The bright sunshine shines on Changbanpo, but it does not bring much warmth. The bloody smell permeating the sky above Changbanpo makes people feel heartbeat. And there are cries, shouts, horses neighing, and the sound of thunder.
The sound of iron hoofs made people feel endless fear.
Groups of Cao's troops roared in and rushed into Changbanpo in an instant.
Cao Peng rode his horse up a high hill and looked up, with a look of sadness on his face.
Logically speaking, he should be happy when Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Wei Yan's troops arrived. But for some reason, he was not in a happy mood at all. The influx of tens of thousands of Cao Peng's troops also meant that Cao Peng could no longer control it...
Before, he could force the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry not to kill and loot, because he was the deputy governor of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the highest commander under Cao Chun. But now, with the arrival of Zhang He, Gao Lan and others, he had no reason to restrain Zhang He
The behavior of Gao Lan and others. Even if he could rely on his relationship with Wei Yan to persuade Wei Yan to restrain his men, it would be of no use to Zhang He and Gao Lan. Moreover, he had no reason to dissuade...
Successful kings and defeated bandits have been like this since ancient times.
Cao Jun marched hundreds of miles at night, staring at the cold wind and rain. If he tried to restrain them, it would not be reasonable.
Cao Peng originally hoped to end the war as soon as possible, but he did not expect that the people, as well as Liu Bei's tribe, would not listen to the instructions.
Now that Cao's army has arrived, they want to regret it, but they are afraid it is too late!
Thinking of this, Cao Peng sighed.
"Pass my order, sound the three horn horns, and gather the troops."
The Tigers and Leopards have their unique signal, a trombone shaped like a bull's horn. This trombone has a unique sound and is the most sensitive to horses. Generally speaking, as long as the horn sounds, the Tigers and Leopards will know.
This is the general's order to withdraw troops. Regardless of whether they like it or not, they must obey the order. The seven prohibitions and fifty-four executions in the army are not just decorations. If they are violated, they will be killed.
A long horn sounded, echoing over Changban Slope.
That vigorous and melodious voice covered up the shouts of killing and soon reached the ears of the tiger and leopard knights.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry immediately began to gather their troops and assemble towards Cao Peng's position. At the same time, Gao Lan led his troops to the high hillock. He saw Gao Lan urging his horses straight to the high hillock and came to Cao Peng.
He immediately handed over his hand and said, "Grand Governor, why did you withdraw your troops and stop moving forward?"
Gao Lan and Cao Peng are no strangers to each other.
It is even said that there is still a bit of embarrassment between the two...
During the Battle of Guandu, Gao Lan failed in a surprise attack on Cao Ying in Yanjin, but was ambushed by Cao Peng in Shili Ying and captured alive.
This also made Gao Lan instinctively be in a weak position when he saw Cao Peng, and he was somewhat reluctant to meet. However, how could he avoid seeing Cao Peng in the chaos? Zhang He was chasing from another way, and Wei Yan
Then it was necessary to go around the inner side and cross the Han River from Zhangshan Ferry to cut off Liu Bei's route. This also made Gao Lan the first to arrive at Changbanpo and join forces with Cao Peng. Since Guandu, except for the previous meeting outside Xiangyang City
Apart from that, the two never met again. This also made his tone inevitably harsh.
If Zhang He were here, he would definitely not speak like this.
Because Gao Lan's words contained a questioning meaning...
Although Zhang He was also a surrendered general, and he was captured first and then surrendered. But his nature was different from Gao Lan. Zhang He was captured by Gan Ning.
In addition, Zhang He had a close relationship with Cao Peng, so he was very careful when speaking.
Cao Peng couldn't help but frown when he heard Gao Lan's words.
"General Gao, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry pursued them all night, and then went into battle. It has been four hours now, and no water or rice has been gained.
Since you have arrived, I should withdraw my troops and rest. Moreover, the situation on Changban Slope has been brought under control, and there is no need for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to continue dispatching."
