Chapter 166: Breaking Xiaopei

The two armies fought, and in less than half a pillar of incense, corpses were strewn all over the battlefield. Fighting a war sometimes doesn't depend on who has more soldiers and horses, no matter how many soldiers and horses you have, they are all a group of people who are afraid of death who are unwilling to sell their lives, how can you fight with a group of outlaws?

Therefore, when the Hell Demon Army killed Cao Bao's vanguard army, Cao Bao hurriedly withdrew his troops from the city. But where can the tens of thousands of troops be withdrawn? Tao Ying led the soldiers and horses to rush all the way to the foot of Xiaopei City, and by the time of Xiaopei, the generals defending the city had already closed the city gate.

Even Cao Bao was locked up outside the city. Cao Bao shouted to open the city gate under the city, but when a general came from the city, the young general shook his head at Cao Bao.

"You ungrateful, open the gates!"

Cao Bao and Sun Jian Jun shouted under the city, the general raised his head, not far away Xu Sheng had already led a cavalry team to outflank this side, and the soldiers and horses of Northern Xuzhou encountered along the way either surrendered or fled to the mountains and forests. In their hearts, they did not dare to fight against Tao Ying's military horses, because in terms of momentum, they had already lost.

Just like ordinary small princes, although they have the ability to challenge a big boss like Yuan Shao, they don't dare. As soon as Yuan Shao extended an olive branch, many small princes ran to take refuge.

"How can you say that I am ungrateful, when you take away my lord's little pei and imprison my lord's family?"

The young generals in the city shouted in the city, and listened to their conversation from afar, and knew that they were certainly not a group of people. Xu Sheng soon led the cavalry to the city, and Cao Bao saw that he couldn't enter the city for a while, so he could only lead the soldiers and horses around the city gate to Tanxian.

Before leaving, Cao Bao shouted: "Cheng Lian, next time I meet you, I will take your dog's head!" ”

After Cao Bao scolded, Cheng Lian took a bow with an arrow, and an arrow shot off Cao Bao's head Sakura. Cao Bao was annoyed and angry, but he had no way to exert his power, so he could only lead the troops to flee for his life in a huff.

Xu Sheng led the soldiers and horses to chase all the way, and chased them until the evening, and then chased them back until the next county. After driving away Cao Bao, nearly 10,000 stragglers outside the city were surrounded by Tao Ying, and they couldn't enter the city, and they couldn't escape. The main general also ran away, so many people had to choose to surrender.

Collected the soldiers and horses of Northern Xuzhou, Tao Ying wanted to teach them a good lesson, but when he thought that whether it was the soldiers and horses of Donghai County or the military horses of Langya Kingdom, these were all soldiers and horses of Xuzhou, Xuzhou was his hometown, and he couldn't be too cruel to them.

So Tao Ying ordered all the soldiers and horses in Northern Xuzhou to be disarmed, and then drove them out of the city, and he led the troops to the outside of Xiaopei City.

A cavalry of nearly 500 people came to the outside of the city with a black war horse, black armor, plus a black spear and a fanged mask, such a formation made Cheng Lian in the city a little stunned.

A black demon banner fluttered in the wind, a person in the black armor army, not wearing armor, a red cape and a white lightning horse, wearing a silver-white brocade robe, his face was slightly pale, and his long black hair floated neatly on his shoulders, looking graceful.

Knowing that this might be the second son of Pengcheng's hegemony, Cheng Lian hurriedly walked down from the city wall. After a while, Xiao Pei's vermilion gate creaked open, and Cheng Lian walked out of the city with a big seal. Cheng Lian was followed by four or five generals, and some of Xiao Pei's civil officials also came out.

Walking out of the gate, the north was whistling, and after a big battle, many people were soaked, and the cold wind was blowing so much that many soldiers began to cough.

Tao Ying rode out of the Hell Demon Army, and when he dismounted, Cao Chun and Zhuge Jin next to him also hurriedly dismounted. Seeing the richly dressed Tao Ying, Cheng Lian held Xiao Pei Dayin in both hands and then bowed his waist and waited for Tao Ying's arrival with his head bowed.

Tao Ying is a corporal Lixian, he doesn't know who he is in front of him, but one thing he can know is that he and Cao Bao are definitely not in the same group.

Tao Ying walked to Cheng Lian's side and stretched out his hand to help Cheng Lian up. After taking the big seal, Tao Ying casually handed the big seal to Zhuge Jin next to him, and Zhuge Jin hurriedly held the big seal in his hand.

"The last general will become Lian, I have seen the second son!"

After the general finished speaking, he knelt down on one knee towards Tao Ying, and Tao Ying hurriedly reached out and helped him up.

"General, please get up!"

After helping Cheng Lian up, Tao Ying helped Xiao Pei's officials up again. Cheng Lian led Tao Ying into the city, Cheng Lian led the way in front, Tao Ying also turned over and followed behind, and behind him Zhuge Jin and Cao Chun led the Hell Demon Army to advance. As soon as he arrived at the door, Tao Ying ordered: "Order, all soldiers must not disturb the people, but if they disturb the people, they will be beheaded on the spot!" ”

Zhuge Jin nodded and quickly ordered, except for the Hell Demon Army, the other soldiers and horses Tao Ying did not let them enter the city.

For Cheng Lian beside him, Tao used his mind to think about who this was, but he still didn't have much impression. What he didn't know was that Cheng Lian was a powerful general in front of Lu Bu's tent and one of Lu Bu's eight strong generals. It's just that because the eight strong generals Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are too famous, Cheng Lian was buried.

Approaching the city, Tao Ying rode on a horse, and heard that the second son had entered the city, and the people who had been oppressed by Cao Bao were like looking forward to a great savior, and the people who cheered and celebrated were as lively as the New Year.

The people flocked to the streets to see Tao Ying, Cheng Lian wanted to disperse the people, but Tao Ying waved his hand to tell him not to do this. Cao Chun said beside him: "Lord, I just entered the city, I am afraid that there are assassins hidden among the people, so it is better to be careful!" ”

After thinking about Cao Chun's words carefully, Tao Ying nodded. So he didn't take the official road where there were many people, but Tao Ying went to Xiaopei's county government from a small road.

Along the way, Tao Ying couldn't help but ask Cheng Lian next to him: "What is the relationship between the general and Cao Bao?" ”

Cheng Lian hurriedly explained beside him: "I was originally a general under Wen Hou, Wen Hou gave me a thousand soldiers and horses, let me guard Xiaopei, and hand over the family to me for protection." I didn't want the eldest prince to suddenly turn his face, so Cao Bao led 50,000 troops to attack Xiaopeicheng, saying that he would expel Wen Hou from Xuzhou. ”

As soon as he heard that it was Lu Bu's general, Tao Ying's first feeling was that this general had to be of a higher grade. For example, if you work in a powerful company, you have to have a better face than in a small broken factory, and it is a higher grade to say it.

And since Lu Bu can protect a family of old ** to him, he should know that this person's skills are also very high! It's just that Lu Bu thought about Xuzhou too simply, thinking that there would be no problems if he was close to Tao Ying, but he still let the potter give Yin.
