Upon seeing this, Xia Houyuan waved his hand and did not order a pursuit. After all, the enemy's appearance was very sudden and it was inevitable to set up an ambush.
A quarter of an hour later, when they saw that the enemy was not pursuing them, everyone slowed down. Hua Xiong could only hold on and said: "Thank you, Guorang, for saving your life." After saying so, he fell off his horse.
This person is Zhao Yun's junior brother, Tian Yu who stayed in Wudu under He Sian's tent. Tian Yu was about to blame the other party for making arbitrary claims and almost ruining Xu Shu's plan, but when he saw that the other party was defeated, he hurriedly stopped to investigate. Although Hua Xiong and his two men were breathing weakly, their lives should be fine for a while, and they were immediately relieved. Take a breath.
After the order was briefly bandaged, he hesitated slightly. If the two men were sent back to Huining at this time, the probability of them surviving their injuries was very small. He sighed deeply in his heart and left more than ten people to lead Hua Xiong and his subordinates temporarily. After returning to Wudu for treatment, he led his own troops and the remaining soldiers under Hua Xiong to gallop westward according to the original plan.
At the same time, Xia Houyuan, who had arranged his soldiers, drew his horse and came to the central army where Cao Cao was. He clasped his fists and said: "Reporting to Sikong, the enemy generals should be the Liangzhou cavalry led by Lu Bu's Hua Xiong and Cheng Lian. The total number is About three thousand cavalry had been defeated. Hua Xiong and Cheng Lian were both seriously injured. It was initially estimated that the enemy army had lost at least 60%. However, just as they were preparing to annihilate the enemy army, they were rescued by an army. Judging from their clothes, they should be It's the Wudu Army. It's too far away to see clearly, so the number is unknown! My subordinates were afraid that there would be an ambush around them, so they didn't give the order to pursue them!"
"Miaocai did a good job, how are our army's casualties?" Cao Cao was also very satisfied with Xia Houyuan's arrangements.
Hearing this, Xia Houyuan looked solemn, dismounted and knelt down and said, "This general has neglected his duty, please plead guilty to Si Kong!"
"Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers, but it doesn't matter!" Cao Cao frowned and waved his hand.
"Our army... preliminary estimates indicate that our army has about four to five thousand casualties!"
Cao Cao dismounted and helped Xia Houyuan up. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "In other words, the enemy's army is less than two thousand for five thousand of us!"
Seeing that Xia Houyuan was still about to kneel down, Cao Cao hurriedly waved his hands and said with a smile: "What's wrong with a wonderful talent? The Liangzhou cavalry is famous all over the world, and Hua Xiong is so brave that he single-handedly blocked the twelve princes for more than half a month! If it weren't for Miaocai's command was proper, and the battle damage increased by at least 50%. Moreover, Cao acted too hastily. He notified the entire army to shrink the team, slow down the pace, and send more sentries to investigate! Please retreat first, remember to treat the wounded in time, die Soldiers’ pensions must be paid in full!”
Xia Houyuan gratefully accepted the order and stepped down. Cao Cao remounted his horse and said to Cao Ang beside him: "How does Zixiu (Cao Ang's word, xiuxiu) view this matter?"
Seeing that his father wanted to test his teachings, Cao Ang said in a serious voice: "My child feels that Uncle Xiahou handled it well, and I might not have been able to do it as a minister. As for the enemy's purpose... If Hua Xiong alone appears, my child feels that it should be based on his bravery and coolness." The brave state cavalry came to assassinate my father as a dead soldier! As for the Wudu Army that appeared later, the boy couldn't understand it. Maybe it was to support Hua Xiong? Or was it to rescue? In short, the boy felt that whether it was his father Or perhaps Uncle Xiahou's response was quite correct. Our army pressed forward with thunderous force. As long as we are careful, the enemy's stupid behavior cannot change the overall situation at all!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded and looked back at Guo Jia: "What do you think of Fengxiao?"
Guo Jia first cast an approving look at Cao Ang, and then said: "What the eldest son said is exactly what Jia thinks! Lord Sikong has such a tiger, it is really a blessing for our army, and a blessing for the great man!"
