led an army of 20,000.

In Yecheng, a small half was burned by fire, and thousands more were trapped in Yecheng.

Now, Cao Cao, who had only a few thousand troops left, fled from the north gate of Yecheng to Liyang.

But without a horse, the speed of escape is slower than that of a turtle crawling.

If you continue at this speed, sooner or later you will be caught up by Yuan Xi, who has reacted.

"Strategist, what should we do now?"

Xu Chu, who was carrying Cao Cao on his back, burst out with the energy of his heyday and rushed forward.

"You must not let Ming Gong have trouble. Guo Jia stopped. "Our horses are all lost outside Yecheng, just by walking with our feet like this, even if Yuan Xijun doesn't catch up, there is no food and grass, we will die halfway!"

"Then what should we do?" Xu Chu can only run with Cao Cao on his back now, and ask what to do.

Guo Jia turned his head and looked at the army behind him, which was almost demoralized.

"Dispersed, one person needs to lead the remnants of the army to attract Yuan Xijun who may be chasing, and dozens of other people will help Ming Gong return to the camp and inform General Xiahou to protect Ming Gong's retreat

!" "I'm coming!" Cao Hong stood up, helped Cao Cao get off Xu Chu's back, and began to grab Cao Cao's clothes.

"Zilian

!" Cao Cao stared at Cao Hong with his eyes and shook his head fiercely, "Don't fight with them, just run away, just run away!" "

I know!" Cao Hong nodded and put on Cao Cao's clothes.

Cao Cao pursed his lips, and when Cao Hong was dressing, he grabbed Cao Hong's hand tightly, trembling all over, and his eyes were full of reluctance.

"Brother, only if you survive can we get back on our feet. Cao Hong has accompanied his brother on the Long March for more than ten years, which is enough.

"If I am lucky, my brother will give me a high official, and if we can't see each other again, my brother will remember to bring me a pot of the best wine every year." "

Sub...... Zilian ......" Cao Cao's lips twitched.

Suddenly.

There was a sound of horses' hooves all around.

Everybody lifts the heart.

"It's too late, brother, Zhongkang and Zihe will take their brother back, and I'll take the rest to me!" Cao Hong pushed Cao Cao away and led the soldiers in the direction of the sound of horses' hooves.

"Zi Lian! Zi Lian......!"

Cao Cao called reluctantly.

Cao Hong, who led the remnants of the soldiers in the direction of the sound of horses' hooves, was called back by the sound of calling.

Cao Cao was stunned.

"Sub...... Zilian?"

Cao Hong returned to Cao Cao's side, picked up Cao Cao and ran forward.

"Zilian, what are you doing?!" Cao Chun and Xu Chu said in a panic, and hurriedly caught up.

Ahead, the crowd saw the horses clearly.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It was not Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses who came, but Xiahou Shang who was wounded in the shoulder, and after a simple bandage, appeared with hundreds of cavalry.

Next to Xiahou Shang was Xu You, who was let go by Yuan Xi. The two did not know under what circumstances they met.

Xu Yu was calm, as if he had thought of the defeat of Cao Jun for a long time.

Xiahou Shang was still stunned, and then saw Cao Hong drag a cavalryman off his horse and put it on Cao Cao's horse.

"This ...... What's going on?" asked Xiahou Shang when he came back to his senses.

"Don't ask anything!" Cao Hong shouted angrily, "Boren, take the lord back to find your uncle and help the lord withdraw from Hebei!"

"Retreat...... Exit Hebei?" Xiahou Shang was stupid.

I originally thought that I would bring hundreds of light horses to Yecheng to harvest the fleeing soldiers in Yecheng, but how did he withdraw from Hebei?

The battle of Yecheng

, did you lose?" "Boren, did you hear what I said?"

Cao Hong slammed a punch into Xiahou Shang's injured arm.

"Shhh

"I...... I see!"

Xiahou Shang nodded.

Cao Hong turned around, "Zihe, Zhongkang and the military advisors are all going with the lord, just leave all the things here to me!"

Xu Chu and Cao Chun looked at Xu You next to Xiahou Shang at the same time, including Cao Cao on the horse, also looked at Xu You.

Xu You is a smart man, he knows that he was put in Cao Ying's camp before, and it was Cao Cao who deliberately wanted to kill him, so people can't stay.

Cao Hong is still explaining to Xu Chu and Cao Chun what they have paid attention to all the way.

Xu Chu didn't listen to it at all, and looked at Cao Cao on the horse.

Xu You didn't speak, and his eyes kept spinning in his sockets. Originally, he met Xiahou Shang's army halfway, he wanted to bring this group of troops to Yuan Xi's side, and after pit Cao Cao, he found a place to live in seclusion, but he didn't expect to meet the defeated Cao Cao halfway.

