Ren Cheng.

Cao Ang stood on the city tower, looking at the dusty and flag-cluttered battlefield in the distance, and his heart tightened. Although the two sides have been facing each other for a long time, they have long been mentally prepared, knowing that this big battle is inevitable, but suddenly it is inseparable, and only more than an hour after the war, Xin Bi wrote a letter asking for help, which was a big surprise, and also made Cao Ang feel the danger after the situation.

Yuan Tan has an absolute superiority in troops, how could Xin Bi be in a hurry? Cao Ang didn't quite understand, he always felt that there was another article in this. Chen Gong also felt that there was a problem and was thinking behind closed doors, and no one could disturb him. The development of the battle situation was too different from the expectation, and they were not mentally prepared enough, but the relationship between him and Yuan Tan was very delicate, so they couldn't help but deal with it carelessly.

Knowing that it was impossible to see, Cao Ang still looked into the distance, his hands clenched involuntarily, his toes rose involuntarily, and his heart beat like a war drum outside the city. The nearest battlefield was only more than ten miles away, and the war drums there had been sounding for a while, and the victory or defeat had not been decided, and he couldn't see clearly in the distance, and he could still hear the faint sound of drums before, but now it was all masked, and it was impossible to know how it was going.

Xin Bi's request for help said that this was the main battlefield for ambushing Sun Ce, with a total of 10,000 elites before and after, plus 5,000 personal guards led by Yuan Tan himself, Xin Bi gathered 15,000 people to surround and annihilate Sun Ce. How many people are there in Sun Ce? Simbi said that it was less than a thousand horsemen. It was surrounded yesterday, why didn't you attack immediately? Xin Bi said that he wanted to use Sun Ce as bait to lure Zhu Huan, who was Kang's father.

It doesn't sound like a problem, but the logic doesn't make sense, and it always makes people feel like it's a pit.

At this time, several horses rushed in the distance, and the knights frantically whipped the war horses, and the war horses ran at great speed, pulling up a billowing cloud of smoke and dust behind them. A knight ran too fast and did not control the turn well, and the horse stumbled and fell, sliding more than ten zhang away, and the knight on horseback fell and could not get up again.

Cao Ang hurriedly collected his mood and leaned over to look outside.

After a while, a knight came to the outside of the city, across the moat, and shouted: "Fu Jun, Yuan Yuanjun is coming this way." ”

"Who?" Cao Ang didn't hear it clearly for a while, and asked in a loud voice.

"Yuan Envoy Jun, Yuan Tan Yuan Envoy Jun."

Cao Ang was startled, raised his head and looked at it, only to see dozens of horsemen running in the distance, and there were more cavalry behind him. Who are Yuan Tan? What is Yuan Tan doing here? Cao Ang's heart swelled with countless questions, but there was no answer.

After a while, several horsemen rushed to the city one after another, reporting the news that Yuan Tan was approaching, but no one could answer Cao Ang's question. Cao Ang was worried in his heart, and he didn't know what to do. Just when he was in a hurry, a horse galloped over and told Cao Ang that Yuan Tan was defeated, was pursued by Sun Ce, and was running towards this side.

Cao Ang was taken aback, unable to believe his ears. Yuan Tan had 15,000 people, and he had 5,000 elite infantry cavalry by his side, how could he be defeated and still pursued by Sun Ce? Doesn't it say that Sun Ce has a thousand horses, is Sun Ce really a ten?

Without waiting for Cao Ang to understand the truth, Yuan Tan came to the city with only more than ten horsemen by his side. He looked behind him in panic, gesturing desperately, pointing to the city gate, looking anxious, but not saying a word.

Cao Ang was inexplicable and asked loudly, "Envoy, what's going on?" ”

Yuan Tan was so angry that he smoked. Sun Ce is right behind, you put down the drawbridge first and let me cross the moat." When I enter the city, you will slowly ask, can't you, do you have to ask now? He wanted to explain, but he ran too fast, his heart beat faster, his throat was dry and painful, and he couldn't say a word. He connected a few mouthfuls of saliva, and finally felt that his throat was more comfortable and he could speak, but he saw that Sun Ce and the others had already chased hundreds of steps away, even if Cao Ang put the suspension bridge now, it would be too late. Yuan Tan shouted angrily: "Go!" "Whip the horse hard, speed up again, and run north.

