The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 77
Nanhua made a fuss in Xudu, and disappeared after being driven away.

Cao Cao, who didn't know it, launched a fierce attack on Yuan Shao.

Most of the Yuan family's soldiers were recruits recently recruited. Facing the Cao army who had experienced hundreds of battles, they had no power to resist and retreated steadily.

In the battle with Yuan Xu, Cao Jun was defeated repeatedly.

Facing Yuan Shao, they were extremely brave.

Cangting was defeated again, Yuan Shao was so angry that he couldn't get sick.

When the rain was pouring, Feng Ji and others escorted Yuan Shao and retreated in the direction of Yecheng.

The road was muddy, the soldiers dragged their exhausted bodies forward, and the horses were mostly exhausted. From time to time, one or two horses fell to the ground.

Cao Cao led the army in hot pursuit.

If Yuan Shao is destroyed, Hebei will fall into his hands. Even if Xu Du and the Han emperor are lost, it will be enough to make up for the loss.

Yuan Shao was seriously ill, coupled with the heavy rain, the road was muddy, and the team moved extremely slowly.

After withdrawing from Cangting for only thirty or forty miles, they were overtaken by Cao Cao's army.

Surrounding Yuan Jun, Cao Cao shouted, "Is Yuan Benchu ​​here?"

The sky seemed to have been poked a hole, and the pouring rain drenched the people.

The exhausted Yuan Jun formed a defensive formation, with helplessness and despair on everyone's face.

Yuan Shao, who was seriously ill, moved his eyelids when he heard Cao Cao shouting.

Feng Ji persuaded: "My lord, don't bother, I'm still alive, so I won't let Cao Cao get close.

Yuan Shao wanted to open his eyes and speak, but he didn't have any strength in his body.

Even moving the eyelids is as difficult as reaching the sky.

Yuan Shao didn't respond, Cao Cao shouted again: "Brother Benchu, I chased you so hard, it was actually out of kindness."

"Bah! I've never seen such a shameless person!" Feng Ji spat: "What good intentions can he have?"

Yuan Shao could hear Cao Cao shouting, but could not respond.

Lying on the carriage, drenched in the torrential rain, his fists were clenched tightly, and his whole body was cold.

"I should have heard of the Nanhua Immortal at the beginning." Cao Cao said, "He came out of the mountain specially for Yuan Xianxin, and was punished by the Immortal family. Your four sons have already been turned into powder together with his murderous corpse. I met him for the first time."

Nanhua once presented Zhang Jiao with "The Elements of Peace". In the eyes of the heroes of the late Han Dynasty and the people of the world, it was not much different from rebellious officials and thieves.

His celestial art has long been advertised by the world as miraculous.

Yuan Shao spat out a mouthful of blood.

"My lord." Feng Ji stepped forward to comfort him, "Fourth young master is as talented as the heavens, not to mention that Nanhua might not have gone at all, even if he did go, he might not be his opponent. Don't take Cao Mengde's words to heart."

The blood stains at the corner of his mouth had been washed away by the rain, Yuan Shao didn't say anything.

Of course, he didn't have the energy to say it.

"Destroy them." Cao Cao gave the order.

Cao Jun then moved forward.

Exhausted and desperate, the soldiers of the Yuan family raised their weapons and prepared to meet the enemy.

"My lord." Xun Yu pointed to the distance, "There is a team coming."

Cao Cao looked over, and sure enough, he saw a group of people approaching quickly at the end of the horizon.

He knew very well that it was impossible for his own reinforcements to rush over, and his face suddenly turned ugly.

Cao Jun charged and fought fiercely with Yuan Jun.

The men and horses who came to kill here were the Taiyuan army led by Gan Ning.

Riding his horse and galloping to the front, Gan Ning brandished his weapon and rushed into the battlefield.

Although the Taiyuan army did not personally experience many battles, following Yuan Xu's repeated attacks on the city, their morale was like a rainbow.

Without any hesitation, they followed Gan Ning and crashed into the battlefield.