You are not polite to me, and I don’t need to be polite to you.
I have defeated Liu Bei, and now the situation in Changbanpo does not require my Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to take action. It is better to leave it to you to solve it.
Reading, hearing and listening at a high level makes me feel unhappy.
But he had no choice but to avoid Cao Peng, because in terms of rank, Cao Peng was a head above him.
It's just that the two of them are not in the same system, so neither one will interfere in the other's affairs. However, Cao Peng's arrogant tone made Gao Lan very angry. He didn't want to talk to Cao Peng anymore, so he handed over his hands and said in a deep voice: "
In this case, Gao Mou left..."
"No!"
Cao Peng didn't even bother to move his hands, he just nodded slightly.
Gao Lan rushed down the hill angrily, and immediately issued an order: clean up the mess on Changbanpo, and kill without mercy if there is any resistance.
This order means that you can decide according to your own circumstances.
The so-called resistance only lies in one's mind.
If you say they resisted, that means they resisted; if you say they didn't resist, no one can say anything.
Cao Peng looked up and saw groups of Cao's troops marching into Changbanpo... Changbanpo, which had been calm, suddenly became chaotic.
At this time, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had slowly returned towards the high hill.
Cao Peng ordered his men to take two prisoners and inquire about Liu Bei's whereabouts and Zhuge Liang's whereabouts.
Hearing that those on the Changban slope were just Liu Bei's cannon fodder, and Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang led their elite troops, they had already crossed Dangyang Bridge and were approaching Jiangling. Cao Peng thought for a moment and decided to continue chasing Liu Bei. For Cao Peng,
Liu Bei is his biggest enemy at the moment. If Liu Bei can be killed, it will mean that the three-legged situation will no longer exist, and the war of the Three Kingdoms that has lasted for hundreds of years will also disappear.
Thinking of this, Cao Peng ordered his troops to be counted.
After a night of chaotic fighting, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry also suffered considerable losses.
The tiger cavalry lost nearly 200 people, while the leopard cavalry lost more than 300 people... Cao Peng's flying camel soldiers also suffered between 200 and 300 casualties.
In other words, he lost nearly a thousand people that night.
Seeing such a huge loss, Cao Peng couldn't help but take a breath.
"Why didn't Ling Ming come back?"
Logically speaking, when the horn sounds, Pound should come back.
But most of the tiger and leopard cavalry have returned, but there is still no news about Pound's five hundred leopard cavalry.
Cao Peng couldn't help frowning and was about to send out a search. At this moment, Zhang He led his troops and arrived at Changbanpo... Hearing about the conflict between him and Cao Peng from Gao Lan Buqu, Zhang He also smiled helplessly. Gao Lan heard about the conflict between him and Cao Peng.
, has a mouth that offends people! But if you want to offend someone, you should clearly identify the target. Then Cao Peng is one of the people Cao Cao relies on most, why are you offending him for nothing?
So Zhang He immediately came to visit Cao Peng.
Naturally, Cao Peng couldn't ignore it. After talking to Zhang He for a while, he said in a deep voice: "I have no grudges with General Gao, but I just got the news that Liu Bei's troops have crossed Dangyang Bridge and are heading towards Jiangling."
The troops have not yet crossed the Han River, so I am afraid that I will not be able to stop Liu Bei. Although I have sent some manpower to Jiangling, the force is weak and may not be able to withstand Liu Bei's attack... Here, I will leave it to Junyi for the time being, and I will pursue Liu Bei myself.
, to prevent the big-eared thief from getting away... My lord is bound to win against the big-eared thief."
Zhang He immediately became nervous after hearing this.
"Youxue, I still have two thousand cavalry troops under my command. I will hand them over to you to command them."
"Very good!"
Cao Peng was worried about the lack of troops. Zhang He's two thousand cavalry army was like giving help in the snow.
