Cao Cao endured the pain that was about to burst in his head, gritted his teeth, and instantly tightened his grip on the horse's reins, causing veins to pop out on the back of his hands.
The whole person looked ferocious and painful.
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with blood. He suppressed the pain of the waves of attacks and said quickly: "Retreat with all your strength to the north. Don't worry about Wan County. Leave Wan County first to get rid of Lu Xuan's pursuers."
The order was issued and the army continued to retreat.
Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Dian Wei, Ma Chao and others all withdrew one after another. However, when these people retreated, they did not retreat in a swarm. Instead, they cooperated with the tiger and leopard cavalry to cover the retreat of the army and fought and fought.
retreat.
This is the real elite.
If it were Cai Mao's troops, they would be desperate for wind to blow under their feet when they fled one by one. It would be impossible to fight and retreat while still maintaining the combat effectiveness of the army.
Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Huang Zhong and other generals led their troops in pursuit.
Beside them were cavalry.
Even though the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were elite, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were not charging into the formation, but coordinating Cao's army's evacuation. Therefore, when the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was coordinating the retreat, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu and Huang Zhong killed some of them.
A large number of cavalry continued to cover up and kill, entangled a large number of Cao's troops, and the situation was very unfavorable to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao looked back at the situation behind him. Lu Xuan's army was coming, and he could not effectively stop it. Especially since Cai Mao, a fool, surrendered, which resulted in Wan County, Nanyang County, being completely controlled by Lu Xuan.
Cao Cao shook his head and sighed, and retreated quickly, quickly evacuating the county. Even so, the cavalry led by Xu Chu, Huang Zhong and others still pursued Cao Jun so hard that Cao Cao could not get rid of him for a while.
By now, generals such as Dian Wei, Ma Chao, Cao Ren and Cao Hong have given up coordinating with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and ordered the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to retreat. They dare not stay to coordinate Cao's infantry for fear of being entangled and unable to evacuate.
When Cao Cao rode his horse and ran, he saw the cavalry chasing him getting closer and closer, and saw that there were fewer and fewer people around him. Especially when he suddenly discovered that Huang Zhong, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao and others were getting closer, Cao Cao also felt
He became more and more nervous.
Xu Chu had excellent eyesight, and when he was chasing after him, he suddenly saw Cao Cao.
He noticed the big flag next to Cao Cao.
This is the most representative.
Xu Chu roared and roared: "Cao Cao's commander's flag is in front. Where the commander's flag is, that's where Cao Cao is. Kill Cao Cao and capture him alive."
"Capture Cao Cao alive."
The chasing cavalry roared loudly.
The shouts spread all around.
The cavalry and infantry under Lu Xuan's command were all in high spirits. Now, they had won this battle and could finally catch up directly.
Lu Xuan's cavalry roared and sprinted to catch up, and Xu Chu sprinted even faster to further close the distance.
As a result, Cao Cao became increasingly nervous.
Fortunately, Cao Cao had a lot of experience in being chased, and his experience in retreating was no worse than Liu Bei's. He made a decisive decision: "Throw away the flag immediately, no need to carry it anymore, just retreat."
Cao Cao didn't care about the morale of the army now, so he threw away the flag as soon as he threw it. After all, the morale of the army had already collapsed.
Throw away the handsome flag and strive to travel light and simple.
The soldiers responsible for carrying the flag decisively threw away the flag, and Cao Cao and his party continued to evacuate.
Xu Chu's eyes fell on Cao Cao again, and he shouted further: "The one wearing golden armor is Cao Cao. Chase him and capture Cao Cao alive."
"The one wearing golden armor is Cao Cao. Capture Cao Cao alive."
The soldiers shouted again.
Cao Cao heard Xu Chu's words again and heard the shouts of Lu Xuan's soldiers, and secretly scolded Xu Chu for being too deceitful.
Fortunately, he looked at Xu Chu and thought he was a good guy.
He actually kept staring at him.
As Cao Cao galloped, he took off his golden armor, threw it directly on the roadside, and then continued to retreat. He was panic-stricken and felt aggrieved, but Cao Cao was unwilling to stop.
Once they stop, they will definitely be surrounded by Lu Xuan's army.
Cao Cao could only continue to evacuate.
Xu Chu chased after him, picked up the golden armor that Cao Cao had thrown away, and noticed that Cao Cao had a big beard under his chin. He shouted again: "The man with the big beard is Cao Cao. Capture Cao Cao alive."
The soldiers continued to spread messages and shout.
Lu Xuan's army kept roaring and continued to pursue further.
Cao Cao originally had a splitting headache. When he heard Xu Chu's words and found that the pursuers from behind were approaching further, he broke out in a cold sweat. He raised his sword and cut off the beard under his chin, and said loudly: "Retreat quickly, speed up your retreat."
.”
Dian Wei held up his iron halberd and said loudly: "My lord, please retreat first. I am humble enough to go to the back of the palace to stop him."
"No!"
Cao Cao glared angrily and said loudly: "As long as we escape, we can gather the fleeing soldiers and have a chance to stand up. Now if we go to the back of the palace to stop them, we will die."
Ma Chao, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others were all extremely angry.
They all felt humiliated.
Everyone gritted their teeth and retreated, leaving the people behind to chase and kill them.
As they retreated along the way, there were fewer and fewer soldiers around Cao Cao. Although there were still some Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers following him, most of the main infantrymen fled.
Cao Cao was approaching despair.
Are you really going to lose?
Could it be captured by Lu Xuan's people like this?
Unwilling to give up, Cao Cao suddenly urged his horses to go with all their strength. As Cao Cao retreated quickly, he saw smoke and dust suddenly rising on the official road in front of him, and a cavalry galloping towards them. Behind the cavalry, there were a large number of infantry.
The army advanced, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the crowd surged forward in a black mass.
"Cao Sikong, Liu Bei is here to help."
From the army at the front, the soldiers suddenly shouted in unison.
Cao Cao was evacuating quickly. When he heard the shouts from the front and saw the troops appearing in front, he immediately became excited. He immediately raised his sword and shouted loudly: "Our reinforcements are coming, fight them back."
.”
He immediately changed direction and took the initiative to attack.
After Dian Wei, Ma Chao, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Ang and others heard this, they all did the same and quickly counterattacked. In addition, Liu Bei's army was very fast. In the blink of an eye, the cavalry at the front had joined Cao Cao's army.
Liu Bei took Zhang Fei into the battle together and quickly began to charge.
Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, and Xu Chu were covering up the kill. They were rushing fast. The three of them were mainly followed by cavalry. A large number of infantry were still behind. It would take some time to catch up.
Huang Zhong was experienced and a veteran. Although he could not tell how many people Liu Bei had brought, seeing Cao Cao here, he was unwilling to retreat, so he looked at Zhang Liao and said loudly: "General Zhang, the army led by our lord is behind.
A large number of infantry will follow and kill them. Let's hold off Cao Jun and Liu Bei first. What do you think?"
"Okay, hold on."
Zhang Liao also responded decisively.
Xu Chu said nothing and just followed Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao. The three of them led the cavalry to attack the army brought by Liu Bei.
