"Some Zhang He is here, Zhou Yu's son will not leave!"

Just as Zhou Yu led the army to evacuate the South Gate, a loud shout came from the east of the army. Suddenly, the enemy generals such as Zhang He and Gao Lan led their troops to catch up.

"Don't panic among the soldiers! Dian Wei and Xu Chu led the cavalry to open the way in front and escort the military advisor to evacuate first; this general personally led the infantry to cut off the rear, General Ma Dai guarded the left wing, and General Cheng Gongying led his troops to resist the enemy on the right wing. The soldiers should not hesitate, withdraw quickly!"

Zhou Yu ignored the clamor of enemy generals such as Zhang He, Gao Lan, and resolutely ordered the withdrawal of troops, and stayed in the rear army personally to cover the retreat of the army.

"Zhou Yu Shun, let's go, Cao Xiu is here!" Immediately following Zhang He and Gao Lan's army in the east, there was another sound of pursuit behind the Xiliang army, and the troops were Cao Ren's army that had fought against Dian Wei's Hu Ben Camp. After Cao Ren was injured by Dian Wei, he was unable to continue to lead the army and chased him, so Cao Xiu temporarily took charge of the army and led tens of thousands of troops in the city to rush out of the city to chase the Xiliang army that had not yet gone far.

In the rear of the Western Liang army, Ma Dai and Cheng Gongying led their troops to face the enemy on both sides; Ma Dai was responsible for Zhang He who was rushing to the east, Gao Lan's army, and Cheng Gongying was responsible for fighting Cao Xiu's army who was catching up in the rear. When the two groups of Cao army approached, they chose the same strategy to defend the enemy: "The giant shield soldiers are in front, the spear soldiers are in back. The archers are ready, and three rounds of scattering, release!"

"Swoosh swish swish!"

"Bang bang bang!"

As the rain of arrows swept into the air, the chasing Cao cavalry caught off guard and fell off the horse, falling down from the horse, causing people to fall over and over, causing dust to spread all over the sky.

At this moment, the Cao army, who was following and chasing, had lost its previous advantage. There was neither the advantageous terrain to be used, nor the pits and hidden arrows prepared in advance, and they were completely confronting the Xiliang army head-on. And it was in the wilderness. The reason why the Cao army was able to succeed repeatedly before, and even easily massacred the Xiliang army was because they occupied the right time, place and people, and ambushed the troops and hidden arrows in advance, trapped the Xiliang cavalry in an extremely narrow area, and then massacred them. But at this moment, they were fighting against the Xiliang army outside the city. They had to show their true strength, otherwise the scene of their previous massacre of the Xiliang army would now fall on themselves.

It is obvious that the positional battle face to face. Cao's army is not the opponent of the Xiliang army. Whether it is the range and power of the crossbow, the bravery and fierce fighting of the war cavalry, or even the battle between close forces, they are at a disadvantage. They are obviously much inferior to the Xiliang army. Therefore, the only thing they can rely on is that the victorious army is available and the morale is high, and they are clamoring forward with a sharp spirit.

However, Cao's army was completely unaware that after the Xiliang army suffered heavy losses, it was not defeated by lack of combat power, but by unprepared plots. Seeing that the former comrades died tragically under arrows and in the fire, every surviving Xiliang soldiers was filled with anger, and they were worried that they would not have the chance to vent. Unexpectedly, Cao's army came to the door on their own initiative.

In the confrontation head-on, fighting in the wilderness, who have the Xiliang army ever been afraid of? If they did not have the courage and strength to confront the enemy head-on, how could there be great victory again and again? How could the Xiliang army be as strong as today?

"Kill——!"

As the neighing sound was roaring, Ma Dai led more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry in his headquarters to rush towards Zhang He, and Gao Lan and the other two led the 30,000 front troops to fight with him. Jiang Qi and Cao Zhen led a 50,000 army to follow behind, two or three miles away from the battlefield. Therefore, Ma Dai resolutely decided to fight Zhang He and Gao Lan head-on, and was confident that he could defeat the enemy before Cao Zhen's army arrived, thereby completely getting rid of the pursuit of Cao's army in the east.

Cheng Gongying, who had the same idea as Ma Dai, launched an attack almost at the same time as Ma Dai on the left. He led 6,000 Huben Camp war cavalry and 10,000 infantry to face the 30,000 Cao army led by Cao Xiu. The previous three rounds of arrows shot at the same time had already shot no less than three,000 Cao soldiers.

The "clang" loud weapon hit, Ma Dai faced Zhang He, and Cheng Gongying from the west also fought against Cao Xiu. In the confrontation between people and horses, Ma Dai lost to Zhang He, but he was able to fight with him for dozens of rounds and would not lose in a short period of time.

At this moment, Gao Lan, who led his troops with Zhang He, tried to attack Ma Dai, but unexpectedly, Pang De came out halfway, and immediately staged a two-on-two battle. Pang De's arrival in time not only saved Ma Dai, but also completely reversed the duel between the generals. Gao Lan lost to Pang De, so that Pang De could take care of Ma Dai while fighting him, as if he was against two; even so, he still did not lose the upper hand.

On the battlefield in the west, Cao Xiu, who was rarely led the army alone, was full of confidence and thought he could easily defeat Cheng Gongying. Unexpectedly, the facts were exactly the opposite. He was actually injured by Cheng Gongying's left leg with a knife in the first match, which made him scream and howl. At this time, Cheng Gongying, who succeeded in the attack, took the opportunity to attack. In a critical moment, if the personal soldiers had not sacrificed their lives to rescue him and rushed to entangle Cheng Gongying, Cao Xiu would almost capsize in the gutter and become a ghost under Cheng Gongying's sword.

