Between Luoyang and Caoyang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
A cavalry team of 1,000 people was slowly moving forward, led by Niu Jin, the general of the Xiliang Army.
This time, he had successfully completed the task assigned to him by Zhang Liao, cut off the connection between Luoyang and Yongning, Mianchi and Caoyang, and sent someone to pretend to be the Jiangdong Army of Luoyang to ask for help in the three cities, so that the three cities were left empty and the door was wide open.
This plan was devised by Cao Ang, and Niu Jin led a thousand cavalry to carry it out.
Everything went well, and Zhang Liao and Cao Ang also captured Yongning, Mianchi, and Cao Yang as they wished. Due to the change in Chang'an, Zhang Liao was recalled by Lu Bu, leaving Cao Ang with 2,000 men and horses in Caoyang to wait for Niu Jin's return.
The back road was surrounded, and Qiao Rui had to be saved. Unfortunately, after Qiao Rui led the army to Luoyang, he met with Sun Jian, and Cao Ang's plan to hide from the world was discovered.
In order to cover Zhang Liao's army to attack the city smoothly, Niu Jin came up with a clever plan, that is, to lead the troubled water to the east, leading Sun Jian and Qiao Rui's noses all the way to the east to the tiger prison.
The circle was too big, and the time took longer, a total of ten days.
But it was worth it, because Niu Jin had already completed his task, and as long as he rushed to Caoyang to join the army there, he could rest easy.
Thinking of Sun Jian and Qiao Rui's furious appearance, Niu Jin smiled and smiled happily. Not only Niu Jin himself, but even all his subordinates obeyed Niu Jin's clever plan.
"General, this time our army successfully withdrew westward, and you have made great contributions. After you go back, General Zhang Liao will definitely reward you! ”
"Don't worry, it's all thanks to the brothers! When General Zhang Liao rewards him, I will definitely give it to you. When the time comes, a few of our brothers will go to Baihualou to be happy! ”
"Thank you, General! Don't say it, these days you can't eat, and the birds are hungry! ”
"Well, that's it!" Niu Jin was blown proudly and a little carried away!
"Report!" He came and rode over, and it was the scout horse that had been sent out.
"What's the matter?" Niu Jin stared, although he was a little annoyed, but he couldn't hide the joy in his heart.
"There's a forest in front! General, are we going to take a detour? "Tanma told the situation, and it was their duty to explore the way in the mountains.
Niu Jin hesitated, and someone next to him reminded: "General, don't enter every forest!" Let's take a detour! ”
If it had been placed before, the cautious Niu Jin Tie would have listened. But now it's not good, and Niu Jin, who has a tall tail, can't listen to other people's advice for a long time.
"What are you doing all that far away!" Niu Jin glared and said, "I remember, this is where we walked when we came." Now that Sun Jian and Qiao Rui are eating ashes behind our butts, how can there be someone in ambush in the forest! Pass my order, and the whole army will pass slowly! ”
"Yes!" When the generals responded, they beckoned the cavalry to keep in formation and march towards the woods.
They had already been convinced by Niu Jin, and after listening to Niu Jin's reprimand, they also felt that it was very reasonable, so they stopped arguing.
A dozen or so horses were the first to rush into the woods, and they didn't notice anything wrong.
Nearly a thousand cavalry slowly pressed in, like an old turtle hurrying slowly.
"Archer, release the arrow!"
"Kill me!"
Suddenly, there was a terrifying roar in the woods.
The cavalry had only come in with more than 200 people, but the dozen or so people who had advanced in front had already touched the stumbling rope, and even the men and horses fell to the ground.
"There's an ambush!"
Before they died, these people finally let out a final roar, and the self-satisfied Niu Jin trembled.
Feathered arrows rained down from the sky without warning, killing dozens of cavalrymen in one fell swoop. The rest of the cavalry began to panic, but fortunately there were trees around them, otherwise they would have died more.
"General, what should I do?" Someone reminded.
I don't know how many enemies are in ambush in the woods, and if you rush over, you can only throw yourself into the net.
"The whole army retreats, quickly detour!" Niu Jin only came to his senses at this time and hurriedly gave an order.
After several rounds of shooting, Niu Jin's 1,000 horsemen had already lost 200 horses, and they all followed Niu Jin and began to turn around and escape.
The army in the woods erected a banner with the word "Sun" high, led by the young general Sun Ce and the veteran general Huang Gai, both riding war horses and looking coldly at the retreating Xiliang cavalry.
"I'm Jiangdong Sun Ce, Niu Jin Xiao'er hasn't surrendered quickly!" Sun Ce roared loudly, brandished the spear in his hand, and chased after him.
"Jiangdong sons, go into battle with the young general to kill the enemy!" Huang Gai also snorted and slashed to death a Xiliang cavalry who fell to the ground.
Sun Ce deserved to be the little overlord of Jiangdong, a spear made Ru deep, and he chased the defeated Niu Jin army by himself, and picked up more than ten cavalrymen.
Its courage is as powerful as a tiger, and its power is extremely domineering!
Niu Jin had no intention of fighting for a long time, and under the leadership of several personal guards, he fled to the front.
After the Xiliang cavalry encountered an ambush, they had already been frightened, and when they saw that the main general fled without a fight, they followed Niu Jin to flee for their lives like lost dogs.
"Major General, don't rush into pursuit!" Huang Gai also rushed over, and the ghost head knife in his hand was stained with blood.
"My father was a prophet and ambushed five thousand soldiers and horses here. Otherwise, he will be run away by Niu Jin, a thief. Sun Ce's eyes were full of excitement, it was so cool to go into battle to kill the enemy!
Looking at the world, there are really few people who can enter Sun Ce's eyes!
The 5,000 Jiangdong Army was all killed, as if the mountains were overwhelming, and the momentum was very terrifying!
"It's a pity that I didn't catch Niu Jin, a thief, to vent the hatred in my heart!" Huang Gai said hatefully, he walked east from Luoyang for a few days, and then turned back to Luoyang to the west, and ambushed here, it was too hard!
"What's so hard about that? Niu Jin, the thief, must have gone to Mianchi and Caoyang first to replenish supplies, and they were all soldiers left behind by Qiaorui. As long as we keep up quietly, we will be able to catch him off guard again! Sun Ce analyzed it with confidence.
"But the general explained that he just ambushed Niu Jin and taught him a lesson, and didn't let us go to Caoyang again!" Although Huang Gai felt that Sun Ce was right, he also had to express his concerns.
"The battle is fleeting, and it's a good time to wreak havoc on the enemy!" Where could Sun Ce listen to Huang Gai's suggestion, and said with a smile: "We don't go into the pond, we go straight to Cao Yang, and we can't catch up with Niu Jin, the little thief, and wipe out the rest of his army!" ”
"The general's brilliant plan! It's just that it's not good to go back when the time comes! Huang Gai breathed a sigh of relief, only if he saw that it was good, he would receive it to last, and if he had to sell it cheaply, he would not have a big problem.
"Don't worry, when my father knows that we have won, he will definitely only be happy, and he will not punish you and me. If something happens, I'll take care of everything! Sun Ce said disapprerovingly.
"Yes!"
"Pass my order, march quickly, and go straight to Cao Yang! Be sure to block the way of the cow gold thief! Sun Ce commanded in high spirits.
"Understood!" The Jiangdong soldiers suddenly received the order, like a tiger going out to forage for food, and stretched out their minions towards Cao Yang.
