Chapter Seventy-Six: The Captives Disappear
In the era of cold weapons, what are the generals who command the army are most afraid of?
I believe that when you ask this question, anyone who knows a little bit about the common sense of ancient military power will tell you clearly, bomb the camp!
At this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and the firelight rushing to the sky, the miserable screams, and the loud noises that sounded from time to time brought huge mental pressure to these Cao soldiers can be imagined.
Fear of this thing is contagious, originally there was chaos in the Xiahou Yuan cavalry that was only the first to rush up the hill, but in fact, the real damage was minimal, and a few startled horses were really nothing in front of tens of thousands of generals. But it was Qin Xu's epoch-making weapon that caused everyone's fear of the unknown to trigger this big retreat.
The rout often means cannibalism, and there are only a handful of unlucky people who were really injured by the earth bombs made by Qin Xu's assault, trampled by startled horses and panicked comrades, coupled with the loud noises that sounded from time to time and the firelight that rushed to the sky around him, so that Cao Jun, who was crowded on the hillside, only hated his parents for giving birth to two legs.
The screams of the torrent of more than 10,000 people, and the uncommon sense scene in front of them, made Cao Jun, who had never gone up the mountain at the foot of the mountain, seem to be infected by the plague, and the guards guarding Cao Cao's handsome cocoon also panicked one by one. Cheng Yu and a group of civil and military personnel, who had a contemptuous look before, were so frightened that they didn't even have the courage to move their feet, and they were stunned to see the sudden changes in front of them.
"Protect the lord!" Ying Xiao is imminent, Cao Cao is a golden body in the eyes of these guards and civil and military personnel, if he is attacked indiscriminately by these soldiers around him who are terrified and mentally unstable, it will really be a thousand deaths.
"Lord, the camp has been bombed, let's go!" A group of civilians, soldiers and soldiers looked at Cao Cao's defeated face under the skylit firelight, and shouted anxiously one by one.
"How so? How so? Can anyone tell Cao what is going on? What about the talents? What about the rules? Didn't you say that capturing Qin Xu alive made me Cao Cao fall, what about them? Cao Cao was also shocked by the sudden change in front of him, and his eyes widened with a hint of light on weekdays, and shouted in disbelief!
"Lord, the two generals have not yet returned, and the people and horses are noisy and do not know life and death!" Cao Ren shouted loudly with a nervous face: "Meng De, let's go quickly, if you don't leave and wait for the rear army to bomb the camp, even if you want to, you won't be able to leave." ”
"Lu Bu! How fortunate you are! Cao Cao pushed away Cao Ren, who was about to forcibly pull him away, pointed to Qin Xu's figure faintly visible in the firelight, shouted, and fell under the handsome anvil.
"Oh no! The handsome cockroach is down! The lord is dead! ”
"The Lord is dead! Run! ”
"The people on the mountain are blessed by the gods, and we and other mortals have used their troops in vain, and the lord has been punished by heaven, run away!"
An increasingly unreliable scream spread at an unbelievable speed among Cao Jun's tens of thousands of troops, and the Cao Jun soldiers, who were already frightened because of the sudden change, became even more confused when they heard this, plus Cao Cao's handsome anvil was knocked down because of Cao Cao's previous fall, which intensified the speed of the camp roar.
"Qin ...... Master Qin, you, you are really a god...... Immortal? At first, he didn't have much confidence in Qin Xu's bottles and cans that he had improvised in his hurry, even after capturing the Taishan thieves, the captain of the Xiandeng Battalion, who was still skeptical, looked at Qin Xu with horror in his eyes at this time.
Even the soldiers who had agreed to be brothers with Qin Xu and swore to live and die together when the situation was critical, the eyes that looked at Qin Xu at this time were full of strangeness, and the same thought was born in their hearts. Thanks to the fact that it was Cheng Lian who stayed in the Lu Bu military camp outside Huaicheng before, not Qin Xu, otherwise, with Qin Xu's unpredictable means, the remaining ten of the eight hundred people in the camp must be regarded as burning high incense in the previous life.
Just kidding, although it is said that it is 2,000 against 40,000, in fact, there are only 50 people!
Fifty people! Fifty people can make an army of 40,000 scattered, and even listening to the roars of the Cao soldiers under the mountain, even Cao Cao may die in the chaos.
Is this still something that can be done by man?
It has to be!!
"Master Qin? Master Qin? Just as everyone on the mountain was enjoying the tragic situation of Cao Jun who was scattered and fleeing in a mess under the mountain, Qin Xu, who was regarded as a god by everyone, disappeared.
"Vomit ......"
Fortunately, the hillside was not big, and everyone soon found Qin Xu, who was standing behind him beating his back with the support of Sima Mao and Lao Xu.
At this time, Qin Xu's face was pale, his lips were dry, and he was dragging Lao Xu's arm, spitting out!
The smell of the mixed smell of meat and burnt smell coming from the bottom of the mountain, combined with the red meat paste all over the mountain under the firelight, and bursts of terrible screams came from time to time in his ears, which made Qin Xu, who was just a middle-level white-collar worker in the company in his previous life, embarrassed.
No matter how heroic and heroic he imagined before, after seeing this miserable and tragic scene like hell on earth, Qin Xu couldn't control his stomach anymore, and he almost vomited bile.
"Master Qin! Are you okay? I'm convinced! Zang Ba saw Qin Xu's "unproductive" appearance, and surprisingly did not give birth to half a contempt, standing beside Kong Erzi stunned, laughing and helping Qin Xu pat his back.
"Master Qin's book is mighty!"
"Master Qin's book is mighty!"
"Master Qin's book immortal blessings will be enjoyed forever, and longevity will be with Tianqi!"
