Generals such as Lü Bu, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Bao Chu led their cavalry to attack Cao's army incessantly, and after defeating the enemy, drove Cao's army south from the north. More than 30,000 soldiers of the Cao Army lost their fighting spirit and were forced to the edge of the river.

Xiliang Tieqi galloped non-stop, killing the Cao soldiers on the periphery. The soldiers of the Cao army who were surrounded by the river had no way out, and there were pursuers behind them, and they couldn't help crying bitterly. Tens of thousands of people cried together, and the sound shook the earth. However, the people of Xiliang have no mercy, and they are still using bows and arrows, riding spears, and horizontal knives to harvest the lives of these remnants of the defeated generals.

As soon as the Cao soldiers showed signs of gathering, hundreds of assault cavalry would immediately rush over and scatter them. The light cavalry relied on the speed of the horse and the strength of the bow, spread a large net, and drove the scattered Cao army to the direction of the river unhurriedly. As the net tightened more and more, the cries of Cao Jun's soldiers became more and more tragic.

The people on the outside were constantly being killed, so they scrambled to squeeze inside. Thousands of people leaned together, and people near the river shouted, "Don't squeeze any more, you'll fall into the river," but who could hear them? Even if they did, who would care?

Amid the screams, the Cao soldiers were squeezed into the river like dumplings. The fallen soldier cursed as he struggled to remove his armor and swam across the river. The enemy here is too strong, so let's swim over.

Although the water quality of most people is not very good, there is only a dead end if they fall into the river. But after falling one or two hundred thousand people, there are still many lucky ones who can swim to the opposite bank in the rushing river. Although there are many rivers in Xuzhou, except for Surabaya and Huai River, most of the rivers are not very wide, and they are only a few miles at most.

However, when those people swam to the other side with great difficulty, they will find that there are also large groups of Xiliang cavalry waiting for them over there.

After defeating the main force of the Cao army, it was already dark, and Chen Cheng ordered his soldiers not to rest and continued to attack the remnants of the Cao army. The pursuit lasted two days and two nights, and nearly half of Cao's troops who fled south were killed or captured. On the road from Pengcheng to the south for more than 200 miles, the corpses of Cao's soldiers can be seen from time to time.

Chen Cheng led the cavalry all the way through Suishui and chased to Pei County in Yuzhou, killing countless Cao soldiers, but he never caught Cao Cao. After two days and two nights of pursuit, the soldiers were very tired, but they were able to withstand it after a long and rigorous training.

People can rely on perseverance to survive, but war horses cannot. After such a long gallop, the horses have already begun to show non-combat attrition. What's worse is that there are already quite a few Peijun soldiers and horses around, although there are only a few thousand people, but this is a bad sign.

The quality of Peijun's soldiers and horses is average, and the quantity is not much, so it is not difficult to break it, but Chen Cheng is not interested in continuing to fight. It takes a lot of preparation to start a war, including soldiers, weapons, horses, food and grass, etc., and it is very difficult to start a war. But ending a war will only be more difficult than starting a war.

A lot of times, you find that you can't stop at all. Chen Cheng did not want to make the same mistake as the Japanese, and set two strategic goals before the war, one was to capture Yanzhou, and the other was to destroy the main force of Cao's army. Now that both objectives have been accomplished, the war should not be extended indefinitely.

Besides, he doesn't have enough manpower to manage the land he has conquered, and seizing more territory can only be governed by those scholars and heroes. Rather than that, it is better to withdraw the troops for the time being. As for Cao Cao, although it is a pity that he failed to catch him, it is not too important.

Having lost his territory and army, even if Cao Mengde wants to make a comeback, it will take several years. In a few years, who knows what it will look like?

If Cao Mengde is caught, according to what he did, he will inevitably be executed. The heroes of the previous generation have come to an end, such as Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo, Tao Qian, Liu Yan and others have passed away one after another. Among the heroes of this generation, Yuan Shu is dead, and the rest are only Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei, Zhang Yan, Zang Ba and others.

If Cao Cao also died, this world would be too boring. Whether Cao Cao ran to the south or went north to join Yuan Shao, it doesn't matter now. Before becoming a prince again, Boss Cao still has a lot to do.

Chen Cheng looked up into the distance and said in his heart: Even if Cao Cao makes a comeback, there is nothing to be afraid of. If I can beat him once, I can beat him a second time!

With this in mind, he ordered in a loud voice: "Stop advancing!" ”

When the guards on the side heard the order, they rang the gong, and the cavalry scattered around turned their horses one after another when they heard the sound and moved closer to the direction of the handsome banner. Chen Cheng looked at the Peijun soldiers and horses who were following him, sneered, and said loudly: "Let's go back to Yanzhou first!" ”

Thousands of horsemen kept a neat queue and retreated in the direction they came. The war horse was just trotting, and it didn't gallop at full strength, but it was also very fast, and in just a few breaths, it was already far away.

"General, they retreated, should we catch up?"

