The 64th chapter of Ma Tai Shou led the crowd to escape, Jia Wen and a few words killed people.

  Gao Shun, who had been feeling somewhat apprehensive in his heart, saw Lü Bu leading the Eight Robbers galloping towards him and immediately gave the order: "Launch a full-speed attack!"

  Time seems to have been frozen in this moment, without slaughter, without clamor, only the faint starry sky formed by the cold light reflected from the icy weapons.

  After the meeting with He Jin, Lü Bu had ten fierce generals, while Ma Teng's side had already killed ten fierce generals. Seeing this situation, they immediately gathered together, and a great battle between the ten fierce generals and the ten tiger generals was about to begin!

  These twenty generals were almost the core figures of both armies, and this battle directly affected whether Dong Zhuo's army could thoroughly win a great victory, and also affected whether the vassal lords' army could survive.

  War! No other choice but this!

  Many soldiers saw this rare scene and all of them held their breath in unison.

  "The groom shouted loudly: 'Rebellious thief! Don't you dare surrender?'"

  Lü Bu pointed with his halberd and said, "A desperate beast's struggle is nothing to be feared! All of you listen to my orders, today we must behead this horseman, otherwise bring your heads to see me!"

  Having said that, Lü Bu led the nine generals to kill them. Ma Chao pointed his long spear and said: "Brothers, this is a battle of life and death, I am willing to die with you all to destroy Lü Bu!"

  When he finished speaking, he also led nine great generals to kill them!

  Twenty generals clashed in battle, immediately becoming the most eye-catching place in this campaign.

  Ma Chao, Guan Yu and Li Dian fought against Lü Bu, while Zhang Fei fought alone against Song Xian and Hou Cheng, and the other generals were engaged in one-on-one battles.

  Lü Bu and Ma Chao, Guan Yu, Li Dian were completely at a disadvantage after just a few rounds of fighting! At this time, Zhang Fei, Sun Quan and others had already beaten Lü Bu's several generals to the point where they were fleeing in all directions, it was clear that they were not on the same level!

  Lü Bu indeed knew what was timely and shouted loudly: "Withdraw!"

  The multitude of generals listened to the order and hastily retreated. Zhang Fei, Sun Quan, and others wanted to go after them in pursuit, but Dong Zhuo had already led his troops to come over like a swarm of bees.

  Seeing this, the groom hastily said: "This place is not suitable for a long stay, let's fight and retreat!"

  Dong Zhuo's cavalry was not to be underestimated, otherwise he would not have been able to easily occupy Luoyang. As Dong Zhuo's army pursued them, the soldiers beside Ma Fu fell one by one.

  Gongsun Zan, who had been covering the retreat of the various lords and marquises for a stretch of road, now turned back again. He still divided his troops into left and right wings, using bows and arrows to kill in response.

  Inspired by Gongsun Zan's tactics, Ma Chao suddenly said to him: "I and the nine generals will guard the central route, you take your troops to cover our flanks!"

  Gongsun Zan nodded in agreement, and Ma Chao led the charge with his generals. With the help of these divine archers, their attack was even more ferocious, to the point where Dong Zhuo's army did not dare to advance.

  Dong Zhuo saw this and immediately issued orders: anyone who did not advance would be killed without pardon!

  Dong Zhuo's soldiers bit their teeth and struggled forward after hearing such an order, but the pace of their advance was still very slow.

  Lü Bu saw that the cavalry's archery was so accurate, and immediately ordered Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, destroy those two wings of cavalry!"

  Zhang Liao listened to the order and immediately strung his bow and shot arrows, several cold arrows flew out in succession, knocking down several cavalrymen one after another.

  After a brief test of his mettle, Lü Bu immediately assembled his archers and crossbowmen to form up against Gongsun Zan's cavalry!

  Seeing the situation was unfavorable, the groom hastily ordered a retreat!

  After Lü Bu's archers arrived, they had already retreated a great distance. Dong Zhuo immediately ordered a full pursuit.

  Ma Fu led his troops in a fighting retreat, retreating thirty miles away, when suddenly a rapid current blocked their path.

  Cao Hong was shocked and exclaimed: "Is it not that Heaven wants to destroy us?"

  The groom angrily said: "Don't talk like that! Follow me!"

  Looking at the dense army behind him, Ma Fu knew that it was impossible to kill his way back. Now the only thing he could do was to follow this river upstream until he found a way to escape!

  But what was even more disappointing for them was that not only did they fail to find a way out, but Dong Zhuo's elite cavalry had already quickly surrounded them.

  "Come on, grandma! The worst that can happen is death. Today I, Zhang Fei, will fight them to the end!" With that, Zhang Fei raised his 12-foot-long spear, rolled up his sleeves, and assumed a desperate fighting stance!

  Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard, seeming very calm, but the groom could sense that at this moment he had a strong desire to break through in addition to his sharp murderous aura.

  The groom saw the generals in a state of panic and hastily said, "Brothers, until the last moment, we absolutely cannot give up! Even if it's war, we must fight to the point of exhaustion, not being able to fight anymore is not an option! I ask you, what about our great Han dynasty, where did this talk of giving up come from?

  "War!" The generals responded one after another.

  But the passion of the generals was suddenly broken by a cold laugh! That cold laughter was really strange, and almost all the generals thought that the voice came out of the rapid flow.

