The Tiger Guards were covered in armor and trained for a long time, and at this time they were waiting for work at leisure, which was in excellent condition.

Li Dian's troops were frozen because they all went down to the river, and they were stacked with negative buffs, plus the vast majority of soldiers were not wearing armor, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

Cao Jun couldn't resist it.

Because he didn't have time to make a fire, the armor of the soldiers under Li Dian was wet, and the water-stained armor was not only heavy, but also couldn't be worn in a hurry.

Seeing that the handymen in front of him fell in rows, and the way in the rear was blocked by the water, if they wanted to return to the east bank by the water again, thousands of soldiers would definitely be killed by the wind and cold.

Li Dian knew that he was in the middle of the plan, although he wanted to withdraw to Shouchun, but the reality did not allow it.

On both sides of the northwest are the surging enemies, and on the east side is the seemingly gentle but actually dangerous water, and there is only one way to retreat in the south, which is also the choice left by Lu Su for Li Dian.

After all, the Tiger Guards only had 5,000 people, and there was no way to encircle the 6,000 Cao soldiers, even if the other party was extremely weak at this time, it was almost impossible to eat them in a battle.

Both sides are mainly infantry, Li Dian will not be stupid to wait for death in place, as long as the soldiers under his command are willing to run, let alone annihilate the Liu'an Cao soldiers by the water, it is extremely difficult to leave half of them.

If Li Dian chooses to turn around and cross the river, then the Tiger Guard Army will not need to blow the dust, the icy water can swallow most of the Cao soldiers, and even if its remnants successfully cross the river, Lu Su is confident that they will catch up and be destroyed.

However, Li Dian did not panic in the chaos, he not only asked the soldiers to abandon their armor, but also ordered the whole army to retreat south.

Hui Shouchun can't go back, even if only half of the six thousand parts survive to Lu'an, it can provide some help, at least replace some of the soldiers who defend the city, and let Zhang Liao free up his hand to deal with Tai Shici.

Li Dian thought that Zhang Liao was on the defensive, because he had misjudged the previous information, and he didn't have the heart to think about it in a hurry.

At that time, the fog by the river had not subsided, and Li Dian ordered the battalions to evacuate to the south on their own while commanding the miscellaneous soldiers, and agreed that the battalions would meet again in Lu'an.

Li Dian's men fled in several groups, and while the Tiger Guards were in pursuit, the generals and cavalry of the army each selected their targets and galloped towards their respective prey.

Xu Chu gave a death order before the war, the two-legged ones can be left alone for the time being, and the four-legged ones must stay.

The Tiger Guard Army was like a mountain cracking a rock, and the fragile miscellaneous soldiers were cut down like melons and vegetables, and Li Dian had to fight and swallow bitter water.

During the retreat, Li Dian unexpectedly found that the enemy cavalry was leaving the team and walking around.

Just wondering about the enemy's intentions, the main general of the Tiger Guard Army was holding a fire cloud knife and had come a few feet away.

Li Dianmeng turned around, and was surprised to find that the person who came was Xu Chu, and he swallowed his saliva in surprise.

has been guessing who the enemy is, and the moment he really saw the answer, it made Li Dian incredible.

The Long Xiang Department will make a black hand on himself, what does he, the Lujiang Taishou, want to do?

Li Dian saw that Xu Chu came very quickly, and he had no way to avoid it, so he pointed a gun at the other party and shouted, trying to deter the opponent.

"Xu Chu, you dare to ambush me, aren't you afraid that Cao Sikong will sin Hefei?"

"Noise."

Xu Chu didn't care about the threat, and said in his heart What is Cao Cao? Lao Tzu killed his soldiers.

Still condemned? Thinking of the clansmen who were killed in Xu Village back then, Xu Chu frowned and clenched the Huoyun knife and swung it towards Li Dian.

The three of man, horse, and knife are one, and they are not affected at all.

"You"

Li Dian's eyes were wide open, and he wanted to scold the other party for not talking about martial arts, but Xu Chu's blade had already arrived in front of him, and Li Dian could only raise his knife with both hands to block it.

When there was a muffled sound.

The avalanche-like force tilted down, and Li Dian's hands with guns were numb with shock, and his body involuntarily shrank downward.

