Chapter 25, the first show failed, Liu Bei who fell from the horse
North of the Huai River, the two armies of Cao and Liu were fighting fiercely in front of the formation.
A big man in black armor, with a snake spear in his hand that danced like a windmill, blocked Cao Jun in front of the big man. In an instant, more than a dozen people were stabbed from their horses by him.
Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's third younger brother, acted like a mad tiger when he heard that his eldest brother had been humiliated. Within a moment, he had already led his troops into Cao's army's formation.
On the hillock, Cao Cao gently brushed his beard and sighed when he saw Zhang Fei's fierceness.
"In the past, when the Jujube Allied Forces were marching to the west, I heard that Liu Xuande's subordinate Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide were both rare in the world. Ten thousand enemies are rare. Today, when I saw them, they looked like tigers and leopards."
"I am afraid that the other generals in our army will not be able to defeat this person. Only Dian Wei who is beside Datong can lead him!"
Cao Cao felt this, and several generals around him lowered their heads in shame, but Xun Yu smiled slightly and looked at Guan Zhiwei with disdain.
"Ming Gong, if you are a general, you can enforce orders and prohibitions. Only when you advance and retreat in a controlled manner can you be a great talent!"
"The Zhuozhou butcher, the bloody butcher is not a great talent who can stand alone. Our army is scattered and it will be dangerous if Liu Bei's troops are restrained and slowed down, and then the tiger generals charge into the formation!"
"Such a sweeping attack, although it looks smooth, actually the other army has no chance of victory!"
Xun Yu's words won Cao Cao's heart. He stroked his beard and nodded slightly.
As expected, Cao Jun was in the vanguard, Cao Renshi Huan rode up to meet him, and Zhang Fei was unable to advance any further for a while.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu rushed forward vigorously. Liu Bei saw the Xuzhou soldiers waiting and pointing their swords toward Cao's army. The Xuzhou soldiers who were all over the mountains and plains also rushed forward together.
Liu Bei's army, infantry and cavalry, had no cooperation, and they fell to pieces when they charged.
Taishi Ci frowned, reined in his horse and leaned next to Liu Bei, who was full of excitement and felt that today was the day he came to the throne.
"Mr. Xuande, Cao's army defeated Ji Ling. In fact, there was no loss. Our army moved forward because Cao's thieves could not form their formation!"
"When we rush forward like this, Xuzhou's soldiers are even more scattered than Cao's army. This, this is inappropriate! Don't you know that Duke Xuande has been a soldier for half his life?"
Taishi Ci was so impatient that he couldn't help but hold Liu Bei's arm with one hand.
"Ziyi, if Cao's thief energy is exhausted, what backup plan can he use?"
"Everyone, rush forward. The man in red robe and short beard is Cao Cao! Whoever kills Cao Cao will be rewarded with a thousand taels of reward, and he will be made the Duke of Xuzhou!"
Liu Bei shook off Tai Shici's hand as if he had been beaten to death, and his swords whirred above his head!"
When Taishi Ci saw Liu Bei being so excited, the corners of his eyes twitched, with a look of disappointment on his face.
He couldn't help but sigh loudly: "Is this the hero of the world? Like Meng Lang? He's just a brave ranger!"
He didn't know that Liu Bei's big ears twitched violently when he heard these words, obviously he could hear them clearly!
Liu Guan and Zhang Buqu took the lead, followed by Xuzhou's soldiers, and rushed into Cao's army's formation.
At this time, most of Cao Cao's troops who had gathered Ji Ling's supplies had rushed back to form formation in front of Cao Cao.
Cao's army always had elite Qingzhou soldiers with large shields and halberds in front. Although Liu Guan and Zhang Bu Qu rushed to the ground, they still entangled the Xuzhou soldiers to prevent Liu Bei from entering Cao Mengde's body.
"Ming Gong, it's almost time. Liu Bei's momentum has waned. His army's rear group has become unorganized. It's time to join forces to attack!"
Seeing the stalemate between the two sides, Cheng Yu spoke slowly behind Cao Cao.
"Beat the drum and order Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong's army to clash with Liu Bei's rear army!"
