The horn sounded, and the 50,000 Huang Zhong troops waiting in the south were already eager to try, and the sound of the horn was so long that the sound of the horn came, which was the signal to attack

"Kill!" The 50,000-strong army was like a raging wave, killing the Cao army in the fierce battle.

Cao Ren was fighting fiercely, although Cao Ren also knew that there was still a Han army in the south, but in the melee he could no longer care about it, he shouted loudly, commanding Cao Jun to fight, his voice had become hoarse.

At this moment, a personal soldier beside Cao Ren shouted in shock: "Look, big handsome!" ”

He pointed to the northeast, his face was full of horror, Cao Ren looked at his fingers, his heart suddenly sank, like falling into the abyss, only to see an army from the northeast to kill, about 30,000 people, waving the flag, the momentum was terrifying, and the swift killing to the back of the Cao army, headed by the general under the crotch of the Molong Baoju, holding a gold-backed mountain sword, wearing a silver helmet, and his beard was white, it was Huang Zhong, the general of Zhennan.

Cao Ren reined in the war horse, and was so shocked that he took a few steps back, the Han army came from the south, he felt the pressure like a mountain, he tried his best to stabilize his mind, waved his long sword, and shouted: "Let the tiger and leopard ride to meet the battle!" ”

The tiger and leopard cavalry is commanded by the general Wu Jian, Wu Jian is a native of Beihai County, brave and powerful, and his arms have the strength of a thousand catties, this time Cao Xiu led 10,000 tigers and leopards to the south to aid Xuzhou, 5,000 cavalry led by Cao Xiu, stationed in Xuzhou, and the other 5,000 people were commanded by Cao Xiu's henchman Wu Jian, and followed Cao Ren to rescue Qiao County.

The tiger and leopard ride was the killer weapon of Cao Jun, and he only mobilized at a critical moment, and at this time, the shape was critical, and Cao Ren could only put the tiger and leopard horse into the battlefield.

Hearing Cao Ren's order, Wu Jian immediately raised his horn and blew it, and dozens of horn players blew it together, 'Woo-' Wu Jian waved his horse lance and led five thousand tiger and leopard iron cavalry to rush away against the opponent's cavalry.

The cavalry was selected from hundreds of thousands of Cao troops, all of whom were outstanding in martial arts and well-equipped, becoming the most elite cavalry of the Cao army and rarely participating in battles.

The five thousand tiger and leopard iron horsemen galloped at a high speed, like a powerful iron stream, and instantly rushed to the front of the eight thousand trapped troops led by Zhang Fei, "Boom! With an earth-shattering bang, the powerful impact of the Tiger and Par Iron Rider knocked hundreds of soldiers to the ground.

Zhang Fei has been silent in Jiaozhou for many years, and his heart is murderous and depressed, this time he was assigned to Huang Zhong's deputy general, and he has been eyeing him like a wolf for a long time, waiting for the opportunity to fight with the Cao army, and today's big battle between the Han army and the Cao army made him finally wait for the battle that he had been waiting for a long time.

The 50,000 Jingzhou troops surrounded the tiger and leopard cavalry from all directions, Zhang Fei took the lead, leading the 8,000 trapped troops to be extremely brave, and in an instant, hundreds of tiger and leopard cavalry were chopped and stabbed.

Although the tiger and leopard iron cavalry was extremely powerful, in front of the Jingzhou army, which was ten times their size, they still suffered heavy losses.

Wu Jian couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, he roared, rushed forward on the horse, brandished the horse lance and stabbed dozens of people in a row, and the rest of the hundreds of Jingzhou soldiers were so frightened that they turned around and fled, Wu Jian saw the enemy wolf bèi, laughed, he laughed, Zhang Fei killed from the oblique stab, the sound was like a tiger's roar, the spear spear was picked, the spear tip was as fast as lightning, Wu Jian was picked under the horse, and the spear resulted in his life.

The Lord will be killed, and the tiger and leopard cavalry will begin to fail, and gradually there will be a sign of defeat.

At the same time, there was also a crisis on the right flank of the Cao army, and the two thousand cavalry guards on the left side of the spearman array were assassinated by the Han spearmen, revealing the left side of the spearman array, which was the weakness of the spearman array. ”

The 5,000 Han cavalry rushed up, the impact was like a storm, and instantly rushed away from the spearmen's formation, which had been killed and wounded, and the spearmen who had been hit by the Han army finally couldn't hold on, and the formation was in chaos, showing signs of collapse.

At this time, the trumpet sounded again in the distance, the drums of the Han army were like thunder, Liu Jing gave the order for the final attack, he personally led the 30,000 most elite Han army, shouting and killing shook the sky, like a strong wind blowing under the dark clouds, swept towards Cao Ren's Chinese army.

And Huang Zhong's 50,000 Jingzhou army also defeated the tiger and leopard cavalry, the cavalry was defeated, and the 50,000 army came from behind.

Cao Jun was attacked by the enemy on his belly and back, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately urged his horse to rush forward and shouted to Cao Ren: "Governor, we must withdraw quickly now, otherwise, our army will be completely annihilated!" ”

Cao Ren's face turned pale, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and shouted: "Withdraw the army immediately, withdraw to Yuxian!" ”

He galloped on horseback, and a thousand guards surrounded him and rushed to Yuxian more than 40 miles away, with Liu Jing personally leading the elite Han army to kill, the morale of the Cao army suffered a heavy setback, and the spear array collapsed first, and then the left wing Cao army also quickly retreated eastward under the leadership of Han Zheng, and the Cao army was defeated like a mountain.

"Kill!"

