Chapter 160 Zhang Xiu came out of the city to chase Cao Jun

The grass is green and the sun is shining. Guo Jia looked up at the blue sky and the white clouds. Although the situation of the enemy has changed, and it is still not conducive to Cao's army, Guo Jia's mood is still as broad as the blue sky and as soothing and elegant as the white clouds.

"Cao Gong, it seems that Wancheng Zhangxiu and Pengcheng Lv Bu have really been secretly allianced!" Guo Jia put away her eyes and whispered to Cao Cao.

"Feng Xiao, shall we return in time or rest in place?" Cao Cao showed a little disappointment between his eyebrows. He knew that even if Zhang Xiu occupied Yucheng and blocked Cao's army with the help of the city, Cao Cao was still confident to defeat the defenders and occupy Yucheng. After all, Cao Cao had a fierce and domineering invincible Thunderbolt car. However, this result can only happen when Zhang Xiu fought against Cao Jun alone. In the current situation, Cao Cao's side has to face the attack between Zhang Xiu in Wancheng and Lv Bu in Pengcheng.

In the face of these two fierce wolves, Cao Cao's side is not sure of winning: Cao Cao's side has an advantage, with a total of nearly 50,000 soldiers; but in terms of the number and strength of super generals, it is obviously slightly insufficient: Cao Cao's super generals command Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Da Xiahou, Cao Ren, these four super generals are estimated to be It is not the opponent of Wenhou Lv Bu; if Dianwei Xu Chu and other four super fierce generals join hands to deal with Wenhou Lv Bu, then who will resist Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two super fierce generals under the command of Lv Bu's ally, Liu Bei? At this time, Cao Cao did not know that Zhang Xiu was also a super general.

Guo Jia thought for a while and said slowly to Cao Cao, "Mr. Cao, let the army rest in place!" In the middle of the night, we retreated quickly... Cao Gong, we should deploy carefully when we retreat. If Zhang Xiu inquires about the information about our withdrawal, Zhang Xiu will definitely rely on the advantage of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to charge and chase us..."

"Well, it's reasonable to say filial piety!" Cao Cao replied in a low voice. Then, he ordered the messengers to take a temporary rest, and the order to retreat in the middle of the night was conveyed to the generals of the leaders.

Xiahou Chun, Cao Hong and other generals were puzzled when they received this urgent order, and they all looked surprised. They came to Cao Cao at the same time and asked about the reason for the retreat.

Cao Cao looked at his confidant generals and explained to them with a relaxed expression, "Guys, the war situation has changed, and our actions will also change accordingly... According to reliable information, Zhang Xiu of Wancheng and Lv Bu of Pengcheng have joined hands to deal with us. It is estimated that at this time, our old nest, Ganzhou City is being attacked by the coalition of Lv Bu and Liu Bei! ".

When Daxiahou, Cao Hong and other generals heard the news, their faces changed dramatically: they knew that the strength of Guzhou City was weak at this time. If Lv Bu and Liu Bei joined hands to attack Guzhou City, how many days could the soldiers defending the city last?

"Fuck you, this Lv Bu is really a white-eyed wolf who can't feed..." Daxia Hou scolded anly annoy. With his vision and wisdom, he couldn't imagine that it was not Lv Bu and Liu Bei who really dealt with Cao Cao, but Yuan Shu from Huainan!

"Ha ha, everyone, soldiers come to block, and the water comes to cover the earth. Don't panic and mess up!" Cao Cao smiled and said, "We still follow the previous deployment: after Daxiahou followed Ben Mu and led 10,000 Qingzhou iron gunmen, the other generals and soldiers had to return to Gunzhou City at the fastest marching speed..."

"Ye!" The generals agreed in unison. In the face of the crisis, they are full of fighting spirit and infinite expansion! Cao Cao nodded to them with satisfaction. After Hu Wei finished building a simple tent, Cao Cao and Guo Jia went into the tent and continued to plan to deal with the crisis. Those talented geisha serve them carefully.

Early the next morning, the poisoner Jia Xu was still in the quilt and received information from the front line: Cao Jun, who was stationed a hundred miles away from Yucheng, suddenly returned the same way. This information surprised the drug addict Jia Xu: Why did Cao's army suddenly retreat? Did Cao Cao know that Lv Bu and Liu Bei joined hands to attack the empty Gongzhou City? Today is the day when Lv Bu and Liu Bei join hands to attack the city of Gongzhou. But the siege has not yet happened. How did Cao Cao, who was on the front line, know? Could it be that Cao Cao has the special function of an uncertain prophet? ......

Could it be that Guo Jia, known as the "reincarnation of Taigong", judged the fact that Lv Liu's allied forces attacked Guzhou City based on the clues of the current situation? This Guo Fengxiao is too divine, isn't it? Jia Xu secretly admired Guo Jia, whom he had never met. Only such inference can explain why Cao's army suddenly withdrew!

After Jia Xu finished washing up, Zhang Xiu hurried to his room. He held the junior salute and asked Jia Xu, "Uncle Jia, Cao's army suddenly retreated from the garrison... Such a good opportunity, he thought that we could take advantage of the situation to pursue the retreating Cao army. Once we get something, it can greatly stimulate the morale of our soldiers!" There has been no war for a long time, especially after entering the innate realm, Zhang Xiu encountered The opportunity for soldiers to chase the enemy is like a wolf smelling blood, and the blood of the beast is boiling and excited.