Cao Cao couldn't suppress his emotions and laughed: "Back then, Master Dong had Lu Bu to frighten everyone, but now I, Cao Cao, have my own Qilin'er!"
He turned to look at Cao Ang and said: "Zixiu, after this battle, my father will give you one hundred thousand cavalry. Can you train for my father an elite cavalry comparable to the Xiliang cavalry?"
Hearing this, Cao Ang was ecstatic. He immediately dismounted and knelt down and said, "My child will definitely live up to his father's trust!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!!" Cao Cao said "yes" three times in a row, and then slowly said: "This cavalry will be led by Zi Xiu, and your uncle Cao Chun will cooperate with you! The name of the army is... Well... Since You are the commander, let Zixiu name it himself!"
Cao Ang thought for a moment and said word by word: "Our cavalry should be as fierce as tigers and as fast as leopards, so I boldly named them...Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!"
One day later, at the top of the city in Huining, Wei Xu ordered people to shoot arrows while yelling: "@@, everyone is enjoying themselves, so I'm left here alone to do this hard work!"
Wei Xu changed his usual calmness and became angrier as he thought about it. He yelled at the people in the city: "If you don't want to die, get away from me. No matter what your previous status was, since you chose to attack the city, you are joining Li Thief's group." Man! I’ll kill you right away!!”
Densely packed bows and arrows were fired from the pass in the front, and Hu Feng led his troops to threaten him in the back. Seeing this, the people who were driven out of the city howled in waves, and ignored the shouts and curses of the soldiers behind them. They all chose to shoot towards the surrounding mountains and forests. Escape, although the mountain wall is steep, there is still a glimmer of hope.
Seeing this scene, Wei Xu let out a long sigh, called the primary school student on the side and asked, "How long until Dong Yue arrives?"
"We can arrive within an hour!!" the principal replied hurriedly!
Tianshui County, Yuzhong
After driving back a wave of enemy soldiers, Lu Bu banged his halberd on the ground with a clang, and then he gasped for air. The soldiers around him also gathered around him, and Zhang Liao even said eagerly: "Marquis Wen, you Are you okay?"
Lu Bu waved his hand and stared at the opposite side fiercely, his eyes wide open, almost spitting fire!
At this time, Li Jue's voice came from the opposite side: "Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian! More than ten days ago, you wiped out all my 30,000 vanguard troops here. Things have changed, and now Li is setting up an ambush here to wipe them all out." Wait, I wonder how Marquis Wen feels about this situation? Ah, that’s right!”
As if he had thought of something, Li Jue sarcastically said: "I heard that Marquis Wen recited a poem here, why do you want to recite it so hard?"
"Strengthening the mountain, the spirit is overwhelming. The times are unfavorable, and the red will not fade away. What can be done if the red is not gone! What can be done if it is strict!" Cui Yong, Li Jue's general, pretended to be shy. Immediately, there was a roar of laughter!
"If you want to fight, fight! What nonsense!" Lu Bu said angrily, and with a clang, he picked up the halberd in his hand and pointed the tip of the halberd directly at Li Jue.
Li Jue shook his head and continued unhurriedly: "I remember that Zhang Fei gave you a nickname, House Slave with the Third Surname! Li felt it was inappropriate, very inappropriate! Here, I Mr. Li sincerely invites Marquis Wen. As long as Marquis Wen recognizes me, Li Jue, as his father, Mr. Li will be able to put aside his years of grievances. Isn’t it a good word for you and me to be kind to our fathers and filial to our sons?"
Not to mention Lu Bu, even Zhang Liao, who had always been known for his calmness, was so angry that his teeth were split by this mockery. As the saying goes, a scholar cannot be killed but cannot be humiliated. Just when he was about to fight to the death with the opponent, he suddenly heard a commotion from Li Jue's side. The troops on both sides were startled. After a while, they saw a force of tens of thousands of people coming to kill the general. The leader was Xu Rong. Seeing this scene, the spirits of Lu Bu's army were lifted! Lu Bu even got on his horse and shouted: "Reinforcements have arrived, everyone, follow me to kill the dog thief Li Jue!!"
