Chapter 241 Zhang Liao: Bah! What a bullshit number one general!
The generals' eyes lit up and they were about to ask for orders.
A gleam of light flashed in Cao Bao's eyes as he was not yet firmly on his feet. He knew how terrifying Ji Ling was and that the defense of Yamaguchi would not last long.
He originally wanted to tell Tao Qian the truth and evacuate first, but the flattery just now made it impossible for him to tell the truth. Now that his retreat has been cut off and he only has more than a hundred people, this is obviously a credit that he has already gained.
Secondly, if he is not in the central army, he does not have to face Ji Ling. He was not present when the mountain pass was broken, so it is naturally not his fault. When Ji Ling comes, he can also help Tao Qian break out of the siege and withdraw to Xuzhou. This deal is not a loss.
Thinking of this, Cao Bao was the first to clasp his fists and said, "I am willing to kill these daring traitors for the governor."
Tao Qian was stunned: "General Cao, isn't this a waste of talent?"
“Only a hundred people”
Cao Bao shook his head and said calmly: "Even if a lion fights a rabbit, it must go all out."
"Although the fierce battle at the mountain pass was fierce, these more than a hundred cavalrymen were clearly the enemy's killer move. The rear army was Cao Cao's. If they were to scatter, it would lead to the collapse of the central army, and no matter how many people there were, they would have no choice but to surrender."
"We have no worries about our retreat. We can advance or retreat. This is what makes us invincible."
Cao Bao's words made sense. Tao Qian hesitated for only a moment before nodding his head. "General Cao Bao, resolve the battle quickly. The front army still needs you to lead the army. Otherwise, if the mountain pass is breached, we will have no chance of turning defeat into victory."
Cao Bao nodded heavily, then gathered thousands of elite soldiers and attacked the rear army.
As for the rear army, the 30,000 men given by Cao Cao were originally a motley crowd.
He had already picked out all the elite soldiers and generals, so the more than one hundred people led by Zhang Liao blended into the empty space in the rear army.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
Zhang Liao shouted loudly, and the Fiery Sword in his hand kept dancing. The red sword energy condensed by the Fiery Sword Technique spread out in all directions, emitting a terrifying aura.
"Ahhh!!"
Dozens of soldiers only felt a red light rushing into their bodies before their eyes. Their internal organs lost their vitality at this moment, their eyes went black, and their bodies flew backwards.
More than a hundred elite soldiers surrounded Zhang Liao, like a sharp blade piercing into the central army. Wherever they went, there were corpses and blood everywhere.
In just a quarter of an hour, the rear army was in chaos, and the defeated soldiers who had no will to fight fled to the mountains on both sides, leaving a wide road.
"Charge into the central army and capture Tao Qian alive."
"go!"
Zhang Liao did not chase after him, but pointed his flaming sword and launched another charge.
After another quarter of an hour of fighting, the Yangzhou soldiers began to disintegrate. Cao Bao, who came to support from the general's flag, finally appeared. Looking at the dozens of enemies in front of him, Cao Bao smiled broadly and raised the spear in his hand: "You traitors, you dare to come to my central army with just a few dozen people to make trouble?"
"Do you really think that I, the most powerful general in Xuzhou, am a vegetarian?"
"The most powerful general in Xuzhou?"
Zhang Liao was stunned, his eyes flashing with light. He was worried that his performance today was not perfect, but he didn't expect that the person who brought him the credit would come.
If he kills this man and captures Tao Qian alive, the credit should be his.
Zhang Liao raised his mouth and pointed his sword: "Tell me your name. I will not kill nameless people."
Cao Bao laughed: "I will never change my name, I am Cao Bao of Xuzhou!"
"Don't be an unjustly dead ghost when you go to the King of Hell."
"Brothers, kill!!"
Thousands of personal soldiers behind him laughed and rushed towards Zhang Liao.
Hundreds of people rushed forward, looking at Zhang Liao fiercely.
Zhang Liao's eyes flashed with disdain: "A raging fire spreads all over the land!!"
The flaming sword swept out, and the terrifying energy condensed into a red sword light, sweeping forward.
"Ahhhhhh!" A series of screams rang out. The hundreds of people who rushed up only felt a flash of red knife light before their eyes. Their throats hurt and blood spurted out.
His eyes opened wide, filled with fear and terror, and the next moment everything went black and he fell to the ground.
Cao Bao, who was waiting to go back to report, witnessed this scene and a flash of shock and fear appeared in his eyes. He could never have imagined that the enemy's abandoned pawn could be so terrifying.
Kill hundreds of people in one strike.
Could it be that I guessed correctly just now, and this group of more than a hundred cavalrymen are the real killer?
Thinking of this, Cao Bao felt cold sweat running down his head.
Once again he felt death approaching.
"this."
"Brothers, hold on, I'm here."
Before Cao Bao finished speaking, he saw that the personal soldiers around him had already scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing towards the mountains on both sides, completely ignoring Cao Bao's roar.
Cao Bao wanted to escape, but there was no cannon fodder in front of him to block him for a moment, so how could he have the time to run back?
His legs couldn't help but tremble, Cao Bao said: "I do."
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Liao squeezed his legs together and the warhorse under him galloped out, getting closer and closer to Cao Bao.
"Eat me with a knife!!"
Zhang Liao jumped up, and the flaming knife in his hand swung from top to bottom, splitting Huashan with a force of a thousand pounds as he smashed towards Cao Bao.
Cao Bao, who was about to surrender, suddenly became numb and subconsciously blocked the spear in his hand into the air.
"boom!!"
The sound of the golden bells colliding resounded through heaven and earth, and the terrifying sonic boom could be heard from far away.
The Yangzhou soldiers who were close to them only felt their eardrums buzzing, and the next moment their eyes went dark, and they fainted on the ground.
Cao Bao only felt an overwhelming force surging into his body. He could not hold the spear in his hand at all, and it flew away like a kite with a broken string.
"Pfft."
Cao Bao spat out a mouthful of blood. At this moment, he felt the breath of death approaching. Fear reached the extreme in his eyes. He didn't care about his face: "I am willing to return."
Before he could finish his words, the big knife in Zhang Liao's hand had already attacked.
A red knife flashed before his eyes, and Cao Bao felt a chill on his neck. The head flew high up and fell heavily to the ground.
The warhorse dragged the headless body for several feet and then circled in a daze. Cao Bao's headless body fell to the ground.
Cao Bao, the most powerful general in Xuzhou, was killed instantly with one move, without even a ripple.
The impact of this scene far exceeded the scene where Zhang Liao killed hundreds of people in one move. All the Yangzhou soldiers stood there in confusion. At this moment, they didn't know what to do.
Who can stop Zhang Liao, the god of death?
The mountain breeze blew, and the strong smell of blood drifted into Zhang Liao's nose.
Zhang Liao looked at Cao Bao's head and frowned slightly. He never expected that the so-called most powerful general in Xuzhou was so weak that he couldn't even block one of his moves.
"Pooh!"
"What the hell is the best general?"
"Vulnerable!"
"old man"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that the soldiers around him were confused and fearful. Zhang Liao's eyes lit up and he raised the flaming sword in his hand: "I will not kill unknown people with my sword. Put down your weapons and you will be spared!"
"If you pick up a weapon, you are my enemy!"
"When facing the enemy, kill without mercy!!"
The sound of killing soared into the sky, hovering in the sky for a long time without dissipating
