Chapter 289 Cao's army was defeated

"Kill and kill ~~"

Amid the shouts of landslides, nearly 20,000 Liang troops were crushing towards Cao's army like a sea of ​​storms.

Cao's army's main formation.

The fierce general of Taishui, Zangba, rode his horse to Cao Cao and said sternly: "It's urgent. The lord can go first with the two military advisors. The last general leads the elite troops of the headquarters to cut off the rear!"

Cao Cao knew that today's defeat was inevitable. The most important issue to consider now is how to minimize the loss. He did not refuse the request of Zangba to fight. He just ordered: "General Zangba, you are two thousand elite soldiers with you. No matter what, you must block the Liangzhou army for half an hour!"

"Abide by the order!" Zangba clasped his fists, rode his horse back, and shouted loudly, "The men of Taishan County, come with me!"

"Aoah~~"

Two thousand elite soldiers from Mount Tai were barely cheered up and followed Zangba like shadows, and greeted the Liang army that was surging in. Guo Jia quickly reminded behind Zangba: "General Zangba, you can set up a Yuli Formation to defend the death, and you must not change the front arrow formation to attack~~"

The Tibetan barbarian suddenly turned around from the horse's back, glanced deeply at Guo Jia, and said in a calm voice: "Don't worry, military advisor, I will pay attention to it!"

After saying that, the Tibetan barbarian raised his long sword in his hand and squirted into the air, shouting again: "Change the Yuli Formation~~ and fight to the death without retreating!"

"Fight to death and never retreat!"

"Fight to death and never retreat!"

"Fight to death and never retreat!"

Two thousand elite soldiers of Mount Tai responded with three calls, quickly changing the Yuli formation, and taking a stand to defend the dead.

Cao Cao rushed to turn around and said to Yu Jin: "General Yu Jin led three thousand long archers to attack and advance, and the heavy armored infantry protected the two wings. He must break the blockade of the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry before the Liang army defeated the Taishan Army!"

"As for your order!" Yu Jin agreed, rode his horse and flirted with his gun and shouted loudly, "Arrowman, come with me!"

Almost as Cao Cao ordered the withdrawal of his troops, the Cao army camp in the rear was also opened. Cheng Yu, who was left behind, and Cao Ang led two thousand soldiers to rush out of the gate to pick up Cao Cao back to the camp. As a result, Xu Chu's three thousand cavalry immediately fell into an unfavorable situation of being attacked from both sides.

But when Cao Cao, who was leading his army to retreat, saw him, he was not happy and said angrily: "What's going on with Zhongde? Why did he abandon the camp?"

Guo Jia whispered: "I'm afraid that this is my son Ang Xinmian's lord, Zhongde can't stop it."

"Zi Xiu?" Cao Cao said anxiously and angry, "Zhu Zi! I won't succeed, but I will be able to make trouble!!!"

Liang Army rear formation.

"Lord, Cao Aman is going to fight our army to the death!" Jia Xu's face changed and he said to Ma Yue, "He actually let the heavy armored infantry protect the two wings, directly use the spearmen as the vanguard and the archers as the backbone! If General Xu Chu's cavalry launched an assault without hesitation, the Cao army's spearmen and archers would probably be destroyed!"

"But Xu Chu's cavalry will be left!" Ma Yue's eyes were gloomy and said in a deep voice, "Now our army has the advantage, there is no need to fight against Cao's army!"

"Lord!" Jia Xu suddenly looked happy and said loudly, "The Cao army who stayed in the camp seems to have come out of the camp to pick him up!"

"Oh? Hahaha, as powerful as Cao Cao, he will inevitably make mistakes in his busy schedule. This is a rare opportunity!" Ma Yue made a quick decision and turned around and shouted to the messenger behind him, "Transfer the Cao army who was out of the camp, and then return to the Ge to capture the Cao army camp. This time, this general wants Cao Aman to die without a burial place!"

"Abide by the order!"

The messenger agreed and galloped away.

Ma Yue's military order was issued quickly through flag words. Xu Chu's three thousand cavalry heard the news and moved away from the front. When the Cao army who came out of the camp to pick him up was crowded with the retreating Cao army, he suddenly returned and rushed back and swept over before the Cao army returned to the camp, attacking and occupying the Cao army camp in one fell swoop.

In the chaos of the army.

