Chapter 33 Zhang Liao's decisiveness
Zang Ba and the others hid in the barrel, which could be described as a lot of pain, in order to prevent Cao Jun's scouts from discovering it, they entered the barrel as soon as possible.
The inside of this barrel is very crowded, and the bumps on the road are almost everyone gritting their teeth and holding on.
At the same time, everyone was very angry in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to come out and fight Cao Jun.
But now, they can only endure and wait for Cao Jun to come.
Cao Ren was also relieved when he learned that Zhang Liao led the army away, but he still did not lead the army forward.
The time of a stick of incense passed, and Xiahoudun couldn't bear it anymore.
"Zixiao, we can go over now, that Zhang Liaodu led the army and left.
If we don't go over, this matter is spread out, thinking that we are all cowardly people, and everyone else is gone, and we don't dare to go over, isn't this a loss of our own prestige. ”
When Cao Ren heard this, he frowned and did not agree to what Xiahoudun said.
"Wait, and, if others want to say, let those people say, so-and-so is happy.
In this way, all the princes of the world despise our army, and when the two armies are at war, it will be of great benefit to our army, so why not do it. ”
Xiahoudun was suddenly choked and speechless, Cao Ren's words, even he felt justified when he heard it, how could he refute it?
After another incense stick, Xiahoudun became more and more anxious, and Song Xian, Hou Cheng and others were also anxious.
"Wen Yuan, what's going on with this Cao Jun, why hasn't he made any moves, is it that they have seen through our strategy?"
When Zhang Liao heard this, he responded solemnly.
"Impossible! If Cao Jun had seen through it, he wouldn't have waited in place like this.
Now all we can do is wait, and at this time, it depends on who is more patient.
Let the army slow down slightly, and at the same time arrange for some people to complain and complain, so that those scouts of Cao Jun think that we have panicked, and there is even a possibility of mutiny.
Song Xian, you inform the wolf rider, everyone is ready to return to the battle! ”
In Zhang Liao's eyes, since Cao Ren was cautious, then he would create a flaw for him, and the army would run all the way to deliver food, and it was reasonable for such a thing to happen.
Soon, the scouts of Cao Jun reported the abnormality of Zhang Liao's army to Cao Ren and the others, and after hearing this, Xiahou Duan glared directly at Cao Ren.
"Zixiao, send troops, don't wait any longer!"
Cao Ren still didn't agree directly, and at this time, Le Jin's voice came.
"General, you might as well let Yuan Rang lead the 5,000 troops first, if there is no problem, we will lead the troops over."
When Xiahoudun heard Le Jin's words, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, Wen Qian is right, Zixiao, you let me lead the army first, so it's okay."
Cao Ren pondered for a moment, then turned his head to look at Xiahoudun and Le Jin.
"Okay, but you can't go alone, Wen Qian, you also go over and lead six thousand troops away.
Wen Qian, after arriving, you must be on guard and beware of Zhang Liao's wolf ride.
Even if there is no abnormality, we must not relax, as long as we do not escort the grain and grass to the camp, we must not slack off! ”
Xiahoudun's expression was excited, Le Jin's expression was solemn, and the two of them immediately responded.
The two of them soon led the 6,000 army to the place where Zhang Liao placed the grain, while Cao Ren was still on guard.
This piece of land is a gentle place, once the cavalry launches a charge, it is extremely harmful, not to mention that Zhang Liao also has thousands of wolves to ride, this is what Cao Ren has always been vigilant about, and Cao Ren has to be like this.
There is an army formation, and it can still be defended for a while, as long as it holds on until the follow-up army arrives, Zhang Liao will be defeated.
The news that Xiahoudun and Le Jin led thousands of troops to advance quickly passed through the scouts and reached Zhang Liao's ears.
After Zhang Liao heard this, his heart sank, Cao Ren's caution, Zhang Liao admired it a little, such a situation, you have to guard against him here, you are really patient enough.
