Chapter 628
Zhencang was defeated all the way, gathered the remnants and retreated to Jizhou Prefecture.

When they went out to fight, there were soldiers like a forest, how high-spirited they were, they never thought that they would be defeated before fighting Cao Su for a full month, the so-called "hundred thousand people" who went out to fight, now only a few thousand escaped their lives.

It was too tragic, the casualties were too tragic.

He looked around, and couldn't help feeling sorry for him, with infinite sadness emerging.

"Father, father!"

A young general at the back of the side passage, leading a group of soldiers with crooked helmets and armor, chased up in disgrace.

Zhen Cang saw that it was still his most outstanding son, Zhen Meng. Zhen Meng's body was covered with blood at this time, and the blood on the corner of his mouth was clearly injured.

"Father, second brother and fourth brother all died in battle."

Zhen Meng was weeping, and the news that came sent Zhen Cang five thunderbolts, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

He grabbed Zhen Meng: "What?"

At this time, in the dotted Cao camp outside the city, the "solitary army went deep" Cao Jun quickly adjusted and rested, and the soldiers seized the time to recover their physical strength.

Zhen Cang's spirits lifted immediately, his face was radiant again, and even the pain of losing his son seemed to be relieved a bit.

Many soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared to leave with the help of Zhen's father and son.

He reminded Zhencang: "Old General, Cao Su won the previous battle of Jiehe by relying on tricks for a while, so don't be careless."

Zhen Meng can be considered a warrior on the battlefield, crying loudly at this moment.

The rivers and lakes are always at the forefront of all kinds of news. The battle between General Zhenbei and Jizhou is a major event related to the country and the country. Many people in the rivers and lakes regard themselves as "great heroes", and it is their duty to pay more attention and spread more.

"Forcing them all to Jizhou Mansion is for once and for all."

At this time, there was a vibration on the ground.

Cao Su raised the big tent, and all the generals on the left and right walked in.

Cao Su deliberately questioned the two of them, but both of them were distressed, and they didn't even have an answer in their hearts.

With the spread of this news, there are still a large number of Zhenbei troops stationed in the northern city of Jizhou.

"Master Pu!"

Fu looked at the remnant soldiers and the defeated soldiers around him again, and couldn't help feeling sad, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh.

And Zhen Cang's idea coincides with that of Cao Su before, and he is also going to fight against people tomorrow.

"We only have two days' rations. If Jizhou avoids fighting, how can such a high wall be broken?"

Pu Chengye was moved and said: "This battle is not the fault of the general. Besides, the walls of my Jizhou mansion are high and thick, and there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers guarding the city. The general lured Cao Su's army to go deep. This is our opportunity, and it is Jizhou's opportunity. The old general must fight Cheer up and fight Cao Bandit again!"

Cao Su couldn't help laughing. Ma Chao and Shi Yong were the two young generals he valued the most, and their personalities were completely different.

Zhen Cang's face suddenly changed, he didn't expect to escape dozens of miles in one breath, and the Zhenbei Army was in ambush?
This time he just ordered to retreat, the morale of the whole army was completely lost, and there was no desire to fight again.

Not to mention that the other party is waiting for work, even if the other party has only 100 people, they can only escape.

Ma Chao felt that his mind was running fast, but he still felt helpless in the face of such a situation, but he knew in his heart that General Zhenbei must have already had the answer, otherwise he would not have sat in the tent so indifferently.

When Pu Chengye, the lord of Jizhou Prefecture, came to the city, he saw the disgraced and scarred father and son of the Zhen family.

Suddenly, countless arrows flew out from the jungle on both sides of the official road.

But at this moment, from the side of the official road on both sides, there was a burst of triumphant laughter: "Old thief Zhencang, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Although it is relatively close from Jiehe to Jizhou Mansion, there is still a distance of three to four hundred miles. With such a long distance, there is no need to worry about supplies?Don't you want food and grass?Just to kill Zhen Cang?

However, this "anytime" is easy to say, as if it can be done in a short time, but Ma Chao has also been stuck by this bottleneck for several years, and is now in his 20s.

Pu Chengye doesn't know the basics of the military formation, but he still has the eyes of a scholar, and his analysis of a few words is powerful, and there is some truth to it.

"Father is so loyal, he can't wait to defeat the Zhenbei army immediately, so he lost the opportunity on the battlefield." Zhen Meng at the side suppressed his grief and comforted his father in a loud voice.

So this is the safest way, and then Cao Su will personally chase and kill him to ensure nothing goes wrong.

Two days later, news about the defeat of Zhencang on the Jizhou front began to spread in northern Jizhou.

Although Jizhou was defeated, Zhenbei Army wanted to conquer Jizhou in a single battle. Zhen Cang thought it would not be so simple.

