Chapter 699: Why don't you come to see me?
General Cao Ren, what should I do?
When Dong Cheng saw that Li Dao and the others had sent another 10,000 cavalry, he immediately panicked and couldn't help but ask Cao Ren about it. Maybe Cao Ren's composure made him regard Cao Ren as the backbone, or maybe he had no choice.
Yang Feng sneered secretly, the other party's 10,000 cavalry was completely the last straw that broke the camel's back. Unless Cao Ren can conjure up 10,000 cavalry, otherwise, there is still a possibility of victory? Anyway, Yang Feng doesn't believe it, but all this has little to do with him, as long as he finds an opportunity, he will immediately withdraw and leave, and he will never hesitate.
Cao Ren looked at the battlefield, his face was flat and joyless, and he said awe-inspiringly: It has come to the decisive moment, and now there is only a death battle, for the sake of the lord, kill!
With a shout, Cao Ren led the remaining soldiers to prepare to fight into the battlefield. Only, suddenly, he stopped.
Thundered!
Thundered!
Just when Li Dao was proud and Dong Cheng and Yang Feng were desperate, the sound of war horses galloping came from both sides of the battlefield, and I saw tens of thousands of cavalry charging on one side, carrying the banner of the word 'Cao', and on the other side, the same tens of thousands of cavalry, carrying the banner of the word 'Yuan'.
The banner of the word "Cao" is followed by Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, and after the banner of the word "Cao", there are several smaller flags, namely "Li", "Le", "Lu" and "Mao". When the army goes out, the commander's flag is naturally at the front, which is intended to tell others whose soldiers and horses belong to, and the flag that follows is the flag of the general of the army. Others don't know whose flags they belong to, but Cao Ren naturally understands that they are Li Dian Lejin Lu Qian and Mao Jue, Li Dian and Le Jin are infantry generals, and Lu Qian and Mao Jie are cavalry generals.
Some people thought, if it was Cao Ren, he would also use the 'Cao' flag, wouldn't it collide with Cao Cao's flag, how would others identify it.
Of course, this is certainly not a problem.
Cao Cao is the big byiss, his banner is the largest first, and no one under his command can surpass it, and if someone is like this, he may be charged with rebellion. Of course, if someone can't tell the size, that's okay, the borders of the flags are also of different colors. For example, the Son of Heaven and the Prince, usually the Son of Heaven uses a golden yellow border, also known as the Dragon Banner, while the Prince uses a bright yellow, and so on. Cao Cao is not an emperor, nor a prince, nor is he a minister of the third public level, and purple cannot be used, but it is a state pastor, and it is no problem to use red for the border. Moreover, if Cao Cao lets himself go, no one can say anything in purple. Generals like Cao Ren use green or cyan borders, and the generals go down, sorry, the level is not enough, and they don't need flags; The Son of Heaven is a five-clawed golden dragon pattern, and it is also the origin of the dragon flag; and the prince level, then use the python flag; and then the ministers according to the rank of the unicorn lion tiger and so on as the pattern, Cao Cao's flag is naturally a unicorn pattern, Cao Cao's level is not enough three dukes, but he does not pay attention to the pattern, directly skip the level of the use of the unicorn. If the pattern does not solve the problem of recognition, then it can only be used as a last resort.
Just like Cao Ren and Cao Chun, or Xiahoudun and Xiahou Yuan, their surnames are the same, their ranks are the same, and there will be no difference in the flags used. At this time, they can use just one word, for example, Cao Ren can use the word 'benevolence' flag, and Cao Chun can use the 'pure' word flag. Of course, they can also use two flags to put their names on them, so that they are not afraid that no one will know them. However, this is rare and is rarely used. After all, a person who can become a general has a reputation, and when he sees the flag, he will know who it is.
On the other hand, the banner of the word 'Yuan' is naturally Yuan Chang's soldiers and horses, and the news of Yuan Chang's visit to King Qin has long spread all over the world, and Cao Ren certainly knows it.
Behind the banner of the word 'Yuan', followed by the banner of 'Xu', 'Zhao' and 'Han', Zhao is the flag of Zhao Yun, and Han is the flag of Han Sui, these two Cao Ren naturally know. It's just that Cao Ren is confused about who this 'Xu' is. Of course, Cao Ren naturally didn't know that Xu Nai was Xu Shu, a newcomer who had joined Yuan Chang's forces not long ago.
However, now that he is still on the battlefield, he can't allow Cao Ren to think about this, and the battle is still ongoing.
General Cao Ren, I'm coming!
General Cao Ren, don't worry, these thieves will be handed over to me!
