Cao Hong's solemn scarlet eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of extreme doubt.

Previously, he was ordered by Cao Ren's army to ambush and rob the soldiers and horses of the battalion, but after he ambushed Guan Yu, there were so many ambushes behind him!

And it turned out to be all cavalry!

And it's a siege!

"Zilian! You guard the rear, and the army continues to retreat north! Cao Ren's eyes were also scarlet, he originally wanted to take this opportunity to reverse all the morale that had been slumping in the past few days, but he didn't expect that he was in a hurry to succeed, and he failed to see through Liu Bei's trick to lure the snake out of the hole, if it wasn't for what Chen Qun said, I am afraid that the loss of soldiers will reach a painful point.

Cao Ren's heart was cold, this Liu Bei's trick was really deceitful.

At this time, if the troops are withdrawn, at best, they will only lose their base areas, and they will not have to pay many casualties, but if they do not retreat, under the ambush and flanking attack of the enemy, Cao's army will definitely be defeated.

Although he regretted it, Cao Ren knew that it was too late now, and if he didn't leave quickly, he was afraid that under the ambush, the already demoralized Cao army would probably lose all in this battle.

Think about it, what was it like to ambush others by yourself, it was a wolf, the wolf went to catch sheep, and it must have been exciting to see the sheep enter their hunting range, at that time the mood was high-pitched, but now, now they suddenly changed from hungry wolves to sheep, and the psychological gap caused by this transformation is enough for them to collapse.

What's more, what is the group of wolves in the back, it is Zhang Fei, the cavalry led by Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei's lion roar skill is a peerless skill.

"Retire, retreat!" Cao Ren didn't dare to use the lives of his soldiers as collateral anymore, so he hurriedly ordered the herald to blow the horn and order the troops to retreat.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The piercing sound of the horn resounded through the Cao camp, and the panicked Cao soldiers in the rear stumbled towards the place where the horn was blown, and after gathering, under the cover of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, the Cao army slowly retreated to the north.

Guan Yu, who was fighting with more than ten elite Cao army soldiers, took advantage of the situation to split these soldiers, holding the Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand and blinding everyone's dog eyes again, and the furious green hat general came back, only to see Guan Yu's eyes slightly condensed, and the long beard under his chin rose slightly with the wind raised forward by the war horse, although the long beard was wrapped in something, but it still couldn't resist Guan Yu's heroic posture.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fought together, combined forces, and rushed to attack the Cao army, and the rear of the Cao army was in chaos, trampling and killing at least hundreds.

At the same time, the trembling sound of the earth suddenly became louder, Cao Hong followed the sound and looked, his eyes had become solemn and a little serious, only to see that in the west of the army, there were soldiers and horses killing generals.

What appeared in front of Cao Hong's eyes was a big banner of "Liu" that was hunting and flying in the wind, under the light of the fire, Cao Hong saw very clearly, and before the army, an enemy general held a double-strand sword, it was none other than our Liu Bei children's shoes.

Cao Hong's eyes froze, at this moment, the east, west and south sides had completely blocked his retreat, and the only way to go north was to the north.

Only refund.

"The Cao thief betrayed the royal family, and even killed the ministers of the three princes in the court, which can be described as a great crime, you will attack the Cao thief with me and help the Han family!" Liu Bei shouted to the soldiers under his tent and began to boost morale.

Cao Hong is a fool if he doesn't understand it now, it is obvious that this is a conspiracy orchestrated by Liu Bei using Guan Yu's soldiers and horses as bait, in order to annihilate them all.

Without warning, between life and death, the roles of predator and hunted were so abruptly changed, seeing that the soldiers under his command were constantly killed and wounded in the hands of the enemy, Cao Hong gritted his teeth fiercely, eager to tie Liu Bei up and shoot him to death.

But by this time, Cao Hong was already panicking.

"Brother, I'm starting to panic......" Cao Hong was about to cry to our Cao Ren shoes.

Cao Hong, who was dressed in heavy armor, carried the reins of his horse, his face was gloomy, his eyes wandered on the body of the soldiers and horses of Runan on the opposite side, and his heart was in turmoil, but the spear in his hand was reaping human lives one by one.

"You have to give it back!" Cao Hong said silently in his heart.

However, under the impact of Liu Guanzhang and the others, the rear of Cao's army was already attacked and almost defenseless, and the two generals Cao Ren and Cao Hong came to block the enemy, but they still couldn't stop it.

The army collapsed in a matter of moments.

The military was unfavorable and the fighting spirit was low, so Cao's army could only passively respond to the battle, and fled frantically towards the northern Pingyu area step by step.

When the blood was filled, the soldiers of the Cao army finally slowly reflected in the panic, they had escaped, between the small county road and Pingyu in the place where they were stationed, they had been killed by the war and the soldiers, with the knives and guns in their hands, and they had killed a bloody road, and the light snow that fell the day before yesterday was soaked in blood, and all of them had melted.

Corpses everywhere.

Liu Bei led Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Pi, Gong Du and other generals to raid the retreating Cao Ren's soldiers and horses all the way, intending to force Cao Ren all the way into Yingchuan County.

……

Liu Bei fought against Cao Ren, and the battle in the plan was perfect, Liu Bei led the army to pursue more than 40 miles to the north, intending to destroy Cao Ren in one fell swoop.

finally seized this opportunity, how could Liu Bei not seize it. After all, if you want to have such a good opportunity in the future, it is obviously impossible.

Just when Liu Bei continued to attack northward, Tai Shici, who was stationed only a few miles away from Liu Bei's camp, was ordered by Yuan Yao to lead his soldiers and horses to launch an "attack" on Liu Bei's camp.

