The Xiliang army headed south.

Although they left Liangzhou and entered Wudu County, the Cao army in the rear still pursued them relentlessly.

It is precisely because the situation is difficult, and if it continues like this, they are afraid that they will really have to fight against the water. But with the current situation of the Western Liang Army, they don't have any chance of winning at all.

Beside Ma Chao, a lieutenant general said with an ugly face:

"Major General, the brothers are almost unable to run, and if they continue like this, many people will be separated along the way."

Ma Chao squinted his eyes, now Ma Teng's body is weak, and he is no longer able to control the overall situation, so he can only hand it over to Ma Chao, in such a situation, Ma Chao has no choice but to grit his teeth and say:

"I can't care so much, the rear is chasing after the Cao army's elite cavalry, their combat strength should not be underestimated, if we turn back to meet the enemy at this moment, our army will not be an opponent at all.

But as long as we move forward, I believe it will not be long before reinforcements will come and let the brothers hold on. ”

rushed one after another, even Ma Chao felt extremely tired.

The lieutenant nodded with a sigh.

Today, the rear Cao army is even more anxious to catch up.

So that they did not dare to rest all night.

It's just that Ma Chao didn't pay attention.

On the side of their hurry, there was a team of soldiers and horses hidden, and they were Xu Shu and his party who came from below.

Zhang Fei looked at it from a distance and said:

"This Xiliang army is really the end of the crossbow, and the Cao army will catch up soon, if we come later, I'm afraid that all we will see is their bones."

At the same time, Zhao Yun also asked:

"Strategist, when will I do it?"

Xu Shu waved his hand and said:

"Don't be in a hurry, it's not too late to wait for Cao Jun to come over before making a move, I'll wait for the starry night to come here, in order to kill Cao Jun by surprise, even if they are not as tired as the Xiliang Army, it is impossible to maintain their full heyday, this is a good opportunity."

Hearing this, Zhang Fei gritted his teeth and said:

"Today, I want them to know how powerful I am Zhang Yide."

Although this battle has nothing to do with rescuing Liu Bei, the two sides are already mortal enemies, and it is not too late to fight.

I was about to vent the evil anger in my heart.

Xu Shu had no objection to Zhang Fei's cruel words, he nodded lightly, and his thoughts were almost the same.

Only by defeating Cao Cao can Liu Bei be rescued.

Every battle now is a crucial step.

Wait for the Xiliang army to leave.

There was smoke and dust in the back, and sure enough, it was Cao Jun who chased and killed.

Unlike the embarrassment of the Xiliang army, although the Cao army also traveled a long distance, they still maintained a complete formation.

The leader is Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang is Cao Cao's most powerful son, and this time he handed over the tiger and leopard ride to him to command.

At this moment, Cao Zhang looked ahead and said loudly:

"The Xiliang army has run out of food and grass, and it is impossible for them to hold out for too long, we will continue to pursue, and we will be able to wipe them all out tomorrow at the latest."

Cao Zhang has this self-confidence.

Although the last time they met, he realized that he was far from being Ma Chao's opponent. However, their own troops are strong and strong, but the Xiliang army cannot even guarantee the supply of grain and grass.

They've got the win.

Cao Zhang shouted:

"The whole army pursues and annihilates the Xiliang army at all costs!"

This is Cao Cao's order!

The soldiers regained their morale, and although they were also tired, the feeling of running away and chasing and killing was not the same.

On the side of the road, Xu Shu and his entourage were ready to go.

Zhang Fei was about to move:

"Strategist, it's almost time!"

Xu Shu smiled dumbly, nodded and said:

"Okay, it seems that Cao Jun has not found any trace of us, this is a good opportunity for a surprise attack, so let's do it!"

"Kill!"

In a simple word, it is the final order.

Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and the generals did not delay any longer, they rushed out directly and killed the unaware Cao Jun.

"Yanren Zhang Yide is here, who dares to fight with me!"

Zhang Fei's roar was like thunder, just because of Liu Qi's appearance, there was no Changbanpo to show him his might.

Many soldiers and horses rushed up.

They have been waiting here for a long time, and their strength has returned to their peak.

Follow Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to kill.

The two generals took the lead, without any hesitation, and in the face of the elite of the Cao army, they did not see the slightest fear.

Even if they face the Cao army completely, they dare to fight with it, not to mention that the Cao army is already exhausted and its combat strength is low, so there is no need to worry.

As for Xu Shu, of course he was not idle.

Although Xu Shu's strength is not a first-class general, it is not comparable to ordinary soldiers.

Anyway, with Zhao Yun and Zhang Feichong in front, don't worry.

A rush of killing sounded.

immediately attracted the attention of Cao Zhang and others.

Their faces changed, and even if they hadn't seen the enemy clearly, they knew that they had encountered an ambush.

"Be careful, there is an ambush, the whole army meets the enemy!"

Cao Zhang gave the order and prepared to meet the enemy with all his attention.

The soldiers were a little flustered, but they were worthy of being the elite of Cao's army, and they quickly adjusted.

