Chapter 371
The moment the horn of the retreat of the Western Liang army was sounded, the final result of this war was destined.
With the Allied retreat, the morale of the Cao army soldiers inevitably shook. Faced with the rising fighting spirit and the Jingzhou army, their will to resist showed a rapid decline.
The endless storm and storm, muddy and slippery ground have further aggravated this trend.
Therefore, when the horn of his retreat sounded, the soldiers of Cao almost breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of their hearts, and then retreated without hesitation.
It was raining heavily and the battlefield was chaotic. The Cao army generals were unable to effectively restrain the soldiers under their command. Except for a few troops, most of the Cao army soldiers were scattered in a row. This gave the Jingzhou army a good opportunity to pursue.
.
After repelling the sprints of more than a dozen tiger spearmen with one force, Xu Chu roared wildly: "Tiger Guards, follow me and guard the Prime Minister to retreat!"
From the time the horn of leading the army to the retreat sounded, for an hour and a half, Xu Chu's proud Tiger Guards were unable to defeat the enemy army called "Tiger Gun Camp" in front of him.
Or it is like the names of these two powerful teams - the two "tigers" will eventually be defeated.
Xu Chu knew that when the situation was over, it would be useless to continue to tangle with the Tiger Gun Camp. The most urgent task is to take on the heavy responsibility of Cao Cao's guarding first.
"Chasing, chasing! Intercept the enemy, intercept the enemy!" Chen Dao was staggering, his face showed a pathological pale color due to excessive blood loss, but he still shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Sir, your injuries are too serious. Let's take a rest first and intercept the enemy. Leave it to the last general!" Yu Zhen, the commander, held Chen Dao who was almost falling, and anxiously advised him.
Chen Dao had four wounds on his body, the worst of which almost hurt his heart. A large amount of blood was lost, and the wind and rain invaded him, which made his body at the verge of collapse.
Yu Zhen, who is also in battle for a long time, knows very well that if Chen Dao fights like this, even if he doesn't die, he will have to sit in bed for at least half a year afterwards. It is still unknown whether the root cause of the disease will be revealed.
After working hard several times, he still couldn't stand alone. Chen Dao said to Zhen sternly: "Dezhang, find two people and carry me. You must intercept Xu Chu!"
"Sir..." Yu Zhen hesitated for a while and did not dare to accept the order.
"Did you hear it?" Chen Dao yelled angrily with gritted teeth.
"No!" Yu Zhenyi gritted his teeth and shouted loudly. "You four, lift up your lord; you four, guard your lord. If the lord has any damage, I will cut you down!"
Four tiger spearmen quickly placed the spear in their hands on the ground. One of them took off his protective armor and spread it on the spear. He made a simple "stretcher", and then carefully supported Chen Dao and sat on the Teng armor.
The four of them lifted Chen Dao with force.
"The tiger spear camp, invaded like fire. Defeat the enemy!" The spear pointed forward with force, and Chen Dahu roared in the sky.
"Invade like fire, defeat the enemy!" All the tiger spear soldiers who can act but cannot act will do their best to respond to their commander as long as they still have a breath.
…………………………………………………………………..
In the turmoil of retreat, Le Jin took on the heavy responsibility of the palace.
In fact, except for the Tiger Guards, Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen’s cavalry, only his team maintained a complete team shape.
It is clear that if there was no one behind the palace to block the enemy's pursuit, Cao's retreat would inevitably turn into a defeat. Le Jin led his troops to entangle with the Jingzhou army that was tsunami without hesitation.
With the wave after wave of the enemy army that was several times higher than him, Le Jin's troops were still like strong grass in the wind, and the rocks in the raging waves, with no casualties, and still remained unmoved.
But under the siege of the superior enemy, Le Jin's soldiers were fewer and fewer. He himself was once again targeted by Ling Cao.
.
Ling Cao shouldn't have appeared on this battlefield. His original mission was to command the navy army of his troops to take Quan Rou to the north. However, due to concerns that the reinforcements were insufficient.
He took the initiative to draw more than a thousand elite sailors to help, and personally followed Quan Rou to help.
Since he rushed to the battlefield to participate in the battle, he has been blocked by Lejin, which made Ling Cao very angry. Seeing that the great opportunity to chase Cao Cao was about to be lost because of Lejin, he wanted to swallow this strong enemy in one bite.
He rode his horse and knocked away two enemy soldiers blocking the road one after another. Ling Cao's big sword in his hand was faintly lit up from the upper left to the lower right and towards Le Jin.
Le Jin slid down the horse and rotated it so that the big sword in his palm just stood up to hold the enemy's blade. The two swords intersected, "Clang!" made a sharp and harsh sound of gold and iron.
Just like two crazy tigers, Ling and Le fight together, no one wants to avoid it. When they come and go, they hear "Clang! Clang!..." sounds endlessly.
Beside the two, the soldiers from each other fought to the death and roared one after another.
The ground was stained with red blood, and was washed away by rain and mud...
