Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 643 Chapter Lu Bai San Nine Chapters
The truth is-

Rolling clouds cover the moonlight,
The torrent tiger sweeps the dust.

Thousands of horses from the west roared,
The success or failure of the ages depends on one person!
Continuing from the previous chapter, it is about "Leopard Head" Lin Chong, who led five hundred tiger riders under his command, took advantage of the moonlight, stepped out of Tongguan, and hid himself in the camp of the Xixia people.

Speaking of these five hundred tiger riders, it was no small matter.

A few years ago, Hu Yanzhuo failed in his crusade against Liangshan, and a batch of iron armor and vests fell into Liangshan's hands. Lao Cao asked Lin Chong and Hu Yanzhuo to rely on them to train a heavy cavalry.

Later, when Guan Sheng came to fight, when the stalemate came, it was the tiger cavalry that stood out, and defeated the official army face to face.

Then Lao Cao helped Shi Xiu steal the concubine and lured out the Taiwei Gao Qiu. It was also Lin Chong who led hundreds of tiger riders to destroy the front and make great achievements, and finally avenged the blood sea with his own hands.

So far, Liangshan Tiger Cavalry, looking at the Song Dynasty, can be called a first-class strong army.

It wasn't until Lin Chong went to the Kingdom of Jin with Cao Cao and watched the battle between the resentful army and Lou Shi's troops that he realized that there were mountains beyond the mountains.

After returning to the mountain, he practiced harder and harder. In addition, Liangshan was getting bigger and bigger, and there was no shortage of money and horses. He and Hu Yanzhuo chose the best from the best and kept improving. In the past, more and more won a lot.

Until last year, Lao Cao crossed the sea to conquer Liao and selected elite soldiers, including tiger riders. They were selected from the army. Most of them were elite veterans who had followed Lin Chong for a long time. It is never an exaggeration to say that a tiger is a tiger!

Lao Cao turned to Youyun and regarded the tiger cavalry as his most important weapon. After several bloody battles, he never used this army and horse to lead the battle.

Until today, in order to destroy the Xixia Dazhai in one fell swoop, and also to deter the middle class of the seed masters, Lao Cao really played this hole card.

And this group of tiger riders have been recharging for a long time, once they are really out of their sheaths, their sharpness will be thrilling.

Let's look at each of them, their faces are indifferent, and the corners of their mouths are smiling. They don't seem to be going to fight, but they seem to be guests at someone's house. They each pull their horses with horseshoes and walk slowly along the narrow path.

But I like the moon to shine like water, illuminating the path in front of the pass, so that it is very clear.

There was also the confluence of Huang and Wei, and the turbulent waves crashed on the shore, covering the slight movement of people and horses.

Walking forward for several miles, the road gradually widened, and a large camp was faintly seen in the open place ahead, stretching along the Weishui River.

Lin Chong raised his spear, and all the troops came to a standstill. Without ordering, each took the armor carried by the horse and helped each other put it on.

After putting on the armor, get on the horse, gently pull down the iron mask that looks like a ghost, and breathe evenly.

Within a moment, five hundred armored cavalry were breathing together, and the air was rolling, like a giant beast lurking in the dark night.

Lin Chong also took off his mask and looked at the enemy's stronghold with a calm heart.

At this moment, the man who possessed superb martial arts skills but was honest and forbearing was no longer his original self.

Those ordinary, weak, struggling, contradictory... all kinds of emotions that belong to ordinary people have long since dissipated unconsciously.

Lin Chong suddenly realized that at some point, he seemed to have changed from a person to a piece of iron.

At some point, he was beaten to remove all the dross, and became a sharp steel spear.

Under the point of the spear, there is a mass of red tassels like fire, but it was tied by Tianshou Princess Dalibo when she was stationed in Youzhou.

Under the mask, Lin Chong smiled lightly, and his eyes sparkled.

