Chapter 574: Crashing headlong into the ambush circle
Cao Cao followed the prestige, but saw that the warm sun was going down the north mountain, and a general in armor who had lost his helmet and scattered his hair was galloping against the cold northwest wind. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Cangtian, it's Zixiao who came!"
The west wind blew away the messy hair of the coming general, and Cao Cao hurriedly rode his horse to meet him with a scream, and asked urgently: "Zixiao, didn't you lead 10,000 infantry troops to stop that Zhang Ren?" How did you make such a mess? What the hell is going on? β
Cao Ren is extremely talented in commanding the army, this time he brought 10,000 foot soldiers to prevent Zhang Ren from returning to Gucheng, but now he actually ran here alone, Cao Cao really didn't dare to imagine what kind of disaster he suffered?
"Meng De," Cao Ren saw Cao Cao, and even called out in a hurry, "and I don't have time to say this, our army's Luoyang City will be in great trouble, you can quickly lead the army to hurry back to help, if it's too late, I'm afraid it'll be too late!" β
"What?"
As soon as he heard that Luoyang was in danger, Cao Cao was so shocked that Mao was blown up, you must know that the current Luoyang City is not just a simple matter of a military town.
There is still a large amount of equipment and grain and grass for his western expedition, if this is lost, how can he and his subordinates get it?
Coupled with the letter from Cao Ren, Cao Cao did not dare to slack off and hurriedly gave orders.
"Lu Bu and Zhang Liao quickly led the remaining cavalry, rushed back to Luoyang City as fast as possible, and gave a certain army to help those who were strictly forbidden to go out of the city to fight, and only allowed to defend the city;
Dian Wei sent an order to Xia Houyuan, asking him to lead the army to return to Luoyang City immediately, and the rest of the people would all turn their heads to the east with the front army in the rear, and go back to Luoyang City with the fastest speed! β
"Whoa!"
The generals of the Cao army heard Cao Cao's order, and hurriedly responded loudly, and then the war horses shook up dust, and the soldiers scattered their footsteps, and the army of more than 70,000 turned their heads and hurried towards Luoyang City in the east.
After Cao Cao gave the order, he remembered that Luoyang City still had Yu Ban leading an army of 10,000 to defend the town, and Yu Ban was good at commanding troops and could be regarded as a wise and brave general.
In addition, his army rushed back in a hurry, so Luoyang City should not be too dangerous, so he asked Cao Ren about the specific situation on horseback with a slightly wider heart.
Cao Ren saw Cao Cao asking, and told Cao Cao what happened with a bitter face.
But it turned out that Cao Ren was cautious by nature, and after receiving Cao Cao's general order to lead the army out of the city to the north, although he knew that Zhang Ren and Gan Chi only had more than 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 foot soldiers in Pingyin County.
And in the east, Cao Xiu led an army of 10,000 to deter, but he still didn't dare to slack off the Yuansa scout to find out the news, he led the army slowly forward, and nothing special happened along the way.
It wasn't until the sun rose to the east that the sky and the earth were clear, and when Cao Ren led the army less than three miles south of Pingyin County, he suddenly received a scout report: "The smoke in front of the eyes is blind, and there is a faint chaotic sound of fighting in the east, and it seems that an army is fighting." β
It's not good, Cao Ren was shocked and thought that he hadn't seen his target Zhang Ren along the way, and now there was a battle in the east.
Could it be that Zhang Ren's intention to mobilize troops was not to lead the army back to Gucheng, but to attack my nephew Wenlie?
Thinking of this, Cao Ren's heart was shocked!
You must know that although Cao Xiu said that the bow and horse are skilled and the martial arts are strong, it depends on who he compares with, this Zhang Ren is a famous general in Chengdu and has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and his martial arts have already been so amazing that even he doesn't dare to win.
What's even more terrifying is that this fang is very good at using soldiers, although Cao Xiu is brave, he is young after all, he is afraid that he can't stop him, not to mention that Zhang Ren has a Ganchi by his side to lead the army to help.
Thinking of this, Cao Ren hurriedly waved his knife and shouted: "Zhong Erlang obeys the order, first take wet wipes and cover his face, and then the sword and shield accompany the spear in front, and the archer will wind up the arrow and then march, the whole army should pay attention to maintaining a good formation and identify the direction of Pingyin County, and quickly follow the general to support Cao Xiu!" β
"Wow!"
Cao Ren gave an order, and his subordinates hurriedly followed the order, and after a while, they were ready to follow the order and slowly touched the south of Pingyin County with Cao Ren submerged into the smoke.
After Cao Ren entered the smoke first, he only felt that the smoke became denser and denser, and it was gradually as difficult to see as if a person had closed his eyes, and the sound of fighting from the east was getting louder and louder.
