Chapter 904: Attack From Both Sides

The two horses passed each other, Zhang Fei's figure was still as steady as an iron tower, but Han Yuan's body swayed slightly on the horse's back, and then fell off the horse's back with a "pop".

It turned out that Zhang Fei's wild shaking of the snake spear just now confused Han Yuan's sight. The snake spear suddenly hit Han Yuan's horse, and then with lightning speed, he slashed hard, drawing a long blood mark on Han Yuan's chest.

The blood flowed out like no money, and Han Yuan's body couldn't support it, so he fell from the horse's back to the ground.

Zhang Fei gently drove the black horse, stepped forward, thrust the snake spear down with his right hand, lifted Han Yuan's body up, grabbed the short knife at his waist with his left hand, and drew an arc of light in the air.

"The enemy general's head is here, why didn't you surrender early?"

Zhang Fei shouted loudly, and the shocking sound swept dozens of feet around. Countless Cao soldiers looked up and were frightened when they saw the head of Zhang Fei holding it on the tip of a knife.

"Ah! Captain Han was killed by this black charcoal head!"

"Don't kill me, I'm willing to surrender!"

"Run!"

Zhang Fei killed Han Yuan in one fell swoop and established his authority on the spot. More than 4,000 Cao troops either surrendered or fled, and they all lost confidence in continuing to fight against the Yuzhou army. In ancient times, the general was the soul of the army. There were very few armies that could still continue to fight even when the general was killed, so there was a saying of killing generals and seizing the flag.

Cao's army either surrendered or fled. Naturally, it could not continue to prevent the Yuzhou army from boarding the river bank. Thousands of Yuzhou soldiers boarded the river bank one after another. Although they were all wet, their morale was high.

Not only the 10,000 Yuzhou forward troops led by Zhang Fei, but also the 10,000 rear troops led by Liu Bei also slowly came ashore.

"Third brother, third brother!"

Tap tap tap! Liu Bei galloped over on his horse, shouting loudly, and rushed to Zhang Fei's side.

"Brother." Zhang Fei also galloped towards Liu Bei.

"Let me see if there are any injuries?" Liu Bei asked anxiously.

"Hahaha, big brother, I'm so overthinking. I'm rough-skinned and thick-bodied, and Liu Ya avoids me on the battlefield. How could I get hurt?" Zhang Fei laughed.

After Liu Bei inspected Zhang Fei, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he still couldn't help but blame him: "Yide, you are really reckless, how dare you ride alone to clash with Cao Jun's formation? What if something unexpected happens? What should your second brother and I do?"

Zhang Fei chuckled and touched his head: "Brother, don't worry. If I don't break out of the formation personally this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to open a gap, and I won't be able to do it next time."

After seeing that Zhang Fei was not injured, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, the second brother is still fighting a bloody battle with Cao's army. I will lead the troops to support the second brother!" Zhang Fei said to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei nodded and warned: "Well, go ahead. But you must be careful this time and don't be reckless, you know?"

"Hey, boys, the battle is not over yet, come with me!"

Zhang Fei raised his arms and shouted, and pointed his eight-foot-long snake spear at Cao Jun, who was entangled with Guan Yu's army. More than ten thousand Yuzhou troops roared together, crowded behind Zhang Fei, and charged towards Cao Jun.

"Father! Third uncle is coming with his troops." Guan Ping killed one of Cao's soldiers with all his strength and shouted excitedly to Guan Yu.

"Well, inform the entire army to prepare to fight alongside Yide and defeat Cao Jun together!" Guan Yu agreed.

"Soldiers, our reinforcements have arrived, defeat the enemy!"

The more than 8,000 Guan Yu troops who were originally in a stalemate with Cao Jun saw Zhang Fei's leading army coming from afar. Their morale was boosted and they launched a fierce attack on Cao Jun.

While the morale of Guan Yu's troops was greatly boosted, the morale of Cao's army was greatly reduced.

"What on earth did this loser Han Won do?"

Han Hao was naturally furious. He ordered Han Yuan to lead his army at the Huai River to guard against the enemy crossing the river, but the enemy still came over!

As a result, Cao Jun was in an extremely disadvantageous situation. Because Zhang Fei led his army to attack from behind Cao Jun, Cao Jun would be flanked by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Yuanji."

Xiahou Dun made a weak sound. In order to boost the morale of Cao's army, he forcibly swallowed the eyeball on the arrow and rode on the horse to hold on. In fact, he had fallen into an extremely weak state.

"General Yuan Rang, what's wrong?" Han Hao asked hurriedly.

Xiahou Dun said weakly: "We can't continue to fight. If we are attacked by enemy forces from both sides, our army will be defeated. We order the whole army to withdraw to Shouchun."

"Okay." Han Hao nodded. He also understood that retreating was indeed the best choice at the moment, otherwise the entire army might be annihilated.

In desperation, Han Hao sent an order: "The entire army retreats toward Shouchun and stop fighting with the enemy!"

"The general has an order! The whole army retreats to Shouchun, quickly!"

Orders were passed down one after another. When the 20,000 Cao troops saw that the enemy was attacking from both front and rear, they had already planned to retreat. Now when they heard Xiahou Dun's orders, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and retreated towards the east.

"Hahaha, Cao's army has no courage! He was so scared by our army that he ran away. Let me chase you guys. Now is a good opportunity to beat up the drowned dog!" Zhang Fei laughed.

"The enemy has retreated. The whole army is chasing after him. Don't leave Xiahou Dun!" Guan Yu shouted in a deep voice.

"kill!"

Guan Yu's army and Zhang Fei's army, one in the south and one in the north, pursued Cao's army with perseverance and followed Cao's army to kill. However, the Yuzhou army was not in a hurry to devour Cao's army. Instead, it followed Cao's army like hungry wolves. From time to time, it rushed forward to surround part of Cao's army, and then chewed and swallowed it, constantly eating away at Cao's army's vitality.

If all of Cao's army is surrounded, Cao's army may fight back with life and death, which will not be beautiful at that time.

But Xiahou Dun, Han Hao, and Shi Huan were also powerless. They were running for their lives. The morale of Cao's army was greatly reduced. What else could they do besides running for their lives?

"Run faster, faster!"

At the moment, they can only speed up their retreat in the direction of Shouchun and try to avoid losses.

Cao's army ran in front, and Yuzhou's army chased behind. Cao's army continued to kneel down and surrender, or dispersed in all directions.

"Ping'er, you lead the army to collect the surrendered troops." Guan Yu ordered Guan Ping.

"Yes, father."

Although Guan Ping was a little unwilling, he did not dare to disobey Guan Yu's orders, so he had to lead more than a thousand soldiers to stop and collect the surrendered soldiers of Cao Cao.

"Hahaha, what a pleasure!"

Zhang Fei galloped his horse and couldn't help laughing. After lurking in Yuzhou for so many years, he finally trained an elite army and killed Cao's army and fled.

However, Xiahou Dun, Han Hao, Shi Huan and the officers and soldiers of Cao's army were filled with humiliation. How could they allow the enemy to run away?

Forget it, it’s better to escape!

In the fierce competition between you and me, the tall silhouette of Shouchun City gradually emerged in the eyes of the two armies.
