On the bank of the river, looking at the slowly flowing river, the air was filled with a depressing atmosphere, Zhong Xuanyou looked around, last night with 3,000 men and horses out of the camp, until now, there are only less than 1,000 remnants of the defeated generals, crowded on the not spacious river beach, desperately watching Gao Shun's troops approach step by step with steady steps.

Zhong Miao knew that this was not because the other party was kind enough to give him time to prepare, but because he wanted to twist them into the river.

Although it is now spring, the northwest is still not warm, and even if you are not killed on the spot, you may not be able to reach Hanoi.

"Puff~" Several Cao soldiers couldn't bear the oppression brought by Gao Shun's army, and jumped into the river with a puff.

"Alas~" Zhong Xuan sighed softly and pulled out his sword and put it on his neck.

"Slow down, sir!" A military marquis grabbed Zhong Xuan in surprise, pointed to several soldiers in the river and said, "Look, my lord, the river is not too deep, and you can cross the river on horseback." ”

Following the instructions of the military marquis, I saw a few soldiers in the river, walking to the opposite bank, the river only overflowed the chest and abdomen, and if you rode a horse, you could easily cross it.

"My lord, cross the river quickly, we will stop the thief army!" Junhou pulled Zhong Xuan and said, although the river is not deep, if the whole army runs over, I am afraid that the enemy army on the opposite side will not be so leisurely, they will rush up as soon as possible and kill the Cao army in the river, in that case, I am afraid that even Zhong Xuan will not be able to cross the river.

"That's it!" Zhong Miao hesitated for a moment, nodded fiercely, the matter has come to this, it can only be like this, took a deep look at Gao Shun's handsome banner, Zhong Miao secretly swore in his heart that he would lead the army back one day, and he would be ashamed of today!

Under the urging of the military marquis and a group of personal soldiers, Zhong Miao finally had a ruthless heart, and rode his horse into the river, the river was really not deep, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and hurriedly urged the war horse under his seat to move forward quickly.

"Brothers, fight to the death!" The Marquis of Cao Jun raised the spear in his hand, roared angrily, and shouted.

"Kill~Kill~Kill~" Cao Jun knew that he would die, but at this moment, he inspired infinite fighting spirit, howled and danced the weapon in his hand, and provoked Gao Shunjun, who was getting closer and closer.

In the distance, watching Cao Jun break through the trapped beasts, Gao Shun frowned and ordered: "Archer, release the arrows!" ”

"Hum~"

With Gao Shun's order, the 1,000 archers in the rear indifferently opened their bows, set up their arrows, pulled the strings and then let go, and a thousand feathered arrows quickly converged into a dense dark cloud in the air, crossing arcs in the air, with a sharp whistling sound, falling like endless raindrops, and playing a desperate death movement on the not spacious river beach.

In the river, Zhong Xuan, who was about to arrive on the other side, turned his head to look, but saw that the Cao army was ruthlessly shot by the arrows of the thief army without concealment, and his heart was dripping blood, the five thousand Cao army almost mobilized all the troops of Chang'an and even Luoyang, Cao Cao is now actively preparing for a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, for a long time in the future, it will be impossible to transfer a soldier to the land of Sanfu, these five thousand soldiers are the last barrier of the land of Sanfu, and now this barrier is gone, does it not mean that there will be more than Sanfu in the future, Even Si Li's area was completely exposed to Lu Bu's iron hooves!?

It was only at this moment that Zhong Miao had to admit that he had indeed underestimated Lu Bu, and he had fought thousands of miles just for a down-and-out Guanzhong, if it was a few years earlier or later, Lu Bu would never have today's situation, it can only be said that Lu Bu's choice to take root in Chang'an is really good at this point in time, just stuck at the critical point of the decisive battle between Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, the two giants in the north, whether it is Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, can not take care of Lu Bu at this time.

