Cao Cao knew through the news transmitted from Chang'an City that Yang Ding was an internal response, and Yang Ding would not send troops to support after eating Hu Zhen, but on the contrary, if necessary, he could defect and work with his troops to overthrow Li Ru, Dong Jin and other Western Liang troops.

The three people in charge of this sneak attack were Cao Cao's generals Xiahou, Shi Lian, and Han Hao.

The three leaders approached Hu Zhen's camp and saw that the camp guards were not very strict and a little loose.

The three of them immediately led the army and rushed to the camp gate, and Xia Hou opened the camp gate with a shot and rushed in.

The patrolling Hu Zhen was shocked, immediately sounded the alarm bell, and then rushed out of a group of soldiers.

However, the three of Xiahou were bold, killing and rushing, and the Hu Zhen department continued to collapse.

Soon the trio had captured most of the camp.

However, Hu Zhenbu also seemed to be prepared, and came out through another side door that had been prepared earlier.

This made Xiahou and others, who originally wanted to kill a lot of people, punch the cotton, and then Hu Zhenbu set fire to the camp and destroyed the village, while blocking the attack of Xiahou and others, and on the other hand, went around to the gate of the camp to intercept Cao's army.

At the same time, he sent someone to ask Yang Ding in the camp next door for assistance.

"General Yang, the Cao army did not keep its promises and attacked our army's camp at night, and now our army has withdrawn from the camp and set fire to the camp, please go with our army to surround the Cao army, as long as you can leave this Cao army, my general said that he is willing to share with General Yang."

Yang Ding's face was overjoyed and replied, "Okay! This is to bring the troops over, you go back and tell General Hu Zhen first, I will definitely help him. ”

It's just that after the person who reported the news left, Yang Ding's face showed a tangled look, whether to save Cao Jun or not, he would be exposed in advance if he was saved.

If you don't save it, if all these Cao soldiers die in battle, can Cao Cao still believe in you and accept me?

Will the locusts come to me to settle the autumn account?

"That's it, sooner or later, it's better to let Cao Cao owe me a little favor!" Thinking of this, Yang Ding put his knife on his horse and said to the soldiers:

"Come out of the camp with me, I will take you back tonight to fight for a great merit, don't ask why? In order to control anyone, all obey my orders, kill whoever I say, attack when I say attack, and get out of the camp! ”

Yang Ding came to the back of Hu Zhen after leaving the camp with his generals, and just when Hu Zhen thought that his friendly army was coming, Yang Ding suddenly ordered: "Attack, help Cao Jun get rid of thieves, kill Hu Zhen and other rebels, and save the Son of Heaven!" ”

Yang Ding took the lead in rushing towards Hu Zhenbu.

The guards were stunned, but they still followed closely behind Yang Ding and killed Hu Zhen's department.

Yang Ding is the boss, just follow the boss, when the soldier eats food, whoever gives the food pays and follows whom.

Not to mention beating Hu Zhen, even beating Li Ru, there is no problem in killing Dong Jin.

Therefore, the soldiers under Yang Ding's department didn't think much about it, and after being a little surprised, they carried their weapons and urged their horses to rush to Hu Zhen's department.

Hu Zhenbu was caught off guard, and the rear team was attacked by Yang Ding, and the team was immediately in chaos.

"Damn! Yang Ding...... Yang Ding, this dog thief, ahhhh ”

Hu Zhen was so angry that he was about to die, Yang Ding, this guy turned out to be a traitor, he should have supported himself, he should have come to relieve the siege, but Yang Ding, the dog, was attacking him.

When Xiahou found out about this situation, he was immediately overjoyed, and took Cao Jun from the main gate of the camp and attacked Hu Zhen with Yang Dingjia.

Hu Zhenbu suffered more casualties and collapsed faster.

Seeing that Yang Ding and Xiahou were about to join forces to eliminate Hu Zhen, suddenly a team of men and horses came out behind Yang Ding.

Moreover, Yang Ding's camp was also killed by a small force, and then the camp was set on fire.

Yang Dingbu was also taken aback and taken aback.

was suddenly attacked by others, which really surprised everyone, and even Yang Ding was blindsided.

He was attacked, and he was the one who attacked others.

"Kill! Kill Yang Ding, the big traitor, the brothers are good men in Xiliang, don't follow Yang Ding and flash to the side immediately, otherwise you will die! ”

It turned out that the person who killed was Dong Jin, and I saw him riding in the lead, wielding his weapon, and brazenly smashing into Yang Dingbu, who was either killed and dismounted or was so frightened that he dodged to both sides.

Dong Jinbu also took advantage of the situation to kill in, and Yang Dingbu fled or surrendered when they saw this.

Everyone is the Xiliang Army, there is no need to fight to the death, and nominally Dong Jin is now the supreme commander of the Xiliang Army.

What's worse is still to come, just when Dong Jin killed Yang Ding, another group of men and horses came from the north and killed directly towards Xiahou, who had just left the camp.

The leader was Fan Chou, who should have been arranged in the middle, blocking the forefront of Cao Cao's army head-on.

