Chapter 396: Red Cliff (5)

In the face of the impact of the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion, Liu Beijun's soldiers did not have any ability to resist, Liu Beijun was not the opponent of the White Tiger Battalion of the Cao Army, plus the White Tiger Battalion was a sneak attack, Liu Beijun was not prepared at all,

rushed back and forth to kill two back and forth, Cao Chun ordered the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion to withdraw, and Liu Beijun's soldiers got closer and closer to the fleeing people, which made the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion dare not fight hard to kill, if the people were injured, then there was really no way to explain to the people of Jingxiang,

Looking at the silver armor elite cavalry that was gradually moving away, Liu Bei, who fled in a hurry, finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this pair of silver armor elite cavalry would continue to chase and kill him, but he didn't expect them to withdraw at this time, Liu Bei obviously had some one, he didn't know why this team of silver armor elite cavalry would give up the pursuit of himself, but in a trance, Liu Bei found that he was surrounded by people, and he had fought and retreated, and had retreated into exile.

No wonder the silver armor elite cavalry wants to retreat, it turns out that he is afraid of injuring the people by mistake, Cao Jun's soldiers love the people so much, but think about themselves again, he actually uses the people as a human wall to protect the soldiers, the difference between the two, it will naturally come out, Liu Bei can only reluctantly accept it, the soldiers of the Cao army cherish the people more than themselves,

But now this matter is not in the scope of his own consideration, the cavalry of the Cao army suddenly descended from the sky, which did make Liu Bei a little unaware, you know, Zhuge Liang led a thousand soldiers to intercept the Cao army's pursuers, since Zhuge Liang intercepted, where did these thousands of cavalry come from, could it be that Zhuge Liang had some accident there, if this is the case, then can he still have a way to live, Liu Bei does not know, and he is also very confused.

However, this idea was quickly rejected by Liu Bei, Cao's army has not yet set out, and even if it does, it is impossible to appear here in such a short time, it is obvious that this is not Zhuge Liang's problem. Suddenly, Liu Bei's heart suddenly had a hint of epiphany,

If you don't guess wrong, Cao Jun's tens of thousands of troops are just a cover-up, and the real killer is the thousands of silver-armored elite cavalry under Cao Jun's command, whose powerful combat effectiveness is not inferior to Cao Jun's Xuanwu battalion, which is also the biggest reason why they can become killers.

In the face of the powerful Silver Armor Elite Cavalry, Liu Bei naturally knew that the soldiers under his command were not his opponents at all. If you want to escape from Xinye safely, you still have to let Cao Jun throw a mouse trap, since Cao Jun does not dare to hurt the people, then he can only retreat among the fleeing people, only in this way, Cao Jun will not dare to attack rashly,

Now that Cao's cavalry has appeared in the rear of Xinye City, Liu Bei is a little worried about Zhuge Liang's situation. There are no less than 3,000 silver armor elite cavalry, and they are also elite cavalry. These people are silver-armored elite horses enough to wipe out Zhuge Liang's 1,000 soldiers, so now Zhuge Liang's situation is worrying.

The thousands of silver-armored elite cavalry of the Cao army were quite hidden, and if it weren't for the Cao army's offensive, he wouldn't have known that the Cao army had sent thousands of cavalry here. He just knew, which proves that Zhuge Liang didn't know at all, if Zhuge Liang knew, he would have sent someone to inform him.

At this time, Liu Bei was a little helpless. He didn't know how he should deal with the thousands of cavalry of the Cao army, if the Cao army wanted to destroy himself at all costs, how could his thousands of soldiers be the opponents of the Cao army, not to mention his thousands, even if he added tens of thousands of people in Xinye City, he was still not the opponent of the Cao army,

However, the thousands of cavalry of the Cao army could not bear to hurt the people, which was a good thing for Liu Bei, at this time Liu Bei was struggling, how could he send Ran to inform Zhuge Liang, if Zhuge Liang withdrew the army, who would stop the tens of thousands of troops of the Cao army, the silver armor elite cavalry was terrible, but it was far less terrifying than the tens of thousands of troops of the Cao army,

