In Cao's army's formation, Zhong Yao was dressed in military uniform, holding a sword in his hand and looking solemn.

At a glance, he glanced at his Chang'an army of 100,000 troops, with flags flying and uniforms brightly colored. These soldiers standing solemnly made him feel a lot more at ease.

Directly ahead, the dust in the sky has stopped, and the rumbling and approaching vibrations of the ground have gradually stopped. Looking from a distance, the phalanx of the legions like fire has not yet stood upright.

However, the confident Zhong Yao thought that the Chu army, which seemed to be approaching fiercely, was frightened by his own military strength and did not dare to show off his power anymore.

Zhong Yao's face grew proud.

"Your Majesty, the Major General's army has already moved towards the enemy's flank. At the right opportunity, it will deliver a fatal blow to the enemy."

The scouts rushed over and reported loudly.

Zhong Yao nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

If the army led by Zhong Hui boldly penetrates behind Lu Bu and Gan Ning's army, then Lu Bu and Gan Ning's army will completely lose contact with the camp, and then Lu Bu and Gan Ning's army will be completely isolated.

In this way, not only can they break through the Weinan camp of the Chu army, but they can also completely defeat the main force of the East Route Army, and then annihilate the entire Chu Army's East Route Army in one fell swoop.

"Lu Bu, even if your martial arts are invincible, even if your Xiliang cavalry is unparalleled, you will still die in my hands."

Zhong Yao snorted coldly, his expression gradually becoming disdainful.

While Zhong Yao was thinking about it, on the opposite side, the Chu army's formation changed. A group of cavalry charged out diagonally, but they did not attack from the front, but circled towards the flanks.

Zhong Yao immediately became nervous and shouted loudly: "Where is Wang Wei?"

"The last general is here." A general under his command shouted in response.

Zhong Yao pointed his horse whip and said, "The rebels are trying to bypass our army's flank. You must quickly go to the right wing to suppress the formation. You must not let the rebels get close."

"yes."

Wang Wei took the order and galloped away.

Zhong Yao's army on the right quickly changed its formation, and a large number of crossbowmen arrived, preparing to meet the Chu army coming from the flank.

Lu Bu, who was watching the battle, clearly saw Zhong Yao's army changing formations, so he thought that Zhong Yao really still had some strength, and realized that he wanted to attack his flank first.

"So what if you see it, Zhong Yao, you are not dealing with an unknown person, but the fierce general Gan Ning."

Lu Bu was full of confidence in his brother, but he was not worried at all. He just raised his head and watched the changes.

On the right wing, Gan Ning led Wang Zhen and his thousands of cavalry, and they were already galloping towards them. In a blink of an eye, they were less than 200 steps away from the flank of Zhong Yao's army.

Two hundred steps, this has entered the range of strong bows and crossbows.

The horse's hooves are like flying, and it is still moving forward rapidly.

There were many figures in the formation of Zhong Yao's army. Although they couldn't see clearly, Gan Ning and Wang Zhen relied on the experience of an excellent cavalry commander to know that the enemy's crossbowmen were ready to fire their bows and arrows. The two looked at each other.

The other party then nodded in understanding.

"All troops, head west!"

With a loud shout, Gan Ning hurriedly turned his horse's head, and the good horse roared and neighed loudly, then changed its direction.

Two thousand Xiliang cavalrymen, who were shooting at them like arrows, suddenly changed their direction midway, passed by the flanks of the enemy formation, and circled towards the rear.

At this time, Zhong Yao's army had just issued an order to release arrows.

Hundreds of arrows came from the sky and covered the ground, but it was a moment late. Most of the arrows missed the target. The Xiliang cavalry led by Gan Ning and Wang Zhen only lost a few people.

Gan Ning and Wang Zhen, who had avoided the arrow attack, quickly led their troops around to the rear of Zhong Yao's army and charged away again.

Zhong Yao's army formation immediately changed. The soldiers in the rear changed from the rear formation to the front formation, and hurriedly formed a formation to meet the enemy, while a large number of archers and crossbowmen hurriedly rushed to the rear formation.

Only a moment later, Gan Ning and Wang Zhen's light cavalry had passed by the rear formation. The knights fired arrows from their horses, and arrows like locusts rushed towards them. In an instant, more than a hundred Jingzhou sergeants were shot.

The screams suddenly started.

Just when Zhong Yao's army was about to use their bows and crossbows to counterattack, Gan Ning and Wang Zhen mounted their light horses and skimmed past the formation, and in a blink of an eye, they circled around to the enemy's left flank.

In this way, relying on their strong mobility, Gan Ning and Wang Zhen were like playing monkeys, constantly leading Zhong Yao's army by the nose, forcing their opponents to constantly change their formations, tired of running around and changing.

This is the strength of Qingqi.

Zhong Yao is a strategic strategist who has plans for the entire strategy, but Zhong Yao is not good at commanding large-scale military formations, or it can be said that Zhong Yao has no experience in fighting large-scale cavalry.

What he is facing now is Wang Zhen, one of the few generals in Cao Cao's army who can command the Xiliang army. With only a few roundabout pulls, Zhong Yao's originally neat military formation has gradually become disordered and has become invisible.