If Lu Bu chose to re-establish his foundation in places like Nanyang or Runan, it would be just another Liu Bei, who had occupied almost half of Runan and Xuzhou counties, but was driven by Cao Cao in less than a month, Guan Yu was trapped in Pi, but Liu Bei was gone, although Nanyang was emptied by Lu Bu, but it also indirectly removed the hidden danger of Zhang Xiu for Cao Cao.

Although Lu Bu is also a threat now, but in fact, there are two buffer belts of Luoyang and Hanoi, Zhong Miao believes that neither Yuan Shao nor Cao Cao will pay attention to Lu Bu at this time, and when the two sides decide on the northern overlord, it will be difficult to clean up Lu Bu.

On the river beach, as Gao Shun's army approached step by step, there were fewer and fewer figures who could stand, just when Gao Shun was ready to wipe out the remnants of the Cao army in one go, on the official road in the distance, there was a burst of dust, and another army of soldiers and horses rushed towards this side.

"It's Wei Yan." Chen Xing turned his head to look at it, and saw that it was his own banner, and said to Gao Shun with a smile.

Gao Shun nodded, and was about to give the order to make the final charge, when in the oncoming team, a military general Pegasus came, and from a distance, he heard Wei Yan shouting loudly: "General Gao, be merciful!" ”

"Huh?" Gao Shun waved his hand, asked his subordinates to suspend the attack, turned his head to look at Wei Yan who was rushing over, and frowned: "General Wei, why did you intercede for Cao Jun?" ”

"General!" Wei Yan swallowed his saliva, looked at the dozens of Cao troops scattered on the river beach, and said with a wry smile: "The thief leader Zhong Xuan is the patriarch of the Yingchuan clan, if this person can be captured, it may be helpful to the great cause of the lord, and at the worst, he can also negotiate with Cao Cao." ”

"Oh?" Gao Shun's eyes lit up when he heard this, he felt that the scribe in the crowd was extraordinary, and he didn't want to have such a background, but when he looked at it, he saw that Zhong Xuan was surrounded by several soldiers, and he was about to reach the other side, Gao Shun and Wei Yan's faces couldn't help but change, and Gao Shun said sharply: "Quickly solve the battle!" ”

"Kill!" The marquis of Cao Jun looked at the enemy soldiers who pounced, and let out a roar of despair, but in an instant, his body was pierced by several spears, and with a hideous look on his face, he poured the spear in his hand into the body of an enemy soldier before swallowing his last breath.

On the other side, Zhong Xuan had already gone ashore, but the war horse was stuck in the river and could not come out.

"Crunch~" Chen Xing's face showed a cold color, and he suddenly opened his bow and arrows, wanting to shoot Zhong Xuan with an arrow, since he couldn't be captured, he couldn't let him go back and continue to help Cao Cao attack.

"Stop!" A hand suddenly stretched out and rested on the shaft of the arrow.

"General?" Chen Xing looked at Gao Shun puzzled.

Gao Shun didn't speak, his hand on the pergola looked towards the opposite bank, Chen Xing looked in the direction of Gao Shun suspiciously, but saw that in the distance on the other bank, I don't know when, a large number of dense crowds appeared, it seemed, it looked like refugees, but among the refugees, there were many knights walking back and forth, as if driving the refugees forward.

"It's Zhou Cang!" Wei Yan's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw Zhou Cang, who was walking towards this side with a big knife in the team.

"Zhou Cang, capture this person alive!" Gao Shun shouted loudly, but Chen Xing had already rushed directly into the river on horseback and chased towards the opposite bank.

On the other side, Zhong Miao finally crossed the river, and was breathing a sigh of relief, when he suddenly heard someone shouting on the other side of the river, and hurriedly stood up, and saw a cavalry rushing towards him, looking at the equipment and banner, it was clearly Lu Bu's troops.

Why are Lu Bu's troops here?

For a moment, Zhong Miao only felt dizzy in his head, and an indescribable depressed breath surged up, and in the exclamation of several guards around him, he screamed, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fainted directly.
