Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 33 Destroy the Cao Amo Clan
In May of the first year of Chuping, Luo Zheng defeated [-] Youyan cavalry in Qiao County.

Sun Jian led [-] infantry and retreated to Chen County in a panic, no longer able to take the initiative to attack.

At this time, the news that Qiao County was attacked and destroyed finally reached Hulao Pass.

Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou, heard the news, vomited a mouthful of old blood on the spot, and fainted in a fit of rage.

When the military doctor arrived, he found that Kong Ni was out of breath and was so angry that he died.

All the princes looked at me, and all looked at each other.

Only Yuan Shu's eyes showed joy, he immediately found an excuse to leave the account, and confessed to his confidant to send a letter to Yuzhou as soon as possible.

Liu Dai, Inspector of Yanzhou, Tao Qian, Inspector of Xuzhou, Zhang Miao, Prefect of Chenliu, Bao Xin, Prefect of Jibei, Qiao Mao, Prefect of Dongjun, Zhang Chao, Prefect of Guangling, and other princes feared that the Xiliang cavalry would enter Xu and Yanzhou. Burning, killing and looting all have the intention of retreating.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others hurriedly persuaded them to stop.

If the army retreats at this time, the allied forces of the princes may become a joke. The initiator Cao Cao and the leader Yuan Shao will also become the laughing stock of the world. How can they just retreat like this? Anyway, the Xiliang army burned, killed and looted their territory. .

Yuzhou, Qiao County.

Luo Zheng led his army to pursue the Youzhou cavalry, and they did not return until evening.

Most of the [-] Youzhou cavalry were killed in battle, only a few hundred cavalry fled in all directions, and there were no prisoners.

This battle not only defeated [-] Youzhou cavalry, but also captured more than [-] war horses, which can be described as a fruitful harvest.

When the army returned to Qiao County, Luo Zheng immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters.

In the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, all the Xiliang Military Academy were all red and excited.

This time he defeated Sun Jian's army and broke through three thousand Youyan cavalry, which can be described as a complete victory.

When you return to Luoyang, you won't be able to escape with a great deal of military merit.

Luo Zheng sat on the main seat with a golden knife and asked: "How about the casualties of the armored serial cavalry?"

A small school replied: "More than forty horses have been broken."

Luo Zheng frowned for a moment, "The casualties are so large."

Li Meng said loudly: "General, the power of this iron-clad chained horse to break through the formation is unparalleled in the world, but the horses are locked with iron chains. If one horse stumbles, the rest of the horses will suffer. If there are too many horses stumbled, the The chain of horses is in danger."

Luo Zheng also realized this problem, nodded, "Well, I will talk about this later, can the armor be taken back?"

The little school quickly replied: "Back to the general, they have all been taken back."

"That's good!"

Luo Zheng asked again, "Where is Sun Jian's army now?"

Captain Hou Chi replied: "It has been returned to Chen County."

Li Meng excitedly said: "General, why don't our army take advantage of the victory to pursue and defeat Sun Jian's miscellaneous army in one fell swoop?"

Luo Zheng waved his hand, "Although our army defeated the [-] Youzhou cavalry this time, the confidant's confidant, but the delay in Yuzhou is not short. Without the [-] Youzhou cavalry, Sun Jian is nothing to worry about. Now the Kwantung rebels It is very urgent to attack Hulao Pass, our army needs to move to the other side as soon as possible, kill Xu, Yan and other places, and force the Guandong princes to retreat as soon as possible."

All the military academies said in unison: "I wish to obey the general's order."

Luo Zheng let out a 'hmm', and his eyes were murderous again, and he said in a fierce voice: "However, before leaving Yuzhou, this general still has one very important thing to do, and that is to flatten Cao Cao's hometown."

"Please order the general!"

All the military academies were all gearing up, with excitement in their eyes.

Luo Zheng turned his head and asked the scout captain, "What's happening in Cao's Wubao recently?"

The captain of the scout replied: "General, there is no movement in Cao's Wubao."

Luo Zheng asked again, "Has anyone ever left?"

The captain of the scout said: "No one has ever left, but our army's scout got a message from the nearby people. There are still dozens of young rangers in the Cao clan who are missing. They have never returned to Wubao."

Luo Zheng frowned for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you ever found out where these Cao family children are now?"

The captain of the scout said: "The villain has ordered people to inquire, but no news has been sent back so far."

Luo Zheng is even more displeased. If these Cao family remnants are not eradicated, it will be a serious trouble in the future.However, the army stayed in Yuzhou for too long, and it is really inappropriate to delay any longer. After thinking for a while, he said decisively: "Forget it, the Cao family's children can't find it in a hurry. Send my military order, and the army will rush to Baligou Pavilion , Stepping down Cao's Wubao, leaving no humans or animals behind."

"As ordered."

All the military academies hurriedly stood up and responded loudly.

Baligou Pavilion is located [-] miles east of Qiao County.

The old house of the Cao family, one of the largest rich and prosperous families in Qiao County, is in Baligou.The Cao family was a generation of officials, with a big business and a very prosperous population. They built a diwubao covering an area of ​​more than [-] mu, and there was a artificially excavated river ditch beside it.

Cao's children are good rangers, and they are well-known in the surrounding area.

After the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, Cao Ren gathered more than a thousand youths to travel around the Suishui area to fight bandits and protect the clan and property safety. Ambush private soldiers and expand strength.

When Cao Cao called on the heroes of the world to fight against Dong, Cao Ren led more than a thousand rangers and children from the clan to join him.

