Chapter 298: Burning the City

Although Liu Bei has made a life-fighting posture, the formation is not chaotic.

There is also a detachment of men and horses, still watching the battle from the rear. Rather than spectators, it would be better to describe it as surveillance. The costumes of those soldiers and horses were obviously different from those of Yuan Jun who entered the battlefield. All of them are white-clad and clothed, with a left shield and a right knife, revealing a fierce atmosphere. Although Liu Bei has made a life-fighting posture, the formation is not chaotic.

White Soldiers!

Liu Bei's most elite Bai Wei soldiers...... There are not many confrontations between Cao Ying and Liu Bei, and the crusade against Tao Qian is counted once, and then I am afraid that it will be the Battle of Runan.

But this did not hinder Cao Ying's understanding of Liu Bei.

The courage of Bai Wei thought that it also made Cao Ying greedy at the beginning. However, now that he has three elite soldiers, Wuwei, Tiger Ben and Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, that envy and jealousy have been alleviated a lot. But even so, Cao Ying was still vigilant about Bai Wei's combat effectiveness.

That's right, Liu Bei's white slurs now are indeed not as good as the white scabs when he was in Xuzhou.

After many fights, the elite of Baiwei has lost a lot. Although some were later added in Runan, the combat effectiveness was not as good as before.

It's just that Cao Ying will not have the slightest light enemy, and still holds down the three soldiers and horses of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Tiger Ben Wuwei, waiting for Liu Bei to make a final fight. The three schools were put into it, but the troops were still somewhat insufficient. Liu Bei danced with two swords in his hands, galloped in the army, and his killing method was extremely fierce.

At the same time, he also helped each other, forcing Lu Qian and Shi Lian to fight to the death to resist the two.

Xiahou Shang and the Xiahou En brothers were eager to try in this formation, but without Cao Ying's order, the two of them did not dare to fight without authorization, for fear of affecting the battle situation.

"Ziyu, Boren, you two lead the guards to attack."

"Whoa!"

Seeing that the war was entering a stalemate, Cao Ying couldn't help frowning slightly.

This was not the situation he wanted. Xia Houen and Xia Hou Shang are also newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, and after receiving the order, they immediately led the armed guards into the battlefield. Originally, Yuan Jun had a slight upper hand. But when 1,500 members of the Armed Guard Army joined, things immediately changed. The Wuwei Army is dominated by the Xu clan and has followed Cao Ying to fight for many years, and its bravery is not inferior to the Tiger Army.

Liu Bei seemed to split his head at this time, and his two swords flew over, slashing left and right.

"Tanzhi, stand up to those two with me!"

As he spoke, he suddenly exerted his strength, and his two swords danced more urgently.

Lu Qian and Shi Jian couldn't help Liu Bei all of a sudden, and were even faintly suppressed by Liu Bei.

Guan Ping roared loudly and urged the horse to meet the Xiahou Shang brothers. Chen Zhi, who was watching the battle in the back formation, was even more sinky, and he turned his head to Sun Gan and said, "Gongyou, I will leave 200 people with you, and then lead my troops to participate in the battle." If the situation is not good, you must ensure that the lord withdraws, and I will cut it off. ”

"Good!"

Sun Qian also drew his sword and made a posture of fighting for his life.

Chen Zhi raised his big gun high and shouted: "Bai Wei, attack!" ”

Eight hundred white-eyed people shouted in unison and rushed into the battlefield.

Don't look at the fact that there are only 800 people, but they are the elite of Liu Bei's army. He also followed Liu Bei to fight for thousands of miles, all of them were experienced, and their killing methods were extremely brave.

After Bai Wei rushed into the battlefield, the form changed again.

Cao Ying watched the battle in this formation, and when he saw Bai Wei attacking, a cruel smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Tiger Ben, attack."

He drew his sword and urged his horse to rush out.

You must know that Cao Ying is also a good fighter.

In his early years, he was a cavalry captain, and he was a pioneer in fighting with the Yellow Turban Army, and in terms of bravery, he may not be inferior to Liu Bei too much.

After the Tiger Ben Army rushed into the battlefield, it also had a sword and shield in hand, but it had more cooperation than other soldiers and horses. I think that at the beginning, Cao Peng asked Dian Wei to train the tiger to line up, walk, and stand in a military posture, which was actually a kind of training for the tiger army. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, the Tiger Ben Army is especially superior to the Wuwei Army. The elites selected from the tens of thousands of Cao troops, and after formal training, cooperate very tacitly.

In a group of three, the Tiger Ben Army will never fight hard with Bai Wei.

Their greatest weapon is to cooperate with each other skillfully. After rushing up, it is often three or five people to surround one person, kill each other in an instant, and then look for the next target. A tiger skeleton shield shattered the spear stabbed by Yuan Jun, and the two men then stepped forward to slash and kill. One by one, one by one, with the cooperation of flowing water, a Yuan Jun fell in a pool of blood. Wen Yudong, who was the leader of the Tiger Ben squad, fiercely wiped the neck of a Yuan Jun with a big knife, and then roared sharply: "Tiger Ben, change formation." ”

The big shield in his left hand was raised, and a big knife flew with a bang.

