Three Kingdoms: The identity of the financial owner behind the scenes was exposed by Cao Cao

Chapter 348: Stepping on the Ice and Crossing the River, Take Kasaka Pass for me!!

Whoops.

Cao Yuan’s eyes gathered, and his gaze looked north.

I saw the snow and dust billowing and the cavalry figures of groups stepping on the snow.

A large banner of “Xiahou” flew in the snow and mist.

“Uncle Miaocai, you have finally arrived.”

A smile rose at the corner of Cao Yuan’s mouth.

The cavalry under Xia Houyuan’s command was the key to his surprise attack.

To mobilize soldiers and horses from the 200,000 army to Hedong, Ma Chao’s dense surrounding meticulous work will naturally detect it immediately and warn Ma Chao as soon as possible.

Cao Yuan’s strategy was not to use the main army, but to transfer troops from Youzhou.

After pacifying Hebei, in order to deal with Yuan Shao’s remnant enemies and guard against Hu people such as Xianbei and Karasuma, Cao Cao specially ordered Xiahou Yuan to form a Youyan cavalry in Youzhou.

Cao Yuan then invited Cao Cao and ordered Xiahou Yuan to lead this Youyan cavalry to the south to meet in Hedong.

Ma Chao only prevented them from going north to Hongnong’s soldiers and horses, and never dreamed that they would transfer Xiahouyuan’s headquarters far away in Youzhou.

“Go and greet my wonderful uncle.”

Cao Yuan smiled and went down to the city.

Not often.

Rolling iron rides up the bar.

Xia Houyuan, who was the first, couldn’t help but feel joy on his face when he recognized Cao Yuan.

“Yuan’er, long time no see!”

Xia Houyuan paused for a moment, and hurriedly smiled and threw up his hand: “Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!” ”

“It’s all my own family, why should my uncle see the outside like this.”

Cao Yuan smiled and helped Xia Houyuan up.

The uncle and nephew laughed, and then said something to each other.

The two had not seen each other for a long time, and Xia Houyuan shouted that he wanted to have a few drinks with Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan said: “I should have accompanied my uncle for a drink, but now time does not wait for anyone, after we cross the Yellow River and break through the Pusaka Pass, we will not be drunk or late!” ”

“The prince is reasonable!”

Xia Houyuan put away his addiction to alcohol and said cheerfully: “You order, I am at your disposal!” ”

Cao Yuan gave an order and led 15,000 Youyan cavalry to the west to attack Pusaka Pass.

Within two days, he arrived on the east bank of Pusaka Pass and joined Zhang Liao’s division.

In order to ensure that his tracks were not leaked, Cao Yuan ordered the whole army to launch a rapid attack on Pusaka Pass on the opposite bank in the early hours of the morning.

The officers and men of the whole army had a full meal, slept with the armor, and rested for a while.

Before you know it, the east has turned white.

As soon as Cao Yuan gave the order, the Wei generals shook their spirits and rushed out of the camp towards the river.

Before dawn.

Cao Yuan stood on the bank of the Yellow River, his eyes passing through the snow and fog, looking at the opposite bank.

The lights of Kasaka Pass loom in the snow.

All indications were that the defender on the opposite bank, Ma Tie, did not notice that his iron horse was close at hand.

“Your Royal Highness, the enemy army is unaware, order to cross the river!”

Xia Houyuan asked.

Cao Yuan nodded slightly, raised his whip and shouted: “Gentlemen of Youyan, the time has come for your performance, cross the river, and let me step on Pusaka Pass!” ”

Ten thousand ghost swallow knights, shouting wildly, changing the color of heaven and earth.

Xia Houyuan took the lead and rushed down the river beach with a dragging knife.

The Wei generals shook and flooded the frozen river.

Now the sky is freezing cold, the Yellow River is frozen three feet deep, and the Wei army is running wildly on it, as if walking on the ground.

Nearly 20,000 horsemen stepped on the ice and snow, crossed the Yellow River, and rushed straight to Pusaka Pass on the opposite bank.

When he approached the opposite bank, he suddenly saw the figure of Qin Jun on the opposite side.

“Could it be that Ma Tie’s kid was already on guard?”

Xia Houyuan became alert.

Cao Yuan did not believe it, and immediately opened his distant eyes to take a look.

Then he laughed.

There were indeed thousands of Qin pawns on the bank of the river, but they were not arraying for defense, but were gouging the ice.

“Ma Tie, this kid, has some insight and knows that our army will cross the Yellow River on ice, so he sent soldiers to gouge the ice.”

Cao Yuan sneered.

Xia Houyuan suddenly realized, and rejoiced: “Fortunately, His Highness’s strategy is timely, otherwise we will not be able to cross this Yellow River half a step late!” ”

Cao Yuan raised his horse whip and shouted, “Destroy this group of Qin pawns who are gouging ice first!” ”

Xia Houyuan waved his saber and summoned his soldiers, and then accelerated and rushed away.

Huang Kewen.

More than a thousand Qin sergeants were still sweating like rain, gouging the ice.

They muttered to themselves one by one, complaining in their hearts about their third son, who did not let them make a forest in the bed, but pulled them out to cut the ice.

“It’s all sharp, don’t be lazy!”

Ma Tie scolded.

Li Kan, the deputy general next to him, said: “Third Prince, we don’t need to gouge ice like this, it’s too cold now, and the hands and feet of the soldiers are going to freeze off.” ”

“If you wait any longer, the ice surface of the Yellow River will be thicker, which will be more convenient for Wei Jun to step on the ice and cross the river!”

“Before dawn, the ice must be chiseled for me!”

Ma Tie could not be questioned.

Li Kan was helpless, but said: “That said, but Zhang Liao on the other side, there are only five thousand soldiers and horses, even if he can step on the ice and cross the river, we are still afraid that he will not succeed?” ”

Ma Tie said.

After a moment of silence, he waved his hand: “I don’t care, anyway, my father ordered me to guard Pusaka Pass, I will guard it until nothing is lost, no matter how many Wei soldiers are on the other side, this ice must be chiseled for me!” ”

The third prince lost his temper, and Li Kan couldn’t help it, so he had to shake his head and sigh.

“Big brother, I will be able to hold this Pusaka Pass, you can rest assured to stick to the Tong Pass, I will never let you have worries.”

Ma Tie looked in the direction of Tongguan to the south, and his heart was secretly worried.

Just as his gaze turned back to the ice, he inadvertently glanced in the direction of the opposite shore.

His eyes moved, and he suddenly found something.

His eyes widened, not seeing through the wind and snow, and he looked carefully.

The next moment.

Ma Tie’s eyes burst open, and endless horror emerged.

A large banner of “Xiahou” looms in the snow.

Ma Tie was taken aback, didn’t have time to think about it, and hurriedly removed the snow stains on his face and looked closely again.

His frozen face was distorted and deformed in an instant.

Countless Wei army battle flags, leading countless black figures, loomed in the snow and mist, rolling closer.

Cavalry body!

It was tens of thousands of cavalry, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, stepping on the frozen Yellow River and killing in the direction of Pusaka Pass.

“So many cavalrymen?”

“How is this possible, Zhang Liao on the other side, obviously only five thousand soldiers and horses, when did so many cavalry appear?”

Looking at this ghostly appearance of Wei Jun Iron Horse, Ma Tie muttered and exclaimed, and the whole person was stunned.
