When the old man heard Dian Wei's words, he looked suddenly enlightened.
"Back to General, are you asking Uncle Wu and the others? I thought you knew.
Yesterday, I heard them say that they had to go on a mission at night. They left at the fourth watch and have not come back yet.
And the old man was woken up by the movement outside the window yesterday and found that there were quite a few people leaving the city, all leaving through the north gate!
General, are you back from completing your mission? Are you with Uncle Wu? It just so happens that I should collect my rations today. If I don't come back, I won't be able to have lunch. "
After saying that, the old man looked at Dian Wei longingly.
Huang Zhong next to him glanced at him and understood what the old man was thinking.
Immediately ordered the sergeant to take off two bags of rations from the horse and stuff them into the old man's arms.
This is what Huang Zhong's cavalry carries in case of emergency when they go out to fight.
One bag can provide enough food for one person for three days. Two bags were given at one time. Based on the old man's appetite, it would be enough for him to eat for at least ten days.
The old man took the heavy rice bag and immediately burst into laughter, praising Huang Zhongdianwei for being much more generous than the Uncle Wu he mentioned.
¡°I couldn¡¯t help complaining that Uncle Wu would only give him three to five days of rations at a time, and sometimes he would deduct part of it because the streets were not clean.
Dian Wei became more and more confused as he listened, so he quickly interrupted the talkative old man and asked him about Cao's army's movements last night.
The old man frowned and thought for a long time, and then finally said: "Oh, I remembered it. I couldn't sleep last night, and the soldiers who passed by said the most about Beiyuan and Yiju.
I wonder if this is where they are going! "
"Beiyuan? Not good!" Dian Wei and Huang Zhong exclaimed in unison.
Because they know Beiyuan, which is also Cao Cao's last line of defense.
Originally, all the generals believed that Cao Cao would only flee back there and continue to resist after he was defeated.
Who would have thought that Cao Jun would be so decisive and abandon the city before the siege officially started!
In this way, what Dian Wei heard and saw along the way was finally coherent.
Even Cao Hong¡¯s previous behavior of deliberately provoking but only defensively delaying has been explained.
Looking at it, Cao Hong was completely delaying time, and the purpose was to cover Cao Cao's retreat.
Thinking of this, Dian Wei couldn't help shouting in annoyance: "I am really stupid, I should have seen Cao Hong's conspiracy long ago!
It¡¯s a good thing now. After being delayed by him for so long, who would have thought that the thief Cao would run away.
No, I have to chase them back! "
As he said, Dian Wei immediately turned around and ran out of the city, preparing to catch up with Cao Jun.
Huang Zhong also wanted to persuade him to calm down and not to fall into an ambush by the enemy.
However, Dian Wei would not listen. He galloped his horse and whipped his horse, leading three thousand soldiers and horses and quickly rushed towards the north plain.
But it is said that at this moment, several temporary floating bridges have been built on the muddy water at the junction of the West Highland and the North Highland.
The soldiers were crossing the river in an orderly manner, and Cao Cao had already arrived at the North Plateau on the other side of the river and was observing and commanding on the bank.
At this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from the distance.
When Cao Cao heard this, he was surprised and said, "Could it be that Zi Lian is back?" He quickly stood on tiptoe and looked over.
As the soldiers and horses approached, Cao Cao's face became increasingly ugly.
Because he saw that the soldiers and horses charging from the opposite side were completely different from his own in terms of color of clothes and flags.
Not only Cao Cao, but Shi Huanxunsheng, who had not yet crossed the river, and had been staying at the back, also changed his face instantly when he saw it.
"The enemy is attacking, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are ready to fight!"
Shi Huan shouted loudly, and the last few thousand soldiers hurriedly took action and made defensive movements.
Although this shout alerted the tiger and leopard cavalry at the rear, it shocked the soldiers who were crossing the river.
Ordinary soldiers did not know how many people were coming from the other side. When they heard the enemy's attack, they immediately recalled the painful experience of being defeated repeatedly in the past few days.
The soldiers were all ordinary people, and no one wanted to die, so they rushed across the river.
In this way, several pontoon bridges were crowded with water in an instant.
The pontoon bridge is not wide to begin with. Someone maintained order before and it was able to pass smoothly.
Now all the soldiers rushed forward in a swarm, and it was filled instantly, and some people were squeezed into the river.
This is the turn of summer and autumn, and we have experienced many rains.After water accumulation, the volume of muddy water has reached its maximum and the water flow is turbulent.
Some of those who fell in had no time to struggle and were already swept away by the water.
So, ghosts cried and wolves howled, and all kinds of sounds filled both sides of the muddy water.
The more this happens, the more impatient the soldiers who have not yet crossed the river become, and the harder they work to crowd the river.
At the same time, Dian Wei¡¯s pursuers finally arrived here.
Shi Huan unceremoniously led the tiger and leopard cavalry to meet them, covering the food and grass and baggage across the river.
The two of them did not hesitate and used their whole life's strength as soon as they came up.
As a general of the Central Guard Army, Shi Huan was also very powerful in terms of force, so he was not at a disadvantage during the fight with Dian Wei.
But Dian Wei came to pursue the opponent and destroy their retreat attempt. How could he continue to fight with them for a long time like before?
Dian Wei immediately ordered his soldiers to charge and kill together, vowing to keep Cao's army here.
Although Cao Cao still has 70,000 to 80,000 troops at this moment, even if he has not crossed the river, there are at least 20,000 people still in the western plains.
Dealing with Dian Wei, who only had 3,000 troops, should be said to be a piece of cake.
However, now Cao Jun¡¯s mind is all about how to quickly escape from the Western Plains and avoid Liu Ke¡¯s army.
Except for the two thousand tiger and leopard cavalry led by Shi Huan, no one returned to resist Dian Wei.
Instead, everyone rushed onto the pontoon for fear of missing the last bus.
In this way, Cao's army, which was far more numerous than the opponent, became weak.
Dian Wei, however, felt as if he was in a deserted place, charging and killing among Cao's troops wantonly.
It even broke through the blockage of Shi Huan's rear army and rushed straight towards the other retreating Cao troops.
When the soldiers saw this, they were so frightened that they fled everywhere. For a while, the entire beachhead was on their backs.
When Dianwei saw two of the pontoon bridges being transported with grain and grass, he immediately rushed over to destroy them.
Seeing this, Shi Huan rushed over to stop him, but he had already finished.
After one of the pontoon bridges was chopped down by Dian Wei and his troops, the ropes that tied it were immediately spread apart.
The floating bridge was instantly broken into sections and floated away with the current.
As for the baggage of grain and grass passing on the bridge, it naturally either floated away or fell into the river.
When Shi Huan saw this, he became furious and shouted: "Dian Wei, I swear to kill you!" He raised his sword and rushed over.
Shi Huan was stimulated by the sight in front of him, and his potential exploded. He actually forced Dian Wei away and saved another pontoon bridge.
However, Cao Jun also saw the scene where Dian Wei destroyed the pontoon just now.
They were afraid that Dian Wei would continue to destroy it, so they became more and more anxious. The pontoon bridge became more crowded and the traffic speed dropped significantly.
