Chapter 741: The Death of Murong Ling(1/2)
"There is a team of Xianbei cavalry near Jixian!"
A tiger and leopard cavalry came back and reported to Cao Chun and Cao Ang.
Cao Ang subconsciously stood up and pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword.
"Calm down, don't be impulsive."
Cao Chun has experienced many battles and has experienced many major wars, and knows that the Xianbei cavalry is not that easy to deal with.
Whether it is the Tuoba Xianbei in the middle or the Murong Xianbei in the east, the leaders are all emperor-level figures, almost the same as Cao Cao.
Cao Chun knew this, so he was extra cautious when dealing with the Xianbei cavalry.
Cao Ang seemed a little nervous when he participated in the battle for the first time, and as soon as he entered the battle, his opponent was Murong Ba, an opponent who was on the same level as his father.
"The Tiger and Leopard Legion, the Yulin Legion is stationed in Ji County, the Shensu Legion is stationed in Shanggu County, and Yuyang County is the garrison of the defensive legion. You two go to ask General Zhou Yafu for reinforcements. This team of Xianbei cavalry may come secretly to explore the terrain and troops to facilitate the attack in the future."
Cao Chun counted his troops, which were only about 300 tiger and leopard cavalry. If he had such a little force, he might not have been able to defeat the Xianbei cavalry.
"We monitor this cavalry!"
Cao Chun turned over and Cao Ang hurriedly followed Cao Chun.
The Xianbei cavalry had already entered the sphere of influence of the Xia king of Yuyang County.
The forces of the two sides are intertwined in Yuyang County, with more than 100,000 soldiers confronting each other. From time to time, they will send cavalry into the other party's sphere of influence to investigate, or deliberately provoke small-scale conflicts.
The three major princes in the north were still preparing for war and training their troops. Before they were fully confident, no one launched a war, but conducted a test.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Xianbei Cavalry were in Yuyang County, but they were only a small-scale conflict, with casualties on both sides.
"Cao Mengde and Zhou Yafu are in the east of Ji County and west of Yuyang County. If they want to capture Ji County, they must defeat the two."
Sun Chuanting rests in a dilapidated village in Yuyang County.
Because western Liaoning and Youzhou were tense and Yuyang County was used as the battlefield, nine out of ten rooms in Yuyang County were empty.
"Father, I lead a team of cavalry to patrol around to prevent enemy cavalry from attacking."
Murong Ling took the initiative to ask Murong Ba for advice.
"Let Lin'er go with you and help each other."
Murong Ba was more cautious and asked his two sons to lead fifty cavalry respectively to be on guard around as smaller cavalry squads.
Sun Chuanting was secretly observing the talents of the Murong Xianbei tribe.
He found that the Murong Xianbei tribe had concealed its strength.
When Murong Ling observed the surrounding terrain, he had Murong Ba's style and was brave and good at fighting. If he grew up, he might have the ability to approach Murong Ba.
Murong Lin is a little worse, but it does not mean that Murong Lin is a mediocre person, but Murong Ba does not attach much importance to him.
On the periphery of the Murong Xianbei, a team of tiger and leopard cavalry approached.
Murong Lin was not very interested in observing the surrounding terrain, but said to Murong Ling: "Brother, our Xianbei tribe power is dominant in western Liaoning. As long as our Murong family unifies the Xianbei in the eastern region, it is enough to establish a kingdom without having to rely on others."
"It's not that simple. If you can easily get rid of the control of King Ming, then your father and the others will not be able to endure it all the time."
What Murong Ling saw was farther away than Murong Lin.
This made Murong Lin even more uncomfortable.
"The Xianbei people were obviously very careful. The outside of their cavalry, and light cavalry were on guard."
Cao Chun took the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, not far from Murong Ling and Murong Lin's cavalry.
He discovered an opportunity to attack Murong Ling and Murong Lin, but he needed to risk being attacked by Murong Ba.
"Our reinforcements have not arrived yet. At this time, it is quite dangerous to attack the Xianbei cavalry..."
Cao Chun was still weighing the gains and losses in his heart, whether to attack Murong Ling and Murong Lin.
Cao Ang and the three hundred tiger and leopard cavalry all looked at Cao Chun, waiting for Cao Chun to give an order.
