Things often change when one side thinks they can take control of the big picture. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info is lax because he thinks he can control everything, and often gives others a chance to take advantage of it, although this is a very idiotic mistake, but it is easy for people to get it unconsciously, just like Cao Chun in front of him - when he thought he could wait to kill Liu Bei's team's attack, the shouts of killing suddenly sounded from in front of them. A group of people appeared from the darkness, and one of the generals led by him was dressed in black armor, dancing a Zhangba snake spear in his hand, and rushed towards Cao Chun with a fierce momentum. When he got closer, he suddenly let out a snort, but the sound was as shocking as summer thunder: "Brother is panicking, Yanren Zhang Fei is here." ”

"It's actually Zhang Fei?" Cao Chun was secretly taken aback, and couldn't help but blame himself in his heart: "Why am I so careless? If he had rushed forward earlier, fought a few casualties and directly ended Liu Bei, I am afraid that there would not have been so much trouble at this time. Well! There's no need to touch this evil god. Seeing Zhang Feilai's ferocity, Cao Chun inadvertently wanted to retreat. He had seen Zhang Fei's methods and understood that this Zhang Fei was completely the same level as Xu Chu, another person in his army, and his combat power was completely above his own. At the moment, Xu Chu is not by his side, and it is impossible for him to face Zhang Fei's edge at all. Although I am very unwilling in my heart, it is an inevitable choice to retreat from the situation. Cao Chun, who was helpless, waved his hand and quickly dispersed his cavalry, allowing Zhang Fei's men and horses to rush in and take Liu Bei away in one go.

Seeing that Liu Bei was escorted by Zhang Fei into the ink-black night, and gradually disappeared, the fire in Cao Chun's heart was naturally very strong. Although the order to break the encirclement was given by himself according to the situation on the battlefield, it was a rational order rather than an emotional choice. In the depths of his heart, he still regretted that he couldn't catch Liu Bei.

"Do you want to keep the pursuit?" Cao Chun looked at the direction in which Liu Bei disappeared and thought, and his heart was quite moved. However, at this time, a good news came from behind, which made him suddenly give up the idea of continuing to beat Liu Bei.

"What? Caught Liu Bei's family small? Cao Chun's eyes widened suddenly.

Liu Bei, who has been in exile, does not have as many wives and children as Cao Cao, which is a well-known thing. According to the situation about Liu Bei that Cao Jun's spies found out about Liu Bei in Xinye, Wancheng and other places, Liu Bei seems to have two daughters and a son after settling down in Jingzhou, which is his blood and blood for half his life, and it is also the existence that he regards as treasures. Cao Chun heard that Liu Bei had teased children in addition to reading in these years, and spent most of his time on his children. For a "doting" child like Liu Bei, Cao Chun is really noncommittal in his heart. However, he could also see how important the child was in Liu Bei's heart. Now that Liu Bei's family has fallen into his hands, even if he can't catch Liu Bei himself, he can still give Liu Bei a heavy blow, which can be regarded as some credit.

"This may be an explanation to the lord." Cao Chun thought so in his heart and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he is Cao Cao's clansman and has a good relationship with Cao Cao, he still feels a little frightened in the face of Cao Cao under normal circumstances. As everyone in the world knows, Cao Cao was a strict man by nature.

Thinking of the importance of this trophy, Cao Chun naturally planned to turn around and talk to Xu Chu behind him about how to ensure that this thing that could be regarded as a merit was sent to Cao Cao. This is a very important thing, especially now that Liu Bei has been rescued by Zhang Fei, it is obviously impossible to annihilate Liu Bei in one go as he did at the beginning. Although the pursuit was to continue, the situation here and the results obtained had to be reported immediately. "Gain as much as you can." This is Cao Chun's idea.

Soon found Xu Chu's whereabouts, Cao Chunzheng wanted to go forward to discuss with him, but was surprised to find that Xu Chu was very embarrassed to stand in front of the horseless car.

"What's wrong, Zhongkang?" Cao Chun asked in surprise.

"Alas...... Ay! Zihe, come and help me. The two little girls in there kept crying, I really couldn't help it! Xu Chu's rough and sturdy face actually showed an expression of wanting to cry, which made people seem to be as funny as they were.

