Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 294 Zhang Xun's Defeat
"Who dares to fight me!"

After Zhang Xun returned to the formation, Qiao Rui immediately rode out to fight.

"You rats dare to be rampant, I, Li Tong, are here to take your life!"

Li Tong, one of Cao Cao's generals, rode his horse and speared at Qiao Rui.

"Hehe, nameless rat! Suffer death!"

Qiao Rui patted his horse and wielded his sword, and also went straight to Li Tong.

The two fought together and fought for more than [-] rounds, regardless of the outcome.

Seeing that Qiao Rui could not win for a long time, the two lieutenants of Qiao Rui in Zhang Xun's formation rode their horses and danced their guns, preparing to assist Qiao Rui.

Seen by Xu Chu in Cao Cao's formation, that's okay, Xu Chu picked up the nine-eared and eight-ringed elephant nose knife, and went straight to Qiao Rui's two-yuan lieutenant.

"Little thief, you actually want to bully the few with more. Grandpa Xu Chu is here!"

The battle failed, Xu Chu cut one of the lieutenants off the horse with a single knife, then turned around and grabbed the spear of the other lieutenant, pierced the man's heart with one shot, and then the lieutenant was stunned. fell down.

Qiao Rui, who was fighting fiercely with Li Tong, was shocked when he saw his lieutenant general of Liang Yuan fall from his horse, and fled to the main formation.

How could Li Tong let Qiao Rui escape so easily, he immediately bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot the arrow right in the back of Qiao Rui's heart.

"General, save me!"

Qiao Rui tried his best to reach out to Zhang Xun, but was shot by the Spike arrow, how could Qiao Rui survive, vomited blood, and fell under the horse.

"General Cao Jun, is he so brave? You can't fight generals when you are old, you can only fight with him!"

Seeing the loss of three generals, Zhang Xun was startled and annoyed, but there was nothing he could do, because Yuan Shao's most capable fighter, Ji Ling, was left in Shouchun by Yuan Shao to lead the Imperial Forest Army and protect the safety of the palace.

"All the officers and men obey the order, and the whole army strikes!"

Zhang Xun drew his sword and pointed it at Cao Jun on the opposite side.

"kill!"

Yuan Jun's soldiers shouted together and rushed forward.

"Hehe, I thought Zhang Xun was so powerful leading an army of 20, but now it seems that it's just a mob of 20!"

When Cao Cao saw nearly 20 troops rushing towards him, he had no fear on his face. He looked at the opposite side calmly, then raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said, "Gongming, you are in charge of the defense of the left wing, Wen Yuan, you are in charge of the right wing." Yuan Rang stays at the central army, Zihe, you lead the tiger and leopard cavalry, and go straight to attack Zhang Xun of the central army! The rest stay put and prepare to defend against the enemy!"

After Cao Cao gave the order, Xu Huang and Zhang Liao put up a defensive posture. Xiahou Dun also personally led his troops to surround the handsome flag. Even Xu Chu, who was so aggressive, stayed by Cao Cao's side and continued to serve as Cao Cao's bodyguard. Only Cao Chun, leading the tiger and leopard cavalry under his command, was about to break into Zhang Xun's central army.

The war was about to break out, Cao Cao's army was defending hard except for Cao Chun, and Yuan's army was powerful and crowded, and they all rushed forward desperately, and because of the large number of Yuan's soldiers, the tiger and leopard rider's forehead impact was blocked. Cao Cao is faintly retreating.

"The enemy army is just a rebel army. If we can't even defeat them, then how can we have the face to go back to the court to see His Majesty! Hold on!"

With that said, Cao Cao pulled out the Yitian sword, rode his horse to the front where the two armies faced each other, and joined the battle himself.And Xu Chu was extremely brave, and all the soldiers of the Yuan army who wanted to approach Cao Cao were all beheaded by Xu Chu.

Seeing that the coach was still like this, Cao Jun's morale was greatly boosted, and he fought back desperately. They all attacked Yuan Jun bravely.

For a while, Cao Jun actually gained the upper hand and beat Yuan Jun's attack back, and the killed Yuan Jun retreated steadily.

At this moment, Yuan Jun didn't know who shouted, our barracks was occupied by the enemy.

Yuan Jun's soldiers turned their heads one after another. Sure enough, Cao Jun's banner was hung in their barracks.Moreover, the banner of Cao Cao's army was also flying on the gate of Xiapi City.At this moment, Yuan Jun's morale was completely lost, and those who were killed by Cao Jun retreated steadily, and some soldiers even wanted to escape.

"This must be a traitor among us. It's okay. After we repel Cao Cao, we will return to the camp to clean up the house. Now no one is allowed to retreat. Hold on to me!"

Zhang Xun was also a little flustered, but he knew that the two armies were fighting fiercely, and whoever retreated would be defeated. Cao Cao had to be repelled before he could return to the camp.

Hearing Zhang Xun's shout, many soldiers' impetuous hearts calmed down again, and they continued to fight Cao Jun with peace of mind.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

There was a cannon on the city wall, and the shouts of killing shook the sky, as if thousands of troops were coming from behind them.

"General, we have been fooled by Cao Cao again, let's retreat quickly, look at this posture, Cao Cao has already taken our camp, if we don't retreat! We really can't leave!"

Yang Feng came to Zhang Xun, grabbed Zhang Xun, and said.

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

Zhang Xun was also scared out of his wits, the camp was occupied, under attack from both sides, how could he dare to continue fighting with Cao Cao, and hurriedly called for gold, and then fled south.

Cao Cao didn't chase after him, but urged the army and horses to enter Zhang Xun's camp.

It turned out that the reason why Cao Cao entered Zhang Xun's camp in such a hurry was because there were only [-] troops led by Li Dian in the camp, and only [-] troops in Xiapi City.

If Zhang Xun hadn't been frightened just now and led his army back to the camp to recapture the camp, Li Dian would never have been able to defend it, but Zhang Xun was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. He sent someone to copy his back route, so he ran away.

In this battle, Zhang Xun was completely defeated. Although he still had an army of [-] in his hands, all the food and supplies were in the camp, and they all belonged to Cao Cao.Whether his army of [-] can return to Huainan in its entirety has become a problem. Why, because there is no food and grass, the horses can say that there is hay under the snow on the side of the road, but people, there is no food, and the weather is cold If it's frozen, it won't starve to death.

Due to lack of food and grass, Zhang Xun led his army to Guangling hungry, washed the blood of Guangling City, and robbed all the food from the people's homes. Zhang Xun was in a bad mood because of successive defeats. I lost all face and had no face to see Yuan Shu.

So Zhang Xun sent troops to plunder, and together with the grain and grass brought from Huainan, he hoarded the grain and grass, and prepared to rely on Guangling City to resist Cao Cao.

At this time, Zhang Xun was suffering in his heart. If he had known this before, why should he fight Cao Cao in the first place? Kill him by surprise.

This time, Zhang Xun's pockets were cleaner than his face, but Cao Cao made a lot of money. The food in Zhang Xun's camp was enough for his [-] troops for three months, and Yuan Shujun robbed him in the city. All the gold, silver and treasures that were plundered went into his Boss Cao's pocket.
