Chapter 88 Run away
Zhang Yun had been captured twice by Guan Ping before, and this third time he was captured was familiar with the way. He quickly bowed to the ground and squeezed out an extremely ugly smile from the fire that soared around him:
"I have heard that the young general is invincible. The criminal general is excited and hopes to join the general's command as soon as possible. Today, he was the general's front-lift, attacking the Cao bandits and supporting the Han Dynasty!"
Wei Yan flicked his fingers on the back of the knife, saying that he would take advantage of the chaos around him to chop off Zhang Yun with one knife. Guan Ping smiled and told Wei Yan not to make trouble.
"What Governor Zhang said is, then please ask Governor Zhang to lead the way for us."
"Where is the young general who wants to go?"
"Huarongdao, do you know where it is?"
·
On the shore, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu's army had already landed one after another, and Liu Bei's army also landed closely behind.
Although Cao Ren's martial arts are still above the young general in front of him, there are more and more enemies around him, especially when he sees Zhang Fei already landed in the distance, Cao Ren knows that he can no longer fight.
He waved the iron halberd to attack, and the man who forced him to retreat slightly, and he jumped back and avoided it with hatred, saying, "Why don't the Guan family Dalang use a knife?"
The man sneered:
"If I use a knife, I'm afraid others will laugh at me as bullying me."
Cao Ren was so angry that he was even tilted, but now the entire Cao army was disbanded, and his personal guard Chang Diao didn't know where to go, and he didn't dare to bother him. He stared at the sight of the person in front of him and immediately ran and retreated at full speed.
Cao Cao originally thought that his central army could at least withstand Sun and Liu's first wave of attacks and give him time to retreat calmly. However, he did not expect that his side had serious lack of bows and arrows, and Sun and Liu rushed to the front of the central army without paying almost no losses.
The tiger and leopard cavalry were loyal and brave. Xu Chu and Cao Zhen also tried their best to fight to the death to stop the enemy's charge as much as possible. However, the Sun and Liu coalition forces kept landing. This shocking scene completely disintegrated the morale of the Cao army. Xu Chu could initially use his extraordinary martial arts to kill Wu soldiers who rushed into the central army directly, but with the cheers of the Wu army, a black-faced man appeared in front of Xu Chu like a ghost.
"Zhang Fei!"
Xu Chu recognized the person at a glance, and Cao Cao couldn't help but shout out the person's name.
As the fire swayed, Zhang Fei's face full of thick beard was covered with ferocious expressions. His wrist trembled, and the long and exaggerated spear in his hand seemed to be light and accurately stabbed the side of the steel knife on Xu Chu's hand. Xu Chu felt his wrist numb and could hardly hold it down, so he had to subconsciously put the knife to protect himself.
Zhang Fei smiled contemptuously, then jumped deeper, using Xu Chu's brief loss of consciousness to break through his obstacles, and waved his spear to attack Cao Cao.
Guan Yu's steel sword is powerful and unreasonable, and he is brave and heroic everywhere, while Zhang Fei is just the opposite.
The terrifying snake spear in his hand was like a light embroidery needle under the control of his thick palms. It used a large number of extremely complex and dazzling spear techniques while shuttled through. The guards around Xu Chu had no power to resist in front of this evil warrior. They were either swept down by the spear body or were accurately pierced through their bodies, and fell to the ground in pain and screamed shrillly.
"I am Zhang Yide, a man from Yan, who dares to fight to the death with me?"
On that day, Zhang Fei shouted this sentence on Changbanpo. No one dared to fight the Cao army, who had the upper hand, and watched Zhang Fei leave. Now the Cao army's water camp caught fire, and there were scattered soldiers from all directions, and no one dared to compete with this god of killing.
Zhang Fei's eyes wide open, as if he had entered a no-man's land, and rushed towards Cao Cao in the sky. Seeing that the situation was not good, Cao Zhen quickly helped Cao Cao get on the horse. He gritted his teeth and fought with Zhang Fei to the death. With the advantage of the number of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, he barely delayed the progress of the killing god.
