Xia Houyuan didn't understand that once the enemy's reinforcements arrived, the few troops on his side would definitely be eaten. Yesterday, he learned the advantages and disadvantages of the Xiliang army. Not only were there more people than them, but they were also brave and good at fighting. If they were delayed here for another half day,
, once the reinforcements from the Xiliang Army arrive, they will not only be in danger.
Xu Rong has a square face, a slender beard under his chin, and his originally scorched face is now a little green. He is not a novice in the killing field who has experienced risks, but he has never seen a young junior who does not cherish his reputation so much.
The double attack between the two masters really made him feel that he was getting closer and closer to death.
The thrill of the sword strike just now was still vivid in his mind, and the battle was still going on. Xu Rong raised his head and looked at the place where the sword light flew up in shock and anger. Xu Rong snorted: "Let's see who kills whom first.
"Xu Rong charged forward with his horse. Under the momentum of the horse, when the two sides were about to approach, he suddenly jumped up from his saddle. Before Cao Zhi's blade could reach him, he grabbed the blade and thrust the steel spear in his hand towards Cao Zhi's waist.
Sweep.
When Cao Zhi saw the tip of the branch coming, he didn't move his body. As if a spring was installed on his waist, his whole body automatically slid to the side of the horse and hung on the side of the horse's belly, allowing Xu Rong to sweep it away.
At this time, Xiahou Dun had also arrived. He saw Xiahou Dun brandishing his spear and stabbing Xu Rong. Xu Rong dodged quickly, but Xiahou Dun's spear could never hit him.
After Xiahou Dun stabbed a few times with his spear, he also started to fight back. The steel spear flew left and right and stabbed out continuously. Xu Rong and the two of them exchanged several moves, but they only felt a numbness in their arms and felt a lot of difficulty.
The rain is falling, and the fighting continues. Every corner of the battlefield is filled with ruthless killings. People fall down every moment, shouting and screaming, and the rain of blood infects every drop of rain.
Suddenly, a drop of water splashed on the back of Xu Rong's hand. Xu Rong thought it was rain at first, but when he looked at the back of his hand, he saw a drop of blood. He was surprised. It seemed that during the fight, the two people on the left and right were unaware of each other.
Whoever scratched his face, Xu Rong's face was covered with blood, and he was fighting fiercely. This drop of blood naturally spattered from his face.
Xu Rong couldn't help but pant, and there was a look of fear in his eyes. Suddenly, the steel gun swung aside and stabbed Cao Zhi in the chest.
Cao Zhi called out "Okay", and with a bang, Cao Zhi got rid of the spear. Xu Rong seemed to have gone crazy, and regardless of defense, he stabbed Cao Zhi with his steel spear from left to right, causing Xiahou Dun's critical injury.
Xiahou Dun shouted loudly and tried his best to block the attack, but was unable to take the opportunity to fight back against Xu Rong.
However, Cao Zhi saw Xu Rong's true intentions. This guy had already begun to intend to retreat, but he was also extremely cunning. He knew that he could not fight against the two men's attack, so he came up with a plan to not defend but attack, forcing the opponent to retreat and then retreat.
On the other side of the river, there was his large army of soldiers and horses to support him.
Sure enough, in order to escape, Xu Rong ignored the weakness of his arms and flew out with the steel spear, hitting Xiahou Dun directly in the chest. Due to the sudden incident and the close distance between the two parties, he saw that the spear was about to hit Xiahou Dun. Suddenly he saw that Xiahou Dun was not as good as Cao Zhi.
It was so flexible that it could fly left and right on horseback. I saw that Xiahou Dun did not dare to wait for death. He rolled on the horse's back to avoid the tip of the spear, got up and down with the spear, swung the spear across, and pierced Xu Rong's calf.
Xu Rong jumped up again and struck Xiahou Dun on the shoulder with his spear. Xiahou Dun fell off his horse. Xu Rong quickly pulled out the spear and tried to hit Xiahou Dun on the head.
At the same time, Cao Zhi took advantage of the situation and Xu Rong concentrated on dealing with Xiahou Dun. The steel spear showed its flaws. When the steel spear struck Xiahou Dun, Cao Zhi suddenly deflected the blade and struck Xu Rong on the shoulder with a pop.
