When Xu Rong looked at the countless dust clouds in the distance, which seemed to be the rolling dust caused by hundreds of thousands of troops moving out at the same time, Xu Rong was naturally extremely shocked!
At this moment, there were only 30,000 Western Liang soldiers lying in ambush. Furthermore, their ambush had long been seen through by Zhang Yu!
If it was a normal person, they would naturally retreat when there was a huge difference in strength. However, Zhang Yu seemed to be unafraid of death as he continued to fight with Lu Bu!
If this wasn't stalling for time, he, Xu Rong, wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death!
Moreover, once the vassal army arrived, these thirty thousand people would definitely be wrapped up in dumplings!
Fearing that the thirty thousand soldiers would be wiped out, Xu Rong immediately told Li Jue and Guo Si.
"Generals, Zhang Yu was already prepared. He fought with Wen Hou to stall for time until the alliance army arrived!”
"If we don't leave now, I'm afraid we'll become turtles in a jar!”
The reason Xu Rong had to persuade the two of them was because Li Jue and Guo Si were the two highest-ranking generals in the Western Liang Army!
He, Xu Rong, had been the commander of the Han army before Dong Zhuo entered the capital, so his status was far below the two of them and Lu Bu!
If it were not for the fact that this place was near Xingyang, it would be impossible for Xu Rong to lead an army alone!
When Li Jue and Guo Si heard this, they looked at each other. Naturally, they didn't dare to let these 30,000 Western Liang soldiers die here!
If that was the case, Dong Zhuo would skin them alive when they returned to Chang 'an.
Thus, after making up their minds to preserve their strength, Li Jue and Guo Si immediately retreated to Chang 'an.
Lu Bu's expression changed when he heard the golden chime!
"Zhang Yu, you really think that you are full of tricks. You deliberately delayed so that you can destroy all my troops here?”
"This general will definitely not fall for your scheme again!”
After saying this, Lu Bu exploded with power, and the halberd in his hand shot towards Zhang Yu's chest with a strange momentum!
Seeing this, Zhang Yu raised the silver spear in his hand and blocked Lu Bu's Heavenly Halberd!
But this time, Lu Bu had learned his lesson. He feigned a move and rode away!
Zhang Yu shook his head helplessly as he watched Lu Bu leave in a panic!
"Who doesn't know how to brag? But you, Lu Bu, have fallen into my trap.”
However, since Lu Bu had retreated, it would be difficult for Zhang Yu to chase after him due to the speed of the red rabbit and horse!
That was because Red Hare was fast. No matter how strong Zhang Yu's Liaodong Dawan Horse was, it was not Red Hare's match!
As such, they could only let Lu Bu leave!
"Looks like I really have to find a real horse in the future. Otherwise, I won't be able to catch up to Lu Bu even if I want to!”
Zhang Yu muttered as he looked at the retreating Western Liang army. He raised the silver spear in his hand and shouted!
"Brothers, the main force of our alliance army has arrived. Quickly follow me to chase after the Western Liang bandits and try to stop them from heading west before the alliance army arrives!”
When Zhang Yu finished speaking, the 900 cavalrymen behind him burst out with determination. They followed Zhang Yu and charged at the 30,000 Western Liang soldiers who had retreated!
As the saying goes, a general is the courage of a soldier!
Zhang Yu was the commander of the soldiers, and Lu Bu, who was known as the most valiant general in the world, could not get along well with his own general!
Didn't this mean that their general was also the number one in the world?
Moreover, a thousand people fighting thirty thousand soldiers alone, and even scaring the rebel soldiers into fleeing in panic, this kind of power was really rare in the world!
As such, the fighting spirit of the thousand soldiers increased greatly. They followed Zhang Yu and charged forward like a tiger among a flock of sheep, slaughtering the Western Liang soldiers who were fleeing in panic!
Lu Bu was the last to retreat, but he was still in the front. Li Jue and Guo Si had retreated early, so they were naturally in front of the 30,000 Xi Liang soldiers!
Xu Rong, on the other hand, had been left behind because of his low official position and his position as the general of Xingyang.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yu was also excited!
This Xu Rong was not as stubborn as Gao Shun!
In the original history, after Dong Zhuo was killed, Xu Rong also joined Wang Yun. Unfortunately, due to the huge difference in strength, he died in the hands of the Western Liang army!
However, judging from his previous achievements, his strength was quite extraordinary. Moreover, he was definitely not so loyal to Dong Zhuo because Xu Rong was not from the Western Liang Army!
Now that Li Jue and the others had left him behind, wouldn't that give Zhang Yu a chance to capture him alive?
With that thought, Zhang Yu immediately raised his spear and charged straight at Xu Rong!
Although Zhang Yu's Liaodong white horse wasn't as fierce as Lu Bu's red rabbit, it was still incomparable to ordinary horses!
Very quickly, Zhang Yu caught up to Xu Rong. Then, he stabbed out with his spear and changed his stab to a horizontal sweep!
Xu Rong was fleeing when he suddenly saw Zhang Yu charging over. He panicked, but he was no match for him and could only be swept off his horse!
Then, the Cao soldiers behind Zhang Yu immediately dismounted and tied Xu Rong up!
Actually, when one's martial arts reached a certain level, some ordinary second rate battle generals were not Zhang Yu's match at all!
Not to mention, Zhang Yu's overall vision and strategy were also quite extraordinary!
After chasing for nearly an hour, the 900 cavalrymen had killed about 3,000 Western Liang soldiers, but there were less than 30 casualties!
Moreover, there were about 2,000 Western Liang soldiers who knelt down and begged for surrender because they had no hope of escaping!
In response, Zhang Yu took them all in!
As the Western Liang Army was on the run and Zhang Yu's troops were in pursuit, it was normal for there to be such a casualty rate!
After the army stopped, Xiahou Dun and Le Jin, who were covered in blood, led their troops back to join Zhang Yu!
Xiahou Dun smiled and said when he saw Zhang Yu capture the enemy general alive and make a contribution!
"Mu Jun, didn't you and Mister Zhi Cai say before we came that only our Cao Clan's army would be fighting this battle?”
"Why did you lie to those Western Liang bandits that the allied armies of the vassals had arrived when they saw the dust rising behind our army? Why did Lu Bu retreat immediately?”
In the face of Xiahou Dun's inquiry, Le Jin vaguely felt that this had something to do with Xiahou Yuan's departure, but he could not figure out how he did it!
Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Zhang Yu laughed and looked at Xu Rong who was tied up!
"Dong Zhuo is retreating to Chang 'an with nearly seventy to eighty percent of Luoyang's people, the Emperor, and the civil and military officials.”
"So, in order to stop the alliance army from chasing after us, Dong Zhuo will definitely send people to cover the rear.”
"Then I will let Uncle Miao Cai lead a hundred cavalrymen away in advance, and let the horses hang their ponytails upside down from the tree branches.”
"And if I act like I have a plan in mind, Xu Rong will see that I dare to challenge an army of 30,000 with just 1,000 people!”
"Don't you think that I'm trying to buy time so that the alliance army will arrive and destroy them?”
