Lu Bu's eyes were dim and silent, it was not that he was afraid of Zhang Fei. Instead, Lu Bu clearly knew that he was not completely sure that he would be able to kill Zhang Fei.

More than half a month ago, when Chen Cang was fighting, his pride in looking at the world, looking at the sky, and looking at everything had already been consumed by Dian Wei, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Li Mu.

Moreover, Lu Bu knew in his heart that Zhang Fei and Ma Chao's martial arts were only between the best. He couldn't kill Ma Chao, so how could he hurt Zhang Fei in the slightest?

Instead of winning or losing with Zhang Fei, it is better not to make a move, and to give the enemy a face!

Niu Fu and Xu Rong looked at Lu Bu several times and signaled him to fight Zhang Fei again. Lu Bu just didn't see the looks of the two, he still looked at Zhang Fei's direction, and was silent!

The shouting and killing sound from the east bank of Bianshui finally brought Niu Fu, Xu Rong, Li Su and others back to their senses.

……

In fact, when Xu Rong and Li Su on the west bank of Bianshui led their troops to besiege and kill the coalition army. Dong Yue, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, and Wang Fang on the east bank of Bianshui launched an attack on Bao Xin, Xiahoudun, and Cao Ren at the same time!

Long before the enemy attacked, Bao Xin and the three of them led the soldiers to line up against the pontoon bridge. The three of them set up a defensive cart on the periphery of the grain cart and formed a defensive cart array. Inside the formation, five rows of sword and shield soldiers were in front, and crossbowmen were behind.

Although Bao Xin's department only had 6,000 people, he dragged Dong Yue and Fan Chou's 10,000 people on the east bank of Bianshui, so that they could not occupy the pontoon bridge, could not cross Bianshui, and could not go forward to encircle the main forces of Cao Cao and Liu Bei!

When defending, the power of the formation was maximized. Dong Zhuojun attacked, broke out, and retreated countless times, but he couldn't shake Bao Xin's department!

What greatly boosted morale was that when Wang Fang broke through with his soldiers, he was beheaded by Cao Ren.

Therefore, Bao Xin's department was able to hold on for such a long time, and waited until the main forces of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who returned to the west, to defend the retreat for the main army!

……

At this time, Zhang Fei and Xiahou Yuan led troops to guard the west bank of Bianshui.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Le Jin, Tian Yu, Cao Hong, and Cao Chun led the soldiers through the pontoon bridge, crossed the Bianshui, and joined Bao Xin's troops!

The morale of the coalition forces has once again risen sharply.

Cao Cao ordered the army to drive into formation and send troops to kill Dong Zhuojun.

Under the leadership of Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, Le Jin, Tian Yu and others, the soldiers of the coalition army, who were afraid of death, rushed to kill Dong Zhuojun, who had not had time to retreat!

With only one rush into battle, Dong Zhuojun was defeated for thousands of miles, and he lived up to the strength to fight again.

Dong Yue, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji were so shocked that they saw that the general trend had gone. Immediately, the three of them fled all the way to the upper reaches of Bianshui with the defeated soldiers.

Xiahoudun and Cao Ren led their troops to cover more than ten miles, and then withdrew their troops back to prevent Dong Zhuo's army on the west bank of Bianshui from storming the pontoon bridge.

Besides, when Niu Fu, Xu Rong and the others came back to their senses, Dong Zhuo's army on the east bank of Bianshui was retreating.

"As General Xu Sees ......"

Niu Fu glanced at the east bank of Bianshui, then looked at Xu Rong, and muttered: "Our army wants to storm the pontoon bridge and rescue General Dong and them?" ”

"In the foolish opinion of the last general, General Dong, their defeat is decided, but there is no worry about their lives! At this time, it is in vain to storm the pontoon bridge! ”

"Governor! This has come to this, let's wait and return to the camp! ”

Xu Rong glanced at the direction of Zhang Fei and Xiahou Yuan, and then glanced around at the battlefield on the east bank of Bianshui, sighed in his heart, and immediately said in a deep voice.

