There was an enemy in front of him, and there were chasing soldiers in the rear, Cheng Mingnai had the heart of death, and he stepped forward on a horse, but when he got closer, he found that the opponent's armor was not Cao Wei's soldiers and horses, but the soldiers of Jingzhou of Shu Han. Cheng Ming was really in a desperate situation, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "Cheng Ming, under the command of General Sima of Wancheng, asks to see Guo Huai, the general of the eastern part of the Han Dynasty. ”

When the sergeant heard Cheng Ming speak, he hurriedly flew in, and after a while, he saw a young general beating his horse out of the ranks, looking Cheng Ming up and down, and asked, "Is the general really a subordinate of Sima Zhen's army?" Sima Yi was under the rank of general of Zhennan in Wei, and in Shuhan, he was under the rank of general of the Zhenjun army, Cheng Ming naturally knew, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted and said: "A certain is ordered by General Sima to break through the siege and rescue, and I hope that the general will introduce Guo Zhendong." ”

The young general was Guo Tong, who was ordered by his father to take the cavalry of his headquarters to the north to explore the battle situation in Wancheng, but he didn't want to meet Cheng Ming outside, although he didn't know the truth of his words, but when he saw that there was only one person on the other side, he didn't care very much in his heart, so he said: "Since I am General Cheng, I should escort the general to see my father." Also ask the general to get on the horse. Cheng Ming listened to his words and knew that he was Guo Huai's son, so he was overjoyed, hurriedly turned over and got on the horse, and was about to walk with him, when he heard someone shouting loudly behind him: "Anti-thief Cheng Ming, where to go?" "But it's Cao Zhen's pursuers who are already in front of him.

Cao Zhen saw that the men and horses sent did not return for a long time, but he was afraid of losing, so he sent his brother Cao Zun to personally lead people to chase after him, and the two armies were in one place, with a total of 1,500 cavalry. Cao Zun saw that Cheng Ming had really entered the Shu Han army, and bullied Guo to command a small number of troops, so he opened his mouth to scold and urge the army to kill the generals from afar.

Cheng Ming saw Cao Zun, knowing that the department was the elite of the Wei army, and knew that Shu Han was not good at cavalry, so he told Guo Tongdao: "His army is strong, and it is a heavy task to ask for help, why don't the young generals temporarily retreat?" Guo Tong only has more than 300 horsemen on the left and right, and the number is far less than that of the Wei army, but he is young and competitive, and he has a lot of leisure time, and he has a rare opportunity to fight in battle, and he is unwilling to retreat, so Cheng Ming said: "The general can go first, and I will come later." Cheng Ming didn't want to say more, so he assigned several subordinates to leave in a cluster. Cheng Ming wanted to persuade again, but he had no chance to speak, and he also decided that rushing to Guo Huai's army for help was the most important thing, and he didn't want to fall into a bitter battle again, so he didn't say anything more and went away with everyone.

After Cheng Ming and the others left, Cao Zun's military horses gradually came to his eyes, Guo Tongnai swung his spear back, and his three hundred horsemen slowly retreated. Guo Tong personally walked at the end, but his left hand kept shaking the skin on the horse's back, and many horse nails rolled to the ground. The last line of Shu cavalry on the left and right all followed suit, and for a while, the avenue was densely packed with iron nails at four corners. These four-cornered iron nails, falling on the ground, are triangular bracings no matter what angle, and the other sharp horn is high and upward, which is indeed a good treasure for dealing with cavalry. Guo Huai knew that the elite of the Wei army were all elite cavalry from the north, so when Guo Tong led the troops out of the camp, he ordered him to bring more of this in case of emergency.

This horse nail is not very big, the Wei army in the distance is only the Shu Han army is small, timid retreat, is to chase more horses, wait until the front can see clearly, but for a while can not contain the war horse. Dozens of horsemen in front of them were caught in the nail formation, the horses were in pain, and they all ran in panic, and many sergeants were thrown under their horses. After falling off the horse, he was pierced into the body by those iron nails that had never been pierced, and he was killed on the spot in the vital places, and some of the injuries were elsewhere, and those who could not breathe for a while could not help but wail loudly and roll on the ground. The cavalry in the back was worried that they would be pierced by the horse nails again, and the second was also blocked by the comrades in front, so they tried to pull the reins and restrain the momentum of the war horses rushing forward, and the scene was very chaotic.

