Chapter 526 A Moment of Life and Death! Liu Bei's Army Suffers a Crushing Defeat!
Le Jin shook his head, revealing a look of loneliness in his eyes that suggested invincibility.
He calmly took out a tripwire and quickly set it up on Wu Lan's inevitable path.
Wu Lan, an honest man from Yizhou, never expected that people from other states could be so despicable!
"Bang" sound.
The tripwire performed consistently.
Following Lei Tong, Wu Lan became the second general to be captured.
The capture of these two not only threw their own troops into chaos, but also greatly affected the forces of Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Zhuo Ying.
Ma Chao and Ma Dai knew how terrifying Cao Cao's sixth brother was, so they didn't dare to be foolish and rush up to fight him. Instead, they hid behind the soldiers.
Zhuo Ying tried to turn the tide and restore the lost morale, but to no avail.
The First Army inevitably suffered a brutal defeat at the hands of Cao Cao's army!
At this moment, a large number of Cao Cao's troops also appeared inside Yangping Pass.
The leaders were Cheng Yu and Jia Xu.
As for the city wall catching fire, let it burn; Cao Cao's army didn't have much military equipment or supplies left inside the pass anyway.
Yangping Pass was just a decoy used to deceive Liu Bei's army!
Caught between the garrison at Yangping Pass and Cao Cao's army outside the pass, Liu Bei's First Army became a veritable sandwich.
The rate of soldier deaths reached an unprecedented level.
In the distance, Liu Bei and Fa Zheng saw that the First Army was in danger of being defeated, and they were extremely anxious.
Cao Cao's army was more powerful than they had imagined.
The capture of Generals Lei Tong and Wu Lan dealt a severe blow to the morale of the First Army.
Everything has deviated from the original plan.
"filial piety..."
Liu Bei looked at Fa Zheng, and Fa Zheng also looked at Liu Bei; their eyes met.
"My lord, order the attack!"
"If we do not act now, the First Army will surely be annihilated by Cao Cao's army!"
Liu Bei nodded; he was not actually a hesitant person.
But this time, he couldn't afford to lose...
Finally, Liu Bei made up his mind and personally sounded the horn for attack.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Liu Bei's second army occupied the high ground and charged towards Cao Cao's army outside the pass like tigers descending the mountain.
Liu Bei gripped the twin swords tightly in his hand.
At this moment, he must lead by example and boost morale.
As Fa Zheng had predicted, Cao Cao's army fell into disarray when the two armies clashed.
Thanks to Liu Bei's rescue, the First Army was able to stop its losses in time.
Everything seemed to be back on track.
The dawn of victory is beckoning to Liu Bei!
but……
Cheng Yu and Jia Xu smiled slightly.
Fazheng, you can't escape the Five Finger Mountain!
The sound of galloping hooves approached!
To the due north, a cavalry unit was fully prepared and ready to go.
The six leaders were Cao Cao, Su Yu, Guo Jia, Xiahou Yuan, Zhao Yun, and Cao Chun!
When Cao Cao arrived at Yangping Pass, he did not bring a large number of cavalry with him.
If cavalry were brought along, Liu Bei's scouts would certainly be able to detect this information.
Given Fazheng's vigilance, he will surely change his strategy and will not choose this woodpecker approach.
However, the fact that Cao Cao did not bring cavalry on the surface does not mean that Cao Cao's army did not have cavalry!
Xiahou Yuan, who was originally stationed in Liangzhou, had already set off a few days earlier.
Later, they set up camp in a secluded valley a hundred miles away.
Thanks to Su Yu's prediction, Xiahou Yuan arrived with his cavalry at lightning speed before the battle even began!
The secluded valley a hundred miles away was unknown to Liu Bei's scouts.
Even if it were the most elite intelligence corps of Cao Cao's camp, they would never have imagined that there was such a cowardly army in the world besides their own!
At this very moment, Xiahou Yuan's divine army descended from the heavens.
Like a sharp blade, it pierced heavily into the abdomen of the Second Army led by Liu Bei and Fa Zheng!
Historically, Xiahou Yuan died in the Battle of Hanzhong.
Today, Xiahou Yuan is full of energy.
Yan Yan drew his sword and stepped forward to fight Xiahou Yuan.
After five rounds, Yan Yan surrendered on the spot.
The gap between cavalry and infantry was like a chasm, impossible to bridge.
Especially when cavalry launch a surprise attack, the panicked infantry is no different from lambs.
Yan Yan, the old man, realized that his side had no chance of winning.
Rather than suffer with that scoundrel Liu Bei, I'd rather become a prisoner of Cao Cao's army.
After Yan Yan was captured, Pang Xi also gave up the struggle.
The most resilient one was Huang Quan.
Huang Quan mainly wanted to hold out a little longer and demonstrate his value.
But Cao Cao's army, enraged by the carnage, didn't care about that.
Seeing that Xiahou Yuan had already taken the lead, Cao Chun was extremely anxious.
In a daze, he seemed to see Huang Quan raising his sword, challenging him.
He was furious!
next moment.
Huang Quan was shot to the ground by Cao Chun.
Fortunately, he didn't land headfirst, otherwise Huang Quan would probably have died and gone to the underworld.
To be honest, Huang Quan suffered a lot.
His primary profession was more like that of a civil official, but at this moment he was being treated as a military prisoner.
But Cao Chun didn't care about that. As long as he got arrested, why bother with anything else!
All of Liu Bei's soldiers on the battlefield were in a state of confusion.
Like a lost child, not knowing which way to go.
The Second Army collapsed even earlier than the First Army!
Seeing that things were not going well, Ma Dai pulled Ma Chao and retreated towards the edge of the battlefield.
But at this moment.
Huang Zhong launched an arrow that struck the edge of Ma Chao's helmet!
Although he didn't die, bleeding from broken skin was unavoidable.
Ma Chao was in pain.
He couldn't understand why he was always the one getting hit by arrows; couldn't they change the person?
Ma Dai, having practiced a few times before, saw that Ma Chao was not dead for the time being and quickly pulled him away from the battlefield.
The others who were captured may survive.
But if Ma Chao and Ma Dai were captured, they would definitely be reduced to nothing!
In this respect, the two of them were somewhat prescient.
but.
Ma Chao was unaware of this at the moment.
Death is beckoning him!
His wicked deeds are nearing their end.
On the other side, after some resistance, Zhuo Ying was finally knocked unconscious by Pang De with a single blow.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do, and Pound became increasingly old-fashioned.
Apart from Ma Chao and Ma Dai, all the other commanders of the First Army were taken prisoner.
The First Army, already on the verge of collapse, saw a large number of soldiers choose to surrender.
……
A valley outside Yangping Pass
Liu Bei made full use of his running skills and rushed here all by himself.
Wait, where did Fazheng go?
When Liu Bei realized what was missing from his side, it was already too late.
at the same time
The entrance to that mountain path
Xu Chu, carrying Fa Zheng, walked to Su Yu's side.
Seeing Su Yu smiling at him, Fa Zheng trembled all over.
He remembered the "mysterious man" from his nightmare.
Although Su Yu was not that mysterious man.
But intuition told Fazheng...
Su Yu might be even more terrifying than that man!
Our Commandant Su, a mischievous thought welled up in his mind.
He took out two sheets of paper that he had prepared beforehand, with the words "Department Introduction" written on them in large characters.
One of them is a department introduction of the Imperial Guard.
The other one is the residence of the Minister of Personnel.
The introduction to the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat is a full three pages long!
The various benefits and perks are dazzling!
The Imperial Guard's office, however, only exchanged a few words.
The moment of life and death has come once again!
