Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 415

Cao Cao slept in the tent, with Niu Gao in his heart, and couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so he simply put on his clothes, carried a hatchet, and patrolled the village at night.

When I arrived at the village, I suddenly saw a fire in the direction of Changzhou. I knew there must be a change, so I hurriedly woke up a group of brothers and sent an order: "The fire in Changzhou must be something that Niugao did. Brother Ma Ling, Let's go and visit first, Han Wu, Bian Xiang, Shan Shiqi, and Tang Bin, four brothers, you lead the cavalry to follow up, and the rest of the brothers will follow you as brothers, lead the whole army and kill them to!"

As soon as the military order was issued, everyone followed it. Ma Ling took out the hot wheel first, carried out the magical method, and flew away.

His method can travel thousands of miles a day, and the distance of only ten miles can be reached in just one stick of incense.

When he got to the bottom of the city, he could see the city gate wide open from a distance, and Niu Gao and a general he didn't know got off their horses, brandishing maces and knives, and guarded the city gate.

Inside and outside the gate, hundreds of rebels led by several small army leaders rushed repeatedly like a tide, killing Niu Gao and screaming, they were about to be driven out of the city, the situation was very critical.

Ma Ling shouted loudly: "Brother Niugao, don't panic, Ma Ling is here!"

What a godly horse, he urged the Hot Wheels, and the two flames rolled up close to the ground, and with a "buzz", they fit into the crowd.

But seeing the demonic eyes on his forehead opened, their light is shining brightly, the arrows dodge themselves wherever they look, a piece of gold brick is thrown up, flying around the whole body, knocking down all the bandit soldiers, the square sky painted halberd in his hand Slash horizontally and diagonally, kill all directions, and go straight out from the door opening, as if entering a land without people.

Jin Jie was stunned, and exclaimed in surprise: "Unexpectedly, there are such high-level people among the officers and soldiers!"

Niu Gao was also shocked, but he didn't show it on his face, he took the opportunity to brag: "In our army, there are fierce generals like clouds, like my brother Ma, with a lot of fighting power."

Ma Ling knows that he loves nonsense, so he is not angry, he laughed and said: "Xiao Niuer, if your martial arts are as good as your mouth, why do you need me to rescue you?"

He joked in his mouth and kept his hands on his hands. Those bandits who came to snatch the door were all elite bandits, but they were killed by him alone. There were more than a hundred corpses on the ground, most of them had their heads damaged and were beaten to death by gold bricks.

The rest were so frightened that their souls were completely lost, they shouted, "The monster is here, the monster is here", and ran for their lives in all directions.

If we talk about Ma Ling's ability, he is best at conflict and chaotic warfare.

Probably because he has the magic eye technique, the arrows are hard to hurt, he also has the wind and fire wheels, and he retreats like lightning, and the square sky halberd in his hand is quite good, and the golden brick technique is even more difficult for ghosts and gods!If there are no first-class brave generals to attack together, or if Taoist masters break other spells, they will be almost invulnerable, and he can really be called the "King of Mowing the Grass".

At this time, Han Shizhong's four generals led five or six hundred cavalry to kill them. Seeing that the city gate had been taken, they did not wait for the rear troops to arrive. They each led more than a hundred people and went into the city separately.

Those bandit soldiers in the poor city all woke up from a dream, all of them were dazed, and before they could form an formation, they were charged by his horse army, and they collapsed immediately, crying for their parents and mothers, and scrambling to escape first.

Those who were more awake opened the other city gates and fled, while most of the rest scurried around like ants in a hot pot, and finally fell to death.

When Cao Cao arrived, Changzhou had already fallen into the hands of the Song army, and all the brothers reported their merits. Niu Gao was also full of color, and invited Jin Jie to see him.

Cao Cao was very happy to see that Niu Gao was fine, he stopped and laughed and said, "Brother Niu is indeed a lucky general! Today's capture of Changzhou will be counted as your first contribution!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Jin Jie: "Who is this brother?"

