Chapter 315: There are pursuers behind
It was still July 194 A.D., and Shi Xin was still fifteen years old. Half a month ago, he united with the princes of many roads, used the chain plan and the beauty plan, and personally collapsed the Donglu Alliance. After this battle, he was joined by 20,000 soldiers and horses and a number of strategists, and his strength expanded rapidly.
Later, Sima Yi and Huang Que followed behind, cleaned up the mess of Chang'an, and became the new master of Chang'an, and then led the three thousand corpse soldiers Shi Xin to hand over Liu Xie. Shi Xin was forced to leave Chang'an and retreat towards the Beihai Holy Sect.
Now he is walking with Cai Yan on the road belonging to Yanzhou, Cao's territory.
Only two miles away from them were Xu Rong, Chen Gong, and the trapped camp led by Gao Shun, as well as Lu Bu and Diao Chan, who had lost their skills.
Two miles away, Zhao Yun, Zhou Tai and Zhang Ning, as forwards, have already stepped into Zhongmu.
In order not to attract too much attention, all the horses of the Holy Army were not on horseback, except for a few scouts who were fraternal of the Eagle Division. The downside of this is that they travel a lot slower.
In a dense forest in Guandu, twenty miles away from Zhongmu, there is a team of cavalry that has been hidden for a long time. They are Cao's most lethal elite troops, with a total of 200 people, known as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
The leader of the Haw Par Rider has always been Cao's immediate family, both in the past and in this life. In the previous life, he was Cao Chun, and in this life he became Cao Ren.
Cao Ren is a bit outrageously strong, Gao is about the same as Gao Shun, but the material is wider than Gao Shun, plus his cold watch, dark skin, like a hard stone.
This kind of person, everyone can rest assured that important things are entrusted to him, even arrogant people like Dian Wei Xu Chu are convinced.
At this time, Cao Ren and Dian Wei Xu Chu stood together, and a black horse in armor stopped not far from them. Farther away, the two hundred soldiers of the tiger and leopard rode on the war horse, uniformly dressed in black and black armor, the people were silent, and the horses did not neigh. Even if it doesn't move, it gives people a sense of majesty and a heavy mountain.
"General, the lord clearly asked us to lay an ambush in Zhongmu at the military meeting, and then he turned his head and sent someone to convey the change to Guandu, why is this?" Dian Wei frowned and asked.
"As a general, we must absolutely obey the orders of the lord, and we will try to take care of the rest of the things as little as possible. Cao Ren said in a deep voice.
His voice was thick, so thick that it was a little muddy, and it was not very comfortable to listen to in the ears.
Dian Wei hurriedly agreed "yes", and didn't dare to say more. As a good fighter, he can already stand on his own, but as a general, he still has a lot to learn.
Cao Ren looked into the distance, and there was only one thing in his heart: Meng De, this Shi Xin really deserves your so much attention? You guessed that Shi Xin's first choice was Guandu, but he deliberately said in the military meeting that he was ambushed in Zhongmu, and then secretly let us go to Guandu, so many times
Bend, I don't trust some of the generals in the tent, right?
Cao Ren didn't know who Cao was guarding against, maybe he was guarding against everyone. Except for the brothers surnamed Xiahou and Cao, Cao didn't trust anyone.
But Cao Ren firmly believed that Cao's judgment was correct, and Shi Xin would definitely pass through Guandu.
A fast horse arrived from the south, and a Cao Jun scout rolled his saddle and dismounted, panting and saying, "General, Zhao Yun, the right protector of the Holy Sect, and Zhou Tai and Zhang Ning have just passed through Zhongmu and headed east. And Gao Shun and the others were about to enter Zhongmu, and Shi Xin was two miles behind them. ”
"What!"
With a "bang", the furious Cao Ren punched the tree next to him, and the leaves fell with a whizz.
"Shi Xin actually took away from it?how is it possible" Cao Ren's eyes widened angrily, and his momentum skyrocketed in an instant.
The scout's face was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a pop, "The general is angry, the situation is completely true! We have told you as quickly as possible, and I hope the general will deal with it as soon as possible!"
"Okay, got it, you go down!" Cao Ren regained his composure, and then shouted loudly, "Tiger and leopard ride, ready to go!"
The sudden roar was rough and thick, and the birds in the woods were so startled that they scrambled away from the branches and flapped their wings into the sky.
By the time Cao Ren led Dian Wei Xu Chu and the tiger and leopard riders to appear two miles away from Zhongmu, Shi Xin had already crossed Zhongmu and walked forward three miles.
