Chapter Ninety-Eight: Array Slashing Style

He and Xu Shu originally had a total of 1,500 soldiers, but they lost nearly half of them in the battle just now, and now there were less than 800 people left by their side.

Cao Zhang looked at a centurion and gave an order: "Take your people to stay and guard Mr. Yuanzhi!" The others come with me! ”

Time was pressing, he didn't give Xu Shu time to stop at all, and he had already led seven hundred soldiers like tigers descending from the mountain, waving the weapons in his hands, rushing down the dirt slope, through the ring of fire, and rushing towards the back of the defeated Li Shi troops.

Cao Zhangjun's surprise attack from behind was completely unexpected for Li's troops.

Originally, they were still following Li Shi in front of them to rush with all their might, desperately dealing with Xu Huang's troops and Duan Xuan's troops who were constantly rushing from both sides, thinking that they could break through a bloody road and escape.

Cao Zhang led people to rush up from behind, causing them to suffer from three sides, and they were even more concerned about one and the other.

The troops led by Cao Zhang were aggrieved all night, and now they finally have a chance for revenge, and they also burst out with strong combat effectiveness, they shot fiercely, often killing with one blow, and the soldiers under Li Shi fell in pieces like a big tree that had been cut down.

Li Shi was originally rushing forward with his subordinates, and the screams of his subordinates behind him were endless, making him can't help but turn back, but what he saw was that in the firelight, Cao Zhangzheng personally led his troops to launch a crazy massacre of the Xiliang army!

Lee's heart was beating rapidly, and an indescribable anger swelled up.

Cao Zhang! How dare he catch up!

At this time, Li Shi was already embarrassed, his clothes were torn, and his face was covered with blood.

He was also famous in Guanzhong for a generation, but now he was ambushed, his prestige was lost, and he was chased and killed by Cao Zhang.

Now, he is in a desperate situation, angry and full of war.

Li Shi turned around, raised the spear in his hand, and faced Cao Zhang's pursuit.

Cao Zhang saw what Li Shi meant, and approached step by step with a mocking smile, his figure tall and majestic.

He is armed with a spear and gives a sense of insurmountable power.

Li Shi saw Cao Zhang's sharp eyes and knew that he was not his opponent, but he was determined to fight.

Li Shi raised the spear in his hand, and his entire body seemed to turn into a thunderbolt.

He gritted his teeth and let out a resolute roar.

His spear pierced Cao Zhang like lightning, and Li Shi poured all his strength into it, hoping to win with a single blow.

Cao Zhang did not flinch, he held a spear, his steps were vigorous, and his eyes were full of confidence staring at Li Shi.

He knew that this was the beginning of a life-and-death struggle, a fateful moment.

Spears and spears clashed, sparks flew everywhere, and the breath of battle filled the air.

Cao Zhang's steps were nimble and swift as the wind, and Li Shi, despite his incomparably firm determination, gradually felt powerless.

His wrists began to sore, and the spear shook uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Cao Zhang showed a contemptuous smile and launched an offensive again.

His ghostly figure shuttled around Li Shi, leaving deep scars that could be seen in the bones.

Li Shi couldn't dodge, so he could only do his best to block Cao Zhang's attack.

Time passed by second, Li Shi's body was enveloped by Cao Zhang's spear, and gradually, his steps became sluggish, and his breathing became rapid, although he knew that he was in a desperate situation, Li Shi had no intention of giving up.

The battle scene became more and more intense, and the thunderous collision sound continued to sound.

Li Shi's sweat and blood were intertwined, and he was wounded all over his body, but he did not lose the courage to fight, he seized every opportunity and used all his strength to launch a counterattack against Cao Zhang.

The spear trembled in Lee's hand like a dragon soaring into the air. The fighting intent contained in the Li style burst out to the last potential.

Cao Zhang's expression became solemn, he felt the threat of Li Shi's attack, his original contempt for Li Shi was completely subverted, he knew that if he didn't do his best, he would definitely not be able to defeat this opponent who was comparable to a crazy beast.

Lee's target is Cao Zhang's throat, and he hopes to be able to kill Cao Chang with one move.

