The cold wind blew, and the air conditioner hit the crowd.
Cao Ren's mood was as cold as the weather at this time.
In a row, Ma Chao's army had more than 100,000 people. How could there be thousands of people running away? Cao Renman thought that Ma Chao would gather his troops and turn around to attack him. In this way, he could lure Ma Chao back to Chen with him.
Stay and use city defense to defeat Ma Chao. It is best to achieve outstanding results and wash away the shame of his previous defeat in Guandu.
But who would have thought that the sun rose and the sun set. After two days, Cao Ren had scattered dozens of miles of horses and horses, but he could not see any signs of troops gathering here. Not only that, even Cao Ren had known the traces before,
The Ma Chao army that had not had time to clean up was now quickly away from Cao Ren's location, and there was no sign of revenge for friendly forces.
Cao Ren doesn’t understand, what does this mean? How can anyone ignore the life and death of his own troops like this?
It's no wonder Cao Ren doesn't understand. After all, Cao Ren is a professional and studies regular military strategy. Of course, he couldn't have imagined that the internal chaos and factions of Ma Chao's army had reached an uncontrollable level.
Now Ma Chao's troops have been clearly divided into three factions. Ma Chao's own 30,000 people are a faction. It is also the power that Ma Chao believes most and cares about. In addition, Yang Feng and Yu Du are the two men,
They also formed a faction. Among them, Yang Feng's faction has a force of more than 300,000, while Yu Du's faction has a force of more than 200,000.
However, although Yang Feng had the largest number of people in these three sects, the strongest was Yu Du. After all, under the leadership of Yang Feng, Yang Feng's troops have always avoided the encirclement of powerful enemies and did not fight
What kind of tough battles did Yu Du's troops fight with Cao Cao for countless times and were eventually driven away by Cao Cao.
However, although Yu Du and Yang Feng's two factions have many people, their control over the faction is far inferior to Ma Chao.
Just like Na Kui Mulang, Yan An and other seven leading leaders sent by Ma Chao, they are problematic figures that are difficult to suppress even Yang Feng and Yu Du. So Ma Chao took this under the suggestion of Yang Feng and Yu Du.
The seven guys were separated. Among them, the five leaders, Kui Mulang, Yan An, Zhang Deshou, Che Bao, and Wang Biao, were eliminated from the Yang Feng faction. And the other two restless guys
, it was eliminated from the faction Yu Du.
In addition to the seven leaders' confidants, these seven troops that were diverted out by Ma Chao also concentrated all the elderly, weak, sick and disabled in the army, as well as the people who have been recently entangled in the army.
In addition to the 150,000 soldiers and horses of Ma Chao's headquarters, except for the 30,000 regular army under Ma Chao, the rest of the remaining soldiers, the 70,000 soldiers and Yang Feng's 50,000 soldiers were all the same young and strong, and all the leading generals were in charge.
, those are all Yang Feng and Yu Bu's absolute confidants.
Therefore, although Ma Chao was forced to divide his troops, it actually gave Ma Chao an opportunity to disguise his troops.
Therefore, for Ma Chao, Cao Ren destroyed the two so-called troops of Ma Chao, and Ma Chao did not feel any regret at all. Instead, he secretly thanked Cao Ren for letting him go.
And Yang Feng and Yu Du would not care about it. Since they were the generals who were separated, they were dissidents who were not completely in the same mind as him. If they died, they would die. What's more, the two troops that Cao Ren destroyed,
They are the two units with the most recruits. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone so slowly and were easily marked by Cao Ren. Therefore, Yang Feng and Yu Du had no regrets about this. They just wanted to follow Ma Chao to arrive in Qingzhou early and occupy Qingzhou
, Ping safely and smoothly completed the bleaching process of transforming from a bandit into a regular army.
Therefore, Ma Chao, Yang Feng, and Yu Du all didn't say anything about it, and they ran away and fought sports wars with all their hearts. The other diversion troops that were far away from Cao Ren were even less sure what had happened. And the only thing they knew was that there were pursuers who appeared.
Zhang Deshou's troops, without the support of the main force, should they run away quickly and wait for Cao Ren to be wiped out?
Therefore, this situation that confused Cao Ren was born.
Although Cao Ren was puzzled by this, the war still had to continue. Moreover, Cao Hong, who was irritated, urged his brother Cao Ren to send troops to pursue him eight times a day.
So, Cao Ren finally made up his mind, no matter why he was. Since Ma Chao couldn't come out to fight him, he would defeat him one by one and fight until Ma Chao couldn't stand it and came out to fight him.
Cao Ren, who made up his mind, continued to send a visitor to find out the main traces of Ma Chao's troops further away; while setting up camps and pursuing Zhang Deshou's troops.
Although Zhang Deshou's troops had run two days in advance, since Zhang Deshou's troops could be discovered by Cao Ren at the same time when he discovered Kui Mulang and Yan An. It can be imagined that Zhang Deshou's troops' march ability is the same as those two useless troops.
