Chapter 52 Forced March

The Yellow Turbans were defeated, and the rebels fled in all directions. Cao Ren was stunned for a moment but did not give the order to pursue, because the defeated soldiers of the Yellow Turbans ran in all directions with a roar, and there was no sign of the flag, and he did not know who was the general.

, there was no way to pursue them, so Cao Ren had no choice but to lead a tiger and leopard horse around in a circle, and charged back several larger groups of defeated soldiers.

This time, Cao Ren was surprised to find that the Yellow Turban Thief was no longer as crazy as when he first encountered him. It seemed that this appearance was more in line with his initial expectations.

"What's going on?"

Although I was a little puzzled, now was not the time to think about these things. Spread out the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. At this time, there was no need to rely on the formation to ensure the safety of everyone. After spreading out, they could be dispatched faster.

Before Sakon could escape, the rebels were killed - Cao Ren had received the order when they came, and none of these rebels needed to be left behind.

At that time, Cao Ren was still a little uneasy and felt that Cao Cao's order was a bit too much. However, Cao Cao revealed in a subtle way that this was His Majesty's intention.

"Your Majesty is taking this opportunity to let the princes of the world understand something..."

Cao Ren is not very clear about these higher-level matters, and even if he has some understanding, he will not think deeply about it. After all, it is not something that he can participate in now.

Watching the soldiers scatter in pursuit of the defeated troops and then clean up the battlefield, Cao Ren rode his horse back and forth on the battlefield, constantly observing the corpses of these yellow turban thieves, wanting to see what these thieves had.

specific.

But the more I looked at it, the more confused I became, because the corpses lying on the ground were no different from ordinary people - even compared to some ordinary soldiers, these yellow scarf soldiers had thinner clothes, worse weapons, were thinner, and their faces were fuller.

The food is obviously not that good in terms of food supply.

"Soldiers like this are not even as good as the soldiers from Yongzhou..."

But it was such a soldier who frantically fought a head-to-head battle with his Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Although the final result was without any suspense that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry won a complete victory, but if Cao Ren hadn't used all his methods, plus

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are indeed much more powerful than these thieves, and the outcome of this battle may be reversed.

"Could it be that the Yellow Turban Thief General used some evil spell?"

Just as he was thinking about it, Cao Chun also sorted out the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the general results of the battle. He rode his horse to Cao Ren and directly reported the situation of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry: "Only a few people were killed or injured because they fell off their horses.

Although the other soldiers are injured, most of them are minor injuries and they will be fine after being bandaged."

"Oh!" Cao Ren nodded. The situation of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was not beyond his expectation. This was in line with his prediction. However, in this case, several people were killed...

"How many people died?"

"Six!" Cao Chun curled his lips. In fact, these six people did not need to die at all. It was entirely due to personal reasons that the Yellow Turbans seized the opportunity and were dragged off their horses. Then they died in the chaos.

If this were not the case, the cavalry in the formation would hardly be harmed by these thieves who are stronger than the farmers - the weapons are on the one hand, and the quality is on the other. In addition, the reactions of the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are better than ordinary people.

Strong, as long as you give priority to killing the enemy that threatens you the most, your companions will naturally help deal with the rest of the attacks.

What's more important is that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is always moving, so it is less likely to be attacked. At the same time, the armor it wears can also resist some attacks to a certain extent - especially bows and arrows. The Yellow Turban Thief already lacks bows and arrows, and archers

It was even more lacking. The sparse arrow attacks were not very powerful and could not break the "defence" of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry at all. All factors combined, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry naturally suffered no casualties.

"How many thieves were killed?"

When Cao Chun heard Cao Ren's question, he immediately said a vague number: "The specifics are not clear yet, but judging from the situation, it should be around five thousand!"

"Five thousand..." The somewhat proud face turned serious again. Cao Ren felt that this number was too unusual: "It took five thousand people to kill before the enemy army collapsed... Zi He paid attention to these five thousand people.

How many percent of the enemy's troops did they account for?"

"At least half way!" Cao Chun may not be as powerful as Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun and others, his commanding ability on the battlefield is not as good as Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, and his bravery and courage are not as good as Cao Hong, but Cao Ren feels that this Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will belong to Cao Chun in the future.

, he is the most suitable commander.

No matter what the situation, you can calmly observe the surrounding situation, and at the same time meticulously complete the tasks assigned by your superiors, and feedback all situations to your superior generals.

Perhaps as a commander of a legion, Cao Chun is not qualified, but as the leader of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, an elite soldier who is responsible for key assault missions, such Cao Chun is the most suitable.

"half……"

In wars of this era, one to two percent were killed and no more than 30 percent were wounded at most, which would lead to the collapse of the enemy army. But this time, it took more than half of them to be killed before they collapsed... And Cao Ren felt that there must be some changes. If not,

Maybe the bandit army of around 10,000 will fight here until no one is left.

