Chapter Twenty-Nine: Saving Cao Cao

When the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army attacked the mountain, torches were lit in the woods on the other side of the road, and there were more and more of them, and it was impossible to see how many people there were.

The mountains and forests echo each other from afar, and the shouts of killing shake the sky.

"Boss, there are a lot of them, let's get out quickly!"

"Withdraw!"

"Kill!" Zhang Guang took the lead, with a spear in hand, and killed the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, who had no fighting spirit.

Behind him were more than 200 soldiers of the third battalion of the Ninth Army, all dressed in civilian clothes, rushing down the hill.

"Long Jiu, don't run so fast, or those cubs will be killed by the eldest brother."

Dian Wei followed behind the thin Ma Long Jiu, and he was full of strength, but he couldn't outrun Long Jiu.

More than 1,000 remnants of the Yellow Turban Army were chased and fled in a hurry, and finally dozens of people disarmed and surrendered.

"I'm Zhang Guang of the Ninth Army, if you want to follow me, after dawn, go to Shouzhang City to find me!"

Zhang Guang asked people to pick up those weapons that were in good condition, took away the war horses of the Yellow Turban Army, and quickly rushed to the next ambush point provided by the reconnaissance platoon.

As soon as it was dawn, Zhang Xiao and Guan Hai began to wave their troops to attack Jinxian Ridge, but they were ambushed by Xiahou Yuan on the way, suffering tens of thousands of casualties.

However, this casualty did not have a big impact on Zhang Xiao's troops.

The Yellow Turban Army, which had more than 100,000 troops, and the Cao Army, which had survived less than 40,000, fought a fierce battle on the Golden Line Ridge.

Zhang Xiao also seemed to have made up his mind to fight Cao Cao to the death this time, and desperately led the army to attack Cao Cao's camp.

"Lord, withdraw, if this continues, the remaining strength of our troops will be handed over here."

No matter how Xun Yu, Xiahou Yuan and others persuaded him, Cao Cao just didn't withdraw, and he looked like he was going to die in Jinxian Ridge.

"General Xia, do it, even if you tie it up, you will also kidnap the lord, and in the future, the lord will blame it, and I will bear it."

Outside Cao Cao's camp, Xun Yu said to Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan had long wanted to do this, and when he heard that Xun Yu also thought so, without saying a word, he found a rope and entered Cao Cao's camp.

"Xiahou Yuan, what do you want to do? Ah, dare to tie up Lao Tzu, and when Lao Tzu returns to Dongjun, he will never spare you. ”

"General Xia, shut him up."

……

"Zhang Shuai, Guan Shuai, no, our Shou Zhangcheng has been attacked by Cao Jun!"

"What, Cao Jun's attack? All the Cao army is surrounded by us, where did the Cao army come from to attack Shouzhang? ”

"I don't know, they are holding the battle flag of the Ninth Regiment, with a big 'Zhang' character on it, they are attacking Dongcheng, and the fog outside the city is the dust raised by the galloping war horses, I don't know how many people there are, the sound of shouting and killing, the sound of war drums is shaking the sky, there must be a lot!"

"Zhang? It can't be Liu Bei's third brother Zhang Fei, right? Could it be that Yuan Shao asked Tai Shici to attack Shouzhang as well? Liu Bei's three brothers are the three fierce generals under Tai Shici, if they come to attack, only 20,000 Shouzhang will be left, which is dangerous! Guan Hai, who had been defeated by Liu Bei, couldn't help but shudder when he thought of Zhang Fei's might.

"Brewed, one more hour, we will definitely be able to destroy Cao Cao on the other side, God will not help me, retreat, and save Shou Zhang."

Under Zhang Xiao's order, the Yellow Turban Army quickly descended the mountain and ran in the direction of Shouzhang.

At this time, Xun Yu and Xiahou Yuan had just tied up Cao Cao, and Xiahou Yuan was carrying Cao Cao and was about to retreat behind the mountain.

"Lord, General Xia, run away!"

"What ran away? We are a strategic retreat! Xun Yu scolded.

"No, Lord Xun, they withdrew, and the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side withdrew!"

"Let go of me!"

Cao Cao waited for Xiahou Yuan and others to loosen his ties and ran out of the camp.

The Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side did begin to retreat down the mountain.

"Quick, chase me, chase them!" Cao Cao shouted.

"Lord, let's take this opportunity to withdraw!"

