The enemy was running ahead, slipping as fast as he could. Cao Ren, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, led the soldiers and horses to chase after him and caught up. Although Cao Hong had made all kinds of arrangements for Jiangling City at the beginning, just to prevent someone from taking advantage of the opportunity for him to lead the Jiangling defenders to rescue Cao Cao and seize the city in chaos, Cao Hong, who thought that the enemy did not have this ability, only responded to this and did not pay much attention to it. He thought that it would be good to just put on such a shelf, but he thought that the enemy really appeared in front of him, and he really wanted to rely on the few 500 cavalry to attack Gangneung City.

"It's an idiot." Cao Ren pursed his lips and smiled shamefully. Siege with cavalry? He felt that he had seen the most funny silly thing in the world.

"Gangneung is the kind of big city with high walls and deep pools, how can you just let you idiots take it like this?" Seeing that the other party was really galloping like the wind, and there was indeed a plan to rush into the city, he couldn't help it. If there is anything wrong with Cao Ren's strategy of intimidating the empty city: it is one that encounters a madman-like reckless general, and the other party directly attacks the city, and engages those soldiers in the city is another. Although there are still 2,000 men and horses guarding Jiangling City at present, which is really four times that of those who came in terms of troops, Cao Ren clearly understands that the 2,000 people in the city are really unreliable at all, they are all old and weak, and their combat strength is so low that they can't even compare to the 300 people who are guarding outside the city. It's okay to let them go to the city and wave their flags and shout, but if they really want to resist the five hundred cavalry who are about to rush into the city, I'm afraid that they will be the ones who will collapse in the end.

“…… Once the city collapses, what is our outside the city? Cao Hong felt that it would be a very shameful thing to let go of the 500 enemies. So, at the moment when the enemy approached the city, he couldn't wait to rush out of the woods where he was ambushing his soldiers and horses, and with a shout, he wanted to lead people to kill the enemy in front of him. After all, for Cao Hong, who has been patient with boredom, these people are undoubtedly the best prey, and this prey is so weak, everything is not like playing in Cao Hong's opinion? Cao Hong even vaguely saw his army trampled on them—compared to their few 500 men, Cao Hong's 8,000 men were indeed a large army.

The army is eye-catching. As soon as Cao Hong and the others came out of the woods, they were looked at by the other party's eyeliner. Because Cao Hong's side was under the banner of a general, which was slightly different from the other side, the other party shouted, and vaguely gave an order by voice, but he abandoned the big Jiangling City and did not fight, and went straight to Cao Hong's side.

"How daring. He actually wanted to shake my 4,000 people with those 500 soldiers. I really shouldn't say that he was brave or stupid. Cao Hong pouted indifferently, but there was excitement in his eyes. For the enemy's turn, it is the most to his heart. Although if the other party wants to rush into the city and fight with the other party in the end, it will take a lot of effort after all, how can it be like this now, but it looks like a tight one? At that moment, Cao Hong waved his hand lightly, that is, he also wanted his soldiers to meet and meet the other party's 500 people.

No fish, shrimp is good. This is the thought in Cao Hong's heart. In his opinion, since he was in such a small place and could not participate in a big battle, he could only do his best to deal with the small things in front of him. It's good to play with the guy on the other side. That's what he thinks at the moment. He didn't see it as a battle, he saw them as a game.

The two sides approached rapidly, from 300 zhang to 200 zhang, and then 100 zhang and then 50 zhang. At this distance, under the watchful eyes of all Cao soldiers, the attacking enemy made a move that was incomprehensible to them: they dispersed the ranks with a sigh of relief, handed over the weapons they had held in their hands to their own hands that held the reins, and freed one hand and pounded it into the bags behind them. Soon, they all pulled out a few things that seemed to be the size of eggs from their bags. What are these things? The soldiers of Cao's army did not know, they knew that at this distance of twenty-five zhang, the other party did not put on a battle appearance.

"Did they just come and fight us? That's stupid, isn't it? The soldiers of Cao's army thought strangely, but they still did not hesitate to put their spears in their hands and prepare to charge - there were only ten zhang left, and in a few moments, the teams on both sides would collide together. When that time comes, the knives and guns on your side will be able to drink the blood of these people. Like his own generals, Cao Hong's cavalry were equally confident in their victory.