Zhang Liao frowned, thinking about what to do, now that Cao Jun is divided into two parts, first of all, the pressure on Zang Ba and them is much less.
But the disadvantage is that Cao Ren's army will reach the battlefield before them, and the effect of Zang Ba's sneak attack will be greatly reduced.
At the same time, Cao Ren and the others were on guard, and they would prevent him from leading the wolf cavalry to counterattack.
And once Cao Ren and the others evacuated, he couldn't pursue too deeply, after all, behind Cao Ren was Yanzhou, and if he pursued deeply, he would fall into danger.
At the same time, this is also a test, whether Zang Ba can hold on.
Soon, Zhang Liao looked at Song Xian.
"Song Xian, next the cavalry charges, you lead a thousand horsemen, go to the flank of the Cao army, find a suitable place, and charge the formation.
Later, when the big battle broke out, even if the Cao army was prepared, it would inevitably not be able to take precautions everywhere.
You don't care about the battlefield, find the weak point of the Cao army, and after storming in, go straight to the rear army of the Cao army, and cut off his retreat! ”
Hearing this, Song Xian nodded firmly.
Another two incense sticks passed, and the scouts came to report that the thousands of people of Cao Jun had already arrived at the place where the grain was placed.
Zhang Liao, hearing this, immediately looked at the wolf rider behind him.
"And the state wolf rides, with a certain one, step into battle!"
Zhang Liao led the cavalry to turn around and rush directly, he needed time to go here, and it also took time for Cao Jun's scouts to summon him, at this time, Zang Ba and the others must have already fought.
Song Xian and Hou Cheng saw Zhang Liao's movements, quickly began to command the army, turned around and rushed towards Cao's army.
And Cao Jun's scouts were even more shocked by the scene in front of them, so they immediately began to send a message to Cao Ren.
On the other side, Xiahoudun and Lejin had already arrived at the place where the grain was placed, and Xiahoudun couldn't wait to open a sack and found that it was indeed food, and he was suddenly excited.
And Lejin did take 2,000 people with him and began to arrange precautions in the direction of Zhang Liao's departure.
As the 6,000 troops continued to enter, they soon gradually came to the barrel, and Zang Ba waited in the barrel for a while, and then immediately turned over and got out of the barrel.
"Kill!"
Zang Ba's words fell, Xu Sheng, Wei Xu and others killed one after another, three thousand soldiers continued to emerge, and Cao Jun was still sluggish, that is, he killed countless people.
Lejin was the first to react.
"Enemy attack! Fight the enemy! ”
After Xiahoudun reacted, he was immediately furious and killed Zang Ba directly.
"Thief dares!"
"Death!"
Zang Ba also found Xiahoudun who killed him, and he was full of fearlessness, and he also killed Xiahoudun.
Today's battle is his first battle after defecting to Lu Bu, Zang Ba attaches great importance to it, especially by Lu Bu so much, Zang Ba also wants to serve Lu Bu well.
And Le Jin also killed it, but Le Jin was targeted by Xu Sheng, and after Le Jin came in, Xu Sheng went directly to Le Jin to kill.
Le Jin's heart was full of heaviness, and sure enough, they guessed correctly, Lu Bu really wanted to ambush them.
Especially these Lu Bu's troops who came out of the barrel, they were taken by surprise and caused their army to suffer heavy losses.
In Le Jin's heart, he did not forget that there were thousands of wolf riders and thousands of troops in Zhang Liao.
Now Lejin just wants Cao Ren to come quickly, and after defeating these thousands of enemy troops, he will evacuate immediately.
And Cao Ren also discovered Zang Ba and others who suddenly came out of the barrel.
After Cao Ren sent someone to deliver a message to Cao Cao, he also rushed over directly with a large army.
His thoughts are the same as Lejin's.
If he evacuated, Xiahoudun and Le Jin would inevitably be more auspicious, and Cao Ren would not be able to do so, and now they could only evacuate if they quickly defeated Zang Ba and others.
