With the roar of the ram, the defense of Caoyang City collapsed, the soldiers of the coalition army were terrified, and the huge city wall was knocked down, which made everyone unbelievable, as the panic spread, the will of the coalition army to resist gradually disappeared, Xu Rong's troops took advantage of the situation to kill, and Su Jiande followed up again.

On the other hand, Xu Huang also achieved decisive results, the right flank was broken by the city car again, the two walls of Caoyang City collapsed, the coalition army collapsed, the front became a meaningless stronghold, the Kwantung princes began to flee one after another, the rear gate was immediately blocked, and a large number of soldiers were piled up in front of the city.

"Get out of the way!" Suddenly, a large group of cavalry rushed towards the blockage of the city gate, but found that it could not be rushed through at all, and the city gate had already been crowded to the brim.

"Run for your life!" The soldiers shouted and squeezed towards the city gates, and the scene became even more chaotic.

The sound of killing kept coming from the rear, Yuan Shu was anxious, if he continued like this, I am afraid that he would not be able to rush out in half an hour, half an hour is enough to run dozens of miles, looking at the crowded road in front of him, Yuan Shu was ruthless.

"Cut it for me, if anyone doesn't get out of the way, cut it for me!" Yuan Shu gave a crazy order.

The soldiers who opened the way in front of him were shocked, but they didn't make a move, Yuan Shu roared again: "What are you looking at, didn't you hear what I said, I asked you to cut down this group of people who are blocking the road, do you understand?" ”

"No!" The soldiers of the former army immediately came to their senses, and the merciless knife swung down fiercely, and for a time the city gate was bleeding all over the ground, and it was ridiculous that they did not die at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of their own people.

"Rush!" Yuan Shu brandished a sword and took the opportunity to kill out of the city, Liu Dai saw this, followed Yuan Shu and killed out of the city, in order to escape for their lives, these two people can be described as extremely ruthless, stepping on the corpses of their own people, and killing them hard.

Of course, this is just a microcosm, the princes along the way are not ruthless, killing a few people is nothing, human life is just a number in their eyes, if they die, they will die, it is not a big deal at all, but when they are going to die, they may realize the heaviness of life.

The battle situation is getting more and more favorable, and Xiahou Lan said excitedly: "General, Caoyang City has been broken on both sides, and we are about to win!" ”

Although the battle situation was favorable, Meng Ge did not feel careless at all, and hurriedly said: "Not yet, not until the last moment, until the last enemy lays down his arms, we will not win, give the order to go down, surround me, don't let go of an enemy, in addition, send an order to Zhang Liao, let him pay attention at any time, to prevent the enemy from counterattacking!" ”

Xiahou Lan was stunned, and arched her hand: "Counterattack, general, can the two armies still fight back, it's better for Chen Cheng to pursue!" ”

Meng Ge said resolutely: "No, let's deal with this side first, don't worry about those who escape, and besides, the military advisor is not a vegetarian, presumably he has been waiting for them for a long time, and deal with the enemy in the city first!" ”

"Yes!" Xiahou Lan suddenly realized, he finally understood Meng Ge's intention, first deal with a part of the enemy army, and hand over the fleeing enemy to the military division, or Chen Ji, as long as they arrived, the coalition army would not be able to escape.

Meng Ge's military orders were quickly conveyed in place, and the whole army immediately launched an all-out effort, and as the army entered the city, it launched a siege and slaughter of the enemy in Caoyang City.

Xu Huang kept walking through the streets, and when he saw a group of enemies rushing into a house, he hurriedly shouted: "Follow me, there are still a handful of enemies here!" ”

Before he could break into the house, Xu Huang immediately led people to kill, and the frightened coalition soldiers were surrounded in an instant.

Seeing that the coalition forces were surrounded to death, Xu Huang immediately shouted: "Put down your arms and surrender, otherwise you will be killed!" ”

The coalition soldiers hurriedly threw away their weapons and shouted with horror on their faces: "Surrender, we surrender!" Have mercy on us and do not kill us. ”

Without waiting for Xu Huang to shout again, the soldiers behind him shouted one after another: "What so much nonsense, throw away the weapon for me, otherwise we will do it!" ”

The soldiers shouted and shook the knives in their hands, the bright sword light kept flashing, and the coalition soldiers suddenly felt a sudden burst in their hearts, and they didn't dare to say anything anymore, and left the weapons far away.

However, Xu Huang had time to control them, and after driving the people out, Xu Huang immediately left the house again, and killed elsewhere again, there were still many soldiers waiting for him to arrest, and now there was no effort to control the civilians, and countless coalition soldiers who wanted to escape were driven out and gathered in one place.

