Chapter 542: Guo Jia's Stratagem and Cao Cao's Confidence
The two had already learned Pang De's name from Cao Zhang's mouth, and they were not surprised to hear it at this time, the two heard it, and replied at the same time: "A certain Hebei Yanliang is also!" After saying that, he swords and guns came out and attacked Pound.
Pound raised his knife to parry, and at the same time surprised in his heart: "It turned out to be them!" However, the two of them combined a round of onslaught, so that Pound did not dare to be distracted anymore. Yan Liang and Wen Chou, just one is enough to have a tie with Pang De, not to mention that the two of them have Kuang's powerful combination technique.
At this time, the two of them shot together and pressed Pound to attack. However, he may be shocked by Pound's powerful sword, so he did not dare to attack with all his strength without reservation, but left some spare strength, so that Pound could remain undefeated for the time being.
Pang De never thought that Yan Liang and Wen Chou would be so powerful, and he was beaten against the two of them so much that he had no power to fight back, so he could only fight hard.
After fighting for about thirty rounds, Yan Liang and Wen Chou also saw that Pang De was not pretending, but was indeed not the opponent of the two, so the offensive became more violent.
At this time, I saw Wen Chou stabbing at Pound with a shot, and Pound hurriedly raised his knife. Before he could breathe, Yan Liang's big knife had already slashed over there, and Pang De slammed the big knife and struck to catch up! "When 111111"
Under the two knives, a crisp sound erupted. However, Pound's crisis did not pass, and Wen Chou over there quickly stabbed with a shot. At this time, the big knife in Pound's hand was resisted by Yan Liang, Wen Chou stabbed him in the chest with a shot, and Pound could only barely turn around and dodge on the horse. "Poof, one, one, one, one
With a soft sound, Pang Luo didn't completely dismiss, and Wen Chou's spear stabbed Pang De's left arm. The injury to his left arm made Pound resist Yan Liang's knife a little weakly.
Over there, Yan Liang sneered, the danger of Fang Cai made Yan Liang extremely angry, and at this time, seeing the opportunity, he pressed Pang De hard, intending to speed up the blood in Pang De's body to flow out of the wound. "Don't worry about Ling Ming, Zhang Liao is here!"
When Pang De was in danger, Zhang Liao, who had already seen Yan Liang and Wen Chou killed in the camp, immediately came out of the camp to rescue. It's just that the three of them fought very quickly, and it wasn't until this time that Zhang Liao arrived.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou once fought with Zhang Liaowen when they were courting Dong, and when they saw Zhang Liao killed, they were not panicked. Liuyan Liang pressed Pang De's attack, and Wen Chou over there was a gun to meet Zhang Liao who was calling!
Seeing Zhang Liao, who was wearing neat armor, killing him, Wen Chou stabbed straight with a gun! The two horses intersected, only to hear a crisp sound of "poof", and Wen Chou directly stabbed into the throat of the comer. Wen Chou was surprised in his heart, and said secretly: "So weak! But he didn't care about these, he directly raised the person in front of him, and shouted: "Zhang Liao is dead, don't kill those who descend!" ”
It's just that Wen Chou's voice has not yet fallen, and a shout came from not far away on the other side: "Zhang Liao is here, all the gentlemen should move forward and kill!" ”
Wen Chou was shocked when he heard this, and turned his head to look, but saw that Yan Liang was injured in the arm over there. And a man dressed as a pawn holding a Qimen weapon that looked like a knife but not a knife, and a sword but not a sword, escorted the wounded Pang De to the camp to kill.
Wen Chou knew at a glance that the person dressed as a pawn was the real Zhang Liao. And Sergeant Zhang Xiu was still shocked when he heard Wen Chou's shouting, but later saw that the person who spoke was holding Zhang Liao's unique weapon straight knife, so he settled down and continued to fight.
Over there, Zhang Liao rescued Pang De by fraud, and both of them were secretly relieved, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were together, and the threat was too great. Even if Pang De and Zhang Liao join forces, they will definitely not be the enemies of the two. Zhang Liao also knew this very well, so he asked his pro-soldiers to pretend to be himself, lure away Wen Chou, and then took advantage of the situation to rescue Pang De.
Zhang Liao and Pang De did not dare to stay after they came out, and immediately rushed back to the camp. Zhang Liao ordered people to ming, and at the same time asked the archers to carry out projectile strikes against the Cao army chasing from afar, and at the same time commanded the sword and shield men and spearmen in the camp to line up and stand guard.
Later, Wen Chou came to De Yanliang's side, and saw that he only suffered some flesh wounds, and his heart was a little settled. Yan Liang hastily tore off a piece of cloth and just bandaged the wound, when he heard the crisp sound of gold coming from Zhang Xiujun's camp. Yan Liang heard this, and hurriedly said to Wen Chou: "Chase quickly!" Wen Chou nodded, and together with Yan Liang, he rode a horse and led the army to kill Zhang Xiujun's camp.
