However, Lu Bu's victory is good news for the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army.

With a stable rear, the lieutenants can face the enemy with more peace of mind on the battlefield.

Yuan Shu's invasion had a great impact on Xuzhou. From the number of merchants entering and leaving Pengcheng, it can be seen that no matter what kind of war, once it starts, it will bring disaster to a city.

Fortunately, the Xuzhou army did not choose to defend the city at this time, but resisted Yuan Shu's army outside the city, so that all the fertile land outside the city would not fall into the control of the enemy.

Fields are an important foundation for the survival of the people. The Xuzhou army went out to fight against the city, which also made the families and people in the city breathe a sigh of relief.

If the Xuzhou army relied on Pengcheng to fight against Yuan Shu, what kind of damage would the fields outside the city suffer.

Chapter 308 There is a problem with the enemy's food and supplies

Yuan Shu's army approached Xuzhou's army. This situation made the officers and men of Xuzhou's army very angry. However, without Jia Xu's order, they did not dare to fight easily. Before Lu Bu left, the power of the general was handed over to Jia Xu.

To disobey Jia Xu's order is to fight against Lu Bu. Such consequences are not something ordinary generals can bear.

When the generals in the army called for the battle, they also noticed that Gao Shun, Xu Chu and other generals in the Xuzhou army kept silent.

The Xuzhou Army's defenses are more stringent than ever. At this time, what Jia Xu has to do is to keep the battlefield as it was before. Everything will not be decided until Lu Bu leads the cavalry back to Pengcheng.

Jia Xu indeed has an extraordinary strategy. In terms of influence in the army, it is more than a star and a half behind Lu Bu. The same order, issued by different people, will have many different effects. When the soldiers treated Lu Bu, they were crazy, and they could even die for an order from Lu Bu.

In the territory of Runan, a convoy escorting luggage left Sishan City and came towards Dan County.

There were about 2000 soldiers escorting the luggage, and tens of thousands of young men were responsible for transporting the luggage.

A team of this size is definitely huge.

The team was vigilant.

"General Cao, this supply team must be of great significance to Yuan Shu. If it burns the enemy's food and supplies, it will be a great achievement." The lieutenant stepped forward and said in a low voice.

Cao Xing said: "There are Hun cavalry in Runan now. These Hun cavalry are not weak, and there are many of them. If we are not careful, our army will be in danger."

"The general is unparalleled in resourcefulness. He has already ordered people to restrain the Xiongnu cavalry in the Xiyang area. With the Huns' brains, it is absolutely impossible to find traces of our army." The lieutenant general laughed.

The appearance of the Xiongnu cavalry in Runan posed a great threat to the actions of Cao Xing and others. However, Cao Xing led the cavalry to be active in Runan, which could be considered as a check on Yuan Shu.

The dry food needed by the cavalry was naturally provided by the cities under Yuan Shu's rule. For Cao Xing at this time, anyone who lives under the enemy's rule is an enemy. When facing the enemy, he certainly does not need to be soft-hearted , If you need anything, just bring it over.

Cao Xing nodded slightly, and led the cavalry to Yuzhou. Cao Xing naturally wanted to do something bigger. Cao Xing was most concerned about Yuan Shu's army's food road. As long as Yuan Shu's army's food road was cut off, the Xuzhou army's next battle It is of great help.

Food and grass are of great significance to a large army. If the safety of food and grass cannot be guaranteed, how will the soldiers of the army react.

Cao Xing wanted to make Yuan Shu's soldiers fear him.

There are many strong generals under Lu Bu's command, and among these strong generals, Cao Xing is definitely one of the better ones.

Zhang Liao is now guarding one side, so Cao Xing is naturally not to be outdone.

After leading the Xiongnu cavalry to Xiyang, he can continue to show off his prestige in Yuzhou.

When the scouts in the army discovered the existence of this baggage transport team, Cao Xing led the cavalry to ambush.

