Chapter 571: Listen to Childe
The cavalry of the Xuzhou Army following Zhang Liao was less than 100 people. Dumeme,Com read it?
They were all disgraced, and many of them were still wounded.
repelled Xiahou but folded Cao Xing, and Gao Shun did not dare to rush into the army.
led the army back three or four miles, and Gao Shun ordered the soldiers to deploy defenses.
Before the defensive line was formed, dozens of fast horses came in the distance.
"It seems to be General Zhang!" Pointing to the distance, the captain beside Gao Shun said.
"Hurry up and greet you!" Zhang Liao returned with dozens of horses, and Gao Shun already sensed that something was wrong.
After a while, the captain who was ordered to step forward welcomed Zhang Liao and the others back.
As soon as he saw the embarrassed appearance of Zhang Liao and the others, Gao Shun understood everything.
"General Zhang......" Although he saw what was happening, Gao Shun still asked.
"Alas!" Zhang Liao sighed and said: "General Gao asked me to lead the army to resist Cao Zirong, who would have thought that he would be able to defeat the army as soon as our army engaged with them. ”
"How many men and horses are there in the enemy army engaged with the general?" Gao Shun asked.
Zhang Liao thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there are less than a thousand people!" ”
"No wonder the general will be defeated." Gao Shun said: "It is the elite immortal battalion under Cao Zirong who is engaged in the battle with the general......"
Speaking of this, a trace of doubt clearly appeared on Gao Shun's face.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Liao asked, "What did General Gao think of?" ”
"I'm just wondering." Gao Shun said: "I heard that there are only six hundred people in the immortal camp, where did the extra few hundred people come from? ”
"There are a few hundred extra people, and the armor is brighter than the immortal camp." Zhang Liao said: "Their shields are engraved with dragon patterns. ”
The dragon pattern riding is an elite team that Cao Shuo has only recently founded.
Although they had followed Cao Shuo to Hebei at the beginning, their equipment had not been changed at that time, and they looked no different from ordinary soldiers.
The knowledge of the Flying Bear Camp is limited to the fact that they are Gao Shun of the Immortal Battalion, and of course it is impossible to know the existence of the Dragon Pattern Rider.
"Did Cao Zirong train another elite?" Zhang Liao said: "That cavalry rushed up, even faster than the undead battalion, although the number of people seems to be only half of the undead battalion, our army can't resist it at all. ”
Furrowing his brows, Gao Shun said, "We can't just stay here ......"
"Has Xiahou been captured?" Zhang Liao asked.
"General Cao Xuan shot him blind in one eye, but he beheaded him." Gao Shun said: "In this battle, our army really did not get any benefits. ”
"Once Xiahou and Cao Zirong join forces, our army will no longer have any advantage." Zhang Liao said: "It's better to ......"
"Wen Yuan means to retreat to the city?" Gao Shun asked.
"Yes!" Zhang Liao said: "Our army might as well retreat to Xiaopei, Hou Cheng and others are stationed there, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, even if Cao Zi melts, it can't be anything." ”
Gao Shun thought for a moment and said to Zhang Liao: "The general is reasonable, without further ado, we will return to Xiaopei as soon as possible!" ”
Gao Shun and Zhang Liao decided to retire from Xiaopei.
Cao Shuo had already arrived at the hillside where Xiahou was stationed at this time.
His left eye was shot blind, Xia Hou's face was wrapped in gauze, and he sat on the stone angrily.
"General!" An officer ran up, clenched his fists and said, "Gongzi repelled Zhang Wenyuan and led the army to come." ”
Hearing that Cao Shuo was coming, Xiahou hurriedly stood up: "Follow me to see Gongzi!" ”
The officer answered and accompanied Xiahou to the hillside to soak.
Before he got to the foot of the mountain, Xiahou saw a group of men and horses coming in the distance.
He picked up his pace, and on a couple of occasions he almost rolled down the hill without stepping steadily.
Descending the mountain, Xiahou waited at the foot of the mountain with a group of Cao Jun who looked very embarrassed.
It didn't take long for Cao Shuo to arrive with his troops.
Seeing from a distance that Xiahou was already waiting, Cao Shuo rode his horse and galloped over.
When he got closer, Cao Shuo turned over and dismounted.
He didn't salute Xiahou, but took the other party's hand and looked at Xiahou's eyes, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with the general's eyes?" ”
"Don't mention it!" Xiahou said: "Gao Shun and Cao Xuan led troops to chase after me, I stepped forward to fight and repelled Gao Shun, but I didn't expect Cao Xuan to blind one of my eyes with a cold arrow on the side." ”
"Secretly release cold arrows, it should be cut with a thousand knives!" Cao Shuo said: "Don't worry, general, when I catch Cao Xing, I will definitely tie him up and give the general a breath!" ”
"Thank you first, Childe." lost an eye, but Xia Hou could still smile and said: "Cao Xing's guy secretly put a cold arrow, and it has been cut down by me, Gao Shun saw that he couldn't take our army, so he also retreated!" ”
"It's cheaper." Cao Shuo asked, "What are the general's plans?" ”
"If Childe doesn't come, I'm going to stay here." Xiahou said: "Although it is impossible to enter Xuzhou, it is also possible to prevent the enemy from entering Yanzhou. Now that Childe is here, what are you waiting for? Enter Xuzhou and kill his mother! ”
Cao Shuo said with a smile: "General, don't worry, in my opinion, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao will definitely not intercept in front, they may have retreated!" ”
"What does Childe mean ......," Xiahou asked.
"Advance step by step, and occupy the surrounding cities first." Cao Shuo said: "Fighting Xuzhou is not a matter of one or two days, and with you and me, it is impossible to occupy Xuzhou." Don't forget that Lu Bu now has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. ”
"Listen to Childe." Xia Hou said: "From today on, I will do what Gongzi tells me to do!" ”
"Zhongda, Shiyuan, you all come here!" Cao Shuo greeted the crowd who came up.
Sima Yi, Pang Tong, Zhao Yun and others surrounded one after another.
Squatting on the ground, Cao Shuo picked up a branch and said to everyone: "My plan is like this, before my father's army advances into Xuzhou, we will first take Fan County, and then Duoxue County, opposite Xiao Pei. ”
"Childe is opening up a way for Cao Gong's army." Sima Yi said: "In this way, Xiao Pei will have to wait until Cao Gong arrives to take it." ”
"Not necessarily." Cao Shuo said: "The soldiers come from afar, and if they don't even have a place to stay, they will be miserable for a long time." Fan County is located at the junction of Xuzhou and Yanzhou, and the grain and grass from Yanzhou can first enter Fan County and then be transported to Xue County. In this way, the possibility of grain and grass being looted is greatly reduced. The main force of our army is stationed in Xue County, and it often attacks Xiaopei, and the enemy army sees that our army is small, so he will definitely send troops out of the city to meet the battle. When the time comes, we will break them one by one, maybe before my father comes, Xiaopei will be able to take it. ”
"Lu Bu killed Yang Feng and Han Xian, and the soldiers and horses under the command of both of them were stationed in Xiaopei." Pang Tong said: "Tens of thousands of people, if they attack Xue County, what does Gongzi plan to do?" ”
"If they attack, we will defend it." Cao Shuo said: "As long as Xue County and Fan County are not lost, when my father leads the army to come, Xuzhou will be like picking up things!" ”
"What do you think?" Looking up at the people around him, Cao Shuo asked.
