Hearing that the Fifth Legion had appeared, not hiding, Cao Hong couldn't help but feel relieved, but when he thought that the Seventh Legion was attacking alone, a sneering smile appeared on his face and said, "Hmph! The Seventh Legion is Zhang Liao's department, I didn't expect him to want one enemy and two defeats? ”

Although Cao Hong knew that the so-called one enemy and two were not valid, because one army was 200,000 people, he was still willing to say so, as if doing so could bring him infinite self-confidence.

"This may be true, because we reported that the Seventh Army has followed General Li Dian since it appeared, presumably he wants to break them one by one." The scout captain told him all the information he had found.

"One by one, he won't be afraid of the wind, and his tongue won't work. In this way, immediately keep an eye on Xincheng, and at the same time arrange for people to keep an eye on General Li Dian's headquarters, if only the Seventh Army is alone, then we will kill them and attack them on both sides. "Cao Hong doesn't want to retreat at this time, they don't belong to the defeated army now, they are just strategically retreating. And once there is a good opportunity, he doesn't mind taking the initiative, if he can take this opportunity to severely damage the Celestial Empire army, then he will never miss it.

Cao Hong did not immediately lead the army to retreat, but rushed in the direction of Li Dian's retreat. It can be said that he originally had the opportunity to withdraw with an army of 100,000, but because he really wanted to deal with the army of the Celestial Empire, he lost a great opportunity.

Li Dian was retreating with a large army, and like Cao Hong, he was still paying attention to what was happening behind him even when he was withdrawing.

This time, Wei gathered a large army to come, originally thinking of destroying the Celestial Empire in a war, but he never expected that this goal was not achieved, but because the other party had a powerful weapon such as explosives, the army's morale was scattered, and only a quarter of the original two million army was left.

After this change, the Wei army can be said to be in turmoil, and when the king of Wei fell into a coma, the current Wei State can be described as a storm, and at this moment, as a general who has received too many gifts from Cao Cao, he knows that he should stand up.

Li Dian is a person who attaches great importance to righteousness, and because of this, since the moment he followed Cao Cao, he has dedicated everything. This time there was a sudden accident, and all he thought about was how to serve King Wei.

This is also the reason why Xiahoudun said that he would let him lead the troops to stay, without the slightest objection. And when Cao Hong said that he would divide his troops and withdraw, he had no other opinions, that was because he had already made mental preparations and was determined to fight with the army of the Celestial Empire and spill blood on the battlefield.

The scouts finally came with the news that only the Seven Legions of the Celestial Empire had chased them out, and they were still coming from their own direction.

"Good time." Li Dian is indeed not afraid of anti-happiness at this meeting, he is waiting for this moment. "Someone, convey my order, the rear army will become the front army, and fight back towards the Seventh Army Corps, so as to buy enough time for General Cao Hong's retreat."

Li Dian didn't plan to leave, the other generals heard this, first looked frightened, and then sighed, they seemed to know what the main general meant, but at this point, they had no choice, it seemed that they had to turn around and strike.

Of course, not all generals thought this way, and one of them, Bu Qi, had other thoughts.

步骘 (zhì), the character Zishan. A native of Huaiyin (now northwest of Huaiyin, Jiangsu). A plum blossom gun is superb, showing an opponent.

If it is only according to the place of birth, Buqi should serve Dongwu. However, because of the chaos in the world, the Sun family of Eastern Wu has only been defending, and has not seen the slightest expansion, so that some ambitious heroes have to give up and invest in this door, such as Buqi is one of them.

Bu Qi, who did not serve the Eastern Wu, originally planned to go to Jinyang City in the north and wanted to defect to Zhang Chao. In his opinion, although this person is young, his goals are wide and his courage seems to be unmatched. If you want to make a contribution, it seems that it is the most suitable person to surrender to this person.

It's just that many things can't catch up with the changes, when Buqi wants to go north and pass through Yuzhou, he is indeed unfortunate to be a villain, and was plotted by a group of bandits, and he drank sweat medicine because of carelessness, so that he became a meat ticket. Fortunately, at this moment, General Li Dian led his troops to pass by and rescued him, and he was grateful for the other party's life-saving grace, so he joined as a general under him.

This time, the army of Wei entered the division, and Buqi was sandwiched in the army, which was a bit of a dilemma.

In his heart, he wanted to join the Celestial Empire, but now he really can't use it as an enemy, but he still wants to repay Li Dian's kindness, so he is now in a dilemma.

Fortunately, because of the power of explosives, the Wei army was scared, and all the recruits fled, which made Bu Qi breathe a sigh of relief, and he even thought that after retreating to the Wei realm this time, he would find a way to persuade Li Dian, and then the two joined the Celestial Empire together.

