Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 141

In Dengyun Mountain, the night was dark, about two o'clock.

Tents one after another, like mushrooms one after another, are scattered in the mountains and forests.

Some mushrooms are silent, while braziers are lit inside some, giving off a slight translucent light, which gives the mountain forest a different kind of beauty.

Cao Cao carried a hatchet in his hand, and went around the camp, but when he saw the clear post and the secret post, they could not help but nodded secretly.

Back in the account, there was a bonfire, Qin Ming, Deng Fei, Xiang Chong, Li Gun, and Niu Gao stood up and said, "Brother is back."

Cao Cao waved his hand to let them sit down, and said with a smile: "Qin Ming trained troops on Mount Lion's Ear, and the results have already been seen. This kind of soldiers are not comparable to ordinary cottages. After a few battles, they will be the capital of a powerful army."

Qin Ming was overjoyed when he heard this, and clasped his fists together and said, "Thank you, brother, for your compliment." Seeing Cao Cao frown slightly, he asked, "But what's wrong? Let my brother worry."

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "I think there will be cloudless clouds and no moon tonight. I'm afraid there will be a good rain, and then it will be difficult to fight. This Zongze is not a good person. If he can't leave the city in a hurry, I'm afraid there will be delays."

Qin Ming hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Cao Cao smiled and said, "Brother, if there is something to do, it's okay to say it."

Qin Ming hesitated and said: "It's not a big deal, I just think, that Zongze, big brother..."

"You mean, do I value Zong Ze too much?" Cao Cao knew what he meant.

Qin Ming nodded slightly: "That guy has been a civil servant all his life, and he has never led a soldier. I'm afraid he has never even entered a barracks. Even if he has practiced some martial arts at home, the ability to lead an army does not depend on martial arts."

Cao Cao was about to rest, but was aroused by his words, sat up straight and said, "Let's tell a story! It was the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xiliang Dong Zhuo was in chaos, and the th princes met to discuss and discuss the country's traitors. Dong Zhuo The general Hua Xiong was ordered to guard the Hulao Pass. Hua Xiong was so brave that he single-handedly beheaded many of the feudal vassals, making all the allied soldiers terrified. At this moment, a horse archer stepped forward. , invited Ying to fight. Many princes thought that his status was low and that he was undermining his majesty, so they reprimanded him one after another, but it was Cao Gong Mengde who strongly advocated, giving him a pair of armor to cover his heart, and pouring hot wine to strengthen his demeanor."

It is not easy to listen to stories these days, and several people were fascinated by them immediately. Deng Fei exclaimed: "What an extravagant cover, Mr. Cao. The so-called knowing heroes and valuing heroes, why can't others do their best?" Qin Ming said: " Although his courage is commendable, after all, with a horse archer, he can defeat the enemy general of Xiliang?" Niu Gao said: "Don't underestimate the horse archer, maybe he has extraordinary shooting skills, and plotted against the enemy general?"

Cao Cao looked at the fire, showing a trace of nostalgic smile: "The man was not surprised by favor or shame, and said indifferently: Thank you, Mr. Cao, for giving me the wine. Let's pour the wine. When I kill Hua Xiong, I will drink it when I come back."

The five people praised in unison: "What a tough guy!"

Qin Ming rubbed his hands together nervously: "I hope this person doesn't die! With such pride, there will be no bright future in the future?"

Cao Cao said: "The man went out of the tent, got on his horse and raised his sword, and went to fight Huaxiong. All the princes were in the tent, and they heard the drums beating loudly in front of the battle, and the soldiers shouted like a tide, as if the earth was falling and the sky was falling. His expression changed, and he was about to go out of the tent to see why, when the curtain was lifted, the horse archer came in proudly, threw Hua Xiong's head on the ground, stared down at the seat, without saying a word, took the wine and drank it, the wine was still warm. "

Qin Ming paled and said: "What a strange man! He is at the bottom of the ranks, and he does not lose the courage of a hero, but Qin has underestimated the hero!"

Niu Gao said fascinatedly: "It's so majestic, so majestic." As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes and raised his chin, obviously imitating others' "staring down at the seat", Xiang Chong said angrily: "If you look at me with your nostrils again, I will Smack your nostrils."

Deng Fei enviously said: "This person is indeed not an ordinary person. He has been treated favorably by Duke Cao. I expect him to follow Duke Cao's example and fight for him in all directions."

Cao Cao smiled wryly and said, "If so, wouldn't it be beautiful? Wouldn't it be joyful? It's a pity that that person had already voted for the Lord of the Ming Dynasty. Although his Lord was a subordinate, he was also a hero, and that person was also loyal. .In fact, everyone knows that it is Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, Marquis of Hanshouting."

