Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 523 Cao Cao: Zhang Sui is still a little naive after all!

Cao Cao and others gasped when they saw their personal soldiers being shot and killed, and then saw Zhang Sui rushing over with the cavalry.

Cao Hong just felt his scalp tingling.

While urging his personal soldiers to escort Cao Cao away, Cao Hong roared, "I will go stop him, brother, retreat quickly!"

As he said this, he called on hundreds of soldiers to go towards Zhang Sui.

Cao Cao did not hesitate. He ran towards Lihu County and called Xu Chu to lead his soldiers to meet him. He said, "Zhongkang, protect Zilian and come back together!"

Cao Hong was his cousin, and he saved him from danger many times.

The most dangerous time was when he was facing the encirclement and suppression of Xu Rong's 3,000 cavalrymen. Cao Hong gave his horse to him, allowing him to escape.

Cao Hong himself fought all the way and turned into a bloody mask before he managed to escape.

Now, facing the attack of the enemy Zhang Sui, how dare he let Cao Hong face it alone?

Xu Chu didn't want to go.

Now he is surrounded by enemies, and he cannot imagine what would happen if he leaves and something happens to his lord Cao Cao!
Cheng Yu, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, and Jia Xu escorted Cao Cao away, shouting, "Xu Chu, military orders!"

Cheng Yu understood it very well.

To Cao Cao, these relatives of his were far more important than anyone else.

If Xu Chu really had to watch Cao Hong being killed, his life would definitely be difficult.

When Xu Chu saw Cheng Yu scolding him, he gritted his teeth and called on hundreds of his personal soldiers to kill Zhang Sui.

He and Cao Hong's troops formed two forces on the left and right.

The two sides and Zhang Sui's cavalry fought directly into a group.

Cao Hong and Xu Chu attacked Zhang Sui from the left and right.

Zhang Sui kept swinging his lance.

Although facing the pincer attack from Cao Hong and Xu Chu, he did not feel too much pressure.

However, as he watched Cao Cao escape, Zhang Sui's face became terribly gloomy.

He tried to call on Huang Han and others to bypass the soldiers under Cao Hong and Xu Chu.

However, the soldiers under Cao Hong and Xu Chu kept rushing forward as if they were risking their lives.

Some of the bodyguards even used their bodies to block the cavalry!
The two sides fought fiercely.

Surrounded by Cheng Yu, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and others, Cao Cao ran for more than two miles before stopping.

Cao Cao almost cried when he saw the armies of both sides standing together in the distance behind him.

Where do these people come from?
We clearly had an absolute advantage, so how did the fight suddenly turn out like this?

Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao's sad expression and comforted him, "My lord, the battle situation is unclear. General Xiahou is still in the front, so it may not be our defeat."

Cheng Yu also comforted him, "Although our people did not have the opportunity to inform General Xiahou, General Xiahou is not far ahead. He will definitely notice the attack on our camp soon. As long as he leads his troops back, he will be able to repel the night attack."

Cao Cao then nodded, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with emotion: "Zhang Sui is too naive after all."

Looking at the battlefield in the distance, and then looking around at the darkness, Cao Cao said, "If I were him, he would have expected me to escape here."

"As long as they set up an ambush here and launch a surprise attack, I will surely die!"

Everyone looked at each other.

Xi Zhicai was just about to say something when he saw countless torches suddenly lit on the left.

A middle-aged man wearing armor and looking gentle and refined, holding a bow in his hand, sneered and said, "Cao thief, how could my lord not have thought of what you can think of?"

"Chen Gong, I've been waiting for you here for a long time!"

"Set me an arrow!"

The person who spoke was none other than Chen Gong!
When Cao Cao saw Chen Gong, his breathing stopped.

His face turned pale.

Until hundreds of archers fired their arrows at the same time, Xun You deflected the arrow that was shot at Cao Cao's face with his sword and roared, "Retreat!"

Only then did Cao Cao come to his senses.

He hurriedly lay down on his warhorse and galloped towards Lihu County, surrounded by Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and others.

The soldiers around him kept falling off their horses.

