"Don't worry, Zilong, in today's battle, although our army is at a disadvantage, it is still no problem to defend Hulao Pass.

Besides, we still have reinforcements on our way to the south, and Cao Cao himself has troubles that he can't solve, so we just need to spend time with him.

What Cao Cao relies on is only the [-] to [-] elite cavalry. It is really difficult to wipe out this enemy army, but we don't have to defeat them. "

It's not that Chen Feng never thought about the danger of dividing his troops, but now, he has no choice. Holding Hulao Pass is not his goal. Migrating more people to Chang'an is the meaning of his struggle here.

Even if there is a certain risk in such a division of troops, compared to the benefits, the risk is worth it.

Compared with defending the city, Chen Feng prefers to go out to fight in the field, even if it will cause him to suffer greater losses, but Chen Feng doesn't seem to mind.

On the other hand, Li Ru was in full charge of Chang'an's affairs. The work of catering for the migration of the people was not easy. Although there was the support of the army, the population was too large after all.

Fortunately, the arrival of Xu Huang and Hao Zhao relieved the pressure on Chang'an, especially the army from Hetao, which stabilized Chang'an's morale.

"Mengjin, Sishuiguan and other places are the top priorities. Cao Cao and the lord will not be unaware of this. Now, it depends on who can free up first."

While Chen Feng was discussing the next plan, Li Ru was also staring at the map in a daze.This plan was proposed by him, so he naturally had to do his best to complete it.

After daybreak, Cao Jun's roar sounded again outside Hulao Pass. Before Cao Jun came to attack, Chen Feng led his cavalry to attack again.

Although Cao's army was elite and stronger in fighting power, after losing Xiliang, Cao Cao had no source of war horses, especially in order to defeat Chen Feng, Cao Cao directly led his army here without bringing more war horses.

This kind of battle caused a lot of damage to the cavalry, and even greater damage to the horses. Chen Feng attacked several times, not to defeat Cao's cavalry, but to drag them down.

But at present, Cao Cao does not seem to have thought of this.Although Chen Feng's behavior of leaving the city to fight was a bit abnormal, the overall situation was still favorable to Cao Jun.

Chapter 492

For five days in a row, the defenders in Hulao Pass went out of the city to attack tirelessly. After encountering Cao Jun's cavalry, the two sides started fighting even if they disagreed.

From fighting generals to fighting formations, it can be said that the soldiers of both sides have played it over and over again. Cao Jun's cavalry is indeed elite, but it is the first time to face such an endless battle.

During these five days, the soldiers under Chen Feng's command did not gain much from the battle, and even suffered losses all the time. Although Chen Feng called four thousand Qiang cavalry from the direction of Sili, this could not make up for the loss of the war.

Cao Jun's tiger and wolf division is by no means bragging. Whether it is a large-scale charge of soldiers or a decisive battle between small groups of troops, Cao Jun has the upper hand.

As for the Qiang cavalry, the tactics they mastered were nothing more than collective charge, fighting, and desperate. Whenever they fought hard against Cao Jun, the Qiang cavalry basically lost seven out of ten battles.

"Damn it, this group of people are pigs, didn't they tell them not to beat the enemy to death, Zilong, Lingming, next time you attack, besides your own soldiers and horses, you will each lead [-] Qiang cavalry.

If we continue to resist like this, our army may die faster.Although the main forces of both sides are gathered outside Hulao Pass, the battlefield is not necessarily here. "

After learning of the loss of his subordinates, Chen Feng's inner anger can be imagined.Cao Jun's equipment is sharp and well-trained, and his combat effectiveness must be higher than that of the Qiang cavalry. Even Chen Feng himself dare not take advantage of Cao Jun's superiority.

These days, Chen Feng has been repeatedly defeated. If Zhao Yun and Pound hadn't supported him and used his cavalry and shooting tactics to harass and restrain the main force of Cao's army, Hulao Pass would have been conquered long ago.

"Fortunately, in five days, I finally achieved some results. Cao Cao, Cao Cao, let's continue to consume and see who can spend more than whom."

After getting the battle report from Nanyang, Chen Feng finally felt better.Wen Meng and Lu Xiao went to Nanyang, and soon urged the local people to move.

Due to Liu Biao's previous Northern Expedition, the scope of the war was quite wide, especially the cavalry of the Cao Army led by Cao Chun and Cao Zhen caused a lot of commotion in Nanyang.

Many places were plundered, causing many refugees to appear in the local area, and many aristocratic families were also ruined. When the cavalry sent by Chen Feng arrived, these people had to migrate to Chang'an.

In five days, about 20 people will leave, and more common people and families will also participate. The premise is that Chen Feng has to support it for a longer time.

