Cao Ang also did not expect that the Han army would dare to counterattack with bows and crossbows.

However, after all, he led the elite of the Cao army, and although he was caught off guard, he still quickly regained his composure, and shouted in a deep voice: "Prepare the bow and crossbow, release the arrow!" ”

Whoosh.

The bow and crossbow fired a volley, and the Han army's foot soldiers were immediately disorganized.

And at this moment, Liu Chuang suddenly pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, kill with me!" ”

Bang.

A carriage drove through the Han army's formation, knocked over several Han soldiers, and then galloped east along the avenue.

The Han soldiers boarded the carriage one after another and followed the Han chariot to Cao Jun.

"Intercept, stop them!"

The soldiers of the Cao army immediately launched a counterattack.

It's just that most of these Cao troops are infantry, and they don't have much heavy armor at all, and they are not even equipped with shields.

In the face of the mixed infantry and cavalry army led by Liu Chuang, even if they desperately resisted, they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

"Childe, you can't let them pass."

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows quickly."

Cao Ang quickly gave the order.

It's just that at this time, the Han army has already killed the front.

Cao Ang looked at Liu Chuang's back, and his eyes showed a touch of gloom.

"Do you remember that when Yuan Shao was in Yecheng, he also used such a trick to induce our army to charge?"

Xun You was stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "What does the lord mean, Liu Chuang's old tricks are repeated?" ”

"Quite possibly!"

"What should I do?"

"Hehe, now, we just need to wait for the rabbit!"

Cao Ang had a smile on his face, and said lightly: "I believe that the other party will give us a surprise." ”

Xun You was stunned, and then couldn't help but sigh, "I hope they don't disappoint me." ”

Liu Chuang led the army, and when he rushed to two or three hundred steps in front of Cao Jun's formation, he suddenly stopped his horse, raised his whip and pointed at Cao Jun and roared: "Cao Ang, get out and die!" ”

The soldiers in the Cao Jun array turned around one after another when they heard this roar.

I saw Liu Chuang riding on a horse, holding a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, his eyes were full of provocation.

"Childe, Liu Chuang is really as you expected, this time he came prepared."

Xiahou Yuan's face showed joy and reminded in a low voice.

Cao Ang gritted his teeth and said: "I know that Liu Chuang is by no means an idle person, how easy is it to defeat him?"

Childe, are we going to go on the offensive? ”

"Go on the offensive?"

Cao Ang smiled contemptuously and said, "Since Liu Chuang wants to fight, we naturally have to accompany him to the end, but now we naturally can't fall into the trap of the other party."

Pass my order, and the whole army will retreat thirty feet! ”

After hearing this, Xiahou Yuan hurriedly nodded yes.

He then gave the order to retreat, and then urged his mount to slowly retreat.

Just as Cao Ang was retreating, the Han infantry suddenly accelerated and pursued towards Cao's army.

"Liu Chuang'er, if you have the ability, you will chase me?"

Seeing this scene, a sneer hung on the corner of Cao Ang's mouth, he pulled out his sword, and rushed towards Liu Chuang with a spear.

Liu Chuang laughed when he saw Cao Ang coming, "Today, a certain family wants to see who is better!" ”

He fought hard to slap the war horse and took Cao Ang directly.

It's just that Cao Ang is not an ordinary person, and when he saw Liu Chuang coming, he immediately grabbed the reins and picked up the short blade from the saddle.

"Liu Chuang, take your life!"

The cold light of the short blade flickered, slashing towards Liu Chuang's neck.

Liu Chuang tilted his head slightly, avoiding this fatal stab, and then cut off Cao Ang's war horse leg with a knife, and the war horse neighed miserably and fell down.

Cao Ang was thrown several feet away and struggled to get up.

Seeing that Liu Chuang had already killed first, the halberd drew an arc and stabbed straight towards Cao Ang's chest and abdomen.

Cao Ang was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged, but Liu Chuang's battle halberd seemed to have spirituality, and it followed the opponent's body closely, making it impossible for him to dodge.

With a snort, Cao Ang was stabbed in the left rib, and blood gushed out.

"Tell me, where is Liu Bei?"

"Hugh. Don't! ”

Cao Ang's eyes revealed a deep hatred.

Liu Chuang smiled evilly: "Don't think? Hmph, do you really think you can stop me? ”

He grabbed his halberd and was about to cut off Cao Ang's head, when suddenly, there was a lot of smoke and dust in the distance.

Liu Chuang turned his head to look, and saw a group of people rushing over from the west.

"It's Xiahoudun."

"How could it be him?"

Cao Ang and Xun Yu exclaimed at the same time.

I saw Xiahoudun leading more than 1,000 people and horses towards Liu Chuang's side.

After he saw the battle situation in front of him, he couldn't help but be furious, "Shaft, don't be a murderer!" ”

With that, he swung his double axe and pounced on Liu Chuang.

"Let's go!"

Liu Chuang left Cao Ang and fled.

He knew in his heart that if he was tough, he would definitely be in danger.

Because of his strength, there is still a gap compared to Xiahoudun, although Xiahoudun is old, he is old and strong, and his martial arts are very exquisite.

Liu Chuang rode his horse and galloped wildly, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Cao Ang having led people away.

The corners of his mouth provoked a cruel sneer, and secretly thought: I want to see who will kill the deer in the end!

He turned his horse's head abruptly and galloped away in the direction of Xu Du.

Xiahoudun led his troops to chase and kill for a long time, and finally saw Liu Chuang drifting away.

"Uncle, this guy is so cunning, he actually abandoned his allies and fled!"

Xiahoudun's nephew Xiahou Ba said indignantly: "Did he guess that his uncle would come to the rescue?" ”

"Hey, this kind of resourcefulness, how can you hide it from me!"

In Xiahoudun's gaze, a hideous color flashed.

"Uncle, since you know that Liu Chuang is playing tricks, why don't you chase after him?"

Xiahou Ba asked puzzledly: "If Uncle continues to lead people to intercept and kill, maybe he can be kept!" ”

"If I pursue it myself, I will fall for his treachery."

Xiahoudun sneered and said, "Liu Chuang deliberately abandoned his allies and fled, he wanted to take this opportunity to confuse us.

If we pursue, he will take advantage of the situation and escape, and we will find it difficult for us to catch him.

Moreover, Liu Chuang's defeat this time may not only ambush people all the way. ”

When Xiahou Ba heard this, he immediately understood, "Uncle, do you mean that Cao Mengde has other arrangements?" ”

"Yes, the other party's deception this time, I'm afraid there is also Yuan Shao's instructions.

Although I have no grudge with him, if I can't get rid of Liu Chuang, I'm afraid it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart! ”

At the same time as Liu Chuang's defeat, Chen Gong, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai also had their own division of labor.

When Liu Chuang was defeated, Guo Jia quietly led his troops to leave, galloped north, and went straight to Hedong.

He is a famous person in Jizhou, and his prestige in Jizhou is extremely high, so there is no need to disguise it at all.

And Xi Zhicai quietly returned to Yanzhou with Dian Wei.

As for Chen Gong, he led one hundred and fifty carts, horses, grain and grass, starting from Puyang and going upriver along the Yellow River.

He was ready to copy Yuan Shao's back road and teach the other party a hard lesson.

And Xu Sheng set off from Yingchuan and attacked Yecheng according to Cao Ang's instructions.

The four ambush soldiers, each performing their duties, quietly approached Yuan Shao's camp.

The other side.

"I don't think this Liu Chuang is a fraud."