However, the so-called "Zhenbei" is extremely rare.

"General, Zhencang has already entered the city, what should we do next?"

Also consider how to solve the battle of Jizhou once and for all.

He quickly called everyone to retreat, and the Jizhou army ran towards the south without looking back.

Jizhou Lianjia is located hundreds of miles away, with fertile land and abundant food and grass. Over the past few years, a lot of heritage has been accumulated. Although it is not enough in the short term to gather another army that can directly compete with the Zhenbei Army, the continuous development As a precaution, relying on Zhucheng to form a corner, it should also be able to slow down the pace of some Zhenbei troops.

Now the Jizhou army no longer expects to defeat Cao Su, as long as they hold Cao Su down, they will win.

It never occurred to the Jizhou government that one day they would be attacked by soldiers.

The pressure brought by the soldiers approaching the city was enormous, and the whole city was terrified from top to bottom.

Zhen Cang was even more flustered, but fortunately, the sky had gradually darkened at this time, as long as it was dark!

He said in a muffled voice: "Master Pu, don't worry, I have a lot of Taoist friends from the Three Mountains and Five Mountains. I was set up by Cao Su for a while before, and my formation was broken by the Taoism of Jiuling Mountain. Tomorrow I will go around the Three Mountains and Five Mountains to find some Taoists." If you help out with fists, this Cao Su will surely return without success!"

Zhen Cang shook his head sadly when he heard the words, feeling better at last.

Everything is safe and sound, except for changing the flag. Cao Jun did not do anything else, the original city is still the original city.

Zhen Cang was run over by Cao Su all the way to Jizhou Mansion like a dog, but in Pu Chengye's mouth, it became "intentional temptation".

After World War I, the Zhen family had a severe downsizing, and the old Zhencang even sent a white-haired man to a black-haired man. He couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Zhang Ke followed Cao Su's order and only shot arrows in secret.

Gong Wu is Cao Su's current general of the Chinese Army Guard. Although he is a prairie citizen, he is also good at martial arts. He followed Cao Su for a long time and gradually learned some strategies.

Cao Su is this "world famous general", known as the most outstanding commander of the younger generation of the empire. Since he led the army alone, he has never failed.

Now that the two have led the army alone, and they have grown a little older, they began to think more independently.

Thinking of this, Zhen Cang ordered the remaining defeated generals to leave this place as soon as possible and return to the border of Jizhou Prefecture first.

Zhen Cang didn't see how many Zhenbei troops were ambushing in the jungle.

Zhen Cang analyzed for a while, and concluded that Cao Su was careless, rushing over rashly was obviously giving away his head.

After Cao Su finished speaking, before Zhang Ke could react, he led the cavalry to chase after him rumblingly, aiming directly at Jizhou Mansion.

Zhen Cang snorted coldly: "Although Cao's army is brave, but there are only tens of thousands of cavalry and no siege equipment, how can they capture our Jizhou Prefecture?"

It is also the Zhenbei Army!
"Hugh left Zhencang, whoever kills Zhencang will suffer a thousand taels of silver and be promoted to the third rank!"

This made Cao Su somewhat disappointed, but he noticed that Gongwu on the side was "hesitant to speak but stopped".

On the battlefield, it is not blindly strong or blindly cautious, the right way is the combination of Qi and Zheng.

Cao Jun is powerful, if Pu Chengye is really defeated, Jizhou will be what Cao Su says in the future.

"kill!!"

Cao Su's voice was transmitted far away, and with his inner strength, even the soldiers of the Jizhou Army could hear it clearly.

"Yes, this Cao Su is too arrogant."

I only know that the arrows shot by the Zhenbei Army are continuous, wave after wave.

The soldiers who followed him all the way here fell down one after another like harvesting wheat.

"withdraw!"

"Cao Jun" and "Zhenbei Army" are two titles. People in the Jianghu prefer to use "Cao Jun" to describe the army from the north.

First of all, it was the Jianghu people who spread the news.

Zhen Cang faces Pu Chengye shamelessly, tears pouring down his face.

Ma Chao and Shi Yong are now each leading an army, among which Ma Chao has reached the peak of the fourth rank, and may break through to the top rank "at any time".

Since Cao Su has the final say, shouldn't they express their attitude to Cao Su earlier?
These thoughts lingered in the hearts of many city lords, until news came from the south that Cao Su had led his army to the city of Jizhou Prefecture, and had a face-to-face dialogue with Pu Chengye.
-
In Jizhou Prefecture, Cao Su drove straight in all the way.

But he has never fought against the top famous generals in this world.

"As long as our Jizhou government is united as one, a mere Cao Su will be broken!"

When Guangzhou and Bingzhou respond, I am not afraid that the Zhenbei Army will not retreat.

