Yan Liang shot out a bolt of black lightning, followed by five hundred iron cavalry, like a huge black iron spear, passing through the last touch of night before dawn and rushing toward the defenseless Cao camp.
The only ones left in the camp were Man Chong and 700 Cao Cao's troops.
Cao Hong believed Man Chong's plan and took away the elite main force of Cao's army. However, he was afraid that Man Chong would share the credit, so he left Man Chong to guard the camp.
Man Chong didn't mind. At this time, he was pacing in the tent, anxiously waiting for the news of Cao Hong's victory.
According to Man Chong's theory, it would be absolutely no problem for Cao Hong's four thousand elites to defeat Yan Liang's thousands of panicked men.
But at that time, several hours had passed since the troops were dispatched, but there was still no news of success, which made Man Chong gradually feel that something was wrong.
Suddenly, a soldier rushed into the tent and shouted in panic: "General, it's bad, there are countless cavalry from the north coming towards the camp."
"What?"
Man Chong was shocked, but he didn't believe it. He hurriedly put on his clothes and left the tent, riding his horse to the north of the camp.
When Man Chong saw the dust in the sky and heard the rumble of horse hooves, his face turned pale with shock, as if he had seen the most incredible and terrifying thing in the world.
They are Yan Liang’s cavalry!
However, he clearly did not go back to support Xinye, so how could he appear here? How could this be possible?
Man Chong was deeply shocked and had to admit that he had fallen into Yan Liang's scheme.
"This Yan Liang is so resourceful and resourceful that I fell into the trap twice. If I were defeated today, how could I still be alive!"
Horror, shame, and anger filled his chest. Under the critical situation, Man Chong had no time to think about it and had to order the frightened soldiers to quickly form a formation to fight.
It's too late.
Yan Liang's sneak attack came too suddenly, and the five hundred cavalry were all heavy cavalry wearing armor. This army was like a tank corps in modern warfare, and its impact and protection were almost terrifying.
The arrows fired hastily from Cao's camp lacked attack power and were few in number, and could not stop the charge of the five hundred heavy cavalry.
In an instant, the torrent of iron cavalry rushed towards them like black lightning, unstoppable.
Because we did not expect that the enemy would miraculously appear from the north, there were no trenches or antlers along the northern camp line. There was only a wooden fence, so how could it withstand the impact of the heavy cavalry.
Accompanied by the crackling sound of "click, click, click", Yan Liang and his cavalry smashed through the enemy wall like a torrent, and poured into Cao's camp like a flood.
Cao Jun, who was in the front row, was like a paper dummy. He was either knocked away by the cavalry or crushed into pulp. More than a hundred people died in an instant.
Yan Liang took the lead, with the sword in his hand dancing wildly, breaking into the camp and killing the frightened enemy wantonly.
Five hundred Hebei cavalry then entered, charging and killing the fleeing enemies. They even set fire to the wind and set fire to every enemy tent.
Cao's army of more than 700 people was killed in a blink of an eye, with almost all casualties.
Yan Liang saw Man Chong's figure from afar. He galloped his horse to cut a bloody path and rushed forward, shouting loudly: "Man Boning, I agreed to let you come back to make peace, why did you break your promise!"
While roaring, Yan Liang had already reached five steps before killing, and the long knife in his hand was shining with a frightening cold light.
The moment Man Chong saw Yan Liang, a complex expression of shame and anger appeared on his face.
Anger is about being defeated again at Yan Liang's hands, shame is about not keeping his promise.
Looking around, the defeat was decided. Man Chong knew that he was no match for Yan Liang and that if he took action rashly, he would just die.
He just gritted his teeth, turned over and dismounted, threw away the weapon in his hand, and simply sat there with his legs crossed and his eyes closed.
This look seems to be saying: If you want to kill or behead, please do as you please.
Seeing Man Chong's appearance, Yan Liang smiled.
The battle ended quickly, and the entire Cao camp was turned into a sea of flames.
"Bring General Man with you, I have some good shows for him to enjoy." Yan Liang waved his hand and shouted.
So Man Chong was tied up again.
The attack on Cao's camp was just the beginning. Cao Hong's 4,000 troops still needed to be dealt with. Yan Liang only ordered the soldiers to rest for a while and then ran south along the road.
Twenty miles away, a tough offensive and defensive battle continued.
Wenpin was indeed a good general. With only a thousand infantry troops, he was able to withstand the violent attack of Cao Hong's 4,000 troops.
