"Kill our way out." Guan Yu took the lead and charged towards the enemy.
However, when Guan Yu charged into the formation, he finally saw the true strength of the Cao Army.
In the end, they could only take advantage of the fact that the Cao army had yet to surround them and break out of the encirclement.
"Elder brother, Guan Yu's martial arts are very strong. He broke out of the encirclement and escaped alone.”Cao Zhen reported.
"Got it. Get someone to bring those two women back to Xuchang and place them in the Prime Minister's residence.”
Cao Zheng instructed.
"The rest of you, follow me north to Guandu.”
Cao Zheng looked at the army behind him and said.
"Yes, sir."
On the other side, in the tent of the Cao army's commander.
"Report! Yuan Shao sent General Yan Liang to attack White Horse. General Liu Yan requested for reinforcements!”
Cao Cao nodded.”
After saying that, Cao Cao looked at his generals and said,""Everyone, what do you think? Tell me."
Everyone present were top strategists, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xun You, and Cheng Yu. How could the four of them not see through Yuan Shao's strategy?
Guo Jia said," Yuan Shao's goal is to surround the point and attack the reinforcements. On the surface, he is attacking the city, but in reality, hundreds of thousands of troops are waiting behind. As long as we lead the army to support him, he can cross the Yellow River and launch a large-scale attack. His army will directly crush our tens of thousands of troops.”
"Fengxiao is right!"
Cao Cao nodded and stood up,""Yu Jin, you will lead the army and pretend to cross the river at Yanjin. Make a gesture of attacking the rear of Yuan Shao's army and lure Yuan Shao to divide his forces at Yanjin. Then, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, and Dian Wei will follow my light troops and rush forward to attack Baima.”
Hearing this, the strategists couldn't help but nod. Cao Cao's quick and decisive reaction was beyond their expectations.
"Yes!"
Yu Jin and the others stepped forward and cupped their hands in obeisance.
In the main camp of the Yuan Army.
Xu You said confidently,"My Lord, if Cao Cao dares to come and save the white horse, our army will press down and kill him!"”
"Cao Cao should be able to see through our intentions," Yuan Shao said with a smile.”
Xu You stroked his beard and said,"With Cao Cao's character, he will definitely come to save us!"”
Yuan Shao smiled and nodded." If Cao Cao came, I might have said a few words to him and poked his sore spot. Unfortunately, I'm afraid he won't dare to come."”
"Cao Cao, he's not worthy of being my opponent!”
"Haha, of course."
Xu You praised him.
At this moment, a soldier came to report,"
"My lord, there's a report from the front. The enemy is crossing the river in Yanjin and wants to attack our rear!”
"Oh?"
Yuan Shao frowned slightly and looked at Xu You.""Xu You, what do you think?"
"Cao Cao dares to cross the river? He's courting death!" Xu You said calmly. Since that's the case, we might as well fight him to the death in Yanjin.”
"Good, well said!"
Yuan Shao laughed loudly and shouted,"The army will march to Yanjin and kill Cao Cao.”
Whiterun.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
Yells and shouts filled the sky as Yan Liang led his 100,000 strong army towards Whiterun City.
Liu Yan stood on the city wall and looked at the large army outside the city. He could not help but feel a little timid.
However, he had to persevere no matter what. He believed that Cao Cao would definitely come back to save the white horse.
"Release the arrows!"
"Xiu! Whoosh! Whoosh…"
Arrows rained down on Yuan Jun, causing blood to spurt out from time to time.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
Miserable cries rang out continuously. Rows after rows of Yuan soldiers fell down, but there was still an endless stream of Yuan soldiers rushing up.
Tragic!
Yan Liang raised his saber, his eyes bulging.
" Kill, kill!!!"
Yan Liang roared as he took the lead and charged towards Whiterun. Behind him, the dense mass of soldiers used their bodies to withstand the rain of arrows as they continued to charge towards Whiterun.
However, Liu Yan was not afraid even if Yuan Jun increased his attack because he had a secret weapon.
"Pull up the ballistae!"
Liu Yan waved his hand, and with a rumble, the ballistae were pushed forward. On each ballista were twelve arrows as thick as an arm, the cold arrowheads glinting in the sunlight. This was Cao Zhengxin's newly improved weapon, and it was the first time it was used on the battlefield.
"Release!"
Liu Yan gave the order.
Weng! Weng! Buzz!
A series of hair-raising air-piercing sounds rang out.
Immediately after.