Niu Gao hurriedly stepped forward, introduced the origin of Jin Jie, and explained the ins and outs of how Jin Jie rescued him, how the two planned to kill Qian Zhenpeng, and how they snatched the door and defended it. Recommend and get acquainted with Jinjie.

The golden festival accepted the head and bowed: "Golden festival, the sinner, pay homage to all the generals!"

Cao Cao hastily stretched out his hand to hold him, and laughed loudly: "How can we accept the general's gift? If the general hadn't rescued him today, my brother Niugao would have been murdered. You save my brother's life. I behead the general and dedicate the gate to the city." In the end, I should be waiting to worship the general!"

Seeing that Lao Cao treated his family with great courtesy, Jin Jie was grateful and fearful at the same time, and said again and again: "Don't dare, the Jin family lives on Song's salary, how can you really follow the thief? These days are hopeless, just wait for the army to go south, so that we can set things right , in order to atone for the crime.”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "The general's loyalty to the family is really admirable. We are the vanguard soldiers and horses. We will not stay here for a long time. We will only rest for a day tomorrow, and we will set off to fight Wuxi and Suzhou the day after tomorrow. Here in Changzhou, it is just right General Jin will lead the surrendered army to guard, and I will report the general's merits, and when the army arrives later, Tong Shumi will definitely reward you."

In fact, Jin Jie was a bit puzzled—everyone had shared their names just now. It stands to reason that this vanguard army should be led by Wu Song, the commander of the soldiers and horses of Gaotang Prefecture, Lu Junyi, the defense envoy of Laizhou, and Du Po, the envoy of the Qingzhou Regiment. Standing aside, completely let the lieutenant general Li Tunzi decide.

Especially after the lieutenant general talked with him, he asked people to find paper and pen, and the pen followed the dragon snake, and wrote a letter of victory, and ordered the three chief generals to sign their names with seals, and sent them to Runzhou on a flying horse. , couldn't help being more shocked——

He is also a lieutenant himself, and he has never heard of any lieutenant in the world who can be so respectable, so he thought to himself that this Li Tunzi is really the light of the lieutenant.

However, Jin Jie is the most knowledgeable about current affairs. Since the deputy general of Dunzi is in charge, he treats him as the commander in chief, and respectfully said: "Thank you, General Li, for your recommendation, but the last general has one more matter. I want the general to be in charge. It is this General Niu Gao made a marriage contract with the last general's wife and sister, I wonder if we can take advantage of tomorrow's rest and let them get married?"

Cao Cao couldn't help looking at Niu Gao when he heard Daqi, but seeing his face twisted and his fat body twisted like a quail, he asked Jin Jie what was the reason.

Jin Jie told the whole story about the three people in his family dreaming about the black tiger. Cao Cao was also amazed and praised after hearing this: "Such a good relationship naturally needs to be fulfilled."

So the next day, Cao Cao personally officiated the marriage for him. The mansion house was decorated with lanterns and festoons as a new house. He selected a few eloquent bridesmaids from among his brothers, prepared a few boxes of good gifts, and married Qin Yulian. After leaving the world and sending it back to the bridal chamber, two good deeds have been achieved.

Because it was a happy day, the five thousand soldiers under his command also each gave him a pot of wine and a catty of meat. The meat was cooked in large pieces, wrapped in red paper, and distributed to the soldiers.

Another day, the army set off.

Cao Cao took pity on Niu Gao's newlywed Yan Er, and wanted to keep him here to help Jin Jie guard the city, but Niu Gao refused to die, Jin Jie also came to persuade him, so he complied with his wish and set off with the army.

After walking for more than half a day, when we reached the boundary of Wuxi County, the horses in front came to report, and it was said that a group of soldiers and horses came from the east with blue and white flags, drumming.

Wu Yong smiled and said: "Needless to say, it must be Qian Zhenpeng who asked for help before, and the reinforcements sent by that guy Fang Mao, they didn't even send a horse to scout, they must not know that Changzhou has been lost."

