Chapter 210 Chase and Kill(1/2)
Chapter 210 Chasing
Run away, defeat, massacre.
When the soldiers have no intention of fighting, even Xu Huang can hardly stop the fate of defeat.
Although Xu Huang, as the top general under Cao Cao's ranks, is definitely one of the most famous generals in the world. But in the current situation, I am afraid that Cao Cao will not be able to do better if he comes in person.
I saw the cavalry in the distance like a sharp knife, rushing back and forth among the soldiers under my tent without any obstacles. There was also a team of cavalry on both wings shooting dense arrows in circles.
And no one of his soldiers wanted to resist except for fleeing like crazy.
Cao Hong held the knife and looked at the scene. He had to grit his teeth hatefully and said to Xu Huang beside him: "Damn Sichuan soldiers, they actually came to intercept us!" He paused and continued: "From this attitude, I want to leave us all here!"
Xu Huang didn't say anything, but nodded in agreement. But in his heart, he couldn't help but think of the letter that Governor Cao Zhen had sent earlier.
He was thinking, but Cao Hong said again: "If he asked him to continue to kill like this, it would take not an hour to cover all of us! It would be better if someone led a group of troops and went to block for a while, Gongming would rectify the troops here.
At that time, both fighting and retreating were possible!" Cao Hong said that the close-knit soldiers and horses of his neighbors were now the only hundreds of people who had not yet suffered a confusion.
When Xu Huang heard this, he shook his head and said, "The defeat has been achieved and it is beyond help! We were chased by Wei Yan for more than a month in front of our army, and our morale had already dropped to the bottom of the valley. Now there is no power to fight again. If Zi Lian leaves, he will only waste his soldiers.
I should retreat quickly!" But Xu Huang knew that although the hundreds of soldiers Cao Hong could still fight against the enemy, his defeat and escape for more than a month made these close-in soldiers not have much combat power left.
If Cao Hong really greets him, he may not have to explain this to him today.
After hearing Xu Huang's words, Cao Hong felt clear and no longer talked about the matter of facing the enemy, and said, "Since that's the case, it's better to follow the words of General Cao Zhen and lead the army to retreat eastward.
"Cao Hong and Xu Huang are almost the same in terms of official rank and taste. Although Xu Huang is the head of Yongzhou, he has to discuss it with him when encountering problems. Therefore, Cao Hong naturally knew what Cao Zhen believed in the words of the emperor.
Xu Huang nodded and said, "It's a good thing that Governor Cao Zhen had long expected that the Sichuan army would come to intercept our army, so he had arranged a retreat for us. Otherwise, we would be buried here today!"
Cao Hong said: "What did Gongming say! As long as we follow the letter from the General Cao Zhen, you and I will safely withdraw from Yongzhou.
"At this point, cold light suddenly shot out from his eyes and said hatefully: "And, you can kill the people who came to intercept us and kill us. You can also compensate for some mistakes!"
Xu Huang didn't say anything after hearing this, but just commanded the soldiers to run east, but thought to himself: "I lost the two states of Yongliang this time and lost nearly 200,000 troops. If I really made some contributions, I would avoid the death of death!"...
Xue Bing rode the curly red rabbit, stabbed the left and the right, and each halberd was thrown out, which would always bring blood rain. The silver armor general rushed in the Cao army for a while, and his armor had turned bright red.
It was because Xue Bing took the lead and led the army. When he led the cavalry to charge, he was at the forefront. Although these Cao soldiers were determined to escape, they had no desire to resist at all, and they were not afraid of hurting themselves.
But after all, Cao's army still has tens of thousands of people. Even if so many people stand there and let him cut, they will not be able to kill them in a short while.
In addition, he rushed towards the center of the Cao army, and more and more Cao soldiers were increasing. In addition, he stood tightly, even if he wanted to hide, he could not hide. In addition to constantly waving the long halberd in his hand.
He killed all the Cao soldiers who were close to him, but there was no other way.
In this way, the blood on the bodies of Cao Bing who were killed by him inevitably fell on him, and even the helmet was stained with a lot of red liquid.
After another kill, Xue Bingyu immediately looked away and had already seen where Xu Huang and Cao Hong were.
At this time, when he saw the flag slowly looking eastward, there seemed to be many soldiers around him, and he understood in his heart and said to himself: "It must be these two people who want to escape east!"
Before he came, he had read the map of this area and knew that he would go east quickly. In just three days, he could reach Gaoling. Gaoling was now under the jurisdiction of Cao's army, and thousands of soldiers left by Cao Zhen were guarding it.
Before setting off, he did consider that after Xu Huang and the other two were attacked, they were likely to give up their current route and flee to Gaoling. However, because Xue Bing had few soldiers under him, he did not consider excessive interception.
