() Seeing the enemy troops chasing after them, Hua Xiong had no choice but to lead his army back to fight. The two armies started a head-on duel on a plain to the west of Yangcheng.

In this confrontation, the two armies were evenly matched in terms of strength. Although the Xiliang army only had less than 2,000 troops, the men and horses Sun Jian brought to pursue were only 2,000, and he left the rest in the city. However, in terms of

The morale of the army increased, but Sun Jian's army took advantage of it. The Xiliang army had no intention of fighting after losing Yangcheng, and was only forced to fight reflexively due to the situation; moreover, this Xiliang army was originally a cavalry, but now it is gone

The combat power of the war horses was naturally greatly reduced. As a result, soon after the two armies clashed, the Xiliang Army fell into absolute passivity. Not only was the initial counterattack momentum completely curbed, but it became very difficult to resist.

He retreated step by step, but his own horses kept falling down.

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army were constantly cut down by the advancing Sun Jian's army. Although there were strong generals like Hua Xiong to block the enemy's offensive, personal bravery was of limited use on such a battlefield. Even though he killed more than ten enemy soldiers

, but it is difficult to reverse the decline.

"Shua——" The sword fell and cut off half of the head of an enemy general who was approaching him. Hua Xiong looked around, his face became miserable. The two thousand soldiers who followed him from Yangcheng were killed.

Nearly half of them have fallen in this battle, and most of the rest are injured. It will be difficult to hold on for much longer.

"Hu Yu, you lead the army to retreat first, and I will lead the people to resist here!" Hua Xiong knew that this would only lead to the annihilation of the entire army, so he had to give the order to retreat again. But he also understood that the enemy's offensive was in full swing at this time.

If you turn around and run away at this time, the outcome will be mediocre, so only with a small number of troops behind to resist and delay can you give other troops a chance to leave.

Naturally, Hu Yu refused to abandon his general like this. He stabbed an enemy to death with his spear and shouted: "General, it's me who will resist the enemy. You lead the troops to retreat to the west."

"You can't stop them..." Before Hua Xiong could finish his words, a big knife with a whistling sound hit his chest, interrupting his words. He quickly swung the knife to meet the attack, and there was a loud sound.

Finally, he was struck by the sword so much that his hands trembled, which made his heart tighten. He looked around and saw that it was an enemy general in full armor.

"Sun——Jian!" Hua Xiong quickly recognized the identity of the enemy general. After shouting, he waved his sword and attacked him. When he led his men to counterattack, he planned to take the enemy general directly.

However, he was blocked by the swarming enemy troops. Unexpectedly, Sun Jian was now coming to kill him. How could he hold back? He just wanted to kill Sun Jian, so as to avenge the hatred of destroying the city and take advantage of it.

Destroy enemy morale.

However, this battle did not go as Hua Xiong hoped. Although his martial arts skills were excellent, how could Jiangdong Tiger be comparable to ordinary generals? The two of them caught each other and fought against each other.

Sun Jian was entangled, and the situation of the soldiers under his command became even worse. The momentum that they could resist in the past gradually disappeared. They could only keep retreating to save themselves, and they were just one step away from the collapse of the entire army.

Seeing that the battle situation was becoming more and more unfavorable, Hua Xiong's heart was on fire. After hearing his roar, he waved his sword to force Sun Jian to retreat, turned his horse and ran towards the west. At the same time, he shouted: "Retreat, the whole army retreats!"

Finally, I no longer love fighting, I just want to escape with my life.

Everyone in the Xiliang Army breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the general issued this order. They were already on the verge of collapse, and they only resisted because of the military order. Now that the general has said to retreat, they will no longer tangle with the enemy.

, immediately turned around and left. Although many people lost their lives, most of them quickly broke away from the battle and fled westward.

This really surprised everyone in Sun Jian's army, but they quickly reacted. Sun Jian waved his long sword and shouted again: "Chase! Even if we chase them to Hulao Pass, we will catch up with them!"

After receiving the general's signal, Sun Jianjun also took steps to pursue him. The two groups of men and horses spread out completely on the plain, one chasing and the other escaping. There was no queue or formation at all. Then, along the way,

They are all battlefields where soldiers from both sides fight. Every time

At every intersection, there were several soldiers from both sides fighting each other. Not only the Xiliang army had lost its systematic command, but also Sun Jian's command. Except for the three hundred elites who had been staying with him, everyone else was rushing to the battlefield separately.

It's everywhere.

At this time, as long as there is a large army nearby, just one charge can kill these two groups of people who are completely disorganized. But will such a group of people really appear at this time?