He followed the rhythm of the crowd, took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted: "Brother Huqi, let me... kill the enemy!"

A large black cloud moved over, covering the moonlight, and the sky and the earth were suddenly dimmed.

At this bleak moment, the sound of hooves sounded like thunder.

In the big camp, more than 2 Xia soldiers woke up in a nightmare, and just exclaimed, and then fell asleep under the light of the sword.

The moment when the killing sound exploded.

On the city wall of Tongguan, five or six miles away, Mr. Zhong showed a worried look: "Marshal Wu, I'd better go quickly, after all, General Lin only has 500 people, if there is a mistake, it will lose your spirit."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Chang Shuai, it's not that Mr. Wu underestimated you as an athlete in the Western Army. It's just that your army has been fighting back and forth, with repeated setbacks, and its morale has long since withered. If there is a big battle at this time, there will be many casualties, so I let you be late. Let's go, wait for Lin Chong to reach the decisive battle, and you will take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, so that you can use the head of the Xia people to rebuild the vigor of the Western Army."

Mr. Xiaozhong sighed: "How can I not know the commander-in-chief's wishes? I'm afraid that General Lin has few troops. After all, although Xia Jun is a partial division, there are still troops..."

Cao Cao smiled, stroked Zhong Shizhong's back and said: "Chong Shuai doesn't know something. My younger brother Lin Chong has gone through hardships in the world, and now he has become a steel. Also. Forget it, the time is almost up, and please send troops!"

The middle division nodded, and led more than 2 soldiers and horses from the headquarters to rush out.

After half an hour, Shi Qian galloped towards him like a cloud of smoke, and without entering the door, he walked along the city wall, climbed up like a monkey, and jumped down in front of Lao Cao.

With a smile on his face, he said: "Brother, what do you think of the failure of Xixia's troublemakers? Mr. Xiaozhong was only focused on defending, but it became an excellent strategy to lure the enemy. The two armies are so close inside and outside the pass. He even dared not send scouts, but he was killed by the Western Army and didn't have the guts to go out, who would have thought that he would kill such a ruthless person as Coach Lin!"

He said with a shocked look: "Together Lin showed his true skills today, just like Marquis Huan was reborn!"

He hopped his feet and gestured: "The gate of his camp is so tall and thick. Instructor Lin smashed his spear in the face, and it exploded, as if hit by a stone cannon. How can there be any generals? A few brightly dressed Xia generals will come, one spear at a time, and kill them all. No matter how many people rush in behind, they will all be killed like a wall. It is really like a word in the mouth of a storyteller: God Buddha Piyi!"

Talking and laughing again: "Brother, do you think that Daolin's instructor is extravagant? He rushed back and forth for two rounds, and then went straight out of his rear camp to block Xia's rear. At this time, Mr. Xiaozhong led The western army came to kill, one on each side and one blocked, my younger brother guessed that those who fled into the mountains or jumped into the water, maybe a thousand escaped, and the rest died or died."

He speaks quickly, speaks clearly and neatly, and outlines a big victory in a few words.

When the generals heard this, they were all envious, wishing that they were the ones leading the army.

Li Huai couldn't help but said: "Marshal, Ji Shan's five thousand cavalry are also worth using."

Cao Cao looked at him and said with a smile: "Brother, don't you know? Your iron cavalry is just like the chain iron horse trained by Hu Yanzhuo back then. You are in a group of three, swinging on a flat floor. Of course you are invincible. How can you walk on such a small road? Don't worry, your army is related to the success or failure of my trip, once successful, hehe, then no one in the world knows the king!"

Knowing Li Huai's intentions, he hid under his name in Woniu Mountain for two years. He hoped to shake the world when he came out of the mountain. Unexpectedly, Lou Shi and Song Shi were as happy as enemies. Seeing Lin Chong's five hundred cavalry show off their might, they were naturally eager to fight.

