The battle began.

Guo Yan and Li Wei have the same idea, that is, they are both guarding against each other, lest the other party will pull their own hind legs when the war is stalemate. However, Guo Yan's choice of response to this was very stupid, and he thought that the number of soldiers and horses in his headquarters was equal to that of Cao Cao, so he decided to take the lead in the war, and destroy Cao Cao's army alone while Li Dao was still in action. In Guo Yan's opinion, as long as Cao Cao is defeated before Li Dao reacts, then the other party will naturally have no way to pull his hind legs, and when he takes the Han Emperor from Cao Cao, and then collects his defeated army, then he will surpass Li Dao by a large cut in terms of prestige and strength.

Guo Yan's mind can be said to be extremely naïve, and he doesn't know where he got his self-confidence, thinking that his army will definitely be able to defeat Cao Cao's army. However, in any case, under the impetus of this thought, Guo Yan set aside Li Dao and Zhang Ji's subordinates and took the lead in launching an attack on Cao Cao.

On the outskirts of Luoyang, the two armies faced each other, and Guo Yan ordered Wu Xi to lead 5,000 soldiers as the forward. On the Cao army's side, Cao Cao ordered Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao to lead a total of 3,500 troops as the vanguard—of which 1,500 soldiers from Gao Shun's camp were lined up in the center of the formation, Zhao Yun led 1,000 men on the left flank, and Zhang Liao led 1,000 men on the right flank—against Wu Xi's 5,000 men.

Gao Shun looked at this battlefield, and a feeling of nostalgia couldn't help but arise spontaneously from his heart. Isn't this the place where Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo's armies confronted each other at the beginning, and it is here that he experienced his first large-scale battlefield battle. And now, a few years have passed, and when he is here again, his identity has gradually changed from an insignificant Dubo in Ding Yuan's army to a general under Cao Cao's account, which can't help but make Gao Shun feel the impermanence of the world.

"Ambition to fall into battle!" Gao Shun raised the heroic gentian and pointed forward, shouting loudly in his mouth.

"I'm invincible!" The trapped camp sergeants behind Gao Shun answered in unison.

The trapped camp moved, and rushed towards Wu Xi's army without hesitation. And Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao's troops were closely attached to their sides, and attacked the front together with the trapping camp.

As the trump card division of the Cao army, there is only one reason why the trapped camp was thrown into the battlefield so early - Liwei!

Wu Xi's army array attacked almost at the same time as Cao's army, only to see the two forces collide head-on, and the battle on the outskirts of Luoyang City began.

Gao Shun's trap was like a sharp knife, stabbing a deep and long wound on the enemy's body. Wherever the spear in the hand of the trapped sergeant swung it, it must have ended with the fall of the corpse of the enemy soldier. The individual combat power of the soldiers in the trapped camp is really much higher than that of Wu Xijun, so that Wu Xijun has almost no strength to fight back in the face of the trapped camp.

Although the combat strength of Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao's troops is slightly inferior to the trapped camp, they are definitely brave divisions. As the vanguard of the two armies, although the Cao army was slightly inferior in numbers, the battlefield at this time was completely one-sided - the Cao army marched forward bravely, while Wu Xi's army was defeated and retreated.

Gao Shun, as the main general of the trapped camp, naturally rushed to the forefront of the whole army. I saw that the heroic gentian in his hand swung down suddenly, and then another enemy soldier was smashed on the spot.

Weighing forty-two pounds, the barrel of the gun made of pure iron, coupled with Gao Shun's own swing power, if it hits someone else's head, nine out of nine can kill the opponent on the spot. The feeling of stoning the enemy to death seemed to be really cool, and Gao Shun found that he seemed to gradually like this straightforward and brutal way of fighting.

In the face of such a fierce general, the soldiers of Wu Xijun hesitated, and no one wanted to die in vain.

And in other parts of the battlefield, there were fewer and fewer enemy soldiers who dared to approach Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun's side. In terms of martial arts, Zhang Liao is not inferior to Gao Shun, and Zhao Yun is even better than Gao Shun. The two men only made a few casual blows, and in an instant, a dozen people died under their spears and broadswords.