As Chen Gong rode his horse in pursuit, he shouted, "The man in red robe is Cao!"

"Whoever shoots and kills Cao will be made a marquis and a prime minister, and his name will be passed down in history!"

Behind him, hundreds of soldiers rushed towards Cao Cao.

Cao Cao tore off his red robe, threw it to a personal soldier, and screamed, "Put it on!"

He rode his horse to a group of personal soldiers, threw away his helmet, and blended in with the personal soldiers. Cao Cao and these personal soldiers were all riding war horses.

But Chen Gong only had a few war horses.

Seeing that Cao Cao and his personal soldiers were getting farther and farther away, although Chen Gong wanted to continue chasing them, he gave up.

If a soldier advances deep into the enemy's territory alone, he is likely to be killed.

While ordering the army to stop chasing, Chen Gong shot and killed Cao Cao's personal soldiers who were shot off their horses.

After dealing with all of Cao Cao's personal soldiers, Chen Gong led hundreds of archers to Cao Cao's camp.

Cao Cao ran for several miles again before he stopped and looked behind him.

Looking at the darkness behind him, with only the red sky in the distance and no torches behind him, Cao Cao's eyes were dull.

Xi Zhicai counted the men and horses.

This time, 20,000 troops came to Bai Ma.

Now, there are less than thirty riders nearby.

Xi Zhicai looked gloomy, and said to Cao Cao: "My lord, including our advisers, there are only 27 people around you."

When Cao Cao heard Xi Zhicai's words, he clenched the reins in his hands until his knuckles turned white.

He didn't say anything, nor did he leave.

He just stared in the direction of the camp.

He was waiting for Cao Hong to come back.

He was waiting for Xu Chu to come back.

He is waiting for Xiahou Yuan to come back with his troops!

That’s 20,000 troops!
He couldn't imagine the situation where these 20,000 troops were destroyed!
While Cao Cao was waiting for Xiahou Yuan and others to come back, Xiahou Yuan also noticed the movement behind him.

Looking at the raging fire in the camp behind, Xiahou Yuan's heart trembled violently.

Zhang Sui’s camp has been basically destroyed.

Currently, only a few hundred cavalrymen are still charging madly in the army.

Xiahou Yuan watched as the cavalrymen kept falling off their horses and their numbers kept decreasing, but he could not catch up at all.

The next moment, Xiahou Yuan gritted his teeth and immediately ordered the army to abandon the siege of the hundreds of cavalrymen. The vanguard continued to clear out the remaining forces in Zhang Sui's camp and resist the cavalry.

He immediately led the army behind him to change direction and head straight for his own camp.

When they were less than a mile away from the camp, countless arrows suddenly shot towards them like locusts in the darkness on both sides.

The screams instantly resounded through the night sky.

After a wave of arrows, two elite infantry units suddenly rushed out from the darkness on both sides.

On the left is Zhang Liao.

On the right are Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others.

Behind the two armies, the sound of killing was deafening and it was impossible to tell how many troops there were.

Beside Xiahou Yuan, Yu Jin said with a pale face: "Don't rescue!"

"I don't know how many troops the enemy has."

"With the situation in the camp like this, the Lord must have evacuated long ago!"

"Gather all the troops, attack from the left side, and head straight for Lihu County!"

"The lord arranged to dispatch 10,000 troops from Lihu County to help us. They must be on the way."

"If we join forces, the enemy will never dare to pursue us again!"

Xiahou Yuan looked at the enemy troops rushing towards him from all directions and let out a long roar to the sky.

After a while, he rushed to the left.

Yu Jin hurriedly ordered the army to pursue Xiahou Yuan.

Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others saw that Xiahou Yuan's army was heading straight to the left, so they did not pursue them relentlessly.

They didn't bring many people with them!
The subsequent movements were all a trick arranged by Chen Gong to scare off the enemy during the chaos.

Now Xiahou Yuan's army has fallen into the trap and has taken a detour to the left. Their goal has been achieved.

Zhang Liao led his troops to continue the attack, pretending to be in hot pursuit.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan led the army straight to Zhang Sui’s camp!
