Chapter 231: Capture Cao Ren for the Fourth Time!

Chapter 231: The fourth capture of Cao Ren!

Outside Xiling City, I underestimated you..."

"Today, I have deployed 20,000 troops on this ancient road to gamble with you on the outcome of the battle! Do you dare?!"

Cao Ren not only had to buy time for Cao Mengde to retreat, he also had to justify the identity of his own military force in order to wash away the shame of Xiling that day.

Liu Wu just glanced at Cao Ren indifferently. He had to chase Cao Mengde quickly right now and had no time to get entangled with Cao Ren over trivial matters.

Liu Wu turned around and looked at the surrounding generals: "We can't delay any longer, quickly defeat Cao Ren and capture Cao Cao alive..."

"General Han..."

Han Sui was startled and hurried forward: "Han Sui is here!"

Liu Wu looked at him and said: "I will send a thousand cavalrymen to help the Xiliang cavalrymen break open this turtle shell. You will personally lead ten thousand Xiliang cavalrymen to get in and completely disrupt Cao Ren's army formation."

As long as the Xiliang Cavalry can break into Cao Ren’s army, what is there to fear, no matter how many Cao troops there are?

Han Sui was greatly encouraged and bowed to Liu Wu: "I will become the King of Chu and defeat this bandit army!"

Liu Wu nodded: "Gan Ning..."

Gan Ning: "I am here!"

Liu Wu: "You lead 10,000 troops and get close to the perimeter of Cao's army. When you see the Xiliang soldiers charging into the formation, Cao's army will be thrown into disarray. Then you lead the Shanyue troops to push forward directly..."

"Completely defeat this Cao army!"

Gan Ning: "I will obey your orders!"

Call ~
The wind started to blow on the Qiaohan Ancient Road.

Liu Wu looked at Cao Ren across from him and whispered to himself, "You want to gamble again? I'll satisfy you... Beat the drum!"

Boom, boom, boom! ~
The rapid drum beats instantly resounded throughout the Qiaohan Ancient Road, making people's blood boil.

Cao Ren clenched his spear tightly: "Liu Wu is coming!"

"Prepare for war!"

Rumble~
The black mass of cavalry, like a violent storm, rushed towards the front of Cao's army.

They were all wearing armor, holding long spears and short halberds on their waists.

Although there was no deafening shouting and killing like the Xiliang Army, the cold and solemn silence was even more depressing...

Boom! ~
The two sides are getting closer and closer.

Gao Shun suddenly shouted, "Throw!"

hum~
Amidst the low sound of breaking through the air, densely packed short spears descended from the sky, landing on the heads of Cao's soldiers...

bang bang bang~
"what!"

"Short, short spear?!"

The already heavy short spear, falling from a great height, carried with it extraordinary weight, knocking the soldiers in front of Cao's formation to the ground, breaking their bones and tendons, and causing them to howl and scream in agony.

The originally tightly defended formation at the front was instantly thrown into chaos.

"Archers! Fight back!"

"Fight back!"

The captains and generals called on the archers to fight back, but it was too late.

The enemy's cavalry has already rushed over!

Xilulu~
boom! ~
It was like an endless wave that slammed into Cao's army's formation, causing the front line of Cao's army to become unstable.

"kill!"

"Stop them! The Xiliang soldiers can't break our formation, let alone them!"

"Block!"

But it is obvious that this cavalry is clearly different from the Xiliang Army.

They kept attacking.

The troops never stop!

It seems that even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, they can wade through them!

puff~
The densely packed spear tips, flashing with cold light, took advantage of the impact of the war horses and suddenly pierced into the chest of Cao's army!
Dozens of Cao's troops at the forefront, whose formation was already unstable, fell in an instant...

Enter!
Come in again!

The cavalry in front of us was like a strong bow shooting out powerful arrows.

They kept advancing forward, with an indifference that saw no life or death, no advance or retreat, which was simply frightening.

The Xiliang soldiers attacked countless times, but the Cao army's front line did not move. Finally, they could not help but retreat.

The central army of Cao’s army, under the general’s flag.