When the battle was about to rise, Ling Cao suddenly vacates his left hand after he takes up his sword force, which looks crazy, but he cleverly grasps the back of his opponent's big sword, and then uses force hard.
Le Jin did not expect Ling Cao to take this move, so he was in a hurry to prevent it and suffered several injuries. His body was a little exhausted, and he was dragged over with his people and horses.
But he was also a long-time general on the battlefield and reacted very quickly. Seeing Ling Cao's right sword slashing down from his head, he let go of the stern hilt without hesitation, and then he quickly pulled out the sword from his waist and stabbed his opponent's chest.
Unexpectedly, Le Jin would give up the big sword, Ling Cao was also suddenly caused. The huge drag force made him retreat involuntarily, and he didn't even have time to react to the opponent's sword stab.
"Puff!" The sound of the sword tip entering the flesh, a piece of blood rose.
After glanced at the long sword that was nearly half a foot deep into his chest, Ling Cao was like a furious lion. He quickly slashed the sword in his palm, slashing hard on Le Jin's shoulder, almost completely removing his left arm.
Le Jin roared wildly regardless of his injuries. He pushed the sword with his right hand, and the sharp blade passed through Ling Cao.
"Dad~~!" Amid the horrified shouts in the distance, Ling Cao turned his blade and slashed the neck of Le Jin.
After finally striving for courage, Ling Cao shook his body a few times immediately. The two big knives held in his hands fell to the ground at the same time, barely stabilizing his body. He looked up at Le Jin.
He said with difficulty: "It's a draw..., and then we'll get... underground... and then we'll get... the winner..."
"...just...to my wish!" Le Jin's neck was filled with blood, but he still pulled out a hint of ugly smile and said.
"Pu!" The two burly bodies slowly slid down at the same time.
"Dad~~!" Ling Tong rushed to Ling Cao's side and helped his father, who was short and raised his mud, and saw the sharp sword passing by, and his soul was scattered.
"A Tong,... okay... follow the general. Don't... lose the face of the Ling family..." He forced his eyes to open, Ling Cao raised his last breath, "Take good care of... your mother and..."
The last sentence was not even finished, and Ling Cao's life was gone.
"Dad~~!" Ling Tong cried to the sky, tears mixed with the rain, dripping on Ling Cao's body.
.
The death of the main general became the last straw that broke the back of Le's march.
Although this persevering force has not lost its fighting spirit, it has lost its organization. The scattered resistance can no longer stop the enemy's siege and is gradually "drown".
.
One north and one east, two tides of retreat and pursuit were formed on the entire battlefield.
In the wind and rain, the retreating people fled to death, and the pursuers followed closely.
"Pa~!" "Pa~!" "Pa~!"
The muddy ground is a very severe test for either side, and the sounds of people and horses falling are coming one after another. Those who fall can only seek blessings for themselves, and no companion can take care of them. They will even be ruthlessly trampled by later generations.
Bodies were buried everywhere, and there were many wounded people, including swords, guns, swords, halberds, and equipment and flags.
The storm of shouting seemed to be crying for this tragic scene...
.
Without participating in the pursuit, I stood on my horse, and the snake spear was inserted beside me, looking up at the sky, and bathing in the rain given by God.
Win. Finally won!
Although the process is difficult, although the casualties are heavy, they win in the end!
After this battle, Cao Cao no longer did anything on the Western Front battlefield...
Under the escort of more than a dozen cavalry, Pang Tong rode his horse and galloped over.
When I was about to arrive in front of me, the horse suddenly slid. Although I barely stabilized my steps, I threw Pang Tong out, who was unprepared.
I was shocked and hurriedly jumped off the black horse and ran towards the place where Pang Tong fell.
Before I could arrive, Pang Tong had already gotten up by himself. Regardless of the mud on his body and face, he shouted excitedly: "General, we won, we won..."
This battle was so difficult that even Pang Tong was so excited that he lost his composure. However, I myself...
Holding Pang Tong with one hand, I nodded with a big smile: "I won, I won..."
…………………………………………………………
After an hour, the storm slowly weakened and finally stopped.
There were still thunder in the sky, and it was gloomy, indicating that the rain would not end there. After a few days, or even dozens of miles, it would probably still be raining. Of course, it might not be as heavy as the first rain when the plum blossoms came into it.
.
As the heavy rain stopped, the pursuit gradually stopped.
Although I really want to destroy all the Cao and the Korean Allied Forces in one fell swoop, the soldiers of the three armies who had fought for several hours could no longer support them.
Moreover, soldiers who were injured and were wet from heavy rain after being injured need timely treatment, otherwise it will inevitably lead to non-combat reductions.
Almost all soldiers here are veterans who have experienced dozens of battles or even dozens of battles, and each one is quite valuable. It is inevitable to die in battle. It is too unprofitable to lose personnel due to non-combat factors.
.
While riding a horse, Jia Xu turned his worrying eyes to Cao Cao from time to time.
This defeat in the battle will never be a blow to Cao Cao.
