I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 563 The chased hero
"Whoosh!"

"Whizzing!"

Sharp arrows were shot from behind, and two more running knights were shot off their horses. One of the knights had not completely expired. He just fell off the horse, but after falling off the horse, he still shouted in terror. .

Han Dang, who was galloping at the front, felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife when he heard the shouts rising from behind.

But he can't look back at this moment, he has an extremely important task on his shoulders.

He took Liu Bei's order to break out of the siege and go to Tancheng to invite Tao Qian's reinforcements.

Behind Han Dang and other people who were breaking through, Cao Chunzheng led a group of elite cavalry to follow them.

Cao Chun had a resolute face and a mighty look. He was wearing fine armor and was looking at Han Dang's group not far away with keen eyes.

He was not in a hurry to kill all of Han Dang's group, he just took his time and asked his men to follow them closely and not to fall behind.

In accordance with Cao Ren's order, he killed the people in the conflict, but he did not intend to completely eliminate them. At the last moment, he only waited for one or two people from the opponent to be left before letting them go.

As Cao Ren said, it was impossible for Tao Qian to send troops to assist Liu Bei.

Wouldn't it be better to let those who went to rescue Liu Bei bring back even more desperate news?

Cao Chun couldn't help but laugh proudly when he thought of his brother-in-law's expression.

"Chase me. Don't kill them all at once. Just leave a few to let them escape. Let them report the news to Mr. Tao Qian. I want to see if Mr. Tao Qian can come. !”

At this time, Cao Chun was in a good mood. In his opinion, the remaining ten or so Mercedes-Benz knights in front of him were already within his grasp.

Now Cao Chun is teasing them like a cat catching a mouse!

Cao Jun in the rear is still pursuing, and one of his own personnel will fall in a short time...

These knights are all the most elite warriors among the Qingzhou soldiers. Every time one of them is killed, for Han Dang, it is like cutting flesh from his body.

If it were in the past, Han Dang would have gone back and fought to the death with Cao Chun.

But now, no matter what difficulties he has, any unwillingness, or any grievances, he will swallow them.

No matter what, he must complete the tasks assigned to him by Liu Bei.

……

……

In fact, Liu Jian's group had been arriving nearby for some time, but under the command of Guan Yu, the four thousand Liaodong Army were lurking in the mountains and forests, and were not in a hurry to go out to attack Sun Jian or Cao Ren.

Sun Jian had more than [-] troops under his command, and Cao Ren brought nearly [-] troops this time. According to Liu Jian's analysis, although the [-] Liaodong troops he led were powerful, it was still very difficult to defeat the opponent directly. of.

Of course, if you adopt a sneak attack method and suddenly send troops to cover up the attack, you can succeed, but you only have one chance.

Therefore, Liu Jian must seize this opportunity, at least to achieve the strategic goal of rescuing Liu Bei's army from Yixian.

Liu Jian, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, these three people have been marching for many years.

They have recently been ambushing in the mountains and forests to control the actions of Liaodong sergeants.

Although Cao Jun and Sun Jian's attention is currently on Liu Bei, their whereabouts will not be discovered easily.However, once there is the slightest oversight and the other party detects any clues, all the efforts made in this effort will be in vain.

For the three Liu Jian brothers, he would never allow this kind of thing.

However, not going out easily does not mean that they do not carefully detect the enemy's movements.

Including Cao Ren and Sun Jianjun, people in the Liaodong Army were watching their actions twelve hours a day and reporting the latest news to Liu Jian at any time.

The three Liu Jian brothers have been in the army for many years. They don't need to know too much about the other side's deployment. They only need to know roughly the location of Cao Ren and Sun Jian's camp, how many meals the other side's sergeants eat every day, the time to light the fire for each meal, including their patrols every night. The number of soldiers can roughly infer the current status of Cao Ren and Sun Jian's army.

It is even more possible to analyze the current psychology of Cao Ren and Sun Jian.

According to the details reported to Liu Jian by the scouts every day, Liu Jian probably knew the situation of Cao Ren and Sun Jian.

He analyzed that Cao Ren and Sun Jian's attention was now on Liu Bei.

According to their night patrol deployment, the position of the camp showed that they did not think that any troops would raid from the outside to rescue Liu Bei.

Moreover, they were not in a hurry to attack, indicating that Cao Ren's main purpose was to capture Liu Bei alive.

Liu Jian just thought about it for a moment and knew that Cao Ren's purpose in capturing Liu Bei alive was to threaten him.

This Cao Zixiao is indeed Cao Cao's most capable general. At this time, he did not forget to plan for Cao Cao's future development.

If it were an ordinary general, his primary purpose would definitely be to kill Liu Bei and establish his merits.