Prepare for a battle.

When Cao Zhang heard Zhang Fei's roar, he couldn't help but look surprised, isn't this Zhang Fei Liu Bei's subordinate?

Why is it that Liu Bei is captured now, but Zhang Fei appears here?

But these are secondary, and you should not take them lightly in the face of a sudden enemy attack.

It is rumored that this Zhang Fei is a fierce general of ten thousand enemies.

Let him know how powerful my Cao Ziwen is today!

Cao Zhang has a kind of self-confidence, his strength is indeed not weak, and he can be among the best in Cao Jun.

Except for Xu Chu, Zhang Liao and a few others, the rest are difficult to match. If he didn't have such skills, Cao Zhang wouldn't dare to shout outside, arrogant people need capital.

And Cao Zhang is so arrogant, but nothing has happened until now, which shows that his level is indeed not to be underestimated.

However, Zhang Fei's strength is not something he can touch.

The tens of thousands of troops in ambush rushed out in one go.

Cut off Cao Jun's waist.

Zhang Fei had a clear goal, and went straight to Cao Zhang, who was in front of the army, and captured the thief first, and the master was the easiest way to win.

And Zhao Yun didn't say much, leading the troops to rush left and right in the crowd.

Cao Zhang shouted:

"The dog thief is rampant, look at me Cao Ziwen fighting you!"

After that, he took the initiative to meet him.

Who is Cao Ziwen?

Zhang Fei is a little unfamiliar, but this does not affect it, this person has the courage to take the initiative to face the battle, so let him know how powerful he is.

"Suffer death!"

With the snake spear in his hand, Zhang Fei suddenly picked it out, and he was majestic.

When the two sides fought, Cao Zhang finally realized that the situation was not good, this flying card was worthy of its name, and its strength was amazing, but one round had already made him tremble and frightened.

"How is that possible?"

Cao Zhang was a little incredulous.

He felt that this Zhang Fei was even more fierce than Ma Chao.

On the battlefield that day, Ma Chao traveled a long distance to support after all, and it was normal for his physical strength to be affected.

But now, Zhang Fei, they have been waiting here for a long time.

Hold your breath and wait for the big battle.

Now that I have the opportunity, it is a catharsis of my brain, and there is no intention of showing mercy to my subordinates at all.

A few more rounds followed.

Cao Zhang's moves were scattered, and he was almost unable to resist it.

He was really unwilling, if he continued like this, he would die under the spear of the Zhangba snake.

At this moment, a long knife suddenly appeared.

barely blocked the attack of the Zhanghachi snake spear.

Cao Zhang looked sideways, it was Cao Hong who came to support, Cao Hong was short of breath, and said with an eager expression:

"Ziwen, the army can't resist it, quickly lead the troops to retreat."

Hearing this, Cao Zhang looked to the side.

Sure enough, under the rush of Zhao Yun and others, the elite of Cao Jun, who was already tired, was not an opponent at all.

Even if it is as strong as a tiger and a leopard, it has already collapsed.

Now it is not them chasing and killing the Xiliang army, but the enemy army is ambushing them with ease and labor.

If they keep fighting, they want it

The whole army was annihilated.

Even if he evacuated at this moment, heavy losses were inevitable, and Cao Zhang's face suddenly turned pale.

With Cao Hong's help, Cao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't delay, he made a false move to evacuate, and Cao Hong did the same, wanting to get rid of Zhang Fei and run quickly.

But how could Zhang Fei give them a chance.

It's riding a horse and chasing after it.

He also shouted:

"The dog thief is gone, eat a spear!"

The cold light of the Zhangba snake spear flashed, making people see the color change, Cao Zhang was already frightened and didn't dare to look back.

At the front.

Cao Ren is also the leader of the army and wants to fight against Zhao Yun and others.

Although he is good at defense, there are no fortifications here, how can he stop Changshan Zhao Zilong?

Although Cao Ren is not weak, he is not Zhao Yun's opponent at all.

Cao's army continued to retreat.

Zhang Fei led the troops to attack, and the generals of the Cao army barely gathered the remnants of the army and wanted to retreat, but Cao Hong walked a step slowly.

He saw Zhang Fei chasing after him, and knew that it was difficult for him to get out, so he simply gritted his teeth and said:

"Ziwen, Zixiao, you go quickly, leave me alone."

Immediately, Cao Hong and Zhang Fei were killed.

But Cao Hong alone, how to stop Zhang Fei, who was full of murderous intentions, was soon completely suppressed.

A few rounds later, Zhang Feizhang's eight snake spears stabbed out.

Kill Cao Hong under the horse.

Originally, Cao Zhang and Cao Ren wanted to rescue, but when they saw Cao Hong falling, they could only evacuate with grief in their hearts.

Fortunately, they had a large number of cavalry.

After breaking out of the encirclement, they quickly distanced themselves, and Xu Shu did not let Zhang Fei chase after them.

Just take it when you see it.

If you rush to pursue, you may have an accident.

