Chapter 229: Decisive Battle of Bai Tengjiang Eleven
Four thousand cavalry galloped on the east bank of the Baiteng River, and Cheng Pu stared solemnly at Cao Jun not far away.
Because of the blockade of the news, no one in Cao's army knew that Sun Quan, Cheng Pu, and Zhou Yu jointly planned to empty almost all the capable cavalry on the east and west of the Yangtze River and the northern defense line. This matter, even Changshi Zhang Zhao was kept in the dark.
Jiangdong did not have a good land for raising horses, but it did not prevent Sun Quan and Zhou Yu from privately communicating with Hepu County, which was a rare horse breeding place in the south, and the horses transported were enough for them to establish such a cavalry army.
4,000 people, 4,000 horses, this is the strongest of all the cavalry in Jiangdong, this cavalry is definitely not as good as the tiger and leopard cavalry in the southern and northern wars, but in any battlefield, it is enough to be called a powerful combat force.
Coupled with the cavalry led by the generals on the west bank, Jiangdong pressed almost all the cavalry on this battle.
And Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and Cheng Pu, the three people who controlled the military lifeline of Jiangdong, were in the next game of extremely courageous chess, and they wanted to take advantage of the rapid transfer of cavalry to eat this Cao army that had penetrated deep into Jiaozhou before Cao Cao in the north found out.
In particular, the word "Cao" on the other side of the Chinese army.
Cheng Pu was the only person in Jiangdong who was qualified to command most of the army to fight, so before the war, Zhou Yu made a plan that he would command these cavalry at the bottom of the box to attack Cao Wu's headquarters.
No matter where Cao Wu is, Cheng Pu's goal in this battle is to kill him.
The battlefield on the west bank of the Baiteng River has intensified, and the Jiangdong Army has gradually declined, but Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu no longer care about it, and their goal is only the Cao Ziqi in front of them.
Cheng Pu drew his sword and shouted: "For the sons and daughters who died on the Chibi battlefield, all the gentlemen follow me and kill Cao Wu, the general of Beifu!" ”
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The four thousand cavalry galloped with a solemn atmosphere, and drove straight into Cao Wu's military formation.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
The war drums sounded in the Cao army, and a young red-faced general led more than 1,000 Cangwu cavalry to meet the enemy.
The red-faced general shouted, "Wei Wenchang is here, take orders!" ”
Cheng Pu snorted coldly: "Nameless, it's not worth mentioning." ”
Cheng Pu waved his hand, and the cavalry behind him divided into a thousand people to meet Wei Yan.
Wei Yan has been hidden in the snow for so long, only to see the West Bank fighting, he finally has the opportunity to make contributions here, where will he miss it, although he knows that the combat strength of the Cangwu soldiers he led this time is not good, but he is not afraid at all, and leads the troops to meet it.
Cheng Pu led the rest of the cavalry to continue the attack.
Not long after, two more generals were killed in Cao's army, leading four or five thousand infantry, guarding by improvised fortifications.
It was Jingnan generals Bao Long and Chen Ying.
Cheng Pu squinted at the two of them. He said loudly: "The thief army is just a temporary camp, don't be afraid, step over!" ”
The cavalry under his command agreed violently, and the cavalry at the front crashed directly into the Cao army camp as if they were not dying, and the makeshift camp blocked many horses, but there were also a few places that were really knocked out.
"Kill, kill!"
Cheng Pu swung his sword, threw off Bao Long and Chen Ying, and continued to move forward.
There were about 1,000 people left behind to deal with the more than 4,000 infantry under Bao Long and Chen Ying.
Although there were few soldiers in Jiangdong, these cavalry rushed into the Cangwu soldiers who were not good at fighting, and they were still like sheep in the mouth of a tiger, killing pieces of stumps and broken arms.
Cheng Pu glanced back, and sneered in his heart, not laughing at Cao Wu and other generals, but laughing at Cao Wu's subordinates There are indeed no more available soldiers.
