The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 595 The Battle of Qiao County
Only because of Han Sui's sudden rebellion, the coalition forces suffered heavy losses, and Luoyang also fell because of the loss of Xu Huang's personal command. The Battle of Luoyang finally ended with the tragic victory of the coalition forces of Lu Xun and Ma Teng.

A few days later, the news of the Battle of Luoyang had reached Qiao County. Li Yuan and Cao Cao had already heard about it. How long will Lu Xun and Ma Teng's troops arrive in Qiao County, and Cao Cao will be attacked from both sides.

Everything went as everyone expected. Half a month later, the coalition forces of Lu Xun and Ma Teng finally came to Qiao County. This battle will be a decisive battle between Li Yuan and Cao Cao. Whoever wins will have the chance to win the world, but Everyone knew that Li Yuan had a [-]% chance of winning.

"Everyone, the troops of Boyan and Ma Teng have arrived in Qiao County and set up camp in the west. You all know that this is the final battle between us and Cao Cao. I have already planned to lead the army out of the city to fight him. "Li Yuan looked at the people below. Cao Cao has been attacking wildly for nearly half a year, but he has not broken through the defense of Qiao County. In fact, from the moment Lu Xun broke through Hanzhong, perhaps Cao Cao was doomed to be defeated.

Xi Zhicai agreed: "Master, this battle can be fought. Now Cao Cao has only 7 troops left, including 3 cavalry. We still have [-] troops, plus the [-] troops from General Lu. , Ma Teng's [-] Xiliang cavalry are enough to counter Cao Cao's army."

"As far as I know, Ma Teng's cavalry from Xiliang should not be so few, why did they only come with 2 people?" Li Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this.

"My lord, according to the latest news from the Ministry of Secrets, General Lu did not encounter many obstacles when he attacked Chang'an and Tongguan, but he fell into a bitter battle in Luoyang." Xi Zhicai told everyone the news that the Ministry of Secrets had inquired about.

"I heard that Xu Huang personally guarded Luoyang, so it's no wonder they lost so many soldiers and horses." Li Yuan had a very high opinion of Xu Huang.

Xi Zhicai shook his head with a wry smile and said, "That's not the case. If only Xu Huang alone would not have caused Ma Teng to lose more than half of the army, the main reason is that Ma Teng's sworn brother, Han Sui, rebelled when he attacked Luoyang. Ma Teng's men were caught off guard, but thanks to General Lu who arrived in time, the entire army was not wiped out."

"Han Sui has been holding back, but he couldn't hold back in the end, but this may be the best result." Li Yuan shook his head and sighed. Although he had guessed that Han Sui would rebel, he did not expect to rebel at this time. How determined you have to be to do something like this.

After discussing with everyone, Li Yuan led the army out of the city, formed a horned situation with Lu Xun and Ma Teng, and prepared to launch a final attack on Cao Cao.

After days of siege battles, the city of Qiao County was filled with the smell of blood, and because it was winter, there was little rain, so as soon as you came outside the city, you could immediately smell the disgusting smell of blood, but no one came out at this time The expression of disgust, because after nearly half a year of siege battles, everyone has become accustomed to the smell of blood, and even the clothes of many soldiers are still stained with blood.

Cao Cao seemed to have known that today would be the day of the decisive battle, and he had already led his soldiers and horses to wait in front of the formation.On the battlefield, the drums are beating, the wind is blowing, the sky is covered with dark clouds, and the thick clouds are very low, giving people a feeling of suffocation. The weather is very cold today, and the cold weather makes hands and feet cold. They all surged with enthusiasm, no matter how bad the weather was, they couldn't stop their high fighting spirit.

After the three-way drum sounded, the long horn sounded, and everyone charged at the same time. The battle came as soon as it was said, without any dialogue or warning, as if everyone knew that this battle would be decided. The fate of the world.

Li Yuan and Lu Xun's soldiers began to attack Cao Cao's army. They wanted to form a siege to make Cao Cao's army have nowhere to escape. The combined number of troops on both sides had reached 20. The 20 soldiers started a real life-and-death battle on the plain. This battle is destined to be recorded in the annals of history and become an indelible legend in history.

Cao Cao is located in the central army. Standing on a high platform, he can see the whole situation. He saw that Lu Xun's soldiers and horses were the first to charge. Based on his personal experience, he predicted that Lu Xun's troops would never exceed 3. He ordered: : "Cao Hong Cao Xiu, each of you leads [-] soldiers to the west to resist Lu Xun's attack. Be careful of Ma Teng's Xiliang cavalry."

"Yes!" Cao Hong and Cao Xiu took the orders and went away. Twenty thousand soldiers quickly left the main force and marched westward, followed by more than ten banners with the banners of Cao Hong and Cao Xiu written on them.

"The rest of you come with me, we will face Li Yuan's army head-on!" Cao Cao was full of fighting spirit, he drew out the sword at his waist to order the whole army, the icy cold wind swept over his body, but he didn't feel that at all. Cold, high fighting spirit and abundant spirit made him completely ignore the bad weather.

Li Yuan left 1 troops in Qiao County for Xu Sheng, Ling Cao, Dong Xi, and Zang Hong to guard Qiao County to prevent accidents, and then divided the army into five parts, namely the front, middle, back, left, and right five. Army, Huang Zhong, Huang Xu and Hou Cheng are the front army, Hua Xiong is the left army, Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er are the right army, Lu Meng is the middle army, Li Yuan leads the rear army to unite the overall situation, the front, middle, left and right armies each have 2 troops People, Li Yuan's rear army has [-] people, and there is a thousand Tiger Guards battalion that will not be easily dispatched.

After seeing Cao Cao's attack, Li Yuan dispatched the front army Huang Zhong, the left army Hua Xiong and the right Zhang Xiu to attack. Under their leadership, the morale of the soldiers was high, and Li Yuanjun quickly took advantage.

Cao Cao saw from the back that the vanguard was not Li Yuan's opponent, he had only one Cao Zhen fighting hard in the front, he boasted that there were as many strong generals in the army, but at this moment he felt for the first time that there were no generals available, Xia Houyuan, Xiahou Dun, Le Jin , Zhang He, Cao Ren and others have been dispatched to other places, otherwise he would never be useless in this battle.

On the battlefield, the sound of killing was loud, Cao Jun was at a disadvantage from the beginning, and this situation might last until the end.Lu Xun in the west has also started to fight Cao Hong and Cao Xiu. The two sides are almost in a stalemate, and neither can gain the upper hand.

"My lord, the situation is not optimistic. We must send cavalry ahead of time." Guo Jia has been following Cao Cao. Originally, as a counselor, he does not need to go to the battlefield, but because this battle is related to Cao Cao's fate, Guo Jia does not care. In danger, follow Cao Cao to fight.
