Ming Zuo

Chapter 819 Ambush
There is a cao in the army, and the bandit's heart beats when he hears about it.

Cao Wenzhao's notoriety is known to everyone in the Northwest Rebels.

Hearing that he was going to deal with him, everyone under Li Zicheng's command was surprised.

"Crossing General, Cao Wenzhao is as powerful as a tiger, invincible and invincible, he is no match for him!"

Someone spoke his mind.

Li Guo also followed suit: "I think it's better to tell King Chuang and let him fly away, there is no need to compete with that lunatic Cao Wenzhao."

"Yes, yes, I think we have to leave quickly, and don't let Cao Wenzhao get caught."

There was a lot of discussion from top to bottom, and there was only one attitude, that is, they didn't want to fight against Cao Wenzhao.

He was really scared of being beaten by Cao Wenzhao all these years.

Li Zicheng sat in the middle and remained silent.But listening to the discussion of the people below, I was still depressed.

He is ambitious.

But now a Cao Wenzhao has demoralized everyone.

Can this battle still be fought?

Although Li Zicheng has never studied the art of war, he also knows that when morale is low, he hastily confronted a strong enemy, which is more dangerous than good.

Just when he was about to order the entire army to retreat, someone spoke.

"The last general felt that this Cao Wenzhao was sent to the door, and he just wanted to kill him to destroy the morale of the officers and soldiers."

Li Zicheng's heart skipped a beat, he looked intently, and found that the person who spoke was Liang Yue's general Jiang Chaoyun.

For this young man, he is still very impressed.

Chuangjun fought several times, and Jiang Chaoyun fought bravely to be the first. He was not only Liang Yue's capable general, but also made a lot of great contributions.

In previous meetings like this, Jiang Chaoyun was not qualified to speak.But today, when everyone said to back down, he held the opposite opinion.

"You bastard, you don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth after a few battles."

Hearing that Jiang Chaoyun wanted to kill Cao Wenzhao, Li Guo was so annoyed that he reprimanded him on the spot.

Another general laughed and said: "This kid has never fought against Cao Wenzhao, so he doesn't know how powerful Cao Huhu is. Even if he wants to make meritorious service, he has no reason to seek his own death."

Jiang Chaoyun was still young, his face was flushed red by several generals, and he defended angrily.

"The last general is not ignorant of the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth."

Li Zicheng waved his hand to stop the others, and gave Jiang Chaoyun an encouraging look.

"Then tell me, how can we defeat Cao Wenzhao?"

His words gave Jiang Chaoyun confidence.

"Chuangjiang, it is true that Cao Wenzhao can fight. But this man has no brains and acted recklessly. Besides, Cao Wenzhao doesn't have many soldiers, only more than [-] people. Our army of [-] to [-] people, even if we employ people Heaps, he can also be piled to death. If you use some tricks, you will definitely make him come and go."

Hearing Jiang Chaoyun say that Cao Wenzhao has no brains, Li Zicheng grinned wryly.

In their minds, Cao Wenzhao is like the devil, the number one enemy, and has a more deterrent effect than Hong Chengchou.

But if you think about it carefully, Cao Wenzhao was indeed the first to fight bravely, and he didn't seem to have used any tricks.

Another sentence from Jiang Chaoyun gave Li Zicheng confidence.

That is, Cao Wenzhao had only [-] people.

Regardless of Cao Wenzhao's ability to fight more, it is a fact that he has fewer people.

Is there really a chance to kill this natural enemy of the rebel army?

Li Zicheng didn't notice that his blood was boiling.

"What's your plan, tell us all."

Jiang Chaoyun quickly pulled himself together.

"Now Cao Wenzhao doesn't know that our army is nearby, and he is attacking King Chuang with all his strength. If he can know that King Chuang is pretending to retreat, Cao Wenzhao will definitely pursue him without any doubt. Cao Wenzhao's subordinates can fight There are only heavy cavalry, all led by his nephew Cao Bianjiao. This man is also brave and foolhardy. Once he chases hard, he will definitely distance himself from the infantry of Cao Wenzhao's personal commander. At that time, it is only necessary to drag Cao Bianjiao and besiege Cao Wenzhao will definitely be able to win the battle."

All the generals in the Chuang army were silent this time.