In the battle just now, the Jiangdong Army has already been tried, Cao Wu's elite are all on the west bank, and those who remain on the east bank are just Cangwu soldiers.
Looking at Bao Long and Chen Ying's response now, it can be seen that his guess is not wrong.
"The thief army is empty, kill!"
Although Cheng Pu was old, he was a real warrior, leading these fierce cavalry who were not afraid of death to rush straight into the Cao army's formation, getting closer and closer to Cao Wu's Daxu.
Suddenly, a general rushed out of the horizontal spur, riding a horse and holding a gun, standing in front of Cheng Pu's army formation.
The man shouted: "Hejian Zhang Junyi has come to learn the skills of the governor of Jiangdong!" ”
The "Zhang" flag flew behind him, and many soldiers followed him.
Cheng Pu was not surprised, he counted a little, and found that Zhang He probably had more than 1,000 infantry and a small number of cavalry.
Because Cao Wu's Daxu is in the middle of the army, Wei Yan, Bao Long, Chen Ying, and Zhang He, what these four people can mobilize is already all the soldiers and horses that can guard Cao Wu at present, and the remaining Cangwu soldiers may not be able to transfer the cavalry to meet him head-on.
Jiangdong knew about Zhang He's village before the military, and Zhang He led the troops with serious injuries, and jumped out at this time, which just proved that Cao's army was already poor.
"No matter, kill it!"
With a wave of his hand, Cheng Pu rushed into battle and used the last of his accumulated strength to cross Zhang He's army.
Zhang He's eyes were split, and he said loudly: "Rats, dare to fight!" ”
Cheng Pu smiled: "Seriously injured people, Cheng does not want to be bullied. When I solve Cao Wuxiao'er, I'll take your head again! ”
In this way, the right governor of Jiangdong went all the way to a place only a few hundred meters away from Cao Wudaxu.
This sprint, stained with blood all the way, the Cangwu soldiers are too weak after all, 15,000 soldiers and horses, only more than 8,000 people in the front, although Zhang Hesi General is desperately dispatching, he can't stop so many cavalry at all.
The cavalry itself is strong, and when it has already rushed up, 8,000 people are just grass mustard.
Cheng Pu knew this very well, so he did not hesitate to divide his troops to block Zhang He and others, and when he arrived here, he still had more than 1,500 cavalry under his command.
In front of Cao Wu, there were only about 2,000 infantry left.
According to previous experience, these infantry could not have stopped them.
And Cao Wu himself seems to have appeared out of thin air, and there is no record of cutting generals, Cheng Pu is confident that he can single-handedly pick out ten Cao Wu.
As long as Cao Wu dies, these Cangwu soldiers will naturally collapse, and even if Zhang He is a famous general in the world, he may not be able to reorganize them when he is seriously injured.
At this distance, he could almost see Cao Wu's face on the hillside.
He wanted to see Cao Wu's panicked, weak and helpless expression, or his frightened expression when he was holding on to his composure, but he didn't see anything.
Cao Wu on the hillside, sitting with a golden knife, and a veiled woman behind him was kneading his shoulders.
There were only about ten guards standing behind Cao Wu, and there were no other personnel to protect them.
Cao Wu ate the Jiaozhou melons and fruits on the plate in front of him, and looked at Cheng Pu comfortably.
Cao Wu even waved his hand to say hello.
Cheng Pu frowned, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
He looked down at the ground, made sure that there were no traps on the ground, and then immediately decided, no matter what, he rushed here, and he couldn't let this scheming Cao Wu be deceived.
"Huangkou Xiaoer, harm me Jiangdong, Chaisang once, Chibi once, today, I will let you die without a place to be buried!"
Cheng Puji pointed at Cao Wu and charged forward angrily.
Fifteen hundred cavalry also charged forward, and soon met the last of the infantry.
Then, it was as if they had hit a mountain.
Biqiu Jian stared at Cheng Pu calmly.
He is the biggest security guarantee for Cao Wu to stay on the east coast.
