Unparalleled Huaxiong of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 285 The mortal mission

grunt
Cao Ren swallowed, and asked the scout, "How many people did Xu Huang bring?"

The scout slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Not many! Only 1 people!"

Cao Ren suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but it was okay, there were not too many people, only 1 people, and there were more than 2 people on his side.

"It's all the kind of useless cavalry riding on pony horses and holding scimitars just now!"

Pfft!
Nima made a *!

Cao Ren's feet went limp, and he almost fell to the ground. Now he even had the urge to slash the scout in front of him.

The kind of useless cavalry riding a pony and holding a machete just now?
What the hell is 1 people?

Brother, that's a prairie horse with short legs and good stamina. You call it a pony?

Also call him a waste cavalry?

Oh yes, Cao Ren just remembered that this guy only knew that he had wiped out the three thousand cavalry just now, but he didn't see how the three thousand cavalry killed his two ambush soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables.

Cao Ren ordered to the soldiers behind him, "Go and ask Mr. Zhong De to come here."

"promise!"

A personal soldier rushed towards Cheng Yu immediately after taking the order, at this moment Cao Ren turned his head to look at the first scout who yelled "There is a ghost" just now, and asked, "What happened to you? "

The scout was trembling all over, and tremblingly said to Cao Ren: "General Qi, the villain just found a cavalry force of nearly ten thousand who looked like ghosts a mile away!"

Jiro!

Cao Ren pulled out the saber from his waist, put it on the scout's neck, and said in a cold voice:
"I, Cao Zixiao, have always been strict in running the army, but I don't want my subordinates to have such a waste like you! How dare you openly tell my general about ghosts and gods in broad daylight. Is it so easy to fool me as a general?!"

The scout immediately cried: "General, spare your life! General, spare your life, the villain really saw it!"

"Those ghosts all have hideous faces, and they are riding towards the general on tall horses!"

"It must be that we have offended the mountain god here, and specially invited the god of the underworld to punish us!"

Originally, Cao Ren just wanted to show off and teach the scout a lesson. After all, those who can become scouts are also the best in the army, but when the scout said the last sentence, two special expressions flashed in Cao Ren's eyes. Light, one is pity, and the other is coldness full of killing intent.

It's all right to openly preach the theory of ghosts and gods, and you will never be spared if you disturb the morale of the army!

Cao Ren had already heard a slight commotion among the soldiers behind him, Cao Ren's eyes narrowed immediately, huh!
In an instant, Cao Ren chopped off the head of the scout with a sword!
After that, Cao Ren stared coldly at the corpse on the ground, and ordered behind him:
"Left and right, tidy up and build a simple grave."

"promise!"

Immediately, Cao Ren's personal guards stepped forward to dispose of the scout's body, and just as Cao Ren had just put his sword back into its sheath, there was a sound of horseshoes at the foot of the mountain, and another scout ran over.

"Report! General! 1 cavalry were found from the west and north, of which 1 rode pony horses with scimitars, and the other [-] rode tall black silk horses with ghost masks on their faces. Both cavalry are rushing here at high speed!"

Cao Ren's face tightened immediately, and after he glanced at the corpse on the ground, he immediately walked down the mountain, and just halfway there, he met Cheng Yu who was going up the mountain. Know that something bad is going to happen.

Cao Ren came to the big hole dug to prevent the Subutai cavalry from attacking up the mountain. At this time, a simple pontoon bridge had been built on the big hole, and the scouts just came up the mountain through the pontoon bridge.

Cao Ren glanced at the pontoon bridge, and then ordered: "Quickly order everyone below the mountain to retreat to the mountain immediately, and then make the hole bigger and deeper, and finally destroy the pontoon bridge after everyone goes up the mountain!"

"promise!"

After the soldiers who delivered the order left, Cheng Yu asked Cao Ren, "General Zixiao, on this mountain, there is neither food nor water."

"I know!"

Cao Ren interrupted Cheng Yu's words with a sneer, and Cao Ren also noticed that his tone was a bit wrong. He said to Cheng Yu, "Mr. Zhongde, Ren was a little reckless just now."

Cheng Yu stretched out his hand to stop him:
"General Zixiao, needless to say such useless polite words, what happened?"

Cao Ren stared into Cheng Yu's eyes, and said word by word: "Mr. Zhongde, we are in trouble."

At the moment, Cao Ren told Cheng Yu about the severe situation he was facing, and Cheng Yu, who was nearly fifty years old, also frowned. According to Cao Ren's description, the difference in combat strength between the enemy and us was too great.

Cheng Yu thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and asked Cao Ren, "General Zixiao, the forests here are lush and the wind is favorable to our army. Is there any fuel in the army?"

Cao Ren shook his head and said, "We crossed the river from Yanzhou for a long-distance attack, and we didn't have any instructions beforehand. How could we bring that thing?"

After Cao Ren finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Cheng Yu. After a while, they both said at the same time:

"Pot off!"

Cao Ren suddenly said excitedly: "That's right! There must be Huguan! That thing is hard to carry. When Zhang Yang escapes, the defenders here must have no time to bring kerosene. Huguan is Zhang Yang's fortress to defend Jizhou. There must be such things as kerosene." !"

Cheng Yu nodded, and was about to say something, but suddenly seemed to think of something, and then the excitement in Cheng Yu's eyes faded away, and he said to Cao Ren in frustration:

"General Zixiao, this place is still some distance away from Huguan, and the scouts have reported that Huguan is not yet in the hands of the Jizhou army. If we want to go to Huguan to grab fire oil, I'm afraid there will be too little time on the way."

Hearing what Cheng Yu said, Cao Ren said harshly: "Time is running out, so let's set up a dead man to delay the time. If Huguan is not in the hands of the Jizhou army, then we will take him into our own hands!"

"If we can take Huguan, we can retreat from Han Fu's Jizhou to Yanzhou!"

When Cao Ren said this, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. If his plan really succeeded, then Cao Hong in Anyi would be completely hopeless.

Cheng Yu nodded and didn't speak, Cao Ren immediately called to stop the soldier who was about to jump down to continue digging, and then ordered: "Stop digging, the whole army is assembled at the foot of the mountain!"

Soon, more than 2 Cao troops gathered at the foot of the mountain. At this time, Cao Ren could already feel the vibrations from the ground. Cao Ren looked at the two spearmen's lords, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

The two military lords saw each other and looked at each other, then came out and said to Cao Ren:
"General, don't worry! As long as one of us can stand up today, we will never let the enemy pass through here!"

A tinge of guilt arose in Cao Ren's heart. The current mission is basically a mortal end. Cao Ren nodded, turned his horse's head around and ordered:
"Target Huguan, the whole army advances!"
