Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 268: Cao Hong was hacked to death among thousands of troops, and the might of a tiger appear

When he first entered Jiangling to help Zhuge Qiao, Wang Ping was just an illiterate general.

Following Zhuge Qiao, he defended Jiangling, defended Jieting, attacked Chencang, fought at Longyou, Dingliangzhou, Ping'an and Dingping, and captured Chang'an. In every battle, he would be the first to fall into battle and achieve great success.

As a surrendered general, in less than four years he was granted the title of General of the Kou Kou and Marquis of Ting, and was in charge of five Wudang Feijun.

Among the ten unworthy generals recruited by Zhuge Qiao, Wang Ping is by far the general with the most military exploits, the greatest changes, and the strongest ability.

And the one with the strongest luck.

Although somewhat metaphysical, luck on the battlefield is mysterious.

Those with strong luck can come back alive to receive military exploits even if they have to be trapped first in every battle.

Zhuge Qiao also considered Wang Ping as the unworthy commander of the flying army.

Wudang Feijun has to fight a tough battle, and it is not easy to train. Those with bad luck are likely to die early.

The gate of the village is opened and the antlers are opened.

Five flying armies formed up and advanced towards Cao Hong's camp.

The chilling air is as cold as frost.

Looking at the Wudang Feijun advancing slowly, Cao Hong in the camp couldn't help but frown.

"Looking at his flag, he is a famous Wudang flying army among Han dogs."

"Such an elite, instead of going to the north to block Cao Zhen's attack on the stronghold, they actually advanced towards me?"

"I was underestimated too!"

Cao Hong felt a little more annoyed.

Under normal circumstances, Wudang Feijun should be used as sharp knives to pierce Cao Zhen's military formation and mainly repel Cao Zhen, instead of making a special trip to the west to fight Cao Hong's partial army.

But now, Wudang Feijun attacks Cao Hong first, which is equivalent to treating Cao Hong as a chicken and a dog. They can kill Cao Hong first and then repel Cao Zhen.

Cao Hong was naturally not happy to be looked down upon by Wudang Feijun.

"Open the village gate!"

Cao Hong didn't want to defend anymore.

As a brave general in Cao Cao's era, Cao Hong could not accept being so despised by Wudang Feijun.

rear.

Zhuge Qiao looked at the open gate of the Wei camp and the flag of "Wei Hussars General Cao Hong" fluttering in the wind, with a smile that seemed like a successful calculation in his eyes.

"Sure enough, it's Cao Hong."

"He was loyal enough to Cao Cao, but it was a pity that he acted unruly and lawless, and even Cao Pi, the pseudo-Emperor of Wei, looked down upon him."

"Cao Zhen asked Cao Hong to set up a separate camp. He was probably worried that Cao Hong would break the rules of the army, so he simply let him serve as a partial army for surprise attacks."

Squinting at Cao Hong's general flag, Zhuge Qiao quickly had a plan.

After a while, Guan Yu was invited.

"Bosong, do you need my help?"

Although he is over sixty years old and has half-white hair and beard, Guan Yu has a steady walk and a loud and powerful voice.

For powerful generals such as Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun, even if they are sixty years old, their lower limit is still beyond the reach of ordinary generals.

Zhuge Qiao never doubted Guan Yu's bravery.

This is a real enemy of ten thousand people!
Zhuge Qiao saluted and pointed at Cao Hong, who was fighting against the Wudang Feijun: "General, what do you think of Cao Hong's troops?"

Guan Yu squinted his eyes and couldn't help but sneer: "It's Cao Hong who is leading the army? I thought he was a junior of the Xiahou family of the Cao family."

"It has been more than ten years, and Cao Hong's level of commanding troops has still not improved at all."

"It seems that the sergeants are fierce and good at fighting, but in reality they are just a bunch of chickens and dogs!"

Now in Guan Yu's eyes, Cao Ren, the general of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, has made progress.

The rest of the people were left to eat and die.

Naturally, he looked down upon Cao Hong.

Zhuge Qiao asked again: "What does the general think of Cao Hong's bravery?"

Guan Yu's eyes became even more contemptuous: "You are a traitor. Is it possible that Bosong intends to kill the general?"

