The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 138 Ambush on the Mountain
Chen Gong didn't expect Lu Bu to be so well-planned, and he had already sent people to follow him to prevent him from escaping. It seems that Lu Bu is also stupid. How could he be an opponent of a group of soldiers with a powerless literati? He wanted to stay in the green hills Not afraid of running out of firewood, he said, "Masters, don't misunderstand me. I just want to come out for a private visit. Since General Lu attaches great importance to me, I will go back with you."

"Hmph, you know me, let's go." The soldiers took Chen Gong back to the prefect's mansion and locked him up.

At this time, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao had been chasing Li Yuan for nearly half an hour, but instead of getting closer, the distance was getting farther and farther, because the cavalry under Li Yuan's command were light cavalry, and their speed was faster than that of Lu Bu's Bingzhou iron cavalry. That's why I couldn't catch up after chasing for so long.

Seeing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but anxiously said: "Wen Yuan, when we go on like this, when will we catch up with Li Yuan? It's almost half an hour. Can we just watch them run away?"

Zhang Liao had already suffered such a loss. When he confronted Gongsun Zan at Hulao Pass, Gongsun Zan also led Bai Mayi around in circles. He tried his best but failed to catch up. Now Li Yuan is like this again, but the only thing to be thankful for It was this time that he went out with a shield, which made the enemy's cavalry and shooting useless.

"My lord, don't worry. I don't believe that guy Li Yuan will keep running. There will always be a time when he gets tired. Then we can wipe them out in one fell swoop." Anyway, there is no threat of cavalry and shooting, so Zhang Liao is not afraid, and Li Yuan is on the run. This place is not suitable for ambushes either. Their cavalry come and go without a trace, even if there is an ambush, they can retreat immediately. This is the speed advantage of the cavalry.

Li Yuan and Lu Bu staged a scene of chasing each other, while Hou Cheng, Hao Meng, Cao and Song Xian on the other side led the infantry to follow behind, but how could they catch up with the cavalry at their speed, so they chased After a period of time, they chose to give up and rest where they were, waiting for news from Lu Bu.

"Hey, so is General Zhang Liao. If we follow them, won't we run to our death?" Cao Xing couldn't help complaining. They were leading infantry, so how could they possibly catch up with the cavalry? What a waste of energy.

"Cao Xing is right, we might as well rest and wait here." Hao Meng suggested, his mouth was already parched after running for so long.

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do this." Hou Cheng felt that it would be better to follow Zhang Liao's army. After all, the military order is like a mountain, and it is not allowed to change the order at will.

"Hahahaha, General Hou Cheng is too cautious. It's useless for us to chase like this. How can it be possible to catch up with the horses with the footpower of infantry, and the lord is extremely brave. Once he catches up, Li Yuan will definitely be defeated by him. We Let's just wait for the good news of the Lord's victory and return." Cao Xing didn't care so much, found a clean stone and sat down, took out a water bag from his arms and poured it into his mouth vigorously.

Seeing Cao Xing like this, Song Xian and Hao Meng also sat down, and asked the soldiers to find a cool place to rest, drink water, and sleep, so comfortable.

Seeing this, Hou Cheng had no choice but to sit down and rest, thinking that what Cao Xing said was also reasonable, it was impossible for them to catch up with Lu Bu without horses, and it would be better to wait where they were than to waste the strength of the soldiers.

Just before everyone had a break for a cup of tea, suddenly there was a burst of shouting from the mountain not far away, countless flags were erected, and groups of soldiers rushed down from the mountain. It looks like there are at least tens of thousands of people.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

I don't know who shouted it first, Cao Xing and the others stood up in a hurry, seeing countless enemy soldiers suddenly appearing in front of them like divine soldiers, he was instantly stunned, pointed at the enemy soldiers on the mountain and asked: "What's going on, what's going on, why are there soldiers ambushing here?"

The mood of everyone who had just relaxed for a short time suddenly became tense. They thought they could take a good rest, but they didn't expect that there would be an enemy army ambushing them, and there were so many people, at least two or three times their number.

A deputy general went to Cao Xing and reported: "General Cao, there is an enemy attack, please organize soldiers to resist the enemy immediately."

"They are almost running in front of me, of course I know there is an enemy attack," Cao Xing slapped the deputy general, and cursed, "Why didn't you send out scouts to look around? If I had sent out scouts earlier, I would have discovered the ambush earlier. gone."

The deputy general touched his hot cheek helplessly, thinking that you, Cao Xing, are the chief general, you ran to rest by yourself and didn't order scouts, of course they didn't go, and felt extremely wronged.

Seeing that the enemy was about to kill him, Hou Cheng didn't care too much about Cao Xing. He quickly mounted his horse and shouted: "Everyone who is resting, get up and get ready to fight the enemy."

"Your uncle, this kid Li Yuan is really cunning. He is still here to ambush soldiers and horses. It is really abhorrent. If I meet him, I will definitely eat him alive." Cao Xing scolded while riding on the horse.

In fact, this was a plan that Li Yuan and Guo Jia discussed in advance. Li Yuan went to Puyang to challenge Lu Bu, and then asked Cao Cao, Huang Zhong and others to go to a nearby mountain to ambush soldiers and horses while they were fighting Lu Bu. Then Li Yuan took advantage of the speed of the cavalry. To lure Lu Bu to pursue and keep Lu Bu away from the infantry under his command. As long as Lu Bu is away, the combat power of his soldiers will be greatly reduced, and the cavalry is so fast that the infantry cannot catch up. Can take the opportunity to wipe out the infantry in one fell swoop.

Zhang Liao pursued cautiously along the way, fearing that Li Yuan would have an ambush, but he didn't know that Li Yuan's intention was not with Lu Bu, but the infantry under his command, unfortunately Chen Gong was not with them, otherwise they would definitely be able to expose this trick.

A group of people rushed down from the mountain first, with "Huang" written on the flag, and it was none other than Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng who came!

"You are already in ambush, hurry up and get off your horse and surrender!" Huang Zhong's voice was like a bell, even though it was very noisy, his voice could still be heard clearly throughout the battlefield.

When Hou Cheng saw that it was Huang Zhong, he immediately turned pale with fright. He had heard of Huang Zhong's name for a long time, not to mention seeing Huang Zhong defeat Lu Bu's number one general Zhang Liao with his own eyes at Hulao Pass. He knew that his martial arts were far inferior to Zhang Liao, let alone Speaking of Huang Zhong who defeated Zhang Liao.

"Hmph, I don't care who you are Huang Zhong, Hong Zhong, Hei Zhong, Bai Zhong, you are unlucky to meet me, Cao Xing, and take my life!" The general of the army will be cut off from the horse, so that the morale can be revived, and there is no need to be afraid even if he is ambushed.

"You are so brave, dare you to report your name, let me, Huang Zhong, come and meet you for a while!" Huang Zhong's eyes were like lightning, and his eyes were fixed on Cao Xing.

Cao Xing trembled uncontrollably when Huang Zhong stared at his body. Even he didn't know why, but he thought that he couldn't lose his momentum when he lost anything, so he forced himself to be calm and said: "I am Cao Xing, a general under General Lu. Come and fight me for three hundred rounds!"