When the reinforcements arrived, the Yuan family's generals, whose morale had fallen to the bottom, were excited. They all roared and launched a counterattack against Cao Jun.

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see Yuan Xu.

Gan Ning's bravery made his eyes shine again.

Pointing to Gan Ning, he asked the generals behind him, "Who captured this man?"

Cao Cao loves talents, and of course he couldn't bear to kill a fierce general like Gan Ning.

Xu Chu stepped forward: "The final general is willing to go!"

"Zhongkang be careful." Cao Cao urged.

Xu Chu agreed, and galloped his horse towards Gan Ning.

Just as he was about to kill, he saw a fast horse rushing towards him. Gan Ning yelled, "Good job!"

Urging his horse to meet him, he and Xu Chu fought each other on the battlefield.

The two sides fought fiercely, and there were bursts of piano sounds in the distance.

Several streams of black air rolled from the direction where Gan Ning appeared, circling over the battlefield, and the sky with heavy rain was darker than before.

When the sound of the zither came, Cao Ren was startled. He stepped forward and said to Cao Cao, "My lord, Yuan Xianxin is here."

Cao Cao asked, "How do you know?"

"Every time he appears, he will be accompanied by the sound of the zither." Cao Ren replied, "The general thought that it was the sound of the zither that drove the murderous corpse."

Black air lingered over the battlefield, and the dead soldiers of both sides got up one by one.

Their eyes were empty, retaining the expression of death in battle.

After standing up, they rushed towards Cao Jun one after another.

"The murderous corpse only kills Cao Jun!" Someone shouted on the battlefield.

The officers and soldiers of the Yuan family and the Taiyuan army were excited, and together with the murderous corpses, they launched a fierce counterattack against Cao Jun.

"Block them, hurry up, stop them!" Cao Cao hurriedly ordered when the battle situation was reversed.

Cao Jun, who stayed in the middle army, also rushed to the battlefield.

A carriage and some horses appeared in the distance.

A person in the carriage was playing the piano in the heavy rain. Although he couldn't see his face, Cao Cao knew that he was Yuan Xu.

There are several people following Yuan Xu.

One of them, with a long sword on his waist, was Deng Zhan who went to Yecheng to assassinate Zhen Mi but failed and defected to Yuan Xu.

The other two were wearing armor but wearing scribes' headscarves. If they weren't Pang Tong and Jiang Gan, who could they be?
In addition to the three people, there were several elite guards clustered around the carriage.

The fighting became more and more intense, more and more soldiers fell, but the number of murderous corpses was growing rapidly.

Cao Jun fell to the ground and wailed in pain. What they waited for was not the rescue of their companions, but the fatal bite of the murderous corpse or the thoughtless stabbing of the opponent's soldiers.

Pang Tong rode his horse to the front of the battlefield.

He shouted to Cao Cao: "Cao Mengde, you are a villain in vain and invited the villain Nanhua to Xudu with the intention of murdering your son. Unfortunately, Nanhua's mana is limited, but he was severely injured by your son. This is the end, if you still don't surrender, are you waiting to die? "

Cao Cao suddenly felt shocked and confused.

Nan Hua couldn't deal with Yuan Xu, so what could he do?
Feng Ji was delighted: "My lord, did you hear that? The fourth son repelled Nanhua, and the savior is here!"

Yuan Shao's face showed relief, his eyes were tightly closed, and two lines of old tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Since Guandu, he has fought countless battles with Cao Cao, and lost many times, never winning so thoroughly.

He wanted to say something, but he didn't even have the strength to move his lips.

The battle situation was reversed, and Cao Cao knew that there was no chance of winning.

Not daring to delay, he immediately ordered to withdraw.

The officers and soldiers of the Yuan family wished him to leave quickly, they did not pursue, they all retreated to Yuan Shao's side to protect him, only the Taiyuan army and the murderous corpse pursued closely.

The sound of the piano stopped, and Yuan Xu arrived in a carriage.

He jumped off the carriage and quickly walked to Yuan Shao's car: "Father, I'm here!"
