Chapter 97: Half of the front teeth
The greatest tribute in the world is to kill them all.
When Yuan Shao's power was at its strongest, Cao Cao also thought that there were only two heroes in the world, him and Liu Bei.
After many years of fighting, Cao Cao always wanted to kill Liu Bei, but he never expected that Liu Bei would actually withstand the overwhelming offensive.
With this total defeat of him, Cao Cao realized that Liu Bei might be able to sit on the throne in the future and that he might become his most formidable opponent in the future.
Therefore, even if he is defeated now, even if he almost falls to the point of exhaustion, Cao Cao must seize the opportunity to fight Liu Bei again - this is likely to be the last chance to completely eliminate Liu Bei.
The best thing you know in the world is always your mortal enemy.
Liu Bei has liked to charge personally since he was young, and this time is no exception.
Hearing that Guan Ping was going to pursue Cao Cao, Liu Bei shook off Zhang without saying a word, and chased all the way to Wulin Trail.
On the way, there were a lot of routs of the Cao army, they showed their classic ability to rob themselves like the defeat of Wancheng back then, and there was a miserable image everywhere, Liu Bei was afraid that something would happen to Guan Ping, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and crashed into the encirclement set by Cao Cao himself.
Cao Cao was surprised and delighted, and personally came out with a sword, but the most conspiracy strategist did not choose to fight Liu Bei alone, but took advantage of himself to attract Liu Bei's attention and ordered his archers to release arrows together, trying to shoot Liu Bei on the spot.
Liu Bei was wearing a light Liangdang armor, and immediately hit the arrows one after another, Cao Cao was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the tiger and leopard to ride out to fight.
But as soon as the tiger and leopard rode away, he found out that Liu Bei had already secretly arranged for his subordinates to outflank him on both sides - this old opponent actually used the same strategy as himself to lure the enemy, and the person in charge of outflanking was Zhao Yun, the general who had impressed Cao Cao from the Changban slope before.
Zhao Yun rode a white horse, running like a fly, and immediately launched a fierce attack on the weak guards around Cao Cao.
If Guan Ping's attack before was a trickle, then Zhao Yun's attack was an endless wave.
This warrior, who is more than forty years old this year, has already achieved great martial arts, stabbing with a silver spear, pecking, blocking, and fighting in one go, Cao Junzhong has no enemy in front of him, and the screams and exclamations are repeated, so frightened that Cao Zhen hurriedly gave up his life to defend, which barely stopped Zhao Yun's advance.
But without Cao Zhen leading the tiger and leopard cavalry to attack head-on, Liu Bei's pressure suddenly decreased, he roared angrily, and ordered the whole army to assault, and Cao Cao must be taken.
At this moment, Cao Cao finally felt a deep fear, without Xu Chu by his side, how could Cao Cao dare to sit in front of him safely.
He hastily retreated, escorted by several soldiers, and called out repeatedly:
"Zhong Kang, Zhong Kang! Come and protect me! ”
Cao Ren and Xu Chu's martial arts are on par with Cao Jun except for Zhang Liao, Zang Ba and others, Guan Ping has only more than 20 people, Xu Chu and Cao Ren's strength is enough to devour them alive, and the battle should end as soon as possible at this moment.
Cao Cao hurriedly called, but saw Cao Ren running over with a dejected face.
"Where's Zhongkang?" Cao Cao asked anxiously.
Xu Chu will not betray himself, even if everyone in the world is an enemy of him, Xu Chu will definitely protect Cao Cao and be willing to die together.
Seeing that everyone under Cao Ren's command was frightened and depressed, Cao Cao seemed to realize something, he was attacked by fire before, and the scattered soldiers and horses did not make this hero desperate, but realizing that Xu Chu might encounter an accident, Cao Cao actually felt a sweetness in his throat.
"Prime Minister, let's go." Cao Ren couldn't help but say, carried Cao Cao on his back, and shouted to Cao Zhen to leave.
Cao Zhen led the tiger and leopard cavalry to gradually block Zhao Yun's attack, and was about to annihilate the killing god on the slope of Changsaka on the spot, it can be seen that Cao Ren called to retreat, and Cao Zhen couldn't help but widen his eyes.
No, so many of you can't beat twenty thieves? These people are all heavenly soldiers?
Cao Ren was a big official, and Cao Zhen was also forced to obey, he called out, and the tiger and leopard rider immediately turned around.
Cheng Yu, who was still strangled with Liu Bei before, saw that the situation was not good, so he could only look up to the sky and sigh, and joined the ranks of escaping in frustration.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun knew that Guan Ping in front of him was sure to win, and he was immediately surprised and delighted, and immediately rushed after Cao Cao's rear army desperately.
Cao Jun's morale was exhausted at this time, and there were more and more casualties, so he could only give up the idea of annihilating Liu Bei and join the escape road.
Cao Cao was carried on Cao Ren's shoulders and kept asking what was going on.
Cao Ren had mixed feelings in his heart, where did he dare to respond, he could only carry Cao Cao on his back and quickly escape under the cover of everyone.
On the way to escape, he saw a scene that he would never forget.
Xu Chu was still on his horse, looking in the direction of Cao Cao.
In the darkness of the night, it was impossible to see where he was injured, and Cao Cao thought that this loyal warrior had fought his way out of the siege and was waiting for him here, which made his heart settle down a little.
Is Zhongkang okay?
That's good.
But Cao Ren passed by Xu Chu with him on his back, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the tall man suddenly fell from his horse and fell heavily to the ground, his huge eyes were wide open, but he had long lost his lustre.
The smile on Cao Cao's face that he had managed to squeeze out disappeared in an instant, and he looked at Xu Chu who fell to the ground in a daze, unable to see his face clearly, and suddenly roared like crazy.
"Don't go! Don't go! Kill them, kill them! We...... There are so many of us! Kill, kill! ”
Cao Cao's hysterical voice was like the desperate roar of a beast before it died, Cao Jun had always obeyed the old man's orders, and when he heard his roar, many soldiers subconsciously stopped and prepared to turn around and fight.
But a feather arrow suddenly flashed in the darkness, this arrow was light and powerless, and everyone barely had to dodge, but in the next moment, a terrible exclamation sounded beside Cao Cao.
"Prime Minister!"
It was Cao Ren's scream.
I saw Cao Cao covering his mouth in pain, blood kept flowing out of his mouth, his face was full of anger, his body trembled with anger, and the sound of a beastly lotus slowly came out of his thin body.
In the distance, Huang Zhong sighed hatefully and gave himself a backhand slap.
Huang Zhong was seriously injured in the previous battle, although he found Cao Cao's location in the following sound, but he desperately ran out of strength with an arrow and did not shoot Cao Cao.
Now that he had finally exhausted the last of his strength, the longbow in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
"Go, go, go!" Cao Zhen, who wanted to fight hard, was also frightened by this anti-heaven archery and couldn't speak, he hurriedly ordered everyone to leave quickly, the Cao soldiers all hugged their heads and ran around, Xu Chu, who had no breath, still stared at the scene in front of him with wide eyes, the wind blew, and the famous general was reluctant to close his eyes.
Cao Cao was not far away, Guan Ping subconsciously chased after him, but suddenly felt a blur in front of him, and he was dizzy for a while.
The previous battle with Xu Chu exhausted all Guan Ping's physical strength, his right wrist was severely bruised, his left arm and chest were also cut by Xu Chu's steel knife many times before, and the blood flowed too much.
No, me, I'm going to make it!
Guan Ping forcibly urged the horse, but he finally couldn't resist the sleepiness, fell headlong from the horse, and fell heavily on the cold ground.