"Little girl?" Cao Chun frowned inadvertently when he heard this, but he was in a bit of a mood to joke about Xu Chu: "Why are they crying?" Isn't it that you Zhongkang saw that they were beautiful and did something that shouldn't be done. ”

"How dare I." Xu Chu was so anxious that he shouted: "It's Liu Bei's daughter, and she seems to be frightened." ”

"Liu Bei's daughter? You really took Liu Bei's family down? Cao Chun suddenly became excited, and his face seemed to be glowing.

"Only this carriage was found, and there were only Liu Bei's two daughters in it. As for the others, I didn't see them. Xu Chu straightened his color and said.

"Catch as much as you can. You hurriedly put those people and Liu Bei's family to me. Send someone to send a letter to the lord in Xiangyang City, asking the lord to send reinforcements here as soon as possible. The impact caused by our five thousand iron cavalry has passed, Liu Bei has already reacted, if we don't get reinforcements in time, I'm afraid we ......" Cao Chun didn't say more, because he saw it in Xu Chu's eyes: "Everything is up to you, Zhongkang!" ”

Xu Chu, who was speechless, just nodded heavily, and the resoluteness in it made Cao Chun look very relieved. He watched Xu Chu go away, and his intentions returned to how to defeat Liu Beijun. The current situation is developing in a bad direction as Cao Chun said to Xu Chu, but the extent of this development is not as serious as he said, and some are just a source the size of a spark. Liu Beijun has indeed reacted, but their reaction has not done anything at all.

At this moment, Liu Bei himself had fled south and hid to the west of the Dangyang Bridge. With Dangyang Bridge as the boundary, Liu Beijun was divided into two parts: Liu Beijun on the east side of Dangyang Bridge was about 20,000 people, and his general was only Chen Dao, who was still in a panic; To the west of Dangyang Bridge, there are more than 30,000 people, including Liu Bei's own team, and the main generals of Liu Bei's army are among them. Although his expression was a little panicked and embarrassed, it was Liu Beijun's most valuable strength, and it was also the only existence that Liu Bei could put his mood down.

Regarding the main force of Liu Beijun on the west side of Dangyang Bridge, Cao Chunzi had no idea. He was a man who knew the times. Before chasing Liu Bei back and forth, he had also inquired about the situation in Dangyang, and he knew that there was only one passage on the Dangyang River, which was neither wide nor narrow. Although it is not a trench, it is also an easy point to defend and difficult to attack, as long as there can be a small number of elite troops guarding there, then the final separation of Liu Beijun's army is almost a monolith. For such a thorny question, Cao Chun admits that he has no idea. At the moment, he could only leave this trouble aside for the time being, and think about how to solve the 20,000 collapsed people on the east side of Dangyang Bridge.

The 20,000 collapsed people were scattered on the vast battlefield east of the bridge, and its strength was not too much, and it was not too much to say less, and in Cao Chun's opinion, it was the existence that could break through each of them. Although it is really troublesome to implement this, it is something that Cao Chun has to do.

Almost all the generals of Cao Cao's army knew about the annoying situation about Liu Beijun: the normal state of defeat and collapse of ordinary princes was different, once Liu Beijun's defeated troops lost contact with the main formation, they would not disperse in a hurry, but would gather into a small dot again to do what everyone thought would be looking for death. It's a nuisance for the winners. Because in such a situation where resistance is still ongoing, the victors are often subject to the influence of these existing resistances and cannot directly finalize the pursuit of Liu Bei. They could only helplessly continue to entangle with Liu Beijun's scattered forces until they were defeated one by one. This is also the reason why Liu Bei was able to escape safely from Ascension when he was defeated.

"Damn Liu Bei. It's really infuriating to use this already impatient trick again. Cao Chun pursed his lips self-deprecatingly, but like a whirlwind, he led the elite of his subordinates straight towards the nearest Liu Beijun gathering point to him. For the people of Cao Cao's army, they have already seen all the methods used by Liu Beijun. But after seeing it all, there was no solution, which made him always depressed. They have always thought that solving Liu Bei's defeated army is a boring thing, but it is precisely because of this boring thing that it is necessary to continue to do it, so they can only continue to be bored like this.

The guns are sharp, the horses are fierce, and the people are shaking, although it has been galloping continuously for several days, although it has been playing for most of the night, but for the remnants of Liu Beijun who have no unified command one by one, but just spontaneously gather together, Cao Jun's tiger and leopard ride is still terrifyingly tight. Dressed in black and armor, they wander almost like ghosts in the night, making it difficult to find them. And when they officially selected a target, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the people who were originally erratic were like demons who had descended into the world, tigers out of the box, which was irresistible. Within half an hour, Liu Beijun's two strongholds were broken, although they were all defeated, but their rapid movements and strong combat power also made people feel frightened.

