We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?
Chapter 265 The invincible Huang Xu VS the interesting Cao Zhen
No, I will have to leave after staying here for two or three days at most.
"General, the sentries have scouted the area for ten miles and found no traces of soldiers and horses. There is nothing wrong even near the water source. We should be able to spend more time cultivating here."
Just when he secretly made up his mind, a young captain ran over.
"Um."
Cao Zhen nodded, that's what he said, but the captain's words could not dispel the uneasiness in his heart. At the moment, he was really worried and even afraid.
Suddenly, he suddenly thought of the elusive, ghost-like black knight.
Those guys wander around the battlefield all day long. Their main purpose is to disrupt the battlefield and delay the attack of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, thereby intimidating the troops in the entire theater.
Especially General Xiahou Dun was restrained to the point of being unable to move.
if······
What accident happened to General Xiahou at this time... I'm afraid this war is coming to an end...
"Go down, you must always be vigilant, especially at night. Don't take it lightly. Also, remember to gather all the cavalry near the camp, and tell Cao Chun that since they are jointly stationed, they should keep watch and help each other. "
He had actually said this to Cao Chun upstream a long time ago, so he didn't take it seriously.
"Zidan's temperament is too cautious. We are currently in the rear, some distance away from the front line, and there are 30,000 people here. Who dares to cross the front line quietly and come for a sneak attack?"
Cao Chun, who heard this again, still didn't take it too seriously. He was one of the first people to follow Cao Cao, so how could he not even have this bit of vision?
But unfortunately, what he met was a messenger who was too honest.
"General, that's what I said, but if anything happens, just be afraid of 10,000. The distance between our two battalions is indeed a bit long. If something happens, we will really be unable to support them."
As soon as these words came out, Cao Chun became unhappy.
Damn it, I have been on the battlefield for most of my life. Although I have no meritorious achievements, I have never made a big mistake. How can a little soldier like you make irresponsible remarks?
He frowned slightly, and then asked with a smile: "Oh? From what you said, you should be very good at leading troops?"
"Ah? This... General, I didn't mean this! It's just that... I just feel that the current battle situation is chaotic, so we should be careful-"
"presumptuous!"
Cao Chun stood up suddenly and roared: "You dare to shake the morale of the army before the battle and talk nonsense. Come, drag him down to the general, beat him with twenty army sticks, and then send him back to Zidan!"
"promise!"
The guard holding the hand outside the big tent decisively dragged the person out and executed him.
Twenty military sticks, although not too many, were definitely a lot. The soldiers who delivered the order were beaten and screamed but did not dare to say anything.
He knew very well that talking too much had angered Cao Chun. If it hadn't been for the war, I'm afraid what he got would not be a simple twenty army sticks.
That being said, being beaten for no apparent reason still makes one feel resentful, especially on the way back after being injured.
Full of grievances, he ran to see Cao Zhen as soon as he returned to the camp, and began to describe what happened today in a more elaborate manner.
He just said a few words with good intentions, but he didn't want to offend the other party. Not only was he accused of overstepping his authority, but he was even labeled as having shaken the morale of the military before the war.
After hearing this, Cao Zhen's face turned dark and his heart was full of anger.
He didn't expect that the other party would have such an attitude.
Speaking of Cao Chun, he can be regarded as the number one figure among his uncles. Number one does not have any military merits.
Although his position is slightly higher than his own, this is mostly due to the shadow of his family. Personally, he does not have much prestige in the military.
Especially these young generals, who dared to fight and fight, didn't take him to heart at all.
But who would have thought that the other party would not take him seriously.
The anger in his heart continued, but he also knew that the current frontline war was tight and it was not suitable for internal fighting.
The most critical thing now is to wait for support from the rear and find a reason to stop Xi Yu's army.
But trying to stop Xi Yu's army now is no less than wishful thinking.
perhaps······
The only thing that can make Xi Yu stop... is internal affairs, right?
