Zhang Liao was hidden on a low ridge, the banners and golden drums were stacked aside, and there were only 300 horsemen following him within a radius of hundreds of paces, looking in the direction of the city of Qiaoxian, the situation was not good.

The generals of Cao's army followed his idea and sprinkled scouts eastward, so they did not find their 3,000 elite horsemen hidden in the southwestern col of Qiaoxian. But what was also bad was that Cao's army still sent 3,000 soldiers and horses to trap the east of Qian County after besieging Sanque Yi.

The east of Qian County is the place where the soldiers and horses of Xiangxian County came to reinforce the army.

With 3,000 Cao troops in the block, Zhang Liao's plan to charge the army with a small number of troops when Cao's army attacked the city had failed.

The so-called small army is only 3,000 in the headquarters, 8,000 in the city, 8,000 in reinforcements, and nearly 20,000 combined troops to conflict with 20,000 or more soldiers and horses besieging the city...... Now that the road to reinforcements is blocked, the battle will first break out in the east of Qiaoxian, and how the Cao army chooses next is the main point of the engagement.

Looking at Zhang Liao, who was under the city of Qiaoxian, there was no fluctuation on his face, but the heart in his chest was slowly sinking.

If Cao Jun is scared away this time, it will be difficult to capture such a good opportunity again!

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Liao's legs hidden behind the dead trees in the mountains felt numb, and the sound of shouting and killing faintly sounded in the east of Qian County, coming!

Just as Zhang Liao expected, the reinforcements collided with the thousands of enemy troops sent by the Cao army to the east to block the retreat of Qiaoxian!

Zhang Liao couldn't see the battle taking place so far away, and even the shouts of killing that came here were extremely weak, he didn't care about the eight thousand soldiers and horses, nor did he care about the enemy army that blocked the attack, his eyes were staring at the Cao army under siege, just see how they choose!

"Quick, quick! The horses are calling for reinforcements, quick! Zhang Liao clenched his fists, and there were words in his mouth, and he actually helped the enemy to send orders and pray for him to return to the camp as soon as possible, "Reinforcements, pull out the camp and go to the rescue!" ”

Because the enemy army blocked the passage, Zhang Liao no longer had any illusions about defeating the main force of the Cao army's support, he now only thinks about how to eat this vanguard army, as for the follow-up Cao army, it depends on who God favors more.

Did the main force of the Cao army arrive first, or did Wuhuan reinforcements arrive?

In the distance, the horsemen the size of wheat grains galloped across the field with small flags on their backs, and rushed into the formation without stopping, but for a moment the camp was in turmoil, followed by the two camping armies in the south and north of the city, and the two armies encamped and besieged the city rushed to the east to quickly rush to the battlefield, while the vanguard of the Cao army, which was originally stationed in the west of the city, slowly retreated...... No waiting!

Zhang Liao waved his hand suddenly, hammered the trunk of the tree beside him with a fist, looked back and said: "Pass my general order, the elite cavalry of the headquarters will follow me to the west, be sure to go around to the west of Cao's army in one moment, and one moment later, raise the flag and let the whole army of Chen Gongtai in the city go out of the city to face the battle!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Liao ran down the ridge like the wind, and his subordinates all turned over and mounted their horses at the bottom of the mountain, and dragged the earth dragon to the west when they turned around.

Chen Gong in the city looked at most of the Cao army running to the east, and his heart was happy, even if he knew that the Cao army was divided to repel the 8,000 reinforcements from Xiang County, it still made him feel the hope of victory, and now the offensive and defensive situation is easy, and they have become the part with more troops.

It's just that the Cao army's main formation in the west of the city also retreated nearly a thousand steps, and it opened up the distance that Chen Gong could attack. Only then did he remember that in Cao Jun's heart, the enemy army in the city was not 8,000, but tens of thousands.

The key to victory seems to fall on the three thousand elite cavalry of Zhang Liaobu, who I know the enemy does not know, but can they do it?