He cupped his hands and thanked Zhang He, and then ordered his troops to be ordered. But at this moment, a small school suddenly came and whispered a few words in Cao Peng's ear.
Cao Peng was startled, and then a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Let General Pang take good care of you, and I will send someone to receive it right now."
"Youxue, what happened?"
"It's nothing, it's just...hehe, Junyi should quickly support General Gao."
Cao Peng had an enigmatic look on his face, which made Zhang He feel a little baffled. However, Cao Peng didn't want to say anything, and it was hard for Zhang He to pursue the question. He had no choice but to say goodbye to Cao Peng and lead his troops away.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++
On the Changban slope, as more than ten thousand Cao troops joined, the situation became even more chaotic.
Zhao Yun made up his mind, abandoned the hundreds of people, and took Mrs. Gan towards Dangyang Bridge. At this time, Cao Jun had just entered Changban Slope, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were retreating. Therefore, they did not encounter too many enemies along the way.
Despite much resistance, Zhao Yun protected Mrs. Gan and had a smooth journey.
Ahead, a group of people came.
The leader is none other than Mi Zhu.
From a distance, Mi Fang saw Zhao Yun.
It's just that at this moment, Zhao Yun has no trace of his former grace and looks in a miserable state. The battle robe made of white brocade has turned into blood red and is in tatters. The armor on his body is even more stained with blood, obviously after a period of time.
An extremely brutal fight resulted.
"Zilong, Madam, have you ever found her?"
Mi Zhu shouted loudly.
In his heart, he hoped that Zhao Yun would find Mrs. Mi, after all, she was his sister.
Unfortunately, Zhao Yun replied: "Mr. Zizhong, Mrs. Gan is here."
Is it Mrs. Gan?
Mi Zhu was startled and hurriedly rushed forward.
When Mrs. Gan saw Mi Zhu, she couldn't help crying loudly, "If Zilong hadn't saved me, I would have died a tragic death."
"Madam, please don't panic. The three generals are at the end of Dangyang Bridge. Madam, please follow me and go there quickly."
"Where's the emperor's uncle?"
"The emperor's uncle has rushed to Jiangling. Before leaving, he told the three generals that if his wife comes back, they will immediately go to Jiangling to meet up."
Mi Zhu can be sure that Liu Bei will never say such a thing. To Liu Bei, his wife is like clothes, and a strong and wise minister is like his brothers and feet... Clothes can be replaced when they are old, but if the limbs are broken, it will be difficult to replace them. Mi Zhu once said
He also valued Liu Bei's loyalty very much. But as he grew older, he knew very well that without Mrs. Mi, his son Mi Zhong would not be able to survive the rest of his life...
You may not have noticed, but since Xiang Lang and his son surrendered, Liu Bei has paid more and more attention to the Jingxiang Trilogy.
And he and Mi Fang gradually became more distant. Although Mi Zhu didn't say anything about this, he still had resentment in his heart.
Especially after Mi Fang was captured in Wancheng, her life and death were unknown.
Liu Bei never asked questions. On the surface, he still valued Mi Zhu, but privately, he secretly weakened his power.
Seeing that it was not Mrs. Mi, Mi Zhu became a little anxious, "Where are the other two ladies and the young master?"
They said they were two ladies, but Zhao Yun knew that Mi Zhu was asking about his sister, Mrs. Mi. Zhao Yun smiled bitterly, "Madam, I know that Mrs. Mi was carrying the young master and got lost in the chaos, and she is still on Changban slope.
.I wanted to ask the eldest lady to go back to Changbanpo to search for her. I don’t want to meet Zizhong, so I asked Zizhong to take the lady away. I will go back immediately and will not give up until I find the lady and the young master."
Mi Zhu took a breath of cold air.
"Zilong, I heard that Cao Jun's pursuers have arrived?"
"When I came back, I heard that there were reinforcements led by Gao Lan... However, I didn't encounter them along the way. The cavalry under Cao Peng seemed to be gathering. I was worried that they would continue to pursue the lord, so I asked Zizhong
Sir, remind the third general to be more careful."
