Jimei Lu of the Three Kingdoms

This group of bastards usually trained well, but unexpectedly became dizzy in actual combat, and completely lost his old Pei's face.

Just as he was urging his horse and wielding his sword to fight, Pei Yuanshao suddenly heard Zhao Siye's call from the south bank of Mishui.

"Yuan Shao, don't be greedy for meritorious deeds, our army is suddenly attacked by the enemy, we should focus on safety, and lead the army back to the south bank first!"

Old Pei showed reluctance: "Fourth Master, our defense line has not been breached yet, I want to try to fight first."

Fourth Master Zhao was almost vomited blood by Lao Pei's anger: "Nonsense, don't you hear the principle of 'If you save land, you will lose all people's land; if you save people and lose land, all people and land will remain'?" Haven't you heard the teaching of the third brother? Let the brothers withdraw and talk about it!"

"But our army has already crossed the river. If there is any loss, our army will be in a state of food shortage."

When Lao Pei and Zhao Siye were quarreling across the river, Cao Jun took advantage of the first wave of arrow rain to rush to the defensive formation of Yunziying, and the fast runner was already holding the cart side with his hands and preparing to climb over. .

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Lao Pei could only quickly organize a group of soldiers who hadn't been frightened to form a circular defensive formation, and began to cover the evacuation of his comrades who had no fighting intentions.

When Cao Hong and Yu Jin urged the horses to lead the cavalry to arrive, most of the Yunziying soldiers had withdrawn to the north bank, and the remaining four or five hundred soldiers who persisted until the end turned their backs to the Mishui River and slowly retreated to the river. pontoon.

On the other side of the river, under the organization of Zhao Siye and Lao Pei, nearly a thousand archers lined up on the river bank, with bows and arrows, ready to cover their family back from the pontoon bridge at any time.

Cao Hong lifted the reins, rode his horse to the bank of the Mishui River, and faced Lin Jun across the river. He did not order the army to crush the small group of Lin Jun who were still slowly retreating on the pontoon bridge at this time.

The archers of the Yunzi Camp on the opposite bank were already in place. Even if Cao Jun wanted to eat this army of Lin Jun on the pontoon bridge, the price they would have to pay would not be lower than that of Lin Jun.

That's why Cao Hong graciously let go of the Yunzi Battalion troops in the back of the palace, and it is not suitable for the price to eat them.

"Hey, someone is Cao Hong, the North Sweeping General under Prime Minister Cao's account, and someone from the other side came out who meant what he said."

Lao Pei yelled across the river: "I don't think I fell for your tricks. Let's admit defeat today. When the whole army fights again tomorrow, it's not yet known who will die."

Cao Hong looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "At the beginning of setting up an ambush here, I never thought that I could defeat one of the five main forces of the Lin Army in a single battle. I originally wanted to swallow half of the Yunzi Battalion, but unexpectedly, your commander is also cautious. Be careful, you did a good job of crossing the river to defend. Although you failed to kill a large number of your army's vital forces, but you were able to capture all the supplies and supplies of Yunziying, it can be regarded as a victory and a good start for the next big battle."

Lao Pei saw that the Cao army on the other side had completely occupied the tentatively built temporary camp, and some soldiers began to pull away carts, trying to break up the defensive circle around the periphery. , the speed is as fast as my Great China Treasure Sichuan Opera Face Changing.

"Everyone listens to the order, all the archers light the fire and release the arrows, freely scatter three bursts, let go!"

All of a sudden, thousands of arrows were fired from Yunziying, and they were all rockets with oilcloth strips tied and burning with raging flames, which made Cao Hong and Yu Jin stunned at the same time.

The two sides faced each other across the river, and were more than ten feet apart. The rain of arrows did have some damage to Cao Jun, but it was definitely not worth the loss. Apart from wasting arrows, it would not cause too much damage to Cao Jun.

Yu Jin frowned and looked at the other side, his face suddenly changed and he shouted to Cao Hong: "No, we have been tricked, Zi Lian retreated quickly and left this temporary camp."

Cao Hong heard

Yu Jin screamed wildly, his heartbeat almost stopped for a moment, and he suddenly reacted.

On the other side of the river, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong lost their presence early on. This is the biggest abnormality on the part of Lin Jun.

The rain of fire arrows fell one after another, and the target was not Cao Jun's soldiers running in a hurry in the temporary camp, but the carts belonging to Lin Jun's luggage.

Cao Hong and Yu Jin's reaction was still a bit slow. This time, Yunziying obviously used their tactics to ambush them, and placed countless fire igniters in front of Cao Jun in a grand manner.

As the fire arrow hit the target, the temporary camp suddenly burst into flames and turned into a red flame hell in the blink of an eye, trapping more than half of the elite Cao army in it.

Not only were flames ignited on the cart, but also flames were ignited from time to time in the places that some Yunziying soldiers had dug on the ground before. Obviously, there were many fire igniters buried underground.

Cao Hong was about to go mad with anger. For a moment, he didn't know how many elites who had followed him for several years were ignited by the fire. With the flames and black smoke all over them, the wolves rushed forward, and the howls were deafeningly resounding through the sky.