"Captain Li...... What do you think? ”

Niu Fu nodded slightly, turned to look at Li Su, and asked in a deep voice.

"The last general seconded what General Xu said!"

In a hurry, Li Su couldn't think of a better way, so he immediately seconded Xu Rong's proposal to withdraw from the army!

"That being the case, the army retreats westward to the camp!"

Niu Fu glanced at the crowd, and glanced at the direction of Zhang Fei and Xiahou Yuan very unwillingly, and then said in a deep voice: "General Lu, General Zhang is broken!" ”

Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu responded, and took the order after the break!

Dong Zhuojun slowly retreated, and the coalition forces did not chase after him!

……

In this battle, the coalition army lost more than 8,000 people, and there was no loss of food, grass and ordnance; beheaded the enemy generals Li Meng and Wang Fang, and beheaded more than 13,000 enemy troops; Hundreds of usable horses and four or five carts of ordnance were captured!

The coalition army camp on the east bank of Bianshui!

"In this battle, the enemy army is twice as large as our army, and our army can be regarded as a small victory!"

Le Jin looked at the battle report handed over, and saw that Cao Cao and Liu Bei's faces were solemn, and then hesitated: "Lord Gong, Xuande Gong...... Why is it so sullen? ”

"Our army is already less numerous than the enemy, and besides, Dong Zhuo's army is not a rabble. This battle is a small victory for our army, and for Dong Zhuo's thief...... Failed to move its bones! ”

After a long time, Cao Cao said in a solemn voice: "Duke Wei is saving me and Xuande...... Die on the battlefield! A small victory, how can it make up for the hatred and guilt in my Cao Mengde's heart? ”

Before Cao Cao's words fell, Liu Bei had already sighed, looked up at the top of the tent, and looked at the top of the tent with a sad and solemn face!

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, everyone's expressions were sad and solemn! There was a dead silence in the tent!

"Xiangri, I escaped from Luoyang and died all the way to Chenliu. Wei Gong is grateful for the righteousness of the world, scattered all his family wealth, and helped me raise troops to fight thieves! ”

Cao Cao slowly swallowed a sip of wine, and said in a deep voice with a lonely expression and a sad tone: "Looking back on the past, it is still yesterday!" I will never see Wei Gong again in this life...... I can't see my son, I promise ......"

"Defend the public and die! He is a role model for my generation! ”

"Can I wait for An to avenge this deep hatred and blood hatred? Lu thief and Dong thief are not only the traitors of the country, but also the enemies of my Liu Bei's life! ”

"Mengde! Liu Bei is willing to lead his troops and horses to cross the Bianshui River to the west, pursue the enemy army, and fight to the death! ”

"If you can't win! Liu Bei is willing to die! ”

Liu Bei's hatred and anger were unbearable, and the battle intent in his chest was boiling, so he immediately stood up, came to the center of the big tent, and said in a loud voice with an angry face.

"Xuande hates in his heart, can Cao Cao An know?"

Cao Cao was greatly moved, immediately stood up, and said in a deep voice: "It is really unwise to advance lightly!" I have a plan to break the enemy's army! ”

"Mengde, hurry up!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed and asked urgently.

"Three quarters of an hour later, the army burned down the Bianshui pontoon bridge and withdrew east to the Tiger Pass."

"Two days later, we led thousands of elites to cross the river from the lower reaches of Bianshui. Surely you can fight the thieves! ”

Cao Cao's thoughts have been decided, and he is in the chest.

"Mengde's clever plan!"

Liu Bei thought less, and then said loudly: "Surprise, attack it unprepared!" Can the enemy army be undefeated? ”

"Mengde, Xuande, and take a break, I'll go and prepare for the withdrawal of troops!"

Bao Xin also thought deeply of Cao Cao's strategy, and immediately gave a salute to Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and then went out of the big tent!

Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others carefully deliberated on the withdrawal of troops!
