Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 443 Cao Cao was ambushed and defeated!
July 24, morning.

Sun Jian led the Jiangdong Army and Runan Army to Xincheng County.

In the county town, the Violent Bear Army is waiting.

on the city head.

Hu Zhao and Jiang Lu stood side by side, looking at the soldiers and horses outside the city. Jiang Lu's gaze was gloomy, staring at the overwhelming soldiers and horses coming from outside the city, and his voice was a bit bleak: "After waiting for several days, it finally came. Unfortunately, it's coming now." Sun Wentai is a hero in the world, but it is so rare that Sun Wentai is so loyal, he is a person worthy of admiration!"

"indeed!"

Hu Zhao nodded and nodded: "Unfortunately, our positions are different, so we are doomed not to cook wine and talk about the world, but to talk about heroes on the battlefield!"

All for the sake of the world.

They stand on the position of Mu Shi.

Sun Jian stood in Liu's position.

Different positions, different paths.

"Sir, the Violent Bear Battalion has given up its formation outside the city and has withdrawn to the city!"

A scout came to report.

"it is good!"

Hu Zhao's eyes burst out with a bright light: "Tell Zhao Ping, today's battle can only be blocked, not attacked!"

"promise!"

The scout went back to deliver the order.

At this time, a scribe came quickly and whispered some news in Jiang Lu's ear.

Jiang Lu waved his hand to let him go down, and then said: "The news from Jing Wusi, Ma Teng sent troops to Yiyang!"

"Where's my lord?" Hu Zhao asked.

"My lord camped on Xiong'er Mountain!" Jiang Lu said.

"This battle will be decided quickly!"

A decisive look flashed across Hu Zhao's face: "We don't have time to waste!"

"Ok!"

Jiang Lu nodded: "The Xiliang army is advancing southward. Lu Bu's wolf cavalry can enter Xincheng County in three to five days. If they join forces with Ma Teng, they will definitely besiege our main force!"

"So we must defeat Sun Cao's army as soon as possible!" Hu Zhao thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "Haoming, you come to sit in charge of this battle, and I will go to Liang County in person. Before defeating Cao Cao's army, you must not fight back, but be beaten ,Understand!"

"it is good!"

Jiang Lu nodded.

The cooperation of the two battlefields is crucial.

……

outside the city.

The army is in a company battalion, and the soldiers and horses are gaining momentum.

In a camp, swords were drawn, Sun Jian's burly body stood, his tiger eyes were hunting, his cold light flickered, and he stared at Ji Ling who was sitting cross-legged: "General Ji, is the latter going to let the tiger go back to the mountain?"

He did not expect Yuan Shu to be so short-sighted.

Before the battle, he ordered Ji Ling to stand still.

If Ji Ling's soldiers didn't move, it would be very difficult for him to conquer the city with the main force of his Jiangdong army. Even if the Mu army is fleeing now, they are still elite, defending the city, how to conquer it.

This made him very angry.

"Sun Polu, the future general has his own plan, we should take into account the overall situation!" Ji Ling said calmly: "Don't worry about the loss of a city or a place!"

"Humph!"

Sun Jian snorted coldly: "It's a loss of one city and one place. Since this is the case, I won't force it. You can pass a message to the rear general for me. If Mulongtu leaves Guanzhong, Nanyang may not be his rear general. Of!"

He walked away.

Ji Ling narrowed his eyes, his eyes flickered as he struggled, Sun Jian's words were not considered a threat, the Mu family started in Nanyang, and there are not yet [-] soldiers and horses, if they return to Nanyang, I am afraid that Nanyang, the number one county in the world, will have no peace .

He thought for a while, and sent a letter to Yuan Shu immediately.

Although he is a general, he is Yuan Shu's retainer. Unlike Sun Wentai, he is absolutely loyal to Yuan Shu. He can write letters to persuade Yuan Shu, but no matter what Yuan Shu decides, he will absolutely follow and will not make decisions without authorization.

When Sun Jian returned to the Jiangdong military camp, his anger was unstoppable: "Shuzi can't be found!"

All Jiangdong generals in the camp were silent like cicadas.

"Father, Ji Ling is unwilling to send troops?" Sun Ce stood up, frowning slightly, and said, "Then let us face the bandits in the city alone?"

"My lord, wait for a few days!"

Han Dang said.

"I can't wait any longer!" Sun Jian said coldly, "If they are blocked here, Mu Longtu will leave Guanzhong. I can't keep him, I have to try!"

He took a deep breath, and ordered coldly: "Command all the ministries to start attacking Xincheng County after an hour!"

"promise!"

The generals took the lead.

"My lord, you don't have to be so angry. In fact, it's not a bad thing for Ji Ling not to move!" Cheng Pu looked at Sun Jian and said in a low voice: "I always feel that something is wrong in this battle. If Ji Ling holds the battle for us, it will make us feel better." Let's attack Xincheng with free hands and feet!"

"exactly!"

Sun Jian pondered for a while, then nodded, and said: "Since this is the case, then don't pay attention to them. The whole army will attack the new city. Keep their eyes here. After Cao's army turns around, they can directly conquer this city!"

"My lord believes in Cao Cao?" Cheng Pu asked suddenly.

"At this time, I will believe anyone who dares to catch up alone!"

Sun Jian flashed a bright light in his tiger eyes, and said: "Cao Mengde must have the heart of a Hanchen, and he will definitely fight with all his strength!"

……

Liang County, Northern Suburb, Liangdong Township.

Cao Jun's marching speed is not fast, only fifty miles a day. At this moment, he has just entered Liangdong.

"Report!"

"Say!" Cao Cao rode on the horse, his eyes flicked around.

"Liangdong Xiangcheng has been investigated, and there is no trace of the enemy!"