The body spun around at the same time, and after giving up a gap, a tiger stepped forward and pierced the opponent's chest with a spear.

Immediately, another tiger took on a shield to meet the enemy, and Wen Yudong turned around to make a covering gesture.

The three-person team kept turning, just a microcosm of the Tiger Army. The entire Tiger Ben army was on the move, like a huge meat grinder. As long as he was encircled in their circle formation, Yuan Jun couldn't resist at all, and instantly fell in a pool of blood and turned into a dead corpse.

This terrifying combat power surprised Liu Bei as well.

Cao Ying actually has such a sharp soldier, but he has never seen him use it...... When you are in battle, you are most afraid of distraction. What's more, Liu Bei was already inferior to Lu Qian Shi Lian, and just now with a fierce spirit, it was difficult to suppress the two for a long time. This distraction, Shi Jian and Lu Qian suddenly seized the opportunity, the two fought Liu Bei, and within a few rounds, Liu Bei was accidentally stabbed in the shoulder by Lu Qian, and blood suddenly spurted out.

Liu Bei, who was in pain, screamed and almost fell off the horse.

At this moment, Chen Zhi rushed over with someone and stopped Lu Qianshi.

"The second general, the third general, Hugh has to fight, quickly cover the evacuation of the lord......"

"Uncle go quickly, I will break off with my uncle."

Guan Ping also rushed over and fought side by side with Chen Zhi.

Sun Qian led the people to protect Liu Bei and evacuate backwards, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu did not dare to fight any more, so they each made a false move, and turned their horses and left...... Cao Ying shouted: "Hugh has left Liu Bei!" ”

Dian Wei Xu Chu urged the horse to chase after him, but was stopped by dozens of Bai Wei rushing up.

Yuan Jun's position is completely chaotic!

Fortunately, Bai Wei fought desperately, and there was no rout...... Cao Ying said angrily: "Mingdi, the tiger and leopard ride out." ”

As he spoke, the sword in his hand slashed a person over, and Cao Bin took out a Ming Di from Hu Lu and shot it straight into the air.

At the same time, Xi Xi also ordered the Yue cavalry battalion that pressed the formation to launch a ringing di. A piercing roar converged in the air, almost muffling the shouts of killing on the battlefield. From the rear of Yuan's army, a black torrent surged, and the iron hooves trampled on the earth, causing the earth to tremble.

Liu Bei's face turned pale, and he roared: "It's a tiger and leopard riding, don't fall in love with the battle, retreat quickly!" ”

Behind him, there was a sudden scream.

Liu Bei turned his head to look, only to see Sun Qian jumped up from the side by a tiger ben, threw himself off the war horse at once, and fell heavily to the ground.

He turned around to rescue, but was stopped by Guan Yu.

Guan Yu also lost the calm and relaxed posture of the beautiful bearded man earlier, grabbed Liu Bei's arm and shouted loudly: "Brother, go quickly." ”

Liu Bei gritted his teeth and urged the horse to go...... This bloody battle lasted until nearly late at night.

Yuan's army had already been defeated, and only a few Bai Wei remained, still fighting to the death.

Cao Ying returned to the cover, looking at the battlefield that was reflected in the firelight and turned bloody, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Liu Xuande, know the soldiers!"

"What do you say?"

"I was still wondering why Liu Bei was moving slowly.

Now that he thinks about it, he is cautious and procrastinate until dark...... This night, even if he is defeated, he can escape with the help of night. I ignored this and missed the best opportunity to eliminate Liu Bei, but it's a pity that ......"

"Why should the lord worry, even if Liu Bei runs away, he will almost be wiped out.

Puyang, I am afraid that he has fallen into the hands of Wen Ze at this time, he is alone, even if he returns to Yuan Shao's side, he has no power to return to heaven. ”

"Hongyu, you don't understand!"

Cao Ying took a deep breath and handed the sword to Cao Bin.

"Liu Bei is a very tough person.

If he does not die, I will not be able to let go...... Pass my orders and block Yanzhou for me! If there is a person who kills Liu Bei, he will be sealed as a marquis of ten thousand households and rewarded with a thousand gold; If you get his whereabouts, he will be sealed with 5,000 households and rewarded with 100 gold! In short, I must find Liu Bei and completely destroy him for me. ”

Xi was taken aback, but he didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly responded.

"Lord, Liu Bei has fallen to such an appearance, will he return to Hebei?"

Cao Ying shook his head lightly, "With Liu Bei's surname, I will definitely not return to Hebei." He lost his troops and lost his generals, and if he lost Puyang, he would be suddenly humiliated when he returned to Hebei. With what I know about him, he'll find another way...... It's just for a while, and it's hard to judge where he's going. ”

Cao Bin, silent!

At the same time, the battle on the battlefield of Zhao Ying has also ended.

Almost all of the 800 Bai Yi troops were wiped out, and not even one of them surrendered.

Xiahou Shang took a small school and pressed Sun Qian over, "Lord, it's still the big-eared thief." ”

"It's not your fault, it's my lack of consideration."