However, ever since the Xiliang army arrived in Qiao County, Cao's Wubao closed its gates tightly, and no one from the clan was allowed to go out.

However, you can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day.

On this day, the Xiliang cavalry came to kill and surrounded Caojiabao.

There were crowds of people on the wall of Wubao, and the members of the Cao clan looked around, with shock and anxiety written all over their faces.

When Cao Cao raised his army, many young disciples from his family joined the army, and they followed Cao Cao to attack Dong Zhuo.

Most of the rest in Wubao are women, children, old and weak, and there are not many strong and strong men.

If you encounter a small group of rogue village bandits, you can get there by relying on Wubao.

But now they are facing seven thousand sturdy Xiliang iron cavalry, how can they resist this.

Just when everyone in Wubao was panicking, amidst the desolate and passionate ox horns, Luo Zheng gave an order, and seven thousand Xiliang cavalry immediately launched an overwhelming attack on the low Cao's Wubao.

Xu Chu was wearing iron armor and rushed to the gate of Wubao in the first place.

Dozens of soldiers from Xiliang pushed a chariot forward and slammed into the gate of Wubao aggressively.

After hitting it three times in a row, it still didn't break open.

"Get out of the way, come here."

With a roar, Xu Chu turned over and jumped off his horse, ran over quickly, pulled the chariot twenty steps away, shouted loudly, and together with more than 30 Xiliang soldiers, pushed the chariot away and ran like flying, directly Hit the gate of the dock.

"boom!"

Amidst the loud noise, the thick wooden gate of Wubao was directly knocked open.

Amidst the sawdust flying, there were screams and howls one after another in the dock.

The children of the Cao family standing behind the wooden door were hit with bloody heads, and several of them had their heads smashed directly. Red and white splashed all over the broken gate of the Fortress. Many members of the Cao clan turned pale with fright.

The rush car blocked under the Wubao gate was quickly pulled away.

"kill."

Luo Zheng took the lead to kill, raised his knife and led, and took the lead in entering Wubao.

Xu Chu took the reins of the war horse handed over by the soldiers, quickly got on the horse's back, and followed closely behind.

Iron hoofs are like thunder, horses neigh and people boil.

Under the iron hooves of Xiliang's iron cavalry, the magnificent Wubao screamed helplessly.

In Wubao, screams and shouts of killing rang out, shattering the clear sky.

Luo Zheng beheaded a panicked Cao family disciple with a knife, and charged forward with his horse.

The Xiliang cavalry rolled in behind and chased after them, killing the people in Diwupu and turning their backs on their backs. The Cao's children who were guarding the door fled back screaming, only hating their parents for losing two legs, and the heart of resistance has long been disintegrated.

"Pass my military order to arrest Cao Cao's family."

Luo Zheng killed another Cao's disciple before reining in his horse and shouting loudly.

"The general has an order to arrest Cao Cao's family."

The seven thousand Xiliang iron cavalry shouted in unison, and the sound shook the whole field, and the people of the Cao clan were panicked as if a catastrophe was imminent.

Although there are nearly a thousand members of the Cao clan in Wubao, they are as weak as sheep under the butcher's knives of Xiliang cavalry.

The battle ended quickly. In addition to those who resisted and were killed, hundreds of members of the Cao clan were captured alive and detained. They were finally driven into a wide courtyard like sheep. There were old people, women, and children.

Everyone was terrified, weeping bitterly, trembling.

In the spacious hall, Luo Zheng sat on the table, and dozens of soldiers stood behind him holding knives.

"Where is Cao Cao's family?"

Luo Zheng shouted, and his wolf-like eyes fell outside.

A small school rushed in and reported: "General, Cao Cao's family has never been found."

Luo Zheng immediately showed displeasure, "What's going on, could it be that Cao Cao's family ran away early?"

The little school replied: "The villain has already asked, Cao Cao's family is not in Qiao County."

Luo Zheng paused and said: "It's really disappointing, this time it's cheaper than Cao A, but someone escaped."

A small school showed shame and said, "One person ran away."

Luo Zheng frowned, "What, there are still people who escaped from the siege of the [-] army?"

A small school next to him explained: "General, that kid's martial arts skills are extremely extraordinary. Although the brothers tried their best to besiege him, he still killed a few brothers by that kid. He broke through the siege and ran away. Qiu Dayan was also stabbed, and almost died." It's killing me."

Luo Zheng glanced at the small school before, and sure enough, there was still blood oozing from the shoulder blades, his brows stretched out, and he waved: "Run away, run away, go and deal with the injury, don't waste your arm."

Qiu's big eyes showed gratitude, and he retreated.

A small school asked again, "General, how to deal with these remnants of the Cao family?"

Luo Zheng's eyes fell on those terrified Cao clansmen, and immediately showed a fierce look, and said fiercely: "Kill, don't leave any chickens and dogs behind. Especially the males, no one can be let go. As for the women, forget it stop."

"As ordered."

Xiaoxiao also let out a smirk, sonorously obeyed, and turned around to go.

Soon, hundreds of ferocious Xiliang soldiers surrounded him, smirking and brandishing their butcher knives.

Amidst the miserable howling and cursing, each member of the Cao clan fell into a pool of blood, dying with grievance.

As for the women, they were roughly pulled aside by Xiliang soldiers, but they were not killed.

"Don't, don't kill my child."

A woman hugged a five or six-year-old boy tightly in her arms, blocked the Xiliang soldiers' knives with her body, and yelled sadly, "Please, don't kill my child, I will kill you!" I know where Cao Cao's family is."

"Bitch, you're going to have to die."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, someone in the crowd immediately shouted.