However, Cao's army was outnumbered after all, and after a few hours of barely holding on, as the number of casualties among his soldiers increased, Wenpin gradually showed signs of being unable to hold on.
Cao Hong was very excited and said that if he worked harder, he would soon be able to defeat Yan Liang.
Just as Cao Hong's confidence doubled, a soldier in the army suddenly shouted: "Oh no, the camp is on fire!"
One person screamed, and his companions all around him turned around, and sure enough, they saw flames rising into the sky and thick smoke billowing from the direction of the camp to the north.
“The camp is on fire~~”
"The enemy has captured our camp!"
In an instant, most of the soldiers in the entire battalion saw the fire in the main camp. They were originally high in fighting spirit but fell into panic in the blink of an eye.
Cao Hong, who was determined to win, was also shocked by the sudden fire in the main camp. He could not figure out why the main camp caught fire.
Just when he was surprised, the dust rising from the sky behind him hit Cao Hong hard in the heart like a heavy hammer.
But as far as the eye can see, there are billowing dust and mist, and there are vaguely countless cavalry surging among them, roaring towards our army. The battle flag with the word "Yan" is flying high, stabbing all Cao's soldiers.
Terrified.
"Damn it, why did Yan Liang appear behind you? Could it be that I fell into his trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
Cao Hong was shocked and shocked, and he ordered his generals to divide their troops to attack the enemy coming from behind.
At this time, drums suddenly sounded loudly in the camp. Wenpin, who was originally defending, suddenly opened the camp door and led his troops to fight back.
"Kill Cao Hong!"
"Kill Cao Hong!"
Yan Jun, who had been fighting to the death for several hours, poured out all his anger, and the loud killing sounds frightened Cao Jun to the point of almost bursting with fear.
Being attacked from both sides, with the camp on fire, and such an unfavorable situation, even the most elite soldiers cannot withstand such a psychological blow.
Four thousand Cao Cao's troops were like ants that had broken out of their nest, not daring to fight again. They scattered and fled with their heads in their hands.
The army was defeated like a mountain.
Seeing the soldiers around him disintegrating like a tide, Cao Hong couldn't suppress it even by killing several people, and his position was in chaos in an instant.
Wenpin, who counterattacked, wielded his sword and rode his horse, and went straight to Cao Hong, shouting: "Cao Hong, you have fallen into the clever trick of my general Yan. Come and accept your life."
Cao Hong didn't have time to think too much, so he swung his knife to block the attack.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two of them made three moves in the blink of an eye, Wenpin's sword was as sharp as the wind, and Cao Hong was forced to respond.
If Yan Liang's martial arts is first-rate, the martial arts of these two men are second-rate. Their martial arts are not even close to each other. In a normal battle, it would be difficult to determine the outcome without going through hundreds of rounds.
But now that Cao Hong was defeated, he was frightened, and Fang was at a disadvantage as soon as they fought.
After more than a dozen moves, Cao Hong saw that the soldiers around him were getting fewer and fewer as they fought, and he was not interested in fighting. He feigned a few strikes and jumped out of the battle group when he found an opportunity. He turned his horse and fled towards the north.
Yan Liang in the dust and mist is riding his horse like flying.
After a night of galloping back and forth, many of the horses were so tired that they foamed at the mouth and lost the ability to continue fighting. In fact, the cavalry led by Yan Liang at this time was only more than 300 people.
Yan Liang had an idea on the way and ordered his soldiers to tie branches to the horses' tails and raise large amounts of dust to create the illusion of thousands of horses.
Seeing Cao's army defeated, Yan Liang knew that his strategy had indeed worked.
The enemy army had been defeated, and there was no need to hide anymore. Yan Liang then ordered the knights to remove the branches from their horses' tails and charge towards the oncoming defeated army.
Three hundred iron cavalry, like ghosts emerging from the underworld, fought out of the billowing dust and mist.
Yan Liang took the lead and swung out the sword in his hand. The bright light splashed and cut an oncoming enemy cavalry into two pieces.
The blade of the knife is carried by the hunting wind, dancing in all directions like the autumn wind sweeping down fallen leaves.
In the cold light, blood spurted out and severed limbs were scattered.
As the iron cavalry passed by, a long trail of blood stretched from south to north like a scarlet carpet.
In the blood mist, Yan Liang glanced around with his blade-like eyes, and caught a glimpse of an enemy general in golden armor who killed several of his own soldiers in the rebel army. His martial arts was quite impressive.
Yan Liang guessed that the enemy general must be Cao Hong, so he sneered, turned his horse to cut a bloody path, and killed Cao Hong.
