There was a chaos in the camp gate on the south side. When someone shouted "Our army was defeated", Cao Cao knew that the situation was not good.
The situation is obvious. Not only is the main army focusing on both sides of the east and west, but the continuous advancement is a trap set by the enemy. Even the enemy's camp is reserved specifically for the enemy to wait for their own traps! Even those who shouted that they failed to disrupt the morale of the army have been arranged in advance!
How cunning is this? How sinister?
Cao Cao used his hands to add his forehead and beat him repeatedly, not knowing whether it was a headache or a heartache.
In terms of using military deceit, Cao Cao himself is a great man of the present. He defeated the Yellow Turban, captured Lu Bu, destroyed Yuan Shu, captured Yuan Shao, went deep into the north, went straight to Liaodong, and scattered the world. After hundreds of battles, it is best to use strange and dangerous tricks. In this regard, no one should have easily concealed him.
What's more, the enemy in front of him was General Liu Bei's command, Leo Yuan, Xinning Hou Lei Yuan... Although he was a junior, he was famous. He once fought in Yizhou's Ma Chao Iron Cavalry, defeated Yuan Ren in Runan, and burned out the food and grass of the Yuzhou military camp in front of him. A few years ago, he joined hands with Guan Yu to fight Jiangdong's spirit in a battle under Jiangling City.
In recent years, this person has vaguely been famous generals under the command of King Hanzhong, who were second only to Guan Yu. How could he be negligent when fighting with him? How could he easily believe the nonsense of Cao Xiu, Cao Tai and others? How could he think that this person could not do anything when he saw Guan Yu fighting hard?
When Cao Cao led his army to Runan and rescued Hefei, he had dealt with Lei Yuan. However, Lei Yuan's status was low at that time and had nothing to do with the overall situation. Cao Cao only remembered that a small thief led 20 to thirty cavalry to break through the marching brigade, disturbed the central army, and spoke arrogantly.
Later, when he met Guan Yu near Jiangling and discussed calling the captives between the two sides, he remembered that Lei Yuan, the young general who was following Guan Yu, was the arrogant and rude Huainan savage.
This man was only twenty or thirty people, and he dared to provoke the central army protected by tens of thousands of iron cavalrymen. Now he is a general of the front and personally led the people of the tiger in Jiaozhou. What else can he do?
Judging from his past fighting style, this person is tough, cunning and decisive. Even if he becomes a high-ranking general, he will not change his true nature when he is a bandit. He often drives forward and fights, dares to fight strong enemies that ordinary people dare not fight, and dares to take risks that ordinary people dare not take. He is a well-deserved tiger under Liu Bei's command!
And in the past few days, I have neglected it?
I actually think that with Cao Xiu's tens of thousands of people is enough to suppress Lei Yuan?
It's ridiculous! Stupid!
Alas, is it because I am old and my thinking is not as quick as I used to be, and the situation of deduction cannot be fully understood? Or is it because although the number of counselors and staff around me is much worse than Wen Ruo, Gongda, Fengxiao and others who were back then cannot check for me? Or is it because the emperor is by my side and Guan Yun is in front, which has taken too much attention from me, so that I forgot the real key to this battle?
Cao Cao stopped his random thoughts, turned his stiff neck, and looked at the battlefield ahead.
The battlefield is not only ahead! The knights of the Jiaozhou Army scattered like birds and gathered like clouds. They sprinted across, and their figures were everywhere!
This is really a critical moment when the war is fierce and the blood is licking from the knife!
Even as the king of Wei, even if he has hundreds of thousands of people, even if the two armies set up a battle, Cao Cao is confident that he will win... But now, if he is negligent, life and death will only be in a moment!
Just within Cao Cao's sight, his entourages were fighting fiercely with the Jiaozhou cavalry team. The long spear on the horse and the long spear under the horse slammed each other, and the blood splashed one after another, as if the blood mist that could not be dissipated in the air.
