Chapter 112 Avoiding the truth is false

"Tian Yu, son of a bitch!"

A swear word popped out of Cao Hong's mouth, but it could not save the current passive situation. After being stabbed in the back by Tian Yu, Cao Hong's situation suddenly became more passive. Originally, it was just at a downwind, but now even with the support of Cao Zhang, the more than 60,000 Cao army's soldiers with poor combat effectiveness can hardly be supported by the wall.

In fact, it's not that these Cao soldiers lack training. In fact, they were all recruited after Liu Bei escaped from the second Northern Expedition last time, and they have been trained for more than two years. Generally, soldiers can fight after half a year of training. After two years of training, they are already quite powerful in terms of combat effectiveness. It's just the experience on the battlefield, which can't be brought by any training.

It's like Zhao Feng's first Northern Expedition to guard the street pavilion. With more than 20,000 steps, he was almost defeated by Xia Houyuan with considerable force. But later, the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan army was significantly improved. In a word, the army is fought.

Unfortunately, these soldiers under Cao Hong's command do not have much actual combat experience. In order to increase their actual combat experience, Cao Wei sent them to attack Sanhan and other places at the beginning, but it was only a small deal to fight against the rummish people of Sanhan. Now when I meet a really strong opponent, I can't stand it.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Cao Zhang's face was ferocious. In the face of Zhang Ren's attack, he almost took out all his strength. The wound on the lower abdomen has been simply bandaged, but under the fierce battle, there is still bleeding, and the previous dressing is almost useless. At the same time, Cao Hong obviously couldn't stand it. At present, Cao Zhang made a decision and led all the tigers and leopards back to Cao Hong to carry out the final resistance. But even so, Cao Hong's fragile rear army has shown signs of collapse under the eclipse of Tian Yu.

"Zhao Botao, go to hell!" Cao Hong roared and split the big knife in his hand at Zhao Feng on the opposite side with all his strength. Zhao Feng gritted his teeth and raised the long gun in his hand with one hand, blocking the move on the left, but then grabbed the other party's knife with his left hand.

"What is this?" Cao Hong was surprised by the significance of his opponent's doing this, but he saw that Zhao Feng had thrown down his long gun, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and cut down Cao Hong's knife pole. With a soft sound, Cao Hong's big knife was suddenly cut into two pieces.

"Green Sword!" Cao Hong couldn't help but blurt out. This sword is so familiar that it is the blue sword worn by his nephew Xia Hou En. In fact, it has been several years since Zhao Feng got this sword from Xia Hou'en. But the long sword is not a blade suitable for immediate combat, and I haven't used it much over the years. It's just today's painstaking efforts**. I want to see if this sword is really so sharp. As a result, it was really cutting iron like mud. Cao Hong fought with only one move, and his weapon had been destroyed. He knew that there was no good result if he continued to fight. At present, he threw half of the knife pole in his hand and blocked it. He pulled out his waist knife and walked while directing the army to retreat.

"Do you want to go?" Zhao Feng was about to chase, but he saw a familiar figure coming from the east. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Isn't this Meng Zidu, brother Zidu? You're not in Wancheng as your governor. Why did you come here?" Seeing that Cao Hong was surrounded by a group of people and it was difficult to get close to him, Zhao Fengsuo's surname was killed by Meng Da. But I can make it clear that even if you want to surrender again today, I won't take you in again!"

"Zhao Feng?" Meng Da saw Zhao Feng, who was joking, killing himself, and his teeth were also a little fight. But then he noticed that Zhao Feng did not hold a long gun in his hand, but just a long sword. He gritted his teeth and came to fight.

"Oh, you have a lot of courage!" Zhao Feng was stunned. " The general takes the gun!" At this moment, Niu Jin hacked an enemy pedoper to death and took his long gun and threw it to Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng took it. This kind of ordinary wooden-handled long gun has not been used for many years since he became a general. Although it is a little lighter than his own iron gun, it is still okay to use it. But Zhao Feng knew Meng Da's details, and now he played with him.

With a quick shot, he pushed away Meng Da's head-on knife, and Zhao Feng then shot Meng Da head-on. Unexpectedly, Meng Da was really afraid of Zhao Feng. Seeing this situation, he actually left a big knife and directly grabbed the barrel of the gun with both hands. Zhao Feng was slightly stunned, but he was not slow at all. He punched himself on the pole of the gun.

"Kick" broke the barrel of the gun, and then in Meng Da's surprised eyes, Zhao Feng grabbed the back half of the wooden stick and poked him directly in the neck. The barrel of the gun full of spikes plunged into the throat, but it pressed Meng Da's scream back into his stomach before it was released.

"Who said that you can't stab people without a gun?" Looking at Meng Da, Zhao Feng curled his lips and then took a long gun from a pawn of the other party to continue the battle. At this time, Cao's army had begun to retreat one after another under the leadership of Cao Hong. But how could Zhao Feng agree to let them retreat so calmly? Seeing that the other party wanted to run away, he quickly began to do the same thing, sending cavalry to attack and harass the retreating enemy, slowing the other party's withdrawal speed as much as possible, and killing the other party's living forces. Of course, Cao Jun is not without experience in dealing with this kind of thing. As long as the two wings are protected by cavalry, even if the enemy can bite his own tail, the loss is extremely limited. However, Cao Hong ordered a series of orders, but did not lead Shao to come to help the battle.

"What is the leading scriptures? Why didn't the Huqi camp come to cover the retreat of the army?" Cao Hong shouted in a rage. Next to him, Cao Zhang, who had just escaped from death, had sharp eyes. From a distance, he found that the Huqi camp had dispersed. Everyone fled in all directions, and few people came at all.

