Three Kingdoms

.

Dongyuan fell in a short period of time. As Cao's army looted and replenished supplies in the city, the city suddenly fell into chaos. Cao's army looted wantonly, but there was no large-scale massacre.

It's not that Cao Jun suddenly understood what mercy is, but that there is no need to massacre.

want.

In the past, it was to conceal the whereabouts as much as possible, but now it is no longer necessary. The scarf may cause the people to resist and waste troops in vain, so it only needs to be panicked, and the people of Dongyuan will not resist if they know it. Will die, the life skill Wuchang musician Lei Suwuyi really indicates that it is off.

This is a frustrating fact.

There were obviously more people in Dongyuan City than Cao Jun, but these residents under the rule of the feudal dynasty did not have much sense of resistance. It seemed that it didn't matter who was their shepherd. Even if they killed Feng Ya Sheep, they would not be able to resist. As long as you don't kill yourself, you can pretend you didn't see or hear.

This is the loyal and filial people that the Han Dynasty has been pursuing, educating and cultivating for three to four hundred years. There was no resistance and it did not cause much trouble to Cao Jun.

Xia Houyuan successfully obtained sufficient supplies in Dongyuan City, and did not stay in Dongyuan County for a long time. He quickly fled Dongyuan County, which made the two brothers Sima Yi and Sima Fu who hurriedly arrived a little confused.

Before Xia Houyuan left, he set a fire.

When the fire reached their houses, the people in Dongyuan screamed and came out to put out the fire.

"Brother, are you sure it was Xiahou who did it? Could it be a bandit?" Sima Yi asked. My wound is still intact, but I can't put on the armor yet, but I can only make small movements.

From the moment Sima Yi chased him down, Xiong Yanlu had been sending people to keep an eye on Sima Yi. Sima Yi did not hesitate, "Let you go?"

The hussar scout picked up the stumbling rope, but it was cut directly by the blade of the spear. However, because the angle of the spear was right, it did not cut it immediately, so the scout in front cut the rope with a swing of his sword.

Everyone around him held his breath as much as possible and breathed carefully. Sima Yi said: "So you think you will be fooled?"

"Stand here? Hold you down?" Xiong Yanlu didn't understand at all, "Does this mean we are seeking death?"

For the scouts who were injured in the ambush, the prisoner said that Dongyuan's number was not small, nor was it about two or eight hundred people.

now

Locally, Cao Jun now has the upper hand.

Two cavalrymen, one on the right and one on the left, ran backwards along the edge of the road, behind the queue, while the remaining cavalry scouts were in front, keeping a distance. Those scouts were all elite, experienced, and quite fast, but they also maintained sufficient vigilance. They scanned the seven weeks and seemed to be ready to deal with various changes at any time.

Xia Houyuan pondered for a while, then glanced at Sima Yi, "Maybe...it's not possible...forget it, he will lead 700 people to follow the trail first...there must be fewer The purpose of sending scouts is to be at the rear... Remember, Ci is in charge of soldiers..."

It means that Cao Jun's intelligence is not that weak, but that Cao Jun's psychological quality and combat experience are weaker than Sima Yi's. In the battles of most troops, the role of generals is often downplayed, and the more important it is. The larger the battle, the more obvious it becomes. To put it simply, Dongyuan, led by Xiong Yanlu, has now been positively weakened, while Sima Yi seems to be timid because he is afraid of victory and thinks too little.

As a result, Xiahou Yuan turned the tide and held back and even killed Cao Zhen with a large number of soldiers. However, I, with a small number of troops, were defeated and lost!

Sima Yi was silent for a long time, then nodded and accepted the order, and then slowly led his seven hundred cavalry around Xiong Yan, searching for the traces left by Xiong Yan's cavalry and following them.

The hussars scouts who came out later seemed to have noticed something when they were approaching the trip rope. They tilted their bodies and were patrolling with their heads high. However, the speed of the war horses was very fast. When I raised my head, the ice had not yet reached the back of the trip rope... ...

At the end of the day, Cao Jun received the news that Cao Zhen was in the north and defeated Shi. It was more appropriate for Shaoduo. It can't even be said that Shaoduo was not worried and afraid. However, the people who waited for the oath army retreated into Hedong with their troops. I let it go before.

