Xiahoudun slashed down with a knife, and the general of the Xiliang army hurriedly raised his big knife to block. The big blade slashed at the hilt, and with the sound of a "click" of the wooden stick breaking, the handle of the knife in the hand of the general of the Xiliang Army was split in two in an instant.

The sharp broadsword slashed the hilt of General Xiliang's sword, and slashed down in front of him with a silver arc.

Holding the half-truncated hilt of the knife in each hand, the general of the Xiliang Army, who was cut by a knife, stared at Xiahoudun who had just put away the knife with a stunned face, and on his face, a red blood mark clearly appeared.

"Kill!" As soon as the big knife was withdrawn, Xiahou immediately let out another loud roar, and the big knife in his hand was picked up to the side, and it slashed at the neck of the general of the Xiliang army.

has already eaten a knife, and his life has long been withdrawn from his body, but the general of the Xiliang Army, who has not yet fallen off the horse, is stunned on the back of the horse without the slightest resistance.

With Xiahoudun roaring, the big knife "clicked" and cut through the neck of General Xiliang, the arc light crossed, and a stream of blood rushed into the air, and the head of the general of the Xiliang Army rolled off his neck like a ball, tumbling and falling to the ground.

The head was cut off, but the body of the Xiliang general did not fall from the horse, and the war horse spread its four hooves, carrying the body that was still gushing with blood in the cavity, and rushed out of the battlefield.

Shouting and killing, the Yanzhou army, under the leadership of Xiahoudun and other fierce generals, launched one onslaught after another on the Xiliang army.

In the main formation of the Yanzhou Army, Cao Cao pressed the hilt of his sword, standing under the banner of the commander of the Chinese army, with a pair of eyes slightly squinted, looking at the battlefield where the earth-shattering shouts of killing came from in the distance.

Since Dong Zhuo's ambush, the main generals of the Xiliang Army are dissatisfied with each other, and mutual attacks have occurred from time to time, and the original powerful and powerful division, after a long period of attrition, not only has the number of soldiers decreased sharply, but even the leading generals are scarce to the limit, and it is almost difficult to find people who can lead the army to fight.

Compared with the Xiliang Army, the Yanzhou Army is just like the sun, the fierce generals in the army are like clouds, the morale of the generals is high, and they launched an attack on the Xiliang Army, but they have only rushed and killed a few times, and the rear of the Xiliang Army that blocked the advance of the Yanzhou Army has already shown defeat.

On the east side of the battlefield, Guo Yan was leading a cavalry of the Xiliang Army to surround a black canopy carriage and gallop towards the east.

"General, our army is about to be defeated!" Just when Guo Yan was anxiously urging the cavalry to speed up, a cavalryman of the Xiliang Army rushed to his side, clasped his fists and shouted to him: "The Yanzhou cavalry has been copied from the back!" ”

"Cheng Yu!" Hearing that the Yanzhou cavalry had been copied from the back, Guo Yan's face was pale, and he turned his head to look at the battlefield that was fighting in the distance and the smoke and dust pouring towards him, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Shameless boy, you dare to deceive General Ben!" ”

Although he was scolding in his mouth, Guo Yan also knew that if the Yanzhou army caught up with him, what was waiting for him was probably to raid his house and destroy his door.

"Let's go!" The Yanzhou army, who was facing in the distance, scolded Cheng Yu, Guo Yan clamped his legs on the horse's belly, raised his horsewhip, and whipped it fiercely on the horse's buttocks, urging the accompanying cavalry to accelerate eastward around the carriage.

The battle continued, but under the charge of the Yanzhou army, the rout of the Xiliang army had begun, from the direction where Cao Cao was standing, it could be clearly seen that the Xiliang army in the rear was rapidly retreating, and the Xiliang army in front was surrounded by the Yanzhou army.

"Collect the troops!" Looking at the battlefield in the distance, seeing that the Xiliang army had already retreated, Cao Cao gave a faint order to a personal soldier standing behind him.

The pro-soldier responded, raised the small flag in his hand and drew twice in the void. While the soldiers drew the small flag, the Chinese military musicians puffed up their cheeks and blew the fence vigorously.

The low and deep sound pierced the air, echoed across the wilderness, and drifted into the ears of the Yanzhou soldiers on the battlefield.

"Ming Gong!" Cao Cao ordered the withdrawal of the army, and Xiahou Yuan, who was standing behind him and had been waiting for the battle, but had never had a chance to play, looked at Cao Cao with a stunned face and asked him: "Our army wins, it is the time to pursue the remnants of the enemy, why did Ming Gong order the withdrawal of the army?" ”

"Guo Yan has gone far!" Looking at the already small ant-like backs of the cavalry of the Xiliang Army in the distance, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and he said to Xiahou Yuan: "If it is pressed, I am afraid that Guo Yan will not be good for His Majesty." In the event that His Majesty is harmed, will we not be sinners through the ages? ”

Cao Cao swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva as Xiahou Yuan said, but he didn't dare to speak again.

In the hearts of Xiahou Yuan and others, Cao Cao has absolute prestige, and as for Liu Xie, who was taken away by Guo Yan, he is just a useless emperor.

If Cao Cao disregarded Liu Xie's life and death and insisted on ordering the Yanzhou army to pursue while he was victorious, Xiahou Yuan and the others would never have thought about whether Liu Xie could be rescued alive.

