Chapter 3338 Opportunity Taboo
Chapter 3337 Opportunity Taboo
Although Cao Hong attacked, he did not dare to go deep.
Although he seemed to be careless and bluffing on the outside, if he was really a reckless person who didn't care about anything, he would have died on the battlefield a long time ago, and the grass on his grave would be three feet high.
He attacked quickly, and fled even faster.
Even before the attack, Cao Hong had already prepared to retreat, or break out.
The reason why Cao's army did not dare to move before was not that they could not beat a certain local cavalry, but that once they rushed in, it would be difficult to withdraw.
The cavalry of the cavalry would roar from all directions, constantly intercepting and cutting. If they could not retreat in time, often the large force of Cao's army would go out, and only a few people might escape back, so in most cases, Cao's army would not leave the camp too far.
It was also for this reason that the cavalry did not particularly guard against Cao Hong's surprise attack.
However, after this time, even if Cao Jun wants to attack again, it may not be so easy.
This is also Xu Chu's first time, so he still has the pain he should have...
What is the biggest problem when retreating, well, breaking through?
Unclear orders.
Although everyone knows that they just need to run towards the camp, if the planning between the various parts is not unified and the orders are not clear, it is very likely that they will be scattered and lose their formation, and eventually become the dead souls under the swords of the pursuers.
Fortunately, Cao Hong was in the front line of command, which shortened the delay in the transmission of orders. In addition, Cao Hong's identity also made it impossible for all Cao Jun soldiers to delay any doubts, and they immediately ran forward along the fork road!
The terrain of the Loess Plateau is so close that people can see each other but cannot communicate!
Even if they live on the next plateau, the straight-line distance is only a hundred meters, but if they want to visit each other, they have to walk for at least half a day!
Well, this situation often appears in real estate advertisements in later generations...
Therefore, when Cao Hong gave an order, the Cao Jun soldiers immediately fled back frantically.
Cao Hong didn't need to say anything more. Everyone knew what would happen if they were intercepted by the cavalry!
The sun was hanging high in the sky, smiling at the pursuit and killing in the world, perhaps just like humans standing aside and watching two groups of ants killing each other.
The Loess Plateau was full of gullies and ravines, and the traffic was complicated.
Where people can walk, horses can't necessarily walk, and where horses can walk, it's not necessarily a shortcut.
At this moment, the command ability of the generals of both sides was particularly tested.
If you can't completely imprint the topography of this place in your mind, and can accurately calculate the relationship between the speed and distance of the enemy and our side, then this application problem will inevitably get a wrong result.
Two cars, okay, two groups of cavalry, A drove out from A, and B drove out from B at the same time...
Yellow dust was flying all over the sky.
Horse hooves were rushing.
Chasing and killing.
The conversion of prey and hunter is the most common concerto on the battlefield.
Some tiny black spots appeared in the blue sky.
That was a foraging eagle.
Perhaps the food was too abundant during this period, which not only attracted vultures that ate carrion, but also eagles that ate carrion.
When the small animals that ate carrion hunted carrion, they themselves became prey.
A warhorse was injured and fell down, with mud and blood on its mane, its nostrils wide open, and it was panting. Suddenly it struggled to stand up, limped on one front leg and took two steps staggeringly, and fell down again.
It opened a pair of painful big eyes, and tears hung on its eyelashes that made all the beautiful ladies jealous. It looked at its owner sadly. Its owner was just a few steps away, lying motionless, and dark red spread under him.
When alive, they were divided into Cao Army and Fei Army, and after death they had the same name.
Dead people.
A piece of meat with bones.
All the grievances and hatreds in life were gone with the wind.
The sudden sound of horse hooves approached, and the injured warhorse raised its neck and neighed as hard as it could...
The sound of horse hooves rolled in, and then whistled away in the blink of an eye, leaving only the flying yellow sand, rapidly spreading and slowly falling.
『Kill! Kill all these dogs! 』
『Die! Go to hell! 』
『Those who stand in my way will die! 』
『Ahhh...』
Perhaps a thousand years ago, or a thousand years later, the same drama will still be played here.