Seeing Guan Yu's contempt for Cao Hong, Zhuge Qiao couldn't help but laugh and said: "Cao Zhen regards Cao Hong as a partial army and has set up a large number of banners in the camp. I guess he wants to use Cao Hong as a surprise soldier."

"I built the wall at the north gate. In addition to resisting Cao Zhen, I also wanted to take the opportunity to remove Cao Hong's camp."

"Therefore, I ordered Wang Ping to lead Wudang Feijun to break the stronghold."

"I thought that Cao Hong would hold on to the stronghold and not get out, but I never thought that this thief would be so frivolous and want to compete with the unworthy flying army."

"If the general can kill this thief, Cao Zhen will be terrified."

Guan Yu laughed: "Huang Hansheng can kill Xia Houyuan with his old body, and I can kill Cao Hong with my old body!"

"Bosong wait a moment and see how I take the head of this stupid thief!"

After a while.

Guan Yu led his cavalry out of the stronghold and detoured back to the woods to the south to wait for the opportunity.

Cao Hong failed to notice and only commanded his troops to fight with the Wudang Fei army.

North of the camp.

Cao Zhen sent his army to attack forcefully. Under the constraints of military orders, Wei soldiers advanced one after another.

Ladders, rush cars, and thunder cars were advanced one after another.

On the wall of the stronghold, the Han soldiers were also brave and fearless, attacking the Wei soldiers with arrows and stones like rain.

The battlefield is ruthless.

Soldiers who were unlucky were either struck by arrows and fell to the ground, or were stoned to death.

The pungent smell of blood filled the air, and both the Han soldiers and the Wei soldiers had scarlet eyes: all they could see was the enemy.

"So tenacious!"

Cao Zhen looked at the Han soldiers taking advantage of the favorable location of the village wall, and firmly held the hilt of his sword.

In this round of strong attack, the Wei soldiers did not get any benefits, but left a lot of corpses and broken arms under the stronghold wall.

In anger, the scout came to report: "General, Han dogs are attacking the western stronghold, and the hussar general is leaving the stronghold to meet the enemy."

Cao Zhen was surprised: "Who gave Cao Hong the military order to go out to meet the enemy?"

The scout lowered his head, not daring to face Cao Zhen's anger.

Liu Ye reminded: "My army is attacking the stronghold in the north, but Zhuge Qiao still has the leisure to attack the western stronghold. There must be deceit in it."

"If the hussar general makes a mistake, the morale of our army will definitely be dampened. We must take precautions."

Cao Zhen was already angry because of the unfavorable attack on the stronghold, and he was also deeply dissatisfied with Cao Hong for going out to fight without authorization.

At this moment, hearing Liu Ye's reminder, he became even more angry.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Cao Zhen ordered coldly: "Send our military order quickly and order General Cao Hong to lead his troops back to the stronghold immediately."

"Without my military order, you are not allowed to leave the stronghold to fight against Han dogs. If you violate the military order, I will kill you."

If the attack on the stronghold went smoothly, Cao Zhen would have turned a blind eye. Now that the attack on the stronghold failed, Cao Zhen could not tolerate Cao Hong's lawlessness.

The messenger accepted the order and rode his horse to the west village.

however.

When Cao Hong heard Cao Zhen's military order, not only did he have no idea of ​​​​retreating, but he aroused his rebellious heart: "Cao Zhen, son, you have to call me uncle according to your seniority, how can you be so rude!"

"If I hadn't held back Han Gou's useless flying army here, would he be able to attack the stronghold in the north with peace of mind?"

"You don't recognize my good intentions, but instead use military orders to suppress me."

"Dare you kill me?"

"Just him?"

"Go back and tell Cao Zhen: Either he replaces someone else to guard the west stronghold, or he doesn't teach me how to defend the stronghold."

The ordering soldiers also did not dare to face Cao Hong's ferocity and left in embarrassment.

Knowing that Cao Hong was so arrogant, Cao Zhen couldn't help but hold down the hilt of his sword: "Liu Shizhong, with His Majesty's orders, you can enter the Xizhai to take over Cao Hong's defense."

