On the official road about thirty miles away from Qiao County, a group of people and horses walked slowly, numbering about two thousand. The leader was a dark-faced man with a big gray beard. He also sighed heavily along the way.
Along the way. Needless to say, this pair of men is the Montenegrin Army, and the black-faced man is also the Sali Dog. This man does not look like a dog, and the Sali Dog is not actually his real name. His real name is Huang and Sai. Sali.
The title "dog" was just a nickname given to him by his friends in the world. No one knows why he was given such an unpleasant nickname.
The reason for his long sigh was the purpose of his trip. In fact, he had always been hesitant about leading his troops to attack a small Cao family in Qiao County. First, he started with a small Cao family in Qiao County, which was worthy of his massive deployment.
Moved troops to attack. The two brothers of the Cao family had heard of them recently. They were just the ones who dared to attack Dong Zhuo but failed. In his opinion, Cao Cao and Cao Zhi were just two fledglings.
Huangkou Xiaoer, that's in his eyes. Secondly, the boss Bai Rao and the military advisor Li Ru were both opposed. They both believed that there was no need to use their brains on a Cao Mansion that was far away in Qiao County. There was no big gain. So he initially
Huang Cheng was not interested in the proposal from afar.
This Huang Cheng is actually the half-brother of Sali Gou. One is a bandit and the other is a slave. The two are completely different and have not seen each other for more than ten years. Huang Cheng's sudden visit this time surprised him. Out of love
The Sali Dog naturally kept him for a few days.
Huang Cheng used these days to persuade Sali Gou carefully. Sali Gou learned from Huang Cheng that the selection of the Cao family in Qiao County was the idea of his master Zhou Xin, the prefect of Danyang. He also passed on the message that as long as the Cao family was captured,
, all the golden beauties in the Cao Mansion belong to him. Not only that, as long as Shari Gou does this for him, he will also set aside an area on the Danyang boundary for him to rule in the future. These words make Sali Gou excited, no matter it is
Both gangsters and heroes hope to make achievements in this life and live a glorious life.
The Black Mountain Army that has joined Zhang Feiyan has not managed to produce a single prince or general for so long. Not to mention, now it does not even have a fixed territory and is driven around by officers and soldiers all day long. If this thing really happens, Zhou Zhou
Xin Zhen can carve out an area under his jurisdiction in Danyang. That is a formal way, and he will also be an official of the imperial court. Who wants to spend their whole life robbing families and being a bandit! Huang Cheng saw how excited he was, and started talking nonsense about the Cao family.
He is so rich and is the richest man in Pei State. Sali Gou has also heard about this. He then goes on to talk about how the Cao family has many beauties and so on. Finally, Sali Gou was persuaded by Huang Cheng and decided to go to Danyang.
Meet Zhou Xin, the governor of Danyang, for a while before making plans.
Unexpectedly, not long after arriving in Danyang, he made up his mind to send troops to Qiao County to capture the richest man in Pei State. The person who made him make a hasty decision was not because of Zhou Xin's warm reception, but because he met him.
She. There are such beautiful and charming women in the world, and it was this woman who made him determined to lead his troops to attack the Cao family in Qiao County.
He recalled what happened that night from beginning to end. From the time the woman appeared, collapsed and got drunk, and she helped him into the room, he could not describe her image! He only felt that she was beautiful and moving, and that he had never touched her in his life.
Compared with other women in my life, it is really a world of difference. But I really can’t remember what her eyebrows, eyes, nose, and lips are like! The only thing that is clear is that her skin is fairer than that of ordinary women, and her taller figure*
* and plumper buttocks. He remembered that when they walked into the inner room supporting each other, he glanced down from the open collar and found that the mutton-fat jade-like plump buttocks trembled, and his blood immediately swelled
.Like a dog that smelled the scent of meat, he pushed her down on the bed. He was so anxious that he didn't even have time to take off his shoes, so he had a "cloud and rain" with the woman.
Afterwards, the woman gently cleaned him up, and he was so beautiful. For three consecutive days, he spent almost all the time in bed with the woman. He also knew that the people in the house called the woman "Xiao Tao", maybe
It's because her breasts look like peaches, that's why we call her Xiaotao!
Now, whenever Sali Gou thinks of Xiao Tao, his desire rises. He wants to have this woman forever. Zhou Xin also promised him that Xiao Tao will be given to him when the matter is completed, and now he will keep her in his house.
