Chapter 1817 Another attack on the city
?Kong Rong was lying on the back of his horse, just picking up the path and running westward. For a moment, he didn''t know how many feelings emerged in his heart, and it was difficult to describe clearly. The wind whizzed past my ears, and finally a voice sounded in my heart, damn, damn!
?Of course it’s not that Kong Rong himself deserves to die, but that Wang Can deserves to die!
?Although he didn''t get much use from Cao Cao, and he gradually accumulated a lot of resentment in his heart, which led him to conspire with Wang Can, but this does not mean that Kong Rong has the will to burn everything. In Kong Rong''s plan, he should be in a detached state, and then with his long sleeves fluttering in front of His Majesty and the Hussars General, he would laugh three times to express the depression of being under Cao Cao''s rule for so many days...
However, all plans seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes at the beginning of today!
When Kong Rong arrived at the south of the city in the morning, he didn''t know why, he was a little frightened and restless. At first, Kong Rong only thought that something important was about to happen, and he was inevitably a little emotionally unstable. But when the fire broke out in the city and the noise suddenly rose, Kong Rong suddenly felt that something was wrong!
Because according to the original plan, after His Majesty leaves the city, he will launch the attack in the city first. In this way, attention will naturally be attracted to the city, and then under the guise of protecting the emperor, he will invite the gentry disciples of the Wenhui to go together. Disrupting the original guard layout around Liu Xie, in the end either they were confused, or they directly caused chaos to cover Liu Xie''s escape...
However, not only is the time for unrest too early, but His Majesty has not left the city at all!
It must be a bad thing!
After Kong Rong received the news, he knew something was wrong almost immediately. While everyone was attracted by the changes in the city, he quietly rushed to the hidden horse place where he was planning to escape. He got on his horse and ran away!
Damn it, **** it!
??Isn''t it planned to be proud in front of this guy Cao Cao?
Wasn’t it planned to show his meritorious service and hard work in front of the emperor?
Why is it that now I have become like a bereaved dog, running for my life in panic?
Where is Wang Can?
Where is the Hussars General again?
?Where in this world is a certain Kong Rong’s place to settle down?
Did the Cavalry General come or did he not come at all? Could it be said that all of this was a trap set by Wang Can, no, the Cavalry General, who just wanted to disrupt Xu County, but actually had no intention of welcoming the emperor at all? !
?Has someone been deceived?
The guards behind him also looked panicked. These are the only ones who follow me. As for my wife and family, naturally there is no need to say anything more...
Woohoo, these are troubled times...
?Hong Rong tried his best to shrink his figure on horseback. He even felt that the long sleeves of his long robe were in the way, and the wind bulged them, which was very inconvenient. Are you interested in changing to another one? Firstly, you feel that you are pressed for time, and secondly, you have heard that robes that puff up in the wind can protect against arrows?
?Kong Rong had mixed thoughts, and with the support of the desire to escape, he ran along the path, praying in his heart that he would not be overtaken by Cao Cao''s pursuers.
Just after turning a fork in the road, when Kong Rong was riding his horse, he suddenly heard the sound of some horse hooves!
Kong Rong''s face turned pale with fright, and he actually performed a superb skill on horseback that he would never have been able to do before. He hugged the horse''s neck and almost hung sideways on the horse''s back. He turned his head desperately to look at the road, but he couldn''t see it. What smoke and traces of pursuers...
this?
But the sound of horse hooves is still there, and it seems to be getting louder and louder!
Master! Head of the house! In front, in front! 』
The guard beside him pointed forward in panic and shouted.
What? !
Before Kong Rong could react, he heard the sound of arrows whizzing in front of him, and then he fell off his horse amidst the screams of the two guards leading the way!
Kong Rong turned his head suddenly, and the vertebrae in his neck made a rattling sound, and then he suddenly saw a group of people appearing on the road ahead, and they were galloping towards him. The one who hit his eyes first was It''s that tricolor battle flag!
It’s a hussar general’s horse!
Kong Rong was ecstatic, and then he saw these soldiers and horses catching the second wave of arrows with murderous intent. He couldn''t help but immediately turned pale, hurriedly waved his hands, and shouted: "Hold on!" Stay! Someone is not Cao Jun! This is Kong Rong and Kong Wenju! 』
?Wang Can, who came with Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie, heard the sound in the queue and glanced at it, and also shouted: "Be merciful!" It''s Kong Shijun! 』
?Zhu Ling put down the sword in his hand, frowned and shouted, "Get out of the way!" 』
In fact, Zhu Ling didn''t need to give special instructions. Kong Rong and others were already rushing to the roadside. After all, although Kong Rong and others also rode horses, the best horses must be provided to Cao Cao''s horse army first. Secondly, what about Even the best war horses in Yuzhou are still somewhat different from the war horses of Zheng''er Ba Jing Yongliang, just like Moutai''s chariot. Although at a quick glance, the appearance is similar, in fact the gap is still quite big.
