"Zhang Fei's army has been fighting for more than two months, and the soldiers are exhausted, and the fight to Yancheng may have exhausted their strength, making them vulnerable, and they have become the end of the crossbow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Yan Liang said with a smile.

Liu Bei stared at him without saying a word. Yan Liang's tone of voice when he said this was weak, and his confidence was obviously insufficient, perhaps he himself didn't believe this extremely reluctant explanation. He avoided Liu Bei's gaze, looking uneasy.

"I'm familiar with the Northern Frontier Army, better than any of you." Liu Bei waved the whip in his hand vigorously and said loudly, "Urgently tell General Xiahou, General Gao, keep your distance, don't chase too fast, this must be the Northern Xinjiang Army's plan to lure the enemy, please be cautious, don't be surrounded." ”

Before Liu Bei's words fell, he saw more than a dozen scouts galloping from the northeast, and the war horses were almost about to fly into the air.

Liu Bei's face changed at that time.

………………

Lu Yi and Wang Wei of the Northern Xinjiang Army suddenly appeared in Baiyu Pavilion with an army of 16,000, blocking Liu Bei's advance.

Liu Bei immediately ordered the 40,000-strong army to reorganize the array and launch an attack on the Northern Xinjiang Army, trying to break through the defense line of the Northern Xinjiang Army and rescue Xiahou Yuan and Gao Gan.

At the same time, he sent an envoy to Cao Cao for help: "Urgently tell the prime minister that the forward army is surrounded, please ask the prime minister to come to help quickly." ”

………………

Cao Cao received Liu Bei's urgent report, his head was dizzy, and a cold sweat came out of his back: he had been tricked.

"Urgently tell Liu Bei, withdraw to Yancheng, withdraw here." Cao Cao threw down the bamboo slip in his hand, jumped up from behind the desk, and rushed out of the house.

"Lord, Lord, where are you going?" Xi Zhicai, Mao Jue and others followed him in a panic, shouting repeatedly.

"I'm going to pick up the retreat of the army." Cao Cao's cries were filled with despair and anger.

………………

At noon on the same day, Binh Duong Pavilion.

Zhao Yun, Zhai Yu, and Lan Rong were stationed on Ma Gaopo, looking at the staggered and embarrassed soldiers of Northern Xinjiang on the galloping road in the distance, and they all smiled.

"General, the next time we meet General Yide, we will make fun of him." Zhai Yu stroked his beard and laughed, "It's the first time we've seen General Yide so embarrassed, right?" ”

"Forget it. If it were you, I would have chopped the enemy with a knife. Zhao Yun said with a smile, "There is nearly a hundred miles to run here from Yancheng. You run and see, I guess you haven't run half way before you crawl on the ground. ”

"In order to lure the enemy into taking the bait, General Yide did not hesitate to use his body as bait, and his courage was amazing." Lan Rong said excitedly, "I can see the embarrassed appearance of the No. 1 warrior in Northern Xinjiang, this trip to the Central Plains is not in vain." ”

The three laughed.

The scout hurried over and reported loudly to Zhao Yun: "Report to the three generals, the rebels are still fifteen miles away from here. ”

"Why is it so slow?" Zhai Yu asked strangely, "Is the speed of this chasing soldier too slow?" So that you can also hunt down your opponent? ”

"Back to General. The pursuers picked up our discarded money along the way, and some people fought each other, so the speed was much slower. The scout bowed and replied, "These pursuers were extremely fast, catching up with us three times along the way, killing hundreds of us. Later, General Zhang Fei ordered the property to be discarded, and we finally distanced ourselves from them. ”

"Hmph......" Zhao Yun sneered, gritted his teeth and said, "They won't live long, let them be happy before they die." ”

As soon as the scouts left, Zhang Fei's herald arrived. Zhang Fei confessed, after annihilating the enemy army, he rushed to the aid of Baiyu Pavilion. Now Koji Yizheng is leading the army to intercept the enemy's second group of pursuers at Baiyuting, and Zhang Fei wants the three of them to inflict heavy losses on the rebels at all costs and beat the rebels back to Yancheng.

Zhao Yun collected Zhang Fei's warrant, and galloped back to the slope with Zhai Yu and Lan Rong.

At the foot of the hillside, 18,000 cavalry from the north of Xinjiang were standing in formation, majestic and majestic, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

………………

At noon, the White Fish Pavilion.

Liu Bei commanded the army to attack continuously, but the Northern Xinjiang Army was like a rock, not moving at all.

Yan Liang called back Liu Bei, who was in command at the front line, and said a little anxiously: "Xuande, we have been tricked, let's withdraw." ”

Liu Bei was so angry that he didn't speak for a long time.

"Xuande, have you forgotten about my failure in Baima?" Yan Liang was in a hurry, and he didn't care about his face, and briefly said the battle of the day, "I have already told you in detail about these things in Yancheng. Think about it, is there a similarity between today's battle and my battle? Zhang Fei must have ambushed a large army in the direction of Pingyang Pavilion. He ate Xiahou Yuan and Gao Gan, and immediately he would vent down and surround us. ”

Liu Bei shook his hand angrily and scolded hatefully.

"If Zhang Fei hadn't sent an army to support Hanoi at all, then there would have been at least 50,000 troops in the Binh Duong Ting direction. With an army of 50,000 to encircle and annihilate the exhausted forward army that had traveled hundreds of miles, was it not ready to be captured? Let's go, it's too late to retreat. Once surrounded by the Northern Xinjiang Army, with Brother Mengde's 20,000 men, not only will we not be able to rescue us, but even Yancheng will be lost. Yan Liang's face was red, and he was so anxious that he was sweating.

