Just as Cao Cao thought, after learning that Cao Cao had set up camp, Ye Zhao immediately put away the battle cards and led his army to pursue him. This time, he persuaded Zhang Yan to attack Yecheng in surprise, and he was trying to annihilate all the living forces in Jizhou in one fell swoop. Cao Cao's withdrawal at this moment was also expected by Ye Zhao.

Cao Cao sent Cao Hong to cut off the rear, which also dispelled Ye Zhao's doubts.

Although Cao Hong was brave, he could not hold Ye Zhao back for too long. The Jizhou army was obviously far from the elite of Cao Cao's original troops. With just a charge, he was pierced by the Western Liang Iron Cavalry led by Ma Chao. He followed the army and ten thousand Jizhou troops, and even failed to hold on to a convergence, the entire line collapsed. Cao Hong only led his personal guards to escape from the siege and flee far away.

When Ye Zhao chased to the area around Luchen Mountain, he suddenly stopped.

"Lord, why don't you chase me?" Guan Hai and Ma Chao came to Ye Zhao and said in confusion.

"There is a fraud!" Ye Zhao took a deep breath and said, "Cao army shouldn't have run so fast, and except for Cao Hong, Cao Cao never sent troops to intercept..."

After looking at the surrounding environment, Ye Zhao thought about it. Although these cannot be used as evidence, the battlefield is not a court. Sometimes intuition is more reliable than evidence. If Yuan Shao faced the current situation, he would definitely lose his position. But if it were Cao Cao, although the current situation was not good, Cao Cao should not give him his back so easily. Moreover, this Luchang Mountain... seems not to be the only way to Yecheng, right?

Before the thought was over, a gong suddenly sounded from the mountain peak to the west. At the same time, on the grass in the east, a soldier suddenly rushed out of the dead grass more than half a man tall and rushed toward this side. In the distance, amid the rumbling horse hooves, a cavalry began to charge towards this side.

Ye Zhao's eyes narrowed, Cao Cao was going to fight back!

"The soldiers of the three armies obey orders and form a formation to meet the enemy!" Ye Zhao shouted sternly.

With Ye Zhao's order, the soldiers of Guanzhong quickly formed a huge circular formation, and the formation was changed quickly, which made Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren, who were leading the army, stunned. Even though they knew that the Guanzhong soldiers were strong, they did not expect that the speed of the formation change of the other party was so terrifying. But at this point, the arrows were gone and no turning back. The two led the ambush to shoot arrows while quickly approaching and break into the military formation. At the same time, Ma Chao's cavalry also attacked Xiahou Yuan's cavalry.

It’s not that enemies don’t get together. The last time outside Xingyang City, the two sides fought twice, and each other won and lost. This time, they met again. It was really the enemy who met. In order to win, the cavalry brought by Xiahou Yuan this time not only used double-sided stirrups, but also the soldiers in the front were Cao Cao’s Tiger and Leopard Camp, which was the only fully established unit brought out from Ao Cang, and they were extremely brave.

Although Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun were the first to launch an attack, the first one to kill one was the cavalry of the two families. The two men collided like two steel torrents, and a surging blood wave surging out. One side was well-equipped, while the other side was the most elite cavalry under Cao Cao. Both men tried to completely defeat the opponent's cavalry formation at the first time, but the strength of the two men was evenly matched. Ma Chao and Xiahou Yuan tried several times to find the opponent's weakness and then defeated the enemy in one fell swoop. However, the cavalry command abilities of the two sides were almost the same. What Xiahou Yuan could see, Ma Chao could quickly fill the gap. Similarly, Ma Chao had just seen the weakness of the enemy, and Xiahou Yuan could also make up for it quickly.

The two cavalry gradually gathered into a group, and the sound of killing was shocking the sky. The huge battle formation was like a giant meat grinder, and people died every moment.

Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren finally arrived at this moment. Although it was a surprise attack, the soldiers of Guanzhong reacted too quickly, and the ambush that was launched in a hurry was difficult to play a surprise attack. In the end, the surprise attack turned into a strong attack.

On the battlefield, Ye Zhao suddenly ran up a mound and took out a bamboo tube from his arms. It was the monocular telescope that he asked to announce the polished glass by the craftsman. The glass has not been completely developed yet, and the finished product also has many impurities, so the telescope cannot be made. Ye Zhao's monocular telescope was polished with real glass.

Through the monocular telescope, Ye Zhao had already seen Cao Cao's main army follow the cavalry and attacked here. The war here could not last too long. Otherwise, under the attack from inside and outside, Cao Cao would feel that he would have endless reinforcements in the hearts of people, which would be unfavorable to morale. Even the soldiers in Guanzhong were cruelly trained to fight one against two or even three or four, but if they collapsed psychologically, it would be really over. In the era of cold weapons, the impact of morale on the outcome of a battle is often even greater than that of weapons and equipment.

"So quickly and quickly!" Ye Zhao took back his monocular lens and shouted in a deep voice at the generals around him.

The Cao army was already inferior to Ye Zhao, not to mention the Jizhou surrendered army, and its combat power was even worse than that of the Cao army. After losing the advantage of the surprise attack, with Ye Zhao's order, the Guanzhong army began to strangle at the Cao army rushing in like a tiger out of a cage. The formation changed and turned into a fish-scale formation, falling down from the stars. The Cao army had few ambushed troops. Even Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren were unparalleled in bravery, but at this moment, facing the Guanzhong army that formed a formation, the living space was constantly compressed.

The Cao army soldiers around were constantly surrounded by the shields of the Guanzhong army. The shield was covered with some leather. The sword could not be broken and the gun could not be pierced. They were extremely strong. These shield soldiers did not attack. They just relied on the shield's strong defense and kept dividing the Cao army soldiers. Then, swords and guns continued to penetrate into the gaps of the shield. Sticky blood splattered on the shield, dyeing the shield soldiers red. The Cao army soldiers were full of unwillingness and anger. The desperate Cao army soldiers slashed the weapons on the shield hysterically. Occasionally, there would be cuts and breaks, but they were a few after all, and they would be blocked by new shields soon and could not affect the overall situation at all.

The soldiers around were constantly divided by the Guanzhong army, strangled and divided again. On the battlefield, there were fewer and fewer people. Xiahou Dun rushed to Cao Ren, grabbed Cao Ren and shouted loudly: "Go!"

Cao Ren was still a little reluctant. He seemed to have never asked for a advantage since he officially started with Ye Zhao, which made him feel quite unwilling, especially as he watched the Cao army soldiers around him die constantly in the encirclement of the Guanzhong army. Even though these direct troops were not Cao's army, Cao Ren's heart was still cut off. It was the first time he had fought so aggrieved for so many years.

"Go away!" Xiahou Dun smashed two shield hands that rushed forward with one shot. Seeing that Cao Hong wanted to continue killing, he stabbed Cao Ren's war horse with a sudden shot. The war horse hurt. He nipped his four hooves and knocked away the two Guanzhong soldiers and killed them all the way out. Xiahou Dun took the opportunity to follow. The two worked together and led the remaining soldiers to break out of the Guanzhong army. There were only 20,000 ambushers. In the end, less than a hundred people followed them.