"Perhaps the enemy thinks that this general is still leading the army in Xiyang." Cao Xing smiled after trying to understand what happened.

The lieutenant-general repeatedly said yes, running around in Yuzhou territory, although the task was considered completed, but the credit he got in this way must be much less than killing more enemy troops.

"Order scouts, carefully inquire about the news of this team, and the rest will wait for the general's orders." Cao Xing gave the order.

It was approaching the Ministry of Peiguo, and the team transporting grain, grass, and supplies moved much slower. Now that the weather is hot, transporting grain, grass, and luggage to the battlefield is definitely a very hard work.

Fighting is not a joke, even in the process of transporting food and supplies, there is the danger of death, so we must be vigilant at all times.

Just when the food delivery team had just rested, billows of dust and smoke came from far and near.

After discovering the situation in the distance, the team transporting the luggage was in chaos, and the young men in charge of transporting the luggage were even more panic-stricken, and many fled in all directions.

Following the delivery team, they don't have to worry about food and drink. Once their lives are in danger, they will make the choice that is most beneficial to them.

Unarmed young and strong, when facing the enemy, they only have the fate of being beheaded. Instead of this, it is better to escape from the battlefield as soon as possible. In this case, there may be a chance of escaping and ascending to heaven.

Under normal circumstances, the soldiers of the enemy army would not be too embarrassing to the young and strong who transported the luggage, which meant that they would not be in so much danger.

Du Yuan, the general who was transporting food and supplies, immediately ordered the soldiers of the army to gather more vehicles together. In this way, when responding to the cavalry attack, it would not be necessary to use flesh and blood to block the cavalry's charge.

"General Du, these must be Xuzhou cavalry wandering around in Yuzhou." A military marquis said with a serious expression.

The momentum of the cavalry charging was really astonishing. In front of the cavalry, the power of the infantry seemed so small.

Du Yuan snorted coldly: "No matter who these people are, they must ensure the safety of their luggage."

"Here." Everyone said in unison.

Food, grass and supplies are too important. If there is any mistake on the way, you will definitely be severely punished after returning to the army.

Du Yuan's expression was calm, he didn't seem to be panicked by the Xuzhou cavalry's surprise attack. If you observe carefully, you will find that the same is true for the army Sima.

The galloping cavalry did not give Du Yuan's soldiers more preparations. Their charge made the escorting army look a little confused.

Fortunately, the defensive formation was barely formed, but the defense needed to be continuously reinforced when responding to the cavalry attack.

A burst of arrows came towards the escorting army, and many soldiers fell directly in a pool of blood.

Xuzhou cavalry, as if they were showing superb riding skills in front of the escorting army, they were doing various movements flexibly on the horse.

The arrows were sharp, and they kept harvesting the lives of the escorting soldiers. Many soldiers lowered their bodies and hid behind the vehicles, for fear that they would be shot by the Xuzhou cavalry after showing their heads.

The combat effectiveness displayed by the Xuzhou cavalry is not insignificant. If such superb riding skills appear on the battlefield, it will cause huge damage to the enemy.

Du Yuan was not in the mood to appreciate the charge of the Xuzhou army, he looked around, as if he was waiting for something.

"General, there is a problem with the enemy's food and supplies." A team led by horses and shouted.

Cao Xing's expression changed, and when he saw the things in the baggage vehicle, his expression changed drastically. These are not the rice grains that Yuan Shu's army needs, but bags of sand.

Chapter 309 Huns Cavalry

"No, I've been fooled!" Cao Xing reacted and exclaimed.

The cavalry around Cao Xing didn't look very good either. They would get a lot of credit for raiding the enemy's grain and grass if they succeed, but it's really depressing that these rice grains are made of sand.

"Retreat!" Cao Xing shouted.

Obviously, the team that escorted the grain, grass and luggage this time was deliberately attracting them to show up. Even Yuan Shu had already set up an ambush here, just waiting for him to lead the cavalry to show up. Cao Xing's back broke out in cold sweat when he thought of this.