Qin Ming exclaimed: "Ah, it turned out to be him, no wonder beheading a general is like picking something out of a pocket."

Cao Cao said: "Hua Xiong and the princes underestimated a horse archer at the beginning. I am waiting for today. Don't underestimate Zong Ze because he is a civil servant. There are countless heroes in this world, so don't speculate."

Qin Ming clasped his fists and said, "Brother's words are good words of gold and jade, brother, remember them."

Cao Cao smiled, and was about to speak, when suddenly he heard shouts from outside: "It's water, it's water."

Everyone suddenly got up and rushed out of the tent to have a look, but they saw raging flames on three sides, southeast, north and south, and most of the mountain was on fire. With such a fire, where is the water?Obviously someone set fire to the mountain!

Cao Cao couldn't help being dumbfounded, thinking that the 80-year-old old woman was holding her child down, and the orphan was brazen enough to tell others not to underestimate Zong Ze, but unexpectedly, it was I who underestimated him.How can an old man like me not know the truth that soldiers are precious and fast?Since he knew that Zong Ze had noticed the clues, he shouldn't take chances, why wait for others to come and compete with him slowly?When three 400 people arrived before, it's time to grab Dengzhou!
After all, I was still slack in my heart, and actually thought of playing games and taking school exams on the life and death of military strategists, but now I was caught off guard by others, this matter should be used as a lesson.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but nodded secretly: This Zongze is really amazing, and he set fire to Dengyun Mountain. This kind of skill is not something ordinary people dare to display.But I'm afraid it's the first time to go to battle, and I'm not cruel enough, otherwise even the west side will be burned directly. Even if Cao Cao's hundreds of people escape, they will lose most of them.

Immediately shouted: "Qin Ming, immediately organize the army and fight out from the place where there is no fire!"

Qin Ming shouted: "Set fire on three sides, but only one side fails, and there must be an ambush!"

Cao Cao smiled wryly: "Don't I know? It's just that it's the westerly wind now, so how can there be a way out if the fire is coming? Since we lost the first move, we have to fight for our lives in a desperate situation!"

The four generals nodded, and hurried to rectify the army horses.

Fortunately, the number of them was only a thousand, and they had always practiced well. Before the camp was bombed, and the fire had not reached the front of the camp, they had lined up one after another. As for the tents and luggage, they naturally abandoned them.

Qin Ming waved his mace and said, "Brother, stay in the Chinese army and wait for my younger brother to fight his way out first."

Cao Cao was at a disadvantage at this moment, but he was extremely calm. He shook his head and said, "If you charge with your horse, you will be caught in a trick! Dengzhou lost Sun Li and a thousand soldiers and horses first, how much is left? I guess that old man relied on The popularity of the people must enlist the bravery of the country. The mob is unbearable to fight fiercely. He will use a large number of horse pits and horse ties to prevent me from attacking, and cooperate with bows and arrows to kill the enemy. You teach everyone and gather the horses behind to lead them. The front army fights on foot and breaks the siege. .”

Qin Ming woke up suddenly and said: "What brother said is true!" Thinking about the scene of stumbling into a horse rope and falling into a horse pit in the dark, he immediately shuddered.

Immediately jumped off the horse, ordered dozens of people to distribute around, and swept the left and right with long weapons, and opened the way first.

Cao Cao sighed: "It's a pity that the barbarian soldiers led by Xiang Chong and Li Gong have only been trained to two hundred. When random arrows come, the casualties will be heavy."

Deng Fei smiled mysteriously when he heard this: "It's just a coincidence, my younger brother likes to use iron chains, since he was training with Brother Qin Ming in Shi'er Mountain, he thought of a way, if he really uses bows and arrows to deceive people, it depends on the method. "

Perhaps it was because of the sudden dispatch of troops and the lack of preparation, but there was no ambush in the forest. The people traveled safely for three or four miles, and when they came out of the dense forest, they saw bright lights in the open place ahead, full of lanterns and torches, about two thousand people stood In several rows, there are about five or six hundred officers and soldiers in armor in front, and there are strong civilian archers mobilized from inside and outside the city at the back.

Zong Ze rode a gray horse and held a spear, standing in front of the formation, and shouted loudly: "Sure enough, you have evil intentions and brought a lot of horses! Wu, since you are ambitious, don't blame me for being cruel! "

There are different teachings: using troops is as fast as a god, and waiting for no one to seize the opportunity.It is impossible to say that all the Three Kingdoms are heroes.It was only then that I learned that there were masters in Song Dynasty.
