Thus, under Chen Gong's urging, Zhang Liao and Wei Xu immediately charged forward, heading straight for Yan Liang and Wen Chou!
One of them was the number two figure in Lu Bu's army, whose martial arts skills were second only to Lu Bu's, Zhang Liao!
One was Lu Bu's brother-in-law, Wei Xu, who bragged about his martial arts every day. If he encountered Guan Zhang, he would definitely cut off their heads!
As Lu Bu's brother-in-law, the generals naturally did not dare to disrespect him. Thus, his name became even more resounding!
Chen Gong believed it, so when Yan Liang and Wen Chou charged over, Chen Gong immediately sent them out!
However, no one expected Yuan Xi to reveal a subtle smile when he saw Zhang Liao and Wei Xu!
Yuan Xi went south this time to take Zhang Liao, the head of the five good generals, under his command!
In any case, he definitely couldn't give it to Cao Cao!
If everything went well, he could even plant some Brocade Guards in Xu Prefecture. In the future, when he attacked Xu Prefecture, it would be even easier!
After all, Xu Prefecture was easy to attack and difficult to defend. Qingzhou and Jizhou both had a commanding advantage over Xu Prefecture!
Once they sent troops from these two places, Xu Prefecture would definitely not be able to protect itself!
Speaking of which, if Yuan Shao had gathered a large number of troops to attack Xuzhou during the Battle of Guandu, perhaps there would have been a different outcome!
Therefore, from the very beginning, Yuan Xi's goal in going south this time was not to seize Xuzhou!
He was only fooling around with Cao Cao because he wanted to kidnap Lu Bu's subordinates!
His goal had always been Zhang Liao and Gao Shun. If he was lucky, he could even bring Diao Chan, one of the four beauties, back!
But now, Zhang Liao had delivered himself to his doorstep. Wasn't this giving Yuan Xi a chance for nothing?
Hence, Yuan Xi immediately said to Yan Liang who had charged out!
"Wen Chou, go deal with Lu Bu. Yan Liang, you must capture Zhang Liao alive!”
After Yuan Xi said this, Yan Liang, who was charging towards Lu Bu, immediately turned his horse around and charged towards Wei Xu and Zhang Liao!
In the original history, when Yan Liang led his army to attack White Horse, the two strongest foreign generals under Cao Cao had joined forces to fight Yan Liang!
However, even with Zhang Liao and Xu Huang working together, they were at a disadvantage within thirty rounds and had no choice but to retreat, allowing Guan Yu to take over the battle!
It was enough to show Yan Liang's might!
Not to mention now, only Zhang Liao and Wei Xu had charged out!
On the other hand, Cao Cao, who was standing at the side, paid more attention to Zhang Liao after hearing Yuan Xi's words!
To be honest, Cao Cao was also a little tempted by Zhang Liao, but he had never seen Zhang Liao's ability with his own eyes!
Therefore, he was only a little curious about Yuan Xi's actions of wanting to capture Zhang Liao alive. He did not feel any pain!
However, if Cao Cao knew that Zhang Liao was supposed to belong to him, he would still help him kill Tadun and defend Hefei so that Sun Quan would not dare to go north!
Perhaps, Cao Cao's heart would really ache!
Just as Zhang Liao and Wei Xu rushed towards Yan Liang, the corner of Yan Liang's mouth revealed a trace of a mocking smile!
Against Lu Bu, Yan Liang might not be able to handle it, but against these two people, he wouldn't be afraid even if there were two more of them!
This was the confidence of a top-tier general!
In the next moment, when Wei Xu charged straight at Yan Liang, Yan Liang immediately waved the long saber in his hand, and with just one move, Wei Xu's waist was cut into two!
Then, the long saber in Yan Liang's hand did not lose its momentum. It directly changed direction and slashed straight at Zhang Liao!
Faced with Yan Liang's fatal strike, Zhang Liao did not dare to be negligent. He also used all his strength to ruthlessly clash with Yan Liang!