It's level. Although Zhang Deshou felt a sense of crisis and tried his best to urge the troops to move forward quickly, those troops that had just transformed from peasants could withstand this kind of training-like advance? Even Zhang Deshou's direct troops did not have
After the baptism of blood and fire in the remnant army, the marching was also unbearable.
In addition, Zhang Deshou just wanted to escape quickly so that he could catch up with the large army as soon as possible and seek safety. There was no business in two days. The surplus grain in the army was about to end, and these poor troops who were hungry and cold were running all over, running away.
After two days, he finally couldn't run anymore. Even if Zhang Deshou sent someone to whip it, it would be useless.
Zhang Deshou had to slow down the pace of the team and find a suitable target to replenish supplies. The only thing that made Zhang Deshou feel a little relieved and lucky was that Cao Ren's pursuit was not found behind the troops.
However, Zhang Deshou's good luck came to this point. After Cao Ren waited foolishly for two days, he chased after him. With the marching speed of Cao Ren's elite troops, chasing Zhang Deshou's snail crawling troops, isn't that just like eating.
Like a dish.
Soon, Cao Ren caught up with Zhang Deshou's army. However, Cao Ren discovered that this army was obviously much more cautious than before, and after the night, there were also guard posts.
However, Cao Ren, through the combat effectiveness of the troops assessed by the last two battles, knew that the guys in front of him were still a group of mobs, not much better than ordinary people.
So, after catching up with Zhang Deshou's troops, Cao Ren took a short rest and then launched an attack on Zhang Deshou's troops.
At this time, Zhang Deshou's troops were still marching. Although Zhang Deshou's troops set up some observation personnel, under Cao Ren's rapid assault, it was not very useful. Before the provocateurs could run to Zhang Deshou to report. Cao Ren's
The troops had already reached the tail of Zhang Deshou's troops.
Zhang Deshou's rear army was in chaos at that time. This chaos also affected the central army and front troops of Zhang Deshou's troops. With the army of scattered military discipline like Zhang Deshou, it could rush forward when it was prevailing and form huge destructive power.
When the wind falls, it will scatter and escape.
At this time, Zhang Deshou encountered this situation.
Fifty thousand people have troops, although on the books, the Yellow Turban troops, which can be millions at every turn, are not a big number. However, in this reality, it is boundless. Especially in this marching, four people are in a row.
Then it will be even more lined up for several miles. The head of the team cannot see the tail of the team.
As a result, everyone only knew that the chaos in Zhang Deshou's army was coming. How many enemy troops were there? But no one knew.
The unknown is always the most terrifying. What's more, the soldiers of Zhang Deshou's army are all for a meal, and no one really wants to give their lives here. Of course, they scattered with one cry.
The fleeing crowd even blocked Zhang Deshou's direct troops from supporting the rear army. Zhang Deshou was so angry that he cursed endlessly. However, the defeat had already been achieved, and Zhang Deshou also wanted to escape with the army.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
At this time, Cao Hong had already rushed to the central army with his troops like a rush. The whereabouts of Zhang Deshou who stopped him.
When Zhang Deshou saw it, he was furious and the nature of the outlaws was aroused. He roared, waved the sky fork and rushed towards Cao Hong.
Originally, if Zhang Deshou threw away his weapons and took off his armor and mixed in the chaos, he might be able to escape. However, Zhang Deshou was born in a rampant family and not only had his own desperation, but he was even more gambled. He saw Cao Hong's armor was beautiful.
The entourage beside him followed him, and there was obviously a leading general. Zhang Deshou wanted to kill Cao Hong and turn defeat into victory.
Unfortunately, Zhang Deshou overestimated his military power. Who is Cao Hong? Cao Cao's famous general. Even with Pang De's courage, he can't say that he will win against Cao Hong.
Now Zhang Deshou yelled and rushed over, which was a reminder to Cao Hong. It made Cao Hong notice Zhang Deshou.
Cao Hong laughed loudly, urged the horse to welcome Zhang Deshou. The two cavalry generals advanced, and Cao Hong cut off Huashan with one knife. Zhang Deshou raised the sky fork and returned.
Unfortunately, Zhang Deshou's fork was a wooden pole. Although the wood was strong, the thickness of the duck egg, and it was soaked in oil, it was fine for ordinary people to block any weapon. But now Cao Hong's phoenix tail knife
However, it is made of pure steel, and the knife head is even more large. With one knife, Zhang Deshou immediately cut it into two ends.
This time, Zhang Deshou's troops ran even more happily. In the end, the troops led by Cao Ren and Cao Hong stopped killing less than Wu Qian's troops and captured more than 10,000 people. The rest fled in scattered and could not pursue them. This was also
This made Cao Ren and Cao Hong open their eyes again.
However, because Zhang Deshou's troops escaped too many times this time, many Zhang Deshou's confidants were mixed with, but unexpectedly caused great trouble to Ma Chao.