Thinking about that scene, even if Cao Ren would be the winner in the end, he would still feel chilled in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why Yuzhou, Xuzhou and Yanzhou had all fallen to the hands of Taiping Dao one after another. With such crazy soldiers, even if their combat power was a little weak, they would be enough to make their opponents collapse from the bottom of their hearts.

"This situation... must be reported to General Cao as soon as possible."

Cao Chun nodded, and he agreed with this decision. After all, things were too weird. If we move forward rashly, who knows what kind of situation we will encounter.

What's more important is that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are "going deep alone" this time, with no friendly troops on the left or right to support them. If something goes wrong, if something goes wrong, the whole army will be wiped out if they are not careful - even if he doesn't think there is any army in this world that can

The tiger and leopard cavalry were all wiped out, but the general should not be too proud. Cao Chun and Cao Ren both understood this, so it was necessary to be appropriately cautious.

"Clean the battlefield and set up camp here with the entire army. Block the choke points and prevent the Yellow Turbans from passing by. Don't take the initiative to attack during this period. We'll wait until General Cao's group arrives."

When the order was issued, the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry naturally had no objections. But at this moment, some of the scout horses that had been released rushed back to report: "An army has turned out from behind the mountain in front. Judging from the flags, colors and armor, they seem to be friendly troops."

"Huh?" Cao Ren was stunned when he heard the report. At this time, he was sitting outside the camp that had not yet been built, eating bread. He didn't care about his image and asked directly: "It's a friendly army? You read that right?"

"There is absolutely no mistake. Judging from the armor and flag, it should be the Forbidden Army!"

"Forbidden Army?" He looked at Cao Chun next to him, and finally Cao Chun guessed and said: "Could it be that the general is afraid that we will get into trouble, so who has been sent to follow up and support our army?"

Cao Ren thought so at first, but quickly rejected it: "Impossible! The quality of the soldiers of the Forbidden Army is far inferior to that of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, not to mention that we can come so quickly only because of these powerful horses. How can the ordinary Forbidden Army keep up?"

Cao Chun smiled bitterly: "Then it can only be those two soldiers."

Cao Ren was stunned, and then he thought of who it was: "Zihe is talking about the vanguard of the two brothers?"

"This is the only possibility!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's 3,000 vanguards will set off earlier than the main army. To be honest, it is these two men who are most likely to catch up.

"No matter what, let's go and take a look first!"

Cao Ren got on his horse and faced him with a thousand heavy cavalry. Not only were the horses of his thousand heavy cavalry the best among the tiger and leopard cavalry, but they were also the best soldiers. In the battle just now, these thousand heavy cavalry were the best.

Not only was no one killed in the battle, there were not even any injured.

Although they had just gone through a big battle at this time, none of them showed any signs of fatigue. They sat upright on their horses and held their weapons tightly. As long as Cao Ren gave the order, they could kill again immediately.

But this time it was no longer necessary. The formation had just been set up, and Cao Ren had already used his extraordinary eyesight to clearly see who was on the opposite side.

The man in front had a leopard head with ringed eyes, holding a snake spear eight feet long in his hand. He was wearing golden armor and red robes. He was sitting on a horse majestically. Isn't it Zhang Fei?

Although Cao Ren didn't like Zhang Fei, he had to admit that Zhang Fei looked majestic and imposing while sitting on a horse with a spear all over his body. At first glance, he looked like a rare general.

And on the other hand, Zhang Fei's voice was far superior to ordinary people's. The two parties were still far away, and it was a windy and snowy weather. This guy was actually able to talk to Cao Ren effortlessly.

"Hahaha! Cao Ren, what's the use of running so fast? Let me, Lao Zhang, get the first prize!"

While talking, Zhang Fei pulled something out from behind his back. Although Cao Ren was not close, he could clearly see that it was a human head - human heads were not rare. So many yellow scarf thieves had been hacked to death just now.

I don’t know how many people died.

However, Zhang Fei was able to hang the head on his horse so solemnly, which means that the weight of the head is extraordinary. Combined with the yellow scarf tied on the head, we can know that it is the head of a yellow scarf general.

"Yellow Turban Thief General?"

Cao Ren had just led his men on a killing spree, killing more than 5,000 enemies, but he still couldn't catch the Yellow Turban general. He just thought he ran away with the defeated army - could it be that Zhang Fei took advantage of him?

Just as he was guessing that the armies and horses of both sides had already met, Cao Chun looked at it and immediately said to Cao Ren: "This army and horses also just fought a battle and were damaged. The one they encountered should not be

We defeated the Yellow Turban Army."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fei came closer and said, "It's not very comfortable in this windy and snowy environment. Is there any meat, wine or hot soup in your camp?"

After hearing this, Cao Ren had no choice but to say: "The camp has not been built yet, so we may have to wait for a while before we can have this hot meal."

Zhang Fei was surprised for a while after hearing this: "You guys have just arrived, too? I didn't expect that our 'Forced March' move would be really effective!"
