Chapter 273: Cao's Army Defeated

It was too late for Cao Cao's army to withdraw.

Even at the moment when Cao Ren and Zhang He's defeated army returned, Cao Cao ordered the military horses to withdraw to the Tiger Prison Pass, and he was afraid that it would be too late.

Cao Cao's army was ready to go, and his more than 300,000 military horses were assembled in the Tiger Prison Pass. Not long after Cao Ren and Zhang He's 100,000 vanguard troops left, his military horses began to advance in the direction of Luoyang, and his vanguard had already left the Tiger Prison Pass seven or eight miles away.

At this moment, Cao Cao wants to withdraw his troops? It was really too late.

However, Cao Cao wanted to fight, it was impossible, when he heard that there were 300,000 cavalry troops of the New Han Army, in his heart, there was no idea of fighting with the New Han Army, and he couldn't give birth to the idea of fighting with the New Han Army at all.

The New Han army was 300,000, and his military horses were also more than 300,000. Everyone is equal in strength. Under normal circumstances, Cao Cao may not dare to fight the New Han Army head-on, not to mention that the current New Han Army cavalry is rushing to kill? His military horses, in the process of marching, even if they want to line up to deal with it, are not enough. What's more, a small part of his military horses are still in the Tiger Prison Pass, waiting to get out.

If Cao Cao thought that his Cao army could win a decisive victory against the New Han army, he would not have to take the initiative to seek to sign a non-aggression pact with Liu Yi or something. He may directly seek the opportunity to fight the New Han army. Even, he could directly wave his army north, enter northern Hebei, and work with Yuan Shao to seek an opportunity for a decisive battle with the New Han Army.

Therefore, Cao Cao urgently ordered the army to quickly withdraw to the Tiger Prison.

However, the cavalry of the New Han Army. It's already rushing from afar.

At this time, Cao Cao had just endured back pain, and was supported by Cao Ren and Zhang Yiyi left and right. Reluctantly climbed on the horse's back and sat still.

Hearing the rumbling sound of horses' hooves and the overwhelming shouts of killing, he straightened his waist unnaturally, trying to make his waist as high as possible, so that he could see farther ahead.

At a glance, Cao Cao's face turned pale all of a sudden.

Many, really a lot. As far as the eye can see, the black pressure is pressing, like a dark cloud. Like a tidal wave, it pours in from afar.

The charge of hundreds of thousands of troops, Cao Cao is not unseen, he himself has hundreds of thousands of troops. But. He did not have hundreds of thousands of cavalry.

Hundreds of thousands of cavalry charged. The momentum was amazing, and the heavens and the earth were shaken.

That momentum is really unstoppable.

"Kill!"

The sound of shouting and killing reached Cao Cao's ears very clearly.

Cao Cao saw it, saw that the front army of his Cao army had been rushed forward by the cavalry of the New Han army, and when he was rushed by his cavalry, his military horse. It is like a wall embankment made of sand, which was swept by the waves of the cavalry of the New Han Army. As soon as it rushed, it collapsed in all directions, and was directly submerged in the seawater.

"No, it's impossible...... The New Han Dynasty has obviously lost Liu Yi, and their military morale is in turmoil, but why can their New Han Army still be so aggressive and purposeful, as if they are waiting for me Cao Cao to get into the trap they prepared in advance? Cao Cao was a little stunned by what he saw.

This feeling of powerlessness made Cao Cao's heart empty, and there was a feeling of death in his heart.

He made a lot of calculations, but he really didn't calculate that he would be hit by the cavalry army of the New Han Army.

"My lord! Evacuate! ”

Cao Ren seemed to have been killed by the cavalry of the New Han Army, and when he saw the cavalry of the New Han Army pressing from afar, even if he hadn't killed them yet, he had a kind of panic in his heart for no reason, and at this moment, he just wanted to escape back to the Tiger Prison Pass as soon as possible.

"It's over...... It's really over this time......" Cao Cao was dumbfounded, his expression was terrifyingly white, and he muttered.

The result can already be imagined, his military horses were covered by the cavalry of the New Han Army, and these soldiers who have not had time to withdraw to the Tiger Prison Pass are afraid that they will be slaughtered by the New Han Army.

"Lord ......"

