Chapter 11 Marching into Tan County

Let yourself lead the troops to Tanxian, he has never had the experience of leading troops to fight, Tao Ying thought that his father would let him guard the next Pi, and then he ordered Liu Bei and others to defend the city, wait for Cao Cao to withdraw the army, and wait for himself to make great contributions, this is good, he has to lead the troops to fight, and the opponent who came up is Cao Cao, the strongest boss from the end of the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms!

After staying in Xiapi City for three days, Tao Ying had no choice but to lead 500 cavalry, 9,000 infantry, and 500 craftsmen to Tanxian County, accompanied by Chen Deng.

The war originally had nothing to do with the craftsmen, but Tao Ying was able to go to other small cities to eat in order to lose the battle, Tao Ying still relied on the spirit of shamelessness, and exchanged five hundred soldiers for all kinds of craftsmen and packed them away, because he knew that this trip might completely draw a line with Xiapicheng, so when he left, he still took Chen Deng with him.

The two people led the soldiers and horses to the north, to Tanxian to pass through Surabaya, the two hesitated and took almost four days to get to Surabaya, just arrived at Surabaya, looking at the wide river-like Surabaya, which completely overturned Tao Ying's inner heart that it was just a stinky ditch.

The Surabaya River is nearly two or three miles wide, the water flow is very fast, when Tao Ying led the soldiers and horses to the side of Surabaya, he saw from a distance that there were already a large number of routs on the opposite side of the Surabaya River, and kept rushing to this side of the river.

It was a bleak place, the bridge was crowded with people everywhere, and even the rushing Surabaya was crowded with people like dumplings. Seeing the landscape in front of him, Tao Ying rode a horse and walked side by the river with Chen Deng and asked, "Brother Yuanlong, presumably Tanxian has been lost, what should we do?" Chen Deng looked into the distance, the sky was a little gloomy, and the other side of the river was crowded with not only countless soldiers, but also some ordinary people.

In the distance, you can still see a small group of Cao Jun chasing and killing everywhere, Chen Deng sighed and said: "Lord Taishou, it seems that Tanxian has been lost, it is better to return to the army to guard Picheng!" ”

As soon as he said that he was returning to defend Xiapi and looking at the turbulent Surabaya River, Tao Ying shook his head. He knew that in history, although Tanxian County lost the first battle, but in fact, Tanxian County was not lost under Liu Bei's insistence, and they could only go to Tanxian County and could not go back, because when Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou, the reason why Lu Bu was defeated was because Cao Cao dug Surabaya and flooded Xiapi City.

Tao Ying pointed to the soldiers running around and said, "Brother Yuanlong, I want to fight the Cao army next to Surabaya, what do you think?" Chen Deng looked at the turbulent Surabaya and thought for a while, then looked at the soldiers and horses behind him, and thought for a while before answering: "Lord Taishou, the morale of the Cao soldiers is not rival, it is better to station the soldiers and horses on the south bank of the river, and then tear down all the bridges on Surabaya, and then be the Cao army!" ”

Tao Ying pointed to the other side of the river and said, "No, I want to garrison the military horses on the north bank of the river, and then dismantle all the bridges!" After Tao Ying finished speaking, Chen Deng's head was sweating, isn't this death? Cao's army is powerful, and the strength of the soldiers and horses is known to the world, and cutting off the back road by himself is the way to die!

Just when Chen Deng wanted to advise Tao Ying, Tao Ying had already beaten his horse and shouted to the generals behind him: "Everyone obeys the order, all the soldiers and horses are stationed on the north bank of the Surabaya River, and all the soldiers who escaped will be killed!" ”

After the order was issued, those generals were a little stunned, they had escaped with great difficulty, they were all flesh and blood compatriots in Xuzhou, how could they attack their own people?

And Tao Ying doesn't care about them, he just wants to be a brutal general, not brutal, because if you are kind to others, you are cruel to yourself, and if you are cruel to others, the common people will live!

After an order was given, all the generals led their men and horses to block the bridges, and even the shore was full of crossbowmen.

The soldiers shouted to the soldiers on the bridge: "Go all to the north bank of the river, or you will be killed!" "Although the voice is very loud, where is the group of routs willing to listen?

