A Will Eternal Chapter 062
Liang Zhuer was fighting with all his heart at this time. He raised his head, looked in front and behind, and felt happy in his heart. Behind Cao's army were people's carriages, oxcarts, and baggage teams. When these people saw the people in front of them and started to kill, who was not afraid? He immediately covered his head with his hands. Flee to the roadside and hide.
The remaining frightened herds of oxen and horses dragged the vehicles around, bumping into each other. Some overturned and landed at the bottom of ditches, while others were squeezed by the roadside. It was just a mess, with a bunch of people crying and howling, and horses neighing. Liang Zhuer, the Jingzhou cavalry, was left alone. Can Liang Zhu'er be unhappy when Cao's soldiers are fighting with no rear troops to come to reinforce them? The more they kill, the easier it becomes.
At this time, Cao's army was like a long snake that was cut off by the Jingzhou cavalry led by Liu Cong. The snake's tail wanted to circle it for support, but it could not be circled. The head of the snake wanted to turn around and bite it. There was no way out, so the 40,000 Cao soldiers were cut off by 200 Jingzhou elite soldiers. They were killed in a panic and the army was completely defeated.
At this time, Liu Cong really felt a rare pleasure. He estimated that he had almost killed and should stop. He stopped the sword and looked around. He saw that a large number of Cao soldiers in front had surrounded him and the sky gradually darkened. He smiled and said, "It's time to stop." Then he ordered: "Bing the gong."
Behind him, Ma Gan'er took out a gong from the side of the saddle. A burst of gong sound sounded, and Liu Cong shouted: "Liang Zhu'er, lead the people to withdraw from the battlefield" [
Liang Zhuer shouted happily: "Here", turned the horse's head and commanded: "Follow me"
He took the lead in withdrawing from the battlefield and rushed to the roadside to stop and command the cavalry to retreat to the opposite valley. When Liu Cong withdrew, Liang Zhuer followed closely and escorted Liu Cong to retreat to the valley he had chosen in advance.
[When Cao Ren led the forward cavalry to move over to pursue the pursuit, they saw Liu Cong and his companions walking in the dark night.
Two hundred men and horses disappeared into this dark valley. To catch them was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
Cao Ren looked at the hazy wilderness in front of him. He was angry, anxious and resentful, but he had nowhere to vent his thoughts. He stopped for a long time, then coughed and turned the horse's head back while directing the men and horses to cross the hill to the front. While setting up camp, I called Man Chong over to discuss countermeasures.
The two of them stood on the side of the road and Cao Ren spoke: "Man Boningen, I really feel useless.
I have never encountered such a situation in the many years of leading troops to fight. Two hundred cavalry were like a group of jackals, circling and attacking.
Take one bite and run away. Take one bite and run away. What kind of tactic is this?
We march and they make a surprise attack;
We fight and they run away;
Let’s accommodate them or make a sneak attack;
If we guard against them in front, we will sneak attack on the rear;
Smash the door to guard the back and then they will sneak attack the front;
Let's guard against them from the front and back, so we can sneak attack him in the middle. This battle can't be fought, and the march can't be carried out.
It’s because of these two hundred Jingzhou soldiers, Boning, why don’t you tell us what we should do?”
Haha, Liu Cong had been in action for two days. With only two hundred cavalry, he harassed Cao Ren until he had no choice but to cry. At this time, he shamelessly asked Man Chong for advice.
Man Cong looked around and saw that his team was like a dead snake that had been broken and smashed. The waist and tail of the snake were lying on the mountain road. Looking at the sky, it was already dusk and there was no good solution at this time. After speaking out, he suggested: "General, we have never encountered such a tactic before. The boy Liu Cong really succeeded."
Let’s see, it’s getting late and we can’t think of a good solution. Let’s arrange accommodation first and then discuss countermeasures in the evening, okay?”
At this time, Cao Ren seemed to be a lost gambler who had lost all his gambling money. Hearing Man Chong's suggestion, he had no choice but to agree and then said: "Well, you go to the front and direct them to stay on the river beach to boil water and cook. I will direct them from here." Transport the grain and grass there”[
When Cao Ren said this, he looked up and looked at the swaying grain, grass, cattle, horses and vehicles all over the ground. Hearing the wails of the wounded soldiers, he got angry and ordered on his forehead: "Search everywhere immediately to find the escaped coachman."
Seeing the soldiers patting their horses and disappearing into the dusk, Cao Ren said with hatred: "Kill Nana on the spot when he sees the peasants who run away and don't come back to drive the carriage."
After a while, the soldiers recovered some of the cart drivers, and then started the vehicles to drive the livestock and pull the carts on the road.
However, this mountain road is narrow and rugged. Hundreds of ox carts and carriages are swaying here and there. Some have fallen to the bottom of ditches, some are leaning on the side of the road, some have escaped, and some have broken shafts. I want to adjust this chaotic situation in a short time. Is it easy?
It wasn't until the night started to fade that we finally managed to get hundreds of cattle carts onto the road. Most of the remaining vehicles are still being repaired here.
Upon seeing this, Cao Ren took a deep breath and ordered his two lieutenants: "You two and two thousand people will stay here and take care of the food and grass." After saying that, he got up and personally escorted the vehicle on the road to the camp in front of the mountain.
More than 40,000 Cao soldiers are waiting in the front camp for these grains to cook.
Liu Cong was also waiting for dinner, but Liang Zhuer said that after finishing the dry food, he also had pickles and the mules and horses had been fed well in two days. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight tomorrow.
At this point, Liang Zhuer looked at Liu Cong with a sad face and asked for instructions: "What should I do?"
Liu Cong, who couldn't go back, thought: "The things are still done. Either they are not done yet, or they have enough fun in the fighting. Since Cao Ren is being teased and complaining, I have to take care of it."
Thinking of this, Liu Cong smiled and asked everyone: "If you like eating meat and drinking alcohol, tell me if you like it."
Of course, they all liked Liu Cong's prompting and all the generals started to swallow their saliva. Liu Cong said: "I was so focused on fighting in the afternoon that I forgot to prepare dry food. Hahahaha. Cao Ren has a lot of good stuff over there. Just go and get it. Grain, rice, dry food, vegetables and fruits. Well, there are also Let’s go get some pork and we have to have dinner too.”
Liang Zhuer said: "Second Master and Second Master, Cao Bing must have stepped up his vigilance at this time and it is dark."
Liu Cong didn't answer and got up and ordered: "Liang Zhu'er, listen to me. I'm leading 20 men and horses in front to kill you. I'm leading all the horses in the back, shouting and carrying grain and grass. When the transportation is enough, we will withdraw for food and accommodation." He got up, got on his horse and walked ahead.
