Chapter 602 Killing you, abandoning your robe and cutting your beard
The Qinglong sword, bowed left and right, harvested the heads of Cao's soldiers like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
That unparalleled heavy sword, anyone who hits it will either be cut into two pieces or smashed into pieces.
Yan Liang went straight into Cao's camp and was invincible. His troops were killed all the way. Cao's army on the southwest front line had collapsed.
Walking on a bloody road, fighting in the morning light, Yan Liang saw Zhu Huanzheng fighting with an enemy general in the chaos of the army.
But seeing the two cavalry turning around like a revolving lantern, Zhu Huan's silver spear was dancing like the wind, forcing Lu Qian to just deal with it. However, the two of them fought for more than 20 times, but it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.
"Xiu Mu, I'm here to help you kill this thief general." Yan Liang used his horse and wielded his sword to kill the rebel army, and went straight towards Lu Qian.
When Zhu Huan saw his lord approaching, he couldn't help but feel confident, and doubled the strength of the gun in his hand.
When Lu Qian saw Yan Liang killing him, even before the battle, he was already heartbroken.
Who is that? That is the legendary Yan Liang.
In the Battle of Nanyang that year, Yan Liang's reputation as a powerful opponent of four fierce generals in Cao Ying's camp has made Cao Ying's generals deeply afraid to this day. Although Lu Qian did not participate in that battle, he was already deeply afraid of Yan Liang's martial arts.
.
Now he couldn't even defeat Zhu Huan in front of him. At such a critical moment, Yan Liang came to kill him again. Yan Liang's appearance immediately made Lu Qian lose all confidence.
Once he lost his confidence, his sword skills gradually became scattered. Lu Qian did not dare to fight anymore, so he turned his horse and fled.
Yan Liang, who was killed with a diagonal thrust, seemed to have already expected that the enemy would flee. When his horse was still in the middle of the road, he cut off towards the enemy's predicted escape route.
Lu Qianfang turned around. Before his horse could escape even five steps, he suddenly felt a wave of murderous intent coming from his left side. He glanced sideways. He was shocked to see Yan Liang shoot at his hand like a bolt of black lightning.
What shocked Lu Qian even more was that the blade in Yan Liang's hand turned out to be Guan Yu's Green Dragon Sword!
Guan Yu served Cao Cao back then. As a general in Cao Cao's camp, Lu Qian naturally saw Guan Yu's majesty and was deeply impressed by the heavy green dragon sword.
Seeing that the Green Dragon Sword was in Yan Liang's hands, Lu Qian realized that not only had Guan Yu been defeated by Yan Liang, but the divine weapon, the Dragon Sword in his hand, had also been taken away by Yan Liang.
"Defeating Guan Yu and capturing Qinglong, Yan Liang's martial arts is actually so strong..."
Before the frightened Lu Qian could think about anything, Yan Liang was already killing him like lightning. The green dragon knife in his hand swept up the blood and dust in the sky and took Lu Qian's head straight from his neck.
Lu Qian had no choice but to raise his hands and use all his strength to resist the raging sword.
Even those who don’t know their own abilities dare to fight!
Amidst the loud shouts, Qing Xi's knife was rolled in like lightning.
throat
There was a thundering metal sound, and Lu Qian, who was hit so hard, couldn't resist it at all. He and his knife were thrown out, and blood was spurting from his mouth while he was in mid-air.
Fang Zi landed on the ground, and before he could struggle, Yan Liang's majestic body had already pounced on him, raised his ape-like arm, and cut him off mercilessly with another knife.
But there was a muffled sound of "poof", and Lu Qian's head splashed out among the blood.
Zhu Huan, who had been unable to defeat Lu Qian in dozens of battles, saw Yan Liang behead an enemy general with just one move. Witnessing this astonishing scene again, Zhu Huan could not help but be amazed and convinced by Yan Liang's martial arts.
However, Yan Liang was as disdainful as killing a chicken or a dog. He just raised his sword and shouted: "Xiu Mu, this place has been destroyed. Move your troops and horses to the south to surround the main camp. Don't let Cao's thieves escape."