……
……
Xu Chu sat on the horse's back, standing in front of the formation of a thousand cavalrymen under his direct command.
His eyes were fixed on the battlefield under his helmet.
There was only one chance.
If the hawk in the sky missed a strike, it could only retreat and circle, and the prey often escaped during this circle.
He was the same.
Once he rushed out, he would lose the convenience of command for a short time. If he could not seize the opportunity at that moment, he could only watch Cao Hong, the big fish, escape again.
Although Xu Chu's expression was still calm, he was actually quite nervous, and his hand holding the reins also showed a few blue veins.
To be honest, he had fought quite a few battles along the way with Fei Qian. At most, he had thousands of soldiers under his command. He even saw how a country was destroyed in the Western Regions. The scenes he had experienced were bigger than what he was seeing!
But at those times, others were in command, and he only needed to obey orders.
Watching others do it and doing it yourself are two completely different concepts.
No matter how many teachers there are in the hard drive, they may not be able to do the job when the time comes to see the real results.
Now it was Xu Chu himself who personally commanded more than a thousand soldiers and horses to fight together. This was the first time for him. As soon as the eldest girl got on the sedan chair, it was indeed difficult for her to be able to collapse like a mountain without changing her color. The well is on the left but the eyes cannot blink.
If we really go to bed...
Ahem, if you’re not nervous when you get on the sedan, it might not be the first time...
In addition, Xu Chu has high requirements for himself, and it is impossible to just hit him casually, so the pressure in his heart is naturally not light. The calm and composed nature of a general has long since been thrown away thousands of miles away. He just suppressed his heart that almost jumped out of his chest and thought, calculated, and judged desperately...
From point A to point B...
Horse speed...
Wind speed...
Surface variables…
Loess gully...
The most troublesome thing is that Land B is not a point, but a line or a surface!
Which exit did Cao Hong want to escape from?
A military academy member came up from behind and reported: "General!" A thousand troops have been assembled! General, please give the order! 』
Xu Chu glanced at the military academy on horseback, nodded slightly and said, "Stay where you are, ready to attack with my general at any time." 』
"only! "The military academy responded.
Before the military academy had time to retreat, a messenger came hurriedly, saying, "Report to the general!" The gate to the west camp of Cao Jun’s camp has been opened! 』
"General!" There are soldiers of Cao's army in formation on the plateau to the south! 』
"Report!" Cavalry left wing commander Zhang Erhu died in battle! The intercepted soldiers of Cao's army are disintegrating! 』
"General!" Li Junhou was blocked by Cao Jun in the southwest slope ditch! It's impacting! 』
"Report!" Cao's army in the southeast has been completely defeated! 』
"General, the troops who went to the base are regrouping, please go into battle!" 』
"Report!" It was discovered that there was a lot of dust flying inside the Cao Jun camp! 』
Xu Chu's eyes twitched suddenly, he looked up, stared at the last messenger and asked: "Which direction in the camp is dust rising?" ! 』
The ordering soldier turned around and gestured with his hands, "From there to there..."
Xu Chu immediately responded, "Send the order!" Attack with this general! Over there is the thief's planned retreat! 』
"The hussars are victorious!" 』
"Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories!" 』
At the command, a thousand hussars shouted in unison and roared out!
…
…
Although Cao Hong ran all the way back and several hussar teams also tried to intercept him, they failed to keep Cao Hong.
Seeing that the camp was right in front of them, this meant that Cao Hong had not only successfully strangled some of the hussars, but he had also been able to escape from the hussars' encirclement and successfully return. Everyone was somewhat excited, and together with them Even his steps seemed to be much brisker.
But Cao Hong became more and more nervous.
Nervousness is not the problem, uncontrollable nervousness is the problem.
Cao Hong was also able to control his nervousness. He stared closely at Cao Jun's camp. The blood-red color in his eyes due to the fighting gradually faded away, and what was left was an iron-blue coldness and calculation.
