Cao Hong was injured in his leg, so of course it was impossible for him to personally lead the team to kill Bao Zhong.
What's more, for Cao Hong, Xu Chu's whereabouts are unknown, and it is impossible for him to go out without permission. Even if some soldiers of Cao's army say that they have discovered Xu Chu heading east, what if Xu Chu comes back to kill him?
Making an attack in the east and attacking in the west is not only used when attacking a city.
Cao Hong looked around and saw Cao Sheng. He lowered his eyes and stared at Cao Sheng's injured hand. Then he jumped over Cao Sheng and looked at Dai Ling, the general of the Central Guard Army further back.
Not everyone in the central camp has the surname Cao.
Dai Ling was from Yanzhou and defected to Cao Cao relatively early on.
"General Dai!"
Cao Hong shouted in a low voice.
"My subordinates are here!"
Dai Ling took a step forward, knowing something was wrong, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Cao Hong threw out an order flag to order troops, "Lead a thousand troops and go immediately to the rebel Bao Zhong and behead his leader!"
Dai Ling caught it and didn't say anything more. He just responded and stepped back.
Cao Sheng lowered his head, "Thank you for the shirt, general..."
Cao Hong snorted.
Cao Sheng was injured in his hand, and Cao Hong was injured in his foot, but it was only half a catty worth eight ounces.
It's not that Cao Hong really wants to take care of Cao Sheng, nor is it how well Cao Sheng did in the previous battles. On the contrary, Cao Hong feels that Cao Sheng didn't discover the traitor Bao Zhong before and was rescued by the traitor. If
What should I do if I send Cao Sheng out, but he just opens the door and runs away with Bao Zhong without thinking about it?
These are extraordinary times and we have to be careful!
And for Cao Hong, the most important thing at the moment and the most concerned about is not the hussars rushing into the camp, but the hussars outside, that damn Fei Qian!
"You said, if we take this opportunity to lure the hussars in..." Cao Hong suddenly said to Cao Sheng, "What do you think?"
"Luring... luring in?" Cao Sheng was stunned.
Cao Hong stared at the fire outside the camp and gritted his teeth, "Yes! Lure him in!"
It can't be beaten in a field battle.
Isn’t it just that the only strategy left is to lure the enemy deeper?
What's more, now that night is the best cover for the hussars entering Cao's camp, can't it in turn serve as a protective umbrella for Cao's mobilization?
Anyway, the situation is already corrupted. I can’t do this and survive in death!
…
…
Dai Ling led the troops forward.
The night is dark.
There were roars and screams ahead, one after another.
For some reason, Dai Ling suddenly remembered his past.
That year, he also heard about Cao Cao's reputation. He heard that Cao Cao was unyielding, resisted violence, and was a loyal and virtuous minister of the Han Dynasty, so he summoned the warriors from the countryside to join Cao Cao.
That year, Dai Ling remembered that there were more than fifty people who defected to Cao Cao with him. They were all young people, with expectations for a strong man and a desire for fame.
That year, they fought together, and everyone had expectations for each other, saying that they are all good brothers and good friends, and they will always walk hand in hand and take care of each other in the Cao Group Co., Ltd....
But this wish will not be realized soon.
On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyesight.
The first to die was Ma Xiaoqi, who loved to laugh the most...
Dai Ling remembers it most clearly.
And then died...
For some reason, Dai Ling couldn't remember the order of those who died later.
He just knew that as the war progressed, those who came with him gradually became less and less.
Some went back disabled, while others...
Today, there are very few left.
Dai Ling felt something was wrong about this war. He went all the way deep into Hedong and did nothing. Just building this camp, 30% of the civilians and so on were lost, and then all kinds of county soldiers and auxiliaries were lost...
…
Now it seems that it is time to lead the army while protecting it.
When fighting Yuan Jun back then, it seems that the damage was not so severe.
This time, I don’t know if I can go back!
If he could survive this war, he should probably disband his troops and return home, and stop coveting merit.
Dai Ling thought wildly, and then sighed a little, this Bao Zhong actually turned against him?
"This is really..."
Dai Ling shook his head and stopped his men in a lack of interest, asking them to look forward. He leaned against the earth wall of the plateau and let out a long breath.
