Chapter 594 The Final Battle

Cheng Liang quickly rushed down the city gate and moved the sandbags away.

Zhu Ye, Zhao Yun and others had been waiting impatiently. As they watched the city gate slowly open, Liu He gave the order: "All troops attack!"

Before Liu He could even utter the word "attack", these people rushed out like sharp arrows.

However, after they rushed into the pass, they only saw Cheng Liang and a group of soldiers he led, and no longer saw any trace of the enemy.

Cheng Liang came over and shouted, "Brother, Yuan Shao has led his army to retreat eastward."

"This guy is smart. He knows he can't hold on, so he simply withdraws his troops. Brother, let's chase him."

Zhu Ye saw that he had been fighting for a long time but had not gained any credit. He couldn't help but feel itchy and just wanted to chase after them and have a good fight.

Xun You said, "I don't think so. It didn't take long for the three generals to come down from the tower, move the things behind the gate, and open the gate to welcome us. Yuan Shao's army was so large, and they were able to evacuate so quickly. I'm afraid they were not trying to escape."

Liu He nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. If he wanted to withdraw his troops back to Jizhou, he should have dropped baggage along the mountain road to stop our army from pursuing him. Now, looking ahead, the mountain road is smooth, I'm afraid he intends to lure our army to pursue him."

Zhu Ye was immediately discouraged: "Ah? Doesn't that mean I can't catch up with her again? It's really boring."

Deng Yuan joked, "Haha, Fifth General, if you feel like sparring, why don't you have a fight with me?"

"Go away, you are weak, so it's boring to spar with you. But your spear skills are improving rapidly. In a few years, you may be able to fight me for 300 rounds. But now, I am not interested in playing with you."

"Hehe, I am so lucky to be praised by five generals!"

"You are such a pushover, you can't even tell the difference between good and bad words..."

Liu He interrupted them at the right time: "Okay, I didn't say we can't pursue. I know what Yuan Shao is thinking. He must be sure that Xu Huang and Qian Zhao's army has already gone south to attack Taiyuan, so he wants to wait for the news to come back and cause our army to fall into chaos. That's why he deliberately leads our army to pursue. When our army returns to rescue Taiyuan, he will chase us from the rear and naturally kill us. It's a pity that his idea will not work. In this case, why don't our army pursue?"

When Zhu Ye heard this, he immediately perked up: "Haha, great, big brother, let me be the pioneer!"

"Wait a minute, General Zhu is so powerful, he is the pillar of our army, it would be a waste of his talent to be the vanguard. I am not talented, and my martial arts are not worth mentioning compared to those generals. I can be the vanguard to explore the way."

"Hey, you are here to argue with me today. I won't let you be the vanguard!"

The two generals were like children at this time, glaring at each other, and neither of them was willing to give in.

"Alright, look how anxious you are. Yuan Shao's army must not have gone far, so there is no need for any vanguards. Follow up with the whole army, and chase them immediately to fight to the death!"

A few miles away from Huguan, there is a relatively open area. Compared with the mountain road which is only twenty or thirty feet wide, this area seems suddenly open.

At this time, Yuan Shao's army was ready for battle here. Under the canopy, Yuan Shao personally held the sword and stared intently at the movements on the mountain road ahead, not daring to even blink.

"Ta Tata..."

A man on a warhorse came back quickly: "Here they come... They are coming..."

Tens of thousands of people's nerves tensed up in an instant and they clenched their weapons.

Sure enough, soon everyone heard heavy and orderly footsteps coming from the mountain path ahead.

Along with it came the sound of tens of thousands of Bingzhou troops shouting one word in unison.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Just this one voice made the Jizhou soldiers feel cold all over.

"The entire army is on alert!" Yuan Shao shouted loudly, and even he himself could not tell for a moment whether he was shouting this to prepare for war or to drive away the fear in his heart.

A group of cavalrymen first appeared on the mountain road.

"Cheng Liang is here, the enemy won't surrender!"

"Your master Zhu Ye is here, wow hahaha..."

"Zhao Zilong of Changshan is here!"

"I am Deng Yuan, also known as Deng Ziyang. Look at my marksmanship!"

