Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Battle That Ends (continued)
Baling, Wei Yan's camp, when Zhong Xuan saw Wei Yan's camp, he sensed that something was wrong. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It's quiet, it's too quiet, it's more like an empty camp.
It was also Wei Yan's carelessness, in order to avoid being seen through, in the entire barracks, only a few torches were flickering with a faint light, which made Zhong Yan see the flaws at a glance.
"Your Excellency?" The accompanying generals also noticed that something was wrong, and turned their heads to look at Zhong Xuan.
Zhong Xuan took advantage of the faint light to look at the 'soldier' on the gate who had not moved for half a day, and gestured to the military general with his eyes.
The military commander took his bow and arrow, and the arrow cluster broke through the air, and an arrow did not enter the body of the 'soldier', and the 'soldier' didn't even react at all.
"Damn! Wei Yanxiao'er, you dare to bully me, so where is Li Bao? Chop me off! Zhong Xuan's complexion changed, and at this time, he didn't know that he had fallen for Wei Yan's trick to surrender, so his complexion changed and he said sharply.
The military general hurriedly sent someone to look for it, and after a while, a small colonel rushed over and said in a low voice: "My lord, that Li Bao killed two of our soldiers and fled." ”
"Bastard! Pass my military order, change the rear team to the front team, and withdraw the army! Be on guard for an ambush. Zhong Xuan scolded angrily, and hurriedly led the troops to withdraw, so since Wei Yan left an empty camp for himself, he must have a backhand.
Sure enough, as soon as the brigade began to retreat, a gong suddenly sounded on both sides of the empty camp, and two teams of men and horses came out from both sides of the empty camp and came towards this side.
"My lord, you go first, I'll cut it off!" Seeing the surging army behind him, the troops began to be chaotic, although Zhong Miao was powerful, but after all, he was not a general, and he was not good at marching and fighting.
"General be careful." Zhong Xuan nodded heavily, at this time, he didn't care about any politeness, and hurriedly led the soldiers and horses to kill in the direction of Xinfeng.
"The general He Man is here, and the thief still hasn't given the head!" When He Man saw that someone had broken it, he was immediately furious, and rushed up, and before he finished speaking, the copper rod in his hand had already been picked up.
He Yi He Man's ability is not big, but there is a strength, and then Xiongkuohai voted Lu Bu, the two saw that Xiongkuohai martial arts are strong, and it is also a cooked copper stick, not less and Xiongkuohai set of friendship, martial arts under the guidance of Xiongkuohai is also advancing by leaps and bounds, and now a stick is pulled out, a large piece of Cao Jun was smashed and flew, and the fierce momentum directly suppressed the morale of Cao Jun after the break.
"Ugly ghost, look at the gun!" The military general shouted angrily, not to be outdone, rushed up, turned the steel gun in his hand, and stabbed He Man.
"Hey!" He Man dodged away, threw the copper stick in his hand directly up, the military general let out a miserable scream, and was directly smashed off the horse by He Man with a stick, stepped forward, stepped on the general's chest with one foot, snatched the spear in the opponent's hand with his backhand, turned the spear and stabbed it into the general's chest.
Picking up the cooked copper stick, seeing that Zhong Xuan's army had fled away, he was angry, roared angrily, like a mad tiger, and directly killed into the crowd, the copper stick was thrown away in the crowd again and again, and no one in the Cao army could catch him along the way, but in a moment, he killed the rear of the Cao army.
As soon as the military general died, it had made the broken Cao Jun panic, and at this moment he saw He Man rampage in the formation, and suddenly had no heart to fight, I don't know who it was, the first one threw away the weapon, and ran away, and the rest of the Cao Jun also ran away in a panic one by one, and he really couldn't escape, so he knelt on the ground and raised the weapon above the top, making a surrender.
He Man defeated Cao's army, and after kneeling on the ground, he left two tun men and horses to take over the surrender army, and then led the large army to kill and run away in the direction where Zhong Xuan fled.
However, it was said that although Zhong Xuan saw through Wei Yan's fraudulent surrender, it was too late, and after leaving the broken troops, he ran all the way to Xinfeng, and halfway through, Zhong Xuan's heart suddenly flashed a chill, and his heart moved, and he hurriedly stopped the march.
"My lord, why stop the march, the enemy army is about to catch up." A military marquis stepped forward and looked at Zhong Miao anxiously.
