Chapter 183 News from the Western Regions

It was not a good thing for Meng Chen that Cao Cao led the army to appear. Although he knew that there was a rift between the coalition forces, Cao Cao still chose to take care of the overall situation.

As long as all the princes participating in the alliance, all lose and all win and all prosper!
The war was about to break out, and the air in front of the coalition army camp seemed to freeze, as if a fight would start if there was a disagreement.

In front of the formation of the two armies, Meng Chen suddenly raised the Overlord's Halberd high. Although the cavalry behind him did not start to charge, dozens of fireballs slowly rose behind him.

As the fireball got closer, the eyes of the coalition soldiers showed panic.

"Catapult!" Cao Cao exclaimed suddenly.

Under such a situation, the coalition formation began to float, and the first fireball landed, hitting the unfinished mound accurately.

Sparks splashed everywhere, and the top of the mound was instantly ignited, making the surroundings of the mound illuminated by fire.

The burning mound in the dark night, like a bright torch, illuminated the direction of attack for the Xiliang army.

However, the surprise did not end there. When the second fireball hit the mound, there was a scream instantly.

In the flames, several archers dressed in Cao Jun's costumes were set ablaze, wailing loudly.

The rest of the archers hidden in the darkness were instantly exposed.

Seeing this, Meng Chen grinned subconsciously, unexpectedly Li Cunxiao hit the mark.

Looking at Cao Cao, it's a pity that the night is too dark to see the expression on his face clearly.

The fireballs continued to fall, and the coalition camp was full of flames.

There were screams one after another, and many unlucky guys directly turned into human torches.

"Let's get started!" Meng Chen lowered his head and whispered to Li Cunxiao who was not far behind him.

After finishing speaking, I saw Li Cunxiao waved his right hand, and many strong soldiers immediately rushed out behind him.

These soldiers held an iron hook in their hands and waved their hands while running.

Not long after, the iron hooks were thrown out, and most of them hit the fence of the coalition army camp accurately.

After a while of busy work, all the ropes tied to the back of the iron hook were tied to the horses of the Xiliang cavalry.

At this time, if they don't know the plan of the Xiliang Army, these generals of the coalition army will really have nothing to eat.

"Cut the rope, cut the rope quickly!" The grassroots generals shouted, and a group of brave soldiers rushed out in an instant.

It's a pity that before he could take a few steps, he was hit by a crossbow arrow flying in the dark night.

After three consecutive attempts, no one dared to step forward.

"Boom!" After a while, the wooden fence of the coalition camp collapsed with the dragging of Xiliang cavalry.

Seeing the timing, Meng Chen held up the Overlord's Halberd again: "The whole army assaults!"

In an instant, the Xiliang army rushed out with shouts, like a water supply breaking a dike.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the coalition army looked flustered and their morale was low. If it wasn't for the pressure from the generals at all levels, they would have dispersed long ago.

In the confrontation between the two armies, it is clear at a glance which one is superior and which is inferior. Facing the tide-like offensive of the Xiliang army, the Jizhou army under Yuan Shao is still the first to be unable to withstand it.

"My lord, the enemy army is in disarray." Chen Yaojin licked his lips, then pointed at Yuan Shao's handsome flag excitedly and said.

"Haha, Zhijie, lead the Xuanjia Army to put pressure on Cao Cao." Meng Chen laughed loudly, and then gave instructions to Chen Yaojin.

As soon as the words fell, Chen Yaojin rode out on his horse, leading more than ten thousand Xuanjia troops, and rushed towards Cao Jun.

"The enemy will take his life!" Chen Yaojin shouted loudly, and the Xuanhua ax in his hand danced fiercely.

"My lord, retreat quickly."

In the Cao army's formation, Cao Ren was covered in blood, and the Xiliang army was attacking like a tide, and it was only a matter of time before they retreated.

Cao Cao didn't answer immediately, but glanced at Yuan Shaoshuai's flag in the distance.

I saw that Yuan Shao's position was in a panic, and Shuai Qi was already crumbling.

And the entire formation of the Jizhou Army has long been dilapidated, and Xiliang cavalry are pouring into the gap continuously.

"My lord, I can't stop it anymore, let's withdraw." Guo Tu persuaded with a pale face.

Yuan Shao's face was livid, although he felt unwilling, but he was helpless.

The more this happened, the more Yuan Shao missed his beloved generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and even Zhang Xi a little bit.

It's a pity that there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the sky, but there are no suitable generals.

Yuan Shao felt remorse in his heart, but there is no medicine for regret in the world.

"Withdraw! Withdraw! One day Ben will invade Chang'an!"

As Yuan Shao's handsome flag retreated, Cao Cao shook his head helplessly, then sighed and said:
"Zi Xiao and Zi Lian lead the rear of the palace, and the rest, retreat!"

For the grasp of the battle situation, Cao Cao is much better than Yuan Shao, especially when it comes to decisions at critical moments, there is no sloppiness.

"Young master, Cao Cao has withdrawn!" Meng Shan's voice came, and Meng Chen nodded.

In this battle tonight, what Meng Chen cares most about is not the number of enemies killed, but the safety of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

As long as the two of them can escape alive, Meng Chen's goal will be achieved.

However, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee that unexpected situations will happen.

"Pass down the order, except for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, take as many prisoners as you can."

The messengers led the way, and a grand gathering of captives began.

"Report, Cao Cao led his troops to retreat, and the flank of the army is no longer safe."

Yuan Shao, who was in a panic, suddenly heard the scout's report, and slapped the horse's buttocks fiercely with the whip in his hand.

The two coaches withdrew one after another, and the remaining soldiers naturally had no fighting spirit.

Of course, compared to the panic and disorder of the Jizhou Army, Cao Jun's retreat seemed only orderly.

After attacking several times in a row, Cao Jun's formation is still intact.

Even if a gap is reopened in a certain place, it will soon be filled by one of Cao Ren and Cao Hong leading troops.

Seeing this, Meng Chen hastily changed his strategy. Instead of going head-to-head with Cao Jun who was desperately fighting, it would be better to bully and bully the Jizhou Army.

"Order Li Cunxiao and Chen Yaojin to pick the soft persimmons, follow Cao's army, and attack the defeated army in Jizhou with all their strength."

"Here!"

When Mengchen's general order was issued, the Xiliang Army immediately changed its strategy, Cao Jun's pressure was greatly reduced, and the two brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong would speed up and leave the battle.

However, the Jizhou army, which had a large number of people without any command and coordination, fled around like ducks being chased away by the Xiliang army.

At this point in the battle, Meng Chen no longer has the desire to watch the battle.

Therefore, he asked Meng Shan to lead the personal guards to help the battle, and he himself led the bed crossbow convoy back to Hangu Pass slowly.

As soon as he entered the closed door, he saw Jia Xu coming in a hurry, Meng Chen was startled, and a bad premonition came to his mind.

"Mr. Wenhe, what happened?" Meng Chen hurriedly got off his horse and asked.

"Reporting to my lord, there is news from the Protectorate of the Western Regions that the remnants of the Xiongnu are intimidating and luring the Dayue Clan to snatch the convoy of the Penguin Chamber of Commerce and killing innocent businessmen indiscriminately."

"The remnants of the Huns? Da Yuezhi?"