Cao Ren was anxious about Cao Xiu's safety and felt that it was gradually difficult to breathe, that kind of taste was really uncomfortable, but fortunately Cao Ren also had other plans in his heart so that he would not be too uncomfortable.
Cao Ren had already secretly deduced that Cao Xiu had 10,000 infantry troops accompanying him, and the east of Pingyin County was the junction of the Yellow River and Beimangshan.
Therefore, the terrain there is not too open, and Zhang Ren only has 10,000 troops in hand, so if he wants to defeat Cao Xiu, he must use his army.
That is to say, the current Pingyin County is a void, and he will take advantage of the situation to occupy Pingyin County first, and then suddenly kill Zhang Ren from behind, and then Zhang Renjun will inevitably be in chaos.
At that time, he will be undefeated under the attack of himself and Cao Xiu on both sides? This kind of plan makes Cao Ren feel excited when he thinks about it, so he doesn't feel that the road is difficult.
It's a pity that the world is impermanent after all, when Cao Renxing hurriedly led the army to break through the thick smoke, he was drenched in a basin of cold water and even his heart was cold.
Because he was greeted not by the empty Pingyin County, but by a neat Huafei army, and a general rushed towards him on horseback, and shouted loudly: "Extinguish the smoke and kill the enemy, and those who descend will not be killed!" β
Cao Ren saw that the halberd in his hand was a hairpin bird feather, and it was the right general of the Huafei Army-Gan Ning and Gan Xingba, and he was startled when he landed, and hurriedly waved his sword and shouted: "Spears, swords, and shields line up to meet the enemy, and the archers shoot forward!" β
Cao Ren was able to react like this when he suddenly encountered a strong enemy, but it was a pity that his order was ordered, and the left and right ribs suddenly roared: "Kneel down and die, and those who descend will not be killed-rush!" β
Only then did Cao Ren know that the Hua Fei army that was ambushing him was not only one but three ways, and Cao Ren, who woke up, almost burst into tears at that time.
He never imagined that he and his subordinates would run all the way, and in the end they would plunge into the ambush circle of Hua Feijun.
When he was about to command the troops to meet the enemy, Gan Ning, who was rushing forward, had already slashed down with a halberd of "oh", only to be so startled that Cao Ren hurriedly waved his knife to meet the enemy.
Gan Ning's halberd method was domineering, and Cao Ren was so busy that he couldn't get out to command the army to meet the enemy in a hurry, so under the three-way attack of Hua Fei's army, the Cao army who encountered an ambush was defeated.
Seeing the situation, Cao Ren hurriedly fought to set up the Ganning halberd, and fled in the direction of Luoyang City in the east, thinking about defending the base of Luoyang first.
Unexpectedly, just as he shouted "retreat" and fled eastward, an army in front of him swung away, and the first general waved his gun and shouted: "Chengdu Zhang Ren is here, Cao Zixiao can quickly dismount and die!" β
Cao Ren saw that Zhang Ren led the army to block the way, but he didn't dare to go to Luoyang City anymore, so he hurriedly turned his horse's head and hurriedly went to the southwest to find Cao Cao's news.
Take the detour as the straight, attack me and save me!
After Cao Cao, Guo Jia and the others listened to Cao Ren's words containing a lot of water, they couldn't help but float this sentence in their hearts, and they all felt bad.
Cao Cao's talent naturally understood that Cao Ren said this in detail in order to exonerate himself, indicating that this defeat was really caused by Hua Feijun's too cunning and not his incompetence.
However, none of this is important, the important thing is that Gan Ning, the commander of Hua Fei's army, appeared in Pingyin County, and in addition to Zhang Ren, there were two armies to attack Cao Ren.
In this way, the strength of Huafei's army in Pingyin County is only as high as more than 40,000 people, and there are nearly 30,000 people missing, that is to say, in the Luoyang area, the total number of troops invested by Huafei has reached more than 70,000 people.
After the defeat of the self-army in LΓΌ Bu and Cao Ren, the total defeat was sharply reduced to only more than 100,000, of which 10,000 were defending Luoyang City, and 20,000 were attacking Yique Pass in the south, and the troops on hand were almost the same as Hua Fei.
And his own army of 70,000 is still halfway there, but Gan Ning and other troops of the Huafei Army are now afraid that they have launched an attack on Luoyang after defeating Cao Ren.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt that Luoyang City, which was only defended by the ban on the introduction of 10,000 infantry troops, was already in danger, so he hurriedly shouted an order in the cold northwest wind,
In addition to weapons and banners, the subordinates of the urgent command abandoned all the light equipment and returned to Luoyang City at full speed.
The Cao army was ordered, and hurriedly abandoned the siege equipment and other things, and rushed towards Luoyang City, which was like a life, with a great increase in speed. (To be continued.) )
