Chapter 329: Battle of the Outpost (A)

There was a muffled sound, followed by the sound of the human body falling to the ground, and Lu Kuang lay on the ground in embarrassment. Zhao Yun quickly turned back to the horse's head and rushed to the front, the silver spear in his hand turned and held the tail of the gun, the tip of the spear went down to the sky, and stabbed it according to Lu Kuang's heart, but Zhao Yun's eyes stayed on Cao Ren. It seems to be mocking Cao Ren, but in fact, Zhao Yun is also paying attention to Cao Bing's actions.

Ding――

With a clear sound, Zhao Yun paused for a moment, skimmed Lu Kuang on the ground with the corner of his eye, and found that the tip of his spear did not pierce into Lu Kuang's body, but was blocked by the hard armor. Looking at the armor on Lu Kuang's body again, Zhao Yun couldn't help laughing at himself: "I forget, Lu Yihao's clothes and armor in Yizhou go to Hebei the most, and almost everyone in Cao Ying's general school has one...... It's really hard enough. ”

Here, Cao Ren saw that Lu Kuang was about to lose his life again, and hurriedly wanted to give the order to snatch someone, but saw Zhao Yun pick it with the body of the gun, and Lu Kuang, who was originally lying on his stomach, was picked and turned to face the sky on his back. Next, Zhao Yun unceremoniously shot Lu Kuang in the throat, and Lu Kuang died on the spot.

All this was just a matter of a moment, and Cao Ren couldn't even react a little. Seeing Zhao Yun leisurely returning to the suspension bridge, Cao Ren's heart was furious. Cao Ren is a martial artist, but when he encounters a master of Zhao Yun's level, he will more or less lose some self-confidence, and he doesn't know the situation in Xinye City, so if he rushes over recklessly, he will be tricked.

Zhao Yun single-handedly confronted more than 2,000 horsemen at the suspension bridge, and in this way, the two sides confronted each other for a long time. Zhao Yun was calm and motionless, and Cao Ren didn't dare to move under the weakness of his heart, hoping that the infantry in the rear would quickly follow.

The sky was gradually darkening, Zhao Yun looked at the sunken sun, and shouted loudly: "It's getting late today, Cao Ren Xiao'er, you and I will fight again tomorrow!" ”

After shouting, Zhao Yun generously fell over the horse's head and slowly walked into the city. What about the opening of the gates of Shinno Castle? What if the suspension bridge is not hoisted? Cao Ren watched Zhao Yun disappear from sight, but he didn't dare to send troops to rush over.

I don't know how long it took for Li Dian to rush to Cao Ren's side with a few infantry, and asked with a breath: "General, general, Li Dian is late!" ”

Cao Ren asked, "Man Cheng, when will the foot soldiers catch up?" ”

"It will be half an hour before all of them can be gathered, but the people are sleepy and tired, and I am afraid that I will not be able to attack the city immediately."

Cao Ren nodded and told Li Dian what he had just done. Li Dian thought for a while after hearing this, slapped his thigh and said regretfully: "General, you have been tricked!" There are no more than 5,000 soldiers in Shinno Castle, and most of them are outside the city, so where are there any soldiers in the city to lay an ambush!? Zhao Zilong stood at the head of the bridge single-handedly, which was a preemptive tactic, so that the general did not dare to enter the city! If it is not bad as expected, Xinye City at this moment must be an empty city, and Zhao Yun's more than 1,000 horsemen have already fled from other doors! ”

"Ahh

Cao Ren suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly entered the city to investigate. It didn't take long for the horse to report that Xinye City was indeed an empty city, and only a very small number of people in the city did not leave, and according to the people, Zhao Yun's more than 1,000 horsemen had already turned out of the city from the west gate before the sun set. After that, Zhao Yun, who went out of the city from the West Gate, was just single!

