Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 327

Chapter 328

Xia Houba still thought it was too far away from Tongguan, but the enemy directly killed him the next day!
"General, more than a hundred riders from five miles away are running fast." The waiter flew off his horse and hurried forward to report.

More than a hundred rides?What is this small team doing?Cao Chong was puzzled.

Cao Chong nodded to Zhao Yun, indicating that he would arrange the countermeasures.

"Xiahouba, take fifty cavalry to meet the enemy. Don't pester them at close range. Just hold them back for a while. I'll take three hundred infantry to follow you. After I'm done forming the formation, you should back off, young master. Lead a large group of people to wait here, we can't let the enemy know our reality." Zhao Yun quickly arranged countermeasures and led people out of the camp.

After more than an hour, Zhao Yun and Xiahouba came back.

"Young master, everyone knew we were coming. They were the vanguard just now, and the road explorers saw that we were not making trouble, so they retreated quickly, followed by a large group of people, about 3000 people. Judging from the banner, it should be horses." Zhao Yun came back. Then he looked unhappy.

"Aren't they afraid they won't be able to go back if they dare to rush into the back of Tongguan for fifty miles?" Cao Chong was very puzzled. Tongguan is still there. As long as Wei Xi sends a few casually, he can block his escape route. Head, besides, there are also garrisons on the other side of the river, and they can be blocked by crossing the river.

"It can only be said that they concluded that Wei Ji could not send any troops, and that Fengling Ferry was also occupied by them!" Zhao Yun said.

"Then prepare for defense. The place we chose is good. Here the Yellow River bends slightly to the north and is slightly concave to the west, which is beneficial for defense. And if they hold here, they will not be able to see the situation behind the Yellow River. Only in this way can Lu Xun They cover."

Cao Chong doesn't care if the opponent only has 3000 people. He has 2000 people here relying on the terrain, and he is not afraid of camp defense.

"Master, I don't believe they dare to fight with us here, unless Wei Xi loses Tongguan!"

Zhao Yun agreed with Cao Chong's statement and organized defense immediately. Fortunately, he didn't pull out the stronghold and set off today, otherwise wouldn't it be a disadvantage if he encountered an encounter halfway?

Ma Wan came to Cao Chong's camp with his troops, and was very depressed when he saw Cao Chong's camp waiting in full force.

After spending a lot of money, they managed to sneak attack Fengling Ferry and occupied the waterway of the Yellow River. They were about to transport troops to the back of Tongguan to attack back and forth, but the scouts reported that the other side had come for reinforcements.

Ma Wan rushed over immediately with his men, and first wiped out this wave of reinforcements. It's only been a few days, how many reinforcements can the enemy hastily send?Then there is tragedy.

"Get ready! Let go!" With an order, the arrows covered the enemy's formation like a dark cloud.

The Shence Army has never cherished feather arrows, they are equipped with too many.

Cao Chong doesn't have many other things, but he has a lot of money. Coupled with his status as the young son of the prime minister's mansion, he can buy top-notch equipment with more money, and of course there are countless arrows.

Seeing the arrows throwing out as if they don't want money, Ma Wan's heart is bleeding, I managed to save this little man!

Leaving hundreds of corpses behind, Ma Wan retreated without hesitation. He walked swiftly. He obviously couldn't take down the enemy. If he was still wasting his time here, wouldn't he be stupid? What if Wei Qi came to kill him from behind?
The battle was over, Cao Chong was still confused, why did they come here, they rushed up for no reason, then retreated for no reason, waved their hands, leaving corpses everywhere.

"Young master, the enemy probably underestimated our numbers and combat power, and wanted to destroy us in one go, and then retreated immediately after seeing that something was wrong!" Zhao Yun guessed.

'It's that simple? Cao Chong always felt a little unreal.

"Young master, we are all in the big camp. The enemy came in a hurry. Obviously, we didn't observe carefully. Moreover, due to terrain restrictions, our camp is crowded. The enemy may have misjudged it." Xia Houba explained beside him.

"The reason for the retreat was that we didn't expect us to have so many bows and crossbows! More than half of the 2000 people were equipped with bows and crossbows, and five or six thousand feathered arrows were thrown out in an instant just now. I have been fighting for half my life, and I have never seen many Come back!" Zhao Yun's expression was brilliant.

"Forget it, they have already run away anyway, and the previous question is still, how dare they break into the fifty miles behind Tongguan?" Cao Chong brought the question back.

"I guess Tongguan is in danger!" Zhao Yun said quietly.

"Ah! No way? Although Wei Ke is a civil servant, there are still nearly 2 people there? Tongguan is so dangerous, and it is difficult to pose a threat if there are no more than 5 people."

What Cao Chong didn't say was; the young master also has someone in Tongguan, so why is there no news at such a short distance?
"Then what should we do now?" Xia Houba asked.

Before Cao Chong could answer, Zhang Biao hurried in.

"Young master, Fengling Ferry fell yesterday, and a large number of enemies flowed directly from the Yellow River to the back of Tongguan!"

Two, Fenglingdu is on the north bank of the Yellow River and east of Tongguan. Is this how it was taken away?Tongguan is really troublesome now.

"Isn't Xiahouyuan in Puban? Does he know that Fenglingdu is lost?"

"This, the school affairs office has no way of knowing."

"Quick, no matter what method you use, get in touch with Xia Houyuan quickly!" Cao Chong immediately gave an order to the school affairs office.

"Where is Lu Xun?"

"You can arrive to meet us tonight."

"Don't wait for him! The whole army set off and play with the horse!"

"Young master, it's dangerous!" Xia Houba objected immediately.

"Yes, young master, we don't know how many of the enemy have gone around to the rear of Tongguan?" Zhao Yun also persuaded.

"There's no danger. Since we succeeded in attacking Fenglingdu yesterday, there must be no time to ambush us on the road. In this case, the road is so wide, and it's impossible for the army to go around and surround us. If we can't beat us, we won't run? At most, throw away some baggage." Cao Chong's analysis was very thorough.

Zhao Yun thought about it for a while, and felt that it was true. If something went wrong, running away would not be a big problem.

"Put the scouts farther away and tell Lu Xun to follow. We have to be careful of the enemy going down the river and running behind us." Zhao Yun agreed with Cao Chong's approach.

"Don't worry, the enemy's detour behind Tongguan must be to quickly take Tongguan before Xia Houyuan arrives, and he has no energy to pay attention to other things. Otherwise, once Xiahouyuan crosses the river, no one who detours behind Tongguan will be able to escape! Let's harass around to see if it can relieve Wei Ke's pressure, if something is wrong, retreat immediately."

When Ma Wan saw Cao Chong following up, he was furious and ordered to stop immediately, and sniped on the spot, and he must not let Cao Chong go to Tongguan.

"Ma Wan is not stupid, I know what you want to do, and I'm here to intercept you!" Seeing Ma Wan posing in front, Xia Houba said to Cao Chong with a smile.

"Overestimating one's abilities!" Cao Chong said casually.

"Zhao Yun, it's up to you! A hearty victory, let me have the demeanor of Zhao Zilong in Changshan!"