Cao Ren didn't care about 3721, grabbed the reins of Cao Cao's war horse, pulled Cao Cao and withdrew.

The cavalry of the New Han Army not only rushed to kill, but before rushing to kill, they would suddenly release a round of bows and arrows, which were directly shot down by those Cao soldiers who dared to resist, and then directly rushed into Cao Cao's military array. Also, under the high-speed sprint, the cavalry of the New Han Army, depending on the situation, can change to a bow and arrow at any time and use a bow and arrow to kill the enemy.

For example, among Cao Cao's army, there were also many cavalry.

At this moment, although Cao Cao was pessimistic and disappointed about the outcome of the war, the soldiers of the Cao army did have a fierce spirit in their bones. Seeing that it was impossible for them to retreat to the Tiger Prison Pass before the New Han Army cavalry arrived, they spontaneously formed a formation, hoping to resist the charging of the New Han Army cavalry.

Indeed, if it hadn't been for the desperate situation, if he hadn't beaten them to the fullest, and if he hadn't dampened their morale, Cao Jun would not have surrendered lightly. At least, the soldiers of the Cao army really have the courage to show their swords even if they are defeated.

Among them, there were many cavalry of the Cao Army, which rushed up to the cavalry of the New Han Army all over the mountains.

They, holding their spears and spears, were murderous, and they didn't seem to be inferior to the cavalry of the New Han Army, nor did they seem to have any cowardice.

However, it is a pity that they dare to fight, and even, they will be as strong as the cavalry of the New Han Army, and it is unknown who will kill the deer in a real battle, at least, they will definitely be able to give the New Han Army a certain amount of damage.

However, the New Han Army would not be so stupid, and they didn't want to give Cao Cao's cavalry a chance at all. So, a ridiculous situation arises. When Cao Cao's cavalry shouted and killed with their eyes blazing, the cavalry of the New Han Army calmly shot round after round of bows and arrows, shooting the cavalry of the Cao Army who rushed over to pieces. When they can really rush to the front of the New Han Army, and the two sides can meet each other in short arms, they can still sit on horseback and meet the Cao cavalry of the New Han Army, and there are few Liao Liao.

With a charge, the cavalry of the Cao army was completely drowned by the huge waves of the cavalry of the New Han Army, and none of the waves splashed.

Cao's army was defeated. Within seven or eight miles of the direction of Luoyang, it became the battlefield of this cavalry attack.

Cao Jun was killed so that people turned on their backs, and blood flowed like rivers.

Ultimately. The Cao army that could escape back to the Tiger Prison Pass was only tens of thousands of horses.

Of course, fortunately, there is still a small part of Cao Jun, who did not have time to get out of the Tiger Prison. In this way, Cao Cao still had 140,000 or 50,000 military horses. It will not be annihilated.

Cao Cao sat on the top of the tower of the Tiger Prison Pass facing Luoyang, staring blankly at the city, still being chased. Cao Bing, who was still being killed by the cavalry of the New Han Army, was killed underground.

There is a part of Cao Bing. was worried that the New Han Army would directly rush into the Tiger Prison Pass, so he had to close the gate and block the Cao soldiers who had not had time to withdraw from the pass outside the city. Let the cavalry of the New Han Army kill.

Cao Cao's heart was dripping blood. However, it did not help.

At this moment, he has completely lost the vigor he had before, yes. It's just a kind of loneliness. Heroes are lonely.

The change of the times is too fast, so fast that Cao Cao's brain can't turn so fast.

How so? Obviously, it was he who had the advantage, how could he suddenly reverse it?

In his heart, how eager he was to destroy the New Han Dynasty in one fell swoop.

New Han Dynasty, Liu Yi. It's like Cao Cao's nightmare. Driven away.

It's not easy, it's a thousand calculations. killed Liu Yi. The New Han Dynasty lost Liu Yi, is that still his enemy of Cao Cao?

Thinking of him Cao Cao, he is full of eloquence and talent, and in this life, he came to seize the world of the Han Dynasty. However, why did a Liu Yilai pop up?

I'm depressed.

"Ahhh......h

"Oooh oh ......"

Under the Tiger Prison Gate, the war seems to have slowly subsided.

Those Cao soldiers finally lost the will to continue to resist stubbornly, and surrendered on their knees.

