Chapter 89: Encountering an ambush, Lao Cao was furious

"Hahaha, this time we have to take a good look at the prime minister." Xiahou Ba looked at the other side of the river, and the spear in his hand was a little tighter.

Then he glanced at the soldiers behind him, running day and night for two consecutive days, all dusty and simple, and slightly tired.

"Alright, you guys rest in place."

The soldiers were overjoyed when they heard that they could rest.

However, as soon as the butt sat on the ground, Cao Pi's voice sounded again.

"Uncle Xiahouba, why don't we cross this river and camp and rest, so that we can send scouts to the front line to inquire about information."

"I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to cross the river rashly." After all, Xiahouba is an experienced veteran on the battlefield.

Looking at the river in front of meandering, the surrounding woods are also luxuriant.

It's definitely a good place to set up an ambush, and if you venture forward, you can get in trouble if there's an ambush.

The most important thing is that the soldiers are tired soldiers now.

"Don't worry, uncle, I am also familiar with military books, so I naturally know that this place is an excellent place for ambushes, but don't forget." Speaking of this, Cao Pi suddenly paused, looked at the river in front of him, and smiled confidently.

"Don't forget, the current Yuan Shu is beaten by Sun Ce, and it is difficult to protect himself, where is the force to ambush us!"

Well???

When Xia Houdun next to him heard this, he patted his head, which seemed to make some sense.

This Shouchun City is about to fall, where are the troops to come to this mountain and river to ambush them.

"Hahaha, it's still Pi'er's thoughtfulness, I forgot." After saying this, Xiahoudun turned his head and said again to the soldiers behind him.

"And they all arose, and went on, and when they had crossed the river, they encamped and rested."

The men and horses could only drag their tired posture forward again.

As for Guo Jia's advice before the trip, he had already forgotten all of them.

Ding Ding Dong!

There was a sound of raft making.

After an hour, the raft for crossing the river was finally completed.

Here's how to prepare to cross the river in three steps.

"I heard that Yuan Shu has a jade seal in his hand, let's go this time and find this thing before Cao Xiu." Xiahou Ba saw that the first wave of centaurs had crossed the river to the middle.

found that no one had ambushed him, and his heart was completely down.

"Don't worry, it's ...... then"

However, in the next second before Cao Pi finished speaking.

In the middle of the river, a strange sound was heard.

"Why is this raft shaking?"

"No, there's someone down there!!"

"Ahh There are ambushes, there are ambushes!! ”

The rafts in the middle of the river fell one after another, and not only soldiers fell into the water.

The soldiers on the shore also immediately noticed that something was wrong.

Just when everyone wanted to find a way to go over and help.

In the next second, the woods on both sides of the road also made a swishing sound.

Then I saw an overwhelming array of feather arrows flying.

"Not good, there is an enemy attack !!"

Cao Pi, who was still full of joy, was completely dumbfounded.

Xiahoudun next to him was also dumbfounded, and then remembered that the military advisor had repeatedly told him before leaving, be careful of ambushes in the waters, and be sure to move forward cautiously.

"Confused! You! Xiahoudun looked at Cao Pi, who was stupid next to him, and then slapped his thigh with regret.

"What are you doing! Hurry back and retreat! ”

Xiahoudun roared angrily to pull Cao Pi back to reality.

With a desperate escape.

The sounds of fighting and wailing behind him became quieter and quieter.

I don't know how long I ran, until I vaguely saw the banner of Cao Jun, and I didn't take a break.

Xiahoudun glanced at the people and horses behind him.

Of the original 20,000 troops, there are only nearly 100 left.

My heart was dripping blood.

These are all elite soldiers of Qingzhou soldiers!

Then he looked at the helmet he had just fled in embarrassment.

Xiahoudun was again ashamed and angry.

"I've told you kid a long time ago, it's easy to ambush in front of you, and you kid doesn't believe it."

At this time, Cao Pi was also disheveled, and he had long lost his previous spirit.

Fang Cai's ambush made him feel the cruelty of war for the first time.

……

The news of Xiahouba's attack and defeat soon spread to Xu Du.

Prime Minister's house.

Lao Cao looked at the news from the scout just now.

I almost didn't come up in one breath.

The entire 20,000 elite soldiers of Qingzhou were almost wiped out.

And the address of the ambush is still the river basin he has repeatedly warned.

"Bastard, I'm going to kill these two idiots." Lao Cao was so angry that he smashed the bamboo slip to the ground, and immediately pulled out the Qingyu Sword and wanted to split the two alive.