"I remember, the banner played by the ambush soldiers before was not Wei Yan's banner, right?" Zhong Xuan had an ominous premonition in his heart, looked at the military marquis, and asked in a deep voice.
"What is it?" When the marquis heard this, he thought for a while.
"Since Wei Yan is not here......" Zhong Xuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "We can't go back to Xinfeng." ”
"Why is that?" The military marquis was puzzled.
"Xinfeng camp and even the county seat, I'm afraid it has been broken by Wei Yan, we rush at this time, I'm afraid we will collide with Wei Yan." Zhong Xuan said bitterly, he didn't expect that he would be led by a little-known general.
"How's that to be?" When the military marquis heard this, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he said anxiously.
"For today's plan, Xinfeng can't stay for a long time, I'm afraid that the battle report over there in Huaili is also false, the Xiliang army may have been defeated, we bypass Xinfeng and go back to Hanoi." Zhong Xuan looked at the west, although it sounded incredible, but only in this way was enough to explain why Wei Yan, who was still wavering before, was suddenly so decisive, and a strong sense of frustration suddenly rose in his heart, thinking that this time he invited the Xiliang army, coupled with Cao Jun's containment from the side, he would definitely be able to break Lu Bu and make Lu Bu his stepping stone, who would have thought that in the end, he didn't even see Lu Bu's face, so he was killed by a general under Lu Bu's command and lost his armor.
"Whoa!" The military marquis and most of the generals had no idea at the moment, so they could only listen to Zhong Xuan's words, and the group immediately changed lanes and headed towards the west.
The night was thick, and He Man and his men couldn't detect the traces left by Zhong Xuan, and chased towards Xinfeng until they met Wei Yan on the road.
"Homan? Why are you here? What about Zhong Xuan? Wei Yan looked at He Man and asked with a frown.
"Back to the general, that Zhong Xuan seems to have seen through the general's strategy, and after circling outside the camp for a while, he suddenly withdrew his troops, and the last general chased after him all the way, but he didn't meet it." He Man looked dazed.
Wei Yan frowned, and then his face changed slightly: "It's not good, it must be that Zhong Xuan didn't see General Ben, and guessed that General Ben might take advantage of the situation to attack Xinfeng, so he directly gave up Xinfeng and went back to Hanoi!" ”
"How's that to be?" He Man frowned.
"Chase!" Wei Yan snorted coldly, although there are not many troops left around Zhong Xuan, but if he can capture Zhong Xuan, that is the greatest feat, how can he give up, at the moment, the two of them joined forces together, and turned around and headed towards Hanoi.
After Zhong Xuan bypassed Xinfeng, he took the soldiers to rush overnight, until dawn, Zhong Xuan came to the bank of a small river under the escort of a group of armor soldiers, and saw that there were no pursuers in the rear, only to breathe a sigh of relief, a group of defeated troops together with Zhong Xuan, rushed overnight, and was already sleepy and tired.
"My lord, there is a force in front of you, look at the flag, it's Gao Shun's troops!" While drinking water by the river, a scout suddenly rushed back and said bitterly to Zhong Xuan.
"What!?" Hearing this, Zhong Xuan's face showed a look of despair, his eyes looked at the troops who had appeared in his field of vision, he suddenly pulled out his sword, and said sharply: "Back to the water!" ”
In the distance, Gao Shun naturally discovered this rout.
"General, it's Cao Jun!" Chen Xing came on a horse and said excitedly.
"Oh?" Gao Shun looked at Cao Jun who was arrayed not far away, and from a distance, he saw a middle-aged scribe with extraordinary bearing standing out in the crowd, although he didn't know who it was, but seeing Cao Jun protecting him in the middle, he thought that he was extraordinary, sneered, and waved his hand: "Attack!" ”
"Kill!" There was no need for Gao Shun to command, and the army behind him quickly formed an attack posture, and with heavy steps, he pressed towards Cao's army without hurrying.
The soldiers under Gao Shun's command were all elite soldiers who had just experienced a tragic battle, and with Gao Shun's order, a strong oppressive force accompanied by that slow and firm pace quickly spread and pressed towards Zhong Xuan.
Suddenly, Zhong Xuan's complexion changed, and the face of Cao Jun, who was exhausted around him, also changed.
