Chapter 12 Cutting off the beard and discarding the robe
Outside the valley, Cao Cao's 30,000 troops stopped. The leader was in his forties, seven feet long, thin eyes and long beard, wearing armor, and a big red robe. He was followed by civil and military personnel, Guo Jia, Xun You, Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu, and Cao Chun were all on the list, and it was Cao Cao who came in person!
Cao Cao looked at the thick fog in the valley and turned to Xun You beside him and asked, "Gongda, who is leading the troops in ambush in the mountains?"
A light flashed in Xun You's eyes: "Lord, Zhang Xiu is brave but not wise. If he leads his troops, he will inevitably be suspicious, either sending troops out to inquire or leading troops back. Huang Zhong is the bravest army leader. If he is the general, he should have already fought out with the thick fog at this time and fought with us in close combat."
Cao Cao stroked his long beard and said, "In this way, there is no general among the ambush, that's it. Just let Yuan Rang lead three thousand soldiers to send them away."
Xun You hurriedly said, "Lord, no. In You's opinion, Chen Mang should have led the ambush in the mountains! His personal guard camp won many battles, and his strength was not inferior to the tiger and leopard cavalry, and he occupied the advantage of the terrain. If he attacked rashly, he would definitely lose this battle."
Cao Cao's eyes lit up: "Gongda, why did he realize that Chen Mang was personally leading the troops?"
Xun You said: "Chen Mang is very city-like and good at forbearance. He has been dormant in Nanyang for more than ten years and became famous all over the world. Only when he leads his troops will there be no movement in the mountains, as if there is no ambush. With him leading the troops, even with the thick fog, we will not be able to gain advantage. If we don't do it well, we will backfire, but instead use it for him."
Guo Jia nodded from the side and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, Gongda is right, I will disperse the fog first." As he fanned the goose feathers, a cold wind slowly blew towards the mountains. The fog in the mountains instantly condensed into frost, dyeing the continuous hills into snow-white colors.
Chen Mang, who was lying on the ground, shivered? He looked around and saw that the soldiers beside him even had frost on their eyebrows, and cursed: "Which bastard did this? It's really hurt!"
As the frost on the soldiers melted? Apart from some black figures in the mountains, the ambushing place of Chen Mang and others was exposed.
Chen Mang stood up unhappily? He ordered: "Get in teams and prepare to face the enemy!"
With a command, the clanging sound of armor rubbing sounded. The soldiers scattered in the mountains gathered towards both sides of the valley.
At the same time, Cao Cao's army also came to the entrance of the valley and aimed the javelin and crossbow arrows at Chen Mang and others on the top of the mountain.
Chen Mang lowered his head and looked down at the mountain. Seeing Cao Cao's central army flag erected in the army? His eyes lit up. He shouted: "Cao Mengde!"
Cao Cao also saw Chen Mang and found that his appearance and the portrait brought back by the spy seemed to be. He laughed up and said, "Hahaha, Chen Fara! It's better to meet each other than to be famous. It's indeed a young hero!"
"I came to challenge the rebellion according to the emperor's edict? If you can repent and lead your army to surrender? When you go to the emperor, I will definitely plead for you? I will forgive you for your sins. I will obey my orders in my account in the future, and it is unknown whether you can win a wife and a son!"
Chen Mang said righteously: "Stop your mouth! Are you calling your name to be the prime minister of Han? You are actually a thief in the Han Dynasty! Shameless old thief? Don't you know that people in the world want to eat your flesh alive, so how dare you talk here! The soldiers obeyed the orders and captured the thief alive, and bounty 10,000! Kill!"
With Chen Mang's order, the sound of the bow and crossbow leaving the string suddenly rang out, and a rain of arrows poured down the mountain.
Xiahou Dun waved the flag, and the shield player immediately stepped forward and blocked the front. The archers, the javelins and Chen Mang's army shot against each other.
Seeing that Chen Mang could not kill or hurt a few people after he continued to waste, he lifted his long-term forward and rushed towards the bottom of the mountain, shouting: "Personal Guard Camp, charge!"
The Eight Hundred Guards followed closely behind, and followed Chen Mang with arrows. An invincible military power immediately condensed, bounced away the arrows that were shooting towards Cao Cao's army!
Cao Chun shouted: "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, welcome the enemy!"