The horses of Kong Rong and others did not dare to compete with the horses of Zhu Ling and others. They did not need special control by Kong Rong and others. They avoided the main road early and even screamed when they were pricked by bushes and thorns beside the road. , and dare not block the road...
Seeing Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie whizzing by with his men and horses, Kong Rong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "Wait, wait for someone..." Kong Rong wanted to turn the horse''s head, but the horse under his crotch couldn''t do anything. Unwilling to do so, he squirmed and ran further. Kong Rong was so anxious that he cursed and kicked him.
Being forced into a panic, Kong Rong''s horse suddenly stood up and threw Kong Rong off his horse. Fortunately, it was already spring, and the trees and weeds were growing. In addition, the speed was not fast. Kong Rong only felt pain in his hands and feet after falling, but he did not injure his muscles and bones.
With such a delay, Kong Rong could only see the three-color battle flag galloping away, leaving only the rolling yellow dust in his face, and the unbridled laughter of the passing hussars...
?Kong Rong was in pain, angry, and felt humiliated, but he stood on the ground and panted for a long time, and suddenly he laughed: "When it comes to battle, it''s like hunting!" The hussar soldiers are the most powerful in the world, as expected! 』
?This territory is, after all, the base of Cao''s army, and these hussar soldiers not only showed no signs of nervousness, but even seemed to Kong Rong to be very relaxed. Although it was just a glimpse, the feeling of lifting weight with ease seemed better than what Kong Rong saw with the cavalry commanded by Xia Houyuan.
Xia Houyuan''s cavalry seemed to be well-equipped and marched in a very orderly manner, but it seemed like an article that was too rigid in its pursuit of neat strokes, while the hussar general and horse who had just passed by seemed to have randomly burst out a few sentences. The witticism, although somewhat random, seems more natural and spontaneous.
??This is the hussar who dominates the northern part of Guanzhong?
interesting. Kong Rong suddenly felt that he was no longer so panicked, turned around and shouted: "Where is that **** beast?" Bring it here! Go, keep up, keep up! 』
…（）…This is a dividing line with no emotion…
This is…
?Horse hoofbeats?
Yan Kuang, who was following the traces left by Kong Rong, suddenly felt something was wrong. He couldn''t help reining in his horse and looked left and right.
?The forest birds are frightened!
It seems like yellow dust is rolling in!
Suddenly, from the corner of the woods in the distance, a team of people came galloping towards us!
Before the men and horses could get close, the arrows arrived first!
Yan Kuang subconsciously shrank his head and hid behind the horse''s neck. A strong wind whizzed past his head, and an arrow almost missed his head!
The soldiers of Cao''s army beside Yan Kuang were not so lucky. Yan Kuang saw with his own eyes that although a soldier tried his best to avoid it, an arrow was still stuck in his shoulder, and it still penetrated the leather armor and sank into the flesh and blood!
?There was another person, who didn''t know whether he had no time to dodge or was just stupid for a moment. He was shot squarely in the face by an arrow. Blood sprayed everywhere, and he immediately fell headlong and fell off his horse!
Yan Kuang was shocked. He took a peek and saw a three-color flag sticking out high!
Damn it, it’s actually a hussar!
When did you come?
Where are the guard towers on the road from Heluo to Yuzhou? Why wasn''t there a warning? !
??Are the soldiers in these watchtowers careless and slack? Or have these sentry towers become mere decorations? !
Yan Kuang didn''t know that if Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie hadn''t tried to hide as much as possible, they would hide whenever they could. If they couldn''t hide anymore, they would send people to secretly sneak into the guard tower and then pass through. Then they would come again. Faster.
From Heluo to Yuzhou, Cao Jun was on guard all the way. Could it be that Taishi Ci didn''t do anything at all?
Obviously, Taishi Ci and his subordinate Zhu Ling Zhang Lie had discussed the detection and even the countermeasures along the way countless times on weekdays. This way, they almost used the pattern of the last attack on Yecheng. At a newer and higher level, although there were not many people and horses, they were not discovered until they were near Yangcheng. After they were discovered, it was too late to send a message. Cao Jun could only watch Zhu Ling and others go all the way. Coming to Xu County!
Yan Kuang had only had a few thoughts in his mind when he saw the galloping hussars with their bows drawn again, preparing for the second wave of shots!
Yan Kuang is just a Dianongzhonglang general, and he is even worse than Ren Jun. He has some soldiers with ordinary riding skills. Strictly speaking, they are just a group of people who have just learned how to ride a horse. His proficiency is even lower than that of his boss, let alone being able to shoot with a bow on horseback...
