrived with his soldiers and horses when the sun was about to set.
At this time, Cao Hong stood at the door of the big tent, and didn't speak, just looked at Kou Feng who was the first in the big tent.
And Kou Feng, who was in the first place, also looked at this friendly army who was temporarily sent to support, the son of the Cao family in Xuzhou, the eldest son of Cao Hong. At this moment, Kou Feng really has a headache, to be honest, since the army to the present, Kou Feng really hasn't said a few words to Cao Hong, so it looks very embarrassing at the moment.
Cao Hong looked at Kou Feng like this for a while, then walked to the side of the first seat and sat down, and asked in a slightly playful tone: "Dare to ask Captain Kou, I don't know what the current situation is?" As the son of a family, he also has his own plans at this moment, and he will not have any radical contradictions with Kou Feng for the time being.
Kou Feng was not hypocritical when he heard this, cleared his throat and said: "Don't hide it from Cao Gongzi, now the camp that our army has taken is the logistics place of the thief army, and now the thief leader is leading the thieves to attack the county." A certain thought that when the thief heard that something was wrong in the rear, he would definitely return to the army to save him. ”
"Oh? Don't know how many thieves are geometric? Does our army have a chance of winning? Cao Hong then asked.
Kou Feng said with some embarrassment: "According to relevant intelligence, there should be tens of thousands of thieves. After a pause, he said, "But as long as we make proper arrangements, I believe that we will definitely defeat the enemy army." ”
Hearing this, Cao Hong on the side nodded, revealing a contemplative look, and only after a while did he speak: "Since this is the case, everything is arranged by Captain Kou." ”
Kou Feng still had to answer Cao Hong's question, but he didn't expect to agree so refreshingly? I couldn't help but feel a little more solemn in my heart, this feeling was really uncomfortable, but I still smiled on my face: "In this case, please ask Gongzi Cao to arrange for the soldiers to rest and rectify first, and then discuss after a certain period of time." ”
Hearing this, Cao Hong didn't say much, so he walked out of the big tent.
At this moment, Kou Feng's heart in the big tent is indeed a mess, partly because of Cao Hong, but mainly because of the huge military strength of the Yellow Turban Thief Army. The original Kou Feng thought that after he passed the message, Cao Bao would personally lead his troops to come and join him to attack the Yellow Turban Thief Army, but he didn't expect Cao Bao to let Cao Hong bring 500 soldiers and horses to come over for nominal support, and he Kou Feng is not a god How to let such a little person defeat tens of thousands of Yellow Turban people, not to mention that there are thousands of original Yellow Turban thief soldiers.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel bored in my heart, so I drank outside the door: "Wu Dun, go out with me to explore the terrain!" ”
After a while, Kou Feng and Wu Dun came to a place a few miles outside the camp, in fact, the environment of this era is still very good. The trees are dense and the hills are undulating, and the occasional rare beast shuttles between the trees, although it is a little less quiet, but it makes people feel a little more alive in this gradually autumn season. Although the scenery in front of him was charming, Kou Feng was still at a loss for the upcoming war, because he couldn't come up with an effective way to deal with it, so he could only continue to walk blindly with a bitter face.
Walking through a jungle in front of him, Kou Feng led Wu Dun to a relatively empty valley. Kou Feng looked at the valleys on both sides, thinking about whether he could lay an ambush, but after thinking about it, he gave up, and the enemy outpost would definitely investigate. sighed, if you want to defeat this group of Yellow Turban bandits now, your side doesn't seem to have any advantage.
Thinking of this, Kou Feng was deflated, so he slowly came to the side of the hill and sat down. Wu Dun on the side naturally saw the troubles of his own captain, so he comforted him on the side: "It's okay captain, even if there are many Yellow Turban thieves, we have the power to fight with our combat strength." After a pause, he continued: "Besides, after a while, when the combined forces of Cao Dudu and Taishan arrive, there will be more people and horses than this tree, and the thief army will run away. ”
Kou Feng, who was bowing his head and frowning sadly, suddenly had a flash in his eyes, and kept saying in his excited mouth: "There is, there is." Then he stopped and muttered, "No, it's not enough, it's really not enough, what should I do!" ”
Wu Dun on the side saw this scene, but he thought that his own lieutenant was in a hurry, and he was crazy with his heart! So he hurriedly shouted into Kou Feng's ear: "Du Lieutenant, Du Lieutenant!" "It seems that he wants to call Kou Feng's soul back.
Kou Feng was taken aback by this shout, so he turned his head and scolded: "Sick! Scared me. I'm thinking of a way to break the enemy. Then he kicked Wu Dun, and then said, "Go and take a look at the hills over there." Wu Dun saw that he was fine, and he was not angry, so he patted his ass and ran over happily.
A few days later, the county was opened.
Guan Cheng looked at the leaders below and said, "Brothers, we have been cultivating for a few days after capturing Kaixian, and now we are going to go back to the camp to rescue our women and children!" ”
The leaders below arched their hands and roared: "I am willing to go with the general!" ”
Guan Cheng waved his hand and said: "We can't lose the county, I estimate that there are no county soldiers around here who dare to come over." Xu He listened to the order and ordered you to lead a thousand men and horses to garrison Kaixian. The rest of us will follow me to welcome back our women and children! "No"
Due to the desperate resistance of Kaixian at the beginning, there are only 15,000 Yellow Turban soldiers and horses in Kaixian County today, of which nearly 10,000 were killed in battle. Now he has to attack tens of thousands of Xuzhou soldiers and horses, although it is a little difficult, but no one has flinched. Seeing this, Yin Li, who was around the corner, unconsciously shrank back.
After a while, more than 10,000 Yellow Turban troops outside Kaixian County, under the leadership of Guan Cheng, killed Xiang Koufeng's camp.
At this time, the Xuzhou military camp also waited for Mount Tai soldiers and horses. Although the number of people is uneven, there are also 3,000 people. Cao Bao looked at the soldiers and horses under his command, which had reached 5,000 people, and said in high spirits: "All the princes follow me to pay the thieves and kill!" “
So the Xuzhou military camp also slowly moved closer to Kaixian.
Kou Feng camp.
A sentry rushed into the tent of the Chinese army and reported: "Captain Koudu, the Yellow Turban army has attacked us!" “
Kou Feng pinched his fingers and said to Cao Hong on the side: "In this way, it will trouble Cao Gongzi, and I hope that Cao Gongzi will focus on the overall situation." Cao Hong, who was on the side, didn't reply when he heard this, just nodded noncommittally, and then turned around and walked out of the big tent.
Kou Feng then turned to Wu Dun and said, "Is everything arranged?" “
Wu Dun on the side heard this and said, "Everything is according to your instructions, just Cao Hong's side?" “
"It's okay, don't worry about him" Wu Dun didn't say anything more when he heard this, and withdrew his hand. At this time, Kou Feng muttered: "It's a big gamble in itself, and I don't care about him anymore." He lifted the curtain and went out.
Looking at the three thousand Yellow Turban soldiers and horses gathered on the school ground, Kou Feng took a deep breath, such a large number must not be left in the camp. So he shouted: "Brothers, General Guan Cheng has come to pick us up, then we will make a big battle in the open space behind the woods, let him see our strength!" “
When the people heard this, they cheered. So the people who had been commanded were ready in the open space, and as soon as they led it, they immediately made the dust fly, and the sky was noisy, and thousands of troops and horses were in full force.
At this time, Kou Feng's eyes were far away from the woods, waiting for the arrival of this inheritance.
