On the slope of the wild mountain, Cao Hu lay in a hidden shack made of wild grass, staring at the Hangu Pass three or four miles away dt.com

Above and below the wall, the number of Sizhou soldiers on duty is still not much, how can it exceed 100 people.

But Cao Hu still knew that something was wrong.

As one of the scout leaders in Cao Cao's army, some trivial things in the reconnaissance area on weekdays will attract his attention, not to mention the weirdness of Henan for several days.

The grain sent to the west to the military horse farm sent to the west, and the Henan intelligence that the scouts from all over the place had been summed up before, made Cao Hu vaguely understand that all variables should be outside Hangu Pass.

However, three days ago, two scouts under the command of Sizhou, who pretended to be a merchant traveler to obtain a street sign and infiltrated Sizhou before the battle, were ordered by Cao Hu to enter Hangu Pass, but no news came back.

In the past few days, the Hangu Pass has been completely open during the day and closed at night. It's just that Cao Hu led three subordinates to stay here for five days, not only entered the customs and did not come back, but saw a lot of people traveling to the west to avoid the disaster of war, but only occasionally a few horses Sizhou to report out of the customs, in addition to no one out of the east.

What exactly is outside Hangu Pass?

The open hole in the city gate, like the open mouth of the blood of a giant beast, can only be swallowed in, but not spit out.

What happened to the scouts who entered the customs? Do you want to send someone into the customs again? Is it because the people of Guanzhong are afraid of the war and no longer go east? Or has the Liangzhou accident affected the land of Sanfu? Or is Sizhou's big conspiracy against Cao Jun hidden in Hongnong outside Hangu Pass?

There seemed to be a faint sound of shouting and killing in his ears, of course Cao Hu knew that it was an illusion, although according to the previous military situation, it should have been a day and a half for Meng De's army to attack Luoyang City, but the two were nearly four hundred miles apart, and it was impossible to hear any sound here.

Obviously, the situation is completely favorable to his family, but Cao Hu is still inexplicably restless.

Henan County, which has an abundant population of money and food, is far better than any county under Cao Cao's rule, and even the number of households in Yanzhou, which is now dilapidated, cannot be compared, and the dignitaries in Cao's army have long been greedy. Although Cao Hu is not a dignitary, he also hopes to get a piece of the pie in Henan.

Compared with other middle and low-level officers in the army, Cao Hu has another advantage - his surname is Cao, and he is of the same clan as Cao Cao, although he is not as noble as Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Ang and other junctures in the Cao family, but because of this surname, he also has a great advantage among middle and low-level officers.

If Meng De can get into Henan. Cao Hu is a fellow clan, and he has military merits. I don't know how much money and food slaves and maids will be rewarded?

Although Cao Cao has three states now, he has been tight several times, and since he sought wealth and nobility, Cao Hu's income is not much, and it can only be said that it is slightly better than when he was a citizen before.

It's just that with the various special things under Deng Ji's rule, based on the understanding over the years, Cao Hu faintly feels that it will not be so easy to obtain Henan.

I'm afraid that Sizhou will have some back. At this juncture, he suddenly turned the tables again, so that what he wanted finally became a dream.

The more it came, the more panicked I felt.

Counting the days, by the time Meng De began to besiege Luoyang yesterday, this uneasiness became more and more serious.

As a small person, he has no ability to influence the overall situation. At this moment, Cao Hu could only stare at Hangu Pass. Looking forward to Deng Ji's war on three sides, he was trapped by Yuan Shao Ma Chao, and he couldn't care about ruling this fundamental place.

Afraid of being discovered by the defenders on the wall, the temporary shack where he hid was built low, and only two people could climb the nest, and another group of scouts hiding in the back of the hill came to change shifts. Cao Hu refused, he wanted to keep an eye on it himself, and he couldn't make any mistakes.

From sunrise to midday, the time is near.

In two hours, it will be dark, and there will be nothing to do today, Cao Hu exhaled softly. Put away the restlessness slightly and turn your head in the direction of the sun.

Meng De has to hurry up, it's not easy for the army to stay for every extra day under Deng Mu'an's rule, don't make me anxious to wait.

He prayed secretly for a while, and when he turned back, there seemed to be several horsemen and horses coming out of the pass in the distance.

