~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a hurry, Ma Han quickly turned his brain, and sneered coldly: "The nobody who hides his head and tail is also worthy of saying a word to someone?" It's almost the same to let Cao Mengde come. β
The laughter on the other side continued: "A certain Cao Ang, the respected father is Meng Degong, do you think I am worthy?" β
Cao Ang? It's actually Cao Ang! This time everything makes sense, it turns out that he is visiting Xian on behalf of his father. As Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang naturally had an understanding of the Cao Group's strategic planning, and when he found his traces, he naturally moved his heart to rob - this is not surprising, if he was a horseman, if he learned that Cao Cao only led less than 100 horses, and was only a few dozen miles away from him, he would also ignore it and volley.
It's just that Ma Han has the confidence to intercept Cao Cao, even if Lao Cao has Dian Wei and Xu Chu beside him, he dares to kill him. What kind of ability does this Cao Ang have to dare to lead dozens of horsemen to pick up the tiger's whiskers?
After figuring out the identity of the main general of the attacking Cao Army, combined with the blocking in front, Ma Han's brain turned three times and two times, and he guessed the other party's calculations, and did not pay attention to Cao Ang's shouting, and said to the opponent: "Let's go, borrow the courage of the two of them, and don't dare to chase after them again." β
The mountain road is piled up with rocks of different sizes, and there are also seven or eight big trees that hug each other, the branches are horizontal and vertical, and the branches and leaves are scattered all over the ground, forming several rocky mounds of high and low. Looking up at the mountain, the side of the mountain wall is scratched, and it is obvious that the mess of wood and gravel was pushed down from there. However, at this time, the top of the mountain was already empty, and it was difficult to find the enemy.
After seeing the situation clearly, Ma Han did not say a word, turned around expressionlessly, and passed by the car where the Cai sisters were riding. The car window was propped up, revealing Cai Zhaoji's elegant face: "General, is the road ahead impassable?" β
Ma Han said calmly: "Don't worry, all roads lead to Luoyang, I can protect you out, and I can also send you back safely." β
Jia Ji, who was following behind, pressed the handle of the knife with his hand and swore an oath: "If the Cao thief wants to be unfavorable to Zhao Ji, he must step over Jia Ji's body." β
Cai Zhaoji bowed to the two of them in the car, her eyes flashed, and her face was full of surprise: "The general is ......"
The armor on the horse's body has several more arrow holes. Some of the locations are just the point, and they are shocking. Ma Han didn't mind: "This armor is very good, Cao Jun lacks a strong crossbow, but he is not afraid." β
Jia Ji couldn't help but say: "The general has just shown his might, and he has defeated the chasing soldiers of the Cao army, and even the chief general of the Cao army exclaimed as the 'eight-armed god general'......"
Ma Han's face was as usual, and he did not show half of his smugness, compared to the reputation of this "eight-armed god general". His nickname "Kunbtulu" is much more awesome, and nothing good than that. Nodding to Cai Zhaoji, he urged the horse away.
Cai Zhaoji's eyes followed Ma Han's back, and the breeze was blowing beside her. Xiaomei's voice sounded: "Uncle Jia swears, Ma Jinglong silently breaks the enemy, who is more reliable, there is no need for Xiaomei to say more." My sister must have a heart like a mirror. β
Cai Zhaoji glanced at her sister: "Do you know that one is about to be the husband of the eldest princess, and the other is the son of Shang Shucheng." And your sister is a widow! With that, he lowered the pane and closed the following words in the car.
