The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 443

"Cao Hong marched cautiously. He didn't give us a feasible opportunity at all, and defeat was difficult." Chen Ziming would not think that Cao Hong was easy to fight, otherwise Cao Hong would be easy to defeat, and he would not be so reused by Cao Cao.

Once they failed to defeat Cao Hong, his ten thousand troops would be dragged to death, and he himself would not be able to escape the fate of defeat.

"Besides, Cao Cao must know our whereabouts. At this time, he may have ordered the guard of Tongguan to mobilize an army to besiege us. Once the army of Yujin arrives, we will be unable to escape with wings, so move forward quickly!"

The current situation is much more severe than what Zhang Liao and others thought. Chen Ziming was destroying Cao Cao's house everywhere, causing such a huge loss to Cao Cao, how could Cao Cao sit idly by.

If Cao Cao was not far away from Chang'an, he might have personally raised troops to kill Chen Ziming. It was a good situation, but because Chen Ziming burned the Shouyang Mountain granary on fire, he had to suspend the attack, which gave the Liangzhou defenders some respite. Chance.

There is no doubt that Cao Cao personally threw an army to attack Liangzhou. It is difficult for Zhao Yun and Tian Feng to block Cao Cao's edge. Although Zhao Yun and Tian Feng are powerful, Cao Cao is not incompetent.

The most important thing is that there are too many talents around Cao Cao, no matter whether they are counselors or fierce generals, no matter in terms of quality or quantity, they can completely overwhelm Zhao Yun and Tian Feng, and Cao Cao has far more soldiers and horses than Zhao Yun, so it will be a matter of time before Zhao Yun is defeated .

Now that Cao Cao has lost the granary in Shouyang Mountain and has no food, Cao Cao can only stand still and wait for the food from Nanyang to arrive before continuing to attack. This is also a turning point in this battle.

Chen Ziming led Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and more than [-] riders past Chang'an City. As Chen Ziming expected, the defenders in Chang'an City had no intention of going out to fight, and let Chen Ziming and others leave.

Because Zhang Fan's task is to guard Chang'an. After all, Chang'an is not only a famous historical capital, but also of great significance to Cao Cao. More importantly, Chang'an has stockpiled a lot of food and grass.

Cao Cao was waiting for the food to save his life. Otherwise, the [-] troops around Cao Cao would starve to death before the food from Nanyang arrived.

After Chen Ziming led his soldiers and horses past, ten thousand elite cavalry followed him. They were Cao Hong's pursuers. They followed behind Chen Ziming tightly.

One day later, Cao Hong led the main force to Chang'an, and half a day later, [-] elite Cao troops from Tongguan also arrived in Chang'an, led by Cao Cao's important ministers Zhong Yao and Cao Xiu.

"Chen Ziming thought of crossing the Weishui River and breaking out of the siege, it is really whimsical."

Cao Hong stared coldly at the map, which marked Chen Ziming's latest movements, and in front of Chen Ziming were Xianyang and Weishui.

"The Xianyang garrison has been ordered to confiscate the boats on the Weishui River, and sent out cavalry to monitor the Weishui River. Once Chen Ziming wants to cross the river, he will send troops to stop him." Mao Jie smiled slightly: "There are ten thousand elite cavalry behind Chen Ziming. If you don't give Chen Ziming a chance to cross the river, Chen Ziming is now a dead end."

"If Chen Ziming breaks through Xianyang and seizes the ships..." Zhong Yao frowned slightly, feeling that Cao Hong and Mao Jie were too optimistic.

"Hehe." Mao Jie said with a smile: "Mr. Yuanchang is at ease, Xianyang is a strong city, and there are [-] defenders, and Chen Ziming's [-] tired soldiers can go down, and the [-] elite cavalry behind Chen Ziming will not let Chen Ziming break through Xianyang. Opportunity."

"Chen Ziming is resourceful and intelligent, and his way of using troops is unconstrained, elusive, and must be guarded against." Zhong Yao spoke very highly of Chen Ziming. After all, Chen Ziming's record is there, and the number one talent in the world is not blown out.

Zhong Yao knows how powerful Cao Cao is, but with Cao Cao and many great talents around Cao Cao, they are still defeated by Chen Ziming many times, Chen Ziming can only see it.

"Chen Ziming will succeed in every plan. This trip to Weishui should have a plan, and I should not be careless." Zhong Yao reminded everyone again that if Chen Ziming escaped, Cao Cao would not let them go easily, and they could not afford to lose him.

"It's not too late, I'll immediately send the army to follow and surround and wipe out Chen Ziming." Cao Hong was deeply distressed towards Chen Ziming, and his fame was also ruined in Chen Ziming's hands.

In the Battle of Shouyang Mountain, Cao Hong was played around by Chen Ziming. Cao Hong, who had never suffered such a big loss, wished to drink Chen Ziming's blood and eat Chen Ziming's flesh.

Immediately headed by Cao Hong, assisted by Zhong Yao and Mao Jie, he led an army of [-] to pursue Chen Ziming. As for Cao Xiu, he stayed in Chang'an, eating a crab and gaining wisdom. Cao Hong didn't want Chen Ziming to make another surprise attack on Chang'an, if he really lost Chang'an , Cao Hong is afraid that he doesn't have to wait for Cao Cao to be convicted, he can just wipe his neck first.

"Prime Minister, Cao Jun's cavalry behind me are getting closer and closer. With this army here, it is really difficult for us to cross the river." Zhang Liao stood beside Chen Ziming on a high slope, looking at the dust rising from the ground in the distance, There is nothing to hide the killing intent in my heart.

On the other side of the high slope, there is a spacious big river, the water in the big river is extremely fast, and the bright river water makes people stop and dare not step into it.This is the Weishui River, and now it has become a natural danger for Chen Ziming to escape.

There are people who can swim across the Weishui by themselves, but definitely not many, and even rarer in Chen Ziming's army. After all, Chen Ziming brought cavalry, not sailors, so they can only cross the Weishui with the help of external forces, boats or raft.

Ordinary rafts are not good at all, and it is not so easy to get them out. Besides, with the interference of Cao Jun, Chen Ziming and others want to build rafts to cross the river with peace of mind.This is why Cao Hong dared to guarantee that Chen Ziming would not be able to escape the Wei River.

"They were kept in the past just to reassure Cao Hong's heart and prevent Cao Hong from jumping over the wall in a hurry. Now that we have reached the Wei River, Cao Hong's army is hundreds of miles away. They are useless and should be eliminated."

Chen Ziming nodded slightly. With [-] cavalry, he really thought that Chen Ziming would have nothing to do with them. The reason why Chen Ziming let the [-] Cao cavalry follow was just to show his weakness and paralyze Cao Hong.

"The order..."

Chen Ziming started to set up his formation, ready to deal with the [-] cavalry who followed behind him so that they could get away.

In the evening, the sky was getting dark, and there was a sound of logging in a lush forest beside the Wei River. The woods were shaking, and as soon as they opened, they knew that there was a big movement in the woods.

"No, they want to cut wood to make a raft to cross the river." Wang Fang, the commander of Cao Jun's [-] cavalry, changed his face drastically. If Chen Ziming escaped under his nose, he would be beheaded by Cao Hong.

"General, the night is dark, Chen Ziming is full of tricks, I'm afraid there will be fraud!" Lieutenant General Li thought that Wang Fang would lead troops to attack, and hurriedly stopped Wang Fang.

"But if Chen Ziming is allowed to escape, I will wait for life and death, and I may tire my mother..." Wang Fang was also afraid of being tricked, but he didn't dare to let Chen Ziming cross the river, he hesitated for a while.
