Cao Cao's orders are a bit confusing. Generally, the cavalry is in front and the infantry is in the back. The cavalry tears up the enemy's formation and the infantry harvests the enemy.
"promise."
Facing Cao Cao's order, his soldiers did not question it at all, but just nodded in agreement.
"Lord, an unknown army has been spotted in the rear."
Just when Liu Bei persuaded the Yellow Turban Army to surrender, a scout hurriedly rushed to him.
"Who is it? Is it Wang Gong's troops who are here to attack?"
After hearing what the scout said, Liu Bei felt bad. Now was the critical moment. Why would an army appear behind him? Could it be that Wang Gong was preparing to kill the donkey?
"My subordinates don't know, they can only see clearly the banner with the word Cao."
Hearing Liu Bei's question, the scout shook his head. It would be good if he could find the enemy in time. He expected to know who the enemy was. He really thought highly of him.
When he heard the banner with the word Cao, a name instantly appeared in Liu Bei's mind, that is Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, the cavalry captain who was defeated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo and nearly wiped out his entire army.
Cao Cao is a heroic figure. If the enemy is really him, then this battle will be very dangerous.
"The rear team will meet the enemy, and the front team will move forward. Those who resist in the corner will be killed without mercy."
Now it can no longer be the same as before. There are remaining Yellow Turban enemies in front of us, and enemies suspected of being Cao Cao are coming behind us. If we continue to delay, we may have to face a situation of flanking attacks from both front and rear.
"Those who stubbornly resist will be killed without mercy."
"Kill kill kill."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also saw the smoke column in the distance. Now the probability of the enemy coming was countless times higher than the probability of their friends, so they immediately went back and killed them.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei counterattacked much faster than when they came, and the Yellow Turban Army did not dare to step forward to stop them without their faith.
"Cavalry, attack."
The distance between the two armies was getting closer and closer. Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he directly ordered the cavalry to attack.
Cao Cao retained a cavalry force of 500 people during the Battle of Dong Zhuo. This force was his favorite and he would not use it easily.
The reason why the cavalry was placed behind the infantry just now was to hide the movements of the cavalry and prevent the enemy from preparing in advance and causing excessive casualties to the cavalry.
Although Cao Cao's cavalry only had 500 men, the furious hooves of the 500 horses shook the world like a landslide.
"It's actually a cavalry."
Liu Bei also had cavalry. If he hadn't lost all his cavalry in the battle with Yuan Shu, this battle might have ended long ago.
The five hundred cavalrymen, with arrows drawn by Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other six generals, directly hit the military formation composed of Liu Bei's rear troops.
"kill."
Xiahou Dun fired his long spear, bringing out a little starlight, and stabbed three or four Liu Beijun in front of him to death on the spot.
Xia Houyuan's broadsword was unparalleled in sharpness, and his horizontal and vertical slashes cut all Liu Bei's troops in front of him in half, leaving blood everywhere.
Cao Ren's spear was sharp and the iron spear turned into an axe. During the opening and closing, several Liu Bei soldiers were killed because of their shield damage.
Cao Hong used a tiger-headed sword and swung it out with a burst of wind and a violent sound, killing one of Liu Bei's soldiers on the ground.
Le Jin held his gun and transformed into a dragon. With the gun light, all the enemies in front of him covered their chests and fell to the ground dead.
Li Dian also had a spear, but it was really powerful, like an iron rod, and he could sweep people away casually.
Six generals, six fighting styles, but the result is the same, that is, overwhelming power, like entering an uninhabited land.
Six gaps appeared, and the five hundred cavalrymen were like maggots attached to the bones, following the gaps of the six men and tearing Liu Bei's army to pieces.
The cavalry charged forward, and Cao Cao's infantry did not fail at all. Facing the well-organized enemy, Liu Bei's army was crushed to pieces without any room for resistance.
"Brother, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. You lead a large force to rush through the Yellow Turban Army, join the rear group and evacuate quickly."
Feeling the enemy's strength, Zhang Fei rode his horse to Liu Bei's side.
"Third brother, how could I do this?"
Liu Bei was also stunned when he heard Zhang Fei's words.
"Brother, what the third brother said is true. Our army has suffered heavy casualties in a long battle, and its physical strength is also weak. However, the enemy is recharging his energy and coming well prepared. If we fight head-on now, it will only be a lose-lose situation for both sides.
It’s better to say goodbye for now and fight again later.”
Guan Yu did the same. He rode his horse to Liu Bei and explained his views to him.
"But."
Liu Bei was still hesitating. After all, he had spent all his strength to achieve the current situation. He was really unwilling to give up like this.
"Brother, if you are unwilling, you can grab these yellow scarves and run away together. As long as we don't fall into the enemy's hands, we have a chance."
Although Zhang Fei is sometimes simple and honest, he can often detect the truest thoughts of others, and at this moment he also sensed Liu Bei's reluctance to leave these Yellow Turbans.
"good."
Zhang Fei's words were quite right for Liu Bei, so he nodded directly.
"Brother, you go first, I will lead my personal guards to stop the enemy."
Now that he had decided to leave, Guan Yu volunteered to stay and stop the enemy.
"Second brother, I'll accompany you."
Zhang Fei also smiled and rode his horse to Guan Yu's side.
"Okay, I'll leave it to my second and third brothers."
Without any hesitation, Liu Bei was absolutely assured that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were blocking the enemy.
"The former army will follow me to drive away the Yellow Turbans."
As soon as Liu Bei drew out his swords, he led his soldiers and horses and began to kill the bewildered Yellow Turban Army, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led nearly a thousand men and horses to rush back.
"I am Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, a lieutenant under the command of Pingyang Prefect. Who dares to come and die?"
"I am Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, a lieutenant under the command of Pingyang Prefect. Who dares to come and die?"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei raised their horses and appeared in front of Cao Cao's army.
"Don't be wordy with them. Follow your lord's instructions. The cavalry continues to charge. Cao Hong and Li Dian will follow me to stop Guan Yu. Yuan Rang and Zhang Fei will be left to you."
Cao Ren took the lead and stabbed Guan Yu directly with the iron spear in his hand, while behind him were Cao Hong's broadsword and Li Dian's steel spear.
Facing the two spears and one sword that came at him, Guan Yu's face was solemn. He split Cao Ren's Iron Spear with a vertical slash of his Yanyue Sword, and then blocked Li Dian and Cao Hong with a horizontal slash.
But just as he blocked the attacks of the two men, Cao Ren's iron spear pierced his back like an evil dragon.
Guan Yu leaned down to avoid Cao Ren's iron spear, and then swung his Yanyue sword to kill Cao Ren's head.
"clang."
Cao Hong's broadsword appeared in time and blocked Guan Yu's Yanyue Sword, and then Li Dian's iron spear also stabbed Guan Yu's chest from an angle.
The Yanyue Sword slashed back, knocking Li Dian's iron spear away, and then struck him in the head.
Unfortunately, Cao Ren's iron spear also arrived immediately and blocked the Yanyue Sword.
The four of them were fighting like this, going back and forth, inseparable, and it was the same here, and it was the same with Zhang Fei.
Facing the three generals Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and Yue Jin, Zhang Fei had to use all his strength.
