"Brother, leave quickly!"
After Cao Hong stabbed an enemy soldier to death with one shot, he immediately turned around and yelled at Cao Cao.
But Cao Cao remained unmoved, looking at the messy battlefield with his expression extremely depressed.
The soldiers under his command were already in chaos, and the coalition soldiers in the distance were scrambling for their lives. The sounds of fighting in his ears, the wailing beside him, and the corpses scattered on the ground all made Cao Cao feel in a daze.
Failed, failed again...
And it was a disastrous failure!
Just now, Cao Cao learned of the death of his best friend Bao Xin. Lu Bu's head was hung behind the red rabbit's butt, and his eyes were wide open.
That good friend who had a kind nature and had always firmly supported him disappeared forever.
Looking at myself again, let alone avenging him, it is not known whether she can survive.
At this time, Cao Cao's mood was as sad as when he was defeated in Bianshui, and there was no sparkle in his eyes.
"Brother, leave quickly!"
Cao Hong felt anxious when he saw that Cao Cao was still delaying to break through the encirclement, so he quickly shouted again.
"Leave?" Cao Cao laughed miserably, "More than a hundred thousand troops have been defeated, where else can we go..."
Cao Cao shouted: "Go to Xingyang and meet Duke Xuande!"
Upon hearing this name, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up.
This sentence really wakes up the dreamer.
Yes, there is also Liu Bei!
Although Liu Bei only has more than 20,000 people in his hands, his combat power is far from comparable to that of the jujube princes. Since the expedition, he has won every battle, not to mention having a great talent like Zhang Ziyi under his command.
Thinking of the young man in white who always had a faint smile on his face, Cao Cao felt a sense of relief in his heart.
Zhang Ziyi is a man of great intelligence and can do anything against him. He will surely defeat Thief Dong!
"Let's go and fight back to Xingyang, we still have hope!"
Cao Cao roared, grabbed a spear from the hands of his soldiers, and prepared to fight the enemy personally.
Seeing Cao Cao cheer up again, Cao Hong's face showed a hint of joy. But before he could be happy for long, he heard a loud shout behind him.
"The thief shall die!"
Cao Hong turned around and saw that it was Xiliang Military Academy Captain Wang Fang who had arrived.
"Yuan Rang, you and Zixiao will protect your brother and go first, while Miaocai and I will stay behind!"
Cao Hong roared and faced him with his sword.
"good!"
Xiahou Dun agreed, and together with Cao Ren, he protected Cao Cao and began to break out.
Although Wang Fang and Fan Chou are also Xiliang Military Academy lieutenants, compared with Li Jue and Guo Si, they are weaker in terms of personal force and leadership ability. In addition, they only have 20,000 people under their command, so Cao Cao does not have too many troops. huge pressure.
In contrast, Zhang Miao and others who faced Li Jue and Lu Bu later had a much worse situation.
First, Zhang Chao was beheaded, and then Lu Bu beheaded Bao Xin. At this time, only Yuan Yi was left beside Zhang Miao.
He didn't even have time to feel heartbroken for his brother, so he quickly ran away with Yuan Yi.
Fortunately, Zhang Miao's nearly 100,000 troops, even if they fled, would be enough to mess up the battlefield, and Li Jue and Lu Bu would not be able to pinpoint their positions.
As for Liu Dai and others on the other side, the situation cannot be said to be good or bad.
As early as the first moment the army retreated, Liu Dai took Qiao Mao and Kong Niao and fled for their lives.
Although the defeat has been decided, he cannot die here.
But Zhang Xiu was unwilling to let them escape so easily, and kept chasing after them.
When he was surrounded just now, Zhang Xiu fought extremely hard. Now that the situation was reversed and he had the opportunity to beat the drowned dog, how could he let go of this opportunity.
On the contrary, Dong Zhuo, although he personally led the army into the battlefield, did not take the lead and only commanded the army to pursue the Kwantung Allied Forces.
"The Kwantung bandits are nothing more than that!" Dong Zhuo sneered and ordered, "The bandit army has been defeated. Send my order to the whole army to pursue and annihilate the bandit army. Anyone who captures the head of the Kwantung bandits will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and a title. Baihuhou!"
The 160,000-strong army has been defeated, and now is the time to pursue them. Dong Zhuo no longer had any scruples and ordered the entire army to pursue them wildly.
…
The battlefield is only twenty miles away from Xingyang, and even shorter than Liu Bei's troops who are ambushing.
So as early as more than an hour after the defeat of the coalition forces, Zhang Fei's troops got the news.
It has to be said that even Zhang Heng miscalculated this time.
He knew that the Kwantung Allied Forces would be defeated, but he did not expect to lose so quickly.
According to Zhang Heng's idea, the 160,000-strong army, not to mention a long-term confrontation with Dong Zhuo, could still make plans and persist for two or three days without any problem.
But who would have thought that we would set out in the morning and come back defeated in the evening.
So even Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment before he reacted when he received the news.
I couldn't understand it, but I was shocked.
"The army of 160,000 was defeated like this?"
Zhang Fei looked at the soldiers who were delivering the order, somewhat doubtful.
"General, this is what I saw with my own eyes!" the soldier quickly replied with his fists clasped.