At first, Cao Hong tried to get off his horse to help these old subordinates, but he was dragged by Yu Jinsheng and fled desperately to the outside of the temporary camp.

The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and if you don't escape, you really can't get out again.

Regardless of looking at the tragic scene in the camp, Cao Yu and the two came to one of the first two openings around the temporary camp. The place was already crowded with Cao troops trying to escape from the fire. The more you want to escape as quickly as possible, the more crowded you are, the more difficult it is to escape smoothly.

The tongues of fire flying on both sides kept licking this way, as long as someone was burned, a layer of blisters would immediately burn up on his body, screaming and rolling all over the ground, basically losing the possibility of escape.

In a rage, Cao Hong rushed up and kicked some of the happiest guys jumping up and down, and then drew out his waist knife to calm down the scene, and only then did the gap become orderly.

After Cao Jun's soldiers calmed down, they didn't say anything when they saw their two commanders-in-chief, but silently moved out of the way, waiting for Cao Hong and Yu Jin to leave the fire scene first.

Yu Jin sighed silently, and had no time to say more, so he stretched out his hand and pushed Cao Hong.

Now is not the time to show off his feelings, Yu Jin felt that his beard and hair had begun to curl and smoke, and if he baked it, it would really burn on the spot.

Cao Hong stretched out his hand and pushed Yu Jin into the gap, and then he clasped his fists at the soldiers around him: "Brothers, it's all the fault of someone who fell into this trick. You must not kill each other just to escape, follow the order Only in this way can we try our best to save the lives of our brothers. If something unexpected happens, I swear here that I will kill Zhao Yun's dog's head and avenge you all!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Hong strode into the gap, and his back disappeared in the thick black smoke in the blink of an eye.

Chapter 432

Behind Cao Hong, Cao Jun's soldiers once again swarmed up and rushed towards one of the only escape routes.

Although there are no more tragedies of fighting in the same room with fists, kicks, knives and guns, but between life and death, most people will still fight with each other and refuse to give up the only chance of escape.

I don't know how many flammable things Yunziying hid on the cart. The fire on the north bank of the Mishui River burned for more than three hours.

Even though the last flame had been extinguished, thick black smoke was still rising from the fire scene, and sporadic small flames rose from the ashes from time to time.

About two or three miles away from the scene of the fire, Cao Hong and Yu Jin sat down on the ground with ashes on their faces, staring blankly at the temporary camp of the Lin Army on the bank of the Mishui River.

The fire burned too hard. After Cao Jun entered the camp, he focused all his attention on the possible counterattack of the Lin Army on the south bank. He didn't expect it, including the previous move of crossing the river, which was deliberately done by Yunziying. Give them the illusion.

I don't know when Yunziying prepared so many fire starters, it was completely in a posture of burning the company battalion to wipe out Cao's army.

The specific casualties have not been counted yet, but Cao Hong and Yu Jin, who have led the army for many years, can infer from just their eyes that there are less than [-] men and horses under their command, and there are less than two alive standing behind them. Wan, even if the rest of the troops were not buried in the sea of ​​flames, they must have been frightened by Zhao Yun's fire, ran out of the barracks as deserters, and never came back.

"Zilian, we have been defeated in this battle, and we are powerless. I hate that man, Zhao Zilong, who buried countless of our brothers in a big fire. Now is not the time to be sad, so we should leave here as soon as possible, in case Lin Jun takes advantage of the situation and kills me. caused more casualties."

Cao Hong pointed to the temporary ferry that was still smoking in the distance, and said with a wry smile: "Wen Ze, take a look, the situation over there is right in front of you. Could it be that Zhao Zilong has wings and can fly over from the ferry to attack me?" Can't wait?"

"Even if Zhao Zilong is also unable to cross the fire scene, there is no point in staying here, it just adds to the sadness."

"No, Wen Ze, I will wait until the fire is completely extinguished, and find a way to collect the corpses of the brothers who were buried in the flames. If we eat a knife to serve as soldiers, even if we can't return the bones to our hometown, we will build a temporary grave and erect a memorial stone tablet , I still did it for them.”

Having said that, Yu Jin couldn't persuade him anymore. Although he didn't agree with Cao Hong's idea, this move was also a good way to build up morale, so Cao Hong could simply let it go.

No one feels good when the battle is like this.

Because among the two, Cao Hong is the commander-in-chief for the time being, and his status is above the ban, slightly higher than him by half a level.

In this surprise battle, Cao Hong's direct line troops rushed relatively farther ahead, while Yu Jin's troops had other reasons for their intimacy.

Many were assigned to the second attack batch.

It was precisely because of this that seven or eight out of ten of the temporary camp were Cao Hong's direct troops, and there were not too many people belonging to the forbidden department.

After Zhao Yun's fire was brought down, there were still more than 8000 people in Yujin's headquarters, and the troops around Cao Hong were less than [-].

It doesn't matter if Cao Hong is allowed to vent, no matter who suddenly loses more than [-] carefully trained subordinates, he will become a little nervous.
