Chapter 45 The enemy army retreats and is in danger

At this moment, the sound of war drums, which had been 'dong dong' above Pengcheng, suddenly stopped. And the sound of 'ding ding' was instantly a big hit.

Tai Shi Ci and Da Shuai heard the sound and didn't know what was going on? However, because he was worried about the loss of the city, he quickly led the army to collect his troops and return according to the order.

On the way back to the army, everyone suddenly heard the neighing of horses from the people in the rear. Cao Cao in the Cao army village saw Cao Ren's military horse, and about 20,000 elite soldiers arrived.

Cao Cao got this army horse, and he was a little settled in his heart. Hurriedly opened the gate of the village to welcome the army into the village. After careful questioning, I learned that it was Cao Ren who was ordered to lead his troops to the northwest corner and lay out a defensive formation.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of the Chinese army's gold, and was afraid that the Chinese army would lose, so he urgently ordered the deputy general to lead 20,000 troops back to the rescue. Cao Cao was overjoyed, so he ordered the generals to urgently lead the army and gather the scattered rout.

By the time the generals gathered their horses and returned, the sun had sunk in the west. Cao Cao pointed out the military horses, and for a while he wanted to cry without tears!

Since last night, it has been even deeper, after a series of ambushes and bloody battles. The army under his command included Cao Ren's military horses. It turned out to be a sharp decrease of more than 130,000 people!

Even if you add the wounded soldiers who stayed in Xiao County because of the attack last night. Its total strength is less than 200,000.

That night, Cao Cao received information from Cao Ren. It is said that the enemy's reinforcements have formed a camp at a dangerous point.

He was worried that the army would be tired after a long battle, and he was afraid that he would be attacked by Huafei's traitors again. In addition, the enemy's reinforcements have arrived, and it is useless to fight again. Then he lit torches overnight and ordered the army to slowly retreat to Xiao County.

And after Tai Shici and others collected their troops and returned to the city, they were meeting Hua Fei who was coming out of the city.

Wu Xu, who was anxious, didn't wait for everyone to speak, and asked first: "My lord! Why did you withdraw your troops at this time? We were about to break the gate and kill Cao Cao. ”

Hua Fei turned the beads, smiled, and glanced at him. waved his hand to dispatch men first, to prepare the guard, and then ordered people to clean up the battlefield.

In the end, the marshal and the second general who stayed in place and wondered. He slowly opened his voice and said: "Because, the so-called reinforcements were arranged by me at all, and the sentry saw that the enemy army was returning to defense, so he withdrew his troops." ”

It was only under Hua Fei's explanation that I learned that the so-called reinforcements. At all, it was only used by Hua Fei because of his talents, and he ordered Mu Yuan, a wrestler, to lead the suspicious soldiers arranged by the people.

Hua Fei was afraid that Cao Cao would not believe it, so he ordered Tai Shi Cifei to pass on the letter to Cao Cao. The so-called threat is nothing more than a cover. His real purpose lies in the sentence that inadvertently mentioned Lu Zhu asking for reinforcements.

As for the banner waving the yellow dust, it is even simpler. It was Mu Yuan who was tricked by him, and used bamboo to clamp the banner and other things, and ordered the people to resist each other and walk, creating the illusion that the banner was sweeping the army.

Then he ordered the people to drag the branches around their waists. It is also a good example of learning from the third master, using hundreds of war horses to drag tree branches to scratch the dust, forming a phenomenon of smoke and dust soaring into the sky.

As for those who have been in ambush for almost a day, the marshal and his subordinates are a backup trick. If the troops around Cao Cao are not empty, they will play the role of suspicious soldiers at the critical moment.

And when Cao Cao's side was empty, the troops were empty. They will turn into a sharp blade and plunge directly into the chest of the enemy. This is all Huafei's plan.

When Hua Fei finished speaking, Wu Xu, who opened his mouth wide, and Tai Shici, who looked incredible, were inexplicably surprised. Even the masked handsome man is full of little stars.

After a long time, the marshal high-fived and sighed: "Anticipate the enemy's aircraft first, take precautions!" Sir, it's amazing! ”

Hua Fei waved his hand and smiled: "You are so awarded!" In fact, when Cao Cao ordered his three fierce generals to be the striker, I was also taken aback. Fortunately, there are still marksmen like Ziyi in our army. ”

When Tai Shi Ci heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The lord said this, it really makes Ziyi ashamed!" If it is not for the lord's immediacy, let people tell the way to strike the enemy. No matter how accurate Ci is, he is afraid that he will not want to hurt a single hair of Na Dian Wei. ”

Hua Fei smiled: "Ziyi, you are too humble. ”

Tai Shici also smiled, and secretly sighed in his heart, after having this lord. His martial arts are invisibly like they are at a higher level.