It's just that I never thought that General Li Dian had received a new task, that is, to act as a rear army to stop the pursuit of the Celestial Empire's army. In this way, it seems that he has to be the enemy of the Celestial Empire.

But things are always full of variables, and then Li Dian actually retreated, which gave birth to a glimmer of hope in Bu Qi's heart. He is also confident that with him, even if the Celestial Empire army catches up, he has the ability to fight a bloody way to protect General Li Dian out, at that time, he is equivalent to repaying the favor, so it is not too late to defect to the Celestial Empire.

But fate is always willing to joke with people, and when Bu Qi thought that he could pass the test calmly, Li Dian actually gave an order to go back to meet the army of the Celestial Empire, and his heart really became cold at this moment.

Although Bu Qi was confident that he could stun Li Dian and take him away, if he did so, some of the other generals in the tent would definitely not like it. He had almost no qualifications, and he was promoted to a thousand-commander, which made many people jealous, if he plundered Li Dian in public now, he would definitely be hunted down, and at that time, he would face the generals with the strength of one person, even if he had the ability, he would not be able to escape.

In desperation, Bu Qiu had to let go of the idea of capturing Li Dian, but he still kept this Lu Fa and did not give up the idea of saving Li Dian's life at a critical time.

Li Dian gave an order, and ordered several of his commanders to lead the army to set up a formation, and he also knew that most of the seven legions that came were cavalry, and if they were not prepared, they would probably suffer. After doing this, he took Buqi and other generals to the way they came, and he wanted to see what was so powerful about this Seventh Legion.

Speaking of the Seventh Army Army, Zhang Liao followed behind Li Dian's army when he left the new city, but soon received the news that Li Dian's army had stopped and set up a formation, and at the same time, Cao Hong, who fled in another direction, also led troops to his side.

"Legion Commander, this is what they want to outflank us." After the deputy corps commander Pang De heard the news, he immediately told the situation he had analyzed. Just saying that, his face was indeed full of fighting intent, and it was obvious that he did not have the slightest worry about the current crisis of the Seventh Legion.

After experiencing the battle with the Rus' Kingdom, Pound clearly knows what kind of height the Seventh Legion's combat power has reached. In the past, he also served as a general in Xiliang, and even at a certain stage, he thought that no one in the world would be the opponent of Xiliang soldiers.

But now, I don't know where that idea has gone. After seeing the combat power of the Seventh Legion, especially after several months of fighting with Ross, and knowing that the sergeants of the Seventh Legion were veterans who had experienced countless lives and deaths, all of this changed his mind. Now if you go to compare, the Xiliang Army is too weak, if you have to divide the ranks, the Xiliang soldiers can only be regarded as ten-year-old children, and the Seventh Army is indeed equivalent to an eighteen-year-old adult man, such two people go to fight, the result is conceivable.

It is precisely because he has a deep understanding of the combat power of the Seventh Army that when he heard that the Wei army was going to encircle him, Pang De was not afraid of anti-joy, and in the face of extremely strong strength, any conspiracy was useless. Not to mention, in terms of military strength alone, the two sides are still equal.

Pound De was excited, and the other legion commander on the side, Bao Mi, also said in the same excited voice: "Legion leader, how do you say how to fight, we will come one by one, or fight together." ”

Obviously, General Budmi, who also experienced the battle with Rus, is now full of confidence.

Seeing that the two deputy corps commanders were not the slightest fear of war, Zhang Liao, as the corps commander, was naturally extremely happy, "Okay, even if everyone is so confident, then we will fight Li Dian first, and after cleaning up, he will go back and clean up Cao Hong." In this way, I ordered General Bao Mi to lead 50,000 troops to block Cao Hong's army first, remembering, it is best not to attack until it is absolutely necessary, and it is best to show weakness to attract them firmly. General Pang De and I attacked head-on, and first ate Li Dian, and the 100,000 people were talking. ”

Zhang Liao dared to say this, also because of extreme self-confidence. He believed that the soldiers of the Seventh Army Corps, who had experienced a hundred battles, believed that with such an elite, the 200,000 Wei army could not be his opponents, not to mention that as far as he knew, the number of cavalry among these 200,000 people was not even 50,000, so it was even more impossible to threaten him.

As soon as Zhang Liao's order was given, General Bao Mi ordered 50,000 soldiers and horses to go backwards, and the 150,000 cavalry of the other seven legions rushed forward under the leadership of Zhang Liao and Pang De.

For Li Dian's 100,000 army, Zhang Liao's tactics are one, and he can kill them directly. With his own advantages, there is no need to make any strategies and strategies now, what he has to do now is to destroy Li Dian first, and then go back to clean up Cao Hong.
