Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan and Le Jin were in charge of attacking the four gates of Shouchun. Cao Hong's task is to protect Cao Cao's safety. Hearing that Cao Cao would give him the task of capturing Shouchun City. Cao Hong was still slightly taken aback. but. As one of Cao Cao's most trusted generals. Cao Hong shouted immediately. Dragging a knife to kill Shouchun City.
The drums shook the sky. Cao Hong rushed across the moat. Flew up the long ladder. On the head of the city. A thick ring hit the head. Cao Hong has quick eyes and quick hands. The knife was hitting the bark. Just listen to the loud noise of "boom". Lei Mu turned somersault in midair. He slammed into a long ladder nearby. Immediately hit the long ladder to pieces. The four or five Cao Jun soldiers who were climbing on the long ladder screamed and fell. There was a burst of exclamation from above and below the city.
This time, he flew the ring. Cao Hong is also tingling his arms. But he gritted his teeth and continued to climb up the city. Waiting for the soldiers and Min Zhuang on the front of the city to react from the shock just now. Cao Hong has climbed halfway up.
Several Minzhuang who reacted lifted a putter. Withstand the long ladder. Desperately push it out. Seeing that the long ladder has gradually left the city. Suddenly Cao Hong shouted loudly. The big knife is on the wall. Leaped into the air. Repeatedly stepped on the long ladder. There was a "bang" sound. A cloud of smoke rose above the city. The long ladder was erected on the top of the city again. And Cao Hong has already climbed up a few steps.
A group of soldiers saw this. Regardless of the threat of Cao Jun's crossbowmen under the city. Poke your body out of the arrow stack. Just listen to the sound of bowstrings. More than a dozen feather arrows went straight to Cao Hong and shot them. Cao Hong danced a knife with one hand. Throwing down the feathers and arrows one after another. Suddenly I saw him shake. There was a muffled hum. An early arrow hit the left shoulder.
The Cao Jun bowman under the city exclaimed. They raised their heads and shot up to the city. Suppress the shooter on the head of the city. Covering Cao Hong. Cao Hong took this opportunity. Continue to climb towards the head of the city. Only two steps away he can jump to the top of the city. Just at this critical juncture. Cao Cao's army suddenly became confused. Countless cavalry swept in with billowing smoke. Soon Cao Jun was broken into several sections. But the reinforcements of the Han army arrived.
Cao Hong, who was about to jump up to the top of the city, suddenly heard the drum stop. The mind is not good. Hastily turned around and looked around. He stands tall and sees far. I saw smoke billowing behind Cao Jun. I don't know how many cavalry are rushing over. Can't help being taken aback.
Cao Hong's mission is to protect Cao Cao. If Cao Cao is over. Even if they captured Shouchun City, what's the use? Thought of this. Cao Hong no longer had to climb up. Jumped down from a long ladder several feet high. Fucked on the spot. Turn on the horse. Rushed to and fro. at this time. Cao Jun is already in chaos.
Cao Jun is dominated by infantry. It was another surprise attack. There is no time to form an effective formation to stop the impact of the Han cavalry. Had to scurry around with his head.
Cao Cao couldn't take care of the drums anymore. Quickly threw the drumsticks. Mounted in a hurry. He is full of regret now. If you never ignore the favored surrender. Maybe Shouchun City has been captured now. If you use Cao Hong or Han reinforcements earlier, come two steps later. That will all change. But there are not so many ifs in the world. Cao Cao can only escape now.
Cao Hong rode his horse back to the west bank of the moat. Cao Cao's handsome flag was seen at a glance. Hurriedly rushed over. Encountering Xiahou Dun.
Xiahoudun said loudly: "The matter is urgent. It is important to save the lord first."
Cao Hong snatched the handsome flag. Chao Xia Hou Dun arched his hands. Said: "The general quickly led the lord to the south. A certain went to divert the enemy away."
Cao Cao has understood Cao Hong's intentions. Hurriedly resisted: "Zilian. No."
Cao Hong took the reins. Said loudly: "There is no flood in the world. There is no justice."
Finished. Cao Hong dispatched his horses. Ran north. Xiahou Dun saw that Cao Cao was still waiting. Quickly stepped forward and grabbed Cao Cao's horse's head. Said: "Lord. Go away."
The cavalry of the Han army saw Cao Cao's handsome flag. Sure enough, they chased north in a swarm. Since reinforcements appeared. Man Chong has been watching Cao Cao's movements with a telescope on the city. Seeing that the Han cavalry was led away by Cao Hong. I stomped my feet in a hurry. But there is no alternative. All four doors were blocked. I can't get out. Not to mention the delivery of messages.
There are not many cavalry in the Cao army. Now he has fought Yuan Shao for a year. After several wear and tear. There are less than three thousand tigers and leopards left. But they are all warriors who have experienced many battles. The incident happened hastily. Many tiger and leopard riders do not know the inside story. Just know to follow Shuaiqi. and so. More than two thousand riders gathered around Cao Hong. It's more like protecting Cao Cao to escape. Cao Hong deliberately divided some troops to protect Cao Cao. But he himself had already lost where Cao Cao was. The cavalry had to follow him.
After receiving Liu Xin's order. Xu Huang left Yan Yan and fifty thousand infantry and ten thousand armored cavalry. Take advantage of the fortified camp set up by Nü Yi. As a defense against Yuan Shao in Yecheng. Three hundred thousand Yuan Jun prisoners of war were also held here. After careful screening, they will be released in batches. In addition, Guan Yu's subordinate was transferred from Neihuang to the south. Siege Li Yang. The rest of the generals all killed and rushed to the prison. Come and wipe out Cao Cao.
