When Liu Bei received the battle report from the front, Cao Bao had already been killed, and more than 90% of the 30,000 Danyang elite soldiers were captured by Cao Cao relying on that terrain.
Looking at the situation written in the intelligence, Liu Bei had the feeling that he was insulting Cao Bao by calling him a idiot. Thirty thousand Danyang elites and Tao Gongzu's coffin book were completely ruined, even risking his own life.
Let's say that on that day, Cao Bao led 30,000 elites and went out in full force. After winning consecutive battles, Cao Bao no longer knew his own name. It was a contempt for Cao Cao. Pengcheng's defense was completely emptied. When Cao Cao left,
I sent 500 people to occupy it without even knowing it.
When they arrived at the place where the Yishui River and the Yellow River meet, they did not see Cao Cao's army. They were secretly happy, thinking that Cao Cao was afraid of his own army and did not dare to come, so he sent someone to urge him.
Sure enough, the information sent by Cao Cao made Cao Bao laugh again and again. As expected, he was afraid of his military power, so he sent another urging letter, mocking Cao Cao in various ways. Unfortunately, Cao Cao was severely hit by Mi Heng not long ago. Cao Bao
This kind of indifferent rebuke was a joke to Cao Cao's letter, and Cao Cao decided to continue delaying it without even thinking about it.
The sunshine in February of the lunar calendar has been shining on the body for a long time and it is already a bit hot. As the time goes on, even the Danyang elites feel a little anxious. And as the waiting time lengthens, the veterans should not appear before the battle.
Fear also began to appear.
On the other side, Cao Cao, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu and others were baking steamed buns, looking at the sun from time to time to confirm the time.
Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao and Xun You with a wry smile. He didn't have the magnanimity of the two of them. Cao Cao was just dragging his feet. The more incense he dragged, the more advantage he would have. But Xun You was waiting for the sun to set in the west and get one more dazzling sunshine.
, just one more advantage.
For Cao Cao and Xun You, it doesn't matter the time of the battle or the fear of fighting. As long as they defeat Cao Bao, what they are doing now is called a strategy. If they fail, it will be meaningless sooner or later.
"Lord, isn't it inappropriate to do this?" Cheng Yu said anxiously, "The time has passed. It would be bad if others think we are afraid of war. We'd better send troops quickly."
Cao Cao casually pulled out a baked steamed bun from his spear and handed it to Cheng Yu, "Try it, try it. This steamed bun invented by Chen Zichuan is indeed good. It is easy to preserve and has a good taste."
"Lord." Cheng Yu dumbfounded took the steamed bun and swallowed it three times. When he was still trying to persuade him, Xun You spoke up, "My lord didn't write down the time of the battle. Just tell me when the time comes.
Let them wait until the time, place and people are all on our side."
"Come, come, come, let's digest after dinner, serve three bowls of wine to the vanguard, write down everyone's names, and give out five times the money and food for both life and death." Cao Cao said with a rich temperament.
"Here." A supervisor on the side recorded what Cao Cao said.
In this way, Cao Jun not only had breakfast and lunch, but also poured a bowl of wine for each soldier and three bowls for the death squads. After doing all this, Cao Cao set off with his army.
Cao Bao, who was waiting frantically for Cao Cao, saw Cao Cao's army coming, drove out of the battle, pointed at Cao Cao and shouted, "Cao Mengde, how can you be so rude, you are so late!"
"I didn't write down when the battle will take place. Why are you here so early?" Cao Cao said with a sneer.
"Okay, okay, you are a Cao Mengde, you are not a son of a man!" Cao Bao took out the letter of challenge and looked at it. He really didn't have time, and he was furious, "No wonder your father was killed by Zhang Kai and then thrown into the cesspool! You deserved it!"
"
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then his beard and hair stood out, "Cao Bao, you dare to kill my father! Cao Xiu, Cao Hong, Lu Qian, capture Cao Bao for me! I will use his blood to sacrifice my father!"
Cao Cao is not stupid. One second he was just angry, but the next second he knew why he couldn't find his father's body, and then he instantly realized that this matter must be related to Cao Bao.
Cao Bao was also stunned. He just cursed out these words in a hurry. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao instantly realized that the matter was related to him. His face suddenly darkened and he stopped replying. He was determined to kill Cao Cao here, otherwise
If so, his Xuzhou animal husbandry would be completely hopeless.
"Charge the whole army!" Cao Bao shouted immediately after withdrawing his army, and directly issued an order to the Danyang veterans who had not made any water or rice for a long time.
"Kill me!" Cao Xiu roared and led 3,000 infantrymen to rush towards Cao Bao's army from the left wing. The blood-red cloud directly entangled with the vermilion cloud of Danyang's elite soldiers, and arrows shot towards the opponent crazily.
go.
"Zilian, lead the death squads to help me capture Cao Bao alive!" Cao Cao said with bloodshot eyes. He no longer cared about using the death squads as the last resort. He wanted to capture Cao Bao alive.
Cao Hong ripped off his helmet, then roared and led a thousand death squads to kill in the direction of Cao Bao, the commander of the Danyang army. He killed a centurion with one sword, and his dead soldiers moved towards Danyang without hesitation.
The soldiers' spear formation rushed towards them, and with the determination to die, they directly opened a hole in the Danyang soldiers' spear formation, and then under the leadership of Cao Hong, they rushed in the direction of Cao Bao.
"Quick, quick, quick, kill the troops on the left. Han Qi on the left, hurry up and stop Cao Xiu!" Cao Bao saw the collision between the left wing of Danyang soldiers and Cao Xiu on Cao Cao's left wing, and was directly cut through many layers. He immediately panicked and gave random orders.
He said, turning around and seeing several bed crossbow bolts directly piercing through several people dozens of meters in front of him, he immediately shouted to evacuate.
"Quickly knock out those bed crossbows for me." Cao Bao retreated with the commander's flag while ordering the Danyang soldiers to charge. The Danyang soldiers who originally relied on the commander's flag and orders to command both directions were already a little confused, but many years of war experience have made
They stabilized their military formation and fought hard to block Cao Jun's charge!
"Go back quickly, I didn't see that the enemy is about to kill me!" Cao Bao angrily cursed at the military commander who was driving him, "Retreat quickly, retreat quickly, the left and right wings are close to the center, deal with it for me
Get rid of Cao Jun who is coming straight in!"
Military Marquis Xu Sheng glanced at Cao Bao with disgust and did not retreat. He lowered his head and clasped his fists and said to Cao Bao, "General, I suggest that we do not retreat. The Chinese army should have deliberately let them in to divide and encroach. If we continue to retreat,
, the army will be unstable."
"Go away, are you the commander-in-chief, or am I the commander-in-chief!" Cao Bao saw that Cao Hong was about to kill him until he was less than 150 steps away from him and couldn't bear it anymore. At that distance, even if his inner energy was suppressed, he could still kill him with a bow and arrow.
own life.
Seeing Cao Hong using his bow and shooting arrows, Cao Bao couldn't bear it anymore and kicked Xu Sheng off the shaft of the chariot. Then he drove the chariot back and distanced himself from Cao Hong.
"Bang!" There was a soft sound, and one of the guards beside Cao Bao, who was evacuating in the chariot, was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse. Suddenly, Cao Bao no longer believed that there was a safe place in the army, and screamed while driving crazily.