At this moment, Cao Chang showed his extraordinary reaction speed.

Cao Zhang dodged to one side, and the Li-style spear grazed his chest, but it did not hurt Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang's eyes revealed coldness and ruthlessness, and he stabbed the spear out mercilessly, stabbing Li Shi in the abdomen, and the spear stabbed into his body fiercely.

Blood gushed out instantly, and Li Shi let out a painful roar. A trace of helplessness and sadness flashed in his eyes, and he already knew his end.

Cao Zhang sneered, pulled out the spear violently, and watched Li Shi fall in a pool of blood with difficulty, losing the last trace of life breath.

Cao Zhang put away his spear, looked at Li Shi's corpse indifferently, and let out an angry roar: "The enemy general Li Shi has been killed!" ”

The soldiers around Cao Zhang let out a roar of victory together, and their shouts resounded through the heavens and the earth, quickly passing on the news of Li Shi's beheading.

Li Huan was leading his troops forward to kill, when he suddenly heard a roar in unison behind him, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

Sure enough, the defeated Xiliang army immediately rushed to report to him: "General, the young general was pursued by Cao Zhang, was defeated in the battle, and was killed by Cao Zhang!" ”

"Alas!" Li Huan let out a long sigh of chagrin, he could imagine that Li Shi must have had a hot brain and turned his head to fight with Cao Zhang, so that he would cause death.

But the current situation does not allow him to grieve and feel sorry for Li Shi, and he must hurry out with the remnants of the army to fight for the last glimmer of life.

"Everyone rush with me, we must break out!" Li Huan shouted loudly, and led his troops to quickly advance and kill.

In the case of Cao Zhang's army rushing to kill on three sides, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army were already in extreme panic, but Li Huan, as the main general, took the lead and led everyone to break through with all his strength, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, and they all followed him to fight and kill together.

Under their all-out rush, they really broke through a bloody road, and Li Huan broke through the flank of Cao Zhang's army with thousands of personal soldiers, and fled frantically in the direction of Chang'an.

Cao Zhang killed Li Shi and continued to lead his subordinates in pursuit, and soon met Xu Huang and Duan Xuan, and the three of them joined forces.

Cao Zhang knew that Li Dao still had heavy troops left in Chang'an City, and wanted to chase and kill Li Huan and take Chang'an in one go, which was almost impossible, so he ordered that there was no need to pursue, and only to carry out a crazy massacre of the Xiliang army in the camp who had no time to escape.

The shouts of killing accompanied the sky-high flames continued until daylight.

Of the 30,000 Xiliang troops led by Li Huan and Li Shi, less than 5,000 people fled back to Chang'an with Li Huan, and another few thousand chose to surrender to save their lives, and nearly 20,000 people were buried under the flanking and rushing of Cao Zhang's army.

In addition to the previous sacrifice of nearly 1,000 people by holding on to the camp and attracting enemy troops as bait, Cao Zhang's troops did not suffer many casualties in the later battles, and the casualties in the whole battle were less than 2,000.

Cao Zhang used his mind and courage to achieve a feat of winning more with less.

Xu Huang and Duan Xuan led the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Xiahou Ba and Li Jin escorted Zhong Xuan, Xiahou Shang and Xiahou Ru also returned, Xiahou Ba had already told them all about Cao Zhang's arrangements, and they didn't need to really go to see Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Seeing Cao Zhang's big victory, Zhong Xuan, Xiahouba and others were extremely excited.

Xiahou Shang and Xiahou Ru also had victorious smiles on their faces, and praised Cao Zhang's clever strategy.

Cao Zhang smiled and praised everyone's bravery, and asked Xu Huang, Duan Xuan, Zhong Xuan and others to go back to rest first, leaving the three Xiahou brothers and Xu Shu alone.

Xiahou Shang and Xiahou Ru thought that Cao Zhang wanted to ask them about their distress, but they didn't expect Cao Zhang to look at the two of them at this time, but his face sank, and he ordered loudly: "Come on, take down Xiahou Shang and Xiahou Ru who collaborated with the enemy, and launch the beheading!" ”