In addition, Xue Bing only thought that his subordinates were all cavalry, and even if he fled, he would be caught up with him. So he gave up the idea of dividing his troops.
However, now Xu Huang really wanted to escape, and Xue Bing was trapped by many Cao soldiers and could not move forward, so he was inevitably anxious. After all, it would be really a troublesome to ask Xu Huang to escape to Gaoling County.
It was because Xue Bing was full of cavalry and could not attack the city. At the same time, if Cao Zhen got the news and led his troops to intercept his retreat, Xu Huang was fighting out of the city, so he could not escape unstoppable.
Therefore, we must not let these two people escape to Gaoling. Even if we are closer to Gaoling, we may be picked up by soldiers in the city. The best result is that Xu Huang and Cao Hong will be killed here.
As for the defeated soldiers under his two men, in Xue Bing's opinion, the 10,000 people's heads were not as valuable as Xu, and Cao's heads were valuable.
Seeing Xu Huang and others moving further and further, Xue Bing's long halberd dance in his hand became a little anxious. He didn't care about any moves and tried his best to swing the two and the other.
This time, those Cao soldiers were in trouble. If they were cut by the crescent blade on the halberd, they would be fine if they were cut into two sections at once. At least one knife would be done.
If Xue Bing turns his hand and is hit by the crescent blade without crescent, it will be the same as being hit by a big iron stick.
Not to mention the fracture, but Xue Bing hit her body with a powerful force, and then the flying general was brought up and finally hit the ground. If you were hit to death with your head, you would be lucky. If you don’t die, you would also suffer the pain of being trampled by your own robe.
At present, there are a few guys who are not sure whether they are lucky or unlucky. They are lucky enough to die under Xue Bing's attack and fall into the crowd. In the blink of an eye, they are overwhelmed by more people.
I don’t know how many people will be trampled on to truly escape from the sea of suffering.
However, the most unlucky thing is not these. It is the guys who were already far away from Xue Bing, but were knocked down by the "brothers" who fell from the sky, and were also punished by trampling. These individuals.
The one who thought he was away from the killing god was far away, and as long as he looked a few steps ahead, he could completely escape from here. Unexpectedly, the disaster came from the sky, and did not hurt the enemy, but died at the feet of his brothers...
But these are not something Xue Bing can do. After so many years of being in this era, he had long understood the rules of the battlefield.
If you don't kill the enemy at this moment, it is very likely that the guy you just let go of will wield a bright big knife to chop you into meat sauce in the next second.
"Everyone can dodge my way!"
Seeing Xu Huang was about to escape, Xue Bing became even more angry, but the strength in his hands was a little bigger. If he cut this down, he would also kill two or three Cao soldiers.
But after all, there were too many Cao soldiers around him. Even if he killed so hard, he only made his advance speed slightly faster.
As for those Cao soldiers, they are even crying now. It’s not that I don’t want to run away, but that there are so many people ahead. I can’t get faster even if I want to.
In addition, Xue Bing was riding a horse, but Cao's soldiers were all infantrymen, and they were infantrymen who had been running for more than a month. This speed was really hard to get faster.
Xue Bing was helpless when he looked at this situation. There was no other way except to step up and kill.
However, after a while of killing, Xue Bing suddenly felt that the pressure around him was gradually getting lighter, and he had already killed Cao Bing without realizing it.
Looking at the flat terrain in front of him, Xue Bing couldn't help but feel happy. He said to himself: "Xu Huang had just escaped for a while, and he was surrounded by infantry and defeated soldiers, so he was determined not to go far.
If you go after him now, you may catch up and kill him!" Thinking of this, a smile appeared on your face, as if Xu Huang had already fallen in front of him.
However, Xue Bing has been fighting in the battle formation for so many years and is no longer the stupid boy back then. He killed Cao's army at this time. He did not rush to chase the horses and rushed forward. Instead, he turned around and saw if the cavalry he brought had followed him.
He was just worried about fighting and killing the soldiers behind him. He had no time to see the soldiers behind him, but he didn't have time to have free time until now.
Seeing this, Xue Bing felt even more happy. It was the two thousand light cavalry he wanted from Zhang Fei, who was killed with him, and there was almost no damage.
As a result, he felt more confident and shouted at the cavalry behind him: "Cao general Xu Huang just looked east and was surrounded by infantry soldiers. He must have walked not far. All the soldiers followed me and chased him. He could definitely kill Xu Huang on his horse!"
After drinking, he took the lead and looked east. Finally, he turned around and looked at the four hundred cavalry led by Mi Fang. He saw that the four hundred cavalry were divided into two teams, surrounded the small groups of Cao soldiers, and shot them in circles.