Cao Ang rode his horse to meet Cao Cao and shouted loudly: "Father!"

"Sir!" Cao Cao was furious and cursed, "Who asked you to come out of the camp to pick you up, huh?"

"Uh~~" Cao Ang was suffocated when he heard this, and lowered his head and replied, "I saw that our army was in danger, and I was afraid that my father would make a mistake, so I led the army to come and respond. Is it wrong to do this?"

"Bastard!" Cao Cao said more and more angry, "It doesn't matter if you contact me, but you lost the camp. Our army lost the place where we stand. How can we resist the wolf-like and tired Liang army in this vast wilderness!?"

Guo Jia looked back and saw that the two thousand elite soldiers of Mount Tai from the Tibetan Ba ​​were already shaking under the tide of the Liang army, and could collapse at any time. What was particularly hopeless was that the butcher Ma did not blindly attack the Taishan bandits of Mount Tai, but sent two elite soldiers to encircle them from the south and north wings. If they did not break through in time, these two elite soldiers could jointly attack the Liangzhou cavalry that occupied the Cao army's camp and completely surrounded the Cao army. By then, the Cao army would really be unable to fly!

This is the benefit of the Liang army's large army. If the Cao army leaves an army to intercept, the Liang army can leave an army to deal with it accordingly, and the rest of the army will bypass the blocking army and continue to pursue it! In the absence of favorable terrain, it is impossible for a small army to intercept a large group of enemy troops.

No matter how Cao's army divided its troops to resist, the Liang army had enough troops to pursue them!

In the end, the first thing that could not hold on was Cao Cao, not the butcher of horses.

"Lord, the situation has taken a sharp turn. Now it is impossible to get out of here!" Guo Jia said anxiously, "At present, I can only break through separately. How much can I do? However, the lord is the commander of the three armies and the prime minister of the country. There is no need to make any mistakes. You can exchange clothes and clothes with me just in case."

"Not appropriate!" Yu Jin said anxiously, "Mr. Guo Jia is a weak scholar. His body shape and appearance are too different from his lord. The Liang army's pursuit soldiers may not be fooled!"

Guo Jia said anxiously: "There is no time, just do it!"

"Father!" the young Cao Ang suddenly said excitedly, "The child is willing to sacrifice his merits and lead the Liang army to pursue his father!"

Guo Jia's expression moved when he heard this. He looked at Cao Ang and Cao Cao. He found that although the two were apart in age, they were still quite similar in their bodies. Cao Ang came to pretend to be Cao Cao. As long as he did some proper cover, it would be really not difficult to deceive the Liang army's pursuers.

Cao Cao was still hesitating, but Guo Jia ordered his personal soldiers to change clothes without saying a word.

The Cao family and his son had just changed their clothes, and the Liang army chased the army and arrived. Cao Ang bowed to Cao Cao uprightly on the back of the horse and said solemnly: "Take care, father, the child is gone."

After saying that, Cao Ang rode his horse and ran around the north side of the camp. The ceremonial guards and cavalry who were following Cao Cao also followed Cao Ang in chaos. After Cao Ang ran dozens of steps, Cao Cao sighed lonelyly and fled to the south side of the village under the escort of Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, and Xun Youjin.

In order to lead the Liang army to pursue troops, Yu Jin ordered dozens of Cao army generals to lead hundreds of soldiers to break through the siege.

The Cao army's separate breakthrough immediately triggered a chain reaction. The Liang army pursuers who were detouring from both wings hurriedly divided their troops to pursue them. After attacking the camp, Xu Chu also sent a small group of cavalry to intercept them. Suddenly, the entire battlefield was in chaos. The Liang army and the Cao army had no formation anymore. The sequence was full of interlaced figures everywhere and fighting everywhere.

Liang Army rear formation.

"It's messy, it's all messy!" Jia Xu said, "Our army and Cao army have been twisted together!"

"Um~~"

Ma Yue looked up at the sky with some concern and found that the setting sun had already set against the hills. Before he knew it, the battle had been fighting for a whole day! In another moment, the sky would turn dark. Once the sky was dark, it would not be so easy to catch Cao Cao from the chaotic army.

At this time, all the messengers around Ma Yue had been sent out. In fact, even if there were messengers, Ma Yue's military order could not be effectively conveyed, because the entire battlefield was already in chaos and no one could tell who was. Liang and Cao's soldiers were fighting based on instinct.