?Therefore, when Yan Kuang faced the surging hussars, he basically didn''t have any desire to resist. He rushed into the diagonal thrust without any pause, and then shouted to turn in.
Even so, Yan Kuang was still unable to escape completely. An arrow shot from nowhere pierced his buttocks, causing Yan Kuang to almost fall off his horse with a cry. He staggered and fled bleeding all the way. As for the other soldiers, they were even more unbearable. Some panicked and even got into a fight with the war horses. The horses hit the tree stumps, the soldiers and horses were thrown into the air, and screams were heard from time to time.
Amidst the chaotic shouts and screams of Cao Jun, the thunderous sound of horse hooves surged up, as if every blow hit the heart of Cao Jun, and finally gathered into one name, "General Hussar, General Hussar" Coming! 』
This guy whose name rises like a legend, who has built his reputation through battle after battle, in just a few years, planted the three-color flag all over the northern border, defeating Xianbei who had troubled the Han Dynasty for decades. The Qiang people obeyed and gathered the cavalry from Xiliang Bingzhou, showing off their dazzling glory. Even though they knew they were opponents, they couldn''t help but admire them secretly in their hearts!
??However, I admire it, but I am still a little timid to confront such people face to face. Anyway, I am just a cavalryman who was transferred from the field soldiers, and there is no advantage in numbers, so I''d better let the bigger one fight! As a result, these Cao troops fled all the way with peace of mind and gave way to the road, allowing Zhu Ling and others to rush all the way to Xu County!
?Over the years, since Dong Zhuo, the Yuzhou people in Yingchuan have once again felt the edge of Yongbin’s cavalry, like a sharp sword reaching their throats!
On the one hand, it was due to the fact that the four gates had been sealed during the original clearing of the city. On the other hand, we also saw the beacon messages stretching from Yangcheng. When Wang Can, Zhu Ling and others arrived at Xu County, Xu County felt like it was coming. The enemy is a formidable enemy, the suspension bridge is hanging high, everyone in Cao''s army looks nervous, their hearts are beating like drums, and they can''t calm down.
Who would have thought that the early warning sentry towers installed from Heluo were actually made of paper. They seemed to be able to shelter from the wind and rain, but when the real wind and rain came, they quickly collapsed. , exposing the weak links.
Cao''s army was extremely short of cavalry.
Although everyone knows that under Cao Sikong, there is a cavalry directly under Cao Cao''s command, known as the "Tiger and Leopard". Some people say that the cavalry under Cao Sikong is one in five hundred, or even one in a thousand, which seems to sound very strange. Powerful, and the threshold is extremely high, not something ordinary people can achieve...
But what about actually?
People who know the actual situation feel helpless and sigh at the ratio of one in five hundred or one in a thousand. Why don''t they want to lower the ratio, even to one in ten or one in five? But if it is really like that The ratio is low, where do the war horses come from? It''s not that they want to raise the standard so high, but because there aren''t that many war horses at all!
The "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" of about three thousand is already the limit. Of course, if all the war horses under the rule were collected by force, it would probably be possible to collect seven or eight thousand, but the question is whether to leave a reserve for replacement? Do you want to keep some stallions for breeding? Should each county in various places leave some space to facilitate emergency transmission of military sentiments and transport of troops? Also, do you want some of the generals and families to fill up the scene? After all, they were able to collect more than 3,000. Cao Cao really tried his best.
The number of war horses is small, and the equipment is not as good as that of humans. Therefore, the defense of the entire Yuzhou can only rely on the key points of each city. Once encountering the general''s command, they can not only rush to attack, but also have sufficient logistical support. The cavalry looked like a short man fighting with a tall man, and then the tall man slapped him on the head. The short man waved his hands and feet, but he couldn''t reach him...
Very early on, Cao Cao realized this problem and was eager to attack Jizhou, also to seize the horse farms that were originally under Yuan Shao and the horse breeding lands in Hebei. Yes, now Cao Cao has basically gained control of Jizhou, but the cavalry does not mean that if they occupy the racecourse today, they will be able to create a large number of cavalry for direct use tomorrow. At this juncture, facing this The rushing hussars and horses made everyone in Xu County feel embarrassed.
Wang Can came out of the crowd and drove straight to the city. His hoarse voice was filled with unusual excitement: "Someone, Wang Can and Wang Zhongxuan of Shanyang, come to greet Your Majesty!" Why don''t you let His Majesty go quickly to avoid a sword-and-gun confrontation? 』
There was silence in Xu County.
Ren Jun glanced at Wang Can at the foot of the city, turned to Xun Yu and said softly: "Your Majesty, this son is already within a stone''s throw. Do you want to give the order to shoot him directly?" 』