The Hussars obviously wanted to keep Cao Hong on this land forever. The Hussars extending out to the left and right looked like the arms of the God of Death. Among the yellow dust rising into the sky, the shining blade was like the teeth of the God of Death.
While he listened carefully to the shouts and killing sounds, he nervously calculated and judged the current situation.
The east and west sides are not important, the key is inside Cao Jun's camp!
Cao Hong looked back slightly.
Although Cao Hong couldn't see clearly what was happening behind him through the crowds and smoke, he believed that Xu Chu must be following him!
The two of them looked at each other at the fork in the road before, and they were already deeply in love...
Ahem, life or death?
Well, it means something similar anyway.
Cao Hong knew that Xu Chu wanted his life. Similarly, Cao Hong also wanted Xu Chu's life!
If Xu Chu's life can be taken, then the next series of actions will definitely be carried out smoothly!
If you want Xu Chu's life, you must fight tooth and nail first!
Seeing that he was only about five miles away from Cao Jun's camp, Cao Hong knew that this might be the most difficult five-mile journey in his life!
It is true that Cao Jun can come out to respond at any time, but the question is whether Xu Chu will take advantage of the situation and charge into the camp after Cao Jun comes out to respond!
What's more exciting than catching a big fish?
Of course I caught a whole nest of fish!
If he were in Xu Chu's position, Cao Hong would definitely be prepared.
He will never besiege too far away from Cao Jun's camp, because that means he can only catch one fish at most.
The best opportunity, and the biggest opportunity, is here!
Will Xu Chu let go of such an opportunity?
No, Cao Hong felt that if it were him, he would definitely not let it go!
Because what Cao Hong bets on the gambling table is his own life!
come on!
Come after me!
Cao Hong had already fought against Xu Chu once before, and he had some understanding.
After Xu Chu won the victory in the initial battle, he did not immediately get carried away. He still followed the steps step by step. He even removed Cao Jun's traps outside the camp in a strict manner, and continued to expand the area to be cleared. Even Cao Hong deliberately exposed Some of the flaws, Xu Chu is not greedy at all!
If such a person is a teammate, of course it will be fun, but once he becomes an opponent, he will be quite scary!
Cao Hong understood that once Xu Chuan safely completed the clearance and investigation around the camp, what awaited him in the end would be an overwhelming and violent attack!
For himself and for Cao Cao, Cao Hong must interrupt Xu Chu's stable investigation process!
Fortunately, not all hussars were so cautious, which allowed Cao Hong to seize the opportunity!
Although the results of war are only simple survival and death, in the actual process it is ever-changing. Cao Hong's layout on the east and west sides is actually not the focus.
The point is here!
Only here!
Cao Hong knew this, and so did Xu Chu.
Because it is impossible for Cao Jun to open the door for ordinary county soldiers or ordinary Cao Jun soldiers. At most, they can provide long-range support with arrows and crossbows. They will not let them go until the hussars are forced back by arrows and crossbows. Those ordinary Cao soldiers returned to the camp in an orderly manner.
Only he is different!
So Xu Chu will definitely wait to attack at the last moment!
"General!" Raise the flag in the camp! "In the queue, Cao Hong's guards shouted urgently.
"knew! 』
Just as Cao Hong responded, he heard another report, "General!" Xi Mian can’t stop it! Colonel Wu's flag fell! 』
Cao Hong was slightly startled and turned to look to the west, but after just one glance, he ordered: "No matter what else!" Send a signal to the camp and act according to the plan! 』
At this moment, Cao Hong couldn't care much anymore.
The situation between the two sides is complicated and confusing. Before, Cao Jun was still aggressively chasing the Qubei tribe, but in the blink of an eye, he was chased by the hussars. Will there be another reversal now?
"The whole army speeds up!" ” Cao Hong shouted, “Victory must belong to us! 』
…
…
Anyone who goes to the battlefield wants victory to accompany them.
But the problem is that there is only one victory.
Doesn't Xu Chu want to win?