"Ah" sounds came from Xiahou Dun and Xu Rong's mouths at the same time, and they fell off their horses and rolled into the water.
Cao Zhi refused to give up. Since Xu Rong had fallen into the water, Cao Zhi's scimitar was limited in length. Cao Zhi simply put the knife in his hand and got off his horse, preparing to continue chasing Xu Rong.
Suddenly, there was a loud shouting in the woods behind him. Cao Zhi paused, listened attentively, looked happy, and shouted to the Yangzhou soldiers and Cao Cao's men who were fighting hard: "Reinforcements are here, our reinforcements are here."
." As he spoke, he brandished his machete and rushed towards the place where Xu Rong fell to the ground.
At this moment, everyone heard the killing cries of the warriors outside the forest. Xu Rong and the remaining Xiliang soldiers turned pale. The Xiliang soldiers even fought and retreated, like moving to the other side of the river.
Just as Xu Rong's thoughts were turning and he was panicking, Cao Zhi had already raised his sword to kill him. Xu Rong couldn't help but pick up his right hand from the water, raised his hand, and sprinkled a handful of muddy water, covering Cao Zhi's head and face.
Cao Zhi instinctively closed his eyes and stopped, waving the Persian Gulf knife in one hand, took two steps back, and hurriedly wiped his face with one hand. "Bah" Cao Zhi spat out the muddy river water in his mouth, opened his eyes, and found that
Xu Rong took this opportunity to escape and ran towards the other side.
Cao Zhi cursed: "You grandma Xu Rong, who is so shameless?" As he spoke, he raised his knife and chased after him two steps.
When the Xiliang soldiers saw their general fleeing, they had no intention of fighting anymore. They had retreated secretly just now, but now they were blatantly running back after Xu Rong.
At this time, Cao Ande's little head finally emerged from the woods, followed by the Yangzhou horse infantry who arrived as quickly as possible.
When the injured Xiahou Dun saw Xu Rong escaping, he immediately called for the newly arrived cavalry and infantry, and led his remaining men to chase after him with shouts and screams, driving the Xiliang soldiers behind and killing them.
The horse infantry who rushed across the river bank met up with Xu Chu's cavalry, and the killing became more vigorous. Since the Xiliang soldiers knew that reinforcements had arrived, they had no intention of fighting, so they retreated in defeat.
Xu Chu and others chased and killed them for a while, but remembering Cao Zhi's instruction "Don't chase the enemy when you are in trouble", he led his immortals to retreat back.
Xu Chu and Xia Houdun led their troops across the river to meet up with Cao Cao, Cao Zhi, Xia Houyuan and others. Cao Zhi took two steps to pursue Xu Rong but realized that he could not catch up with Xu Rong. He had already retreated to Cao Cao. He took the time to pull out the arrow for Cao Cao and sprinkled some golden sore medicine on him.
, and simply bandaged the wound.
When the troops were concentrated, Cao Zhi consulted Cao Cao's opinion and immediately retreated thirty miles before taking a rest in an open space.
Cao Cao's face was pale, and he was lying on a military bed. He was still confused by the frightening scene just now, and he was constantly frightened. This was only a few times in his first half of his life.
, not to mention that this tragic defeat was caused by him underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly.
Annoyance and regret filled Cao Cao's heart.
Cao Zhi's eyes were as bright as lightning, and he knew that Cao Cao was feeling uncomfortable. He squatted down to check Cao Cao's injuries, and said to comfort him: "Brother, if you keep the green mountains here, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. The loss of some troops and horses today is nothing, as long as
People safe is good."
Cao Cao looked at his younger brother and couldn't help but sigh. His younger brother has grown up and knows how to comfort people. In the past, he always worried about his younger brother's safety. This time, his younger brother, who was six years younger than him, actually saved his life. When he thought
Yuan Shao and others, who usually called him brothers, did not send anyone to reinforce him. He felt desolate in his heart and lamented: "Thanks to Azhi this time. If Azhi hadn't led troops all the way from Yangzhou to fight against Brother Yu, I would have been reborn in the next life."
Bye now."
Cao Zhi chuckled, regained his rare virginity, and said a little shyly: "Big brother, please laugh at me! Big brother has saved me several times, I should repay you once!"
