A figure rode up, and saw a white war horse descending from the air. Immediately behind him was a general in white, with a spear in his hand aimed at Dian Wei's vitals.
"Meng Qi!"
Hearing the familiar shouts, Pang De looked up and saw Ma Chao coming from across the sky, with the spear in his hand already in front of Dian Wei.
Dian Wei's burly body suppressed the injured Pang De with one hand, while the other hand was raised to grab the spear in Ma Chao's hand.
When Pang De fought against Dian Wei, no one else knew how strong Dian Wei was. Even he was no match for Dian Wei. Although Ma Chao was said to be a demon with a natural talent, and with his level of cultivation, it was almost impossible to find an opponent at the same level.
But it is much worse than Dian Wei Lai.
So when he saw Ma Chao suddenly cutting in and trying to save him from Dian Wei, Pang De, instead of feeling happy, actually broke into a cold sweat for Ma Chao.
Ma Chao took advantage of Ma Teng's negligence and ran over to try to rescue Pound. Seeing that Dian Weifei had no intention of letting Pound go, he even used only one hand to deal with himself. This clearly meant that he didn't take him to heart.
.
Ma Chao felt a little unconvinced in his heart, and the spear in his hand became even more powerful. The sky was full of gun shadows. If it were an ordinary person facing such an offensive, he would not even be able to see where the true form of the spear was.
Not found.
However, Dian Wei's big hand like a leaf fan was directly immersed in the shadow of the gun in the sky, and he accurately grasped the tip of the spear in Ma Chao's hand, and then pulled hard.
Ma Chao, who was riding on the horse, was slightly startled. Before he could recover from the sudden turn of events, a terrifying force swept in along the spear.
Ma Chao subconsciously tightened his grip on the spear, but his body was involuntarily pulled by Dian Wei.
"Abandon the gun and run away!"
Pang De, who was suppressed by Dian Wei's hand, suddenly burst out with endless strength and tried to get up, but was scolded by Dian Wei and suppressed again.
However, due to Pound's interference, Dian Wei, who was originally distracted from dealing with Ma Chao, had to focus most of his energy on suppressing Pound, but Ma Chao escaped.
Ma Chao, who exploded with all his strength, retreated violently. Even though Pang De didn't warn him, Ma Chao realized that something was wrong just after the fight. The gap between himself and Dian Wei was really too big, and he almost hurt himself with just one move.
Ma Chao, who retreated rapidly, saw that Dian Wei was still suppressing Pang De with one hand, and cold sweat broke out on his back. If Pang De hadn't suddenly burst out and restrained Dian Wei, he might have already
It fell into the hands of Dian Wei.
He thought that even if he was no match for a strong man like Dian Wei, he would at least be able to protect himself due to his own cultivation. However, what he never imagined was that the gap between him and a strong man like Dian Wei would be so huge.
Taking a deep breath, Ma Chao tightened his grip on the spear in his hand and watched with dismay as Dian Wei grinned at him and strode away with Pang De in his hand.
Ma Chao opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. Do you want Dian Wei to let Pound go? As long as Dian Wei is not a fool, he will definitely not let a strong general like Pound go.
Since it was useless to plead for mercy and rely on force, Ma Chao could only watch Dian Wei take Pang De away.
Ma Teng and his soldiers arrived in front of Ma Chao. Seeing that Ma Chao was safe, Ma Teng breathed a sigh of relief. Then he turned cold and said angrily to Ma Chao: "My son is so bold. If it weren't for Pang Lingming just now, you might have fallen."
If you fall into the opponent's hands, do you still dare to underestimate the strongest in the world?"
Ma Chao's face showed a bit of bitterness, and he bowed to Ma Teng and said, "The child is too ignorant and underestimated the heroes of the world. He will never be like this again."
Glancing at Ma Chao, Ma Teng just snorted coldly. As a father, he knows very well what kind of temperament his son has. Ma Chao may be able to live in peace for a while after receiving this lesson, but in the future, Ma Chao's cultivation will greatly increase.
Old habits will emerge, and it is extremely difficult to change their nature.
After waving his hand, Ma Teng shifted his attention from Ma Chao to the battle between the two armies.
Because they had to risk their lives to bite off a piece of meat from the imperial army, even if the army was at a disadvantage, Yuan Shao and other princes still ordered their men to hold high the flag and sit in the army to stabilize the morale of the army. Therefore, it seemed that the coalition forces at this time
It is at a disadvantage, but it is actually still some distance away from collapse.