Cao Cao's tent was holding a knife and his lieutenant Qin Lang commanded the resistance not far away. When he was shouting, he saw a Jiaozhou knight rushing towards him.
Qin Lang rushed to shoot without even enough, and snatched a white flag that was driving across the shaft of the car, trying to use the flag to scare the war horses and make the war horses avoid it. But the Jiaozhou knight came very quickly, and the war horses passed by the white flags, and the horse armor hung on the pole of the white flags suddenly collapsed. The huge impact force generated shocked Qin Lang so that his hands and mouths cracked.
Qin Lang gritted his teeth and drew out his long sword, intending to fight again, but the Jiaozhou knight had already urged his horse to rush to the other side of him, and waved his knife with his backhand. Qin Lang's pierced neck and half of his head were immediately chopped away.
As soon as Qin Lang died, his entourage was even more panicked.
The military force around Cao Cao was the most brave and powerful of the Wuwei camp led by Xu Chu. However, Xu Chu was separated a little far away at this time, and his Wuwei camp was temporarily dispersed because of the need to separate control of the Jiliuyan camp. At this time, Cao Cao was surrounded by escorts composed of high-ranking officials and nobles and children of aristocratic families. They naturally had civil and military style and were graceful in daily life, but at this time, their bravery and endurance in war may not be as good as an ordinary old soldier!
Cao Cao inserted his short halberd into the ground with force, quickly took off his brocade robe, and called someone to quickly take out his armor.
"King! King! What should I do?" A young man followed him and shouted in vain.
This kind of follower is gentle and has a special service in daily life. Since last year, Cao Cao has advocated the way of immortals who are in the dark. He has been exposed to some alchemy, Qigong, and arts in the room every day. This kind of follower is very popular with Cao Cao.
But how could Cao Cao hear this now?
He pulled out his short halberd and waved it. The branches on the halberd made the follower's face bloom and his teeth flew. He held the bloody short halberd and shouted sternly: "At this moment, there is no king in the army, only General Cao who is fighting with you! You dare to call him the Great King to kill him!"
Just as he gave a few more instructions, he suddenly saw that in another camp covered by the Jiaozhou cavalry team, Xu Chu had already reorganized his team. Then he heard Xu Chu pointing in the direction he was in, shouting repeatedly: "Criminal and cavalry teams follow me and move closer to the King of Wei!"
Xu Chu was the general of Wuwei. When he shouted, the soldiers from several camps responded at the same time and tried their best to move closer to Cao Cao.
This is good news. Cao Cao had just stood upright and wanted to summon Xu Chu to come quickly, but then he saw the light in front of him suddenly dimmed...
Even if it was already afternoon, how could it be so fast that it was dark?
Cao Cao's thoughts flashed, and he threw off his short halberd in his hand, and his body immediately rolled on the spot.
After all, he is a veteran who has been through the battlefield for a long time. Although he has been pampering for many years, he has really reached the juncture of life and death. The battlefield instinct that was engraved in his bones in his early years is still there. Even though he is fat and his belly is round, he rolls sideways like a Pi Ju who is kicked out by someone, and instantly avoids under the car.
At the same time, the long arrows with white arrow feathers, the crossbow arrows with short iron gray poles, and the long arrows with heavy shovel-shaped arrows fell down densely.
The many entourages in front of Cao Cao were each hit by two or three arrows and fell to the ground immediately. The same was true for the soldiers a little far away. Some of them were obviously wearing iron armor and could not stop the arrows. They only roared a few times and staggered, lying with their companions who were everywhere.
In an instant, Cao Cao's ears were filled with screams and arrows hitting the car board, and sticky and slippery blood flowed down from the gaps in the car board, falling down in front of Cao Cao's eyes. Perhaps the driver was shot to death.
A drop of blood fell on Cao Cao's hand, which was warm. Cao Cao shivered for a moment, shook his hands repeatedly, trying to shake the blood away, but he could not do it.
