Chapter 95(1/2)
Shi Huan saw that something was not going well, so he took advantage of the two men's horses to be separated, turned the horse's head, and chased Han Hao's back.
When the soldiers of Cao's army who were fighting saw their general escaping, they had no intention of fighting, so they hurriedly turned around and chased in the direction of their general.
The baggage team was originally composed of some old and weak soldiers and some civilians. When they saw that the soldiers who were protecting them ran away, they all ran away in a swarm. The remaining old and weak people could not run away, so they could only kneel down and surrender, shouting for mercy.<
/p>
Cheng Lian was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to chase Han Hao, but was stopped by Zhang Liao.
"Lao Cheng, no, Maling Mountain is in front of us. Marquis Wen has specifically told us that we must not enter the mountain."
The person Cheng Lian admired the most was Lu Bu, and the person he feared the most was also Lu Bu. When Zhang Liao mentioned it, he had no choice but to give up.
Zhang Liao was afraid that Cao Mengde would come out to take back the grain again, so he hurriedly ordered the surrendered civilians to drive the ox carts and push the carts to transport the baggage back the same way.
At the same time, together with Cheng Lian, he led the Bingzhou cavalry to cut off the rear.
After Han Hao and Shi Huan fled into the mountains, Cao Cao hurriedly sent someone to ask if Lu Bu had entered the mountains. When he heard that Lu Bu had not chased them in, his face suddenly turned livid.
Xu Chu shouted, "Oh no, if they didn't chase us in, wouldn't we have lost all our food?"
Cao Hong hurriedly said, "My lord, why don't you let the general lead a team of soldiers and horses to get the food back?"
Cao Cao was stunned and subconsciously turned to look at Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu sighed and said, "My lord, this time's plan may have failed. If we go out now, we might be able to get the food back. If it's too late, when Lu Bu'er leads the army, the food may really be lost."
”
After hearing these words, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, "Send the order and the army will leave Maling Mountain and immediately pursue Lu Bu's army."
Having said this, Cao Cao turned to look at a young and handsome general and said loudly, "Zihe, the army is a little slow. You take all the cavalry and go out of Maling Mountain immediately. You must hold them back until the army arrives."
The young and handsome general was Cao Ren's younger brother Cao Chun, who was known to be talented and learned. In the fourth year of Zhongping, at the age of only 18, he took up the post of Huangmen Shilang.
Cao Cao knew how powerful the cavalry was, so he wanted to build a cavalry team like the Bingzhou cavalry to gallop on the battlefield for him.
Cao Chun is one of the people he trusts the most and is the person he values the most. Therefore, Cao Cao gathered all his war horses. Although they have not yet become tiger and leopard cavalry, the cavalry team has basically taken shape and is already quite lethal.
The coach of this team is the young Commander Cao Chun.
Cao Chun cupped his hands and raised the corners of his mouth, "Lord, please don't worry, they can't escape my grasp."
Cao Ren frowned and said, "Zihe, although you are also commanding cavalry, outside the mountain is the Bingzhou cavalry, which is famous all over the world. You have to be careful. If you are unable to defeat them, you only need to delay and concentrate on waiting for the arrival of the army.
”
……
When Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian were retreating, they had just gone more than ten miles when a spy came to report.
"General, a group of cavalry rushed out of Maling Mountain and are already heading this way."
Hearing the news, Cheng Lian laughed, "How dare you chase them out? That's just right. We can eliminate them together and save trouble."
Zhang Liao frowned, feeling surprised and a little scared. It seemed that Cao Mengde was really hiding in Maling Mountain.
"Urge the baggage team in front to let them leave quickly, Lao Cheng, we will break up the rear."
Cheng Lian laughed nonchalantly, "Old Zhang, what are you afraid of? Your brothers and I have thousands of troops rushing over, are you still afraid of them?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a faint sound of rapid horse hooves on the official road ahead.
Ta-ta-ta!
The sound of horse hoofbeats was getting closer and closer, rapid and chaotic. Zhang Liao's expression changed and he said with a wry smile, "Lao Cheng, there are quite a few people here. It seems that we are in trouble this time."
In the distance, horseshoes stirred up large plumes of smoke and dust, almost covering the sky, rolling towards this direction with a rumble.
Seeing that the enemy had so many surprise soldiers, Cheng Lian also put away the smile on his face and looked solemn, but his eyes were full of excitement and there was no fear at all.
