With just a moment of dazedness, dozens or hundreds of sharp spears had already stabbed up fiercely from these holes. Han Meng instinctively jumped up in the air and barely avoided the bad luck of the spear being penetrated. However, the personal soldiers around him did not have the good luck of him. In an instant, they were penetrated by the spear and died immediately.

"puff!"

Han Meng pointed the spear in his hand gently on the top of the wall, and he turned over from the top of the wall, but his good luck only ended here.

Before Han Meng could land, another wave of giant crossbows shot out from the wall. Two of them penetrated Han Meng's chest and abdomen, and took his body back and flew dozens of steps before falling to the ground. Long before landing, Han Meng was already dead and became a lifeless corpse.

Under the sudden attack of this giant crossbow, Cao's army was soon defeated again.

At this point, the 10,000 heavily armored infantry led by Jiang Qi and Han Meng were almost completely injured and killed, and only more than 2,000 wounded soldiers were still lying on the battlefield and wailing and struggling. However, their fate was actually already destined, and injury means death!

In the back formation of Cao's army, Xun Yu was sniffed by thunder and murmured: "The bed crossbow is actually a bed crossbow! The horse butcher actually put the bed crossbow into the cart. So that's it, so that's it! Alas..."

With a long sigh, Xun Yu's expression suddenly became extremely gray, as if he had become ten years older, and even his originally upright back seemed a little hunched.

Liang Army rear formation.

Gao Shun said, "Okay, the heavy-armored infantry of the Cao army has been destroyed. Now, the chariot formations on both sides of the east and west are crushing the middle at the same time, squeezing the remaining 20,000 Cao army light soldiers and more than 5,000 Cao army archers together, and then the archers are turned to the east and behind the west chariot formation, block the passage that Cao army forced to fill out, and drive them all into the trench!"

"Get orders!"

The personal soldiers took the order and raised a black flag again and waved it hard twice.

"Roar~~"

"Roar~~"

"Roar~~"

In an instant, neat and loud trumpets sounded in front of the two armies, and the trumpets actually suppressed the hustle and bustle of the battlefield.

The Cao army soldiers, who were at a loss, suddenly found that the walls that were originally stationary on both sides were slowly crushing forward. The unlucky Cao army accidentally stepped on the pit and fell to the ground. Unfortunately, before he could get up and form a wall, the chariot array that was connected to form a wall was rolling up, and without stopping to crush his calves, thighs, hips, and waist.

The poor Cao army screamed at the top of their lungs, trying desperately to struggle to escape, but in the end... they were ruthlessly swallowed by the car formation and crushed into a pool of meat paste.

The two chariot arrays in the east and west were constantly crushing forward. The Cao army and archers were crowded together by the Cao army and the archers sandwiched in the middle. They were in panic all day long. The storm of crazy light soldiers howled and launched a tragic attack on the rolling wall of the chariot. However, this was just a mantis arm to rush the chariot array, which was not enough to stop the chariot array from advancing.

How could these scattered soldiers with heavy armor be able to overcome the chariot formation that could not even be defeated by heavy soldiers?

Under the multiple blows of crossbows, guns, and bows, the will of the remaining soldiers of the Cao army was finally destroyed. If it were not the Liang army, I was afraid that these Jizhou surrendered troops would have kneeled down and surrendered long ago! However, the heaven was cruel, and the Liangzhou army was against them. The cruel and bloodthirsty image of the Liangzhou army was deeply rooted in the hearts of all the soldiers concerned. Dong Zhuo was cruel, the horse butcher was cruel, and the Xiliang soldiers under the two were also cruel. If they fell into their hands, they would be better than death!

Since you can't beat it and cannot surrender, you can only escape!

In the chaos of war, I don’t know who shouted: “Brothers, run, run back to Xuchang City first.”

In an instant, the remaining soldiers of Cao's army were in an uproar and rushed back. The wounded soldiers with unstraight legs were constantly overturned to the ground. Before they could get up, countless feet stepped on their backs coldly. In the numbness and helpless despair, these wounded soldiers trampled under their feet finally died tragically in struggle.

They did not fall under the swords of Liangzhou soldiers, but died at the feet of their own people.

Cao's army was defeated and the only ones who were able to escape back to Xuchang City were less than two thousand remaining soldiers. In fact, the fate of these two thousand remaining soldiers was already destined, and the only thing waiting for them was death!

Fifty miles south of Xuchang City, on the vast earth.

"Well."

Cao Cao gently shouted at the war horse and rode his horse back. He saw that the wilderness behind him was vast, and the noisy battlefield and the majestic outline of Xuchang City had already disappeared from the end of his vision.

Looking around, only Cao Xiu led dozens of tiger and leopard cavalry to follow him. The generals stopped Zhang Liao and Tibetan domineering, and only Liu Ye and Jia Kui were the counselors. A strong sadness suddenly hit Cao Cao's heart. This peerless hero looked up to the sky. After holding it in for a long time, he suddenly laughed. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on Cao Cao's face, outlining his expression particularly desolate.

The north wind whimpered, intertwined with Cao Cao's long laughter, gradually spreading farther and farther away.