As the war further intensifies, the people of Qingxu Land will surely find themselves in dire straits.
As long as they cannot bear the trouble caused by the war, in order to maintain the stability of the base camp and the economic prosperity of Qingxu and Qingxu, the drama at that time must have to stop.
And this... takes time...
Cao Zhen thought about it carefully, then slowly exhaled a breath, patted the messenger's shoulder seriously, and said comfortingly: "The general has written this down. Don't worry, I will teach Cao Chunyi together with me someday." High or low.”
"It's just that the war on the front line is in danger right now. We at the rear need to unite and help each other. Since he is unwilling to listen to my general, then we will do the same if we get close to him."
"What? This..."
The messenger was a little surprised, but he quickly realized what was happening. He hurriedly concealed the unhappiness in his eyes, knelt on the ground and said no more words.
To be honest, twenty army sticks were not too difficult for him, an adult man who often traveled in and out of the camp.
Although the pain was excruciating from the shoulder blades down to the buttocks, there was almost no broken skin, and most of it was still red and swollen.
This is why he can endure it at this moment.
Of course, it's more because I'm just a nobody, with a humble position.
After being ordered, he left the tent, while Cao Zhen leaned on the chair and began to think deeply.
It stands to reason that the 30,000-strong army should be headed by himself, but Cao Chun doesn't seem to be an easy person to fight with now.
Now the whole army is equivalent to being divided into two, especially the cavalry. He only has a part of the heavy cavalry in his hands, and basically all the light cavalry is in the hands of Cao Chun.
Now that the other party is not amenable to discipline, this makes it difficult for the cavalry to cooperate with each other, and may easily lead to trouble.
The most important thing is the heavy cavalry in your hand. Once you encounter any sudden incident, whether you are chasing the enemy or being chased by the enemy, it is not an excellent choice.
What the heavy cavalry is best at is charging into the army, disrupting the enemy's formation and killing all directions at the same time. It can be regarded as the most powerful unit in the army.
Looking back on the past, I think the only thing that could have defeated the heavy cavalry was the original Flying Bear.
But right now, these heavy cavalry in my hands... without the assistance of light cavalry, they are somewhat useless. I can't catch up with them, and I can't run away. In such a situation, it may be difficult to achieve anything. It's really a big head.
After thinking for a long time, he shouted outside: "Here comes someone!"
clatter! clatter! clatter!
Soon, a partial general walked in from outside the big tent. This was Gongsun Xun, a general of the Gongsun family.
Since the Gongsun clan dispersed, not many can remain in the army.
"General."
"Go and send three thousand soldiers to guard the depths of the jungle. Always observe the movements of Cao Chun's camp. If there is anything special, report it as soon as possible."
After that, Cao Zhen whispered again: "Remember to bury some men in the valley. If you encounter a small group of enemy troops, leave them alone for now. After they fight with Cao Chun, they will return the same way. What you have to do will be easy." If we can only defend the valley, we can catch the turtle in the jar!"
"The last general takes command!"
"besides!"
Before Gongsun Xun could turn around, Cao Zhen said again: "Place 3,000 more soldiers to station near the camp and pay attention to the surrounding environment at all times!"
"promise!"
Watching Gongsun Xun leave, Cao Zhen's worried heart dropped a little, and he planned to go to the soft couch to rest for a while.
Although there was no war during this period, a vigilant heart never dropped.
But now, he has understood the reason for his uneasiness - Bai Qi!
That's right, it's Bai Qi!
Xi Yu's black knight had already appeared on the battlefield and even restrained Xia Houchun.
But Bai Qi was never seen.
The commander of the Black and White Cavalry is Huang Zhong. He once fought against Xia Houchun on the battlefield. Thinking about it this way, the current general of the White Cavalry should not be him.
In this case, the candidate most likely to guide the White Cavalry in combat is ready to be revealed, and it is the person he has been waiting for - Huang Zhong's son, Huang Xu!
