    [Thanks to book friend "Bare" for the tip!  ¡¿

    Seeing that Sun Jian and others were in dire straits, Cao Ang left a hundred men to take care of them and help carry the wounded, while he and Bao Zhong led the remaining 3,200 men to the battlefield.  As for Li Qian and others, they had already turned their horses and rushed to the front of the army, acting as the eyes and ears of the army.

    As the army moved northward, Jiangdong Army continued to be found defeated.  Although these defeated soldiers did not have the courage to fight to the end with the Xiliang army, they were determined not to be prisoners.  Although they lost their armor and weapons and were in a miserable state, in Cao Ang's view, they still managed to maintain the heart of a warrior.

    For such soldiers, Cao Ang had no discrimination at all, and immediately ordered Xiao Yi to take more than a hundred soldiers to take them in.  Cao Ang also specifically asked Xiao Yi to publicize Cao's army's generous treatment to the soldiers he took in, and to focus the propaganda on those young and strong soldiers who had no relatives in Jiangdong.

    Xiao Yi understood this and immediately led his people into action. Soon, a recruitment shed was created

    Bao Zhong smiled and said to Cao Ang: "Zixiu, you are poaching Sun Jian's corner. This is not the behavior of a gentleman!"

    Cao Ang scratched his head and said, "Uncle, you know that I am a small nephew, so I can only think about some crooked ways. Unlike my uncle, who has a big family and a big business, a little leakage between his fingers is enough for us.  Half a year¡¯s expenses!¡±

    Bao Zhong laughed, "What a mouthful you are! Zixiu, don't stay with your uncle Zi Lian (Cao Hong) anymore. You will be led astray by him!"

    The two of them were talking and laughing loudly, and the soldiers around them heard it clearly.  Oddly enough, everyone was a little nervous when they were participating in a war for the first time. But after hearing what the two of them said, they breathed a sigh of relief and became relatively relaxed.

    At this time, Liao Hua also led people to rush to the vicinity of Bishui Pass. Seeing that the gate of Bishui Pass was wide open and there were torches on the top of the city gate, Liao Hua suddenly had a crazy idea!

    He left forty soldiers to set up torches in the woods, while he took the remaining sixty cavalry and rushed to the foot of Sishui Pass.

    Although the number of cavalry is small, once they run, they are terrifying. As soon as Liao Hua and others ran to the city gate, Hu Zhen on the city ordered people to shout loudly and asked: "Who is under the city? Enter the city and dismount!"

    Hu Zhen did not think that these people were enemy troops. After all, Hua Xiong and the others now had an absolute advantage on the battlefield. Where would a small group of enemy troops dare to run wild under Sishui Pass, even if they were kicked in the head by a donkey?  Something like this happened!

    Everyone on the city wall stretched their necks and looked down curiously.  Hearing the shouts, Liao Hua and others immediately stopped, completely exposing their figures to the light of the fire.  Liao Hua even shouted loudly: "Is General Hu here? My subordinates have something urgent!"

    When Hu Zhen heard what he said, he thought it was a messenger sent by Li Su or Hua Xiong!  It's just that this messenger is so rude, he doesn't even know how to dismount his horse and bow!  After muttering a few words in his belly, Hu Zhen coughed: "That's it, I am!"

    Before he finished speaking, Liao Hua and others had already drawn their bows and arrows from their backs in unison, and shot in the direction of the sound coming from the opposite side.  After quickly shooting a round of arrows, Liao Hua roared, and all the cavalry followed him and accelerated their retreat.

    The incident happened suddenly, and the defenders on the city had no defense at all. Not a single archer could react. They all stood there stupidly, allowing Liao Hua and the others to escape!

    As for Hu Zhen, even though he was hiding in the shadows, he was unlucky enough to be hit by an arrow, which hit him in the thigh.  If he moved a little further to the side, Hu Zhen could pack his parcel and go to the palace to take up the post of chamberlain!

    Touching his intact lifeblood, Hu Zhen took a long breath, and then roared angrily: "Sound the alarm, close the city gate, and everyone immediately went to the city to be on guard. How could this small group of cavalry have such courage?  , there must be a large enemy force behind them!"

    After hearing his order, the alarm bell on the city gate tower suddenly rang!  Several heavily armed messengers jumped on their horses and ran quickly out of the city.  As soon as the messenger left the city, the city gate was tightly closed!

    At this time, Hua Xiong, who had not caught Sun Jian, was whipping Huang Gai depressedly: "Old boy, will you surrender? Will you surrender?!"

    Poor Huang Gai¡¯s hands and feet were tied tightly, and the guards who were afraid that he would commit suicide by chewing his tongue stuffed a smelly sock in his mouth!  Now even if Huang Gai wanted to surrender, he couldn't speak at all.

    His pitiful appearance made Hua Xiong's guards laugh.  On the other hand, Li Su couldn't stand it any longer and persuaded in a low voice: "General Hua, this Huang Gai is also a general in Sun Jian's army. If you want to persuade him to surrender, you should act like a polite corporal; if you don't want to persuade him to surrender, just do it."  It's time to kill him as a warning to others. Now you're just here to torment others, it's too muchHow unkind!  "

    Hua Xiong said angrily: "I finally fell in love with a general, but that guy died for Sun Jian's foolish loyalty. I'm filled with anger!"