Guo Jia had already put down the bamboo slip in his hand, and when he saw Ma Huance riding closer, he hit the nail on the head: "Cao Jun is waiting for backup." β
Ma Han nodded with a gloomy face: "There is a Cao army stationed in Yun County, the main general is Cao Hong, two hundred miles away, they should have already sent messengers to ask for help." In terms of time, if you hurry up, within three or five days, there will be Cao Jun's brigade to help. β
Ma Han dismounted as he spoke, picked up a branch casually, drew a curved line on the ground to indicate the mountain road, made a cross in the middle to indicate their position, drew a circle in the south to represent Cao Jun, and drew a circle at the same distance in the north, explaining: "From here two hundred miles to the north, we also have reinforcements - this is the Yuyuan Pass, and I can adjust three hundred horsemen to the south at any time." With the summons of the Flying Eagle and the galloping of fast horses, you can definitely join me before the arrival of Cao Jun. But now the roads are blocked, horses and vehicles are impassable, so if we want to get support, we have to bypass this blockage. β
Guo Jia also jumped off the ox cart, picked up a branch, drew a wavy line on the west side of the curved line of the mountain road, wrote the word Yingshui, and drew two extension lines on the east side of the mountain road. Then without saying a word, he looked at Ma Han.
Ma Han held his chin in one hand, looked at the rushing Yingshui not far away, and smiled: "In the spirit of filial piety, the two-pronged approach is good, just do it." β
Soon, more than thirty young and healthy servants were gathered, each armed with a sharp short axeβthis was the secondary weapon of the wolf-tooth flying cavalry warriors, all made of fine iron, but at this moment, these killing weapons were all turned into logging axes.
Ma Han and Guo Jia's plan was to make ten rafts and transfer them in batches to bypass the blocked mountain road. Due to the tight schedule and small manpower, it was impossible for them to make rafts in large quantities, and ten was the limit. More than 120 people, I am afraid that they will not be able to transport it at one time, especially a large number of war horses and ox carts are difficult to carry on rafts, so they can only take another mountain road.
The two mountain roads painted by Guo Jia are fork roads, although they can bypass the blocked mountain roads, but they need to go around more than 200 miles, that is, nearly 400 miles, to turn to Yuyuan Pass. With the slow speed of the luggage carried by their group, they were afraid that they would be caught up by Cao Hong's army if they were not halfway through, so they could only go separately.
With the exception of the female dependents, military generals, and the necessary sentry horsemen who kept their horses, everyone changed to walk on foot and on mountain trails. War horses, ox carts and all kinds of luggage are forked in the road. It doesn't matter if it is caught up and taken away by Cao Jun, the key is that the person is okay.
At dusk, ten rafts have been built, each raft can carry ten people, plus more than ten war horses and two ox carts, which can be transported in two parts.
Ma Han looked at the sky and ordered: "I will lead forty wolf teeth to fly and stay, and Feng Xiao and Shubi will lead all the female dependents and servants to set off first." After landing at the selected location, we will be picked up tomorrow by rowing a raft. At the same time, he said to the twenty leaders of the Shangdang guards who had turned from cavalry to infantry, "General Zhao Bai, the safety of this group will be handed over to you, be more careful, the Cao army still has an infantry army, I don't know where it is hidden, after you land on the shore, don't move rashly, wait for us to converge in place." β
Zhao Bai's body promised. Twenty soldiers boarded two rafts and opened the way.
The Wolf Tooth Flying Cavalry fought with Cao Jun before, and five people were injured. Ma Han arranged for five more people to take care of him, and went first with the raft. Ten of the forty wolf-tooth horsemen he left behind will leave the team early tomorrow morning, drive more than 70 horses and ox carts, and return to Luoyang from the fork in the road. As a result, there were only thirty wolf cavalry warriors left around Ma Han, but Cao Ang's men and horses were not much smaller than him, so there was no need to worry. Even if the Cao army is killed by foot soldiers. Ma Han is confident that he can also take advantage of the mountainous terrain to block several times the enemy. It's just that Ma Han's thoughts seem to be more than that......