But this is also good for Liu Jian. He doesn't have to rush into the siege immediately for rescue. He only needs to assess the situation and see the right opportunity.

Liu Jian now makes a surprise attack to cover up the killing. He will definitely win a great victory by attacking Cao Ren with cavalry, but his key problem now is that he cannot contact Liu Bei.

A victory over Cao Ren does not mean much to Liu Jian. He needs Liu Bei to cooperate with him. When he wins, he can take the opportunity to lead his troops out. The two armies will join together to boost their morale with the power of a great victory. Escape quickly.

The tactics are very simple, but very difficult to operate.This is the disadvantage of an era without communication facilities.

Although their brotherly love is deep, the Liu brothers are not so close that they can understand each other's thoughts without speaking.

Liu Jian was in the mountains and forests recently, thinking about this matter for three days.

But he hasn't come up with any good method in the past three days.

But tonight, Liu Bei of Yixian County suddenly took action.

The news was quickly brought back by the scouts.

Liu Jian heard that Liu Bei actually took the initiative to attack at night, and thought to himself: Could it be that my brother Xuande ran out of food in the county and was forced to break through by force?

If this is the case, then he needs to react quickly, attack the camp where Liu Bei raided from behind, and then attack from inside and outside to break the opponent's blockade and let Liu Bei's army rush out.

So, Liu Jian, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu came to a mountain in the forest.

They had previously searched for this mountainous area to observe the situation of Cao Ren's army.

The hillside is gentle, so you can go up or down quickly.

Although it was dark night, they could roughly deduce the situation on the battlefield just by relying on the intensity of the fire, the shouts of killing, the location of the fire, and the size of the fire.

After all, as far as this is concerned, Liu Guan and Zhang are all veterans.

Guan Yu, who has been marching in Liaodong and outside the Great Wall all year round, is the most proficient in night fighting.

He just glanced at the location and size of the fire, and he could tell something was wrong.

"Brother, Xuande seems to have no intention of breaking out today."

Liu Jian nodded: "Yes, the fire is not big, and judging from the location of the fire, it seems to be outside Cao's camp. It seems that Xuande adopted the method of attacking in the east and attacking in the west."

Zhang Fei is now a veteran on the battlefield, and he can guess what Liu Bei is going to do.

"Brother Xuande wants to send people to break out and then ask for help."

Hearing this, Liu Jian nodded with satisfaction.

"What Yide said is true."

"Xuande is also a veteran who has been in the military for many years. Xuande also knows the news about us in Xuzhou."

"It's just that he also knows that we don't have many soldiers and horses. If my prediction is correct, Xuande pretended to sneak attack Cao Ying, sent people to break out of the siege during the chaos, and went to Tancheng to ask for help. I hope Tao Qian can send troops to support."

"If Tao Qian's troops arrive, they can help us share part of the pressure, and Xuande will be able to break out of the encirclement more easily."

Guan Yu said while stroking his long beard.

"If Brother Xuande's troops can be relieved, they can return to Xuzhou and help defend the northern border of Xuzhou."

"According to the current situation, as long as Brother Xuande's army is rescued, Tao Qian will have the possibility to consolidate his foundation in the future."

Liu Jian's face showed a bit of regret.

"What a pity. Although Guan Yunchang knows this truth, Tao Qian may not do it."

Guan Yu was surprised when he heard this: "Why didn't Tao Qian do this?"

"Yun Chang, you have traveled across the Northland, opened up the desert, and wiped out the three Koreas over the years. Your vision has been much higher than those of these figures in the mainland."

"Although Tao Qian comes from a good background, he doesn't have a big picture. If you point at him and you can see the current situation clearly, then you can wait."

"And even Tao Qian can see the current situation clearly."

"He may not be willing to use his remaining troops to save Xuande."

"This is something Xuande hasn't thought through."

"It's just that Xuande hasn't thought it through, but I don't know if Cao Cao can figure it out."

When he said this, Liu Jian looked at Zhang Fei beside him.

"If Yide Xuande sends a small number of soldiers to fight outside, they must go through the small road east of Cao Ren's camp. It is the most suitable place for a small number of troops to break out... Now you can quickly lead a group of troops there to meet them and see if they can rescue them. Whoever comes out will be rescued... Yun Chang, you are also preparing troops here, we may have to take action tonight."

Guan Yu heard this and said, "Brother, don't you wait any longer?"

"No wait, since Xuande can come up with this strategy, it means that he is already at the end of his rope, and continuing like this is not an option."

"Since he has sent troops to break out tonight, it means that Xuande will always be watching the situation on the battlefield of Cao Ying from the top of Yicheng. I will find a way to send him a signal when I go there, maybe I can rescue him."

"promise!"