Lao Cao also took the general view, nodded and said: "What the scholar said is not bad, hehe, God will not take it, but you will be blamed instead. Brothers, today is just a big killing, don't let him return."

As he spoke, he took a look at the surrounding terrain, pointed at it and said with a smile, "I'm waiting for this and that, and that and that."

At present, the troops were divided into groups. Lao Cao personally led four generals, Liu Tang, Li Kui, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng. He led a thousand soldiers and stopped them there.

But it is said that the gang of rebels was indeed sent by Fang Ming to reinforce Changzhou. The chief general was Wei Zhong, the commander of the Sixth Army of the rebels.

This group of thieves stabbed fiercely until they reached the front, only to see Cao Cao and others blocking the way.

The thief general Wei Zhong was a steady person, and he was startled immediately: "Ah? Why did the officers and soldiers come here? Is Feizhou already lost? If that's the case, it's useless for me to wait. Go back to Wuxi County and guard it, report it to the three kings, and see him How will it be arranged afterwards?"

This is his strategy of not seeking meritorious deeds and seeking no faults first, logically speaking, it is the safest, but one of his subordinates, who always prides himself on being a wise general, can't help but make some grandiose remarks when he sees such a situation. Holding back Wei Zhong, he said: "Wait a minute, Commander, this matter is definitely fraudulent!"

Wei Zhong wondered, "How can it be fraudulent?"

The Ya general smiled, pointed at the Song army and said, "Don't you see that the commander has only a thousand soldiers? If you really go to Changzhou and the officers and soldiers come in large numbers, how can there be only a thousand soldiers?"

Wei Zhong's eyes lit up, and he was thoughtful: "You mean—"

Na Ya said proudly: "It must be his officers and soldiers who surrounded Changzhou and failed to attack. He was afraid that our army would send troops to help, so he deliberately separated out this small group of people and bluffed on the road. I will not investigate any of them, thinking that Changzhou has been captured. What he ordered, he planned to sell, and it took a lot of time."

Wei Zhong showed a dazed expression, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, he immediately slapped his thigh, and said angrily: "Guanjun dog, how dare you lie to me? Boys, follow me to kill Guanjun!"

These more than ten thousand people shouted in unison, and did not form any formation, just followed the leader and killed them in such a chaotic manner, the fight was a clever idea, deliberately taking advantage of the large number of people, to swallow up this group of officers and soldiers .

When Cao Cao saw the thieves coming, he smiled lightly and ordered to shoot arrows.

It turned out that the thousand soldiers left behind by Cao Cao were all archers. In an instant, all bows and crossbows were fired, and all the bandits were shot down.

This type of attack is not enough to win against the Liao army, the Jin army, or even the elite Song army. However, although these bandit soldiers are numerous in number, their armor is scarce.

When Fang La first started his army, he only marked his rank with the color of his head scarf. There were no armor, bows and arrows in the army. It was not until he swept away the Song army in several states that he seized a lot of ordnance.

However, there were not many troops stationed in the south, and the ordnance was outdated, so today, less than % of the army wears armor, and most of them are leather armor, paper armor, and cloth armor. As for the few iron armor, only generals wear armor. dress.

Therefore, once the bow and crossbow were shot, the damage was great. Cao Cao ordered 1000 people to be divided into three rows, front and back, and released sequentially. Terrified, the pace slowed down, and he wanted others to rush ahead, but with the same heart, he stopped halfway.

Cao Cao laughed when he saw it, drew his sword and shouted: "All the soldiers obey the order, shoot every three steps, and roll forward!"

These thousand archers were all trained in Qingzhou. Hearing this, they all moved forward. They walked to three steps. The first row shot an arrow. The second row shoots another arrow, the third row crosses the second row, walks three steps, and then releases another arrow. This is the first row catching up, passing the third row and moving forward... so it goes round and round, shooting while advancing , Where can the thieves stop?Stepping back, some bandits panicked and staggered down, becoming more and more confused.