Zhu Huan's fighting spirit became stronger. He raised his gun and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to kill, and capture the Cao thieves alive for our lord!"
Thirty thousand red-eyed tigers and wolves killed the defeated Cao army, and the violent torrent continued to rush towards the south.
…
To the south, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning's 20,000 troops were still attacking the enemy's camp gates.
However, the three generals Le Jin, Li Dian and Xu Chu, with their own bravery and 20,000 elite Cao troops, were able to successfully block Yan Jun's attack.
Cao Cao, who was standing on his horse, was watching the battle calmly. The initial shock in his brows had gone, and he had regained his composure.
Until this time, Cao Cao still didn't know that the army attacking Longxi was just a feint attack by Yan Liang. He didn't know that it was Yan Liang's entire army who launched the attack today.
The morning sun was rising and the vision was getting clearer. Cao Cao was already planning a counterattack after dawn.
"The traitor Yan was so arrogant that he dared to use a small force to attack a large force. He really underestimated the adaptability of our Cao family's army. After daybreak, the prime minister struck back hard and defeated him in one fell swoop."
Cao Cao slightly stroked his long beard, his scorched face showing some confidence.
At this moment, a horse galloped from the direction of the Southwest Camp, and the scout shouted: "Reporting to the Prime Minister, the Southwest Camp was attacked by 30,000 Yan troops. The situation is critical. General Lu asked the Prime Minister to send troops and horses quickly for reinforcements."
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao's expression immediately changed, and he suddenly showed surprise and suspicion.
"Yan's army only has more than 30,000 troops in total. How can the enemy in the southwest have 30,000 troops?" Cao Cao asked back.
Just as the shouts of questioning subsided, another horseman rushed up and exclaimed: "Prime Minister, Yan's army has broken through the southwest camp. General Lu was killed by Yan Liang. The enemy is coming towards my main camp."
If Cao Cao was just shocked and suspicious before, then this bad news suddenly shocked Cao Cao to the point of shock, and his face was full of astonishment.
Not only Cao Cao, but also the civil and military personnel in Cao Cao's camp were all stunned.
Everyone raised their eyes and looked into the distance, and sure enough they saw that fire was raging into the sky to the southwest, and the defeated soldiers were fleeing in embarrassment. After the defeat, Yan Jun's banners were overwhelmingly chasing them.
"How is this possible, how is this possible..." Cao Cao murmured in shock, unable to figure out this incredible thing.
At this time, Guo Jia was suddenly shocked and said anxiously: "Prime Minister, now it seems that there is only one possibility, and that is that Ma Dai's troops who attacked Longxi County are just an empty army. There are no thirty thousand soldiers at all."
Everyone, we have fallen into Yan Liang’s plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.”
A plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
These eight words, like a thunderbolt, broke up the chaos in Cao Cao's mind and flashed the truth ruthlessly before his eyes.
Cao Cao, who was familiar with the art of war, instantly realized that what Guo Jia said was right. Otherwise, how could he explain why Yan Liang had 30,000 extra troops out of thin air?
Cao Cao suddenly realized that he painfully realized that he had once again fallen into Yan Liang's trap.
Feeling ashamed and angry, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said angrily: "The traitor Yan dares to tease me like this. It's really hateful. I will fight him to the death today!"
In his rage, Cao Cao lost his mind and wanted to fight Yan Liang to the death in an unfavorable situation.
"Capture Cao Thief alive"
"Capture Cao Thief alive"
The loud shouts of killing were approaching like a tide and soon drowned out Cao Cao's angry words.
But seeing the southwest, Cao's army collapsed one after another. The forwards of Yan's army were dozens of steps away, and the big flag with the word "Yan" was flying among the rebels, which shocked the morale of Cao's army.
The southwest front line suffered a defeat. The morale of Cao's soldiers at the south camp gate was greatly reduced, and the battle dropped sharply.
At this moment, even at the front line of the main entrance, Cao Jun seemed to be defeated and showed signs of being unable to withstand Yan Jun's attack.
