The monument general looked down at the weapon on his body with an expression of disbelief. He felt a chill surge through his body. He staggered back quickly and sat down on the ground, holding the sword outside his body. He felt the coldness inside his body. The Emperor Qin's sword was slowly draining away his soul, and his eyes were staring blankly into the distance.
When Cao Zhi had time to pay attention to him, he hacked to death another enemy who was attacking from the rear, and ruthlessly pulled out the Emperor Qin Sword. The monument lost its support and fell to the ground. At this time, several of Cao Zhi's personal guards also fought to death. Charge over and cover him in the center. Seeing Cao Zhi's bravery, the soldiers on the first line of defense also boosted their morale and rushed to kill the enemy in one go.
Cao Zhi glanced helplessly at the second line of defense. When he shouted to the soldiers of the second line of defense, it was already a step too late. The breakout troops led by Zuo Rong had already invaded the second line of defense. The soldiers were originally well prepared and waiting for the attack of this group of Danyang soldiers.
Perhaps it was God's will. At this time, Cao Zhi suddenly called out. The enemy's leader, Zuo Rong, was among the group of people. The soldiers in the second line of defense were in a commotion. They were all looking for Zuo Rong. Killing him would involve a thousand gold reward. Jin, that one is not moved.
But this Zuo Rong was so cunning. He had long since changed into the clothes of an ordinary soldier, and the defending soldiers did not recognize him. Even if they had just caught a glimpse or two of him during the battle, they could not see clearly under the dark circumstances.
As a result, the formation of the second line of defense was suddenly scattered, and the soldiers all wanted to find Zuo Rong. When the enemy rushed up, the soldiers of the Western Camp with spears and steel spears didn't know which one to poke. Zuo Rong took advantage of the chaos and led his troops to rush away. A gap to escape the siege.
These things are a long story, but they actually happened very quickly, almost at the same time as Cao Zhi was attacked. Cao Zhi watched Zuo Rong break through and escape, feeling very upset in his heart. Although the defensive soldiers who had awakened from the siege detached a group of troops to pursue them. , and killed several Danyang soldiers who slipped through the net, but Cao Zhi was sure that Zuo Rong was not inside, because when Cao Zhi saw Zuo Rong's back, he was already at the edge of the defense line. When the defenders were called by Cao Zhi and dispersed, he The first one escaped from the defensive line and escaped faster than a rabbit.
There is no regret in the world, and Cao Zhi vented his anger on the remaining enemy troops. Cao Zhi's trembling eyes glanced at the Danyang soldiers gathered at the bottom of the slope, and gave the general's order not to defend the defense line. The two lines of defense soldiers shrank, and each row Hundreds of people lined up and rushed down after him.
The Danyang soldiers who were leaderless under the defense line looked at the enemy leaders on the slope leading the way, with blood dripping from the wounds on their backs. Their eyes were full of frightening looks, and they led rows of neat sergeants towards them. It started with They walked slowly step by step, each step made a noise, and each step seemed to step on their hearts, which made their inner panic aggravate. After walking about ten steps, they slowly accelerated and rushed towards them. The soldiers from Xiying have completely torn apart the inner defenses of the Danyang soldiers.
The ensuing battle became one-sided. After the first round of attacks killed several Danyang soldiers, the remaining Danyang soldiers were not interested in fighting and surrendered one after another.
Although Cao Zhi ran away from Zuo Rong and was angry in his heart, he was not the kind of cruel and bloodthirsty person. He stopped killing them when they surrendered. He could not do anything to slaughter the prisoners.
At dawn, all the battles in the canyon were over. The prisoners had their weapons confiscated, and after taking off their armor, they gathered outside the canyon. The cleanup work after the civil war in the canyon was being carried out in an orderly manner. In addition to the corpses, the intact weapons and armors were all useful The things that could not be wasted were cleared out one by one and gathered together. The war horses almost disappeared and none of them were captured. During the battle in the canyon, the war horses were frightened and ran wildly. As a result, they were either stoned to death or later killed. In the rain of arrows, he fell to the ground, unable to get up again, and slowly died. After doing this, the idle soldiers of the Western Camp gathered outside the valley to rest and eat some dry food.
