The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 334 Helpless Cao Cao

Cao Cao was really panicked. From Shangyong to Xudu, it was nearly a thousand miles away, not to mention the farther east of Yuzhou and Yanzhou. It was too far away, a proper journey of more than 1000 miles , I am afraid that the most elite cavalry will be sent to Yuzhou day and night, and it will be difficult to return to the rescue in less than ten days, after all, the distance is too far away.

More than 1000 miles of journey, thousands of miles of running, even if a person can bear it, a war horse cannot bear the consumption of running for a long time!
However, it happened that it was Liu Xiao and Yue Fei who launched the attack this time, the two famous generals he feared most in the world, any one of them was enough for Cao Cao to drink a pot, let alone the two famous generals attacking separately?
"My lord, what should I do now?"

Chen Qun, who was with the army, couldn't sit still, and asked anxiously.

Cao Cao sighed resentfully, and replied: "What can we do? Now we can only withdraw the army and return to aid. It's just Hanzhong. Although Li Shimin is difficult to deal with, he is still far away from threatening us, but Liu Xiao But it is a serious problem in reality, whether it is Yanzhou or Yuzhou, there is no room for loss, we must return to the army immediately and rush to help Xudu!"

"But, let Li Shimin go like this? If we go on like this, we can completely defeat Li Shimin's defenders in five days at most, and then occupy Hanzhong, dividing Liangzhou and Yizhou into two halves!"

Chen Qun smiled wryly.

Cao Cao shook his head and replied: "It's just Hanzhong, with a population of only a few hundred thousand. How can it be compared with Yuzhou and Yanzhou? If Liu Xiao occupies Yuzhou or Yanzhou, it will really be impossible to reverse the gap between us. Liu Xiao who owns five states, even if we unite with Liu Bei, it will be difficult to gain the upper hand!"

Even if Cao Cao is unwilling in every possible way, he can only withdraw his troops hastily now.

Cao Cao beat the drum to raise his tent, and looked at the generals around him. Xia Houyuan had already died in battle. The generals in front of him were Le Jin and Cao Ren. Li Shimin's strength is three or four times that of Li Shimin's, so he can naturally be suppressed, but once the troops are withdrawn, it will be different.

"Zixiao, you and Xiong Kuohai led [-] troops to stay in Fufeng Jingzhao area, strengthen defense, and guard day and night. This Li Shimin in front of you is by no means comparable to ordinary people. What's more, Li Shimin has Lu Bu to help, and it is even more difficult to resist the enemy. You sit in the town Fufeng, just stick to it, no matter what happens, don't take the initiative to attack, so as not to be taken advantage of by Li Shimin!"

Cao Ren quickly nodded in agreement.

Cao Cao went on to say: "Zhongkang and Lejin, lead [-] fine cavalry to ride with me day and night, return to Xudu first, and rush to help Gongze; Changwen, you will command [-] cavalry behind and then rush to help, don't delay you along the way. , Liu Xiao and Yue Fei are both wise and brave, handsome talents who plan strategies from afar. No one can imagine where Liu Xiao and Yue Fei will attack half a month later. The army immediately abandoned the camp. city!"

Cao Cao gave an order, and the army retreated like a tide.

On the opposite side, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, Cao Cao finally retreated, and he was still a little bit arrogant. If Liu Xiao hadn't sent troops to attack Cao Cao's back, Ma Teng's cavalry alone would never have been able to force Cao Cao to retreat. Fortunately, no matter what, Hanzhong was saved. This is a victory. Now it depends on when Li Xiaogong and Ma Chao can win the whole Yizhou.

As for chasing Cao Cao, Li Shimin has such thoughts, but now Li Shimin's army has gone through a series of battles, and it has been exhausted, and there are only 5000 to [-] people who can maintain its combat power. It's just asking for a dead end, it's better to stay in Hanzhong honestly, and don't compete with Cao Cao for a while!

The battle in Hanzhong came to an end, Cao Cao withdrew his troops, Li Shimin withdrew his troops and returned to Nanzheng, and the whole Hanzhong became quiet.

However, Bingzhou has undergone drastic changes now.

When Ma Teng's [-] cavalrymen just started, they were indeed invincible, winning consecutive battles. Cao Hong was no match for Ma Teng's Xiliang cavalry at all. At this time, Ma Teng finally met a formidable opponent - Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!

Tiger and leopard cavalry, this is the most elite heavy cavalry under Cao Cao. Although there are not many troops, their fierce combat power is the best in the world, and they are the ace power in Cao Cao's hands. The last property was released.

The two sides had a big battle outside Taiyuan County, and Ma Teng didn't take advantage of it. Instead, he brought his nephew Ma Wan into the battle.

Cao Zhang, who was only 20 years old, led the army to fight and met Ma Wan head-on. Although the unlucky Ma Wan was powerful, he was definitely not in the same order when facing Cao Zhang. In just a dozen rounds, he was stabbed by Cao Zhang with a halberd Next, the tiger and leopard cavalry attacked, and defeated the vanguard cavalry played by horses!

If it weren't for Ma Teng's timely response, I'm afraid Ma Wan's vanguard cavalry would be reimbursed by Cao Zhang.

When Ma Teng had nothing to do and was in a dilemma, the news of Liu Xiao's invasion of Yanzhou reached Bingzhou. Cao Hong and Cao Zhang's uncle and nephew did not dare to neglect, and led the main force of the army to retreat all the way to Shangjun, even ignoring Taiyuan City. The news of Xiao's advance to the army shocked Cao Jun too much, and this old enemy was too deterrent to Cao Jun.

Ran?

Ma Teng's mental head suddenly came up, Liu Xiao's attack came at the right time, how could I let you run away so casually, Ma Wan was killed by Cao Zhang, no matter what you say this time Just play revenge and revenge!

Ma Teng gave an order, and all the main cavalry under his command were dispatched to pursue Cao Hong and Cao Zhang's army.

However, this time Ma Teng was fooled. Xi Zhicai's strategy can be said to be extremely clever, luring the enemy to go deep, and brought Ma Teng's army into the completely unfamiliar Shangjun area. The valleys scoured by the river are vertical and horizontal, which is not conducive to the deployment of cavalry.

When Ma Teng entered the Changyanling area, he completely entered the ambush circle of Cao Jun. Cao Zhang led the tigers and leopards to ride in front, Cao Hong was on the left, Yu Chigong was on the right, and there were archers on both sides. Surrounded by a long and narrow area.

When Ma Teng noticed it, the day lily was completely cold, and the crossbowmen on both sides fired all their arrows, shooting continuously towards the valley. During the battle, tens of thousands of cavalry died in the chaos. Even Ma Teng was wounded by three arrows. He managed to escape from the encirclement behind and rushed northwest.

Run, if you don't run, I'm afraid everyone will die here!