"I'll ask Guanqiu Xing and Guanqiu Jie to help you. If Cao Hong dares to disobey, take him directly!"

Liu Ye had long wanted to command the army.

Just limited by my identity, I have never been able to realize this long-cherished wish.

Now that Cao Zhen's military order has been issued, Liu Ye will naturally not refuse: "Don't worry, General, I will go to Xizhai immediately."

at this time.

Cao Hong of Xizhai was so angry because of Cao Zhen's military orders that he handed over the command to his deputy general and personally led the cavalry to fight against the Wudang Feijun.

Cao Hong is brave.

The bodyguard cavalry around him are also fierce warriors.

They entered from the northwest corner, forced their way through the formation of the Wudang Feijun, and then fought out from the southwest corner.

"It's nothing more than a flying army!"

"It's ridiculous that Cao Pi and Meng Da Cao Zhang actually let Wudang Feijun become famous in Yongliang."

Cao Hong laughed, and led the cavalry in from the southwest corner, once again interspersed in the formation of Wudang Feijun, and then came out from the southwest corner.

When the Wei infantry saw Cao Hong rushing left and right in the Han army formation, they felt as if they were in a deserted place, and their morale was greatly boosted.

After being pierced twice by Cao Hong, Wang Ping did not show any panic, and commanded the troops to line up again with sharp eyes.

Cao Hong's laughter gradually stagnated: "I penetrated him twice, and the formation was still able to close."

The normal infantry formation was interrupted twice by Cao Hong. Even if it did not collapse, the formation would be scattered.

Few generals are as calm as Wang Ping.

As if he had been slapped by Wang Ping, Cao Hong felt a little hot on his face and became even more angry inside.

Cao Hong once again led his cavalry through the formation.

It is said that there are only three things that can happen.

The first two interludes did surprise Wang Ping.

Seeing Cao Hong's third attack, Wang Ping directly issued a military order to "change formations."

The originally tight military formation actually gave way to Cao Hong!
It seemed as if Cao Hong was not crossing the formation, but taking the initiative to make way for Cao Hong.

When Cao Hong led the cavalry in, the formation became dense again.

next moment.

Zhuge Liannu appears.

Cao Hong's personal cavalry instantly became a living target!
puff!puff!puff!
The sharp and dense crossbow arrows penetrated both the war horse and the armor!

Waves of wails and cries of pain came and went.

Cao Hong was so frightened that he didn't dare to shoot Xiuqi, who was drawing his bow from left to right. He just leaned forward and charged forward.

Rushing left and right, Cao Hong rushed out of the formation, with only dozens of riders around him to keep up.

Yu Qi shouted in the formation, "General, have you abandoned me!"

Cao Hong gritted his teeth and was about to turn around and charge in, but there were shouts of death and the sound of horse hooves behind him.

Cao Hong took a closer look and saw hundreds of riders rushing towards them like lightning.

Judging from its banner, it is "Guan Yu, General of the Han Dynasty"!
Cao Hong took a breath and his face changed drastically: "How could Guan Yu appear here!"

now.

Cao Hong's situation became embarrassing.

Most of the bodyguard cavalry are still in the Wudang Feijun formation, Cao Hong has to turn around and rescue them!

Guan Yu led his cavalry to attack him again. If he rescued his own bodyguards, Cao Hong would not be able to go back!
Cao Hong is too arrogant and conceited!
Although the brave generals and soldiers can be used as sharp knives to destroy the enemy's military formation on the battlefield, the score depends on what level of generals and soldiers and what level of opponents.

Not everyone can be like Zhang Liao in Xiaoyaojin, "Liao Fu broke through the encirclement and pulled out the remaining troops. All the powerful men and horses were invincible, and no one dared to take the lead."

Not everyone can be like Zhao Yun in the battle at the Han River, "The general was wounded, but Yun regained his strength and galloped his horse back to meet him."

Obviously.

Although Cao Hong has brave men and powerful soldiers, he lacks understanding of Wudang Feijun and also lacks judgment on the battlefield situation.

Not only did he want to cross it a third time, but he also didn't realize that Guan Yu was hiding in the forest.

Guan Yu has a strong sense of smell on the battlefield.