"Master Qin's book has been in charge for thousands of years, and he has dominated the rivers and lakes!"
All kinds of chaotic shouts suddenly resounded throughout the small hills. Whether it is trapped in the camp, the first camp or the Taishan thieves who have just been attached, they are all crazy cathartic strength at this time, as if it is difficult to express the complex emotions in their hearts that they have won the rest of their lives after the catastrophe without shouting.
"Cao Jun estimated that it would be difficult for him to have the strength to deal with the lord for a while, and it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time! Grab the rest of the earth bombs, and we'll hurry up and make peace with the main guild. Qin Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief with the help of Lao Xu Zangba and a few people, and commanded a little weakly at the moment.
"No! The last general commands! Whether it was Zang Ba or the other generals present, they all clenched their fists and bowed their hands, and their tones responded respectfully.
"Swear to follow Master Qin!"
"Swear to death, only the master of Qin is the head of the horse!"
The shouts of nearly 2,000 people resounded in the sky.
"Is Cao's head still there?"
When Cao Cao woke up again, he was already in Puyang City, and this opening made the doctor who was guarding the edge of the sickbed suddenly breathe a long sigh, and he didn't have time to answer Cao Cao's question, so he hurriedly went out to inform Cao Jun's civil and military forces.
"The lord is awake? Right? Cao Ren was the first to rush into the room, looking at Cao Cao, who was full of defeat, and almost didn't shed tears. A few months ago, he just defeated the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and was welcomed as the trusted Yanzhou pastor, expanding the army, strengthening the army, rectifying state affairs, and determined to sweep the world with Yanzhou as the foundation and revive the Han family, how high-spirited and full of pride. How did he provoke Lu Bu, especially after getting to know the doll master of Lu Bujun, he was first deflated at Chen Liucheng's night banquet, but now it's good, there are more than one out of ten of the 40,000 army, almost all of the thousands of war horses are scrapped, tens of thousands of stones and grains and grass have turned into ashes, and even he was in a coma for nearly five days before he woke up.
Could it be that this Qin Xu is really the reincarnation of the disaster star of the old Cao family? Not only did Chen Liuqi stun Cheng Yu and Wei Qi, the two strategists and the God of Wealth, but now Cao Cao was in his way, Cao Ren thought helplessly.
"Zixiao, Miaocai and Wen Ze have ever returned? How much combat power does our army still have? Cao Cao forcibly endured his splitting head, glanced at the crowd of civil and military officers gathered around the bed, and asked in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, my lord, Miaocai and Wen Ze are back, although they have been injured, they are all fine, and they are recuperating elsewhere! Nothing is in the way, nothing is in the way! With tears in his eyes, Cao Renhu whispered into Cao Cao's ear and whispered.
"And what about our army? What about Zihe (Cao Chun)? Cao Cao seemed to anticipate something, grabbed Cao Ren's hand, forced himself to sit up, and asked anxiously regardless of the worried eyes of the civil and military forces.
"My lord! This ......" Cao Ren was a little speechless for a while.
"Say! Cao can hold on! Cao Cao took a deep breath, looked straight at Cao Ren with his eyes, gritted his teeth and asked word by word.
"Yes!" Cao Ren sighed heavily and said: "General Xiahou's 20,000 army has lost half of it, half of it has fled, all the war horses have been scrapped, the cavalry has been wiped out, and our army has ......."
"How is our army! At this time, there is still something to hide! Say! Cao Cao's eyes were about to bulge out, staring at Cao Ren deadly, and asked sharply, "What are the casualties of our army?" What were Cao Chun's casualties? ”
"My lord, because of the bombing of the camp, there is not a single ...... of our army's 30,000 troops" Cao Ren looked at Cao Cao carefully, gritted his teeth fiercely, and continued: "Zihe failed to wait for the news of our army's reinforcements, and went out of the city to engage Lu Bu, and after injuring a part, he saw that it was impossible to do anything, so he guarded the city of Jibei and let Lu Bu cross the border to Qingzhou. ”
"Hahahaha!" Cao Cao suddenly let out a burst of wild laughter, and in the end, he slapped the bed and laughed out of tears, and laughed: "The ability of Zihe is really rare!" I did my best to besiege Lu Bu with three armies, and there were huge casualties on both sides, but only Zihe was able to judge the situation, this is my Cao Cao's luck! ”
"My lord! We are guilty! Cao Jun Wenwu was shocked when he heard Cao Cao say this, and knelt on the ground one by one, not daring to raise his head.
"It's okay!" Cao Cao propped himself up violently, got down from the bed, pushed away the hand that the waiter wanted to support, stood on the ground barefoot in only a small coat, and said: "This battle is not about the kings, it is too light on the enemy." I didn't expect that little doll to have such a means, Cao Mou was not unjustly defeated! Since Lu Bu has arrived in Qingzhou, let's get there. I still don't believe that with him, Lu Bu, a young and unrighteous man, can tolerate the big Buddha of someone in Qin. ”
"The meaning of the lord is ......" Xi Zhicai has opposed Cao Cao from the beginning to be an enemy of Lu Bu so easily, but the matter has come to this, seeing Cao Cao's tragic situation, it is not good to say anything, at this moment, seeing that Cao Cao seems to have put the past behind, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked.
"Lu Bu is brave and unparalleled, but governing Qingzhou is not just by bravery. Presumably, the cumbersome state affairs will definitely give us a headache as a flying general. Feng Xian and I, since we are in the same name and adjacent to each other, we naturally want to help our good neighbors! Isn't he short of scribes? I was kind enough to give him a batch! The corners of Cao Cao's mouth curled slightly, and the cold light in his eyes was chilling!