But the sudden appearance in the north really shocked Xiahou and the others.

Fan Chou was originally a rare fierce general in the Xiliang Army, with superior force, extremely brave, and daring to fight and kill.

A group of iron horsemen rushed over, and immediately scattered Xiahou and the others, and stomped into the charge.

Hu Zhen was overjoyed and surprised when he saw the two friendly armies come out.

It turned out that Li Ru had already calculated that Yang Ding was a traitor, and ambushed two large armies near him, so Hu Zhen led his generals to kill Yang Ding's army.

He wanted to twist off Yang Ding's dog head with his own hands.

Remove this traitor.

In the face of the joint attack of Dong Jin and Hu Zhen, Yang Ding was bitter, scolded in his heart, and waved his weapon to kill his subordinates.

Since Li Ru saw through him, it would be useless to stay.

However, there were fewer people who were willing to follow him to rush out and kill, and there were more soldiers and generals surrounded by Hu Zhen and Dong Jin, and Yang Ding couldn't rush out at all.

"Yang Ding will die!"

Dong Jin found Yang Ding, urged the horse to rush over, and stabbed him with a shot.

Yang Ding swung his knife and slashed, but instead held Dong Jin's gun, ready to snatch his blade, and simply captured Dong Jin, so that he could escape safely.

However, Dong Jin did not entangle with Yang Dingduo, let go of the gun in his hand, and pulled out the Huoyun Sword that he was best at from the back of his body with his backhand.

With the long sword in his hand, like a negative sky, Dong Jin threw his sword and hit Yang Ding's wrist.

Yang Dingyi was in pain, and the spear he had just snatched in his hand fell off his horse.

"Poof!" Dong Jin's sword was extremely fast, and it was another challenge, and Yang Ding was also injured by a sword and fell off his horse.

But he wasn't dead, he was wounded.

Dong Jin leaped down, and a sword was crossed on the neck of Yang Ding, who got up and wanted to run.

Yang Ding immediately fell to the ground and begged: "General Dong spares his life, the lord spares his life, I am also a ghost for a while, let me go, I'm just a dog, I ......"

Just when Yang Ding was begging for mercy, suddenly the right flank of the Xiliang Army burst into flames, and the sound of roaring and shouting came.

Xiahou and other Cao generals, who were scattered by Fan Choubu, finally showed a hint of relief when they saw the fire in the south.

Xiahou laughed and said: "Hahaha, Li Ru, Dong Jin'er and others think that our army will only attack me tonight?" Hahaha, your right wing is finished, you have fallen for the clever plan of several military advisors in my family. ”

After finishing speaking, Xiahou led Shi Jian and Han Hao to retreat while fighting.

Fan Chou didn't dare to chase too far, intercepted and killed some people and came over to join Dong Jin.

Dong Jin stared at the south for a few moments, and this one sighed slightly.

Li Ru originally wanted to use this opportunity to find out Yang Ding, a traitor, and ambush the incoming Cao Jun by the way.

Unexpectedly, in the end, Cao Jun was better than the others and attacked the right flank of his army.

"Cao Cao, bastard, he betrayed me."

Yang Ding was not stupid, he was obviously bought, Cao Cao didn't care about his life or death at all, he just used this opportunity to attack the camps on both wings of the Xiliang army, severely damaging the morale of the Xiliang army and weakening some soldiers and horses.

regretted not taking refuge in the Yang family at the beginning.

However, at this time, Yang Ding's remorse was not in a hurry, and he saw Dong Jin draw his sword and slash.

Yang Ding's neck shot out a line of blood, and then Yang Ding fell down softly.

"Let's go! Rescue the right flank. Dong Jin saw that Fan Chou was leading the army, so he ordered him and Hu Zhen at the same time.

The three divisions then rushed to the right flank.

When he came, most of Guo Yan's camp was burned, Guo Yan himself was killed in battle, and almost all the soldiers and horses were destroyed.

A quarter of the dead and wounded were carried out.

However, Cao Cao took advantage of it and retreated.

Li Ru was afraid that Cao Cao was attacking the camp, so he gathered all his soldiers and horses in two camps to fight against Cao Cao.

It's also a good thing that there is no inner response this time, and you don't have to worry about so many armies gathering together to appear in the scam camp, but they are being hacked by their own people.

Following!

After dawn, Cao's army beat drums and left the camp, and each team lined up in formation under the leadership of the main general to prepare for a field battle.

"Priority student, how sure are we of winning?"

After a night of tossing, the Xiliang army eliminated Yang Ding and Guo Yanbu, and its strength was greatly lost.

And Cao's army has not weakened much, and it is still very strong.

Dong Jin couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw the formation of Cao Jun on the opposite side.

Li Ru still had the same cold voice, staring at Cao Jun's formation and asked, "Why is Zili afraid, does Zili regret taking over the position of the eldest prince?" ”

"I don't regret every decision I made, it's just that my Xiliang Army is now panicked, there is a shortage of major generals, and there is a lack of strength in the face of Cao Jun." Dong Jin said:

"Cao Cao's generals are fierce, and the two Xiahou and Cao veterans are all unstoppable enemies, and they are added to Duan Xuan's service, and their strength is above our army."

