Zang Ba is a battle-hardened general, he knows that the current situation, even if he rushes to support in time, he is afraid that this sky-high fire will be difficult to extinguish, not to mention, there is no wind and no waves, his heart is faintly uneasy, with the instinct of the beast, he smells the breath of the storm.

And not far away in the Tiger Prison Pass, the fire just started, Li Ru who was standing on the city tower saw it, looking at the rolling flames, Li Ru's fox eyes, and squinted to reveal a cunning smile, waved his hand behind him, and the Lingqishou beside him hurriedly gave the order, and in the Tiger Prison Pass, the Xiliang soldiers who had long been ready to sharpen their knives Huo Huo stared at the Lingqishou on the city wall with wide eyes, and after receiving the order, Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun behind him, and nodded at the two of them, Fang Tianhua's halberd was raised above his head, and then fell suddenly, The cold halberd head pointed straight at the city gate.
The Xiliang soldiers guarding behind the city gate hurriedly opened the city gate, "crunch..."The huge and heavy city gate was pushed open by dozens of soldiers, the crack in the door had just opened, a red rabbit horse with a fiery red body, had galloped out, Zhang Liao Gaoshun followed, tens of thousands of Xiliang warriors, like the barbarism that escaped, the torrent of slag, black pressure, the tide swept out of the tiger prison pass, ten thousand horses neighed, the iron cavalry roared, 50,000 Xiliang cavalry, indomitable, like a flood beast, just out of the city, the earth-shattering sound, It was like a stormy wave, and all the Allied soldiers who were in a panic were alarmed.
Even if the allies were excited, they didn't have time to respond in time, because Yuan Shao's order today was to let the soldiers rest well and fight to the death with Dong Zhuo tomorrow.
"My lord, something is wrong, we have been tricked."
Ten Kwantung princes, Cao Cao's team is the most neat, the most timely response, since the discovery of the fire of grain and grass, Cao Cao's team gathered together early.
Cao Cao's soldiers are mostly recruits who have just been recruited, but Cao Cao has always been strict in military discipline, he is not only good at arranging troops, but also good at managing troops, so his team, far more decisive and timely than the teams of other princes, although the grain and grass caught fire, Cao Cao did not send people to fight the fire, because Xi Zhi persuaded Cao Cao in time.
Turning his head to look at Xi Zhicai, Cao Cao nodded appreciatively, "As Mr. expected, it's just that this situation, with my Cao Cao, I'm afraid it's difficult to resist." ā
Cao Cao's side, full of calculations, only 5,000 people, after all, there are tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers, although Xi Zhi expected that the other party would come to steal the camp, but now Cao Cao, even a little remorseful in his heart, because, once the enemy is rejected, his soldiers will immediately suffer heavy losses, and it is very likely that the whole army will be destroyed.
Although Xi Zhicai was like a god, when the Xiliang soldiers came up like a tide, Cao Cao's face suddenly changed color.
Other princes, some have not woken up yet, and some have just opened their eyes, if Cao Cao ignores the life and death of those princes, and directly orders the team to get out of the way, indeed, his soldiers can avoid losses, but in the future, once the truth is known, Cao Cao will be blamed and spurned by the Kwantung princes.
Frustrated his beard, Cao Cao gritted his teeth violently, and pulled out the Qingyu sword from his waist, "Sanjun Erlang, come with me." ā
After speaking, Cao Cao clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and directly led people around the flank, avoiding the main force of the Xiliang army. Xi Zhicai, who was following behind Cao Cao, shook his head secretly, Cao Cao did this, he naturally understood that Cao Cao had a last resort.
However, if Cao Cao did this, the Xiliang soldiers could directly rush into the hinterland of the allies, and the other princes of the Nine Roads had not reacted yet, and the consequences were unimaginable, and the allies were defeated in this battle from the very beginning.
Cao Cao chose a compromise method, which seemed to be in front of the allies, but he did not confront the Xiliang soldiers head-on, but went around to the flank to kill.
If Cao Cao resists the enemy head-on, he can give the other princes of the Nine Roads time to prepare and avoid a crushing defeat, but in that case, Cao Cao's soldiers will not survive nine times out of ten.
"Hey..."
Xi Zhi looked at the back of Cao Cao swinging his sword and riding his horse to fight hard, and shook his head helplessly.
Without Cao Cao to buy time for the other princes, Lu Bu and these people were like bamboos, and directly broke into the camp of the allied army, and the Xiliang soldiers rushed to the front with a devastating momentum, and the allied generals who did not react were even in their sleep, either burned to death, or trampled to death by iron horses.
Zhang Liao quickly glanced at the battlefield, and saw that Cao Cao was the first to react, although he killed on the flank, it still made the Xiliang soldiers pay a lot of price, Zhang Liao hurriedly reined in and turned around and shot at Cao Cao.
The entire Allied camp was suddenly full of murderous sounds, and it was a mess, and the Allied soldiers who didn't have time to wear armor ran around barefoot and barefoot, like headless flies, and in a blink of an eye, they were knocked over by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and fell to the ground, and the ruthless horses' hooves stepped on their bodies fiercely, and the cold knives and guns couldn't stop piercing into the bodies of the Allied soldiers.
Screams, crying, crying for help, following the wind, the impact of blades, the roar of horses' hooves, completely mixed together, the whole world, have become chaotic, 200,000 Allied soldiers, although the number is several times that of the Xiliang soldiers, but, in the face of the Xiliang soldiers' horse rush, the allied soldiers, one by one frightened ghosts roaring and screaming, scattered and fled, even if occasionally there are people with commendable courage and willing to sacrifice their lives to fight to the death with the Xiliang soldiers, because they cannot organize an effective formation, they can only die tragically under the swords and guns of the enemy soldiers.
Tao Qian's camp, I don't know if the luck is good or bad, their camp, in the rear of the allies, said that Tao Qian was unlucky, because they were responsible for guarding the grain and grass, suddenly Liu Guanzhang to ignite a fire, his soldiers, the first to become panicked, in Liu Guanzhang's horse rush, the casualties of the Xuzhou soldiers are not small.
said that he was lucky, at least, the Xuzhou soldiers did not bear the brunt of being regarded as a 'target' by the Xiliang soldiers.
Wang Kuang, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Kong Rong, these princes were the first to face the rush of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and more than half of the generals didn't even understand what happened until they died, so they lost their heads and lost their lives.
"Whoosh......"
Lu Zhuo chased Liu Bei while riding a horse, and at the same time bent his bow and shot arrows, and the cold arrows that killed him flew out with a roar, shooting straight towards Liu Bei's heart, but Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were all clustered around Liu Bei, and the cold arrows shot by Lu Zhuo were knocked away by them one by one, and they did not hurt Liu Bei at all.
Seeing that Liu Bei was about to rush out of the camp of the Xuzhou soldiers, Zang Ba urged the horse to dance the knife, led people out of the oblique stab, and blocked Liu Guanzhang's way.
"It's good to come." Lu Zhuo was ecstatic in his heart, and tightened the bowstring again.
"Liu Bei." Suddenly he shouted, Liu Bei subconsciously turned his head back, and at this moment, Lu Zhuo's face sank, and he suddenly released the bowstring!