"Ming Gong Gao Yi!" The Xiliang army led by Guo Yan gradually disappeared in Cao Cao's sight, Cao Cao was frowning slightly, staring into the distance, and Cheng Yu, who designed to trick Guo Yan into opening the gate of Chang'an, stood on one side and hugged his fists and said to Cao Cao: "Guo Yan is from the Xiliang Army, and the army under his command has no foundation in the Central Plains. Ming Gong only needs to follow the pursuit without hurry, and after a few days, Guo Yan's food will run out, and it will be broken by Ming Gong! ”

"Pass the order!" Cao Cao nodded, looked into the distance, and said to the soldiers behind him: "The whole army is advancing alternately and pursuing Guo Yan!" ”

While Cao Cao occupied Chang'an and pursued Guo Yan, on the streets of Yangzhou City, an old man with white hair and a very old appearance was walking slowly along the street with his hands behind his back.

Located in Yangzhou, south of the Yangtze River, land and water shipping is very developed, the city is full of merchants, the market is full of shops, and there are hawkers selling along the street.

There are people coming and going on the streets, men and women are begging for a living, so it's not lively! Compared with the north, which fell into depression due to war, Yangzhou is really a prosperous place.

With his hands on his shoulders, the old man frowned slightly while walking forward slowly, looking at the shops on the left and right, and sighed softly from time to time, as if people were walking around the street, which reminded him of a sad past.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! As he walked slowly, a shout came to the old man's ears, and with the shouting, the three fast horses rushed from the other side of the street like electric switches.

On horseback were three cavalrymen wearing Huainan army armor. Although the streets were full of people, the three cavalrymen had no intention of slowing down. While desperately clamping their legs to the horse's belly, they raised their whips and slapped the horse's buttocks heavily, urging the horse to go faster.

The horse's hooves stepped on the bluestone pavement, and the bluestone slabs on the pavement made a muffled sound under the smashing of the horse's hooves.

The people on the street heard the shouting and rushed to the side of the road one by one.

When everyone flashed to the side of the road, the old man found that in the middle of the street, there was a man with a broken leg, sitting cross-legged on the ground, staring at the three fast horses galloping along the street with a shocked face.

In front of the man with a broken leg, there was a clay bowl, and in the clay bowl were two copper coins that he begged for from passers-by.

Standing outside the shop on the street, the old man watched as three fast horses galloped towards the man.

One of the fast horses did not slow down when he rushed to the man's approach, but the knight on horseback raised his whip and jerked it the horse's hips.

The horse was in pain, spread its hooves and rushed towards the man.

The two front hooves of the war horse were raised high, and with the fierce kicking of the sturdy hind legs, they crashed headlong into the man's body. The horse's hoof that landed first happened to step on the clay bowl and smashed the clay bowl, while the other horse's hoof stepped heavily on the man's shoulder blade.

The shoulder blade was trampled by the horse's hoof, and the man let out a terrible scream, and fell to the ground on his back.

The war horse that knocked him to the ground did not slow down at all, and the whole body of the horse was about to leap over the man, but one hind hoof stepped heavily on the man's lower abdomen when it landed.

When the war horse hit the man with the broken leg, the crowd on the streets on both sides let out an exclamation, seeing that the man was trampled to the ground by the war horse, and he couldn't stop spitting blood in his mouth, and he couldn't do it.

Standing on the side of the road, staring at the backs of the three cavalrymen riding away with resentment, a trace of resentment flashed in the old man's eyes.

However, he didn't keep staring at the back of the cavalry leaving, but strode towards the man who was knocked to the ground by the war horse, squatted down, couldn't stop spitting blood, and only hung the man with the broken leg who didn't swallow in one breath.

Holding the man with the broken leg on his shoulder, the old man took out a pill with a red skin and a shining luster like a jewel from his arms.

One hand pinched the man's mouth and pinched his teeth open, and the old man quickly stuffed the pill into the man's mouth before he let out a long breath and stood up as if relieved.

It wasn't until the old man threw the pill into the man's mouth that the people on both sides of the street woke up from the sudden change and gathered around the man who had been knocked over by the war horse and stepped on two hooves.

The onlookers could see clearly that the war horse not only knocked over the man with a broken leg, but also the horse's hooves had stepped heavily on his shoulders and lower abdomen.

When the war horse gallops, the strength of the horse's hooves is more than a thousand pounds. A step on the shoulder blade may only be a broken collarbone, crippled at best.

But if you get a horse's hoof on the lower abdomen, it's not easy to play.

The huge impact force acted on the soft lower abdomen, and the intestines in the abdominal cavity were not protected by bones, and they were directly stepped on by the heavy horses' hooves, even if they were not broken, I am afraid that they would be seriously damaged.

"I'm afraid it won't work!" Surrounded by the man with a broken leg, people pointed to the man, talking about the three cavalrymen who had just rushed over on horseback, and an old woman glanced at the man who was stuffed with a pill by the old man and lay on the ground, and sighed lightly and said: "This person is a homeless and hungry man, if the villagers pity him, they will scrape together a few copper coins, buy a straw mat, and bury him!" ”

"Wait!" Just when everyone responded and began to gather the copper coins, the old man who had fed the man with a broken leg a pill raised his hand, stopped everyone, and said to everyone: "Wait for a while, if he wakes up and can't come back, it's not too late to buy a straw mat!" ”

"You old man, it's quite funny!" As soon as the old man's words fell, a young man pursed his lips with disdain, and said to him, "But how can a man who is struck by a horse so vigorously live again?" ”