This is why sometimes the battlefield will form a situation where fewer people chase more people to fight. The difference in morale forms the basic battlefield game rules in the era of cold weapons.

"If I want to destroy people, I must first inflate them. At this moment, he has completely become a lone army. The old man estimates that the dry food he brought will not exceed two days."

Cao Su won for a while. In the battle of Jiehe, almost the entire Jizhou army was wiped out. The [-] army was wiped out, and it would be difficult for Jizhou to recover in three to five years.

"The Jizhou government was aggressive before, but we beat them to the ground and ran away."

There is obviously a large group of cavalry troops approaching from the rear.

Outside Jizhou Mansion, Cao Su set up camp, as if he was going to capture Jizhou Mansion.

Just like the Jizhou army went to attack the rogues, there is a gap between the two sides.

Not long after, a large group of cavalry really came here, and Cao Su, who smelled the blood on the ground, hovered on his horse. In the jungle on both sides, a small group of archers led by Zhang Ke was lying in ambush.

At this moment, he only knew that Cao Su was chasing after him like a mad dog, all the way to the territory of Jizhou Prefecture.

"Boom--"

"Although that is the case, Cao thief is full of tricks, so we must guard against it."

Even the positions of many city lords are still stable. Cao Su is at war with the Jizhou government, and has no intention of meeting the chief executives of these places.

Zhen Cang is going crazy, how can he fight like this?

In the cavalry, Ma Chao and Shi Yong are the left and right commanders respectively, and they can also be regarded as the left and right vanguards. In addition, there is Gong Wu, the tiger general of the Chinese army who is inseparable from Cao Su.

It not only gave the soldiers confidence, but also saved Pu Chengye's face.

Pu Chengye is a literati, and literati behave more decently. Although Zhen Cang is a defeated general, but now in Jizhou Mansion, he can only rely on Zhen Cang.

"Nowadays our army does not have one out of ten, and our combat power is damaged. It is unrealistic to compete with the Zhenbei Army in the Jiehe area. For the current move, we can only retreat to Jizhou Prefecture first, and then slowly plan."

Ma Chao is more reckless and brave, with a strong personality, while Shi Yong seems to be rough but has subtlety, and his style of acting is more cautious.

"Is Cao Su crazy? Don't worry about supplies at all?"

This one was killed too badly. With the help of monks, the Zhenbei Army showed its fangs like a war machine, and ruthlessly harvested the lives of the Jizhou Army. Compared with the brave army that fought all the way from south to north, and then from north to south, the Suppressing North Army was still a little weaker. Whether it was individual combat power or overall combat power, it was obviously weaker than the Suppressing North Army.

Zhen Cang felt remorseful, if he had known this before, he should not have attacked so easily with the whole army. If he had left a few hands to respond at this time, he would not have reached this miserable situation.

Zhen Cang has been in Jizhou for many years, and he can be regarded as a famous general.

Zhen Cang's expression changed slightly after being reminded by Pu Chengye, but Pu Chengye had already given him a step down just now, so it's hard for him to say anything more now.

"General, Zhen Cang has escaped."

Rumbling--

It's better to retreat than to lose your life in the north.

Many cities in the northern part of Jizhou did not have much resistance. The generals of the Zhenbei Army walked around with the generals of the Zhenbei Army and successfully changed the flags of these cities. Every city had a "Cao" flag on the top of the city. .

So Pu Chengye quickly supported Zhen Cang: "Old General."

Cao Su was also worried that once Zhang Ke was exposed, he would only have the combat power of the fourth rank. If Zhencang captured the thief first and killed the king, it would be a big loss.

"I didn't expect that Jiuling Mountain would also step into the worldly battle. In this troubled world, ascetics, like warriors, began to enter the mortal world. I underestimated the Zhenbei Army, thinking that there were only warriors in the Zhenbei Army. I didn't expect Cao Su to be able to move. So many reinforcements come."

The city lords themselves felt a little panicked.

When the soldiers heard about the retreat, they finally felt relieved.

Pu Chengye frowned, and the literati looked outside the wall. The Zhenbei army was well-trained, and the cavalry was good at field combat. The remaining elite soldiers in Jizhou were fine in defending the city.

"I didn't expect Master Pu to see the old man's intention."

Cao Su nodded and ordered: "Zhang Ke, collect the corpses here, and return to Jiehe camp!"

Cao Su looked at Gong Wu and said calmly, "Speak up if you have something to say."

Gong Wu immediately blushed, cupped his hands and said, "If you want to capture Jizhou Mansion, you don't need to break the high wall."

As soon as this remark came out, Ma Chao and Shi Yong frowned immediately, and they thought to themselves what kind of bird is this Gongwu, can a normal person say such a thing?How to break a city without breaking a wall?

It's just nonsense.