A general dressed in armor said dissatisfiedly: "What are you chasing?" They are all cavalry, and we will chase them with our heads? We also withdraw! ”

When Chen Cheng led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to break the main force of the Cao army, Zang Ba also rushed to the direction of Pengcheng from Xiaopei with 30,000 soldiers and horses. However, the cavalry of the Taishan army is very small, but more than 1,000, and most of the main force are infantry, so the mobility cannot be compared with the Xiliang army with nearly 30,000 head of livestock.

And Zang Ba still had some doubts in his heart, so his actions inevitably dragged on. Not only did Zang Ba have doubts, but the generals under his command, such as Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li and others, were all scared by Cao Cao, although they saw the 20,000 elite anomalies brought by Chen Cheng, they also doubted whether they could beat Cao Cao, because there were not many soldiers and horses in the imperial court after all.

But only two days later, they received news that the general had defeated the main force of Cao's army twenty miles north of Pengcheng, and was now chasing him north. The envoy sent by Chen Cheng to Zang Ba's army said without humility or arrogance: "The general ordered Er and others to quickly march south to clear the remnants of Cao's army!" ”

Zang Ba and the others had shocked looks on their faces, and hurriedly said: "The general's order, we should obey it!" ”

After the envoy left, Zang Ba looked at the generals who were still in shock and asked, "You say, has the general really defeated Cao Mengde?" That's too fast! ”

Sun Guan was a ranger in Xuzhou, and he volunteered: "I'll take someone to investigate first, if Cao Cao is really defeated, then we will take this opportunity to make some contributions in front of the general." I heard that the general will be rewarded for his merits, but we have also done our best, so I guess we will not be treated badly! ”

Zang Ba asked, "If Cao Cao is not defeated, then what should we do?" ”

Sun Guan said: "If the general and Cao Cao are evenly defeated, or even defeated, then we naturally have to protect ourselves." ”

Zang Ba shook his head and said, "If the general wins, we will go up to help." If the general loses, we have to go up and help. Tell the three armies, throw down the baggage and all other sundries, bring three days' food, and march at full speed! ”

Sun Guan was shocked and dissuaded: "Now that the situation is unclear, how can you act rashly?" ”

Zang Ba said: "If we have to think carefully before we can do it, then we just stay in Mount Tai, why bring troops here?" Wait, don't say much, just listen to my orders! If you don't want to go, just stay here and guard the baggage! ”

Among the thieves in Taishan, Zang Ba is the strongest, followed by Chang Xi. This time, Zang Ba brought Sun Guan, Wu Dun and others out, while Chang Xi stayed in Taishan's hometown. Although Sun Guan, Wu Dun and others also have thousands of parts each, they are not as unruly as Chang Xi. Moreover, they have always admired Zang Ba's martial arts, and they are also very satisfied with his fair attitude, so they immediately said: "Since the general is going south, how can we stand idly by?" ”

So Zang Bajun left three thousand old and weak, and the other soldiers and horses accelerated their pace and rushed to the direction of Pengcheng. When the army arrived near Liuxian, they encountered the Cao soldiers who had been scattered and fled everywhere. After the Taishan army captured some prisoners, they interrogated each other, and then everything became clear.

Although I don't know how the general defeated Cao Cao's 100,000 army with 20,000 people (in fact, there were no 100,000, at most 70,000 or 80,000), but this did not prevent Taishan's army from beating the water dogs. In the past few years, the Taishan army has been attacked by the Cao army. Now is the time for revenge and revenge.

The Taishan thieves are also known as the Taishan Qunkou, and the Yellow Turban Army, as well as the Black Mountain Army that evolved from the Yellow Turban Army, the White Wave Army has an essential difference, they not only rebelled against the government, but also plundered the people, and also suppressed the local Yellow Turban Army, entrenched in the Taishan area, becoming a special force.

But if you don't rely on these three things, it is not a long-term solution after all. Now that he can take revenge and show his face in front of the general, how can he not work hard?

Chen Cheng led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to cut off Cao Jun's army, and then pursued all the way south. After the Cao army in the north was defeated, it immediately fled to the north, preparing to flee to Juancheng, Fanxian, Dong'e and other places, but it happened to collide with the Taishan army in the south, and then they fought.

The two sides fought for half a day, Cao's army was defeated again, most of the soldiers and horses were either killed or captured, only Cao Chun escaped with more than 1,000 horsemen. Cao Chun took more than 1,000 remnants of the defeated army and fled to Dong'e in a hurry. Dong'e Shou was Xiahou Xuan, and after hearing that Cao's army was defeated, and the life and death of the lord Cao Cao were unknown, and his whereabouts were unknown, he was not shocked.

"You lead the elite of the tiger and leopard cavalry, how can you only care about running for your own life and throw the lord in danger?" Xiahoudun scolded Cao Chun loudly, "If the lord has any three longs and two shorts, what face do you and I have to live in the world?" ”

Cao Chun's face was full of shame, knelt on the ground and said: "The collapse of the army is beyond the power of manpower. I rode with tigers and leopards to charge into battle several times, trying to find the lord, but I was blocked by the Xiliang army. Originally, he planned to die on the battlefield, but thinking that the general was still holding on to the city, and the lord's family was also here, so he would report the news first, so that the general could prepare early! ”