Wei Zhong was shocked, he never expected that these officers and soldiers were so elite, when they wanted to make their own shooters fight back, those shooters were scattered, front or back, how could they organize at once?I had to keep retreating, and the more I retreated, the more chaotic I was.

Wei Zhong had no choice but to summon some of his confidant generals, and seven or eight horses galloped out, trying to use their bravery to disrupt the opponent's formation, and then use the army to cover up the kill.

Cao Cao had been prepared for a long time, and with a move, the four generals Liu Tang, Li Kui, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng shouted in unison, two immediately and two steps down, and went straight to meet him.

Both Liu Tang and Li Kui are masters of foot combat. With a simple knife and two big axes, they cut down the man and the horse. They killed several generals of the opponent when they met each other. Lu Fang and Guo Sheng fought against Wei Zhong, Liu Tang Li Kui and Li Kui looked at each other, took a big step away, and rushed straight into the bandit formation, and immediately killed two bloody alleys.

Seeing this situation, Wei Zhong knew that victory was hopeless, and when he was in a hurry to leave, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng used their halberds at the same time to press down Wei Zhong's five-stranded fork. Go, the moves are fast and ruthless, although Wei Zhong prides himself on his extraordinary martial arts skills, at this moment he can only block and parry, and has no power to fight back.

Cao Cao couldn't help being very pleased to see it.

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng followed him very early. At the beginning, the two accompanied him in everything, but as Cao Cao's career became bigger and bigger, the enemies he provoked became more and more powerful. At the same time, the number of powerful brothers around him also increased day by day. Gradually unable to keep up with the trip, can not help but seem a bit tasteless.

Fortunately, the two of them also have self-knowledge, so they just settled down and gritted their teeth to polish their martial arts.Cao Cao also misses his old love, and never gave him any duties, so that he can focus on martial arts. Now that he has worked hard for a few years, he has made great progress. If he goes to Liangshan at this time, although he can't compare with those generals, he can still be compared with a certain Some mysterious generals are fighting for the top.

This Wei Zhong served as an envoy of the Sixth Army under Fang La's command, and his martial arts skills are really extraordinary, but the two generals Lu and Guo alone are enough to equalize. After more than ten rounds, Lu Fang swung his halberd against the fork, Guo Sheng shouted loudly, piercing Wei Zhong's throat with his halberd.

Seeing that the general was killed in battle, the thieves all turned their heads to flee, but they couldn't run for dozens of steps in chaos. Hundreds of cavalry swept in, and two or three thousand infantry scattered behind to cover them.

The rebels shouted loudly when they saw it, and Han Shizhong and others shouted in unison, those who descended will not die. No one dared to run anymore, and they all knelt down and begged to surrender.

Wu Yong counted down troops, about people, all of whom took off their belts and escorted them to Wuxi County.

At the same time, Du Po and Bian Xiang led 1000 troops, all dressed in bandit uniforms, and rushed to the foot of Wuxi City in a panic, shouting: "Open the door, open the door, let me wait to enter the city!"

A school lieutenant's head protruded from the top of the wall: "Who are you?"

Bian Xiang yelled like thunder: "It's all from my own robes. I'm asking you a fart over and over again! We are sent by the three kings to help Changzhou. Unexpectedly, Changzhou has fallen while we are still on the way. I don't know this. We were ambushed by officers and soldiers, and only a few of us ran out of the tens of thousands of troops. Now that the enemy army is chasing after us, we must hurry up and let the grandfathers in. We must work together to hold this city!"

The captain guarding the gate changed his mind for a while, and opened the city gate. Bian Xiang laughed strangely, rushed in on a flying horse, and with an ax in his hand, killed the captain first.

Du Po rushed in with all the troops and slaughtered them freely. There were only a few hundred defenders in Wuxi County, and the ice melted immediately, and the city was restored.

There are different teachings: elm pods and catkins are all over the sky, and Yang Runchangxi collects them sequentially.Bo Xing's spring breeze blows green water, and after a few years of separation, he complains about the sorrow of separation.