LĂź Qian and Mao Jue led 10,000 cavalry and fought straight into the cavalry formation of Xiahou Yuan and Li Wei, and then Li Dian and Le Jin led the infantry into the battlefield.
On the other hand, Xu Shu did not lag behind, and asked Zhao Yun to lead 10,000 cavalry to intercept Li Dao's last 10,000 cavalry, and Han Sui led another 10,000 cavalry to kill the advanced soldiers in the battlefield, killing Li Dao's soldiers and horses;
Where are the reinforcements!
When Li Wei and the three of them saw the reinforcements that suddenly appeared, they immediately looked panicked and angry, the situation had already turned down, or it wouldn't be long before they could reap the fruits. Who would have thought that a team of soldiers and horses would jump out halfway through, shattering their dreams alive, and anyone who replaced them would probably have the heart to vomit blood.
Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao and Youzhou Mu Yuan often have news that King Qin thinks that this is the soldiers and horses of the two of them.
Zhang Ji had been with Liu Xie for a while, and he knew about Cao Cao and Yuan Chang, but when he thought about it at this time, he regretted it a little. However, now that he has come to this point, there is no way back, he can only go all the way to the dark.
Why didn't the spies hear anything, what was the use of all this waste?
Guo Yan scolded, Cao Cao and Yuan Chang had so many soldiers and horses appearing, but the spies didn't react at all, no wonder he was so angry.
After being angry for a long time, the three of them looked at each other for a while, and finally Li Dao said: Even if they have reinforcements, what can they do, but now they are only equal to our strength, so why be afraid. Since the debut of our Xiliang army, it has been invincible, and the alliance of the princes in the past is difficult to move an inch in front of our Xiliang army, so Cao Cao and Yuan Chang's soldiers and horses, can they be stronger. Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, you and I should be in the same boat, and we must not retreat. Otherwise, if this battle fails, you and I are afraid that we will have to add swords and axes in the near future, so why not fight once?
It is precisely like this, we have no way out, we can only move forward and successfully win Liu Xie, and maybe there is still a glimmer of life. Guo Yan also seemed extremely decisive at the moment, without half a minute of hesitation.
You also know my situation, but there is still no way out.
Zhang Ji laughed at himself, Li Dao and Guo Yan naturally knew what he meant. At the beginning, Zhang Ji was also a member of the guard Liu Xie, and he should have been a hero, but later, because of the conflict with Dong Cheng and them, he rebelled against Liu Xie and united with Li Ji and Guo Yan, I am afraid that there is no way back at all, even if he takes refuge in the past now, it is estimated that Dong Cheng and they will kill Zhang Ji. Therefore, after listening to Zhang Ji's words, Li Dao and Guo Yan naturally would not doubt him.
However, what Li Dao and Guo Yan didn't know was that Zhang Ji had other ways to retreat.
As early as when he left Chang'an, Zhang Ji privately asked Jia Xu what he would do if he split with Li Dao and Guo Yan and did not have a good relationship with Liu Xie's side? Jia Xu also gave him an idea to move in the direction of Jingzhou. Therefore, during this period, Zhang Ji had already secretly sent his henchmen to Jingzhou to build a good front station, and once he failed, he could occupy a city in Jingzhou as his base. Of course, he would definitely not tell Li Dao and Guo Yan about this. If the two of them knew, they would probably kill him directly, just in case.
Kill, kill, kill!
Seeing the arrival of their own reinforcements, Dong Chengyang and their soldiers suddenly became as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. They have been pressed and beaten before, and now that they finally have the opportunity to return it, how can they be polite. Moreover, with so many new forces joining in on their side, the situation has fallen to one side.
Lu Qian and Mao Jue's cavalry took the lead in joining Xiahou Yuan's cavalry, if it weren't for Xiahou Yuan's good command, I'm afraid that these 10,000 cavalry would have been disabled long ago. However, under the command of Xiahou Yuan, Li Dao and his 20,000 cavalry were blocked, and so far they have only lost more than 1,000 people, but the other party has lost more than 3,000. Of course, if the war continues, after all, the opponent's strength is twice that of Xiahou Yuan, and defeat is a matter of time, after all, if there is a fighting spirit in the early stage, if it continues, the energy will still be exhausted. However, now with the help of Lu Qian and Mao Jue's cavalry, Xiahou Yuan and the three of them took the lead, and the rest of the cavalry followed, and the team was like arrows, tearing apart the enemy's cavalry with ferocity and abnormality. In this round of confrontation, the opponent fell an unknown number of cavalry. After the impact of the war horse slowed down, Xiahou Yuan and the others turned around again and rushed towards the cavalry of the Xiliang Army again.