However, Cao Hong felt that something was wrong: "How come the other party is still not ready to pick up a knife and gun to fight at such a distance?" Looking at them like this, I'm afraid they want to throw something in their hands over. Well? Fling......? Suddenly reading the word, Cao Hong's heart suddenly struck: "The last time I pursued Liu Beijun, I heard Cao Chun, who was in the front, talk about his suffering?" It seems that you have encountered a group of guys who can throw the thunder out and attack the enemy? Aren't these people saying this? Well, that's quite possible, after all, they're from the south, too. ”

Suddenly, Cao Hong's heart was alert, and he was about to shout loudly to remind his sergeants to pay attention, but he didn't want to be a step slow after all. Seven feet, above this extremely close distance, but when he saw the other party raise his hand, he threw the things in his hand at him overwhelmingly-the other party's attack had already begun.

There was a thunderous sound in the evening when the sun was about to end, and the sound was so joint that it made everyone's ears ring. Except for Zhao Yun's department, which had already been prepared, everyone on Cao Hong's side was blinded all of a sudden. There was a guy in front of him, and they screamed one by one. This is still the lucky part of them, if they are not lucky, they will have already become bloody minced flesh everywhere. The thick blood mixed with the heavy smoke of gunpowder, the rising patch of loess, blinded everyone's sight, and they were terrified and did not know what was happening.

The roar of the sound did not last long, and the shaking of the earth did not last, but out of fear of the unknown, the people on Cao Hong's side were very frightened. Although they didn't get into chaos in the first place because of their elite training, the fear in their hearts still made them stop moving for a while. Until......

The raised loess gradually dispersed, and the roar in the ears gradually weakened, and when everything was gradually perceived, Cao Hong on this side was surprised to find that the enemy on the opposite side, the group of people who caused all these consequences, had already turned the horse's head and kicked the dust away. Looking at it like this, it seems that it is about to escape.

"What is this?" Cao Hong was unhappy in his heart, and he was even more annoyed. He looked at the dead and wounded in front of him, and then at the mess on the left and right, but it was a great luck in misfortune. Although the crowd looked a little unsightly, the real casualties were only the two hundred or so people in front. This wave of offensive in front of him, although powerful, was not enough to hurt his muscles and bones. "It's just a matter of getting angry." Cao Hong looked at the people around him and found that they all had the same thoughts as himself, and they were all really angry by the enemy's attack. "They must not be spared." Cao Hong thought like this, but his face was black and frightened, and he gave a loud order, but he rushed forward with his subordinates. Grab the guy in front of you and cut them with a thousand knives, this is the greatest wish in everyone's hearts. Cao Hong was not afraid of retreating from the other party's ambush, firstly, he had been blinded by anger, and he couldn't think of this at all; Second, it is also Cao Ren's own estimate: if they only have so many people, then their rear team will not be huge. Cao Hong believed that the other side would definitely not have as many soldiers as his own.

Then the earth shook. The momentum caused by nearly 10,000 people galloping on horses on the vast plain is not something ordinary people can imagine. Cao Hong, who was already annoyed in his heart, desperately chased after the enemy in front of him, and he kept whipping his mount wildly, making the originally tame good horse under him become a little crazy, almost like their master.

The whirring wind came to mind, and the scenery on both sides kept falling backwards, and soon they were ten miles away from Gangneung City in pursuit of each other. This is already a considerable distance, it is already a little far away from Gangneung City, but to the south is a rolling river, where there is the garrison of the Gangneung naval army.

It was already completely dark, and the cold wind in the winter moon was blowing. Although in the land of Jingzhou in the south, the east wind is not as biting as the north, but this wind that always carries a chill blows on Cao Hong's face, but it also makes him involuntarily feel a stirring, and his heart is alert.

He looked back at Gangneung behind him, and saw that the tall city wall had become blurred in the darkness, and only some faint ones remained. Cao Hong understood that he was a little more than the order that his brother repeatedly told him not to chase the enemy and leave the city for five miles, but seeing that the enemy was still wandering not far in front of him, he always made his heart move. Do you want to chase it down? Cao Hong hesitated, firstly, he had already chased so far, and it was really a little reluctant to give up like this, and secondly, the enemy was not really out of his sight, and he always thought that he could completely catch up with them if he tried harder, which also made him feel the temptation of hope. The so-called military exploits are just around the corner, how can you just give up?

