Chapter 33: Destroying the Cao Apo Clan

In May of the first year of Chuping, Luo Zheng broke 3,000 Youyan cavalry in Qiaoxian County.

Sun Jian led 7,000 foot soldiers to retreat to Chen County in a panic, and was no longer able to take the initiative to attack.

At this time, the news that Qian County was attacked and broken finally reached the Tiger Prison Pass.

When Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling heard the report, he spit out a mouthful of old blood on the spot, and fainted directly in anger.

When the army arrived, he found that Kong Ling had no breath at all, and he was angry to death.

All the princes, you look at me, and they all look at each other.

Only Yuan Shu's eyes were happy, and he immediately found an excuse to leave the account, and confessed to his henchmen and quickly sent a letter to Yuzhou.

Yanzhou Assassin Shi Liu Dai, Xuzhou Assassin Shi Taoqian, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao and other princes feared that the Xiliang cavalry would enter Xu and Yan'er Prefecture, burn and loot under their own rule, and all had the intention of retreating.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others hurriedly persuaded him.

If the army is withdrawn at this time, the princes' alliance is afraid that it will become a joke, and the initiator Cao Cao and the alliance leader Yuan Shao will also become the laughing stock of the world.

Yuzhou, Qian County.

Luo Zheng led the army to pursue the Youzhou cavalry and returned in the evening.

Most of the 3,000 Youzhou cavalry were killed in battle, and only a few hundred cavalry scattered and fled, and there were no prisoners.

This battle not only broke 3,000 Youzhou cavalry, but also captured more than 1,000 war horses, which can be described as a great harvest.

When the army returned to Qian County, Luo Zheng immediately convened the generals to discuss the matter.

In the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion, all the Xiliang Military Academies were full of red light and looked excited.

This time, he defeated Sun Jian's army and broke 3,000 Youyan cavalry, which can be described as a complete victory.

When he returns to Luoyang, he will not be able to run away with a great military achievement.

Luo Zheng sat on the main seat with a golden sword and asked, "How about the casualties of the ironclad chain cavalry?" ”

A junior colonel replied: "I folded more than 40 rides." ”

Luo Zheng's brows furrowed at the moment, "The casualties are so large. ”

Li Meng said loudly: "General, the power of this iron-armored chain horse to break the formation is unparalleled in the world, but the war horse is chained with iron chains, if one horse misses, the rest of the war horses will be affected." If there are too many horses on the hoof, the chain of horses is in danger. ”

Luo Zheng also realized this problem and nodded, "Well, let's talk about this later, can the armor be taken back?" ”

The colonel hurriedly replied: "Back to the general, it has been taken back." ”

"That's good!"

Luo Zheng asked again, "Where is Sun Jian's army now?" ”

Captain Hou replied, "It has been returned to Chen County." ”

Li Meng said excitedly: "General, why don't our army take advantage of the victory to pursue and defeat Sun Jiandi's miscellaneous army in one fell swoop?" ”

Luo Zheng waved his hand, "Although our army has broken through the three thousand Youzhou cavalry this time, it has not been a short time to delay in Yuzhou. Without 3,000 Youzhou cavalry, Sun Jian is not worried, and now the Kwantung rebels are in a hurry to attack the Tiger Pass, and our army needs to turn to other sides as soon as possible, turn Xu, Yan and other places upside down, and force the Kwantung princes to retreat as much as possible. ”

All the military academies said in unison: "May it be ordered by the general." ”

Luo Zheng said 'um', and then he looked murderous, and said in a cruel voice: "However, before leaving Yuzhou, General Ben still has a very important thing to do, that is, to level Cao Cao's hometown. ”

"Please give the order of the general!"

All the military academies were grinding their fists, and their eyes were excited.

Luo Zheng turned his head and asked the scout captain, "What has been the recent movement of Cao's Dock Fort?" ”

The scout captain replied, "General, there is no movement in Cao's Dock Fort. ”

Luo Zheng asked again, "Has anyone ever left?" ”

The captain of the scout said: "No one has left, but the scouts of our army have heard a message from the people in the vicinity that there are still dozens of young rangers in the Cao Clan, and they are missing, and they have never returned to the dock fort." ”

Luo Zheng frowned for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you ever heard where these Cao family children are now?" ”

The captain of the scout said: "The villain has already sent someone to inquire, and there has been no news so far. ”

Luo Zheng is even more displeased, if he doesn't cut down these remnants of the Cao family, he is afraid that he will be in trouble again in the future. However, the army has been delayed in Yuzhou for too long, and it is really not appropriate to delay it for a while, and after a little thought, he said categorically: "Forget it, the children of the Cao family are eager to find it, and pass on my military order, and the army will kill Baligou Pavilion and level Cao's Dock Fort, leaving no people and animals." ”

"Yes."

The military academies hurriedly got up and answered loudly.

Baligou Pavilion is located twenty miles east of Qian County.

The old house of the Cao family, one of the largest wealthy families in Qian County, is in Baligou. The Cao family has been an official eunuch for generations, the family is big, and the people are very prosperous, and they have built a dock fort covering an area of hundreds of acres, and there is an artificially excavated ditch next to it.

Cao's children are good rangers and are famous in the surrounding area.

After the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Cao Ren gathered more than 1,000 teenagers and rangers in the Suishui area, first, to fight against bandits, in order to protect the safety of the clan and the property, and secondly, the world gradually became chaotic, and the heroes rose together, and the wealthy and Wang clans were taking the opportunity to recruit private soldiers and expand their strength.

When Cao Cao called on the heroes of the world to raise troops against Dong, Cao Ren led more than 1,000 rangers and children of the clan to defect.

However, since the Xiliang army arrived in Qian County, Cao's Wubao closed its doors and no longer allowed its clansmen to go out.