Cao Ren's face turned green with anger when he heard the news, and he ordered without thinking about it: "All the soldiers listen to the order and follow me into Xinye City!" ”

Two thousand cavalry were the first to move, and in a moment they rushed through the city gates. Just after entering the city, Cao Ren saw a raging fire in the distance, and hurriedly grabbed the horse's head and wanted to turn out of the city, worried that he would be tricked again. It's just that the reward of the meticulous work almost made him vomit blood on the spot - the place where the fire was set on fire was the Xinye Mansion Treasury, and the Mansion Treasury still had a batch of grain and grass that Liu Beijun had not transported away. In other words, the Xinye captured by Cao Ren was really an empty city, an empty city, an empty city without a single penny or a grain of rice.

Cao Ren gritted his teeth and rushed into the Xinye Mansion, and thundered in the hall. Li Dian didn't know whether to persuade or not, so he could only take on the responsibilities of a lieutenant general to arrange and respond to all kinds of miscellaneous things for the army that was about to enter the city.

Cao Ren had nowhere to get out of the fire in his stomach, so he drew his sword and slashed indiscriminately in the hall, and the tables, chairs, benches, seats, cloth curtains, and the like were unlucky. Finally, Cao Ren stopped, and a pro-soldier stepped forward cautiously to report: "General Qiyu, there are several jars of wine in the side hall, but there are ...... on the side."

"Wine!? It just so happened that Lao Tzu was trying to drink! ”

Without waiting for the soldiers to finish speaking, Cao Ren hurried to the side hall and saw that there were indeed several jars of good wine on the table in the side hall. The aroma of wine wafted by, and Cao Ren immediately smelled that this wine was a specialty of Yizhou, and it was the kind of high number. He was angry now, and he needed this wine to vent his anger. A few steps forward, I was about to take a jar of binge drink, but I saw a note on the table:

"The right to prepare a few altars of fine wine to express their hearts, and welcome Cao Zixiao here. There is no medicine in the wine, please Cao Zixiao drink with peace of mind, and Yun also disdains to be a dove, and takes your life in front of the two armies as a man. Zhao Yun respectfully! ”

It's okay not to look at it, this time I saw Cao Ren's fire hit up, and the wine jar in his hand was slammed to the ground by him, and he roared: "Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong!" I must cut you with a thousand knives before I can vent the hatred in my heart! ”

The wine in the jar spilled on the ground, and the mellow aroma of the wine immediately drifted around, and the soldiers behind Cao Ren involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in their hearts: "Xu can sell a good wine for twenty gold and a jar, it's a pity to smash it like this......"

――――――――――――――――――――

Not to mention how Cao Ren jumped like thunder in Xinye City, Zhao Yun had quietly rushed to Bowangpo at this moment, and his 1,000 elite horsemen were waiting for Zhao Yun here after making a small circle from the west gate of Xinye to avoid Cao Ren's soldiers and horses.

When Zhao Yun arrived, a thousand elite horsemen were resting in place, or lying in the grass or hiding behind trees, whether they were people or horses, they all kept the silence necessary for hiding. This thousand elite horses are the elite that Zhao Yun has painstakingly cultivated and trained in Xinye for several years, and the hard work that Zhao Yun has spent on this thousand elite horses is unimaginable to others. Now seeing that the 1,000 elite cavalry has fully met their own requirements, compared to the white horse Yicong back then, looking at this strict military appearance, Zhao Yun nodded with great satisfaction, and was very relieved in his heart.

The adjutant general greeted him and asked, "General, are we going to camp and rest now?" ”

Zhao Yun shook his head, called the scout and asked, "How is the situation of the Cao army at the north gate of Xinye?" ”

"Returning to the general, the cavalry of the Cao army has entered the city, about half of the infantry can barely catch up, and the other half is in a hurry, and the grain carts are all in the rear army. It was planned that Cao Jun would not be able to enter the city until the third watch. ”

Zhao Yun looked up at the moonlight that had just risen, and now it was just after the first shift. After thinking for a while, he reached out and patted the back of his white horse, as if to ask the white horse: "White Dragon, do you still have the strength?" ”

The white horse snorted, raised the horse's head and shook his body a few times, and then rubbed Zhao Yun's shoulder a few times affectionately, as if he understood Zhao Yun's words, saying that he was full of energy, and wanted Zhao Yun to ride on its back to show his majesty - Ma Tong human nature, BMW is even more psychic!