"Lord." Liu Yeqie stepped forward and asked dejectedly, "Xuchang has been lost. The subsequent army is surrounded by heavy siege and there is a lot of danger. What should we do now?"

"Oh." Cao Cao sighed softly and said sadly, "I don't know if Yen Yi has broken through the siege, Gongda, is Zhongde's life or death? Can Ma Butcher treat Wen Ruo kindly?"

"Sigh and clear~~"

As Cao Cao finished speaking, a long horse neigh suddenly sounded in the desolate wilderness in the north.

Cao Xiu's face changed and he urgently ordered dozens of cavalry and tigers and leopards to form a formation to meet the enemy. The only two remaining generals under Cao Cao's tent, Zhang Liao also rode forward to protect Cao Cao's left and right. Suddenly, dozens of cavalry appeared in the northern wilderness, rushing towards this side like lightning.

Cao Xiu's eyes were sharp-eyed and suddenly shouted in extreme surprise: "Lord, it's General Zhang He! And Mr. Cheng Yu!"

"Oh?" Cao Cao said happily when he heard this, "Yun Yi, Zhongde returned, and he was very relieved."

While he was talking, Zhang He had already slapped his horse like a whirlwind. Suddenly, he pulled the horse back and stood up. He kicked his front hooves in the air and barely stopped the rush. Then Zhang He turned over and fell down and knelt down, apologized to Cao Cao, "I will only save Mr. Cheng Yu, please punish him."

Cao Cao quickly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and helped Zhang He up, and said sincerely: "What is the general's crime? Please get up quickly."

"Lord." Zhang He stood up with the flow and said sadly, "It was a little late to find Mr. Cheng Yu in the chaos army. Mr. Xun You again. Mr. Xun You...he has already died in the chaos army."

"Oh." Cao Cao sighed, remembering Xun You's eyes were gloomy for many years, but when he saw that all the generals around him were dejected, he couldn't help but shouted, "Although Gongda is a literati, he always has the heart to worry about the country and the people, and often has the idea of ​​reviving the Han Dynasty. Now he is able to die in the battlefield. It is a great blessing for his life. You don't have to be sad. You should inherit Gongda and all the unfulfilled ambitions of all the fallen soldiers, and swear to revival the Han Dynasty to the death. Even if you lose a hundred battles, you will never be discouraged."

"Come on." Cao Cao greeted everyone, "We should swear together to express our hearts and minds."

Outside Xuchang City.

The boiling battlefield finally fell silent, and the three integrated car walls had disintegrated. Gao Shun came to the edge of the battlefield accompanied by Li Su. Looking at the battlefield, the corpses of the soldiers killed in Cao's army were everywhere. Many soldiers were seriously injured and did not die. They were making waves of moans, which highlighted the cruelty and ruthlessness of the war.

"General!"

"General!"

"General!"

Amid the chaotic footsteps, Hu Chier, Zhang Wei, Yang Ren, and Yang Ang had already come behind Gao Shun. Hu Chier was still wrapped in bandages on his right chest, and a piece of red blood smeared through the thick cloth belt. It can be seen that Hu Chier was not seriously injured. When he met Gao Shun's concerned gaze, Hu Chier said ashamed: "I was not good at learning skills, but was scratched by Zhang Liao's spear. Fortunately, it did not hurt the vital points, so it was not injustice."

Although Hu Chier said it easily, the situation at that time was really a strait of life and death.

Zhang Liao, and Zangba led 2,000 cavalry to break through the southwest corner. Hu Chier led his army to intercept it. After a fierce battle, the Liang army finally blocked most of the Hebei cavalry inside the wall. However, Zhang Liao, Zangba still led a dozen cavalry to break out of the encirclement. During the chaos, Hu Chier was also shot by Zhang Liao and almost died. Fortunately, the heavy armor on his body saved his life.

Hu Chier said with some regret: "It's a pity that the Cao army's cavalry did not completely block them, and they still let them escape dozens of cavalry."

Gao Shun reached out and patted Hu Chier on the shoulder and said to the generals: "Although a small number of Cao's cavalry broke through in this battle, it could no longer change the fate of Cao's army's destruction. Almost all of Cao Cao's army was defeated in this battle. Even if these dozens of cavalry broke through the siege, where could they go to rescue soldiers? Huainan and Xuzhou have ambiguous attitudes. I am afraid that it is impossible to send troops to rescue Xuchang before the emperor has left. Let's take a step back, even if Huainan and Xuzhou send troops to rescue, Cao Cao will not be able to hold on at that time."

Now there are only two thousand remaining soldiers in Xuchang City, just like the candle in the wind that can be extinguished at any time.

At this time, Gao Shun naturally didn't know that Cao Cao had already escaped from the ordinary cavalry of Qiao Zhuang and was driven back to Xuchang City by Liang's army, but only Cao Cao's ceremonial guard and military advisor Xun Yu.

Meeting the eager eyes of the generals, Gao Shun said loudly: "Send the order, hurry up and repair the destroyed trenches, village walls, and continue to trap Cao's army!"

"Affect the order."

The generals responded loudly.

