Cao Cao endured the pain that was about to burst in his head, gritted his teeth, and instantly tightened his grip on the horse's reins, with veins popping out on the back of his hands.
The whole person looked ferocious and painful.
Cao Cao's eyes were bloodshot, suppressing the pain of the waves of attacks, and said quickly: "Retreat north with all your strength, don't worry about Wan County, leave Wan County first, and get rid of Lu Xuan's pursuers."
The order was given and the army continued to retreat.
Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Dian Wei, Ma Chao and others all withdrew one after another. However, when these people retreated, they did not retreat in a swarm. Instead, they cooperated with the tiger and leopard cavalry to cover the retreat of the army and fought and fought. retreat.
This is the real elite.
If it were Cai Mao's troops, they would be eager for the wind to blow under their feet when they fled one by one. It would be impossible to fight and retreat while still maintaining the combat effectiveness of the army.
Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Huang Zhong and other generals led their troops in pursuit.
Beside them, the cavalry followed.
Even though the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were elite, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was not charging into the formation, but was coordinating the evacuation of Cao's army. Therefore, when the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was coordinating the retreat, some of them were killed by Zhang Liao, Xu Chu and Huang Zhong.
A large number of cavalry continued to cover up and kill, entangled a large number of Cao's troops, and the situation was very unfavorable to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao looked back at the situation behind him. Lu Xuan's army was coming, and he could not effectively stop it. Especially since Cai Mao, an idiot, surrendered, Wan County, Nanyang County, was completely controlled by Lu Xuan.
Cao Cao shook his head and sighed, and retreated quickly, quickly evacuating the county. Even so, the cavalry led by Xu Chu, Huang Zhong and others still pursued Cao Jun, making it impossible for Cao Cao to get rid of him for a while.
By now, generals such as Dian Wei, Ma Chao, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong have given up coordinating with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and ordered the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to retreat with all their strength. They dare not stay to coordinate Cao's infantry for fear of being entangled and unable to evacuate.
When Cao Cao galloped, he saw the cavalry chasing him getting closer and closer, and saw that there were fewer and fewer people around him. Especially when he suddenly discovered that Huang Zhong, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao and others were getting closer, Cao Cao felt anxious in his heart. He became more and more nervous.
Xu Chu had excellent eyesight, and when he was chasing after him, he suddenly saw Cao Cao.
He noticed the big flag next to Cao Cao.
This is the most representative.
Xu Chu roared and roared: "Cao Cao's commander's flag is in front. Where the commander's flag is, that's where Cao Cao is. Kill Cao Cao and capture him alive."
"Capture Cao Cao alive."
The chasing cavalry roared loudly.
The shouts spread all around.
The cavalry and infantry under Lu Xuan's command were all high-spirited. So far, they have won this battle and can finally catch up directly.
Lu Xuan's cavalry roared and sprinted to catch up, and Xu Chu sprinted even faster to further close the distance.
As a result, Cao Cao became increasingly nervous.
Fortunately, Cao Cao had rich experience in being chased, and his experience in retreating was no worse than Liu Bei's. He made a decisive decision: "Throw away the flag immediately, don't carry it anymore, just retreat."
Cao Cao didn't care about the morale of the army now, so he threw away the flag as soon as he threw it. After all, the morale of the army had already collapsed.
Throw away the handsome flag and strive to travel light and simple.
The soldiers responsible for carrying the flag decisively threw away the flag, and Cao Cao and his party continued to evacuate.
Xu Chu's eyes fell on Cao Cao again, and he further shouted: "The one wearing golden armor is Cao Cao. Chase him and capture Cao Cao alive."
"The one wearing golden armor is Cao Cao. Capture Cao Cao alive."
The soldiers shouted again.
Cao Cao heard Xu Chu's words again and heard the shouts of Lu Xuan's soldiers, and secretly scolded Xu Chu for being too deceptive.
Fortunately, he looked at Xu Chu and thought he was a good guy.
He actually kept staring at him.
Cao Cao took off his golden armor while galloping, threw it directly on the roadside, and then continued to retreat. He was panicked and aggrieved, but Cao Cao was unwilling to stop.
Once they stop, they will definitely be surrounded by Lu Xuan's army.
Cao Cao could only continue to evacuate.
Xu Chu chased after him, picked up the golden armor that Cao Cao had thrown away, and noticed that Cao Cao had a big beard under his chin. He shouted again: "The man with the big beard is Cao Cao. Capture Cao Cao alive."
The soldiers continued to send messages and shout.
Lu Xuan's army kept roaring and continued to pursue further.
Cao Cao originally had a splitting headache. When he heard Xu Chu's words and found that the pursuers from behind were approaching further, he broke out in a cold sweat. He raised his sword and cut off the beard under his chin, and said loudly: "Retreat quickly, speed up the retreat." .”
Dian Wei held up his iron halberd and said loudly: "My lord, please retreat first. I am humble enough to go to the back of the palace to stop him."
"No!"
Cao Cao glared angrily and said loudly: "As long as we escape, we can gather the fleeing soldiers and have a chance to stand up. Now if we go to the back of the palace to stop them, we will die."
Ma Chao, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others were all extremely angry.
They all felt humiliated.
Everyone gritted their teeth and retreated, leaving the people behind to chase and kill them.
As they retreated along the way, there were fewer and fewer soldiers around Cao Cao. Although there were still some Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers following him, most of the main infantrymen fled.
Cao Cao was approaching despair.
Are you really going to lose?
Could it be captured by Lu Xuan's people like this?
Cao Cao was unwilling to give up and suddenly urged his horses to go with all their strength. When Cao Cao retreated quickly, he saw smoke and dust suddenly rising on the official road ahead, and a cavalry galloping towards him. Behind the cavalry were a large number of infantry.
The army advanced, smoke and dust were everywhere, and the crowd surged up in black.
"Cao Sikong, Liu Bei is here to help."
From the army at the front, the soldiers suddenly shouted in unison.
Cao Cao was evacuating quickly. When he heard the shouts from the front and saw the troops appearing in front, he immediately became excited. He immediately raised his sword and shouted loudly: "Our reinforcements are coming, fight them back." .”
He directly changed direction and took the initiative to attack.
After Dian Wei, Ma Chao, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Ang and others heard this, they all did the same and quickly counterattacked. Coupled with the high speed of Liu Bei's army, in the blink of an eye, the cavalry rushing at the front had merged with Cao Cao's army.
Liu Bei took Zhang Fei into the battle and quickly began to charge.
Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, and Xu Chu were covering up the kill. They were rushing fast. The three men were mainly followed by cavalry. A large number of infantry were still behind. It would take some time to catch up.
Huang Zhong was experienced and a veteran. Although he could not tell how many people Liu Bei had brought, seeing Cao Cao here, he was unwilling to retreat, so he looked at Zhang Liao and said loudly: "General Zhang, the army led by my lord is behind. A large number of infantry will follow and come to kill us. Let's hold off Cao Jun and Liu Bei first. What do you think?"
"Okay, hold on."
Zhang Liao also answered decisively.
Xu Chu said nothing and just followed Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao. The three of them led the cavalry to attack the army brought by Liu Bei.