A sense of crisis is coming

!"Apostate Xu You, come and die!"

"Poof!"

Xu You's thinking speed was far less fast than Xu Chu's knife, and before he could react, Xu You's head fell to the ground.

Regarding Xu Yu's death, except for those remnants who were restless, the rest of the people did not react at all.

Cao Hong glanced at the corpse briefly, and said to Xiahou Shang: "Leave half of the people and horses for me, and take the lord away immediately!"

Xu Chu, Cao Chun, and Guo Jia got on the horse.

Xiahou Shang nodded.

According to what Cao Hong said, he took half of the light cavalry and Cao Cao and a few people into the night.

Not long after Cao Cao and the others walked, there was a strange sound on the route they fled from at the north gate of Yecheng.

Cao Hong tore off a piece of cloth and tied his mouth tightly.

Now, even if you are bound to die or be injured in your body, you must not say a word to show your flaws.

After the action was completed, Cao Hong quickly mounted his horse and immediately instructed the rest of the soldiers and horses to spare a few circles around him, and then fled in the opposite direction where Cao Cao had left.

Soon.

Yuan Xi and Hao Zhao appeared at the place where Cao's army was separated with a hundred snow dragoons.

Yuan Xi looked at Cao Hong's troops in front of him, who could see the shadows, and wondered

, "Where did they get their horses?"

Hao Zhao shook his head, "It cannot be ruled out that Cao Jun had prepared before.

Yuan Xi looked around strangely, and saw Xu Yu who had the body separated.

Frowning, he originally planned to let Xu Yu live to make him disgusting Cao Cao.

Who knew that this fool would not be able to return to Xu County safely, and ran back.

What a waste of myself sparing his life.

Yuan Xi skimmed over Xu Yu and began to look at the surrounding terrain, surrounded by mountains and woods.

It is not impossible to say that hundreds of horses were hidden here in advance.

The messy horseshoe prints under his feet also confirm this.

It was also these horseshoe prints that made Yuan Xi unable to tell whether Cao Jun was divided into several teams and left.

The only thing that can be determined is the direction in which Cao Hong's troops left.

"Chase!" Yuan Xi shouted, taking Hao Zhao and a hundred snow dragon horses and chasing after him.

Cao Hong, who deliberately attracted Yuan Xi, had no certainty in the direction of his escape.

Wherever it was convenient for the infantry to move, Cao Hong ran with the soldiers.

But infantry is infantry after all, and thousands of infantry are behind, so we must pay attention not to scatter, and we really can't improve the speed.

Not for a while.

Yuan Xi's 100 snow dragon riders appeared behind Cao Hong.

At this time, Cao Hong could no longer care about those backward soldiers, and the hundreds of cavalry around him rushed to seize the road!

The cavalry lined up in a horizontal column in the rear, completely covering Cao Hong's shadow, and it was not easy to identify the direction of the commander for a while in the rear.

Plus those infantry in the rear.

There was every chance to delay Yuan Xi's time, and finally escape safely to Liyang Port.

The beauty that Cao Hong thought in his heart.

But completely overestimated the strength of those infantry fighters.

In other words, those infantry now have no courage to fight.

A hundred snow dragoons soon rushed into the moraleless infantry.

The infantry did not resist at all, and immediately scattered and fled. However, no matter how fast he escaped, he couldn't outrun the big snow dragon riding on a white horse.

In the blink of an eye, a piece died.

When the rest of the soldiers saw this, they didn't dare to run one by one.

Throw away your weapons and surrender on your knees.

"Lord, what should I do?"

Hao Zhao looked at the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground and kowtowing and surrendering, and there was no way.

This is an era of hard work and material resources, and he wants to be co-opted, but he still has to see Yuan Xi's reaction first.

Yuan Xi smiled.

"If you want to be absorbed, you can absorb it, and the group of Cao Jun in Yecheng, you can absorb it, they will all be led by you in the future, and I will only look for you if something happens." With

that, Yuan Xi ordered thirty or forty Great Snow Dragoons to guard these surrendered troops and continue to pursue those cavalry in front.

The mountains and woods that are difficult to walk quickly passed.

Now ahead, the road is smooth.

On a flat road, there is no class that can outrun the Great Snow Dragoon.

Originally, it looked quite far away, but in the blink of an eye, the big snow dragon rider appeared behind Cao Hong.

Cao Hong was anxious.

Seeing the big snow dragon rider in the rear reaping the lives of the cavalry one by one, Cao Hong knew that if he wanted to delay time any longer, he could only fight!

Cao Hong tore off Cao Cao's clothes, put them on a cavalryman beside him, and ordered the cavalryman to take dozens of people to continue running.

He stopped, turned his horse's head, grabbed his gun and charged at the Snow Dragoon!
