Chapter 78
East County.
Taishou House.
Cao Cao frowned and looked at the map.
When he learned that Han Yi sent someone to forcibly break into Chen Liu, trying to go to Chang'an.
He was deeply aware that Han Yi would never be subservient to others, this was an ambitious person.
Other words.
There will be a fierce battle between the two.
Since this is the ending, why not prepare early!
"Lord!"
I don't know when, Xun Yu came to him and waved it: "There is news from Jizhou, Yuan Shao's letter has been sent to Chang'an, and if you want to come for three or five days at most, there will be a response." "
"What about Xiahoudun?"
Cao Cao raised his head and hurriedly asked.
"There is no news yet. "
Xun Yu shook his head and said softly: "But don't worry, the lord is assured, Yuan Rang's martial arts are exquisite, and there are two thousand elite horsemen under his command, even if he can't annihilate the opponent and drag him for a while, there will be no problem." "
Cao Cao sighed: "Wen Ruo, I don't know why, I'm always panicked in my heart, our understanding of Mount Tai is really too lacking, especially the understanding of its army, even more so!"
"yes!"
Xun Yu nodded: "Although the Yellow Turban War can provide some information, but in general, grain and grass occupy a large factor, as for the strength of the Taishan Army, it is not very obvious. "
"But don't worry, lord!"
Speaking of this, Xun Yu added: "When Yuan Rang comes back from Chenliu, we will have an objective understanding of the overall strength of the Taishan Army!"
"It's only a hundred. "
Cao Cao sighed disdainfully: "What objective understanding can you have?" Wen Ruo, the news that Yuan Rang has there can only be used as a reference, and you must not be convinced!"
"I understand it below. "
Xun Yu shook his head.
"Report~~~"
At this moment, a long report sounded outside the hall.
A soldier broke in from the outside, bowed and said, "Lord, General Xiahou is back." "
"Oh?" Cao Cao beckoned, "Quick, let him in!"
"No!" the soldier complied, bowing and leaving.
Not for a while.
Xiahoudun turned into the temple.
Without waiting for him to report, Cao Cao preemptively said, "Yuan Rang, how is the situation?"
Xiahoudun was full of shame and didn't say a word.
Xun Yu and Cao Cao glanced at each other, knowing that something was wrong.
Xun Yu said softly: "Yuan Rang, it's okay, just say whatever you want!"
Xiahoudun knelt on one knee and clasped his fists: "Lord, the last general failed to intercept and kill the thief, but ...... On the contrary, he was almost ...... by the other party Annihilated by the other side!"
"Huh?"
Cao Cao was stunned!
Xun Yu was even more stunned!
"Yuan Rang, you're not kidding, are you?"
Xun Yu stared at Xiahoudun incredulously: "You have two thousand elite horsemen in your hands, and the other party only has hundreds in your hands, is it possible, do they still have reinforcements?"
Reinforcements?
Xun Yu always felt that it was unlikely.
Because, if it's a mass march.
There was no reason why he should not receive information.
But......
It is true that he did not receive any information.
This proves that there should be no reinforcements on the Taishan side.
In other words, those 100 soldiers and horses are a lone army!
With 2,000 elites, face hundreds of lonely soldiers!
Is there any suspense in such a battle?
Xun Yu couldn't figure it out.
He's real, I can't figure it out.
"No reinforcements!"
Xiahou didn't hide it, and shook his head on the spot: "That guy only has a hundred elite horses, but this hundred elite horses almost annihilated our two thousand elites!"
"Huh?"
Cao Cao was stunned again: "How is this possible?"
At that moment, Xiahoudun told Cao Cao everything about what had happened: "My lord, that's the way it is, the crossbow machine in their hands can send out ten arrows in a row, and within thirty steps, the arrows will pierce through the armor." "
"A ten-shot crossbow?"
Cao Cao's eyes widened like bells.
He was proficient in the art of war, and he had been on the battlefield himself, so he knew that in that situation, if there was really such a mid-range burst divine soldier, it would indeed be very deadly.
The opponent crushed their formation in one fell swoop.
Rely on the repeating crossbow machine to deal tons of damage in an instant!
It's not just about the heavy casualties.
The point is!
The blow to the morale of Cao Jun is too serious.
Once there is no morale, then no matter how strong the army is, it is just a dog to be slaughtered.
Although the other party only has a hundred elite horses, in that case, it is indeed invincible!
But!
Immediately after, Cao Cao's suspicions rose again: "Yuan Rang, then how did you escape?"
Xiahoudun continued: "It was a fierce general under Zhang Miao, he faced the Taishan army alone, and within more than ten steps, the short halberd fired in succession, and the other party fell off the horse in response, which shocked them. "
"The last general originally wanted to return to the battle, but considering that it was difficult for him to turn the tide of the battle alone, once the last general was mixed in, the Taishan army would inevitably repeat the old tricks, so the gains outweighed the losses!"
"And because of it!"
Xiahoudun swallowed his saliva: "The last general led the troops back, and this battle lost more than 1,200 elite cavalry, thanks to the incompetence of the last general, and I hope that the lord will punish him!"
"That's it!"
Cao Cao waved his hand: "I'm very happy that you can come back safely! No matter what, but at least stop the opponent, and your task is completed." "
Xiahoudun was grateful: "Thank you lord, the grace of no punishment." "
Cao Cao let out a long sigh and glanced at Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, it seems that the Taishan Army is much more powerful than we imagined, a messenger who delivers a letter, with a hundred fine horses, can do it to such an extent, it is really incredible." "
"yes!"
Xun Yu also felt the same way: "Fortunately, we sent Yuan Rang, if it was someone else, maybe it would be ordered to kill it out of Yanzhou and enter Luoyang, once it arrived in Chang'an, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
"Ah~~"
"It's a pity that even Yuan Rang was defeated. "
Cao Cao couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Can be a second.
He suddenly realized something, and hurriedly turned his head to look: "Yuan Rang, you just said that there is a fierce general under Brother Meng Zhuo, and this person actually shocked Taishan Baiqi with his own strength?"
"That's right!"
"There is indeed this one!"
Xiahoudun nodded affirmatively: "His name is Dian Wei, Chen Liuji is just a pawn in Zhang Miao's army, I heard that he is not in agreement with his top boss Zhao Zheng, and the last general wanted to take the opportunity to win over this person, how can he ......?"
"Huh?"
Cao Cao was anxious: "Yuan Rang, what's the matter?
Xun Yu was also anxious: "Such a brave person, you must be under the command of the lord!"
"Lord, Wen Ruo!"
Xiahoudun clasped his fists and sighed with a long sigh: "It's not a secret, since the last general turned back to Chenliu, he hasn't seen Dian Wei again, I'm afraid that he will be killed by the Taishan army, so I sent people to look around, but today, I can't see anyone alive, I can't see a corpse when I die!"
"Huh?"
Cao Cao was stunned on the spot, his eyes full of horror: "How is this possible?"
Xiahoudun also dared to be helpless: "Lord, the last general is worried, will he switch to Mount Tai?"
Hiss~~~
When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but gasp.
Suddenly, the scalp was numb, and the back of the spine was cold.
It's as if something horrible has happened!