Defeat is a foregone conclusion.
Seeing this, Guo Jia calmly advised: "Prime Minister, victory or defeat is a common matter for military officers. The Prime Minister is bound to the country, how can he put himself in danger? Please order the retreat to Yangping Pass as soon as possible, and the whole army will not be able to fight Yan Liang again."
Late."
As soon as Guo Jia advised him, Xun You and others also gave him advice one after another.
Cao Cao was so angry. At this moment, he really wanted to fight Yan Liang to the death.
But if Cao Cao was such an uncool person, he wouldn't be alive today.
Seeing that the overall situation in the southwest has been decided and there is no way to make a comeback, Cao Cao had no choice but to bite the bullet and said bitterly: "Let the traitor Yan be wild for a few days today, and he will take revenge on the original prime minister. Send the order, and the entire army will retreat to Yangping Pass as soon as possible."
.”
After saying this, Cao Cao turned his horse around and retreated towards the north.
The other generals such as Yue Jin, Xu Chu, Li Tong, etc., after receiving Cao Cao's order to withdraw their troops, did not dare to fight again, so they all retreated.
Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Zhang Ren and other generals, each with their troops and horses, took advantage of the situation to break into Cao's camp and watched from all directions as Cao's defeated army pursued them.
The 60,000-faced army officers and men, like wild beasts out of their cages, pursued the enemy with great momentum.
However, the defeated Cao army lost their morale, abandoned their helmets and armor, and fled with their heads in their hands.
Under the protection of a group of Tiger Guards, Cao Cao had just escaped from the Beiying Gate, when a group of Yan troops rushed out from the diagonal stab.
At the front, the man who wields the green dragon sword and is as powerful as a god general is Yan Liang.
It turned out that Yan Liang was certain that Cao Cao could not reverse the defeat and would definitely choose to retreat to Yangping Pass. Yan Liang then asked Zhu Huan to lead an army to attack his southern camp, while he led the army to the north instead.
Just as Yan Liang expected, not long after running, he bumped into Cao Cao who had escaped from Beiying Gate.
At this time, Cao Cao only had more than a thousand Tiger Guards around him. Facing the tens of thousands of Yan troops who were chasing him, he was frightened.
What shocked Cao Cao even more was that among the flags chasing Yan's army, there was a general's flag with the word "Yan" in it, which proved that Yan Liang was actually leading his army to pursue him.
"The one wearing the red robe is Cao Cao, capture Cao Cao alive." The shouts of the Yan Jun soldiers who were chasing him were deafening.
Before this battle, Yan Liang had already issued an order that anyone who captured Cao Cao alive would be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold and be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.
Under such a heavy reward, the soldiers who were red-eyed about killing no longer bothered to kill ordinary Cao Cao's soldiers to gain military merit. Everyone had only one goal, to capture Cao Cao alive and perform miraculous feats to reach the sky in one step.
Cao Cao, who was running away, heard Yan Jun's cry and was shocked and his face turned pale.
Liu Ye, who was following him, urgently advised: "The Prime Minister's red robe is too obvious. Please discard the robe quickly to avoid being targeted by enemy thieves."
Being killed to the point of throwing away his shirt was so degrading to the dignity of a Han prime minister like Cao Cao. However, at this point, Cao Cao couldn't care less.
Without thinking much, Cao Cao hurriedly took off his red robe and threw it in the wind without hesitation.
Just when Cao Cao gave up his red robe, he heard Yan Jun shouting from behind: "The one with the long beard is Cao Cao, don't let Cao Cao go."
Cao Cao was depressed. He never thought that before the war started, Yan Liang ordered people to spread Cao Cao's portraits among the soldiers so that they could identify the targets to capture alive.
The frightened Cao Cao did not need Liu Ye to persuade him anymore. He quickly took out the dagger from his waist and cut off the beard that had been left for many years in two strokes.
Cao Cao, who had cut off his beard and discarded his robe, was like a frightened bird, and desperately fled on horseback.
