Chapter 369 Ambush Cao Hong
The only way to Xudu to Chenliu is mostly flat and difficult to set up an ambush.
There is only a bridge of a river called the Qikong Flood Release Bridge. This bridge is three meters wide and dozens of meters long. It is a stone arch bridge body and can pass through chariots and horses. If reinforcements in Cao's army want to come, they must walk through this bridge. If they walk through other bridges, they cannot bear the weight of horses and chariots and horses.
Lu Bu transferred Liao Hua to 50 general artillery and 100 creeping tiger artillery. Three thousand infantry set up ambush at the bridge.
The reinforcements came Cao Hong, who led 5,000 cavalry to arrive first.
In the east of the seven-hole flood discharge bridge, the large shield soldiers, spear soldiers, and archers are lined up in a row, and the flags are waving.
Cao Hong was so sad that the enemy was blocked in advance, but the flag of the chief general was the character Liao. There was only general Liao Hua in Xuzhou army, with an average strength and a low-level existence.
Cao Hong was anxious and was reluctant to wait.
Liao Hua arranged for soldiers to cover up the general's cannon with the door flag. Cao Hong led thousands of cavalry to rush over, and he could still overturn thousands of infantry soldiers.
Cao Hong was very confident, but Liao Hua was not an ordinary infantryman.
The horse's hooves were clanging and the feather arrows flew. Cao Hong led his team to the Qikong Bridge. As long as he rushed over, he could easily tear up Liao Hua's infantry defense.
"Prepare, fire."
The door flag flew away, and the torch lit the general's cannon.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom.
Fifty general artillery fired together, and the thick smoke accompanied by loud noises, and tens of thousands of iron soybeans buzzed over.
When Cao Hong was in trouble, he felt as if he was hit by a violent hail, and his whole body instantly lost consciousness.
Looking at the hundreds of cavalry in the front line, they were basically destroyed.
The cavalry behind were shocked. It was the first time that this happened to happen in many years of war.
It is impossible to rush again. The people on Qikong Bridge fell all the way, and they were slipping when walking.
Ao, ao.
Lu Bu appeared and led thousands of Xuzhou cavalry to the bridge.
The remaining Cao Bing saw that it was okay and ran away quickly.
Then he retreated, and Lu Bu sent Huaji to chase him.
When I found Cao Hong, it was no longer possible.
As for the wounded soldiers, there were still hundreds of treatments. The princes fought in a melee, and there was no such great hatred.
The soldiers found Cao Hong's flag and were beaten to death.
Huaji chased after more than ten miles before returning, and came back to report: "The enemy ran too fast, and the general was worried about an ambush, so he chased after ten miles and retreated."
"Okay, stop the team."
Lu Bu arranged a thousand Danyang soldiers to guard the bridge, and then reinforced the sandbags, barbed wire, and horse-rejected horses. Cao's army had to spare from other places if they wanted to cross the bridge.
The group returned to Chenliu. As soon as Cao Hong hit the flag, Cao Ren felt something was wrong on the top of the city.
Lu Bu took action and shouted, "Cao Ren, come out and answer."
"Lu Bu, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm here to tell you that Cao Hong was killed by the general and shot to death."
Cao Ren felt dizzy, his brain was deficient in oxygen, and his eyes turned dark, and the deputy general next to him was supported by him.
"Lu Bu is too tyrannical."
Cao Ren almost fainted, and the blow was too big. Cao Hong was his good brother, but he didn't expect to die in a bad way.
Cao Hong discussed with the nearby people: "It's meaningless to trap Chenliu's lonely city. Lu Bu raised his troops to attack and made a complete strategy. It's hard to hold on now. Let's go back and keep a useful body to do things for the lord."
All the generals agreed: "The general is right. Lu Bu doesn't know what he is doing, it's too awesome."
There is no need to take all the soldiers. The second and third-class soldiers are not elite, and they are prone to bombing the camp, and it is difficult to succeed when they are taken away.
Cao Ren is very similar to Cao Cao and is very good at himself. He only assembled three thousand cavalry and two thousand elite infantry, a total of five thousand people.
In the middle of the night, the army left the west gate.
There were eyes staring at them in the dark, but they did not attack Cao Ren's escaped army.
This was arranged by Lu Bu. When Cao Ren wanted to escape, he would let them go, but he would take over the city as soon as possible to avoid chaos and the people's disaster.
The next morning, Zhou Cang came to report: "Lord, Cao Ren led his army of 5,000 last night and fled. Now our light cavalry has controlled the city."
Lu Bu was overjoyed and led his army into the city, and captured Chenliu City with extremely low casualties.
In the early morning, the people who got up early found that the soldiers on the street had all changed their clothes, and it turned out to be Xuzhou Army.
Cao Bing didn't know where he went, but the king's flag changed from the top of the city.
Taking down the city does not mean the end, but it just began.
The logistics team transported thousands of iron pots to those people who had no pots. It turned out that their big pot was pulled to the city wall and made golden soup, and there was no way to cook anymore.
Chen Gong organized 5,000 city defense troops under his subordinates, and thousands of Cao troops who surrendered to help the people rest and rectify the houses, courtyard walls, etc. that were damaged by artillery bombardment.
As for the door panels that each company took back to each company.
Cao Ren left in a hurry and only took away the silver liang, and even the food in the warehouse did not move.
Lu Bu still had the same old method, releasing food, comforting the people who had no food due to the war, using work as a relief, and recruiting the people to repair the official road from Xiaopei to Chenliu.
Xu Du, Cao Cao felt restless in the prime minister's mansion, and always felt like he was having something to do.
This fall is destined to be unhappy. First, Cheng Lian was in Nanyang to cause trouble, train troops, recruit civilians, and want to attack Runan at any time.
Runan is the gateway of Xudu, which is crucial. How can there be any mistakes? Xiahou Dun's army stationed in Runan and strictly guarded the enemy.
The northern Jizhou was even more troublesome. Gao Shun, Lu Su, and Zhao Yun gathered 30,000 troops, and it seemed that they were going to attack Puyang.
Puyang was where Cao Cao started his career and had deep feelings. Xiahou Yuan and Yu Jin were guarding 30,000 troops in Puyang, and should be able to barely remain undefeated.
But Chen Liu was under the greatest pressure throughout the journey.
Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Song Xian and others should be brave and brave, and cunning, which is really difficult to deal with.
"Report." The messenger ran in with Changyin.
"Report to the Prime Minister, General Cao Hong was killed in the Qikong Bridge, and the remaining soldiers have retreated a hundred miles."
Cao Cao didn't stand firmly: "Zi Lian."
I almost fell down after staggering, and my head was in a breeze again, and I felt the blood vessels exploded and it hurt.
The personal soldiers helped Cao Cao into the dormitory.
Cao Cao's tears flowed. Cao Hong was his cousin. He had been blocking the east and west for many years, fighting south and north. It was too difficult. Unexpectedly, he broke into the flood discharge bridge.
Sometimes there is a will in the dark. Cao Hong is a flood, and he has a fun trip to the flood discharge bridge.
"Lu Bu, I swear to kill you."
The next morning, Guo Jia came and took Cao Ren's letter.
"Lord, Cao Ren lost Chenliu and was afraid that you would not come back."
Cao Cao sighed: "It is common for victory and defeat to the military. Please come back immediately. Send someone to Chenliu immediately to return to Cao Hong's body."
"yes."
Chen Liu and Lu Bu arranged for someone to bury Cao Hongcheng, but they were not buried for a long time.
Even if he is an opponent, Cao Hong is at the level of a general and has a good salary. It will cost a lot of money to send it.
