Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 124

In order to escape, Hu Yanzhuo galloped on his horse and hurt many civilians. Shi Xiu was already angry, but when he saw that a big leader of Liangshan was killed, he became more and more angry, and shouted: "The dog thief who was defeated by my brother, dare to act fiercely here? "

He raised his knife, split the shaft of the car, pulled out a rough horse pulling a cart, jumped up, rode on the saddleless horse, and Polala chased after it.

When Xue Yong saw him, he was anxious: "Although he is defeated, he still has a lot of troops. Wouldn't it be death for you to chase him alone?"

Turned around twice on the spot, gritted his teeth and said: "Brother sent two of me together, we can't let him go alone."

As he said that, he also untied a rough horse and rode to chase Shi Xiu.

When Bao Xu saw this, he couldn't help being respectful, and said: "He has such a strong sense of loyalty, he is really a hero, and I will go to help a bunch of people."

He and Liu Tang were busy untying their horses when they suddenly heard the sound of hooves, and turned their heads to see that it was Cao Cao Chao Gai who came with his men on galloping horses, Hua Rong, Luan Tingyu and other generals also rode along.

Seeing Daxi, Liu Tang hurriedly pointed out: "Hu Yanzhuo didn't escape very far, because he shot Wang Daoren to death, Shi Xiu and Xue Yong chased after him all the way, and we are about to go too."

Cao Cao ran non-stop and shouted: "It will be a great achievement for you to bring the baggage and prisoners back to the village."

After running for a distance, at an intersection, dozens of officers, soldiers and iron cavalry were fighting around Shi Xiu and Xue Yong. Both of their horses were shot down. , it was the "Tianmu General" Peng Qi who was wounded by the arrow.

Seeing Cao Cao and others chasing him, Peng Qi gritted his teeth angrily, pointing his fingers and yelling: "Treasonous bandits, who have won by luck, are you still going after them?"

Wielding a three-pointed and two-edged knife with one hand, he urged his horse to kill Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was not afraid, and he stood up to meet him. Lin Chong and others went to rescue Shi Xiu and Xue Yong.

Cao Cao fought for three or four times here, swept the lance horizontally, and swept a celestial eye general into the dust, raised the lance to his neck and asked, "Seeing that you are injured, and you don't want to kill me, just tell me where Hu Yanzhuo went?" ?”

Peng Qi turned his head angrily and said: "The people who hide their heads and show their tails, kill them if they want to."

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, and said: "I am Song Jiang, 'Timely Rain', the master of the second village in Liangshan. I only wear this mask because I got a gold seal on my face."

Peng Qi said: "So you are Song Jiang! But don't expect me to tell you the whereabouts of the general."

At this time, Lin Chong's fierce tigers killed dozens of cavalry in the rear of the palace, and reported back: "The wounded soldier confessed, and Hu Yanzhuo fled the defeated soldiers to Yuncheng County."

Chao Gai is a native of Yun County. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "This is not too far from Yuncheng County. If we chase after it, we will reach the city. The county must send troops to rescue. Although he is not afraid of his local soldiers and archers, the county's Zhu Dian, Lei Heng has both heads, but he is our brother, how can we fight him?"

Seeing this, Cao Cao nodded and said: "Hu Yanzhuo was ordered to crusade, and now he has not only failed, but also lost troops and generals. I don't think he dare to return lightly. Since the Duke of Yun County has an old relationship with the King of Heaven, I will go back to the village first and wait for him. Come to die."

Immediately beating gongs and drums, and returning to the village, Song Jiang, Wu Yong and the remaining leaders all came to welcome them, and everyone counted the casualties: infantry went out to battle, and more than people were lost, most of them were killed by horses when Hu Yanzhuo returned to the army.One thousand three hundred horse troops went out to battle, and two or three hundred were lost, most of them were killed by random arrows.

Chao Gai immediately ordered that the generals who died in battle be buried in a secluded place in the back mountain, and those who were injured were treated by doctors, and those who were disabled would stay in the village to do some chores and support him for life.

Looking at the results of the battle, there were horsemen, more than escaped, and the rest killed , captured more than , and got more than good horses in armor.

The 400-step army killed half of them. They scattered people in the forest, and captured people.Two or three thousand civilians, officers and soldiers rammed and trampled more than a thousand people to death, and the rest were captured alive.

In addition, there are more than a thousand pairs of vests, some knives, guns, food and grass, and some rough horses and mules that have not been burned.

Calculated, it was a big victory.

Lin Chong looked at those vests and said overjoyedly: "These vests add up to pairs. After stripping off the iron armor of the surrendered soldiers, plus the cottage's own, they can also pull up an armored cavalry."