Cao Ying was no stranger to Sun Qian, and after only glancing at him, he sighed softly, "Take Gongyou back first and take care of it." ”

Then, Cao Ying ordered, Dian Wei and Xu Chu gathered their soldiers and horses.

Leaving Xi to clean up the battlefield, the whole army quickly returned to the army, ready to return to Baima.

Presumably, the white horse is already fighting...... In any case, Cao Ying was always not very worried about the war on the White Horse's side. Even with Jia Xu by Cao Peng's side, he was still worried.

The soldiers and horses quickly gathered together and rushed in the direction of the white horse at night.

From Zhaoying to Baima, less than forty miles.

But before he could get out of the way, Cao Ying suddenly heard Cao Bin shouting: "Look, my lord, the sky over there seems to be burned!" ”

Cao Ying heard this, and hurriedly looked in the direction of Cao Bin's finger.

I saw that the night in the distance, which should have been pitch black, became fiery red at this time, as if it was on fire.

He shivered, and hurriedly urged his horse to rush up a hill and put his hand on the pergola to watch. The light of the fire seemed to come from the direction of the white horse.

You must know that Cao Ying's location at this time is still nearly twenty miles away from Baima.

Twenty miles away, you can see the fire of the white horse, what a terrible fire thing...... "It's the white horse!" ”

Dian Wei cried out in horror.

Sure enough, something happened, sure enough!

Such a big fire shows that the battle of the White Horse must be extremely tragic. Ah Fu must not be able to resist, so he will use such a way to burn the city.

"Dian Wei, Xu Chu!"

"The end will be."

"The two of you immediately lead your headquarters and rush to Baima."

"Whoa!"

Xu Chu and Dian Wei's mood at the moment will never be easier than Cao Ying's. Because in Baima County, there are also his two baby sons.

After receiving the order, the two urged the horses to rush down the hill and shouted: "Hu Ben (Wu Wei), follow me to help the white horse." ”

At the foot of the hill, Cao Zhen rushed up, rolled the saddle in front of Cao Ying, and fell off the horse.

"Lord, the child is willing to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to save my four brothers."

"Zidan, don't be in a hurry......"

Cao Ying was halfway through his words, and he didn't know how to say it.

He gritted his teeth, "Zihe, you immediately lead the tiger and leopard to ride and go together." ”

Cao Chun agreed, led Cao Zhen to get on the horse and rushed down the hill, the tiger and leopard rode in the night, rumbling out, and rushed in the direction of the white horse.

Ah Fu, hold on!

Cao Ying couldn't help but secretly shout in his heart, the joy of the previous victory was gone at this time.

———————————————————————————————— the sunset has set, and the county town of Baima is deserted, and there is no one in sight.

The city gate is open, and you can see the streets of the city clearly. Except for the Jingguan at the gate of the city, which is stacked with corpses, the entire white horse is like a ghost town. Standing outside the city gate, a light wind hit, like a gust of cloudy wind, which made people's scalp tingle.

Yan Liang opened his mouth wide, looking at the city in front of him, and he was also a little stunned.

"Empty city?"

He bowed his head to the scout kneeling in front of the horse and said, "You said the white horse, is it an empty city now?" ”

"Exactly."

To be honest, the scout came out of the city and felt his scalp tingle. The whole city was so deserted, too silent, and so creepy that it was quiet. Especially this scout also knew that Yan Liang had slaughtered the city in the White Horse, and he was even more frightened in his heart.

Fortunately, after walking around, I didn't see anyone.

There wasn't even a sound, except for the sound of the hooves of the war horse under his crotch...... "General, the east gate of the white horse was blocked by people with earth and stones, it seems that Cao Jun originally wanted to fight the general to the death here...... Inside the West City Gate, a large amount of earth and stones were found, as well as the baggage that had been hoarded here, and it seemed that they were preparing to seal the West Gate together. ”

Yan Liang was a little confused.

"Then why can't you even see Cao Jun's shadow now?"

You ask me, and who do I ask? The scout couldn't help but smile bitterly, but on his face, he still had to maintain a solemn expression, "Returning to the general, from a humble point of view, it must have been Cao Jun who learned that the general was leading his troops to attack, and he was frightened, so he fled in a hurry. ”

"Really?"

"The general is the pillar of the four courts in Hebei, who in the world doesn't know?

Previously, he took the white horse lightly, defeated Xu Huang, and made great achievements. In Yanjin, the general defeated Xiahou Yuan again, how could Cao Jun not know? Judging from his humble duties, the Cao army guard originally wanted to defend to the death. But I heard that the general was coming, so I didn't dare to fight, and fled from the white horse in a hurry. ”

Well, that sounds reasonable.

Yan Liang turned his head and asked, "What does Wei Huang think?" ”

This Wei Huang is a military general about 30 years old, his real surname is Lu, his name is Pei, and his name is Wei Huang.

Hearing Yan Liang's inquiry, Lu Weihuang laughed, "Why should the general worry, now that the white horse is in front of him, I just have to go in." If the Cao army dares to use tricks and the courage of a general, is it still not captured? In my opinion, Cao Jun has no courage, this is an empty city. ”

Yan Liang also laughed, "In that case, I'll wait to enter the city!" ”