Huang Xu is a famous archer, and his son's archery skills must also be extraordinary.
In this way, the mounted wolf who knocked the person he beat up in Xiapi without any dignity at all must have been Huang Xu.
Thinking of the loss he suffered that time, he became extra cautious.
Since you want to make contributions to the army, you can't tolerate any sloppiness, especially when you have old grudges with the enemy.
Late at night, when Cao Zhen was sleeping soundly, under the cold moonlight, many white battle armors appeared at the end of the horizon.
They rode white horses and came from an unknown plain.
The white battle armor and white horse looked extremely dazzling with the cold brilliance of the moonlight.
Such a presence is supposed to be quite conspicuous, but there are not even a single figure around.
Because the place is remote, not only does it have rivers running through it, but it also has endless rolling mountains, making it impossible for ordinary war horses to traverse.
The most important thing is that the direction they came from was the south, and the south was the hinterland of Jizhou and Cao Pi's base camp!
Who could have imagined that an enemy army would actually walk out of their own base camp?
Speaking of which, I have to praise Huang Xu.
In order to arrive here quietly, he led his white cavalry to travel thousands of miles from Pingyuan County.
Looking at the chaotic yet somewhat orderly enemy camp in the distance, Huang Xu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"I didn't expect this Cao Zhen to be interesting."
He couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the young man who was thrown upside down by his own shot.
"It seems that this kid has already guessed it. He can guess it in such a short period of time and not be on guard. It seems that he has some strength."
Huang Xu led all Qingqi, and there were many soldiers ambushed around the camp below. It was obviously not something Qingqi could do if they wanted to break through such tight defenses in a short period of time.
This alone was enough to make him look at Cao Zhen in a new light.
However, although Huang Xu was only in his twenties, he had been fighting on the battlefield for many years. In terms of experience, Cao Zhen really couldn't compare with him.
The most important thing is that he also has an extremely powerful characteristic, which is not getting lost!
Xu is because his father has carefully taught him how to scout terrain maps since he was a child, so that he can always identify the direction on the battlefield.
When a leading general has such an ability, it is almost equivalent to awakening a talent that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
If this were not the case, no matter how good Huang Xu's skills were, it would be difficult for him to achieve what he has today.
This was what Xi Yu admired most about Huang Xu. He thought to himself at that time that in the entire history, the only one who could do this was probably the champion General Hou Huo Qubing.
How shocking must this battle be to be able to chase the enemy across the desert for 800 miles but never lose the way?
It’s comparable to a humanoid navigation!
When Huang Xu heard the word "navigation" for the first time, he didn't understand what it meant.
But when he understood that it was a kind of ability similar to not getting lost, he valued this more and more.
Just as my adoptive father said, with such skills, even if I am not as heroic as Huo Qubing, I am still similar.
After all, no matter what kind of battlefield, or even any corner of the battlefield, as long as you think about it, you can find anyone on the battlefield to pursue or help.
And this is also the final position Xi Yu gave him - Qi Bing!
An existence without any restrictions on the battlefield, an opportunity that can turn defeat into victory on the battlefield.
For this reason, while Xi Yu worked hard to train his abilities, he also did not forget to cultivate his thinking and even his overall free and easy character.
Since there are great talents, they should not be buried in the long river of history.
It would be wonderful if a character who only existed in a few words in the book could become a dazzling existence in this time and space.
If Huang Xuri can be as famous as Huo Qubing in the future...
hey-hey! It’s exciting just thinking about it!
"Boss, is it difficult? The two camps are quite far apart, and the light and heavy cavalry are unevenly distributed. It would be difficult to eat them all in one go!"
"Indeed!" Huang Xu nodded, and then sneered: "The upper reaches are heavy cavalry, which is not easy to fight, and looking at the heavily guarded appearance, it is obvious that they have been prepared in advance."
"On the other hand, although Qingqi is relatively lazy, it is fast and can run away even if it cannot be beaten."
