When Cao Cao heard that Zhuge Liang was coming, he looked a little embarrassed. He seemed happy, but he seemed to sigh. Because in today's situation, Zhuge Liang's army involved in the battlefield, even if it can reverse the war, it means that Cao Cao's forces are not much left.
Even though Cao Cao was not afraid of Zhuge Liang's attack, he had no chance to contain Liu Bei's going south.
At that time, Liu Bei will seize Jingzhou.
On the surface, Cao Cao promised Liu Bei that after he captured Jingzhou, Liu Bei would be in charge of Jingzhou, but he only needed part of Nanyang County. But Cao Cao is not a good man. How can he let Liu Bei be a great man?
Cao Cao's wishful thinking is to transfer Liu Bei out of Yuzhou and weaken Liu Bei with the help of the war with Zhang Xiu, which makes Liu Bei need Cao Cao's help even if he wants to enter Jingzhou.
At that time, Liu Bei was in Jingzhou, while Cao Cao was stationed in the army. In this way, Jingzhou, under Liu Bei's control, is not afraid.
This is Cao Cao's plan.
But now it's not. It can only be Huanxi who can defeat Zhang Xiu.
At least he could avenge Cao Hong and Xia Houdun.
"Dong! Dong! "
The sound of war drums is getting closer and closer, and the sound is becoming more and more obvious.
Cao Cao didn't hesitate. He was always a decisive man. He began to shout for reinforcements and let his soldiers fight hard. Under the influence of Cao Cao, one by one Cao's soldiers, knowing that reinforcements were coming, all rallied themselves and began to attack again.
The original low morale, and even the situation that began to falter, completely changed.
"Kill, reinforcements are coming."
"Kill
"It's today to kill Zhang Xiu!"
……
One after another of the cries, constantly sounded.
For a time, Cao's morale was like a rainbow.
Zhang Xiu heard the drums of war in the distance. At this time, the cavalry quickly came to Zhang Xiu and reported: "Taiwei, there are a large number of troops on our right wing. The number of people coming here is about 20000. It should be Liu Bei's troops under the banner of Liu. "
"Is Liu Bei's troops Zhuge Liang's calculation?"
Zhang Xiu didn't expect that Zhuge Liang was making a fool of himself in the fire. At the last moment, he sent troops to kill him. He did not panic, said: "fortunately, we arranged the way back, Zhuge Liang wanted to kill, this time, Liu Bei and Cao Cao's army, together pit."
A war, the situation is unpredictable.
Even if the troops are well prepared, there may be crises or even accidents.
Therefore, we must arrange the way back.
The battle between Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao also prepared for the future. Even his back road is the same.
Zhang Xiu ordered: "summon, withdraw!"
Soon after the order was given, the sound of a Gong was heard.
The sound of gongs spread all over the battlefield.
"Get out, get out!"
After Zhang Xiu retreated, Huang Zhong, Sha Moke, Wang Yue, Zhao Yun and others all retreated. With the retreat of the people, all the soldiers under his command began to retreat like a tide, no longer love war.
The soldiers of the Cao army took advantage of the situation to kill themselves.
The reinforcements led by Zhuge Liang also stepped into the battlefield and killed the soldiers behind Zhang Xiu's army.
Zhang Xiu didn't take charge of the soldiers in the rear. He quickly came to the rear. After meeting with Sima Yi, he said, "Zhong Da, has the final arrangement been made?"
Sima Yi said, "don't worry, my Lord. It has been arranged properly."
Zhang xiuhan said: "if so, you leave first. You are not fit to participate in the final fight. "
"Here it is
Sima Yi was ordered to leave with a few soldiers.
With the retreat of the army, when Zhang Xiu's soldiers withdrew their legs, he began to order them to flee around to avoid being attacked on a large scale.
In addition, Zhang Xiu even let the soldiers throw away their weapons, take off their armor and run.
In this way, increase the speed of retreat.
This curtain fell in the eyes of Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the rear. Although Cao Cao was depressed and Liu Bei's troops had the advantage, he could not help laughing when he saw Zhang Xiu's soldiers flee on a large scale, and even many soldiers throw away their armor and weapons in order to run faster. His face was full of joy.
"Win, we win."
"Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu has today."
Cao Cao had a bright smile on his face and was very happy. No matter what the thoughts of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are, this battle is to defeat Zhang Xiu, and there is something joyful about it.
Liu Bei also clenched his fists and said in his heart: "third brother, do you see the spirit in heaven? Big brother is going to avenge you. Big brother, this time, will kill Zhang Xiu. "
However, with a smile, Ge Qiliang is on his way.
The crowd began to chase.
However, no matter Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xun you and others, or Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, sun Qian and others, they could not pursue them in person, so they did not rush to follow.Guan Yu, Lu Bu, Xia Houyuan, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others are leading the crazy pursuit. This pursuit, from morning till dawn, and towards noon, has been getting closer and closer to Xinye.
Guan Yu and Lu Bu, who are pursuing, give a loud order to speed up.
Guan Yu looked at Lv Bu and roared, "Lv Bu, hurry up. Now Xinye is likely to fall into the hands of Zhang Xiu. If you let Zhang Xiu escape back to Xinye City, it will be difficult to take Zhang Xiu down. "
Lu Bu snorted: "Guan Yunchang, you don't need to talk too much. In any case, this battle will be won and Zhang Xiu will be killed. Up to now, Zhang Xiu's forces are scattered, and the number of people around him is less than 2000 or 3000. If you look carefully, Zhang Xiu's troops are less and less. Under such circumstances, he can't escape. "
Along the way, Zhang Xiu's soldiers kept escaping.
However, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's forces did not separate their forces to pursue Zhang Xiu, because now they separate their forces to pursue Zhang Xiu, which will weaken their strength to pursue Zhang Xiu. For them, Zhang Xiu is the most important. As long as you catch Zhang Xiu, you will be better than a thousand troops. If Zhang Xiu is lost, even if tens of thousands of people are killed and thousands of people are captured, it doesn't make much sense.
"Pursuit, full speed pursuit!"
Guan Yu snorted and ignored Lu Bu, so he continued to order again.
Zhang Xiu led the troops to retreat quickly, and retreated forward nearly two quarters of an hour, came to a low-lying area. In this area, the terrain is open, with hills on both sides and turbulent water nearby.
Tuanshui, a branch of Mianhe River, passes through Xinye.
Zhang Xiu's army retreated to the ferry on the turbulent river bank. The army stopped and did not retreat. In the eyes of Lu Bu and Guan Yu, both of them are happy.
Zhang Xiu can't escape.
Guan Yu laughed and roared: "Zhang Xiu's desperate escape is desperate. He has no way to escape. To keep on running, you have to jump into the river. Zhang Xiu is dead. Ha ha ha... "
At this moment, Guan Yu was very happy.
Lu Bu is also happy, at this time, he raised his hand, did not let the soldiers under his command attack immediately, but let the soldiers under his command, surrounded Zhang Xiu and his party.
Lu Bu and Guan Yu rode forward.
Lu Bu raised his head, eyes fell on the front of Zhang Xiu, said with a smile: "Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu, I pity you are so powerful. Today, it is also in a desperate situation. How can you escape from this war. If you have the ability, jump into the river. If you enter the river and are washed away by the river, you may have a chance to survive. "
Guan Yu, too, was not in a hurry to kill. He gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Xiu, you are arrogant and domineering. Kill my third brother and capture Jingzhou. Where do you go today? "
Zhang Xiu's manner was self-contained, without any panic. He asked in a deep voice, "what about Cao Cao and Liu Bei?"