But no matter what, I have to inform Zhuge Liang, after all, if Zhuge Liang has any problems, he is still not much better, after all, he has put all the treasures on Zhuge Liang's body, if Zhuge Liang has any problems, it will also have a great impact on his ambition and hegemony.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Bei summoned a few henchmen to guard, he asked a few guards to change the clothes of the people, and then disguised himself and let a few people go straight to Xinye City, watching a few guards gradually disappear into the distance, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that a few people could arrive smoothly,

Liu Bei could only pray in his heart, hoping that the cavalry of the Cao army would not find these people, Zhuge Liang's thousand people were plotting to hide in Xinye City, if Zhuge Liang's whereabouts of the thousand people were exposed, then Zhuge Liang's thousand soldiers might fall into a crisis,

In Xinye City, Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei's henchman guards, and when he saw Liu Bei's guards, Zhuge Liang was obviously a little surprised, and in a moment, Zhuge Liang realized something, the lord's personal guards have always been guarding the lord's side, why did they suddenly appear here,

After listening to the guards, Zhuge Liang's face was full of shock, with Zhuge Liang's ingenuity, he immediately guessed how Cao Jun's thousands of elite horsemen appeared here, thinking of this, Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the lord still has the ability to send Ran to inform him to be careful of Cao Jun, his situation should not be worried,

Let the guards go down to rest, Zhuge Liang's head began to run rapidly, and after thinking about it for a while, Zhuge Liang decided to continue to stay in Xinye City, and the lord was pursued by Cao Jun's elite cavalry The situation is indeed critical, but even so, his own thousand soldiers can't play the role of determining the world.

The thousands of cavalry of the Cao army are well-deserved elites, and as a cavalry with strong mobility, he has no way to grasp the whereabouts of the thousands of cavalry of the Cao army, and how to arrange the soldiers to set up ambushes and ambush the enemy, so as long as he does not endanger the life and safety of the lord,

Moreover, compared with the thousands of cavalry of the Cao army, the tens of thousands of troops of the Cao army are obviously more important, and the scouts have already spread the news that the Cao army's army has drawn out of the camp and set out to fight, that is to say, the three thousand cavalry is just the vanguard of the Cao army, and it is the tens of thousands of troops of the Cao army that really determine the outcome of the war.

No matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the three thousand elite cavalry is, it is difficult to crisis the entire Jingzhou region, as long as the lord escapes to Jiangxia smoothly, then there is no need to be afraid of the three thousand elite cavalry of the Cao army, and the main force of the Cao army that can really threaten Liu Beijun is the main force of the Cao army, so blocking the enemy army is the most important task.

The words are divided into two ends, on horseback. Du Chen listened to the report from the scout in front of him, frowning slightly, the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion had caught up with Cao Jun, and Du Chen's conjecture was no different, Liu Beijun had already evacuated Xinye City, and he also took away all the people of Xinye City.

The last thing that happened happened happened, which made Du Chen feel very helpless, thinking that the people were displaced because of the attack of the Cao army, Du Chen's mood was somewhat low, Jia Xu on Du Chen's side saw Du Chen's expression, and immediately said: "Lord Taiwei doesn't need to be like this, although Liu Bei's move is despicable, but it is the best way to avoid our army, if you want to eliminate Liu Bei in one fell swoop." It is possible to let the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion let go of their hands and feet. ”

Listening to Jia Xu's opinion, Du Chen hurriedly shook his head, Jia Xu is really worthy of the name of the poisoner, his plan is really unscrupulous to achieve the goal, and it is not wrong to use heavy codes in troubled times, but Du Chen doesn't want Cao Jun's soldiers to become murderers, and even the people don't let go,

"Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. If you lose the support of the people, how can you talk about dominating the world? Du Chen said to Jia Xu in a heavy tone. Frowning slightly, Du Chen immediately spoke: "Pass my order, the army will speed up its march, and be sure to catch up with Liu Beijun in the shortest possible time." ”

Under Du Chen's order, the marching speed of Cao's army immediately accelerated a lot, looking at the advancing army. Du Chen knocked the horse's belly, rode the horse and rushed up, and seeing Du Chen rushing out, Jia Xu immediately sped up and silently followed behind Du Chen.

