Cao Cao looked up to the sky and sighed, feeling extremely sad.
The remnant soldiers under his command were so frightened that their legs were trembling.
At this time, Guo Jia, who was in ragged clothes, rode his horse forward and said with cupped hands: "Prime Minister, please don't despair. I see that Yan's army came here in light armor and was not equipped with heavy weapons. Now if my entire army concentrates on attacking him,
Maybe we can break through their formation and find a way out."
Guo Jia's calm analysis gave desperate Cao Cao another glimmer of hope.
At that moment, Cao Cao gritted his teeth, got on his horse, raised his hands and shouted: "Soldiers, the road from now on is dead. If you don't rush out, you will die. Follow the truth and rush with all your strength to fight a bloody path."
Under Cao Cao's encouragement, the last potential of these dying men was unleashed. The eight hundred men gathered their spirits and roared in unison with grief and indignation.
"kill--"
Following Cao Cao's loud shout, more than 800 people formed a turtle-shaped formation, like a desperate bull, rushing towards Deng Ai's army blocking the road.
Deng Ai stood up with his spear raised and shouted: "Da Sima has ordered that anyone who captures Cao Cao alive will be rewarded with thousands of gold and be granted the title of Marquis of ten thousand households. Brothers, please don't let Cao Cao's thieves escape."
"Capture Thief Cao alive——"
"Capture Thief Cao alive——"
Thousands of lightly-armed Yanjun soldiers raised their arms and shouted wildly, tightly holding the Huanshou sword in their hands, and prepared for the attack.
In an instant, 800 Cao Cao's troops rushed forward and attacked the weakest point of Yan's army blocking the road.
Amidst the screams, Yan's army surrounded and attacked from all sides. Cao Cao's army protected Cao Cao and rushed forward desperately without looking back.
Just as Guo Jia said, Deng Ai's troops took a long way from Yinping to the south of Yangping Pass to stop Cao Cao.
In order to arrive in time, Deng Ai ordered his soldiers to travel lightly, without heavy weapons such as spears and shields. The soldiers only held light weapons such as the Huanshou Dao for close combat.
For this reason, although Yan's army was numerous, the eight hundred Cao's troops were determined to die and concentrated on breaking through from one point. Yan's army was really unstoppable.
Deng Ai, who was eager to achieve great results, saw Cao's generals rushing through his defense line. He couldn't help but feel furious. He rushed up with his horse and spear, yelling at his soldiers and rushing to surround and kill him in all directions.
Seeing that Cao Jun's desperate bull was about to cross his formation, Deng Ai turned his eyes and hurriedly hung up the silver spear and took off the hard bow.
Scanning the enemy with eagle eyes, Deng Ai spotted an elderly enemy general among the enemy. Although he did not recognize Cao Cao's face, he saw that all Cao Cao's soldiers were desperately protecting him, so he expected that he was probably
That's Cao Cao.
The bow was opened like a crescent moon, and the arrow came out like a shooting star. Only the sound of the string was heard, and the sharp arrow flew out from the string, carrying the sound of breaking wind, and went straight to Cao Cao's door.
At this time, Cao Cao was trying to break through the siege with all his heart. When he heard the sound of breaking wind coming towards him, he was unable to dodge.
A ray of cold light came straight towards me.
"Ah——" Cao Cao screamed, and the arrow hit him right in the middle.
Deng Ai's arrow was able to hit Cao Cao's face, and his archery skills were extremely superb. If it had missed even slightly lower, this arrow might have killed Cao Cao.
It's a pity that this arrow hit Cao Cao's heart. Although it smashed his mouth, the two broken front teeth took away the power of the arrow and saved Cao Cao from piercing his throat and dying.
tragic.
Even so, Cao Cao, whose front teeth were shot off, had blood spurting out of his mouth and was so painful that he couldn't sit still and his whole body fell off the horse.
Cao Cao's army was so frightened that they had to stop their advance, surrounded Cao Cao, and tried their best to protect him.
Deng Ai took advantage of Cao's army's delay and commanded his soldiers to advance from all directions and surrounded 800 Cao's troops.
