It was Zhang Liao, who personally led the cavalry to chase after them.

Where else can Cao Cao escape to!
At this moment, Zhang Liao killed anyone he saw without mercy.

The Han cavalry were in high spirits and full of murderous intent.

They all wanted to compete for Cao Cao’s head and achieve unprecedented merit.

Cao Cao knew very well that if he was captured by Zhang Liao, he would surely die.

If he is not killed and Cao Cao is handed over to Liu Bei, life would be worse than death.

A great hero, the Emperor of Qin.

What a shame it would be to become a prisoner!

“Quick, stop Zhang Liao!”

“Cao Cao must not fall into his hands!”

Cao Cao shouted at his generals.

Cao Cao hoped that they would risk their lives to stop Zhang Liao.

However, the generals have already fled, who will resist?

“His Majesty!”

“I am willing to repay your majesty’s kindness with my death!”

“I am leaving now. Your Majesty, take care!”

One of the generals turned around and attacked Zhang Liao.

“Zhang… Zhang Ren…”

Cao Cao said in a trembling voice.

Unexpectedly, at this desperate moment, there was only one person willing to sacrifice his life.

It turned out to be this person from Shu.

After despair, Cao Cao sighed and continued to run.

And Zhang Ren behind him was getting farther and farther away.

He urged his trusted Shu soldiers to charge towards Zhang Liao.

Cao Cao was very clear about Zhang Liao’s strength.

In today’s battle, Zhang Ren will definitely die, but he doesn’t care.

He wanted to use his own life to cover Cao Cao’s escape to the south.

The two armies collided and blood splattered everywhere.

Zhang Ren’s Shu cavalry was an elite force.

With only a hundred people, they managed to hold out against an overwhelming force.

Not only that, it also blocked the Han army’s pursuit.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao became enraged.

“Kill them all!”

Zhang Liao brandished his long sword and roared angrily.

The Shu cavalry who blocked his way were stabbed to the ground by his long sword.

He had only one thought:
Anyone who stands in my way will die!
They killed wildly along the way, and more than a hundred Shu cavalry were killed.

Only Zhang Ren was left.

Zhang Renbei roared angrily:
“Zhang Ren is here, I want your life!”

Accompanied by a fierce roar, Zhang Ren rushed forward alone.

“Zhang Ren!”

“This time, I will kill you!”

Zhang Liao roared.

He held a long knife in his hand and rushed towards Zhang Ren.

The two horses collided with each other, and their swords collided with each other.

“throat!”

There was a loud bang as the sky collapsed and huge dust rose up.

The soldiers on both sides were blown away and fell to the ground.

Amidst the raging dust, Zhang Liao stood firm.

Zhang Ren’s palms felt numb and his hands were cracked and bleeding.

The winner will be decided after one move.

Zhang Liao didn’t give him a breath and slashed again with the long sword in his hand.

In an instant, Zhang Ren’s body was wrapped in the knife shadow.

This time, Zhang Liao showed no mercy.

The knife shadow swept down like a star.

After more than thirty moves, Zhang Ren’s sword fell off with a scream.

His figure rose into the air and flew backwards.

“boom!”

He fell to the ground, breaking his bones.

Zhang Ren was seriously injured.

“Zhang Liao, you…you…”

Zhang Ren, lying on the ground, gritted his teeth and kept scratching the ground.

He wanted to capture Zhang Liao to death with his hands covered in blood.

“Zhang Ren!”

“Back then, when you betrayed Liu Zhang and surrendered to Cao Cao, did you ever think that you would end up like this?”

Zhang Liao held his long sword against Zhang Ren’s face and shouted.

“Zhang Liao, I’m going to kill you…”

“I am a Qin official in life and a Qin ghost in death…”

Zhang Ren showed no remorse and cursed with gnashing teeth.

Zhang Liao’s eyes focused and he stabbed down with the bloody knife.

“boom!”

Zhang Ren’s head was smashed to pieces.

Looking at the corpse, Zhang Liao snorted coldly.

He continued to run wildly, harvesting enemy soldiers.

Behind me is the city wall of Fucheng.

The Han army’s flag was raised above the south gate.

Chengdu city.

People in Chengdu were in panic.

Cao Cao slumped on the dragon throne, his face pale and his eyes filled with despair.

In the battle of Fucheng, they were defeated.

From then on, he fled in panic like a frightened bird, and after several days of running, he finally returned to Chengdu.