After a few days of arduous marching, Du Chen was already able to see the walls of Xinye City, looking at Xinye City from a distance, the Cao soldiers were quite pleased, the forced march in the past few days, but these Cao soldiers were tired and half dead, this kind of strength of the march, but it was more physically and mentally exhausting than a battle,

Now that I have arrived in Xinye City, I finally don't have to live in the camp tent anymore, I heard that the people in the city have fled from Xinye with Liu Bei, so now Xinye City is an empty city, and the houses in the city can naturally be used by me, sleep comfortably,

Staring at Xinye City not far away, Du Chen was thinking about something, and at this moment, Jia Xu came to Du Chen's side, and then said softly: "My lord, the forced march in the past few days has made the soldiers physically and mentally exhausted, since Xinye City has become an empty city, can our army take advantage of it?" ”

Du Chen was just about to nod, but then he thought of something, turned his head to look at Jia Xu, Du Chen muttered: "Liu Beijun is so kind and left the city for us to rest, if Liu Bei is really so kind-hearted, why does Chen have to take his life?" ”

Du Chen's words suddenly shocked Jia Xu, what Du Chen said was not false at all, if it was his own, he would definitely not leave anything for the enemy to use, Liu Bei's methods were very spicy, he was better than him, how could a person with such a spicy means be so kind,

There must be a demon when things go wrong, and now that the buildings in Xinye City are intact, there must have been some crisis waiting for Cao Jun, and if he lives in it rashly, Cao Jun is bound to suffer heavy losses.

"Our army marched for several days, the soldiers must be physically and mentally exhausted, when encountering such an empty city, it is bound to have a good rest, if it is replaced by me, I will inevitably ambush hundreds of people in this city, and in the dead of night, put a fire, it will definitely be able to make the enemy suffer heavy losses." Staring at Xinye City, Du Chen said coldly,

Jia Xu nodded, and then said, "Then our army bypassed Xinye City and went straight to Liu Beijun?" ”

Du Chen shook his head slightly, and then said with a smile: "There are bound to be remnants of Liu Bei's army in the city, let Li Dian lead an army of 10,000 to surround Xinye City, and the rest of the soldiers will go straight to Liu Bei's desertion." ”

Du Chen's order naturally made Cao Jun's soldiers feel extremely headaches, but none of the generals dared to disobey Du Chen's meaning, don't look at Du Chen is just a literati, but he is in a high position all the year round, his momentum is not something that can be resisted casually, if Du Chen starts a fire, few generals can bear it,

Moreover, with Du Chen's prestige in the army now, there are a few people who dare to disobey him, although the soldiers are physically and mentally exhausted, but they can only look at Xinye City and feel emotional, of course, the most helpless is not these soldiers, but Li Dian who was sent to surround Xinye City,

For Du Chen's order, Li Dian was somewhat at a loss, and sent troops to surround an empty city that had already been emptied, could it be that there were any secrets in this city, but Li Dian couldn't see what secrets there were in Xinye City where people went to empty buildings now, but since Lord Taiwei had given the order, he naturally couldn't disobey and lead 10,000 soldiers. Li Dian surrounded the entire Shinno Castle, and according to the order of Lord Taiwei, Li Dian did not send soldiers into the city to search.

In Xinye City, Zhuge Liang has been waiting for Cao Jun to enter the city, but what makes him feel disappointed. Cao Jun actually ignored Xinye City and went straight to the lord, of course, if it was just that, Cao Jun actually divided his troops, and now, a Cao army of nearly 10,000 soldiers has surrounded Xinye City,

Cao Jun's movements were very fast, under the condition that Zhuge Liang was not prepared at all. Cao Jun's 10,000 troops have surrounded Xinye City, and after the siege, Cao Jun began to set up camp without the slightest move into the city.