Cao Hong ordered him to kill Bao Zhong. Dai Ling naturally had to obey the order, but he didn't feel much excitement and even resisted in his heart.
After all, Dai Ling is not the kind of weird HR person who has a sense of honor even if he wants to be a dog, so pointing the sword at his former colleagues made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Therefore, he did not go straight to Bao Zhong's place, but stopped and went, asking people to check ahead from time to time. On the surface, it was to ensure the safety of the passage to the plateau, but in fact, it was to delay time. As long as Bao Zhong escaped,
, his mission is naturally over...
Dai Ling had no interest in killing his former colleagues, and neither did his soldiers.
"General Cao just uses our foreign names! But his men are safe in the camp!"
"This battle with the Hussars was really hard. Damn, I have never seen such a tough battle!"
"With that hussar artillery blast, life or death depends on luck! I have a brother right next to me who was blown up to the point where his body was not even alive!"
"Damn it, didn't they say we were the strongest before? Why do you feel like the Hussars are so powerful now?"
"Are you stupid? It depends on who you are competing with! Who were we fighting before? Who were the Hussars fighting before? I heard that the Xiliang Army was under the Hussars back then!"
"Have you noticed that General Cao is injured? He doesn't dare to come out now, so he is risking our lives?"
"Fight today, fight tomorrow, fight until the end, how many will be left?! If I had known, I would have taken the initiative to go to Xincheng. It is said that the conditions there are not as good. At least I didn't have to fight so many tough battles..."
"That's right, I think it's better to withdraw the troops earlier... It's so damn frustrating that the battle is going like this..."
Dai Ling leaned against the earth wall. He didn't want to pay attention to the complaints of these guys at first, but the more these guys talked, the more outrageous they became. He couldn't help it anymore and shouted angrily, "Shut up, everyone! And this...
It’s better to leave all your strength in fighting! We have food and clothing today, didn’t they all come from fighting? Why did you learn from those cowards and talk nonsense every day?!』
After being scolded by Dai Ling, these Cao soldiers shrank their heads and stopped talking.
But Dai Ling felt something bad when he shouted out like this. The cold hairs on his back stood up, as if he was being targeted by some ferocious beast. He almost instinctively got up from the earth wall, and then felt some sand.
Falling from above...
The next moment, there was a sharp whistling sound coming down from the plateau!
I don’t know when, but the plateau has become like a ghost, with many black shadows standing there!
The first person was none other than Xu Chu.
Beside Xu Chu, there were many hussar soldiers, firing down with their bows!
…
…
On the plateau, Xu Chu's eyebrows were as bright as lightning, and his blade was sharper than the snow!
At that time, Taishi Ci was in Jizhou, Zhang Liao was riding in the snowy area, and Zhao Yun was sweeping the barbarians in the desert. Every time these examples appeared in the martial arts hall, Xu Chu was envious. If we say that the glory of a literati is his countless articles
If it is praised by others, then as a military general and soldier, naturally he hopes to become a legendary battle example taught by veterans to newcomers in the martial arts hall!
Therefore, when Xu Chu saw Bao Zhong's rebellion, he did not contact Bao Zhong directly at the first time. Instead, he hid his figure and lurked here under the cover of night. If Bao Zhong really rebelled, Cao Jun would definitely
Someone came to encircle and suppress him. Now that Dai Ling is leading the army, it is equivalent to proving something to Bao Zhong.
Although the scene Xu Chu is facing now is not as grand as that of Taishi Ci, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and others, the level of danger is not bad, especially in infantry command and flexibility. Xu Chu also showed his talent and
ability!
Xu Chu shouted loudly, jumped down from the plateau, and slashed at Dai Ling with his sword!
If Dai Ling had not spoken before, Xu Chu might not have been able to recognize him as the leader. But Dai Ling couldn't hold back and scolded the soldiers, and he was naturally targeted by Xu Chu!
Dai Ling and others can sneak into the camp of the Central Army of Cao Army and enjoy the treatment of the Central Guard Army, which is similar to that of Cao's soldiers. This person's fighting ability is not bad, but when he was ambushed by Xu Chu, he was also somewhat
Somewhat confused!
