Chapter 169

Zhang Xiu's soldiers are well-trained. The most important thing is that they have been informed long ago that once the army ordered to withdraw, they would not be allowed to love war, but would quickly retreat to the mountains.

This is well known.

Therefore, soldiers are not war loving.

In addition, there are barracks everywhere in the barracks, and fortifications are set up in many places, which are not open areas where people can run freely. Zhang Xiu's soldiers are familiar with the terrain and can retreat quickly.

On the contrary, Cao Cao's soldiers are not familiar with the situation. Even if they catch the soldiers in the rear, a large number of Zhang Xiu's soldiers have already drawn a certain distance.

At least, it won't be covered up on a large scale.

"Chase, speed up the chase!"

Dianwei took the halberd and gave a loud order.

Not far from Dianwei, both XiahouDun and xuchu were there. Both of them are tiger generals in the army with excellent martial arts. At the moment, two people see Zhang Xiu's army withdraw, also with the fastest speed.

They catch up and kill Zhang Xiu's army.

"Chase, chase!"

Cao ang also joined in the pursuit.

He wants to kill Cao Anmin and take advantage of the chaos. But he killed in Zhang Xiu's camp. From beginning to end, he didn't find any trace of Cao Anmin. He could only pursue and kill with the soldiers in the army.

Both sides ran after each other and soon reached the foot of Lushan Mountain.

The distance between the two sides is about ten steps.

Zhang Xiu had already started to climb the mountain. He looked back and saw that Cao Jun's soldiers were approaching the foot of the mountain, so he stopped and stood still. He arranged for the soldiers who had already been in place to prepare for action at the foot of the mountain.

Waiting for the last group of soldiers to withdraw to the mountain, Zhang Xiu ordered: "quickly, throw the Tribulus terrestris."

Tribulus terrestris is a triangular cone.

This kind of weapon has a conical formation with a sharp cone on three sides. If a Tribulus terrestris is thrown on the ground, it can stand firmly on the ground no matter how it is handled. There is always one end up.

This weapon is used to stop the horses from attacking. Once the cavalry pursues and kills, as long as the Tribulus terrestris is scattered on the ground, and the horses step on the Tribulus terrestris, the horse's hooves will be injured and can no longer run.

In the same way, it can also be used on soldiers.

Once the soldier's foot is stepped down, the three inch long cone is enough to pierce the person's foot.

Dense Tribulus terrestris, quickly fell on the ground, spilled on the ground. But Zhang Xiu told the soldiers to scatter about ten Zhang distance, then took the soldiers to climb the mountain, and stationed at the first intersection of the mountain, waiting for Cao Jun to arrive.

He has the advantage of geographical advantage, enough to hold Lushan steadily.

Even so, Cao's offensive was fierce.

At the foot of the mountain, Cao's soldiers are still coming.

It's not long. Soldiers have arrived. These Cao soldiers, who are constantly rushing forward, have been killed so much that they don't pay attention to the situation at their feet. Especially in the area at the foot of the mountain, there are deciduous weeds everywhere, so it's not easy to find anything.

Many soldiers rushed in rashly and stepped on the Tribulus terrestris with one foot.

Including XiahouDun, also stepped on it.

"Puchi!"

Sharp spikes of Tribulus terrestris pierced the soles of XiahouDun's feet. At that moment, XiahouDun stood in the same place in pain and did not dare to rush forward. But although XiahouDun stopped, there were still soldiers rushing to the rear.

Under the collision and crowding of the soldiers in the rear, the soldiers who suddenly stopped in front could not stop their bodies at all.

One by one, one by one, and then one after another.

"Ah! Ah! "

Scream, constantly ring out.

One by one, Cao's soldiers fell to the ground and were stabbed by Tribulus terrestris again. Although the spikes of Tribulus terrestris don't grow very long, as long as they don't hit the key, they are not in danger.

But this kind of injury, enough to make people pain to death.

Harhoughton was not spared either.

He stepped on the Tribulus terrestris with one foot. The sole of his left foot had just been hit by the attack. Before he could get back, the soldiers from the rear had already hit him. After seeing this, XiahouDun quickly dodged, but there were a lot of soldiers all around him, all falling down, and he couldn't escape at all.

He couldn't hold his body and was knocked to the ground.

He sat down, only to hear the sound of Puchi, several tribulus stabbed his ass.

"Ah

After XiahouDun's death, his face was extremely ferocious.

Pain!

It really hurts.

XiahouDun couldn't hold back any longer. He opened his mouth and screamed. He wanted to stand up, but soldiers were still falling around him. Fortunately, he carefully avoided being hurt again.