"I can spare it!"
Mi Zhu hesitated for a moment and said with hope: "Zilong, please take care of yourself."
"Farewell!"
Zhao Yun turned his horse's head and was about to leave...but was stopped by Mi Zhu again.
Mi Zhu allocated 300 cavalry troops and handed them over to Zhao Yun, "Cao's army is powerful. You have to be more careful. If nothing can be done...return early."
"Zizhong, take care."
Zhao Yun nodded, led three hundred cavalry troops, and headed towards Changbanpo.
Mi Zhu sighed, urged his horse to stand in front of Mrs. Gan's horse, and whispered: "Madam, let's go, the three generals are still waiting for news."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++
Returning to Changbanpo again, the situation was completely different.
Soldiers of Cao's army can be seen everywhere, but compared with the tiger and leopard cavalry they encountered before, these Cao's troops are obviously much weaker. Zhao Yun led his troops and killed the generals all the way. Wherever they passed, Cao's army was killed and they were turned upside down.
Blood flowed like a river. In just a few miles, Zhao Yun killed more than ten Cao generals with his spear and sword. However, as they went deeper into Changban Slope, the number of Cao's troops became more and more numerous.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to find the whereabouts of Mrs. Mi and others. More than half of the three hundred cavalry accompanying them have been killed or wounded.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but become a little anxious...
This Changban slope is more than twenty miles from north to south and more than ten miles from east to west. The area is not very large, but trying to find someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
There are fewer and fewer followers around me.
But Cao's army was like a tide, constantly coming from all directions.
Zhao Yun urged his horse to dance with his spear and cut a bloody path through the insurgent army. Seeing a mound in front of him, he quickly rode his horse and rushed up...
By this time, it was almost noon.
The sun is dazzling!
Looking around, I saw Cao Jun's flags everywhere.
Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, looking towards the north...there were the largest number of refugees there, and also the largest number of Cao's troops. Maybe his wife and young master were among the refugees. Zhao Yun gritted his teeth and made up his mind. However, he headed towards the right direction.
Searching in the north will greatly increase the risk. Not to mention that Cao Peng's reinforcements have arrived, Cao Peng, his troops, and the terrifying cavalry are all over there. Zhao Yun believes that he can capture Cao Peng
Life... But if you add the combat power of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, you can pass by yourself like a moth to the flame.
But no matter what, he must fight in!
"Brothers, going forward is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, extremely dangerous.
If you brothers want to retreat, it's still too late to leave at this time, Yun Jue has no complaints. If you follow me, Yun can't guarantee everyone's safety. You can make your own decision, and I'll go too!"
Zhao Yun didn't wait for his entourage to answer, then he drew his spear, leaped on his horse, and rushed down the hill.
A group of followers, you look at me, I look at you... After a moment, dozens of cavalry chased out, following Zhao Yun into the enemy army. However, more people showed fear. After looking at each other, they all headed south.
Let's go. At the critical moment, let's go to each other's side! Many of these people are from Jingxiang, and their sense of belonging to Liu Bei is not strong. Accompanying Liu Bei to fight here is enough! If you know that there is a dead end ahead
, if you still want to follow them, you must have a broken brain. After everyone retreated, they immediately dispersed...
Zhao Yun did not know that those people had already fled before the battle, committing suicide and joining the rebel army.
Facing them, three Cao soldiers urged their horses forward and blocked the way. Zhao Yun was not afraid, and turned his gun and went up... The four horses circled, but after only three or two rounds, the three Cao generals were killed under the horses. Zhao Yun went in as he went.
Rushing to kill, when encountering the fleeing refugees, they approached them and asked.
"Did you see Madam?"
"Has anyone seen Madam..."
At this moment, a group of Cao's troops suddenly came out from the side.
