Chapter 911 Cao Jun Retreats

What a fast gun!

Cao Xiu was startled, and felt dazzled in front of him. He hurriedly waved the long knife in his hand to block it. He could only hear the clanging sound. Cao Xiu tried his best to resist Ma Chao's spear. His whole body was already exhausted. I broke out in a cold sweat.

I am not his opponent, this person is invincible!

Cao Xiu was not a fool, so he had such an idea in his mind.

But can Ma Chao let him go?

"Want to leave? Where to go!"

Ma Chao sneered, and his gun style suddenly changed. He saw the spear in his hand swishing out. The three moves and two moves seemed to have woven into a big net, which tightly enveloped Cao Xiu. Even if Cao Xiu wanted to escape, he could not escape. It's difficult, he is like a rabbit being stared at by an eagle, he can only parry but not fight back.

Cao Xiu had no choice but to wave the long-handled sword in his hand, struggling to resist Ma Chao's continuous spear moves. Danger was everywhere for a moment, and Cao Xiu felt that all his vitals were covered by Ma Chao's spear, and he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

"Well!"

Cao Xiu screamed. It turned out that Ma Chao's spear blade had scratched his forearm, tearing the arm guard, leaving a wound from which blood gurgled.

If you can't continue fighting like this, you will definitely die here within twenty rounds!

"Don't worry Wen Lie, I'm here to help you!"

A murderous intention suddenly came over him. Ma Chao looked back and saw a general clapped his horse and danced with a gun. He shouted loudly and pointed the gun directly at Ma Chao.

"Use a gun in front of someone, haha!"

Ma Chao himself is a master of marksmanship. In addition to the thirty-six-step Fubo marksmanship inherited from Ma Yuan, Liu Ye also gave him some unique marksmanship skills from later generations of Chinese martial arts, so his martial arts skills greatly improved.

Ma Chao laughed loudly, and used his spear style to encircle both Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen. He opened and closed a tiger-headed golden spear, and he actually had the upper hand against two people at the same time. .

This Ma Chao is really brave. The two of us can't suppress him!

Cao Zhen was also taken aback, so he had to grit his teeth and join forces with Cao Xiu to resist Ma Chao. For a moment, he was no longer in danger of his life, but he was still firmly suppressed by Ma Chao and fell into decline.

At this moment, most of Cao's army suddenly turned their flags and retreated quickly towards the east.

"General, Cao's army has retreated!"

Liu Ye looked puzzled: Why did Cao Jun retreat? Could it be a ploy to lure the enemy?

It turned out that the scout who just broke into Cao's army and reported the military situation in front of Cao Cao was from Huainan. He told Cao Cao that Liu Bei's three brothers led the Yuzhou army into Huainan, defeated Xiahou Dun and besieged Shouchun.

In fact, Cao Cao did not want to fight with Liu Ye's Xiliang army from the beginning. Cao Cao's original plan was to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, lead a light force to surprise Hulao Pass, attack Luoyang, capture the emperor as a prisoner, and make the Xiliang army Shock, and then take advantage of the situation to plot the Central Plains.

But what was unexpected was that Liu Ye tacitly led the Xiliang army eastward to compete with Cao's army for hegemony. As a result, the two armies met halfway. Now that the strategic intention has been exposed, continuing to fight is just a head-on fight. With the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army, tens of thousands of Cao's troops may have to be accounted for here.

It would be better to withdraw the troops and rescue Xiahou Dun for a long-term plan.

Therefore, Cao Cao formulated this plan and ordered Cao Chun to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry into the Xiliang army first to attract the attention of the Xiliang army, while he led most of Cao's army to retreat eastward.

When Cao Chun saw Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen being entangled by Ma Chao, he immediately rushed over with his troops and shot Ma Chao with one shot.

"Wen Lie, Zi Dan, stop entangling with the enemy and lead your troops to retreat immediately!"

Although Cao Chun's martial arts is not very powerful, he is not mediocre either. Ma Supernatural is no match for the three of them joining forces. Upon seeing this, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu took advantage of the situation and broke away, and then hurriedly led the Tiger Cavalry and Leopard Cavalry to turn around and leave. go.

"Damn it, the enemy generals must not leave!" Seeing Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu running away, Ma Chao couldn't help but became furious and directed all his anger at Cao Chun.

"Hmph, how can I tangle with a reckless man like you?" Cao Chun glanced at Ma Chao disdainfully, and after a feint shot, he stopped fighting with Ma Chao and turned around to leave.

Under the orders of Cao Chun and three others, nearly nine hundred tiger and leopard cavalry immediately broke away from the battle and also headed east, following closely behind Cao Jun.

The grassroots of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are all hundred-man generals, so the order was naturally strict. Cao Chun pointed eastward, and they ran towards the east in one breath.

Ma Chao said angrily: "Xiliang Iron Cavalry, chase the enemy for me, don't leave Cao Cao!"

"Don't leave Cao Cao!"

More than four thousand Xiliang cavalry immediately followed Cao Jun and pursued them all the way forward.

"General, if you don't pursue the enemy, they will be far away. Please give the order to pursue them." Pang De said with his hands.

Liu Ye nodded, pulled out the sword from his waist with a "闶阆" sound, and ordered: "The whole army attacks!"

"kill!"

The Xiliang army's shouts of killing were earth-shattering. More than 30,000 Xiliang troops immediately poured out like a tide, spreading out on the field and chasing after Cao Jun. The two armies are in front of each other, chasing each other.

Although Cao Jun retreated, it was not a rout of abandoning his troops and dragging his armor, but an orderly retreat. These Cao troops also followed Cao Jun in the north and south, and their fighting qualities were extraordinary. Therefore, even if they retreated, they did not reveal the trend of defeat. Instead, they formed formations and became small formations, combining with each other. If we are together, if we attack, we may not be able to get a good result.

And although there are many cavalry in the Xiliang army, there are also many cavalry in Cao's army. Yuan Shao and Gongsun Du were competing for hegemony in Youzhou, so they both rushed to please Cao Cao. Both Youzhou and Liaodong were horse-producing areas in the Han Dynasty, so Cao Cao exchanged grain with them for many war horses.

Among these war horses, in addition to selecting fat and strong horses to form the tiger and leopard cavalry, the rest formed more than 3,000 Cao Jun's light cavalry.

These Cao Jun's light cavalry and tiger and leopard cavalry were used as cover in Cao Jun's rear formation to resist the invasion of Xiliang's cavalry. Moreover, Cao Cao's cavalry organized counterattacks from time to time and fought with the Xiliang cavalry. As a result, the pace of the Xiliang cavalry was immediately delayed, allowing most of Cao Cao's men to continue moving forward.

"Get away!"

Although Ma Chao was extremely powerful, he killed more than ten Cao Jun cavalry with a tiger-headed golden spear. However, the Xiliang cavalry was still blocked by Cao Jun's cavalry. After all, one person's bravery cannot be defeated. An army of tens of millions.

The two armies chased each other one after another. They ran more than a hundred miles that day, ran out of the jujube, and kept approaching Mengjin.
