Li Xingxi, who had been stabbed by Cao Su, was covered in blood and looked very scary.
But the wounds on his face healed quickly, and the superficial wounds were actually not serious.
The generals did not dare to be careless and carried Li Xingxi to the center of the army.
When we arrived at the Chinese Army, we were surrounded by many people, and then we felt a sense of security.
Li Xingxi's face turned pale.
"Commander, advise him."
The military advisor fell into the hands of the enemy. Li Xingxi's generals mentioned the matter and asked Li Xingxi to make a decision.
Li Xingxi's face was filled with uncertainty. Weng Xiao was too important to him. If it weren't for Weng Xiao, he would never have been able to defeat several other bandits and become a major overlord across the two states.
"Pay close attention to the movements of Cao Su's army."
Li Xingxi ordered in a deep voice.
At present, the military advisor is in the hands of Cao Su. As long as his head is not beheaded on the spot, there is still a chance to rescue the military advisor in the future. The key now is to know the movements of Cao Su's army.
The momentum of Cao Su's cavalry charge just now was not weak. After calming down, Li Xingxi figured this out. As long as he kept an eye on Cao Su, he could find the military advisor's location.
Several generals hurried down, and after receiving the order, they immediately arranged for their men to explore the horses and cross the Mojiang River to investigate the situation.
"The doctor is here!"
There was only one doctor in Li Xingxi's army. This doctor was also the one Li Xingxi had forcibly passed through in Jincheng before. He was young, carried a medicine box, and walked up to Li Xingxi. He was forced to take his pulse, diagnose, and make medicines to save people.
Li Xingxi coughed twice, and the young doctor's eyes narrowed, and then he gently tore open Li Xingxi's chest.
Li Xingxi, who had taken off his armor, was wearing a linen garment, which was soaked in blood.
The doctor couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He couldn't help but look at Li Xingxi at this horrific wound.
Li Xingxi frowned and said, "Stop looking and apply the medicine earlier."
The doctor nodded quickly, hurriedly took out some herbs from his medicine box, and then told a soldier next to him: "The green ones are hemostatic grass. You go out and crush this grass first."
The morale of Li Xingxi's army was low, but the morale of Cao Su's army on the opposite side was high.
Cao Su got on his horse, took away the captured Weng Xiao, and led the cavalry to march eastward.
To the east is where Jincheng is located, and it is currently one of Li Xingxi's most important strongholds in Liaozhou.
Cao Su's army was so powerful that it galloped across the wilderness and soon gave way to the Mojiang Ferry.
Weng Xiao, who was following Cao Su, looked puzzled and couldn't understand Cao Su's operation.
Cao Su will definitely not defend the ferry. If Li Xingxi's army really can't get through, with his current supply of food and grass, he can only risk turning around. Not to mention that Dongping will be captured by Li Xingxi's army, Cao Su's Youzhou hinterland will also be radiated by Li Xingxi's army.
within the range.
Therefore, Cao Su would definitely let Li Xingxi come over. In order to prove that he had no interest in Mojiang Ferry, Cao Su directly ordered the army to move eastward.
Let go of the ferry and let Li Xingxi's army pass by at will. Let's see if he has the courage to do so.
"Brother Weng, what do you think of my army?"
Cao Su laughed, and his army slowly moved eastward.
At this moment, Weng Xiao, under Cao Su's coercion and inducement, temporarily succumbed to Cao Su's camp.
Hearing Cao Su's question, he looked at the soldiers around him and sighed: "They are indeed very strong. They can be said to be well-fed soldiers."
Cao Su smiled and asked: "How do you compare with Li Xingxi's subordinates?"
Weng Xiao was silent for a long time and did not answer Cao Su's words.
If he didn't answer, he would take it as acquiescence. Looking at Weng Xiao's expression, Cao Su guessed that the average individual quality of Li Xingxi's army should be inferior to that of his elite cavalry. After all, the cavalry under his command were all field warriors who had experienced hundreds of battles.
The division is the elite cavalry that ranks among the top in the empire.
"What do you want to do now?"
Weng Xiao looked at Cao Su and looked around. In the wilderness, there were cavalry under Cao Su's command everywhere.
He was not sure what Cao Su was thinking. It could even be said that both he and Li Xingxi underestimated Cao Su.
I thought that Cao Su would make a surprise move, or directly find Li Xingxi's main force to fight, but I didn't expect that Cao Su would directly use one move to fight the generals. This kind of reckless behavior was not like Cao Su's previous style.
Cao Su rode on a tall war horse and said calmly: "Of course I want to fight with Li Xingxi."
Looking for a decisive battle with Li Xingxi?
Are you kidding me? Li Xingxi is still in the west. How can you find him if you go east? Could it be that the land is round?
Weng Xiao shook his head secretly, thinking that Cao Su didn't trust him very much yet, so he said a few random words to deal with him.
When Cao Su saw Weng Xiao's look, he knew that he didn't understand.
It's normal, and most people won't understand his thinking.
For example, he had the chance to kill Li Xingxi directly before, but it was not necessary.
