By the Surabaya River, the sun was shining a little brightly at noon, Tao Ying called a rout soldier and asked how many Cao soldiers there were in Tan County, and the soldier shook his head and said that he didn't know how many, but at least it was no less than nearly 50,000 horses. This time, Cao Cao seems to have poured out of the nest and vowed not to give up if he did not take Xuzhou!

Tao Ying nodded, and by the afternoon, Xu Sheng still hadn't returned, but the number of people who had fled had reached nearly two thousand. Tao Ying didn't know if it was time to march into Tan County, Chen Deng looked at the soldiers crossing Surabaya and was quite tired, so he said that it was better to let the soldiers rest on the shore of Surabaya for one night before marching.

Tao Ying nodded, and it was evening in a flash, seeing that the sky was gradually getting dark, just as Tao Ying was leaving with some cold hearts, suddenly there was a humane appearance of the enemy's cavalry in the northwest of Surabaya!

When it comes to cavalry, Tao Ying's first thought is Cao Chun, history records that Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, and Cao Chun supervised the cavalry to break through several cities in Xuzhou. Later, he met Pengcheng to break Tao Qian's military horses, and Surabaya did not flow.

Thinking of this, Tao Ying couldn't help but have a cold war, could it be that the battle was now? According to historical records, Liu Bei was in Tan County, and at this time, wasn't Liu Bei in Tan County? That Surabaya is not flowing, is it that I am about to experience a war here?

Thinking of this, Tao Ying hurriedly raised fire to make all the military horses prepare for battle, the sky has gradually darkened, and the Cao thief cavalry is the most ferocious, especially now, he will not fight, and the future is rolling Surabaya, once defeated, the soldiers will only run to Surabaya!

The war drums kept beating, and the sound of dong dong sounded on the banks of the Surabaya River, while the sky was not completely dark, Chen Deng hurriedly asked all the military horses to form a formation quickly, in order to prevent the soldiers from being insufficient, Chen Deng also deliberately asked the people to pick up weapons and fight together.

The battle formation was quickly formed, standing far away on a high shelf, and in the front row on the plain not far away were rows of soldiers holding large shields, and behind the shields were hooked sickles and spears.

Even the five hundred cavalry were about to move on the flank, and Tao Ying was still glad that he still had cavalry, otherwise how much of a victory rate he had when he really faced the cavalry on the opposite side?

As the shaking of the ground became louder and louder, and gradually the cavalry like a tide appeared on the horizon, Chen Deng was still asking the soldiers to dig horse traps and place antlers in front of the battle array, and it was right to take Chen Deng out!

The cavalry was chasing another group of people like a gust of wind, and a group of people ran as fast as rabbits, but everyone turned their eyes on the cavalry behind them and ignored them!

Tao Ying wanted to see things in the distance clearly, but after all, the naked eye was limited, and it would be nice to have a telescope, Tao Ying had to secretly swear in his heart that if he could avoid Cao Chun's battle and return to Tanxian, he would invent a telescope first!

With the appearance of the cavalry, the generals here came to ask for orders to attack, Tao Ying saw that there were at least thousands of cavalry, and he only had five hundred cavalry, and he had already said that the Xuzhou soldiers were not as well-trained as Cao Jun, and Xuzhou had no generals How could they be against Cao Chun, even Tao Ying didn't dare to fight with Cao Chun in his heart, so Tao Ying could only shake his head and say defense!

When the cavalry chased closer and closer, Tao Ying gradually saw that it seemed that the escape in front was none other than Xu Sheng, who ran out of his subordinates, because the horses in front of him rushed to the front, and the armor was obviously unique to Xuzhou soldiers and horses!

Seeing this, Tao Ying hurriedly ordered the cavalry to attack to protect Xu Sheng back to the camp first, and after a drum sounded, more than 500 cavalry on the left began to accelerate and rush towards the middle of the battlefield, and the infantry also beat their shields with weapons and began to shout, as if to cheer themselves up.

The cavalry in the distance saw that a large group of men and horses suddenly appeared here, and they began to hesitate over there, after all, Cao Chun was also a cautious person, he only had two thousand soldiers and horses, how could he dare to attack more than ten times more military horses than him at will?

