In desperation, Cao Hong had to turn around, wanting to rush out from other places, he had already thought that once he came to Pang De's side, it would be to fight to the death and hit the opponent hard.

It's a pity that this idea is a little late, because I knew that Cao Hong would not fight hard with him, let alone give him a chance to lose both.

Under Pang De's order, more and more cavalry of the Seventh Legion joined the encirclement, and they trapped Cao Hong firmly in the middle, and there were spear formations on all sides that could take people's lives at any time, and on the periphery, there were many cavalry with their own bows and arrows.

"Cao Hong, I'm asking you again, do you surrender." Seeing this moment, Cao Hong was like a red-eyed person, his eyes were red and he was rushing around, and Pang De, who was outside, shouted loudly.

"Pound Xiaoer, if you have the ability to fight me for three hundred rounds, I will not do it if I surrender." At this moment, Cao Hong's voice said like a hammer.

Although he had known that there would be such a result, Pang De couldn't help but sigh when he heard this answer, to say that Cao Hong still has some ability, if he is willing to surrender, it can be regarded as injecting a bit of strength into the strength of the Celestial Empire.

It's just that no matter what you have the ability to, even if you can't use it, then you have to kill. As a general, although capable people like it, loyalty is also very important, and they will not allow any dangerous factors to develop into greatness.

"Draw the bow!" Pang De knew that Cao Hong might only be relieved by dying, so he gave an order to prepare the archers on the periphery.

"Yikes! I'm fighting with you. Noticing that the archers had made preparations, Cao Hong seemed to have known his fate, and it seemed that it was impossible to kill Pang De, but before he died, he still wanted to kill a few people, even ordinary soldiers could be regarded as earning.

Cao Hong suddenly rushed in one direction, and it was clear that he would not die. Faced with this scene, Pang De did not hesitate, spit out the word "put", and immediately fired a random arrow at Cao Hong, who was rushing out on horseback.

Hundreds of archers and cavalry released their bows and arrows in unison, and the arrows fell on Cao Hong's body after the air was empty, and immediately, the general who was still shouting fell to the ground with a thud and stood up forever.

Cao Cao's younger brother, Cao Hong, a famous general of the Wei army, was shot to death by random arrows like this, and even when he died, he still stared at a pair of big eyes, showing his inner unwillingness...

Cao Hong died in battle, and as soon as the news came out, those Wei troops who were still resisting suddenly felt that the sky was falling, and the belief that originally supported their desperate resistance also collapsed, and then most of the Wei troops chose to surrender.

When the corps commander Zhang Liao came to the battlefield with the main force and Li Dian's prisoners, Pang De and Bao Mi were cleaning the battlefield and counting the number of prisoners.

In this battle, many Wei generals, including Li Dian, were captured, and 130,000 soldiers were captured; More than a dozen Wei generals, including Cao Hong, were killed, more than 60,000 soldiers were killed, and only a few thousand escaped.

With this brilliant result, Zhang Liao retreated with the Seventh Army Corps. They also lost nearly 20,000 elite cavalry in this battle, and now what they need to do is to replenish new energy from the captives, and then report the results to Zhang Chao, the emperor of Jinyang City, waiting for new orders.

......

Xiahou Yuan led an army of 200,000 to fight with Lu Bu's vanguard army.

On the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, the war drums were thunderous, the flags were waving, the smoke and dust were covered in the sky, and the shouts of killing were loud...

The infantry-based camp to attack the cavalry is a bit against common sense, but now Xiahou Yuan really has no better choice. The bows and crossbows of the vanguard army have been improved to a certain extent, and they use longbows, which have a much higher range than them, and if they do not take the initiative to attack, they will be slaughtered.

The advantage in weapons forced Xiahou Yuan to know that there would be heavy losses if he did this, but he really had no choice.

People say that if you want to win on the battlefield, you need to take advantage of the time, place and people.

And now these three things are almost occupied by the army of the Celestial Empire.

Whether it is compared to the momentum, combat effectiveness, cohesion, and sophistication of weapons and equipment of the armies of both sides, the vanguard corps has the upper hand, so this battle, from the very beginning, is almost a one-sided situation.

Although Xiahou Yuan is also a famous general, he has already paid great attention to tactical adjustment when ordering the army to charge, but in the face of absolute strength, the role he can play is still too small, especially under Lu Bu's order to charge the cavalry, this disadvantage has become more obvious.

Wherever the cavalry of the vanguard regiment went, it was like a whirlwind, bringing up patches of smoke and dust, but wherever they passed, there were no people or animals...

Before the horses arrived, the arrows arrived first, and the Wei army, which was the enemy under the longbow, was hit hard three hundred paces away, and often before the two sides had officially fought each other, they had already killed half of the battle...