Tens of thousands of troops were lost in Fucheng.

Only a few thousand soldiers survived.

The garrison of Chengdu numbered no more than a few thousand men.

The two armies together had only about ten thousand people.

These more than ten thousand soldiers and horses are the entire strength of the Qin Dynasty.

“Is the Great Qin really going to perish?”

Cao Cao looked up to the sky and sighed, feeling extremely desperate.

“Your Majesty, we still have a chance!”

“Although our army only has 10,000 soldiers, we still have the Nanman Army!”

“Your Majesty, please mobilize troops from all counties to enter Chengdu to strengthen the defense.”

“At the same time, order the Crown Prince to speed up his journey and urge Meng Huo to send his troops.”

Huang Quan offered another strategy.

Prior to this, he asked Meng Huo to send troops.

Cao Cao not only sent Zhang Song, but also Cao Pi.

According to the plan, Cao Pi should have just arrived in Jiangyang.

Who could have thought that Fucheng would fall.

“I never thought I would be reduced to the point where the barbarians had to rescue me. What a shame!”

Cao Cao beat his chest and stamped his feet, feeling sad, angry and ashamed.

After a long time, Cao Cao waved his hands weakly:

“It has come to this, and this is the only way.”

“Send a message to the Crown Prince, order him to hurry south to seek help!”

…

Annan City, inside the City Hall.

Cao Pi stared at the map in his hand solemnly.

“Jiangge Pass, so strategic, was actually breached!”

“What exactly is this for?”

Cao Pi pounded the table.

Originally, he was based in Chengdu and enjoyed the glory.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Dan sneaked across Yinping and launched a surprise attack on Jiangyou.

Cao Cao abandoned Jiange and led his troops to retreat to Fucheng.

In order to seek help, Cao Cao sent him to Nanzhong to invite Meng Huo.

Cao Pi had no choice but to set out on the journey south.

Accompanied by Sima Yi, he went to Nanzhong.

Today, they just left Chengdu and arrived in Annan City.

At this time, Cao Pi was unwilling and cursed angrily.

“Your Highness!”

“Complaining is useless.”

“In my opinion, we should head south as soon as possible and ask Meng Huo for help.”

Cheng Yu persuaded.

Cao Pi gritted his teeth and said:
“I, the Crown Prince of the Great Qin, am actually asking the barbarians for help!”

“How hateful!”

Cheng Yu comforted:
“Asking for help from the barbarians is a helpless act.”

“Only by holding Fucheng and repelling Liu Bei can we turn the tide.”

“The King of Yue endured humiliation and hardship in those days. Your Highness should reflect on yourself.”

Cheng Yu praised and flattered him.

Cao Pi’s expression eased slightly.

With a sigh, Cao Pi waved his hand and said:

“Forget it, let’s rest for a few days and then head south.”

Just finished speaking.

The personal guards broke in, and Mao Jie followed orders and came forward to convey the imperial edict.

Cao Cao has an order?

Cao Pi and Cheng Yu looked at each other.

An ominous premonition flashed across the eyes of the two.

At this critical moment, Cao Cao suddenly sent someone to convey his order, which must mean something big happened on the northern front.

Cao Pi pretended to be calm and let the messenger in.

A moment.

Mao Jie looked solemn as he stumbled inside.

“What is the purpose of the emperor sending you here?”

“Is the war going badly?”

Without waiting for Mao Jie to speak, Cao Pi asked.

Mao Jie bowed solemnly and said:
“Your Highness, the northern front has completely collapsed.”

“Fucheng has been lost, Your Majesty, please retreat to Chengdu!”

When these words were spoken, Cao Pi’s face changed.

Fucheng fell so quickly?
It was only a few days since he went on the mission!

“Father, are you so vulnerable?”

Cao Pi blurted out.

“It’s not that Your Majesty is incompetent, it’s that the Han army is too numerous.”

“With a ten-fold difference, how can our army not be defeated?”

Mao Jie said while crying.

Cao Pi staggered a few times and then fell down.

He turned around woodenly and looked at Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu’s face was full of helplessness and despair.

Obviously.

He did not expect that Cao Cao would lose Fucheng so quickly.

He also didn’t expect that the Han army’s siege capability was so strong.

Tens of thousands of Qin troops and a fortified city of Fu.

How could they be so vulnerable under the attack of the Han army? (End of this chapter)
