After receiving Dong Zhuo's order, Li Jue and Guo Si immediately ordered their troops and horses, turned their horses' heads, and charged towards Cao Jun.

The armies on both sides chased and met each other, and within half an hour, they encountered each other.

"Zhiran, you set up your formation to attack Cao Cao head-on. I will go to meet Xu Rong's remnant army, and then attack his flanks. Cao Cao will be defeated under the two-pronged attack. Li

Jue readily agreed and set up a formation on the plain.

When Cao Cao saw the cavalry on the plain, they could not see the end of the cavalry, so he immediately ordered to stop the pursuit.

"Since the Flying Bear Army appears here so quickly, Thief Dong must be not far away. Zi Qian, you lead 3,000 elite cavalry to bypass the Flying Bear Army and pursue Dong Zhuo. You must make our army famous."

Zhang Wu thought for a while. The Flying Bear Army has at least 20,000 troops, and Cao Cao's cavalry only has 5,000. If he gives 3,000 fine cavalry to him, he won't have to fight on the front battlefield. He will have to be pressed to the ground by the Xiliang cavalry. No

"My lord, you don’t need three thousand, you only need a hundred cavalry."

"Don't be ridiculous. There are no less than 100,000 armored men around Dong Zhuo. How can Baiqi dare to pursue him?"

"It doesn't matter, since it's a bluff, a hundred riders are enough."

Zhang Wu could see clearly that there were only five thousand cavalry in his headquarters. Even if they were all taken away, it would be impossible to do anything to Dong Zhuo.

Boss Cao just wanted to gain a reputation by chasing Dong Zhuo. As long as the world could see that it was Cao's army. Hitting an egg against a stone, loyal to the Han Dynasty without fear of death. Especially when the armies of the princes marched to Luoyang to divide the spoils, this kind of loyalty seemed particularly noble.

From now on, Cao Jun can occupy the great righteousness, and people with lofty ideals will be happy to surrender. This is the chain effect.

Zhang Wu waved his spear, rode his horse to the center of the army, and said loudly:"If you are not afraid of death, follow me to pursue Dong Zhuo. Anyone who goes out in line will be rewarded with ten gold coins. The family members of those who are killed in the battle will be supported by the Dongjun Prefecture. One hundred gold."

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. In just a moment, he picked out a hundred people, bypassed the main force of the Flying Bear Army from the flank, and headed west.

"General, a small group of cavalry has bypassed the main force of our army and headed west. Do you want to pursue it?"

Zhang Wu's army Li Jue naturally saw that, but just these two people, what kind of trouble can they make?

"There is no need to mess up your position and attack Cao Cao with all your strength. This time, he will never come back."

"promise."

Zhang Wu only took a hundred cavalry with him, but Cao Cao's side was still in difficulty. The

Flying Bear Army was already the overlord among the cavalry. Except for Gongsun Zan's white horse Yi Cong who could compete with it, the world had not heard of a second cavalry force that could fight with it.

But Gongsun Zan only had two thousand white horse followers, so only Dong Zhuo, who was rich and powerful, could produce an elite army of more than ten thousand cavalry.

After chasing here, Cao Cao's goal has been achieved. All he has to do now is to help Zhang Wu Try to delay as much time as possible, and finally get a huge amount of reputation

"Send an order to retreat slowly. Do not engage in direct confrontation with the Xiliang army. Retreat to the vicinity of Xingyang."

"promise."

Li Jue saw that Cao Jun did not launch a charge, but slowly retreated. He immediately smiled disdainfully and said,"I thought Cao Ah Man was really not afraid of death and would devote his life to serving the Han Dynasty. It seems that it is nothing more than this now, but now I want to withdraw. it's too late"

"Lord, we can't retreat any longer. Once the Xiliang Iron Cavalry charges completely, they will disperse our army in an instant."

Cao Cao looked back to see that the army formation was still in chaos, and shook his head:"No problem, continue to retreat."

