~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Guo Fengxiao has been picked up by the Liaodong people first, and the one who picked up the person is the Liaodong Taishou, the newly promoted Wei General - Ma Han!" Cao Ang's eyes were burning, and he focused on the two generals who were as young as him, "He only brought sixty or seventy horsemen, as well as female dependents and servants, holding a pair of shelves for playing in the mountains and rivers, Zi and Uncle Anmin, what do you say?" ”

The round-faced general, Cao Anmin, Cao Ang's clan brother, heard this, his eyes lit up, and he waved his hand fiercely: "What else can I do, chase!" Capture him alive! ”

Cao Ang's gaze stayed on the face of a young general who was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, with a Chinese character face, a dignified appearance, two thick eight-character beards on his upper lip, and a keen eye. Compared with the clan brother who was out of the woods, he valued the opinion of this clan uncle who was a few years older than himself. Because of this uncle's military talents, even his father praised him, saying that he was a latent Jiao: "Zixiao is like a tiger, and Zihe is like a submersible", referring to the two brothers Cao Ren and Cao Chun.

Cao Chun, the first governor of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in history, once showed his might in the battles of Karasuma in the north and Liu Bei in the south. Under the onslaught of his tiger and leopard cavalry, Liu Bei was killed, and he made outstanding achievements. So much so that after his death, Cao Cao couldn't find a suitable new tiger and leopard cavalry governor for a while, so he could only lead it himself.

However, in this time and space, Cao Chun is no longer so lucky, especially after he makes a decision that he does not know whether to live or die......

Cao Chun pondered for a while, and said decisively: "Mr. Wenruo and Mr. Zhongde both said that if the eldest brother can welcome the Son of Heaven." Occupy the righteousness, and it will become a fish leaping into the dragon gate, but the hateful is preempted by the horseman...... Providence sent this person to our eyes, this is still a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if he misses it today, he will regret it one day. ”

Cao Ang's fists slammed together: "Okay!" That's it, it's decided, capture Ma Hu, in exchange for our army to enter Luoyang! ”

The six looked at each other, thinking that these young people would be a major event that would determine the future of their own forces, and their blood was surging. Scrappy.

Just as Ma Han searched everywhere for talent, Cao Cao was also troubled by the lack of talent, especially after the death of one of his important advisors, Xi Zhicai. Historically, it was after the death of Xi Zhicai that Cao Cao wrote to Xun Yu, asking him to recommend a successor who could be compared, and Xun Yu recommended Guo Jia, which led to Guo Jia's defection. But as it was said. That's because of the emperor's golden signboard, people took the initiative to go along, and now Cao Cao has survived the predicament and is beginning to show his grandeur. But in the final analysis, he is only a local warlord, and he lacks appeal to the scholars, and it is not enough to attract people to defect automatically. So, I want talent. Only to take the initiative.

Cao Hong led the army to camp in Yun County, and looked at Yingchuan, which has military significance. It also has the intention of taking the opportunity to search for talents. Therefore, Cao Ang, who was the military commander at the time, volunteered to take on this position. In terms of identity, Cao Ang is indeed the most suitable candidate, he is the eldest son of Cao Cao, the legal heir of the Cao Group, he came forward to recruit talents, and from a certain Cheng dΓΉ, he can represent Cao Cao and show full respect to the recruited.

It's just that when he went to Yang Zhai two hundred miles away to visit Xian, Cao Hong was naturally relieved, of course, there was still the necessary escort. Cao Anmin often followed Cao Ang around, and he was a fake Sima for his subordinates, so he naturally wanted to go together, and then arranged for Cao Chun, a cavalry captain with considerable experience in battle formations, to lead more than 120 cavalry to follow, such a lineup was safe and proper in Cao Hong's opinion.

It is true that the safety of the three uncles and nephews of the Cao family was proper, but this was before they died themselves......

Cao Chun is Cao Ren's own brother, and he has often heard his brother talk about him about horses, and his brother's jealousy impressed Cao Chun. Among the three, he can be regarded as having some understanding of Ma Han's ability and the power of Liaodong wolf riding, so he proposed a strategy of blocking and pressing back and containing and waiting for help.