"The scouts continue to investigate south!"

"promise!"

The scout captain took the order and left.

"My lord, Liangdong is the place where Sun Wentai was defeated in the past. There are many places around here that are suitable for ambushes. Moreover, the terrain in Liangxian County is complicated. It may take two or three days for the scouts to investigate!" Cao Ren stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "The general suggested that we should be on the safe side. We will camp here for two days and check out the surrounding area!"

"No!"

Cao Cao shook his head: "We don't have much time, we must march as soon as possible!"

It wasn't that he didn't want to be cautious, but that time didn't allow it. If Mu Jing was allowed to pass through Wuguan, then they would have no chance to pursue them. If they entered Nanyang, they might not even be left with scum.

Therefore, they must conquer the new city as soon as possible, and only after taking the new city can they go directly south.

"promise!"

The generals could only nod their heads.

"Wen Qian, Manchester City!"

"Here!" [-] generals came out in response.

Le Jin and Le Wenqian, Li Dian and Li Mancheng.

Since Cao Cao issued the imperial decree to King Qin, apart from Xiahou and Cao’s sons and soldiers, there have actually been many heroes from all sides, Le Jin and Li Dian are the best of them. Li Dian was born in Julu, Shanyang, and was born in a noble family.

The two recruited more than a thousand young and strong in their villages, and then came to vote for Cao Cao, who was highly regarded by Cao Cao.

"You two led the army to town Liangdong!"

Although Cao Cao advanced aggressively, he could not be unprepared, so he asked the prudent Le Jin to lead his troops to meet Liangdong. If there was a mistake, there was still a way out.

"promise!"

Le Jin and Li Dian took orders.

Cao Jun continued to go south and began to advance into Liang County.

A day later, although Cao Jun's march was not fast, they arrived at the northern suburbs of Liang County and camped on the plains in the outskirts.

"Report to my lord, Liang County did not find any traces of enemy troops!"

Xiahou Dun led his troops into the city, and after a search, he came back to report.

"We don't enter the city!"

Cao Cao looked at Liang County, his eyes flickered with solemnity, and said in a deep voice: "Prepare to detour, from the small town of Manzhong, detour to ambush the rear wing of the new city, meet the Jiangdong army, and then break through the new city!"

"promise!"

The generals led their ministries forward, but someone reported it soon.

"My lord, the road ahead is blocked by falling rocks!"

"Are you sure the way is blocked by falling rocks from the mountain stream?"

Cao Cao became a little puzzled.

At this time, even if it was too coincidental, he would doubt it.

"I've already asked some local villagers. This situation has lasted for more than half a month, and the people of Liang County are rushing to repair it!" Cao Ren nodded: "We only need to wait for three to five days before we can pass!"

"There is no three or five days to wait, so detour, go east, walk along the mountain, cross Rushui, enter Manzhong from the east, pass Manzhong, detour as soon as possible!"

Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

Liang County is on the line of the Rushui River. Walking along Hebei and crossing Henan are all roads, but completely different roads can have different results.

"promise!"

The army continued to walk to the southeast suburbs of Liang County, crossed the Ru River, and walked southwest along the river, before approaching the small town of Manzhong, between a mountain pass called Funiu Mountain. And according to the east.

"kill!"

"Not a single one!"

"Huang Tian God is above, bless me to kill the enemy and win!"

In an instant, ambushes were everywhere.

"Enemy attack?"

"Ambush?"

"careful!"

"Quickly change the formation, defend the formation!"

When Cao Jun encountered an ambush, he was in chaos.

"How is it possible?" Cao Cao stared wide-eyed, watching the ambush soldiers coming out from all directions, a chill rose from his heart, and his voice trembled in a bleak voice: "They actually figured out that I would turn around and attack their rear wings, so they have already arranged Ready to ambush?"

This is not only the surprise of encountering an ambush, but also the kind of fear after one's own thoughts are guessed so simply.

"My lord, let's go!"

Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan led troops to meet the enemy, Cao Ren and Cao Hong brothers protected Cao Cao and broke out of the encirclement.

"Chase and kill!"

Huang Shao personally led the troops, charged bravely, and began to besiege and kill Cao Jun in a panic under the pressure of the general trend.

Cao Cao retreated all the way, suffering heavy casualties.

"My lord, get on your horse and cross the river!"

Cao Cao died in battle and was shot, Cao Hong hurriedly helped him onto his horse.

"What about you?"

Cao Cao was moved by Cao Hong's intention to give up his horse, and escaped from the battlefield, and his horse was like his life. Cao Hong gave his life to himself.

"There is no flood in the world, but there must be no father!" Cao Hong patted his horse's buttocks, sent Cao Cao up, and then said loudly to Cao Ren, "Brother, quickly escort the lord across the river and return to the north. I will lead the army to meet Yuan Rang. They, cross the bridge from upstream, and meet us on the north bank!"

"Yes!"

Cao Ren led hundreds of troops to escort Cao Cao across the river.

Then the Xiahou brothers broke out of the siege, and under Cao Hong's support, they quickly crossed a wooden bridge upstream and crossed the north bank of the bridge. After meeting, they went north along Liang County, collected remnants along the way, and retreated quickly.

But the Yellow Turban Army lay in ambush here for several days, ready to wait, how fierce the killing was, not only fighting on the south bank, but also chasing all the way, crossing the north bank, heading straight to Liang County, and pursuing all the way.

All the way to Liangdong.

Liangdong had Cao Cao's troops stationed there, and Le Jin and Li Dian led their troops out to meet Cao Cao's troops.

But after this battle, Cao Jun's 1 elite, now only has less than [-], and more than half of them have been damaged. With low morale, they are unable to fight anymore, so they can only slowly head north and retreat to Luoyang City.
