Chapter 691 (1/2)

The surging peaks are still roaring, scouring both sides of the river. However, the two armies of Cao and Liangzhou are facing each other across the river. The Liangzhou army is full of evil spirits, especially those sharp soldiers of Liangzhou soldiers who have just scattered Cao's soldiers in the front row, and their blades are dripping with blood.

On the other hand, Cao Jun's faces were startled and had not recovered from the impact of Hefeng. Although many Cao soldiers were born in Qingzhou and experienced many battles, they could not help turning pale. In the face of the power of nature, they are insignificant.

”Xu Huang!”

Cao Hong was very angry, but he was held by his deputy general and couldn't move.

”What are you doing?”

Cao Hong, like a lion with hair exploding, struggles in anger. His eyes are wide open and he stares fiercely at the deputy general, as if to kill someone.

”General Zilian! Our army has been defeated, with nearly half of the casualties, and the number of enemy troops far exceeds ours. If we don't retreat at this moment, when the river peak passes by and the Liangzhou army wades across the river, our army will surely lose! ” The sideline will be eager to explain.

”Fart!”

Cao Hong retorted: ”if Xu Huang really dares to cross the river, he was about to give him a chance to fight half way across the river. It's a good chance to turn defeat into victory. What are you afraid of?”

The deputy general gave a wry smile: ”general Zilian, after the peak of the river retreated, the water level of the Jiahe river was just below the knee. The Liangzhou army could be in formation to cross the river. How can our army cross the river half way?”

Cao Hong was stunned.

It is indeed the essence of military strategists. When the Chu army crossed the river, song Xianggong, who claimed to be benevolent and righteous, did not attack it half way. Otherwise, it would be hard to say the victory or defeat of the two armies.

In general, if the water level of the river is deep enough, the enemy can't cross the river easily, so it is impossible to form an array. Once the river is too shallow, the enemy can get on the shore in close formation. It is a joke to attack the enemy in such a short time.

At this time, the river peak was not as turbulent as before, and gradually slowed down. On the other side of the river, the army of Liangzhou could not help rubbing hands, showing a fierce smile, as if the Cao army on the other side had let them knead.

”Just...”

with a helpless sigh, Cao Hong ordered: ”the rear team becomes the front team, withdraw!”

”No!”

After hearing Cao Hong's order, they could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then they turned around and lined up and retreated slowly.

So, under the gaze of Liangzhou army on the West Bank of the river, nearly 6000 Cao soldiers retreated slowly.

”General, will our army pursue it?”

Hao Zhao, a military commander, originally from Jinyang, came to Jizhou to join Xu Guojun. He was calm and proficient in the art of war. Therefore, Xu Huang immediately appreciated him and promoted him from an official to a military Sima.

”Pursuit, of course!”

Xu Huanglang said: ”Cao's army is timid and dare not fight with our army. Now is the time to pursue the enemy and expand the victory. Isn't it a pity to miss it?”

After that, Xu Huang ordered: ”cross the river in formation and pursue Cao Bing.”

”Pursue Cao Bing!”

At last, the surging peak of the river retreated completely. The water level of Zhangjia river was just below the knees of many Liangzhou troops. The army of Liangzhou marched into the river and marched forward.

Lines of Liangzhou army moved forward slowly, from the West Bank to the East Bank of the river. After a little sorting, they immediately put themselves into the pursuit.

Liangzhou army in the rear of the pursuit, from time to time issued a shout.

”Kill Cao Bing!”

”Don't run if you have seed. Stay and fight with your grandfather!”