Cao Cao no longer cared about the blood on his hands. He had killed the world from the rain of arrows in the strong forest, not only killing people, but also blood flowed into a channel. But at this time, the huge tension was about to destroy Cao Cao, making him feel a rare fear!
In the next moment, ripples were generated in the pool of blood in front of me. The pool of blood began to shake. It was a large number of cavalry that began to charge. They came straight towards Cao Cao! Because the war horses were well trained, they naturally had a uniform rhythm while running. Such rhythm made the enemy tremble and tremble! They are here!
The car overhead was suddenly lifted up with force.
Cao Cao gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.
But Xu Chu shouted: "You take the king away! Go and meet Wu Zhi, then follow the Wanshui River to the west and reorganize the army to meet the enemy! Go quickly! I will leave behind the rear!"
This ups and downs almost made Cao Cao cry. He tried hard to open his eyes and wanted to say something to Xu Chu. In a daze, he was carried by several people and ran backwards, and then helped him to a horse that he was led from somewhere.
This situation naturally fell into Ma Dai's eyes.
Ma Dai's troops rushed in a straight line, as if they were thunderous. The warriors of Cao's army and the military guards came one after another, but no team could stop them.
He rushed straight to the vicinity of Cao Cao's carriage. This place was the gate where Lao Xuan sent troops to attack Ren Hui and others that day, with tents on both sides and wooden fences blocking them. The speed of the Jiaozhou cavalry was running slightly slower, and dozens of Cao army and military guards rushed over, raised their large shields to block the door, and raised their spears and poked out from the recess of the gun above the large shield.
Ma Dai kept urging the horse, with only one finger.
Two Liangzhou knights reached out to take out the cloth and covered the horse's eyes, then roared wildly and rode forward.
He even had people and horses, without avoiding spears, and his weight of thousands of pounds and speed of lightning broke the shield formation.
Only a loud "bang" sound was heard, seven or eight shield players in the queue flew up, and dozens of people on both sides fell down. The two war horses that rushed to the formation and the horse knights were each stabbed by five or six guns. The war horses, with broken gun handles that were taken off their hands, fell to the ground and whine, and the knight was killed on the spot.
As soon as Ma Dai lifted the reins, he jumped over the scattered shield formation.
Before the four hooves of the war horse were heard, a group of soldiers rushed towards him. The soldiers were covered with iron armor and were much more majestic and taller than ordinary people. Their postures were rushing towards him holding various heavy weapons were simply not like humans, but like some kind of beast with steel and iron bones!
In front of the tiger soldiers, a powerful general roared like thunder and came to fight with swords. Even when he was defeated, the power of the three armies was still trembling!
These are Cao Cao's tiger soldiers! This person is Xu Chu!
When Ma Dai followed Lei Yuan to Runan and burned Cao's food and fodder in Geling. When Ma Dai led the cavalry to set fire everywhere, Lei Yuan's team was attacked by Xu Chu and fought for a moment. Lei Yuan's entourage leader Zheng Jin was killed in battle. Li Qi, Wang Ping, Wang Yue and others were injured. Lei Yuan himself was almost dead and alive. It is said that the armor on his chest was cut down.
Xu Chu's courage can be seen from this.
People like him are truly heroes who have risen in troubled times and have inhuman courage. In Ma Dai's view, unless his brother is resurrected here, he may be unrivaled.
But Madai was still calm.
It was obvious that Xu Chu was approaching, but he raised his hand to the rear of Xu Chu, and a group of people surrounded him and retreated to give instructions: "Mingdi."
With a command, more than ten knights behind him all set their bows and cast whistle.
What is Xu Chu? Just a man! The goal of Mingdi is the battle, and the head that Ma Dai promised to bring to Lei Yuan!
"General Ma casts the whistlebrating!"
The Jiliuyan went up and left and right, and countless Jiaozhou knights heard the sharp roar passing through the air. The shrill sound that would only be made by dozens of whistle and ringing together represented one meaning!
Thousands of people ignored the enemy in front of them, turned around and shouted: "Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill Cao Cao!"
