Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 428 Famous General Cao Ren
"General Cao Ren, this is all a misunderstanding. My [-] men are not here to attack Pingding City!"

It was too late, Yu Fuluo's explanation was like a leaf left in the wind, and Cao Ren was no longer on the city wall at this time.

The Huns are untrustworthy. This was taught by Cao Cao to Cao Ren. Looking back, Liu Yu warned Cao Cao by quoting the words from the Zuo Zhuan.

Cao Cao listened to it, so he didn't really form an alliance with the Huns from the beginning.

The next moment the gate of Pingding city opened, Cao Ren took the lead, and went straight to the enemy's head with a broadsword in his hand, followed by thousands of Bingzhou cavalry who had been on standby for a long time.

And the archers on the city wall had already retreated quietly, replaced by countless ballistas.

The ballista was used in wars as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The ballista is large in size and has a long range. The crossbow bolts used are like spears. They are sharp weapons for city defense and even long-range weapons against cavalry.

The sound of charging behind them made the Huns cavalry do not know what to do, and the sneak attack of crossbow arrows in front of them made them even more confused.

Yu Fuluo was still trying to explain to the city wall, but Cao Ren's sword was getting closer and closer to him.

"What the hell is going on here!"

The current situation made Yu Fuluo lose his ability to cope. He was prepared to bully others before he came, but he never thought that Cao Ren would come for real.

Let's fight, if you retreat at this time, you will only become the target of being hunted down.

Yu Fuluo had no choice but to bite the bullet and gave the order to go to war.

But without the advance sprint, the power of the Hun cavalry was reduced, and Yu Fuluo did not let his men bring more bows and arrows before coming, which further limited the combat power of this cavalry.

On the contrary, Cao Ren prepared for a long time. He not only set up tiger and leopard cavalry to charge outside the city, but also dispatched archers to ambush on both sides. After a burst of shooting, the Hun cavalry suffered damage again.

The remaining Hun cavalry no longer had any fighting spirit, and they showed their defeat just as soon as they came into contact with the Bingzhou cavalry in the city.

Besides, the [-] Huns in the rear were young and strong, they were almost unarmed, and they collapsed in an instant under the charge of the tiger and leopard cavalry commanded by Cao Chun.

The battle lasted for more than half an hour. After the tiger and leopard cavalry dispersed [-] Xiongnu youths, they immediately formed an encirclement with Cao Ren, and it didn't take long for the Xiongnu cavalry to also start to break up.

Seeing that the situation was over, Yu Fuluo could only lead thousands of defeated soldiers to flee in the direction of Wangting.

Once the war started, it would not stop easily. Yu Fuluo thought that he would have a chance to regain his strength by fleeing back to the King's Court of the Huns. Unfortunately, when he galloped for dozens of miles with the defeated soldiers, he saw thick smoke billowing in the direction of the King's Court.

It turned out that as early as when Yufulo led his troops to Pingding City, another elite recruits from Bingzhou, the Iron Armored Battalion, also started to act.

The Iron Armor Battalion has a total of 2 people, and the leaders are Cao Xiu, Cao Cao's clan son known as Qianliju, and Cao Cao's adopted son Cao Zhen.

Both of them hadn't reached the championship yet, but their military strength was extraordinary, and they were even more talented in commanding troops in battle. Cao Cao liked the two of them very much, so he handed over the newly formed Iron Armored Battalion to the two for training and leadership.

Before going to Yangquan Pass, Cao Cao secretly ordered the two of them to secretly monitor Yu Fuluo and raid the Huns' royal court at the right time.

When Yu Fuluo saw the thick smoke in the direction of the royal court, he was completely disheartened. He only blamed him for not blindly leading troops to find Cao Ren's troubles.

It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in the world. The decision Yu Fuluo must make now is whether to continue fleeing and call other tribes to fight against Bingzhou, or to give up the title of Shanyu and go to Jinyang to take the blame.

Choosing the former may be difficult, but you can preserve the last backbone of the grassland people, while choosing the latter will definitely make you rich and rich, but you will never have any power.

Just when Yu Fuluo was in a dilemma, Cao Ren and Cao Chun's soldiers and horses approached. It seemed that the two of them would chase to the end this time.

The two sides fought again, and Cao Ren shouted before the battle, telling Yu Fuluo to dismount quickly and surrender.

Yu Fuluo clamored that he would be anxious that all the nomadic tribes on the grassland would become enemies with Bingzhou.

At this time, Cao Ren laughed contemptuously.

"Yu Fuluo, you underestimate my elder brother's layout too much. Not only did you set up multiple ambushes today, but you also sent eloquent people from Bingzhou to lobby the grassland tribes. I believe that when the tribal leaders see the tempting I will definitely not choose to betray the covenant with you when I get the jewelry and supplies!"

After hearing this, Yu Fuluo collapsed. It turned out that Cao Cao, whom he regarded as a good friend, had already planned to deal with him, but he foolishly threw himself into the trap. Compared with Fuluo, he only felt It is far from Cao Cao.

"Oh! That's all."

Yu Fuluo sighed heavily, he had no choice now, even if he escaped by chance, he would have no chance to make a comeback.

So he ordered all his men to throw away their weapons and dismount to accept the surrender.

Cao Ren deserves to be Cao Cao's most trusted general. The battle lasted one day and completely disintegrated the Huns in Xihe County. Although many of the strategies against Yu Fuluo were made by Cao Cao, Cao Ren's execution ability is not ordinary generals achievable.

In history, Cao Ren was a famous general with super commanding troops and the ability to defend the city. He could not only defend Fancheng to force back the mighty Guan Yu, but also defend the south against Sun Wu's army for decades.

The trajectory of life may change, but this person's ability will not be false.

So from the moment Cao Cao chose to develop in Bingzhou, Cao Ren also quickly demonstrated his full ability, which is why he became the first commander-level figure in the Bingzhou Army to lead an army alone.

…………

Just as the battle in Xihe County was in full swing, Cao Cao's main force returned to Jinyang City.

As soon as he entered the city, Cao Cao entered the military mansion with his personal guard Dian Wei.

"I don't know the lord's sudden return, and I'm disappointed. I hope the lord will forgive me."

Guo Jia said that he didn't know that Cao Cao would suddenly withdraw his troops and return, but the table in the main hall had already prepared delicious food and wine for him.

Seeing this, Cao Cao shook his head and smiled, "You can't take Feng Xiao's words seriously!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao walked to the table and signaled Guo Jia to come over and have a drink together.

Cao Cao suddenly put down the wine when he was on the verge of drinking, but Guo Jia didn't pick up the wine bowl, as if he had long concluded that Cao Cao didn't call him to drink.

"Feng Xiao thinks...should I chase after him?"

Guo Jia didn't answer immediately, but picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.

"Since the lord came back early, he must have made a decision long ago. This matter is of great importance and far-reaching, and it is no longer something that people at this level can decide."

"...At most, I can give some suggestions on what to chase and what not to chase!"

Guo Jia slowly put down the wine bowl, waiting for Cao Cao to decide whether to listen to his suggestion.

Cao Cao didn't ask immediately, but took a sip of wine, his eyes quickly lost in thought.