Cao Cao's mouth was shot to bits and his front teeth were shot out. He fell to the ground with blood spurting from his mouth. He was so dizzy that he couldn't get on his horse for a moment.
In order to protect him, the eight hundred soldiers were surrounded tighter and tighter, and they were about to die together with Cao Cao.
At this moment, a loud cry of killing was suddenly heard from the north. A group of thousands of Cao's soldiers and horses suddenly came to kill the general and rushed straight towards Deng Ai's army.
The military commander in front was a yellow-bearded military commander, carrying a long halberd, and he was very powerful.
Cao Cao, who was in pain and despair, came to his senses at this time, climbed on his horse and scanned from a distance. When he saw clearly the general who was coming to kill, his desperate face couldn't help but show excitement.
"I, Huang Xu'er, are here, we are saved!" the excited Cao Cao shouted in a hoarse voice.
It turned out that the yellow-bearded general was none other than Cao Cao's third son, Cao Zhang.
Cao Cao was furious when he heard that Yan Liang had sent his adopted son Deng Ai to deafen Yin Ping. He sent Pegasus to summon Cao Zhang who was in Chang'an to help him fight.
After receiving the order, Cao Zhang led thousands of soldiers and horses southward day and night, and arrived at Yangping Pass today and tomorrow.
Cao Zhang originally stayed at the pass to rest for a day and then head south tomorrow, but he was eager to help Cao Cao in the battle, so he did not stay long before leaving the pass and heading south, hoping to rush to the southern camp.
However, he did not expect that not long after Cao Zhang came out of the pass, he encountered one of his own troops being surrounded. Cao Zhang did not know that it was Cao Cao who was being surrounded, so he immediately launched an attack with his entire army to rescue this friendly army.
Deng Ai was planning to surround and kill Cao Cao and accomplish great feats, but he didn't expect that such an enemy force would appear midway and spoil his good deeds.
Seeing thousands of Cao's troops approaching, Deng Ai did not dare to ignore them, so he had to scold his soldiers to form formations to block the attack.
In the blink of an eye, Cao's army arrived, and the two armies started fighting in the wild mountains.
Cao Zhang took the lead, sweeping his halberd from left to right. Wherever the halberd passed, heads were swept away like fallen leaves.
Not to be outdone, Deng Ai danced with the silver gun in his hand and made a rain of pear rain in the sky. Wherever the spear pierced, there were blood holes one after another, and the bloody wind flew behind him.
Among the rebellious troops, Deng Ai locked eyes on Cao Zhang, who was on a killing spree. Seeing that this enemy general had ruined his good deeds, Deng Ai was so angry that he galloped forward with his horse dancing and a gun.
When Cao Zhang arrived in Yizhou for the first time, Zhengye was eager to perform meritorious service and wanted to promote his reputation as a son of the Cao family. When he saw Deng Ai coming to kill him, he gave a loud shout and flew to greet him with flying halberds and flying horses.
The two men, riding on the wrong horse, crossed each other, and in an instant they were fighting together.
The shadows of guns were heavy, and the halberds were dancing like the wind. The two young generals showed off their knowledge in their lives and fought like a revolving lantern.
Deng Ai's marksmanship came from Wen Chou's guidance. Although he still lacked experience in battle, his aptitude was outstanding. When he used it at this time, a silver spear made him powerful, showing the style of a famous master.
Cao Zhang has been practicing halberd skills since he was a child, and his martial arts skills are extremely good. Unfortunately, like Deng Ai, he rarely has the opportunity to go into battle.
Now the two newborn calves collided with each other, and they were inextricably killed.
The two armies fought in a melee, with no winner or loser.
But this is not the key. The key is here. Cao Cao and his 800 remaining soldiers took advantage of the melee between the two armies and the weakening of the siege to fight to the death. Finally, they broke out of the siege and fled to the north.
Cao Cao, who escaped and ascended to heaven, saw his son showing off his talents. He was thankful and even more pleased.
After calming down, Cao Cao watched the battle situation from a distance and found that Yan Jun's formation had been disrupted by the internal and external torn, and in terms of strength, Yan Jun seemed to be inferior to Cao Zhang's troops.