However, at this moment, both sides were looking at Wei Xu, who had just charged out and was slashed alive by Yan Liang's saber!
Cao Cao's expression turned ugly!
"As expected, Hebei is full of talents. No matter what method is used, Xu Prefecture must be in my hands after this battle!”
"Otherwise, once Yuan Shao destroys Gongsun Zan, the chances of us winning won't even be thirty percent!”
As for Lu Bu, just as he had fought off Guan and Zhang, he saw his brother-in-law, Wei Xu, die under Yan Liang's blade!
Seeing this scene, Lu Bu's eyes turned bloodshot and he charged at Yan Liang to avenge his brother-in-law!
But at this moment, Wen Chou charged at Lu Bu with his spear!
With a clang, the sound of metal clashing rang out from the collision of the spear and the halberd, reverberating throughout the battlefield!
The furious Lu Bu's halberd was blocked by Wen Chou!
Although it was a little strenuous, Wen Chou was not injured at all. On the contrary, Wen Chou, who had blocked Lu Bu's halberd, was in high spirits!
Lu Bu was unable to escape!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who had been forced to retreat earlier, charged forward. The three Tiger Generals of the Era were now fighting against Lu Bu!
The four of them were like walking on horseback, killing each other!
But gradually, under the combined efforts of Guan Yu, Wen Chou, and Zhang Fei, even Lu Bu could not hold on any longer!
On the other side, Yan Liang's blade was getting more and more ruthless. After twenty rounds!
The long saber in Yan Liang's hand changed from a chop to a slap. This huge force directly slapped Zhang Liao off his horse!
Lu Bing, who had been watching the battlefield, immediately sent out several Embroidered Uniform Guards to capture Zhang Liao alive and bring him back to the main formation!
Chen Gong's expression changed when he saw Lu Bu, who was at a disadvantage and in mortal danger, and Zhang Liao, who had been captured alive!
"All troops, charge! Save General Wen Hou and General Zhang Liao!”
In the next moment, the sound of war drums shook the heavens and the earth. The thirty thousand soldiers of Lu Bu's army began to charge towards the Yuan and Cao armies!
Seeing this scene, Cao Cao and Yuan Xi immediately ordered their generals to move out!
Zhang He led the halberd warriors and charged at the front. The heavily armored heavy infantrymen were the best warriors to resist the wolf cavalry of Bing Province!
At the same time, Cao Cao sent out Yue Jin, Yu Jin, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, and the other generals to lead their troops!
As for Yuan Xi himself, he was protected by Lu Bing, the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and the Wei Army!
On the current battlefield, Yuan Xi did not want Cao Cao to see the true strength of his iron army!
As the two armies began to fight, with the help of the Wolf Cavalry from Bing Province, Lu Bu finally had the leeway to turn things around. With the help of his own soldiers, he began to move with ease!
When Yan Liang saw this scene, he immediately charged towards Lu Bu, wanting to join forces with Wen Chou and the others to kill Lu Bu!
However, Guan and Zhang had secretly received Liu Bei's orders to ensure Lu Bu's successful retreat!
Otherwise, if Lu Bu really died here, Xu Prefecture would have nothing to do with them!
As a result, Zhang Fei deliberately went easy on Lu Bu and he retreated from the encirclement!
With insufficient troops and greatly reduced morale, Lu Bu's army was defeated. He lost half of his 30,000 soldiers and only brought 10,000 soldiers with him as they headed towards Langya County!
After this battle ended, Yuan and Cao had lost less than 10,000 soldiers. Moreover, Cao Cao had more soldiers, so the casualties were naturally higher!
Adding on the fact that Yuan Xi's side had elites like the halberd warriors charging at the very front, their losses were not great. In total, they had only lost 3,000 soldiers!
The remaining 7,000 were all given to Boss Cao!
After capturing Xiaopei, Cao Cao sent Le Jin and Xiahou Dun to pursue Lu Bu, while Yuan Xi ordered Zhang He to lead Jiang Yiqu and the other lieutenants in pursuit!