After a while, the soldiers stopped.

At this moment, XiahouDun stood up, looked at the bloody soles of his feet, and touched his aching buttocks, with a bitter look on his face.

It's a big loss this time.

With a glance, XiahouDun suddenly found that Dianwei was not far away from him. At this time, Dianwei also stood up, and Dianwei's butt, also inserted a Tribulus terrestris."Poof

Immediately, XiahouDun began to laugh and said, "diansunspot, you are so careful that you are also caught."

When he was alone, he was sad. At the moment, seeing that Dian Wei was also hit, I feel some comfort. When Xia Houdun laughed at himself, he found that Xu Chu was not hurt.

Laughter, stopped immediately.

The corner of XiahouDun's mouth drew, and he did not speak any more. On the contrary, he was a little embarrassed.

When the army stagnated, Cao Cao led the army.

When Cao Cao saw that the soldiers were stopped and asked about the situation, Xia Houdun limped up and said in a deep voice: "Lord, Zhang Xiu is so insidious. When we pursued him, he sprinkled a lot of Tribulus Terrestris on our way up the mountain. You see, I've been punctured on the sole of my foot and hurt my ass

Dian Wei stood aside silently, the iron halberd put away, and took off the iron Tribulus Terrestris on the buttocks, covered the bleeding buttocks and stood aside silently.

When Cao Cao saw this, he was helpless.

Zhang Xiu is also too cunning. There are so many ways to stop her.

Cao Cao looked around, and all of them were moaning and groaning. Because the soldiers in the front were all injured, or the soles of their feet, or the buttocks, or the palms of their hands

The injuries one by one are very strange.

When Cao Cao saw it, he looked up at the hillside and saw that on the slope about fifty steps away from him, Zhang Xiu set up checkpoints for soldiers to stop him.

On the mountain, there is a barrier.

From the foot of the mountain to the top, it is different from the flat sprint, which is much more difficult.

After thinking, Cao Cao said, "XiaHouYuan!"

"Yes

Xia Houyuan quickly followed up and saluted.

Cao Cao said: "count the losses, and then lead the troops back to camp."

"Here it is

Knowing that Cao Cao could not attack the mountain again, Xia Houyuan retreated with his soldiers and camped at the foot of the mountain.

Soldiers stationed, XiaHouYuan began to count the losses. By noon, the army's losses had been counted. Xia Houyuan came to the Chinese Army's account with the war report and reported: "Lord, I have finished counting the losses. In this war, we killed more than 1600 soldiers and injured more than 2000. At the foot of the mountain, hundreds of soldiers were injured. "

Cao Cao's face became gloomy when he heard the speech.

It's a big loss.

A loss of more than 1000 at a time, even if he had 30000 elite soldiers, he could not afford such a loss.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and asked, "how much is the loss of Zhang Xiu due to our fighting with Zhang Xiu?"

Looking embarrassed, Xia Houyuan replied: "at present, there are only more than 200 corpses in our statistics. It is estimated that Zhang Xiu's loss will not exceed 300 people at this point. "

"Son of a bitch!"

When Cao Cao heard the speech, he slapped it on the desk.

This is Cao Cao's rare anger.

With Cao Cao's mind, he has long been happy and angry, and has long been unaffected by things. I can't help but get angry when I hear the news reported by Xia Houyuan.

The difference in losses between the two sides is too great.

He lost more than 1600 people, and Zhang Xiu lost no more than 200. If it goes on like this, let alone attacking Zhang Xiu, I'm afraid Zhang Xiu will attack him in the opposite direction.

Xia Houyuan said: "Lord, Zhang Xiu has a favorable geographical position. We are attacking Zhang Xiu again, and the loss is naturally greater. Moreover, the previous contest between Dian Wei and Zhang Xiu also affected the morale of the army. "

Cao Cao's face was as gloomy as water.

He waved his hand, let XiaHouYuan back, and then ordered people to call Guojia.

Cao Cao said the war report reported by Xia Houyuan and said in a deep voice: "although Zhang Xiu is young, her strength is relatively weak. But he relies on the advantage of geographical location to weaken us a little bit. Now the war in Lushan has caused us great losses. In the long run, we can't beat Zhang Xiu. Fengxiao, what's your plan to defeat the enemy? "

Guojia smell speech, but also into thinking, he also found that Zhang Xiu is not easy to deal with.

This is a tough guy.

In particular, Zhang Xiu's every move is useful in calculation. Facing such a person, it is not easy to beat the other side.

Cao Cao looked a little anxious and continued: "we can't wait for the news of the ban, and don't take any action. Now, we must find a way to contain Zhang Xiu. "