Liu Bei wiped the sweat from his face and gradually calmed down. I fought all morning, and I didn't advance an inch, and it seemed that it was impossible to rescue Xiahou Yuan's 20,000 horses. Now go back, there are still 80,000 people in the direction of Yancheng, and they can continue to fight against the Northern Xinjiang Army, but if they cut off these 40,000 people, the northern battlefield will be a thousand miles away, and there is no possibility of saving.

"Withdraw ......" Liu Bei gritted his teeth and shouted categorically, "Withdraw to Yancheng." ”

………………

The battlefield trembled violently with a loud roar.

The army of 18,000 cavalry roared down like a river bursting its banks, sweeping across the battlefield with a devastating force, sweeping everything away, leaving only a blur of flesh and blood.

The rebel soldiers were devastated, they had no power to fight back, their tired bodies were not even able to run because of fear, and they could only watch themselves drowned under the hooves of countless horses.

Xiahou Yuan's war horse was shot, and he fell to the ground with a miserable neigh. He staggered to his feet, pulled off his crooked helmet, and waited for death to come.

A squad of coalition cavalry arrived.

Gao Gan's eyes were quick, he reached out and grabbed Xiahou Yuan's armor, pulled him into the air and pulled him to the horse, and shouted loudly: "Go, escape to the woods in front, quickly, quickly......"

With the experience of escaping for the first time, Gao Gan was much calmer this time, and he was not frightened by the overwhelming cavalry of the Northern Frontier behind him.

………………

In the evening, Liu Bei led his army to retreat to Yancheng.

Cao Cao endured his grief and frustration, and urgently discussed with everyone how to deal with it.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiahou Yuan and Gao Gan fled back to Yancheng with dozens of personal guards.

The next morning, Zhang Fei returned with an army of foot cavalry. He piled up the severed heads of the rebel soldiers into a hill under the city, and then returned to the camp with great pride.

This hill of people severely damaged the morale of the rebels, and even Cao Cao lost confidence in defeating the Northern Frontier Army. If it weren't for Liu Bei and Yan Liang's timely retreat this time, it is estimated that they would have been completely finished. Zhang Fei on the other side is too powerful, he deserves to be the number one fierce general in Northern Xinjiang, and he is not half sure of fighting with this kind of person. If the confrontation continues for a long time, you may lose your life here. He immediately had the idea of withdrawing his troops.

Just when he had no excuses, a piece of news came that frightened Cao Cao. The Northern Xinjiang Army crossed Yanjindu in the early morning and quickly occupied Yancheng, Yanjin and Suojube. The rear of the army was cut off.

Cao Cao and the generals looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, one by one dumbfounded.

It was only now that Cao Cao completely understood that his strategy of attacking the east and the west happened to fall into Zhang Fei's plan to attack the west. The two of you calculate me, I calculate you, but Zhang Fei took the lead first, and he was one step behind, half a step slower, and lost cleanly.

"Withdraw." Cao Cao didn't need to hesitate, and there was no need for excuses. If you don't withdraw now, when the Northern Xinjiang Army has firmly established a foothold in Yanjin and Suojube, the 80,000 horses will become turtles in the urn, and they will be swallowed by Zhang Fei one by one. And once the coalition army lost these 80,000 horses, it was almost declared defeated. Because the only advantage of the coalition forces now is that the strength of the army is almost twice that of the Northern Frontier Army. But once these 80,000 horses are annihilated, the strength advantage of the coalition army will no longer be obvious. With the strong combat power of the Northern Frontier Army, the coalition forces were almost unable to resist it.

Especially Cao Cao himself, he will become a real bare-bones commander, which Cao Cao absolutely cannot accept.

Cao Cao led his army south and withdrew to Wuchao.

Wuchao is located forty miles southeast of Sujuo, at the confluence of Pushui River and Jishui River, only fifteen miles away from Fengqiu City.

Wuchao got its name because it is bordered by Wuchaoze in the south. At this time, it is under the jurisdiction of Sujube County.

In another time and space, the Black Nest is famous. All this is because after the outbreak of the Battle of Guandu in 200 AD (the fifth year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty), Yuan Shaotun grain was in Wuchao. Cao Cao adopted the advice of his advisor Xu You, and personally led 5,000 elite soldiers to attack Wuchao at night, successfully burning all the grain and grass materials of Yuan's army. Yuan's army was immediately defeated at Guandu. The battle of Wuchao can be said to have determined the success or failure of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

However, at this time, none of this was destined to happen, and Yuan Shao was driven south of the Yellow River by Li Yi, and became an ally with Cao Cao. Both sides are now facing a life-and-death crisis, and they are working together to fight against Li Yi, a traverser.

However, the extraordinary place is destined to be extraordinary, and now, a great war that will determine the ownership of the Central Plains is about to start in this magical place.

After receiving Cao Cao's request for help, the Yuan army stationed in Fengqiu crossed the Pushui River to respond.

Cao Cao withdrew safely, and then under Yuan Shao's order, along the south bank of the Jishui River, westward into Henan, stationed in the two cities of Yuanwu and Yangwu, and confronted the Northern Xinjiang Army in the ditch water.

At this point, the Northern Xinjiang Army approached the chasm and threatened Henan, and the warring sides on the Central Plains battlefield gradually formed a decisive battle situation. (To be continued.) )
