Chapter 4 Back to the Carbine
Seeing that Lu Bu had killed the encirclement, Cao Cao couldn't help but slamming the high-fives and praised, "Awesome!" Then he said to Gongsun Zan: "Brother Bogui, we should help Brother Gaolu and wait for a piece of force. Your Liaodong Iron Cavalry is not inferior to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, so please ask Brother Bogui to lead the Liaodong Iron Cavalry to intercept Lu Bu."
Gongsun Zan thought for a moment, nodded, and waved his right hand. Gongsun Zan's cousin Gongsun Yue immediately led 10,000 Liaodong cavalry to rush down, circled a huge arc to try to catch up in front of Lu Bu's army to intercept Lu Bu. At this time, Lu Bu's army had just experienced a fierce battle, and his people were very tired, and he was about to cut off the road ahead by the ten thousand Liaodong cavalry.
Ailang took the lead and raised the Fangtian Painted Gaulle and rushed into the Liaodong Army. The Fangtian Painted Gaulle in his hand opened and closed, and the silver light was flying all over the sky! The soldiers of the Liaodong Army were on their backs and overturned, and no one was his general! The Bingzhou cavalry followed Ailang into the Liaodong Army. The cavalry of both sides confronted fiercely, with swords and swords splattering sparks, and guns were flying through the armor and flesh! The Liaodong Army was very powerful, but it could not stop the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, which was as good as a tiger or a wolf, and was penetrated by the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry!
However, the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry broke through the block, but the infantry behind were intercepted and could not be out. They were besieged by the enemy from all sides. They saw heavy casualties and injuries, and they fell into a pool of blood.
Seeing this, Ailang immediately turned his head and killed him without thinking. The Liaodong army was caught off guard and his team was in chaos. Ailang led the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry as if he had entered a no-man's land, and the swords and guns were directed to kill the Liaodong Iron Cavalry! He was surrounded by desperate and despaired. The infantry soldiers were excited when they saw their generals turn back to save them. They were immediately excited and their morale was greatly boosted. They shouted wildly and sacrificed their lives to rush to kill. Everyone seemed crazy as if they were just like one thing!
Ailang led the cavalry to kill the encirclement, caught the infantry, and killed them all the way out.
The princes and troops howled and chased them relentlessly. Seeing that they had an absolute advantage, they were still siege by the other party. They were very angry and wanted to catch up with Lu Bu and the others to kill them to eliminate the hatred in their hearts.
Ailang personally led a cavalry to cut off the rear and retreated. The sound of killing continued along the way and the bodies were everywhere.
Cao Cao rushed to catch up with Gongsun Zan and others and said, "It is not a solution to continue like this. We are completely restrained by Lu Bu and we cannot chase Dong Zhuo and rescue the Holy Lord!"
Gongsun Zan frowned and nodded, and asked, "What's the clever plan for Meng Deke?"
Cao Cao pointed to Lu Bu who was fighting and retreating, saying: "Although Lu Bu is brave, he is already in a difficult position to be pursued by his brothers. I think he can take this opportunity to bypass Lu Bu with an elite soldier, and he will definitely catch up with Dong Zhuo to save the Saint! When Dong Zhuo defeats him and save the Saint, we will turn around to deal with Lu Bu's remaining soldiers, so we will not worry about not waiting for death!"
All the princes expressed their agreement, and Ma Teng said: "Let's ask Meng De to assign tasks!" Gongsun Zan and others nodded in agreement, but Yuan Shu did not speak, and seemed unhappy.
Cao Cao was also unwilling to let go and said with his fists: "Brother Meng De, Cao was so arrogant!" Then he said: "I asked Brother Gonglu (Yuan Shu), Brother Wenjie (Han Fu) to continue to cover up killing Lu Bu, Brother Shoucheng (Ma Teng) and Brother Bogui (Gongsun Zan) to go around Lu Bu and pursue Dong Zhuo." Everyone nodded, but Ma Teng said in embarrassment: "Brother Meng De, our army is attacking Lu Bu, and it will take time to recover the troops." Gongsun Zan nodded, and a considerable number of Gongsun Zan's Liaodong army were also attacking Lu Bu.