At this moment, Guo Tong had already divided his subordinates into three broadcasts, and dozens of horsemen on the front took out the crossbow weapons behind their backs and kept firing at Cao Jun. The remaining two teams spared the Zama nails in front and outflanked the Wei army on the left and right. The crossbow is the legacy of the genius Zhuge Kongming, and the arrows are quenched with the huge poison of the southern barbarians, a crossbow and ten arrows, facing the dense Cao Wei cavalry in front of them, the Shu Han sergeant almost does not need to aim, as long as he keeps loading the arrows and releasing the arrows. Three or two rounds of arrows rained down, and the Wei army had already killed and wounded hundreds of horsemen, and the formation became more and more chaotic, and many of them fell off their horses by squeezing each other.

Cao Zun had been fighting with his brother for many years, and seeing that the situation was unfavorable to him, he ordered his subordinates to withdraw temporarily. Seeing that the Shu army in front of them was powerful with crossbows, and listened to the order of the lord to retreat, they didn't care about the injured robes, and pulled out their horses together and left. The military horse retreated hundreds of paces, not within the range of the crossbow, Cao Zun wanted to repeat the whole army and fight again, but the Ben Thunder Cavalry led by Guo Tong had already killed the front and plunged directly into the chaotic Wei army's horse formation.

Although Guo Tong had the intention to establish meritorious deeds, he forgot that Cao Wei was the best cavalry, and although the Ben Lei Cavalry was personally selected and trained by Guo Huai, he did not have much actual combat experience after all. Even if he had a few points of opportunity, when Cao Zun had eased up, he would command the Wei army to form a formation to fight. The Wei army was far superior to Guo Tong's soldiers and horses, and although it was damaged, there were still about a thousand horsemen at the moment, and once it was hand-to-hand combat, the advantage was restored.

After a long battle, Guo Huai knew that he had made a serious mistake, and underestimated the Cao Wei cavalry, and there were only half of the three hundred cavalry left at the moment, although the Wei army also suffered casualties, but there were still seven or eight hundred cavalry, and the Benlei cavalry was surrounded under the core on the periphery, and there was a great desire to annihilate Guo Tong and others. At the beginning of the establishment of the Benlei Battalion, there were only 2,000 horsemen, and then they were added one after another, but now they are only 3,000 horses. Even if the previous attack on Fancheng only lost more than 200 horses, it also made Guo Huai feel so distressed that he didn't have a smile for several days, if he buried his subordinates with 300 horsemen in today's battle, Guo Tong really didn't have the face to go back to see his father. Immediately reluctantly ordered a retreat, hoping to go one by one.

Cao Zun was outside, and when he saw Guo Tong, he had the intention of retreating, but where was he willing to give up? He kept issuing orders to prevent the Shu army from retreating. Guo Tong led people to clash left and right in the formation, but the more his subordinates fought, the fewer they fought, and saw Cao Zun waving the command flag in the battle, his heart was even more angry, but he said left and right: "Today we are in danger, and we are just dead." However, the husband should be famous in life and move the world, and he will be powerful in death. Then the halberd pointed to Cao Zundao: "He is the general of the Wei State, even if we die, we should also take his life, so as not to disgrace our mission." Those who could still survive at this time were all fierce men in the thunder ride, and when they heard what Guo Tong said, they all responded loudly: "I am willing to fight to the death with the general." Guo Tong was a prancing horse and carrying a gun, and he should kill Cao Zun first, and the sergeants behind him all worked hard to move forward.

Cao Zun saw that Guo Tong had the intention of retreating, so he put most of the soldiers and horses behind the formation to block his way back, but he did not expect that Guo Tong did not retreat but advanced, and the Cao army in front was not many people, but the Shu army was full of courage, and rushed forward again and again, and arrived in front of Cao Zun in a moment. Cao Zun's left and right henchmen hurriedly stepped forward with shields, and because they saw Guo Tong and others menacing, they all persuaded him to retreat temporarily. Cao Zun knew very well that once he retreated, not only would the morale of the whole army drop, but also Guo Tong would open a gap in the siege, so he scolded: "The son is a general, how can I be afraid? "Bullying Guo Tong is still young, and he may not be able to have a very good ability, so he didn't retreat, and raised his knife to face forward.