"Clang!" He was struggling to retreat with one sword. Pang De turned around and swung Gao Lan's sword and called Ma Dai to retreat quickly: "Our army has gone far away. General Ma Dai does not need to fight, retreat quickly!"

When Ma Dai and Pang De led their troops to retreat, Cheng Gongying also led their troops to retreat. Then the two groups of people joined forces and retreated straight to the Zhanghe River.

"Oh!" Seeing Ma Dai, Pang De and others retreat calmly, Zhang He and Gao Lan couldn't help but shook their heads and sigh. Even though they were determined to chase after him, the troops under the tent had been defeated and dispersed by the Western Liang army. By the time they gathered again, they obviously had missed the best opportunity.

"The two generals don't have to chase after you anymore, just follow them!"

When Cao Zhen led his army to come, he happened to see Zhang He. Gao Lan shook his head and sighed. So he stepped forward, stared at the figure of the Xiliang Army that was gradually moving away, and sneered: "Do you really think that my father-in-chief (Cao Cao)'s plan is limited to this? 'Please go into the trap' is to kill Li thieves, and 'burning the camp' is to wipe out Zhou Yu's army. However, the Xiliang Army has always been the dominant cavalry, so Zhou Yu's army and the cavalry of Dianwei from the South Gate must have some of the troops and horses that have broken out of the siege. So let them go. When they thought they had escaped, they didn't know that they would never be able to return to the North Bank camp, but stepped into the gate of hell, and what was waiting for them would be the abyss of hell!"

"Hahaha!" After the unfamiliar words, Cao Zhen laughed loudly. The loud and unrestrained laughter stirred in the air and was taken far away by the breeze. However, he wondered if the Xiliang army, who had withdrawn in a hurry, could hear it.

The water of the Zhang River is gurgling, and the horses are ringing.

On the south bank of Zhang River, Dian Wei and Xu Chu led the war cavalry to the riverside. The two stood up and shouted loudly as the soldiers crossed the river quickly. At this time, a large group of cavalry appeared on the opposite river bank, which immediately surprised them. After seeing the armor and outfits of the cavalry on the opposite side, they realized that it was a false alarm. The cavalry on the north bank was Huan Lang sent by Gao Shun to meet him, and the 10,000 flying bear heavy armored iron cavalry led by Huan Bao brothers.

"Don't be surprised, two generals, we are ordered by General Gao Shun to come to pick up the army across the river. We have been waiting here for a long time!" Huan Lang shouted.

"Okay, very good!" Dian Wei Hong said.

Guo Jia, who was crossing the river from the crossing bridge, shouted: "When you are evil, Zhongkang must not hesitate. He will quickly lead the army across the river. The place of right and wrong should not be left for a long time!"

Dian Wei and Xu Chu heard the sound and did not stop. They led their troops from the tent to wade through the water and headed to the north bank.

"Boom---!"

Just as Dian Wei and Xu Chu led 20,000 warriors to cross the river, a rumbling roar suddenly heard in his ears, and the war horses under his seat were even more shocked and neighed. They raised their hooves and rushed into the wilderness without any need to control them, as if they were far away from the river, as if the river water behind them was devouring everything like a flood and beast, so that the war horses did not dare to stay for a moment. After rushing to the river bank, they still galloped and ran non-stop.

In an instant, everyone looked confused and confused. They rode their horses and looked back, but they did not see Cao's army chasing. Instead, they saw Zhou Yu, Ma Dai, Cheng Gongying, Pang De and others leading more than 40,000 infantry and cavalry to the river and cross the river.

"Boom--Roar!"

The roar became louder and louder, filling the Xiliang army on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, deafening, and followed by a great earthquake and a shaking mountain.

Zhou Yu, who was commanding the army to cross the river by the river, did not notice this sound a moment ago. He mistakenly thought it was the sound of the horses behind him riding horses. But at this moment, the war horses under his seat were neighing and crying, which made him clearly feel that the sand and stones under his feet were moving, and the originally calm river water suddenly roared.

"This is, this is, the flood is coming!" Suddenly, Zhou Yu rode his horse to the north bank and shouted in surprise: "Hurry, hurry, cross the river, the flood is coming!"

At the critical moment, Ma Dai, Pang De, Cheng Gongying and others who were following Zhou Yu also felt increasingly severe palpitations, so they followed Zhou Yu, galloped on their horses and rushed to the north shore at the fastest speed in their lives.

Just at this moment, a dazzling white line appeared on the river surface several miles upstream of the river, and it quickly widened and widened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then showed a hideous true face, which was a rolling torrent that devoured everything.

"Ho-hoo---boom boom boom!"

Accompanied by the roar of beasts, the huge waves instantly swallowed everything on the river, and then roared across the banks. In an instant, they saw the weeds, wild trees and a wide range of rocks in the river, trees several feet tall on the river bank, as well as no less than 30,000 infantry soldiers who had not crossed the river, and thousands of infantry and cavalry in the river, were swallowed by the torrent in the blink of an eye. This was a real flood beast. The moment it appeared, all creatures within a thousand meters of the river, including the river, were swept away, leaving only the roaring mud-yellow flood.