Over there, Zhang Xiujun heard the sound of Mingjin, but the formation was not chaotic, and automatically under the command of the colonel, the front army changed into the rear team, and then retreated step by step. If the Cao army over there is in a hurry, the pikemen behind will form a gun formation to launch a surprise attack on the pursuing Cao soldiers. At the same time, the archers and light crossbowmen in the battalion did not stop firing.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou are also battle-hardened people, and when they saw that Zhang Xiu's army was not chaotic, the bows and arrows in the camp were fired in volleys, but they glanced at each other. In this case, the two are reluctant to chase, because the pursuit will definitely lose a lot, but if they don't chase, they are afraid that Cao Zhang will blame them. "When you sue, when you are 111111"
Just as Yan Liang and Wen Chou were hesitating, the sound of Mingjin sounded on Cao Ying's side. Yan Liang and Wen Chou exhaled lightly, and immediately led Cao Jun to retreat like a lake.
Later, Zhang Liao saw Cao Jun retreating, and a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes. I saw that Zhang Liao was surrounded by huge bed crossbows and crossbow carts, and the soldiers of the brigade were preparing behind these super-large crossbows. Zhang Liao was confident that if Fang Cai Yan Liang and Wen Chou led people to rush over, he would shoot them all into a hornet's nest. Zhang Liao waved his hand helplessly to the little school behind him and said, "Let's take it back." ”
The colonel answered and ordered the soldiers to push the bed crossbow and the crossbow cart back into the camp, and then Zhang Liao ordered the deputy general to strengthen the vigilance and not to relax. After that, he hurried to the tent to see Pound's injury.
As soon as he arrived outside Pound's marching tent, he smelled a smell of medicine, Zhang Liao walked into the tent, and saw that Pound's left arm had been bandaged with a white cloth, and a Lang Zhong was about to come out. Seeing this, Zhang Liao hurriedly grabbed Lang Zhong and said, "Doctor, how is Ling Ming's injury?" ”
The man threw up his hand and said, "General Zhang, don't worry, General Pang was only wounded by a gunshot, not his muscles and bones. The old man has already given General Pang the medicine passed down by the master, and he only needs to recuperate for about ten days. However, in the past few days, you can't use force, you can't get water on your wounds, and you can't eat some food. ”
Zhang Liao knew that Zhang Xiu's doctors in the army were all disciples who had listened to Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji's lectures, and their medical skills were much better than ordinary doctors. In particular, these medicines specially used to treat the injuries of their generals were all prepared by Hua Tuo himself, which can be described as the elixir of the world.
After Zhang Liao personally sent Na Langzhong out, he walked back to the tent and asked Pang De: "Is there a big problem with Ling Ming?" Pound shook his head and smiled, "It's okay." After a pause, he asked, "Did Cao Jun chase after him?" ”
Zhang Liao shook his head with some disappointment and said, "The main peak of the Cao army is cautious, it seems that this battle will not end so soon." Pound smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, anyway, our army has to delay time for the lord." ”
Zhang Liao nodded and said, "Yes." Ling Ming, you have to rest, Cao Jun is fierce, if there is only one Liao, it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists. ”
After hearing this, Pang De laughed and said: "Although De can't use force, he can still command the army." He snorted lightly and said, "That Yan Liang and Wen Chou have some skills. ”
Zhang Liao had fought with Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and knew how powerful the two of them were to attack together, so he nodded and said, "I don't want Cao Cao to send both of them away." But that's fine, the lord's side should be able to relieve a lot of pressure. ”
Pang De agreed and said: "That's true, I hope the lord can break Cao Cao's main force in one fell swoop, so the situation will be settled." ”
Zhang Liao nodded and said, "I hope so!" ”
When the battle between Zhang Liao and Cao Zhang's army began, Zhang Xiu also led the army to rush towards Cao Cao's main force. Two days after Zhang Xiu's army left Guancheng, Wang Shuang and Pang Rou had already led the army to join Zhang Xiu, and at this time there were 50,000 troops heading towards Cao Cao's main force.
Zhang Xiu looked back at the things in the Chinese army, dragged by war horses. It was Zhang Xiu who asked Huo Jun's water army to transport the bed crossbow and crossbow cart from Luoyang by water, these are Zhang Xiu's secret weapons against Cao Cao this time!
The bed crossbow and the crossbow cart hummed bitterly, but because the wheels were made of wood, they couldn't walk too fast. And because it can't be too bumpy, so that the bed crossbow and the crossbow car may be worn, Zhang Xiu specially arranged for Pang Zhen to lead the front army to smooth the road as much as possible before the army, so although Zhang Xiu's army is all cavalry, the speed is not too fast.
After walking for nearly five days, Zhang Xiu knew that he was getting closer and closer to Cao Jun, so he didn't dare to go too fast, for fear of being taken advantage of by Cao Cao. Every day, the general scouts are sent out to inquire about the situation of Cao's army, which can be described as a small -u+-1\-o+-o
At noon on this day, when Zhang Xiu was arranging for the army to rest in the grove on the side to escape the heat, "suddenly a scout hurriedly came to Zhang Xiu and reported: "General, I found a brigade of Cao soldiers in front, and the number of people will not be less than 10,000!"
