Chapter 389 Cao Cao's Three Cavalry Forces Surround and Kill the Wuhuan! Cao Cao Drinks Water a
Su Yu yawned, Guo Jia lowered his head to ponder whether the tomb of the Wuhuan royal court was easy to rob, and Jia Xu picked at his fingers idly.
The three people had different expressions and none of them immediately offered their opinions.
Only Xun You, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, frantically expounded his views.
This is also the tacit understanding of the three treacherous members of Cao Cao's camp; they always have to give Xun You a chance to make a difference, right?
Otherwise, if Xun You really goes into a frenzy, and we hang a white silk ribbon on the roof beam, that would be terrible!
"Gongda, you will be in charge of devising the tactics for this battle!"
Cao Cao simply started a semi-managed mode as well.
The tactics were arranged by Xun You, and the three elite cavalry units were led by three commanders: Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Cao Chun.
The only question that Cao Cao was concerned about was what Tadun's head actually looked like.
I really want to try it and see if it's made of iron.
……
Thirty thousand Cao cavalrymen began their pursuit of Tadun and one hundred thousand Wuhuan soldiers.
Why did Cao Cao's army dare to pursue them?
Because Tatum's intention to retreat had been discovered.
With Tadun promising his commanders that he would fight Cao Cao's army to the death, the retreat could not be too fast.
Otherwise, the commanders under his command would have realized something was wrong when they saw that Tadun was really running away with his soldiers.
So, in order to act and to stabilize public sentiment.
The only thing to do is to reduce your force and retreat at a uniform speed each day.
This resulted in Tadun retreating a few days earlier than Cao Cao's army, but at a much slower pace.
Twenty days later
We arrived at Bailang Mountain.
However, the Cao army, which was in hot pursuit, was brought within fifty miles of Tadun and the 100,000 Wuhuan troops!
At this rate, the two sides will inevitably clash in at most one more day.
The commanders of ten thousand and a thousand under his command were in high spirits, and many of them kept asking Tadun when he planned to engage in battle.
Tadun racked his brains, scratching his head until he was almost bald, but he still couldn't come up with a suitable strategy to fight back.
But the arrow was already on the bowstring, and there was no way to stop it.
Tadun finally ordered a flanking attack, catching Cao Cao's army off guard!
……
"Is this White Wolf Mountain?"
"The sacred mountain of the Wuhuan, hehe, how interesting."
"An old steed in its stall may still aspire to gallop a thousand miles."
"Even in their twilight years, heroes still cherish lofty ideals!"
Beside Su Yu, Cao Cao personally recited these lines from the poem "Though the Tortoise Lives Long".
"Our lord's literary talent is truly admirable."
Su Yu expressed his heartfelt admiration.
The poem "Though the Tortoise Lives Long" was originally created when Cao Cao ascended White Wolf Mountain.
Unexpectedly, she was born several years early.
Of course, this is still an incomplete version for now.
But soon, Cao Cao will use Tadun's head to complete the poem "Though the Tortoise Lives Long"!
"Report!"
"Tadon suddenly turned back and headed down another road."
The intelligence scouts truthfully reported Tadun's marching movements to Cao Cao.
"Is this guy trying to retreat by another route, or is he going to fight our army?"
With the two armies less than fifty li apart, Cao Cao believed that Tadun must have already realized that he was being pursued.
In this situation, Talton only had two options.
First, expedite the withdrawal to the royal court.
Second, we will take a detour and use the terrain advantage of Bailang Mountain to confront Cao Cao's army!
“My lord, Tadun has not yet unified the Wuhuan. Whether for the sake of prestige or face, he will not choose to slink back to the royal court at this time.”
"This scoundrel is definitely trying to take advantage of the terrain to ambush our troops!"
Xun You asserted.
Cao Cao nodded, while Su Yu and the other two simply went offline, clearly giving the opportunity to Xun You.