Cao Jun's actions shocked Zhuge Liang, and Cao Jun's actions were obviously trying to trap himself. Cao Jun did anything to enter the city to search for him, but they besieged the city with heavy troops. If he wasn't completely sure, how could Cao Jun do this is obviously an overactive move?

Could it be that someone in Liu's army leaked the news, so that Cao's army besieged the city with heavy troops, but this idea was quickly ruled out by Zhuge Liang, and the people who used it in this conspiracy were trustworthy. If the rumors leak out like this, then the Cao army should not come to surround Xinye City, but send heavy troops to surround themselves.

The reason why Cao Jun besieged Xinye City was undoubtedly to trap himself. It is undeniable that Cao Jun's plan is really spicy, and he doesn't need to spend any effort at all to attract himself to take the initiative, after all, Zhuge Liang's thousand people can't support it for long, because they have little food and grass left.

Zhuge Liang himself did not prepare much grain and grass, and the people of Xinye City fled all the way to Jiangxia, and naturally the supply of food was indispensable, so Zhuge Liang, a thousand soldiers, only left some grain and grass that was allowed to be eaten.

I thought that after Cao Jun lived in Xinye City, Zhuge Liang led the soldiers to light fires everywhere in the city, and then quickly evacuated Xinye City, but I didn't expect that Cao Jun didn't have a plan, but let himself be in this dangerous situation, and now there are only two roads in front of Zhuge Liang, one is to die of starvation in Xinye City, and to lead a thousand soldiers to break through, but the question is, can the soldiers break through safely,

Obviously, this question is absolutely negative, the Cao army is heavily guarded at the exit of Xinye City, and if you want to break through, you can only go by storming, but how elite the Cao army is, its strength is far beyond its own army, even if Liu Bei's soldiers work hard, they may not be able to break through the encirclement of the Cao army,

Moreover, now Zhuge Liang's form is quite precipitous, even if he can break out of the encirclement, Zhuge Liang can't lead his troops to chase the lord, because there are tens of thousands of troops of Cao Jun, if he is chasing the lord, it is definitely a dead end, at this moment, Zhuge Liang is a little helpless, he doesn't know how he should solve the dilemma in front of him, at this moment Zhuge Liang realized why the teacher Sima Hui asked him to be careful when facing Du Chen,

At that time, he was young and vigorous, and he was somewhat disdainful of the teacher's advice, but now, Zhuge Liang deeply felt that Du Chen's talent was indeed unfathomable, and Xinye City was originally a trap set by himself for Cao Jun, but now, Xinye City has actually become a shackle that traps him.

After besieging Xinye City, looking at Xinye City with the city gate open, Li Dian's mind still echoed Du Chen's order to himself, surround Xinye City, and then did not wait for a rash move, without Du Chen's order, there was no need for soldiers to enter Xinye City,

The siege of Xinye City can be understood, it must be that there are still remnants of Liu Beijun in the city, staying here with the intention of sneaking up on Cao Jun, but not letting the soldiers enter the city, this is obviously unreasonable, since there is still Liu Beijun in the city, it is not more economical to send troops into the city to search and arrest than to wait for Liu Beijun to break through.

Liu Beijun will definitely not stay too many soldiers in Xinye City, their primary purpose is to retreat, so Liu Beijun will not leave more than a thousand soldiers to block Cao's army, and he will have an army of 10,000 and send thousands at will, and he will be able to turn the small Xinye City upside down.

At that time, Liu Beijun will have nothing to hide, and when the time comes, as long as he annihilates this group of Liu Jun soldiers in one fell swoop, he can sit back and relax, but now, God knows when Liu Beijun in the city will come out and where he will come from, and so on, he will miss the best fighter,

Two days passed, and the Cao army outside the city did not have any withdrawal at all, and several large battalions were nailed like nails to the four gates of Xinye City, whether it was night or day, there were Cao troops patrolling Xinye City, and the tightness of its defense made Zhuge Liang not find any chance to break through.