Now that Li Xingxi has no arm like Weng Xiao, it is no longer a concern. He is more useful alive than dead. For Cao Su, he needs such a person to cause chaos in the two states so that he can better control the power of the two states.
Cao Su thought silently, and new ideas gradually came into his mind.
Weng Xiao on the side was also silent, not knowing how to face his old master.
——
Half a day later, Cao Su led his elite cavalry to Jincheng.
The four gates of Jincheng were closed tightly. Ying Fan, the defender of Jincheng who had already seen the arrival of Cao Su's army, looked nervously at Cao Su outside.
Cao Su led these thousands of fine horses and ran around Jincheng. The rumble of horse hoofs echoed between heaven and earth. Each sound pressed on the hearts of everyone in the city, making people nervous.
But when night fell, Cao Su did not stay in Jincheng, but led his troops south.
It quickly disappeared from sight, and the defenders on the Jincheng wall could not see clearly and did not know where the enemy was.
"General, has Cao's army retreated?"
On top of the city wall, there were soldiers who were in disbelief.
Ying Fan said angrily: "How can I know? I have to go downstairs to investigate what's going on with Cao Jun. In addition, I'll notify the commander immediately and come to Jincheng for support."
Ying Fan was a cautious man, otherwise Li Xingxi would not have left Jincheng to him to guard.
However, Ying Fan was too cautious and has not yet figured out Cao Su's true military strength.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Like Li Xingxi, Li Xingxi also did not know how many people Cao Su brought, how many high-grade experts there were, and how many middle-grade experts there were. This information is all
I don't know.
What's worse is that now the people who helped them with advice are gone, and it falls directly into the hands of Cao Su.
Cao Su led his army and ran south for more than ten miles, and then another group of cavalry came to deliver the news to Cao Su.
"General, General Hong Ding is reporting urgently!"
Hong Ding and Cao Su took another route. Hong Ding went straight to a small town to the east of Jincheng. Cao Su heard that Hong Ding had urgently reported, so he immediately opened the emergency report and checked it carefully.
After seeing this, he suddenly showed a look of ecstasy.
He turned to look at Weng Xiao who was aside.
Weng Xiao was stunned, wondering why Cao Su was laughing, but his smile didn't look like something good had happened.
Cao Su actually threw the urgent report directly to Weng Xiao.
Weng Xiao took a look at the emergency report thrown by Cao Su, and it actually said that Hong Ding had captured Chidong. After Hong Ding captured Chidong, he discovered that there was a large amount of food and grass for Li Xingxi's army in Chidong City, a total of 300,000.
stone!
"Li Xingxi really gave me a great gift."
Cao Su laughed loudly: "He probably also knows that our army is short of food, so before this winter is over, he sends some food and warmth so that everyone can celebrate the New Year happily, right?"
Cao Su made a joke, while Weng Xiao looked ashen.
Now the entire Liaozhou is caught in the flames of war, and the reason why Li Xingxi has never been able to become bigger and stronger after getting rid of his status as a "rogue bandit" is because he has no official status and does not know how to run a business.
Now it's better, the granary has been touched by Cao Su. Cao Su has taken Li Xingxi's granary. There is no need to fight next. Li Xingxi's so-called army of hundreds of thousands will fall apart.
Weng Xiao could almost see the day when Li Xingxi's army was defeated.
He looked at Cao Su: "The general said that he would spare Li Xingxi's life."
Cao Su smiled lightly and said: "Of course I said it, but the premise is that you must help me wholeheartedly to achieve great things."
Cao Su threatened Weng Xiao again, and Weng Xiao's face changed for a while, and finally he looked up to the sky and sighed.
Then he rolled down from the horse, raised his hands and saluted: "Weng Xiao is willing to ride the horse in front of and behind the master, without any second thoughts!"
When Cao Su heard this, he finally showed joy and laughed several times.
He was full of energy, and his heartfelt laughter resounded throughout the world.
Cao Su also jumped off his horse, walked to Weng Xiao, and helped Weng Xiao up.
"Mr. Weng."
"If I, Mr. Cao, can get help from Mr. Weng, why should I worry about failing to accomplish my great cause?"
Cao Su was already very powerful, and now that he has been in a high position for a long time, his domineering power is even more obvious. When Weng Xiao saw Cao Su lowering his body to praise him, a sinner of the court, his mind was swaying, and suddenly he felt that Cao Su seemed to be more like a wise king than Li Xingxi.
This thought passed by in a flash. At this moment, he no longer thought about Li Xingxi and cooperated with Cao Su to slowly straighten up.
"Mr. Weng, since you are willing to assist Cao, Cao will not hide it."
"I might as well tell Mr. Weng that Cao Su only brought ten thousand elite cavalry with him this time."
What?
When Weng Xiao heard Cao Su's announcement of his own strength, he thought he had heard wrongly.
Ten thousand people?
Ten thousand people forced Li Xingxi into this situation? And they also took down Li Xingxi's granary?
He looked at Cao Su in shock, with a wry smile on his face: "My lord is really powerful, Weng admires him."
