Cao's army was defeated like a mountain, and the remnants of the defeated army would flee south. Ma Chao led 100,000 blue wolf army cavalry to chase the north, and Zhang Lang led the army into the Tiger Prison Pass. Accompanied by Dong Ying's four pro-army generals, Jia Xu and other generals, Zhang Lang came to the lobby of Tiger Prison Pass, Dong Ying, Wang Yi, Wang Kai, and Yang Kun stood behind Zhang Lang, and everyone in the hall clasped their fists and saluted: "General!" ”

Zhang Lang raised his voice and said, "You don't have to be polite. ”

"General Xie!" Everyone straightened up and stood on the left and right sides according to their ranks.

Two sturdy Tiger Guards escorted a large-blooded enemy general into the hall, and both kicked on the crook of the enemy general's leg, and the enemy general knelt down with a muffled snort. The two Tiger Guards let go of him and stood behind him with their swords.

Zhang Lang glanced at the enemy general and felt a little familiar. Suddenly it sounded and asked, "Aren't you Wei Yan?" ”

Wei Yan smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect the general to remember the last general!" He glanced up at Zhang Lang, "At the end of the day, the general was defeated and captured, I just ask the general to give me a good time!" ”

Zhang Lang asked with a smile: "General Wei Yan has superb martial arts and is familiar with the art of war, is he willing to die like this?" Wei Changchang sighed, "What can you do if you are unwilling?" Time is also fate! ”

Zhang Lang stood up, walked up to Wei Yan, helped him up, and then drew his sword to cut the rope on his body. Wei Yan was surprised in his heart, and asked with his fists clenched, "The general won't kill me?" ”

Zhang Lang smiled and asked, "Is General Wei Yan unwilling to serve me?" ”

When Wei Yan heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and hugged his fists and said, "The last general is willing to serve the general!" Zhang Lang patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Is Cao Cao really dead?" Wei Yan hugged his fists and said: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng is indeed dead!" ”

Zhang Lang felt a little melancholy, thinking that when he saw Cao Cao not long ago, he was majestic and heroic, talking about the world, what a hero, but he didn't expect that he had passed away now! The world is unpredictable! Although it is said that people will win the sky, but in fact, no matter how strong a person is, he is just a plaything in the palm of God. Although I understand this, it is still impossible for people to give up the struggle and give up the effort, which is probably called knowing that it is impossible to do it! Those so-called masters who have seen through the red dust are not so much seeing through them, but giving up!

Zhang Lang came back to his senses and asked Wei Yan: "Has Cao Pi succeeded to the throne?" ”

Wei Yan hugged his fists and said: "Although he has not officially succeeded to the throne, now all the big and small affairs are in his hands, and the civil ministers and generals have also respected him as the lord!" ”

Zhang Lang nodded and asked, "Who planned your raid on Luoyang this time?" Is it Guo Jia? ”

"Guo Jia has left Xuchang. The operation was planned by Sima Yi. He said: When the lord dies, Lu Bu will not be on guard, and he should take the opportunity to seize Luoyang and Nanyang! Wei Yan sighed, clenched his fists in admiration and said, "But I didn't expect that the general would have been able to see the fire for a long time, and he knew everything about it!" ”

Zhang Lang smiled. returned to the top and sat down, and said to Wei Yan: "Standing on Cao Cao's side is the position of a partial general, and I will now also make you a partial general." If you make meritorious service, you will be rewarded according to your merit. Wei Yan was overjoyed, and hurriedly clenched his fists to thank him, and then retreated to the position of the end on the right side.

Zhang Lang said to Jia Xu and Gao Shun: "Wenhe, Gao Shun, you two commanders of the Luoyang Legion continue to guard the Tiger Prison Pass, and at the same time guard the prisoners. The two of them clasped their fists and promised.

Zhang Lang glanced at the other generals and raised his voice: "The rest of you will go south with me to exterminate Cao Hong!" The generals clenched their fists and promised.

……

Just as Cao Ren was attacking Luoyang, Cao Hong led a large army across the river and launched a fierce attack on Nanyang. However, the defenders of Nanyang had already been prepared, and the Leopard Tao army relied on the strong city defense of Nanyang to resist the ferocious impact of Cao Hong's 300,000 army, just when the war was stalemate, Wu Yi led the Pingnan army to suddenly kill from the north, Cao Hong's army was caught off guard, and was almost broken through the defense line, Cao Hong hurriedly ordered to stop the attack, and concentrated his forces to hold on to the Pingnan army.

Immediately, the city gate was opened, and the general Xu Huang led the Leopard Tao army to attack Cao Hong's army, and at the same time, Wu Yi led the Pingnan army to attack again from the north. An army of 500,000 fought in the wasteland, and the battle was in full swing, and it was difficult to solve.

At this time, the scout suddenly came to report that the Xuanyuan Mountain Dazhai had been captured by Lu Bu's army.

Cao Hong was shocked, but he did not dare to retreat rashly, and at the same time ordered the news to be strictly sealed, and if anyone dared to talk nonsense, he would be immediately sentenced for disturbing the morale of the army.

Cao Hong commanded an army of 300,000 and fought fiercely with the 200,000 horses of the Pingnan Army and the Leopard Tao Army until the afternoon.

Xu Huang and Wu Yi saw that Cao's army was becoming more and more courageous, so they decisively stopped the attack, and the army retreated into the city.

Cao Hong saw that Lu Bu's army had retreated, and he did not pursue it, so he immediately ordered the light cavalry to break off, and the infantry brigade immediately retreated. The army retreated all the way east to the edge of the river and began to cross the river.

A few hours passed, and the general soldiers and horses crossed the water. Suddenly, a trumpet sounded on the hill in front of the east bank. Cao Jun was taken aback, looked up, and saw that Lu Bujun's war cavalry was rushing all over the mountains, and the battle flag flying fiercely on his head was embroidered with the big characters of 'Hussar' and two dragons flying and phoenixes dancing! Cao Hong's pupils shrank, and he exclaimed, "Hussar Legion!" ”

Cao Hong immediately ordered: "All soldiers and horses obey the order and immediately form a formation on the spot!" Those who dare to run around will be killed! Cao Hong's words were like a needle in the sea, and he immediately stabilized the hearts of the army. Cao's army immediately formed a formation on the spot, with shieldmen and pikemen in front, crossbowmen in the back, and cavalry in the center, forming a huge half-moon-shaped battle formation with their backs to the river. The same is true of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the West Bank.

Huang Zhong frowned when he saw that Cao Jun had formed a battle formation so quickly. Raising the broadsword in his hand, the 100,000 hussars immediately formed a three-way charging formation and rushed towards the enemy.

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry tide was only a stone's throw away from the enemy formation!

"Shoot the arrows!" Cao Hong roared, and more than 10,000 Cao army crossbowmen immediately sent out a wave of arrow rain, dense arrow rain covering the sky and the sun, falling into the middle of the hussars, only to see people on their backs and horses, as if they threw a handful of stones into the waves, stirring up countless ripples.

The hussars raised their cavalry bows and struck back, and the rain of arrows whistled away, crackling many arrows on the shields, and some of the arrows flew over the shield wall into the middle of Cao's army, knocking down many people.

The cavalry rushed to the front of Cao's army and slammed into it, rumbling and rumbling, like a storm crashing on the shore, and the shield line was hit in many dents! However, the impact of the hussars was limited after all, and they failed to break through the Cao army's defense line in one go. When the speed of the hussars slowed down, the pikemen behind the shield hand struggled to poke the hussars forward, and for a moment they saw people on their backs!