All the leaders were overjoyed when they heard this.

Cao Cao was also very happy, and said: "This armored cavalry must be practiced, and let Coach Lin practice it. If there are not enough horses, I still have a lot of horses in Shi'er Mountain. I can make up for it. There is only one thing: don't ride it. Expose it easily, so that Song Ting would not be alarmed, and sent troops to ask for it early. Besides, this kind of heavy cavalry is invincible when used well, but it has many shortcomings, so it should only be reserved as a trump card."

After this battle was fought, Cao Cao made a plan, made a decision before the battle, and took the lead in the charge. All of them were far superior to others. Chao Tianwang became more and more subdued. Hearing this, he immediately said: "Brother Wu said, the decision is good! Brother Lin, You train this soldier well, hide it first, and it will be of great use.”

Lin Chong gritted his teeth and said, "I heard Jiang Bing say: These vests and iron armors were given to Hu Yanzhuo by the old thief Gao Qi. In the future, when I take this heavy horse and take the old thief's head, I will thank him for giving it to me first." Bing Jia's grace."

Cao Cao heard this, and said loudly: "Okay! A man is happy to be kind and enmity, as it should be!"

Walking a few steps closer, wanting to talk to Lin Chong, he suddenly turned his eyes, let out a "huh", stretched out his hand to touch the copper ring on the side of the vest, and said, "What is this?"

After seeing seven or eight horses in a row, there were copper rings the size of tea bowls on the left and right sides of the vest, which were tightly fastened to the armor.

Seeing that Cao Cao's expression was wrong, everyone gathered around to look at it. Most of them didn't know him, but it was Wu Yong who said "Ouch" and said: "I used to read history books, it is recorded that Wu Mourning King Ran Min fought against the former Yan general Murong Ke. In ten battles, the Yan army was defeated. Murong Ke remained calm in the face of danger, and set up a trick to lure Ran Min in, but he chose 5000 people who were good at shooting, connected the horses with iron chains, and marched forward in a square formation, advancing like a solid wall. The arrows shot like rain, Ran Min was defeated, and the country was destroyed. This is called a series of horses!"

After hearing this, Chao Gai and others couldn't help but become pale when imagining the scene of the iron horses like a wall, criss-crossing the battlefield.Song Jiang shouted: "there are more than a thousand people who escaped from Hu Yanzhuo, all of whom are armored horses and heavy riders, and they are bound to attack again. How can we stop them?"

Chao Gai snorted coldly: "Since the military master has seen through his details, what is there to be afraid of? At worst, I'll put on some iron chains and put on a vest to link them together, and everyone will fight against each other."

Lin Chong exclaimed: "Brother, don't do it! In this way, the casualties will be heavy. The court has many soldiers and horses, so it doesn't necessarily feel bad. If I, Liangshan, lose this iron cavalry, where can I find a second one?"

Then everyone discussed a lot, they all said that apart from using strength to break strength, it would be impossible to defeat his serial horse.

Cao Cao frowned and said, "Capture his two vanguards, and bring them up for questioning." Suddenly remembered something, and said to Song Jiang: "Brother Gongming, I should not reveal Xingzang, so when I captured Peng Qi, I reported you. The name is taboo." After that, he took off the mask, put it on Song Jiang's face and said, "For the sake of my brother's escape for a while, my brother only asked him, since he has a chain horse, why didn't he use it?"

Before Song Jiang could react, Cao Cao turned around and retreated into the crowd, but he was never seen again.

Not long after, both Han Tao and Peng Qi were kidnapped by Wu Hua Da.Song Jiang rushed to meet him, shouted back the escorting sergeant, untied the rope himself, and bowed respectfully.

Han Tao and Peng Qi were shocked, they knelt down and saluted quickly: "The last general will be captured, and he will die if he makes sense, why do you worship us instead?"

Song Jiang helped the two of them up and said: "A certain group of people, because they were persecuted by treacherous ministers and had nowhere to go, so they temporarily occupied the water park and took refuge for a while. Now the imperial court sends generals to arrest them. They should be tied up. I'm afraid they won't survive. Boldly confronting, to the point of offending Huwei, daring to beg for forgiveness."

Han Tao said: "Ah, I didn't expect your honor to be so reasonable, I would like to ask for your name!"

Song Jiangdao: "Xiao Ke's surname is Song Mingjiang and the word Gongming."

There are different teachings: Gongming captured the enemy general on horseback, and Peng Qi bowed his hands to worship Song Jiang.Wu used erudition to talk about the old history, and Meng De's armor was hidden in his chest.