Zhang Xiu, who was gathering around to discuss the situation with everyone, heard this, and the whole person got up and asked anxiously: "Can you find what words are embroidered on the flag of Cao Junshuai, and what is the terrain where Cao Jun is located?" ”
These scout captains usually have some low-level education, and Zhang Xiu will send someone to teach them to recognize the words embroidered on the enemy's banner before each battle, so that it is convenient for the scouts to find out more accurate information. Of course, this does not mean that the scouts are literate, but they can only be regarded as simply recognizable.
When the scout captain heard this, he hurriedly reported: "General, the last general saw that the enemy commander's flag was embroidered with the character Cao. There are also two hills on either side, but the hills are far from the main road and are not too dangerous. ”
Zhang Xiu heard it, but waved the scout back. Pang Rou was the first to say: "Lord, is Cao Jun cheating? ”
Before Zhang Xiu could answer, Hua Xiong, who was experienced next to him, touched his chin and said, "Since the two nearby Xiaosheng are far away from the main road, and the Cao army has no cavalry, how can they be ambushed?" ”
Pang Rou and Hua Xiong's words exactly represent what Zhang Xiu thinks in his heart, saying that Cao Jun is not cheating, and Zhang Xiu doesn't even believe it. Based on Zhang Xiu's understanding of Cao Cao and Cao Cao's advisers, Cao Jun suddenly took the initiative to reveal his whereabouts, which must have his intentions. But this kind of terrain is unlikely to be ambushed, if there are cavalry in Cao's army, it is reasonable. But even if Cao Cao had cavalry under him, it would certainly not be many, and without the appearance of a large group of cavalry, it was unlikely to pose a threat to his own army.
Zhang Xiu couldn't figure it out, so he turned his head to look at Jia Xu on the side. Seeing this, Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said: "Cao Jun may be cheating, but the lord has the advantage of crossbow arrows, but he is not afraid of him!" ”
After listening to this, Zhang Xiu felt that Jia Xu was reasonable, in that kind of terrain, even if the Cao army had cavalry, Zhang Xiu could directly destroy the Cao army with crossbow arrows in a head-to-head confrontation. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu made up his mind and immediately ordered: "Ma Chao and Pang Rou listen to the order!" The two of you led an army of 20,000 as the front army, and when advancing, you must be careful of Cao's ambush. The rest of the generals set off with the Chinese army! When everyone heard this, they replied in unison, "No......"
Ma Chao and Pang Zhen led the army to leave first, and after Zhang Xiu left his personal guards to protect Jia Xu, he and Hua Xiong, Wang Shuang, Hu Che'er, and Zhou Cang led the army at the same time, followed by Ma Chao's front. Although the two armies were divided into the front army and the middle army, since they knew that there was a large group of Cao troops in front, they were not far apart.
Zhang Xiu looked at the dozens of crossbow carts and bed crossbows pulled by several war horses behind him, and secretly sneered in his heart: "Cao Cao, even if you have a thousand boat schemes, in the face of absolute strength, it is in vain!" Zhang Xiu is confident, in terms of equipment, Cao Cao cannot compare with himself. "Boom Boom One One One"
Fifty thousand cavalry marched, and the sound of continuous horse hooves was overwhelming, like a drought thunder on a sunny day, which passed through the ears and entered the heart, which made people frightened.
The sound of the march of the cavalry was heard for dozens of miles around. At this time, in the formation of the Cao army of the brigade, Cao Cao heard the incessant sound of horses' hooves, and a faint worry rose in his heart. Guo Jia, who turned his head to look at the side, asked, "Fengxiao, can you say that this plan will work?" ”
Guo Jia smiled confidently and said: "My lord, rest assured, although Zhang Xiujun's combat power is powerful, but the war horse is not the same as a person." Zhang Xiu has the ability to train people, but it is impossible to have the ability to train war horses. Animals always have the nature of animals, if you don't want to be calculated, unless you are a god who descends to earth to have such the ability to control livestock! ”
Cao Cao listened to it, and carefully recalled Guo Jia's plan, and found that it was indeed as Guo Jia said, unless it was really a fairy descending to earth, it was impossible for Zhang Xiu to miss the plan. Well, Cao Cao's heart was settled, and at the same time he tied Cao Hong next to him, and said: "Zilian, you go to the front army to inquire about the news from Berning and help him." Cao Hong heard this, and led the order to ride away.
When Cao Hong arrived at the former army, he immediately asked, "Berning, how is the situation now?" ”
Seeing that it was Cao Hong, Man Chong smiled and said: "Zilian and rest assured, Zhang Xiu's army is coming." Zike's side is ready. As long as Zhang Xiu arrives, his army will inevitably panic under Guo Xian's clever plan, and then I will be able to defeat Zhang Xiu! After speaking, Man Pet clenched his fists, and his body flashed with confidence.
