Liu Biao's sudden retreat allowed Sun Jian to escape back to Changsha. Sun Jian wanted to thank Lu Meng, but he didn't expect Lu Meng to reorganize his troops and return to the division as if he didn't know them. He left Sun Jian and Huang Gai at Qilin Mountain. Huang Gai knew why Lu Meng did this, but he couldn't say anything. Sun Jian did not want to be snubbed, so he led his troops back to Changsha.
After Lu Meng returned to Luoyang, Zhang Fei didn't let him stay. After giving him a little reward, he let him lead his troops to the west to help Zhao Yun and Cao Cao. Zhang Ping was the right army to support them.
Cao Cao's troops met with resistance from Lu Bu at Caoyang. When Lu Bu saw the Guandong army coming, he thought it was a large army. However, when he saw that there were only 10,000 troops, he mustered his courage and set up an ambush at Caoyang. Hua Xiong also set up a troop at Hongnong. The two armies formed a horn. No matter which side Cao Cao attacked, the other side could quickly rescue him. In order to ensure the surprise of the ambush, the citizens of Caoyang City were forced by the Western Liang army to move around the city gates to confuse Cao Cao.
Cao Cao, who was still angry, couldn't care less about these details that could have been observed. Therefore, he made a common sense mistake and advanced toward Cao Yang without scouting. Logically speaking, Cao Cao, who had always been known for his strictness, would not make such a low-level mistake at this point in the battle between the Western Liang Army and the Guandong Army. However, things were often like this. Some unpredictable small things could affect a commander's mood, affect his judgment, and affect the success or failure of a battle.
Compared to Cao Cao's ignorance of the Western Liang army's arrangements, Lu Bu and Hua Xiong were well aware of Cao Cao's movements. However, as the Western Liang army was a frightened bird, Lu Bu and Hua Xiong did not dare to take the risk of ambushing them without relying on the city walls.
Just as Cao Cao was advancing towards Cao Yang, Hua Xiong received Lu Bu's signal. He led 10,000 elite soldiers from Hongnong and headed towards Cao Yang. It was obvious that Hua Xiong was going to cut off Cao Cao's retreat. It was impossible for Cao Cao not to know about the actions of the Western Liang Army. Zhao Yun's 2,000 black armored cavalry was not just for show. The information that Zhao Yun gave Cao Cao once again made Cao Cao make a wrong judgment. He believed that Hua Xiong had come to Cao Yang to save the already crumbling Caoyang City. Therefore, he was even more confident in taking Cao Yang down. Although Zhao Yun was a little puzzled, he could not say anything. When Zhang Fei asked him to come out, he had told him that his mission was not to fight. It was to ensure that Cao Cao returned to Guandong alive!
Just as Cao Cao was still immersed in the fantasy of taking down Caoyang City, the Western Liang cavalry suddenly charged out of the city, causing Cao Cao to be stunned. He was speechless for a long time. God knew how Lu Bu made those damn Western Liang horses not make a sound. The sight of thousands of warhorses galloping over was truly spectacular. The rumbling of their hooves shook the ground so much that it seemed as if it was about to split open. Fortunately, Cao Cao was really very lucky this time! Because of Zhao Yun and his black armored cavalry!
Lu Bu had always been proud of the Western Liang cavalry's ability to advance, but in front of the black armored cavalry, they were so weak and powerless. This was the first time the Guandong Army had a showdown with the Western Liang Army. Only the ghosts knew how the black armored cavalry, who had only been established for a year, had been trained. The explosive power on horseback, the charging power when advancing, and the guerrilla awareness of the battlefield. What the f * ck did Zhang Yide instill into these soldiers! Lu Bu could only curse in his heart. The head-on resistance of the black armored cavalry was indeed a little abnormal. The Western Liang army had consciously advanced to the two flanks and did not choose to fight the black armored cavalry head-on. It was this conscious evasion that gave Cao Cao a chance to catch his breath. The Western Liang army did not attack Cao Cao head-on, so Cao Cao immediately broke out of the encirclement to the right. Why did he choose the right wing? Because! Hwa Xiong's army had already arrived!
To the south of Cao Yang City was the Three Xiao Mountains. If Cao Cao were to go against the flow and face Hua Xiong's army, then once they entered the Three Xiao Mountains, even Lu Bu and Hua Xiong would be helpless. However, Cao Cao was too concerned about the casualties of his soldiers. In order to minimize the casualties, Cao Cao chose another direction. There was a city in that direction called Jia County, which was also a small city. It was not strategically meaningful, but if Cao Cao wanted to ensure that more of his soldiers survived, perhaps this was a good choice. In fact, if Cao Cao chose to break out of the encirclement from the right, then... This small Jia County was his only chance to survive!