When the killing is over, go to look for other Cao soldiers.
Although those Cao soldiers, although there were many people, they had no general commander at this time and had no fighting spirit. At this time, they had no idea of resisting except blindly escaping. In that way, they were not much better than the rioters.
When Xue Bing saw this scene, he knew that these soldiers didn't need him to bother. The Cao soldiers would not cause any trouble to Mi Fang at all.
Even after he left, the Cao soldiers suddenly felt like resisting, and with the speed and impact of the cavalry, these infantry could not stop them...
Xu Huang, with the three thousand soldiers at hand, walked all the way. After walking for half a day, he had time to turn around and look back. At this time, the army had already left the battlefield very far away, and the shouts that could be heard could no longer be heard.
Cao Hong and Xu Huang rode in front, and saw that they were speechless, so they said to Xu Huang: "It seems that the two of us have retreated. But the letter from the General Cao Zhen once said, "Turn the Sichuan Army to the east and go to 80 miles west of Gaoling County!"
However, when I looked back, I saw no sign of the Sichuan Army. I thought that it was the Sichuan Army general who was determined to deal with the soldiers and came to chase me without intention. If this happens, how can I deal with it if I meet the Governor Cao Zhen in the future?"
Xu Huangze said, "Zi Lian doesn't need to worry. I think the general of the Sichuan Army will not be able to leave you and me! I won't arrive at this time, I think it's because I'm blocked by the soldiers and I can't do it!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Hong said with a puzzled look: "Why is Gongming so sure?"
Xu Huang smiled bitterly.
He pointed at Cao Hong, pointed at his head and said, "Just just look at this man leading troops to intercept you and me, you will know that his intention is the head of you and me! Now you and me have no army around you. The two or three thousand people around him are defeated soldiers and have no combat power. If they can bear to let go, why should they lead their troops and horses to come?"
Seeing Cao Hong, he seemed to be a little confused. Xu Huang then said, "I took a look before. The general of the Sichuan Army was surrounded by cavalry, and there was no infantry. I thought it must be because he learned that you and me were moving, and hurriedly rushed over with his troops.
Otherwise, he set up an ambush on the road early, and no matter how brave you and I are, I am afraid they will not be able to escape!"
Finally, he added: "So. I think that after the man led the soldiers and killed the soldiers, he would inevitably lead the soldiers and horses to chase them!"
After hearing this, Cao Hong looked suddenly and said, "Since that's the case, then our army should continue to move quickly!"
Xu Huang nodded. He agreed. He did not relax his vigilance because he did not see the pursuers at this time, but instead urged the soldiers to step up Wang Gaoling County to rush to go. But he knew in his heart that he could not be slow at this time.
Although the Sichuan Army was entangled by its own soldiers, with the combat power of those soldiers, it could only be blocked for a while. This is because of the large number of people, even if the Sichuan Army did not resist at all, they would have to be busy for a while.
As long as the Sichuan Army kills out, it won’t take long to catch up with his own troops at the speed of the cavalry. Therefore, Xu Huang never considered the problem that the other party could not catch up with him.
He was considering whether he could successfully bring this Sichuan army to the designated location.
Because according to the results he observed just now, the chief general of the Sichuan Army is really brave, and even in his prime, he may not be able to surpass that person.
In addition, if thousands of elite cavalry around him are caught up and entangled, it is hard to say whether he can escape.
At least, when Xu Huang saw the broken armor and crooked helmets of the soldiers around him, he could not see any chance to escape.
"Do your best. Leave your destiny! If the sky is not over, I, Xu Gongming, will tell me to retreat to the agreed place smoothly!" After thinking about it, Xu Huang could only helplessly hand over his future to the illusory will of heaven...
Quick! Quick! Quick! ~
Xue Bing kept muttering these words in his heart. He had led the two thousand cavalrymen to run for half a day, but he had never seen Xu Huang's troops. The longer the time passed, the more he felt more confused.
"Am I chasing the wrong way? Otherwise, with the speed of the light horse, how could I not catch up with Xu Huang's thousands of defeated escaped infantry?"
But if Xu Huang doesn't go to Daling, where can he escape? If he wants to escape to Gaoling County, then the current road is only closest. Moreover, with the flat terrain of Yongzhou, what else can Xu Huang want to do?
In addition, I also sent small teams to explore horses ten miles away to prevent the deviation of the route of travel and passing by Xu Huang's troops.
But after half a day of travel, the horse explorer also paid back once, and no situation was discovered at all.
As a result, Xue Bing became more and more anxious. Until he chased after him for a while, he said that Xu Huang had already run away, he couldn't help but recite: "In this case, Xu Huang can escape. This guy really deserves to die!"
