Chapter 769: The enemy's cavalry is coming, so let's retreat for the time being

"Hmph, the Han army really dares to underestimate me."

Cao Cao laughed angrily, even though he personally led the army out of the city.

Under the persecution of the form, Liu Bei also led the troops out of the city and fought with Cao Cao.

Although Cao Cao has the blessing of 30,000 elites, Liu Bei also has 60,000 or 70,000 people.

After the two sides fought, Cao's army was defeated and retreated.

Cao Cao's face was a little solemn, and this battle was a bit tricky.

"You lead the foot soldiers to drag the Han army, and by the way, lead the crossbowmen to cover." Cao Cao commanded.

After Xiahoudun received the order, he immediately organized foot soldiers to block Liu Bei's attack.

Xiahoudun was a veteran after all, and under the command of Cao Cao, he could barely hold Liu Bei back, but the number of casualties was very huge.

Cao Hong and Xu Shu led archers and crossbowmen to shoot Liu Bei's army to help Xiahoudun and others reduce pressure.

Seeing this, Liu Bei secretly cursed in his heart and sly.

Therefore, he immediately changed his tactics, ordered the army to stop the attack, and then let the army adopt a strategy of slow advance.

Xiahoudun was relieved to see Liu Bei stop attacking, but Cao Hong was a little depressed, and he wanted to get more credit.

However, Cao Hong also knows that he needs to preserve his strength now.

Cao Cao also found that Liu Bei suddenly changed his tactics, and his face was slightly gloomy: "It seems that this Liu Bei is really a treacherous person, and he actually thought of delaying time." ”

"My lord, what should we do?" Dian Wei asked.

Cao Cao took a deep breath: "Continue to pursue, you must take Liu Beijun for me, otherwise we really have no hope of taking Nanyang County." ”

Hearing this, Dian Wei did not speak again, and began to lead his troops to charge.

Liu Bei saw Cao Jun attacking fiercely, and his face was gloomy: "Ziyi, after you break off with your foot soldiers, the rest of the soldiers will rush with me!" ”

"No!" Guan Yu answered and immediately led five hundred cavalry to break off.

As soon as the Cao cavalry charged, they were intercepted by Guan Yu's cavalry.

However, Guan Yu did not fall in love with the battle, and left quickly with his own cavalry.

Although Guan Yu's behavior was strange, it was also in line with the art of war, so Dian Wei did not care about Guan Yu's five hundred cavalry for the time being.

He went on the offensive with a large army.

Guan Yu lured Cao's army in front, making their attack even more difficult.

However, this stalemate did not last long, and was destroyed by Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan led the trapped camp to Guan Yu's side, and cooperated with Xiahou Yuan's infantry to scatter Guan Yu's five hundred cavalry.

In the end, there was only Guan Yu and I left on the battlefield.

Guan Yu showed a bitter expression on his face, but he didn't expect that he would die at Xiahou Yuan's hands in the end.

And this scene fell into the eyes of Cao Cao in the distance, and he immediately burst into laughter, and he shouted: "General Xiahou Yuan is brave, wait for a certain person to charge personally!" ”

After speaking, Cao manipulated the horse and rushed out.

Although Guan Yu is very confident in his martial arts, he has seen the elite camp under Cao Cao, and he is definitely not weak.

And he is now weak, and it is almost impossible to stop Cao Cao's army.

Unless he uses stratagems, such as attacking with fire.

It's a pity that his current situation can be described as a desperate situation, and it is impossible to burn Cao Cao's army with fire.

So between the electric light and flint, Guan Yu also fell into deep thinking.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he muttered, "Maybe I can try this trick!" ”

Guan Yu decided to give it a try, he took out a round object from his arms, put it in his hand and weighed it.

"I don't know if the smoke bombs developed by Kong Ming's military division are useful......"

The corners of Guan Yu's mouth outlined a faint smile, and he said softly: "I want to see how long you can last!" ”

Then he threw the smoke bomb in his hand in all directions.

"Bang!"

The smoke bomb exploded the moment it landed, and thick smoke billowed out, enveloping the entire battlefield in an instant.

"Ahem!"

The smoke was thick, causing many soldiers to choke.

"Bastard, put out the fire!"

Cao Cao roared angrily, he felt that this thick fog contained poison.

The smoke was thick, and the Cao soldiers had limited vision, and there was no way to extinguish the fire.

"Kill!"

At this time, Liu Bei's army seized the opportunity to rush forward and launched a massacre.

In just a few moments, the soldiers of the Cao army suffered numerous casualties, and even Cao Cao was also injured.

"Lord!" Dian Wei hurriedly supported Cao Cao and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”

Cao Cao shook his head: "It's okay, but Guan Yu, that despicable villain, actually used such a means." ”

Cao Cao couldn't wait to eat Guan Yu alive.

"Don't worry, the last general has already sent soldiers to extinguish the fire, and the situation will be stabilized soon." Dian Wei said.

"Well, you can't blame anyone else for this matter, only blame me for being too greedy, and I actually want to solve Liu Beijun at one time." Cao Cao sighed: "If I can fight steadily and slowly eat, I will win today." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, victory belongs to you after all!" Dian Wei comforted.

"Hmm."

Cao Cao nodded, and then ordered: "Pass the order and prepare to retreat." ”

"Slow down!"

Just then, a lieutenant ran over and hurriedly shouted.

"What?" Cao Cao looked at the lieutenant suspiciously.

"Lord Qi, our grain and grass have been burned!" The lieutenant had a complicated expression.

"What? Grain and grass burned? ”

Cao Cao's eyes widened, grain and grass were very critical to him, and this was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and roared: "Liu Bei, you deceive people too much, I swear not to stand with you!" ”

"Haha, what did I hear? You actually said that you want to stand up to me, haha......"

At this time, Liu Bei slowly walked out of the smoke with 30,000 iron horses.

At this time, Cao Cao, Dian Wei and others were all disgraced.

After all, Guan Yu's plan is too powerful.

"Liu Xuande, you dare to plot my grain and grass, I will kill you!" Cao Cao roared angrily and went straight to Liu Bei.

He was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Liu Bei's side, and the spear stabbed out.

However, Liu Bei was already on guard, he pulled the white dragon horse under his crotch and dodged it.

Liu Bei snorted coldly: "Cao Mengde, let's have a showdown today, between you and me, who loses and who wins, it is not yet known!" ”

"Okay, I'll play with you!" Cao Cao snorted coldly and rushed towards Liu Bei with a spear.

Although Cao Cao had 30,000 iron horsemen, Liu Bei was not afraid in his heart.

Because he believed that after the cavalry under Guan Yu regrouped, Cao Cao would definitely not be allowed to bargain.

Sure enough, when Guan Yu took a breath and led the cavalry to rush up again, Cao Cao was in trouble.

Although the trapping camp under his command was strong, it was defeated and retreated under the impact of Guan Yu's cavalry.

"Kill!"

Guan Yu's cavalry took advantage of the situation to pursue and killed Cao's army with heavy losses.

"Lord, the enemy's cavalry is coming, let's retreat temporarily." Dian Wei admonished. (End of chapter)