It is true that Jiang Chaoyun's plan is clear and clear, just by listening to it, he can outline the situation on the battlefield in his mind.

If he succeeds, he may really be able to kill Cao Wenzhao.

At the critical moment, Li Zicheng was the most decisive.

"I have made up my mind, I must kill Cao Wenzhao and then hurry up."

Now that the military order has been issued, the others dare not disobey even if they are frightened.

Consolidating the hearts of the people, Li Zicheng immediately sent someone to inform Gao Yingxiang of the battle plan.

Knowing what Li Zicheng thought, Gao Yingxiang was even more happy.

During this period of time, he was beaten by Cao Wenzhao to throw away his helmet and armor. He was in such a state of embarrassment, which really damaged the prestige of King Chuang, and he wanted to take revenge a long time ago.

After the plan was drawn up, Gao Yingxiang acted immediately.

He first greeted Zhang Xianzhong for help.

Hearing that Cao Wenzhao was going to be killed, Zhang Xianzhong temporarily put aside his suspicions and cooperated with all his strength.

Gao Yingxiang sent people to spread the news of Ai Wannian's defeat, and Cao Wenzhao learned of it.

When Cao Wenzhao heard that Ai Wannian was defeated and killed, he was immediately furious.

Because according to the plan, the soldiers and horses he led will attack Ai Wannian and destroy Gao Yingxiang.

Now that Ai Wannian's entire army has been wiped out, doesn't that mean that Gao Yingxiang will be able to run away again?
Thinking of Chongzhen's six-month strict order to suppress the bandits, Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.

At this moment, he didn't care about anything else, and immediately urged the whole army to speed up, trying to defeat Gao Yingxiang as soon as possible.

Cao Bianjiao understood his uncle's worries, so he went all the way.

Three days later, Cao Bianjiao rushed to Qiutou Town.

There are only a small number of rebels stationed here.

Cao Bianjiao was not polite, and immediately swung his army to attack.

Unable to resist, the rebels abandoned the city and fled.

Cao Bianjiao knew that these people would definitely go to find Gao Yingxiang's main force, he didn't care about the city, and didn't wait for Cao Wenzhao to arrive, he immediately led the heavy cavalry to follow and kill.

Neither Cao Wenzhao nor Cao Bianjiao knew that their every move was being watched by the rebel army.

There was a gap of more than thirty miles between Cao Bianjiao's heavy cavalry and Cao Wenzhao's light infantry.

The place where Qiutou Town is located is in the canyon.The roads in the valley are twists and turns, and there are holes in the sky, and the army led by Li Zicheng has long been hidden in it.

Just when Cao Bianjiao chased him to the Dongling area, there was a sudden shout of killing in the various valleys behind, and countless peasant troops rushed out, completely cutting off his retreat.

Cao Bianjiao was taken aback, thinking that the Northwest Rebels wanted to ambush him.

But he wasn't too worried. He was leading elite heavy cavalry. If he really wanted to run, it was impossible for these two-legged peasants to catch up.

However, Cao Bianjiao finally came to his senses when he saw that the Northwest Rebel Army was only blocking his rear, while the front was empty and there was nothing.

"Not good! Hurry back to the army and save Uncle."

Cao Bianjiao's scalp was numb, and he turned his horse's head to kill Qiutou Town.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do it.

The Northwest Rebel Army standing in front of him had tens of thousands of people, forming an overwhelming array, one layer after another.

Don't say that he only has [-] cavalry, even if there are [-] cavalry who want to break through the infantry phalanx head-on, it is whimsical.

Before Cao Bianjiao's soldiers and horses rushed to the front, they were beaten into a panic by the rebels' long-range weapons, causing heavy casualties.

Seeing the momentum of the cavalry's charge disappearing, and looking at the far east, Cao Bianjiao burst into tears.

At this time, the three thousand infantry led by Cao Wenzhao finally saw the shadow of Qiutou town after a long journey.

　Many historical materials say that Cao Wenzhao's soldiers and horses totaled only [-], and all of them were heavy armored cavalry.But in the battle of Qiutou Town, Cao Wenzhao was clearly with the infantry.So here I set the force at [-], [-] heavy cavalry were taken away by Cao Bianjiao, and Cao Wenzhao was surrounded by [-] infantry.
