The cavalry came and went like the wind, and they did not need to, and did not dare to confront the commander of the camp, so they should retreat after setting fire to the camp, burning some of the baggage, and disturbing the camp, causing great confusion in the morale of the army.

When retreating, the cavalry will follow the formation, but will not maintain a formation, and the different physical strength of the horses will naturally pull the distance away.

They run very fast, but it is not easy to assemble in formation, which is due to the characteristics of cavalry.

Zhang Liao seized this opportunity.

First the fast pace, then the fast run, the speed slowly increased, but the formation remained dense and never scattered for a moment.

When his cavalry rushed down from the hillside like the wings of geese, Cao Chun and his own soldiers had already run nearly half a mile away! By the time they turned their horses' heads around to see what had happened, the men had already cut off the horses!

Those condescending war horses that have reached the peak of speed and strength are like dark clouds, and when the Yanzhou cavalry wants to pull out their weapons to fight, the enemy has already arrived in front of them!

With the power of destroying the withering and decaying, the cold horse lance fiercely plunged into the middle of these scattered cavalry, raising up puffs of blood mist one after another!

Cao Chun, who had just turned the horse's head and was coming towards the rear team, sank in an instant.

His horse had been running in the camp all night, and his physical strength was naturally no match for these combined state troops, and the scattered front was cut off and routed by the enemy in an instant, and then the scene he had seen in Lu Lian's camp last night would soon reappear on his body.

It was a plain, a field of wheat had been harvested to be exact, and among the barren ravines, some were charged, some were roaring, some were trying to flee with all their might, some were thrown off by their horses and broke their necks, some were rolling and screaming in the wasteland, and some were trampled on their chests by horses' hooves.

The charging cavalry turned their horses' heads, and did not immediately entangle themselves with a frustration, but adjusted their pace in unison, still brisk, then brisk, and slowly accelerated, until once again they harvested the rout, which had begun to scatter and could not fight together.

The cavalry can always escape, and Cao Chun can calmly withdraw with the two hundred cavalry that were divided.

But except for Yuan Benchu, who had a big family, no one could be indifferent to the destruction of four or five hundred cavalry - neither could Cao Cao!

The sun rose a little more, and the red and black "Zhang" flags held by the Bingzhou cavalry were very vivid.

Banner after banner separated Cao Chun from his soldiers, and slowly separated him from the final victory of this war.

- Cao Chun glanced back at the knight beside him, turned his head again, took the horse lance in his hand, clamped the horse's belly, and rushed towards the young general riding a black horse under the banner!

Two cavalry teams fought more than a dozen miles away.

It seems that General Zhang's side has the advantage.

It is indeed General Zhang's side that has the advantage.

General Zhang had already scattered them.

Cao Chun was entangled with General Zhang again.

General Zhang......

"Okay," Xu Shu glanced at the scouts who frequently came to report the news, "Has General Zhang ever asked for help?" ”

"No!"

"Then don't come to the general frequently and let her rest."

So a little unwillingly, the state scouts ran away.

"I'm fine," she said, "if it weren't for the fact that I'm not good at horse fighting, I'd also want to help Wen Yuan." ”

"General Wenyuan's riding skills are excellent, the general doesn't have to worry," Xu Shu repeated after looking at her face, "The general hasn't slept all night, he should take a rest." ”

Tai Shici went to count the number of people and adjust the allocation of soldiers and horses, Xu Shu had to take a look at the loss of baggage, Zhang Liao had not finished the battle.

Everyone is busy, but she is the only one who is more idle. After all, she is the boss, as long as she wants, she can go back to make up for sleep, and she doesn't have to deal with the mundane affairs of the army.

She thought for a moment, and was about to go back to her feet, and when she went back to the back tent to rest a little, someone ran in again.

"General! The scout brought back the Qingzhou messenger——! ”

Tian Yu stood at the head of the city, staring at this once fertile field.

In spring and summer, it is lush and green, like the soft hair on a child's head.

In autumn and winter the peasants still do not abandon it, but

It is now obscured by the tide of Jizhou troops, and obscured by the overwhelming banners.

And between those flags and soldiers, the golden cymbals and war drums approached again and again.

Will Kong Beihai fall or not?

Those Jizhou people shouted and cursed, threatening that if they surrendered, the eldest prince would mercifully spare the people of Beihai.

- Even if they are obsessed, the eldest prince is still merciful, he is not willing to use cloud chariots and trebuchets to treat these poor people who were abandoned by Liu Bei and Lu Lian, he is willing to find a way to help them come to their senses!

Some Jizhou people pulled away the catapult, tied something to it, and smashed it against the city!

It wasn't a stone, so it was much lighter and farther than a boulder.

…… But that's scarier than stones.

"See what happened to that madman?" There is a bias general who came out of the battle and shouted from afar under the city, "If you are still obsessed, the city will be broken when you are young, and you will also have this fate!" ”

The soldiers in the city were stunned, but the shouts and scolding of the people of Jizhou swept over like mountains and seas!