The flying iron hooves and the stabbing of long knives and spears made the Wei army camp under the chaos more and more chaotic, and the resistance that could be played by the formation was getting smaller and smaller...

All of this made the balance of victory and defeat on the battlefield more and more tilted, and the expression on Xiahou Yuan's face as the main general became more and more pale and painful.

The strength of the vanguard legion was far beyond Xiahou Yuan's expectations, he originally thought that even if he couldn't beat the other party, he could at least fight for a lose-lose situation, even if his 200,000 people were gone, but the strength of the vanguard legion should also be greatly reduced.

But the current situation tells him that his thinking is still too optimistic, the combat power of the vanguard army is much more than twice that of him, plus the superiority of cavalry over infantry and equipment, this gap has been infinitely widened.

"That's it, if you die in battle, you will die in battle, and you will be a good man again eighteen years later." After a long sigh, Xiahou Yuan held the silver long knife tightly in both hands and walked straight forward with the main force.

The rout of the vanguard of the Wei army was irreversible, and the impact of Xiahou Yuan was considered to have suspended this decline, but it was only slowed down, and when Lü Bu came with Hou Cheng and Chun Yuqiong with the main force, the Wei army's just stable footsteps appeared to loosen again, and were quickly broken.

The formation of the Wei army was broken, and for a time the soldiers did not know the generals, and the generals did not know the soldiers, and soon fell into chaos, poor Xiahou Yuan only led the army to fight for a while before he found that he and the three thousand cavalry he brought became the turtle in the urn, and was surrounded by the cavalry of the vanguard corps several times his own strength.

"Rush out." Looking to the left, he saw that there were also tens of thousands of encircled infantry, which were now being eaten away by the vanguard legion using the advantage of cavalry, so Xiahou Yuan gave the order to attack to the left.

"Hou Cheng is here, where to go!" It's just that Xiahou Yuan just rushed towards this side with his cavalry, and there was already a Celestial Empire general wearing a yellow cloak on the road.

Xiahou Yuan was not afraid of Hou Cheng, but he did know that this person could not be killed if he said that he could be killed, once he was delayed here for too long, the tens of thousands of infantry on the left side were afraid that they would be wiped out. He had no choice but to turn to the right, and on that side he saw more than 20,000 infantry surrounded by cavalry.

With 3,000 cavalry rushing to the right, a general in a yellow cloak stood up on the road and shouted: "Chun Yuqiong is here, who will fight with me?" ”

"Go to the rear." Xiahou Yuan had no choice but to go back with the cavalry.

Back and forth, Xiahou Yuan delayed the retreat too much, and when the three thousand cavalry followed him backwards, the commander of the Lu Bu army, who was wearing a red cloak and holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, chased after him with five thousand cavalry.

"It's not good, it's Lu Bu?" Among the three thousand cavalry of the Wei army, someone had already recognized Lu Bu in the distance, whether it was the red cloak or the glittering Fang Tian painting halberd, or the red rabbit horse covered in red hair, all of them completely revealed the identity of this person.

As soon as Lu Bu's name came out, there was a trace of panic among the 3,000 cavalry, which shows that people are as their names and their names are as their prestige as they are.

Xiahou Yuan also heard the shout, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked.

Others may not know how powerful Lu Bu is, but as a general of Wei and a military minister of Cao Cao's victory, he does know that this person is not a waste of fame, but really has his strong strength.

Xiahou Yuan also heard his brother Xiahou Yuan say that if he faced Lu Bu alone, he was afraid that no one in the world would be invincible, and no one could do it if he could fight with him in the Wei State, maybe the two of them could work together.

It's just that where to find his brother's shadow now, in reality, Xiahou Yuan has to face it alone.

Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse, only in terms of speed, it can be said that no one can match, and the five thousand cavalry he brought was originally the elite force of the vanguard legion, which made their speed much higher than Xiahou Yuan, who was running backwards.

The distance between the two sides was narrowing step by step, and when the distance was only one mile, Xiahou Yuan knew that it was impossible to run, although he was close to the rear, but there were at least two thousand vanguard cavalry guarding there, once he fought with him, he would not be able to pass quickly, and once he let Lu Bu behind him, he would face the danger of being attacked from both sides.

"That's it, the whole army stopped advancing, turned around, and prepared bows and arrows!" Knowing that there was no way out, Xiahou Yuan made up his mind to have a head-on attack with Lu Bu.

Xiahou Yuan's order was issued, and his three thousand cavalry began to prepare, waiting for them to stop and wait for them to rein in their horses, and after preparing their bows and arrows, Lu Buji in the distance was less than three hundred steps away from them with five thousand cavalry.

"Shoot the arrows!" In desperation, Xiahou Yuan only ordered his cavalry to release a wave of bows and arrows, and then rushed forward with the cavalry.