"I led seventy foot soldiers, under the guidance of the guide, to intercept the horse before the mountain road was snatched; Zixiu and An Min led fifty horsemen to slowly oppress behind, causing the enemy to panic and find an opportunity to break it; Two more messengers, one man and three horses, rushed two hundred miles, and quickly returned to the camp in Yunxian County, asking Zilian to send reinforcements to help capture the thief. ”

Cao Chun's strategy includes interception, pursuit, and reinforcements, which is comprehensive in all aspects, and in the current situation, it is relatively safe. Cao Ang and Cao An agreed. The plan has been decided and will be implemented separately.

……

Ma Han did not know that an enemy army would be chasing after him, so the team walked unhurriedly. In fact, it is impossible to be fast, at this time the team has expanded to more than 150 people, nearly half of them are non-combatants such as servants and family members, plus all kinds of cages, altars and jars, carried by ox carts, staggering on the muddy mountain road, how can they get up quickly?

Therefore, although they left an hour earlier than Cao Jun, they were still caught up when they were still more than thirty miles away from Yangcheng.

"Cao Jun? Fifty rides? Under the banner of Cao? "After receiving the news from the wolf cavalry behind the palace, Ma Han was quite surprised, this Cao army should not be the infantry cavalry army that appeared in Yingyin the day before yesterday, right? If the answer is yes, then there are two questions: First, why are they chasing after them? Did you find out where you are, or did you happen to be on the same path? The second is that the wolf cavalry detected that there were more than 100 cavalry in this Cao army, and now only one team of cavalry was found, so where did the other infantry go?

Guo Jia was lying on an ox cart and watching, seemingly focused, but in fact he was single-minded, and the abnormal behavior of the horse warrior and the wolf rider could not be hidden from his eyes.

Looking at Guo Jia's inquiring eyes, Ma Han did not hide it, and explained the situation.

"Cao Jun has discovered the whereabouts of the lord." As soon as Guo Jiagang heard this, he immediately made a judgment, "This is Cao Jun from Yun County, and the purpose of coming here may be the same as that of the lord, but the result is that no one found it, but inadvertently found the trace of the lord." ”

Ma Han nodded, basically agreeing with Guo Jia's judgment, and in this way, Cao Jun's purpose was about to come out - to capture himself in order to get a piece of the feast in Luoyang. The person who can make such a decision that is related to the strategic direction of a group is definitely not small, which figure of the Cao family will be?

The people of the Cao family, in addition to Cao Cao, Ma Han is more familiar with only Cao Ren and Cao Hong brothers. First of all, it will definitely not be Cao Ren, this person has suffered his own big losses, and he dare not chase and kill with fifty horsemen. Secondly, it is unlikely that it will be Cao Hong. This Captain Ying Yang is the chief general of the First Army, and he is a military aircraft, not to mention that he has no time to walk 200 miles to come here, and even if he comes, he will not only take more than 100 steps to ride.

Among the early characters of the Cao family in Ma Han's impression, these two people are the most outstanding, since they are not these two, there is no need to worry too much. At the moment, he said to Guo Jia: "It's only fifty rides, Feng Xiao just continues to watch the scroll, and he will go back." ”

The horse warrior led ten horsemen. Turning around, he turned on the heat source scan as he walked, and soon found a red dot in the second mile behind, counting, exactly a little more than a hundred (plus war horses), and did not find the same dense vital signs nearby, which means that the team of foot soldiers was not nearby.

Ma Han immediately ordered the front and right sentinels to strengthen their vigilance, and the left side was surging water. There is no danger of being an enemy.

This piece is the remaining vein of Songshan Mountain, the peaks and peaks are dense, the mountain road is tortuous, sometimes dozens of steps. Sometimes a hundred steps are a turn, and there are few straights. Ma Han and his entourage had just turned a big bend that was folded at a right angle, and they rushed towards them and shouted from afar: "General be careful." The enemy was strong, and we wounded several brothers. ”

As he spoke, the wolf rode closer. Behind the four war horses carried four blood-stained wolf rider warriors.

Ma Han frowned, these wolf cavalry warriors who were not lightly injured were all wounded by arrows, and they were able to shoot at the wolf tooth flying cavalry and be injured, the combat power and equipment of this group of Cao Jun were very good.

A wolf rider warrior had an indignant expression: "The mountain road with a twist in this song is really harmful, dozens of steps are a turn, and we can't get away......"

