The surrounding area of ​​Wuchao was not peaceful either, and the fire that reached the sky naturally could not be concealed from the eyes and ears of both parties.

"Wuchao has succeeded! Prepare to block the reinforcements and buy time for the attackers to withdraw!" (Coalition Forces)

"Get ready for action! The decisive battle has begun!" (Han Army)

The ambush originally envisioned by the coalition forces turned into an encounter. They did not understand why the Han army appeared at this time and place. However, since it appears, there is no choice but to start a war.

Before Ma Yan and Feng Li went north around Wuchao, they encountered Hu Cheer's tribe going south. The two sides started a melee without saying a word.

Although Hu Che'er was Zhang Xiu's general, he could carry five hundred kilograms and travel seven hundred miles a day. Although he was not an enemy of ten thousand people, he was not something Ma Yan or Feng Li could resist.

The Han army was brave and struck first in an encounter. Yuan Jun could not stop it at all. A wave of attacks broke out and the army was defeated. Ma Yan and Feng Li died in the chaos. They were so aggrieved.

"Clean the battlefield, let the whole army rest for a while, and prepare to continue going south!"

Han Hao and Shi Huan, who were supporting Cao Anmin and Cao Hong, were also besieged by Zhang Xiu and Hua Xiong, and fighting broke out around Wuchao.

"Zhang Xiu is here! Why don't you get off your horse and be bound!"

Zhang Xiu led his troops from Yan County south to reinforce Wuchao, and his mission was to annihilate Fei Cao's army ambushing outside Wuchao.

"Why is Zhang Xiu of the Han army here?"

"Isn't he in Yan County?"

"The Wuchao is on fire. Zhang Xiu doesn't go to the rescue but intercepts us here. It seems like it's dangerous over there!"

Han Hao and Shi Huan quickly analyzed the battle situation and received desperate news: everything was done by the Han army. It seemed that the coalition forces were raiding Wuchao, but in fact, Wuchao was used as a bait to trick the coalition forces into attacking.

"Quick! Get out!"

"Something must have happened to Cao Hong and Cao Anmin. We must report the information to the lord immediately. Shi Huan, you go first. I will stop Zhang Xiu!"

"Brother Han Hao..."

Han Hao was originally a bandit in Hanoi and Hedong. Because Liu Han regained Hanoi and invaded Hedong, he vigorously suppressed the bandits before he fled to Shandong and finally joined Cao Cao. Therefore, he had dealings with Zhang Xiu. Although this person is not an enemy of ten thousand people, it is not something they can deal with.

"Run? Where to run! Do you recognize me, Hua Xiong?!"

Han Hao and Shi Huan were fighting with Zhang Xiu's tribe, and Hua Xiong led his army from the flank.

Compared to Zhang Xiu, Hua Xiong was obviously more prestigious. He could hold off the Kwantung Allied Forces by himself, and his force was not inferior to Zhang Xiu's.

"kill!"

The addition of Hua Xiong turned the originally evenly matched two sides into a 280-80 split. Cao's army suddenly fell into decline, and Han Hao and Shi Huan struggled to support it.

"Han Hao, Shi Huan, don't panic! I'll be here soon!"

Just when Han Hao and Shi Huan were almost desperate, Liu Pi and Gong Du led their troops from the south and opened a hole in the original encirclement.

"Liu Pi, Gong Du! They came just in time!"

Upon seeing this, Hua Xiong immediately divided his troops and personally led his troops to attack Liu Pi and Gong Du.

For no other reason than to find a future for himself. This is his first battle under the King of Hejian after he recovers from his injury. He can't be so disgraced, right?

Besides, even if the reinforcements from the opposite side arrive, they won't be much different from us, so why can't they fight?

"kill!"

All in one go!

Hua Xiong immediately raised his sword and attacked Liu Pi and Gong Du. Liu Pi and Gong Du were originally Yellow Turban thieves. Later, Nanyang Yellow Turban Qu Shuai was killed, and the two of them became rogue bandits. They were recruited by Yuan Shao some time ago. Cheng Xiang encountered a ruthless person like Hua Xiong in his first battle.

