Less than ten miles away from Wuchao Camp, Cao Hong was leading the remaining hundreds of soldiers to persist. Although there were only 5,000 cavalry soldiers to support Wuchao Camp, it was already fatal to Cao's army.
It's right.
He had already encountered Han Meng before he could choose a battlefield. Cao Hong led a thousand soldiers and horses to rush forward without any hesitation, colliding with five thousand reinforcements and cavalry.
The advantages of the cavalry in the wilderness with open terrain were maximized. One thousand Cao soldiers suffered hundreds of casualties, which could be considered half of the casualties.
With such heavy casualties, Cao Hong did not continue to choose to fight Han Meng head-on, but led the remaining hundreds of soldiers to lead Han Meng, the 5,000 cavalrymen from their original direction.
Originally, he was worried about whether these reinforcements would choose to pursue them in the rear, but when the cavalry behind him turned their horses and rushed towards him and others, Cao Hong breathed a sigh of relief, although he knew that the remaining troops were not enough to resist the cavalry,
But we can only try our best to delay time.
After one and a half hours of running around, only 300 soldiers were left, and these 300 were exhausted at this time and struggled to resist the attack of the five thousand cavalrymen.
Three hundred people were surrounded by five thousand people on a small hillside, and five thousand cavalrymen were screaming and running back and forth. The general Han Meng, led, looked excited at this moment, nothing
It excites him even more than pursuing the enemy.
Han Meng was not unaware of these Cao soldiers deliberately lured them out of Wuchao, but the other party's commander was Cao Hong, who was one of Cao Cao's many generals. As long as Cao Hong was captured, it would be a great achievement.
As for whether the food and grass in Wuchao will be burned by Cao's soldiers, Han Meng never doubted this. With Chunyu Qiong's strength, 20,000 troops and horses, it is enough to annihilate the Cao's soldiers who attacked Wuchao camp, and instead of rushing him.
After going to Wuchao, I gained nothing, so it would be better to take the opportunity to take Cao Hong to receive the reward.
"Roar up and take Cao Hong down." Looking at the exhausted Cao Bing on the hillside, Han Meng shouted loudly.
With Han Meng shouting, hundreds of soldiers jumped off the horse and headed towards the hillside. Although horses on this hillside could rush up, the rain of bows and arrows shot from the hillside was easy to rush them.
After trying it a few times, Han Meng had no choice but to give up and rushed forward.
Looking at Yuan Bing rushing down the mountain, Cao Hong had no choice but to sigh that the arrows on the mountain were getting fewer and fewer, and he would be able to be slaughtered by others.
While ordering to save arrows, Cao Hong stood up and held the long knife and stared coldly at the foot of the mountain. He looked at the soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and shouted in a deep voice: "Shoot the arrow!"
Swallowing...
There were not many arrows shot out, only about ten, but these arrows accurately shot Yuan Bing in the front, and none of them fell to nothing. They looked at the ones who were halfway up in satisfaction.
Yuan soldier, Cao Hong also breathed a sigh of relief.
He picked out more than ten soldiers who were good at shooting among the three hundred people, and then concentrated all the arrows to provide more than ten people's shootings, but the result was greatly beyond his expectations.
Although the rest of the people shot few arrows, they were more accurate and threatened the Yuan Bing. Therefore, whenever Cao Hong shouted to shoot arrows, the Yuan Bing on the hillside would be unable to make progress.
This time, it was no exception. More than ten arrows instantly took the lives of more than ten soldiers in front of him. The soldiers in the rear were no longer willing to move forward. The shooting was so accurate at such a long distance. If they were rushing up
Wouldn't it be a death sentence?
"If you disobey the order and fail to forward, kill!" Han Meng, who was big on the hillside, shouted with a gloomy face. As Han Meng shouted, a young general stood up and urged the soldiers to come forward, killing more than ten soldiers.
After that, Yuan soldiers rushed towards the hillside again.
"Shoot the arrow!" Cao Hong shouted again.
Swallowing......
More than ten feather arrows rushed away, killing several young generals who were urging their soldiers to come forward. Yuan Bing once again fell into chaos.
"Bastard!" Han Meng roared angrily, turned his head to look at more than ten confidants beside him. When Han Meng saw that more than ten people bowed their heads and said nothing about such a short distance, they were not sure that they could avoid the feather arrow.
"Extinguish the torch and rush again!" Han Meng shouted in a deep voice.
In an instant, all the torches on the hillside were extinguished, leaving only more than a hundred torches at the top of the hillside. While Han Meng ordered the torches to be extinguished, Cao Hong also ordered the torches to be extinguished, and the entire hillside quickly fell into darkness.
Screams sounded from time to time in the darkness, but no one knew what was going on. As for whether the screams were from Yuan Bing or Cao Bing, it was even more unpredictable.
Half an hour later, the screams gradually weakened, and Han Meng ordered the torch to light up again. In the past half hour, he had sent a thousand soldiers to rush up the hillside one after another. Even if life was exchanged for life, it would be enough to turn the hillside.
The Cao soldiers above were wiped out.
