The army was defeated like a mountain.
A fire burned nearly 30,000 people in the Wei army to death, destroying the Wei army's fighting spirit, anger, and morale. Standing on the top of Duyang City, Zhang Xiu looked at the defeated Wei army and the discipline of their retreat. I saw the flags of the Wei army being thrown around, all running back for their lives.
It's exactly this: look at its chaos and flags, and chase them away.
So, Zhang Xiu turned around and descended from the city, ordered his soldiers to break open the gate of Duyang City, and prepared to lead the army to fight out. It turned out that the inner gate of Duyang City was blocked by wooden boards, but it was covered with a thick layer of soil on the outside, which made the Wei army mistakenly think that it was filled in.
The earth walls are hardened and brittle after being roasted by high temperatures.
When Sergeant Jing dug with a tool, the soil above quickly cracked and fell down. The soldiers quickly removed the wooden planks and opened the city gate.
The city gate was opened, and Zhang Xiu led the cavalry army to fight out.
The current battle situation is within Pang Tong's plan. After the fire, the Wei army is bound to be defeated and retreat. This is also the best time to completely defeat the Wei army. As long as he leads a large group of cavalry to rush out quickly, it is best to catch up with Cao Cao. The Chinese army defeated it.
Zhang Xiu pinched his horse's belly with a sullen face and charged forward at the maximum charging speed. However, when he looked around, he did not see Cao Cao's banner. The terrified Wei troops everywhere abandoned their helmets and fled.
"It seems that Cao Cao has escaped long ago!"
Zhang Xiu thought to himself that if he urged his horses to pursue him even faster, he would surely catch up with Cao Cao's central army. The Wei troops they passed either knelt down and surrendered, or were killed by Wei troops or trampled to death by horse hooves.
Fifty thousand cavalry were like a rushing torrent, shaking the ground and shaking the stones.
After less than half an hour of pursuit, Zhang Xiu suddenly felt something was wrong.
When they first left the city, the Wei army was everywhere fleeing for their lives. At least there must have been nearly ten thousand people. However, as they pursued forward, the defeated deserters of the Wei army suddenly disappeared. On the way of pursuit, traces of the retreat could be seen. There are no more discarded armors, swords and broken military flags.
"emperor!"
Pang De, who was next to him, frowned and glanced ahead, "The army should have been defeated thousands of miles away. Why are the rear and central armies of the Wei army missing? Even if they retreat, they can't retreat so fast!"
Zhang Xiu squinted his eyes slightly, looked ahead and started thinking.
Suddenly, he was startled.
He remembered four words: pull out the car, general.
While Cao Cao abandoned his chariot to protect his commander, he also arranged for the next desperate resistance. The nearly 10,000 Wei troops who were defeated in front were the chariots that Cao Cao gave up. If Zhang Xiu wanted to further gain the upper hand, he must make a further killing move. This killing move was to lead the army out of the city.
And Cao Cao had already prepared his pockets waiting for him to leave the city.
The purpose of Zhang Xiu's departure from the city was to defeat the Wei army and end the battle quickly so that the Chu army hidden in Xiangyang would have no possibility of action, and at the same time draw out Xi Zhicai's troops. Therefore, you must go out of the city to fight quickly and never delay. Liu Bei is not a vegetarian.
Now that Cao Cao has a back-up, how dare Zhang Xiu pursue him again?
He ordered the army to turn back to the city.
"Hahaha!"
At this moment, Cao Cao's loud laughter sounded not far away, "Zhang Boyuan! You are here, are you in a hurry to go back?"
Zhang Xiu turned around and saw a dense line of powerful cavalry in front of him. Many cavalry appeared on both sides at the same time, as if they were trying to surround Zhang Xiu. There were 50,000 cavalry following Zhang Xiu out of the city. It was impossible for the Wei army to swallow them all, but they could cut up and surround the 50,000-strong army and capture only the part where Zhang Xiu was.
"I didn't expect you, Cao Aman, to have such a hand!" Zhang Xiu smiled lightly.
