Chapter 089: Serial Scheme (2)

Xuzhou is Cao Xiu's lair, and being easily dropped by the Shu army really made Cao Xiu feel faceless, and he has long hated the Shu army that has entered the country, and wants to get rid of it quickly, Li Dan's arrival is tantamount to drowsy and sending pillows to Cao Xiu, beautiful!

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, the fighter plane is fleeting, how dare Cao Xiu delay, as soon as Li Dan left, Cao Xiu immediately ordered the whole army to assemble, cross the river to the south on the same day, and prepare to attack the Shu army with Zhang Han and Li Huai in the north and south.

The ferry is ready-made, in fact, Li Dan is not coming, Cao Xiu is also ready to go south, after all, he is different from Xu Huang, his station is Xuzhou, it is impossible to stay in Hebei for a long time, moreover, the enemy is very red when he meets, I heard that the Shu army is on the other side of the river, but four or five thousand people, and he has 20,000 lions in his hand, if he just sits and waits to watch, wouldn't it make the generals of Cao Jun laugh at their cowardice? Is it a gentleman to have revenge and not to take revenge?

On the ferry, Cao Xiu held on to the railing of the ferry, looking at the south bank, the water of the Yellow River at this time was still clear, so the Yellow River was not called the Yellow River at this time, but was habitually called the big river. In the early morning, the water vapor on the river surface is pervasive, the river surface is wide, and the surging river water rolls eastward, giving people a kind of heroic feelings that are difficult to extinguish. But at this time, Cao Xiu was not in the mood to enjoy this spectacular scenery, his heart had already flown to the other side of the river, and he was still thinking in his heart, how to surround and annihilate the hateful Shu army and break thousands of corpses.

"General, it's landed!" After about an hour and a half, they finally arrived ashore, and the guards saw Cao Xiu standing at the bow of the boat in a daze, and unconsciously called softly.

The call of the guards brought Cao Xiu back to reality, Cao Xiu nodded calmly, coughed lightly, and walked off the ferry and went ashore with the support of the soldiers. The war horse has long been prepared, Cao Xiu is the last to go ashore, crossing the river is dangerous, Cao Xiu is a senior officer is impossible to be the first ship to be a death squad, although there is a tradition of generals on the battlefield in this era, but it is okay to go alone, but no fool is stupid enough to break away from the main force to single out thousands of enemy troops.

Cao Xiu turned over and got on his horse, and Cao Xiu's army infantry and cavalry were three or seven open, which was the standard equipment of Cao's mixed infantry and cavalry. Unlike the cavalry-based Mongol legions that galloped through the steppe in later generations, the Central Plains army, which shouldered the heavy task of attacking the city, could not completely abandon the infantry phalanx with siege advantages, and was stupid enough to believe that their war horses could really go up the enemy's walls. This time, the cavalry in Cao Zhen's army was only about five or six thousand.

After going ashore, the Cao army was completed, the front row was the cavalry, a hundred people in a horizontal row, neatly arranged, Cao Xiu rode a war horse, accompanied by the guards to review his troops, and then rushed out of the saber from his waist, and said loudly: "Shu Kou invaded the territory, broke my Pengcheng, killed my favorite general, slaughtered Li Min, this revenge is not avenged, in vain for a man, kill all Shu Kou, avenge the shame!" ”

"Revenge!"

"Revenge!"

"Revenge!"

"Revenge!"

The shouts were thunderous, and the whole army of Cao Jun was boiling. This kind of pre-war agitation speech is an essential quality of a good general, and an army can only fight when it knows what it is fighting for, which is why soldiers have emphasized the need to be famous since ancient times.

Turning the horse's head, he swung his sword forward, and said loudly, "Go!" ”

Cao Xiu took the lead, and the cavalry of the Cao army followed closely behind, killing in a mighty south.

At this time, in a woodland only a few hundred meters away from Cao Jun, a black shadow saw Cao Jun leave, jumped down from the tree, pinched his lips, and made a long whistle, and then, several horses rushed out from the depths of the forest, covering his face with a black veil for the first person, with a petite and graceful figure, and a clear-eyed person knew that it was a woman at a glance, and it was a beauty.

The man in black turned over and got on his horse, sat on the horse and arched his hand: "Purple Dark Head, Cao Xiu has gone south!" "The woman is none other than Xuzhou's secret head Zifeng.

