Chapter 94: The Hero Cao Cao!
At this time, the army had no grain or fodder, all of which had been burned to ashes by a single fire. The surviving soldiers were the elite troops trained at great expense under the personal command of the eighteen vassal lords, and could be said to be loyal to the extreme. Under the pressure of having no grain or fodder and the feeling of desperation after death, these soldiers' hearts were filled with a determination to die, which can indeed be called "a desperate army must win!"
When the crowd rushed to the mouth of the valley, they heard the sound of strong and powerful horse hooves, and the eyes of the crowd were filled with sorrow and indignation, a pair of red eyes staring at the mouth of the valley!
Dada! A figure slowly appeared before the crowd, and a majestic horse with a golden armor and fiery red color walked slowly, while a person sitting on its back held a halberd upside down in one hand, with blood still dripping from the blade. As the blood fell to the ground, it transformed into plum blossoms.
Looking up, he saw that the man was holding a thick and sturdy spear with one hand, and on the spear shaft, a golden dragon coiled around it.
When they saw the familiar divine soldier, everyone's eyes were shocked! With some trembling in their hearts, they slowly made out the person on horseback.
Wearing a beast-faced helmet with a linked mail coif, a waist-buckled cuirass with a glittering lion-patterned belt, and a three-pronged purple-gold crown on his head, a gigantic and exaggerated bow appeared before their eyes. At this moment, everyone in the crowd had already figured out who it was, but they still hoped in their hearts that they were wrong!
Two beautiful pheasant tails fluttered in the wind, a lone figure holding a spear proudly rode his horse to block the path of the crowd, gazing at the defeated soldiers with an air of arrogance!
Whoosh! A strong gust of wind blows by, producing a whistling sound.
Gulp! The sound of swallowing saliva echoed in the silent air, and at this moment, everyone looked at the scarlet general in front of them with fear!
Cao Cao was shocked by the appearance of his soldiers, and if they didn't fight back at this time, then he and others would be like ants in the hands of their opponents. At this time, how could the various lords wait to be slaughtered?
"General Yu, why are you blocking the way at this time? Don't you know that everyone's enemy is Dong Zhuo right now?" At the critical moment, it was still Cao Cao who stood up and asked in a cold voice.
As soon as Cao Cao spoke, all the generals and soldiers of his army also came to their senses and were no longer in a state of panic and fear. If this allied army had been handed over to Cao Cao, it would not have ended up like this. Probably everyone would be celebrating with wine in Luoyang by now.
Qiu Shui saw the change in the enemy's army and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, secretly thinking that Cao Cao was indeed a remarkable person. With just one sentence, he changed the atmosphere of the entire army. Who knows who will win when they meet again, Lü Bu, who also understands the use of military tactics?
Bang! The majestic spear stood upright on the ground, and the overbearing Western Liang's fierce tiger gazed at the army in front with a cold voice: "Have you all forgotten who led the troops to pursue and kill without mercy?"
A single inquiry, the voice was not loud, but its momentum was inversely proportional to the sound. As soon as Autumn Water's words fell, countless soldiers in the army were trembling slightly! Cold sweat flowed straight down, tensely staring at the war god-like figure in front of them. At this time, everyone had already been scared out of their wits by the Western Liang Fierce Tiger and the Pingzhou Flying General. Such figures existed like gods from heaven, and the battlefield slaughter was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Even thinking about it now, it still felt as vivid as yesterday, existing in their minds. This kind of memory they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
Just as Cao Cao was about to respond, a soldier suddenly ran down from the top of the mountain and walked up to Cao Cao, whispering something in his ear.
Only then, after hearing the words of his dying subordinate, Cao Cao's face showed a look of shock and incredulity, leaving the other lords wondering what had happened to cause such a great change in him.
Cao Cao's face turned red, white and green in turn, like a changing mask. He took a few deep breaths, his eyes blazing with anger as he gazed at Qiu Shui and said in a cold voice: "General, you really have the guts of a tiger, daring to block the path of our army of hundreds of thousands single-handedly!"
Wow! As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, everyone in the army was shocked and whispered to each other.
Qiu Shui suddenly understood that Cao Cao must have sent someone to investigate the situation on top of the mountain when he heard the sound of fighting outside just as the big fire was about to be extinguished.
When he realized it, Qiū Shuǐ felt a wave of admiration in his heart. This Cáo Cāo was indeed formidable, being so cautious and meticulous even in such a perilous situation. No wonder he could attain his position in history. However, Qiū Shuǐ wouldn't let him off just because he admired Cáo Cāo.
"Haha! General Cao is joking, I don't have the guts of a tiger, but I regard you as nothing more than a weed!"
After the arrogant voice rose, although everyone was annoyed, they had no choice but to tolerate it. Cao Cao would not allow Qiu Shui to repeatedly strike at their morale. To know whether they could survive and walk out alive depended on the few remaining soldiers by his side. At this moment, Cao Cao stared at Qiu Shui like a venomous snake, his icy voice spitting out from thin air.
"Although the Western Liang's fierce tiger is indeed a world-renowned martial general, we still have 80,000 elite troops remaining. Do you really think one person can stop us?"
When Cao Cao's words fell, the large army behind him saw a glimmer of spirit in their eyes, tightly holding the weapons in their hands. At this time, the morale was greatly boosted. Yes, after all, there is only one person on the opposite side. Even if he has unparalleled martial arts skills and the bravery of a king, so what? It's not like even heroes like Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, didn't take his own life at Wujiang.
Indeed, Cao Cao is as expected, indeed a hero. Although Autumn Water had a hundred thoughts in her mind about Cao Cao, her face remained unchanged, still with an overbearing and cold tone: "Have you forgotten the great fire at Tiger Trap Pass, the great fire that called out last night?"
Wow! One sentence suddenly threw the entire army into chaos, and instantly everyone remembered the various military achievements of the person in front of them, remembering the two major fires they had personally experienced, a chilling feeling rose from their hearts.
At this time, Cao Cao also heard the other's words and was worried in his heart. All kinds of signs showed that this Xiliang fierce tiger was not a person who only understood bravery, but also had ghostly strategies, all of which were extremely ruthless.
Although worried that the other party still has a sinister plot, Cao Cao knew that he couldn't drag it down any longer. At this time, everyone wanted to leave the valley and had to go through Qiu Shui Pass, and the army was also out of food and grass. Even if the other party had a sinister plot, what could they do? At this point, Cao Cao had already been forced into a desperate situation.
"Haha! I thought the Hero of Western Liang was some kind of heroic figure, but it turns out he's just a smooth talker! Haha!" Cao Cao suddenly burst into loud laughter on horseback, tears almost streaming down his face.
Although Qiu Shui didn't know why Cao Cao was laughing, he couldn't help but stare at him with a cold face.
"How many soldiers are left after the big battle between General's army and Dong bandit? How much combat power is left?"
