Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Half a day later, the vanguard led by Sun Jian was several miles away from Cao Cao, but this was not Sun Jian's original intention, but now that the whole army was in a hurry, it was hard for him to suppress it.

Because along the way, they not only saw some traces left by Guo Bang when he retreated, but also saw a lot of scattered property.

There is nothing valuable, but there is a hanging coin, a copper pot, or something else at a distance, which can be seen at a glance, and can be grabbed and hidden in his arms with one hand. Accidentally left behind.

Originally, Sun Jian wanted to order to prevent the soldiers from delaying the march for picking up things, but he found that there were not many of these things. In the end, not only did he not delay, but he hung the soldiers like carrots and ran fast one by one. I'm too lazy to take care of it.

Seeing dusk, the sky would be completely dark in about half an hour. Sun Jian saw that although the morale of the soldiers rushing all the way was good, their physical strength was exhausted, so he ordered to camp in an open place along the river ahead.

However, Sun Jianjun had just stopped for a moment, when a group of soldiers were lying on the ground panting like dead dogs, and the corn that had just been cooked had not had time to heat up, but the sound of rumbling war drums suddenly sounded from all around the camp, as if someone Thousands of troops and horses generally came to kill him.

Sun Jian had fought battles for a long time, and he would not be afraid even if he was actually ambushed in normal times, but at this moment, he just felt dizzy and almost fainted!

"Enemy attack! Formation!"

After the military order was issued, Sun Jian looked back anxiously: Cao Mengde, is it too late?

Chapter 94 Cao Cao Died Under This Tree

Sun Jian is known as the Tiger of Jiangdong. Not only is he powerful, but the soldiers under his command are also the best in the world. Although these soldiers are very tired at the moment, and their calves are a little cramped after marching for several hours, they quickly grabbed their weapons and occupied the center of the road. , arrayed to guard against raids.

However, although the drums were ringing all around, Sun Jian's army was fully on guard, but the enemy army who attacked was late, and it took more than a quarter of an hour before Sun Jian saw his original way, slowly A group of about [-] troops appeared, and behind the leading general was a large flag with the word "Zhang" fluttering. It must be Zhang Xiu.

In the forest behind Sun Jian, another group of troops appeared at a slower speed, with the banner of "Guo", and there seemed to be more soldiers and horses than those in front.

"Guo Si, Zhang Xiu, it's a good plan!"

Sun Jian's face was grim. There were five or six thousand soldiers before and after, and he had only two thousand under his command. Although they were all elite soldiers, after half a day of rapid marching, the soldiers were already very tired, and less than half of their combat power was left. The opponent chose this time to attack. , obviously calculated carefully, and most likely wanted to keep Sun Jian here!

What annoyed Sun Jian even more was that if he ordered to retreat as soon as the drums sounded, although he would inevitably be chased and killed, although he would inevitably suffer heavy losses, with the follow-up Cao Cao's support, he would eventually be able to escape part of the way. Confused by the sound, he chose to form a defensive formation at the first time, but it gave Guo Bang the opportunity to form an formation and completely blocked his retreat!

Now, if you are not careful, the whole army will be wiped out!

Sun Jian's hand holding the weapon was gradually sweating, and he looked behind Guo Si, hoping to see Cao Cao's figure, but

At this moment, Cao Cao, whom Sun Jian placed his hopes on, also heard the faint sound of war drums ahead. He didn't know that Sun Jian was ambushed and was about to go forward to meet him immediately, but the scouts suddenly came to report that a bullet was lying in the middle of the road. A big willow tree blocked the way, and there were words written on the trunk. As for what was written on it, the scouts hesitated to say.

Cao Cao glanced at the scouts displeased, and rode forward himself. Sure enough, he saw a big willow tree blocking the road. It was written in big bloody characters "Cao Si is under this tree"!

Cao Cao has read books, so he naturally knew that Pang Juan, the famous general of the Warring States Period, saw "died under this tree" first, and then he was stabbed by random arrows!

The current situation made Cao Cao involuntarily substitute himself into the role of Pang Juan, his scalp became numb, he subconsciously squatted on the ground, and at the same time shouted: "Beware of cold arrows!"

The guard on the left rear reacted quickly, and immediately raised his shield to cover Cao Cao. However, the surrounding area was very quiet, and no cold arrows were fired. Cao Cao looked out through the gap in the shield, and there was indeed no place to ambush the archers nearby. He couldn't help but feel ashamed. , pushed away the guards, glanced at the big tree again, laughed loudly and said: "Guo Bang thinks that he can scare off this general by learning from the sages, and send orders to the whole army!"

Before a military order was finished, there was a fierce scream of fighting from the rear of the army. Cao Cao was startled, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

However, without waiting for the scouts to report, Cao Cao saw hundreds of banners slowly appearing on both sides of the road they had just marched.

With so many flags, there might be 6000 or [-] troops?

Although Cao Cao fell down suddenly, his mind was not disturbed, and he quickly weighed the situation.