"Damn, Shi Xin actually avoided our ambush, could it be that Meng De's guess was wrong? But how could Shi Xin give up crossing Guandu and go to Zhongmu instead? Alas, no matter, anyway, it's in front, just catch up and kill it!"
Cao Ren thought about it, and was about to order the whole army to pursue, when he suddenly felt a shock to the earth, and a large group of men and horses flew from the south, flags were flying, and smoke and dust were billowing out.
Looking into the distance, the word Xiahou was printed on the banner, and Cao Ren recognized that it was Xiahou Yuan's team.
"Huh, what's the matter?"
Cao Ren was taken aback, and rode up with the tiger and leopard, and within a few moments he joined Xiahou Yuan's army.
It was not only Xiahou Yuan who came, but also his brother Xiahou Yuan.
Xiahou Yuan immediately greeted Cao Ren and arched his hand: "Zixiao, not long after you left, Meng De still didn't feel safe, so he specially ordered me and my eldest brother to come to meet you and intercept Shi Xin." ”
"Meng De has already guessed that Shi Xin does not pass through Guandu"
"I don't know, anyway, he asked us to come to Zhongmu. He knew that I was good at long-distance travel, so he sent me and my eldest brother here to make sure we took Shi Xin's life!"
Cao Ren was slightly surprised, "We all came out, so wouldn't the attack on Yuzhou be delayed?
Xiahou Yuan shook his head and said, "In short, Meng De is."
I have also persuaded him to arrange it this way, but he said that the white bones in Yuan Shu's grave are the same when he goes to collect his body, but Shi Xin is different, and letting him go back to Qingzhou is equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain and the dragon into the sea, and it will be too late to clean him up when he goes back. ”
Cao Ren nodded and said, "That's without further ado, let's catch up quickly!"
Shi Xin and Cai Yan, who had already run out of Zhongmu Sanli Road, received an urgent report from the scouts: Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan joined forces and came by themselves. In the ranks, there were Cao Rendian, Wei Xu Chu, five generals of the Xiahou brothers, tiger and leopard cavalry, and a thousand cavalry who were good at running.
The scout reported again: Zhao Yun of the vanguard, Gao Shun and Chen Gong of the Chinese army knew about the incident, and were leading the trapped camp to rescue, gathering a team of nearly 300 people along the way, and asked the lord to quickly go forward and gather with them.
The situation was critical, Shi Xin pulled Cai Yan and ran forward quickly, and after a while, he joined Zhao Yun and others.
Chen Gong stepped forward and said: "My lord, since Cao has discovered our whereabouts, I have ordered all the soldiers to speed up and march in the direction of Qingzhou as quickly as possible, and I believe that we can reach Jinan County, to which Qingzhou belongs, within four days." Of course, I say it's part of long-distance military training. At the same time, I have sent a fast horse to inform Kong Rong and ask him to station troops near Jinan County to receive our troops into the country. ”
"In addition, according to the report just received, the large army of Cao's army is stationed in Changshe, less than twenty miles from here, and the cavalry will only need two hours to catch up with us. The target of his troops here should be Yuzhou. ”
"The layout of the public platform is very appropriate, so let's run forward quickly, and run as far as we can. ”
Zhao Yun looked ahead, and said with a stern face: "I'm afraid it's too late......"
As far as the eye could see, smoke and dust were billowing from them, the ground was trembling, and two groups of cavalry were approaching at a rapid pace.
The team on the left, under the banner of "Cao", is a black horse and black clothes, exuding a heavy and murderous tiger and leopard ride.
The team on the right, under the banner of "Xiahou", is faster than the tiger and leopard cavalry, and it is the Xiahou Yuan cavalry who is good at riding and running.
The five generals are Cao Ren, who is famous for his defense, Xu Chu, the rising star of the Twin Towers, and Cao's henchmen, the Xiahou brothers. Except for Dian Wei Xu Chu, the other three were all masters of the seventh-rank pulse master.
On the side of the Holy Sect, Shi Xin Cai Yan, Zhao Yun, Chen Gong Gao Shun, only Chen Gong and Gao Shun reached the seventh rank, and there were only 70 people trapped in the camp on the army side, and a hastily established team of 300 people.
There is such a disparity in strength, as if the defeat is decided.
But Shi Xin is a person who never gives up, and he has at least seen one advantage, that is, his own pulse master combination is more comprehensive than theirs, especially Chen Gong and Cai Yan are both control pulse masters. This, he believes, is the key to their success.
But the first thing that Shi Xin had to solve was a serious problem, that is, how to resist the opponent's cavalry charge.
