"How can there still be cavalry? How many soldiers does Liu Miao have? ”

Since the confrontation with Liu Miao, I don't know how many times Tao Qian has asked such a sentence. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Bao glanced at Tao Qian expressionlessly, feeling extremely tired and bored.

Despite this, Cao Bao decisively issued the military order.

"Lu Dai, lead 3,000 cavalry to block the enemy soldiers on the flank!"

"The rest of the generals quickly prepare and retreat from the various departments, and assemble and hold on!"

"Those who have an impact on the formation are killed!"

After giving the order, Cao Bao exhaled, fortunately, there were still 5,000 reserves that had not moved before, and these 5,000 troops were all Danyang elite soldiers, which were Tao Qian's descendants, and there were 3,000 iron cavalry among them. Cao Bao believed that it would be no problem to block the incoming enemy army, as long as the retreating siege force eased up, he would not be afraid of any threat, because the enemy army did not have the advantage of the city, but they still had the advantage of strength.

Cao Bao was most worried about the retreating soldiers, and he looked in the direction of the city gate. Behind the chaotic fleeing siege troops, the drawbridge has been lowered, and a "Xu" character general flag is standing outside the drawbridge, and there are soldiers and horses constantly driving out of the city gate. But the soldiers and horses did not seem to have the intention of pursuing, but only assembled by the moat.

Cao Bao breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the flank again, where a group of men and horses had already appeared, including horse troops and foot soldiers, with no less than two thousand troops. There are three flags first, and a big "Liu" character is written on the center pole, and the left and right sides are respectively "flower" and "Zhang" characters.

It was Liu Miao himself who came, and of course Hua Mulan and Zhang Liao on the left and right.

A few days ago, after Liu Miao learned that Tao Qian had begun to attack the city, he ignored Zang Ba, quietly left Xia Xiang, and approached Xia Pi with all his troops, arriving nearby yesterday.

Early this morning, Tao Qian came out of the nest to capture Pi, so he took the opportunity to take Tao Qian's barracks, and then led troops here, just in time for Tao Qian's army to retreat.

Liu Miao did not rush to attack Tao Qian's army formation, but stopped his troops a stone's throw away from Tao Qian's army, and then ordered Yan Yi to go up and shout.

"Tao Gongzu, my lord invites you to talk before the battle!"

Of course, Tao Qian also noticed Liu Miao's soldiers and horses, and when he heard someone shouting in Liu Miao's array, his already indignant anger rose even more, so he shouted: "Cao Bao, shoot the person who shouted for me!" ”

"This-" Cao Bao was speechless again, and said in his heart that you don't look at the situation, it's already very good that others haven't attacked, and if you provoke others, it's not necessarily who will suffer.

Seeing that Cao Bao didn't move, Tao Qian turned his head and said, "Cao Bao, are you deaf?" ”

Cao Bao suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, pointed to the direction of the city gate of Xiapi, and said lightly: "Lord, thousands of soldiers and horses have also come out of the city, and our defeated troops have not yet stabilized. Then Liu Miao invited the lord to talk, he must want to negotiate, it is better to listen to what he means, and wait for all our sergeants to be assembled, and then it is not too late to deal with him! ”

"Humph!" Tao Qian snorted coldly and stopped talking, he also knew that what Cao Bao said was right, but he was angry in his heart. He hated Liu Miao very much at this time, thinking that if he had the opportunity, he would kill Liu Miao to vent his anger.

Liu Miao didn't know Tao Qian's thoughts, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, Tao Qian was just a dry bone in the mound in his eyes, and he didn't know how many levels worse than the enemies Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao and the like that he might encounter in the future.

At this time, Yan Yi had already finished shouting three times and retreated behind Liu Miao.

Liu Miao saw that there was still no movement on Tao Qian's side, so he beckoned behind him, and some soldiers immediately pushed out two people, both of whom were dressed as scribes and looked lonely, but they were Tao Qian's staff Cao Hong and Wang Lang. These two originally stayed in Tao Qian's barracks, but they didn't want to be broken by Liu Miao and captured them.

"Now let the two of you go to see Tao Gongzu. Tell him that if he goes to the two armies to talk to him, he can bring twenty escorts, and if he doesn't come, he will bear the consequences. ”

After Liu Miao finished speaking, he waved his hand to let the soldiers let them go, and the two looked at Liu Miao with complicated expressions, turned around and walked in the direction of Tao Qian.

"Lord, that's my brother and Mr. Wang!" Cao Bao kept staring at the opposite side, and then saw two people coming over, and recognized them at a glance.

Tao Qian looked at it steadily, and if this was the case, his heart chuckled again, and he had already realized that the barracks in the rear had fallen. His body trembled, and he almost fell to the ground.

Cao Bao looked at Tao Qian, who was supported by his own soldiers, and felt despair in his heart. When the barracks are lost, the food and grass are gone, and the army is in a desperate situation.

"Lord!"

A call woke Tao Qian and Cao Bao from their trance, but it was Cao Hong and Wang Lang who had already come closer.

"How did you get here? Tell me what's going on? Tao Qian stepped forward and grabbed Cao Hong's arm tightly and asked anxiously.

"Lord, after you led the army away, Liu Miao attacked the barracks, and we had few soldiers and failed to hold it." Cao Hong said in a low voice of shame.

The last trace of illusion in Tao Qian's heart was also shattered, and he let go of Cao Hong's arm, and he was at a loss for a while.

Cao Hong continued: "Lord, Liu Miao invited the lord to negotiate, and it seems that he did not mean to kill everything. ”

"Kill everything, what else can you count as killing? Have you beheaded more than 20,000 of us and others? Tao Qian said sharply.

"Lord, the situation is unfavorable now, you have to be patient, and there will be a chance to take revenge in the future." Cao Hong soothed, "It's better for the lord to go and see Liu Miao, Liu Miao is allowed to bring twenty guards with him, and he is the same." Under such circumstances, he did so, which shows that he has no intention of misdeeds. ”

Tao Qian's eyes flickered a few times, and finally obeyed Cao Hong's persuasion in a dejected manner.

When Tao Qian came to the two formations with the Cao brothers and the guards, Liu Miao was already waiting there, there was only Hua Mulan by his side, and the eighteen horsemen of Yanyun who accompanied the guards were all standing behind him.

When Tao Qian saw Liu Miao's young face, his heart was extremely complicated, with surprise, lamentation, and resentment.

"Miao has seen Tao Yuanjun!" Liu Miao smiled and said first.

Tao Qian didn't appreciate it, but looked at Liu Miao's smile and his heart was on fire, and he couldn't help but scold: "Liu Miao, you took my state and county for no reason, you have to give me an explanation!" ”

Hua Mulan saw Tao Qian calling Liu Miao's name, and she also got angry and said: "Old guy, if you dare to be rude, I will pick you with one shot!" ”

Tao Qian glanced at Mulan, saw her handsome face, thought she was a young general, and was even more angry, so he was about to continue to scold, but was stopped by Cao Hong. He can't do it if he doesn't pull it, seeing that Liu Miao's face sank, in case he gets mad, they will definitely be the ones who will suffer in the end.

"Tao Gongzu, it's understandable that you have anger in your heart, but sometimes Chen's tongue is also quick to invite trouble!" Liu Miao saw that Tao Qian was so ignorant, so he didn't continue to give smiles, if it wasn't for the wrong timing, he really didn't mind killing Tao Qian.