Who would have thought that they were ambushed by an opponent in their own camp?!
This is Cao Jun’s camp, not outside the camp!
Even though Dai Ling repeatedly sent soldiers to explore the way forward, people always had inertial thinking and a lax attitude. No one even took a look at the plateau, or climbed up the earth wall to investigate.
…
This is also very normal. Just like when most people go home and open the door, the first thing they do is not to take a look at the blind spot on their door... If there are really people around who do this, then it's a shame.
One hundred thousand is not negotiable.
Cao Jun was immediately overwhelmed by the fierce attack by Xu Chu and others!
The next moment, Xu Chu had already rushed into Cao Jun's queue brandishing his sword, roaring loudly, the sword flashing, and blood flying. Ordinary Cao Jun soldiers were no match for him!
The screams of killing were mixed in one place, and the corridor between the plateaus immediately started rolling like a boiling pot!
Dai Ling originally leaned against the earth wall to rest for a while, but he was targeted by Xu Chu. He was also experienced in the battlefield, and he suddenly became alert. When he heard that the wind in the air was not right, he immediately rolled on the spot!
There is no such thing as handsome or not on the battlefield, only life and death!
Those who look cool and are afraid of getting dirty, those whose faces and bodies are fair and clean as if they have just been washed a dozen or twenty times, sprayed with perfume and sesame oil, will basically die the fastest.
Dai Ling rolled on the spot, and regardless of what was on the ground, he immediately dodged several arrows that were obviously aimed at him!
An arrow hit Dai Ling's face either by a miss or by chasing him. It splashed mud fragments and hit his face, making him shocked and hurt!
Hearing the roars and screams of his soldiers, Dai Ling instinctively wanted to stand up, call for his soldiers to form a formation to resist, or simply withdraw from this long and narrow path. He was shocked again.
He was angry again. He didn't expect that the Qiao cavalry would not take Cao Jun seriously.
In the Central Plains, as long as they fly the flag of Cao's army, especially the flag of the Central Guard Army, they can simply run rampant in the countryside and ask the wealthy noble families in Wubao to offer cattle and wine and bow before them with respect. But now...
A group of hussars sneaked into the camp. Not only did they not hide, but they also ambush them!
This is simply too much!
As soon as Dai Ling got up from the ground, he discovered that under the swaying figures in the firelight, there was a majestic man, brandishing a sword, who had cut down three or four Cao Jun soldiers one after another, and was rushing towards him!
Seeing that Xu Chu was about to kill him, Dai Ling had no time to instruct his soldiers on how to respond. He rolled over and grabbed a shield that had fallen from the ground. He held it in his hand and pulled out his sword to confront Xu Chu.
.
Sword and shield, one for offense and one for defense.
This is almost the most basic training and the simplest skill for all infantry.
But just like fried vegetables and fried rice with eggs, it seems that anyone can make it, but if you really want to make it perfect and serve it on the table with light, you must add some LED lamp beads to the plate.
The weapons and equipment of the guards in Cao's army were not bad either. Although the shield Dai Ling caught in his hand was of ordinary standard, it was also covered with two layers of cowhide on the wooden shield, and a steel plate was added to the center of the shield to enhance its defensive capabilities.
, there is also a circle of rivets and mace nails nailed around the central steel sheet, which is both offensive and defensive.
On the other hand, the shield held by Xu Chu was ordinary.
It's really mediocre, that is, there are no rivets, let alone mace nails. It's like an ordinary cowhide shield painted with a layer of black paint, and it also has many spots and long marks left from the battle.
.
Dai Ling curled up as much as possible behind the shield, exerted force on his waist and legs, and pushed forward instead of retreating, pushing against Xu Chu.
Because Dai Ling was hiding behind the shield, even Xu Chu would not be able to attack Dai Ling for a while, and Dai Ling's method was to hit him directly with his own shield with spikes!
Dai Ling could be regarded as crawling out from the pile of dead people back then. When he was suddenly attacked, he still responded instinctively according to the battle situation!
If Xu Chu avoids it, it will interrupt the momentum of Xu Chu's attack. If Xu Chu does not avoid it, then the shield with wolf fangs will be nailed to Xu Chu's shield. No matter Xu Chu tries to get rid of the nail.