When Cao Hong launched his third thrust, Guan Yu ordered his cavalry to prepare for a sudden advance.

Wang Ping has always been tenacious and cautious, and Guan Yu was amazed by Wang Ping's ability to command troops.

As expected by Guan Yu, Cao Hong intervened for the third time, and most of the cavalry were surrounded by Wudang Feijun.

Even if there are still Wei infantry fighting outside, it does not affect Wang Ping's use of military formations to surround Cao Hong's cavalry.

Or rather. Wang Ping trusted Zhuge Qiao very much.

On the surface, Zhuge Qiao asked the Wudang Feijun to destroy the camp; in fact, Zhuge Qiao had many back-ups to cooperate with the Wudang Feijun.

therefore.

Although Wang Ping didn't know how to kill Cao Hong, he could create opportunities for Zhuge Qiao.

The tacit understanding and trust between each other caused Cao Hong's interleaving tactics to make a fatal mistake!

at the moment.

There is no room for Cao Hong to think too much!

If Guan Yu's advance could not be blocked, not only would the cavalrymen trapped in the formation be unable to be saved, but Cao Hong himself would have to die!

And on the opposite side.

Cao Hong's lieutenant also realized the danger and hurriedly divided his troops to help Cao Hong.

Wang Ping's reaction was faster than Cao Hong's lieutenant!
The military order to charge and kill was issued.

The basic unit of the Wudang Flying Army is the first sergeant corps, the third corps is the small triangle, and the ninth corps is the large triangle.

They dispersed and rushed towards the Wei soldiers.

The moment he saw Guan Yu, Wang Ping gave up besieging Cao Hong's cavalry and instead engaged in a melee with Cao Hong's infantry!
Soldiers against soldiers, against generals.

Infantry against infantry, cavalry against cavalry.

Just leave Cao Hong and his cavalry to Guan Yu!
Wang Ping's task is to block Cao Hong's lieutenant.

When Cao Hong saw that the guards' cavalry had escaped, he made an immediate decision to join the guards' cavalry.

however.

Guan Yu is faster!

"Cao Hong!"

Like a thunderbolt from the clear sky, Guan Yu's roar appeared behind Cao Hong's head.

"So fast!"

Cao Hong, who was caught off guard, subconsciously turned sideways to avoid Guan Yu's steel spear.

He heard a sharp pain on his shoulder, and Cao Hong was knocked off his horse by Guan Yu!

"General!"

Cao Hong's personal guards were all frightened and rushed forward to save Cao Hong.

But he saw Guan Yu dismounting from his horse, holding a shield in his left hand, and lifting a heavy ring-shou sword in his right hand.

With a few moves, he avoided Cao Hong's personal cavalry.

Although the war horse is fast, it is very difficult to move in a small area.

Cao Hong's personal guards never expected that Guan Yu would abandon his horse, and all of them failed.

The cavalry behind Guan Yu all jumped up to stop Cao Hong's personal guards at this moment.

Cao Hong was so frightened that he ran away.

However, due to the trauma on his shoulder and the sprained foot after being knocked off his horse, Cao Hong could not outrun Guan Yu.

Guan Yu caught up with him and killed Cao Hong without saying a harsh word.

Poor Cao Hong, like Xia Houyuan, he relied on his bravery, was arrogant and underestimated the enemy, and was hacked to death by Guan Yu in the rebel army!
After hacking Cao Hong to death, Guan Yu cut off Cao Hong's head with another knife.

The whistle sounded, and Guan Yu's horse jumped up and landed next to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu got on his horse, and a nearby horseman threw the steel spear in his hand at Guan Yu: "General, take the spear."

The whole process was coordinated and seemed to be completed in one go.

Guan Yu abandoned his sword and held his spear, and easily blocked the thrust of Cao Hong's bodyguard.

After challenging Cao Hong's bodyguard, Guan Yu took Cao Hong's head and shouted:

"Cao Hong is dead!"

"Who dares to fight again!"

Seeing Cao Hong's head, part of Cao Hong's bodyguards froze on the spot, part of them fled in fear, and the remaining part rushed towards Guan Yu with red eyes.

"Loyalty is commendable."

