The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 559 Finding the Enemy
After fighting Cao Hong knew that he was not Huang Zhong's opponent, so he dared not fight again, so he said: "Huh, today I am tired of fighting against you, I will let you go today, and I will fight again tomorrow." .”

Huang Zhong smiled and did not argue with Cao Hong. He led his troops back to the city.Cao Hong also led the soldiers back to the camp. When he went back, a soldier ran over and said to him: "General Cao Hong, today my lord suffered heavy losses in attacking the north gate. The wooden shield that was carefully prepared was easily cracked by Li Yuan with a rocket. He let you Do not use wooden shields when attacking the city, otherwise you will return in vain."

"What, the wooden shield that my lord made so hard is useless?" Cao Hong didn't dare to believe it. He originally planned to use the wooden shield to attack the city tomorrow, but since Cao Cao said that the wooden shield was useless, he didn't dare to believe it. Can no longer use wooden shields, thinking that attacking Qiao County will be much more difficult than imagined.

After Li Yuan attacked and repulsed Cao Cao's attack, Huang Zhong, who was guarding the west gate, sent someone to report the battle situation at the west gate to Li Yuan. Cao Hong, it would be even better if he beheaded Cao Hong."

Although Li Yuan knew that Huang Zhong was lenient, he didn't blame Huang Zhong for it, because he knew Huang Zhong's character. If Huang Zhong didn't do that, he wouldn't be the real Huang Zhong.

At this time, Hua Xiong from the south gate also sent a battle report, saying that Cao Xiu's attack had been repelled. Cao Xiu also used the same method as Cao Cao to attack the city, but he was easily repelled by him with rockets, and Cao Xiu did not succeed.

Li Yuan was very satisfied with the second day's defense. They didn't have any casualties for two consecutive days. This kind of result is very rare, but he knows that the real tough battle will start tomorrow, and Cao Cao will definitely invest in attacking the city regardless of casualties.

"By the way, what's the situation over there with the Flying Cavalry Army?" Li Yuan suddenly remembered Zhao Yun's situation. He had already sent out smoke to get Zhao Yun to harass Cao Cao, but the Flying Cavalry Army never showed up, which proved that they must have encountered obstacles, otherwise they would not It may not have appeared until now.

"Returning to my lord, just now General Zhao sent someone to send a letter back saying that he was intercepted by Zhang Liao's cavalry, so he failed to appear, but he did not confront Zhang Liao head-on, because he was worried about being entangled by Zhang Liao, so he fought and retreated, and he has retreated. camp, but Zhang Liao did not continue to chase." This is the information that Xi Zhi just got.

"Why didn't Zhang Liao dare to chase after him? Could it be that he was afraid that I would set up an ambush for him?" Li Yuan guessed that the situation outside the city was obviously more unfavorable to the flying cavalry army. Zhang Liao did not pursue him, which gave Zhao Yun the opportunity to harass Cao Cao continuously.

"I think so too. Zhang Liao was worried that General Zhao would lure him to the ambush site, so he didn't keep chasing him down." Xi Zhicai had the same opinion as Li Yuan.

Li Yuan nodded and said: "No matter what, let the flying cavalry army contain the enemy's forces outside the city, but remember not to confront the enemy head-on. If you lose the enemy, you must return to the city immediately."

"My lord, don't worry, General Zhao has been marching and fighting for many years, he must know what to do." Xi Zhicai knew how powerful Zhao Yun was, even if they didn't tell Zhao Yun to know how to deal with it.

Li Yuan's side won for two consecutive days. Xiahou Yuan's soldiers and horses had not yet arrived at Xiaopei, but he had sent Xiahou Dun to lead 1 cavalry to Xiaopei first.Cao Cao gave Xiahou Yuan an army of [-] to attack Xiaopei, of which [-] were cavalry led by Xiahou Dun.

"Hurry up, we're about to reach Xiaopei." Xiahoudun urged, because he was a cavalryman, so his speed was much faster than Xiahouyuan's.

"General Xiahou, are we in too much of a hurry? Before we set off, the military adviser told us not to be impatient and to be careful along the way. After all, Li Yuan stationed a lot of soldiers and horses in Xiaopei, and cavalry alone can't win. "Man Chong said to Xiahou Dun that Man Chong is a calm person, so Liu Ye arranged for him to go with Xiahou Dun before departure, so as not to be too impatient.

"Hmph, what do you know? My good nephew was killed by Li Yuan. I want to attack Xiaopei as quickly as possible, and then attack Xiapi. Since he killed my nephew, I also want to kill his family." Xiahoudun was determined to avenge Xiahouheng, so he came with the fire of revenge in this battle. Originally, he planned to follow Cao Cao to attack Qiao County, because Li Yuan was in Qiao County, but Cao Cao arranged him for Xiaopei. , even if he is dissatisfied, he dare not disobey the order.

"But before we set off, the military commander told us not to march in a hurry, but to go to Xiaopei at a normal marching speed." Man Chong's task is to calm down Xiahoudun's head, so as not to delay the big event because Xiahoudun loses his mind, but he still underestimates Xiahoudun Impulsive.

"I wouldn't listen to Liu Ye's words. You don't need to say more. Now it's less than two hours away from Xiaopei. You only need to go a little further to reach Xiaopei to rest." After Xiahou Dun finished speaking, he ignored Man Chong. , Concentrate on your journey.

Man Chong shook his head helplessly, and could only follow Xiahou Dun, hoping that nothing would happen.Before they set off, they had found out that Xiaopei was guarded by Zhou Yu himself. As we all know, Zhou Yu is very good at using troops. Cao Cao was able to unify Hebei so quickly. Zhou Yu's credit is indispensable, so Liu Ye told them not to underestimate the enemy when facing Zhou Yu , otherwise it is very likely to fall into Zhou Yu's plan.

Xiahou Dun had already put Liu Ye's words behind him. The ten thousand cavalry had been marching for days, and they were a little tired. However, they could reach Xiaopei in two hours. They can rest.

At this moment, Xiahou Dun, who was running in the front, was surprised to find several figures appearing in the woods ahead, and he shouted, "Stop, who are you?"

Those people looked back and saw that it was Cao Jun. They couldn't help being surprised and said: "Why did Cao Cao's soldiers and horses come so fast? Go back and inform General Zhou!" After they finished speaking, they immediately mounted their horses and ran back.

After hearing what they said, Xiahou Dun concluded, "They must be scouts sent by Zhou Yu to inquire about the news, but they didn't expect us to arrive so soon, so we must take them down." Xiahou Dun wanted to catch Zhou Yu's scouts, In this way, Zhou Yu would not know the news of their march.

Xiahou Dun led the cavalry to chase into the grove.Man Chong looked at the surrounding terrain, the surrounding area was flat, and there was a small forest next to it. The forest was not too big, but it was enough to hide thousands of soldiers. It was easy to be ambushed, so he immediately stopped him: "General Xiahou, don't go into the woods, this may be Zhou Yu's trick."
