Chapter Seventy-Two: Cao Ren's Death
Shen Chen made a full set of plans for Cao Jun.
In fact, he didn't know which cities Cao's army had attacked when they attacked Nanyang in history.
But a little analysis should make it clear that Huyang will definitely be attacked.
If Cao Cao wanted to attack Wancheng and eliminate Zhang Xiu, whether Zhang Xiutou surrendered or not, he had to divide his troops to intercept Liu Biao's reinforcements.
And Huyang, Dengxian, Fancheng, and Caiyang are the cities that Liu Biao arranged to be heavily guarded.
Unless Cao Cao had no military ability and just watched Liu Biao's army gather to attack him, he would definitely strike first and push back the reinforcements.
So after considering this, the next thing is much easier, since you think that Huyang will be attacked, you have to think about how the other party will attack?
If the Cao army does not come to attack Huangmen Pavilion, he will go directly to Huyang City. That is also very convenient, "Sun Tzu Seeks to Attack" said: "Therefore, the method of using soldiers, ten will surround it, and five will attack it." ”
Siege battles are ten times the siege, and five times the attack. Unless Cao's army dispatched 50,000 troops, Ganning's 5,000 troops would be more than enough to defend Huyang.
When the Cao army attacked Huyang for a long time and suffered heavy casualties, 1,500 people from Huangmen Pavilion poured into the nest, plus 5,000 men and horses from Ganning, and the inside and outside should be combined, and the Cao army will be able to be defeated.
And if Cao Jun loses his mind and thinks that it is easy to set foot on the Yellow Gate Pavilion, then the cage and the tunnel will become Cao Jun's nightmare and make them fall into the quagmire.
And in order to prevent Cao Jun from detecting it too early, Gan Ning's soldiers and horses could not move lightly, and it was not until it was determined that Cao Jun had entered the valley that Shen Chen ordered the wolf smoke to be released and sent a signal to Gan Ning to let him come.
The battle had been going on for nearly an hour, and Gan Ning's army had already been put in order, and when they saw the signal, they immediately rushed over, and they happened to appear at a critical moment, blocking Cao Ren's retreat.
Seeing that the enemy was fighting in the Huangmen Pavilion, Gan Ning said loudly: "Kill, don't let go of a Cao army!" ”
"Kill!"
"Rush Rush!"
"Killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions is today."
The soldiers roared and slaughtered.
They actually came running, so the current formation is - no formation.
In ancient times, the battle formation on the battlefield was very important, the two armies were facing each other, and whoever had the formation took advantage, so there would be all kinds of formations and that kind of formation.
For example, Zhang Liaowei shook Xiaoyaojin, 800 dead soldiers broke the enemy with an awl formation, and under the leadership of Zhang Liao, they broke through the blockade like an awl, killed Sun Quan, and almost captured Sun 100,000 alive.
But the Gan Ning army did not have a formation, and neither did the Cao army. Moreover, they had just come down from the mountain, and there were few of them intact, and there were many wounded soldiers.
Therefore, when I suddenly saw a large number of new troops of the enemy coming, they were all scattered, and the two forces were trembling, and they almost wanted to escape.
Only Cao Ren knew that he had no way out.
As mentioned before, the back mountain is actually contained in the manor of the Yellow Gate Pavilion, surrounded by walls on all sides, enclosing the mountain, and the tunnel has two exits connected to the inside of the wall, and the rest of the exits are connected to the outside of the wall.
After coming down from the back mountain, a large number of Huangmenting soldiers poured out from the exits on the left and right, blocking the roads on their left and right, and Gan Ning appeared in front of the manor.
In this way, together with the mountains behind them, they were outflanked on all sides. Unless they can fight their way out, they will not be able to escape, and there is no way back.
Seeing this, Cao Ren roared angrily: "Fight to the death, fight to the death, fight to the death!" ”
The guards around him also shouted: "Fight to the death, fight to the death, fight to the death!" ”
In the next second, Gan Ning collided with them.
He rode on horseback and rushed to the first.
The war horse galloped to the front of the formation, knocked over a soldier headlong, and then the steel knife in his hand rose and fell, and with a snort, the two heads flew up at the same time.
He actually hacked two soldiers to death with a single sword. Then he swung his broadsword left and right, slashed back and forth, picked out several stabbing spears, and easily cut down two soldiers who were about to sneak up on his horses to the ground.
"Bajun Ganning is here, those who surrender will not die!"
Gan Ning rode his horse and shouted.
"Those who surrender are not to die!"
The tsunami-like sound of the mountains behind him struck, overpowering the "battle to the death" that Cao Ren bravely shouted just now.
Then the Gan Ning army crashed into the Cao army formation like a rolling torrent.
"Wait for me to kill the man."
When Cao Ren saw the enemy general killing, he knew that the person should be Gan Ning, so he immediately found a war horse, jumped up, and killed Gan Ning.
Gan Ning was alone, staring at each other, wantonly slashing and killing in the crowd, killing the few military hearts of Cao's army to the cold.
However, he suddenly felt the sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and when he looked up again, a sharp knife came straight at his face.
At the critical moment, Gan Ning's waist suddenly exerted force, and the whole person fell down instantly, which was able to dodge this blow, and at the same time, his waist was firmly suspended in the air.
But Cao Ren was not slow, and when he found that the enemy had dodged this stab, he immediately swung his knife and slashed, still aiming at Gan Ning's face.
Because after Gan Ning became a captain, he belonged to the middle and senior generals, with full body armor and a helmet on his head, only his face and neck were active.