Within a few miles, the battlefield visible to the naked eye was full of cavalry of the New Han Army, as well as the corpses of the Cao Army, as well as the Cao soldiers who were scattered everywhere, kneeling on the ground, and surrendering to the New Han Army.

I don't know why, when Cao Cao saw those Cao soldiers who surrendered to the New Han Army, he didn't have the slightest anger in his heart, but had a relaxed feeling of relief. In his eyes, on this day, it seemed that he had seen too many soldiers who had originally followed him lying in pools of blood. Those Cao soldiers, who were fortunate not to die, surrendered to the New Han army to avoid the fate of being in a different place, which made Cao Cao not need to see more blood, and his heart actually had a trace of comfort.

It seems that this can allow him Cao Cao to alleviate the guilt in his heart a little.

Well, those Cao soldiers who knelt on the ground, occasionally someone would turn their heads to look at the Tiger Prison Pass, Cao Cao knew that they should not be able to see him, but it still made him feel like a needle on his back, and he was a little afraid to face the gaze of those Cao soldiers.

Alas, forget it, fortunately, Xun You and Cheng Yu arrived in time, so that he could still keep half of his military horse. If the two military divisions didn't arrive in time, and he rashly dispatched the whole army to Luoyang at once, then he himself might still be in the pursuit of the New Han Army cavalry.

The tiger prison is still in his hands, which is something that Cao Cao still deserves to comfort in his heart.

Now, Liu Yi is dead, the tiger prison is still in his hands, and today's revenge must be avenged in the future. When the Japanese soldiers come to Luoyang and break through Luoyang, they must wash Luoyang in blood and avenge the more than 100,000 soldiers they have died today!

Cao Cao deserves to be called a hero, and now, seeing that the war has been decided, he has no power to return to the sky, so he immediately raised his spirit again and considered his future plans.

However, can Cao Cao really get the Tiger Prison Pass?

Obviously, that's unlikely.

I saw that the cavalry of the New Han Army, after escorting away the Cao soldiers who surrendered, immediately began to clean up the battlefield. Moreover, they also divided their troops and ran far away to the tiger prison to call for battle, and from time to time round after round of bows and arrows were shot at the head of the city.

Well, the Tiger Prison Pass is facing the Central Plains Guard.

Although the city wall facing Luoyang is also majestic, it is not as majestic and solid as the pass city wall facing south, and even the height is much different.

The New Han army shot arrows under the city, and the bow and arrow could barely reach the city.

In this way, the ferocity of Cao's army was aroused, and they also shot at the new Han army under the city. The two sides continued to scold, and it seemed that this battle was not over yet.

And so it went on until after dark.

Cao Cao, who had just arrived at the hall of the official office of the Tiger Prison Pass. He didn't even have time to discuss with a group of military advisers and generals to discuss future plans. Then another soldier broke in in a panic and reported to Cao Cao.

"Prime Minister...... New, New...... The New Han army is about to attack and siege the city...... He, they came all at once, and at once, countless armies ......"

"What's the panic...... What the? You said that the New Han Army came with countless troops? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was shocked again. Huo Di stood up and said, "Where? ”

"I've been killed under the wall north of our Tiger Prison Pass......"

"Let's go! Let's check it out! ”

Cao Cao couldn't sit still, and immediately led the generals to watch.

When Cao Cao arrived at the city, he looked at the snow, and couldn't help but gasp.

At this moment, Cao Cao's thought was that he would never compete with the New Han Dynasty again in the future.

Yas. When did the New Han Dynasty have so many troops?

Hehe, I see, when it's almost dark. Even if the vision is not too clear, it can be seen, on the north side of the Tiger Prison Pass. Facing this side of Luoyang. On this wide plain, as far as the eye can see, almost all of them are black and oppressive military horses.

I thought that the 200,000 or 300,000 cavalry of the New Han Army was already a lot? However, there are really many military horses now, so much that Cao Cao's scalp is numb.

Indeed, the black and black people and horses, count. Cao Cao is afraid that it will be more than a million people.

At this moment, Cao Cao faintly had a stupid feeling that he had stabbed the hornet's nest.

Okay. What are you provoking Liu Yi and provoking the New Han Dynasty?

There are millions of military horses at every turn, how can people fight such a battle?