Cao Cao rode on the horse and looked at the fires soaring into the sky, his heart full of sadness.
How could it become like this...
Even Yuan Shao was wiped out by me, why did I still lose? Is God's will so much? Is God's will so much?
"Prime Minister, Cai Mao fled without fighting! Let's go!" Chen Lin limped with Dong Zhao, who was covered in wounds, and complained to Cao Cao in anger.
Cao Cao felt that half of his life's ambition seemed to be gradually dissipating with the fire. He could not accept this cruel fact, but had to accept this tragic scene.
Is this fate?
He sighed and gritted his teeth and shouted:
"Burn all our ships, don't leave one for the thieves!"
Dong Zhao was full of sadness.
He knew that even if Cao's army could retreat safely to Xiangyang, he would not have the opportunity to counterattack again in a short period of time. Cao Cao was no longer young. If he missed this opportunity to wipe out the world with the power of Mount Tai, Sun and Liu would definitely take the opportunity to grow bigger.
Is the Han Dynasty really not extinguished? Is the destiny really still there in the great man?
Dong Zhao made up his mind and quickly passed on Cao Cao's order to burn as much as all the ships of Cao's army could. Never take advantage of Sun Liu.
The Sun and Liu coalition forces, who originally used fire attack, saw Cao Cao's intention and joined the fire-fighting team. It was not easy to build a large ship, but it would be too convenient to keep these ships to counterattack Cao's army in the future.
·
After all, the Cao army had an advantage in numbers. Although they were all running, the Sun and Liu coalition forces, who also used two legs, had to slowly get off the landing ship, and the pursuit speed was naturally not fast.
Cao Cao burned his own ship and had completely eliminated the idea of escaping from the river. Now he wanted to go back to Jiangling, and only the only way to take Huarong Road from land.
But this road is not a smooth road.
In ancient times, there was no land route between Jiangling and Wulin, but the famous Yunmengze was separated.
However, due to the changes of the times, Yunmengze disappeared, and now there is a large area of mud and swamp left here. Dong Zhao had already inspected the situation of the Cao army's retreat before and found that the geographical environment here was really harsh. If there were three or five hundred people lying here, it would be enough to kill tens of thousands of soldiers. If there were one or two thousand people ambushing, it might even kill the entire Cao army.
But Cao Cao couldn't do it anymore.
Their losses are not particularly great now, because there are no automatic weapons these days, and the Sun and Liu coalition forces still have to fight fiercely with the Cao army on the shore for a while before they can find Cao Cao's specific location.
But if Cao Cao hesitated a little and the main force of the Sun and Liu coalition forces landed and assembled and launched a charge directly, then all of them would die here.
"Who is driving forward for our army?" Cao Cao shouted at the generals behind him.
The future is confused, and if the enemy has ambush, he will almost die. Cao Ren is naturally the unscrupulous candidate, but he is about to speak out and take the order to lead the troops himself. Chang Diao, who had been separated in the chaos, hurried forward and pull his cuffs.
"What the bandit army fears is a general. Our army has no self, and must be generals. I am willing to lead five hundred strong soldiers and rush forward in a light and open the way for you! General... take care of it!"
Cao Ren's heart trembled and subconsciously grabbed Chang Diao's arms.
"Giant, giant eagle...I, hey, I..."
He was moved for a moment and didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only pat Chang Diao's back hard.
"Be careful, you must survive."
Chang Diao looked moved, and he struggled to break free from Cao Ren's hand, leading his troops forward without looking back, disappearing from the eyes of everyone who was moved, frustrated or sympathetic.
Seeing as he walked away, Chang Diao took out a sweat-soaked tip from his arms.
He opened the tip and pulled out a strip of cloth from it. He saw that he wrote in crooked words:
Chapter completed!
