The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

The vast Yishui River became the reliance of Cao's army at this time.

Sima De had anticipated this and had scattered many boats on the river in advance.

Seeing that the enemy's strength was weakening, he immediately ordered thousands of arrows to be fired!
In an instant, the Cao army archers on the ship hit their targets without missing a single shot.

Arrows rained down upon the enemy like a rainstorm.

The Wuhuan cavalry were unable to dodge in time and rushed around in the army formation like headless flies.

Countless Hu people were trampled by friendly forces without any organization.

In an instant, he became the unlucky ghost under the horse's hooves.

The wailing and neighing of horses interweave into a symphony of death on the north bank of the Yishui River.

These Wuhuan barbarians have not yet recovered from the first wave of arrows.

The second round of arrow rain from Cao's army followed!

This caused them to suffer heavy casualties at one time.

And in the midst of this chaos, someone was shouting confusing orders to retreat in a nonsensical language.

But Cao's army's rain of arrows would naturally not stop.

The Wuhuan army's retreat turned into defeat in an instant.

The number of people who trampled on each other far exceeded the number killed by Cao's army.

Even the white flag representing the Wuhuan leader in the distance was shaking.

It seemed that even the capable minister Di's own troops were struck by the blow of the defeated army.

Seeing this godsend opportunity, Cao Zhang quickly waved his heavy spear and shouted loudly:

"The enemy has been completely routed!"

"This is the first move to defeat the enemy. Soldiers, charge!"

All the generals present were shocked when they heard this!

Who would have thought that this commander who had fought fiercely with the enemy for nearly half an hour.

Do you still have the energy to pursue the enemy at this time?
However, Sima De was not surprised by this.

Just let Cao Zhang do what he wants.

As a result, a gap quickly appeared in Cao's chariot formation.

Cao Zhang was leading the way at this time, followed closely by Yan Rou.

The cavalry surged out like a tide.

Seeing this, Cao's army on the south bank beat drums to cheer.

Xiahou Shang also hurriedly led his troops ashore and shouted to cheer.

For a moment, the sound of drums shook the sky and Cao’s army was in high spirits!
In fact, even if Cao Zhang no longer led his troops to pursue actively.

The defeat of the Wuhuan rebels was irreversible.

They are ready to scatter like birds and beasts and seek their own way to survive.

And these waves of war drums broke their last psychological defenses!

These Wuhuan soldiers were once as fierce as tigers and wolves.

At this moment, they are just a group of frightened birds, trying to avoid Cao's army as much as possible!

The army was already in disarray due to the shock, so how could they fight back?

So, these Wuhuan soldiers lost their commander.

Some were trampled by horses, some were killed by Cao's army, some drowned in the river, and some fled into the mountains and forests.

Many people even knelt on the spot and surrendered!

At this time, tens of thousands of troops fled in all directions and the situation was in chaos for a while.

Although the Wuhuan leader Nengchen Di tried his best to shout, no one responded.

The white flag behind him, symbolizing power, also finally fell.

Knowing that the situation was hopeless, the capable minister Di had no choice but to throw away his armor.

He brought his trusted subordinates and stepped over the corpses of his companions.

Fleeing hastily to the northern valley...

The Cao army, from top to bottom, immediately erupted in thunderous cheers.

Even the wounded soldiers who fell to the ground forgot their pain and laughed out loud!

Although they had just arrived, they completely defeated the enemy in just one battle.

This is definitely a complete victory!
However, in the midst of jubilation.

Sima De, who was in charge of the central army for Cao Zhang, also issued a new order:
"The rest of the troops will cross the river in an orderly manner and then find a river bank to camp."

Waiting for Xiahou Shang behind to come ashore in a hurry.

Seeing that Cao Zhang had disappeared, he quickly asked:
"Master Sima, where is the general?"

"Where is our main cavalry?"

At this time, the fighting on the battlefield had died down.

All that was left in the valley were weapons and corpses.

The remnants of the capable Di clan and the main cavalry of Cao's army were nowhere to be seen.

Sima De replied calmly:
"The general has already gone with Captain Yan and others to pursue the enemy!" "Ah?!" Xiahou Shang was shocked and worried.

"The enemy has been completely routed, why are they still..."

"Then what should we do? The troops on the south bank are still waiting for orders."

Sima De wiped the blood from his face and climbed onto the horse very nimbly.

"We follow the general to the battle, serving as both officers and guards."

"If there is even the slightest negligence, death will be the consequence."

"Now he is leading his army in pursuit, we should follow him!"

Tian Yu had been directing his soldiers to push the carts, and they were already exhausted after a tough battle.

At this time, he was also panting and said: "I really can't catch up..."

"The Art of War says: Don't pursue an enemy who is desperate; besiege a city and leave a gap."

"The General who conquers the West is not familiar with the terrain of Youzhou, so it is not advisable to go deep into it."

"Please ask Sima Zhubu to follow quickly."

"We must not let him pursue us any further."

Sima De nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

"What Tian Changshi said makes sense, and we should do the same."

"Now the general is taking advantage of the victory and pursuing the enemy!"

"We need to keep up with the coach."

"How about this, the cavalry will follow me, and the infantry will do their best."

"Those who can't keep up will find a safe place and set up camp there."

"These are matters of collecting supplies, treating the wounded, and comforting those who surrender."

"I'll leave it to Chief Secretary Tian and Captain Qian!"

There was unquestionable determination in Sima De's voice.

Then he glanced at Xiahou Shang and said:

"Brother Boren, you have to keep up!"

After saying this, he also clapped his whip.

He rode his horse quickly in the direction where Cao Zhang had just left.

Xiahou Shang felt helpless when he heard this, and hurriedly jumped on his horse and followed.

On the other side, Cao Zhang crossed the Yishui River and defeated the Wuhuan army.

In order to pursue the Wuhuan leader Nengchen Di, they chased him relentlessly all the way.

Sima De chased from the bank of Yishui River in Zhuo County until he was almost at Dai County.

Only then did they catch up with the main cavalry led by Cao Zhang.

Even so, Xiahou Shang behind him never fell behind.

Like Sima De, he was also very tired.

If he hadn't held the reins tightly with both hands, he would have fallen off the horse long ago.

Xiahou Shang had already entered Dai County, but Cao Zhang still had no intention of taking him in.

I couldn't help but bite the bullet and advised: "General, please be careful!"

"The king ordered us to pacify the Wuhuan in Shanggu, and now we have accomplished our mission."

"The capable Di army wants to turn north and go beyond the border, so our army should not go any further."

"Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, the army will fail!"

At this point, his concern was no longer about the outcome of the battle.

But he was afraid that Cao Zhang's achievements were too outstanding.

When he returns to the court, I'm afraid it will shake the position of Prince Cao Pi!
Sima De also knew exactly what he was thinking.

At this time, he wiped the dust off his face and asked:

"Doesn't General Xiahou know that to eliminate evil, you must root it out?"

"The barbarians rebelled and then surrendered, surrendered and then rebelled again. How can we let them go so easily?"

"In order to ensure the stability of our Han border, that capable minister Di must not be allowed to stay!"

When Cao Zhang heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said:
"Renda is absolutely right!"

"We are leading an army on an expedition, and our only goal is victory. How can we be restricted by rules?"

"The barbarians have not yet fled far away. We will surely win if we pursue them."

"Is it the behavior of a great general to follow orders and let the enemy go?"

"I have made up my mind, Boren, no need to say anything more!"

After saying that, he also waved his hand.

He ordered the captain Yan Rou beside him: "Keep chasing!"

Yan Rou received the order and turned back to pass the order to the entire army. (End of this chapter)
