Whether it was the Jizhou light cavalry led by Jiang Yiqu or the Yanzhou light cavalry led by Xiahou Yuan, after seeing the mass of sand in the sky, they all decisively chose to give up the task and leave the battlefield. But what the two armies didn't expect was that the battle just now was so fierce, and Pang De had been reluctant to send elite Nanyang crossbowmen. It is better to use the crossbowman at the last moment at the risk of increased casualties.

Yuan Cao's cavalry, who was on the run, didn't notice that there was such a team behind him. Although five hundred people are not many, they can't resist the super fast attack frequency of the repeater. Many of the cavalrymen didn't know what was going on, and they were shot in the back. The strong ones can still ride their horses and hold on for a while, and the weak ones fall off the horse and die. In this wave of retreat, the casualties of the Yuan-Cao coalition army were almost equal to the previous fierce battle. Han Meng died in battle, and more than half of the Jizhou light cavalry were killed or wounded. Xiahou Yuan was fine, but there were only more than 1,000 cavalry left in Yanzhou. After the more than 3,000 horsemen merged, they did not dare to return to the original road, and turned to the east and fled towards the hinterland of Chenliu County.

After Zhang Liao led the flying cavalry army to arrive, he did not pursue Xiahou Yuan's defeated army. Zhang Liao sent 1,000 men to help Pang De clean up the battlefield, rescue the wounded, and collect the available crossbow and arrow armor. The remaining 9,000 retreated to a dense forest on the west side of the Ucha Army, where they reined in their whereabouts and waited for the second wave of prey to take the bait.

Pound's Fucha soldiers suffered 1,000 casualties, and there were less than 4,000 capable fighters. Pound ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot, replenish water and dry food, and accumulate strength. By the time the three generals Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Cao Ren arrived at the battlefield with 15,000 people, Pang De had already led the Fucha army to regroup, without fear.

The three generals Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Cao Ren thought that Han Meng and Xiahou Yuan should have been driven away by Zhang Liao's flying cavalry, and Pang De had already gone through a big battle, and his current appearance was just pretending, so they stepped forward to persuade him to surrender.

Zhang He said: "General Pang is a fierce general of Xiliang, why bother to work for the Nanyang Army?" It's better to surrender to my lord, who could have been your recommender! ”

When Pang De heard this, he laughed and said, "You Yuan Jiang is a wonderful person!" It's better to report your name first! ”

"This general Zhang He between the rivers, the word is Junyi, and he is the general of Ning Guozhong under the command of Jizhou Mu!" Zhang He reported his name.

"You Zhonglang will not be taken seriously! There is neither an appointment by the Son of Heaven nor a jade seal of the country. It's just your Yuan Shao's self-styled one! In this case, if you are willing to surrender to my lord, and serve Your Majesty together! Pound is also willing to recommend you, at least to be a captain approved by the Son of Heaven! Pound persuaded Zhang Hedao.

Zhang He said angrily: "Ben will pity you for your loyalty and bravery, and I don't want you to die on the spot." Do you not know what to do, and are you ready to fight to the death? ”

"Dead in vain?" Pound laughed again, threw a bloodstained head in front of the formation, and asked loudly, "Do you mean him?" ”

Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Cao Ren took a closer look, and their faces all changed greatly, who is this head not Han Meng?

Cao Ren was suddenly in a hurry, stepped forward and said: "Don't go, the enemy general, dare to ask where General Xiahou of our army is now?" ”

"Xiahou Yuan? Feel relieved! Without Xiahou Miaocai's cooperation, how could our army successfully kill Han Meng? He's safe! Pound said unscrupulously to Cao Ren.

Cao Ren was stunned, and obviously felt that Zhang He and Gao Ran's eyes had changed when they looked at him.

"Thieves don't slander our army! General Xiahou will definitely not be in the same boat as you! Cao Ren hurriedly made his position clear, and explained to Zhang He and Gao Ran by the way: "This is the discord between the thieves and generals, and the two generals must not fall for it!" ”

Zhang He nodded and said, "It can't be fake, it can't be fake." ”

Gao Ran also nodded and agreed: "Clean up the remnants of Pang De's army, torture them strictly, and naturally the truth will be revealed!" ”

"Good!" Cao Ren stood up and said, "Then our army will fight this battle!" Kill Pang De and avenge General Han Meng! ”

Cao Ren organized the Yanzhou soldiers under his command and launched an attack on Pang De's grain and grass defense array. The floating chacha army under the command of Pang De showed no weakness and launched a fierce counterattack.

"Junyi, the state of this Nanyang army is not like the remnants of the army after a fierce battle?" Gao Ran paid attention to the battlefield and reminded Zhang He meaningfully.

Zhang He nodded and said, "Jingzhi is reasonable!" The Nanyang Army clearly has a lot of spare strength! Inform the primary schools under your command to increase their vigilance, there may be danger here! ”

As soon as Zhang He's voice fell, he saw that 10,000 horsemen and horses suddenly appeared in the dense forest on the west side of the battlefield, led by a general, holding a crescent halberd, and the guards behind him held a huge banner with the word "Zhang", who is Zhang Liao, who is not the general of Guangwei?

"Not good! There is an ambush! Formation! Zhang He exclaimed loudly!

Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Cao Ren originally came to meet Han Meng and Xiahou Yuanjun, but they did not expect the appetite of the Nanyang army to be so big, and they thought of eating more than 15,000 people of Yuan Cao's coalition army. Thinking of Han Meng's tragic death, Xiahou Yuan is nowhere to be found, Zhang He and Gao Ran don't know how to do it, this batch of so-called "important grain and grass" is just a bait thrown by the Nanyang Army!

"General Cao, leave the official road quickly! Zhang Wenyuan's flying cavalry army charged up, and the six relatives did not recognize it, and it was not good to hurt his own family! In the middle of the battlefield, Pound's loud voice sounded again. Zhang He and Gao Ran obviously knew that Pang De was deliberately telling the two of them, and the suspicion of sowing discord was extremely serious, but for a while, the two still didn't dare to believe Cao Ren anymore.

Gao Lanyi gritted his teeth and said, "Junyi, break through!" If the Nanyang army comes again, or the Cao army...... The 10,000 of us will repeat the mistakes of Han Meng! ”

Zhang He glanced at Cao Ren, who was fighting, squinted, and said ruthlessly: "Break through!" ”

After Zhang He and Gao Ran were stimulated by Pang De repeatedly, they became jealous of Cao Jun, and Zhang Liao's flying cavalry was famous, in the spirit of dead friends not poor roads, the two ran away very unjustly. Left Cao Ren's 5,000 men behind and left them to the Nanyang army to devour. Cao Ren's show of goodwill suddenly turned into a donkey's liver and lungs.

Fortunately, Cao Ren was not stupid, and after discovering Zhang Liao's flying cavalry, he immediately paid attention to Yuan Jun's movements. He was also afraid, afraid of being betrayed by the Yuan army, afraid of being surrounded and annihilated by the Nanyang army. Sure enough, the actions of Zhang He and Gao Ran were really guessed correctly by Cao Ren. The two hesitated for a moment, and began to retreat towards the road they had come from with 10,000 Yuan troops. Cao Ren's hatred, if he sticks to it, the number of Yuan Cao's coalition army is still above Nanyang County, and it is not certain who wins and who loses! What's more, this place is not far from the Zhongmu camp, and it is not bad to send fast horses to ask for help. But the reality is that Zhang He and Gao Ran chose the least trusting approach to Cao Jun - to run away alone.

"If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!" Cao Ren immediately gave the order for the whole army to retreat.