Well, Cao Cao's observation is not wrong, now, to the north of the Tiger Prison Pass, there are indeed millions of people and horses.

Of course, Cao Cao didn't know that among them, the real soldiers were actually only 400,000 or 500,000 horses, and the others were all young and strong people. This is just that Cao Cao didn't know it for a while.

However, don't underestimate these young people. You must know that almost everyone in the New Han Dynasty has participated in training, although it is impossible for everyone to participate in the formal training of the New Han Army, but everyone will participate in the local escort team, and the local escort team will be directly under the control of the local government, and they will conduct a certain amount of training during the agricultural slack. It can be said that even ordinary young and strong people have a certain amount of combat effectiveness.

Naturally, these young and strong people, they did not come to confront Cao Jun. However, they brought with them siege equipment that made Cao's army lose their victory.

Hundreds of thousands of young and strong people, in fact, did not reach this number, as soon as they heard the call of the imperial court, they immediately assembled, immediately helped the New Han army to carry war materials, they did not stop all the way, overnight catapults, building carts, bed crossbows, etc., from Luoyang to the Tiger Prison Pass.

After the propaganda of the Propaganda Department of the New Han Dynasty, the people of the New Han Dynasty knew about the war and knew that the Tiger Prison Pass had fallen into the hands of Cao Cao.

The New Han Army didn't seem to want to give Cao Cao a chance to plan how to hold the Tiger Pass and how to take revenge on the New Han Dynasty in the future.

In the middle of the night, the trebuchet array of the New Han Army had already been erected.

The sound of rumbling trebuchets began to break the silence.

Well, it's very rude, it's very direct, it's very unreasonable.

A trebuchet bombarded, it was a bombardment overnight.

This night, Cao Cao almost couldn't close his eyes.

The loud bang made Cao Cao's heart tremble, especially when there were one or two screams of his soldiers being hit by trebuchets for a long time, which made Cao Cao's heart rarely feel at ease.

In fact, Cao Cao captured a lot of weapons and equipment of the New Han Army, and in the Tiger Pass, there were also many trebuchets, bed crossbows and other weapons that the New Han Army did not have time to remove and destroy.

Cao Cao saw that the New Han army was endlessly attacking the Tiger Pass. He planned to use the captured weapons of the New Han Dynasty to fight back against the New Han army.

However, when they wanted to use the trebuchets and bed crossbows of the New Han Army, they found that they could not use them at all, mainly because these machines lacked some necessary parts, so that these trebuchets and bed crossbows could not be used at all.

Hehe, how could the New Han Army be so kind and leave the intact trebuchet and bed crossbow to Cao Cao? When the officers and men of the New Han Army evacuated from the Tiger Prison Pass, they were reluctant to destroy these tools when they could not move them, so they only took out some important parts on the trebuchet and bed crossbow, which should not be copied by Cao Jun.

Anyway, Cao Jun was bombarded all night, but they had no way to fight back.

In addition, the northern wall of the Tiger Prison, which had been bombarded overnight, had been bombarded with holes, as if it might be destroyed at any time.

Therefore, after waking up one night, Cao Cao was really pessimistic to the bottom.

He was worried about whether his army would be able to hold the Tiger Pass.

This, the Tiger Prison Pass, which he finally won with great difficulty, really wants Cao Cao to return it to the New Han Dynasty, and he is really unwilling.

"Lord, I think we're going to have to evacuate the Tiger Prison......"

Xun You and Cheng Yu didn't seem to have slept well all night, with dark circles under their eyes, they found Cao Cao's tent early, and said this to Cao Cao when they opened their mouths.

"Just quit like that? Returning the Tiger Prison to the New Han Dynasty? So, don't we get nothing? Cao Cao's heart was really unwilling.

"Alas, lord, this time, we are afraid that we will be miserable by Liu Yi." Xun You said with a worried face: "I'm worried that the New Han Dynasty's blow to us is not over yet." ”

"Huh? What the? Cao Cao's heart tightened, like a frightened bird, he really couldn't stand the fright.

"It is difficult for us to attack the New Han Dynasty, but it is easy for the New Han Dynasty to attack us. Don't forget, in addition to our current Tiger Prison Pass, there is also a Xingyang Pass. Xun You reminded Cao Cao. (To be continued......)