Zifeng nodded and said, "You are staring here, see if Cao Xiu has any follow-up troops, report at any time!" ”

"No!" The man in black took the order and left.

After the man in black left, Zifeng turned the horse's head, waved his hand, and said, "Go, go back!" ”

Zifeng's war horse is a good horse from the Western Regions plundered from the Xuzhou pasture, the horsepower is amazing, and Cao Xiu's army is a mixed group of infantry and cavalry, so the marching speed is naturally not as fast as the cavalry. Therefore, Zifeng easily took the path to overtake the Cao army, and went all the way south to the Shu army camp. At this time, the Shu army had already ambushed Cao Xiu on the way to the south, preparing to fight him in an ambush battle.

On the side of the official road in the south, on the hillside, Xiao Bai saw several guards galloping from a distance, covering his face with black veils for the first person, dressed in purple, knowing that it was Zifeng, he hurriedly called Young Master Zhuge and said: "Childe, childe, Zifeng is back!" ”

Young Master Zhuge who was squatting on the side rolled his eyes when he heard this, and replied, "I'm not short-sighted, you have seen it, can I not see it?" ”

Although Xiaobai didn't know what myopia meant, he still roughly understood what Childe meant, and smiled, "I'm too excited!" ”

"Too excited? Could it be that you are interested in Zifeng? When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he asked with a lewd face.

Young Master Zhuge 's obscene expression made Xiao Bai shudder, and he hurriedly crossed his hands on his chest, made an X-shape, and said, "Childe, I am a serious person!" ”

When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he nodded with a lewd smile, patted Xiaobai's shoulder and said, "Xiaobai, I understand, everyone is a man!" ”

Xiaobai heard this, a black line, does this mean it?

"It's red!" Fu Shiren on the side pointed to the waving silk silk in Zifeng's hand, which was the code set by Zifeng and Young Master Zhuge .

When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he didn't care about laughing with Xiaobai, he turned his head to look, and sure enough, the red silk silk was imprinted in his eyes, Young Master Zhuge smiled, pulled out the long knife on his waist, and ordered in a low voice: "Act according to the plan and prepare for battle!" ”

When Xiaobai heard this, he immediately ordered the bannerman to convey the order to prepare for battle, and on the hillside, the Shu army was all squatting densely in the tall grass, surrounded by the rolling wood and stones that had been prepared, and attacked the crossbow arrows.

After about a stick of incense, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves mixed with the sound of infantry marching came from a distance, and this huge sound told the battle-hardened sergeants that the number of opponents was at least more than 10,000.

Soon, as far as the eye could see, smoke and dust were billowing up, and the banner of the Cao army was fluttering in the wind, yes, it was them!

Cao's army marched at a high pace, with thousands of cavalry opening the way in front, followed by long infantry formations, and at the rear were the baggage troops. It's getting closer and closer, it's getting closer and closer, Young Master Zhuge can even see Cao Xiu's slightly trembling beard, finally, Cao Jun entered the ambush circle scheduled by the Shu army, Young Master Zhuge saw this, pointed the bow and crossbow in his hand to the sky, and the sound of the dwarp crossed the sky, and a sharp sound resounded throughout the valley, "Kill!" Suddenly, the Shu army on the hillside ambushed all the soldiers, and the rolling wood and stones were overwhelming.

Cao Xiu was leading the cavalry gallop in the front army at this time, and suddenly heard the shouting of killing behind him, and when he looked back, his army was cut off by the waist, and more than 10,000 foot soldiers were suppressed by the overwhelming rolling wood and stones. Immediately furious, he hurriedly commanded the cavalry to restrain the soldiers who fled and scattered in all directions, and then commanded the army to outflank the Shu army from both sides of the hillside.

On the mountainside, Young Master Zhuge saw that the Cao army was not chaotic under the suppression of rolling wood and stones, but under the command of Cao Xiu, the orderly and rapid troops were outflanked by the Shu army on the mountainside, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, sighed, and said: "There is no void under the fame, no wonder Cao Xiu was praised by Cao Cao as Cao's Qianli Horse, and his command is still above the ban and others!" After speaking, he waved his hand and ordered: "After Fu Shiren breaks off, the whole army retreats!" ”

When Fu Shiren heard this, he led the army to block the Cao army, while Young Master Zhuge led his troops to gallop along the mountain road in the back mountain.