Although Guan Yu praised the personal guards who avenged Cao Hong, the steel gun in his hand was strengthened.

It truly demonstrates what it means to be "brave enough for all" and "to be like entering a place where there is no one"!
Lieutenant General Cao Hong was shocked to hear that Cao Hong had been beheaded.

Just when the lieutenant was at a loss, a rapid golden sound suddenly sounded in the camp.

It was Liu Ye who came in a hurry.

Liu Ye didn't know that Cao Hong had been beheaded. He only saw that the Wei soldiers were defeated, so he ordered Guanqiu Jie to pay gold.

Hear the sound of gold.

Cao Hong's lieutenant finally came to his senses and rushed to the camp.

Looking at the disorganized troops with no regard for their generals and their generals, and then at the incompetent flying army chasing behind them, Liu Ye suddenly felt something bad and ordered: "Guanqiu Xing, quickly lead the archers to shoot at the base of the formation. Anyone who dares to attack the village gate will be shot!"

"On the Guanqiu Festival, quickly lead the sergeants to separate four passages to the left and right of the stronghold gate and lead the troops into the stronghold!"

After shooting a dozen generals who were running at the front, the disorganized defeated soldiers gradually woke up and entered the camp along the four newly separated passages.

Wang Ping saw the archers at the gate of the stronghold ready to attack, so he stopped all the troops and formed a formation at the gate of the stronghold.

"So cautious!"

Liu Ye stared at Wang Ping's general flag with an even more solemn expression.

After ordering the archers to stand ready, Liu Ye asked about Cao Hong's whereabouts.

When they heard that Cao Hong was beheaded by Guan Yu, the faces of Liu Ye and Guan Qiuxing changed greatly.

"not good!"

"Wanqiu Xing, prepare your troops for war immediately!"

"Wanqiujie, please quickly ask the general for help."

Liu Ye's voice became sharp, and he was obviously very anxious.

The voice just fell.

People reported that Han soldiers were advancing towards the camp.

Liu Ye did not dare to delay any longer.

Cao Hong was beheaded, and the morale of the camp was shattered. If they could not block this wave of attacks from the Han soldiers, the western camp would be lost, and the defeated troops would also attack the army to the north.

There was no time to mourn the death of Cao Hong. The next person to appear was Liu Ye, the queen of Emperor Guangwu, a favorite of Cao Pi and a traitor to the Han Dynasty.

Although his moral character is lacking, Liu Ye still has some abilities.

With Liu Ye leading the army and Guan Qiuxing helping him, and Cao Zhen still attacking the camp from the north, the Wei soldiers in the camp did not flee because of Cao Hong's death in battle.

Before reaching a desperate situation, morale will not collapse.

the other side.

Guan Yu returned to the stronghold and threw Cao Hong's head and flag to Zhuge Qiao: "Bosong, Cao Hong's head is here."

Zhuge Qiao glanced at it and stopped looking at it. He raised his hands and said in respect: "The general is as brave as before. He is really the wall of my great man."

"Fine and meat have been prepared in the camp. The general and all the martyrs are invited to drink and eat."

Guan Yu laughed: "Bosong understands me!"

Guan Yu did not stop at the camp and directly led the cavalry inside.

Yao Zhen, Liu Shen and other generals had already prepared wine and food rewards.

Zhuge Qiao looked at Cao Hong's head, sneered, and asked the sergeant to send Cao Hong's head and general's flag to the north gate of the camp.

At the north gate of the camp, the general flags of Xu Huang, Xia Houshang, Cao Yan, and Li Zhen were already hung, and now Cao Hong's head and general flags were hung.

It coincides with Zhuge Qiao's previous mockery of Cao Xiu, "he wanted to use the five-element flag to summon the souls and pay homage to the fallen Han soldiers."

As soon as Cao Hong's head and general's flag were hung up, Cao Xiu and Xiahou Ba who were attacking the stronghold instantly stayed where they were.

"Am I right? That's the flag of General Hussar?" Cao Xiu was stunned and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Xiahou Ba was also horrified: "I saw it too, it's the general's flag and his head!"

More and more Wei soldiers became frightened and couldn't help but retreat.