The handsome man also nodded, thinking to himself: "These two people, one literary and one martial, match each other, they really have some invincible appearances in the world..."

saw Wu Xu's eyes shining, and shouted loudly: "My lord! You are so insidious! ”

saw Hua Fei raise his foot, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Oh! No, I mean you're wise! Teach me a trick too, so that I can be as majestic as Ziyi? ”

Hua Fei scolded with a smile: "A tendon that is not greedy enough!" Didn't I teach you a trick in the last battle in front of Jiuli Mountain? Let's go, let's go to the castle tower with me first. ”

As he spoke, he turned around and led the three generals and the heralds, and walked towards the city. Wu Xu hurriedly caught up and said loudly: "I mean, like Ziyi, a shameless trick to shoot people with a bow and arrow!" ”

Tai Shi Ci was furious when he heard this, and he opened his mouth and scolded: "This is called tactics, how can it be shameless?" You don't know anything! ”

After scolding, he pointed at Wu Xu again, and shouted to Hua Fei: "Lord! This guy, since he thinks our tactics are shameless. In Yici's opinion, you still don't want to teach him well. ”

When Wu Xu heard that the power was cut off, he opened his eyes and was stunned in place. It's too stupid to curse yourself in your heart.

But Hua Fei asked as he walked, "Wu Xu, you can also shoot arrows?" ”

As soon as Wu Xu heard that there was a play, he hurriedly caught up. As he ran, he patted his chest and replied, "Don't worry, my lord!" Archery is a job, and Lao Wu is very proficient. When the marshal heard this, he trembled slightly.

Hua Fei smiled and walked slowly with Da Shuai. Again, he asked, "Did you shoot accurately?" ”

As soon as Wu Xu heard this, he was stunned for a while, and replied with a squeak: "This... This one... It's not as accurate as Ziyi. ”

As soon as the big handsome heard this, he directly hugged his bucket waist, squatted on the ground and trembled. Hua Fei was shocked when he saw this, and thought that he was injured something, so he hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

But I heard the big handsome scolded in a suppressed laugh and a hoarse voice: "Wu Xu, you are a fool!" If you can't say it, you can't say it's okay, you have to say that it's not as good as Ziyi? ”

He paused for a few breaths before he continued: "Just like you, the guy who misses the target with eight out of ten arrows is embarrassed to pat his chest and say, you are very good at this life?" ”

Wu Xu scratched his head with his hand when he heard this, and smirked at the three of them in a daze. Tai Shi Ci glanced at him when he heard this, and laughed out loud.

Hua Fei stared at him with a smile for a long time, then turned the Buddha bead and said secretly: "Although this product is loyal and brave, it seems that it is a little unsafe!" If you want to use him in the future, you have to be careful. ”

After the handsome man straightened up, Hua Fei took the three of them into the main hall of the city tower in the smell of blood. The four of them sat separately, and the guards went to get food and water.

The four of them chatted while eating, Hua Fei ate some food, and stopped: "Now that Cao's army has retreated to Xiao County, the battle has temporarily stopped. However, with Cao Cao's wisdom and martial arts! I will definitely know soon that what Mu Yuan and others have laid is an empty village. ”

After a slight pause, he said again: "Cao Cao is wise, even if he knows that he has fallen for my plan, he will not be angry and raise troops. It's just that he will still be unwilling. And Pengcheng is after the war today. ”

He said in a somewhat heavy tone: "The damage of the defenders is as high as nearly 20,000 people, and the damage of the elite soldiers has reached more than 7,000 people, and the current strength is already extremely weak. ”

As he spoke, he stood up, turned the Buddha beads twice, and said, "Cao Cao must be clear about this." Although the casualties of his army are unknown, I expect that he still has about 200,000 soldiers to fight. ”

He paced and continued: "And Peng Cheng, he is bound to win. Therefore, the great war is likely to be there, and it will come again early tomorrow morning. ”

When Wu Xu heard this, he pushed away the food in a hurry, jumped up and shouted, "My lord! So what to do? We can still fight now, but there are less than 10,000 people! ”

He paused slightly and lowered his head to calculate, and said hurriedly: "And there are only less than 3,000 elite soldiers, which can't even be rotated!" At that time, if the Cao army attacks like today, then this Pengcheng will be broken! ”
