The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 339 Xi Zhicai's Despair
The third uncle and nephew of the Cao family protected Xi Zhicai and led more than ten thousand remnants of defeated soldiers to the mountain pass. Who would not want to survive?However, there is only this winding path that is only six or seven feet wide in front of you. It is impossible for tens of thousands of remnants to run out of this path!

In order to survive, tens of thousands of remnant troops have already desperately rushed towards the outside of the mountain pass. Many cavalrymen died under the collision of their comrades. Only two or three adults could escape. It's just a horse, even if these cavalry rushed out, each of them had arrow wounds and burns on their bodies, and they were in extreme embarrassment.

When Cao Hong and others rushed out of Beijiangou, there were only 6000 to [-] people left in the [-]-strong army. They were all in a panic, and some even discarded their horses and weapons, and ran for their lives alone.Of course, in the valley, there are still people fleeing desperately to the outside, but only God knows how many people can rush out. After all, the raging fire and the long smoke are definitely the deadly killer of Cao Jun. The big one dug by Zhuge Liang The pit is definitely the most deadly.

However, Cao Hong dare not wait here patiently for the remnants of the escaped army. After all, he was ambushed by the Jizhou army here, and his army was severely injured. Even the tiger and leopard cavalry were damaged by nearly half. To restore combat power is definitely not something that can be achieved in a short period of time. At this time, if an elite of the Jizhou army is waiting here, then he will be really miserable. Whether he can leave alive is two things.

"Ziwen, straighten out the remnants immediately, and immediately retreat to the southwest with all your strength!"

Cao Hong shouted sternly: "The east is the hinterland of Jizhou, behind Yecheng, to the southeast is Yecheng, to the north is Zhaojun, and to the west is Beijiangou. Now the only escape direction Cao Hong can choose is to the southwest.

However, before Cao Zhang and Cao Xiu had time to organize the army, a drum sounded in the distance, and a large army came from afar. It was the [-] elite troops led by Zhang Xiu, who had been waiting here for a whole day. , Raising the spiritual head to the top, the morale is like a rainbow!
Seeing Cao Jun's remnant soldiers rushing out of the valley in Beijiangou, Zhang Xiu didn't dare to be negligent, so he pointed the flag, and the army rushed towards Cao Jun's remnant soldiers.

On weekdays, Zhang Xiu's 6000-step cavalry is definitely not an opponent of the [-]-[-] cavalry in Cao Hong's hands. After all, the combat power of the tiger and leopard cavalry is too powerful, and only the Beiwei army may be stronger. Well, only three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry in peak condition can definitely defeat Zhang Xiu's six thousand pace cavalry.

But it's different now. Even the tiger and leopard riders are exhausted after experiencing a catastrophe on the verge of life and death. They are all wounded, and [-]% of their combat strength is less than [-]%. There are still elite Jizhou troops. opponent?
Zhang Xiu is known as the Northland Spear King. Although his marksmanship is not as good as that of Gao Chong Zhao Yun and Liu Xiao under Liu Xiao, he can definitely be ranked in the top five. He is definitely a first-class fighter. When he was at his lowest, he rushed up like a hurricane.

The two thousand elite cavalry at the front rushed into Cao Jun's camp in an instant, and began to run rampant among Cao Jun. In an instant, Cao Jun was smashed into pieces, and there was no way to fight back, even if it was Cao Jun. The tiger and leopard knights who were running rampant for a while had no power to fight back!

The most unlucky person was Cao Xiu. The elite cavalry with its back to Zhang Xiu was trying its best to rectify the cavalry. Zhang Xiu came from behind and killed him. From a distance, Zhang Xiu bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot out. The unlucky Cao Xiu was unprepared and was caught by Zhang Xiu. The arrow hit the back of the heart with such powerful force that it broke Cao Xiu's spine.

With a scream, Cao Xiu turned over and fell off his horse. Before he got up from the ground, the elite cavalry of the Jizhou Army had already arrived in front of him. In the blink of an eye, Cao Xiu was trampled into a ball of mud.

Cao Hong's expression was terrified, he couldn't bear to fight at all, and led the remnants of the defeated army to rush all the way to the southwest, but now Zhang Xiu's infantry had also rushed up, with bowmen in front and spearmen behind, blocking the way of Cao's army !

The rain of arrows came from the sky, causing Cao Jun to suffer another casualty. Finally, he rushed to the front of the crossbowman. The crossbowman's sides parted, revealing the pikemen. One by one, the pikemen stood up with their spears , waiting expressionlessly for Cao Jun to hit him!
Cao Jun's cavalry rushing to the front escaped the shooting of the crossbowmen, but they could not escape the spears of the infantry and pikemen. One after another, the horses collided with the sharp spear points and were pierced by the spears. The heavily armored tiger and leopard cavalry now lost their powerful impact ability, and it was difficult for them to get past the vertical row of long spears!
Cao Hong escaped one catastrophe just now, and suffered another catastrophe. By the time he got out of Zhang Xiu's encirclement, there were less than 3000 cavalry left in his hands. Cao Hong didn't even care about Cao Xiu's body anymore, and protected Xi Zhicai , ran wildly all the way, finally got rid of Zhang Xiu behind him, and ran desperately!
However, getting rid of Zhang Xiu's siege was not over yet. Cao Hong ran thirty miles away in one breath. Just as he stopped, before he could take a breath, another force came from the north to kill him!
General Chu Yanfei!
Chu Yanfei led two thousand fine cavalry to arrive in time, and stabbed Cao Hong hard again. Facing Chu Yanfei's two thousand fine cavalry, Cao Hong was really desperate. Who was in charge of Yecheng, and actually put himself and himself together? Xi Zhicai was so scheming that even if Yue Fei was here, it would be impossible for him to defeat him so cleanly that he wouldn't even have a chance to escape...

Chu Yanfei chased and killed him all the way, and drove Cao Hong more than ten miles away again, only then could he stop the pursuit and slowly retreat back to Yecheng.

When Cao Hong ran all the way and retreated a hundred miles away, the remaining soldiers around him were only one or two thousand tiger and leopard cavalry. As for the rest of the cavalry, almost all died in battle, and Cao Xiu couldn't even save the corpse.

Cao Hong was about to cry but had no tears. As for Xi Zhicai, he was now thinking about being killed head-on. It was all because he had foreseen the enemy's miscalculation that he had suffered such a disastrous defeat. Who was it that had plotted against him?Now that Liu Xiao has led all the main forces in Jizhou southward, even Guo Fengxiao has been brought to Dongjun and Chenliu. Is there anyone around Liu Xiao who is more cunning and calculating than Guo Fengxiao?How is it possible, why have I never heard of it?
"Zi Lian, the defeat in this battle was due to an unknown enemy. After returning, I will definitely ask the lord for death..."

Xi Zhicai said in a harsh voice.

"gentlemen……"

Cao Hong sighed: "This strategy was jointly formulated by the three gentlemen, and Liu Xiao saw through it all in one fell swoop. Even if the lord is here, I'm afraid it's hard to get cheap, but I really don't know. Who is it that has such an ability to withdraw from the earth, let Liu Xiao attack Dongjun and Chenliu so confidently and boldly, and has no scruples about us at all..."
