Cao Chun with his tiger and leopard riding, as well as thousands of soldiers retreat. Thanks to his soldiers and some dry food, he was able to support his way to Nanyang County.
Cao Chun sat in the granary and knew the food situation in Cao Cao's army.
At present, the grain in Cao Cao's army can support at least half a month. With about half a month's supply of grain, if Cao Cao chooses the quick war tactics, he still has a chance.
Even if Cao Cao wanted to withdraw, he could withdraw calmly with the grain in his hands.
Therefore, Cao Chun is not worried.
Cao Chun came out of Yanzhou and went all the way south, and soon entered Nanyang County. The road to the north of Lushan in Nanyang County was quite smooth, and Cao Chun didn't encounter any obstacles.
Under Cao Chun's fast driving, he arrived near the north of Lianqiao in a short time.
And five miles from the North Bank of Lianqiao, in a forest.
This is a flat place.
The terrain is also relatively open.
Around the official road are some bushes and some low woods. Now the bushes and woods have sprouted, and the green branches and leaves are swinging in the air, full of vitality.
It is the branches and leaves that grow out, blocking the sight in the grass forest.
In the jungle, an army was stationed.
This army is the cavalry of Langya camp led by Chen Zhi.
He was familiar with the path of Nanyang County. He first took the path to Cao Chun, and then settled down near the North Bank of Lianqiao. Chen Dao's idea is to ambush near the South Bank of Lianqiao, where the conditions and terrain are better.
It's just hard to cross the river. After all, Cao's troops are stationed on both sides of the bridge.
Once Chen Dao is killed, his identity will be exposed.
Chen Dao can also go to another place to cross the river, and then go to the south bank to lay an ambush, but the distance is longer, which is very uneconomic. So instead of going south, Chen chose to move on the North Bank of Lianqiao.
In order to ambush Cao Chun, Chen Dao specially collected some weapons.
It's easy to get.
After all, he led the troops outside and could not get supplies. He could only find some simple weapons to deal with Cao Chun quickly and win the battle more easily.
A group of people, waiting quietly.
Time goes by little.
Near noon, the sun is high, and the warm sun in early spring shines down, which makes people very comfortable.
"Rustle!"
A sound of walking came from the forest.
The sentry ran quickly, and soon came to Chen Dao's body, hugging his fist and saying: "general Qi, the army led by Cao Chun is coming. Cao Chun is about six miles away from us. His army, 200 cavalry in the front and 900 infantry in the back
"Explore again!"
Chen Dao gave an order.
When Chen Dao learned the news, he immediately ordered all the soldiers to prepare. He even asked the soldiers to check again to see if all the horses were muzzled to avoid the noise of Herod.
Once the horse neighs and the sound comes out, it's easy to scare the snake.
It will lead to the collapse of the plan.
Time is still passing by.
Suddenly, Chen's ears moved, as if he felt the vibration of the ground. He knew that Cao Chun's tiger and leopard had arrived, quietly came to the roadside, fell on the ground, and listened carefully.
"Here it is
After listening carefully, Chen Dao saw a light in his eyes.
The fighters are coming.
He half squatted on the ground, quickly in position, and so did the rest of the soldiers.
Chen's cavalry arrived early. Around Chen Dao, some soldiers, such as Chen Dao, quickly ambush on both sides of the official road, pulling a rope in their hands.
This is the rope Zhang Xiu found.
Each rope is three feet long, which can easily cross the whole road. On the top of the rope, small stones are tied at intervals.
The role of stones is that once Cao Chun's tiger and leopard horses fall down and press on the stones, they will bump into the horses or even soldiers.
This is the stumbling block Chen Dao prepared.
Every ten feet, there were soldiers burying the stumbling cables on the ground, and there were fifteen stumbling cables on the ground. These stumbling ropes and stones are hard for Zhang Xiu to get.
Now, it is to use this stumbling block to deal with Cao Chun's cavalry.
"Boom!"
Across the way, Chen Dao heard the sound of horses' hooves.