    He pointed at Huang Gai with his riding crop and said with a sneer: "I can't stand a guy like this who takes the initiative to lay down his weapons and surrender. I'll beat him to death!"

    Li Su persuaded in a low voice: "General, you can't say that. In fact, this man resisted until the end! It wasn't until I threatened him with the lives of these prisoners that he put down his weapons. This can be regarded as a serious act of love and justice!"

    Hua Xiong sighed and said angrily: "What you said makes some sense, but after all, the person just now doesn't agree with me! What a pity, what a pity!"

    While Hua Xiong was sighing, the envoy sent by Hu Zhen came on horseback and said quickly: "General, Sishui Pass was attacked, and most of the guards were injured!"

    Hua Xiong and Li Su were shocked and quickly asked what happened.

    After listening to the envoy's story, Hua Xiong waved the envoy away and said with a smile to Li Su: "This is a trick of the traitor soldiers, just to lure us away. As for Hu Daduhu being injured, it's just bad luck.  Can you imagine that the bandit leader has such courage?! There are thousands of men and horses in Sishui Pass, so it should be no big deal; besides, there are so many grains and equipment in this camp waiting for us to clean up. If we withdraw our troops and return to the city, we can  I suffered a big loss!"

    Li Su nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, then shook his head.  He waved his hands to the left and right, and the guards came forward and dragged Huang Gai away.  When there was no one else around, Li Su whispered: "General Hua's words make sense, but I, Li Su, have to withdraw!"

    Li Su approached Hua Xiong and whispered: "Although this is obviously the enemy's trick, it may not be seen through. It is just a matter of ability. Whether to withdraw the troops or not is a matter of attitude! Hu Zhennuo is also the prime minister.  The Great Protector appointed by Your Excellency controls you and me. If we don't obey his orders, then this guy will definitely not give us good things to eat! General Hua is a close confidant of the Prime Minister, and I, Li Su, have only a limited foundation in the army.  It¡¯s better to be obedient and obey orders.¡±

    Although what Li Su said made sense, Hua Xiong still found it hard to accept: "But we haven't finished cleaning the battlefield yet, so all the loot will be in vain!"

    Li Su said with a smile: "Since we plan to obey the order, we must put on a show! Isn't it just some trophies? When we defeat the enemy and report the credit, will the Prime Minister still treat us badly? Not to mention the two of us leading the charge.  The army withdraws to the pass, but Zhao Cen's troops may not necessarily withdraw. Maybe this is Master Hu's original intention, he is greedy for these trophies! General Hua, you need to think more about what you do. Let's use this trophy in exchange for Hu Zhen's goodwill. This deal is worth it!  "

    What Li Su said made sense. Hua Xiong suddenly stamped his foot: "I just gave Zhao Cen an advantage! Come here, send the order, take the prisoners, and withdraw the troops immediately!"

    Li Su's army originally had more than 1,000 people, Hua Xiong's headquarters originally had 1,500 people, and the two armies totaled more than 2,500 people.  After a fierce battle with Sun Jian, although Sun Jian's troops were defeated in one fell swoop with their tactical advantages, Hua Xiong and Li Su also paid a heavy price. About 500 people were killed and nearly 1,000 people were injured.  Although they are just cleaning up the battlefield in a hurry, they have captured more than 3,000 prisoners of war.  Although they have made up their mind to retreat, Hua Xiong and Li Su still have to consider their own interests. As long as these prisoners of war are screened, they are good replacements!

    After Hua Xiong and Li Su withdrew, only Zhao Cen's troops were left on the battlefield.  Zhao Cen felt that the power in Sishui Pass was strong enough, and with the help of Hua Xiong and Li Su, it would not matter if he could not go back.  In the previous battle, Sun Jian commanded his troops to focus on attacking Zhao Cen, which also caused Zhao Cen's troops to pay a heavy price.  Among the thousands of men, more than 300 were killed on the spot, and the remaining 600 or so were all injured.

    Seeing Hua Xiong and Li Su evacuate, Zhao Cen sneered, "Send the order, the time for revenge has come, behead all these prisoners to comfort the heroic spirits!"

    Hearing his order, Zhao Cen's soldiers screamed and rushed towards the prisoners with weapons in hand.  There were also some smart guys who quietly went to the baggage train while the officer was not paying attention.  You go out to fight for money and food. If you don¡¯t secretly make some extra money now, when will you be able to make a fortune!

    Zhao Cen personally led the men to rush towards the prisoners, and the troops became even more chaotic.  The sounds of slashing and begging for mercy resounded throughout the battlefield!

    Under the cover of this chaotic sound, Cao Ang and Bao Zhong's troops quietly began to surround the entire battlefield.  By the time Zhao Cen realized there was a problem, his soldiers were already surrounded by Cao Ang and Bao Zhong!

    Zhao Cen looked at the dazzling swords and guns around him, and then looked at the blood of Jiangdong Army soldiers splattered all over his body, and smiled miserably.  Even in the heyday of the army, it could not withstand the siege of several times the number of soldiers and horses, not to mention that the soldiers are now all wounded and have no losses.?Where is the establishment!

    Zhao Cen shouted loudly: "I am Zhao Cen, the deputy general of Sishui Pass. Who dares to fight to the death with me?!"

    Cao Ang ignored him and just shouted: "Arrow!"

    An inventory later revealed that Zhao Cen and his 627 men were all shot to death!
