Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 441 Breaking through the enemy army and reaching Xuchang

Cao Cao quickly made a decision.

He wants to withdraw troops.

It is useless for them to stay without withdrawing troops, but it will put huge logistical pressure on them.

It will also slowly consume their morale.

"Send it to Xun You immediately."

It will take a few days for this to be delivered.

In the past few days, Zhang Ming will not be idle.

Zhang Ming's special forces continued to wreak havoc in the rear.

They even ran around their camp twice and set fire to it, causing great panic to Cao Jun.

Cao Jun's strategy has failed.

lost heavily.

In the past few days, they have lost more than 4000 people and a lot of food.

In this battle, the special forces suffered many injuries. After all, in high-intensity combat, special forces will also get sick and get injured.

A few days later, Xun You received Cao Cao's reply, and then summoned everyone.

All the generals are here.

They all looked at Xun You.

Xun You's momentum was insufficient, and he couldn't restrain the crowd.

"Everyone, the lord has ordered the withdrawal of the troops, and Zhang Ming will definitely pursue them."

"Therefore, we must do a good job of intercepting."

Xun You began to assign tasks.

"First of all, Marquis Wen will guard the mountain pass first, and let the other troops withdraw. After we all evacuate, Marquis Wen will evacuate again, and then Xiahou Dun will be in the rear."

Xun You arranged it properly, leaving everyone speechless.

The troops began to withdraw.

When Zhang Ming found out, he did not continue to let the special forces attack, but withdrew.

The special forces fight against the army, if they are a little careless, they are easy to lose, and it is not worth it at all.

"Brother, it's too boring for them to withdraw before this battle is fought."

Zhang Fei has been here for more than a month, but he hasn't won any battles, and he is very upset.

"You fought. Next, we will take down the entire Yanzhou."

Now that the battle has been fought, Zhang Ming knows that Cao Cao can't hold Yanzhou anymore.

The army began to retreat, very slowly.

It took four days for them all to withdraw from the mountain.

At this time, Lu Bu was guarding the mountain pass, and Zhang Ming could not advance.

Finally Xun You led the army away, and then Lu Bu also withdrew.

At this time, Zhang Ming led his troops to pursue.

Lu Bu had [-] soldiers and horses.

Zhang Ming chased after him.

"Zhang Ming, dare to fight."

Zhang Ming led his men in pursuit, but Lu Bu was intercepted by Chen Bing at the intersection.

"Marquis Wen, now is not a good time to single out, I will besiege you later."

Zhang Ming would not waste time with Lu Bu and let Xun You go away calmly.

"Third brother, fourth brother, join me in besieging and killing Lu Bu."

Zhang Ming led his troops to cover up and kill them.

Lu Bu fought with him.

Generals such as Zhang Liao and Zang Ba stepped forward to help.

The two sides fought for dozens of rounds, and Lu Bu was defeated and fled with his troops.

In this battle, Zhang Ming beheaded thousands of Cao's troops.

Lu Bu fled, Zhang Ming continued to pursue.

Ahead, Xiahou Dun was ambushing by the side of the road, Zhang Ming and the others pursued and fell into an ambush.

During the fight, Lu Bu led his troops to kill again.

However, within half an hour of the battle between the two sides, Gao Shun and Gao Lan led troops from the rear to defeat Xiahou Dun.

Lu Bu and Xiahou Dun retreated together.

In this battle, Zhang Ming lost thousands of troops, and Cao Cao also lost some troops.

Cao Jun's army is running.

Zhang Ming led the army into three parts to catch up.

The front army, the middle army and the rear army.

The rear army has 3 people, mainly transporting grain and grass.

In the former army, Zhang Ming led 5 people.

The rest are in the Chinese Army.

In the Chinese army, the leader will be Gao Shun.

The three armies attacked and chased Cao Jun.

Zhang Ming and the others chased to a large plain where reeds lined the roadside.