The answer is yes. On a small hill more than ten miles away from the battlefield, a group of three thousand cavalrymen are looking at the battle here from a distance. On a flag that was deliberately brought down to hide its identity,

The word "Lü" was embroidered on the ground. This group of troops who appeared more than 20 miles west of Yangcheng was the elite division selected by Lu Bu from the more than 20,000 defenders of Hulao Pass. But why did he

Will it appear here?

??????????

On the hill, Hou Cheng and other generals looked at Lu Bu with reverence, and they all felt sincere admiration for their general's wise decision. When Lu Bu ordered three thousand elite troops to be dispatched from Hulao Pass and came here,

There are still many generals who are puzzled. Now it seems that everything was as expected by General Lu, which is really admirable.

But what they didn't know was that Lu Bu also admired a certain person at this time. It was this person who wrote a letter, asking him to send a group of troops to deal with Hua Xiong who might be captured and pursued, so he would appear here in time.

The person who wrote the letter to mobilize Lu Bu was the same person who had previously written to Hua Xiong, asking him to be careful and not to let his anger spoil the important matter.

In fact, Lu Bu's knowledge of Ma Yue's resourcefulness and ability was very limited. This time he was willing to obey Ma Yue's wishes and act out of his own judgment. After reading the letter written by Ma Yue, he also felt that Yangcheng was being

The possibility of the enemy breaking through was extremely high, and if he could set up an army halfway, he would not only be able to save his comrades who had retreated from Yangcheng, but he might also be able to win a victory.

After all, Lu Bu had just surrendered to Dong Zhuo not long ago, and it was the time when he needed to show off. Since there was such an opportunity in front of him, he would not let it go. So not only did he send out soldiers, but he himself also appeared here.

Now, when he saw that the Yangcheng defenders had indeed been defeated and that there was still a group of enemy troops pursuing them, a smile appeared on his lips. He turned around and ordered Generals Hou Cheng and Wei Xu: "Pass my order.

Do not attack until the enemy is within one mile of our army!"

"Here!" the two generals agreed quickly. Although they didn't know that Lu Bu was doing this to better annihilate the enemy and make it difficult for the enemy to escape, they still solemnly passed on the order.

After a while, the defeated army led by Hua Xiong retreated to the foot of the hill, and closely behind them was Sun Jian's troops who were desperately chasing and had already lost their formation. At this time, both groups of troops were

They were already feeling exhausted. Although the fleeing party was in great embarrassment and the pursuing party was out of breath, both sides still had no intention of stopping unless one party fell down.

Just when Hua Xiong thought there was no way to escape this time, and was about to turn around again to fight the enemy to the death, a large flag was suddenly raised on the hill. As the flag was suddenly raised, a large flag was raised on the hill.

Hundreds more crossbowmen appeared. After a crisp sound of a bang, hundreds of sharp arrows rushed down from top to bottom towards the enemy chasing behind them with the sound of piercing the air.

"Huh-huh-"

"Ah..." The unprepared soldiers of Sun Jian's army fell to the ground one after another after being hit by arrows. If they had not run away and scattered their ranks at this time, I am afraid that this round of arrow rain would have caused even greater casualties to them. But they obviously

There was no chance to rejoice at this, because after the rain of arrows, thousands of cavalry armed with various sharp blades ran down the hill. They shouted and rushed towards the people who had been hit by the sudden arrows one by one.

The dizzy Sun Jianjun.

Lu Bu rushed to the front of the team with a halberd in his hand, and quickly reached the middle of the enemy army. With a shake of the halberd in his hand, he stabbed into a man's chest, and then with another shock, he flew away the enemy who had been stabbed to death.

He bumped into someone behind him, and both of them were thrown to the ground.

Led by Lu Bu, the ambush troops advanced at an astonishing speed, leaving corpses of enemy soldiers wherever they passed.

Hua Xiong's troops, who had been driven away just now, were refreshed when they saw reinforcements coming out. Under the leadership of Hua Xiong, they turned around again and killed the enemies behind them.

The Xiliang soldiers here really hate Sun Jian's army. Now that they finally have the opportunity to fight back, how can they let it go?

Suddenly, the situation of victory and defeat was completely reversed. The original pursuer became the pursued, and the defeated army in turn became the pursuer.

All this happened so fast that Sun Jian didn't even have time to make corresponding arrangements. The chasing troops in front had already fled. And his relatively well-organized team instantly became Hua Xiong and Lu Bu.

The goal of passers-by.

Hua Xiong immediately set his sights on Sun Jian, who was wearing a steel helmet. This man led his army to break through the city, and also led his people to pursue him, almost forcing him to the edge. Now that the situation was reversed, he wanted to let Sun Jian