The cavalry is the elite on the battlefield, and it is the most important force under Lu Bu's command. If a thousand cavalry fails on the battlefield in Yuzhou, what impact will it have on the Xuzhou army.

Cao Xing couldn't imagine the consequences of this failure. He wanted to take away as many cavalry as possible.

"The enemy army has been fooled, you follow this general to kill the enemy!" Du Yuan laughed loudly.

Although the soldiers in the army were a little unclear, seeing Du Yuan's fighting spirit, Yang Ang felt a lot more relaxed. Escorting food and supplies is the most important thing for an army. If the supplies are looted by the enemy, they will return to the army. They will also be punished. As for the food and supplies in the army, no one dares to open them without the order of the general.

This is also the reason why lieutenant soldiers have been kept in the dark.

On the high ground in the distance, two cavalry came roaring from left to right. The cavalry continued to make strange shouts as they moved forward. They were the Xiongnu cavalry following Yu Fuluo to help Yuan Shu.

Originally, the Xuzhou cavalry had the upper hand, but because of the appearance of the Huns cavalry, they fell into a dangerous situation.

The situation reversed, and the soldiers under Du Yuan's command were in high spirits, and under the leadership of Du Yuan, they took the initiative to attack.

It is definitely something worth showing off that infantry dare to chase and kill cavalry.

"General, what should we do?" the lieutenant asked anxiously.

Cao Xing said in a deep voice: "Retreat as much as possible, I will lead the cavalry to cut off the rear."

"No general, the last general is willing to cut off the heir," said the lieutenant general.

Cao Xing said: "The reason for the failure of this surprise attack is because of my general's fault. I will be in charge of cutting off the rear. If I can't withdraw from the battlefield, I will tell Marquis Wen and say that Cao Xing has no face to go back to Marquis Wen. If there is an afterlife, I also wish to serve as a general under Marquis Wen and fight for Marquis Wen."

"The last general..." The lieutenant general's eyes were reddish, and the enemy cavalry roaring from left and right seemed to be overwhelming. Even the elite Xuzhou cavalry would suffer serious damage if they suddenly encountered such an attack.

"Leave quickly." Cao Xing waved his hand.

"Here." The deputy general saluted solemnly, he knew that he might not see Cao Xing after this trip.

Cao Xing was the general who followed Lu Bu at the beginning. Both his martial arts and his ability to lead troops in battle were relatively powerful. He was admired by the soldiers in the army. The reason for obedience.

It is inevitable that such a fierce general will fall on the battlefield like this, which will make people feel sad.

"General Cao, you must come back alive." The lieutenant took a deep look at Cao Xing, who was riding his horse and spear, and murmured.

The speed of the cavalry was very fast, and the cavalry, which was still far away, was already approaching.

Cao Xing shouted loudly: "Your Lang from the Xiaoqi Battalion, follow me to kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy!" More than [-] cavalrymen from the Xiaoqi Battalion shouted in unison. They couldn't help but clenched their weapons. The Xiongnu cavalry had been looking for his traces on the battlefield in Yuzhou and wanted to wipe them out. The cavalry in the middle knew it.

Now that our side has encountered the enemy's ambush, it is the critical moment of life and death. If we can't escape from the battlefield, the most likely situation will be death.

They are the elite cavalry battalion under Lu Bu's command. In previous battles, how many powerful enemy troops have been wiped out. Their pride does not allow them to retreat at this time. As long as they have a breath, they must persist tenaciously on the battlefield down.

"The Xiongnu cavalry, I want to understand it." Cao Xing snorted coldly, and rode his horse towards the cavalry on the right.

This is a battlefield for the cavalry, even if Du Yuan has nearly [-] soldiers under his command, he would not dare to approach easily at this time, once the cavalry charge up, they will not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and the infantry in their battle is just The most vulnerable existence will be cut off if it is collided by a war horse.