However, he couldn't hide from the first day of junior high school, but he couldn't hide from the fifteenth.

On this day, the Xiliang cavalry still killed and surrounded Caojiabao.

There was a crowd of people on the wall of the dock fort, and the people of the Cao clan looked at it with their heads probed, their faces full of fright and uneasiness.

When Cao Cao raised his army, many young disciples in the clan joined the army and followed Cao Cao to raise troops to defeat Dong Zhuo.

Most of the rest of the fort are women, children, old and weak, and there are not many strong men.

If you encounter a small group of bandits from the Liukou Village, you will not be hindered by relying on the dock fort.

But now facing the ground is seven thousand fierce Xiliang Iron Riders, how can this be resisted.

Just when everyone in the dock fort was panicking, and the desolate and passionate bull horn sounded, Luo Zheng gave an order, and the seven thousand Xiliang iron horsemen immediately launched an overwhelming attack on the low Cao's dock fort.

Xu Chu was dressed in iron armor and took the lead in running to the gate of the dock fort.

Dozens of Xiliang soldiers pushed a rushing cart forward and slammed into the gate of the dock fort with great momentum.

I hit it three times in a row, but it still didn't break away.

"Get out of the way, come on."

Xu Chu roared, turned over and jumped off the horse, galloped over, pulled the car twenty steps away, shouted, and more than 30 Xiliang soldiers worked together, pushed and ran like a fly, and directly hit the gate of the dock fort.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the thick wooden gate of the dock fort was directly slammed open.

Amid the flying sawdust, screams and howls rang out in the dock fort.

Behind the wooden door, the children of the Cao clan were hit on the head and bled blood, and several people were directly smashed in the head, and the red and white were all splashed on the gate of the broken dock fort, and the death was unbearable, and many Cao clan people were frightened.

The rush car blocked under the doorway of the dock fort was quickly pulled away.

"Kill."

Luo Zheng took the lead in killing, raised his sword and led forward, and took the lead in the dock fort.

Xu Chu took the reins of the war horse handed over by his own soldiers, quickly turned on the horse's back, and followed him in.

The iron hooves are like thunder, and the horses are neighing.

The magnificent dock fort was under the iron hooves of the Xiliang Iron Rider, and it was helpless.

In the dock fort, the screams and shouts of killing rang out, shattering the clear sky.

Luo Zheng slashed a panicked Cao disciple with a knife, and rushed forward to kill.

Behind him, rolling into the West Liang Iron Cavalry chased after him, killing the people in the dock fort on their backs, and the children of the Cao family who were guarding the door screamed and fled back, only hating their father and mother for having two legs, and the heart of resistance had already been disintegrated.

"Pass my military order and arrest Cao Cao's family."

Luo Zheng killed another Cao disciple before he reined in the war horse and shouted loudly.

"The general has an order to arrest Cao Cao's family."

Seven thousand Xiliang iron horsemen shouted in unison, and the sound shook the four fields, and the Cao clan people were panicked like a catastrophe was coming.

Although there are nearly 1,000 people of the Cao clan in the dock fort, they are only powerless like sheep under the butcher's knife of Xiliang Tie's riding ground.

The battle soon ended, and in addition to the resistance and killed, hundreds of Cao clansmen were captured and imprisoned, and finally driven into a wide courtyard like sheep, including old men, women, and children.

They were all frightened, crying bitterly and trembling.

In the spacious hall, Luo Zheng sat on the case, and dozens of soldiers stood behind him with knives.

"Where is Cao Cao's family?"

Luo Zheng shouted, and his wolf-like gaze fell outside.

A small colonel rushed in and said, "General, I haven't found that Cao Cao's family is small." ”

Luo Zheng immediately looked displeased, "What's the matter, could it be that Cao Cao's family ran away in advance?" ”

Xiao Xiao replied: "The villain has already asked, Cao Cao's family is not in Qian County. ”

Luo Zheng paused and said: "It's really a disappointment, this time it was cheaper than Cao Apu, but someone escaped." ”

A small school looked ashamed and said, "One person ran away." ”

Luo Zheng frowned, "What, there are still people who have escaped from the siege of the 7,000 army?" ”

A small colonel next to him explained: "General, that kid's martial arts are extremely extraordinary, although the brothers desperately besieged, they were still killed by that kid A few brothers, broke through and ran away, Qiu Dayan was also stabbed, and he almost lost his life." ”

Luo Zheng glanced at the previous colonel, and sure enough, there were still blood stains oozing from his shoulder blades, his brows were relaxed, and he waved his hand: "Run, run, go and deal with the injury, don't waste your arms." ”

Qiu Da's eyes showed gratitude, and then he retreated.

A junior colonel asked again, "General, what should we do with these remnants of the Cao family?" ”

Luo Zheng's eyes fell on those frightened Cao clansmen, and he immediately showed a ruthless face, and said fiercely: "Kill, don't leave the chickens and dogs." Especially men, no one should be spared. As for women, forget it. ”

"Yes."

Xiao Xiao also laughed, responded loudly, and turned around.

Soon, hundreds of fierce Xiliang soldiers surrounded him, smiling and waving their butcher knives.

In the midst of the miserable howls and angry scolding, one by one the Cao clan people fell in a pool of blood, dead without blinking their eyes.

As for the women, they were rudely pulled aside by the Xiliang soldiers and were not killed.

"Don't, don't kill my boy."

There was a woman who hugged a five or six-year-old boy in her arms, blocked the knife slaughter of Xiliang soldiers with her body, and shouted with a sad face, "Please, don't kill my child, I know where Cao Cao's family is." ”

"Slut, you don't have to die well."

As soon as the woman's voice fell, someone in the crowd shouted.