Zhao Yun led 10,000 cavalry, and he was also fiercely facing the 10,000 cavalry at the bottom of the box against Li Dao. It is true that the cavalry of the Xiliang Army is elite, but the cavalry of Youzhou is also good.
Dongping Iron Cavalry, Yuan Chang supported the elite cavalry built by Han Sui; Bao Jiajun, the cavalry built by Bao Xin at the beginning, even Cao Cao couldn't help but kill Bao Xin and seize control; finally, it was naturally Gongsun Zhan's original white horse servant, and the white horse servant who fought with foreign races all the year round, and the combat effectiveness was naturally self-evident. Although the most elite cavalry was selected to the garrison cavalry division, the rest were not the scum of the rotten streets, and the combat effectiveness was equally amazing. Moreover, led by a fierce general like Zhao Yun, the 10,000 cavalry was like a chariot, and the 10,000 cavalry of Li Dao and them were directly beaten. However, after two rounds of charges, there were few people left standing.
Besides, Han Sui led 10,000 cavalry into the infantry formation, and it was like a tiger entering a flock, and Li Wei and their infantry were killed and fled.
In a short time, on several battlefields, Li Dao's soldiers and horses all fell into decline, and there were many who were wounded and died, and there were not a few who surrendered.
What's going on, and why did it lose so quickly?
Li Dao and the three of them stared at each other, they never thought that the Xiliang Army, which they were proud of, would begin to rout in the blink of an eye, and it was so defeated that it was unimaginable.
Da Sima, the enemy's soldiers and horses are extremely fierce, and the soldiers are afraid that they will not be able to resist.
An adjutant general stubbornly ran to Li Dao and told them the situation. For fear that Li Dao would be angry, he would cut himself to vent his anger.
Hateful!
Li Wei and the three of them had nothing else to do except scold angrily. So far, the only way to do this is to retreat, otherwise, no matter how late it is, I am afraid that I will not be able to withdraw if I want to.
Someone, herald, Mingjin collects the troops!
In desperation, Li Dao and the others could only give the order to retreat. And Cao Cao and Xu Shu naturally couldn't let Li Dao and them escape with peace of mind, so they ordered the soldiers to pursue for a while before they withdrew. After the first battle, countless prisoners surrendered, and the rest of the grain, grass, and heavy goods were also the same.
Since ancient times, there have not been many battles between the two armies, and there are not many people like Song Xianggong who let the enemy cross the river safely, and then line up in formation and then kill each other. Most of them use stratagem and win by surprise. Just like the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Chibi, if the two sides show their carriages and horses and fight against each other, then the result is known without much to say. Therefore, although Li Dao and them were defeated, Cao Cao and Xu Shu did not order a desperate pursuit.
First of all, Cao Cao and Xu Shu and Li Dao Guo Yan and they don't have much enmity, it is Liu Xie who has a grudge, and now that Liu Xie is stable, they will naturally not care too much; secondly, if they pursue them desperately and provoke Li Dao and them, maybe they will be hot in their heads and die with you, and the loss will be their own soldiers, which is not worth it at all. Moreover, Cao Cao and Xu Shu thought very clearly, Li Dao, Guo Yan and Zhang Ji were temporarily united because of Liu Xie, and once there was no factor of Liu Xie, the three of them were afraid that sooner or later they would have contradictions. At that time, without their help, these three people will fight separately, and the most important point is naturally because Li Dao and they do not have the slightest threat to the world domination, so whether to get rid of Li Dao They don't need to spend much thought on Cao Cao and Xu Shu. If Li Dao is a figure like Qin Shi Huang Li Shimin, I am afraid that Cao Cao and Xu Shu will kill them all regardless of everything. It's a pity that Li Dao and they are not such characters, so naturally there is nothing to say.
In this battle, the prisoners and booty of each are naturally collected separately, and no one will fight for anything for those spoils. After gathering the soldiers and horses, the generals rushed to Liu Xie's camp. The news here has already been reported by scouts, and I think Liu Xie is also waiting for them to go to meet them.
Minister, Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao, meet Your Majesty!
Minister, the deputy military division under the command of Youzhou Mu Yuan Chang, meet Your Majesty!
Cao Cao, Xu Shu, Zhao Yun, Cao Ren and others all came to pay homage to Liu Xie, and Liu Xie was extremely happy when he learned that Li Ji and them were repulsed.
However, after being happy for a moment, Liu Xie frowned slightly, looked at Xu Shu, and asked: I heard that Youzhou Mu Yuan Chang personally led his troops to come, why didn't he come to see me?