"Uncle, Hu Qi's camp is scattered!" Cao Zhang was a little unbelievable, but he didn't expect that Hu Qi's camp would collapse like this. If there is no cover of the elite soldiers who are good at riding and shooting, and relying on their own little tiger and leopard riding alone, it is definitely not enough to cover their army to retreat calmly. What he didn't know was that these barbw people had no sense of identity with them in the first place. In addition, their opponents were so fierce and fearless, and their own people were not powerful. Now that something was wrong, the surname was scattered. It was implicated and stopped, but it didn't work.

"Let's die!" Just as he was holding Shao's hand and commanding in a hurry, a thunderous roar sounded from behind. Qian Shao turned around in astonishment, but he saw that it was Zhang Fei who was coming to him aggressively. Even if someone wanted to stop him along the way, he was stabbed or cut by Zhang Fei's eight-foot snake spear, and Zhang Fei's pace was not slowed down at all.

"Damn it!" Qian Shao knew that he was not Zhang Fei's opponent. At this time, he could only brace himself and stab him with a long gun in his hand, but he was stabbed face to face by Zhang Fei.

But he heard the endless sound of "burling". The iron gun in Shao's hand had a close contact with Zhang Fei's spear face to face. Unexpectedly, he was broken from the middle by Zhang Fei, and then poked into Qian Shao's chest. Looking at the slowly falling Qian Shao in front of him, Zhang Fei snorted coldly, and then ordered all the cavalry to catch up with the pursuit.

Zhang Fei's joining made Cao Hong feel the already heavy pressure, which more than doubled in an instant. The speed of the army moving forward can be described as the speed of the turtle. Almost every step, someone will be killed or surrendered to the opponent.

"Damn it, in this way, when can I withdraw to the upper party!" Cao Hong couldn't help scolding angrily. It has been an hour since the withdrawal, but the army has left less than ten miles. Even Cao Hong had to admit that the attack tactics of Zhang Fei and others were extremely effective. This kind of trapped wolf tactic invented by the grassland nation is to completely drag the other party to death, and finally annihronize the other party in one fell swoop.

"It can't go on like this, uncle. It's up to me to lead the palace. Uncle, you can withdraw to the upper party first!" Cao Tai, who fought with the army, gritted his teeth.

"How can this work?" Cao Hong couldn't help but object. At this moment, Cao Zhang suggested, "Uncle, you see that there is a earthy mountain over there. Why don't we wait for the time being, and then take advantage of the night to suddenly withdraw the army at night to be surprised?"

"It's good!" Cao Hong couldn't make up his mind for a while, and Suo agreed with Cao Zhang's suggestion. So under the command of Cao Hong and others, the army went to this small earth mountain one after another, and then sent crossbows to defend the four directions and dig trenches to prevent the enemy from attacking the mountain. Zhang Fei and others chased to the bottom of the mountain. Seeing that the mountain was quite steep, it was not easy to attack the mountain for a while, so they camped for the time being and prepared to besiege. Of course, it was not blindly besieged. Zhang Fei, Zhao Feng and others also gathered to discuss what to do next.

"How about justice?" Seeing that Zhang Ren, who had just returned from the count, Zhao Feng also asked. Zhang Ren nodded and then said, "Our army suffered more than 14,000 casualties, including more than 3,000 cavalry; more than 24,000 enemy troops were killed, of which nearly 4,000 were tigers and leopards, and about 8,000 others were captured or surrendered, and the Hu cavalry camp dispersed. It is conservatively estimated that the combined strength of Cao Hong and Cao Zhang on the mountain is still about 60,000.

"With the people of the country, we still have no less than 90,000 elite soldiers, and Cao Hong will undoubtedly be defeated!" Zhang Fei also nodded. Zhao Feng thought for a few words and asked Zhang Ren, "How much rations does Cao Jun carry?"

"According to the prisoners who interrogated Cao Jun, Cao Jun only came lightly this time, and the individual soldiers only brought three days of rations!" Zhang Ren nodded. Zhao Feng immediately understood when he heard the words, and then said, "Cao Jun's rations are not enough, and he must break through as soon as possible. In this case, I have a plan now, and I may be able to calm down here as soon as possible!"

"Po Tao, do you want to take the opportunity to raid the party?" Zhang Fei thought for a time. He didn't want Zhao Feng to shake his head, but said with a smile, "It's not Shangdang, but Huguan!"

"Pot-off?" Zhang Fei was stunned when he heard the words. Zhao Feng nodded and then explained, "Huguan is the key road connecting Jizhou and Bingzhou. Previously, Cao Hong sat in the party and took care of Huguan. Now Cao Hong is trapped here. If we send a strange soldier and put on the armor of Cao's army, we may avoid the truth and take down the pot in one fell swoop. In this way, the reinforcements of Jizhou can be blocked, and after solving Cao Hong, they can also intervene in the Jizhou war situation early and directly hit the capital of Cao Wei!"

"It makes sense!" Zhang Fei also nodded repeatedly when he heard the words. Huguan was not far from Shangdang. In the past, because Cao Hong's army was here, he could not attack Huguan. Now Cao Hong is trapped here by himself. Even if the upper party still has a certain left-behind troops and horses, the guard of Huguan should be relatively empty. Thinking of this, Zhang Fei also immediately made a plan and asked Zhang Ren to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to change into Cao Jun's armor to defraud the pot. He and Zhao Feng stayed here to prevent the enemy from retreating in the middle of the night.

Just as Zhao Feng and Zhang Fei were about to stop, a huge fleet of dozens of large ships quietly came to a beach on the coast of Bohai in the middle of the night.
