Rencheng.

Cao Ang stood on the city tower, looking at the dusty battlefield in the distance and the chaotic flags, his heart tightened. Although the two sides had been confronting each other for a long time and were mentally prepared, they knew that this battle was inevitable, but suddenly it was hard to separate. After only one hour of war, Xinpi wrote a letter of help, which made people surprised and made Cao Ang feel the danger after the situation.

Yuan Tan has an absolute military advantage, how could Xinpi be in a hurry? Cao Ang didn't understand it very much. He always felt that there was another article here. Chen Gong also felt that there was something wrong and was thinking behind closed doors. No one could disturb him. The development of the war situation was too different from the expectations, and they were not mentally prepared enough. But his relationship with Yuan Tan was very subtle, so they couldn't help but deal with it accidentally.

Knowing what was impossible to see, Cao Ang still looked into the distance, his hands were clenched involuntarily, his toes were involuntarily standing on tiptoe, and his heart was beating as uneasy as the war drum outside the city. The nearest battlefield was only more than ten miles away, and the sound of the war drums there had been a while, and the outcome was not decided. He could not see clearly in the distance. He could hear the vague drum sound before, but now it was covered up, and there was no way to know how the progress was.

Xinpi's letter of help said that this was the main battlefield to ambush Sun Ce, with a total of 10,000 elite soldiers. In addition, the 5,000 guard infantry and cavalry led by Yuan Tan himself, Xinpi gathered 15,000 people to encircle and annihilate Sun Ce. How many Sun Ce did there be? Xinpi said that it was less than a thousand cavalry. He surrounded him yesterday, so why didn't he attack immediately? Xinpi said that he wanted to use Sun Ce as bait to lure Zhu Huan, who was Kang's father.

It sounds like nothing wrong, but the logic is not working, which always makes people feel that this is a pitfall.

At this time, several riders ran from afar, and the knights were whipping the war horses wildly. The war horses ran at high speed, and a rolling dust was pulled up behind them. A knight ran too fast and was not well controlled when turning. The war horse fell and fell, slid more than ten feet away. The knight on the horse's back fell and could not get up again.

Cao Ang quickly calmed down and leaned out to look out.

After a while, a knight came outside the city, shouted loudly across the moat, "Mr. Yuan, is here."

"Who?" Cao Ang asked at the top of his throat without hearing it clearly.

"Envoy Yuan, Yuan Tan Yuan Envoy Yuan."

Cao Ang was startled and looked up. He only saw dozens of cavalry running from afar. There were smoke and dust rising behind him, and there were more cavalrymen. Who was Yuan Tan? Why did Yuan Tan come here? There were countless questions in Cao Ang's heart, but no answer was answered.

After a while, several cavalry rushed to the city one after another and reported the news that Yuan Tan was approaching, but no one could answer Cao Ang's questions. Cao Ang was nervous and didn't know what to do. When he was anxious, a cavalry rushed to tell Cao Ang that Yuan Tan was defeated and was chased by Sun Ce and was running towards this side.

Cao Ang was shocked and could not believe his ears. Yuan Tan had 15,000 people, and there were 5,000 elite infantry cavalry around him. How could he be defeated and pursued by Sun Ce? Didn’t it mean that Sun Ce had 1,000 cavalry? Could it be that Sun Ce really won’t be able to take one as ten?

Before Cao Ang could figure out the truth, Yuan Tan came to the city with only more than ten cavalry beside him. While watching in panic, he gestured desperately and pointed at the city gate, looking anxious, but he didn't say a word.

Cao Ang asked loudly for no reason, "Eunuch, what's going on?"

Yuan Tan was so angry that his seven orifices were smoked. Sun Ce was right behind. You put down the suspension bridge first and let me cross the moat. When I enter the city, can you ask slowly? Do you have to ask now? He wanted to explain, but he ran too fast, his heart beat faster, his throat was dry and painful, and he couldn't say a word. He connected a few mouthfuls of saliva, and finally felt his throat felt a little more comfortable and could speak, but he saw that Sun Ce and others had chased him hundreds of steps away. Even if Cao Ang was now, it was too late to release the suspension bridge. Yuan Tan shouted in anger: "Go!" He used a horse whip to slash the war horse, accelerated again, and ran north.

Several knights turned around to intercept and bought time for Yuan Tan. Guo Wu was the first to arrive, and rushed into the crowd with his spear flying, instantly killing two people. Seeing this, the two knights of the guards rode their horses and struck them up. Guo Wu could not dodge, and his mount was hit, and he walked a few steps beside the neighing sound, and fell to the ground. Seeing that the situation was not good, Guo Wu waved his spear a little on the ground, and took advantage of the momentum to rise again. He turned over the heads of the two knights who rushed over, and as soon as his feet landed on the ground, he stood up again and killed the last knight. The knight thrust his spear. Guo Wu twisted his body, let his spear go, jumped up, knocked the knight off the horse, and sat on the back, turned the horse's head, and chased Yuan Tan again.

Cao Ang and others on the city wall saw it clearly and looked at each other. Who is this? With a few enemies, he can still kill horses?

"Good skills!" Pan Zhang patted the city wall and praised loudly: "If you can compete with such masters, it will be worth it."

Cao Ang had no time to think about this. Sun Ce and Ma Chao and more than a hundred cavalry rushed to the city, and chased northwards without stopping, like tigers and horses like dragons, all of them competing for the first place. The knights tried to step forward to intercept them, but were killed in an instant, and were corpse under the city. Someone left the team, led a few empty-saddled war horses, and chased northwards.

After a while, Yan Xing led five or six hundred cavalry to come over and passed by the city. Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others followed closely behind, and more than a thousand cavalry passed by the city in a mighty manner and chased far away.

Seeing this scene, Cao Ang regretted it. Although he didn't know why, Yuan Tan was indeed defeated. Not only did he lose, but he also left the order. Sun Ce led his personal guard infantry and cavalry to chase him like a stray dog. He came to Rencheng to seek shelter. But he misunderstood Yuan Tan and missed the opportunity to rescue Yuan Tan. Now Yuan Tan can only escape north. Whether he can escape from Sun Ce depends entirely on the will of heaven.

Cao Ang gritted his teeth and turned around and ran towards the city. "Wengui, hurry up! Gather the personal guards and cavalry, and we will go and save the envoy Yuan."

Pan Zhang ran down the city without saying a word, running and shouting loudly. The guards were just under the city wall, standing at any time. When he heard Pan Zhang's shouting, they all got on the horse and prepared to set off. Cao Ang ordered the suspension bridge to be lowered, opened the city gate, and walked down the city wall quickly and turned over. He had just arrived at the city gate. Cao Ren and two knights came to the horse and stopped Cao Ang.

"General, where are you going?"

"Envoy Yuan is in danger, Sun Ce is chasing him, I want to go and pick him up."

"Just because of these dozens of horses?" Cao Ren turned over and got off the horse, rushed to Cao Ang, reached out to grab Cao Ang's reins, and shouted sternly: "Do you think you are Sun Ce's opponent?"

"I know I'm not, but I can't..."

Before Cao Ang finished speaking, Cao Ren hugged him in the waist and pulled him off the horse's back. "Protect the general and don't let him go out of the city." Cao Ren said without saying anything, turned over and ran towards the city gate that had just opened a crack. "Personal guards, follow me."

"Uncle--" Cao Ang was very anxious. Two guards rushed up and hugged him firmly. Cao Ang couldn't break free and watched Cao Ren rush out of the city gate, shouting in a hurry: "Wengui, be sure to protect his uncle."

"Don't worry, General." Pan Zhang responded loudly and rode his horse to chase him out.