Of course, Hua Xiong would not let Cao Cao leave so easily. Hua Xiong's army continued to charge forward from the south of Cao Yang. No matter how powerful Zhao Yun's black armored cavalry was, just Lu Bu's army alone was enough to deal with him. Thus, when he saw Hua Xiong's army charging towards him, in order to reduce his losses, Zhao Yun used his few cavalry to charge towards the north. To ensure Cao Cao's safety, Zhao Yun ordered a few black armored cavalry to protect him. Even though they were being attacked from two sides, Hua Xiong's troops were still very tired. Thus, Cao Cao's troops weren't as exhausted as Lu Bu had imagined. The pressure didn't cause Cao Cao to panic as Lu Bu had expected.
After stabilizing the battle formation, he pulled a group of people to bring up the rear. Then, Cao Cao led the main army and rushed towards Jia County. The group of people who brought up the rear could only die in vain.
As Cao Cao galloped on his horse, he was filled with regret. He deeply blamed himself for being so angry that he had lost the lives of thousands of soldiers in vain. Hua Xiong really wanted to catch up with Cao Cao's main force, but looking at the disorderly soldiers in his formation, he didn't know if these soldiers still had the strength to do so. Lu Bu naturally knew what Hua Xiong was thinking, so he said,""You stay behind in Cao Yang, I will lead my men to pursue!”As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Bu rode his Ferghana Horse out. Hwa Xiong thought about it and felt that it was a good idea, so he switched city defenses with Lu Bu!
In order to prevent Lu Bu from pursuing them, Zhao Yun led the black armored cavalry to cover the rear and stopped ten miles north of Cao Yang. They waited for Cao Cao's troops to leave before they followed. However, just as Zhao Yun was about to leave, he saw a cloud of dust drifting towards them. He was probably here!
"Get into formation!" Zhao Yun raised the silver spear in her hand towards the sky, and the black armored cavalrymen behind her quickly formed into battle formations. Zhao Yun was calculating in her heart whether it would be Lu Bu or Hwa Xiong! When he saw the Red Hare Horse, he knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived!
He took the lead! Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian!
Lu Bu stopped fifty to sixty feet in front of Zhao Yun. After waving the halberd in his hand, he looked coldly at Zhao Yun, who was standing in front of him, and said,"Since when did Zhang Fei like to meddle in other people's business?”
"Humph! As long as it was something that big brother wanted to manage, there was nothing that he could not manage.”Zhao Yun's silver spear shone brightly under the sunlight, while Lu Bu was still staring at her coldly.
"Perhaps he will be disappointed this time.”Lu Bu's lips curled up slightly in disdain.
"Is that so?" Zhao Yun raised her silver spear slightly." I've said it before, right? It's never happened before, so there's no 'maybe'!”
"You are very confident!" Lu Bu said calmly.
"Likewise."
"I told you to move aside, but you definitely wouldn't.”Lu Bu smiled and asked.
"Advisor Mingzhi!" He swung his silver spear down forcefully, and the sound of the spear piercing through the air instantly roused Lu Bu's spirits.
"I brought five thousand men!" As he spoke, Lu Bu looked behind him smugly." I have more soldiers than you.”
"Humph! That might not be the case!" Zhao Yun smiled as well. She then turned to a soldier carrying a flag behind Lu Bu and asked,""Hey! You, yes, it's you! What did you do?"
"I am a farmer!" The soldier replied in a panic. Zhao Yun smiled and then asked another person,"What about you?"
"He's also a farmer!" The soldier replied. At this moment, Lu Bu's expression was a little angry.
" Yanzhao Tiger Troop!" Zhao Yunyin raised his silver spear towards the sky and roared.
"Invincible!" The two thousand black armored cavalrymen roared.
"Look! It seems that I have more soldiers than you!”Zhao Yun said with a confident smile. That smile was a mockery of Lu Bu's arrogance, which made the Western Liang soldiers feel ashamed. The silent black armored cavalry gave them a shock!
"Do you want to end it with me here?”Lu Bu placed his halberd in front of his chest and said loudly," You can indeed be my opponent!”
"Humph! I thought that I was already very arrogant, but I didn't expect you to be even more arrogant than me!”Zhao Yun pointed her silver spear at Lu Bu.
"My opponents are Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide!”Lu Bu narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.
"You are not qualified!" Zhao Yun shook her head and said," Your opponent is me!”
"Is that so?" Lu Bu's slightly mocking gaze made Zhao Yun a little unhappy." Let's wait and see!”
"As you wish!"
"Lone Wolf!" Lu Bu immediately used a killing move. The Red Hare Horse galloped over, and the weapon in his hand smashed towards Zhao Yun's face.
"Arrogant!" Zhao Yun tilted her head slightly and dodged this quick move.”The halberd was not light and pressed down on Zhao Yun's neck. Fortunately, Zhao Yun wore the inner armor that Zhang Fei gave her.”Lu Bu's swift and fierce move might have already taken his life!
"Good Kung Fu!" Lu Bu praised Zhao Yun when he saw how well she dodged.
"You're not bad either!" Zhao Yun calmed down and prepared to fight calmly!
