Chapter 37: The Capture of Lingling
Looking at his soldiers, Li Hao also nodded secretly in his heart, he had never told his soldiers about his arrangements before.
But now when they say they are retreating, these soldiers are in the slightest formation and retreat in an orderly manner.
On the contrary, it was Cao Zhen's side, the formation was loose and saggy, and from a distance, it seemed that Cao Zhen's side was the one who lost the battle.
The quality of the soldiers in this can know what kind of character Cao Zhen is in Cao Cao's mind.
It's just a pity that Cao Cao didn't expect that Li Hao would be able to break Li Dian's camp in a few days, and now he turned his eyes to his rear, and the result was to bury the life of his dearest nephew.
Cao Zhen chased all the way, his face was extremely excited, dreaming of becoming famous in one fell swoop, and he didn't observe at all, although Li Hao was retreating, the formation was not chaotic at all, and at the same time, Li Hao's pace was also very uniform, and it didn't look like he was defeated at all.
After running for about three miles, Li Hao expected that it was almost over, so he immediately reined in his horse's head and pointed his spear at the sky, "Kill me!"
The soldiers below did not feel the slightest discomfort, and when they heard Li Hao's order, they immediately changed from a state of retreat to a state of attack.
Cao Zhen and his soldiers didn't figure out why the defeated army, who was still "fleeing for their lives" just now, suddenly came back.
Cao Zhenjun, who couldn't adapt to it, was caught off guard when he was killed all of a sudden, and before Cao Zhen could even react, he was stabbed by Li Hao with a shot.
As soon as Cao Zhen died, his soldiers immediately fell into a state of chaos, some wanted to fight, some wanted to escape, and there was no resistance in front of Li Hao's soldiers.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves not far away directly became the last straw that crushed their morale.
"The will to fall into battle, there is death and no life!"
"The will to fall into battle, there is death and no life!"
Zhao Yun really didn't disappoint Li Hao, seeing Li Hao's temporary changes, Zhao Yun followed, Li Hao also found that one thousand light horses were missing three hundred light horses, and Li Hao praised Zhao Yun in his heart.
"Those who descend will not be killed!
"I'll surrender!"
Cao Zhen's subordinates were not elite soldiers in the first place, otherwise they would not have been sent to Cao Zhen by Cao Cao.
In the face of the wolf-like light cavalry and the pawns on Li Hao's side, plus his main general Cao Zhen is dead, there is no intention of fighting at all.
As a result, there were more than 10,000 more soldiers in Li Hao's army.
Now Li Hao and Zhao Yun already have 30,000 soldiers under them.
"Senior brother, your pretending to be invincible is really a stroke of genius, if it was the original plan, we would inevitably have casualties, and now we have taken this Lingling City almost without a single soldier, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers, now we have enough strength to fight against Cao Thief!"
Zhao Yun was extremely excited, and at the same time admired Li Hao even more, he was able to use soldiers like a god like this, Zhao Yun had only seen Zhuge Liang.
"Senior brother, you are also amazing, if I change the formation temporarily, you can cooperate with me immediately, if my guess is right, Lingling City should have been taken at this time. ”
"Haha, junior brother who knows me, let's go back to Lingling City first. ”
"Well, let's rectify it when we go back to Lingling City, and the next battle is the beginning of the real test. ”
......
"Report ...... According to the report of the spies, Lingling City was captured by Zhao Yunjun, and General Cao Zhen was killed!"
“...... Say it again!"
Cao Cao, who was discussing with the low-level generals and strategists what to do in the face of the current problem, was so shocked that he stood up directly when he heard Tanma's return.
"What the hell is going on? Is this Cao really a waste? Lingling City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I have hoarded enough baggage defense equipment in it, even if it is true that all the Mancheng army is eaten, I can defend the city and wait for support. ”
"This ...... The subordinates don't know ......"
Tanma lowered his head, and a cold sweat broke out all over his body, he knew that Cao Cao had always been moody, and now when he encountered this kind of thing, he didn't answer a word well, and he was afraid that his head would fall to the ground.
Cao Cao saw Tanma's frightened look, waved his hand, and let him go down.
"It's me who gets too carried away, too lightly underestimating the enemy, this Liu Bei's subordinates are really the hidden dragon and crouching tiger, I was so confused by the ghost that Cao Zhen was annoyed, I really let him go to guard Lingling, gentlemen, this is my fault." ”
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he directly bowed down and bowed to the surrounding ministers and generals.
The military generals below hurriedly stood up, not daring to say anything, among which Xun Yu coughed lightly and said, "Sikong, now is not a question of who is right and who is wrong, Lingling is an important node in the rear of our army, and this must not be placed in Liu Bei's hands." ”
"I know this, I don't know if Wen Ruo has any good plans to teach me?"
"Sikong, now our army seems to be in a state of overwhelming strength, but in fact it is in crisis. Things have changed, we can't hesitate, according to my plan, Sikong can order General Zixiao to lead the tiger and leopard to ride forward to pursue Liu Thief, and we must not give them a chance to breathe. ”
"Sikong can rashly have an army of 50,000 and go to Lingling to surround Zhao Yun, so that he can't move at will, and there are tens of thousands of troops, which will be led by me as a mobile force. ”
“...... If Ziruo's plan is very good, do what Ziruo says, Zixiao, this Liu thief depends on your performance, and you must not let them run to Jiangling!"
"Sikong rest assured, I will definitely bring Liu Thief's head to see him, if not, I am willing to offer Xiang's head. ”
"Haha, I know that Zixiao is brave and must be invincible, so don't say it again, okay, gentlemen, go down and start!"
"Whoa!"
Seeing that the lowly people had all walked out of the military tent, Cao Cao stared into the distance and whispered, "Zhao Yun?"
......
After Li Hao and Zhao Yun entered the city, they immediately began to deploy defenses, although Cao Zhen was wasted, he still knew how to collect grain and grass.
Now the grain and grass in Lingling City is enough for 20,000 people to eat for half a year.
In addition to what Li Hao got from Li Dian's camp, these 30,000 people were enough to garrison Lingling City for half a year.
Things have been developing in a better and better direction, and Li Hao is now thinking of ways to improve his strength to A- and reach the level of a god general, so that he can have the greatest confidence that he can complete the final plan.
"Now the generals around Cao Cao are too many fierce people, and if they don't reach A-, I'm afraid they won't be able to seize the opportunity even if they have it. ”
That's right, Li Hao's crazy plan is to kill Cao Cao!
When he chose to enter Liu Bei's camp, Li Hao had this hazy idea in his heart, in Li Hao's opinion, Cao Cao is the biggest boss in this secret world, if he can kill Cao Cao, his reward will definitely be beyond imagination.
