Xu Chu knew in his heart that he and Li Mu had fought twice, and each time they were defeated, and he was not Li Mu's opponent at all. But now...... In order to give his father-in-law time to escape, Xu Chu could only bite the bullet and come to meet Li Mu.

Li Mu had already known in his heart that Xu Chu would not abandon Cao Cao and join his command. So...... Every move Li Mu made against Xu Chu was a fatal move.

In an instant, Li Mu and Xu Chu have been fighting for more than 30 rounds. Xu Chu didn't have much fighting spirit, and when he saw Cao Chun die in the hands of the Liangzhou army, he already had the intention of retreating. Moreover, Xu Chu was very surprised to find that Li Mu's marksmanship seemed to be ...... A little more refinement.

When Xu Chu and Li Mu staggered, they took advantage of this gap and glanced at the direction of their own military formation, but they saw ...... The soldiers of the Yanzhou army, like lambs, are being ...... by the iron cavalry of the Liangzhou army Wanton assault. Moreover, Xu Chu was very pleased to find that his lord had withdrawn from the encirclement of the Liangzhou army.

Xu Chu knew that he was not Li Mu's opponent, and he didn't dare to fight anymore, and he didn't want to die in vain. Xu Chu was in his heart, his thoughts had been decided, and when he was staggering with Li Mu again, he shook a knife in the direction of Li Mu, and then galloped and danced with a knife, and fled to the direction of his own camp.

Xu Chu's sudden escape really made Li Mu ...... Somewhat unexpected. Seeing that Xu Chu had fled into the chaotic army formation of the Yanzhou army, Li Mu did not continue to pursue, but rode his horse and speared and killed the Yanzhou army formation.

At this time, the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army had already been torn apart and scattered by the two cavalry of the Liangzhou Army, Long Xiang and Suzaku Cavalry, and it was already unpleasant. The soldiers of the Yanzhou army, fighting and retreating, slowly retreated to their own camp; The Liangzhou army was indomitable and fought to catch up, as if it was going to ...... the Yanzhou army outside the camp Kill them all.

Defeat is like a mountain! For more than a quarter of an hour, the Yanzhou army finally could not withstand the fierce attack of the Liangzhou army, and retreated in defeat and fled towards their own camp. The soldiers of the dragon horse and the Suzaku horse will naturally not give up...... The opportunity to chase and kill the Yanzhou army is also to catch up.

Seeing that the Liangzhou army, which was chasing all the way, was about to come to the camp, Yu Ban, who was in the camp, immediately passed down the general order...... Whether it is the Yanzhou army that stayed outside the camp or the Liangzhou army that came after them, they must all be shot. In order to be able to hold the camp, Yu Ban could only give up the Liangzhou army outside the camp.

With Yu Ban's general order handed down, the archers of the Yanzhou army, without the slightest hesitation, immediately opened their bows and arrows and shot at everyone outside the camp. These archers also know it in their hearts...... Once the Liangzhou army enters the camp, they will also be unable to escape death. In order to survive, they can only abandon ...... A comrade who has been born and died.

"Mingjin withdraws the troops, and the whole army retreats!"

Seeing that the arrows of the Yanzhou army, like flying locusts and rain, flew towards his soldiers, Li Mu immediately passed down the military order.

The soldiers of the Dragon Horse Cavalry and the Vermilion Bird Cavalry heard the signal to retreat, and immediately stopped the pace of pursuit and began to ...... Methodical withdrawal of troops. But...... The Liangzhou army still paid the price of a few hundred people.

Seeing the ...... The Liangzhou army slowly withdrew its troops, and the hearts of Yu Ban and Xu Chu, as well as the hearts of the entire Yanzhou army soldiers, breathed a long sigh of relief. For now...... I finally escaped today's catastrophe.

……

Yangqian Mountain, Liangzhou Army Camp, Chinese Army Tent!

Fu Yan strode to the big tent of the Chinese army, gave a salute to his lord, and then said in a solemn voice: "Lord! In this battle, more than 700 people were killed in our army. Most of these fallen soldiers were shot by the archers of the Yanzhou army. ”

Li Mu nodded, his expression was a little solemn, and he said in a deep voice with self-reproach: "At that time...... If you can see a good thing, you will not have such a loss. It's me...... It's too rushed! In the future, you must also remember today's lessons, do not repeat the mistakes of the past, and do not let the soldiers ...... Loss of life in vain. ”

Everyone nodded yes with solemn faces!

As Li Mu's words fell, there was a brief silence in the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Don't blame yourself!"

After a dozen breaths, Pang Tong stood up, bowed to his lord, and said with a sincere expression: "I didn't expect it...... In order to survive, the general of the Yanzhou army actually shot his comrades outside the camp. ”

As soon as Pang Tong's voice fell, Huang Zhong took over the conversation and said with relief: "Lord! In this raid on the Yanzhou army, the number of enemy troops killed by our army was at least 6,000 people. So do it...... Our army did not suffer too many losses. ”

"In the end...... Or is it my responsibility! ”

Li Mu nodded, his face still a little solemn and muttered. Immediately, Li Mu diverted the topic and asked loudly: "From what you see...... What methods should our army use...... in order to defeat the ...... completely Yanzhou Army? ”

Li Mu's voice landed, and Pang Tong, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Fu Yan, Zhao Feng, and Gao Xiang began to think deeply.

"Lord!"

After a long time, Pang Tong seemed to have thought of a countermeasure, and immediately, Cheng Zhu said in a firm voice in his chest and expression: "Judging from the battle between the two armies today...... The Yanzhou army has long been demoralized, the soldiers have no will to fight, and the military spirit of the Yanzhou army is ...... It is close to collapse. At this time, our army should not attack in a hurry, but only need to block the retreat of the Yanzhou army...... That's it! When the Yanzhou army completely collapsed, it was ...... When our army went on the offensive. ”

"What Shi Yuan said is exactly what I want!"

Li Mu nodded, and said deeply for Pang Tong's proposal. Immediately, Li Mu hesitated thoughtfully: "Judging from the current situation...... I'm afraid it's ...... Cao Mengde won't last long! If it's as expected...... Cao Mengde will be in time before the collapse of the army's morale...... Led his troops to break through and returned to Yingchuan County. ”

"What the lord said is true! Although Cao Mengde has been defeated in consecutive battles, he is not incompetent! Cao Mengde knows the situation of the Yanzhou Army better than anyone else. If the Yanzhou army does not break through as soon as possible...... It will be completely annihilated by our army. ”

Pang Tong nodded, and seconded a few words in agreement. Immediately, Pang Tong told the thoughts in his heart, "There are only two routes for the Yanzhou army to withdraw to Yingchuan County, one is to go south through Yangqian Mountain; The other is to advance eastward to Songgao Mountain and retreat from the lofty mountains of Songgao Mountain. ”

Li Mu thought less, and asked with a smile: "As far as Shiyuan has seen, which way will Cao Cao go?" ”

Pang said loudly with a smile on his face: "Cao Mengde's retreat, the lord's heart is down...... I'm afraid it's already bottomed out! ”

Li Mu didn't say a word!