Under the anxiety of Chen Gong, Li Dian's troops fell into a bitter battle, and they were originally fully prepared for the city of Qiaoxian City, but unexpectedly, the scouts released by Xiahou Yuan suddenly reported that a large number of enemy troops were rushing behind him, and Li Dian hurriedly retreated a few miles to the west, but he still could not retreat to a safe place and engaged the Yan reinforcements.

They were still ten miles away from the county. Ten miles, said far is not far to say near but not close, only had time to release the messenger horseman, in the blink of an eye, the two sides fought, the eight thousand galloping Yan army is like a giant beast stepping on the earth dragon, and in the blink of an eye, Li Dian's department is surrounded in all directions...... It is true that the soldiers of the Li family are good at fighting, but no matter how good the soldiers are, it is difficult for them to fight one against two in a dignified battle, not to mention that they have to fight two and a half!

Li Dian has nothing to worry about, but to die!

Xiahou Yuan will not be able to die without help, as long as the soldiers form a formation to support the continuous impact and encroachment of the enemy army, and wait until the reinforcements arrive, this battle will still be fought!

But how easy is it to hold on?

The 8,000 Yan army surrounded Li Dian's army in the center, and the layers of armor and long soldiers could not bring them much casualties, but what about the crossbowmen outside the infantry formation? They shot arrows at the middle of the formation without hesitation, and the unsuspecting soldiers in the middle of the formation at first were shot hundreds in the blink of an eye. Even if the wooden shield was put on top later, it still could not prevent the casualties of the soldiers.

This battle is not easy for anyone, Le Jin, who led more than 5,000 soldiers to come to the rescue, also showed a cautious look when he looked at the battle array, but he was cautious, and Le Jin raised his sword and shouted into the battlefield before he took a hundred and ten steps, and the soldiers behind him scattered except for the pawns of the conflict and collided with the enemy battle formation.

The hundred generals of the Yiyan Army slashed over from the horse, and Le Jin saw Li Dian being wrapped in the middle of the battle formation from afar, and shouted loudly: "Li Mancheng, this time it is my turn to save you Le Wenqian!" ”

In the city of Qiaoxian, the soldiers urgently reported: "General Zhang has raised the flag!" ”

Chen Gong hurriedly looked to the southwest, and saw several big flags on the mountain waving one after another, "The red flag is an attack, and the direction of the flag is swinging over there!" ”

It was too far away, Chen Gong could only distinguish the color of the flag but could not see the direction, and it was difficult for him to tell whether the waving flag of the thing was allowing him to attack the enemy army in the west or the enemy army in the east. The more anxious I became, the more irritable I became, "Which side to hit?" Which? ”

Chen Gong was accompanied by guards on the left and right, they were used to obeying orders, where did they know which side to fight, Chen Gong couldn't ask any useful words, and finally hammered on the battlements and said: "Tell the order to go out of the city, attack the enemy army in the west first, and pursue ten miles after defeating!" ”

Chen Gong, who was walking down the city quickly, was still muttering in his heart: 'Whoever hits whom, whoever hits whom!' ’

The 8,000 defenders were divided into three divisions, and they rushed out from the city gates on the north, west, and south, roaring straight towards the enemy troops left by Cao's army to defend the west of the city...... Xiahou Yuan, who led the troops, had been on guard and thought of a way to retreat when the Yan reinforcements appeared in the east of the city, and now seeing that the enemy army was strong, he continued to retreat to the west, and personally held a sword and rode a horse to urge the army to break off, and for a time the two armies went west at the same time, and it seemed that no one could help anyone.

At this moment, the dust suddenly rose from the west behind Xiahoudun, and a slashing spirit rode out between the mountain roads, and the leader slashed like a crescent moon with a long knife. The hussars behind him were all fierce, holding high the banner of Zhang Zi and roaring and crashing into the front of the Cao army who was burying their heads and galloping, and in a blink of an eye, they blocked the retreat momentum of Xiahou Yuan's subordinates, and followed the three sides of Chen Gong's subordinates to encircle and strangle one ...... Three thousand armies!