Isn't it just the ears that are hallucinating, but also the eyes? Cao Hu was stunned for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, there was another line of knights who came out of the customs.

It's not dazzling, they're real people.

The first row of five horses is tied together, and the same is true for the second row, which is neatly arranged.

Finally someone is out of Kanto?

In the third and fourth rows, row after row of knights let their horses run out at a steady pace, and soon twenty rows of knights went out, and after a little five or seven breaths, the second twenty rows began to go out.

Five riders in a row, twenty rows are 100 riders.

Most of the knights who went out of the customs were holding halberds and bows, although a few of them were wearing armor, but they were not ordinary merchants.

Deng Ji's reinforcements from Liangzhou Sanfu?

Cao Hu began to get nervous, and he was a little puzzled, the war in Sizhou was tight, and it was rare for the overall situation to collapse, in such a situation, could he still draw one or two thousand soldiers back to help Henan?

Under Cao Hu's nervous gaze, Hangu Pass continued to swallow out the knights, and after riding every twenty rows, after a short period of time, they slowly ran out of the cavalry as if they had begun.

Cao Hu didn't have a military banner, so he could only use his not very good skills to silently count the cavalry that had come out of the pass.

It's just that before the Hangu Gate, the number of cavalry that mechanically went out was desperate.

After the twentieth and twentieth lines, the cavalry team that had left the pass was already nearly a mile long, but behind the damn doorway, the cavalry queue seemed to be endless.

Five riding a line, twenty lines is a tun, after a tun, a slight stop of five or seven breaths, the next tun people and horses out of the customs.

When and where did Deng Muan hide these many soldiers? Did all the information we've found gone wrong?

Several scouts hiding behind the mountain had also noticed the abnormality, and at this time, they didn't care about exposing themselves, led their mounts, and gathered to Cao Hu.

Cao Hu ordered one person to go to Luoyang as soon as possible: "Tell Cao Gong quickly, Sizhou reinforcements sent a letter to Guguan, no less than two thousand!" ”

The soldiers and horses of Sizhou who came out of Guguan did not care about the Cao army scouts hidden around, and no one came to expel and intercept them.

Soon after, Cao Hu counted to the second twenty lines, and four thousand horsemen had already left the pass.

Cao Hu ordered the second scout to report to Cao Cao: "Sizhou reinforcements sent a letter to Guguan, no less than four thousand!" ”

Soon after, a third scout was dispatched.

The three scouts returned, and the Sizhou reinforcements that went out of the customs were more than 6,000.

Cao Hu's heart was already cold, such a big omission was committed by him and other scouts.

It no longer matters when such an omission occurred, what matters is that what was brought to Cao Cao's army may be a catastrophe!

Gu Sheng, the general of Henan who only cared about harassment before, has been shrinking Zhao Yun, the cavalry general of Liang County, to block the waterway Xiongguan. and this new army of unknown Sizhou that suddenly came out will form a big net that is impossible to break.

Caught in this big net is the main army of their own Cao Ying, the two surnames of the Cao family and the Xiahou family who have worked hard for several years!

If they can escape back to the south bank of Luoshui, the few people in Cao's army who have mounts may be able to flee for their lives, but the main foot soldiers are difficult to fly!

Without these pawns, what would Meng De rely on to protect the land of the three states?

No matter how desperate Cao Hu is. Hangu Pass was still the same as just now, and the cavalry of five people went out in a row.

Row by row. The team moved forward.

For every 2,000 more horsemen out of the pass, Cao Hu had to send one person to report to Cao Cao's army, and sent five scouts back and forth to finally stop this momentum.

This Sizhou army, which has no military flag, has a number of about 10,000 people, and the black pressure is discharged five or six miles long snake formation, and it seems that the order will be given after the whole army leaves the customs, and the front suddenly accelerates the speed, and soon the whole team gallops.

This is not a tiger tooth riding mighty Kou Rock Guard. It is not any known army under Deng Mu'an's command, but their equipment riding skills are not much different from several elites, Cao Hu believes that each cavalry is absolutely qualified Sizhou soldiers, not pretending, this is an unexpected cavalry new force, Cao Mengde, who has no defense and is deep in the enemy's belly before the troops are scattered, can he be defeated?