"Let's kill it like that." Cao Hong secretly puffed himself up in his heart, "Anyway, the order has been violated like this, and no matter how you go back, you will be punished." If there is no merit, it is just a scolding and demotion. If you can eliminate the people in front of you, then maybe you can save everything with military merit? Cao Hong calculated and felt that the attack seemed to be more in his own interests, so he regained his courage and shouted: "The enemy is in front of you, everyone is rushing with me!" Drive them down the river like this. ”

"Oh!" Cao Hong's cheers resonated in everyone's hearts. For these majestic and high-spirited crazy people who only think only of revenge, retreating back is undoubtedly a cowardly act. Although they were already a little tired after such a long pursuit, their pride as the elite of Cao's army did not allow them to retreat until they had destroyed the enemy in front of them. In their view, it is only right to move forward and destroy all the enemies. Especially when the bastard in front of him also hurt a lot of his comrades.

"No one can hurt us with impunity." This is the voice of their hearts.

Different strong soldiers have different characteristics of strong soldiers. However, no matter how different their characteristics are, the pride of being a strong person is the same. In the absence of utter despair or strict orders from above, moving forward is the only thing they can do when they are attacked. The strong will never retreat when they are not necessary. Just like what Cao Jun is looking for.

The pursuit continued after a turn of Cao Hong's head. It's just that unlike the distance of the pursuit of the enemy in front of him, the guy in front may be quite tired by this time, and the speed of escape seems to be a little slower than that in front of him. Cao Hong clearly saw their backs enlarge little by little in his eyes, which made him feel excited, and the smile on his face bloomed like a flower.

However, his smile didn't last long on his face...... A thunderous roar rang out from behind them, causing them to turn their heads once again, having just suffered from this. Although they couldn't really see what happened to Gangneung behind them in the dark, the irregular sparks that rose from the direction of Gangneung made them understand that this so-called "change" was definitely not a good thing.

"Damn, I've fallen for the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain." Cao Hong scolded hatefully, and the hot sweat on his body suddenly became cold. Although he has always agreed that his lord's life is much more important than this Gangneung, this does not mean that he knows the importance of Gangneung Castle. At the thought that Gangneung City would fall behind him like this because of the desire to win in front of him, he suddenly regretted and became annoyed. "Withdraw! Fast! Fast! He roared eagerly, turned around first, and galloped in the direction of Gangneung. What to pursue and destroy the enemy has become an empty talk at this moment. Rushing back quickly and driving the enemy away before the enemy completely captures Gangneung is the most important thing for his people at the moment. Cao Hong, who was extremely anxious in his heart, galloped wildly, and subconsciously let out a low roar like a beast in his mouth - he hated.

After all, things are not as simple as imagined, Cao Hong found a mistake here and wanted to withdraw it like this, but Zhao Yun over there disagreed. When the direction of Cao Hong's men and horses turned around, the rumbling sound of horses stepping on the earth sounded again on the left and right flanks of Cao Hongjun. It is clear that another enemy is coming.

"How many enemies are there?" Cao Hong didn't know that when he found that there were enemies on his left and right again, he was flustered. It was dark now, and the person who came had not lit an open torch, and there was a blur in front of him, and he couldn't understand the real situation at all, which made Cao Hong uncomfortable. He listened intently, trying to find something in the sound of the horse's hooves, but he failed—he couldn't hear anything when he was running. There is no way, Cao Hong can only hope for the speed of his side at the moment. He only thought that as long as his side could quickly break through the opponent's flank, as for how much loss he would suffer because of this, he was going to admit it. After all, there is no way to do it. For the current Cao army, the most important thing is to return to Jiangling as soon as possible, and then defend Jiangling. Of course, before that, they have to deal with the current light card.

The levels are not so easy. Cao Hong's idea of rushing out like this before the other party reflected it was actually a bit whimsical. Maybe he was in a hurry, maybe he was so lucky, but whatever his initial thoughts, he inevitably suffered a terrible blow like a nightmare.

"Never underestimate the enemy......" This is what Cao Hong has been warning himself and others since he escaped with his life. Originally, with his somewhat frivolous personality, it was impossible to come to such a conclusion, but tonight's events, everything happened to shock him too much.