Now he was really convinced. He and Li Xingxi had been fighting for too long. He had no idea how capable these important generals in the imperial court could be in leading troops, and he couldn't figure out Cao Su's tactics.
Cao Su said in a deep voice: "Li Xingxi is pretty good, but his vision is too narrow."
"Since we are meeting on the battlefield, how can we follow the prescribed rules for every move?"
"It's true that I, Cao, am a general, but I, Cao, am also a warrior. Since I am a warrior, direct use of force is the best way. Sometimes, simplifying complex problems is also a kind of ability."
Cao Su said a few words casually, and at the same time, his next plan gradually emerged.
The main purpose is to harass Jincheng, and at the same time attract Li Xingxi's main army closer to the Jincheng area.
After all Li Xingxi's army arrives, Cao Su will cross the river to fight and eat up Li Xingxi's partial army left in the Dongping City area.
This is called cavalry combat, giving full play to mobility and breaking through Li Xingxi's weakness.
——
Early the next morning, Cao Su crossed the river from Heyong County.
Only Hong Ding's two thousand cavalrymen were left behind to serve as smoke bombs to attract the attention of Li Xingxi's main force.
After crossing the Mojiang River, Cao Su quickly headed north, and his army ran wildly along the banks of the Mojiang River.
At this time, outside Dongping City, General Tiantong, who was left behind by Li Xingxi, led an army to attack Dongping City.
Today is already the fourth day. The walls of Dongping City are in tatters, and Li Niu and others are finally ready to abandon Dongping City.
At this time, only 2,000 of the 5,000 defenders who were originally guarding were left.
If it were on the open battlefield, the defenders would have collapsed long ago.
Now we are defending the city. Despite the extremely high casualty rate, we can still form a team, but the team is almost collapsed.
Li Niu stood on the city tower, the sun rose in the distance, and Li Xingxi's army under the city began a new round of attack.
The thick horn sound pressed heavily on everyone's heart.
Li Niu raised his head and sighed, his eyes filled with tears.
"I, Li Niu, have failed the general's trust!"
Although Cao Su ordered Li Niu to defend Dongping City for at least three days, Li Niu still wanted to completely defend Dongping City. But now, Dongping City really cannot be defended. The remaining defenders in the city have low morale and are injured.
The battle cannot be fought.
"Captain Li, retreat quickly. It's too late if you don't retreat."
The centurion beside Li Niu wanted to take Li Niu with him.
But for some reason, Li Niu suddenly didn't want to leave.
His stubborn temper was there, and he intuitively told himself that he should not leave. This was his responsibility and his destiny.
He suddenly pulled out the halberd on the city and put it on the wall: "Escape? Where to escape?"
"I, Li Niu, am not going anywhere, I will just stay here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a slight tremor suddenly came from the city wall.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Niu was a cavalryman and was most sensitive to this kind of tremor. He let out a light sigh and subconsciously raised his head to look into the distance.
In the distance, countless black-armored cavalry suddenly appeared from the horizon.
The galloping cavalry swept away countless smoke and dust, and under the sunshine, they rushed towards Li Jun from south to north.
The vanguard officer who was preparing to capture Dongping City in one fell swoop was suddenly shocked.
"Ah, General, the General is here!"
"We are saved, reinforcements are coming!"
On the fourth day of Dongping City, Cao Su led countless cavalrymen, flowing over the hills like a torrent of steel.
Cao Su took the lead and raised the big moon sword in his hand.
The huge moon sword was slashed casually, and that was the terrifying sword energy.
Cao Su's horse was fast and gradually formed a charging formation with himself as the arrow.
Rumble!!!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
As soon as Fang made contact, the elite cavalry led by Cao Su instantly broke through the more than 20,000 vanguard troops left here by Li Xingxi. Countless sergeants were knocked into the air by Cao Su, and there were even some ordinary strength realm warriors among them.
With his current strength and inner strength, as long as he is willing, every move and sword attack will cause area-of-effect damage.
Only when facing a real master of the same level will his skills become more concentrated.
The vanguard officer's mind went blank. He never expected that Cao Su would lead the cavalry here.
Haven't you already fought against Li Xingxi's main force? Why are you still here?
He didn't understand, but Cao Su rode in on a black horse, cutting through the waves.
"The thief will leave!"
Cao Su roared angrily, a loud roar that contained infinite energy, causing the surrounding rebel soldiers to stagger. Cao Su galloped forward, and the big moon sword that was mopping the ground was suddenly raised.
His four hooves soared and he jumped ten feet high.
Holding the arc-shaped big moon knife, a flash of cold flashed through.
Cao Su, who was in the air, lowered his sword head, purple light flowed from the blade surface, and his speed suddenly increased.
"Pfft!!!"
The pioneer officer's huge head was chopped off by Cao Su.
The stunned head rolled in the air, and warm blood splashed in the air and landed on the horse's blade.
However, Cao Su's momentum remained unabated, he galloped forward, led all the cavalry, and instantly cut through the elite vanguard army left here by Li Xingxi.