The shouts of the Han army shook the sky, the morale was greatly boosted, and the enemy army chased and killed, and the defeated soldiers of the black pressure fled bravely and desperately, they trampled on each other, suffocated, trampled to death.

There is a river ten miles away in the east, the river is about seven or eight zhang wide, there was originally a wooden bridge, but the Han cavalry has demolished the bridge, and the defeated soldiers have nowhere to escape, and they have jumped into the river and swam in the water.

Most of the Cao army did not know the nature of the water, countless people drowned in the river, the corpses blocked the river, the limbs pillowed, the corpses piled up like a mountain, and formed a bridge of flesh and blood, and the defeated soldiers behind stepped on the corpses of their companions and fled to the opposite bank, only to hear moans, screams, and cries, all of which were like madness, terror, and chaos.

The rumor that the Han army had killed the Xuchang prisoners of war made these poor soldiers dare not surrender, so they ran desperately, and the land east of Qiaoxian was full of scattered and fleeing Cao troops.

But they couldn't escape far, and they were chased and surrounded by the Han cavalry led by Pang De and Xu Sheng, and the rebels were all killed, and in the end, tens of thousands of desperate Cao troops had to kneel and kowtow and beg for mercy.....

When Cao Ren led thousands of remnants of the army to run to Yuxian, but unexpectedly met the general Gao Lan who fled from the county and more than 1,000 defeated soldiers, Gao Lan led 3,000 troops to garrison Yuxian under Cao Ren's order, but he was also defeated by the Han army, which made Cao Ren quite frightened, and he immediately ordered someone to find Gao Lan for questioning.

"What happened, and what is the situation in Yuxian County now?" Without waiting for Gao Ling to speak, Cao Ren asked.

Gao Luan's face was full of shame, and he knelt down on one knee and said: "Governor Qiyu, Lu Meng led 30,000 Han troops to attack the county seat, and he can't hold his humble position, please punish the governor!" ”

Cao Ren sighed for a long time, "I should have thought about it, but I didn't take it to heart, it's my fault, get up!" ”

Gao Lan got up and asked in a low voice, "Governor, where are we going?" ”

Cao Ren pondered for a moment, then ordered someone to find all the generals who followed him, and said to Li Tong and the generals: "The intention of the Han army is not to allow me to return to Xuzhou, but I want to return to Xuzhou for defense no matter what, this is our only chance to keep the Central Plains, in order to avoid the Han army, I decided to lead my own soldiers back to Xuzhou first, you can gather the defeated soldiers here, continue to fight my banner, and then you find a way to return to Xuzhou." ”

Cao Ren's meaning is obvious, he wants to avoid the pursuit of the Han army, and only leads a small number of personal guards to leave quietly, while the other Cao troops use it to confuse the Han army, although this is a bit of abandoning everyone, but he is also helpless.

Li Tong understood Cao Ren's good intentions, not to leave everyone behind, he nodded and said: "Please rest assured, the Governor will gather the remnants of the army, and he will definitely find a way to return to Xuzhou, but the Governor himself must be careful." ”

Cao Ren was quite relieved in his heart, and he said to everyone: "Everyone obeys General Li's orders, and those who dare to disobey the order will be killed!" ”

Everyone bowed down together and agreed, Cao Ren no longer delayed time, he immediately led more than 100 personal guards, turned the horse's head and galloped towards the north, and gradually disappeared.

At this time, the shouting of killing in the distance shook the sky, and the cavalry of the Han army had already chased this side, and there was no time to collect the remnants of the army for them, Li Tong had no choice but to lead thousands of remnants of the defeated army to the south to lead away the pursuit route of the Han army

The Pengcheng that Cao Ren wants to return to is located in the northeast of Yu County, and he can go straight around Yu County, or he can go to Liang County first, and then go east from Liang County to Pengcheng.

Although he knew in advance that his chances of victory were small, after he was really defeated by the Han army, he also felt great pressure, and he knew very well the consequences of the defeat of Qiaoxian, and it was very likely that he would lose the entire Central Plains.

At this time, Cao Ren had only one idea, to do his best to hold Pengcheng, use Pengcheng to contain the Han army's attempt to occupy the Central Plains, and buy Cao Pi as much time as possible.

Cao Ren led a hundred guards all the way north, and that night, the group entered Liang County, Cao Ren was a little relieved, he saw that his men were exhausted, and the war horses were almost unable to support it, so he said to everyone: "Rest for two hours and then hurry." ”

The soldiers dismounted, buried the pot to cook, and divided to find a water source, Cao Ren also found a big stone to sit down, and he turned back and shouted: "You are not allowed to light a fire, you can only eat dry food!" ”

Although he had entered Liang County, he still did not dare to be careless, he knew very well that the Han army scouts were powerful, and unless they entered Pengcheng, they would be discovered by the Han army at any time.

Cao Ren took out a map and looked at it in the moonlight for a moment, they should be in Dangxian County now, and he looked up again, there were hills and plains, large forests were distributed, and there was a small river not far away.

Cao Ren felt that he had been here, and if he remembered correctly, the county seat should be about ten miles to the north, but it was blocked by a low hill that was more than ten miles long.

At this moment, a personal soldier rushed to the scene and nervously reported: "Governor, the patrol brother has found several Han cavalry on the official road to the north.

"What!"

Cao Ren stood up and actually found the Han cavalry, he suddenly realized in his heart that something was wrong, regardless of whether the Han cavalry found them or not, but the appearance of the Han cavalry in Liang County was an unusual signal in itself, Cao Ren suddenly realized that the danger was coming, and he immediately shouted: "Get on the horse immediately and get out of here quickly!" ”