"This kid, are you crazy? Within five days, he lost one after another, and now he is going to fight. Is this the way the prairie wolf cavalry fight?"

In the big tent, Cao Cao listened to his subordinates' reports, with a serious look on his face.These days, his subordinates have performed very well, at least annihilating no less than [-] enemy troops.

Of course, there were some losses on my own side, and there were not many dead in battle. The key point was that many horses were injured or died in battle, which reduced the number of cavalry to less than [-].

If other troops were suppressed and beaten by Cao Jun in this way, I'm afraid they would have to hide and lick their wounds now, unlike Chen Feng, who continued to go out of the city to fight in the field.

"Report, please inform the Prime Minister that two groups of cavalry from the front and rear of the enemy army left the customs. There are more than [-] people, and they rushed towards Xudu and Wancheng respectively."

"Huh? What does this mean, encircling Wei and saving Zhao? The main forces of both sides are here, so Chen Feng dares to divide his troops?

Could it be that he wants to take the opportunity to occupy Mengjin, Sishuiguan and other places?This is not realistic, there are not enough soldiers and horses, or the Hulao Pass is lost, what is the use of occupying these places? "

Hearing this report, Cao Cao was a little curious. Is Chen Feng stupid or crazy?

"Prime Minister, Wancheng has just experienced a big battle, with heavy casualties, so we must guard against it. Xu Du is the top priority, so we must be careful.

According to my subordinates, no matter what Chen Feng's purpose is, as long as we annihilate these two cavalrymen, he won't be able to cause any disturbances. "

Xia Houyuan's thinking is much simpler, no matter what Chen Feng is thinking, we will attack directly.Hulaoguan has a towering city wall, which is indeed difficult to conquer.

But those two groups of cavalry are now out of the city, so they have no support. It's not that there are no field cavalry on my side, so I'm afraid they will fail.

"That's right, Chen Feng sent them to die, I will not be polite, Yuan Rang and Miao Cai, you two command [-] cavalry each, and go after the two groups of enemy troops.

Remember, wipe out the enemy army as soon as possible, and never let them capture the city, let alone let them enter the rear of our army. "

"No, this subordinate takes orders,,,,,,"

Sending out two generals and [-] elite cavalry all at once was a big deal. Cao Cao knew that Chen Feng would not have enough troops.

Two days later, the battle at Hulaoguan was still going on. Cao Jun stormed the city, and Gao Lan's subordinates defended the city.Fortunately, Hao Zhao arrived with [-] infantry, finally temporarily resolving the problem of insufficient troops at Hulao Pass.

The migratory team on the Nanyang side increased to 50. Xia Houyuan led 3000 cavalry to track Pound's [-] people. The two sides fought fiercely several times, but did not lose many soldiers and horses.

Many times, it was Pang De who led the army to run in front, and Xia Houyuan who led the army to chase after them. This went on for a long time, but the soldiers on both sides did not lose much, but the horses died of exhaustion.

As a result, Nanyang, which was already a bit dilapidated, became even more chaotic. Both Pang De and Xia Houyuan were in urgent need of supplies and food.

Therefore, sometimes, for convenience, certain aristocratic families were attacked by Pound.And Xia Houyuan also had to collect food and grass from the local people.

As a result, more Nanyang people and aristocratic families suffered from military disasters, and then had to migrate to Chang'an under the guidance of caring people.

"Come on, Xiahoudun, just because you want to stop me?"

On the other side, Zhao Yun led [-] cavalry and took Xiahou Dun around in circles. The two sides ran non-stop in Yingchuan, Henan, Hanoi and other places, kept in contact, and then quickly separated.

Zhao Yun, who is well versed in the tactics of cavalry detours and large-scale galloping, provoked Xiahou Dun to pursue him, while fighting and retreating, but refused to fight Xiahou Dun decisively.

Such a rogue and time-consuming tactic can be regarded as tormenting Xiahou Dun a lot.Most of the time, he wanted to directly challenge Zhao Yun. If this continued, let alone starting a war, the horses would probably be exhausted.

"If you have the guts, stop and fight, what kind of ability is running away like a rat all the time, Zhao Yun, aren't you known as the Northern Xinjiang Killer? You, if you have the guts, stop and fight with me..."

Xiahou Dun's roar came from behind, and the roar of Cao Jun's soldiers also reached Zhao Yun's ears, but neither Zhao Yun nor his subordinates paid attention to the enemy.

Turning around and shooting back, long-distance detours, long-distance trekking, this is the tactic that Chen Feng explained to Zhao Yun and Pang De. No matter how provocative the enemy is, they are not allowed to stop and fight. The cavalry of Cao Jun suffered a lot this time.
