Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 736: The opponent’s false defeat was probably due to Yuan Shao’s instructions.

Cao Ang did not expect that the Han army would dare to counterattack with bows and crossbows.

But after all, he was leading the elite of Cao's army. Although he was caught off guard, he quickly regained his composure and shouted in a deep voice: "Prepare the crossbow and release the arrow!"

Whizzing.

A volley of bows and crossbows was fired, and the Han infantry were immediately thrown into chaos.

At this moment, Liu Chuang suddenly drew out the sword from his waist, raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, kill me!"

Boom.

A carriage drove through the Han army's formation, knocked over several Han soldiers, and then galloped eastward along the road.

The soldiers of the Han army boarded the chariots one after another and followed the Han chariots towards Cao Jun.

"Intercept, stop them!"

Cao's soldiers immediately launched a counterattack.

It's just that most of Cao's troops were infantry. They didn't have much heavy armor at all, and they weren't even equipped with shields.

Facing the mixed infantry and cavalry troops led by Liu Chuang, even if they resisted desperately, they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

"Master, we can't let them pass."

"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow quickly."

Cao Ang quickly issued the order.

But at this time, the Han army was already approaching.

Cao Ang looked at Liu Chuang's back with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"Do you remember that Yuan Shao also used this trick to induce our army to charge in Yecheng?"

Xun You was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, you mean that Liu Chuang is repeating his old tricks?"

"Probably!"

"How to deal with that?"

"Haha, now we just need to wait and see!"

A smile appeared on Cao Ang's face and he said lightly: "I believe that the other party will give us a surprise."

Xun You suddenly realized, and then couldn't help but sigh, "I hope they won't disappoint me."

Liu Chuang led his army and rushed to the front of Cao Jun's formation 200 or 300 steps before he suddenly reined in his horse and stopped. He pointed his whip at Cao Jun and roared: "Cao Ang, get out of here and die!"

When the soldiers in Cao's army heard the roar, they turned around to look.

Liu Chuang was seen riding a horse, holding a spear in one hand and a shield in the other. His eyes were full of provocation.

"Sir, Liu Chuang is just as you expected. He came prepared this time."

Xia Houyuan's face showed joy and he reminded in a low voice.

Cao Ang gritted his teeth and said, "I know that Liu Chuang is no ordinary person. How easy is it to defeat him?

Young Master, shall we continue the attack? "

"Continue the attack?"

Cao Ang smiled contemptuously and said: "Since Liu Chuang wants to fight, we will naturally accompany him to the end, but naturally we cannot fall into the opponent's trap now.

Give me my order and the whole army will retreat thirty feet! "

After Xia Houyuan heard this, he nodded in agreement.

He immediately gave the order to retreat, then urged his mount to retreat slowly.

Just as Cao Ang was retreating, the Han infantry suddenly accelerated and pursued Cao Ang.

"Little Liu Chuang, come after me if you have the ability?"

Seeing this scene, Cao Ang had a sneer on his lips. He drew his sword, rode his horse and charged towards Liu Chuang with his spear raised.

When Liu Chuang saw Cao Ang coming to kill him, he laughed loudly, "Today I want to see who is better in a certain family!"

He slapped his horse with all his strength and took Cao Ang straight away.

But Cao Ang was not an ordinary person. Seeing Liu Chuang running towards him, he immediately reined in the reins and picked up the short blade from the saddle.

"Liu Chuang, accept your fate!"

The short blade flashed with cold light and struck at Liu Chuang's neck.

Liu Chuang tilted his head slightly to avoid the fatal stab, and then cut off the legs of Cao Ang's horse with a knife. The horse neighed miserably and fell down.

Cao Ang was thrown several feet away and struggled to get up.

They saw that Liu Chuang had reached him first, and his halberd drew an arc and stabbed directly towards Cao Ang's chest and abdomen. Cao Ang was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged, but Liu Chuang's halberd seemed to have spirituality and followed the opponent's body tightly, making it impossible for him to avoid it.

With a pop, Cao Ang was stabbed in the left rib, and blood spurted out.

"Tell me, where is Liu Bei?"

"Hugh. Don't even think about it!"

There was deep hatred in Cao Ang's eyes.

Liu Chuang said with a cruel smile: "Don't even think about it? Humph, do you really think you can stop me?"

He grabbed the halberd and was about to chop off Cao Ang's head when suddenly, smoke and dust rose in the distance.

Liu Chuang turned around and saw a dark group of people rushing over from the west.

"It's Xiahou Dun."

"How could it be him?"

Cao Ang and Xun You exclaimed at the same time.

Then they saw Xiahou Dun leading more than a thousand troops and rushing toward Liu Chuang.

After seeing the battle situation in front of him, he couldn't help but became furious, "Shu Zi, don't be so cruel!"

After saying that, he waved his two axes and rushed towards Liu Chuang.

"Come on!"

Liu Chuang left Cao Ang behind, galvanized his horse and fled.

He knew in his heart that if he faced off head-on, he would definitely be in danger.

Because his strength is still far behind Xiahou Dun. Although Xiahou Dun is old, he is still strong and has superb martial arts.

Liu Chuang galloped on his horse, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Cao Ang leading people away.

He raised a cruel sneer at the corner of his mouth and thought to himself: I want to see who wins in the end!
He suddenly turned his horse's head and ran wildly in the direction of Xu Du.

Xiahou Dun led his troops to pursue him for a long time, and finally saw Liu Chuang walking away.

"Uncle, this guy is so cunning, he actually abandoned his allies and ran away!"

Xiahou Dun's nephew Xiahou Ba said angrily: "Did he guess that his uncle would come to the rescue?"

"Hey, how can you hide this kind of intelligence from me?"

A ferocious look flashed across Xiahou Dun's eyes.

"Uncle, since you know Liu Chuang is playing tricks, why don't you pursue him?"

Xiahou Ba asked in confusion: "If uncle continues to lead people to intercept and kill, maybe he can be kept!"

"If I pursue him personally, I will fall into his trap."

Xiahou Dun sneered and said: "Liu Chuang deliberately abandoned his friendly forces and ran away. He wanted to take this opportunity to confuse us.

If we pursue him, he will take advantage of the situation and escape, and we may have difficulty catching him again.

Moreover, Liu Chuang may have ambushed more than one group of people when he faked defeat this time. "

When Xiahou Ba heard this, he immediately understood, "Uncle, you mean that Cao Mengde has other plans?"

"Yes, the other party's false defeat may have been inspired by Yuan Shao.

Although I have no grudges against him, if I can't get rid of Liu Chuang, I'm afraid it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart! "

While Liu Chuang was defeated, Chen Gong, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai also had their own division of labor.

When Liu Chuang pretended to be defeated, Guo Jia quietly led his troops to leave, galloping northward and heading straight to the east of the river.

He is a famous person in Jizhou and has a high prestige in Jizhou, so there is no need to pretend.

Xi Zhicai quietly returned to Yanzhou with Dian Wei.

As for Chen Gong, he led one hundred and fifty chariots, horses, and provisions, starting from Puyang and going upstream along the Yellow River.

He planned to copy Yuan Shao's retreat and give him a severe lesson.

Xu Sheng, on the other hand, followed Cao Ang's instructions and set out from Yingchuan to attack Yecheng.

Four ambushes, each performing their duties, quietly approached Yuan Shao's camp.

the other side.

"I don't think Liu Chuang is cheating."