Li Ru said with half-eyed eyes: "Don't worry about the words, Cao Cao is mostly a foot soldier, our army is all cavalry, although the number of our army is less than him, but the comprehensive strength is stronger than him." ”

Cao Cao only had one iron horseman, that is, the tiger and leopard horseman, and the number was definitely not more than five thousand, and it was also composed of the remnants of the army that was defeated by the Xu Ding Department in the land of Kanto.

Compared with Xiliang Iron Ride, it is not a grade at all.

As for Duan Xuan, his total strength is in the early 2,000s, less than 3,000.

And he doesn't fight often, although he is a member of the Xiliang Army, but he is not social, if it weren't for Dong Zhuo's appreciation of his clansmen in the Sanming section of Liangzhou, and his clan's prestige in Liangzhou and Guanzhong, how could he let him sit and guard such an important checkpoint as Huayin.

After Dong Zhuo's death, in order not to cause turmoil, Li Ru did not have time to evacuate Duan Xuan in a hurry, so that it caused today's disaster.

Although Li Ru has a plan for poison and a clever plan, he also has his own limitations, and he can't make a plan for a long time.

That's his shortcoming.

Otherwise, he would not have been defeated by Cao Cao's strategists last night.

After all, Cao Cao is not a smart brain around him who is making ideas.

As the saying goes, one person counts short, and everyone counts long, and so it is.

"The comprehensive strength is stronger than Cao Cao!" Dong Jin didn't look back, but glanced left and right.

There are only three Xiliang generals left: Li, Hu Zhen, and Fan Chou, and the Xiliang army has long thought that it is not the previous Xiliang army, and three of the four are Qiang soldiers.

There are not many Han soldiers who can really fight.

These Qiang soldiers heard that as long as the front was defeated, they would not fight to the death at all, but fled like a honeycomb, and they couldn't control it.

Because the Qiang people only fight for food, only for themselves, whoever gives food, whoever promises them will follow him.

It's essentially a mercenary, not loyal enough, and not binding.

The combat effectiveness is even worse than that of the Han family.

"In the battle last night, our army successfully deceived the enemy, and obtained a two-way record of killing the Xiliang bandits Guo Yan and Yang Ding, today we will wipe out all the Xiliang thieves, and return the world to a bright future, the generals will listen to the order, attack and break the enemy!" Cao Cao stood tall on the chariot, then drew his sword and pointed forward.

The drums of war were beating.

With Xiahou as the front, Cao's saber and shield soldiers began to move forward and slow, while the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen followed Duan Xuan's Xiliang army did not move on the left and right flanks.

Cao Cao's Chinese army, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other troops did not move.

"Cao's army, the Chinese army and cavalry have not moved, how to deal with it!" Lee asked.

Li Ru said: "Then first break its front, attack its front two wings with the left and right parts, and force Cao Cao to use the Chinese army or cavalry." ”

Dong Jin understood Li Ru's meaning and said to Li and Hu Zhen: "You two attack, you don't need to rush into Cao Cao's front team, attack its two wings, mainly cavalry shooting, if Cao thief cavalry moves me and General Fan are sending troops to encircle and suppress Cao's cavalry, to destroy its cavalry as the first priority, in breaking its army."

If Cao Cao's army dispatches the Chinese army, General Fan and you will break through the Chinese army first, and I will intercept its cavalry.

Whether you can break Cao is today, I hope you will work together to resist the enemy, this defeat of my Xiliang death, if I win and I will share the wealth and wealth with you in Chang'an. ”

Li and Hu Zhen and Fan Chou showed a smile on their faces and were slightly excited.

This Dong Jin is a reasonable person, and he is willing to come out with sweetness and promise to inspire everyone.

For this one, they have to work hard.

None of them will end well, and Cao Cao will definitely chase and kill them, and they will be spurned by those families.

Victory, they can go back to Chang'an to show off their might, further make their prestige and blessings, and worship the ancestors of Xiangguang Sect.

"Kill!"

Li and Hu Zhen both drew their weapons and led their headquarters to rush towards Xiahou's front team.

Cao Cao asked in the carriage, "Zhongming, whose troops are these two horses?" ”

Duan Xuan was born in Xiliang General, and he knew better about the inside of Xiliang General than Cao Cao and everyone else, and looked at it a few times and replied: "Back to the lord, this is Li and Hu Zhen's department, Li on the left, and Hu Zhen on the right."

In terms of official rank, Hu Zhen is high, and there are still many soldiers and horses, but in terms of combat effectiveness, Hu Zhen is not as good as Li.

Hu Zhen is one of the original five lieutenant generals under Dong Zhuo, and his official rank is higher than that of Li, Fan Chou and others.

But this guy is not as ruthless in fighting as Lee.

Cao Cao stroked his beard and bowed slightly, and then said to Le Jin: "Wen Qian, you go and cooperate with Yuan Rang to intercept Hu Zhen." ”