The opportunity was right in front of him. Cao Cao hated being defeated by Yan Liang, so he wanted to take the opportunity to kill Yan Liang's army and save his face.
At that moment, Cao Cao endured the severe pain in his mouth and sent Pegasus to supervise the battle and ordered them to fight bravely. They must annihilate Yan's army here and kill Yan Liang's fake son to avenge the bloodshed.
Cao Jun's counterattack put Deng Ai, who originally had the upper hand, at a disadvantage. His thousands of troops were likely to be surrounded by Cao Jun.
And the Cao Zhang in front of him was not inferior to him in martial arts, so it was difficult to defeat him in a moment.
Suddenly, the situation began to change rapidly towards Deng Ai's disadvantage.
"I was ordered by my adoptive father to intercept and kill Cao Cao. Who would have thought that such a yellow-haired boy would be killed on the way? Now Cao Cao cannot intercept and kill me. It seems that I may be counterattacked. If I lose my troops here,
, wouldn’t it be a disgrace to the reputation of my adoptive father..."
Deng Ai began to feel anxious. He was not afraid of a bloody battle, but was afraid that a slight mistake would damage Yan Liang's reputation.
In the distance, Cao Cao, who had lost two front teeth, was in shock. His originally miserable face regained some confidence, and his brows even showed a hint of pride from time to time.
"Hmph, Yan Liang, you thief. You have defeated me for a while and made me lose face. Now I will kill your pretense and make you taste what pain is. Haha——"
The pleasure of revenge in his heart became more and more intense, and Cao Cao couldn't help laughing loudly.
While I was laughing wildly, I suddenly heard the sound of cannons and shouts from the south, as if there were war flags all over the sky, coming overwhelmingly.
Cao Cao's laughter stopped, and the shock returned to his pale face.
When Fang Zi was astonished, a horse galloped over and shouted: "Reporting to the Prime Minister, more than ten thousand Yan's troops are coming to kill. The enemy troops are carrying the banner with the word 'Yan', as if Yan Liang is chasing him personally."
The killing is coming."
Yan Liang is here!
Cao Cao was shocked. The confidence he had just restored suddenly collapsed again.
Guo Jia said anxiously: "Prime Minister, now that Yan Liang's army has arrived, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time. It is best to ask the Prime Minister to quickly order the Third Young Master to escort the Prime Minister to Yangping Pass as soon as possible."
Cao Cao, who originally planned to annihilate Deng Ai and suffer a bloody shame, not only failed in his hopes, but also fell into a dangerous situation.
Cao Cao, who was frightened again, did not dare to think about any revenge, and did not think too much. He hurriedly called for gold to withdraw his troops. Before Cao Zhang could retreat first, Cao Cao was already retreating towards Yangping Pass under the protection of all the troops.
Cao's army, who was fighting a bloody battle, saw enemy reinforcements coming from the south, and then heard his own order to send gold, and his fighting spirit collapsed in an instant, and they all looked north and collapsed.
Cao Zhang, who was engaged in a fierce battle, had no choice but to attack a few halberds, jump out of the battle group with his horse, and follow the defeated troops to the north to escape.
At this time, Yan's army from the south was approaching like the wind. Who else but Yan Liang could be the first to leap on his horse and draw his sword? He was as powerful as a god general.
It turned out that although he sent Deng Ai to take a different route to intercept Cao Cao here, he then thought that this place was close to Yangping Pass and reinforcements were coming from Wan Pass, so Deng Ai's light army would be at a disadvantage.
Fearing that Deng Ai would make a mistake, Yan Liang immediately led his troops to pursue them all the way to the north after killing the enemy.
Unexpectedly, he bumped into Deng Ai who was surrounded here.
When Deng Ai saw his foster father arriving, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He galloped forward to meet him and shouted, "My foster father has arrived at just the right time. Cao Cao is not far ahead, and his bastard Cao Zhang is also there. If that kid hadn't appeared, , I have captured Cao Cao."
Yan Liang, who was in a majestic spirit, raised his sword and shouted loudly: "Then what are you waiting for? The whole army will go up to kill Cao Cao and his son alive -" (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels. !)