Ma Yue suddenly turned around and said quickly: "Where is Dian Wei?"

Dian Wei rushed forward and shouted, "I will be here!"

Ma Yue sternly said: "Leading three hundred iron guards to attack the formation, you must hold Cao Cao, you must see someone in your life and see the corpse in your life!"

Dian Wei hesitated: "But the lord's safety..."

Ma Yue said coldly: "Do you think the Cao army can still pose a threat to the safety of this general? Or do you think that the general can't even deal with the defeated soldiers of the Cao army? Don't worry, the general and the military advisor are waiting here, and the defeated soldiers of the Cao army will definitely not be able to rush here."

"Abide by the order!"

Dian Wei agreed and led the army to go, but Dian Wei still left a hundred iron guards to protect Ma Yue's safety.

When Dian Wei led 200 iron guards to catch up with "Cao Cao", Cao Cao was rushing left and right in the Liang army formation under the escort of hundreds of personal guards. When he was about to break through the siege, Dian Wei's two hundred iron guards arrived!

"It's Cao Cao who wears the red robe!"

"It's Cao Cao who wears the red robe!"

"It's Cao Cao who wears the red robe!"

"Capture Cao Cao alive!"

"Capture Cao Cao alive!"

"Capture Cao Cao alive!"

The Liangzhou Army's shouts were rising and falling. In the face of the great temptation of merit, all the Liang army soldiers fought bravely and fought desperately, wanting to be lucky people to capture or kill Cao Cao alive! The Liang army rules that those who kill the enemy generals are generals! Reward thousands of acres of land, three houses, ten wives and concubines, and thousands of slaves!

As for what kind of rewards you can get when you kill Cao Cao, there is no clear regulation in the military rules, but what is certain is that the rewards you can kill Cao Cao are only much higher than those who kill enemy generals! When you think of you being able to obtain thousands of hectares of fertile land, three large mansions, more than ten beautiful wives and concubines, and thousands of slaves, these big-headed soldiers' eyes turned green.

"Does go, let me dodge!"

Dian Wei rode his horse forward quickly, and the heavy iron halberd in his hand danced up and down. The Cao army standing in front of him fell down one after another. Even the most powerful personal guard around Cao Cao could not stop him for a moment. Suddenly, Dian Wei had already rode his horse to the front of "Cao Cao". Cao Cao looked up in shock and saw a cavalry coming, as if he was coming at lightning. Before he could even make a scream, the two heavy iron halberds had already arrived with the dark light of death.

"puff!"

Blood splattered, and human heads were thrown away.

Dian Wei Ce stepped forward, gently lifted Cao Cao's head with the tip of his halberd, and said with a long sigh: "Cao Cao's head is here, howl~~"

"Cao Cao is the first to teach him~~"

"Cao Cao is the first to teach him~~"

"Cao Cao is the first to teach him~~"

In an instant, cheers like overwhelmingly resounded throughout the battlefield. The morale of the Liang army increased, but the morale of the Cao army became even lower. As one went up and down, the resistance of the remaining soldiers of the Cao army quickly began to disappear and disintegrate. When the sky turned completely dark, the noisy battlefield gradually returned to peace.

"Win!"

In the darkness, I don’t know who shouted first. In an instant, the cheers of the Liang army soldiers were like waves in the long river, resounding through the sky. Amid the cheers of the soldiers of the three armies, Ma Yue and Jia Xu rode his horse slowly forward, but saw corpses everywhere on the battlefield, broken halberds were like forests, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the people in the middle were about to vomit.

War, this is war!

Either you die or I die, there will never be a third possibility!

"Lord, Cao Cao's head is here!"

Dian Weice immediately stepped forward and handed the bloody head in front of Ma Yue. Ma Yue couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it. Jia Xu even said in disbelief: "Why doesn't Cao Cao have a beard? This is not Cao Cao!"

"Ah, it's not Cao Cao?" Dian Wei said in surprise, "Grandma, I actually let this old guy Cao Cao cheat him!"

"Please forgive me for your sins, and I will chase you again!"

After Dian Wei said that, he wanted to lead the army to chase him.

"Forget it, there's no need." Ma Yue waved his hand to stop Dian Wei and said calmly, "It's dark and it's too late to chase him. Let's wait for General Ju Tu to come back."
