"Report! Commander Liao, there is a general's urgent letter! ”

In the morning, in Lu'an County, a scout horse rushed into the conference hall with a letter and came to Liao Hua, Yu Ban and Chen Lan were also there.

"I'll see!"

Liao Hua opened the letter and read it, and handed it to Yu Ban and Chen Lan, and the letter ordered the three of them to form an army and immediately attack the Lujiang army outside the city, and Langya cavalry would arrive later.

The three of them did not hesitate and immediately put on their clothes.

"Drum and gather! All the army is attacking! ”

"The general has an order, and the whole army will attack!"

Knock knock~

The four cowhide war drums on the city tower were beaten loudly, and the three gates of Lu'an City were opened, Yu Ban led 4,000 infantry from the south gate, Chen Lan led 3,000 infantry from the east gate, and Liao Hua led 1,000 cavalry from the west gate.

The three armies came out together and killed the Lujiang army outside the city.

Outside the city, Qiao Rui heard the movement, also beat the war drums, and ordered the whole army to attack.

After a few days of offensive and defensive battles, he still had more than 15,000 men under his command, twice the number of Cao's troops in the city.

In normal times, he sent people to scold Yu Ban under the city, and tried every means to lure Yu Ban out of the city to fight, but Cao Jun always cowered in the city and did not come out.

Today, Cao Jun took the initiative to go out of the city to fight, Qiao Rui secretly thought, could it be that the Battle of Shouchun has a result? It seems to be a good result, if Cao's army defeats Yuan's army in Shouchun, Yu Ban doesn't have to be in such a hurry to get out of the city.

"Someone! The whole army attacked, and it was necessary to leave Cao's army outside the city. ”

Qiao Rui turned on his horse and yelled.

"Yes, General!"

Woo woo ~ The gate of the Lujiang army is wide open, and Qiao Rui sits in the middle, commanding more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to kill the Cao army, and it is necessary to destroy all the Cao army and recover Lu'an and Lujiang.

"Report !!"

Suddenly, there was a terrible shout in the Lujiang army, and a spy of the Yuan army took the report and quickly rushed to the front of the Chinese army.

"General Baoqiao, Zhou Junshi sent a message, be careful of Langya's sneak attack! Langya cavalry wants to sneak attack the Lujiang army. ”

"Langya ride? Where? ”

Qiao Rui frowned.

Boom rumble~

Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves on the flank of the Lujiang army, which was vigorous, and the ground trembled, even if it was a battlefield of tens of thousands of people, it could not hide such an amazing movement.

Qiao Rui turned his head to look, and saw more than a hundred knights wearing iron armor, iron masks, and armored war horses, rushing over from the left military formation.

"Kill !!"

The leading knight, wielding a long, thick iron spear, rampaged through the crowd, like a colossus, and the generals flew all over the sky.

The army formation of more than 2,000 people was slaughtered by this sudden cavalry in less than a moment.

"It's Langya riding! Be careful! Swing the spear array! ”

Qiao Rui roared.

It's a pity that the military order was too slow, Cao Xin and Langya rode too fast, and the Lujiang army did not prepare the antler array and the giant shield array, and in less than a moment, Cao Xin took the Langya cavalry into the Chinese army.

"Kill!!"

Qiao Rui brandished a halberd and led hundreds of cavalry to meet the Langya cavalry, but before it was a tea time, Qiao Rui's light cavalry was killed and turned over.

Bang bang~

In only three rounds, Qiao Rui was also shot down by Cao Xin, lying on the ground and humming.

"Bridge!"

Cao Xin held the big iron spear and held the neck of the bridge,

"Ben will ask you again, do you have two daughters at home?"

Last time outside Linhu City, he asked once, but Qiao Rui fled without answering.

"Cao thief! Soldiers can be killed, but they can't be humiliated, and I won't say anything if you kill me! ”

Qiao Rui stiffly scolded.

"Okay, I'll fulfill you!"

Cao Xin waved his gun and asked for the account.

"Wait! My dad has two daughters and I have two younger sisters. ”

A young general rushed over and shouted.

"Oh?"

Cao Xin's eyes lit up, "But Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The youngster nodded repeatedly.

"Hahaha, it turned out to be the eldest brother, I misunderstood, I misunderstood, since the eldest brother is a family, what else is there to fight, why don't you order someone to Mingjin to collect the troops, how about we get off the horse and talk about the wine?"

Cao Xin laughed.

The youngster didn't know how to deal with it, and looked at Qiao Rui lying on the ground.