The land of Henan County will never be obtained! Imaginary money, food, slaves, and maids. Eventually, you can't get it! Meng De's army was attacked by this raid, and if it was all folded in Henan, the land of Yanyu and Xu Sanzhou might change hands!

What will happen to Cao's proud surname in the future?

Huangliang's dream was shattered, Cao Hu's face was like ashes, and he said to the remaining subordinates: "You and others will go back to the camp!" ”

At this moment. Several scouts also knew that something was wrong and asked him, "Where will Ran Gong go?" ”

"The army is dead, where are we villains, where are we buried?" Cao Hu picked up his bow, spear and sword, led his mount, and turned over on his horse. Long exhale: "The army is defeated, you may be able to ask to surrender and live, but the son of the Cao family cannot surrender and is unwilling to surrender, and he will die here first!" ”

After speaking, he hit the horse downhill, and one person and one rode towards the Sizhou brigade.

In order to listen to the military situation, the scouts did not even wear armor, Cao Hu was dressed like ordinary people, and when he rushed towards the army, no one in the Sizhou army even determined that he was a Cao army scout, his surname was Cao.

Within 100 steps, Cao Hu bent his bow and shot arrows first, and after three arrows, regardless of whether he had made achievements or not, he abandoned his bow and rushed with a spear.

It's just that before he got close, even the people and horses were shot like hedgehogs by the archers in the team, and they could only fall to the ground and die.

Cao Jun scouts changed to the Chinese army in the starry night, but Xu Huang led the Henan youth army to march not slowly, the war horse traveled nearly 400 miles in two days, Cao Cao waited for the first wave of scouts only two or three hours later, and the youth army vanguard had begun to fight with the periphery of Cao Ying.

Cao Cao besieged the city for four days, Luoyang is the root of Deng Ji, the people stick to the city is not unexpected, but there are no soldiers in the city to hold on, it is expected that the will and morale of the people defending the city will be consumed for three or five days, and the city should be broken. However, at this time, the meteor-like scout returned, and heard that tens of thousands of Sizhou troops were attacking and killing in Hangu Pass, how could everyone in Cao Cao's account not have a numb scalp?

You must know that just to seize the time to capture Luoyang, what trenches and deer firewood to resist horses, Cao Jun's military camp did not do any measures to protect against the impact of cavalry.

At this time when the scouts rushed to report first, Cao Cao only had time to gather most of the foot soldiers and reluctantly line up to meet them.

At the critical moment, Meng De was also very scheming, expecting that his own family would be in a big disadvantage, and fell into Tian Feng's calculations, regardless of Xun Yu's opposition, he urgently ordered a hundred light cavalry to escort the strategists to withdraw from Luoshui first.

The rest of Cao Cao personally led the generals, and the army formed a formation to retreat slowly, and then crossed the Luoshui.

It's just that at this moment, the morale of Cao Yingzhong has plummeted, and the Qingzhou soldiers who have surrendered from the vast number of yellow turbans have been shaken severely, and the army has no will to fight, and there is no possibility of fighting against the water.

When Xu Huang's army arrived, the young army clashed several times, and the Cao army was defeated, and the people who knelt on the ground and begged to surrender in the chaotic army did not know how many.

Fortunately, Xiahou Yuan on the south bank of Luoshui resisted Gu Sheng, and Lejin Li Dian had desperately built a pontoon bridge under the harassment of Henan sailors, and he could lead Cao Cao across the river.

At this time, Zhao Yun also rushed out of Liang County, broke the 2,000 tiger and leopard horsemen and people led by Xiahoudun, and intercepted Cao's return with Gu Sheng.

As if he was ambushed on ten sides, he threw away his armor from Cao Cao, and only cared about running for his life, and escaped from Liang County, Zhao Yunshang did not spare him, and did not retreat until the defeated army returned to Yangzhai.

When Cao Cao inspected the defeated army, all the infantry were lost in Henan, needless to say, the cavalry and the tiger and leopard cavalry were less than 3,000 horsemen.

In addition, the military general Zhong Wei continued to die in battle, Zhu Ling and Lu Qian were captured, and the strategist Xun You was also captured.

Less than half of the people who were recruited to join the army eventually fled home. For a time, it was said that Cao Cao was exhausted. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for the recommendation ticket, your support is my biggest motivation. )
