Outside Tiger Cage Pass, Xu Rong was leading the army to lie in ambush by the official road.
"General Xu, it's so dark here. Do the pigs and dogs of Guandong dare to come?”
"That's right, General Xu. It's so cold in the middle of winter. Even my butt is freezing when I go to the toilet! Why did he come here instead of guarding the checkpoint?”
The complaints of the soldiers rose and fell, but not long after, there was an obvious movement on the official road.
Although the sound was not loud, Xu Rong still heard the rumbling footsteps!
"Pass on the order! Everyone kept quiet. If they dared to make another sound, they would be killed on the spot! Inform the commander to be alert. We're about to kill our way out!”
Xu Rong sounded excited.
At this moment, the dukes were getting closer and closer to Tiger Cage Pass. They could even faintly see the torches burning at the pass.
Yuan Shao was excited and couldn't help but shout,""Everyone, killing the enemy and serving the country is right in front of us! Faster, faster!"
Xun Chen could not help but frown." My lord, keep your voice down. If there's an ambush, we'll be exposed."”
"Haha, what are you afraid of? The people of Xi Liang were probably sleeping now! The soldiers 'morale soared when they made a ruckus!”Yuan Shao made a ruckus, and soon, the vassals 'voices rose. The Western Liang soldiers lying in ambush in front felt a wave of fear.
"General Xu, this Guandong army doesn't seem to be easy to deal with! Why don't we go back and guard the pass?"
Many of them were afraid. After all, they only had 40,000 soldiers now, and from the sounds coming from the other side, there were probably more than 100,000!
"Have you ever killed a tiger?" Xu Rong sneered. When a tiger descended from the mountain, as long as a hunter suddenly jumped out, the tiger would immediately flee in fear! The Guandong army was originally just a bunch of sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Their combat strength was originally limited. If we suddenly charge out, we'll be like a tiger entering a flock of sheep! We're all prepared!"
Soon, the armies of the dukes were about to come into contact with Xu Rong's army.
Xu Rong suddenly gripped his broadsword tightly and mounted his warhorse from the bushes. He raised his arms and shouted,"Western Liang men, follow me and kill our way out!”
He took the lead on the official road, and the cavalry behind him quickly lit up their torches. In the darkness, they played the role of a flag, guiding the army behind them to follow suit!
Xu Rong, who had suddenly charged out from the front line of the vassal army, jumped. He saw torches quickly lighting up in front and behind him. For a moment, the shouts of killing gradually increased in the surroundings. There was even the rumble of horse hooves. It was obvious that a large group of cavalry was charging over!
"Not good! There was an ambush! Quick…Retreat!"
Tao Gongzu cleverly shouted!
Thus, Tao Qian's troops immediately turned and fled.
When the surrounding dukes saw this, they immediately panicked and fled with him.
On the other side, Xu You's expression tightened. She knew that there was a problem with her bad idea.
At this moment, Xun Chen was trying his best to protect the situation."Lord, please give the order quickly. No one is allowed to retreat. Those who disobey will be executed immediately! Otherwise, once the army is defeated and escapes, the Xi Liang people will chase after us and kill us for the entire night!”
Xu You's plan had failed, and he couldn't bear to see Xun Chen show his face here. He immediately refuted,""My lord, Tao Gongzu and the others have fled. We don't have many soldiers. If we stay, we'll only be sending ourselves to death! Hurry up and escape. As long as there's life, there's hope!”
Yuan Shao was born fierce on the outside but weak on the inside. At this moment, he was already scared to death. He immediately nodded."Retreat, quickly retreat!"
"Lord, you can't!" Xun Chen advised bitterly," If we retreat, I'm afraid the vassals will suffer countless casualties and their vitality will be greatly damaged!”
"Then stay!" Xu You gloated.
At this moment, Xu Rong's 40,000 cavalry had already arrived. Other than Gongsun Zan, the rest of the dukes were mostly infantry archers. They could not fight against the cavalry at all, especially since they were all fleeing in defeat. The Western Liang cavalry that came after them were like cutting melons and vegetables. No one could resist them at all.
As a result, the originally panicked dukes were immediately killed and defeated. They all fled, trying to escape back to the camp.
Fortunately, there were more than 100,000 vassal soldiers, and the Western Liang cavalrymen took a lot of time to kill. They stopped and walked all the way until it was midnight.
At this moment, Cao Ren and his infantry were lying in ambush on the main road. The soldiers around them were either shivering in the cold or dozing off.
"Sir, is this reliable?" Cao Rendong couldn't even hold his weapon as he asked Zhao Yang in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll make a name for yourself today.”Zhao Yang answered Cao Ren's question patiently.
On the other hand, Zhao Yun had been leading the cavalry to ambush on the other side. He was silent, and even his warhorses had strangely quieted down.
Cao Ren rubbed his hands again and saw a light in front of him.
"Is there a fire there?" Cao Ren quickly pointed into the distance.
Zhao Yang looked around and found that there were more and more flames there, accompanied by louder and louder noises!
"Zhao Yun! Cao Ren!"
Zhao Yang suddenly shouted.
"Prepare for battle!"
"Understood!"
The two of them immediately responded.
At this time, even a fool would know that the alliance army had been defeated!
The only question now was whether there were any pursuers behind them!
Soon, the vassal army escaped, and the Western Liang cavalry chased after them!
Zhao Yang roared. The troops on both sides lit up their torches and charged out while shouting!
Zhao Yun took the lead, her silver spear shooting out like a fiery dragon in the flames!
After a series of rapid attacks, Xu Rong's cavalrymen were suddenly attacked from behind. It was extremely chaotic, preventing the cavalrymen behind them from quickly passing through. The 40,000 cavalrymen immediately slowed down!
The cavalry that had slowed down immediately became live targets in front of Cao Cao's army that had high morale and was eager to make contributions!
"Haha! It was all a good kill and a good credit! Charge!" Cao Ren was in the middle, and the 10,000 infantrymen immediately charged out. The cavalry on the opposite side was suddenly attacked and killed, and they were instantly thrown into chaos. Many people were so scared that they had already fled to the back.
Zhao Yunyi was a bold person, like a sharp sword piercing the enemy's heart. Xu Rong saw this and immediately came to kill him. After fighting with Zhao Yun for more than ten rounds, he was suddenly stabbed in the wrist by Zhao Yun's spear. He was so scared that he galloped away. When the surrounding soldiers saw Zhao Yun chasing after him, they quickly went up to block with all their might, barely protecting Xu Rong and escaping.
However, the morale of the Western Liang cavalrymen quickly fell. The weather was cold and the horses were tired, so the entire army retreated!
Cao Ren led the infantry to chase for a while and killed thousands of cavalrymen. Seeing that they couldn't catch up, he returned with a full load and went back to report the good news to Cao Cao. Zhao Yang followed behind Zhao Yun's army and chased the Western Liang cavalrymen all the way to Tiger Cage Pass. When he saw someone coming out to help, he retreated.
Along the way, Zhao Yang sent people to collect the warhorses. When they arrived at the military camp, they actually picked up 3,000 good Western Liang horses for free!
At this moment, among the eighteen vassals, other than Cao Cao, who had a look of ecstasy on his face, the others all had ashen expressions. Even Han Fu and the others had more than half of them dead or injured, and they were crying sadly!
