385. Cao Wenzhao was captured
Cao Wenzhao was taken aback, the fire bolt obviously didn't light the fire rope, but it actually fired...... This is really a subversive understanding, let alone dodging, he didn't even keep up with his thinking, he only felt the mournful neighing of the war horse that stepped down, and he fell down.
Before the war horse fell to the ground, he rushed down from the horse's back, stepping on the strength, he secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and it was estimated that he would not be able to escape. When trapped in the enemy's formation, having a horse and not having a horse are completely two concepts, once the military general falls off the horse, don't want to kill the general from the chaos even if you have the ability to go through the sky.
He put his heart horizontally, and for today's plan, he can only continue to move forward, and fight one by one.
Cao Wenzhao's goal is, of course, to spell out Zhu Yuanzhang, but other than that, he has no other ideas. He held the gun in both hands and pressed forward. The place where he fell off the horse just now was only ten steps away from Zhu Yuanzhang, and he stepped forward in a few big steps, only to see Zhu Yuanzhang standing still, so he roared, stabbed desperately with both hands, and the tip of the gun trembled, stabbing Zhu Yuanzhang in front of the door.
Seeing that he was about to succeed, he saw the figure around Zhu Yuanzhang shaking, and several shields moved from the side side, blocking Zhu Yuanzhang's face, Cao Wenzhao stabbed a shot on the front shield, and the wrist of the person holding the shield trembled, obviously the strength was not as great as Cao Wenzhao, but he didn't see how much loss he had, and he actually blocked this shot stubbornly.
The man with the shield laughed and said, "Baishui Ma Xiaotian is here, if you want to touch Bugling Zhu, pass me first." ”
Ma Xiaotianhou showed dozens of shields again, and thirty-five guards poured out together, protecting Zhu Yuanzhang layer by layer. Cao Wenzhao only glanced at it, and knew that there was no play! This group of people has a calm gaze, a resolute expression, they are neatly dressed and armored, and the most rare thing is that the standing position is not messy at all. Everyone knew very well where they should stand, and in which direction the shield was to be raised, just by their strict standing, not to mention him alone, even if two hundred people came, they would not want to break through their defenses in a short time.
However, the above ones are still secondary, and the most important thing is that their bodies exude a momentum that they will not hesitate to die for Zhu Ba, as long as they keep this momentum and do not kill them all. It is impossible to touch a single hair of Zhu Ba.
"It's Zhu Ba's family soldiers...... Cao Wenzhao's first thought was this, but then he couldn't help but scold in his heart: "The thief actually supports the family and soldiers, and it's a bit outrageous." ”
He already knew that it was absolutely impossible to hurt Zhu Ba, and he was desperate, just wanting to escape back to his own formation. Look back. Hundreds of his own soldiers were still trapped in the chaos, and it was impossible for them to rush to help. turned around and rushed back to kill, Zhu Yuanzhang's thirty-five guards did not come to chase him, let him run.
He rushed a few steps forward, and saw a tower-like man standing in front of him, it was the second king of Baishui who had just handed over, Wang Er was shot in the thigh and shed a lot of blood, but this man actually gritted his teeth and held on. At this time, he was holding an iron gun to block Cao Wenzhao's retreat.
"If your subordinates are defeated, dare you come again?" Cao Wenzhao shouted angrily.
"I'm not as good as you in horse fighting, and now I'll fight again in foot combat." Wang Er roared and pounced with a gun.
Cao Wenzhao frowned slightly. Just now when he was on the horse, he saw that Wang Er's lower plate was unstable, but now that he was fighting on the ground, he found that Wang Er's steps were extremely calm, although his thigh was injured. The step was still as steady as Mount Tai, and when he stepped up, his momentum was striking, and the iron spear in his hand was much heavier than on horseback.
Cao Wenzhao raised a gun, and there was a loud bang on the ground, and he was actually shocked back two steps...... Just now on horseback, he was still half a pound and eight taels, but at this time he fell behind.
"What a reckless man!" Cao Wenzhao was secretly anxious, and the iron spear in his hand was skillful, and two spear flowers flashed out with one shot. Wang Er laughed, waved his gun, and the ingenuity of his moves was unabashed. The two of them made two or three moves, and Cao Wenzhao had a slight advantage, but he didn't have an overwhelming advantage as if he was on horseback just now.
He knew that this was half sad, so he dragged the gun and ran horizontally, but he didn't expect to run two or three steps, and there was a woman who looked like a giant gorilla in front of him, it was Yingshanhong. Cao Wenzhao didn't say anything, she stabbed head-on, Yingshanhong waved an iron rod to greet her, her moves were the same as Wang Er, although she was slightly worse than Wang Er, but it was not something that Cao Wenzhao could put down in one or two moves. Moreover, Yingshanhong used to run the rivers and lakes to perform arts, and her dexterous work was better than that of Wang Er, and Cao Wenzhao knew that this road was not going to work after a few moves.
He turned around and ran to the other side, but saw Miao Mei, Feishan Tiger, and Big Red Wolf standing in a zigzag shape, blocking his last retreat.
Cao Wenzhao sighed, there were no soldiers and no generals around him, and there were no reinforcements on the periphery, and the 4,500 people he brought had been beaten by the thieves and were on the verge of collapse......