"what!"

Hua Xiong's broadsword fell, and Liu Pi blocked it with all his strength, but it still hurt the tiger's mouth. He turned to look at his companions: "Gong Du, help me!"

"I'm here!" "Hmph! So what about the two of them?"

Hua Xiong is not afraid, and he will not fall behind with one against two.

Unconsciously, the two sides fought fiercely for an hour, and the coalition forces struggled to hold on, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was only a matter of time before they were defeated and fled.

At this time, the last straw for the coalition forces appeared. Li Yan led part of the army guarding Wuchao and joined Hu Che'er's rear army to kill. The coalition forces were defeated with their last breath.

"It's over!"

Seeing Li Yan's banner, Han Hao and Shi Huan knew that the plan to attack Wuchao was completely ruined. Cao Hong, Cao Anmin, and thousands of Cao's army elites were bound to be in danger.

"Get out!"

Han Hao shouted at Liu Pi and Gong Du, "You can run back as many people as you can at this time, and you can't fight anymore."

It's just that everything was too late, and now it has become a one-sided massacre, divided, surrounded, and cannibalized, falling into the rhythm that the Han army is best at.

Han Hao was shot to death by Zhang Xiu, and Shi Huan was knocked off his horse by Hu Che'er and was seriously injured and captured alive.

Liu Pi and Gong Du fought hard to get injured, leaving Hua Xiong to defend passively. After a feint, they fled into the mountains and forests without a trace. The remaining people were either dead, injured, or captured alive. The war on Wuchao came to an end. .

An inventory after the war: out of the 5,000 troops of Cao Hong and Cao Anmin who attacked Wuchao, only more than 100 people were missing, and the rest were all killed in the battle, including the two generals.

Yuan's army in the north, Ma Yan and Feng Li, had 3,000 men, and 2,500 of them were captured alive. The rest died or fled, and the general was killed.

Encounter near Wuchao: Han Hao was killed, Shi Huan was seriously injured, half of the 4,000 men in his unit were killed, more than 1,000 people were captured, and the remaining 200 to 300 people fled to the mountains and forests without a trace.

Liu Pi and Gong Du's 4,000 men were killed, nearly 3,000 were killed, and the rest were captured.

In the entire battle, the coalition forces numbered 16,000, but less than 500 escaped.

The Han army here: 1024 people were killed in Wuchao and 606 were injured. Cao's army fought to the death, and the defenders of suffered heavy losses.

Encounter in the north: None of Hu Che'er's 102 men were killed, and only were injured.

Encounter near Wuchao: Zhang Xiu and Hua Xiong's troops totaled 1816 people, with 1024 killed and injured, which can be said to be the largest number.

The Han army invested 15,000 men, and nearly 3,000 were killed and 1,700 wounded.

The Wuchao War came to an end, but the two sides were still competing on the frontal battlefield. Zhu Ling led his troops to penetrate behind enemy lines and secretly occupied Yuxian County to prevent the enemy from escaping. The main force had been deployed and prepared for a decisive battle.

The Yuan-Cao coalition forces had received "intelligence" that they had successfully raided Wuchao, and now led a large army to sneak attack the Han army's camp, because the scouts saw with their own eyes that the Han army Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu led their troops to retreat northward, and found that the camp was empty.

"on!"

Xia Houyuan and Li Tong ordered people to take action first, and then the coalition forces poured into Liu Han's main camp.

"empty?!"

"It's empty here too!"

"Same here!"

There was no one in the coach's camp, and there was no one around. Xia Houyuan exclaimed: "No! Escape quickly!"

It's a pity it's too late.

"Xiahou son, do you recognize Huang Zhong?!"

It’s not that enemies didn’t get together, Xia Houyuan met Huang Zhong again. At this moment, shouts of killing were also heard outside the camp. Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei did not leave the camp at all, but secretly returned after avoiding the coalition scouts. Now the coalition forces are pressed from three sides, and Wen Chou, Li Dian, Yin Kai, Guo Zhao, Yu Shuo and others are struggling to support them.

"kill!"

The two sides started fighting again, and the shouts of killing were loud for a while. (End of chapter)