However, Cao Cao's ability to draw cakes has already been promoted to the realm of perfection, and Li Huai laughed when he said a few words, wishing to fly to Xingqing Mansion with wings on his body.

It was a service, Lao Cao defeated the Xixia soldiers because he was prepared to attack the unprepared, and the dead piled up in the valley.

More than 2000 prisoners were escorted back to Tongguan. Lao Cao called Wang Wende: "You escorted people and horses to Luoyang to offer prisoners. One is to boost the morale of the people in the city, and the other is to call me a good brother from the official family. Be happy, three times I will tell Liu Jiedu to take good care of him, and if Jin Liao invades, he will be used as a dead army!"

In this battle, over people were beheaded and were captured. The Xixia army outside the pass was almost wiped out. Even when the Western Xia army was at its peak, it was a rare victory.

Although Wang Wende has a bad mouth, he is willing to convince others. He has long transferred his worship of Mr. Xiaozhong to Lao Cao.

Seeing that he was sent to escort the prisoners now, don't you know that this is an excellent opportunity to show your face in front of the emperor?

Although he didn't participate in this campaign, Shi Qian could hear clearly from the sidelines when Shi Qian narrated. If the emperor asked about it, he would inevitably ask Lin Guanwang to wear it, and explain in detail how his family went in and out seven times.

Thinking of the beautiful scenery of Yuqian boasting martial arts, he almost couldn't close his mouth with a smile, thanking him again and again.

Lao Cao took out the money accumulated in Tongguan and rewarded all the soldiers who participated in the war. There was thunderous cheers and morale boosted.

Mr. Xiaozhong also showed a long-lost smile, clasped his fists and said: "My whole life, I only obeyed my brother. Now that I see the Martial Commander using troops, I will know what is thunderous for nine days! It is also thanks to General Lin's bravery and incomparable military commander. Don't worry, the Martial Commander will go to Taiyuan this time. , this old man will definitely convince my brother that at critical moments, General Lin will always insist on it."

Old Cao Xi said: "If this is the case, what are Xixia and Jurchen concerned about?"

On April 25th, Mr. Xiaozhong led the army, crossed the river from Fengling, bypassed the west foot of Zhongtiao Mountain, and wanted to follow the line of Hezhongfu, Jinning Prefecture, and Fenzhou to attack Taiyuan with great fanfare.

There are 23 roads in the territory of the Song Dynasty. To the west of Tongguan, there are two roads bordering Xixia. One is Qinfeng Road and the other is Yongxingjun Road.

Now most of the two roads of Qinfeng Road have been snatched by Xixia, and they are already bordering on Hedong Road.

Qinfeng Road, Gansu area, Yongxingjun Road, Shaanxi area, Hedong Road, Shanxi area.

Two days after Zhongzhong left, Lao Cao set off.

There are more than soldiers and horses under his command, of which are Jishan's army, including Jishan cavalry.

Ten thousand are the Western Army under the command of the species division.

There are also more than two thousand Liangshan elites who followed him to Youyun.

Lao Cao pulled out more than elites from the Western Army, and together with the Liangshan Army of his headquarters, he combined troops as vanguards and personally led them.

He also sent four generals, Hua Rong, Qu Duan, Wang Yan and Shi Qian, with five hundred troops as scouts, to open the way first.

Li Zhu, Gongsun Sheng, Li Huai, and Erma brothers are in the central army.

The whole army left Tongguan and traveled westward along the Weishui River. In two days, they conquered Huazhou and Weinan one after another. They all stole the city from time to time, and the cavalry rushed to attack. None of the Xia army in the city escaped.

On the third day, the soldiers came to Jingzhao Mansion, that is, Chang'an. When the soldiers and horses in the city met, they wept bitterly. Both sides checked their identities, and opened the door to let Cao Cao enter the city.

It turned out that Xixia attacked the city and failed to overcome it for more than ten days. If they didn't want to, they gave up and left. There were only two thousand soldiers and horses in the city, most of them were wounded, and they didn't dare to attack.

