On the plain, two infantrymen met on a narrow road, and the brave one won. Because they were both infantrymen, there was no room for escape.
But the question is, do the soldiers behind Cao Hong look like brave men? The remaining soldiers were defeated and ran away all night. They were simply disabled and weak.
How to fight so hard?
Suddenly, Cao Hong felt a sense of despair. If he had known this earlier, he would have fought to the death with Wei Yan in Tongguan. It would be better than finally breaking out of the encirclement and dying here.[
Cao Hong was in despair, his generals were in despair, and his soldiers were in despair. Tongguan, Tongguan is so dangerous, why did they end up like this?
Why.
If Cao Hong and others were desperate, then Yiji and Zhang Ba were in a different mood. Yiji and Zhang Ba were not mentally prepared for the unexpected encounter between the two parties.
After all, Chang'an and Tongguan are hundreds of miles away from each other. Due to years of war, the surroundings are deserted. They are all flat and there are no specific roads. As long as the two sides deviate slightly, they will not meet.
The probability of this unexpected encounter was almost zero. But they happened to meet it.
"Major General, that was Cao's defeated army. Cao Hong might be among them. It's time to make another contribution." Yi Ji was overjoyed and said to Zhang Ba.
Although Liu Feng promised Wanhu Hou, the more credit, the better, and the more rewards, the better. Hearing this, Zhang Ba nodded fiercely and ordered: "Charge over and leave no one behind."
"Kill." The armies of the princes in Guanzhong are all powerful troops. No matter what the circumstances, no matter what the situation, they can carry out war, not to mention that they are recharging their strength in Chang'an with Zhang Heng.
For several months, both physical strength and energy were at their peak.
Therefore, following Zhang Ba's order, all the soldiers under Zhang Hengzhang roared wildly, raised their spears and charged out.
Zhang Heng also wanted to rein in his horse and kill him, but was stopped by Yi Ji.
"Major General, the war is dangerous. It is not suitable to fight bravely at this time. Just let the army attack and kill Cao Hong. The Major General reined in his horse and hundreds of horsemen to keep an eye on the man who fled on horseback to prevent Cao Hong from getting away."
Yi Ji said very solemnly. The princes in Guanzhong all have cavalry. Zhang Heng's cavalry is small, but there are hundreds of them. One of them is to prepare a strong formation to prevent Cao Hong from escaping. The key is to make Zhang Ba be careful. Now we have a complete victory.
Well, if Zhang Ba loses his life here and the army is defeated, then the gain outweighs the loss.
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Zhang Ba immediately remembered Zhang Heng's instructions before he left to obey Yi Ji's orders, so he nodded and said.
Yi Ji's arrangement was very cautious, so Zhang Ba and hundreds of cavalry were watching from the side, and Cao Hong must not be allowed to escape.
You must know that in the current situation, Cao Hong will be defeated. He may not have the intention to lead the remaining cavalry and escape. After all, he did not die in Tongguan, but dying here is too worthless.
But when Cao Hong saw the army on the opposite side coming towards them with thousands of infantry and hundreds of cavalry waiting in full formation, he suddenly felt despair in his heart.
"Hahahaha." Cao Hong suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter was miserable, but also tragic.
"The general will inevitably die on the battlefield. Today is the day for me, Cao Hong, to die. Kill." It was just a laugh. Then, Cao Hong roared fiercely, holding a long knife, and rushed out on horseback.