Only one move, a judgment from above.

Li Dian was horrified in his heart, his impression of Xu Chu was that he made trouble in the last fight.

I didn't expect me to be so terrifying, and I didn't dare to block the second blow after blocking the first blow.

When the two sides were about to stagger their positions by the war horses, Li Dian held a gun in one hand and pulled the reins of the horse in the other and prepared to run away, but his small movements were caught by Xu Chu Yuguang.

While Li Dian used the reins of the horse to adjust the direction, Xu Chu also controlled the horse to stop and make a backhand slash.

The Fire Cloud Knife was wrapped in rage, and a crescent moon was slashed in the air.

When the crescent moon disappeared, Li Dian's upper body suddenly left his body and fell off the horse, and Xu Chu cut it off with his shoulder strap.

Seeing that the Lord was about to be beheaded in front of him, the soldiers beside Li Dian swayed, their legs seemed to be filled with lead, and there was only fear left in their eyes.

Xu Chu's personal soldiers who came with him harvested these guts like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

Lu Su arrived at the same time as his own soldiers, and when he saw Li Dian on the ground, he couldn't help but sigh bitterly.

"General Xu's knife, how fast!"

"Is it wrong to kill the last general? Didn't you tell me to kill all the horsemen, sir? This Li Dian is also riding a horse. ”

Xu Chu scratched his cheeks and looked at Lu Su suspiciously.

"Kill it, kill it, there's nothing wrong with it."

Lu Su shook his head lightly, and then added: "If you meet General Cao Jun in the future, General Xu can capture him alive as much as possible, what if Yunqi has other arrangements?" ”

"Oh, I can save it."

Xu Chu bowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lu Su felt that people like Li Dian were not a big threat, and it was better to kill them directly than to capture them alive.

Seeing that Xu Chu's expression might be wrong, Lu Su said with relief: "It's good that Li Dian was killed, I can use his head to take Shouchun, you leave a battalion of soldiers and horses, and you will lead people to continue to chase the defeated soldiers." ”

"Huh?"

Xu Chu exclaimed: "Mr. is not with the last general? ”

Lu Su Zhengse said: "As soon as Li Dian dies, the dragons have no leader, and Zhongkang doesn't have to chase too closely, just drive the defeated soldiers to Lu'an and leave some for Tai Shici." ”

"The last general doesn't understand much," Xu Chu frowned and was puzzled.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just do what I say."

Lu Su stroked his beard and added: "It is estimated that Yunqi should also take action at this time, if Zhongkang is unclear, you can contact Yunqi for instructions." ”

"Yui." Xu Chu clenched his fists sonorously.

Lu Su didn't let Xu Chu chase after him, in addition to wanting the Tiger Guards to maintain their physical strength, he also had the intention of adding trouble to Tai Shici.

Tai Shi Ci has always been arrogant, and when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, he is afraid that he will not give in easily, and Lu Su's move is to help Long Xiang.

In fact, after experiencing the food shortage incident, Tai Shici has been much more negative about the future, and if there is no way at this time, he will not send troops to Lu'an.

Tai Shici only brought out 3,000 soldiers, and from the first day he arrived in Lu'an, he had no idea of a decisive battle with Zhang Liao, but tried to contain and wait for reinforcements as much as possible.

As time passed, Tai Shici carried less and less military rations, and the more he confronted Zhang Liao, there was no bottom.

Taishi Cibing did not attack or provoke when he arrived in Lu'an, but only built fortifications in the same place, and his strange behavior surprised Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao observed that it was not advisable to go out of the city after two days to fight, so he suspected that there was some big conspiracy in Jiangdong, so he secretly sent people to the Jiangjunling outpost to confirm, and the answer he got was that there were no reinforcements in Jiangdong.

No reinforcements, alone in the depths?

Is it too Shi Ci too idle, or is it the same as last time, a strange mistake?

Zhang Liao got the information and led his troops out of the city, Tai Shici blocked the north of Lu'an for a few days, and the grain and grass were about to run out, so he retreated to Shaobi according to the previous plan.

Lü Meng did not deliver the military rations in time, so Tai Shici had to fetch it himself.
