"kill!"
But they saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each leading an army, charging towards Cao Jun like tigers descending from the mountain.
The officers and soldiers of Cao's army were caught off guard. In a hurry, they could not organize effective resistance at all!
Seeing their own army being defeated and being wantonly pursued by the enemy, even Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, who were so resourceful, could only stare for a while!
"Yuan Rang, Miaocai, Zixiao, Zilian!"
Cao Cao came to his senses and called Brother Xiahou, Cao Hong, and Cao Ren by their names.
"Please give me your orders, my lord!"
"You must hold the Solitary Talisman Festival to rectify the army immediately. Don't let Liu Bei's army become so arrogant!"
Cao Cao growled.
"The last general takes command!"
Xia Houyuan and the others did not dare to neglect, immediately took Cao Cao's talisman and left in a hurry.
The soaring fire in Wancheng reflected on Cao Cao's face, illuminating his ugly expression.
Due to poor visibility at night, even the most elite troops are difficult to control at night and chaos can easily occur.
This is why in history Gan Ning, with only a hundred cavalry, was able to gallop through Cao's camp.
However, compared to Gan Ning's hundred cavalry raiding Cao's camp, the situation tonight was even worse.
Cao's army was attacked by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!
Once they are unable to stop them, Cao Cao will only be defeated!
Let us say that Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, and Cao Ren hurried to the battlefield according to Cao Cao's instructions.
Relying on Cao Cao's talismans and the restraint of his elite guards, Cao Cao's army, which was originally in chaos, gradually restored order.
A military formation has even been organized to counterattack Liu Bei's army!
This scene fell into the eyes of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but they frowned.
Their soldiers and horses are far inferior to Cao's army. Only by taking advantage of the chaos can they have a chance to defeat Cao's army.
If Cao Jun is really allowed to form a good formation, it will be a waste!
Thinking of this, the two brothers looked at each other and led their troops to kill Xia Houyuan and the others in unison!
Cao's soldiers along the way also tried to stop them.
However, they saw the Qinglong Yanyue Sword swung and the Zhangba Snake Spear stabbing violently, and dozens of Cao's soldiers died on the spot!
The sky was dark and the battlefield was noisy.
It wasn't until Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came close that Xia Houyuan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong reacted.
They hurriedly raised their weapons and fought against Guan and Zhang!
But tonight was different from last time.
During the battle of Wancheng that day, Guan and Zhang were ordered by Zhuge Liang to fake defeat.
Tonight they were full of fighting spirit and showed their full strength.
On the other hand, Xia Houyuan and others were not Guan Zhang's opponents in the first place, and their own army was ambushed, so they were panicked.
Therefore, the two sides only fought for a few rounds. Guan Yu's broadsword struck him repeatedly, and Xiahou Dun was unable to defeat him. The spear in his hand "clanged" and fell to the ground.
Seeing the Qinglong Yanyue Sword striking at him, Xiahou Dun was shocked!
My life is at an end!
Fortunately, at this critical moment, Xia Houyuan rushed over and blocked the knife for him!
"Thank you Miaocai for saving your life!"
Xiahou Dun said in shock.
"Brother, don't be polite, let's retreat quickly!"
Xia Houyuan swung his sword and forced Guan Yu back, then said in a deep voice.
Xiahou Dun was stunned and looked aside subconsciously.
But they saw that Cao Ren and Cao Hong had been beaten so hard by Zhang Fei that they could not lift their heads and kept retreating!
Although the two of them are also famous generals in the world, they still can't get enough of Zhang Fei, a top military general who is as famous as Guan Yu and is said to be the enemy of thousands of people!
Xiahou Dun gritted his teeth and didn't even bother to pick up the weapons, so he and Xiahou Yuan turned their horses and retreated back.
Cao Hong and Cao Ren on the other side saw this and ran away!
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not pursue them, but launched a fierce attack on the remaining Cao army!
Seeing that his general was defeated, Cao's army, which had finally been organized, lost its fighting spirit again!
They all gave up resistance and followed Xiahou Dun and others to escape!
Cao Cao, who was in the rear, originally imagined that Xiahou Dun and the others could reorganize the army and regain stability, but he did not expect that the situation would collapse so quickly!
For a time, Cao Cao's army was defeated like a mountain, and even Cao Cao was trapped by the defeated army and fled towards the north!
…
The battle lasted from dusk until daybreak.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led their men to pursue Cao Jun all the way to the vicinity of Bowang Slope.
The official road from Wancheng to Bowangpo was full of Cao Jun's corpses and discarded soldiers' armor and food!
Fortunately, Xu Huang, who was in Bowangpo and was responsible for transporting grain and grass, received the news and sent troops to support him in time, and was able to temporarily repel Guan and Zhang!
Seeing the disgraced and defeated army returning home after being killed, Cao Cao, who had not slept all night, felt excited!
"Wow……"
With a mouthful of blood spurting out, Cao Cao fell directly off his horse!
"Wei Gong!"
"Wei Gong!"
Everyone around was shocked!
Fortunately, Dian Wei had quick eyes and quick hands and helped him up, so that he didn't fall off the horse!
"Winning or losing is a common thing for soldiers! As long as Mr. Wei takes care of himself, we may have a chance to make a comeback!"
Guo Jia said sincerely.
Cao Cao didn't speak, just showed a sad smile.
When he left Xudu, Yang Ling repeatedly reminded him that Zhuge Liang was full of tricks and told him to be careful!
However, he didn't take it to heart, and that's why he was defeated today!
Thinking of this, he waved to Xiahou Dun.
"Yuan Rang..."
"Please give me Duke Wei's orders!"
Xiahou Dun said quickly.
"Hurry and go to Xudu to invite Ziyi..."
After Cao Cao said this, he fainted!
"Father!"
"Wei Gong!"
Everyone was in a hurry again and hurriedly carried Cao Cao into Bowang's county town.
After the doctor accompanying the army completed the inspection and determined that Cao Cao had not rested well and was defeated again, and was so excited that he fainted, everyone was relieved.
After instructing several maidservants to take good care of Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Xiahou Dun and others all left the room.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Xia Houyuan couldn't help but said.
Without waiting for Cao Pi to reply, Xiahou Dun said,
"Of course, according to Wei Gong's wishes, he sent people to Xudu to invite the general with five senses."
"What my uncle said is absolutely true."
Cao Pi had no choice but to nod in agreement.
This was Cao Cao's order, and Xiahou Dun was the head of the Cao clan's generals. Even if he disagreed, there was nothing he could do!
…
Xudu.
Duke Wei's Mansion.
"Ziyi thinks this is appropriate for me to handle?"
Xun Yu asked.
"Xun Lingjun, just do what you want, you don't have to consider my opinion."
Yang Ling quickly shook his head.
"This is not okay."
Xun Yu said seriously,
"After all, before Wei Gong left the capital, he ordered that you and I will be responsible for all matters in the rear. How can I not ask your opinion?"
Yang Ling suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
Although Boss Cao said this before he attacked Liu Bei.
But Yang Ling had no interest in handling government affairs at all.
