Chapter 2868: Cao Qiudao fought against Kong Xuan again, Fan Li defeated Bai Qice again
Cao Qiudao still burned his internal force, and this opening would not stop until it was burned out. The strong wind formed by the strong momentum also blew away all the sand and gravel around him.
For a moment, the wind and clouds surging, and even the weather changed.
The Grand Master burns his internal energy too much. Unless he is a blind man, it is difficult to see it, and this naturally affects the soldiers on both sides.
Whether it was the Qin soldiers running at full speed or the Cao army riding a horse, they unconsciously looked around at Cao Qiu, but most of the time they could see was a red light.
Seeing this, Qin Hua, Guan Hai and others couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief while seeing this. Fortunately, they ran away in time, otherwise the aftermath of this battle might hurt them.
As for Bai Qi, this is not the first time he has seen the Grand Master burn his internal strength, but when he sees it again, he still can''t help but be shocked and quickly ordered: "The catapult formation and the first camp are all transferred, and we will go to support General Kong Xuan immediately."
Bai Qi knew that Kong Xuan was very strong, but Cao Qiudao was at the same level as him. So far, no one could resist a single opponent of the same level to burn internal strength. What''s more, Cao Qiudao is a great master of swordsmanship with stronger combat power than ordinary masters, so he had to provide support to Kong Xuan to prevent Kong Xuan from being injured by Cao Qiudao.
As for death in battle, Bai Qi knew that this was impossible. After all, if life is really in danger, Kong Xuan would definitely burn his internal force to protect himself, but this would definitely be the worst result.
Kong Xuan didn''t know Bai Qi''s actions, and he looked angry at this moment.
Kong Xuan has a very good temper and has been angry only a handful of times since he was a child. The last time he got angry, he defected because of his younger brother Kong Peng.
But no matter how good Kong Xuan had a good temper, he was still angry by Cao Qiudao''s ignorance.
He really said good things for Cao Qiu, so he said so many good things, but why did Cao Qiudao just not know the good people''s hearts? Isn''t it good to live? I have to take the initiative to die.
"Forget it, since you are seeking death, I will help you."
Kong Xuan laughed so hard that he immediately dismounted and adjusted his momentum to the peak. While the opponent''s strength had not yet reached its peak, he took the initiative to kill Cao Qiudao.
A shocking war began immediately.
Kong Xuan, who was under the peak combat power, faced Cao Qiudao, whose internal force was burning but had not yet reached its peak. In fact, Kong Xuan had the advantage. After all, Kong Xuan''s military value was 140 at this time.
But as Cao Qiudao''s combat power reached its peak, even Kong Xuan had to avoid the edge for the time being.
It’s not that Kong Xuan is much weaker than Cao Qiudao. Although Cao Qiudao is a master of swordsmanship with higher combat power, even if he burns his internal strength, his strength value cannot be much stronger than Kong Xuan of 140.
But one thing is very fatal: Cao Qiudao is basically in an infinite output state when burning internal force.
No matter how strong Kong Xuan is, he has experienced two major battles. How can he fight over Cao Qiudao in this situation?
So in the face of this situation, the smartest way is to temporarily avoid the edge and use delays to spend time until the opponent''s skills are exhausted.
Cao Qiudao''s original intention was to force Kong Xuan to burn his internal force after burning his internal force, so that Kong Xuan would withdraw from the Central Plains War after the war and let the other party waste several years of precious time to recover.
But he never expected that even if he burned his internal strength, his combat power had reached its peak. It was just a little embarrassed, and he did not force Kong Xuan to burn his internal strength.
The most surprising thing is that Kong Xuan was able to fight against the grandmaster who burned internal energy, even if it was just defense and dodge, which was already quite rare.
Bai Qi was also shocked when he saw this scene. In his opinion, Kong Xuan was undefeated by the grandmaster who burned his internal strength alone, which was much more shocking than suppressing the three generals Yin Shou, Dan Tai Yu and Xiahou Yuan.
"Confucian Confucius is so powerful. Now Li Cunxiao has an opponent."