But along the way, he thought about it and wavered again. Zhou Xin said that after the matter was completed, he would be given a county in Danyang County for him to administer. But this was empty talk after all, and there was no basis for it. If in the future Zhou Xin
If I don't admit it, then what he is doing now is Bai Xian (slang, meaning Bai Gan). Even if it is for Xiao Tao, now think about it, is it worth it for him to do this for this woman? What is the situation of the Cao family in Qiao County?
He didn't know anything about it, so he just heard Huang Cheng say, "The Cao family doesn't have many strong men, and the caretaker of the house is a three-legged cat. With the strength of the eldest brother, it will be easy to take it down."
Then why was he the only one who was sent to stamp out the market? The Sali Dog also asked Huang Cheng, but he only talked about the few disciples sent to him and deserted halfway! Now think about it carefully
, even if he deserts, there are some who have fled, and he still knows a little bit about his own subordinates. Should he believe this brother whom he has not seen for many years? Hey... strange things come and go, who told him to be arrested at that time?
** Got carried away!
There is no turning back when the bow is fired. Don’t think about it. At least the Cao family is also the richest man in Pei country. This is an indisputable fact. Gold and silver can always be obtained. I have fallen out with several leaders of the Montenegrin army because of this matter.
, now I just have to bite the bullet, keep doing it, and achieve something, so that I can be proud of myself in the future.
Unconsciously, we have stepped onto the border of Qiao County. It was getting dark. The Sali dog sat on the saddle and looked up at the boundless night. He didn't know that it was the end of him. At this time, the messenger came and asked, "If
Camped on the spot. "The Sali Dog looked ahead and turned to ask the military advisor Li Ru for his opinion. Li Ru thought about it and suggested to the Sali Dog that a night raid on Cao's house would be the best option. The Sali Dog also had this idea.
I mean, the night is long and there are many dreams, so it is better to cut off the garbled characters with a sharp knife. After the Sali Dog passed the order, he kicked his horse and went first.
This Montenegrin army has been marching all day and has not even had a bite of hot food. All the soldiers are tired and thirsty. But the commander-in-chief has an order to "speed up the official road and raid Caojiazhuang tonight." Although
There were already rumors of grievances, but amid the beatings and shouts from the leaders, big and small, they could only move forward silently.
Cao Zhi had already slept in the military tent on the mountainside. Under the silent night sky, any sound was particularly loud. Cao Zhi was awakened by the sound of footsteps. Cao Zhi held his sword in his hand and hurried out to meet Li Diangang when he arrived at the tent.
Li Dian was walking with his head down just now. Suddenly someone stood in front of him. He was really startled. When he saw it was Cao Zhi, he quickly said respectfully: "Brother, Le Jin's people are reporting back, and the Shari Dog has been there all night."
March, come straight to us.quot;
"Okay, wake everyone up and prepare to fight." Cao Zhi shouted excitedly. After explaining Li Dian, Cao Zhi went straight to the top of the mountain.
The sound of rapid footsteps and the sound of horse hooves came closer and closer, and Cao Zhi hurriedly arrived at the top of the mountain facing south.
Xia Houyuan and all the soldiers got up, lay down on the top of the mountain and looked around.
Under the magnificent starry sky, in the seemingly silent grassland, local birds flew away in fright, and occasionally the roar of tigers could be heard.
Li Dian's face turned pale and he said, "Here we come!"
Xia Houyuan was proficient in observing the enemy's situation and guessed that the enemy was still far away. Cao Zhi asked Li Dian, "Did Cao Ren send someone to notify him?"
"Sent out," Li Dian replied.
Cao Zhi and others immediately got busy, strengthening defensive measures, deepening the trenches for hiding troops, and setting up more stumbling ropes, stones and other things.
Two hours later, the Montenegrin army of Sali Dogs finally arrived. Hearing the neighing of strong horses at the foot of the mountain, it was as if the hills were surrounded. For a moment, they were surrounded by murderous thieves. The sight of them made all the warriors tremble with fear, because
There is really a huge difference in terms of momentum.
Cao Zhi's scalp was numb and he couldn't help but tell himself to calm down. After all, this was his first time to face and command a battle independently. It was also the first time for Xia Houyuan, Li Dian and other young people to fight against another army with a huge disparity in strength.
.
Cao Zhi deployed 800 people on the mountain, and the remaining 300 to 400 people were left to Cao Ren to guard the Cao family's residence. Cao Ren's Cao family army consisted of more than 200 servants and strong men, and the county government also dispatched police officers and government servants
, two hundred civilians came to support the Cao family's army against the gold thieves. In addition to the three to four hundred people mobilized by Cao Zhi, there are also seven or eight hundred people in the Cao Mansion. This is the safest arrangement that Cao Zhi thinks.