"Brother, there may be an ambush here."

"Don't be afraid, the Chinese army is only half an hour away from us. Even if there is an ambush, we still have to take risks."

Zhao Yun reminded him that there was an ambush, and Zhang Ming also felt that there might be an ambush.

However, if they wasted time here, it was because of Xun You's trick that they could walk away calmly.

"Yide, you lead 1 people forward and run forward."

"Here."

Zhang Fei rushed forward with 1 people.

After walking for a few minutes, Zhang Ming said, "For the rest, we will walk forward normally."

Zhang Fei and the others ran and quickly opened up the distance.

Here, Cao Jun's army was indeed ambushed.

Lu Bu led 2 men, and Xia Houyuan also led 2 men, ambush on both sides.

However, at this time Zhang Ming divided his troops.

Xia Houyuan couldn't decide for a while.

"Ambush Zhang Ming's army, and let Lu Bu send another general to block Zhang Fei."

Xun You confessed to let them block here for a few hours.

Xun You's original intention was to let Lu Bu and Xia Houyuan let Zhang Ming find out that there was an ambush here, so he was afraid to go forward.

At least it needs to be arranged, and it will delay a certain amount of time later.

The order was conveyed quietly.

Zhang Fei moved forward quickly and opened the distance.

Zhang Ming didn't even send anyone to check the left and right, but directly pursued him.

There is no need to investigate anything.

An ambush is an ambush. Zhang Ming is not afraid of an ambush. If an ambush is made, the enemy's army is not as large as them. In the end, it is not certain who will win and who will win.

If one of their troops can be wiped out, the future battles will be easier to fight.

"kill."

When they arrived at the ambush site, Zhang Ming and Zhang Fei were separated by several miles.

At this time, Xia Houyuan and Lu Bu led the crowd to fight out.

At that time, Lu Bu sent several generals and [-] troops to intercept Zhang Fei.

When Zhang Fei received the news that Zhang Ming was attacked, he immediately returned and killed him.

Tens of thousands of enemy troops were killed.

Zhang Ming's face was serious.

"Fourth brother, you lead the army to the left."

Zhao Yun dispatched troops and horses to attack Xia Houyuan.

And Zhang Ming rushed to Lu Bu.

The two met again on the battlefield.

"Marquis Liao, you are not so lucky this time."

There are no Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei around Zhang Ming, and he is the only general at present.

"Marquis Wen, it's still unknown who will win the battle."

"Come to fight."

Lu Bu came over, and Zhang Ming came over.

Battle a few tricks, regardless of top or bottom.

"Compared to the last battle, Marquis Liao has improved."

Zhang Ming stood holding the gun and said, "Marquis Wen is getting old."

Lu Bu was furious and came to kill again.

The two fought for more than ten rounds, but they were still tied.

At this time, the soldiers on both sides had already killed each other, and the battle was fierce.

Zhang Ming charged at Lu Bu again.

The two bombarded each other.

With similar strength, the two fought fiercely.

For more than ten rounds, each used their big moves.

Zhang Ming's marksmanship has also been tempered, and his strength has been further improved.

Zhang Ming, there are many good players around him who can feed his moves, and his strength has improved rapidly.

Lv Bu was already seeking defeat alone, and he rarely went to the battlefield recently, so his strength was not improving.

The two fought fiercely, and it was hard to tell the winner.

In other places, the two armies fought fiercely.

Speaking of Zhang Fei, several generals under Lu Bu came to kill him.

Zhang Fei was not afraid at all. He knew that Zhang Ming had already made arrangements. Although he was ambushed, there was no danger.

Therefore, fight with the enemy.

After fighting for more than a hundred rounds, Zhang Fei killed several Lv Bu generals.

Lv Bu didn't know yet that among his eight strong generals, only Zhang Liao and Zang Ba were left, and the rest of the generals had been killed.

Zhang Liao followed Lu Bu to the left and right, and at this time he led his troops to besiege and kill Zhang Ming's army.