At the head is a general, with a golden helmet and golden armor, a horse on his hip, and a spear two feet long in his hand.
"General, please don't leave... Gao Lan is here!"
Zhao Yun didn't hesitate and immediately rode forward to meet him. Gao Lan led Buqu and patrolled Changbanpo... not wanting to meet Zhao Yun.
From a distance, he saw Zhao Yun rampaging among the rebellious troops, and he suddenly became angry.
Gao Lan felt unhappy after being angry with Cao Peng. So he led his troops to stop Zhao Yun and wanted to kill Zhao Yun in the formation. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun was also holding back his anger. Mrs. Jiuxun
He was nowhere to be seen, and his heart was already on fire. Gao Lan blocked the way, which made Zhao Yun extremely angry. He stepped forward on horseback, a gentian gun in his hand, as if it had life, and the shadow of the gun was longing.
After fighting Gao Lan for more than ten rounds, Zhao Yun also secretly admired him.
This man is skilled in both guns and weapons, but he is a good opponent...
However, the more this happened, the more murderous he became. When the two horses stepped on each other, Zhao Yun suddenly released a hand, pulled out the Jinghong Sword, and struck Gao Lan with his backhand. Gao Lan was killed by Zhao Yun
He was exhausted and embarrassed. Who would have expected that Zhao Yun would have this trick of holding a sword in his gun? He couldn't dodge and was slashed down by Zhao Yun's sword. Most of his arms were split open by Zhao Yun...
Gao Lan screamed and the body fell off the horse.
For a time, Cao's army was in chaos.
Zhao Yun took advantage of the situation to break out of the encirclement and continued heading due north.
Behind him, there was no one following him.
"Old man, have you seen Madam?"
On the way, Zhao Yun stopped an old man and asked about the whereabouts of Mrs. Mi and others.
The old man obviously recognized Zhao Yun. After hearing this, he was startled and asked: "General Zilong, which lady are you asking about?"
Zhao Yun felt happy and said quickly: "Old man, do you know the whereabouts of my wife?"
"Before dawn, I saw Mrs. Mi resting next to a dry well. But then many Cao soldiers appeared there, so I don't know whether they are alive or dead... I saw Mrs. Xiang just now. She was retreating to the southwest with her father and brother.
, but now I don’t know the situation clearly.”
Mrs. Moose?
To Mrs. Xiang?
Two ladies, two gentlemen...
Zhao Yun felt a little embarrassed!
The direction of the old man's fingers was clearly in two directions.
Who should be saved?
Zhao Yun changed his mind and realized that the old man saw Mrs. Mi before dawn. At that time, Cao Jun's reinforcements had not arrived. Now that Cao Jun's reinforcements have arrived, Mrs. Mi may not stay there. Even if he goes to look for her now, she may not be able to find him.
Traces of the Elk Lady.
Forget it, save Mrs. Xiang first!
Zhao Yun thought of this and asked the old man to find a place to hide, and then followed the direction of the old man's finger and rode on horseback.
Within a few miles, he heard bursts of shouts of killing coming from the front. Zhao Yun felt anxious and immediately whipped up his whip and rushed towards the place where the shouts of killing came from.
A sparse forest was tightly surrounded by Cao Jun.
Several Cao generals were commanding their troops to launch an attack inside.
It can be seen that the people in the sparse forest are knowledgeable in the art of war... Although the number of people is not too many, they are quite organized and kept Cao's army at bay.
Under a large banner, a Cao general sat astride a horse.
He jumped off the horse. He was nine feet tall, with a big body and a round waist.
There was a heavy, bright dragon-bird ring in his palm, and the blade was stained with blood.
This guy is the commander-in-chief of Cao’s army!
After Zhao Yun saw the target clearly, he suddenly urged his horse forward and shouted: "Don't panic, general, Zhao Yun is here..."
It was too late, but it was too late. The white dragon horse carried Zhao Yun on its back and broke into the enemy's army like an arrow off the string.