Cao Cao immediately said: "Your brother leads the army to pursue Dong Zhuo first. The second brother gathers the troops and then comes to meet me." The two nodded.
Cao Cao was unwilling to delay any further, so he immediately sent an order and led 20,000 troops under his command to go around the area where he was fighting and chased towards the west. At this time, Ma Teng and Gongsun Zan hurriedly gathered their troops.
At this moment, Yuan Shu's scout came to report to Yuan Shu: "Report to the lord, there are no guards of Dong Zhuo's army in Luoyang City, General Sun Jian has entered the city!" Yuan Shu's expression changed, and Ma Teng and others were also shocked when they heard this.
Yuan Shu shouted at the commander-in-chief: "Send the command and the army will stop attacking immediately!" The commander-in-chief Yingnuo ran down. With the sound of golden bells, the armies chasing Lu Bu stopped attacking one after another. Yuan Shu rode a horse to the princes and said, "I want to enter Luoyang immediately, are you all with me?"
Ma Teng and Gongsun Zan all showed hesitation on their faces. Gongsun Zan said, "I'm afraid Dong Zhuo can't catch up, so it's better to go to Luoyang first!" Ma Teng nodded and said yes.
A handsome and handsome young general behind Ma Teng suddenly came out and shouted, "No! We promised Cao Cao, how can we break our promise!" The equally heroic young general behind Gongsun Zan also shouted, "No! We can't let Cao Cao down! Besides, Your Majesty was kidnapped by Dong Zhe, and we must rush to rescue Jia!"
The princes were speechless by the two of them. Yuan Shu shouted angrily: "We are discussing matters by the master, how can you wait for the servant to interrupt! Don't you back down!"
The young general next to Ma Teng was furious and immediately wanted to take action, but Ma Teng was stopped.
Yuan Shu snorted coldly and bowed, "You can do whatever you want, I will not be with you." Then he led his army eastward and rushed to Luoyang. Han Fu and others also led their troops to leave. Ma Teng and Gongsun Zan couldn't help but become anxious. Gongsun Zan asked Ma Teng, "Brother Bogui, what should we do?" Ma Teng thought for a moment and said, "Go to Luoyang!" The two young generals left angrily without any effort.
When Ailang and Zhang Liao saw the princes' army suddenly leaving, he was puzzled, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he led hundreds of remaining cavalry to catch up with the retreating brigade and headed west.
It is said that Cao Cao led a 20,000 army to chase Dong Zhuo and chased him near Xingyang. It was already late, and the setting sun shone, and the crows returned. Suddenly, the sound of war drums in the jungle on the left foothills shook the sky, and a group of soldiers came out! Cao's army was caught off guard and was immediately washed away. It turned out that Xu Rong, the prefect of Xingyang, was ambushed here, and when he saw pursuers coming, he rushed out. For a moment, there were swords and swords everywhere, and Cao's officers and soldiers were cut down in a pool of blood.
Seeing this, Xu Rong laughed proudly, and then shouted loudly to command the officers and soldiers to siege the already chaotic Cao army.
At this moment, Xu Rong suddenly heard the sound of war drums and shouts coming from behind him, and was very surprised. He quickly turned around and looked. It would be okay if he didn't look at it, and he was shocked. He saw countless Cao troops coming across the mountains and fields like tides. It turned out that Cao Cao had expected that Dong Zhuo would be likely to arrange a sub-ambass, so he divided his troops into two parts, one of the old and the weak as the front army, and the other elite main force followed behind. As expected, the army arrived in Xingyang and encountered the ambush of Dong Zhuo's army. Seeing that the opponent's ambush was all out, Cao Cao immediately rushed to fight.