Do you want to go back to find Xia Houyuan now?

Cao Jun rushed down the slope in a few steps, looked into the distance, saw the smoke and dust rising nearby, and quickly waved his hands, "Hide everything! Prepare to fight!"

No matter what, Cao Jun's martial arts skills are much weaker than those of special soldiers. The war horse suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground with a neighing sound.

Cao Jun retracted his head from the dense bushes, and then waved his hands to indicate that they were in their positions.

Sima Yi was not injured, but I am not a general with weak martial arts skills.

After all, Dongyuan must be holding on to Cao Jun, which is equivalent to being surrounded by Xia Houyuan and others. So what kind of majestic city is Cao Jun City? No matter how hard it is to defend, it will die sooner or later, and is it even more confusing to go out?

Sima Yi's order was not to detach large forces to support Xiong Yanlu, but to assemble them to retreat as a whole.

Sure enough, when Sima Yi retreated as a whole to pursue, he was no longer ambushed by Sima Fu. However, Sima Yi did not notice that although my retreat as a whole reduced the risk, it also reduced the efficiency and speed of the search.

Xia Houyuan raised his head and looked into the distance. There seemed to be no meaningful meaning in his tone.

Several hussars screamed and fell off their horses, while the rest of the hussars shouted angrily, some picked up their crossbows to fight back, and some directly urged their horses to meet Cao Jun.

Although Cao Jun was bullied to death by Huang Zhong, my opponent at this time was Huang Zhong.

One of the two hussar scouts had time to retreat and turn around, but was crushed by a war horse. He immediately vomited blood and fell to the ground. Another cavalryman adjusted his body posture in time, followed the momentum of inertia, rolled twice on the ground, and then half-crouched on the ground. He also pulled out the sword from his waist and failed to defend. Get ready, shout in a low voice: "Enemy attack!"

I sent the liaison cavalry back in an attempt to get in touch with Xia Houyuan, but it also takes time for the cavalry to communicate with each other.

"This is all the more reason to delay it outside..." Xia Houyuan said, "Although some Dongyuan soldiers will die outside because of this, I can't tempt you to wait... Then the war, mercy is the master. Soldiers... very often, the outcome depends on who dares to fight... The harder Dongyuan fights outside, the fewer soldiers you will have to mobilize later, and it will not even be possible to mobilize Pingyang. soldiers... So I think you understand why you have to withdraw your troops so slowly?〗

Xiong Yanlu said: "Are you planning to escape?"

A mesh surface is as strong as a fist, but the area it sweeps is the same.

Seeing that there was no trap, the situation behind them was clear. The scout cavalry further ahead slowed down one after another. The remaining cavalry simply left the road and headed towards the two fields.

Xia Houyuan looked at Sima Yi's retreating back, then sighed and ordered the soldiers to retreat from the city to extinguish the flames and appease the people...

Cao Jun led his men to ambush in front of a large slope.

Before receiving the news, Xia Houyuan looked at the thick smoke and fire outside Cao Jun's county seat, and said with a little disappointment: "You just ran away like that?" Sima Yi asked the soldiers to check the surrounding traces, sent out warning posts, and had people treat the wounded. and injured horses, and asked about the situation of the battle. In fact, I was not far away from the rear scouts. I did not delay before receiving the alarm and rushed down immediately. However, I was still able to catch Cao Jun's tail, which was to avoid Sima Yi's panic.

It must be true that Dongyuan escaped with such difficulty. In other words, Xiong Yanlu will not be embarrassed to command troops in the future?

Sima Fu's war horse is also undamaged. We need to replenish the war horse. At this time, it was discovered that Cao Jun had run away.

It was an instinctive feeling, but I couldn't vaguely know where the problem was.

Now that Xia Houyuan asked Xiong Yanlu to lead people to track Xiong Yan, he may not have the intention to give Xiong Yanlu another chance, so Sima Yi had to do something bad, and the pressure of worrying about gains and losses made Sima Yi forget what Xia Houyuan just said to me later. , perhaps it is also because of the pain of the wound that I cannot think thoroughly and calmly.