When the two met, they didn't answer, so they fought together. Knives and guns come and go, and more than ten rounds of hand-to-hand exchanges in a moment, although Cao Zun's tone is not small, but the knife skills are really not as good as Guo Tong, and gradually feel difficult, and he regrets it in his heart, and wants to retreat, but he is entangled by Guo Tong's spear, and he can't help it. Guo Tong saw that the breakthrough could not be achieved, and he intended to find another back before he died, so that the more he fought, the more courageous he became, the spear in his hand danced all over the snowflakes, and the gun did not leave Cao Zun's vital point.

After three or two rounds, Guo Tongnai shouted: "Go." A shot hit Cao Zun's right arm, Cao Zun was in pain, couldn't hold the weapon, the big knife fell to the ground, and he was even more bluffed, and hurriedly fled in the saddle. Seeing that the main general was injured, the left and right guards also hurriedly followed suit, and let go of a small gap in the formation. Guo Tong was afraid that the fighter plane would be fleeting, and he successively provoked and killed several Wei soldiers, so that his subordinates broke through the siege first, and he personally broke the rear.

The Shu army had to have a gap, and they all rushed to flee for their lives, and the Wei army wanted to form a formation to block it again, but it was too late, and they could only watch Guo Huai and others relax their horses and leave. wanted to catch up, but was afraid of the benefits of his crossbow, so he could only reply to Cao Zun and ask him to decide. Cao Zun was injured, and seeing that Cheng Ming had been gone for a long time, he ordered the troops to be withdrawn and went back to Cao Zhen to return to his life.

Besides, Guo Tong escaped with his life, caught up with Cheng Ming in front, and dozens of horsemen and horses rushed all the way, looking at Guo Huai's camp. By the time he arrived at Yuanmen, it was already after the third watch in the night, Guo Huai did not see his beloved son return, nor did he sleep, and he and Ma Bing were waiting in the big tent. Seeing Guo Tong's bloodstained entry, he hurriedly got up and stepped forward and said, "Why are you so embarrassed?" Could it be that he met Cao Zhen's army and horses going south? What about the sergeants' casualties? Guo Tong then talked about the battle of the day and the sun, because of the merit of killing the enemy and wounding the general, his face was also a little complacent.

Unexpectedly, Guo Huai's face became more and more heavy when he heard this, and after Guo Tong finished speaking, he slapped the case and shouted: "Where is Guo Tong?" Guo Tong saw his father's color, and he didn't dare to agree arbitrarily, so he had to answer solemnly: "The end will be." Guo Huai asked again: "When General Ben sent you out of the camp, did you have an explanation?" Guo Tong's heart suddenly moved, and he remembered that when he left the camp, his father repeatedly warned him that when he met Cao Jun, he should not fall in love with war, but he was greedy for a moment of pleasure, so he forgot these words, and at this moment he had to bow his head and say: "The last general remembers." ”

Guo Huai snorted heavily and sneered: "Since you remember General Ben's words, why are you greedy for merit and war, causing damage to our army?" "The Benlei Camp was built by Guo Huai, and it was like a treasure, because when Guo Tong came out of the camp, he repeatedly told him that if he encountered Cao Jun's rangers, he could fight and capture a few people to get news; If you encounter a large group of people, you should avoid it in time to avoid unnecessary losses. Guo Huaiyan was so competitive when he was unified, so that only fifty or sixty of the three hundred soldiers and horses were left, can Guo Huaiyan not be angry? Guo Tong knew that he had made a big mistake, so he hurriedly pleaded on the ground and said: "The last general has violated the general's order, and I ask the general to punish him." ”

Guo Huai Nai said: "Guo Tong violated the general's orders, fought in vain, lost his troops, and lost the spirit of our army, and the military law should be beheaded." Then he said loudly: "Come on, push Guo Tong out of the tent and behead the public." The two guards outside the tent entered in response to the call, and they wanted to carry Guo Tong down. Guo Tong didn't want his father to treat him so badly, so he suddenly lost his opinion, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Ma Bing next to him.

Ma Bing didn't expect Guo Huai to give such an order, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Stop." General, please think twice, although the major general was at fault, he killed and injured Cao Jun several times more than himself, and injured Cao Zun, the general of Wei, and his merit was enough to withstand it. Guo Huai didn't listen, but said: "Although there are a few points of micro work, how can it be comparable?" How could the lives of more than 200 soldiers be so easily dismissed? My Ben Thunder warriors, all of them are warriors who choose one out of a thousand, and they should be one against ten, even if they kill Cao Zun's head, what does it mean? Without waiting for Ma Bing to speak again, he continued: "His crime should be beheaded, and he must say it again." He ordered his subordinates to take Guo Tong down.