Cao Xing took the lead, waving the spear in his hand, and a Hun cavalry fell off his horse before he could react.

Cao Xing's attack brought more cavalry attacks from the Huns. The Huns who grew up on horseback were eagles on the grasslands in the past. Although they were defeated by the Han army, they had their own pride.

The strength of the cavalry of the Han army was not taken seriously by the cavalry of the Huns. Today's big Han is not what it used to be. From the Liangzhou battlefield, it can be seen that the Han army is exhausted. In response to the battle of the Qiang people in Liangzhou, the powerful big Han difficult to handle.

As the Shanyu of the Huns, Yu Fuluo naturally wanted to lead the Huns to glory and help Yuan Shu. In his opinion, he was helping the Huns. At that time, with Yuan Shu's influence among the princes, he could help Yuan Shu to a greater extent. Huns.

The two cavalrymen meet and use their own methods. After the clash of arrows, they charge the horses. This is also the time when the cavalry is tested the most.

The Huns are proficient in horse bows and have rich experience on horseback.

But after fighting for a while, Yu Fuluo's heart tightened. From the Han cavalry, he felt that the strength of the cavalry was not inferior to that of the Xiongnu cavalry, especially the movements of these cavalry on horseback were extremely smooth. However, if they didn't know the truth, the Xiongnu cavalry thought they had encountered a cavalry team on the grassland.

A famous cavalryman fell off his horse during such a charge. The ownerless horse lost control and ran with the torrent of iron cavalry. Some horses even stood in place, as if they had been greatly frightened.

Yu Fuluo's expression was a little dignified. Only by completely annihilating this cavalry from the Xuzhou Army can the value of the Huns' cavalry be reflected, which is also what Yu Fuluo is pursuing.

It would be the most embarrassing thing if the cavalry of the Han army could not be wiped out despite the superiority in numbers.

"Don't get away alone!" Yu Fuluo shouted.

The Xiongnu cavalry, riding their horses and galloping, constantly expanded the battlefield, trying to surround all the Xuzhou cavalry.

Often a Xuzhou cavalry needs to face the attack of two or even three Hun cavalry. If the Xuzhou cavalry is on guard, it is easy to say, the key is that the timing of the Hun cavalry's appearance is too sudden.

In such a situation, the cavalry of the Xiaoqi Battalion fought desperately. They did not retreat because of the superiority of the Huns cavalry. They were the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion under the command of Marquis Wen.

The horses galloped, dust and smoke billowed on the battlefield, and the sound of horseshoes even covered the sound of the clash of weapons.

Chapter 310 Cao Xing Was Captured

This was a desperate confrontation. Under the leadership of the lieutenant general, most of the cavalry of the Xiaoqi Battalion retreated while fighting. During the retreat, they caused damage to the Huns cavalry from time to time.

The Xiongnu cavalry saw how fierce the archery of the Xiaoqiying Battalion was, and could even be compared with the Xiongnu cavalry in this regard. In close combat, the Hun cavalry also paid a heavy price.

The [-] cavalry who originally followed Cao Xingduan, after half an hour of confrontation, only a hundred or so remained.

The Hun cavalry's superiority in numbers played a huge role, and it was not because the cavalry of the Xiao cavalry battalion were not brave enough.

"Shan Yu, there is a very brave general in the Han army. Nearly ten cavalrymen of our army have died at the hands of him." A commander rode his horse and shouted.

Yu Fuluo snorted coldly: "It's just a general of the Han army."

"Try to capture him alive." Yu Fuluo added.

Among the cavalry of the Huns, the most indispensable thing is the warriors. This cavalry is originally a warrior drawn from the Huns tribe. When they encounter a war, they dare to charge forward, and their personal strength is strong.

More and more Hun cavalry came towards Cao Xing. In their eyes, Cao Xing was a prisoner who could exchange credit for merit in front of Shan Yu.

"General, we are surrounded by the Huns." A village chief shouted, but he didn't see the slightest fear in his expression.
