The scene in front of them made Cao Bao, Tao Qing and the others unbelievable, and they saw that the tens of thousands of Yuan troops who were originally chasing them behind fled westward like a tide at this time.

And their army is still fleeing east.

The armies that were close to each other quickly broke away, forming a large open area in the middle, and the distance was getting farther and farther.

"General Taishi, this is ......"

Cao Bao couldn't help but be confused, seeing that his side was about to be defeated, and Yuan's army was about to win a big victory, how could he suddenly retreat?

Tai Shi Ci smiled brightly: "Yan Liang is dead, the opportunity to make meritorious service has arrived, why don't you follow me to chase after him?" ”

"Yan Liang is dead? But General Taishi is obviously not Yan Liang's opponent, how could he suddenly die? ”

"Who do you say is not Yan Liang's opponent? I'll tell you to say it again,"

Tai Shi Ci raised his eyebrows, and said solemnly: "I want to capture the old and indulge, deliberately defeated, to be arrogant, do you understand?" ”

"Yes, yes, your General Taishi is invincible in the world, how can you not be able to defeat Yan Liang? I can see that you deliberately lost to him. ”

Tao Qing behind Cao Bao was more clever, and hurriedly followed Tai Shici's words and swore to speak.

"It's pretty much the same," Tai Shici nodded with satisfaction, but suddenly saw in the distance, the white-headed guy Lu Buzheng looked at him with electric eyes, and he couldn't help but be slightly embarrassed: "Ahem, the world is invincible...... Not really.

What nonsense here?

If you delay Yuan Jun and flee back to Liyang, why don't you hurry up and follow me? ”

"No!"

Tao Qing and the other generals had their eyes lit up and promised loudly, this can turn defeat into victory, it's so happy!

At this time, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Zhou Cang also rushed over, and the rear team of Cao's army became the front team, led by several generals, and launched a pursuit on the endless plain.

I was chased so badly just now, and now the opportunity to take revenge and make meritorious service has finally arrived.

The main generals and deputy generals of the Yuan army were all killed in battle, although there were many people, but they had already become a plate of scattered sand, and there was no combat effectiveness at all.

Except for a few who resisted and were quickly killed, the rest could only flee aimlessly.

If he couldn't run, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Although the Cao army was also in chaos, they were led by the main general, and their morale was high, although the number was only 10,000, they quickly defeated the Yuan army, which was several times their size.

Cao Bao rode on a horse, watching the army that originally belonged to him cleaning up the battlefield, and his mood was very complicated.

He sighed and said to Tao Qing and other former Danyang generals beside him: "Ping Gongzi is unpredictable in his use of soldiers, and such disadvantages can turn things around in an instant, which shows that his reputation is not obtained out of thin air, I deeply admire it."

If you follow him later, you will have a bright future. ”

"General Cao, what do you mean by this? Won't you follow Ping Gongzi in the future? Tao Qing asked puzzled.

Cao Bao pointed to the soldiers in front of him and said with emotion: "Now this army is the imperial army or the Cao army, it is no longer the Danyang army, and it is inconvenient for me to be mixed into the army."

After I returned, I begged Mr. Ping to arrange an errand for me to be a clerk, and I never served in the army again. ”

He was the leader of the Danyang army, and his prestige in the army was unmatched, and he originally thought that Liu Ping would have to rely on him to control this army.

But today, in a beautiful battle of winning more with less, Tao Qing, these low-level generals, have been completely convinced by Liu Ping, and he is trying to control the army in the middle, isn't it self-defeating?

So he thought of Mingzhe to protect himself, retreated bravely, and took the initiative to hand over the control of this army to Liu Ping, in exchange for the rest of his life.

"General, what should we do if you leave the army?" Tao Qing and the others were in a hurry.

Cao Bao sighed and said: "You and others only have more than a thousand people in their hands, and they can't make any big waves if they want to make trouble."

I can see that this Ping Gongzi is by no means a waste of fame, and in the future, if you are honest and loyal to him, you will definitely have a bright future. ”

……

Time went back to two hours ago, the Yuan army camp outside White Horse City, which was guarded by Lu Kuang's younger brother Lu Xiang at this time.

Since this battle has shown the trend of "encircling the point to send reinforcements", Yan Liang ordered Lu Xiang to lead 10,000 troops to surround the "point" of White Horse City.

Yan Liang personally led 40,000 horses and horses to dozens of miles away to attack the "aid" led by Liu Ping.

"Now that General Gongji has personally gone to fight with Cao's army, are we just surrounding and not fighting?

How does this make a meritorious service? "Some generals are indignant about the current arrangement.

"That is, if you know this, it is better to take the initiative to ask Ying to follow General Gongji, they will attack 10,000 Cao troops with 40,000 people, it should not be difficult to win, and everyone will share the credit at that time, although it is not much, but it is better than nothing."

"Then what should I do, if I want to make meritorious contributions, do you expect our 10,000 people to capture the white horse?" At this time, Lu Xiang's face was also pale, and he said indignantly: "The thousands of defenders of Liu Yan in the city are not paper-paste.

Since General Gongji has arranged it like this, what can he do if he is not convinced? ”

"The last general has an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible or not."

"What's the idea, tell me quickly."

"Didn't General Gongji once mention that after breaking through the city, you can let the army plunder?

Why don't we write it down and shoot it into the city, saying that whoever can open the gates from inside the city will be saved from the plunder......"

"It's worth a try," Lu Xiang nodded.

There are large and small gentry in any city.

Most of these gentry have a variety of tribes.

If the news of the imminent slaughter of the city is brought into the city to cause panic, and then they are shown a clear way to avoid being slaughtered, someone should obey.

As long as someone opens the city gate from the inside, his 10,000 people can naturally rush in and crush the defenders in the city.

Such a great achievement is a success.

"Okay, let's do it, when you rush into the city, you will grab this meritorious gentleman first."

Lu Xiang smiled at the general who came up with the idea.

"The last general doesn't dare," the general said with a smile: "I heard that the biggest gentry in White Horse City is surnamed Li, and when he enters the city, I will first snatch the little lady of the Li family and present it to the general." ”

"I have a heart!" Lu Xiang and the others laughed.

The city could not be attacked for a long time, and after conquering it, the army slaughtered the city, which happened from time to time in this era.

For the soldiers, robbing the people's money and food is one thing, and the other aspect is more tempting, that is, the little lady who can take the opportunity to grab the gentry's family.

The daughters of those rich and powerful families were charming and pampered, and in the peaceful period, they could not even see each other.

But in this troubled world, they have the opportunity to grab it in their hands and dispose of it at will.

"After the city is broken, I will share it with you!" Lu Xiang said to a group of generals with arrogance.

The generals were immediately gearing up and eager to try.

……

At the same time, in the White Horse City garrison General's Mansion, Liu Yan was also convening his subordinates to discuss the matter.

It's just that their atmosphere is the opposite of Yuan's army's camp, which is depressing and heavy......