More horses hissed.
The tiger and leopard riders under Cao Chun's command have come, and the distance is getting closer quickly.
Eighty steps!
Sixty steps!
When the distance narrowed to 40 steps, Chen Dao's heart was beating fast, and his eyes were full of hope.
When Cao Anmin was captured, he and Gan Ning fought together.
It was Gan Ning who captured the prisoner.Now, he has to capture Cao Chun and bring back a city, because he also wants to make great achievements.
The sound of the horse's hooves still came. A moment later, Cao Chun's tiger and leopard riding was less than 20 steps away from Chen Dao's position. However, Chen Dao still didn't give a hand and let the soldiers wait quietly.
Because Chen Dao was holding the last stumbling rope in his hand, he would not order his hand until the horses got close to him. In this way, all hands together, in order to maximize the trip Cao Chun cavalry.
In the twinkling of an eye, the distance is getting closer.
Chen Dao saw that the cavalry in front of the tiger and leopard was close to his position, so he stood up and yelled, "let's go!"
He tugged at the rope.
"Hum!"
The rope straightened and hung in the air.
On the rope, there are rocks rocking.
As the soldiers lying in ambush on both sides of the official road pulled up the ropes, as soon as the horses rushed up, the legs of the horses were caught by the ropes. In an instant, they lost their center of gravity and fell straight forward to the ground.
In order to achieve this step, Chen Dao has made great efforts.
When the horse strikes the rope, it pulls with great force. If you don't pay attention to it, you may be dragged out. At that time, it is very likely that the war horse will drag itself out and fall into danger instead of blocking and helping.
So there are three soldiers pulling the rope.
The rope in each person's hand is very long, so they must find the trunk behind them, or bind them with big stones, which can pull the soldiers behind them. In this way, the horses will collide and the soldiers will not be dragged out.
"Herod!"
A war horse, constantly falling.
The horses in front of them fell out of control. For a full distance of 15 feet, they all had stumbling ropes. For a moment, almost most of them fell into stumbling ropes and kept falling.
Even if there are still some soldiers in the rear, they are not trapped in it. But when they galloped, the speed of the horse was not too fast, but it was very difficult to stop suddenly.
The horses in the rear, bang bang one after another.
Cao's army was in chaos.
Seeing this scene, Chen Dao ordered: "blow the trumpet, order the attack!"
"Woo! Woo
The sound of a long horn sounded on the side of the official road.
"Kill
Chen to holds the big gun in the hand, quickly kills. Instead of riding a horse, he killed on foot. Around Chen Dao, there are nearly 300 soldiers, all of whom do not ride horses and carry swords. They fight in the camp of tiger and leopard riding.
More than two hundred tigers and leopards fell on their horses, and the cavalry fell down.
At this time, the cavalry on which the tigers and leopards rode were still fainting.
Chen Dao, if he takes cavalry to kill him, there are places full of stumbling ropes and fallen horses, so it is not easy for cavalry to rush. So he went in with a gun and kept killing the soldiers.
Tigers and leopards are all elite riders.
But at this moment, the tiger and leopard soldiers who had lost their advantage were so dizzy and busy that they couldn't stop them at all. They were completely reduced to fish on the chopping board and allowed to be slaughtered by Chen Zhi and his soldiers.
For a time, countless casualties.
Cao Chun took the infantry to the rear, ready to break through from the rear. He saw the front of the tiger and leopard riding in an ambush, saw the front of the kill to Chen and others, face changed greatly.
Again!
Cao Chun left and right a lot of time, did not see the rear ambush, only to see the front of Chen and his party. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he planned to order him to rush forward and kill him directly.
But Cao Chun has not ordered, but his face has changed greatly.
"Boom!"
The rapid sound of the horse's hooves, trampling on the ground, came from behind him. The mighty cavalry is killing in his direction. On the left side of the official road is the Bush, the road is very flat, there are cavalry to kill.
Two cavalry, straight at his infantry.
At this moment, Cao Chun's heart was completely sunk.