The crowd quickly crossed a bridge, and the generals on the side of the bridge were still a little hesitant, and Tao Ying was very inconvenient to ride on the horse, because he had not ridden before. So Tao Ying simply jumped off his horse and ran over, drew the sword in his hand, and stabbed to death the centurion who was in charge of guarding the bridge without saying a word!

Seeing that the young general in the general robe came up and stabbed his own person to death, a group of soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, even the soldiers standing on the bridge were stunned for a moment.

Tao Yingjian pointed at the soldiers on the bridge and said: "I am under the Pi Tao Ying, I am ordered to guard Tan County, you return to the battlefield quickly, otherwise there will be no mercy!" ”

The group of soldiers still wanted to rush forward, Tao Ying waved his hand, and the crossbowmen on the shore released their crossbows together, and soon a dozen soldiers who were close were shot down. The other soldiers still wanted to rush forward, but Tao Ying hurriedly mobilized more soldiers by the bridge.

Knowing that this group of soldiers were not afraid of death, Tao Ying ordered people to pass orders everywhere, once the soldiers who crossed the river found out which general's subordinates were and which general's subordinates were sentenced for treason, and all the soldiers were punished by the three clans!

Who in the entire Xuzhou City doesn't know Tao Ying's brutality? After this order was issued, those soldiers who were still trying to flee to the south bank began to hesitate again, even if they crossed Surabaya, how could they cross the pass of 10,000 elite soldiers in front of Tao Ying, and even if they died, they would affect their families, this was indeed a bad choice!

After killing nearly 100 soldiers trying to cross the river, the soldiers on the north bank of the river stopped crowding on the bridge. Tao Ying pointed to the south bank of the river and shouted: "All the generals listen to the order, and they will all cross the river in one day by any means!" Set up camp on the north bank of the river, and all those who can't cross the river will be dealt with by military law! ”

After an order was issued, although some generals were very repulsive, their military orders could not be violated, and most of these generals were elite troops who followed Tao Qian to fight in the south and north, and they were also loyal to the Tao family.

Everyone began to cross the river in all directions, and Tao Ying also wanted to take the lead in crossing the river, so he led a group of people to the bridge, because he saw that Cao Bing on the other side of the river was still chasing and killing soldiers everywhere, and even the people who fled together were chased to the river and killed!

Seeing that a large group of people and horses were coming over on this side of the river, and on the other side of the river, I don't know where a Cao army of nearly 100 people came out, Cao Bing looked at this side and began to cut down the wooden bridge of the Surabaya River without hesitation.

The soldiers on the south bank have no morale at all, and no one has come to stop it, there is such a bridge near here, if it is cut off, if you want to cross Surabaya, you will have to detour more than ten miles, even if you reach the other side, presumably Cao Cao's military horses are also coming, and the tired army will definitely be defeated when it meets Cao's army, and there is no way back, and it will die even worse!

So Tao Ying didn't think about it and rushed towards the bridge with a gun, and the others saw Tao Ying running towards the bridge first, the lord was still so desperate, how could they be left behind?

Many generals who hesitated on the shore looked at Tao Ying on the bridge alone, and the morale of a group of soldiers was instantly raised, those soldiers in the Surabaya River still wanted to swim to the south bank, and the soldiers who didn't want to the south bank roared and waded directly into the river!

"Brothers, the lord is still working so hard, what are I waiting for? Rush, go to the north shore and compete with Cao Gou! ”

One person roared, more and more bloody people joined in, and for a while, the entire Surabaya River was really like dumplings this time, and there were soldiers everywhere!

Unconsciously, a bridge composed of human walls appeared in the river, and Tao Ying only cared about rushing forward, when he rushed to Henan

When he was already tired and out of breath, Cao Jun at the head of the bridge saw that a person was still a general running on the bridge, and more than a dozen people turned their heads in fear and ran.

A few Cao soldiers ran a few meters, looked back and looked twice, the soldiers suddenly stopped, Tao Ying also followed and glanced behind him, and suddenly felt shocked in his heart: "I, grass, people!" ”

Tao Ying realized that he seemed to be running too fast, so that the soldiers behind him didn't follow at all!