Cao Hong had heard of and seen the novel attack method once, but he still had no way to deal with this kind of attack. When hundreds of bamboo tubes smashed down and caused an astonishing explosion, his ears were filled with the throbbing pain, and although he had the heart, he was powerless to sit and watch everything happen: the cavalry on both sides were killed and wounded in such an explosion; Countless frightened horses, flying their hooves frantically - out of the instinct to sense danger, they were eager to get out of here, but helplessly found that they had no way to leave.

The ranks were in disarray, and it was the kind of rout that messed up. The endless darkness, the screams and howls in his ears, and the non-combat attrition that he could think of anytime and anywhere with his toes, made Cao Hong's heart become cold in an instant. In the face of the current situation, don't say that he is Cao Hong, I am afraid that it is the reincarnation of Sun Wu and the rebirth of Wu Qi, and there is no way to reverse the situation. At this moment, the team is no longer under his Cao Hong's control, and even Cao Hong himself is constantly encountering people who want to trample on him in the chaos of drifting.

"Is the other party really the one who has mastered the heavenly thunder?" Zi doesn't say anything about the power of gods, and even Confucian students who have some skills don't believe in this, let alone Cao Hong, who has always fought on the battlefield of life and death. Generally speaking, he doesn't believe in this, but he only knows for himself where the horror is. After experiencing everything in his own life, Cao Hong couldn't help but wonder if the other party was really the legendary heavenly soldier and general. After all, what he was experiencing now was an existence that had subverted his decades-old perception of something he had never encountered before.

The bombardment was only one time, and the soldiers and horses of both sides were completely handed over. The speed of contact between the cavalry and the cavalry was extremely rapid. Originally, Zhao Yun estimated that he could at least cast one round, but the facts in front of him told him that this was simply whimsical. Perhaps the success of the neat and hierarchical arrangement of the infantry array would allow the bombardier to throw a few times at a distance of about fifteen zhang, but at the speed of the cavalry this was absolutely impossible. This is one of the differences between cavalry and infantry. Zhao Yunyan quickly discovered this and quickly gave the order to attack. Although the chaos of the other party at the moment is much less than the result he wants, he is still in the kind of chaos that makes the general crazy.

“…… As long as the command is effective, that can be ......" Zhao Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, and his shrewdness flashed in the darkness, making the hearts of the soldiers who followed him excited.

"The general has an idea again." They became excited, because they knew that if there was such a thing, it basically meant that they were already about eighty percent sure of this battle. If nothing happens, victory is already in hand. For soldiers, there is no one who does not like victory, and naturally Zhao Yun and his sergeants are no exception.

To tell the truth, Zhao Yun did not lead more than 10,000 troops to fight: when he was under Gongsun Chan in the past, although Gongsun Chan admired him, he didn't value him, so naturally he wouldn't let him lead a large army; Later, when he came to Li Sheng, although Li Sheng valued and admired him, he did not let him lead a large army because of Li Sheng's own strategic arrangements and needed him to do something else. From beginning to end, Zhao Yun did not lead more than 5,000 people. It is impossible for him not to have a trace of resentment about this, but with his personality, he will never put such dissatisfaction on the surface to influence the orders given by the lord. He had never done this under Gongsun's account before, not to mention that Li Sheng had promised him that if this operation was successful, he would merge this "mobile cavalry" unit with the cavalry trained by Zhao Yun to form a separate cavalry unit, and Zhao Yun was the general of this newly established cavalry unit, and had the supreme command of this fifteen-thousand-man army. Such a promise made Zhao Yun's heart move, after all, this was something he had been looking forward to for a long time.

Zhao Yun lightly led the team to wander through Cao Hong's already chaotic team. He was only a blow to everyone who passed by him, and he never handed out his spear a second time, whether it was over or not. It's not because of his arrogance or any other personal reason, but because he knows very well that mobility is very important in such an environment. If you don't want to get your own team involved in this mess, there's nothing you can do but do that.

Entering the room with no thickness, this is the tactics used by Zhao Yun at the moment. Although this can accurately summarize Zhao Yun's current actions in such a simple sentence, behind this simplicity is Zhao Yun's extremely superb command skills. Because if you want to do this, you must definitely command the team in your hands as flexibly as your fingers. It's not that easy to achieve. As far as Zhao Yun himself is concerned, if it weren't for the fact that the current commander's soldiers and horses are only 2,000, and there are still a large number of outstanding middle and low-level officers in the army, I am afraid that he himself has thought of it, but there is no way to achieve it.