Whether the shields are put together or discarded directly, it is equivalent to breaking up Xu Chu's offensive and defensive posture!
Moreover, Dai Ling still has some confidence in his own strength. If the opponent's strength is not enough, he may be able to bump into the opponent and stagger, which is a decisive opportunity!
After all, Dai Ling is a little different from those guys who sneaked into the Central Guard Army based on their last names. He is relatively proficient in various combat skills of infantry. When he gets a bow and arrow, he is an archer, whether it is throwing light arrows or heavy arrows.
Armor sundering is all in good shape. If you get a sword and gun, you can also directly attack and fight on the front line. The only thing that falls short is the riding skill. After all, there are fewer horses in the Central Plains, so he is a central guard instead of a
Middle leader.
But he happened to meet Xu Chu!
When Xu Chu saw Dai Ling rushing towards him, he just snorted slightly, then kicked the ground violently, and directly hit Dai Ling with his shield!
"Boom!"
With a dull crashing sound, Dai Ling, who used all his strength to hit him, felt as if he had hit a mountain! The stone wall was majestic and stood thousands of feet tall. The opponent stood motionless, but Dai Ling himself was completely covered in stone.
The shock was so severe that every bone seemed to be whining, and he could no longer control his body shape. He raised his arms and legs and fell backwards!
When Dai Ling fell backwards, he had only one thought in his mind: Why couldn't the spikes on his shield stick in, instead they were knocked away? His buzzing brain could no longer react.
When it comes, even though its joints are wailing, it can't do many dodges.
Xu Chu slammed the shield and knocked Dai Ling away, and then strode forward. The sword was like a poisonous snake probing, the blade was extremely sharp, and he easily cut Dai Ling's neck, esophagus, and trachea with one thrust!
Blood was immediately splashed everywhere in the corridor!
As soon as they came up, they killed the leading general of Cao's army, but many senior officials were a little unsatisfied...
Because he thought it would be Cao Hong coming, so that he could end his relationship...
As soon as Dai Ling died, the central guard of Cao's army let out a cry and lost all morale. They either knelt down and begged for their lives, or turned around and ran away.
Xu Chu didn't bother to kill these Cao soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit. He just flicked the blood off his sword and said, "Ask for a confession! Those who tell the truth will not be spared!"
These fleeing soldiers of Cao's army will expose the position of Xu Chu and others.
Xu Chu climbed up to the plateau and looked at the suspension bridges connected in the plateau. He also saw the soldiers of Cao's army stationed at the suspension bridges.
Even though the screams of death here have alerted the soldiers of Cao's army guarding the bridge, they all pointed their torches towards this place, pointed at it and shouted, but they still did not leave the position of the suspension bridge...
"Tsk."
This is a bit troublesome.
Xu Chu could ambush here because it was the main corridor leading to Bao Zhong's camp.
The camp where Bao Zhong was located was close to the extension of Cao Jun's camp, and was intertwined with civilian dens. Relatively speaking, Cao Jun was not densely populated, and because a large number of fortifications were erected to guard against cavalry assaults, Xu Chu only needed to send a simple
Just clear it and you'll be able to move forward.
But if we continue to go deeper, not only will the density of Cao's army's camp increase, but the number of Cao's soldiers will also increase. In addition, those who guard the suspension bridge above the plateau and those Cao's soldiers on the sentry archery tower will inevitably discover the whereabouts of Xu Chu and others. Even so.
It can avoid the attack of arrows. Once it is blocked in the corridor, it is impossible to say that it will die like Dai Ling!
Xu Chu originally wanted to lure Cao's troops guarding the bridge to dispatch, and then took the opportunity to make another wave. As a result, he found that Cao's troops guarding the bridge did not leave the position of the suspension bridge at all, which gave Xu Chu no chance to move forward...
The results of the interrogation came out quickly. Those Cao Jun soldiers who were stuck in the corridor and were in a dilemma were very happy to say whatever they wanted. Not only did they explain Bao Zhong's affairs, but also the information that Cao Hong was still in the central camp.
I also said it one by one.
"This guy didn't come out? He's really stable!" Xu Chu snorted, "Then they won't be able to hold it anymore!"