The spear stabbed out like a meteor, gently stabbing a young soldier in the chest, piercing his already fearful heart. Cao Chun didn't use all his strength, but brought some back strength slightly, which made him collect the gun extremely quickly, only to see the arm protected by the black wrist armor tremble slightly, and the sharp tip of the spear pushed out of the hot chest, with a stream of blood arrows.

It was bright red and searing blood. It soared high in the air like a skyrocketing bird, but it spread out at that highest point, turning into a violent rain of blood and hitting Cao Chun's face. Cao Chun didn't feel uncomfortable because of this. As a general of the most elite cavalry, he often fought with his brothers at the forefront of the battlefield, and even enjoyed this bloody situation. He believes that only by constantly spilling the blood of the enemy on his body can he become stronger and more courageous.

Another simple shot was stabbed, and it gently took away a young life. In a lifetime, it withers so quickly on the battlefield. The tiger and leopard riders, who have fallen into the madness of obsession, naturally do not lament how fragile the lives of their enemies are. They're just very bored and depressed doing the same thing over and over again. Like a harvesting machine that doesn't listen to the turns, it keeps reaping the lives that belong to the enemy.

"How come there isn't an opponent to fight with me? How not? Even though they didn't show it on their faces, they did feel tired from doing the same thing over and over again. This kind of slaughter, which was indomitable and barely met with resistance, had been going on for nearly two hours, and they were no longer able to count the number of enemies who had died at the hands of each of them. They knew that they seemed to have broken more than ten of Liu Beijun's gathering points, and the soldiers of Liu Beijun in these gathering points ranged from one or two thousand to four or five thousand.

At this moment, looking at it from afar, it seems that the figure in the maroon uniform can no longer be seen on the battlefield, and there are only the maroon corpses lying on the ground one by one, and the miscellaneous clothes that are several times the size of these maroon bodies.

The excitement dissipated, and the cool cold wind blew, but when the cool refreshment aroused people's consciousness, Cao Chuncai sadly found that what a bleak picture was showing in front of his eyes.

"Are we responsible for all this?" Cao Chun asked himself.

The result is undoubted, because there is only a group of people standing on the great plain, which is already very illustrative of this problem.

Before he could sigh, Cao Chun felt the ground trembling slightly under his feet. A very familiar voice came from the northwest wind. Cao Chun immediately heard the sound of the cavalry's war horse running on the ground, judging from the size of the sound, the cavalry who came over was about 2,000 people.

"Is it your own?" Cao Chun was puzzled. His own enemies, those Liu Beijun were driven to the east by themselves, specifically the cavalry coming from the northwest was unlikely to be the enemy's team, but Cao Chun somehow always felt a little panicked in his heart. He felt uncomfortable, as if something bad was about to erupt.

The sound of the horse's hooves kept ringing, quickly from far to near. At a considerable distance, Cao Chun realized where the uneasiness in his heart came from: the cavalry that came over were completely running at the high speed of the assault, and they did not rest for a moment, it was impossible for reinforcements from the distant Xiangyang across a distance of hundreds of miles, but the enemy army who had been lying in ambush for a long time and only waiting for his tired time to show his fangs. Although I am not sure whether the enemy troops on this road are Liu Bei's own troops, it is certain that they have absolutely no good intentions towards themselves.

"Enemy attack!" Cao Chun quickly shouted this aphorism.

However, he shouted too late, and the enemy attack was almost at the same time as he shouted the words. Three thousand white feathers pierced the black night and scattered from the sky in front of them, sending a surprise rain of arrows to the soldiers who had just been refreshed by Cao Chun's warning. For a while, screams, cries of pain, moans, and falling horses rose one after another. Just a face-to-face effort, 5,000 tigers and leopards rode elites, and there were only more than 3,000 people left standing. Nearly a thousand fell under the rain of arrows. Cao Chun really felt that the lives of the people on his side were as fragile as those killed by him.

"Damn, you actually play sneak attack ......?" Cao Chun gritted his teeth and roared. He was rightly angry, but he forgot that the so-called soldier's so-called trickery and his own behavior were the same sneak attack.