Although they had worked hard all night, the faces of these soldiers were filled with the joy of victory. They were in a group of three or five, chatting about the details of the battle, and from time to time they made fun of the cowardly behavior of some new recruits during the battle.
A glimmer of light has appeared in the east, which means the beginning of a new day. Cao Zhi sat alone on the top of the slope, breathing the cold morning air. His wounds have been treated, but he still has waves of heartbreaking pain.
Cao Zhi is accustomed to summing up gains and losses after battles. Cao Zhi's canyon defenders lost more than 200 people in this battle and annihilated more than 1,600 enemy troops, including a Sima and a monument general, and captured the enemy troops.
More than 400 people. These results of the battle still satisfied Cao Zhi, but the loss of the enemy general Zuo Rong made Cao Zhi unable to let go for a long time.
Cao Zhi looked back at the end of the canyon, thinking about the outcome of the battle on Xu Chu's side. According to Cao An's report, the battle on Xu Chu's side ended earlier than theirs, and they also won a complete victory. However, the battle there was chaotic and the battlefield was quite tense.
It's so big that cleaning up takes some time.
At that time, Cao Zhi asked Cao An to return the order and asked Xu Chu to deploy some cavalry to reinforce the valley defenders here. They would go around the entire valley. Even the cavalry would take some time. Unexpectedly, the cavalry reinforcements had not arrived yet. The battle here was due to Zuo Rong's success.
Unexpected changes such as the breakout and Cao Zhi's proactive attack ended early.
Cao Zhi looked up at the broken stars and exhaled a white breath. As his thoughts wandered, there was a sound of iron hoofs outside the valley, and a group of eight hundred cavalrymen approached the bottom of the valley entrance. Cao Zhi took a closer look at the flags and military uniforms, which should be his troops.
Immediately at the foot of the valley, a sergeant came to greet him. Although the two parties were familiar with each other, due to military regulations, the two officers resolutely checked their waistbands. After explaining their intentions, the two soldiers mingled together and started talking and laughing.
There were a few with loud voices who spoke loudly.
"Why did you come for reinforcements? We finished the fight ourselves."
"Our end is not idle, we have killed the main force."
"My lord, mother, we have fewer people here. Hey! You must have gained a lot of benefits! I heard that Danyang is rich in soldiers..."
As Cao Zhi listened to the joking chatter of these soldiers, his eyes drifted to a soldier who was running up the slope. Only when he entered did he see his face clearly, it was Cao An.
At the beginning of the war, Cao Zhi ordered Cao An to lead three members of the detective team, who were responsible for passing orders, scouting horses, reporting military information, and traveling around the battlefield.
This boy played an indispensable role in this battle. At the beginning of the battle, it was this boy who accidentally discovered the enemy scouts who had sneaked into Liyang.
Coincidentally, when he was in Qiao County, Cao Zhi thought that Cao An was too young and thin, so he was included in the detective team that Cao Zhi trained personally and directly led, so that he could learn more skills and exercise.
Body.
The main responsibilities of the detective team are similar to that of the scouts; they are responsible for going deep behind enemy lines to conduct reconnaissance, subversion, sabotage and assassination operations. The training content is very different from that of the ancient scouts. Cao Zhi developed training topics based on the work content of modern criminal police, such as how to disguise one's identity
, but they can’t show off their flaws, they have to pretend to be various vendors, travel deep behind enemy lines to spy on military intelligence, subvert important enemy events or instigate important enemy personnel. Cao Zhi even taught them some sneaking skills.
Cao Zhi originally wanted to learn "Infernal Affairs" as a long-term plan based on the enemy's internal means and techniques. However, Zhou Xin had already taken the lead in attacking the enemy, and Cao Zhi's grand plan had not yet been implemented. Furthermore, Cao Zhi used his influence on modern times.
He has an understanding of the special forces, and has also participated in some special forces training topics, such as assassinations, destroying important enemy facilities, etc. The idea of training these people to become Three Kingdoms 007 is of course just a "conception".