The opponent didn't attack his front or middle army, but directly intercepted and killed the rear army. Obviously he was not worried about his own round with Sun Jian, or in other words, the opponent planned to drive himself and Sun Jian together and eat them together!

He wanted to surround Sun Jian with less than three or four thousand words, and he had five or six thousand in front of him. The enemy's reinforcements must have arrived. The words of the old soldiers in the previous camp were just to deceive them into underestimating the enemy!

Of course, Cao Cao also thought that the opponent might be using various methods of suspicion, but he didn't dare to gamble. In this case, if he loses the bet, he, Cao Mengde, will probably explain it here!

"Meng De, what should we do now?"

Hearing Xiahou Dun's anxious urging, Cao Cao apologized secretly, and then decisively shouted: "Retreat, break out!"

On a mound not far away, Li Yizheng and Xu Rong in black robes stood side by side. Seeing that Cao Cao started leading his army to charge back, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

If Cao Cao chooses to assist Sun Jian at this time, of course they can win, and even have Cao Cao and Sun Jian here, but they will definitely have to pay a considerable price, and such an ending is not in line with Li Yi's goal.

"Taibai's ingenious calculation, Xu admires it!"

Xu Rong sighed with emotion, his words were very sincere, without the slightest hint of hypocrisy.

Li Yi hurriedly said politely: "Where, I just took it by surprise, and I did my calculations without intention. It is General Xu's elite soldiers who can really make a difference."

Although Li Yi was humble, his words were not flattery.

Naturally, Zhang Xiu did not have any reinforcements. In order to besiege Sun Jian, Xu Rong handed over most of his troops to Guo Bang. Now there are only about 500 people around the two of them, and they have no personal guards, and there are old suspicious formations. There are only a little over [-] people who can really participate in blocking Cao Cao.

If it weren't for elite soldiers, it would be absolutely difficult for such an important task.

Li Yi saw with his own eyes that Cao Cao's soldiers rushed three times in front of the 500-man army. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but the 500-man front never retreated even half a step.

Li Yi has the brains and insight of a traverser, he can come up with many tricks and tricks, and he thinks he should be no less than a second-rate counselor, but if he is asked to train and lead troops to be tough, he is probably not as good as a third-rate general.

But Xu Rong looked at the fighting situation below, but his face was not the slightest bit happy, and said: "In another quarter of an hour, it will be impossible to stop."

Li Yiwenyan cast his gaze, and saw that Cao Cao's soldiers and horses began to detour to the mountains and forests on both sides after being frustrated in the frontal attack one after another. After all, Xu Rong had too few soldiers and horses, and it was not easy to block the front. Gradually, Cao Cao The men and horses rushed past from both sides.

If Cao Cao could order those soldiers who had already rushed out of the siege to kill a horse qg at this moment, Xu Rong's more than 500 soldiers and horses would be defeated immediately. Fortunately, that situation did not happen in the end.

Perhaps, Cao Cao thought of this, but since the retreat began, all the soldiers under his command became desperate ghosts for fear of running a step slower than others. The defeat was like a mountain, even Cao Cao could only do nothing.

Seeing that Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were completely disintegrated, Xu Rong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Unfortunately, if you give me another thousand soldiers and horses, I can definitely delay the battle ahead to the end!"

Li Yi smiled slightly. For Cao Cao today, it is okay to hit him, but killing him is not worth it.

Li Yiying said: "I have had a lot of contact with the Taishi's Feixiong Army these days, and I only know that the Feixiong Army is already the champion of the world. Now that I have seen General Xu's soldiers and horses, I know that Li is the hero of the community. !"

"Where, where!"

Xu Rong waved his hands with a smile, but actually he was very happy in his heart.

Li Yi saw that there was only the end of the battle here, and the sound of the war drums in the direction of Guo Si in the distance gradually subsided, so he cupped his hands and said: "Cao Cao has already retreated, so I will take my leave. The first tiger remains."

Chapter 95 I'm Sorry

Although Xu Rong felt that the battlefield was very dangerous and solemnly expressed that he would dispatch a team of elites to escort Li Yi and Guo Bang to join him, Li Yi still declined Xu Rong's kindness.

In fact, Li Yi himself was a little worried. It was okay to meet single defeated soldiers on the road. If he ran into a hundred or eighty in one breath, he would probably kneel down.

However, Li Yi weighed Guo Bang's absolute superiority against Sun Jian's forces. The possibility of Sun Jian's brigade successfully breaking through was too small, so he finally chose to leave with only a few of his own guards.

Moreover, Li Yi's trip had some ulterior motives, not to mention Xu Rong's people, even his own guard Li Yi felt a little intrusive.

Considering safety issues, Li Yi did not choose to follow the open road, but walked through the mountains and forests.

Looking at the direction of the battle between Guo Si and Sun Jian from time to time, Li Yi felt a little uneasy, because although he arranged the whole battle situation, Li Yi himself didn't think about what kind of result he should end up with in the end.
