Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 356 The end of the attack and pursuit battle of tigers and leopards
Lu Xun entered Xuchang City, led his soldiers to isolate the burning area, cleaned up the people inside, demolished nearby houses, created isolation belts, and then rescued property as much as possible.The fire ignited for three days, and Lu Meng and others brought the army to help fight the fire. After collecting millions of barrels of water, if the moat was not close, they might have to go outside the city to fetch water.

After entering Xuchang, Lu Meng asked Xue Rengui to chair a military meeting.

After Xue Rengui got the information from Lu Meng and Su Lie, he said to the generals who were full: "Your Majesty's plan is to start a war this year for five months and take the south of the river. Now we have completed most of the plan, and only The next one is Yanzhou. Xuchang has already gathered [-] troops. The number is too large. Next, we will divide our forces. I will lead the main force to directly attack Chenliu County. contact."

"I will go to Wei's to directly attack Chenliu, with Wei Yan as the vanguard, and now we have 5000 people to set off immediately."

"Promise!" Wei Yan immediately took the order, went to the big camp outside the city and mobilized [-] soldiers and horses, and marched towards Wei's.

"Ma Mengqi led 1 soldiers, marched through Fugou and Yuxian counties to attack Yongqiu, and surrounded Chenliu from the east. Lu Boyan led [-] soldiers to Kaifeng, and surrounded Chenliu from the west."

"Promise!" Ma Chao and Lu Xun quickly agreed.

"Ziming, when you go to Jiyin, take down the three counties of Jiwu, Xiangyi, and Kaocheng. This way we can travel less in the future."

"No!" Lu Meng nodded.

"Is it enough to give you [-] troops?" Xue Rengui asked.

Lu Meng and Su Lie looked at each other, nodded and said, "More than enough."

After talking about the attack strategy to the west, the meeting dispersed.Everyone began to prepare, and Xue Rengui led the remaining more than 3 troops to Weishi.

Three days later, Xue Rengui arrived outside Chenliu City and joined Wei Yan.He began to ask Cao Ren to fight, but Cao Ren avoided it.

Cao Ren had no choice but to avoid the battle. When he withdrew to Chenliu, although Lu Xun did not pursue him, Su Lie, Ma Chao, Wang Yanzhang and others did. He managed to gather nearly [-] soldiers.Because of the retreat, morale is almost gone, and it hasn't recovered yet!Xue Rengui came to challenge at this time, how could he agree?

In the next few days, Lu Xun arrived in Kaifeng, Ma Chao arrived in Yongqiu, and surrounded Chen Liu.

Cao Ren also began to discuss with his brothers and nephews, "Now that the enemy is attacking from three sides, our army's morale has not recovered, and we cannot resist at all. I intend to retreat, but I am afraid that if I withdraw, I will be defeated."

Cao Chun said: "Brother's worry is indeed justified. Why don't you lead the people to retreat first, and I will stay behind, and with the elite tiger and leopard cavalry, I will be able to stop the enemy's pursuit."

Cao Ren nodded and said: "The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are indeed elite, but Ma Chao is in Yongqiu."

Cao Chun knew what Cao Ren meant. Cao Ren was worried that Ma Chao might have a way to harm the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.When the tiger and leopard cavalry killed Master Shang and his disciples, they had already lost once, and many veteran cavalry died in that battle.After the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was rebuilt, its strength declined.There were some injuries in Xuchang, and now there are only more than 3000 left. If there are more losses, it may really be disbanded.

Cao Chun said: "I know what my brother is worried about. It's just that if we lose Yanzhou again, we probably won't have the financial resources to raise tigers and leopards."

Cao Ren was silent. Cao Chun's words were indeed very reasonable. Tiger and Leopard Cavalry needed too much financial resources.If there were only three states left, there would be [-] troops to support, and there would be no financial resources to support tigers and leopards.There are not so many tombs in Hebei that can be robbed, and it is probably too late to rob the tomb.As long as Yanzhou is lost, Hebei has no natural danger at all, and it is completely impossible to defend.

Cao Ren withdrew from Chenliu to Xiaohuang with anxiety, and Cao Chun fell behind.

Xue Rengui led his troops to pursue immediately, but the tiger and leopard cavalry were indeed elite, and they blocked Xue Rengui abruptly.All the way from Chenliu to Xiaohuang, Xue Rengui didn't break through the obstruction of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Ma Chao rushed over from Yongqiu and went directly to the north of Xiaohuang, blocking Cao Ren's way of retreating.Cao Ren had no choice but to retreat westward to Junyi.As soon as he arrived in Junyi, he met Lu Xun who came from Kaifeng. Cao Ren could only go north to Fengqiu non-stop.Ma Chao came after him again, and Cao Ren crossed the river and withdrew to Suanzao.Only at this time did he completely escape the pursuit, and then withdrew to Yan County, took the white horse, and retreated to Puyang.

Cao Chun blocked Ma Chao in Xiaohuang's camp for a while, but because of too few troops, he let Ma Chao escape and continued to pursue Cao Ren.After dozens of battles, only the last 1000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were left, but Cao Chun had no idea of ​​taking a break and continued to rush to Fengqiu to continue to stop Ma Chao.If Ma Chao's cavalry were not stopped, Cao Ren would not be able to retreat.

In the end, Cao Chun was surrounded by Ma Chao and Xue Rengui who came after him in Fengqiu. Xue Rengui and Ma Chao each led their cavalry to attack the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. This was the easiest time to eliminate the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Of course, Xue Rengui would not let Cao Chun go. .

Cao Chun was besieged by the large army and fought until the last moment. The whole army was gone, and no one surrendered.

After finishing the tiger and leopard cavalry, Xue Rengui and Ma Chao looked at the corpses all over the ground, and couldn't help but sighed, "If these brave men can be used by His Majesty, it will definitely make the foreigners terrified."

Ma Chao also said: "These people can definitely sweep Liangzhou."

Xue Rengui sighed and said, "Unfortunately, we can only fight to the death."

After Cao Ren withdrew from Chenliu County, Xue Rengui divided his troops and began to attack other counties, letting Ma Chao attack Waihuang and Jiyang eastward.Let Wei Yan attack Pingqiu and Changyuan to the northeast, and finally go north with Ma Chao to Lihu to threaten Puyang from the south.He himself went north to Suanzao, attacked Yan County, and then went east to Baima.

Lu Meng and Su Lie left Jiwu, Xiangyi, and Kaocheng and entered Jiyin County.The two divided their troops, one to the north and the other to the east.Lu Meng went north to Yuanju, Dingtao, Chengshi, Chengyang, Juyang, Juancheng, Linqiu, and finally stationed in Juancheng.Su Lie attacked Jishi, Shanfu, and Chengwu to the east, and finally stationed troops in Chengwu to intimidate Changyi, the governor of Shanyang County.

Zhang Yi received the news in Pengcheng, and immediately summoned two more people.One is Liu Zhenghui and the other is Zhai Changsun.

"Liu Zhenghui, force: 62, strategy: 52, strategy: 78, internal affairs: 88, education: 80, diplomacy: 84. Traits: ruler."

"Eldest Sun Zhai, force: 90, strategy: 88, strategy: 72, internal affairs: 63, education: 71, diplomacy: 59. Trait: Xuanjia."

Both Liu Zhenghui and Zhai Changsun were figures in the early Tang Dynasty, Liu Zhenghui was from Lingyan Pavilion, and Zhai Changsun was a general of Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army.