Are you kidding me?
But he has to control his eagerness to win.
This is his first appearance, the first time he has commanded so many people, the first time he can arrange military affairs and deploy military schools according to his own ideas!
Don't allow him to make any mistakes!
Under Qiusi's command, there is no shortage of generals like Xu Chu who can lead an army, and there are even more military academies who can go into battle to kill the enemy!
And there are many rising stars, like Li Li, who was originally from Northern Xinjiang...
Therefore, Xu Chu has always warned himself to be cautious, no matter how cautious he is, he must be cautious, but now, he was lured out by Cao Hong!
Big fish!
Cao Hong!
And a bigger fish nest is right in front of you!
This is the perfect opportunity!
If we can really seize this opportunity, we will not only be able to capture and kill the enemy generals, but also achieve the feat of riding on horseback, and we will definitely become famous all over the world...
Xu Chu thought, but for some reason, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
He patrolled the battlefield.
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
As expected, Cao's troops on the east and west sides could not hold on for long, and the cavalry on both wings were gathering to outflank him.
Cao Jun in front was still running wildly without looking back, as if he thought he could return to the camp before he caught up.
Yes, at the current speed, it is indeed possible for Cao Jun to escape before he pursues him, but the problem is that the group of troops led by Xu Chu have not consumed the physical strength of the war horses before, and are still relatively at a disadvantage. A relatively abundant state. The most critical point is that Xu Chu has not put all his strength into chasing him at the moment!
Xu Chu is also waiting.
Xu Chu knew that if he surrounded Cao Jun too early, Cao Jun would definitely fight to the death. Although he had a higher chance of capturing the enemy general, his own damage would also be considerable. But it would be much easier if the interception was carried out just before Cao Jun entered the camp!
Because at that time, all the soldiers of Cao's army wanted to escape back to the camp one step away, and no one would fight for their lives to resist. Xu Chu and the others only needed to catch up with each one and harvest each one.
Yes, everything is as planned.
Since there are no problems and everything is within the plan, let’s catch up!
Let this moment become brilliant!
"Send the order!" accelerate! ” Xu Chu shouted.
"accelerate! accelerate! 』
Under the command, the hussars once again pierced the belly skin of the war horse with their spurs. The sharp spurs pierced the skin of the war horse, causing the horse to sting, and its speed increased dramatically!
Cao's army ran wildly in front, while the hussars were chasing after them.
The distance between the two sides is constantly shortening!
Cao Jun's cavalry, who fell at the rear, was horrified. While looking back at the hussars and horses getting closer and closer, he drove the horses desperately, trying to speed up his escape. But turning back frequently like this would affect the horse's running. On the other hand, the reason why he fell behind was that the horse's physical strength was gradually exhausted, and it couldn't get up faster no matter how hard he urged it.
When the Cao Jun soldier who had fallen behind turned around again, he saw a shining sword whizzing down!
"ah……"
When the first scream sounded, the God of Death began to play the symphony excitedly.
Xu Chu watched from the army.
That's right, that's it, bite it, wrap it up, and find an opportunity to rush in!
All without asking…
has a problem!
Xu Chu suddenly focused his gaze forward.
Smoke and dust rose up in Cao Jun's camp, but after so long, there were no cover or supporting troops to rush out!
Of course, this may not be a problem. After all, as long as the camp gate is opened and the bridge is erected and people can enter, everything will be fine. Moreover, General Cao's army was outside, and there was no time to arrange these covering troops in the camp...
As long as you charge forward, none of this will be a problem!
Close, close!
Watching the hussars in front of them, they began to bite Cao Jun's butt, and the blood splashed filled the air with an adrenaline-pumping atmosphere!
"Ahhh!" Kill! 』
The hussars instinctively speeded up again and began to harvest those Cao cavalry who fell behind.
It went very smoothly, indeed...
wrong!
Xu Chu suddenly felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable danger approaching. He stood up on his horse and walked, raising his head to look around.
Suddenly, he understood where the danger he felt lay!