Cao Zhen, who was in the Chinese army, didn't know what was going on. He quickly asked, "What's going on? Why are you so afraid of fighting?"

A small colonel rode forward, then quickly rode back, falling to the ground in horror: "Come on, General, Cavalry General, was, was beheaded!"

what?
Cao Zhen was shocked and his eyes widened as well.

Subconsciously.

Cao Zhen thought of Liu Ye's reminder: My army is all attacking the stronghold in the north, but Zhuge Qiao still has the leisure to attack the western stronghold. There must be deceit in it.

"Come here, go to Xizhai to investigate quickly and ask Liu Ye to come see me!" Cao Zhen was furious.

Cao Hong was given military orders to hold on to the camp, but Cao Hong didn't listen!

Before the soldiers could leave, Guanqiu Jie came in a hurry and said concisely: "General, Xizhai is asking for help!"

Guanqiu Festival did not say that Cao Hong had been beheaded, for fear of causing confusion among the troops, so he only said "Xizhai asks for help", but he did not know that Cao Hong's head and general's flag were hung outside the north gate of the Han army camp.

Cao Zhen's face turned livid instantly: "Instruct Cao Xiu and Xiahou Ba to go to the Xizhai immediately to help Liu Ye defend the village!"

Looking at the Han soldiers' camp, Cao Zhen issued the military order with difficulty: "Ming Jin, withdraw the troops!"

Cao Hong was defeated on the first day of attacking the stronghold, which was difficult for Cao Zhen to accept.

Although Cao Hong's death was a good thing for Cao Pi, letting Cao Hong die in this way also questioned Cao Zhen's ability to lead the army.

The imperial edict was taken out, and Cao Hong could still be executed.

It didn't matter whether Cao Hong died of illness or was dealt with by Cao Zhen's military law, but he died on the battlefield!
Morale, which was already low, became even lower because Cao Hong was beheaded.

If morale is low, how can we drive the soldiers to attack the stronghold?
Thinking of this, Cao Zhen hated Cao Hong deeply.

Since you don't want to listen to my military orders, why don't you imitate Xiahou Mao and pretend to be sick to go to Wancheng?

Xiahou Mao pretended to be ill but could not hide it from Cao Zhen, and Cao Zhen did not try to be serious about it.

Pretending to be sick is better than disobeying military orders.

Because Cao Hong was killed in battle, Cao Zhen had to stop attacking the stronghold and could only find another way.

In the Han barracks, there were cheers one after another.

Although Zhuge Qiao commanded the troops well, the Han soldiers were worried in their hearts.

Worried that Guan Yu was old and powerful, he asked Zhuge Qiao to lead the army.

Today, Guan Yu's formation killed Cao Hong, and the worries in the hearts of all the soldiers completely disappeared.

Guan Yu's majesty is still the same, and it is easy to kill a pseudo-Wei general like Cao Hong.

This made the morale of the Han soldiers even stronger.

The next few days.

Cao Zhen did not attack the stronghold again.

The use of poison failed, and the strong attack also failed.

Cao Zhen racked his brains and didn't know how to use his troops.

The Han soldiers also had the advantage of boats and wanted to take a detour to attack the rear. The Han soldiers took the boats down the river, which was much easier than the Wei soldiers.

Zhuge Qiao gave up his plan to attack Cao Zhen's west stronghold and once again stood firm in the stronghold.

The five-color flag flying at the entrance of the camp is also a mockery of Cao Zhen.

Stayed together for more than ten days.

The weather in Wancheng changed from sunny to rainy.

The patter of rain falls, and the summer river breeze also feels chilly on people?

"It's raining!"

Zhuge Qiao looked at the sky, not worried but happy.

"The way of humanity is: the weather does not allow Zhou Lang to do as he pleases, and the bronze bird spring locks Er Qiao deeply."

"I won't favor you now, Cao Pi."

Zhuge Qiao whispered for a moment.

After a while, Zhuge Qiao's eyes became sharper: "Quickly summon the scouts in the army to inquire in the direction of Luoyang."

Rainy and sunny.

Cao Zhen looked at the dark clouds in the sky and his face became even more ugly: "It has been raining for many days, why doesn't it stop?"
