Han Hao slapped his horse and ran away, leaving thousands of Cao soldiers behind. Their morale was suddenly depleted and everything fell apart.

Cao's soldiers lost their will to resist, abandoned their helmets and armor, and fled into the mountains and forests desperately.

These Cao soldiers were lucky. Fortunately, they had been fighting in the Sili area all year round. They chose to escape into the mountains and forests, which made it difficult for Zang Ba's army, who were not familiar with the local geography, to pursue them.

Having achieved his goal, Zang Ba did not bother to kill any more enemy troops and immediately ordered the entire army to stop the pursuit.

It's just a matter of ordering all the soldiers to kill the enemy with their longbows.

In this ambush battle, three thousand of the enemy were killed, and more than five hundred soldiers were captured. The rest of Cao's army scattered like birds and beasts, and fled into the mountains and forests.

Zang Ba continued to attack without stopping, joining the thousand soldiers and horses in front.

At this time, Jiang Jindu's 5,000 defenders heard that the legion led by Han Hao himself had been defeated, and that he himself had been wounded and fled. The entire camp was in panic, and there was no way to fight again.

Heart.

Even though there were five thousand Cao's troops, they lost their will to resist and hurriedly abandoned the city and joined the defeated team.

Zang Ba only encountered slight resistance and easily occupied Jiangjindu.

Jiangjindu has now developed into a large or small town.

Zang Ba took the lead and led the army into the city. It was already late at night when the people were settled.

Zang Ba entered the enemy's original office and began to arrange the reception work.

One kilometer ahead of the small station.

Lu Bu, Cao Xing, Liu and the three generals lined up early to wait for Cao's army to attack.

Zhong Yao's army was galloping in. Facing the Chu army's already formed formation, they could only choose to stabilize their own troops first.

Zhong Yao looked over from a distance and saw a dark mass of soldiers in front of him, with a total of thirty or forty thousand troops. Zhong Yao knew that he had no choice now. If he chose to give up and retreat, then it was entirely possible for them to defeat the soldiers at the small station and cut off their own troops.

The way back.

Zhong Yao didn't think about it, and just said to the general Xu Zhi who was with him: "General Xu, the whole army is gathered and ready to attack."

In desperation, Xu Zhi looked at the current situation and immediately issued an order, and the entire army launched an attack in advance.

Then, the sound of war drums soared into the sky, tearing the silence of the quiet sky. More than 50,000 Cao's troops rushed out from the front, shouting, and surrounded Lu Bu, Cao Xing, Liu and his legions from all directions.

At this time, Lu Bu grabbed Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand and stared at the charging Cao Jun with interest with an expression of watching the excitement.

Lu Bu smiled at Liu He next to him and said, "Are you ready?"

"Ready."

"Then get ready!"

Liu He heard Lu Bu's order and urged his horse to retreat to the rear.

The 50,000 men of Cao's army who were approaching fiercely began to charge forward one after another.

Lu Bu looked at these Cao Jun troops galloping over, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Immediately, he reined in his horse and turned around, shouting loudly: "Cao's army is attacking, the whole army is retreating."

After the order was passed, Lu Bu and Cao Xing led their 20,000 troops and immediately withdrew in the direction of the small station.

Because the troops led by Lu Bu and Cao Xing were all Xiliang cavalry, his 20,000 cavalry could easily retreat before the 50,000 Cao army could encircle them, and retreat smoothly and calmly.

A quarter of an hour after Lu Bu's army "escaped", 50,000 Cao troops led by Zhong Yao and Cao Xing pursued them from all directions.

But, it's too late.

"Uu——Uu"

Zhong Yao pulled his horse and paused for a moment. At this time, Xu, who was charging beside him, asked: "Sir, why did you stop attacking?"

Zhong Yao said doubtfully: "Lü Bu is famous all over the world, not to mention that they have won consecutive battles. How come they chose to retreat before they even fought. I think there must be a reason."

Xu Zhiyuan looked at the enemy's situation and shouted: "Sir, the enemy has not fled far. We should lead the army to pursue and follow the enemy to retreat. Maybe we can defeat Lu Bu's army in one fell swoop. If they choose to retreat, we will

I think they saw that my 50,000 elite troops far outnumbered them, so they chose to retreat."

Zhong Yao still hesitated a little at this time and said: "Let's give up, or we can send out scouts to find out the news first, and then make a decision."

Xu Zhi said sternly: "My lord, I am willing to lead my troops to pursue you."

Zhong Yao saw that Xu Zhi was determined to pursue Lu Bu's army alone, and he was afraid that he could not dissuade him. If Xu Zhi's army was annihilated, they would probably be defeated one by one.

Zhong Yao weighed it a little and said boldly: "Okay, let's chase them out. I don't believe that our Chang'an Army can't defeat the Chu Army."

Under the dual influence of anger and pride, Zhong Yao and Xu Zhi immediately mobilized an army of 50,000 to pursue Lu Bu's army. They continued to pursue Lu Bu's army all the way.

A small hill 500 meters in front of the small station.

On a small hill, Lu Bu was standing on his horse, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd tightly in his hand, quietly watching the situation down the hillside.

Under the setting sun, the towering body like an iron tower and the iron armor reflected the afterglow, and the whole body was filled with an aura of calmness and self-power.

Behind him, more than 20,000 Xiliang cavalry, like the lifeless terracotta warriors and horses, stood silently in the afterglow of the setting sun.

In the silence, everyone's face was filled with passionate excitement.

Footsteps sounded, and a troop of soldiers and horses could be vaguely seen passing by on the dirt road.

At that moment, the night was so deep that Lu Bu could not clearly see the situation at the bottom of the mountain. Despite this, he did not order an attack, but he seemed to be confident that he could tell whether the troops in the darkness were friends or foes.

However, soon, a team quickly left and the earth returned to calm.

But the calm did not last long. Not long after, another team hurriedly passed down the hillside.

Not long after, suddenly, howls erupted from the team at the foot of the mountain.

The screams one after another tore through the silence of the night.

Lu Bu raised his sword eyebrows, and a fierce light suddenly appeared in his calm eyes.

The time to attack has come.

Lu Bu sent an order: "Send the order and tell Liu He to start!"

The soldiers of Cao's army at the bottom of the hillside began to panic. The reason for their panic was because everything in front of them was fences and antlers.

Xu Zhi shouted: "Brothers, the enemy is right ahead. As long as we break through this obstacle, we will win."

All Cao Jun soldiers began to use their swords and guns to slowly cut off the fences and antlers, because the antlers on the ground and the fences were so dense that after they entered, they were densely packed and could not all

Pull it out, and at this time, if someone attacks them with a long arrow or from a distance, they will have no power to fight back.