"Rebel son, if you dare to withdraw your troops, I will not recognize you as a son."

Qiao Rui scolded.

"Eh, father-in-law, this is yours, our family, what's the point of calling around, it's meaningless, uncle, go!"

Cao Xinxin's gun head held Qiao Rui's throat, so that he couldn't speak.

The young general hesitated and personally rang the golden bell for the withdrawal of troops.

Oooooo

The clear sound of bells spread far away on the battlefield.

Hearing this, the Lujiang army retreated.

In the forbidden Liaohua, Chen Lan led people to press on the trend.

"The bridge has fallen, and the Lujiang army quickly laid down its weapons! Surrender or kill! ”

Cao Xin shouted angrily with a big iron spear.

"The bridge has fallen, and the Lujiang army quickly laid down its weapons! Surrender or kill! ”

Langya rode and shouted loudly.

"Lay down your arms! Surrender or kill! ”

Yu Ban Liaohua also led people around to call people to surrender.

Surrounded by Langya cavalry and 7,000 soldiers and horses from Liu'an, more than 8,000 Lujiang soldiers and horses laid down their arms, and the rest of the people died and scattered, and soon only the banner of Cao's army was left on the battlefield.

Cao Xin laughed, he didn't expect the trick of 'catching the thief and capturing the king first' to be useful.

Four years ago on the battlefield in Xuzhou, Xiahoudun was caught by Lu Bu's men, held his neck with a knife, and asked Xiahoudun to order the withdrawal of the army, but Han Hao, the general of Xiahoudun's army, asked Cao's army to continue the attack and not care about Xiahoudun.

After Cao Cao heard about this, he felt that Han Hao had done a good job, and ordered that if he encountered this kind of thing again in the future, he could continue to attack the robbers, and he didn't have to care about the safety of the hostages, which means that the trick of taking hostages is useless on the battlefield.

This time it was luck, too.

"Haha, General Yu, I will leave 3,000 soldiers and horses for you to clean up the battlefield here and take care of the prisoners, is there a problem?"

Cao Xin smiled at Yu Ban.

"General, the last general will ensure the completion of the task."

Yu Ban clasped his fists and shouted.

"Haha, good! Chen Lan Liaohua, take your men and horses, and set off with the general immediately! ”

Cao Xin put away the big iron gun and shouted.

"Yes, General!"

Chen Lan Liaohua beat the drum and gathered troops.

Cao's army gathered quickly.

Cao Xin ordered people to be optimistic about Qiaorui and his son, and returned to Huainan quickly with Langya cavalry and more than 4,000 soldiers and horses.

And in Chengde County, he joined more than 2,000 baggage battalions and Hefei garrisons led by Liu Dashi, and 2,000 Langya infantry and archers led by Yu Poison and Li Dayan.

A total of 9,000 men and horses returned to Shouchun City in the early morning of the second day.

"Siege!"

Cao Xin shouted with a big iron spear.

"Yes, General!"

Liao Huayu poisoned, Liu Dashi, Li Dayan, Chen Lan and other generals led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, surrounded Shouchun City on three sides, east, west and north, and returned the other way to the other.

"Cao thief is hateful!"

At the head of the city, Zhou Yu shouted angrily with a cold face.

He never expected that Cao Jun would defeat Qiaorui's 10,000 Lujiang soldiers and horses in just one day after leaving Shouchun, and successfully return to Shouchun City to counter-encircle Yuan's army.

"Military advisor, Cao's army has traveled a long distance and lacks physical strength, so it is better to take advantage of its unstable foothold and take the lead in attacking."

Zhang Xun proposed.

"No, the antler barrier and the giant shield are relatively heavy and inconvenient to carry, if you take the initiative to attack the Cao army's camp outside the city, our army may not be able to stop the charge of Langya's cavalry."

Kuai Yue frowned.

Zhou Yu nodded, "That's true, our army has 15,000 people, Cao's army only has more than 8,000 people, our army is better than him in terms of strength, our army relies on the city wall, and has the support of the clans in the city, the time and place are favorable, and the people are all on our side, our army only needs to hold Shouchun for a few days, and the Cao army will inevitably retreat." ”

Everyone nodded and decided to hold on to the city.

"General Zhang, please send someone to strictly investigate the city defense and the secret roads in the city, and tens of millions of other Cao Jun will get in."

Zhou Yu said thoughtfully.

"Understood!"

Zhang Xun led people away.

Zhou Yu looked at the Cao Jun military village outside the city and clenched his fists.

"Cao thief, I will never let you step into Shouchun."