Xu Rong was caught off guard and was suddenly led by Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, and the two generals of Xiahou Yuan, rushed into the army, causing chaos in his troops. Xu Rong urgently ordered the troops to shrink their defenses. At this time, a large group of infantry led by Cao Cao rushed to attack Xu Rong's army, and killed Xu Rong's army's corpse and blood were flying. The situation was extremely critical. Xu Rong struggled to support him, but when the situation was not good, he wanted to lead the army to escape.
At this moment, an army suddenly appeared and rushed down the hills in the south, like a sharp spear stabbed into Cao's waist! Cao's army did not expect that there was another enemy army, and was caught off guard and rushed into two pieces by the opponent. While Cao Cao ordered the troops to stabilize, he saw clearly the appearance of the leading enemy general. He was extremely magnificent and riding the Red Rabbit Divine Horse, it turned out to be Lu Bu, and he was shocked.
On the other side, Xu Rong saw Lu Bu leading his army to disrupt Cao's army. In surprise, he hurriedly rushed to fight back. Xu Rong's army turned defense into offense, howling and counterattacked desperately. Cao's army tried hard to resist, but in the end he could not resist and was defeated.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, the moon rose to the treetops, and a faint green light shone over the earth. I saw the cold light flashing in the wilderness, and the huge sound of killing shocked the birds in the surrounding forests that did not dare to enter the forest.
Xu Rongjun and Lu Bu's army chased the defeated Cao army from all sides, screaming one after another, and the blood seemed to dye the moonlight red. However, Cao's army was really strong. At this time, the troops were still fighting to the death, like a besieged tiger. Although Xu Rongjun and Lu Bu's army completely controlled the situation, the cost of destroying a group of Cao army was not small.
Under the protection of Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, Cao Cao finally broke out of the encirclement and ran along the way. However, he did not expect that the road ahead would be blocked suddenly. Everyone was shocked and strangled the war horse. When he looked closely, he saw Lu Bu holding the Fang Tian Painted Gaul and riding the Red Rabbit Cat in front of him, as well as the mighty general Zhang Liao and more than a hundred war cavalry.
Xiahou Dun opened his eyes and shouted: "Fight with them!"
Cao Cao quickly grabbed Xiahou Dun, stepped forward, clasped his fists at Lu Bu, and said, "It seems that today is the end of my life for me, Cao Cao. If I can die at General Lu Bu, I, Cao Cao, will die without regrets. I just want the general to release these subordinates, and I, Cao Cao, are in the dark and earthly fields, and I, Cao Cao, are grateful for the general's great kindness."
The officers and soldiers of the Cao army were very excited, and Xiahou Dun shouted hysterically: "If the lord dies, we will never survive!" Then he shouted at Lu Bu, "Lu Bu, everyone says you are unparalleled in the world, and today I will separate you from you!" As he said that, he rushed forward and fought with Lu Bu.
Cao Cao shouted sternly: "Stop!" Xiahou Dun's heart was stern and he couldn't help but stop. Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu and said: "Come on, please take the general with this head of Cao!"
Ailang looked at Cao Cao and saw only a heroic aura, without any so-called cunning look. Ailang couldn't help but admire him and said, "Cao Cao is really amazing. It would be a pity to kill you like this." Then he rode aside and made way for a way, saying, "You guys go."
Cao Cao and others were surprised and unbelievable. Cao Cao asked, "General Lu Bu, do you want me to be let go?"
Ailang smiled and said, "What else is there to doubt about this? Let's go quickly. If Xu Rong's troops come, you will not be able to leave."
Cao Cao and others were very grateful, and Cao Cao clasped his fists and said, "The general is very kind and kind, Cao will definitely repay you in the future!" Ai Lang smiled slightly. Cao Cao and others did not dare to delay and left quickly.
Ailang looked at Cao Cao's back and couldn't help but feel a little expectant.
Zhang Liao came to Ailang's face when he beat the horse and asked in confusion: "Why did the general release Cao Cao?"