Zhang Fei nodded, "Where are the defeated troops now?"
"It's less than ten miles away."
"So close!" Zhang Fei said in surprise, "Hurry, cross the river and pass the news to Wenyuan on the other side, and then go to Guoting to inform the second brother of the news! Then rush to Xingyang and tell the brother and Ziyi."
"As you command!"
The soldier clasped his fists, mounted his horse and left.
Zhang Fei then ordered: "Send the order, the whole army is ambushing on both sides of the road, just waiting for my order, they will take advantage of the chaos to kill these Xiliang brats! Remember, don't make a sound, don't let the enemy The army discovered us in advance."
"As you command!"
After the soldiers received the order, they immediately turned around and executed it.
…
The night is as cold as water.
In this era, without all kinds of neon lights, the night would be extremely dark. Even though the moon is very bright tonight, it still cannot illuminate the earth like the sun.
After Zhang Fei's men set up an ambush, about half an hour later, there was a sudden sound in front of them, followed immediately by the sound of horse hooves.
The coalition forces were defeated and fled all the way, and the Xiliang army pursued them all the way. Both sides had no time to breathe. Although it was night, they had no chance to light torches.
As the sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, Zhang Fei could already hear the sounds of crying and fighting mixed in with it.
"coming soon!"
Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows and said excitedly.
As he finished speaking, several figures suddenly appeared in front of him. They were the first batch of soldiers to escape the battlefield during the war.
These people were clever and retreated immediately when they saw something was wrong, finally saving a life.
However, they did not dare to stay at all. They were thinking of escaping back to Xingyang as soon as possible. Naturally, they did not notice Zhang Fei's troops ambushing on both sides.
Zhang Fei would not pay attention to these people and let them escape.
After a while, the number of people on the official road gradually increased, and the noise became louder.
Finally, a column of cavalry rushed out, it was Zhang Miao and Yuan Yi who were fleeing at the front.
It was impossible to see the road clearly in the dark night, and Zhang Miao was eager to escape. He didn't care about the soldiers fleeing on foot in front of him, and rushed over on horseback.
In an instant, dozens of soldiers died tragically under the hoofs of Zhang Miao and his party.
They were indeed clever and escaped the massacre by the Xiliang army, but in the end they died at the hands of their own lord, which seemed extremely absurd.
"Quick, faster, the enemy will catch up soon!"
Zhang Miao shouted loudly as he ran away, his tone full of impatience.
Hearing this, Zhang Fei sneered in the dark with an expression full of disdain.
With a man like this commanding an army of more than 100,000, it is not surprising that he would be defeated.
After Zhang Miao and others passed by, Lu Bu's pursuers followed closely.
The Bingzhou cavalry was slightly inferior to the Xiliang cavalry in terms of charging ability, but it was slightly better in speed. In addition, Lu Bu was fighting Zhang Miao at the rear, so he was the first to catch up.
Although Zhang Fei was not able to participate in the last battle at the top of the city, he already knew Lu Bu's name and wanted to rush out and fight him after hearing the news.
But then I thought about it, more than 100,000 troops were defeated, and these were just the vanguard. If I rushed forward at this time, I was afraid that I would be scattered by the enemy troops chasing behind me before I could decide the winner with Lu Bu.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fei suppressed the fighting spirit in his heart and waited patiently for the arrival of the large forces from the rear.
Following Lu Bu were Liu Dai and others. This time the number of people was much larger than before, and it was almost endless.
It was Zhang Xiu who pursued Liu Dai closely behind him.
When Zhang Fei thought of being deceived by Zhang Xiu last time, he felt annoyed. He wanted to go out and teach this guy a lesson, but there were too many soldiers who retreated. The five thousand soldiers and horses under his command could not be used at all in the rebel army, so he I had to continue to be patient.
After Zhang Xiu passed by, it was Cao Cao's turn.
When the war started, Cao Cao was at the front, but now when he was escaping, he was naturally at the end.
The pursuers behind were none other than General Fan Chou and Wang Fang.
At this point, the first wave of chasing and fleeing troops have all arrived.
Hundreds of thousands of defeated troops fled, always at different speeds, and it was impossible to arrive in one wave. In addition, there are Xiliang soldiers chasing after them as if they are threatening their lives, and the probability of getting separated is even greater.
The fastest escaping people must be the princes, and the enemy generals must also chase and kill these people immediately, which is why the scene Zhang Fei saw now was created.
In fact, more defeated troops and pursuing troops are still far behind.
After a while, a soldier with good eyesight crawled over and whispered to Zhang Fei: "General, you can take action now."
Zhang Fei immediately glanced at the soldier.
Are you teaching me how to do something?
"General, I just took a look and there was no one behind me."
"Is there really no one left?" Zhang Fei suddenly became energetic and asked loudly.
"Hush, General, keep your voice down, don't let the enemy hear you."
Zhang Fei:......
"Okay, I'll just listen to you for once. If you see it wrong, I will twist your head off."
Zhang Fei shouted fiercely at the soldiers, and then stood up suddenly.
"Send the order, the entire army attacks!"
"As you command!"
The soldiers also stood up and clapped their fists loudly.