"But... the war on the front line is quite tight right now, and we haven't made any achievements yet. It would be a good choice if we can use these 30,000 people to establish our authority."
As soon as he finished speaking, No. 1, who was wearing silver armor behind him, took out a map from his arms and said succinctly: "If you want to fight, you have three options. One is to cross the valley, go straight to the giant deer, and hit the enemy's lair. go!"
"As long as we succeed, the defenders of Yecheng will definitely come to support us and surround us. The pressure on the front line can be relieved to a certain extent, but we will definitely be surrounded."
"The second is to go back the same way, and then start from Xuzhou and go straight to Yanzhou. Xuzhou borders Yanzhou. Although Xuchang is no longer the capital, it is Cao Pi's biggest economic pillar after all. Plus we have our insiders inside, so it will be easier. some."
"Currently, there are still thirty insiders staying in Xuchang, and more than a hundred others are following them to Yecheng, preparing to follow Cao Pi's cronies to Chang'an."
Thinking about it this way, the place Cao Pi finally chose to make his capital must be Chang'an!
No. 1 also studied with Xi Yu for a period of time.
To be precise, all the soldiers in the White Cavalry have learned some modern people's thinking from Xi Yu, which also leads them to always come up with some weird methods in battle.
It's as if what he wants now is to quietly cross the war zone and arrive behind the enemy's rear. While silently responding to the frontline troops, he can find the emperor's exact location and rescue him as quickly as possible.
If this plan can succeed, they will have made a great contribution.
It's just that this plan is too difficult to implement, and it will take more than a month to say the least.
Because in this process, they will pass through countless levels. Although the defenders of these levels are nothing to them, the rations are a big problem.
Where the food and grass are located, the guards are also the strictest.
It is obviously difficult to steal food and grass quietly on the road and go straight to Chang'an.
"As for the third item, it is to destroy the 30,000 troops below..."
"Now that I've encountered it, I'll naturally choose the third option!"
Before Number 1 could finish speaking, Huang Xu showed his big white teeth and said with a smile: "The first and second items are not advisable. Going too far alone is not a good thing for us."
"Furthermore, judging from my adoptive father's character, if we are trapped in the enemy camp, he will come to rescue us at all costs. We are here only to perform meritorious service, not to ask for trouble."
"Also, look at the formations of the two armies below. Cao Zhen is obviously a wise man. If we can kill him, we will definitely cause some trouble to Cao Pi's army."
"Speaking of which, I had dealings with Cao Zhen in the early years. At that time, this boy couldn't even take a sword from me. I wonder if he has made any progress now?"
"but······"
As he spoke, Huang Xu tightened his lips and said coldly: "Even if he makes further progress, I will definitely kill him with one sword!"
"Everyone get ready, get ready to fight!"
"promise!"
After everyone responded in a low voice, they shot arrows in an orderly manner.
call! call! call!
call out! call out! call out!
Amidst the howling of the strong wind, countless arrows shot straight over the camp below with the oil cans.
clang! clang! clang!
As the oil tank landed, the ground instantly burst into flames.
The smell of stuffy oil instantly spread throughout the camp.
After a while, Cao Chun's roaring roar echoed throughout the camp, and all the light and heavy riders woke up in an instant.
However, when they rushed out of the tent, they only saw an endless sea of fire.
To be precise, everyone should be surrounded by a sea of fire that filled the sky.
For the entire twenty miles of the camp, the undulating flames were like a crawling fire dragon, waiting to nibble at the prey it had been watching for a long time.
The baggage, food and grass, soldiers and horses were all devoured by it.
"Where are the patrolling soldiers? What do they do for food? A bunch of bastards, enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The furious Cao Chun stood in the middle of the camp and kept roaring. He also wanted to quickly command the army to put out the fire, but he could not contain the fear in the center, and his brain went blank.
"Damn it, what on earth did the patrolling guards do? The enemy even reached Dayingkou and didn't know how to respond?"