Over the years, Jingwei and Jingwei have never had a serious face-to-face war, and most of the battles between the two sides were dominated by intrigues. In the past, Zhang Xiu did not dare to face Cao Cao because of his lack of strength. Now, the strength of both parties has undergone earth-shaking changes, and Zhang Xiu is full of confidence.
This battle is not only to defeat Cao Cao, but also to destroy Cao Cao.
Cao Cao smiled coldly: "You, Zhang Boyuan, are so ruthless. I, the great Wei Dynasty, had nearly 30,000 sons burned to death by you. Your sins are enough to send you to the eighteenth level of hell!"
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Xiu laughed loudly: "You dared to dig up the imperial mausoleum in order to raise money and food, and you also openly established the Mojin School Captain. You are the one who has lost your conscience and will go to the eighteenth level of hell after your death. Presumably your two sons His death is also retribution for digging up the imperial tomb!"
After being poked in the painful spot, Cao Cao's face changed drastically: "Stop using your words!" He looked around: "Who dares to take it down!"
Dian Wei had been holding back his anger for a long time, and before Cao Cao finished speaking, he rushed out first.
Seeing that Dian Wei was coming to kill him, Zhang Xiu looked at Pang De and said, "Do you dare to fight me, Ling Ming?"
The reason why Pang De was named was because he was afraid that Gao Shun, who had become famous after killing Xu Chu in Duyang City, would rush out. Dian Wei and Pang De were both first-class generals, and Gao Shun was at the very end of the first class. How could he be Dian Wei's opponent? Although he would not lose his life, the unfavorable first battle would affect his morale.
Looking at it from the corner of his eye, he realized that he had been worrying too much and Gao Shun had no intention of moving at all.
Pound: "I am willing to cut off his head and present it to the emperor!"
After that, he took the knife and slapped the horse to kill.
The battles between the two sides were full of energy. Dian Wei wanted to avenge the deaths of several of his personal guards, and Pang De wanted to take this first blood in front of Zhang Xiu. In terms of strength, Pang De should be a little worse than Dian Wei. However, he had just experienced a siege battle and was roasted by the fire for several hours. After withdrawing from Duyang City, he ran wildly to catch up with the large army. His physical strength was already extremely high. Consumed.
The two sides fought for forty or fifty rounds, and Dianwei's combat power due to his anger weakened, and he gradually turned from offense to defense, becoming passive. Pang De had been recharging his energy for a long time, and now he was getting more and more courageous as he fought. The attacks surrounded Dian Wei like a storm, giving him no chance to breathe.
Cao Cao, who was behind, saw that Dian Wei was exhausted and quickly raised money to withdraw his troops.
How could Pound let him leave?
After hearing the golden sound of the Wei army's camp, Pang De attacked even more vigorously. His sword was swung in his hand and left a trail of afterimages, forcing Dian Wei to have no chance to retreat and had to defend in a hurry.
Cao Cao was so angry that he said: "Young people don't have martial ethics! The whole army obeys the order and comes to kill me!"
So Cao Hong, who was standing next to him, led the tiger and leopard cavalry to kill the Jing army.
Zhang Xiu saw the Wei army dispatched and ordered without hesitation: "Beat the drum! Kill the enemy!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The shocking drum beat sounded.
Under the leadership of Qin Zhen, the Jingqian army attacked the Wei army.
The Hubao Cavalry and the Jingqian Army were both the strongest cavalry forces on both sides of Jing and Wei, and the dispatch of both parties represented the full outbreak of the war.
The Wei troops on the left and right sides immediately attacked and attacked.
Wei Yan led his troops and horses to kill to the left, Gao Shun led the temporarily allocated cavalry to kill to the right. The Chinese army still had 10,000 soldiers and horses to protect Zhang Xiu's safety. Among the 10,000 soldiers and horses, three Thousands of armored cavalry, this was Zhang Xiu's confidence to challenge Cao Cao when he was surrounded.