"I can't believe they also have cavalry."
Zhang Liao turned around and looked at the Bingzhou cavalry behind him, raised the spear in his hand and roared angrily.
"Who is the strongest cavalry in the world?"
Zhang Liao's roar awakened the dust-laden memories of the soldiers, and they recalled the scene of galloping on the battlefield and shouted in unison.
"The Bingzhou cavalry is invincible in the world."
Cheng Lian also raised the spear in his hand and shouted, "The Bingzhou cavalry is invincible in the world."
The soldiers became even more excited, raising their sabers one after another and shouting loudly.
"The Bingzhou cavalry is invincible in the world."
Everyone shouted in unison, the sound was like a thunderbolt, it shook the sky far away, and actually suppressed the sound of rolling horse hooves.
Cao Chun led the cavalry to five miles away and immediately gave an order, "Stop the whole army."
"General Qi, Lu Bu's army has about 700 people."
Upon hearing the number of the opponent's cavalry, Cao Chun raised the corners of his mouth with a disdainful sneer.
The opponent has more than 700 people, and our own side has 1,200 horses and 1,200 carefully selected soldiers.
In order to train this cavalry team well, Cao Chun relied on his identity to select elites from various armies. As long as he liked them, even if they were captains or captains in the original army, they would come here obediently.
Come be an ordinary cavalryman.
Cao Chun can guarantee that even if all 120 of his cavalry are dismounted, facing the same 1,200 infantry, they will still win without any suspense.
Although the opponent is the once powerful Bingzhou cavalry, so what? The number of cavalry on our side is almost twice that of the opponent. Is there any reason to lose?
Stop, not because of fear, but because the war horse needs a short rest before launching its strongest charge.
Zhang Liao saw that the other party had stopped, turned to look at Cheng Lian, and suddenly laughed, "Lao Cheng, it seems that the other party also knows some cavalry and knows how to recharge his batteries."

Cheng Lian sneered disdainfully, "Then let him see what a real cavalry is."
Zhang Liao laughed and nodded. The two of them roared at the same time and rushed out first.
Ta-ta-ta!
The cavalry behind the two men immediately mobilized their horses and galloped out.
Although there were more than 700 horses galloping, the cavalry on the horses were silent. No one shouted wildly. Among the entire charging team, only the sound of horse hooves sounded rapidly.
Cao Chun snorted coldly, "Since you dare to rush over first, then let you have a taste of my power."
At this point, Cao Chun waved his hand vigorously and shouted, "Charge the whole army, and I will completely defeat them."
"As commanded."
Ta-ta-ta!
The sound of horse hooves gradually sounded, and countless shouts of killing rang out from the ranks. The shouts shook the sky, and everyone was immediately boosted in morale and showed extraordinary courage.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
The two armies were not far apart to begin with, and it didn't take long before they rushed to a nearby location.
Seeing the cavalry rushing over from a distance, the number of which was obviously much smaller than his own, Cao Chun suddenly had a disdainful sneer on his lips.
At this moment, Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian shouted in unison at the same time. The next moment, the two soldiers split into two groups and ran sideways.
"Salvo."
As the words fell, the bows and arrows that the Bingzhou cavalry had prepared were drawn as fast as possible and shot out almost at the same time.
Whoosh!
Countless arrows were fired in volley, flying into the air and covering the opponent like dark clouds.
"Ahhh!"
The dark clouds fell, and Cao Jun's soldiers rushing in front were hit by arrows one after another. They screamed and fell off their horses. They were quickly trampled by the hooves of the horses behind and turned into mud.
"Ahhh!"
The cavalry behind saw the companion in front falling down. Although he wanted to stop, the galloping horse could not stop at the request. He could only watch the horse's hooves trample on the companion's body and listen to the screams of the companion, although it was heartbreaking.
, but there is nothing we can do.
Some soldiers hurriedly turned their horses' heads to avoid the fallen comrade in front of them, but his move immediately caused chaos in the entire team.
Countless war horses collided with each other, and Cao Jun's soldiers immediately fell down. They only had time to let out one or two screams, and then there was no more sound.
Ta-ta-ta!
Just when the North Korean soldiers were panicking, the terrifying sound came again.
"Salvo."
Whoosh!
"Ahhh!"
The smile at the corner of Cao Chun's mouth had long since disappeared, and there was actually a trace of fear in his eyes.
