Yuan Yun never thought that the ordinary soldiers of this era could break through the firepower of the rifle and gun array, and even rushed all the way to him, if it weren't for the protection of his own soldiers, these Cao Ren infantry holding huge iron shields almost cut off his head.

Although the mines in the canyon wiped out the 1,000 enemy troops who had entered the third group, Cao Ren's soldiers, who had already passed the canyon and had not yet passed the canyon, quickly joined forces, and without any connection between the two sides, they began to think that the gunpowder army on the canyon launched a death raid.

The bravery of the soldiers at the end of the Han Dynasty, until this moment, Yuan Yun really saw it, these people were not afraid of life and death at all, and they did not choose to retreat with a huge iron shield, but advanced against the projectiles of the rifle, these iron shields are estimated to be made by Cao Ren in order to prevent the powerful steel crossbow in Luoyang, and the performance can barely block the attack of bullets.

It is also because of the existence of such an iron shield that some particularly heroic Cao Ren soldiers just went around the position of the Gunpowder Army and copied it from the side, and obviously came to the position of the main general of the Gunpowder Army.

When five or six people suddenly appeared in front of Yuan Yun, the surrounding pro-soldiers didn't even find anything, only Xiao Liu's spiritual sense was the highest, and the first one shot out of the arm crossbow, shooting a guy wielding a ring-headed knife through the neck, and then the other pro-soldiers reacted, and they all set up arm crossbows, shooting all these five or six people in front of them.

Immediately afterwards, more Cao Ren soldiers followed, forcing Yuan Yun to draw out his big sword and start resisting, relying on his black armor to protect him, he killed the two of them, but he also received two very fierce knife slashes in the chest, and his internal organs were almost displaced.

At the same time, more than 1,000 Cao Ren's soldiers finally entered the rifle position from the front, which immediately caused a lot of confusion in the gunpowder army, although the gunpowder army soldiers also had melee weapons, but in the panic, it was difficult to organize effective resistance, and finally under the command of Zhuge Liang, the gunpowder army that was still shooting in the rear team all put down their rifles and changed to melee weapons to rush forward, only to defeat the more than 1,000 Cao Ren's soldiers, and such a result also completely relied on the bravery of the gunpowder army, as well as their strong armor.

By the time the second group of Cao Ren's troops arrived, the Gunpowder Army had already gained experience, and the whole team began to retreat, and the enemy was fired, and after some movement, the opponent's combat numbers were greatly reduced, and the formation also collapsed.

It was not until this moment that the Gunpowder Army finally took the initiative on the battlefield and began to gradually send out a team to clear the remaining enemies, and it was also at this time that Yuan Yun learned that Cao Ren had escaped safely.

"Cao Ren's soldiers are really well-trained, almost all of them are fierce soldiers, even if we disconnect them from front to back and lose contact with each other, they can still organize an effective attack on their own, it seems that they are all experienced veterans of a hundred battles, it is a pity that they are all consumed here." After Yuan Yun sighed, he glanced at the battlefield that was smoking everywhere, and his brows furrowed again, because he saw that the Gunpowder Army had also lost a lot of manpower.

Zhuge Liang had just finished dealing with the follow-up arrangements at this time, and when he heard Yuan Yun say this, he shook the feather fan lightly and said: "Although it is a pity that these damaged warriors are destroyed, but there are also benefits of eliminating them, the lord has ever thought that if we deal with Yizhou or Jingzhou, Cao Ren leads these people to stick a knife in our backs, it will be a big disaster, so we will defeat them together this time, which is equivalent to removing the troubles, Liang believes that after this time, Cao Ren will have no chance to rise, and the reason why Prime Minister Cao Cheng has always relied on Cao Ren, I'm afraid it has a lot to do with these elite soldiers under him, and now that they are all lost here, Cao Ren has lost any value, and he can really only go to the field to farm. ”

Yuan Yun was a little puzzled when he heard Zhuge Liang say this, and said: "I ambushed Cao Ren this time, and I am ready to be punished by Prime Minister Cao, why did Brother Kong Ming say as if Prime Minister Cao Cheng was happy to see this result?" ”

Kong Ming still shook the feather fan and said: "Because Prime Minister Cao Cheng is the same as our worries, that is, he is afraid that Cao Ren will use these thugs to do some things that should not be done at the most undesirable time, although he has lost a lot of combat power at this moment, but now that there is Luoyang in the north, the combat power will only rise steadily, and Prime Minister Cao Cheng can not see it, so although the lord ambushed Cao Ren this time, Liang dared to guarantee that Prime Minister Cao Cheng would only turn a deaf ear, after all, a large part of the plan to prepare this battlefield in Luoyang is what Prime Minister Cao Cheng meant." ”

"Lord, do we still want to chase Cao Ren?" Xiao Liu came on a horse at this time and hurriedly asked.