In contrast to Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu is very calm. He pinched his beard, frowned slightly and said, "Xiu'er, by all! At this time, it is not a good opportunity for us to pursue Cao's army... If Xiuer wants to stimulate the morale of the soldiers through battle, we can't rush to send troops to chase the retreating Cao army. At this time, we can order the soldiers hiding in the secret place to temporarily follow the retreating Cao army...",

When Zhang Xiu heard the words, his eyes suddenly burst into light. He interrupted Jia Xu's words impatiently and said harshly, "Uncle Jia, I'm not going to refute you in person. You are too careful! If you are too careful, you will miss a good opportunity to attack the enemy... Art of War: Don't chase the poor. But now the situation of Cao's army is not a defeat and escape, but a hasty retreat! After retreating in a hurry, Cao's soldiers are inevitably impetuous, which is a good time for our iron cavalry to pursue! In the pursuit in the wilderness, Cao's Qingzhou iron gunmen will never be the opponent of the iron cavalry who are good at charging. Even in theory, gunmen restrain the cavalry! Uncle Jia, Xiu'er's heart has been decided! If something happens, I will be willing to bear it alone!"

Jia Xu looked at Zhang Xiu like a ** bull and shook his head helplessly. He thought to himself: Boy, look at the situation and don't let you suffer a little setbacks. You really don't know how thick the sky is. Your idea can only be aimed at ordinary enemies, and Cao Cao is definitely not an ordinary enemy... "Oh..." Jia Xu looked up to the sky and sighed, no longer paying attention to Zhang Xiu, who was in a state of excitement.

Zhang Xiu bowed to Jia Xu, then dodged out of the room and went straight to the east gate of Yucheng. After a column of incense, Zhang Xiu led 4,000 iron cavalry to rush out of the gate and rushed in the direction of Cao's retreat.

After Zhang Xiu led the army for a day, he met with the hidden other 5,000 iron cavalry. According to the report of the scouts in front of him, Zhang Xiu found clues of the army stationing in an empty place surrounded by mountains and rivers: scattered pots and pans, and there were still traces of rice. Near more than a dozen fire pits, there were empty grain bags everywhere, and the futons kneeling high-ranking generals were also scattered everywhere... This situation made Zhang Xiuguan big. Xi: These circumstances show that Cao's army must have retreated in a hurry. In this way, Cao's army must be unstable and his morale is low. He was eager to attack the enemy. Unexpectedly, he didn't even see the enemy's hair, so he retreated again. Who can stand such a thing? It's like when a man and a woman are in love, their lives and roots reach Taoyuan Cave, and they are forcibly pulled away... It is estimated that God would be resentful if he did this at that time. In this way, my heart is not smooth and there are pimples. Can morale and military heart not be depressed?

Zhang Xiu resisted the surprise in his heart, turned around and ordered his subordinates, "Zhong Erlang obeyed the order: the art of war cloud: the soldier is fast, surprise! In order to give Cao's army a thunderbolt, he decided to continue to march at full speed, wait for us to catch up with the fleeing Cao army, defeat them, and then rest in place!"

"Yeer!" Thousands of soldiers answered in unison. Even if they deliberately lowered their voices, the momentum was like thunder falling from the sky.

In the rumble of horses' hoofs, an elderly general whispered to Zhang Xiu, "General, I've heard that Cao is treacherous and cunning. We should be careful to guard against it!" The situation we saw may also be the suspicious plan of the Cao thief..."

"Is there any water in your head? At this time, according to the previous agreement, Lv Bu and Liu Bei have joined hands to attack the city of Gongzhou. In this way, the old nest of the Cao thief is facing the disaster of extinction. At this time, the thief must be a frightened six gods. Does he still have time to plan for us? According to the general's inference: Cao thieves can't wait to fly back to Guzhou City with his wings to resist the siege of Lv Bu and Liu Bei..." Zhang Xiu interrupted the elderly general and scolded, "As long as we chase Cao's army, who retreated in a hurry, and chases all the way to Guzhou City, by that time, we can cooperate with Lv Bu and Liu Bei from the east and west. The siege..."

The elder will hear Zhang Xiu's scolding and his face will change. He experienced Zhang Xiu's beautiful imagination, so he stopped talking and just hurried on the road. If any outsiders see the marching of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, they have to praise: the Xiliang Iron Cavalry really has a set. No wonder the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is like a jackal, which can not eat, drink or rest, and march day and night. It turns out that Xiliang cavalry can eat and rest on the saddle, which is to defecate, and they can also rely on superb riding skills to solve problems on horseback. The horses can rest standing, and these soldiers can also take a nap on the horse's back.

Of course, the secret of ensuring the speed of the world's first march is not only human factors, but also closely related to the carefully selected specially trained Xiliang war horses. Xiliang Iron Cavalry: The soldiers have the essence of patience and cruelness like jackals, and their mounts also have good endurance and excellent speed. In this way, it is not a problem for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to travel for three or five days in a row. From this, it can be seen that the Xiliang Legion became the first army in the world at that time, which was not a false reputation, but supported by real materials.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Xiu led 7,000 iron cavalry to rush through an empty valley. The valley here, calculated according to the rugged and winding official road, is 700 miles away from Wancheng and 1,000 miles away from Kunzhou City. In the cold night sky, the jade-like moon appears from time to time in the thin clouds; like a thunderous valley, half-human-high deciduous shrubs spread from the bottom of the valley to the two sides of the mountain, shadowy.

Suddenly, with the super keen feeling of the general, Zhang Xiu clearly felt a chill quickly spread all over his body from his heart. He slightly raised the reins to slow down the speed of the war horse's galloping and vigilantly visited the dark mountains on both sides. After some exploration, Zhang Xiu knew that he had led the army into the "dead ground" mentioned in the military march - the coffin terrain. He has led his army to this place several times before.

The so-called coffin terrain is that the two sides of the valley official road are the steep mountains. During the walk, you can only enter and exit from the two ends of the valley official road. Such a natural place is an excellent terrain for ambush. In this way, for the army during the march, it is the "dead ground" of the military method.