After a while, there were many more soldiers on the streets, and they were taken to one place, and as a large number of prisoners gathered, the pressure on the guards also increased, and the coalition camp was temporarily used as a prisoner camp, and the prisoners were gathered in the enemy camp, and the Kwantung princes basically ran away without a trace.

More than 10,000 cavalry of the coalition army fled out of the city, Zhang Liao and Pang Lianhu did not pursue, according to Menggo's military order, they wanted to guard against the counterattack of the coalition army, but the coalition army did not seem to have this mind at all, seeing that Zhang Liao and others did not pursue, they quickly ran away.

After nearly an hour, the messenger came to report: "Report to the general, the city has been temporarily cleared, please give the general an order!" ”

"Okay!" Meng Ge was very excited, and immediately ordered: "Order, immediately separate the enemy generals and soldiers, don't let them have bad ideas, catch their heads first!" ”

The messenger immediately arched his hand and said, "Yes! But General, there is a big tent, and there is a person in it, and he says that he wants to see you, and says that he is your old acquaintance! ”

Old knowledge! Meng Ge frowned suddenly, his old acquaintances were nothing more than a few, could it be Xun Yu or Xi Zhicai, if it was the two of them, then they had to see each other.

Thinking of this, Mungo immediately said, "Go, take me there!" ”

"No!" The messenger hurried with Mungo; In the big tent in the distance, Xi Zhicai was also waiting quietly, he really wanted to see the old man in the past, the little scholar in the past, now he has become such a character, defeated in the hands of the old man, Xi Zhicai always wants to meet this person.

The battle on Mongo's side was initially successful, but the battle on the other side had just begun, and the coalition forces had escaped from Caoyang, but what they would have to face was not a way out, but a lot of traps, and heavy snow blocked the way, causing Guo Jia's journey to slow down and unable to arrive within the specified time.

According to the original plan, Guo Jia and Chen Ji had to go one after the other, Chen Ji crossed the river from the rear of Hangu Pass and crossed Hangu Pass to support Meng Ge, while Guo Jia copied the other party's rear road and launched an attack from the rear.

In order to save time, Guo Jia chose a shortcut, and had already set up a defensive line in the rear of the enemy, blocking the way of the coalition army, and Chen Ji was also struggling to rush to the front line, and finally crossed the Yellow River.

In the wind and snow, Guo Jia stood quietly, and the soldiers below were building fortifications to block the way of the coalition forces, he didn't know if the road could be blocked, but he could only do his best.

At this moment, Lian Chengbi ran over panting, and said with a worried face: "Military Division, it's too late, the enemy has arrived!" Most of the enemy's cavalry is coming! ”

Is it so fast! Guo Jia was slightly stunned, and soon he understood, if according to the original plan, these people would not be able to escape, without the existence of a large army, they could only attack from three sides, so this is why this is the case, Meng Ge must have deliberately let these people go.

Guo Jia suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Lord, you really look up to me, although you guessed it, but you can't throw me a big burden!" ”

Lian Chengbi was confused, and said incomprehensibly: "What, military advisor, what burden?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said lightly: "It's nothing, the order, the cavalry battalion will attack immediately and destroy the enemy cavalry!" ”

"Yes!" Lian Chengbi happily took the order, and the enemy brigade of cavalry fled, this is a great opportunity, if this array can destroy the coalition army, then the battle is completely over.

Originally, to Caoyang, you need to bypass a big circle, because of the heavy snow blocking the road, Guo Jia had to retreat, choose to go directly, block the retreat road of the coalition army, this is also no way, if Meng Ge did not attack according to the plan, it is not a big deal, as long as the way is blocked, and then from the rear sneak attack, the coalition army is still a dead end.

Now that Mongo has launched an attack according to the plan, blocking the retreat of the coalition army, the coalition army is also facing a desperate situation, Guo Jia does not believe that the coalition army can pass this hurdle, and only two cavalry battalions are enough for them.

Lian Chengbi excitedly found Ma Chao, and couldn't wait to say: "Meng Qi, our opportunity has come, the military advisor let us attack!" ”

When he first heard the news, Ma Chao suddenly showed a little joy, and said with a eager face: "I understand, this time they must have no return!" ”

The snow was falling, and the Kwantung princes fled for their lives in a hurry, and they couldn't do anything along the way, but there was a sudden change ahead.