Before he could figure out who the enemy was, seeing that the cavalry was dispatched here, Cao Chun's cavalry actually withdrew, and seeing the cavalry in the distance gradually disappearing from the skyline, Tao Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

Coming down from the lookout, Tao Ying hurriedly ran out of the camp, and the people who fled back slowly rushed to this side, Tao Ying guessed correctly, the person who returned was Xu Sheng!

Xu Sheng's body had been punctured in many places, and even the war horse he was riding had been stabbed with a shot, Tao Ying was very distressed when he saw this, and hurriedly asked the military doctor to come and treat him.

Chen Deng was just a joke at the beginning, when Tao Ying had a problem with his brain, Chen Deng didn't want Tao Ying to make him a bigger official, so he asked him to recruit troops by himself, but he didn't expect that Xu Sheng was also a stubborn temper, and he really led more than a dozen clansmen to collect nearly a thousand defeated soldiers.

When Xu Sheng just went out to collect the soldiers and horses, the defeated soldiers around him were snatched away by other generals, and Xu Shengnian was angry and ran farther away to collect the soldiers and horses.

When they ran to a village, which had just experienced a great battle, a team of nearly 1,000 men encountered Cao Cao's brigade of cavalry. Before the two sides could fight, seeing that it was Cao Chun's banner, the soldiers and horses on this side were in chaos, but fortunately, Xu Sheng hid in the corner of the wall and hacked a cavalryman to death with a knife while people were not paying attention, and then led the men and horses to this side.

Seeing a commander leading the way in front, those routs hurriedly followed him, when the cavalry was in a hurry, Xu Sheng stopped his horse and led the clansmen back to kill for a while, after all, Xu Sheng was brave, and Cao Chun's cavalry was invincible, so more and more cavalry began to abandon the common people to pursue Xu Sheng.

So Xu Sheng rushed to the edge of Surabaya while fleeing and fighting, and saved Xu Sheng, but he didn't expect Xu Sheng to escape here with nearly 800 routs, and even Chen Deng was dumbfounded.

Chen Deng still thought that Tao Ying's dream of immortals was true, although he still had some doubts in his heart, but he also began to trust Tao Yinglai more and more.

As soon as the wound was bandaged, Xu Sheng hurriedly came to see Tao Ying, Tao Ying asked him to go back to rest, Xu Sheng knelt down and said: "Lord, Cao Chun's large number of cavalry has cleared the Xuzhou soldiers nearby, and the lord quickly withdrew the army to the south of Surabaya!" ”

It seems that Xu Sheng is not only afraid of Cao Chun's cavalry, but even the other generals next to him are afraid to withdraw their troops and horses to the north bank of the river when they hear about Cao Chun's daimyo.

"Lord Taishou, Cao Chun is brave and invincible, let's quickly withdraw the soldiers and horses to the south bank, with the natural danger of Surabaya, we will definitely be able to use Cao Chun's cavalry, and then wait for General Cao Bao to withdraw before we can fight!"

Chen Deng also began to persuade Tao Ying, and Tao Ying felt a little awkward when he heard Cao Bao's name.

The most convincing general in Xuzhou seems to be the only one Caobao, who was born in a family and was quite appreciated by Tao Qian. And Tao Ying knew that the number one general must be Zang Ba of Kaiyang, but Zang Ba is known as the boss of the Taishan Gang, and it seems that he is not very close to Tao Qian, Tao Ying wants to ask Zang Ba to come to the aid of Tan County, but Zang Ba has no intention of leading the troops to come.

Seeing that everyone was cowardly towards Cao Chun, Tao Ying knew that fighting was a morale, so he hurriedly used the power of the gods and said: "Don't be afraid of Cao Thief Cavalry, Commander Xu Sheng comes and goes freely in front of Cao Chun's cavalry and treats them like mustard, not to mention that Cao Chun may not come to us, from today Xu Sheng will supervise the cavalry battalion, and the five hundred cavalry will be under the command of General Xu Sheng, and the others will not be allowed to rest in the camp today, and all the troops will go to Tanxian tomorrow!" ”