"It's hard to understand, but it's very effective." Thinking like this, Zhao Yun not only showed a knowing smile on his face. Li Sheng, who has married his sister Zhao Yun, is not just the lord for him, he is also his brother-in-law, and one of his only relatives in this world. has been under Li Sheng for so long, and he has married Li Sheng, and Zhao Yun's loyalty has been placed on Li Sheng. As for Liu Bei, he has gradually faded from his heart. After experiencing the battle of Nagasaka, he thought that he no longer owed Liu Bei anything, and everything that should have been paid off had been paid off.

"Kill ......!" Zhao Yun roared, the spear in his hand stabbed out like flying lightning, and then quickly recovered, and rode past a Cao army cavalryman. As if nothing had happened, the Cao soldier was still sitting on the horse, as if he was going to pass safely like this, but it was impossible after all - against a general of the same rank as himself, Zhao Yun might still have the possibility of being dodged by the other party for one or two hits, but in dealing with a small soldier, this kind of "mistake" was absolutely impossible. That Cao Bing had not yet run out of the three zhang, and he was no longer able to maintain his self-reliant body, his body seemed to be removed by someone himself, and it was a straight fold from the position of the lower abdomen, but it was directly damaged by Zhao Yun's shot in his lower abdomen, making him unable to get up. The sharp pain in his body spread all over his body, and he wanted to scream loudly, but he had no strength, and finally he could only go blindly, and fell into the dust.

Excellent hit. If this is a heads-up, it is undoubtedly true. However, this is not a heads-up. No matter how dazzling Zhao Yun's moves were, in this chaotic place, everything could only be carried out according to rigid calculations. Life is no longer life here, and although life passes away at any time, it is only a numerical addition or subtraction at this moment.

The thunderous explosion still resounded on the battlefield. It's just that unlike the original, it didn't form a continuous roar, but only a sound from east to west. Zhao Yun did not have many people, and they were divided into three parts, each of which was only 500 people at most, which was a drop in the ocean compared to Cao Hong's nearly 10,000 people. With Zhao Yun's shrewdness, he categorically would not divide the already small enough troops again. So, he finally chose to charge in a "cluster". Of course, this so-called "cluster" is really pitifully small. It's just that this sparrow, although small, has all kinds of organs:

At the outermost end of the cluster were undoubtedly the soldiers with spears, while at the inner level of the cluster were the "grenadier" cavalry guarded by pikes. This continuous lightning strike was done by them. The combination of pikemen and grenadiers constitutes the main body of Zhao Yun's cavalry, and the dozens of archers wrapped in the innermost part of this combination are the final guarantee for Zhao Yun's cavalry. These are all good players that Zhao Yun asked for from Huang Zhong, and they are not known for their fast arrows. Their most noteworthy thing is their ability to block strikes. Being able to do fifteen zhang in such darkness, nine out of ten arrows, and the middle of them are all killed with one arrow, this is where their strength lies. Zhao Yun wanted them, not to use their blocking to kill and injure many enemies, but to use their hits to bring peace of mind to his team. The so-called "Dinghai Divine Needle", their role in Zhao Yun is undoubtedly the same.

The battle continues. Although Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses are far less than Cao Hong's, as long as Cao Hong's heart is not here, Cao Hong's cavalry will always be scattered, so there is no doubt that only Zhao Yun will have the upper hand on this battlefield. This is an obvious thing, Zhao Yun understands, and Cao Hong also understands. However, due to the importance of Gangneung, even if Cao Hong understood, he could not have any energy to change this fact. He only thought about going back, and returned to Gangneung with some soldiers and horses. From the team that Zhao Yun attacked, he estimated the scale that Li Sheng would use to deal with Jiangling this time—it was not a lot, only a few thousand. In Cao Hong's opinion, as long as he can go back, then there is still hope for everything to be set right.

So he rode his horse and galloped. Using the people under his command, he quickly ran out of Xu Yuan. Although he could still hear the fighting on the field behind him, he felt a little safe. At this moment, he was about forty zhang away from Zhao Yun, which was a fairly "safe" distance.

Of course, this is also for ordinary people, at least for Zhao Yun, this distance is nothing. Zhao Yun wanted victory, a victory that could be called a complete victory. Therefore, it is impossible for him to put Cao Hong back like this. Although it was still in the dark and his vision was quite affected, Zhao Yun still took his bow and arrows and shot a feather quickly. The goal is Cao Hong's heart......