The two generals guarding the Jingzhao Mansion are two brothers, they were exactly Wang Yan's former troops in the Jingyuan Army, the three of them met each other very happily.

Among them, the elder brother Wu Jie is the third general of the Jingyuan Army, and the younger brother Wu Lin is the general of the squadron.

Both of these brothers are in their twenties. When Xixia entered Shaanxi, the Wu brothers led the rest of the Jingyuan Army to help them. However, this army was repeatedly transferred, and the remaining soldiers were either old or weak.

Walking halfway, he happened to meet Wanyan Wushu's subordinates, and they were defeated.

Leading the remnant soldiers, the two brothers desperately escaped across the Wei River and hid in the city of Chang'an, only to survive. Fortunately, the Jin soldiers never came after them.

A few days later, Xixia soldiers arrived, and the whole city was panicked.

Wu Jie summoned officials, prominent families, and heroes in the city to make an impassioned statement: This ancient capital of the Han family can be broken but not surrendered.

Relying on the Jingyuan army under his command, his brothers led the defenders in the city, young and strong, etc., and defended the city firmly.

Wang Yan chatted with the two, and when he learned that Bianliang had fallen and Lao Cao wanted to attack the Xixia imperial city, the two were at first indignant, then shocked, and finally passionate. They both said: "After Liu Fa dies, I will never see such heroes again. Even though you are dull, how dare you not fight to the death?"

So Wang Yan was asked to lead the two to meet Lao Cao, and he was willing to go with him.

When Lao Cao learned of the feat of the two guarding the city, he also appreciated it, and said with a smile: "Brother you are a hero of the Han family. Now I am doing the act of 'even though it is far away', why don't I take you with me?"

Animal husbandry was well developed in the Northwest. Since Lao Cao left Tongguan, he had confiscated many horses, mules and carts one after another as far as Chang'an. The whole army consisted of more than people, and there were no pedestrians.

After he left Chang'an, he traveled more than a hundred miles a day and arrived in Baoji County in three days.

At this point, the west side of the Wei River went deep into the mountains, with steep cliffs and no way to go.

Wang Yan remonstrated: "You might as well cross the river to the north, from Fengxiang Mansion to Long County, to Jingyuan and Zhenrong Army, you can go out of Liupan Mountain."

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "This road is lost to all cities. Although it is closer, it is not conducive to secrecy. I want to turn south and go to Fengzhou first, bypass Qishan, and arrive at Qinzhou."

Qinzhou is also Tianshui.

Wang Yan looked at the map carefully and said in shock: "Unexpectedly, the Marshal from Shandong can know the geography of this place."

Cao Cao sighed, "This is the way Zhuge Wuhou left Qishan. I don't know."

Wang Yan was ignorant, he only said that he dropped the book bag, so naturally he didn't ask in detail.

Cao Cao summoned Huang You: "Mr. Xiao Zhong has been serving as Qin Feng's strategic envoy for a long time. You have been with him for many years. You are naturally familiar with this place and can be your guide."

The soldiers turned to the south and walked around the mountains. After nine days, they traveled more than li.

Qinzhou was the seat of the Tea Horse Department in the Song Dynasty, and % of the country's army and horses were obtained from there.

Lao Cao was overjoyed when he got this batch of war horses. He immediately replaced all the horses that were tired and fat along the road. He cheered up and personally selected three thousand elites. The general will follow and rush to Lanzhou to kill without stopping.

His 3000 people did not enter the city and did not sleep at night. Except for Lazar, they ate and drank on horseback.

With a journey of more than miles, they arrived in the early two days, but the Xixia remnants who defeated Qinzhou far exceeded the previous ones.

There are points to teach:
There is nothing more beautiful than the sound of iron hooves, but it needs gold and steel to be pleasing to the eye.If you violate our country, you will not ask far away, and you will break through the golden city with your head up.