At the forefront were more than 35,000 Han light cavalry. It was led by Zhang Fei and Zhang Xi. All the way to Hulao Pass. It was learned that Cao Cao had already cleared the siege and left. So the two leaders followed Cao Jun's trail in close pursuit. Straight into the territory of Runan.
at this time. Runan has been captured by Cao Cao. It's just that Cao Cao didn't leave many soldiers and horses to garrison. Instead, they robbed all the grains of the counties and government offices and the people in the city. Has fled to the southeast.
Zhang Fei and Zhang Yun knew that the southeast counties were empty. Don't dare to stay longer. Starry night came immediately. Is hitting Cao Jun to besiege Shouchun City. The two immediately divided their forces. Keep rushing over. Disperse Cao Jun. suddenly. Zhang Fei saw Cao Cao's handsome flag. Could not help shouting. He straightened up the Eight Snake Lance and chased it up.
Along the way. There were also many remnants of the Cao Army who tried to block the offensive of the Han cavalry. Without exception, they fell under the horseshoes of the Han light cavalry. quickly. Zhang Fei caught up with the cavalry cavalry that fled.
Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is the elite of Cao Jun's elite. The horses riding are all prairie horses that Cao Cao bought from Xianbei for a lot of money. And equipped with a copycat version of stirrups. The riding skills are not much better than the nomadic tribes on the grasslands.
but. The Tiger and Leopard Rider is brave. But it can't compare to the Han cavalry. Both sides fled and chased. The distance is gradually getting closer. Has entered the range of the Han cavalry. The Han cavalry put away their sabers one after another. Bend the bow and shoot the arrow. The sound of "swish swish" is endless. From time to time, Cao Jun soldiers fell down. In a blink of an eye, countless iron hooves stepped on him. Become a pot of mashed meat.
The cavalry of the Han army got closer and closer. But the tiger and leopard riders following Cao Hong are getting fewer and fewer. In the rush. Many cottage stirrups hanging under the saddles of tigers and leopards also began to fall off because they could not withstand the bumps. Some soldiers even fell their horses as a result. This is the difference between copycat and genuine. In order to study how to make the stirrup and the saddle closely combined. The research institute has done a lot of work.
Once the stirrup falls off. The riding skills of the Tiger and Leopard Rider immediately dropped by a notch. And used to stirrups. Now suddenly there is no stirrup. Will be even more unaccustomed. Just at this terrible time. The cavalry of the Han army had caught up. The sharp saber was brandishing. Reaping their lives mercilessly.
The copycat stirrups of Cao Hong's mount also fell off during the run. But his riding skills are very good. It hasn't been affected too much. He knew that it would be useless to flee further. Simply throw away that handsome flag. Dial the horse and turn around. Brandishing a broadsword to face the Han army.
Zhang Fei is in hot pursuit. Suddenly I saw Cao Jun throw the flag. A general came with a knife. Can not help but refresh. Angrily shouted. It's like a bolt from the blue. The ears of the soldiers of the two armies were buzzing.
By the power of this roar. Zhang Fei has already rushed over. A spear stabbed at Cao Hong. Cao Hong hurriedly raised his knife to greet him. The two horses intersect. The two fought in one place. Although Cao Hongwu's art is fine. But it is not Zhang Fei's opponent. In addition, he also stuck a feather arrow on his left shoulder. From time to time there was a burst of pain.
Fight for five or six rounds. Cao Hong felt timid. Make a slash. Turn around and want to jump out of the circle. Where is Zhang Fei willing to let him escape. Give a loud shout. Stabbed with a spear. In the middle of Cao Hong's heart. Cao Hong's body shook. Plant down the horse. Zhang Fei rushed forward. Another spear. Stabbed Cao Hong in the throat. Took his life.
A moment of effort. More than two thousand tiger and leopard riders were also beheaded. Cao Cao was not seen. Zhang Fei exclaimed: "You are fooled. Hurry up. Go back."
then. Thousands of cavalry soldiers went back and killed them. at this time. The mountains and plains are full of Cao Cao's soldiers. Where to find Cao Cao's figure. Zhang Fei had to lead his subordinates to hunt down those Cao army defeated soldiers. Not much effort. There were shouts and killings all around.
original. Huang Zhong also received Liu Xin's order. Make Wei Yan stay in Puyang City. He led the others back to the original station. Is catching up with this fight. More than an hour later. Xu Huang led a brigade of infantry to arrive. Join the battle group immediately.
The fierce battle outside Shouchun city was dying until it was too late. Two hundred thousand Cao Jun died and injured more than half. Countless people have fallen. Both Cao Ren and Le Jin died in the rebellion. Only Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, and Xia Houyuan escaped in the chaos. Nowhere to go.
At this moment. Man Chong finally cleared away the obstacles blocking the four gates of Shouchun. Welcome the army of Xu Huang, Huang Zhong and others into the city.
Among the generals. Xu Huang has the highest status. He naturally took over the supreme command. On the one hand, someone cleaned the battlefield. Gather the captives. Send dozens of riders on one side. Explore the whereabouts of Cao Cao and others.
suddenly. The drum outside Shouchun County Office was beaten. This is Liu Xin's innovation. A big drum is set up outside the yamen in every county. Allow the people to beat the drums and complain about grievances. It is heard that people are playing drums. The county governor must be promoted to council immediately. Otherwise, it will be punished as malfeasance.
Hear the drums. Man Chong frowned. He arched his hands towards Xu Huang. Said: "There is a general here today. I dare not dedicate myself to the next official. Please also promote the army to the board of directors."