"Xiahou Yuan, you idiot, they are in such a hurry to return to Shouzhang, there must be an army attacking Shouzhang, hurry, chase me!"

30,000 soldiers of the Cao Army, biting the tail of the Yellow Turban Army, chased and killed all the way.

"Zhang Shuai, Cao Jun is biting in the back, our casualties are very large, let me take 20,000 people to resist, you lead the troops back to Shouzhang first." Guan Hai suggested.

"No, we don't know who is attacking Shouzhang now, how many people there are, we must all return to Shouzhang immediately, otherwise, Shouzhang will be lost, and we will be sandwiched on the plain between Shouzhang and Jinxian Ridge, and we will die."

"Zhang Shuai, Guan Shuai, it's not good, none of the teams that went to buy grain in various places came back, and some escaped, saying that they were ambushed by Cao's army, and the grain and grass were gone."

"Stop, stop all, what should I do? What to do? Guan Hai, what should I do? Zhang Xiao panicked for a moment.

"Zhang Shuai, no matter what, let's go back to Shouzhang first."

"No, I can't go back to Shouzhang!"

"Now that the grain and grass are gone, once we are besieged in Shouzhang, we have no food and grass, and in a few days, the army will rebel."

"Yes, that's right, those who attacked the city only attacked the east city and left us the west gate to enter, they must have wanted us to enter the city and then besiege it."

"Go around and run east!"

More than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops, because of Zhang Xiao's momentary panic, actually lost their armor and ran towards Dongping City when they had an absolute advantage in troops.

"Lord, Zhang Xiao led the Yellow Turban Army to run in the direction of Dongping, and Cao Cao led the Cao Army, biting tightly behind."

Zhang Guang, who was leading his troops to attack Shouzhang Dongcheng, received information from the reconnaissance platoon.

"Ran away? This Zhang Xiao is really a waste of firewood. ”

"Haha, in that case, Pang Tong, Gan Ning, you two with the guard platoon and the detective battalion hurry into the city, receive the surrendered troops, the old, the crippled, and those soldiers and ruffians are left to Cao Cao, we only need elite soldiers and strong generals!"

"Okay, big brother!" Pang Tong led his troops away.

"Dian Wei, raise the battle flag of our ninth regiment, concentrate the soldiers with war horses, kill me!"

Cao Cao's Cao Jun chased all the way behind.

Zhang Guang and Dian Wei led the soldiers of the Ninth Regiment with war horses, and kept rushing and intercepting the Yellow Turban Army along the way, cutting the Yellow Turban Army apart and slowly devouring it one by one.

When Zhang Xiao led the army to flee back to Dongping, there were 200,000 troops, and less than 100,000 survived.

"Xiaoman, where is your father-in-law Cao Cao? Why are you so weak? was surrounded by waste wood like Zhang Xiao on the Golden Line Ridge! ”

"You ......"

Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Xiahou Yuan and others, at first glance, turned out to be Zhang Guang, and Dian Wei was holding the battle flag of the Ninth Regiment high behind him, and he didn't know how to talk to Zhang Guang.

They didn't expect that Zhang Guang would take hundreds of his people and travel hundreds of miles to Shouzhang to help the war.

Last night, Cao Cao was also ruthless, and he must have chopped Zhang Guang into pieces to make soup.

"Xiaoman, why are you injured?"

"It doesn't matter, it's a trivial matter, Brother Zhang Guang, my lord was too seriously injured and returned to Dongjun, now General Xiahou Yuan is the main general, and Lord Xun Yu is the military advisor."

"Oh, I see, I said, why was Zhang Xiao besieged, it turned out that Cao Cao was not there!"

Damn, what's the matter? Could it be that Cao Jun was besieged by Zhang Xiao, and it was my Xun Yu's responsibility?

Not only Xun Yu, but Xiahou Yuan also looked aggrieved, only Cao Cao's face bloomed.

It seems that I, Cao Cao, in Zhang Daxian's heart, are still better than Xun Yu and Xiahou Yuan.

"Brother Zhang Guang, what's going on with you besieging Shouzhang?" Cao Cao asked.

"Well, it's a long story, let's go, the camp of our Ninth Regiment should have been set up, go to my tent, and talk while drinking."

Zhang Guang was in front, Cao Cao, Xun Yu and Xiahou Yuan were in the middle, and Dian Wei was holding the battle flag of the Ninth Regiment behind.

Cao Jun's Li Dian, Cao Ren and others stayed behind to arrange Cao Jun's next affairs.
