Chapter 220 Making things worse

Cao Jun's camp on the north bank of the Wei River.

Zhong Yao finally escaped from the Chu army's encirclement and interception at the cost of countless soldiers' lives.

The Sili captain had been thinking about the thrilling scene just now, thinking about Xu Zhi's head flying in front of him, and thinking about the scene where countless Cao soldiers were killed by Xiliang cavalry.

Zhong Yao comforted himself and said: "Whatever, after all, I am back alive. As long as I am still alive, I can command all the soldiers and horses in the entire Sili area to fight back."

Zhong Yao secretly rejoiced, whipped his horse whip even faster, and ran all the way towards the camp.

He led 50,000 cavalry out of the camp, and nearly half of them were intercepted and killed by Lu Bu and Cao Xing's troops. At this time, the remaining soldiers who followed Zhong Yao back were only more than 10,000 and less than 20,000 remaining soldiers.

Although more than half of his troops were lost, Zhong Yao did not lose despair.

Zhong Yao thought that he would choose not to stand out when he returned to the camp, and use his abundant food and grass to consume the enemy troops, and then use the enemy's food and grass to consume all the food and grass, and then attack the Chu army in one fell swoop.

He made up his mind to fight with the enemy.

Zhong Yao was thinking in his mind, and looked up, but saw the flickering fire ahead, and the camp was vaguely visible.

Zhong Yao breathed a sigh of relief and urged his subordinates, who had long since lost any energy, to speed up and rush towards the camp.

When they arrived outside the camp, a captain saw Zhong Yao under the commander's banner.

He held the sword on his waist tightly, and then shouted loudly, "The coach is back, quickly move the antlers and fence."

A leading soldier took the lead in urging the horse to come to the fence that had just been moved.

"Whoosh-whoosh"

The cold light flickered, the sound broke through the air, and a sharp arrow penetrated the darkness and shot out from the camp.

He only heard a "pop" sound, hitting him squarely on the forehead.

The leader who had survived the disaster didn't even have a chance to scream, so he stared at his eyes in shock and confusion and staggered to the ground.

Zhong Yao, who was about to urge his horse into the camp, was taken aback and reined in his horse in a hurry.

In an instant, a white light as bright as daylight lit up in front of his eyes, as if thousands of golden lights burst out in an instant, tearing the entire night apart.

The sudden bright light hit Zhong Yao and more than ten thousand remaining soldiers of Cao's army, making their eyes dizzy and difficult to open.

More than ten thousand people crowded outside the camp, raising their arms to block the light.

When Zhong Yao's eyes gradually got used to the stinging pain, and when he slowly lowered his arms, he saw clearly that countless torches had suddenly been erected in the originally silent camp.

Under the firelight, countless fierce eyes were staring at him.

Chu Army, that’s Chu Army!

Zhong Yao couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Endless fear swept through his body, and his originally ferocious face was full of confusion and fear.

"Chu Army, how could the Chu Army capture my camp?"

Zhong Yao buzzed and went blank. He could not understand what was happening in front of him.

At that moment, the camp door opened wide, and Ma Chao came out with his gun drawn, and said sternly: "Zhong Yao, you fell into our trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain. Now you are left with only these ten thousand defeated soldiers. How could it be possible?"

My opponent of the Xiliang cavalry, if you don’t get off your horse and surrender, how long will it take?”

All of this happened in Lu Bu's central army tent. Lu Bu, Xu Shu, Ma Chao and others jointly agreed to use comprehensive strategies such as attacking in the east and attacking in the west, besieging the city and recruiting reinforcements, dividing and encircling, and diverting the tiger from the mountain to defeat Cao's army in one fell swoop.

Just when Zhong Yao and Xu Zhi led the army to dispatch, Ma Chao led the Xiliang cavalry that had been repaired for several days and took advantage of the situation to capture Cao's camp.

At this moment, the truth was revealed. Seeing Ma Chao showing off his power, Zhong Yaofang suddenly realized it.

Zhong Yao, who came to his senses, couldn't help being shocked, and thought to himself: "I didn't expect that the seemingly brave and foolhardy Chu army could actually use so many strategies. If I hadn't listened to Han Hao, Xu Zhi

The suggestion of these two people is to choose the legion to enter the palace privately. I believe that if I adopt a strategy that I cannot stick to, I will not be defeated today..."

When Zhong Yao was frightened, Ma Chao became impatient and immediately ordered the entire army to fire arrows.

There was a sudden buzzing sound, and more than a thousand crossbowmen who had been waiting for a long time fired their arrows upon hearing the order. The locust-like arrows pierced the darkness of the night and went straight towards the panicked Cao Jun.

There was a loud roar, and Cao Jun, who was huddled together, had no time to dodge, and was shot down in large pieces in the blink of an eye.

Zhong Yao originally wanted to muster up his last courage to rush into the camp, defeat the enemy troops attacking the camp, and recapture the entire camp.

However, the rain of arrows oppressed Samoko so much that he could not lift his head. How could he seize the camp again?

Hearing the shrill howls, the Cao soldiers on the left and right were like fragile wheat stalks, being ruthlessly harvested by the death's sickle. Zhong Yao now knew that the situation was difficult to reverse, and if he continued to hold on like this, he would be so dignified.

The captain of the Great Han Dynasty was going to die here.

In desperation, Zhong Yao had no choice but to turn his horse and flee, and led the remaining soldiers, who had lost half of their troops, to turn back.

The Ma Chao army behind them began to pursue quickly.

When Fang was only a few miles away, he suddenly saw a bright fire ahead and loud shouts of killing, but Cao Xing's pursuers had already arrived.

Zhong Yao was shocked. The camp in front was blocked, and Cao Xing's army came from behind. With no way to escape, Zhong Yao thought that all the elite soldiers of Chu army would hit him. Then

Jiang Jindu must have been weak, so Zhong Yao led his troops to flee towards Jiang Jindu.

They marched non-stop along the way. When the sky was dark, Zhong Yao led thousands of soldiers and horses to encounter Han Hao's army that had returned from Jiangjin. At this time, Han Hao was no longer on the horse, but on a stretcher.

The encounter between the two armies was so exciting that Zhong Yao, who was disappointed, once again mustered up the courage to survive. He did not blame Han Hao because he saw Han Hao lying on the stretcher. He knew that complaining had no effect now. The only thing he could do now was

What he did was to retreat to the north bank of the Weishui River and try his best to do business with the enemy again.

Zhong Yao and Han Hao finally fled to Jiangjindu. At this time, Jiangjindu's Cao army was engaged in a fierce battle with Zang Ba's army. It seemed that Jiangjindu's soldiers were about to be completely defeated in an instant, but Zhong Yao and Han Hao led

Soldiers joined the fighting area. Cao's army's only hope at this time was to capture Jiangjindu and then return to the north bank.

These Jiangjindu soldiers, who were about to give up their responsibilities, mustered up all their courage in an instant. Those Han Hao regiments poured out all their grievances on Zang Ba's regiment, but more than 5,000 Xiliang cavalry and these more than 10,000 people

Cao's soldiers were killed in a bloody massacre, and both sides paid a heavy price.

In order to preserve his own strength, Zang Ba also received a letter from Lu Bu, telling him that Cao's army would not be wiped out by them in one fell swoop, so Zang Ba ordered his soldiers to retreat slightly. What they wanted to wait for was to annihilate these troops in one fell swoop.
