Three Kingdoms: defect to Liu Bei and backhand intercept Mrs. Hu Mi

The night breeze blew gently, and the corners of Kuai Liang's mouth slightly raised, his eyes looking at the battlefield.

"Xidu, my lord can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, how could he not be prepared?"

"Prepare?"

Kuai Yue was stunned and looked outside the city. After a brief silence, his eyes gleamed: "Beat the Wei Army!"

"They never showed up. Are they preparing to ambush 20,000 people?"

Lin Fan raised a smile on his lips and said with full approval: "Nothing can be hidden from your eyes, just wait and see!"

Outside the city, Cao's army reared.

The moment they saw thousands of cavalry charging out from the flanks, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Xun You all turned extremely pale.

Sure enough, these five thousand cavalry joined the battle, and Cao's army, which had the advantage, instantly fell into a disadvantage.

"Call the entire army to prepare to join the battle and surround this cavalry."

"concentrated."

Before Cao Cao finished speaking, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, General Xu Xuhuang has been beheaded!"

"Fight to the death!!"

After the scout finished speaking, he was breathing heavily, his face still showing shock, because he had just seen Xu Huang die in battle with his own eyes.

Cao Cao was startled, with a look of disbelief in his eyes: "General Xu Huang bravely conquered the three armies, how could he be killed and knocked off his horse?"

"Did Lin Fan kill him?"

"Didn't I say that you can't fight Lin Fan casually when you meet him?"

"I'm afraid no one in the world can stand up to Lin Fan if he fights alone."

The scout smiled bitterly and shook his head: "He calls himself Huang Zhong, but he is not Lin Fan at all."

Cao Cao said with a gloomy face: "Tell Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan that they should join forces and retreat immediately."

"Here!!"

The scouts retreated, and Cao Cao's face turned extremely ugly: "Wen Ruo, Gongda, I didn't expect that Lin Fan had so many powerful generals under his command, even Xu Huang, who was the most brave among the three armies, was killed."

"What should we do tonight?"

After a brief hesitation, Xun Yu said seriously: "Join our troops and return to Fancheng."

"Lin Fan is superior in skills and has captured Xiangyang long ago. Although we don't know the specific reasons, as long as we ensure the existence of the main force, Fancheng and Jiangling are in our hands, and Xiangyang City is an isolated city. How long can Lin Fan hold it?"

A flash of approval flashed in Xun You's eyes: "What uncle said is true."

"The nearest city to Xiangyang, Hefei, is more than 900 miles away, with countless mountains, rivers and ravines."

"If Lin Fan sends troops to help, we will have plenty of time to lay an ambush."

"If we can really eliminate their elites outside Jingxiang, the situation will be beneficial to us."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and pondered for a long time: "You mean to use Lin Fan as bait?"

"Attract reinforcements?"

"Surround the site for reinforcements?"

Xun Yu, Xun You nodded: "Exactly!"

"Change from active to passive and eliminate Lin Fan's vitality."

Cao Cao nodded heavily: "Yes!"

"Pass the order."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the fighting between the Chinese army became more and more fierce. Under the charge of five thousand elite cavalry, they had long been divided into several pieces.

"Wenruo, Gongda, what should we do now?"

Xun Yu and Xun You were silent for a long time: "Gather our troops together and retreat to Jiangling."

"To Gangneung?"

"Why?"

"Shouldn't we retreat to Fancheng?"

"Our ship crossing the Xiangjiang River is still there, and we have enough time to retreat."

Xun Yu said: "First of all, there is trouble crossing the river. Our purpose is to pin down Lin Fan in Xiangyang and gather superior forces to ambush his army that is about to rush to Jingxiang. If it is inconvenient to send troops in Fancheng, let alone Fancheng's 30,000 troops. The retreat path of our army is also the last guarantee of escape for the army and must not be touched."

"Huang Zu is now ready to help."

"Second, retreat now. If Lin Fan deploys a naval force on the Xiangjiang River in advance, it won't take much. He can just entangle us at the dock and attack us from both sides. How can we escape?" Cao Cao nodded slowly: "Wen Ruo That’s true.”

"Send orders to Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan to join forces and kill toward the southeast!"

"Don't be obsessed with fighting!!"

"quick!!"

On the chaotic battlefield, Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren quickly received Cao Cao's order.

If they had suffered such a big loss before, they would never leave easily. They would definitely fight to the death and not give up until Xiangyang City was captured.

But after fighting against Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry, the feeling of powerlessness left them filled with bitterness.

Facing the more than ten riders who were running amok, they had no choice at all.

Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalrymen never held back their hands when killing people. They raised their hands and struck with a sword. Cao Bing couldn't stop him with one strike, and his head fell to the ground.

In the two quarters of an hour of fighting, more than thousands of Cao's soldiers died among Yanyun's eighteen riders.

Even they, the generals, felt helpless and full of bitterness, so what about the rest of the soldiers?

I originally wanted to advise Cao Cao to retreat, but now he happened to receive such an order, how could he refuse?

Looking at each other, the two of them rushed towards both sides in unison.

"Soldiers, follow the Prime Minister to the southeast corner to break through!"

"Walk!!"

As the order was issued to the entire army, Cao Bing, whose fighting spirit was already low, no longer dared to confront the cavalry led by Yuwen Chengdu and Zhao Yun.

One by one, they gave up on the opponents in front of them and swarmed toward the southeast.

Almost everyone is rushing to be the first and there is no structure.

Such a breakout is no different from a collapse.

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren screamed desperately, trying to regroup and even ordered their own soldiers to kill those who were fleeing.

But Cao's soldiers, who had been frightened for a long time, were not moved at all, and the chaos continued to spread. Cao's army, which could have held on for a few quarters of an hour, now could not withstand even a quarter of an hour.

Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren's faces were ashen, and their eyes could almost spit out fire.

"We have to take a heavy blow."

"We can't let these people act recklessly, otherwise the Prime Minister's breakout plan will definitely be disrupted!"

"Yes, kill!"

"Don't be soft!!"

After saying this, Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren rushed out, taking their trusted cavalry with them. Wherever they went, they killed all those who ran around without mercy.

After killing hundreds of people one after another, the retreat was stopped.

Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren breathed a long sigh of relief.

Cao Cao, who was following the breakout, saw this scene and felt relieved.

Just now, he was in a cold sweat with Xun Yu and Xun You.

Fortunately, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren did not disappoint him.

"At one go, break out of the siege!"

"rush!!"

A group of thirty to forty thousand people gritted their teeth and attacked the already weak encirclement.

Finally, Xia Houyuan, who was covered in blood, led his troops to break out of the siege. While ordering the army to march, he greeted Cao Cao who was coming.

"I've met my lord. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my destiny and finally made a bloody path."

"It's just that there are still pursuers behind us. How about I stop the rear and block these people?"

Cao Cao laughed, without the sadness on his face.

Xia Houyuan was stunned and asked in confusion: "Why is the Prime Minister laughing? Did I say something wrong?"

"Why are you smiling so much?"

Cao Cao shook his head: "I laugh at Lin Fan who is young after all."

"Although his military power is unparalleled in the world, his intelligence is obviously insufficient."

Xia Houyuan was puzzled: "Lord, what do you mean by this?"