Rays of black light were like sharp swords that cut through the sky as they charged straight at Yuan Jun's army.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Wherever the black light passed, flesh and blood flew up. Some were shot in the head, and their entire heads exploded.
Crack!
At the end of the arrow shot, the rope tied to the tail of the arrow was stretched and then bounced back, sweeping down another piece.
The scene of flesh and blood was terrifying!
The 100,000 strong army had lost thousands of soldiers in an instant, causing everyone to feel the urge to retreat.
Whiterun's difficulty in attacking seemed to have exceeded everyone's expectations.
However, Yan Liang continued to shout. Even if he couldn't take down Whiterun, he had to pressure Cao Cao to come and help.
This way, Yuan Shao's army could surround the point and attack the reinforcements.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and persevered…
His soldiers were also using their lives to persevere…
But at this moment, an army charged over from the side!
Not only did Yan Liang and the soldiers under him not panic, but they instead revealed relaxed expressions. Because the reinforcements had arrived, it also meant that Yuan Shao's army was also about to drive over!
"Retreat!"
Yan Liang waved his hand and retreated, stopping the attack with flesh and blood.
After retreating from the range of the arrows, Yan Liang turned to look at the army. Seeing that the leader was a young general, he shouted,
"Who are you? I don't kill nameless people!"
The youth looked at Yan Liang indifferently."You're Hebei's number one valiant general, after all. I'll let you die knowing that Cao Zheng, the Great General of the Flying Cavalry, is the one!”
"Haha!"
"So you're the famous Cao Zheng?" Yan Liang laughed loudly. "I heard that you are invincible and invincible. However, in front of my master, you are still too immature. My master's army is waiting for you.”
After Cao Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.""Then, what about your Lord's army?"
Yan Liang stilled, discovering that the rear was completely calm. Indeed, there were no traces of the army coming.
"What happened?"
Yan Liang asked Guo Tu subconsciously.
A hint of fear flashed in Guo Tu's eyes, but he quickly calmed down.""Don't be afraid, he's just scaring us. The lord has already set up a trap, and Cao Cao and his son have already fallen into it.”
Cao Zheng laughed." Stop analyzing. Your stupid lord has already led his army to Yanjin to stop and kill our main force!"”
" What?!"
Guo Tu's eyes widened as if he had been struck by lightning.
Yan Liang was still puzzled. Why did he go to Yanjin?"
Guo Tu slapped his head in frustration,"I'm afraid that the lord has fallen into Cao Cao's trap!"”
"My lord fell into a trap?"
Yan Liang also had a look of disbelief as he looked at Guo Tu."What do we do now?"
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
After hearing Guo Tu's words, Yan Liang's eyes revealed a fierce glint.""What retreat? As long as we kill Cao Zheng, the leader, wouldn't that be a great achievement? The Cao army would have collapsed without a fight!"
Guo Tu still wanted to say something, but Yan Liang waved his hand.
"Drum challenge!"
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The war drums sounded, Yan Liang pointed his long saber,"Cao Zheng, do you dare to fight me?”
"Heh-"
Cao Zheng laughed lightly, his eyes suddenly turning cold. He clamped his horse's belly and charged towards Yan Liang.
"Kill them!"
Yan Liang also roared loudly and charged over!
Under everyone's gaze, the two figures collided rapidly.
Bang!
In the blink of an eye, there was a dull thud as a head rolled onto the ground, blood spurting three feet high.
The horse panicked and lost control, and a headless body fell to the ground.
Naturally, it was Yan Liang!
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
Guo Tu was already scared out of his wits. He turned around and took the lead to flee.
The morale of the army was already in chaos, and now that Yan Liang was killed, it caused this vanguard army to collapse, like ants that had lost their nest, they turned around and fled.
"Kill them!"
Cao Zheng pointed his spear and shouted coldly.
"Kill them!"
Cao Zhen led 18,000 elite cavalrymen, and their fighting spirit was instantly ignited. Under the leadership of Cao Zhen and Cao Zheng, they swept through the fleeing Yuan Army like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
This was a crushing pursuit!
Thousands of Yuan soldiers were crushed like weeds and fell to the ground.
Blood flowed like a river.
Under the setting sun, a bloody massacre had just ended.
More than half of the 100,000 vanguard troops that Yan Liang had brought were either dead or injured, leaving behind corpses everywhere.
Unfortunately, Guo Tu still managed to escape.
Cao Zheng deliberately let him escape because there was another person who came with Yan Liang, besides Guo Tu, and that was Chunyu Qiong.
If he killed Chunyu Qiong, it would be difficult to burn the crow's nest…
