At this time, the people in the army were panicked, and Huang Zhong had elite cavalry, even if Cao Cao wanted to order the army to kill back, he could only suppress the anger in his heart.

Outside the Eagle's Beak Ridge, Cao Cao could hear the sound of boulders falling and soldiers screaming from inside the ridge from time to time, his brows were furrowed, he really didn't expect Huang Zhong to be so bold, and really dared to set up an ambush in the Eagle's Beak Ridge, and what made him most angry was Cao Ang, who died to protect himself.

"My lord, the state army is familiar with the terrain of Hanoi, and when the scouts explored the Eagle's Beak Ridge, they did not find any trace of the enemy." Xun You said ashamedly.

Cao Cao said coldly: "As a scout, I failed to find out the traces of the enemy army, and executed all the scouts who explored Eagle's Beak Ridge to set an example." ”

"Whoa." Xun You arched his hand, he knew that at this time, the most important thing was to appease the soldiers in the army, and someone had to come out to talk back about the fiasco of Fang Cai.

This time when he encountered the attack, Xun You was very depressed, he specially told the general in charge of the scout, but he didn't expect to let the Bingzhou army set up an ambush in the eagle's beak ridge, but the matter has reached the current situation, even if it is said more, it is difficult to recover the loss, even the general in charge of the scout this time is difficult to spare, Cao Ang died on the battlefield, which is a big impact on the army.

The soldiers of the Cao Army who were left in the Eagle's Beak Ridge were under tremendous psychological pressure, the terrain in the Eagle's Beak was not dangerous, and the situation of falling from the halfway point of the mountain was enough to show its power to the fullest, and more soldiers did not die on the boulder, but died on the accidental injury of the robe.

Eagle's Beak Ridge was able to allow five people to pass, but at this time, the panicked Cao army had no one to command the order, and the army was in chaos, and the sergeants and soldiers scrambled towards the exit, and no one wanted to bear the feeling of a boulder from above Eagle's Beak Ridge.

However, after coming to the entrance, these soldiers were a little desperate, at the entrance of Eagle's Beak Ridge, it was like a fierce Sun archer, many Sun Archers had already put their bows and arrows on the bowstring, just waiting for Huang Zhong's order to start harvesting the lives of the enemy.

The actions of the princes' coalition forces in Hanoi made the Lieyang Archers not have the slightest favor for the soldiers of the Cao army, and wished that all these people would die in the Eagle's Beak Ridge.

Huang Zhongyun shouted with all his strength: "Those who descend will not be killed!" ”

When he said this, Huang Zhong was also a little unwilling in his heart, but thinking that these soldiers were also Han Chinese, they could be regarded as their own masters.

The first reaction of many Cao soldiers when they heard this shout was to discard the blade in their hands to the designated place, take off the armor on their bodies, and wait for Huang Zhong's fall.

More and more soldiers chose to surrender, and for those who remained hesitant or loyal to Cao Cao, a rain of arrows would take their lives.

In this battle, Huang Zhong captured 3,000 soldiers of the Cao army, and the Cao army who died in the eagle's beak ridge was at least 2,000 people.

After gathering the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, Huang Zhong led the victorious army in the direction of Huguan, and on the way, he learned through the captives that it was Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang who was shot that day, and Huang Zhong was a little satisfied.

During the march, after Sun Ce got the news of Eagle's Beak Ridge, he secretly rejoiced, and at the same time had deep doubts about the overall level of Cao Cao's strategists, Cao Cao was absolutely extremely powerful in the eyes of other princes in the past, and his fierce generals were like clouds and strategists like rain, but they were defeated in Eagle's Beak Ridge.

Perhaps seeing Sun Ce's doubts, Zhou Yu said: "It's not that there are no top strategists in Cao's army, but Cao Cao may not be able to listen to it." ”

Sun Ce nodded slightly, as a monarch, being too soft at some times will always give people a feeling of being bullied, which is also something that is extremely taboo for the superiors, and what the superiors need to think about is how to let the talents under them play a huge role and truly make the best use of things.

"Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang actually shot Huang Zhong to death, this Huang Zhong's archery skills are really powerful, and when you meet this person in the future, you should not be underestimated." Sun Ce said.

Although they escaped, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's mood did not improve in the slightest, and both of them understood that after returning to Jiangdong this time, they would be greeted with greater difficulties.

The news that the Cao army and the Jiangdong army gathered 70,000 troops and 40,000 and the state army were defeated in a decisive battle outside Huguan spread at a very fast speed in the prefectures and counties near Huguan.

Although Yuan Shao chose to return to Jizhou, he was still very concerned about the battle in Huguan, and he understood that as long as the Bingzhou army failed in this engagement, the Youzhou army in Jizhou could be better defeated.

Hearing the information that the princes' alliance army was defeated and corpses were all over the field, Yuan Shao was speechless for a long time, he couldn't have imagined that the princes' alliance army, which was still strong a few days ago, had failed, and it was so completely defeated.

"The 70,000 army fought against the 40,000 Bingzhou army, and it was defeated by the Bingzhou army, and Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang set up an ambush for Huang Zhong to shoot in the eagle's beak ridge." Yuan Shao's expression was full of disbelief.

Not only Yuan Shao, even the strategists of the Jizhou army did not expect the Jiangdong army and the Cao army to be defeated so quickly, it is foreseeable that after Cao Cao and Sun Ce left, it was difficult for the Jingzhou army to do anything in Chang'an, so that Jizhou, which provoked the incident at the beginning, could it still be spared, not to mention that now in Jizhou, the Youzhou army has occupied Zhongshan and Julu County.

"Lord, in this way, Jizhou is in danger." Feng Ji Dao.

Yuan Shao nodded with a heavy face, Jizhou can be said to have reached an unprecedented critical moment, and at this time there is not much time left for the Jizhou army, if the Jizhou army can drive the Youzhou army out of Jizhou before the merging army frees up, there is no possibility of holding Jizhou, the number of Youzhou troops in Jizhou has reached 30,000, and there are terrible cavalry such as wolf horses.

Judging from the news from Jizhou, the wolf cavalry at this time is a more terrifying cavalry than the flying horse, the power of the flying cavalry lies in the powerful impact force, and it can still be done to deal with the first dead soldiers, but the wolf cavalry has a strong destructive power, just imagine, you can know how terrifying the armored war horse on the battlefield is, once the charge is up, the person who dares to step forward to stop the person can only die.

"In your opinion, what should I do?" Yuan Shao set his eyes on the strategists in the tent.