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw his action, he hurriedly shouted: "Stop him, he wants to kill himself!" ”
Wang Er, Yingshanhong, Miao Mei, Feishan Tiger, and Big Red Wolf pounced forward at the same time, and before Cao Wenzhao's sword was raised to his neck, he was pounced down by five people and pressed to the ground.
"Thief Ann dares to insult me?" Cao Wenzhao said angrily: "I will not be a prisoner. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, first ordered him to be tied up, and then said word by word: "I won't talk to you about the big reason now, just one sentence: If you seek death, I will kill your nephew and bury you, if you are quiet and not noisy, I will be arrested obediently, I can spare him from death." ”
After hearing this, Cao Wenzhao was dumbfounded, he had ever seen a threat, but he had never seen this kind of threat method? Threatening the enemy not to seek death? I'm not afraid of death, do you dare to threaten? He thought about it carefully, and finally sighed, it was enough for him to die, but that nephew Cao Bianjiao still had a bright future, and he couldn't be tired of dying too.
Cao Wenzhao had no choice but to keep silent and let Zhu Yuanzhang's people tie him up.
It wasn't until he was tied up like a zongzi that Wang Er and the others breathed a sigh of relief: "This ...... This guy is so hard. Fortunately, his horse was bombarded, otherwise he might not have been able to catch him. ”
Several Zhu soldiers pushed Cao Wenzhao to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, Cao Wenzhao looked at him angrily, and Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Do you feel ashamed to be caught by thieves?" ”
Cao Wenzhao snorted, although he didn't answer, but he obviously recognized it.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What do you think...... Are my soldiers more like officers and soldiers, or are they more like the group of people you brought with me? ”
Cao Wenzhao was dumbfounded, bored for a long time, unable to speak. He thought about the heavy infantry, musketeers, and artillerymen...... This is really outrageous to say that this is a thief. Although he looked down on the thief, he could not speak with his conscience, so he had to admit: "Your soldiers must indeed be more tidy." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Then don't feel ashamed, watch quietly...... I'll take you to see a lot of things in the coming days......"
Cao Wenzhao watched silently, only to see that on the battlefield in the distance, the officers and soldiers had completely collapsed, no matter how the generals shouted, it was useless, the rout began to flee eastward, throwing away their armor, and the Zhu army neither chased nor picked up things on the ground, but quickly collected the troops, re-arrayed, and turned to the east.
"You're going east to deal with my nephew?" Cao Wenzhao was in a hurry.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and said seriously: "I look down on you and your nephew, that's why I spent so much effort to deal with you, if it is an ordinary general, just like those guys who fled to the east, I don't even bother to look at them." ”
Cao Wenzhao felt a sense of grievance in his heart, how could this mere thief get such a big breath? You look down on the generals of the imperial court, and these generals still look down on you.
He reluctantly followed Zhu Yuanzhang's army to the east, only to see that this thief army was not only quite orderly when fighting, but also very orderly when marching, the scout net was very open, before and after, many scout teams kept transmitting news to Zhu Yuanzhang, almost leaking, and it was almost impossible to ambush such an army.
The army marched eastward for more than ten miles, and the Zhu army rested and ate in place, and Cao Wenzhao saw that all the soldiers of the Zhu army were carrying marching food, and each soldier had sufficient supplies. He was secretly shocked in his heart, not to mention that other thieves and soldiers couldn't do it, even the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were difficult to do, because the financial situation of the court was very bad, and the food and salary of the officers and soldiers had not been well solved.
Zhu Jun finished the meal at a very fast pace, and the entire army formation was in good order, and there were no fights and brawls that often occur when officers and men were burying pots to cook, or stealing other people's food, or bullying new soldiers, and the whole army showed a good quality, and the soldiers were friendly and mutually helpful, and they were peaceful. In fact, the truth is very simple, if you can't eat enough, of course you will want to grab someone else's to eat, but if everyone is full, peace is inevitable. This principle is not much different from the poor mountains and bad waters, and the officers and soldiers are hungry and poor people, and when they bury the pot to make food, they will make trouble with the demons.
Cao Wenzhao had to admit that officers and soldiers are more like thieves, and these thieves are officers and soldiers!
After finishing the meal, the thieves also got a short rest, and the army continued to the east, and after a few miles, Cao Wenzhao finally saw his nephew Cao Wenjiao, who he had been worried about.
I saw that on the plains ahead, Cao Bianjiao led a thousand elite border troops who were slowly advancing at the speed of a turtle. They actually marched in a square formation, and every step was extremely cautious.
Cao Wenzhao was wondering why his nephew was like this, and saw that a cavalry unit of about 500 people was slowly following a few hundred steps away from Cao Bianjiao's army, 200 of which were heavily armed heavy cavalry, and the other 300 were archers. They looked at Cao Bianjiaojun not far away with a relaxed face, and even whistled.
Cao Wenzhao sighed: No wonder there has been no news of his nephew, he was targeted by this cavalry team, and he couldn't move at all.
He couldn't help but look at Zhu Yuanzhang and said loudly: "You promised me not to hurt my nephew's life." (To be continued.) )