"Prime Minister, stop your anger! The prime minister is angry! ”

"Yes, my lord, the two armies are facing each other, so let's settle the account when we come back!" Guo Jia also hurriedly persuaded.

"Alas!" Cheng Yu could only sigh slightly and shake his head when he listened to the battle report just now.

They are also the sons of the lord, why is there such a big gap between this person and people?

Cao Yu's rebellion against the sky and Cao Pi's recklessness this time are simply a world of difference.

Cheng Yu, who was shocked by Cao Yu continuously, couldn't help but think that if it was Cao Yu, how would he fight this battle?

But then again, this kid is so good, he shouldn't have any research on military affairs.

Well! There is absolutely no further education.

Otherwise, they are all decathlon.

Jia Yu next to him shook his head secretly, and couldn't help but label Cao Pi as having no big plans in his heart.

These days, when he came to Lao Cao's tent, he rarely spoke or expressed his opinions.

It's a careful look at everyone, for now.

From the current point of view, the only thing that makes him a little incomprehensible is Cao Yu.

"Okay, the responsibility for this matter lies with Cao Pi, and he will be severely punished when he comes back." Lao Cao took a deep breath, barely getting dizzy.

However, when he remembered that 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers had died in such an unknown way, Lao Cao felt a pain in his flesh.

If the tiger and leopard cavalry is the pyramid spire of his cavalry.

Then the Qingzhou soldiers can be regarded as the spires of his infantry.

There were only 50,000 people in total, but I didn't expect that half of them would be lost.

The most important thing is that he hasn't even touched Yuan Shu's hair yet.

"Lord, General Xiahoudun's big defeat this time, Weichen is worried that they will make big mistakes again in a hurry, whether to recall them." At this time, Guo Jia frowned and said with some concern.

But before Lao Cao could speak, Xun Yu spoke.

"Prime Minister, I don't think so, this crusade against Shouchun is a time to show our strength, we must not show decadent people, otherwise I am afraid that it will ......"

After saying this, Xun Yu still glanced at Jia Yu with deep meaning.

Jia Yu's face twitched slightly, and he coughed slightly before putting his hand to his mouth.

This can't be explained without explanation, my family has come to Xudu.

"Ahem, ahem! Lord, I also think that what Xun Lingjun said is reasonable, this move is to shake the mountain and knock the tiger, and it is Liu Biao of Jingzhou next door who is shocked. ”

"Hmmm! Wenhe has a heart. Lao Cao nodded, and knew that this retreat would definitely not be able to retreat, but it would not be a defeat.

If there is another defeat, everyone will probably laugh at him for the incompetence of Cao Cao's army.

Not even to mention Anwai, I'm afraid that the internal troubles that have just been suppressed will also start to cause chaos.

Just when discussing how to deal with Yuan Shu's troops.

It was the scouts outside hurrying again.

Covered in blood, he held a bamboo slip full of dirt and blood in his hand.

"Report !! Prime minister!!! ”

Seeing this, everyone had a vague bad premonition in their hearts.

Then the scout's voice rang out again.

"General Xiahoudun was defeated again, and more than half of the remaining 20,000 troops were killed and wounded."

Thundered!!!

As soon as this news came out, Lao Cao was completely unstable.

It's like a castle tower collapse.

There are 50,000 troops, and now even Shouchun has not yet arrived.

has already lost 40,000, which is called how he accepts.

Especially after listening to the cause and effect of the scout, he was so angry that he split the table in half.

"Idiot! Idiot! I'm going to cut off Xiahoudun's head. ”

"I've taken care of everything when I go out, don't cross the river urgently!"

Hearing that the reason for Xiahou's defeat was exactly the same as the reason for Xiahou Ba before.

It's the reason why people have already been ambushed once, and they won't ambush a second time.

So he rushed straight in, but was ambushed by the enemy on the water.

The landlubber Cao army still has combat effectiveness on the water.

Directly fell into the water and lost more than half of it.

And Xun Yuren next to him was also stupid.

These two brothers are really brothers.

Originally, I wanted to help the two of them intercede, but this ......

And Guo Jia was also shocked.

Although Xiahoudun is not a winning general, he is also a veteran of the battlefield.

The other party can make the two of them eat deflated continuously, and he must be a genius.

"Do you know who is leading the army?"

"The villain saw that there was a chronicle on the other party's flag."

Chronicles?

"Could it be Ji Ling?" Guo Jia's pupils suddenly shook, and then he turned to Cao Cao.