When Ma Han stood on the shore and said goodbye to Guo Jia standing on the raft, the corner of the young wise man's mouth hooked up a knowing smile: "Jia wishes the Ming stallion success." β
When the rest of the people heard Guo Jia's words, they were all confused by the second monk, only Ma Han laughed: "Those who know me, Feng Xiaoye." β
How could Guo Jia not understand him? These two are bold adventurers in their bones.
was blocked and pressed backwards, kicking the nose and face. The bullying has come to the end, with the personality of the horseman, how can he endure this breath? If Cao Ang led hundreds or thousands of troops to overwhelm him, his strength would be inferior. Hold back for now. But even dozens of cavalrymen dared to come to shout, and they also injured their own guards and subordinates, and they were really tired of being crooked. Didn't you, Cao Ang, want to capture me alive? Just right. The two of us want to go together, and I also want to capture the eldest son of Cao Da Boss alive!
Ma Han didn't do it before, because it was inconvenient to move during the day. Second, there are too many non-combatants on their side, for fear that if they leave, they will be rejected at the front door and wolves at the back door. Now it's okay, no more worries. Cao Ang, don't bother looking for me, I'll come to you!
β¦β¦
Cao Ang and Cao Anmin, two brothers and sisters, are hiding in a cave at the moment, a roaring bonfire illuminating two depressed faces.
"I have heard Uncle Zixiao say before, this horse is amazing in archery, and the wolf riders under him are also quite elite. Cao Ang lamented with a hint of fear, "My fifty servants are all sharps assigned by Ah Weng, and they have not fallen behind in the previous battles against Lu Bu's and state warriors. I never thought that when I encountered the Liaodong people today, I attacked them with five times as many people, but I only injured a few enemies, but was killed and wounded by the enemy nearly ten horsemen. That horse is even more terrifying, and with the strength of one man, he killed sixteen of my horsemen......"
Cao Ang couldn't go on, his face was full of fear, and there was no smug look at the day. That horse warrior, with a pair of forty, killed nearly half, and patted his ass and left after finishing - so strong, I'm afraid that my father's personal general, the fierce general known as "evil", may not be so easy, right?
Cao Anmin also had palpitations, and glanced at the entrance of the cave from time to time, as if a life-seeking arrow would fly there at any time.
Cao Ang couldn't help but shake his head: "Don't worry, the mountains are reckless, the black lights are blind, no matter how powerful he is, he can't find here." β
As soon as the words fell, a soldier of the Cao Army appeared at the entrance of the cave, and rushed close to report: "Report to the two Simas, the bonfire of the Liaodong people has not been extinguished, and the fire is full of people, and there is nothing unusual." β
Cao Ang asked, "Have you ever been close to snooping?" Don't be deceived by the Liaodong people. β
"The subordinates got closer to twenty steps and saw that they were all real people."
Cao Ang and Cao Anmin breathed a sigh of relief. But Cao Anmin then sighed again: "Ma Han must leave by the waterway tomorrow morning at the latest." Alas! Uncle Zilian is afraid that it will be too late to intercept it. β
Cao Ang's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "Not necessarily, don't forget, there is also the infantry of the son and uncle......"
At this moment, Cao Ang suddenly saw Cao Anmin staring at the entrance of the cave with wide eyes, with a frightened expression on his face.
Cao Ang's heart jumped suddenly, his hand reached out to his waist, and he was about to draw his sword, when suddenly a sharp sound piercing his eardrum passed past his eardrum. With a pop, he seemed to have been splashed with a scoop of water head-on, and his eyes were all stupefied. When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was red, my nose was full of fishy smell, and I subconsciously stretched out my tongue and licked it, which was fishy and salty...... It's blood! Cao Ang was full of excitement, wiped his face, and when he saw what was in front of him, his head exploded - just three feet in front of him, his brother Cao Anmin held the arrow shaft stuck in his throat, staring at the entrance of the cave, and there was only fear in his eyes......
Cao Ang was like a robot, his neck twisted a little, turned to the direction of the hole, and his voice was so dry that it was not like a human voice: "Ma...... ......"
The entrance of the cave was clear, and I don't know when there was already a group of strong warriors with bows and knives on their backs. The first person is bowing and laughing: "I heard that you are looking for me, so I came." (To be continued......)