Ma Han now understood, the wolf tooth flying horse relied on the long-range shot of the pulley bow to control the distance between zhì and the enemy, and the core purpose was that I can shoot you, you can't shoot me. If you are in open areas such as plains and grasslands, you can control the rhythm of the battlefield lightly. However, this time, due to the limitations of the terrain, the distance between the enemy and us was limited to dozens of paces, so that the wolf rider's long-range shooting advantage was lost, and the result of such a confrontation was bound to be a defeat for both sides. The wolf's tooth flying horses behind the palace only have ten horses, but Cao Jun has fifty horses, how can he beat others?

The Wolf Tooth Flying Rider usually wears only half of the body in thin armor, and is light and fast first, and plays tactics rather than hard work, so hard to hit, the gains outweigh the losses. Ma Han immediately ordered to let the wolf rider behind the palace retreat, and then took off the magic pupil bow, put on the arm shield, turned over and dismounted, and the two wolf riders dismounted from the same big shield, protecting the left and right.

Ma Han and Erhu had just turned a corner, and the sound of hooves was rushing in front of them, and a group of Cao cavalry came surging forward. Ma Han really saw it, Cao Jun's equipment was actually very ordinary, the knights were wrapped in scarves, some were wearing armor and some were not armored, and the horses were also of different heights, three horses in a row, holding bows and shields, and the momentum was very fierce.

As soon as the three of them appeared, they flew in front of them and counted arrows, and when they were counted, they were nailed to the iron shield and were all bounced away.

On the other side, Cao Jun exclaimed: "Iron shield! It's actually an iron shield! ”

"The one who came is an armored general, maybe it's a horseman!"

"Quick! Rush up and capture him alive! ”

At that time, the leather shield was already a good shield, like Cao Jun could only use a wooden shield, and the iron shield was extremely rare, and Ma Han was blinded by a bright light armor, which easily reminded Cao Jun of his identity.

Ma Han's face was cold, his eyes were like ice, his left hand moved, he had grabbed a wolf's tooth arrow, and his right hand quickly clamped the arrow to hook the string, no need to aim at all, the string opened and shot. An arrow is shot, and the second arrow is already on the string, and the sound of the string turning is endless, and one arrow chases the other arrow, and the arrow is continuous. At first glance, it seems to form a long "line", one end of the line is pinched in the hands of the horseman, and the other end is connected to the cavalry of the Cao army.

Puff puff! The cavalry of the Cao army was like a domino that had been pushed down, slipping along the horse's back, screaming and screaming, and the blood mist filled the air.

At the same time, Ma Han and the two servants were also subjected to a dense accumulation of more than 20 arrows.

Bang Bang! The two of them almost retracted from their bodies into the big shield, and the shield was full of arrows, and the two of them were in danger. And because Ma Han wanted to focus on killing the enemy, half of his body leaned out, and he was taken care of, and his upper body was hit by at least six arrows. At this time, you can see the super protective power of the Mingguang armor, at least three arrows have been bounced off, and only three or four arrows are inserted in the armor, but its momentum has been exhausted and unscathed.

The cavalry of the Cao army never thought that one person could shoot so many arrows in such a short period of time, as if he was an eight-armed god general, and the arrows were fierce, comparable to a strong crossbow, and they were overturned by more than ten horsemen at once, and suffered heavy losses. The surviving cavalry of the Cao Army all reined in horror and retreated in panic, leaving behind the corpses of men and horses.

The horse's armor shook, and the arrows stuck in his body fell to the ground one after another, staring coldly at the Cao cavalry who disappeared around the bend - if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't pursue because of the bend, these dozens of Cao soldiers wouldn't have wanted to escape alive from 200 paces away.

"Let's go, the enemy won't dare to chase after him for a while......" Ma said as he turned on his horse.

Before the words fell, a rumbling sound came from the front, and a huge roar continued to echo among the mountains, startling countless birds and beasts.

Ma looked at the source of the sound in horror, and his face changed slightly.

Before long, a fast horse rushed from the front, and his voice was anxious: "Report to the general, the mountain road ahead has been pushed down by people and blocked by huge rocks, and it is impossible to move forward." ”

Almost at the same time, there was a burst of smug laughter from the corner where Cao Jun disappeared: "Hahahaha! The front is blocked, and there are pursuers behind. Ma Jinglong, you have no way out, even if you are an eight-armed god general, in the face of my thousands of arms, there is only one way to tie your hands. Ma Jinglong, surrender! (To be continued......)