Yu He is a national official, Xiao Tang丨 is determined by Shi Yi Zha Lian

After all, there are difficult things in this world, as long as you are willing to give up.

When Sima Yi arrived with a small force, there was no trace of Sima Fu under the official road, only some injured cavalry and war horses remained.

Therefore, Cao Jun only used one method, tripping the horse rope.

For a while I was thinking about what Dongyuan was going to do and where he would be, and for a while I was thinking about whether to continue chasing him like that or to slow down. The less I thought about it, the harder it became to be intense.

But at the last moment, Sima Yi took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

Not long after, the vanguard of seventy or eighty hussars appeared under the road.

However, although the reaction of the hussar scouts was very slow and their cooperation was very tacit, the Cao Jun and Xiong Yan soldiers who were ambushing on both sides of the road did not give us any less time to respond. At the moment when the trip horse rope was pulled up, the Dongyuan soldiers holding bows and arrows stood up from the bushes where they were ambushing, and fired sparse arrows at the decelerating hussar scouts.

That battle in Hedong was Xiong Yanlu's first time leading an army. How could it be Sima Yi's first time?

It is certain that Sima Yi divided his troops, so that Cao Jun's troops would fight back with their own bravery, and the special hussars could not resist Cao Jun's force, so they would not be eaten by Cao Jun's troops. There must be a small force in front of Sima Yi, so Xiong Yanlu will withdraw directly, leaving most of Xiong Yan to lead Sima Yi's circle, and then I will take the small force to sneak attack Hedong

The ambush location chosen by Xiong Yanlu was not a suitable and dangerous place for ambush in the "traditional" sense, such as dense forests, hunting passes, or ravine ridges, etc., but was on an abnormal road, so there were no chances at all. It was as expected by the hussar scouts.

Xiong Yanlu let out a small roar and rushed out from the slope with his elite bodyguards, heading towards the cavalry scout formation.

The larger the army, the more important the role of such generals is.

Especially before Sima Yi ended the group, because the movement of the small unit was far more obvious than that of the skirmishers, and the smoke was smaller, it prevented the Dongyuan scouts from staring at Sima Yi from a longer distance. Xiong Yanlu stared at Xiong Yanlu, firstly to see that Sima Yi had no intention of dividing his troops, and secondly to check that there were no other troops in front of Sima Yi.

Later, when I was in Beiqu, I almost surrendered on the battlefield, and almost failed. Although Xia Houyuan didn't say anything to me beforehand, Xiong Yanlu felt quite ashamed.

_, In the evening, did Sima Yi chase Xiong Yan? But it was not late yet, so I was ready to attack.

"How do you know if you are trying it?" Xia Houyuan frowned and said, "Why are you trying it?"

He was confident in Cao Jun's ability.

Although the overall trace of Sima Fu seems to be leaning towards Wangwu Mountain, it doesn't seem to be going in a circle.

The frightened bird was frightened. Is Dongyuan really going to escape back to the mountains?

The most important thing is that Xiong Yanlu has enough men and horses to stay in one place. Less is appropriate, more is meaningful, so it is better not to abandon Cao's army.

Under the leadership of Cao Jun, Dongyuan's troops came out and surrounded the seventy or eighty hussar scouts, hacking and killing them. However, the hussar scouts were suddenly ambushed. On the one hand, they lost their speed advantage. On the other hand, their numbers were sufficient, and even with personal force, they were no match for Cao's army. They were defeated very quickly, with only eight or seven remaining. The hussar scouts fled.

"You can see it that way. ” Bad... you were all dragged out there, how can such a peaceful place be..."

Before ambushing the rear of the hussar scouts, Cao Jun's troops stopped less, because I knew that the hussar scouts must be followed by a small force in front, so I immediately ordered to take away a few hussar war horses that could still move and collected them. He immediately fled the scene of the crime before supplying some bows and arrows...

Trapping a horse in a pit or building a horse to resist is obviously the least lethal to cavalry. Unfortunately, whether it is to trap a horse or to resist a horse, it takes a lot of energy and can only work in a fixed location.

The cavalry who were retreating in front had time to rein in their horses, but they reacted almost instantly. Not one of them pointed the tip of their spear directly under the ground, and the tip of the spear drew a long mark under the loess. , the cavalry in front drew out their sabers and stared closely at the road behind them.

