Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 503 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Cao Chun
Cheng Yu also noticed the situation at the city gate and hurriedly said to Xiahou Dun: "General Xiahou, send someone to investigate immediately!"

Although it’s not far away, he can’t wait any longer!
You know, the people we’re fighting against this time are not ordinary people.

They are from Hebei!
Although Yuan Shao is dead.

However, Cheng Yu still did not dare to take it lightly.

After hearing what Cheng Yu said, Xiahou Dun rode his horse forward and galloped over.

When they arrived at the city gate, the official who had fallen to the ground had already been helped up.

However, my legs and feet were shaking violently.

Seeing Xiahou Dun coming, although these officials did not recognize the general in front of them, the other party's solemn and murderous aura made them salute.

Xiahou Dun looked down at these cowering officials, pointed his whip at them and said, "I am Xiahou Dun, the governor of Yanzhou, and the commander of the front army this time."

"Who is the magistrate of Lihu County?"

The official who had just fallen down turned pale in an instant, staggered, and almost fell to the ground again.

Fortunately, several officials nearby were quick to respond and rushed forward to meet him.

The other big man gritted his teeth, stepped forward quickly, saluted Xiahou Dun and said, "General Xiahou, I am Deng Jin, the commander of Lihu County!"

Xiahou Dun looked at the county magistrate with disgust, then his eyes fell on Deng Jin and he asked in a deep voice, "What happened? Why are you so nervous?"

Deng Jin also quickly lowered his head, pointed in the direction of Bai Ma behind him, and said in a trembling voice: "Just now a soldier came to report that the defenders of Bai Ma were attacked by landing cavalry from the direction of Liyang Port yesterday afternoon. There were 2,000 people, except for the two soldiers sent by the enemy to report the battle situation, the others-"

Deng Jin raised his head and met Xiahou Dun's raised eyebrows. His legs and feet were shaking a little. He said, "No one is spared!"

Xiahou Dun let out an "Ah~" and whipped Deng Jin with a horsewhip, knocking him to the ground.

The generals behind Deng Jin all fell to their knees almost instantly.

Xiahou Dun knocked Deng Jin over and immediately turned around and headed straight for the center of the army.

Cheng Yu saw Xiahou Dun like this from afar, lowered the curtain of the carriage window, and sighed.

Sure enough, the people from Hebei are not so easy to deal with.

Even if Yuan Shao died, these people would definitely not be easily defeated.

Something big must have happened in the direction of Baima.

Otherwise, they would never have disobeyed military orders and not reported military intelligence for so long.

Not long after, Xiahou Dun came running over.

Cao Ren looked at Xiahou Dun expectantly.

Xiahou Dun caught up with the carriage and said anxiously to the window: "Military Advisor, something big has happened!"

"Yesterday afternoon, a large army landed at Liyang Port and launched a surprise attack on the Baima garrison."

"They deliberately sent two soldiers to give us a tip-off."

"Everyone else will die in battle!"

Cao Ren narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a lost voice, "Didn't they say Yuan Shao was dead? Why are they still launching such a strong offensive?"

"How many troops?"

"Who leads the army?"

Xiahou Dun shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"The officials of Lihu County fell to the ground in shock. They certainly didn't think of investigating the matter."

Cheng Yu's voice came from the carriage: "Notify the army to take over the three city gates in the north, east and west of the city immediately."

"Tell all soldiers that the Hebei army is coming. Everyone should be prepared for battle."

"Perhaps, the enemy will soon attack Lihu County."

"General Cao, you go to the rear in person and inform the lord of this matter, and ask him to speed up."

"At the same time, tell the lord not to take it lightly."

“I hope our trip north goes smoothly.”

"Although Yuan Shao is dead, no major generals in Hebei have been killed in battle."

"Let the lord take the long-term view and avoid making any mistakes." Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun looked at each other.

Xiahou Dun nodded.

Cao Ren then called upon a few soldiers to follow him and galloped towards the rear.

Xiahou Dun rode forward again and asked the soldiers to convey the military order.

Originally, the army was to be stationed outside the north of the city, awaiting a detailed investigation.

Now, all the troops have entered the city, taking over the defense of the three city gates in the east, north and west.

Xiahou Dun took Cheng Yu and other generals and quickly entered the Lihu County government office.

Xiahou Dun sat in the county government office as a guard, while Cheng Yu sat on his left.

Lihu County Captain Deng Jin personally led people to bring in two soldiers who had fled to Lihu County.

As soon as the two soldiers arrived, they immediately prostrated themselves on the ground and reported the battle situation yesterday afternoon: "At about the turn of the afternoon and evening hours yesterday, the scouts noticed movement in the direction of Liyang Port."

"Before we had time to investigate in detail, the other party had already rushed over in a small boat."

"All cavalry!"

"The number is about one thousand."

"Extraordinary bravery."

"The captain discovered that the enemy had landed, and immediately organized a large army to stop them. He also sent soldiers to Lihu to report the military situation."

"But they are too fast!"

"Our troops had just organized themselves and had not yet attacked, but they were already here to kill us."

"Even the soldiers sent by the captain to report the military situation were hunted down and killed."

"They chopped off everyone's heads and piled them into a hill facing Lihu County."

"Their commander, who called himself the governor of Jizhou, personally painted three pictures on the flag."

"One is a picture of that person stepping on the master's head."

"One is a picture of that person welcoming the emperor in Xudu."

"One picture shows the Shangshu crawling at his feet, humbly begging for mercy."

"After that, the man released the two of us and told us to come back and inform the master, so that the master could go over and die quickly."

After the two soldiers finished speaking, the entire county hall fell into deathly silence.

Xiahou Dun was furious. He stood up and walked around in circles in anger.

A thousand cavalrymen?
So arrogant and domineering!

Actually, two thousand defenders were killed and completely wiped out!
Moreover, how dare you draw and mock so arrogantly?

Cheng Yu's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it when he listened to the soldiers describing the battle.

Seeing Xiahou Dun so angry, Cheng Yu said, "General Xiahou, send General Cao Chun with fifty Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to investigate the enemy situation, and then we will make plans."

A burly man in his twenties, wearing armor and with a face full of flesh, stepped forward and said in a stern voice, "Cao Chun, take the order!"

Cao Chun, Cao Cao's cousin and Cao Ren's younger brother, is now responsible for training two thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

This time he brought two thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to join the army, but he did not lead the battle. Instead, he watched the battle and learned cavalry combat experience from the battle against the Hebei troops.

Cao Cao attached great importance to this 2,000-man Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

As the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, although Cao Chun had only 2,000 men, his official position was Sima of a separate department, and he only took orders from Cao Cao himself during battles.

At this moment, Cao Chun was also very angry when he heard the soldiers reporting the military situation.

He wanted to see who this cavalry of more than a thousand people was!
He killed two thousand defenders in his own territory and was still so arrogant!

Xiahou Dun stopped and looked at Cheng Yu and said, "The military advisor will be stationed in the north of the city just in case."

"I will personally lead 3,000 vanguard troops to meet him!"