Several camps of the Cao army are closely linked, as long as the enemy is discovered, several camps will be quickly assembled, and within half an hour, the Cao army will inevitably surround the large army that has broken through the siege, and it will really come to that time. More than 1,000 people are really inseparable,

Outside the city, Li Dian was also very painful, for Du Chen's order, although Li Dian was puzzled, but he could only obey it, in fact, Li Dian also thought that the army would enter Xinye City, and check Xinye City inside and out. As long as he destroys Liu Beijun's soldiers in the city, he will have a complete merit.

Of course, not only did he think so, but the generals under his command also kept persuading themselves, saying that everyone else was chasing Liu Beijun and marching towards Jingxiang, but he was guarding such an empty city. Do nothing, what is the soldier for? Isn't it just to be able to make meritorious contributions and get promoted, but in the current situation, let alone getting ahead, there is no chance to make meritorious contributions, let alone be promoted.

For the bitter persuasion of the partial generals, Li Dian obviously fell into a dilemma, on one side is a high-powered captain, and on the other hand, he is a brother who was born and died, which makes Li Dian choose. If Li Dian knew, he would have chosen it a long time ago, why should he suffer again,

However, Li Dian is a general who is forbidden by order, but the deputy general under his command is not necessarily, not to mention that all the generals are militants, but surround this empty city, it is really not interesting, listening to the army in front of him chasing Liu Bei, and he can only face an empty city, and no one can raise interest,

Killing Liu Bei is definitely a great achievement, if you can really catch Liu Bei, then you can immediately rise to the top, so some people can't wait, if they can't solve the matter of Xinye City, they will go crazy about it,

Several lieutenant generals skimmed Li Dian and were ready to decide to send three thousand soldiers into the city to search, but Li Dian was clear about the actions of the lieutenants, but he obviously did not refuse, after all, these are brothers who were born and died with him, how could Li Dian really kill the killer,

Moreover, Li Dian also doesn't want to continue to consume, because the Cao army is already preparing to attack Jingxiang in an all-round way, Cao Cheng led an army of more than 100,000 troops, and marched into Jingzhou.

Several lieutenant generals also heard the news, otherwise how could a few people be so bold, disobeying on the battlefield, and it is also the life of the Taiwei who resisted, this is obviously the rhythm of not wanting to die, if it succeeds in clearing Liu Beijun in Xinye City, it will be fine, if it fails, then it will really be lifeless,

The news that the three thousand soldiers of the Cao army entered Xinye City, Zhuge Liang got it as soon as possible, and when he heard the news, Zhuge Liang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought that he had exhausted the mountains and rivers, but he didn't expect that the willows and flowers were bright.

In order to conceal this matter, the adjutant general mobilized a thousand soldiers to search for the city through three city gates, which is definitely good news for Zhuge Liang, with these 3,000 soldiers, Zhuge Liang has the means to escape, Zhuge Liang quickly gathered all the soldiers, whether he can escape Xinye City, while looking at the next battle,

Zhuge Liang knows the whereabouts of the three thousand soldiers of the Cao army, after all, these soldiers have been trapped in Xinye City for a long time, and how can they not understand the terrain of Xinye City,

The city is very quiet and desolate, this is the only emotion of the Cao soldiers who entered the city, there is no living thing in the entire Xinye City, which makes the Cao soldiers who have seen the wind and waves feel a little cool, such a desolate city, is it really hidden Liu Beijun's soldiers, Cao Jun soldiers secretly thought,

And at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the rear of the Cao army, a team of more than 100 soldiers suddenly rushed out, they suddenly killed, which really made the Cao army soldiers feel stunned, in a panic, more than a dozen Cao soldiers died at the hands of the enemy, and then, this team of more than 100 enemy troops immediately fled away,

How could the soldiers of the Cao army let them succeed, and a thousand troops rushed to chase after them, wanting to kill more than 100 Liu Beijun soldiers and soldiers, but after chasing a few streets, the more than 100 people suddenly disappeared. (To be continued......)