Outside the Dabie Mountain Pass, Ma Yue led the Liangzhou army to arrive and found that the dangerous place at the mountain pass had been occupied by the Wu army. In addition, it was dark, so he ordered a camp to be established.

That night, the central army was in the tent.

Ma Yuezheng summoned military advisor Jia Xu, naval generals Gan Ning, Chen Hu, Zhang Bao and others to discuss matters.

Gan Ning said: "Lord, the last general has sent someone to investigate. There is only one big road to go from Qingniu Pass to Runan Plain! There are high mountains and ridges on both sides of this road. It is now the cold winter month. The snow in the mountains does not melt. The cliffs are not only rugged and difficult to walk, but also very easy to slide into the abyss. At this time, even the hunters and hunters in the mountains dare not enter the mountains easily."

Ma Yue frowned and said, "In other words, the emperor who was trapped by Wu and Cao's coalition forces at the Qingniu Pass, all officials and eight thousand iron cavalry soldiers could only walk the main road?"

Jia Xu suddenly said, "Since the large group of cavalry cannot cross it, can we send a small group of elite soldiers to take the emperor from the pass first?"

"I'm afraid it won't work." Gan Ning shook his head and said, "The mountain-yue elite soldiers of the Wu army guarded them layer by layer. These mountain-yue soldiers are naturally vulnerable on the plains, but they are difficult to deal with in the mountains. They grew up in the mountains and are too familiar with the environment in the mountains. Even if they are cliffs, they can climb freely. Although the navy soldiers are familiar with the terrain of the southern mountains, they are far inferior to the mountain-yue soldiers! Of course, if they forcefully cross at any cost, they may not be able to pass through them, but the chaos army may not be able to take into account the emperor and the safety of all officials?"

Jia Xu also said: "The Emperor's Dragon's body is weak and may not be able to withstand the pain of wind and cold in the mountains. If there is a possibility on the way, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"It's so hateful!" Ma Yue said, "It's so difficult for these Shanyue soldiers to deal with?"

"Who said it was not?" Jia Xu said, "Sun Jian had tried his best to subdue these Shanyue people."

"After discussing, there is no choice but to attack!" Ma Yue punched the case hard and said decisively, "Since that's the case, attack hard, and defeat the Wu army blocking the mountain pass first when dawn tomorrow!"

"Lord." A trace of cunning suddenly flashed through Jia Xu's eyes and said to Ma Yue, "If you want to attack, why wait for tomorrow morning? Wouldn't it be better to attack at night?"

"Well, attack at night?" Ma Yue said in confusion, "Why is this?"

Jia Xu slapped the ground under his feet with his mouth.

Ma Yue was confused at first, then suddenly realized and happily said, "So that's it!"

Late at night, the Wu army camp.

Taishici, Zhou Tai and Lu Meng were discussing matters in the tent. Suddenly, the sound of trumpets sounded outside the tent. He looked up quickly. A small school had already stepped inside and knelt down and reported: "Three generals, the Liang army is gathering for trumpets. It seems that they are going to attack overnight!"

"Oh? The butcher Ma actually attacked overnight!" Taishi Ci looked cold and said to Zhou Tai and Lu Meng, "Youping, Ziming, look."

"General, please."

Zhou Tai and Lu Meng were both soothing their hands.

Taishici was not humble and took the initiative to leave the account first.

The three generals rushed to the front gate and saw thousands of mutton fat torches lit on the flat ground in front of them. Under the red flames, teams of Liang soldiers were gathering in a nervous and orderly manner. In front of the Liang army formation, a Xiliang general slapped his horse and danced his sword and was running back and forth. Wherever the iron hooves passed, the Liang soldiers cheered one after another. It was obvious that this general had a high prestige in the hearts of Liang soldiers.

Zhou Tai's eyes were sharp-eyed. Seeing this Xiliang general from afar, he couldn't help but lose his lust, "Is this the Jinfan thief Gan Ning?"

Before joining the army, Zhou Tai also ran the Yangtze River waterway and was a bandit for many years, so he had long heard of the reputation of the Jinfan thief Gan Ning. However, Zhou Tai always only committed crimes on the Jiujiang water surface, while Gan Ning only committed crimes in the territory of Bashu and Jingxiang. The two rarely met, so they had no friendship.

Taishici said: "I heard that there are generals under the Ma Butcher's tent who are from a water bandit, so I think it's Gan Ning undoubtedly."

Lu Meng said: "The Jinfan thief was rampant in Bashu, and the Jingxiang ground has been a bandit that is both water and land, and it is very difficult to deal with! If the Jinfan thief on the opposite side is really Gan Ning, it should not be underestimated!"

"It's okay." Taishi Ci said calmly, "No matter how powerful the Jinfan thief is, he will never be more powerful than Xu Chu's heavy armored iron cavalry, right?"

Lu Meng said: "That's right, the power of Xu Chu's heavily armored iron cavalry is beyond the power of the infantry's attack."

Taishici said: "That's it. Just let the soldiers occupy the camp and guard it. The Liang army can take advantage of the opportunity. If the Liang army cannot capture it for a long time, it will naturally retreat."

"Woooooooooooooo~~"