In the wave of arrow rain just now, Cao Chun also saw red. A white feather more than two feet long slanted out of his shoulder, completely paralyzing his right arm. "It's so penetrating." Cao Chun gritted his teeth, the numbness of his right arm had completely lost his ability to fight again, as a general without special training, his left arm was definitely not as accustomed to his right arm, and it seemed too difficult for him to fight with a spear in his left hand.

"Note that the enemy is a ranger, and the parts are scattered to meet the enemy in a scattered formation." endured the pain, reached out and broke the arrow that came out of the blade, and then pulled out the blood-stained arrow shaft vigorously, hastily tore off a piece of clothing to bandage his wound indiscriminately, Cao Chun quickly issued this new order. There is no way around it: he estimates that the enemy is only 2,000, and the arrows shot by the opponent are far above 3,000, which is enough to show that the enemy is very good at using bows and arrows, and there are definitely many soldiers who will use the rapid-fire attack technique of "Lianzhu". For such a situation, he undoubtedly has a headache. He knew that his tiger and leopard cavalry was very elite, but no matter how elite it was, it was only a melee cavalry wearing leather armor and holding a spear. Although the spear is equipped with a spear, the range of the tiger and leopard cavalry is far greater than that of the cavalry who usually wield short swords and short swords, but this range is too narrow compared to the rangers who use bows and arrows. Judging by the sound of the enemy's horses' hooves, the enemy's main team was still about forty feet away from him. They can attack themselves at this distance, but they can't attack them themselves. The attack range on his side is only one zhang. Although with the swiftness of the assault of the war horses on both sides, crossing the gap between forty zhang and one zhang was only a matter of a blink of an eye, Cao Chun estimated that the other party could indeed launch two or three attacks in the blink of an eye. In terms of the damage caused by the opponent to himself at this moment, if he continued to maintain the density of the existing formation, he was afraid that his army would be killed or wounded under these two or three attacks.

"I had to rush up. Rushing forward in a scattered formation, gathering as they approached the enemy. Rely on horsemanship and your own spear to engage in melee combat with your enemies. Guys who rely on bows and arrows for long-range attacks must not be very skilled in close combat. As long as we can really hold on to that, I think with the combat power of our tiger and leopard riders, we will definitely be able to tear them apart. Cao Chun thought so, and then blew a loud and strange trumpet. It was a special order in their Tiger and Leopard cavalry, and it was used to convey this series of orders. In the face of the enemy who gave them a headache, retreat was obviously not something they could accept, and they just met it, desperately to meet it, and fought the enemy.

The horses galloped, and the rumbling hooves of horses could be heard far away in the night. The tiger and leopard riders scattered diagonally like an open fan towards the enemy's location. The short distance of dozens of zhang was rapidly shortened in the high-speed movement of the cavalry. In the meantime, there may be more than two arrow rain attacks from the other side, but due to the darkness of the night and the dispersion of Cao Chun's side, the effect of this arrow rain attack is not very good. After two bowstring sounds, only a few hundred unlucky people fell to the ground, just a few hundred unlucky people who happened to hit the enemy's arrows.

The distance between them was shortened, although it was still in the dark, but with his extraordinary vision as a general, Cao Chun still saw the enemy on the opposite side very clearly: I saw that most of them were wearing the same half-body leather armor, although their protection was not as good as the full-body leather armor worn by the cavalry on their side, but it was undoubtedly much lighter than his own side in terms of weight. Coupled with their bow-and-arrow-based warfare, it can be expected that they were a ranger who pursued high-speed, long-range strikes, and imitated the northern nomads.

"Hmph, I didn't expect to see guys like those barbarians studying in the south, it's funny enough. Don't they know that only cavalry like ours, which is moving towards greater protection and higher impact, is the right way for cavalry? Cao Chun pursed his lips disdainfully, and the smile on his face became hideous. As the two sides quickly approached, Cao Chun knew that the time for his might would soon come. "Kill!" He screamed and raised his spear in his left hand.

Following the advance of his troops, Cao Chun was still at the front of the team, but he did not exist as the vanguard soldier. The injury on his right hand still caused the numbness and pain to continue to come, and now he could only use his feet to control the posture of the horse's body, and only used the spear in his left hand to make some commands. Face-to-face combat with the enemy was impossible at his current level, so he had to let his guards constantly lead the army forward.