Just when the Flying Bear Army was charging at full speed and was about to disrupt Cao Jun's formation, a large group of refugees and farmers appeared on the horizon, dragging their families with them and completely occupying the pipeline. To the west of

Xingyang, the terrain was not flat, and there were dense forests along the roadside. The cavalry It is difficult to launch a side-by-side charge. In this way, the Flying Bear Army's numerical advantage cannot be used at all.

When Cao Cao was chasing Xu Rong, he noticed the speed of large groups of civilians migrating, so he expected from the beginning that the Flying Bear Army would not be able to make it in time. Charge at full speed.

This is not to say that the Xiliang army cherishes human life, but when launching a charge, if the front army cavalry tramples and injures civilians, it will not only congest the official road, but also the rear army does not know the situation of the front army and charges rashly, which is very dangerous. A large-scale stampede may occur.

By then, half of the Flying Bear Army will be injured before the battle officially begins. Li

Jue, somewhat angrily, ordered the messengers:"Disperse the people and do not block the official roads. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed." amnesty."

After the Xiliang army received the military order, they waved their steel swords to disperse these sudden mud-legged enemies.

However, there were more than tens of millions of residents in Luoyang, stretching for dozens of miles in front of them.

The people behind them had no idea what was happening in front of them.

They just dragged their families away.

The ones with mouths immersed themselves in moving forward.

Those in front wanted to retreat in the face of the threat of death, but were forced forward by the crowd.

In this way, there was a natural human barrier between Cao Jun and Xiliang Army.

Before Li Jue's main force joined the battle, Guo Si's small force did not dare to charge.

Once the head and tail could not see each other, their cavalry could easily be divided and cannibalized by the remaining troops.

On the other side, Zhang Wu led a hundred cavalry all the way to the west.

Any Xiliang army that encountered someone escorting property on the road picked them to death, and directly overturned Dong Zhuo's financial report box to the ground.

"General Renyi, these days, there are not many people who can spread wealth to the people."The knight next to Zhang Wu praised, showing an expression of admiration.

"Damn Renyi, we only have a hundred people, and even if we get this wealth, we can't bring it back. Now we use it as erbium to attract the refugees to loot, but it can create chaos and completely separate the pursuers behind us."

Hundred Cavalry is chasing Dong Zhuo. It's done, and it's shocking the world. If he's not careful, even Zhang Wu will have to answer here.

He can't even take care of himself now, how can he have the mind to care about the life and death of these refugees?"

"General, look quickly, the big Han dragon flag, in front is the emperor's carriage."

Zhang Wu only felt his scalp numb when he looked at it.

The black-armored soldiers around Longqi stretched for nearly ten miles, and there must be at least 70,000 to 80,000 elite soldiers.

Although Zhang Wu did something like one more person breaking into the formation, that one At that time, there were no more than a thousand people, and Chi Ji could kill him back and forth with just a few jumps. He could leave at any time if he wanted to.

But with such a military formation as dense as a swarm of ants, if he just broke through, even if he was the reincarnation of the Overlord of Western Chu, he would still be able to escape. It's impossible to escape unscathed.

He's as powerful as Zhang Wushang, let alone the cavalry around him.

"General, how to behave?"

"Hang at a distance, be careful not to be surrounded by enemy troops, wait until night before making plans"

"promise."

As the night fell, Dong Zhuo didn't know what to think, but he set up a huge bonfire in front of the main camp and spread barbecue on it. Maybe he really felt that no one who was not afraid of death would dare to directly attack his camp. Right.

But what he didn't know was that less than five miles away from his camp, there was really someone who was not afraid of death and was watching his every move. The golden leg of lamb exuded an alluring fragrance. The ministers who had been traveling all day smelled the fragrance and gathered around unconsciously.

Dong Zhuo chuckled twice:"I really thought you sour scholars could fill your stomachs just by talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality."As he said that, he threw a golden leg of lamb on the ground, just like sending away a wild dog.

A strong sense of humiliation rose in everyone's hearts.

None of them were usually respected big shots, but now this Xiliang How dare a martial artist bully like this.

But with a sharp steel knife right in front of him, everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak out. This may be the tragedy of scholars. If you lose your integrity, you have to go hungry or even lose your life. If you want to lose your integrity, , The nobility they usually create does not allow them to bow their heads.