Okay, let's change the perspective and take a look at the conversation of the "troublemaking trio".
Su Yu said:
"Wenhe, you'd better find something to do when you get back? You're so idle all day long, aren't you afraid of getting bored out of your mind?"
Jia Xu trembled with fear:
"Ziyi, I haven't offended you, have I? The implication of your words easily brings to mind the Minister's residence..."
"I'm such an old man, don't send me to jail!"
"If there is really no one else, in my opinion, this fellow Guo Fengxiao has the potential to be a hero in the Minister's mansion!"
Guo Jia instantly reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and retorted sharply:
"Guo is busy stealing... busy excavating and protecting cultural relics every day, how could he not have anything to do?"
"But Gongda, look at how beaming he is now."
"After the war ends, he'll definitely be out of work. How about we put him in the Minister's office?"
"Anyway, when Wenruo gets ruthless, he'll even betray his own third brother, let alone this scoundrel Gongda?"
"This is a very clever plan."
The three reached an agreement: to prevent Xun You from becoming emotional again after the war, they decided to use connections to send him to the Ministry of Personnel for further studies.
Xun You, who was explaining the tactical arrangements to Cao Cao, suddenly felt a chill in his hands and feet.
"Ugh! It's already summer, why is it still so cold?"
Xun You looked completely puzzled.
Little did he know, three pairs of malicious eyes were secretly watching him from afar.
……
"Report!"
"Your Majesty, a cavalry unit of Cao Cao's army has been spotted more than ten miles ahead!"
"The leader, riding a white horse and wielding a silver spear, seems to be the legendary Cao army general Zhao Yun!"
"Zhao Yun?"
"Then that means his army must be that Dragon Cavalry."
"It is said that this army was created based on the prototype of the White Horse Cavalry of the past."
"The White Horse Cavalry excels in riding and archery, but their charging ability is only average. This is an excellent opportunity for us!"
Tadun's face lit up with joy, and he immediately ordered his troops to charge toward Zhao Yun and the Longxiang cavalry.
They walked a few more miles.
As expected, Zhao Yun was leading the Dragon Cavalry, ready for battle.
But the moment he saw Tadun, a look of "fear" seemed to flash across Zhao Yun's face!
The next moment, Zhao Yun ordered the Longxiang cavalry to fire arrows and hurriedly retreated.
Upon seeing this, Tadun felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of chicken blood, and charged forward with all his might!
Zhao Yun turned around and engaged in battle with the 100,000 Wuhuan troops under Tadun's command.
But Zhao Yun only had 10,000 men at most.
With ten times the manpower, the Longxiang cavalry's formation was about to be broken through by the Wuhuan army.
But just then, a rapid sound of hooves rang out behind the Wuhuan army!
Cao Chun led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and Zhang Liao led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, making a fierce entrance!
Unbeknownst to them, the two armies had already outmaneuvered the Wuhuan army from behind!
In an instant, the battle situation changed dramatically.
The Wuhuan army was surrounded by Cao Cao's three cavalry units, like dumplings being wrapped in a pot.
Moreover, the three cavalry units of Cao Cao's camp each formed a triangular encirclement from their respective directions.
Triangles are stable!
Tadun and his 100,000 Wuhuan troops were firmly trapped in the formation and unable to escape.
Shouts of battle, screams, and the sound of tearing apart rose and fell in waves!
With a roar, Tadun led his elite troops, numbering several thousand, like a pack of wolves launching a surprise attack, tearing open a gap and pouring out in single file.
The remaining 90,000-plus Wuhuan troops became casualties of this battle.
"Where do you think you're going!?"
Zhang Liao, riding his green horse and wielding the Ao Long Blade, charged towards Tadun like a warrior cutting through waves!
The moment he turned around to look behind him, Ta Dun was stunned into silence.
Just like in my dream, Cao Cao's general surnamed Zhang, wielding the Ao Long Blade, has actually appeared!