And Zang Ba also went to intercept Zhang Fei, but Zang Ba had been commanding the army, so he did not participate in the besieging and killing Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei killed several generals, and the tiger's body shook.

Lead troops to kill.

Zang Ba was alone, unable to resist, and led his troops to retreat.

Here, Zhang Ming and Lu Bu fought for more than a hundred rounds, and it was hard to tell the winner.

The two of them made frequent killing moves.

On Zhao Yun's side, Xia Houyuan was no match for Zhao Yun.

Although Zhao Yun and the others were ambushed, they also went against the trend, and the two sides fought to a close.

At this time Zang Ba was defeated and retreated.

Zhang Fei came to help.

"What is Lu Bu doing, why did the enemy kill him?"

Zhang Fei approached them. Although Lu Bu's army was still resisting, they might be penetrated at any time and come to their side.

Xia Houyuan didn't dare to fight Zhao Yun head-on, so he retreated.

At this time, Xia Houyuan discovered that the situation of the battle was gradually unfavorable.

"Prepare to retreat."

"Go and inform Lu Bu."

Xia Houyuan planned to retreat, and their order was to slow down Zhang Ming's pursuit.

As soon as Xia Houyuan gave the order to retreat, Zhang Ming led his men and killed them.

Lu Bu joined forces with Xia Houyuan and came back again.

The two sides fought for a while on the main road, and Cao Jun left again.

Zhang Ming organized a little [-] troops and pursued them again.

In this way, after chasing back and forth three times, everyone was exhausted, so that's all.

Cao Jun went away.

However, when they were resting, they counted and found that they had lost thousands of people. Lu Bu was very angry.

Because, the only generals in his lineage are Zang Ba and Zhang Liao.

Lu Bu didn't say anything, but he was already very angry in his heart.

This time, Zhang Ming's loss was relatively large, and he also lost thousands of people, more than a thousand people more than the enemy.

However, Zhang Ming felt that it was worth it.

Moreover, they also beheaded several of their generals.

After days of chasing and fighting a few more times, Zhang Ming let the soldiers take a good rest.

Gao Shun had already rounded with him, and Zhang Ming changed his soldiers and horses again, so that the soldiers who had not participated in the battle before continued to chase after him.

Gao Shun didn't want to be an enemy of Lu Bu, and Zhang Ming didn't force it either.

This time, after resting for a whole night, Zhang Ming led the army out first, and then Gao Shun led the army out.

Zhang Ming pursued again.

Cao Jun has been running for several days.

In the case of interception later, Xun You led tens of thousands of troops smoothly.

On the other side, Xi Zhicai judged that the battle situation will soon reverse.

Immediately follow Zhang Yun, leave the luggage in the occupied county, and lead the army to set off.

They went up lightly, without any luggage.

Each soldier carried dry food for several days.

When passing through villages and towns, directly collect grain.

They collected food, sent money directly, and wrote a note telling them that when they went to the rear city, they could directly ask our army to receive food.

Xi Zhicai didn't care whether they believed it or not, he gave them money anyway.

Although they forcibly expropriated food, they also gave enough money. In addition, if they were willing and dared to go, they could receive the food with notes.

Xi Zhicai and the others went straight through the city without attacking.

After passing through two cities, Xi Zhi felt that he needed to replenish food and grass.

"Listen to the defenders inside, Cao Jun has already fled south, and when he has become a lone army, immediately open the city and surrender."

The Jundu in the city had already run away, and the rest were panicked. They didn't dare to resist and opened the city directly.

Xi Zhicai and the others entered the city, rested for a long time, and took some food and grass.

"You guard the city well and wait for our army to take over and maintain order in the city. Our army has always treated prisoners preferentially. If you have meritorious service, you can directly distribute the land for the people on the spot."

Xi Zhicai did not disarm them and let them continue to defend the city.

The army in the city, thank you Dade.