Outside Caoyang City, Chen Jizheng had a bitter face, it was only a day and a half late, Meng Ge ended the battle, he didn't even drink the soup, it was equivalent to running in vain, these few days of crying are in vain, he is not depressed to call it a strange thing.

But Meng Ge didn't have time to talk nonsense, his task had already been arranged, there were so many prisoners, there had to be someone watching, since Chen Ji was here, there was no reason to be idle, Meng Ge sent him to guard, so that the cavalry battalion could also attack.

The coalition army had just fled, and Meng Ge expected that Guo Jia would go to intercept him, and it was still too late to catch up at this time, maybe he could drink a sip of soup, if Guo Jia was ruthless enough, it would be better, and Meng Ge would be able to sit back and relax, but now Meng Ge was about to meet his old man.

There are only a few old people in the past, and there are only two people who can be in the coalition camp, but he really wants to know whether it is Xun Yu or Xi Zhicai, these two people must see each other.

Outside the big tent, the messenger said respectfully: "This is it, general!" ”

"Okay, go down, it's none of your business!" Mungo waved his hand casually, motioning for him to go down, and the messenger retreated, as a figure sat upright in the tent as a little light emanated from the tent.

The person who went first was naturally Xia Houlan, and it was natural for the soldiers to open the way, Meng Ge followed, when he saw this old acquaintance, he felt a little weird, he recognized it at a glance, this person was Xi Zhicai, as before, Xi Zhicai was still emaciated, as if a gust of wind could blow it down.

Slowly coming to Xi Zhicai's side, Meng Ge greeted with a smile: "Long time no see, Mr. Xi!" ”

Xi Zhicai is very calm, although he was defeated in the hands of the other party, although he is a little depressed, but it is useless to say anything now.

Xi Zhicai stood up and signaled: "Sit down, rebel general, we haven't seen each other for a long time, but I can't recognize you today, sir, congratulations, after this battle, you are the overlord of the Central Plains!" ”

Chessboard! Meng Ge smiled, to be honest, he is not good at Go, let him play chess ten times is the best chance of losing, but it seems that this old man wants to play the next game, to be honest, Meng Ge really doesn't want to be embarrassed.

Touching his nose, Meng Ge said embarrassedly: "Mr. Xi, I'm really embarrassed, I'm really not proficient in this thing, I don't have time to play chess today, I still have to chase your master!" ”

"Not proficient!" Xi Zhicai was stunned, and then smiled and said, "My father-in-law, do you know who my father-in-law is?" ”

"Cao Mengde!" Meng Ge spit out three words casually, although there was no accurate information, but Meng Ge knew that among the Kwantung coalition forces, I am afraid that only Cao someone could convince this gentleman.

The corners of Xi Zhicai's mouth twitched suddenly, he smashed Cao Ying's mansion was just a staff, the world was so big, he was just an insignificant character, but Meng Ge knew, how could he not be surprised!

Meng Ge didn't know that Xi Zhicai had misunderstood, and then said: "Okay, Mr. Xi, you can stay alive, I think the military advisor will be happy to see you, and when I'm done, let's talk about the old days!" ”

"No, it's enough to see you, I should go too!" Xi Zhicai slowly picked up the sword, but at this moment, a ghostly figure flashed.

But it was Mungo who made a move, and when he saw the sword, Mungo knew what he had to do, and for a man who already had a will to die, Mungo didn't want to watch him go.

"Smack!" Meng Ge hit the sword in the hand of Fei Xi Zhicai, Xi Zhicai only felt a flash in front of him, and Meng Ge couldn't see how he made a move, but the next moment he was already subdued.

Meng Ge locked Xi Zhicai's hands and said lightly: "Mr. Xi, live well, death can't solve anything at all?" Even if you die, I won't show mercy, Cao Mengde is Cao Mengde, if he wants to seize the world, then he must die! So you're still alive! ”

Ignoring Meng Ge's words, Xi Zhicai yelled angrily: "Why don't you let me die? Why? As a loser, death is nothing but relief! Why don't you fulfill me? ”

"You better get some rest!" Mongo gave him a knife in his hand, and now he had to do that.

Let him rest for a while, maybe he can dispel the will to die, if it really can't work, he can only give up, if a person wants to die, no one can do anything.

was knocked unconscious by Meng Ge's hand knife, Xi Zhicai suddenly lost his voice, Meng Ge casually threw the person to Xia Houlan, and said with a wry smile: "Take care of him, don't let him die, he wants to die, knock him out!" ”

"This!" Xia Houlan wanted to say no, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, and Meng Ge's unspeakable eyes told him that this matter was not negotiable.
