Chapter 117: Retreat from the Enemy (7)

That's when the opportunity finally came. I spotted Cao Cao and shot an arrow. Unexpectedly, he reacted in time, and subconsciously raised his arm sideways to dodge. As a result, the arrow missed his throat, only his shoulder.

At this time, the generals beside Cao Cao couldn't help shouting: "Quick, protect General Cao's retreat!" ”

"Heh, want to escape? It's not that easy. I chuckled, put the purple electricity back, then pulled out the halberd, and gave an order: "Kill!" Then he rode his horse and rushed towards the direction where Cao Cao was.

At this time, one of the generals in Cao's army suddenly said: "It's not good, the thief will be killed; You wait for General Cao to protect him and leave quickly, and I will stop him! ”

But seeing Cao Cao covering his wounds, he couldn't help but say: "Zixu, if you are strong in martial arts, you must be careful before." ”

This general's name is Wei Zi, his son Xu, who was originally Sima under Zhang Miao's account, and was sent by Zhang Miao to be the vanguard with Cao Cao this time. But when he saw him, he said: "General Cao, don't worry, the last general will go." With that, Weeds led a group of men and horses towards me.

Before he could get closer, he saw Weizi shouting: "Thief general, take your life!" ”

I chuckled, but replied, "If you want my life, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it." ”

Immediately, as I approached, Weyz stabbed me with a sudden shot. I swung a halberd in my hand, and he took off his attack, and then staggered past him.

Then I turned my mount back and smiled at him and said, "Marksmanship is good, are you interested in throwing it to me?" ”

saw him snort coldly and said: "Traitor, don't be here with a hippie smile and look at the gun!" With that, he charged at me again with a gun.

I couldn't help but sigh and shake my head and say, "Alas, why be so stubborn as a human being." ”

Immediately, I saw him stab me again. But I didn't dodge or dodge, and poked out a halberd to meet it, only to see the crescent blade immediately pinned the head of his spear. He couldn't help but change his face. I was a little surprised. Then, he tried to pull the gun back again, but he couldn't move for a long time.

I curled the corners of my mouth and said, "Push harder." ”

"Drink!" I saw him shouting, as if he had used the strength to feed, but he still couldn't move for half a minute.

Then I said, "Well, should I think about it again?" ”

He immediately scolded: "Let your mother's bullshit!" ”

I couldn't help but look at him, and then said, "Since you sincerely want to die, then I will give you a ride with great mercy." ”

With that, I used all my strength to crush him to the ground. Then another halberd stabbed him in the throat, and he was instantly devastated on the spot.

I shook my head and said, "It's just for you to surrender." It's not for you to join some criminal gang, why do you have to be so stubborn? Alas, isn't it a pity that such a good year was sent to the battlefield like this? ”

Immediately, I turned my mount and prepared to search for Cao Cao in the chaotic battlefield. Unexpectedly, that guy was gone. I couldn't help but chuckle and shake my head. Anyway, even if he ran fast.

This battle, although Cao Cao and his subordinate generals escaped, almost annihilated all his subordinates. No way. None of them were willing to surrender, so they had to be given a good time.

Subsequently, the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield and got a lot of weapons and armor, as well as food and grass for war horses. I asked the soldiers to burn all the corpses of the enemy. The ashes were sprinkled into the Yellow River, and the rushing water disappeared.

At this time, Xu Rong led his subordinates back. Then he dismounted and arched his hand: "General Qiqiwei, the last general is incompetent, so Cao Cao escaped." ”

I smiled and said, "It's okay, just run." ”

Xu Rong replied: "General Xie Wei's grace of innocence. ”

After cleaning up the battlefield, I ordered Xu Rong to lead the men and horses of my headquarters back to the Tiger Prison Pass, and then led my subordinate soldiers to occupy Xingyang (now Guxing Town). At that time, it was already evening, and I ordered the army to cross the Yellow River through Aocang in the north, and then crossed the Qin River to the east overnight, and captured Juan County (now the original Wuzhen). At this time, our army was about 80 miles away from Yuan Shao's headquarters in Huai County, and only more than 60 miles away from the rebels in Suozao City.

