C402 (2/2)

Suddenly, the sounds of killing shook the sky above the mountain ridge, and waves of Arrows s shot out from the shrubbery, shooting towards Cao Cao's soldiers from all directions. Before the soldiers in the front could even regain their senses, the Arrows had already reached them and they were all instantly shot down.

The soldiers were thrown into chaos as they turned around and headed back. Some threw down their shields, some threw down their flags, and some even threw down their weapons. They were, after all, untrained, and their instinct to escape drove them to the point where they couldn't care less.

”We've been ambushed!” This was Cao Cao's first thought, and his migraine immediately followed. However, Cao Cao had personally led the battle before after all. He knew that if he ran like this, he would definitely be defeated like a landslide and would be chased down and killed by Dong Zhuo's troops.

”Array... Face the enemy! Whoever dares to take a step back will be killed without mercy! ” Cao Cao roared, and then he took out his own longsword and pointed fiercely at the retreating soldiers. When the soldiers saw this, they hurriedly stopped and ran back.

In this kind of crucial moment, it was even Xiahou Tun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Le Jin, Li Dian and the other generals that played a big role. Not only were they skilled in martial arts, but they were also very calm. Especially so for the soldiers of their families who surrounded them tightly and quickly stabilized their stance.

The ones lying in ambush here were the commander Chen Yang and his ten thousand northern soldiers. Although many of Cao Cao's troops were killed, they did not escape and instead formed a formation, so Chen Yang did not dare delay any further. As he ordered his men to report to Xu Rong, he led his men to charge forward.

's northern troop was well-trained, well-equipped, and also ready for battle. There were many of them, their morale was high, their fighting strength was high and they almost had the upper hand.

However, Cao Cao's team did not show any sign of weakness. Although the quality of the soldiers were low and there were fewer soldiers, but he had Xia Hou ton, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Le Jin and Li Dian under his command.

At noon, Xu Rong's other commander, Li Gu, brought ten thousand soldiers to the edge of the aqua bioremedians's river and joined the battle against Cao Cao. In order to ambush Cao Cao, Xu Rong's group of four were lying in ambush at four places. Chen Yang picked up a cheap item, and the other three groups of people came over.

To an untrained soldier, the role of a general was obvious, but to a trained elite, the role of a general was greatly reduced. No matter how heroic the generals under Cao Cao were, it would still be difficult for them to block the attacks of the wolves under Xu Rong's command. After fighting for a long while, the remaining troops that were sent over by Cao Cao were finally defeated by Xu Rong's elite troops and scattered in all directions.

Cao Cao had originally been waiting for Wei Zi to lend him a hand, but after fighting for a long time, he still didn't see any signs of Wei Zi. Cao Cao finally started to panic, the generals and soldiers under his command started to run away. Those soldiers, seeing that their master had escaped, all left like a swarm of bees, each fleeing for their lives.

Xu Rong had just arrived when he saw Cao Cao running away. Without saying more than a few words, he had already led his soldiers to chase him. Cao Cao did not have many soldiers in the first place, plus, he was tired from the journey and was ambushed, now that he was running away, he no longer had any will to fight, he was practically being chased and killed by Xu Rong's army.

In the process of escaping, Cao Cao shot an arrow at an unknown person, hitting him squarely in the arm, causing him to grimace in pain. But he couldn't care less, he continued to flee, in the end, his horse got hit by another arrow, the warhorse roared and fell on the ground, knocking Cao Cao down onto the ground.

”We're finished …” Cao Cao's eyes darkened, he thought that he was going to die. When he thought about how he would die in the wilderness if he could not succeed in his apprenticeship and his ambition failed, Cao Cao felt unreconciled in his heart. All of a sudden, the memories of the past came back to him, and he could not help but feel heartbroken.

Just at this time, Wei Zi brought his team over. Cao Cao could not help but be overjoyed, he did not know where he got the strength from, but he clenched his teeth and crawled up from the ground with difficulty. Just as he was about to run towards Wei Zi's group, he accidentally turned his head to look, and could not help but be scared to the point of breaking out in cold sweat.

”Capture Cao Cao...”

”Capture Cao Cao...”

”Capture Cao Cao...”

Xu Rong's troops covered the sky, shouting from the back that they wanted to capture Cao Cao alive, and from the back, they encircled them. He suddenly understood that it was no wonder that Xu Rong's soldiers were following closely behind him, it was his flag bearer who was carrying the ”Cao” word Banner, following closely behind.

”Quick... Hurry up and run into their team! ” Cao Cao pointed to the soldier and ordered him to quickly run to Wei Zi's side. The soldier holding the flag was baffled, but he did not dare to disobey Cao Cao's orders, and immediately ran towards Wei Zi's group.

With the support of a few soldiers, Cao Cao ran towards the other side. It just so happened that at this time, Xiahou Tun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Le Jin, Li Dian and the others also ran over.

Wei Zi originally followed behind Cao Cao, and they were only four hours away. However, Cao Cao had given all his supplies to Wei Zi, causing the pace of his journey to be much slower, to the point that when Cao Cao was defeated in front of him, he arrived much later.