Things were going smoothly, and the enemy troops who were approached did lack the ability to fight in close combat as Cao Chun himself imagined. The battle was fought in the dark, and although the battle situation on the field was not very realistic, judging from the sounds heard around it, it seemed that the enemy had suffered a lot of damage.

"As long as it continues like this, I'm afraid it won't be too difficult to defeat the enemy." The smooth progress made the corners of Cao Chun's mouth slightly upturned, but he smiled faintly. At this moment, there was a bittersweet feeling in his heart.

However, something happened that made him vomit blood. The team, which had been advancing smoothly, suddenly stopped as if it had hit a wall, and the terrible screams suddenly sounded, and Cao Chun listened carefully but found that the sound was not from the enemy's side, but from the mouths of Naxi's subordinates beside him. It was clear that his soldiers were being held back by the enemy's elite.

"Elite ......" Cao Chun's eyes widened suddenly: "There are still elites who can compete with our tiger and leopard riders?" This enemy is really amazing, right? Cao Chun looked up with a little surprise and curiosity. At present, the teams of the two sides are entangled, and the distance between the two sides is extremely close, and Cao Chun can clearly see the situation of the people on the other side.

I saw three tiger generals standing majestically in front of the enemy's formation on the opposite side, all dressed in white robes, white armor and white horses. Although in the dark night, it was impossible to see their respective appearances clearly for a while, but judging from their respective body shapes, bearings, and actions between their words and deeds, the enemy generals on the opposite side seemed to be two strong and one young, and they were blood relatives with some ability.

"Am I being too lonely? When did such a powerful general come out in the world? This level of bravery is simply comparable to that of a peerless general like Guan Yu. Cao Chun was injured and unable to participate in the battle, but his eyes were not affected in any way, and he quickly gave a high evaluation of the three enemy generals who suddenly blocked in front of him. He could see that they were generals at the same level as Guan Yu, Xu Chu, and even the deceased Dian Wei, and they belonged to the kind of generals who were at the level of ten thousand enemies.

"How can such a person become an enemy? I really don't know if I should feel happy or sad. Cao Chun looked at their natural means of attack, and watched them take the lives of his soldiers with the most concise but fastest trajectory every time they stabbed their spears, and his heart was like overturning a five-flavor bottle, and all kinds of ups and downs came one after another, making him feel sad and happy at the moment: perhaps, as a general, he should be happy for the emergence of such a strong enemy, after all, only by constantly challenging can he become stronger; But as a courtier under the lord, it seems that he should feel sorry for such a strong military general to be an enemy rather than his own people, because such a military general as an enemy is definitely a misfortune on his side.

"Perhaps, I will have to convince Meng De to find a way to keep these people in the future?" Cao Chun is Cao Cao's relative, and Cao Cao himself is more considerate than an ordinary general. Although he himself knew that with his troops here tonight, it would be absolutely impossible for him to achieve his goal of taking them for his own use, but he decided to keep this matter firmly in his heart, and was ready to talk to Cao Cao at every opportunity. He believed that Cao Cao would also be attracted to these people, after all, there were still too few super-first-class generals in his army, and it was too rare.

Of course, that is a matter for the future, and what Cao Chun has to do now is not to be distracted from these things that he has and don't have, but to really consider how to reverse the current situation on the battlefield. No matter how much he admired and attracted his enemies, he was always the general of Cao Cao's most elite tiger and leopard cavalry. With this elite team to win victory after victory, it was he who blamed himself. He did not want problems with his army under his own leadership. Despite the strength of the enemy on the other side, he still wanted to win. It's something he has to do and can do.

The wind was blowing, and a cold wind was blowing again in the dark night. The power that belonged to heaven and earth roared, quickly blurring the fighting cries of thousands of people on the battlefield.

Cao Chun smiled at the oncoming wind, his face full of confidence. Although he had already fallen to such a point, he still thought he had a chance to win. Because he found that the strength of the enemy was only the strength of the place where the enemy's three generals were, and as for the place where these three generals were beyond the reach of the whip, although those soldiers also showed good quality, they were still much worse than the veterans who had been on the battlefield on their side - this was undoubtedly an opportunity that he could take advantage of.

In the whistling wind, the spear in Cao Chun's hand was raised high, and the enemy heard it inexplicably, allowing his people to pass a glimmer of enlightenment from his mouth: "Goose walking!" ”

The elite of the Haw Par Riders began to change formations.