Several knights turned around to intercept and buy time for Yuan Tan. Guo Wu rode into the dust, arrived first, and brazenly slashed into the crowd, the spear flew over, and instantly killed two people, and the two guards saw this, regardless of it, and rode their horses and crashed into them. Guo Wu couldn't dodge, and his mount was hit, and he took a few steps next to the hissing sound before crashing to the ground. Seeing that the situation was not good, Guo Wu swung his spear on the ground a little, took advantage of the momentum to rise again, and flipped over the heads of the two knights who rushed on horseback, and as soon as his feet landed, he got up again and killed the last knight. The knight stabbed with his spear, Guo Wu twisted his body, let go of his spear, jumped up, knocked the knight off the horse, sat on the horse, turned the horse's head, and chased Yuan Tan again.

Cao Ang and the others on the city wall saw it really and looked at each other. Who is this, with a small number of enemies, who can still take horses and kill people?

"Good skills!" Pan Zhang patted the city wall and praised loudly: "If you can compete with such masters, it is worth dying." ”

Cao Ang didn't have time to think about this, Sun Ce and Ma Chao and other more than 100 horsemen rushed to the city, and chased north non-stop, people like tigers, horses like dragons, all vying for the first. The knights tried to intercept them, but they were killed in an instant, and they were killed in the city. Someone left the team, led a few saddled war horses, and chased north.

After a while, Yan Xing led five or six hundred horsemen over and passed under the city. Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others followed, and more than 1,000 horsemen passed under the city in a mighty manner, and chased into the distance.

Seeing this scene, Cao Ang was remorseful. Although I don't know what the reason is, Yuan Tan was indeed defeated, not only defeated, but also left alone, and was chased by Sun Ce with his personal guards like a lost dog. He came to Rencheng to seek refuge. But he misunderstood Yuan Tan and missed the opportunity to rescue Yuan Tan, and now Yuan Tan can only flee north, and whether he can escape from Sun Ce's hands depends on the will of heaven.

Cao Ang gritted his teeth, turned around and ran towards the city. "Wen Jue, hurry! Gather the guards and ride, and we will go to save Yuan Yuanjun. ”

Pan Zhang didn't say a word, and ran towards the city, shouting loudly as he ran. The guards were under the city wall, on standby at any time, and when they heard Pan Zhang's shout, they got on their horses and prepared to set off. Cao Ang ordered the drawbridge to be lowered, the city gate opened, and he himself walked down the city wall quickly, turning over and getting on his horse. He had just arrived at the gate of the city when Cao Ren rode his horse with two knights and stopped Cao Ang.

"General, where are you going?"

"Yuan Yuanjun is in danger, Sun Ce is chasing him, I am going to pick him up."

"Just your dozens of riders?" Cao Ren turned over and dismounted, rushed to Cao Ang, reached out and grabbed Cao Ang's reins, and shouted, "Do you think you are Sun Ce's opponent?" ”

"I know I'm not, but I can't ......"

Before Cao Ang could finish speaking, Cao Ren grabbed him by the waist and tore him off his horse. "Protect the general and don't let him go out of the city." Cao Ren couldn't help but say, turned over his horse, and ran towards the city gate that had just opened a crack. "Guards, come with me."

"Uncle—" Cao Ang was anxious. Two guards rushed forward and held him firmly. Cao Ang couldn't break free, and watched Cao Ren rush out of the city gate, and shouted in a hurry: "Wen Jue, be sure to protect your uncle." ”

"General rest assured." Pan Zhang responded loudly and chased after him.

Chen Gong rushed over from a distance in the car, and before the car stopped, he jumped out of the car, took three steps and two steps to Cao Ang, and shouted breathlessly: "Envoy, I understand what Xin George meant." ”