Regarding this battle plan, Qin Yi expressed some worries and said: "What if our army goes to attack Suozao City now, and Yuan Shao suddenly sends troops to attack from behind?" ”

I couldn't help but smile and said, "Yuan Shao will not send troops here." ”

Qin Yi wondered, "Why? ”

I said, "Let me ask you, how many men do we have in our army?" ”

Qin Yi replied: "There are less than 10,000 sergeants and 2,000 war horses. ”

When he fought against Cao Cao before, he lost a few soldiers, so it was less than 10,000.

I asked again, "How many people are there in Sour Date City?" ”

Qin Yi replied: "There are probably more than 100,000 soldiers, and the war horses are not clear." ”

I said: "That's it, I used less than 10,000 people to attack more than 100,000 people, from Yuan Shao's standpoint, is it possible for him to think that Sour Jujube City will be broken by our army?" ”

Qin Yi couldn't help but nod and said, "Oh, I understand; In this way, don't we have no worries? ”

I said, "That's not necessarily, although Yuan Shao is unlikely to send troops to attack the rear of our army, it is possible that he will lead his army to take the opportunity to capture Xiaopingjin Pass; Although Xiaopingjin Pass has the Yellow River as a barrier, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Yuan Shaosheng has many soldiers and horses, and if he wants to attack desperately, it is difficult to say whether he will be captured; Once Xiaopingjin Pass was lost, the gateway to the north of Luoyang was opened. ”

Qin Yi nodded and said, "I see; Although there are worries, that Yuan Shao should not have such courage, after all, Dong Xiangguo is also a person who is good at using soldiers. ”

I nodded and said, "Well, that's true." ”

At this time, Zhang Xiao on the side suddenly asked again: "There are many people and horses in Sour Zao City, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat for a while, how to arrange the army?" ”

I couldn't help but smile and said, "You're right, even if it's just more than 100,000 pigs, we won't be able to kill them for a while; But don't worry, I already have a plan to defeat the defeated enemy, and if it can be successfully implemented, the rebels will be defeated. ”

"Huh." When the generals heard me say this, they couldn't help but laugh.

Immediately, I said, "All right, you are tired from a day's battle; It's not too early now, so let's go back to camp and rest early; Tomorrow, we will treat the soldiers well, and then we will wave our army and aim at Suojube City and fight the rebels! ”

The generals couldn't help but respond in unison: "The last general obeys!" ”

The next day, I waved my army and captured the original martial city thirty miles away. Due to the rapid movement of our army, after receiving the news, the enemy troops in Suozao City were defeated by the ambush we set up before they could come to the rescue.

However, he said that the successive victories of our army in the past few days have made the fighting mood of the officers and men more and more high, and it has also dealt a certain blow to the morale of the enemy troops.

After that, I led the army to continue to march towards Sujube City, and then laid out the battle plan on the way. I ordered: "Feng Yu, I will give you three thousand foot horses, and rush to Tongjiao Pavilion to attack the enemy's grain and grass baggage; If you can't complete such a simple task as burning grain and grass, you don't have to come back to see me. ”

Zhang Xiao responded: "The last general will take the order!" ”

Immediately, I said, "Yilu, give you two thousand horsemen, and go and bring me the main force of the enemy's army; If you can't, you don't have to come back to see me. ”

Qin Yi also responded: "The last general will take orders!" ”

Speaking of which, the strength of our army was already more than ten times higher than that of the enemy, but we still divided our forces to fight. Since ancient times, I am afraid that few people have dared to use soldiers like me. As the saying goes, the brave wins. My best tactic has always been to win more with less, as long as the military quality of my soldiers is good enough, even if the enemy army is much more numerous than ours, I dare to disobey common sense. Of course, fighting a war is not a matter of common sense. (To be continued......)
