"That bandit is nothing to worry about."

Cao Cao obviously didn't take Zang Ba seriously, or in other words, in Cao Cao's view, Gao Shun was the only person under Lu Bu's command that he feared the most, and Zhang Liao was the one he admired the most, and Zang Ba was ranked after these two. , so he didn't care about Zang Ba.

"Look here, what do you think?"

"Fenglingdu? This place is overgrown with reeds and the land is muddy, not suitable for cavalry combat."

"Okay, then here it is,,,,,,"

Chapter 124 Xuzhou Battle 2

"Send an order to Ziwen to drive the defeated army to Fenglingdu."

Cao Cao stroked his beard, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.

"In addition, send an order to Zhang Xiu, ordering him to lead the cavalry of the headquarters to Fenglingdu. If the rout arrives, the enemy will be wiped out."

"Huh? My lord, this place is not suitable for cavalry combat. General Zhang Xiu has elite cavalry all under his command. This..."

"Go pass the order,,,,,,"

"No, this subordinate will leave."

Perhaps because he understood Cao Cao's intentions, or perhaps because he was afraid of Cao Cao's majesty, Cheng Yu didn't say anything more.

In many cases, he clearly knew that Cao Cao's decision-making or thinking was problematic, but he could only persuade a few words. As his strength grew, this once enlightened lord gradually became arbitrary.

"Ang'er, I will avenge you as a father, rest in peace..."

On the other side, after breaking through several cottages and cities, Cao Zhang led the cavalry to use driving tactics, mobilizing these rout soldiers like wolves driving sheep.

There were nearly 4000 routs in total, but Cao Zhang had less than 2000, but Cao Zhang took advantage of the cavalry to firmly restrain these routs.

"Drive them to Fenglingdu?"

After receiving Cao Cao's order, Cao Zhang was full of doubts. He didn't understand why his father gave this order. There were only four thousand defeated soldiers here.

Even if there is a further increase, it will not exceed 5000 people. Cao Zhang is confident that he will use the driving tactics to drag down these rout troops.

However, Cao Zhang has always carried out his father's orders unconditionally. Since his father deliberately passed the order to him, it means that he has his own plan. Cao Zhang understands that all he has to do is execute it.

"Pass down the order to send three teams of cavalry, each with 300 men, to drive the enemy away and drive them to Fenglingdu..."

As for cavalry tactics, Cao Zhang is still learning, and the group of rout soldiers in front of him is the object of his practice. He knows in his heart that he will go through too many battles in his life, so he must grow up as soon as possible.

"Fenglingdu? Are you sure?"

In an inconspicuous forest, Zhang Fei and the [-] cavalry around him hid here, and he hid the rest of the cavalry in different places.

"God help me, originally I planned to lure this Huang Xu'er to Fenglingdu.

Now it seems that I was unnecessary. In this case, pass on the order that we go to Fenglingdu and wait for Huang Xuer first. Also, send someone to tell Zhang Da to go directly to Fenglingdu with the broken soldiers. Reloaded. "

Zhang Fei is very familiar with cavalry. He is You Yanerlang, and he has also been familiar with the art of cavalry since he was a child.

When he was under Gongsun Zan's command, he learned a lot of tactics from Zhao Yun and others. Coupled with these years of experience, he can be regarded as a qualified cavalry general.

Regarding Xuzhou's topography, Zhang Fei had already sent people to inquire very clearly. He knew exactly where Fenglingdu was, what types of troops were suitable for combat, and how many troops were suitable for combat.

He has been testing Cao Zhang these days, and after several sneak attacks were seen through by Cao Zhang, he thought of using the defeated soldiers to plot against Cao Zhang.

"Drive, drive,,,,,," Zhang Xiu whipped his mount, and at the same time he did not forget to call his subordinates to speed up.

"Hurry up, the enemy army will arrive at Fenglingdu soon, under the order of the prime minister, go to Fenglingdu to wipe out the enemy army."

"My lord, my lord,,,,,,"

Hu Che'er rode his horse to catch up with Zhang Xiu, his eyes were full of anxiety: "Master, why are we in such a hurry, it's getting dark, why don't we camp yet?"

"The military situation is urgent, so we can only drive overnight."

"It's a military situation again, don't you have to take the lives of your brothers into consideration?"

Hu Che'er has a relatively simple mind, and he doesn't have a good impression of Cao Cao, so he doesn't care about Cao Cao's orders.

"My lord, we have a total of three thousand brothers here this time, look at how tired they are now."

Hu Che'er persuaded: "If we work so hard, will he really care, my lord? Have you forgotten those brothers who died in Liyang? You forgot that we had [-] brothers back then, how many are left now, my lord. "

"Hey, people have to bow their heads under the eaves."

Zhang Xiu also understood the meaning of Hu Che'er's words. It was a helpless act to surrender to Cao Cao at the beginning, but he was also very entangled after he had a feud with Cao Cao to kill his son.

In these years, he also fought for Cao Cao, and many brothers under his command died in battle, but Cao Cao did not give him the benefits he deserved.

Originally, he had 1 elite men, but most of them were taken away by Cao Cao in various names. Now he really controls only more than [-] people.

Every time he goes out, he has to take a group of people away, and every time he returns, he always loses a group of people.

These are good brothers who followed him through life and death. Seeing them die before his eyes one by one, Zhang Xiu felt pain in his heart, but what choice did he have?

Many brothers in the army were rumored that he, Zhang Xiu, was trading the lives of his brothers for his own future. Zhang Xiu couldn't justify it, and he didn't know how to justify it.

"Hurry up, try to get to Fenglingdu before sunset tomorrow..." Faced with the pleading eyes of Hu Che'er and the guards, Zhang Xiu finally let them down again.

"Hmph, uneasy kindness, all of them are uneasy kindness."

Hu Che'er had already cursed out loud.Ever since he almost died in Li Yang last time, he didn't like Cao Cao and Cao Cao's cronies.If Cao Chun hadn't deliberately injured him with his horse that time, he wouldn't have had to rest for such a long time before he could move.

However, Zhang Xiu's order had already come down, and the three thousand cavalry could only choose to execute it.

Since they followed Zhang Ji many years ago, they were destined to be inseparable from the fate of the Zhang family. Later, when Zhang Ji handed over the military power to Zhang Xiu, he handed them over to Zhang Xiu in disguise.

One day later, Fengling Ferry, this is an unknown ferry, due to the lake water and silt, it is covered with aquatic plants such as reeds, and the most luxuriant place can accommodate thousands of people.

Zhang Fei and his 1000 cavalry were hiding in a forest not far from Fenglingdu, and [-] people were also hiding in the reeds at Fenglingdu.

Countless bamboo rafts are hidden in the reeds, and a thousand soldiers who are familiar with water sit on them and wait for orders. Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared, and everything that needs to be done has been done. Next, wait for the fish to take the bait .

After eating dry food, Zhang Fei squinted his eyes and entered a half-rest state. A large-scale war may break out next, so he must take good care of himself.

"General, they are here..." A soldier came over to report the latest information: "The enemy's [-] cavalry are driving the rout, and they will arrive in about a quarter of an hour."

"Okay, let's pass the order and prepare for battle..."

A quarter of an hour is not too long. Gradually, the shadows of a group of rout soldiers appeared three miles away from Fenglingdu. After a day and night of fleeing for their lives, there are now less than 3000 of these rout soldiers.

"Look, the ferry is here, there are enough boats there, brothers, get on the boat and escape for your life..." The leader rushed towards the ferry, and the rest immediately followed.