Cao Ren looked at the cavalry in armor, holding spears and short halberds, who were constantly charging forward. He almost gritted his teeth and uttered three words: "Entrapment Camp!"

He will never forget this powerful army.

The eight hundred trapped camps outside Xiling City are still fresh in his memory.
Although the army in front of him was cavalry, their momentum was exactly the same as that of the Xianzhen Camp. There was no way he could be wrong...

Outside Xiling City, he was defeated by Liu Wu's trap camp.

On this ancient road of Qiaohan, will he be defeated by the Xianzhen Camp again? !
Do not,
It's impossible!

Xilulu~
Cao Ren's heart seemed to be burning with fire. He spurred his horse forward and brandished his spear: "Stop it! Follow me to kill the enemy!"

"kill!"

Cao Ren personally took to the battlefield to fight, which greatly boosted the morale of the troops.

The soldiers in the rear immediately rushed to the front, took over the positions of their fallen comrades, and fought hard with the enemy.

Cao's army was retreating, but they were still able to maintain their position.

Rumble~
However, the speed of this cavalry not only did not slow down, but even increased.

The replacement soldiers at the back could not even keep up with the speed of their comrades falling in front!

Finally, a brief gap appeared in front of Cao's army...

"Tear it apart!"

puff~
Following the gap, the sharp blades of the Vanguard Cavalry kept stabbing down, and more and more soldiers fell down.

The gap is getting bigger and bigger and can no longer be filled!
Cao Ren's heart sank instantly: "Not good!"

woohoo~
The cavalrymen sounded a horn, which instantly spread throughout the battlefield and reached the ears of the Xiliang army in the rear.

This is the battle situation reported by the Piercing Cavalry...

Han Sui was overjoyed, they had torn open a gap in Cao's army!

Xilulu! ~
Han Sui reined in his horse and stood up: "My men! Cao Zixiao's tortoise shell has been smashed open!"

"It's time to eat meat!"

"kill!!"

Instantly, shouts of killing surged like a tidal wave: "Kill!!!"

The one thousand cavalrymen had already dispersed to both sides, making way for the Xiliang soldiers.

Rumble~
The mighty Xiliang cavalry rushed forward like a torrent towards Cao's army formation in front.

boom! ~
Han Sui led 10,000 cavalrymen and charged into Cao's army with roars and shouts. "Cao's henchmen! Your grandfather Xiliang is back again!"

"Hahaha! Without this turtle shell, I wonder what you guys can use to stop me!"

"kill!"

Without the outermost layer of shield formation blocking them, the Xiliang soldiers were able to move freely in Cao's army formation without any fear.

As the war horses galloped at high speed, the swords, spears and halberds in the hands of the Xiliang soldiers cut through the throats of Cao's army and swept across their chests and abdomens like the wind.

Large numbers of Cao's soldiers fell on this ancient battlefield.

Poof! ~
Han Sui chopped off the head of the Cao soldier in front of him with a single blow. Warm blood splashed all over his head and face, but he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

In a trance, he seemed to have returned to the time when he roamed the Qiang grasslands, riding a BMW and a sharp sword, and doing whatever he wanted.

Although Han Sui was a civil servant appointed by the imperial court, he had survived the swordplay in Liang Province over the years, and his temperament and behavior were not much different from those of the Hu people.

He had been blocked by Cao Ren's army before and had been attacked repeatedly. Not only did the Xiliang soldiers suffer heavy losses, but he also lost face in front of the King of Chu. Now that he had entered the Cao army, how could he show mercy?

"do not stop!"

"Follow me and charge forward! Kill them all! Kill!!"

Han Sui roared, led the Xiliang cavalry, and charged deep into the army formation...

"Quick! Stop them!"

"If we let them continue to wreak havoc, our army will lose its stability!"

"Surround them! Trap them!!"

The Cao army soldiers were crowded around, rushing towards the Xiliang soldiers who had entered the battle formation without hesitation.

Xilulu! ~
Xiliang rode his horse non-stop, maintaining a high-speed sprint.

