Chapter 454: Sima Yi, the Reverence of Dingshou County
After the clan's five troops withdrew from Tao Jun's camp, Cao Ren suddenly got information about Xu Rong's attack on Zhang Ji and Liang Xi!
Cao Ren had the talent to control the troops and was also very loyal. After hearing the news, he immediately led his troops to the direction of Zhang Ji and Liang Xi to rescue them.
Cao Ren's troops marched to their destination, and Xu Rong led his troops to heavily surround Zhang Ji and Liang Xi.
Compared to Cao Ren, Xu Rong is also a master in training and controlling troops, especially that bronze mask. On today's battlefield, whenever Xu Rong appears wearing this mask, everyone in the world will know that this is Xuzhou.
Xu Rong, the ghost general of the army, has arrived.
Facing Cao Ren, who is also good at controlling troops, this time the two of them can be regarded as equals.
Neither of them went into battle personally, but just directed their troops to form a square formation to attack the other side.
The talents of a general are generally based on intelligence rather than strength.
Seeing Cao Ren leading a dozen phalanxes appearing in front of him, the one eye under Xu Rong's mask radiated light.
Cao Ren pointed at Xu Rong's main formation and loudly ordered the messenger: "Encircle!"
The horn sounded in Cao Ren's army, and more than a dozen phalanxes attacked Xu Rong's troops from various angles.
Xu Rong also refused to give in. Seeing Cao Ren's army encircling him, he immediately ordered:
"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet! Order the troops to divide, encircle and annihilate."
In Xu Rong's military formation, more than a dozen giant horns sounded at the same time, and the desolate and majestic sound surged over the battlefield filled with killings, and seemed particularly loud in the night sky.
The generals of each tribe immediately ordered the soldiers to launch an assault on the surrounding Cao Jun formation and implement the strategy of tearing and dividing. In their view, as long as they withstood Cao Jun's offensive and tore apart the enemy's formation,
With his defense, Cao Renjun was completely finished.
The fierce battle between the two sides entered a fever pitch.
The bravery and tenacity of the soldiers of the Jinling Army aroused the ferocity of Cao's army, especially those of Cao's cavalry, who fought even harder! The swords and halberds of the soldiers on both sides were mercilessly eating away at the lives of their opponents.
Unknowingly, the generals from both sides had also joined the battlefield.
Cao Ren's war spear was stained red with blood, and the dark gun body was trembling constantly. In order to prevent the war spear from falling out of his hands, Cao Ren had to frequently put his blood-stained hands on his horse's mane and wipe it back and forth.
On the other hand, Xu Rong, with a broad sword with a long handle and a wide back, was able to cut all the way down until he turned over.
As time went by, Cao Ren's soldiers and generals finally failed to hold on.
After all, Cao Ren's soldiers and horses had just fought in Tao Jun's camp, and now they came out to confront Xu Rong, which was somewhat suspected of being a crossbow.
Moreover, Xu Rong was not an ordinary general of the Xiliang army. When Dong Zhuo evaluated the generals of Xiliang, they all praised him as the one who was the best at using troops among the generals of Liangzhou.
The soldiers of the Jinling Army, led by Xu Rong, formed groups of small and five groups and formed a charging formation to attack in turn, tearing through six square formations of Cao Ren's army one after another.
Once the phalanx was broken, Cao's soldiers lost support and protection from each other and immediately fell into an isolated and helpless situation and were bloody massacre.
Beads of sweat began to roll down Cao Ren's forehead.
The pottery merchant's subordinates are truly full of talents!
This Xu Rong's ability is indeed amazing! Not only does he have the bloodshed and murderousness of the Liangzhou generals, but he also has a calm mind and strong commanding ability.
If his own troops had not fought for the rescue just now, Cao Ren would have had the confidence to compete with Xu Rong!
But in this situation, even if his ability is not inferior to Xu Rong, the general's physical strength cannot keep up.
But at this moment, Xu Rong immediately sent an order, and Zhuo soldiers and horses suspended the attack and formed a defensive formation.
Cao Ren got this chance to breathe and did not dare to neglect. He immediately gathered his soldiers and formed a defensive formation to see what Xu Rong's plan was.
After a while, he saw a group of troops approaching from far away, but it was Cao Cao himself and the supporting troops led by Cao Ang arriving.
With the help of the firelight, he could vaguely see the large banner with the word "Sikong Cao" on it, and Xu Rong couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth under the mask.
Cao Cao actually came in person?
That's very good. Let's see if I can meet him for a while and see how many real abilities this big man Sikong, who was highly praised by the Taifu, has under his command.
Just as Xu Ronggang was about to order the soldiers to form a formation, a burst of drum beating sounded from behind, and the main force of the Chinese army led by Tao Shang also rushed to the scene.