Yuan Yun glanced at the gradually darkening sky, shook his head, and said: "No need to chase, Cao Ren at this time will definitely escape faster than anyone else, and there are still four or five hundred soldiers to follow, if we catch up, in case we are ambushed by him again, we will lose more brothers, so let him escape." ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Yun glanced at Zhuge Liang again, and said: "After cleaning up, we will return to Yecheng immediately, it has been so long, what Sima Yi wants to do is probably done, let's go back and see what he tosses again." ”

At this time, Cao Ren had already left the battlefield for thirty miles, and the guards around him were all pro-soldiers who followed him all the year round, and they were also some of the most loyal people around him.

Looking at these soldiers, Cao Ren couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, he has won battles all year round, and it is rare to see such an expression on the faces of his subordinate soldiers, although he can escape hundreds of people this time, but the elite troops that he has always been proud of, this time it is all explained.

At this time, an adjutant general came to his side, and then arched his hand and said: "General, we are now rushing back to Yecheng overnight, and then after a little repair, we can borrow troops from other generals who have good friends, so that we can return again, maybe we can also shoot an ambush on the way back to Yuan Yun's son." ”

Hearing this, Cao Ren wiped a handful of black ash on his face, then sighed desolately, and said: "There is no need to return to Yecheng, the old man has now lost the most powerful group of manpower, and he is like a waste in Cao Chengxiang, the purpose of our coming to Yecheng this time is actually to compete with Yuan Yun in Luoyang, and now we have lost, and now we are just suffering from white eyes when we go to Yecheng." ”

Speaking of this, Cao Ren paused slightly, then stood up in an instant, pointed to the location of Xudu in the north, and continued: "We will return to Xudu directly, and the supply can be carried out in Chenliu, and now that Cao Zhen is guarding there, he will definitely not treat us badly." ”

This time Cao Ren paused again, then looked back at his embarrassed subordinates, and then sighed again, and said: "You have also followed the old man for so many years, this time we are defeated, it is better to simply quit, and in the future, you will go to farm with the old man, and the old man will naturally ensure the life of your family." ”

Seeing that the main general was already so disheartened, they all felt strange in their hearts, they didn't want to really go home to farm, they had fought for half their lives, and now let them revert to an old farmer in the field, naturally they were unwilling, but now that Cao Ren said so, he could only nod and agree, hoping that the coach in front of him could change his mind later.

A group of several hundred people gave up Yecheng in the east, and diverted to Chenliu in the north, and walked for three days, although there was a lack of food and grass, but there was no shortage of hunters in the army, and the food could barely support it.

On the fourth day, it was finally close to the river, so Cao Ren ordered to camp in advance so as to retain his strength to cross the river on the second day, and at the same time sent scouts to Chen Liu to report the news, hoping that Cao Zhen could bring someone to come and answer.

Before the evening arrived, Cao Ren's camp had been built, but the entire army was depressed with Cao Ren's will, and it seemed very sluggish.

Cao Ren didn't bother to pay attention to this, he was really disheartened now, and only thought that after returning to Xudu, he would resign from Cao Pi, and then return to his hometown.

After the sky was all darkened, Cao Ren was tasting the mountain rabbits hunted by the soldiers in the camp tent, but suddenly heard a commotion from the edge of the camp, and in an instant he found that the fire was everywhere.

When Cao Ren rushed to the outside of the camp, he saw chaos in the firelight, a large number of people with their faces had rushed into the camp, and the scene was chaotic, and his own soldiers not only needed to hurry these days, but also had very little food, and they had long lost their physical strength.

Suddenly, I heard one person shouting loudly: "On the order of Prime Minister Cao, kill the criminal minister Cao Ren, and those who block it are all capital crimes!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all Cao Ren's soldiers slowed down their movements, especially several of Cao Ren's lieutenants, they even began to stop their subordinates from coming forward to resist, these days with Cao Ren, these people have somewhat felt that lifeless taste, hoping that once this kind of thing is gone, then the disappearing thing is not just loyalty.

The knight who shouted saw that there were not many people to stop him, so he galloped wildly, and took several other knights to the big tent of the Chinese army in an instant, and at this moment he happened to see Cao Ren standing in place with an inexplicable face, so he did not hesitate to raise his sword and fall.

Cao Ren only felt a chill in his neck, he already knew what was happening, but he was no longer full of desolation at this moment, but infinite anger, because these people were definitely disguised, with his understanding of Cao Cao, it was clear that the order was absolutely false, these people came to the camp, just to take his head.

All kinds of thoughts kept flashing before Cao Ren's head moved, and finally a shocking thought finally came out, these people were sent by Sima Yi, so cutting off his Cao Ren's head, and then blaming Yuan Yun, this would definitely make Cao Cao angry.

Amusing!

It's ridiculous that he has this bit of value left in the end, and when Cao Ren's thought arises, he has already seen his neck sprayed with blood, and everything is over at this moment.

After Sima Chong cut off Cao Ren's head, he looked back at the camp slightly, and saw that all Cao Ren's soldiers had put down their weapons, so he ordered one of his attendants beside him: "Don't leave any behind!" ”