The torches all over the mountain were lit again, and the entire hillside was bare, and more than ten figures stood on the top of the mountain, which was extremely dazzling. Han took a deep breath and a thousand people were lost. Cao Bing on the hillside
There are less than twenty people left.
"Take it down!" He was startled and angry at first, and then he saw Cao Hong standing on the mountain. Han Meng shouted slightly and sternly.
"No." Hundreds of soldiers rushed up the mountain, trying to capture Cao Hong and others.
Looking at the soldiers rushing up, Cao Hong smiled bitterly. With the remaining more than ten people, how could he withstand the final attack? He looked up at Wuchao. Cao Hong sighed, now he could only delay the lord.
After a quarter of an hour, Cao Hong thought of taking up his long sword again and looking at the soldiers rushing up.
boom!
"kill!"
Soon, more than ten people were surrounded by hundreds of Yuan Bings, and Cao Hong roared and rushed towards Yuan Bings.
boom!
At this moment, a ball of fire suddenly appeared in the darkness in the distance, extremely dazzling. Then the ball of fire spread into a huge fire in an instant, spreading the entire sky, illuminating the night, even if it was
Cao Hong could see clearly several miles apart.
"Success!" Cao Hong was stunned at first, then he was filled with ecstasy. The efforts of a thousand people were not in vain, and the two hours of persistence were not in vain. The lord finally successfully burned down the Wuchao camp.
"What is that?"
"Isn't that the direction of Wuchao Camp? How could a fire be ignited?"
"What happened to Wuchao Camp? Why did it suddenly catch a fire?"
A series of discussion sounded, and thousands of Yuan soldiers all looked at the surging flames with blank expressions, constantly guessing what was going on.
Han Meng at the foot of the mountain looked at the sudden fire. He was initially incredible, then looked frightened. He had no time to take care of Cao Hong and others on the mountain, and quickly ordered the army to retreat, and then regardless of whether the army had not yet assembled.
First rush towards Wuchao Camp.
………………………………………………………………………………
The fire is surging, and even in the dark, you can see the extremely strong black smoke. The entire camp is shrouded in the fire. This camp was originally a place for storing food and grass, although it has been done in all kinds of things.
but the fire was still not able to stop the man-made fire.
The dazzling fire illuminated the entire camp and its surroundings. A soldier on the empty field raised his head blankly at the unexpected fire.
Lost! Lost!
After the initial confusion, a soldier Yuan looked at the fire in dismay, without the courage to put life and death just now.
The guarding of the camp here was originally their glory, but at this time this glory no longer exists and falls forever with the flames.
The guarding of food and grass was originally the least attractive job, because the guarding of food and grass was destined to stay in the rear, unable to go to battle to kill the enemy, unable to have an army, and unable to be promoted, and even more unable to shine the family and honor the ancestors.
However, this time the food and grass of hundreds of thousands of troops are of great importance. Keeping food and grass has become a great job. As long as the food and grass are not lost, one of their own will be rewarded after the victory. Therefore, countless people in Jizhou are fighting for this
After an errand, Yuan Shao finally chose Chunyu Qiong’s 20,000 people, on the one hand, because Chunyu Qiong, and on the other hand, because they were all veterans, and everyone went through a cruel war.
They were also proud of it at the beginning, but at this time this pride was trampled on by the invitation, and they could only watch it.
If you lose, you will still lose!
Chunyu Qiong, who was at the camp gate, looked at the flames that swallowed the sky and the earth in the camp with a depressed look on his face. At the moment when the five hundred tigers and leopards appeared, he expected the end of this battle. At that time, he only
Reinforcements need to arrive as soon as possible, and to cooperate inside and outside to kill all Cao soldiers, but at this time this expectation was dashed.
Yuan Bing did not appear for more than two hours from beginning to end, which made Chunyu Qiong feel the urge to destroy me. It took two hours forty miles to go. According to speculation, reinforcements should have arrived long ago, but they have been nowhere to be seen.
trace.
Even if Cao Cao ambushed halfway, Yuan soldiers sent by Yuan Shao's power should have arrived long ago.
"General." Just as Chunyu Qiong was about to die, a voice came over.
"Hmm?" Chunyu Qiong turned his head and saw a scout walking quickly. Chunyu Qiong was surprised at first, then shook his head and sighed.
"General, General Zhang He's scout had already discovered Cao Cao's troops and reported the news to Ming Gong, but Ming Gong believed in the opinions of Guo Tu and others and sent a hundred thousand troops to attack Cao Cao's camp, but only sent him to the station.
Han Meng led 5,000 troops to help, but Han Meng had already arrived near Wuchao, but he kept entangled with Cao Hong and did not help. General, this battle was not the responsibility of the general, but it was Guo Tu and Han Meng.
The guilt of others."
"Are you serious?" Chunyu Qiong said in surprise.
"This is true. Now that Wuchao is burned, Han Meng will definitely turn all the blame on the general. The general and his subordinates and others will also be implicated. Please ask the general to rush to the camp as soon as possible.
, report the truth to Mingming Gong to prevent Guo Tu, Han Meng and others from turning the blame."
Chunyu Qiong's expression changed a few times, and finally nodded and rushed towards Yuan Shao's camp with dozens of soldiers.
