Zhuge was reborn, killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 195 Cao Hong’s end (fifth update)

The battlefield in Runan County is in full swing, and the progress at this time has completely exceeded Zhuge Liang's prediction.

It can even be said that in Runan County today, even if Zhuge Liang comes, he will have a headache. Wei Yan and Guan Yu, who are supposed to meet, are already far apart.

The people of Runan who were supposed to be "cheated" into Jiangxia by him have slowly entered the new era under Guan Yu's protection, and have even allowed Guan Yu to start the second selection training.
But Zhuge Liang will know these things soon, because Guan Yu's envoy has entered Jiangxia County.

Whether it is the war in Jiangxia County or Runan County, it will soon spread to everyone's ears, and by then I am afraid it will be a complete bustle.

Before the excitement, the battle in Jiangxia County had already reached its end.

The troops and horses under Cao Hong's command have been completely destroyed, and what was once his greatest advantage has become his disadvantage. The price of having more soldiers and generals is a huge loss of food and grass.

That was all before, but now an ambush caused them to lose all their food and supplies, and the subsequent supplies of food and grass were also directly intercepted by Zhuge Liang.

Cao Jun could only try his best to survive. From the beginning, Cao Hong killed almost all the horses, leaving only Xu Huang and Li Tong to keep their horses.

But this time they were not the cavalry going first, and there were not many horses under their command. After the horses and the dry food they carried with them were eaten up, they could only look at the robes.
No, it should be said to be the former Paoze!
In just two days, they endured constant torture, not only physically, but also mentally.

Not just because of their food, but also for the future they never knew existed.

"We are all like this, what do you think of General Le Jin?"

This sentence has been said in private by countless people in these short two days, and it has even been said more than once.

Even though Cao Hong repeatedly prohibited it, it still couldn't prevent the soldiers from discussing in private.

In the end, under Xu Huang's suggestion, the idea was simply given up and they were allowed to discuss it, but it would bring out greater benefits.

For example, five guans per person. Of course, there are also things like promotion, land rewards, etc.
Under the pressure of the three generals, the war finally persisted until now, but it also reached the extreme.

Just when Cao Hong himself was about to give up, good luck finally arrived. The rushing river slowly receded, although the muddy land under the hills made it impossible for them to break through quickly.

But it also made Liu Beijun's soldiers face the problem of difficulty in attacking, giving Cao Hong a rare breather.

Immediately afterwards, the second good news also appeared.

"Tian Yu rescued Wen Qian, the two have arrived"

Cao Hong looked at the reporting scouts who rushed in with a look of surprise on his face. Xu Huang and Li Tong on the side were also full of surprise.

The morale of his subordinates was immediately shaken!

The sudden appearance of Tian Yu and Le Jin also greatly affected Fu Kuang and other generals and their soldiers, especially their morale.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Na Lejin immediately rushed in, and Cao Hong also seized the opportunity to break out directly. With the combined efforts of the two parties, he actually broke out.

"Follow me immediately!"

"If Cao Hong escapes, how will we explain it to the military advisor? Hurry, rush forward!"

Fu Kuang, Liu Min and others immediately followed and chased away, but on this muddy road, the fight between the two sides was not only embarrassing but also very ineffective.

After fighting for half a day, Fu Kuang and others almost lost Cao Hong.
"Commander, Cao Hong has escaped." Just in front of where Cao Hong and others were escaping, Zhuge Liang had been waiting for a long time, and Kou Feng came to report that they already knew what was going on here.

"Well, it seems that we will meet Cao Zilian again soon." Kong Ming played with a feather fan in his hand. Although it was not a goose feather, it made him feel much more comfortable.

It's more comfortable to have a fan in your hand
"Then Cao Hong certainly didn't expect that the military advisor had been waiting for him for a long time." Kou Feng also had a smile on his face at this time, but he still said hesitantly after looking at Kong Ming's slightly waving fan.

"Commander, are you very hot in this weather?"

"." Zhuge Liang looked helplessly at Kou Feng, and then continued to speak softly, "It's useless to chase blindly, and Cao Jun's generals are too brave!

Especially Le Jin, he was a famous fighting general under Cao Jun. Tian Yu and Xu Huang were both famous generals at one time!

As for Li Tong, he has been a famous warrior in Jianghuai in recent years, and Cao Hong is also famous for his bravery. Under such circumstances, it is still difficult for Liang to keep them all.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to wait here and wait until they flee here in embarrassment, then directly ambush them and give them some surprises. "

When Kong Ming spoke, he looked behind him again. The hundreds of repeating crossbows were already ready.

The continuous crossbow is still the most useful when ambushing and defending the city.
Laojun Mountain in Jiangxia, it is said that Laojun made elixirs here, so it is named Laojun Mountain.
At the foot of Laojun Mountain, Cao Hong and others, who had finally escaped and barely escaped the pursuers from behind, finally stopped.

Li Tong was responsible for breaking out of the encirclement, Le Jin was responsible for breaking up the rear, while Tian Yu and Xu Huang followed Cao Hong and led the troops.
"General, it's not time to rest yet. The pursuers from behind may appear at any time. Moreover, Zhuge Kongming has not shown up since we broke through from Xinyang.

I will never worry"

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Cao Hong gasped, holding the long knife in his hand to make himself a little more relaxed. Looking at the same exhausted soldiers, he rarely showed a smile.

"You see, Laojun Mountain is the last dangerous place, but even so it is not dangerous.

As long as we cross here, it will be a smooth road. Even if Zhuge Kongming comes, what will happen?
You can rest assured that the country will make you happy.”

"Can be here"

"Cao has already asked people to inquire about it, and Navenda is in charge of exploring the way ahead, so there will definitely be no questions."

Before Cao Hong finished speaking, he was interrupted again by the scout returning from the front.

In the shocked eyes of Cao Hong and others, a soldier who was covered in blood and furious finally came to his side and said a word.

"There is an ambush ahead. Arrows are like rain. General Li Tong died in battle..."

Just a single sentence like this, exhausted all his strength.

Looking at the soldiers who fell in front of him without making a sound, and then looking at the unknown front, Cao Hong felt a panic and powerlessness in his heart.

"Wen Da has always been brave. Why didn't he even give the warning in time?"

"Zhuge Kongming, what a god and ghost?"

　Explain Laojun Mountain
　　This is not the Laojun Mountain that the Japanese artillery shells did not explode. This is the Laojun Mountain in Hunan, with an altitude of about [-] meters in Hong'an County.

　　Among the Jiangxia County of the Three Kingdoms, it was the only place in the north of Jiangxia that could be called dangerous.