A group of soldiers walked out from behind the shield, wore uniform armor, held sharp blades, and quickly formed a formation in front of the army, with a total of one thousand people.
As the military formation formed, a fierce military power spread, like a tiger counterattacking, hitting its head on the solid military power of the personal guard camp.
After the two military powers offset each other, Chen Mang had already rushed down the mountain, jumped high with the dive, and slashed at Cao Chun with one sword!
Cao Chun immediately speared his spear, condensed his energy and blocked Chen Mang's sword from the slash of Huashan with all his strength, but suddenly realized that his hands had numb and his mouth had broken.
Chen Mang did not change his move and kicked the horse under his crotch.
The horse was kicked by Chen Mang with a sharp kick, and the horse's head exploded. The headless horse corpse fell to the ground. Cao Chun's body suddenly lost balance and fell down towards the horse.
At the same time, Chen Mang pressed the spear in his hand and slashed it. After a blood light passed, Cao Chun's body separated in an instant!
"Zihe!"
When Cao Cao saw Cao Chun's body crossing the spot in one round, he screamed in pain and his eyes suddenly turned red.
At this time, Chen Mang had already landed on the ground, swept the three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand, and swept the thousands of troops, and the ten-foot-long sword shadow swept towards the Cao army in front of him!
"Xu Chu is here, how dare you be arrogant!"
A fierce general rushed out from the diagonal, slashed the big sword in his hand, and a sharp sword aura met Chen Mang. He scattered the sword aura emitted by Chen Mang with one sword, rode his horse and rushed towards Chen Mang, dragging the big sword to rush towards Chen Mang, and slashed at Chen Mang's neck with one sword.
"Good come!"
Chen Mang shouted loudly, dodged Xu Chu's blade with a short body, swept his right hand, and cut off the four legs of the war horse.
Xu Chu jumped high from his horse, looked back at the moon, and slashed out a sword energy with his backhand, chasing Chen Mang away!
Chen Mang curled his lips, and a successful smile appeared on his face. His body suddenly moved three feet away, and his sharp sword aura slashed straight towards Cao Cao!
Cao Cao's pupils shrank in fear and froze in place, unable to even respond to dodge.
Seeing this, Xiahou Dun suddenly blocked Cao Cao, and his internal energy suddenly released, blocking Xu Chu with a fierce sword.
At this time, Chen Mang had already entered the flock of sheep and rushed into the tiger and leopard cavalry. In the blink of an eye, he broke through layers of defense and rushed to Cao Cao.
Xiahou Dun stepped forward to meet Chen Mang, raised the big knife in his hand, and slashed at Chen Mang's forehead with one knife.
Almost at the same time, Xu Chu also came behind Chen Mang and swept his sword toward Chen Mang's waist!
Under the attack on both sides, Chen Mang did not retreat but advanced instead. He crossed the three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand and exerted force under his feet, rushed towards Xiahou Dun on the war horse, and flew him ten feet away!
Xiahou Dun squirted out a mouthful of blood and fell into the army behind him.
At this time, the eight hundred soldiers from the personal guard camp had already broken through the defense of the tiger and leopard cavalry. Wherever they passed, there were corpses everywhere, and they almost arrived under Cao Cao's banner in the blink of an eye.
Xu Chu stopped Chen Mang and fought with him. He suddenly took two steps back and vomited blood. Xu Chu knew that he could not stop Chen Mang for long, so he quickly turned around and shouted: "Lord, run away!"
"retreat!"
Seeing Chen Mang so brave, Cao Cao was already scared to death. He shouted, and turned his horse and ran away under the escort of his personal soldiers.
Seeing that he was about to escape, Chen Mang shouted loudly: "The whole army pursued! The one in the red robe is Cao Cao. Capture Cao Cao and give him a reward of 30,000!"
Cao Cao looked back at the pursuers behind him, quickly took off the Hong Pao and continued to ride his horse.
Chen Mang continued to shout: "The longest beard is Cao Cao. Grab Cao Cao and give him a reward of 100,000!"
Cao Cao gritted his teeth, took out his sword, and cut off his long beard!
Chen Mang continued to shout: "The one with a head is Cao Cao. Grab him and give him a bounty of 200,000!"
Cao Cao was so scared that he was about to cut off his head with his sword.