"With so many people, Da Meng will have lamb legs to eat tonight. Kill, kill, kill!" As these voices rang out, five generals, leading a group of cavalry, rushed towards the Jizhou army.

A messenger beside Yuan Shao quickly blew the horn.

"Woo...Woo..."

The sound of the horn resounded through the sky, loud and long.

Yuan Shao pointed his sword forward and said, "Kill!"

A group of infantrymen from Jizhou marched out, their spears and lances flashing with cold light as they stabbed at Cheng Liang and the others.

These five generals, each leading a cavalry, stabbed into the Jizhou army like five sharp knives.

Yuan Shao watched as these five men moved freely in his army and killed many of his soldiers in the blink of an eye. He couldn't help but become increasingly angry.

"All the generals in the army, move out. Even if we have to fight to the death today, we must kill several of his generals. Go quickly!"

Those generals were unwilling to fight with Cheng Liang and others, but since Yuan Shao had spoken, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead their troops to charge forward.

Liu He watched the battle from a distance, calmly and without any sign of nervousness at all.

"I don't know what Yuan Shao was thinking. Since he was determined to wait for the news from Taiyuan to come and disrupt our army's morale, he should have defended with all his strength and delayed our army. Why is he so vulnerable to provocation that he sent out the only remaining generals in his army? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, if they all die in battle, even if I really withdraw my troops, you probably won't have the ability to hunt me down. With this kind of thinking, no wonder he was defeated miserably by Cao Cao despite having a huge advantage."

As expected, more than a dozen generals of the Jizhou army rushed into the battlefield, but in less than a quarter of an hour, most of them were killed by Cheng Liang and others. Not only did it fail to achieve the result that Yuan Shao had expected, but it also greatly reduced the morale of the Jizhou army, allowing Cheng Liang and others, with only a few thousand cavalrymen, to gallop and kill at will among the 20,000 Jizhou vanguard troops.

A general suddenly ran out from the rear of the army and came to Yuan Shao's side: "My lord, I want to fight you."

Yuan Shao looked at him and found that it was Wen Chou, and he couldn't help but frown.

"General Wen, you are very brave, but your injuries have not healed yet, so you should rest more."

Wen Chou said: "I didn't injure my internal organs or bones. These are minor injuries, not worth mentioning. Now is the decisive battle, and it is the time to use people. How can I fall behind?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao looked at him with great approval and said, "Well, General Wen is worthy of being the pillar general of Jizhou. You lead 3,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry to fight. You must cut off the head of one of the enemy's generals and return."

"Don't worry, my lord. I will leave!"

Wen Chou raised his spear, assembled his troops, and rushed into the battlefield with murderous intent.

"Oh? Wen Chou was sent out as well? The enemy has sent out more than half a cavalry. It will be difficult for my third brother and his men to hold on alone."

Liu He turned around and looked at Zhang Yong and Gao Shun: "Fourth brother, Bo Ping, the two of you will each lead your own Golden Sword Battalion and Han Wuzu to attack and kill them."

"As ordered!"

The two men had been well prepared and had been waiting for a long time. When they received the order, they charged forward without any hesitation.

Wen Chou learned his lesson. On the battlefield, he did not attack Zhu Ye and others. Instead, he led his soldiers to fight in various places on the battlefield without engaging in combat with the five enemy generals.

Under his spear, countless Bingzhou soldiers were killed in a short time.

"Hey, Wen Chou, a great general of Jizhou, actually only knows how to pick fights with ordinary soldiers. He has no sense of shame. He escaped the other day. I will kill him today."

Zhu Ye swung his double hammers, knocking down several Jizhou soldiers in front of him, then slapped the silver-armored beast under his crotch and charged towards Wen Chou.

Wen Chou was killing those soldiers with great enthusiasm when he suddenly felt a strong wind coming from the right. He was so frightened that he had to lower his head and dodge in a hurry.

"call……"

A strong wind blew past his scalp, frightening Wen Chou to the point of trembling with fear.

"Don't bully my Bingzhou soldiers, my boy surnamed Wen. Come and fight me to the death!"

Zhu Ye shouted and attacked again, swinging the sledgehammer.