"Ah~"

Iron hoofs trampled,

The Cao army blocking the front was knocked away by the galloping horses, fell to the ground and was trampled into mud.

The soldiers rushing in from both sides could only pull down a dozen cavalrymen at the risk of their lives, and more of them had their necks cut by the sharp blades.

Advance!

Advance without any pause!
It was like a red-hot knife, cutting Cao's army into two pieces...

The originally crowded army formation became empty as the Xiliang soldiers passed by. The Cao army soldiers on the periphery kept shrinking inwards, and the army formation finally became unstable...

Gan Ning, who had been observing from a distance, immediately discovered that Cao's army's formation was beginning to waver.

The time has come!
"Shanyue Army! Follow me and kill them!"

"Kill!~"

Rumble~
The Shanyue army, which had been patient and suppressed for a long time, suddenly became eager to fight and rushed to the periphery of Cao's army like a tiger driving sheep.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh! ~
Arrows rained down like locusts, and amid screams and wails, a large area of ​​Cao's soldiers on the periphery were directly left empty.

The periphery, which was already loosely organized, was now even more flawed.

“Push it over!”

Gan Ning roared loudly, took the lead and rushed to the front.

The Shanyue troops in the rear, with dense gunfire, pressed into the periphery of Cao's army.

The Cao army soldiers who were originally going to return to the battle formation to stop the Xiliang cavalry had no choice but to turn back and fight again...

in an instant,
Han Sui led 10,000 cavalrymen and charged into Cao's camp, killing and hacking wildly.

Gan Ning led the Shanyue Army and launched a fierce attack on Cao's army.

Under attack from both inside and outside, Cao Ren's army was finally on the verge of collapse.

"It's over, it's over!"

"We can't hold on any longer! We, we are going to follow in the footsteps of Yu Wenze and Zhang Wenyuan!"

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

"But, but where should we retreat to?"

"Stupid! No matter where he retreats to, just retreat first!"

Soldiers on the periphery began to flee, and the gaps in Cao's army formation became larger and larger, and they became more and more numerous, and soon the army completely collapsed.

But the army's formation at the center was still able to remain in order.

puff~
Cao Ren stabbed the Xiliang soldier who rushed in front of him to death with one spear. He did not bother to wipe the blood from his eyes. He issued a military order with a hoarse voice: "Hold on! Hold on!"

"Follow my orders!"

"You should quickly lead the tribes in the northwest corner and move back together..."

"Where is the deputy general? Hold the southeast and don't move. The central army will follow me and charge out!"

After all, he was a general of Cao's army, with a long history of accumulated power and great talent. He passed on military orders and deployed troops, and actually stabilized the situation that was about to collapse in the army.

Cao Ren knew very well that
His army could no longer hold out. The best option now was to quickly retreat eastward with his guards and chase after the King of Wei...

But he is not willing to give in!
He was unwilling to be defeated by Liu Wu again.

He still has a lot of remnants under his command.
He still has a chance.
He still wants to fight again, he still wants...

"Zixiao, stop and take a rest."

A plain and familiar voice suddenly sounded in Cao Ren's ears.

He shuddered.
He had heard this voice before. He had heard it in Xiling!
That is……

Cao Ren looked up suddenly and heard a familiar voice of a man holding a halberd. He didn't know when he was standing in front of him!
"Liu Zilie!!!"

Cao Zixiao suddenly felt scared to death and broke out in a cold sweat!

The gambling fight on the north bank of the river...

The battle outside Xiling City...

Outside the flooded Fancheng...

Do not!
I, Cao Zixiao, must not be captured for the fourth time!!!

"Drive!~"

Cao Ren hurriedly turned his horse around, and all the resentment in his heart completely disappeared at this moment.

run!
Run!

Escape from Liu Zilie...

Hula~
A hand,

Like a Saker Falcon catching a hare, he grabbed Cao Ren by the back of the collar.

Cao Ren only felt a huge force coming from above, and his whole body was lifted up into the air as if he was riding on the clouds.

Liu Wu's voice was as peaceful as if he were outside Xiling City or on the top of Fancheng City...

"Zixiao, please stay."