"Good!!"

Zhao Yun didn't say anything, turned over and raised the silver spear, and shouted in his mouth: "The soldiers have been fighting for a day, can they still fight now!?" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Yun's voice was uniform.

Zhao Yun made a move with the silver spear: "Attack with me and rush to the enemy formation!" ”

A thousand elite horsemen let out a roar and rushed out of the Bowang Slope, aiming directly at the rear army of Cao's army. As mentioned above, in order to pursue Zhao Yun, Cao Ren first led 2,000 cavalry straight to Xinye, and the rest of the infantry had to march urgently to catch up with Cao Ren. Moreover, the Cao army was desperately hurrying, and the distance that was supposed to take half a day was almost uninterrupted, and the infantry in the vanguard had even caught up with Cao Ren's cavalry as if they were desperate, so the fatigue of the Cao soldiers can be imagined.

Zhao Yun grasped this point and attacked again decisively. In contrast, his 1,000 elite horsemen had been given a certain period of rest, and he had eaten dry food to replenish his strength, and Cao Ren had been defeated several times in one day and his morale was high, so it was no problem to fight another surprise attack at night. The most important thing is that Zhao Yun is worried that the things he did before that to anger Cao Ren are not enough, and he is afraid that Cao Ren will ignore his team and go straight to Xiangyang, so he must take another risk and focus all Cao Ren's attention on him no matter what.

The moonlight was quite bright, and Zhao Yun led a thousand elite horsemen to rush out of Bowangpo and plunged straight towards the Cao army who was hurrying. Cao Jun, who was hurrying and exhausted, was caught off guard, and the weak and loose queue was cut off by Zhao Yun, and the foot soldiers in the middle and the grain cart in the rear team could not help each other for a while.

Zhao Yun saw that Cao Jun couldn't help each other in a short period of time, so he turned around and rushed straight towards the grain convoy. However, this time, Zhao Yun did not lead the team to rush over directly, but ordered: "Attack the grain cart on the periphery of the formation, and ride and shoot!" Rocket ready!! ”

A thousand elite cavalry, under the leadership of Zhao Yun, surrounded the grain cart team, and did not attack forward, but carried out rocket cavalry shooting on the periphery. Cao Hong's grain guards couldn't catch up with him, and he couldn't stop it, so he could only form a formation and barely resist. Seeing the rain of rockets and arrows falling on the grain truck again, Cao Hong wanted to cry without tears, so he had to divide half of the soldiers to fight the fire on the grain truck, and the other half stared at Zhao Yun tightly, for fear that Zhao Yun's elite cavalry would suddenly rush into the battle and loot and kill. Alas, who left himself without cavalry, and the soldiers drove another day of passers-by and tired of horses!?

Zhao Yun's elite cavalry didn't know how many times it had turned around the periphery of the grain team, and there were not many arrows left in the quiver. However, the fire of Cao's grain convoy was getting bigger and bigger, and roughly half of them had been burned, which made Zhao Yun very satisfied. Hearing the sound of shouting and killing from the direction of Xinye City, Zhao Yun knew that Cao Ren had heard the news and led the team to help, so he no longer fell in love with the battle at the moment, but roared, and led the elite cavalry away, leaving behind him the sky-high firelight, and ...... Cao Ren and Cao Hong's angry shouting and scolding. It's just that this scolding voice, Brother Yun, who has run away without a trace, can't hear it for a long time. (To be continued.) )