I was wrong, I was shocked. Could it be that there are no other plans? Sima Yi touched his wound, feeling a dull pain. We just lost more than 70 men. It would be too embarrassing for me to go back like that.

.

"Now that the whereabouts have been revealed, there is no point in hiding anymore..." Xiahou Yuan said as he took the map from the guard's hand, "Look, there is Yuanshui outside. No matter how Xiahou hides, it is still the same." You may leave the water source... No matter how you retreat, you must follow that road... So it is not difficult to search for its traces... And if you stick to Xiong Yan's place, you can do worse. Are you holding me back?』

丨Eight o'clock in the night, I feel the kindness and magnetism of my skills: maybe I caught Dongyuan in the dream, showing

That seemed to make Sima Yi feel that my response was correct... In Sima Yi's mind, the thought of giving up never appeared for a moment. "found it!"

The trip horse rope is complex, useless, and easy to carry. It cannot be used seven times before recycling. Before the trip horse rope is soaked in mud, it is too incompatible with the loess ground. It can be seen from the Purple Horse Law.

Xia Houyuan suspected that those who attacked Cao's army were bandits. Of course, it could also be several Dongyuan troops, or even tens of thousands of Dongyuan troops...

But there were no night vision goggles in the Han Dynasty after all. Near dawn, when S was at his most exhausted, Cao Jun's men came into Sima Yi's camp... Yan Lu waved her horse and let out a small roar. , swung away the sword that was struck by the hussar on the opposite side, and P moved towards the belly of the hussar scout. The sharp horse-mounted knife stabbed deeply along the cavalry scout's lower abdomen. The long handle of the horse frame bent with difficulty, and Xiong Yanlu shook her hands, knocking the hussar scout off the horse, and then stabbed another cavalryman.

"If it's Xia Hou..." Xia Houyuan said, "What kind of special bandit doesn't have that kind of courage... Just passing... Then why did Dongyuan stop at Cao Junshao?"

Cao Jun's strategy was flexible, but Sima Yi even forgot Xia Houyuan's explanation.

Suddenly attacked, none of the hussars instinctively raised their shields to cover themselves, or made moves on horseback to dodge the arrows, but still only a few cavalrymen were shot at close range. The bow and arrow are so powerful that they cannot be compared with the pistols in the previous life. If the bullet is shot into something with thicker armor,

There is no certain immunity probability in 9 places. If you accidentally get shot into a gap in the armor, or a weak spot...

One of the confidants was lying on the ground with his ear to the ground.

According to the words of the fleeing officials of Cao Jun, what about tens of thousands of soldiers, what about overwhelming momentum, what about struggling to resist, what about being able to defeat the enemy in a bloody battle, and why having to endure pain and retreat in order to report the situation in Dongyuan in time, Xiong Yanlu Not even a single word is appropriate.

That made Cao Jun click his tongue involuntarily, with little emotion... "Why, you can't rest assured?" Xia Houyuan still looked into the distance, did he look back at Sima Yi?

"Stay less?" Sima Yi had no idea.

Sima Yi's camp was relatively standard. Because although Sima Yi was said to have special abilities as a commander, the hussars on top of him still followed the regulations of the drill and retreated to the camp layout. They also set up a few sentry posts and watched Qiye warily.

Except for the first batch of seventy cavalrymen who were lost in the ambush of Cao Jun, Sima Yi did not suffer any losses. My caution allowed me to go smoothly in the subsequent pursuit. The scouts also found some traces, shallow pits, tripping ropes, etc., but there was no figure of Dong Yuan, which means that Dong Yuan at most did not consider ambush again, but because Sima Yi pushed back as a whole, Dong Yuan gave up. .

But as the chase continued, Sima Yi felt that nothing was right anymore.

Seeing the hussars scouts who were still confused and panicked despite the sudden change, Cao Jun could not help but secretly praise them. Those hussars were indeed very elite, and they cooperated with each other tacitly. It was strange that the hussars could not dominate the sky with cavalry.

Suddenly, this confidant raised his head and said, "General, here we come!"

Sima Yi suddenly realized, "Is this just to impress you?"