"Liu Bei is dead! Lu Lian is also dead! They can't come back! ”

Lu Xuanyu held the urgent letter in his hand and stood for a long time, until the Bingzhou scout ran over again.

"General Zhang broke Cao Chun! The first two hundred! And ......"

She was still standing there in a trance.

That's your home. 】

"That's my home. 】

[You Heng died in battle, the drama city was besieged, it is indeed urgent, and you are already here, not far from Qingzhou,] Black Blade asked, [Then tell me, which one do you choose?] 】

Xiapi or Qingzhou, which one does she want to save?

She thought about it for a moment, and then realized that it was not a question that should be chosen.

There was her lord, her comrades who fought side by side, and nearly 100,000 people, who were hungry, day after day, enduring the pain of fear and hunger, and longing for her reinforcements;

Qingzhou has her homeland, her land, Tian Yu and Ah Bai, and the relatives and homes of her soldiers.

She didn't know what kind of mood You Heng was in to die in that dim sunset earthen city—she couldn't think about it.

[I can't choose. 】

[You have to choose,] Black Blade's attitude is calm, but resolute, [And, it's now-are you going to Qingzhou?] 】

She closed her eyes.

The flood of pain and remorse seemed to drown her for a moment, but in this turbulent and dark desperate situation, she seemed to split two people again.

It is only more than 100 miles away from Xiapi.

Liu Bei is not only her lord, but also the lord recognized by the Xuzhou family, so Cao Cao insisted that he must break through Xiapi, and must kill or capture Liu Bei in order to completely collapse the entire Xuzhou.

…… Doesn't she remember her brother Chen Deng's March period?

As the commander of this war, how can she choose to end this war as soon as possible?

[I won't go to Qingzhou. 】

When she made this decision, the pain and remorse seemed to disappear in an instant.

In its place was an unfamiliar force that spread from the depths of her soul.

Cold, powerful, with the power to oppress sentient beings, up to the fingertips!

[Congratulations,] Black Blade's voice didn't seem to be mixed with the slightest ridicule and banter, but pure joy, [You've upgraded!] 】

- You have abandoned your homeland, and you have become stronger because of it!

- Will you regret it, will you be disappointed, will you feel that if you had thrown away these things earlier, if you had abandoned these things that were not important, you could have been stronger?

Such shrill voices rang in her head until the sound of the Black Blade drowned them out.

[Ah, since you are truly invincible in this world,] the joy in that voice has completely faded, replaced by an unprecedented chill, [Then we can talk openly and honestly.] 】

Chapter 279

This artificial river channel from the upper reaches of Surabaya to Xiapi has been built, stretching for more than ten miles, and it is indeed not an easy project.

But compared to digging the river, the toil of these days is nothing at all.

Once the embankment is dug and Surabaya is brought under the city of Xiapi, tens of thousands of Yanzhou troops will also fall into the quagmire, so the troops and horses must be transferred in advance.

But if the soldiers and horses are transferred, Liu Bei may lead his relatives to leave Xiapi at any time - this person is from an old revolutionary background, and his ability to escape is indeed incomparable to ordinary people.

Therefore, Cao Cao made a series of plans in detail, such as slowly dividing the troops and leaving, but the fire pits in the camp had to add a few more than before.

When the sun set in the west and the Xiapi defenders climbed the tower, they saw naturally one after another smoke from the cooking, and they couldn't imagine that those soldiers were slowly withdrawing.

He wanted to surround Xiapi with a flood, and then find a suitable place to fight this decisive battle with Lu Lian.

Cao Cao rode on a majestic horse that was not mixed with half of the variegated colors, surrounded by dozens of horsemen, each of whom looked like brave and fierce horsemen, carefully guarding him in the middle.

So despite his flaming fox fur and a very kind smile on his face, there was no more majestic manager than him.

"Wait a few more days, and Surabaya will fall......" someone muttered quietly behind him.

"Don't think about those lazy things, dig it now, not only in Xiapi, but even ......in the direction of Xiaopei for dozens of miles depending on the terrain."

If he waited a few more days, when the weather turned cooler and the autumn water gradually dried up, he could only flood the ten miles below Picheng, and he could calmly arrange his soldiers and horses to slowly evacuate this Zeguo.

Cao Cao had two ideas in his heart, and was about to turn his head and chat with his advisers with a smile when suddenly a few horsemen were coming here in the distance.

"My lord! Yanzhou has a letter to! ”

The general, who sat firmly on his horse, glanced at the messenger intently.

When he jumped off his horse, a drop of blood rolled into the dust.

His kudzu trousers were worn out and stained with blood, so they were nothing compared to his dusty face.

Cao Cao condescendingly stretched out his hand and took the letter.

——The letter was written by Xiahoudun, who guarded Yanzhou, and the content was very brief, very clear, and very urgent: Dong Cheng and Zhang Xiu, two Xiliang people, joined forces to raise troops and come to Yanzhou!

He read the letter carefully, took the silk in his hand, and quietly looked at the messenger a few more times.

"The letter was delivered late," Cao Cao said calmly, "pull it down, cut it." ”
