Seeing that Cao Pi was angry, Sima Yi remained silent.
After Zhang Liao and the others had left, he stepped forward and tried to persuade them,
"Your Majesty, what General Wenyuan said is not unreasonable."
"Coupled with the failed ambush just now, it's really weird."
"We can't be careless!"
Cao Pi waved his hand nonchalantly,
"So what, Yuan Xi only has 20,000 soldiers and horses, and he is no match for our army."
"This opportunity cannot be missed, time will never come again, Yuan Xi must be captured today!"
Sima Yi was not a staunchly loyal minister. Since Cao Pi insisted on this, he would say nothing more.
Let us say that Cao Chun and Zhang Liao received Cao Pi's order, ordered 6,000 tiger and leopard cavalry and 5,000 cavalry respectively, and pursued Yuan's army in the direction of retreat.
After chasing for only a few miles, they discovered Yuan Jun's traces.
The two of them did not hesitate and immediately ordered an attack!
Originally, the cavalry had an absolute advantage over the infantry.
Not to mention that Cao Chun is leading the famous Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
Under the impact of Cao's cavalry, those Yuan soldiers were ruthlessly harvested and fell like wheat in autumn!
Seeing that the enemy army was so vulnerable, even Zhang Liao, who had always been cautious, gradually relaxed his vigilance.
The two men led the cavalry and charged into the middle of Yuan's army wantonly.
However, at this moment, two tripping ropes suddenly appeared out of thin air on the land ahead.
The front row of Cao's cavalry had no time to avoid it.
The war horse beneath him was tripped by the horse rope, and he fell forward.
The soldiers on the side, Seizing the opportunity, swarmed forward and hacked them to death!
Seeing this situation, Zhang Liao's heart sank, and he had an ominous premonition.
"General Zihe, something is wrong. Why don't we retreat?"
He yelled at Cao Chun.
After Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Cao Chun followed Cao Cao in raising troops.
Having spent his life as a soldier, he was aware of the approaching danger at this moment.
Because they pursued too deeply, they had lost touch with Cao Pi.
"Okay, withdraw!"
Cao Chun nodded immediately.
But now it's too late!
Seeing that Cao Jun wanted to retreat, Yuan's soldiers who were originally defeated became more motivated to fight.
They overturned the chariots used to pull grain and blocked the way of Zhang Liao and Cao Chun!
After losing mobility and being surrounded by a large number of infantry, Cao Jun's cavalry fell into a hard fight for a while!
Seeing that there was no way to retreat, Zhang Liao became anxious and said to Cao Chund,
"General Zihe, I will fight a bloody path for you. Please inform the Crown Prince immediately!"
Cao Chun knew that the situation was urgent and did not refuse, so he said in a deep voice,
"Then please leave it to General Wenyuan!"
Zhang Liao roared angrily and waved his sword vigorously, as unstoppable as a tiger descending from the mountain.
All soldiers who stood in front of him became the dead souls of his sword!
Relying on his personal bravery and strength, Zhang Liao forced his way out!
Cao Chun tightened the reins and drove the horse to jump over the debris blocking the road!
He spared no effort and ran all the way, and finally saw Cao Pi and others who had arrived late.
"General Zihe, what happened?"
Seeing Cao Chun in such a mess, Cao Pi was inexplicably uneasy.
"Reporting to the Crown Prince, there is an ambush by Yuan's army ahead, and the general will try his best to escape from the siege! General Wenyuan is in a bitter battle at the moment, and I hope the Crown Prince will go to rescue him quickly!"
Cao Chun was breathing heavily, looking quite anxious.
"What? Yuan Jun has an ambush?"
While Cao Pi was stunned, he felt a chill in his heart.
Zhang Liao was trapped in a bitter battle, and Cao Chun fought desperately. If he went through again, he would be in danger...
Sima Yi on the side saw what Cao Pi was thinking and hurriedly advised,
"Your Majesty, General Wenyuan is loyal to the Han Dynasty, we must support him!"
The meaning of his words was to remind Cao Pi.
Zhang Liao is following your order to pursue Yuan Jun.
If Zhang Liao died in battle if he refused to save him, it would not only chill the hearts of all the soldiers, but Cao Cao would not spare Cao Pi lightly after returning to Xudu!
Cao Pi suddenly woke up from a dream and quickly ordered,
"Quick, go support General Wenyuan!"
Cao Jun immediately accelerated his march and soon arrived at the battlefield.
With the arrival of reinforcements, the situation on Zhang Liao's side has stabilized.
He, Cao Zhen, Yu Jin and others who came after him cooperated with each other and suppressed Yuan Jun again.
At this moment, a dull order suddenly sounded from behind Yuan Jun.
The sound sounded extremely strange, not like the sounds made by common war drums and horns.
Before Zhang Liao and others could react, Yuan Jun retreated like a tide.
Immediately afterwards, the ground began to vibrate violently, as if thousands of troops were racing!
Cao Pi and others looked up, but their expressions changed.
I saw countless cavalry ahead, charging towards this side.
Whether it is the weapons they hold or the armor they wear, they are completely different from those of the Han people.
"Wu... Wuhuan Iron Cavalry!"
Zhang He on the side shouted out loud.
Hearing the name of the Wuhuan people, everyone felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and their hands and feet were extremely cold!
No matter how powerful the Wuhuan cavalry are, in normal times, they are confident that they can fight!
But after the fierce battle just now, both ordinary cavalry and tiger and leopard cavalry suffered heavy casualties and were exhausted.
At this time, Cao Jun's infantry formation was also somewhat scattered.
Under such circumstances, no one could imagine what would happen if they were attacked by the Wuhuan cavalry!
In history, during the Battle of Wancheng, Cao Pi was only ten years old when Boss Cao killed the three sages with one shot.
But when he saw that the situation was not good, he rode away and finally saved his life.
Seeing that the situation was not right at this time, Cao Pi gave full play to his talent!
"withdraw!"
He didn't care about the others at all, he immediately hit his horse and ran away madly towards the rear!
Even the general fled first. Although the others were willing to fight to the death, they could only retreat with him.
"Boom!"
When Wuhuan's cavalry attacked, Cao's army, without its general in command, was instantly scattered to pieces!
At the same time, Yuan Jun, who had originally retreated, also pursued him.
Under the double attack, Cao's army was defeated and had to retreat toward the rear in chaos.
Seeing that the winner had been decided, Yuan Xi, who was watching the battle from behind, was overjoyed. He smiled at the Wuhuan leader Nanlou Wang beside him and said,
"It's really thanks to King Nanlou that we were able to achieve such a great victory today!"
King Nanlou, the Wuhuan leader with braids and weird clothing style, chuckled and said,
"Young Master, you're too polite, but you Han people are too cunning."
Yuan Xi's face darkened.
Why does this sound like a curse?
He quickly changed the subject,
"King Nanlou, you should give the order not to let your army pursue us too deeply."
"Why?"
King Nanlou said with a surprised look on his face.
In his opinion, the defeat of Cao's army was the time to destroy them all in one go.
