Chapter 116: Retreat from the Enemy (6)
Knowing that Cao Cao was the vanguard and led the army to attack, I personally led 10,000 infantry and cavalry to Chenggao to meet the battle. There is a checkpoint in Chenggao called Tiger Prison Pass. This is a Xiongguan, and the general in charge of garrisoning it is Xu Rong, the commander of the Tiger Prison. Remember, the history books say that Cao Cao was defeated by Xu Rong, but I don't know what the specific situation is.
Luoyang is about 120 miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass, and it takes about a day or two to arrive at 10,000 paces and a slow ride. By the time I arrived there with my army, Xu Rong had already fought Cao Cao.
I climbed to the top of the city and looked out of the pass, and found that Cao Cao's troops were stationed two or three miles outside the pass. Immediately, I asked Xu Rong on the side: "I heard that you have already fought with Cao Cao, how is the combat strength of his troops?" ”
Xu Rong said: "Back to General Wei, Cao Cao's soldiers are really trained to be fierce, and the last general fought with him once yesterday, but he failed to win. ”
"Oh?" I was a little surprised when I heard this, but I didn't expect that the current situation would be different from what is recorded in the history books. I groaned for a while, and then said, "It seems that this Cao Cao commander still has two more strokes; It's okay, let the soldiers rest well for the night, and I will meet him myself tomorrow. ”
"No." Xu Rong responded.
The next day, I led 10,000 soldiers and horses out of the pass and drove straight towards Cao's camp. Along the way, you can also see a lot of blood stains on the ground, indicating that yesterday's battle was still a bit tragic.
The scouts of Cao's army discovered our army's men and horses in advance, and hurried back to the camp to report. After a while, a large group of men and horses quickly left the camp and lined up, and at a cursory glance, the number of people was almost the same as that of our army. The commander in charge was none other than Cao Cao, who looked a little obscene, but when he saw that the generals beside him all had resolute faces and cold expressions, they didn't seem to have the slightest fear.
I chuckled and said, "Brother Cao, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you still recognize me?" ”
Suddenly. Cao Cao's expression moved, but he said: "Of course I know, aren't you the famous god general Shaoran." ”
I said, "Brother Cao's eyes are really good, he can recognize me." ”
Cao Cao said: "That is, your god will be known as the unparalleled in the world of martial arts, how dare I Cao not recognize you." ”
When the generals beside Cao Cao heard this, most of them couldn't help but smile contemptuously. But I saw a young general snort lightly and said: "What kind of martial arts are unparalleled in the world, look at how much he looks like a girl, whether he can open the bowstring is not certain." ”
"Haha." The other generals of the Cao army heard this. They all burst out laughing. However, Cao Cao only smiled slightly, although he hadn't seen much of my martial arts, he still didn't dare to despise me too much.
I slightly lowered the corners of my mouth and said, "You boy with a broken mouth, since you dare to say this kind of thing here, you must either have your head caught in the door, or you rely on your own martial arts; If it's not an unknown person, just report it. ”
The general snorted lightly, but said, "You listen to the uncle." The uncle is Sima of the other department under the command of General Fenwu, and Cao Zixiao of Qiaoxian County; What's the matter, are you scared? If you are afraid, you will obediently come over and kowtow to the uncle, and if the uncle is happy for a while, he will spare your dog's life. ”
"Hmph. Look for death! Suddenly, before I could speak, Zhang Xiao on the side became angry. But he pulled out a short gun from behind his back and threw it at Cao Ren.
Cao Cao saw this. Busy said: "Zixiao beware! ”
said that Cao Ren was also a person with martial arts skills in the end, when Zhang Xiao's short spear was thrown at him. He has reacted. I saw him wave the spear in his hand, and he fired the short spear in one fell swoop. However, although he was not injured by Zhang Xiao's short gun, when he received the call, he suddenly felt a strong force coming, which shocked him a little numb. At this moment, Cao Ren couldn't help but be secretly frightened, and looked at Zhang Xiao with a little surprise in his eyes. But looking at the other Cao generals on the side, they couldn't help but show surprise.
In other words, in addition to the overlord gun in his hand, Zhang Xiao also has a stunt that is the five short guns behind him. Because his arm strength was much stronger than that of the average person, a short spear could be thrown by him a hundred meters away, which was almost as effective as a good longbow. It is also because of his relatively strong strength that he can practice overlord marksmanship.