In particular, the elites of the coalition forces desperately fought back against the offensive of the imperial troops. Although Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and others were the pioneers, they were on the battlefield with hundreds of thousands of troops, and their personal strength was extremely difficult.
Being restrained, a few fierce generals can at most open up the situation locally, but it is unrealistic to suppress an army of 100,000 with the force of a few people.
After all, the generals in the coalition are not all useless. With the entanglement and delay of these generals, the role played by powerful generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the army is not exaggerated, so in the end it will fall on both sides.
The army is fighting above.
There is me among the armies of both sides, and there is you among me. The sound of fighting is loud, and soldiers fall down all the time. However, if someone falls, there will be others who come after him. At this time, human life is as insignificant as grass and mustard.
.
Seeing this situation, although Yuan Shao furrowed his brows, there was a look of satisfaction on his face. Although the current situation was very bad, Yuan Shao was deeply saddened by the deaths and injuries of those elite soldiers.
You must know that those are all elites, but now they are being used up little by little in this battle. How can this not make Yuan Shao heartbroken?
But even if it hurts, they still have to watch these elites fill in. The most important thing is that if they don't fight Chu Yi to the death, their end may not be much better in the end.
Now it seems that they have suffered heavy losses, but in fact the losses on the court's side are not small at all. After all, the soldiers on both sides are all elites, and there is not much difference. The only difference is in the generals who command the army.
The imperial side had strong generals such as Huang Zhong, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, and their morale was high. While the coalition side had many strong generals, they were inferior to those of the imperial side. They simply relied on the lives of their soldiers to fight to the death.
Gradually, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others retreated to the vicinity of Yuan Shao and other princes. Han Fu and Ma Teng's trusted generals also retreated. It was obvious that they had a back-up plan. After all, they knew that this battle would happen.
What is the result? If there is no backup, it is impossible for a few people to become princes.
At this time, more than one-third of the coalition forces had been killed or injured, and the price paid by the imperial court was not small. Even if there were strong generals holding the battle, the cost was no less than the casualties of more than 10,000 elite soldiers. It can be said that the loss was huge.
Small.
There was a burst of smoke and dust, and a cavalry was seen roaring towards them. It was Gongsun Zan who was heading to the coalition camp to stop Lu Bu's troops.
Seeing Gongsun Zan and Baima Yi roaring in from the crowd, Yuan Shao and others couldn't help but their eyes lit up, and they all looked at Gongsun Zan.
"Prefect Gongsun, how is the camp?"
If the losses to the camp were not serious, they could retreat to the camp. With hundreds of thousands of troops in hand, even if they failed this time, they could still rely on the camp to continue the confrontation with the imperial court in front of Hulao Pass.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they don't want to be defeated and flee to all sides, because Yuan Shao and the others know very well that if they lose today, when they rise again in the future, they will probably be in a situation where the heroes are divided.
Facing the expectant looks of Yuan Shao and others, Gongsun Zan shook his head slightly and sighed softly: "That Lu Bu is like a ghost and god, leading the army to rampage through the camp, almost destroying the entire camp, including food and crops.
Countless people were burned by it..."
Han Fu exclaimed: "Where is Yuan Gongli? He is not leading a large army to sit in the army. He has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands. Even if Lu Bu is unparalleled in the world, he will not let Lu Bu have no resistance in the camp.
, do whatever you want."
In the eyes of Han Fu, Ma Teng and others, although Lu Bu is strong, even if the hundreds of thousands of troops are old, weak, sick and disabled, they are not so vulnerable. As long as Yuan Shu is determined and prepared, he will not appear.
The collapse of the coalition forces.
Gongsun Zan shook his head and sighed: "When I rushed there, I didn't see Yuan Jiujiu at all. There were broken troops everywhere and they were in chaos. Some soldiers said that Yuan Jiujiu had already fled without a trace, and some
The soldiers said that Yuan Jiujiu was captured alive by the imperial army. Anyway, they said whatever they said. There was no way to distinguish the truth from the truth. Fortunately, the army led by the traitor Lu Bu was already exhausted, so he was stopped by General Zhang He of a certain alliance.
And force them back."
Finally having some good news, Yuan Shao's eyes lit up and he said: "Oh, I wonder where Zhang He is at this time?"