Now that Ma Teng and the others have fled south, Cao Cao must lead the army down, wouldn't it be embarrassing if he encountered it?

In this battle, Xu Shu and his entourage won a complete victory.

not only beheaded Cao Hong, the general under Cao Cao, but also defeated the elite of Cao's army, and the tiger and leopard cavalry also suffered heavy losses.

No matter how you look at it, they have made a lot of money.

After all, the loss of this battle means that Cao Cao's strength is weakened by one point, and it will be much easier to face in the future.

Zhang Fei beheaded Cao Hong, and when he saw Cao Jun quickly withdrawing, he had a somewhat disdainful expression on his face, and said in a cold voice:

"These Cao soldiers are really cowardly, so they ran away, and they didn't dare to fight me to the death."

Xu Shu smiled when he heard this:

"That person should be Cao Cao's son Cao Zhang, and it was Cao Cao's relative Cao Hong who was killed by you Yide, and it was Cao Cao's relative Cao Hong who won a big victory today, which is always a good thing."

Hearing Xu Shu's words, Zhang Fei's eyes widened like copper bells, and his face was full of regret, and he said:

"That person is actually Cao Cao's son, I missed such a good opportunity, if I capture him alive, I may be able to exchange it for my eldest brother."

Regarding Zhang Fei's thoughts, Xu Shu didn't know what to say.

But he had a faint feeling that even if he really won Cao Zhang, he might not be able to exchange Liu Bei back.

After all, Cao Cao has more than one son.

But Liu Bei is one of Cao Cao's most feared mortal enemies.

How could a tyrant like Cao Cao not weigh the pros and cons, Cao Cao must have his decision.

didn't dwell on this, and the departing Xiliang army turned around.

Ma Chao led the troops to withdraw, but suddenly heard movement in the rear, and there seemed to be a sound of fighting.

Ma Chao didn't dare to turn back easily, just let people investigate.

It was found that someone had ambushed Cao Jun, which surprised Ma Chao and the others, and they confirmed their identities a little, knowing that it might be under Liu Qi's command, which made them feel relieved.

So, Ma Chaocai led the troops back and came.

Seeing Cao Jun retreating, Ma Chao knew that he was safe, and the escape these days was really exhausting.

Ma Chao rode his horse.

Xu Shu and others rectified a little, and they also greeted the past:

"We are under Liu Jingzhou, is Your Excellency Xiliang Jinma Chao?"

Although the lord of Xu Shu and the others is Liu Bei, they are now doing things for Liu Qi, so there is no problem in saying this.

Ma Chao replied:

"Yes, it's underneath, just now

Thanks to your help, otherwise our army would have been in a desperate situation. ”

Xu Shu looked around and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity:

"Where is General Zhengnan?"

Ma Chao sighed and said:

"Don't hide it, my father was injured in Xiliang, he broke through from Jincheng before, and the sores burst out, and now the injury is even more serious, and he is recuperating at the moment."

Xu Shu was stunned, but he didn't dwell on this, and said:

"I see, now that the Cao army has retreated, it will not be chased in a short time, you can take a good rest, our army still has to attack and discern, so I will leave first."

Seeing that Xu Shu was sure, Ma Chao hesitated:

"Mr. Xu, there is a reluctant request below, our army broke through in a hurry, and now the grain and grass are exhausted, I wonder if I can borrow some grain and grass first?"

Xu Shu looked at Ma Chao and nodded:

"You can't do it."

Immediately, Ma Chao asked again:

"I don't know where Liu Jingzhou is now?"

Xu Shu said calmly:

"Liu Jingzhou led the troops to attack Hanzhong, and we led the troops to attack Wudu, if General Ma wants to see Liu Jingzhou, he will go to Hanzhong."

Only then did Ma Chao understand, and arched his hand and said:

"Then there will be work, since Liu Jingzhou is not here now, I will send a letter of resignation to the next, and when the army is resting, I will help Mr. take Wudu first, and then it is not too late to go to Hanzhong."

Although Xu Shu has not spoken out, he has laid the foundation very well, although he did not ask for anything, Ma Chao took the initiative to ask for help, of course Xu Shu would not refuse, and said with a smile:

"The Xiliang army is the elite of the world, if General Ma helps, it will be easy for us to take Wudu."

In Xu Shu's estimation.

Although at this moment, Cao Cao sent troops and horses to chase and kill the Xiliang army.

But his attention must have been on Hanzhong.

After all, the place where Liu Qi's main attack was Hanzhong was made.

And with their strength and the Xiliang Army, it is not a problem to take the martial arts, and it can be said that they are very sure.

The two discussed it, and Xu Shu asked people to transfer grain and grass.

Let Xiliang Army rest first.

As for attacking the next division, there is no need to rush it.

Ma Chao was relieved.

After the break, Ma Teng also breathed a sigh of vitality.

said to Ma Chao:

"Xu Shu is Liu Bei's strategist, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other generals are even more enemies, and now they are all under Liu Qi's command, this is like a tiger with wings, maybe this is the general trend of the world!"