Bai Qi thought to himself, and at the same time he was a little gloating.
Li Cunxiao, relying on his strength as the best in the world and the favor of the emperor, is simply crazy and does not take anyone seriously except a few people.
Although Li Cunxiao has never made any other big mistakes except for the big mistake of losing Hangu Pass, he has never made any small mistakes. However, he is the best in the world, and no one dares to say about him, and His Majesty the Emperor also indulged him.
Now there is a Kong Xuan coming to threaten his position as the best in the world, which is just right for him to hit him, which makes him feel a little crisis.
"Reported to the Governor, all three thousand first camps have been in place, but only three catapults have been transferred." Qu Yihui reported.
The catapult cart is relatively bulky and cannot be transported in a short period of time, but the crossbowman who climbs the camp first can do it, so it is better to complete the transfer so quickly after three thousand climbs the camp first.
"Although there are not many three fights, General Kong Xuan did not show any decline, so time should be enough."
After saying that, Bai Qi instructed again: "Qu Yi, please keep an eye on it yourself. Once the situation changes or General Kong Xuan is exhausted, immediately provide firepower support."
"No."
Looking at Qu Yi''s departure back, Bai Qi nodded and then led his army to pursue him.
Bai Qi couldn''t help the battle between Kong Xuan and Cao Qiudao, and he gave him all the support. Now he not only wanted to pursue Cao''s army, but also took down Dingtao City.
What Bai Qi didn''t know was that because of his thrust, the battle between Kong Xuan and Cao Qiudao was not fair. Otherwise, the legendary battle between Kong Xuan would be even higher by resisting the burning internal force at the same level.
In order to reverse the situation, Cao Cao gathered all the cavalry on the Western Front together to use it.
A full of 15,000 cavalry, this is undoubtedly an extremely powerful force. However, the wars encountered are either siege battles or Longmen Formation, which has restrained cavalry, and the cavalry''s advantage has not been exerted at all.
However, in terms of retreat, the Cao army''s cavalry fully utilized the cavalry''s speed advantage to the fullest. One of the basic training programs of Qin army''s infantry is short-range charge, requiring soldiers to run for three kilometers at full speed when on the battlefield.
This project does not seem difficult, but after the soldiers run three kilometers at the fastest speed, the physical decline caused by the soldiers will definitely affect their combat effectiveness.
Bai Qi naturally knew this, but as Cao Cao was about to run away, he didn''t care about so much and directly ordered the entire army to attack at full speed, which also caused the originally neat Qin army formation to collapse instantly.
Although the 50,000 Qin troops ran away at full speed, how could they run with two legs than four legs?
Therefore, no matter how fast the Qin soldiers ran, they could only fall behind and eat dust. Not only did they not catch up with the Cao cavalry, but the distance was further and further.
"General, you can''t catch up. What should I do?" Liao Hua said anxiously.
When Bai Qi heard this, he retorted in anger: "If you can''t catch up, you have to chase him. Can you still withdraw your troops?"
Bai Qi has been fighting for more than ten years. Can he still not know that infantry can''t catch up with the cavalry?
The problem now is that Kong Xuan was entangled by Cao Qiudao, and the Qin army temporarily lost the ace of Kong Xuan, while the three generals Yin Shou, Dan Tai Yu and Xiahou Yuan returned to Cao''s army.
Bai Qi knew that he could not catch up, but he still wanted to let the infantry chase him. In fact, he deliberately showed his flaws to see if he could attract Cao Cao back to the decisive battle.
After all, all the cavalry of Cao''s army was free to advance and retreat. Now there are three fierce generals in hand. If you really turn back and fight to the decisive battle, on the surface, the winning rate of Cao''s army is still quite large.
Of course, this is just on the surface. If Cao Cao really returns, Cao Qiudao''s sacrifice will be in vain.
After all, Cao Qiudao''s time to burn internal energy was limited, and Bai Qi transferred another 3,000 to the camp first, and fifty catapults to support Kong Xuan.