The soldiers were horrified by the might of Gao Shun and the others, and hesitated to step forward, while at this time Gao Shun set his eyes on the enemy general Wu Xi. Because Wu Xijun basically had no ability to resist when facing the trapped camp and Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao's subordinates, Cao's army advanced very quickly, and now the distance between Gao Shun and Wu Xi is less than twenty steps.

"Drive!" The opportunity must not be missed, seeing that the skill of slashing is close at hand, Gao Shun slapped the war horse under his crotch and rushed towards Wu Xi.

For Gao Shun's performance, Wu Xi witnessed it clearly, with his martial arts and courage, where did he dare to fight, and he also slapped his horse and fled to the rear at the moment.

One will flee, and the whole army will be defeated! Five thousand people followed Wu Xi and retreated to the rear in an orderly manner, and the scene was really chaotic. Seeing this, Gao Shun led the army to pursue the situation, and easily captured the heads of many enemy troops.

Guo Yan looked at the former army that had fled and returned, and his face changed greatly. If his Chinese army is attacked by the defeated army in front of him, and then is taken advantage of by Cao's army, then his tens of thousands of troops are likely to be wiped out here.

"How can this be reasonable, then Wu Xi is really useless! It has only been half an hour since the start of the war, and his army has already been defeated! Guo Yan scolded.

But what is the effect of just scolding? Even if Guo Yan scolded dryly, he couldn't change the fact that his Chinese army had already been impacted, and the formation began to gradually become loose.

Cao Cao himself obviously did not expect that the battle situation would go so smoothly to such a point, and now he also made a decision immediately and issued an order for the general attack of the whole army.

Destroy the wither!

The rest of the time was completely a one-sided slaughter by the Cao army, and the chaotic Guo Yan army was simply a fish on the chopping board at this time, at the mercy of the Cao army. Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xiahoudun and others all made great achievements, and Guo Yan's body was finally found in the chaos.

Before the war, the military strength of Cao Cao and Guo Yan was 50,000 to more than 55,000, and after the war, the total number of soldiers killed in Cao's army was 2,475, and the soldiers killed in Guo Yan's army were more than 20,000! Most of the remaining soldiers were taken prisoner by Cao's army, and a small half were deserters, scattered in all directions.

"Guo Aduo's army was wiped out, and even he himself died?" Li Wei's tone at this time trembled, he knew that Cao Jun was not easy to mess with, but he never imagined that the other party's strength would be so arrogant. Guo Yan may not be capable, but he also has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, but he didn't expect that after only one battle with Cao Cao, these tens of thousands of people were wiped out, and even Guo Yan's own life was taken into it.

And Jia Xu on the side, his eyes were full of brilliance. Cao Cao killed Guo Yan in a battle, which he did not expect in advance. Although it was foolish for Guo to set aside Li Dao and Zhang Ji and challenge Cao Cao's decision alone, Jia Xu initially thought that the two sides would be at a stalemate for a while. After all, although Cao Cao's army is powerful, most of the soldiers under Guo Yan are strong soldiers brought from Liangzhou back then, although the training may have become a little lazy in recent years, but it will never fall to the point of collapse at the touch of a button.

Cao Cao, Cao Cao...... Jia Xu has always been very conceited about his talents, but for Cao Cao, Jia Xu only feels that he is becoming more and more unable to see and understand the other party.

And at this moment, Li Dao is completely left with fear. If not long ago, he had some confidence in defeating the other party in the battle with Cao Cao, then now these confidence have long been lost, leaving only endless horror and hesitation. Although he doesn't like Guo Yan, he still knows Guo Yan very well. In terms of talent, he can't beat Guo Yan much, Guo Yan ushered in a complete fiasco in the face of Cao Jun, so I'm afraid he won't be much better.

"Guo Aduo, how could this guy be so stupid that he would abandon Zhang Ji and me, challenge that Cao Cao alone, and kill tens of thousands of troops in vain!" It's a pity that complaining about a dead person doesn't do anything, what to do now? Li Dao fell into deep distress and helplessness......
