Chapter 30: Revenge with One Stone
"Rush! Kill all these officers and soldiers! ”
Pei Yuanshao led the more than 2,000 Yellow Turban troops hidden here to rush out from both sides, and with spears raised, they killed Cao Jun.
These Cao troops had just escaped from death, and their morale had not recovered at all, but because of the retreat, some of the accumulated morale had also been wasted, and when they were attacked again at this time, they naturally panicked.
Even if Cao Cao tried his best to control the formation at this time, he could no longer control the situation, and those cavalry here, in a panic, had already begun to scatter and flee, and they had no intention of fighting at all.
Looking at the fleeing army in all directions, it was obvious that it had been defeated, Cao Cao stood under the official road and sighed, although there were still three hundred cavalry by his side at this time, but three hundred cavalry, to face thousands of yellow turban thieves here, Rao is he has always been confident, and he also understands that this is unlikely.
Cao Cao was in the crowd, he saw Liu Zheng at a glance, his eyes were a little gloomy, when he was in Quyang City before, he had already concluded that Liu Zheng's appearance would inevitably become a big problem for them, and now it seems that this promise made Cao Cao more convinced.
"There is a change in this battle, all the soldiers, evacuate immediately!"
Cao Cao didn't plan to continue fighting at all, and the soldiers who had no will to fight were no longer the opponents of the Yellow Turban Army, so he could only choose to retreat at this time.
After all, these people under him were not his own men, but the Hu cavalry among the five schools of the Northern Army that Huangfu Song assigned to him.
He was temporarily ordered to command these horses to pursue the Yellow Turban Thieves, but now this result is a headache for him.
Huangfu Song's cavalry, Cao Cao is difficult to mobilize at all, and he is not familiar with these cavalry, it is already difficult to command, and now he is ambushed, which naturally makes Cao Cao quite embarrassed, in order to preserve his strength, he doesn't want to waste all the three or four hundred tigers and leopards around him.
So Cao Cao made a quick decision and immediately chose to retreat with the remnants of hundreds of cavalry.
With Cao Cao and Cao Hong opening the way, Pei Yuanshao's 2,000 people naturally couldn't stop it, but when Liu Zheng first arranged for Pei Yuanshao and them to intercept the pursuers here, he didn't plan to let them eliminate the fleeing pursuers.
The purpose was only to further demoralize the pursuers, so that their fighting spirit was exhausted again, and they only wanted him to escape.
Now it seems that this purpose has been achieved.
And after Liu Zheng took Xu Huang, Zhou Cang and others to the core battlefield, Liu Zheng didn't think much about it, his eyes kept scanning back and forth on the battlefield.
There is only one purpose, which is to find out where this guy Cao Ren is.
That one-arrow hatred, Liu Zheng remembers it clearly.
When he met Cao Ren again this time, he would not let Cao Ren go.
Cao Ren has always followed Cao Cao's side and acted as Cao Cao's guard, after all, the current Cao Cao is just a cavalry captain, and he has not yet become a descendant, and the famous King of Wei is not qualified to canonize the people around him.
Compared with Cao Cao, Liu Zheng set his eyes on Cao Ren's body at this time, holding a javelin in his hand, and rode his horse to get close to Cao Ren.
"Cao Ren Xiao'er! Death! ”
With a whoosh, Liu Zheng threw the javelin in his hand into the distance and threw it out.
Although there was a long distance, Cao Ren's guy had already followed behind Cao Cao and began to evacuate outside the ambush circle, Liu Zheng was worried that he hadn't caught up yet, and Cao Ren would run away.
That's why he threw out the javelin in his hand when he was so far away and not too sure.
Liu Zheng's words were very loud, and although they were far away, Cao Ren seemed to hear his name.
Glanced back.
That is, the moment he turned around, the javelin came in an instant, and flew in front of Cao Ren.
Cao Ren's eyes instantly widened, and he hurriedly wanted to dodge.
But the javelin was already in front of him, and he couldn't avoid it, so he could only raise his hand and grab it.
Try to use your own hands to catch the javelin that is flying in.
But the javelin thrown out by flying shot greatly increases its strength, and how can it be directly grasped by manpower.
Just as Cao Ren reached out and tried to grab the javelin, the javelin instantly stabbed him in the hand.
Flutter.
The huge force of inertia pierced through Cao Ren's palm.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Ren fell from his horse.
Let out a scream of pain.
Cao Ren is also considered lucky. If he hadn't reached for the javelin. Maybe the javelin would go straight through his chest.
"Zixiao!"
Cao Cao immediately turned back after hearing Cao Ren's screams. only to find that Cao Ren had been shot and fell to the ground.
He screamed in horror and immediately reversed course. Riding a war horse, he returned to Cao Ren's side.
"Kill! Brothers, the time has come for revenge after the enemy forces have broken up! ”
Seeing this, Liu Zheng immediately shouted, signaling the Yellow Turban Army around him to kill Cao Jun.
And Cao Cao heard Liu Zheng's words, and after realizing that these Yellow Turban Army were getting closer and closer to them, his expression also changed greatly and became more and more gloomy.
"Hurry up, you can't stay here for a long time, you will definitely lose if you stay for a long time, evacuate this place first!"
Cao Cao grabbed the injured Cao Ren and quickly left with Cao Ren. He didn't want to leave Cao Ren behind. After all, Cao Ren is his second brother.
Cao Ren endured the pain in his arm, was pulled onto the war horse by Cao Cao, and then followed behind Cao Cao and broke through.
When Liu Zheng and the others came over, Cao Cao had already taken some of his most elite men and horses to break out of the encirclement and kill to the edge of the battlefield.
Liu Zheng looked at the back of Cao Cao's escape, although he had some regrets, but Cao Cao was Cao Cao after all, and with his current strength, it was impossible to catch Cao Cao, even if he had more soldiers and horses than Cao Cao.
But it is not so easy to capture Cao Cao alive or kill Cao Cao.
As long as Cao Cao leaves, there is no possibility for the remaining official cavalry here to escape, and what Liu Zheng wants more is to kill these official cavalry.
It is only necessary to kill the cavalry of the official army, and those officers and soldiers have no pursuit weapons, and it will be difficult to pursue Liu Zheng and others.
When the time comes, the sky is high and the birds will fly, the sea will be wide and the fish will jump, and Liu Zheng can go wherever he wants.
Half an hour later.
The whole official road is in shambles.
The fighting had stopped, and Cao's army had fled, leaving behind corpses and the smell of blood.
Liu Zheng rested under a big tree, although he was not injured in the battle just now, his physical exertion was still very large.
"Pei Yuanshao, have the battlefield statistics come out, how many brothers have we died?"
"Hui Qushuai, we didn't have many casualties, but more than 400 brothers were killed and more than 1,700 wounded. However, they are not too serious injuries, and they are barely able to move. ”
"What about the enemy?"
