The terrain here is steep. The mountain walls on both sides are more than ten feet high. The middle path can only accommodate two riders in parallel. It is an excellent place to ambush halfway. Wenyuan led his troops to walk for more than 40 miles The mountain road. Finally, I chose this place as the place to ambush Cao Cao.
Just as Cao Cao could guess that Wen Yuan would definitely go back to Qingzhou by Kangfu's road. Wen Yuan was also sure that Cao Cao would definitely lead troops to chase after him when he learned that he was walking around the city today. Because Kangfu's city was so important. Losing Kang's father, Cao Cao lost the last chance to intercept himself. He was in a place and Wen Yuan would not want to give up. Wen Yuan believed that since Cao Cao had guessed his intention, he would definitely take the risk.
So he ordered Zhao Yun to go first with five thousand soldiers and horses. He left two thousand crossbowmen all over the sides to dodge. He just waited for Cao Cao's troops to appear. He borrowed Cao Cao's strategy yesterday and killed Cao Cao in one fell swoop.
Although it is crucial to seize Kang's father, how could Wenyuan forget the hatred of Zhou Cang's death in battle yesterday. After seeing Zhou Cang's scarred body last night, he vowed to fight for tooth and blood for blood. This time, it's Wen. The best opportunity far away.
He was fighting against the coldness. Suddenly, Zhao Yun beside him shouted: "Lord, Cao Bing is here. Should I take action now..."
Wen Yuan followed the direction Zhao Yun knew. Wen Yuan's eyes were far away at the end of the rugged, narrow winding mountain road. Sure enough, he saw a team of Cao Cao's cavalry. They were walking hard on the mountain road. The leader was under Cao Cao's command. General Xu Chu.
Wen Yuan observed carefully for a while and shook his head and whispered: "No matter he is, this is just a front army. The big fish coming from behind. As expected, Cao Cao will definitely be in the team. Don't ask him to escape at that time. I want to fight blood for blood and teeth for teeth. Cao Cao killed Zhou Cang. I want him to pay his life."
Sure enough, a little later, another cavalryman approached from a distance. The scale of this cavalryman was obviously much larger than the scale he had just passed. The team held up the Cao banner. One of them was wearing a big red cloak. .White face and long beard. Riding on a divine white horse, it was Cao Cao.
A burning light flashed in Wen Yuan's eyes. He murmured: "Please prepare for the order. I will listen to my order later. Shoot and kill the white horse... Cao Cao. Today I will let you taste the way of him and give him the way. The taste of the body.”
On the mountain wall, two thousand crossbowmen had made their final preparations. Cao Jun on the mountain road plunged into the ambush circle set up by Wenyuan without knowing it.
"Uncle, the terrain of this valley is dangerous. I am afraid there will be a military army. Should I send someone to search the mountain walls on both sides?" While advancing, Cao Anmin drove his horse to Cao Cao and bowed his hands and said.
Cao Cao looked up and saw that the mountain walls on both sides were more than ten feet high. The bushes on the mountain were lush and the army was hiding. The narrowest part of the mountain road was only allowed to travel in parallel. It was indeed a dangerous place to set up an ambush.
Cao Cao was also a little hesitant. If the Jizhou army set up an ambush on both sides of this mountain road, the more than 2,000 cavalry under his command would die without a place to bury him. However, it is the right thing to do to get to Kangfu as soon as possible. Although he would take some risks, he would not care about that. There are so many things. Besides, Xu Chu was clearly fine just now. Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little lucky in his heart.
Cao Cao pondered for a while and said, "Don't worry about so many things. The whole army accelerates its progress and passes through this valley as soon as possible."
Although Cao Anmin was worried, he had no choice but to order the army to continue moving forward.
On the mountain wall, Wen Yuan watched Cao's sudden stop a hundred steps before entering the ambush circle. He also thought that Cao Cao saw through the clues. He felt a tightening in his heart. Fortunately, Cao's army continued to move forward not long after. I only breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Yuan gently buckled the arrow, staring at Cao Cao, who was riding a white horse and wearing a conspicuous cloak, just waiting for his prey to enter the range.
Waiting is always extremely painful. Cao Cao seemed to feel the strange atmosphere around him. He looked up at the mountain walls on both sides. At this moment, he heard a "buzzing" sound of the bowstring. Then a black sharp arrow He roared at himself with a faint black track.
The arrow was fast and fierce. Cao Cao heard the sound and saw the trajectory of the shooting just now. However, he could not dodge it. The wolf-toothed heavy arrow almost penetrated Cao Cao's breast-protecting iron armor piece and pierced into Cao Cao's body. He fell to the ground from his horse with a scream.
"There is an ambush. Protect the lord." Cao Anmin, who was guarding the side, couldn't help but shout in surprise when he saw Cao Cao fall. More than a dozen tiger guards immediately supported a large shield to block the surroundings. The next moment, the mountain wall suddenly seemed to turn out out of thin air. There were countless crossbowmen appearing densely. Then a sound of buzzing and vibrating bowstrings sounded.
Wen Yuan stood up long and just now he shot an arrow and felt that he should have hit him. He just didn't know if he hit the vital point.
Cao Cao was either dead or injured. How could he give up such a good opportunity easily? Changgong pointed and shouted loudly: "Cum for me. Shoot hard."
For a time, hundreds of arrows poured out to the Cao soldiers in the valley like heavy rain. Most of these cavalry were wearing light armor. How could they withstand such dense rain of arrows? Hundreds of casualties were killed and killed in the blink of an eye. The people and Cao soldiers were in chaos, rushing to escape and escape. However, the valley road was narrow. The narrowest part could only accommodate two riders in parallel. It was not so easy to escape. For a moment, screams and curses in the valley came one after another. The huge valley was The valley was covered with blood and corpses were everywhere, as if it was hell on earth.
"Quick. Get out... Get out." Cao Cao was supported by Cao Anmin and retreated in the crowded riots. He was hit by an arrow in his right chest. Fortunately, his armor removed most of his strength. He only entered The flesh was three points, and it did not hurt the internal organs. However, even so, the pain of the tearing made Cao Cao feel cold.
"Zhang Liao. You learned so quickly." Looking at the Yanzhou soldiers who were constantly being shot off by sharp arrows, Cao Cao felt that his heart was full of bitterness and hard to swallow. At this time yesterday, he was still fighting in Changyi Wengcheng. Zhang Liao ambushed him. As a result, the situation turned around in just one day. The middle-aged man turned into himself. The hunter and prey completed a three hundred and sixty-degree transposition.
This Zhang Liao is as powerful as a tiger and as cunning as a fox. He is already so scheming now. If he returns to Jizhou, who else can be an enemy of him?
But now there is no time to think about the future. It is better to escape quickly. Cao Cao put aside his chaotic thoughts and gritted his teeth and squeezed back with Cao Anmin's support.
Although he was ambushed, the mountain roads at both ends of the valley were not closed by the Jizhou army. You can still escape. If Wen Yuan used huge rocks to block the passages at both ends of the valley, today Cao Cao's more than 2,000 cavalry would be buried here.
