Chapter 24: Cao Cao is defeated
They didn't expect that Liu Bei would send someone to sneak attack.
At this time, Liu Bei had already led the army to kill those Cao troops.
Although Cao Cao's subordinates are not weak, in the face of so many Shu troops, where can they resist?
In just a few moments, they suffered heavy casualties, and one by one they abandoned their armor and fled in confusion.
Seeing this, Liu Bei's subordinates immediately shouted excitedly, and then chased after those scattered Cao troops.
In a moment, they caught up with Cao Jun.
They jumped off their horses one after another, slashed at the Cao army with their weapons, and soon cut down all those Cao troops.
"The Lord is mighty!"
Seeing Liu Bei's great victory, everyone knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
Liu Bei's face was ruddy, and he hurriedly asked people to carry him to see the wounded.
Soon, Cao Cao found his personal guard.
He looked at the guard's injuries, and suddenly his seven orifices smoked.
I saw that his personal guards were cut by the sharp blade all over their bodies, and they were drenched in blood, looking very miserable.
"You bunch of garbage, get out of here, get out of here!"
Cao Cao scolded angrily.
"No!"
Everyone agreed, hurriedly packed their things, and fled.
At this time, they didn't care about any respectful etiquette, so they hurriedly picked up the weapons on the ground and fled, where did they dare to stay?
Seeing them fleeing one after another, Liu Bei was overjoyed and hurriedly beckoned everyone to chase and kill them.
......
But after chasing for a while, someone came to Liu Bei's side and reported.
"General, that Cao Cao has escaped, what should we do now?"
Liu Bei looked ahead and shook his head.
"The goal has been achieved, let's go."
……
At this time, Cao's army had evacuated to a river ten miles away, camped on the riverbank, and rested.
At this time, Cao Cao was sitting in the tent, and his face showed a tired look.
But the big war is coming, and it is not the time to rest.
He immediately gathered the people together and began to discuss what was going to happen.
When everyone heard that Liu Xuande had chased and killed him, they couldn't help but be shocked, and asked Cao Cao how to deal with it.
Cao Cao snorted coldly: "I had long expected that Liu Xuande would not give up, but I didn't expect that Liu Xuande would really dare to chase and kill." If I don't kill those bastards this time, I, Cao Cao, will not give up. ”
He paused, then glanced around, and finally fixed his gaze on Xu Chu.
"Xu Chu!"
"The subordinates are here!"
Xu Chu hurriedly hugged his fists.
"Go and inform all the departments of Lujiang to take Jiangxia directly tomorrow!"
Xu Chu nodded slightly, clenched his fists and said, "Obey!" ”
With that, he withdrew.
Cao Cao took a deep breath, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Early the next morning.
Cao Cao led the army under his command and slaughtered towards Jiangxia.
Zhou Xun took Sima Yi and watched quietly from the side, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
He knew that this battle was destined to be won by Cao Cao.
……
"Lord!"
"My lord, the enemy is coming!"
"My lord, what do we do now?"
At this time, everyone gathered in front of Sun Quan and asked.
Sun Quan took a deep breath, he looked at the mighty army in front of him, and said coldly: "Since Cao Cao has already come to attack, how can we be afraid?" Charge me! ”
With Sun Quan's order, all the soldiers under his command drew their swords, got on the warship, carried their swords, and galloped wildly.
By this time, they had come to the enemy.
When they looked at this huge army, they couldn't help but gasp, and their hearts were full of fear.
"Kill!"
Seeing this, Sun Quan shouted angrily.
Suddenly, all the soldiers under his command charged.
"Kill!"
For a while, there were bursts of fighting on the battlefield.
The soldiers on both sides fought frantically, the difference in numbers between the two sides was not large, and soon, thousands of people died under the opponent's swords, but Cao Cao's soldiers were fighting more and more bravely, and the more they fought, the more they fought.
"Kill!"
Xu Chu and Zhang Liao also carried a big knife and rushed up.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The soldiers of both sides fought together.
Cao Cao's soldiers are relatively small, but their combat effectiveness is very strong, while the soldiers under Sun Quan are numerous and well-equipped, and the battle between the two sides has entered a white-hot stage, and no one can help anyone.
This situation lasted for three or four hours, with Sun Quan's army losing nearly a thousand men, while Cao Cao's army lost less than two hundred.
At this time, both sides began to reduce the number of deaths of soldiers.
After all, the soldiers on both sides are human lives, not mustards.
Although the soldiers under Sun Quan's command were not afraid of death, after all, there were too many of them, and they couldn't hold on at all.
"Retreat!"
Sun Quan yelled.
At this time, he had already realized that if he continued to fight, he would definitely lose, so he could only retreat.
He was the first to retreat, and the rest of the soldiers followed him.
"Hahaha, Sun Quan, have you finally relented?"
Watching Sun Quan's troops retreat one after another, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh loudly.
He knew that he would definitely win next, as long as he continued to persevere, and when Sun Quan was defeated, he would win the final victory.
"Humph!"
Sun Quan snorted coldly, ignored Cao Cao, and continued to lead the army to retreat.
Cao Cao's soldiers looked at Sun Quan who was retreating, and did not stop him.
At this time, they all felt that they had won the battle.
"Pass my military order, and the army will speed up!"
Cao Cao watched Sun Quan's army retreat and gave the order to speed up.
He knew that he must take this opportunity to completely wipe out Sun Quan's army, otherwise there would be endless troubles in the future.
After hearing Cao Cao's order, the warship also sped a little faster and began to chase after Sun Quan's army.
"Lord!"
At this time, Zhang Liao on the side said to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao looked at Zhang Liao and couldn't help frowning: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it go!" ”
Zhang Liao was reprimanded by Cao Cao, but he still had a smile on his face.
"My lord, Sun Quan's strength is indeed strong, and his subordinates are also brave and good at fighting, if our army continues to fight with him, I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses. We should take the opportunity to conquer Changsha and recapture it. Zhang Liao suggested.
"Huh?"
Hearing Zhang Liao's suggestion, Cao Cao couldn't help but squint his eyes, he stared at Zhang Liao, as if he wanted to see his inner thoughts from the change in Zhang Liao's expression, but in the end he failed, and Zhang Liao still had a calm expression.
"Hmph, now that we occupy the right time and place, why don't we eliminate Dongwu in one go?"
Cao Cao snorted coldly, and then said to Zhang Liao.
"But after all, our soldiers are too few in number, if we continue to entangle with Dongwu, I am afraid that we will break our muscles and bones, and our food and grass have not yet arrived, if the food is exhausted, our soldiers will collapse, and then we will really suffer from the enemy!"
Zhang Liao continued to persuade.