Of course, now that Huainan and Liu Bei are still allies, Tai Shici naturally can't directly send troops to Liu Bei.

It's about saluting first and then soldiering.

At the beginning, in the agreement with Yuan Yao, Liu Bei was stationed in the places of Shangcai County, and now these locations are all in Runan, that is, they are all Yuan Yao's, Yuan Yao took it back, naturally there is nothing to blame, although Liu Bei's wife is very angry, but after all, there is nothing to say.

So, according to Yuan Yaojun's order, Tai Shi Ci raised troops all the way to the north, and after Liu Bei's walking route, Liu Bei's rear was collected all the way.

What is implemented is exactly the "three lights" policy.

Don't leave a grain of grain for Liu Bei, don't leave a piece of armor for Liu Bei, and don't let Liu Bei set foot on the door.

Mi Zhu, Jian Yong and other strategists who stayed in Ancheng who got the news were about to cry.

"Brother Zizhong, Yuan Yao ordered Tai Shi Ci to go all the way north to collect the lands under my lord, you see, what should we do?" Sun Qian followed Liu Bei to attack Cao Ren and others, so Jian Yong and Mi Zhu stayed in Ancheng, and when they heard the urgent report from their subordinates, Jian Yong's eyes showed a trace of resentment.

It was this Yuan Yao who harmed him, so that Jian Yong became an idler in Liu Bei's eyes, he was lukewarm for the past two days, and it seemed that he even wanted to kill himself. Jian Yong naturally wanted to put all these things on Yuan Yao's head.

"Xianhe, we have no soldiers to use......" Hearing Jian Yong's question, Mi Zhu smiled bitterly, Yuan Yao originally said that he would send Cai Di to the lord to be stationed, but at this time Liu Bei was still in Runan County, not to his own territory, Yuan Yao sent troops is also common sense, and now there are no soldiers and horses at all, and it is obviously unrealistic to want to transport the baggage, ordnance and other things in the county town.

Not to mention Mi Zhu, the gods can't help it, the scouts who are fast and whipping towards Liu Bei have already set off, and now Mi Zhu is indeed a good woman who is difficult to cook without rice.

Without soldiers and horses, it's nonsense to talk about anything.

"I'll mediate with Yuan Yao for the time being, and wait until the news of the lord comes before making plans." Mi Zhu squinted his eyes slightly and said with a wry smile. The distance of more than 40 miles, if Liu Bei wants to come back, this county will definitely become a county under the jurisdiction of Yuan Yao, when the time comes, will Liu Bei dare to attack?

Dead end, dead end, Yuan Yao is obviously used to sweeping in the back, Liu Bei is now obviously surprised to become Yuan Yao's vanguard. Mi Zhu looked helpless.

……

After a night of fierce fighting, the east has already revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly.

Cao Ren's tent, at this time, all the people and horses in the tent were silent.

Cao Ren's face was solemn, and his face was gloomy and he kept pacing, so worried that he really didn't want to think about it.

In front of Cao Ren, there were a lot of generals kneeling on the ground, Cao Hong, Han Yang and other generals all bowed to the ground, their lips tightly closed, and they didn't dare to say anything.

In the tent, there was a crackling monotonous sound in the pot fire, which made the atmosphere extremely dull and depressing.

Chen Qun did not kneel on the ground, but also stood in front of the table on the side, his face was calm and solemn.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, just on the eve of Lu Bu's imminent arrival in Runan, he Cao Ren was defeated by Liu Bei again, and he really stuffed his teeth with water in the past two days, it was really simple......

In this battle, more than 2,000 soldiers and horses were lost, and Cao's army suffered a great defeat. The defeat was extremely heavy, and the wounded people and horses were even more numerous, and according to the collation, there should be at least 3,000 more injured.

In this battle, the soldiers and horses under his command of Cao Ren suffered more than 5,000 casualties!

There was not a word in the tent, in the city, the city wall was strictly guarded, Cao Ren's knife-like face, for the first time, there was a blank look, he had been fighting with Cao Cao since he started the army, he had been making continuous achievements, if it wasn't for the fact that he was less qualified than Xiahou Dun, and guarded the rear, he Cao Ren could do the same.

But this time, when the fishermen who came to Runan to make a profit, how did it become like this? Cao Ren was really circled......

First of all, Xiahoudun was captured by Yuan Yaosheng, and Cao Cao's reply did not come for a long time, so he had no choice but to attack Runan first according to Yuan Yao's requirements, and feinted for a few days, but he really attacked the city only three times.

These three times, the number of casualties in the first two times was only 500 each time, and the third time, unexpectedly, Liu Bei went out of the city to fight in the field, and he was caught off guard, with more than 2,000 casualties. Demoralized, defeated Ancheng, thought that he could take the opportunity to win back, but unfortunately fell into the scheme again.

Five thousand casualties!

The candles crackled, and the atmosphere in the tent was oppressive and tense.

"Brothers, my poor command has led to the rout of the army, and I hope you will forgive me." Cao Ren locked his eyebrows, stopped, and said in a hoarse voice to everyone, feeling guilty.

"General......" Everyone suddenly raised their heads, and all that was on their cold faces was anger, without the slightest hint of complaint.

"Peng!"

Just when everyone was preparing for you and me to start a tear-jerking drama, the curtain of the tent was suddenly opened very roughly.

"General, the troops and horses led by General Lu Bu are twenty miles northwest of Pingyu!"

The general's face seemed to have been blown by the cold wind, and it had turned completely red, and he said to Cao Ren.

"Lu Bu!" Cao Ren said in surprise.