Looking at the pottery merchant's army banner and the burning camp from a distance, Cao Cao's face was gloomy and he gritted his teeth in anger.
What is the pottery boy's head made of? I didn't expect that his plan would be discovered by him again!
What is even more frightening is that regardless of the fact that the five generals of the clan were defeated, Cao Chun's Hubao Battalion was beaten by Tao, who fired wildly in the camp without even establishing the size.
Come back, isn’t this a bit too incredible?
In Cao Cao's mind, his Tiger and Leopard Battalion even surpassed the Xiliang Cavalry in terms of combat power!
How could this happen?
This kid Tao Shang, after seeing him for a while, his power has grown again! He actually has such a strong army that can defeat the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
If this is true, I am afraid that my evaluation of the Jinling Army's combat power will have to be re-evaluated.
Cao Cao's face was as gloomy as water. Cao Ang admonished from the side: "Father, I would like to lead an army and then attack Tao's army!"
Cao Ang's military skills and governance over the years were all trained by Cao Cao himself, and in terms of martial arts, he was taught by many generals of Cao's army, especially Dian Wei, who often competed with him.
Will be under.
But Cao Cao still did not agree.
"Since the pottery merchants have already won this battle and are well prepared, it is useless to continue fighting. Zixiu, you and your father should withdraw your troops and return to Xuchang. We are in Yuzhou and just wait and see what happens in Xuzhou to the north."
Cao Ang was surprised when he heard this...the movement in the north?
Last time I heard my father say that the real purpose of Jia Xu and Jia, the leader of the army, was not to capture the Huainan Army or to defeat the pottery merchants, but to attract their attention and let others finish other tasks elsewhere.
A big thing.
But what exactly is this matter? My father has not explained it clearly to himself until now.
…
Chaoqiu County, county government.
Old man Sima Yi was leaning on the couch, snoring and dozing off.
Below Sima Yi, two people were standing, each holding a large pile of slips in their hands, looking at him with sighs.
These two people are both civilized and martial.
The author of the article is called Yan Zhen, a native of Pengcheng who was recommended to the pottery merchant by Zhang Zhao. He is a good friend of Zhuge Jin and is currently working as a lieutenant. This time, he was ordered by the pottery merchant to assist Sima Yi in managing Chaoqiu County.
The martial artist is called Wang Ling, and he is a talented member of the next generation of the Wang family in Taiyuan. He was recommended by Wang Yun and joined the pottery merchant last year. Wang Ling has been proficient in martial arts since he was a child and is familiar with the art of war. He was appointed by the pottery merchant.
Genus.
These two men are not very old, but they are both talented people. This time Sima Yi was appointed as the magistrate of Chaoqiu County, and the two of them accompanied him, one to assist and the other to gain experience.
We can't talk about assistants now, but this time they have really experienced a lot.
Since Sima Yi took office, he basically did nothing. He entrusted everything to the two of them and acted as a hands-off shopkeeper. He did nothing but eat and sleep every day. He lived a happy life like a pig.
The compulsory course for Wang Ling and Yan Zhen every day is to correct all the miscellaneous matters in the county, write a report, and bring it all to Sima Yi to have the official seal stamped.
After a tiring morning today, the two came to stamp it again.
But seeing Sima Yi sleeping soundly and soundly, Yan Zhen really couldn't bear it.
Isn’t this too bullying?
He cleared his throat and called to Sima Yi: "Your Majesty, it's time to get up. It's time to..."
Before he finished speaking, Sima Yi suddenly raised his head and looked at him with sleepy eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Sima Yi seemed to have remembered something, and hurriedly raised his hand to block Yan Zhen's words, preventing him from continuing, while Sima Yi began to count on his own.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
Yan Zhen and Wang Ling were stunned for a moment.
Wang Ling frowned and looked at Sima Yi, wondering: "County Lord, what are you counting on? So solemn? Could it be that there is something important to do..."
Sima Yi did not answer him, but continued: "Three, two, one... noon is here, let's eat!"
After saying that, he stood up suddenly, raised his feet and ran out of the main hall of the county government office. He disappeared in an instant, leaving only Yan Zhen and Wang Ling staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
The two of them were completely confused this time.
When I was young...
"What are we here for?" Wang Ling asked Yan Zhen.
Yan Zhen sighed and said: "Submit the official documents from the county in the past few days and ask the Sima County Lord to stamp them with his seal."
Wang Ling continued: "Well, the Sima County Master has gone to have lunch, and we can't put the seal and ribbon on it, but what should we do?"
Yan Zhen threw a lot of slips and slips in his hand to the ground, and hummed: "What should I do? I don't know what to do! For such a high-ranking person, if I had known, I might as well have gone to my county with Zhuge Liang! What?
It's better than following him around... No matter what, I'm going to have lunch too! Do whatever you want!"