There was a sudden sound of hoofbeats, and two teams of horse thieves, each with more than a hundred people, were heading up the mountain from the mountain roads on both sides.
Cao Zhi thought that this group of bandits also knew how to explore the way before crossing the mountain, so he ordered everyone to stay at their posts and be calm and not to act rashly.
Two groups of Montenegrin troops began to ride up the slope, emitting sharp roars that truly chilled the hearts of those who heard them.
The two pairs of Montenegrin troops reached halfway up the hillside, spread out, and quickly sprinted up the mountain.
Suddenly, the cavalrymen in the front row were overturned. Either they fell into a pit full of upward spikes, or their horses were knocked down by the bridle rope, and they fell down the slope one after another. The cavalrymen who followed were so tired that they also fell sideways, including their horses and men.
It rolled down, and in a chain reaction, the two teams of nearly 200 cavalrymen suffered more than half casualties and were completely defeated.
All the warriors cheered and shouted together, and their morale increased greatly.
Cao Zhi thought it was a fluke, knowing that the opponent was just careless and underestimating the enemy, and had caught the enemy without warning. He quickly ordered everyone to move down the slope, hide in a deep pit without spikes, set up their bows and arrows, and prepare to deal with the enemy's second round of fierce attack.
Hundreds of torches were lit up all around, illuminating the mountains and below with blood red.
I saw a strong black-faced man with a big gray beard walking out of the enemy camp, sitting proudly on the horse, pointing his finger and shouting: "The boy from the Cao family who has killed a thousand swords, if I, the Shali dog, teach you that one of you can leave the whole body intact"
, I will never hang out on the road again."
When Cao Zhi saw this person, he knew that this was a Sali dog, and secretly scolded the other person for being stupid. By saying this, wouldn't he force his own people to fight to the death?
Cao Zhi felt that his recent training was good, and his physical strength was amazing. He drew his bow and shot an arrow at the Sali Dog. The powerful arrow reached the end of its path and landed ten meters in front of the Sali Dog and Horse. However, the group of thieves changed their minds.
.Who has this physical strength?
The soldiers cheered in their hearts, but did not dare to shout out for fear that the enemy would discover their position.
At the sound of the horn, the Sali Dogs launched an attack. They abandoned their horses and walked on foot. They divided into two groups and launched an offensive from all directions.
The first wave of offensive consisted of horse thieves armed with shields and spears, who carefully climbed up the slope under the light of torches and destroyed the trap set by Cao Zhi.
Behind them were all archers, constantly firing arrows into the mountain to cover the spearmen's climbing movements. Little did they know that Cao Zhi had already hid in the arrow shelter in the middle of the slope.
At this time, all the soldiers were impressed by Cao Zhi's ability to predict the enemy's aircraft, and their confidence increased greatly.
Cao Zhi roughly estimated that there are still nearly 2,000 people on the other side who are still able to fight. Even if all the more than 400 people who are attacking now can be eliminated, the opponent's numbers are still far greater than ours, not to mention that it is impossible to wipe out all the enemies who are currently attacking.
.In addition, there must be casualties on our side. With a thought in his heart, he ordered Li Dian beside him: "When the offensive and defensive battle begins, immediately take ten people to the stables. When you hear the sound of three long and three short horns, immediately break the fence and release the horses."
, drive them down the mountain from the southeast."
Li Dian quickly agreed, went to find a team leader, and led ten people there.
At this time, the first batch of Montenegrin Army cavalry climbed up the mountainside and slowly approached, creating a tense atmosphere.
Sali Gou and a group of his men rode their horses to form a formation at the foot of the mountain, gearing up and ready to rush up and kill at any time.
This was the first time Cao Zhi encountered this kind of scene. After his heart beat wildly for a few times, he ordered: "Let the rock roll!"
More than a dozen piles of tree trunks and stones hidden behind bushes and bushes were torn off the blocking wood and rolled down like waves, smashing the opponent's shields and knocking them over.
Cao Zhigao yelled "Shoot the arrows", and the soldiers hiding in the pit appeared one after another. The powerful arrows were sprinkled down like rain. The enemy was in chaos. Those who were able to resist were hit by arrows and rolled down the slope, and more than three hundred casualties were caused.
people.
All the officers and soldiers were very excited and cheered loudly.