Xi Zhicai chased all the way south, and along the way, many cities directly surrendered.

In the rear, Zhang Ming has already notified the defenders to move south, preparing to take over these places.

To defeat Yanzhou, Zhang Ming doesn't need to deploy many troops in Jizhou and Qingzhou.

Especially in Qingzhou, half of the army can be sent over.

Go south as a whole.

At this time, Xu Rong's army also moved south.

At the same time, Guan Yu in Xuzhou rectified his troops and prepared to go straight to Xuchang, threatening the safety of Cao Cao's rear.

At this time, Zhang Ming had gained an absolute advantage.

The army continued to move south.

Chase and escape all the way.

Xun You led the army all the way south.

Zhang Ming chased closer again.

"Military division, Zhang Ming came after him again, about fifty miles behind him."

Xun You frowned. He had written urgently to warn Cao Cao.

Cao Cao has already planned to transfer a group of people for the last time, and then take the emperor to the south for the last time.

He must be in Xuchang at this time and cannot run away.

Anyone can run, Cao Cao and the emperor can't just run away.

In the past few days, bad news has been coming.

Cao Cao couldn't stand it either.

Has secretly ordered to go south.

At this time, Cao Cao had transferred tens of thousands of people to the south.

On Xun You's side, after hearing that Zhang Ming came to kill him again.

Xiahou Dun came out and said, "Give me an army of [-], and I will stop Zhang Ming. The army division will lead the army quickly to join the lord."

"Okay, General Xiahou, set up a shield array for defense, don't take the initiative to fight, and retreat in a few hours. I will arrange an army to set up an ambush to meet you."

Immediately, Xun You divided his troops again.

The crowd set off again.

Xiahou Dun set up his formation on the spot.

, [-] troops formed a square formation to block the road.

A few hours later, Zhang Ming came to kill him. It was already dark, and Zhang Ming began to arrange torches.

He will attack overnight.

Let's defeat Xiahou Dun first.

"Prepare clay pots and attack."

Zhang Ming was ready to attack hard.

The army rushed up, attacking with burning clay pots while fighting.

These clay pots contain gasoline and cause no small trouble to the enemy.

However, there are not many things after all.

After fighting for more than three hours, Xiahou Dun left thousands of people behind and led his army to leave.

Zhang Ming camped in place.

After resting in the middle of the night, Zhang Ming set off again.

The army pursued again.

In the early morning, Lv Bu ambushed them, and this time they fought for half an hour. Lv Bu retreated on his own initiative, and Zhang Ming pursued them again.

During the pursuit and escape, they fought for more than ten rounds for several days.

Xun You led the army to leave first, but he had already run far away and could not pursue him.

At this time, Xi Zhicai and Zhang Yun led the army, went south from the east, and then turned to the west, looking for Xun You's army.

Xun You was shocked, he didn't expect Xi Zhicai and the others to be so fast.

With only two days away from them, Xun You told the whole army to give up rest and go south quickly.

At this time, Guan Yu was also ready.

Immediately, tens of thousands of troops rushed towards Xuchang.

Cao Cao was shocked.

Send [-] troops to block the front city.

And he immediately packed his things and headed south with 10,000+ soldiers and civilians.

At this time, Emperor Liu Xie also went south with them.

great migration.

Zhang Ming's three-way army attacked Yanzhou in three directions.

Suddenly, many places in Yanzhou were unstoppable, and the fall has become a settlement.

Guan Yu rushed over.

When encountering the [-] troops defending the enemy, they immediately launched a fierce attack.

Guan Yu led an army of [-].

The whole army attacked.

After two days of mad attack, Cao Jun led about 1 troops to escape.

Guan Yu occupied the city.

"Next is Xuchang."

Guan Yu continued to march all the way to the outside of Xuchang City.

Xuchang, after all, has been run by Cao Cao for many years, is very strong.

However, there are only more than 2 troops in the city.
