Chapter 35: Homecoming
This battle almost didn't cost Zhao Yun and them any effort, and after Li Dian's death, Cao Jun, who was already in a state of collapse, had no combat effectiveness at all when Li Dian was dead.
Every Cao Jun had a relieved expression at this time, and many people knelt down and dropped their weapons, and then they just lay on the ground and fell asleep.
He didn't care where his future fate was going.
Seeing the tragic situation of the Wei army, Zhao Yun couldn't help but be a little afraid, fortunately his junior brother was from his side, if it was from the enemy's side, now this tragic situation is his own.
"Senior brother, you are really ruthless this time. ”
"Where, where. Li Hao was a little embarrassed by what Zhao Yun said, but when he saw the chaotic Cao soldiers lying on the ground, he was also a little proud.
Although this is also copied, but at least now it is used by yourself.
And when counting the loot, Li Hao was even more surprised.
In this big battalion, the grain, grass and baggage that Cao Cao's 100,000 army needed for the next three months were loaded with Li Hao at the beginning, but Li Hao didn't expect that a forward team would bring so much grain, grass and baggage.
This is simply a complete disregard for Liu Beijun.
But now Li Hao is very surprised, he just hates how not to look down on a little, only three months of grain and baggage.
If Zhao Yun knew what Li Hao thought, I am afraid that he would directly reward Li Hao with a few blank eyes.
Anyway, now these grains, grasses and baggage are cheap Li Hao.
With these grains, grasses and baggage, Li Hao was more confident that he would delay Cao Cao's army for a month.
Li Hao let the captured Cao Jun sleep well, and then released the supply of grain and grass, so that all the captured Cao Jun had a full meal.
Cao Jun, who had woken up and was worried about his future fate, suddenly became grateful to Li Hao, and they now looked at Li Hao's gaze like a thousand light horsemen looked at Li Hao.
After all, how did Li Hao break Li Dian's camp, and as enemies, they felt it more deeply.
The army worships the strong, and now the strong man not only does not insult them, but also makes them eat and sleep well, and this treatment makes these soldiers grateful to Li Hao.
Zhao Yun's biggest headache was the problem of so many captives, but Li Hao solved it quietly.
And looking at the expressions of these soldiers now, Li Hao just asked these soldiers to fight to the death for Li Hao, I'm afraid they are all willing.
"Senior brother, is it the reincarnation of Sun Wuwu Saint? It seems that he was born for the military array!"
Zhao Yun was not jealous of Li Hao's excellence at all, but felt very proud.
It's just that I don't know if Zhao Yun knew, in fact, what Li Hao is doing now is what Zhao Yun learned, I don't know how he would feel......
"Senior brother, what should we do next?" Zhao Yun is now convinced by Li Hao, and now that he has broken through Li Dian's camp, what should he do next, he is still willing to listen to Li Hao.
"Next, we will go to capture Lingling, and then use Lingling as the base point to be a nail, dragging Cao Jun's footsteps. ”
"How can this work? Although Lingling is only a third-class city, the city defense is already close to the city of the capital of a continent, and once we are fixed in one place, doesn't it give the Cao army a chance to besiege us?"
"Senior brother, what you said is very right, but now the situation has changed, seeing that this Cao army has directly put so much grain, grass and baggage directly in the forward team, this Cao army is now a proud soldier, I expect that the guards of Lingling should not be much. We still have a chance to lay down Lingling. ”
"Senior brother, but except for the north gate, Lingling's other places are mountains, if you want to attack, you can only attack from the north gate, so our losses will be too great, and it will also be a waste of time. ”
"Senior brother, I have just asked the captives of the Wei army, and the one who guards Lingling is Cao Thief's favorite nephew, Cao Zhen, this person's heart is higher than the sky, but he can only look at the master and talk on paper. When the time comes, I will take a small number of brothers to call the battle, and this Cao Zhen expects that he will definitely come out to fight with me. ”
Li Hao paused, and then said, "When the time comes, Senior Brother will take more than 10,000 people to ambush on both sides, as long as I wait until I pick out Cao Zhen, Senior Brother will immediately cover it up, and when Cao Jun is caught off guard, we should be able to directly capture Lingling." ”
"Hmm...... Clever plan, it's just junior brother, why are you so familiar with the people on Cao Jun's side, and you are also very familiar with this Li Dian. ”
"Ahh......h
Li Hao was covered in cold sweat, and it was naturally impossible for him to tell Zhao Yun that he had brushed the Romance of the Three Kingdoms more than a dozen times, and almost all the characters in it could be memorized backwards, so it was perfunctory.
Zhao Yun didn't dig deeper, since he felt that Li Hao's idea was good, he recognized Li Hao's strategy.
Li Hao knew that time was the most tense now, and the news of Li Dian's camp being broken would soon reach Cao Cao's ears, and they must now be able to take down Lingling before Cao Zhen knew the news here.
After reorganizing at noon, he immediately marched in a hurry and marched towards Lingling......
"Report ...... The spies at the front sent information that General Li Dian's camp was broken, the whole army was annihilated, and General Li Dian died in battle!"
"What?!"
Cao Cao dropped the wooden tablet in his hand and stood up with a shocked face.
According to the detailed work sent out by Cao Cao, Liu Bei now has an army of only 10,000 when he is full, even if Liu Bei comes out, as long as Li Dian can defend the camp, there will be no problem.
But now the 20,000 troops under Li Dian and the 500 tiger and leopard cavalry have all been wiped out?
Cao Cao felt a pain in his flesh, this tiger and leopard ride is Cao Cao's core combat power, and until now it is only five thousand horses.
This expedition to Jiangnan, he brought 2,500 horsemen, and now he has lost one-fifth of it at once, and it is no wonder that Cao Cao felt pain in his flesh.
What's more, Li Dian's vanguard army was completely annihilated, and all the grain and grass were gone, which was a fatal blow to Cao Cao's army's marching plan.
Now Cao Cao's troops only have enough food, grass and baggage for two months.
The rest needs to be transferred from the north, and it is too difficult to mobilize grain and grass locally in Jingzhou.
This gave Liu Bei time to breathe.
"Do you know who did it?"
"This ...... The spies didn't know that when the spies saw General Li Dian's promise, they couldn't see any traces of the march. ”
"Okay, I know, let's go down......" Cao Cao closed his eyes, waved his hand, and motioned for his soldiers to go down.
"What a headache, who the hell is it?"
