"Let me kill you. It's just now that we can make contributions."

Zhang Fei, waving Zhangba snake spear, stormed up. Behind him, thousands of Yuzhou soldiers followed Zhang Fei in morale and launched a fierce attack on the 5000 Cao army.

The 5000 Cao troops were caught in an ambush by the Yuzhou army, and their morale had been greatly depressed. After being shot by the Yuzhou army as fast as a rainstorm, the morale of the Cao army dropped sharply.

It was at this moment that Zhang Fei led his army into Lu Zhao's army.

"Hey, hey

He waved his sword, Zhang Ba snake spear, at this moment, it seemed that he really turned into a python who wanted to choose people, and swept away thousands of troops in the Cao army array. Even Lu Zhao couldn't resist Zhang Fei and other fierce generals. These Cao soldiers were more vulnerable to attack in front of Zhang Fei. They were attacked and flew out one after another.

"The general is mighty!"

Seeing that Zhang Fei was so brave, a snake spear was waved like no one was in the world, which greatly inspired the morale of the Yuzhou army. Thousands of Yuzhou army immediately launched a fierce attack on the 5000 Cao army of Lu Zhao, and only parried the Cao army, but had no ability to fight back.

"It's a trick, it's hateful!"

Lu Zhao is not a fool. Now he reacts and looks ugly.

The enemy is afraid to send out news on purpose, besiege general Xia Houdun in Shouchun City, and then attract reinforcements like himself to come and ambush on the way!

Thinking of this, Lu Zhao couldn't help biting his teeth: "don't fight the enemy, the whole army retreats!"

Lu Zhao was not a single minded general. Since he had seen through the enemy's plan, he could not entangle himself with the enemy. They are here to ambush you. If they see through the plot, they still don't go. What are you doing here?

After hearing Lu Zhao's order, Cao Jun, who had been in a bitter battle, showed a look of relief one after another and left without saying a word.

"Well, Hello, why are you so timid and run away?" When Zhang Fei saw Cao's escape, he immediately cried out. The purpose of the Cao army led by Xia Houdun was to prevent the invasion of Yuzhou army and Liu Bei's invasion of Shouchun. Therefore, it was natural to lead the army to intercept it.

Lu Zhao was different. He mainly came to save Xiahou dun. Although Xiahou Dun's army was trapped in the lonely city of Shouchun, since the enemy took general Xiahou as bait, he would not do anything to him in a short time.

We should retreat temporarily and wait until all the reinforcements arrive in Qi, and then we will join forces to deal with Liu Bei!

Lu Zhao quickly flashed these thoughts in his mind, and then left without saying a word.

Zhang Fei also wanted to kill Lu Zhao himself, stabbing Lu Zhao to death with a spear, and then quickly defeated Cao Jun. It turned out that Lu Zhao was so slippery that he ran away.

"Hum, kill me!"

Thousands of Cao's troops followed Lu Zhao and ran away, while Zhang Fei led the Yuzhou army in pursuit. The two armies were in front of each other. Cao's army did not know how many flags, golden drums and weapons left behind, so he ran away in a rolling manner.

Zhang Fei started to kill, and ran after him. At this time, a horse suddenly caught up with him.

"Three generals, three generals! My Lord has an order. Please don't chase and attack them. I'm afraid they will be ambushed by the enemy! " Come and shout to Zhang Fei.

When Zhang Fei heard the cry, he had to stop and yell: "the whole army should stop pursuing! Pick up the flag and golden drum left by the enemy and go back to the palace

...

"hurry up, hurry up!"

Lu Zhao runs forward, dishevelled and covered with sweat. His helmet has long been thrown away, but he only knows how to escape. Behind him were thousands of frightened Cao Jun, who had lost several things.

All right, stop

Feeling that there seemed to be no pursuers behind him, Lu Zhao ordered the whole army to stop. Looking back, he could not help sighing.

"What's the damage of our army? Go and count. "

"Here it is

After a while, the army Sima came back and reported to Lu Zhao: "Lu Xiaowei, there are still more than 3700 soldiers left in our army. The rest of them are killed and captured by the enemy, or they flee on the way."

"Alas..."

instead of rescuing Xia Houdun, Lu Zhao lost nearly one-third of the soldiers in vain, and Lu Zhao's face could not help looking ugly.

"Just... We will be stationed in the east of Shouchun for the time being, wait for reinforcements from all walks of life, and then we will launch an offensive against Liu Bei to help general Xia Hou." Lu Zhao thought for a while and made a decision.

After all, Lu Zhao did not dare to march into Shouchun again. After all, the army led by Liu Bei and Zhang Fei was a tiger in the way. How could they be their opponents?

According to the records of the annals of the Three Kingdoms · Wei Shu · biography of Xiahou of Zhucao, Xia Houdun was ordered to command 26 armies. When he rescued Fancheng, he had no more than seven troops under his command, which shows that Cao Cao valued Xia Houdun. However, this shows that Huainan has a strong military strength. In addition to the first part of Luzhao, many reinforcements are speeding up to march towards Shouchun."Ha ha, the second elder brother's strategy is really wonderful. If Lu Zhao didn't run fast enough, I would have caught him today!" Zhang Fei laughed.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "the third younger brother doesn't need to mind. I think Lu Zhao is not the only one among the Cao army's troops. Our army is waiting here quietly."

Therefore, in the next few days, Guan Yu surrounded Shouchun city without attacking, while Liu Bei and Zhang Fei ambushed the leading soldiers on the only way to Shouchun.

Although Lu Zhao warned on the periphery and held back several Cao troops who had come to help, there were still several Cao troops who ran into the encirclement of Yuzhou army, killing thousands of people.

"Now there are more than ten thousand people in our fourth Route Army. If we gather together, we can fight the enemy!" Zhu Ling exclaimed.

Lu Zhao shook his head and said, "no, the prime minister once said that Liu Bei is a great man, and both Guan and Zhang generals are generals of Xiong Hu. Liu Bei should not underestimate the enemy if he has the assistance of these two people."

Ren Jun worried: "what should our army do? Most of the troops in Huainan are here. Can we ask for help from Jiangdong or Xuzhou? Xuzhou was sent to the west by the prime minister. I'm afraid the military strength is very limited. "

Zaodi was also full of melancholy. Although he and Ren Jun had deep experience in Cao Cao's tent, they were not generals who were good at marching and fighting, but were officials specially responsible for garrison operations. Zaodi is a general of tuntian, and Ren Jun is a captain of tuntian. They are not good at leading the army at all. They can only look at Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao.

"Well, there are more than 17000 of our four armies assembled here! Even if you can't defeat the enemy for a while, you can camp in the wild and compete with Shouchun city! "
