The morale of the soldiers and horses under Liu Zheng's command was high, and with Liu Zheng getting command, as well as Zhou Cang, Zhou Chao, and Wen Ping, under the leadership of the three generals, the fight with the official army was very fierce.

The battle of half an hour was still scorching.

Although there are 40,000 people on the official army, these 40,000 people cannot be completely unified by one side, but divided into three parties, and let Cheng Yu, Cao Hong, and Zhang Chao command.

These three people each led more than 10,000 people under their command to launch an encirclement and suppression of Liu Zheng, but unfortunately, because the three of them did not have a unified dispatch, the people under their command were relatively scattered, and they could not hit the troops against Liu Zheng and these people, causing suppression.

Let Liu Zheng's side, although there are only more than 10,000 people, but relying on tacit cooperation, Liu Zheng's side not only blocked the attack of Cao Hong and others, but also was at ease, which could delay time and gradually weaken the advantage in troops.

In the half-hour battle, Liu Zhengjun's side lost only three or four thousand soldiers and horses, while Cao Hong and Cheng Yu's side also lost three or four thousand soldiers.

This is just a single party, and the three parties are superimposed, but more than 10,000 people have been killed and injured.

40,000 soldiers and horses, in just half an hour, more than 10,000 casualties, continue to fight, these 40,000 people, may have to be completely confessed here.

But Cao Hong didn't have the heart to retreat at all, not only Cao Hong didn't, but Cheng Yu didn't either, because when they came, they already remembered what Liu Dai and Cao Cao and others said before, and they were not allowed to kill Liu Zheng at any cost.

As long as Liu Zheng can be killed, all the losses are worth it, and right now, Liu Zheng is in front of him, if he can defeat Liu Zheng and bury all the 40,000 horses here, Cao Hong and Cheng Yu are also willing.

After all, the men and horses under their command were seriously killed and wounded, and the people under Liu Zheng also suffered losses.

Anyway, the three of them are one, and the dead people and horses are not the people of the dead family, but the people of the three families, and the soldiers and horses that Liu Zheng died are all Liu Zheng's people, and the weakened ones are Liu Zheng.

Therefore, despite the casualties of the soldiers and horses, Cao Hong and Cheng Yu still let their people rush forward without their lives, wanting to kill more soldiers under Liu Zheng.

But at this time, several heralds hurriedly came from the direction of Shouchun, and galloped on horseback to Cao Hong's location, and Cao Hong immediately shouted in front of him.

"General Cao Hong, the lord has an order, ordering you to withdraw your troops as soon as possible to help Shouchun!"

"General Cao Hong, the lord has an order, ordering you to withdraw your troops as soon as possible to help Shouchun!"

"General Cao Hong, the lord has an order, ordering you to withdraw your troops as soon as possible to help Shouchun!"

The herald shouted three times in a row, until he was close to Cao Hong's side, and finally attracted Cao Hong's attention, after all, the shouting and killing around him was too loud, the sound was noisy, and the distance was farther, and he couldn't hear what was being said at all.

Cao Hong was about to send his men and horses to increase the intensity of the attack, trying to annihilate the more than 10,000 men and horses under Liu Zheng in the shortest possible time, but at this time, he suddenly heard the order to summon him back, and he was immediately stunned.

"What's going on? Why did the Lord Guild let me go back? ”

Cao Hong was puzzled, and picked up the herald, seemingly a little angry, if the herald didn't give him a good explanation, he wouldn't necessarily take the herald back.

The herald was also frightened, and at this time he told Cao Hong that he was hesitant.

"Will ...... General, Shouchun was attacked, and the lord's men and horses were about to be unable to hold on! ”

The herald could only tell Cao Hong some things that he was optimistic about, and these words immediately woke up Cao Hong, and he suddenly realized, and his face changed instantly.

"What! Shouchun was attacked? ”

Although Cao Hong at this time still couldn't figure out what happened to Shouchun, these few words alone were enough to make Cao Hong worry about Cao Cao's safety.

He no longer hesitated, and directly gave orders to the soldiers and horses around him, and at the same time ordered people to prepare to retreat and go to support Shouchun!

But as soon as Cao Hong withdrew his troops, Zhang Chao and Cheng Yu on the other side were a little puzzled.

After they discovered that Cao Hong's soldiers and horses were retreating, they immediately sent people over to ask why Cao Hong chose to withdraw at this critical moment.

Cao Hong also had no choice, because he was worried about Cao Cao's safety, so he could only tell them the news that Cao Cao had sent someone to pass the order, and at the same time informed Cheng Yu and Zhang Chao of the attack on Shouchun.

The two of them originally wanted to continue to fight Liu here to the death and win or lose, but when they heard Cao Hong say this, they immediately became worried.

They were also worried about their lord's life, after all, the battle here was not something that could be done in a moment, and once it dragged on here, if something major happened to Shouchun's side, they would be in an extremely disadvantageous position.

At present, Cao Hong led his troops and horses to retreat, making them lose more than 10,000 troops, and it is unlikely that they want to continue to deal with Liu Zheng here, if the two of them continue to stay here, there is only a dead end, so they simply follow Cao Hong to withdraw to Shouchun and see what the situation is in Shouchun.

As Cao Hong, Cheng Yu, and Zhang Chao unified their thoughts and began to give orders for the whole army to retreat, Liu Zheng's side on the opposite side was already aware of the actions of these officers and soldiers.

"Lord, it looks like these people are about to start retreating!"

Zhou Cang looked at the enemy army that had retreated like a tide, and turned his head to ask Liu Zheng, wanting to see what Liu Zheng was planning.

"They chose to retreat at this time, and at first glance, Huang Zhong on Shouchun's side had already made a move, and hit those people in Shouchun, otherwise, in the current situation, Cao Hong and the others should not choose to retreat, drag them down, and can't let these soldiers and horses return to Shouchun at this time, otherwise it will bring a lot of pressure to Huang Zhong!"

"Brothers, immediately press up to stop these people from retreating, even if you can't stop them, you must stop some of them and keep them here forever, how much they can retreat depends on their lives!"

Liu Zheng didn't intend to let these people withdraw from here so easily, after all, Huang Zhong only had more than 10,000 people, if these people returned to Shouchun, it would inevitably bring a lot of pressure to Huang Zhong, and if they could leave some more of these soldiers and horses, the pressure on Huang Zhong's side would be much less.

Ignoring the losses of his own men and horses, he forcibly ordered his men and horses to rush forward and contain these enemy troops who wanted to retreat.

A great battle broke out here, and the two sides turned from the initial struggle to retreat and pursuit.