Even if the Qin army''s infantry attacks cavalry, even if they don''t rely on the Longmen Formation, they will not be able to hold on for a few hours. However, Cao Qiudao must not be able to withstand it for so long.
In addition, Bai Qi also had 3,000 cavalrymen of Fu Youde as reinforcements, and Fu Youde was also a powerful general.
Therefore, Bai Qi gave the infantry to pursue the cavalry, which seemed to be a useless act that he had done after losing his mind, but in fact he was still digging a hole for Cao Cao.
Of course, Bai Qi was still not sure that he could handle this pit. As for the reason, it was naturally because of Fan Li around Cao Cao.
Although Cao Cao''s strategy is also very high, the more he loses, the less he can''t afford to lose. He is almost beaten by Jia Xu and Bai Qi and is now almost losing his mind.
Cao Cao, who had lost his mind, is likely not to see it, but Fan Li doesn’t. It is likely that he can still see through Bai Qi’s calculations.
I have to say that Bai Qi’s understanding of Cao Cao has reached a very high level.
After learning that Bai Qi personally led the infantry and chased him for three miles at full speed, Cao Cao had the idea of ??turning back and fighting again with Bai Qi.
After all, the Qin army chased for so far, the soldiers'' physical strength would definitely decrease. Now that they return to the decisive battle, they will not be attacked by the Qin army on both sides.
Cao''s army used cavalry to fight infantry, and the three generals of Yin Shou also came back. If this calculation is done, there is still a great chance of victory.
At the same time, Cao Cao regretted withdrawing his troops. After Cao Qiudao burned his internal strength, he should let the three generals of Yin Shou continue to participate in the war.
If the four people are combined to kill Kong Xuan first and then forcibly defeat the Qin army, wouldn’t this battle be won, and the crisis in the east will naturally be resolved.
But then I thought about it and if Kong Xuan was really forced into anger and burned his internal strength, all four of them would die at Kong Xuan''s hands.
And if the troops were not withdrawn at that time, they would definitely be attacked by the Qin army on both sides.
In that case, unless Bai Qi can be killed directly, even if Kong Xuan is killed, it will not change the outcome of his defeat.
The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more he thought about it, so that he had a headache again. The more he thought about it, the more he felt, the more he had a headache. He simply stopped thinking about it and directly raised the idea of ??returning to the decisive battle, but before he finished speaking, Fan Li rejected it.
"Military advisor, why is this?" Cao Xiu asked in confusion.
Before Fan Li could say it, Xiahou Yuan said to him: "Because Bai Qi did it on purpose, he wanted us to go back and die."
Cao Cao frowned immediately when he heard this, but after some hard thinking, he also reacted.
Seeing this, Xiahou Yuan couldn''t help but sigh in his heart. Even he could see what he could see, but the wise lord, who had always been wise, could not see it immediately. The successive defeats had a great impact on him.
Smart people like Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan can figure it out by themselves, but most of the Cao army obviously cannot, so Fan Li explained his analysis, which is basically the same as Bai Qi''s idea.
After hearing this, Cao Cao was speechless and completely extinguished the idea of ??returning to the decisive battle.
At the same time, the three thousand Qin cavalry led by Fu Youde found that after arriving at the battlefield, both sides of the enemy and us were gone, leaving only Kong Xuan and Cao Qiudao still fighting, and a large number of crossbowmen and catapults surrounded the battlefield.
Fu Youde did not stop for much, but headed south at full speed and soon joined Bai Qijun.
After seeing Bai Qi, Fu Youde immediately knelt down and voluntarily confessed, "It''s all because of the late future that Cao''s army was allowed to escape."
Although Cao''s army escaped and had no relationship with Fu Youde, he could not directly say that it was not his fault. Isn''t that Bai Qi''s problem?
As a surrendered general, Fu Youde has no foundation in the Qin Dynasty, so he dare not offend General Bai Qi. Moreover, no matter whether it has anything to do with him or not, his superiors will definitely like him who take the initiative to take responsibility. This is also a kind of wisdom of political self-protection.
