Chapter 47: Cao Cao is overjoyed
Xu He turned his head to look.
I saw a military general wearing silver armor and a majestic weapon, holding a spear, rushing towards him.
But all the yellow turban soldiers who stood in front of him were mercilessly picked up.
It's Zhao Yun!
Seeing that the other party was so brave, Xu He's heart sank, and he hurriedly shouted,
"Stop him for me!"
However, before the pro-soldiers on the left and right sides could meet him, Zhao Yun had already killed him closely.
The spear in his hand flew up and down, killed several of his own soldiers again, and then stabbed at Xu He.
Xu He was so frightened that he almost lost his soul, barely avoided this shot, and ran outside the camp in a hurry.
But how could Zhao Yun let him go so easily?
He took a few steps forward and stabbed Xu He in the back of the heart with a shot.
Fortunately, with the protection of armor, Xu He was not stabbed to death by a single shot.
But Rao is like this, and the huge force also makes him squirt a mouthful of blood, and the whole person is planted forward!
"General!"
"General!"
Seeing Xu He fall to the ground, the generals of the Yellow Turban Army were stunned and hurriedly rushed forward.
The pro-soldiers on the left and right sides were afraid that Zhao Yun would step forward to mend the knife, but they also stepped forward to block it regardless of their bodies.
"Removal ......"
Xu He commanded with difficulty.
His generals hurriedly helped him up and fled with him on his hands.
Although Zhao Yun had the intention to pursue, Xu He's personal soldiers were all desperate, and they were completely delaying with their lives.
When he finished dealing with most of his personal soldiers, he looked up, but Xu He was no longer visible.
……
It wasn't until the sun rose that the battle ended.
The camp of the Yellow Turban Army was in ruins, and Cao Jun cleaned up the battlefield while extinguishing the remaining fires.
Yang Ling led a team of soldiers and walked slowly on the battlefield.
"Big brother!"
But it was Zhao Yun who came over in a hurry.
"Zilong, seeing that you are so happy, this battle must be a big result, right?"
Yang Ling asked with a smile.
"Big brother is really like a god."
Zhao Yun couldn't hide the joy on his face, and laughed,
"The Yellow Turbans suffered nearly 5,000 casualties and captured more than 1,000 others. The enemy general Xu He fled after being seriously wounded by me, and ordered seven generals and generals to be killed, and countless supplies were captured! ”
With 3,000 men and horses against 30,000 Yellow Turban elites, such a result is not brilliant.
It's no wonder that Zhao Yun is so excited.
"Zilong, you did a good job."
Yang Ling nodded in praise.
But Zhao Yun shook his head and said seriously,
"This big victory is all due to the big brother, you are well commanded."
He was right.
It was Yang Ling's use of guerrilla tactics that made the Yellow Turban Army exhausted.
The first time he sent people to attack the camp, it was just to create a false impression and paralyze Xu He and his subordinates.
And finally in the second attack on the camp, it dealt a heavy blow.
That's where we have today's victory!
"Hehe, Zilong, hurry up and send someone to report to the rear to report to the state pastor."
Yang Ling commanded with a smile.
"Whoa."
Zhao Yun took the order and left.
……
Rear Cao army camp.
Cao Cao stared at the map on the table, his face slightly solemn.
Yesterday, Yang Ling had sent someone to send news that there were 30,000 elites of the Yellow Turban Army, led by Xu He, the general of the Yellow Turban Army, blocking their way north.
He looked at Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai under the tent,
"Fengxiao, Zhicai, do you think we want to support General Zhao?"
Guo Jia arched his hand unhurriedly,
"Back to the lord, my subordinates don't think it's necessary. General Zilong has always been cautious, as long as he strictly follows the guerrilla tactics of the lord, even if he cannot defeat the Yellow Turban Army, there will be no loss. ”
Cao Cao's expression eased at this time.
That's right, too.
After all, in Zhao Yun's army, there is also Yang Ling, a great power.
"But if we can't defeat Xu He's men, how can we continue to go north?"
Cao Cao asked again.
His question made Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai fall into deep thought.
According to the original plan, the Yellow Turban Army should send a large army to meet the battle after knowing that Cao Cao led his men and horses north.
Subsequently, Cao Cao used guerrilla tactics to drag down the Yellow Turban Army, and then fought a decisive battle with the main force.
But he never expected that the Yellow Turban Army would avoid fighting.
Qu Shuai Zhang Rao only sent Xu He to lead 30,000 horses to block Cao's army.
And he led most of the Yellow Turban Army, which continued to wreak havoc in the north of Yanzhou, and saw that he was about to enter the territory of Dongjun.
How does this not bother Cao Cao?
"According to our subordinates, we should defeat Xu He's men and horses first, force the Yellow Turban Army to fight with us, and then implement guerrilla tactics."
Guo Jia proposed.
"You have a point."
Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then said,
"In that case, let's move north, join General Zhao Yun, and jointly meet the Yellow Turban Army. Pass my orders......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard footsteps.
Immediately followed by Dian Wei, who was out of breath, he broke into the camp tent,
"Lord, just ...... Just ...... General Zilong...... Send...... Send someone to send the news......"
Seeing Dian Wei in such a hurry, Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai's hearts sank.
Could it be that Zhao Yun was defeated?
"Tell me slowly, what's wrong with General Zilong?!"
Cao Cao said in a deep voice.
Dian Wei took a deep breath, and after his breath stabilized, he laughed and said,
"Zilong, he defeated the Yellow Turban Army!"
"What?"
Cao Cao and the three of them were stunned.
After Dian Wei recounted the news of the scouts in its original form, Cao Cao came back to his senses.
He slapped his hands excitedly and laughed happily,
"First...... General Zilong really lived up to my expectations! ”
Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.
They didn't know that Yang Ling, the master behind them, was in Zhao Yun's army.
It's just that when Zhao Yun used guerrilla warfare methods, he easily defeated Xu He.
I didn't expect this guerrilla tactic to be so powerful!
Guo Jia cleaned up his mood and groaned,
"Since General Zilong defeated the enemy general Xu He, then presumably Zhang Rao, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, will not be able to sit still."
"Yes, he will definitely lead a large army south to deal with us."
Xi Zhicai nodded.
Cao Cao came back to his senses from joy and said with a smile,
"In that case, let's go north and join General Zhao!"
……
The main force of Cao's army quickly moved and joined Zhao Yun's men and horses.
Inside the tent.
Cao Cao looked at Yang Ling and Zhao Yun standing in the hall, and praised with a smile,
"Winning this battle, thanks to Mr. Cleverness, General He Zilong bravely killed the enemy!"
"The state pastor has a good reputation."
Yang Ling waved his hand disappreciatively.
With his ingenuity, it is not easy to clean up the small Yellow Turban Army.
Cao Cao exchanged pleasantries with Yang Ling and Zhao Yun, and then turned the topic back to the war.
"By the way, sir, just after the spies reported back and Xu He fled back, the troops of the Yellow Turban Army began to act."
"Their vanguard has already moved south, less than a hundred miles away from us."