Cao Mengde also saw the fighter plane coming, his eyes twitched and he said in a deep voice.
"Rumble!"
The thundering drums sounded on the hillock behind Cao Cao, and the sound of rustling branches and leaves in the grove behind Liu Bei's army mixed with the neighing of war horses made people feel chilled.
"Big-eared thief, watch me take your head and deliver it to Mr. Datong. Mr. Bo will smile!"
In the woods on the left, the straight-tempered Cao Hong, holding a big ax and shouting curses, had already charged into Liu Bei's army.
"You deceiver and thief, I will cut off your head today to see how long your tongue is and how dark your heart is!"
On the right side of Liu Bei's army, Xia Houyuan was galloping on his horse. He had a short bow fully drawn on the horse. With a "swish" sound, the arrow shot like a meteor and hit Liu Bei's arm.
The poor emperor's uncle thought that he had fallen off his horse without killing anyone in the Kunyang battle, and he could still hear the exclamations of countless Xuzhou nobles.
"Holy shit, this is Liu Da'er who fought against Lu Bu among the three heroes? Is this martial arts really ordinary?"
"Is the Hebei guy dead? Brothers, run away!"
Liu Bei's army fell into chaos.
Guan Yu was standing on horseback with his sword drawn and his eyes slightly narrowed. Just when he was full of momentum, he heard the shouts of the troops and was so frightened that he was so frightened that he was sweating on his forehead and rushed towards the place where his elder brother fell.
Xia Houyuan was overjoyed when he saw the success of one arrow, and shot several more arrows.
Before Liu Bei could wait, the arrow was knocked aside by another arrow in the air.
It turned out that it was Taishi Ci who saved Liu Bei's life with his bow and arrow.
"If you block Cao Cao's thief after you cut off, be careful of Guan's sword!"
Guan Yu rushed over like flying and pulled Liu Bei, who was ashamed and had an arrow in his arm, onto his horse.
Second brother Guan is cold and arrogant, looking down on everyone.
In his opinion, Taishi Ci's rescue of Liu Bei was a matter of course, and he scolded the captain of Jianchang as if he was commanding a servant!
"you!"
Taishi Ci did not expect that he would be humiliated by the same person again in Pingyuan County. His hands and feet were so cold that he wanted to raise his hand and shoot Guan Yu off his horse first.
He glanced over and saw that Liu Bei's Xuzhou Army, which had been extremely fierce just now, instantly fell into chaos as Cao Jun attacked from the side. Comrades screaming and falling were everywhere. He suppressed his anger and stood behind the army with bows and arrows.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Xia Houyuan, who was eager to capture Liu Bei, used his famous chain of arrows. Three consecutive arrows were knocked down by Tai Shici's arrows while they were still in the air.
In Cao's camp, Zhang He is still in Hebei, and Xia Houyuan's divine arrow has never been matched by anyone.
Xiahou Miaocai looked intently, and saw a white-robed general across from him, his sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes full of heroic spirit. He held a few arrows in his hand and his eyes shone brightly. He couldn't help reining in his horse and secretly shouting a good word.
"Who are you? Do you have this skill with arrows? Are you trying to trick Liu Bei?"
"I am Tai Shici of Donglai, and I am the captain of Jianchang under Tao Qian. You are Xia Houyuan, right? Where can I help you move forward today?"
"Come on, it would be best if one of you and I fall down here today!"
Taishi Ci shouted angrily.
Seeing his aggressive momentum, Xia Houyuan liked him even more. He actually put down his short bow and stood on his horse, smiling and shaking his head.
"You are a general of Xuzhou and can be considered a hero of the world, but why do you sacrifice your life for Liu Xuande? This man's existence is not a blessing to all people, but in fact a disaster, not necessarily under Dong Zhuo!"
"General, just think carefully!"
Because of Fang Guang, no one in Cao Ying's generals thinks highly of Liu Bei now.
In front of Taishi Ci, General Cao reined in his horse and turned around. He stopped chasing and put down his bow and arrow with trembling hands.
He deliberately refuted Xia Houyuan's words, but the figures of the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang flashed in his mind, and he couldn't refute a word!