"Dang!"
A violent metal friction sound sounded, and Gan Ning blocked it with a horizontal knife.
Cao Ren changed his move again and drew his knife and stabbed obliquely.
Gan Ning was not to be outdone, and began to fight back while swinging his knife to block.
The two of you went back and forth, and they fought for more than 20 rounds in an instant, but they were not up or down.
In later generations, many people thought that Cao Ren was a commander-in-chief general, who was better at marching and arranging troops, and his force was weaker.
In fact, his force is not bad.
Later, he killed Xu Sheng and Jiang Qin alone, fought with Zhou Tai for dozens of rounds, fought with Guan Ping, and was killed by Guan Ping, who was eager to save his father.
You must know that Guan Ping can draw with Pang De, which is a relatively high level among first-class generals, with a force value of about 93, and Cao Ren can fight back and forth with Guan Ping, which is not too bad.
And judging from his record of defeating Xu Sheng and Jiang Qin and drawing with Zhou Tai, he should be a goalkeeper who is a first-class general, and his force value is about 90.
And Gan Ning's force value is generally against Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao also belongs to the peak of first-class generals, 94 points of force value, almost 1 point can touch the threshold of super first-class generals, so Gan Ning's strength should be about the same as him, at most 1 point worse than him.
It's almost 93 points to 90 points, and it can't be distinguished in a short period of time, but after a long time, Cao Ren feels struggling.
After fifty rounds, Gan Ning suddenly found an opportunity and slashed Cao Ren's waist with a knife.
Cao Ren only felt a sharp pain coming from his waist, and the armor on his body clanged, although it blocked the blade and cut him off, but it couldn't stop the terrifying force.
With a knife down, Cao Ren's entire body flew out, fell off the horse, and smashed into the pile of corpses on the side.
"The general is dead, the general is dead."
The soldiers of Cao Jun had no desire to fight, and when they saw this scene, they thought that Cao Ren was dead, and they were in chaos.
In the midst of the chaos, Cao Ren struggled to get up, and was about to shout that he was not dead, but in the next second, several big men pounced, pushed him to the ground, and tied him firmly.
"You're the one who has one ear?"
Gan Ning also had a reed grass in his mouth, which was pulled on the way to come before, and he put it in his arms when he was fighting just now, and now he took it out and put it in his mouth, and looked at Cao Ren and sneered: "It's ugly to have no ears!" ”
"Let go of me!"
Cao Ren's eyes were cracked, and his eyes were filled with blood.
Because he saw that after he was knocked off his horse, the surrounding Cao soldiers knelt down and surrendered, even Chun Yudao and Zhai Yuan knelt on the ground, and Gan Ning's army had already controlled the situation, which made him angry to the extreme.
"Defeated, let you go? What qualifications do you have for me to let you go? Is it just your ugly ear? ”
Gan Ning mocked, he had long heard that it was Cao Jun who slaughtered Xuzhou, and also killed many of Deng Hong and Shen Chen's clansmen, forcing them to move to Nanyang, and Cao Ren was one of the executioners.
Today, Gan Ning was naturally very happy to be able to help his friends Deng Hong and Shen Chen take revenge.
"Uncle Xingba, thank you."
The surrounding crowd slowly dispersed, and Shen Chen came out with a ring-headed steel knife produced by Huangmen Pavilion in his hand.
The steel knife was about a meter long, and his now eleven-year-old body looked a little incongruous in his hand, but he still held it seriously, stood in front of Cao Ren, and looked down at him who was tied up on the ground.
"Shen Chen! How dare you kill me? ”
Cao Ren grinned, his face stained with the blood of the corpse on the ground, staining his white teeth red.
Shen Chen wondered, "Why don't I dare to kill you!" ”
"If you dare to kill me, my eldest brother will lead 100,000 elite soldiers to level the Huangmen Pavilion."
Cao Ren roared angrily.
"Oh."
Shen Chen nodded, and then ......
He raised the steel knife in his hand and aimed at the back of Cao Ren's skull.
"I'm waiting for him in Nanyang."
Before Cao Ren died, Shen Chen said.
And then.
The steel knife slammed down.
Poof!
The feeling of getting into the flesh is amazing.
It's like chopping a pork chop on a cutting board.
The sharp steel knife barely had any obstacles and passed through Cao Ren's neck.
His head rolled on the ground a few times, his eyes widened angrily, and he didn't understand why Shen Chen dared to kill him until he died.
Isn't he afraid that the eldest brother will take tens of thousands of horses and set foot on the entire Huangmen Pavilion?
However, seconds later, Cao Ren was plunged into darkness.
The surrounding Cao Jun's face was like ashes.
Only Shen Chen looked at this head indifferently.
It was the second time in his life that he had killed someone.
But by no means the last!
Traveling to this troubled era, since Xuzhou, he finally understood that those low-level ordinary people are nothing.
In the eyes of these great families, the common people are just born with mustard and cattle and horses.
No wonder Zhang Jiao wanted to set off the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
It is no wonder that since the end of the Han Dynasty, the rebels have been like carp crossing the river.
Although subsequent dynasties have portrayed these rebels as the evil side.
But the nobles of the court.
Why don't you think about it?
If everyone had food, drink, and clothes to wear, who would rebel?
It is precisely because you regard human life as a mustard and the people at the bottom as pigs and dogs that they will rise up in anger and overthrow your rule.
The steel knife in Shen Chen's hand was stained with blood, and his gaze passed through the sky.
Someday.
He wants to use the knife in his hand to destroy this cannibalistic world!