There are signs of confusion.

The flaw has appeared.

In the southeast, the formation of Zhong Yao's army was in chaos. The crossbowmen and spearmen were crowded together, and they were unable to change direction in the confusion.

How could this momentary flaw escape Lu Bu's eagle eyes?

With knife-edge eyes and murderous intent, Lu Bu said sternly: "All soldiers, follow me to attack the enemy formation in the southeast. You are only allowed to advance, not retreat!".

The orders were passed down layer by layer. The Chu army officers and soldiers who had been arrayed for a long time could no longer hold back. After hearing the general's order, they roared loudly and rushed out with their horses prancing.

More than 20,000 cavalrymen burst out and surged towards Zhong Yao's army formation with supreme power.

The iron hoofs stamped on the ground, causing a thunderous sound that was as loud as a torrent rushing down a dike.

Cao Cao's 50,000-strong army all changed their colors.

The Chu army finally launched a strong attack.

When Zhong Yao saw Lu Bu's heavy cavalry coming, he glanced at him and headed straight for the weak spot in his own formation.

"Where is Li Dan?" Zhong Yao shouted anxiously.

"The end is here." Li Dan rushed towards him on horseback.

Zhong Yao pointed to the chaos on the side of the military formation and shouted urgently: "Hurry and bring 3,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce that wing. You must block the enemy's attack."

Li Dan received the order and immediately mobilized his troops to head towards the chaos.

But, it's too late.

The two armies were only a few hundred steps apart. While Li Dan was still mobilizing his troops, the thousand troops attacked the Chu army first, and like a huge black spear, they came with an overwhelming force.

In a hurry, hundreds of crossbowmen released arrows, but those scattered arrows could not stop the rushing enemies.

Thousands of Xiliang heavy cavalry, relying on strong armor for defense, bravely advanced in the face of arrows.

Fifty steps, thirty steps, twenty steps...

The sharp giant spear hit him instantly.

Amidst the roar, people were thrown over and their limbs were torn to pieces.

Lü Ying, the first general under Lu Bu's tent, took the lead. The broadsword in his hand was like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and he chopped off the several shield-bearers in front of him.

Amidst the thick mist of blood and the tragic howling, Lu Ying was like a mad bull, tearing a hole into the chaotic enemy formation.

Behind them, Xiliang's heavy cavalry were like wolves that had crashed into a sheepfold, waving their hungry weapons and breaking away from the formation.

In just a moment, the hole in the formation rapidly expanded, and Zhong Yao's originally tight military formation was like a fragile glass wall. Every bit of it was shattered, and the entire military formation quickly collapsed.

Xiliang's heavy cavalry, which charged in from the southeast, did not slow down at all. Relying on the heavy cavalry's super impact and defensive power, they charged forward unstoppably along the determined attack route.

The iron hooves are like millstones, crushing all enemies in the way under their feet.

In a moment, a bloody road ran through Zhong Yao's army formation from front to back.

These improvised armies that had not been tested in real battles had never seen such a terrifying enemy. Under the shock, the morale of the army was in chaos. Thousands of Cao's troops in the southeast were the first to collapse and collapse.

The collapse in one place quickly spread to other phalanxes, and in a short time, all the 50,000 Jingzhou troops were in panic.

At this moment, Gan Ning and Wang Zhen, who had rounded back to the flank, saw an opportunity and led two thousand Xiliang light cavalry into the enemy's left flank.

One horizontal and one vertical, the two phases intertwined and struck, even the most elite Cao army could not resist it, let alone Zhong Yao's improvised army.

The defeat is like a mountain, and the disintegration is irreversible.

Zhong Yao, who was at the Central Military Department, was extremely frightened. He never expected that the military formation that he had just maintained solemnly would be easily broken by the enemy in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Zhong Yao was so frightened that he realized that Lu Bu's ability to use troops was far beyond his own.

Zhong Yao was shocked and angry, as if he was sinking into an icy abyss.

"Sir, the entire army has been defeated. Please retreat to Chang'an quickly!"

Li Dan rushed over, screaming in terror.

Zhong Yao was unwilling to give up, but seeing the soldiers fleeing in all directions, no matter how much hatred he had, it was of no use. Out of fear, Zhong Yao had no choice but to flee in the direction of Chang'an City under the protection of Li Dan.

During the fierce battle, Lu Bu clearly appreciated the legions under his command, and staged a wonderful show of twists and turns.

When Lu Bu saw the "Zhong" flag of the Chinese army falling down, Lu Bu knew that Zhong Yao wanted to escape.

"It's not that easy to escape."

Lu Bu, whose hands had been itching for a long time, rode up and swung Fang Tian's painted halberd, leading the remaining thousand or so cavalry to kill directly from the front.

A thousand iron cavalry came fiercely.

Wherever Fang Tian's painted halberd swept across, those ant-like enemies were left in pieces.

Without stopping all the way, he led his cavalry in a straight line along the avenue, charging into the chaotic enemies and blazing a long bloody road.