Cao Cao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Cao Ren was fine. Immediately hurriedly said: "Zixiao, in the future, you must not speak arbitrarily, lest you be careless and cause trouble for a while." ”
Cao Ren nodded and said, "I know, brother." ”
I chuckled lightly and said, "It turns out that you are Cao Ren, I thought you were so powerful, and you talked about this ability after a long time." ”
"Hmph." Cao Ren snorted coldly, but didn't say anything.
History books once said that Cao Ren did not practice inspection when he was young, and only began to restrain himself after he grew up and became a general. Looking at the current situation, the eight achievements mentioned began at this time.
I looked at Cao Cao again and said, "There is a military order in our army, which is called "those who surrender will not be killed"; How about it, Brother Cao, are you going to surrender, or go to war directly? ”
Cao Cao said: "I, Cao Mengderong, have been riding horses for half my life, facing battles, and never surrendering; Why do you have to ask so much? ”
I said, "In that case, let's go to war." ”
With that, I put the halberd to the side, picked up the purple lightning and pulled out four arrows to wind, and then aimed at Cao Cao diagonally. The reason why the four strings are put on is to block any possibility for the other party to dodge at once. Suddenly, I couldn't help but think that if I could solve Cao Cao this time, then the future history would definitely be changed because of this.
"Hurry up and put up a big shield!" Seeing this, the generals beside Cao Cao couldn't help but look panicked, and hurriedly instructed the infantry in the front row to quickly set up a big shield and block Cao Cao inside. Then, the shield soldiers of the Cao army shouted and slowly moved towards our army, and the cavalry of the Cao army moved from both flanks and prepared to outflank us.
I lowered the corners of my mouth slightly, put away the three arrows and bit them in my mouth. Immediately, the first arrow shot out without hesitation, and instantly pierced through the gap between the opponent's large shields. But when he heard a Cao sergeant scream immediately, the big shield loosened slightly, and then he was pushed back.
I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows, feeling that these soldiers were indeed some well-trained people, and they reacted quite quickly. Immediately, I said to the people beside me: "Yilu, Feng Yu, you two each lead 3,000 cavalry, go and break the cavalry on both wings for me." ”
"No!" The two took the order and left.
At this moment, I am not in a hurry to attack, because my wishful thinking is to annihilate Cao's army in one fell swoop, and capture or kill Cao Cao alive. As long as Cao Cao dies, there will be no more things that later "coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes".
I took my bow and continued to shoot leisurely, like a sniper on the battlefield, killing anyone as soon as the arrow came out. Gradually, every time my arrow was aimed at a certain direction, Cao Bing in which direction would unconsciously dodge, which was really funny.
Seeing this situation, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, and his face looked a little helpless. Seeing this, Cao Ren on the side was really unwilling, so he said, "Wait for me to shoot that guy!" ”
When Cao Cao heard this, his expression moved, and he had some expectations for Cao Ren in his heart.
However, he said that Cao Ren has practiced archery since he was young, and often goes out hunting with people, so he can be said to be good at archery.
But I watched Cao Ren put his bow on the string, and then an arrow came at me. At that time, I lowered the corners of my mouth slightly and released my fingers. With a bang, the two arrows fell in mid-air. This scene shocked Cao Cao and made him have to show a dumbfounded expression.
At this moment, Cao Ren couldn't help but feel very surprised, as if he didn't expect that my archery skills would be so strong that I could block arrows with arrows.
Then, I hooked my finger at him with the corners of my mouth slightly and motioned for him to continue. But when he snorted coldly, he looked unconvinced, so he shot another arrow at me. I didn't think it was a single arrow, and another arrow came back, and then the two arrows were again in mid-air.
Cao Ren seemed to be unusually unbelieving, and he fired several arrows one after another, but he still failed to hurt a single hair of my hair. In this regard, Cao Cao on the side couldn't help but be stunned.
The battle has progressed to this point, but suddenly things have changed. Xu Rong led a thousand light horsemen to detour dozens of miles along the foot of the mountain, and at this moment appeared from behind Cao's army. The sudden appearance of Xu Rong's troops made Sergeant Cao a little confused for a while, and the situation was more favorable to our army. (To be continued......)