"Look for an opportunity to destroy this cavalry!"
Cao Chun finally decided to attack.
Murong Ling and Murong Lin were patrolling, suddenly a black line appeared on the horizon!
The sound of horse hooves came from afar, and all the Xianbei cavalry looked at the horizon.
"We were discovered by King Xia's cavalry!"
Murong Ling's face changed.
At this time, they were within the sphere of influence of King Xia. Once they were discovered by King Xia’s cavalry, they might be wiped out!
"Murrong Lin, go back and report to your father immediately, we have been discovered!"
Murong Ling looked at his younger brother.
Murong Lin's face also turned pale, and he also knew that the situation of hundreds of Xianbei cavalry was quite dangerous.
"No, the number of this cavalry may be only three or four hundred. The main cavalry of King Xia has not yet discovered us."
Murong Ling distinguished the number of cavalry led by Cao Chun and Cao Ang through the sound of horse hooves.
"Three or four hundred people? Are they just patrolling cavalry squads?"
Murong Lin also reacted quickly, but it was not as fast as Murong Ling's reaction.
"Go back and tell your father quickly and let him lead the cavalry to support him. Perhaps we can defeat this cavalry team so as not to leak the news!"
Murong Ling gave an order to Murong Lin.
"Okay!" Murong Lin immediately led dozens of Xianbei cavalry to escape from the battlefield.
"Don't let them escape, otherwise we will be attacked by Xianbei cavalry!"
Cao Chun issued an order to Cao Ang.
Cao Chun didn't know who the leader of the Xianbei cavalry was. If the leader of this Xianbei cavalry was Murong Ba, which was enough to compete with Cao Cao, then Cao Ang, Cao Chun and others would be in a very dangerous situation.
"Receive the order!"
Cao Ang encountered such a situation when he first went on the war, but he had no choice but to lead a hundred tiger and leopard cavalry to pursue him.
"You guys pass this level first!"
Murong Ling led the Xianbei cavalry to stop Cao Chun and Cao Ang and seek opportunities for Murong Lin's reinforcements.
"Kill him!"
Cao Chun held a spear in his hand and directly attacked Murong Ling.
"It's not that easy to kill me!"
Murong Ling was not afraid of Cao Chun's attack.
Murong Ling's weapon was also a spear. He intersected with Cao Chun's war horse, and the spears stabbed each other at each other, but they were blocked or dodged by the other party.
As a general of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Cao Chun was unable to win for a while.
"Who are you from the Xianbei tribe?"
Cao Chun had never heard of a person among the Xianbei cavalry who had a very different force than his.
"I am the son of Murong Ba! If you want to kill me, I am afraid that you will lose your own life. Let's go!"
Murong Ling found that his younger brother had been away for a while. At this time, he led the Xianbei cavalry to escape.
If he could delay Cao Chun and Cao Ang's tiger and leopard cavalry for a little more time, then when Murong Ba's Xianbei cavalry arrived, Cao Chun and Cao Ang would die!
"Murong Ba's son..."
After hearing Murong Ling's origin, Cao Chun became even more murderous.
If Murong Ling grows up, it might pose a greater threat to the Tiger and Leopard Legion.
So Murong Ling can't be allowed to live!
"Don't chase that person, just kill the person in front of you!"
Cao Chun asked Cao Ang to give up chasing Murong Lin, but instead used all his troops to siege and hunt Murong Ling. He believed that Murong Ling would be threatened in the future and must be strangled into the cradle.
Three hundred tiger and leopard cavalry chased Murong Ling and besieged the Xianbei cavalry from all directions. The Xianbei cavalry kept falling under the rain of arrows of the tiger and leopard cavalry.
Cao Ang took off his compound bow and shot and killed several Xianbei cavalry one after another.
The horse's hooves rolled, and Murong Ba's main Xianbei cavalry might arrive at any time. The atmosphere on the battlefield was extremely tense, and Cao Ang almost held his breath.
On the other hand, Murong Lin, who went to ask Murong Ba for help, slowed down.
"If you ask your father for help later, Murong Ling may be killed by the other party..."
Murong Lin couldn't help feeling a little moved when he thought of this.
Use the power of the enemy to kill his brother. Then he may take Murong Ling's position.
That's it, Murong Lin's eyes were a bit stern.
"kill!"