Gongsun Zan said: 'At this moment, General Zhang He is gathering the defeated troops in the coalition camp and sorting out the food that was lucky enough to be saved, but...'
Gongsun Zan said with a look of hesitation on his face, and several people couldn't help but feel in their hearts when they saw this. For Gongsun Zan to be like this, could there be some bad news?
Han Fu looked at Gongsun Zan and couldn't help but said, "Just what?"
Gongsun Zan said: "In my opinion, even if some food was saved by luck, it is not much. We are short of food..."
Gongsun Zan said with a look of helplessness on his face. Anyone with a little common sense would know that for a large army, the most terrifying thing is not how strong the enemy is, but the lack of food at home.
Once food and grass are deprived, even the elite elites cannot withstand it for three to five days, and they will all turn into soft-legged shrimps, allowing them to be manipulated.
After hearing Gongsun Zan's words, several people's expressions changed. The thing they were most worried about had happened. Without food and grass, what could a million-strong army do?
"Yuan Jiujiu, who failed to succeed but failed more than failed, the coalition forces were deceived by him this time!"
As a warrior, Ma Teng is naturally outspoken and can't hold back what he says in his heart. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yuan Shu must bear a huge responsibility for the defeat of the coalition forces, so Ma Teng can't help but scold him.
Yuan Shu.
Even Yuan Shao was speechless when he heard Ma Teng scolding Yuan Shu. It was he who gave the order for Yuan Shu to sit in the coalition camp. Yuan Shao's original intention was to keep Yuan Shu in the camp, but Yuan Shu was not under his command.
The result of making trouble was not good. Yuan Shu no longer fought with him in the ring, but the result was that the lifeblood of the alliance was completely lost.
It’s not scary if the camp is lost. It’s not scary if hundreds of thousands of troops are lost. What’s scary is that the food and grass are destroyed. Without food and grass, everything will naturally cease to exist.
Even if Yuan Shao has the power to gather the defeated army, but when the time comes, what will he do to fill the hungry stomachs of these defeated troops?
With a long sigh, Yuan Shao cupped his hands towards Gongsun Zan and said, "It's all thanks to General Gongsun this time. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to get even the last bit of grain. No matter what, with the remaining grain and grass, we won't really be able to survive."
into dire straits.”
Even if you are running away, you must have a full stomach before you have the strength to run away. Otherwise, if everyone is hungry, they may not be able to run far before they are overtaken by the imperial army.
Therefore, when Yuan Shao and others learned that Zhang He was collecting the last supplies from the coalition forces, they felt a little relieved, even though this was the worst outcome they had considered.
Gongsun Zan glanced at the armies of both sides that were fighting in the distance, and couldn't help but frown. It was too tragic. Too many soldiers were killed and injured in the fight for no reason, not only on the coalition side, but also on the court side.
There were also many casualties.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Chu Yi couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the army that suffered heavy casualties. He rose up into the sky and saw that Chu Yi's aura surged. An extremely terrifying aura filled the air, and a terrifying aura enveloped him.
Almost the entire battlefield was covered, and for a moment almost everyone subconsciously looked towards the sky.
However, in their sight, a full moon filled their sight, and it just fell straight down from the sky.
Yuan Shao and others who were watching the battle in the army suddenly felt a warning sign in their hearts and felt a sense of death threat.
Looking up, Yuan Shao and others couldn't help but change their expressions. Gongsun Zan even blurted out: "How is this possible? How could the Chu thief have such terrifying strength? This... this is impossible..."
Apparently Gongsun Zan and others had recognized Chu Yi after that full moon, and they obviously did not expect that Chu Yi would have such terrifying strength.
This blow obviously locked their auras, which meant that Chu Yi wanted to fight and keep them all.
As long as a few of them are left behind, even if the imperial court suffers a lot of losses in this battle, it will still be enough to frighten the world. I am afraid that not many people will dare to jump out to oppose the imperial court for a while. It will also be enough to fight for the imperial court.
Time to recuperate.
But once the princes like Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, and Han Fu, who famously rebelled against the imperial court, were allowed to escape, the world would surely be in an uproar.
If the imperial court can't even capture these people, doesn't it mean that the imperial court is extremely weak? If that happens, I'm afraid how many ambitious people will jump out to resist the imperial court, and the world will be in chaos.