  However, in the blink of an eye, a masked man appeared driving a small boat, and behind that small boat were three more boats tied together, appearing before the eyes of the crowd.

  Ma Fu looked carefully and felt that the figure was so familiar. He directly associated it with the mysterious man who had fought him on the arena in Xiliang.

  The man pushed the boat ashore and burst out laughing loudly. Then he said, "There are two paths, to fight or to retreat, you choose!"

  The groom turned his head and saw that Dong Zhuo's army was already near at hand. If they didn't leave now, it would be almost impossible for them to escape later.

  Seeing the urgency of the situation, the groom couldn't care about so much anymore and immediately let the generals board the light boat first. He himself was leading Guan Yu to cover the rear. What the groom didn't expect was that the mysterious man actually took the lead in pulling the groom's blood steed onto the light boat and set off first.

  Ma Chao, free from worry, marched on foot to battle the multitude of armies. Guan Yu, wielding his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, charged towards the enemy army. The two men clashed left and right amidst the dark, dense army, and soon blood stained the rapids, while the riverbank became an open-air tomb.

  Lü Bu saw that they wanted to escape, and immediately led the army to kill them. Ma Chao and Guan Yu saw that the other generals had already boarded the ship, and did not dare to fight, hurriedly wading through the water towards the light boat in the rapid current.

  Not far away, Lv Bu gave a loud order, and arrows rained down on them. The groom, Guan Yu, and others hurriedly used their weapons to block the attack.

  Zhang Fei and Li Dian, who were already far away from the shore, saw this scene and without saying a word, directly jumped into the water. One of them swam to the side of the light boat, while the other two held their breath underwater and pulled the light boat forward. After Ma Chao and Guan Yu got on board, they simply jumped onto the light boat and rowed together with all their might.

  As it was going with the wind and water, the light boat's speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had already arrived at Jiangxin. Lü Bu saw this scene and was so angry that he gnashed his teeth, and immediately ordered to continue pursuing the remaining fleeing vassal troops.

  After Ma Fu crossed the river, he only saw blood rushing, and that mysterious man had already disappeared without a trace.

  "Indeed a chivalrous gentleman, after saving us he quietly left without a sound."

  Ma Fu said: "Don't think about these things for now, this place is not suitable for a long stay, let's find Yuan Meng and the others first!"

  Because only the groom had a horse, he rode ahead to where the feudal lords' army was camped. However, when he arrived, he found that the camp was already in disarray and there were many corpses.

  "Could it be that even this camp has been raided by them?" Ma Fu was shocked, and at this moment he was more concerned about the safety of Yunying, Diao Chan and others.

  Just as he was searching around the camp, a person poking his head out of the withered grass layer in the distance caught the groom's attention. The groom jumped down and quickly ran to the man's side, grabbing his neck and saying: "Who are you? Hurry up and confess, or I'll take your life!"

  "That man said with great difficulty: 'Marshal Ma, let go quickly, I am Yuan Meng's master...'"

  Upon hearing this, the groom hastily let go, and the man only spoke after panting heavily for a while: "Master Yuan ordered me to wait here for your arrival, Generals, and then tell you to head straight to Suān Zǎo!"

  Ma Fu said: "Then hurry back and report the news, the generals will be safe and sound, I'll go to meet them now, and we'll all go to Suantao together later!"

  Having said that, the soldier left first, and Ma Fu rode his horse along the original road to find the generals. After finding them, a group of people rushed straight to Suān zǎo.

  Zhang Yang, Han Fu, Kong Rong, Yuan Yi, Zhang Chao and Zhang Miao, who were garrisoned at the Xingyang Pass, received a swift horse report that the alliance leader had suffered a great defeat at the Tiger Trap Pass. They hastily raised their troops to retreat in the direction of Suanzao.

  Li Cui and Guo Si knew that the various lords had retreated overnight, but with Dong Zhuo's military order in place, they did not dare to send troops to pursue them.

  Just as Zhang Yang and other princes had just left, Jia Xu, who had been recuperating from illness at home, arrived at the Pass of Xingyang overnight. As soon as he heard Li Jue and Guo Si describe the current situation, he immediately advised: "If we don't pursue now, when will we?"

  Li Su and Guo Si were intimidated by Dong Zhuo's military order, so they did not dare to pursue, but only drank wine in the hall.

  Before long, the soldiers sent by Dong Zhuo spread the word: "Dong Gong orders General Li and General Guo to immediately lead all troops from Ziwu Pass to attack the vassals' army in front of the pass!"

  Li Jue and Guo Si received the order, immediately gathered their troops, and prepared to leave the pass. Jia Xu hastily stopped them, saying: "It's too late! They've already fled in all directions!"

  Li Cui and Guo Si did not believe it, and led a light cavalry in a frantic pursuit for dozens of miles, but they didn't even see the shadow of any vassal army.

  After returning to Zishui Pass, Li Cui finally sincerely said to Jia Xu: "If we hadn't listened to the gentleman's words, we would have missed a great opportunity!"

  Jia Xun sighed and said, "It is often said that when a general is in the field, there are orders that cannot be obeyed. The reason why Dong Zhuo did not allow you two generals to send troops earlier was because the Guandu Pass is the gate of the Tiger Trap Pass. If the Guandu Pass falls, it will be difficult to defend the Tiger Trap Pass. According to what you said, the vassal lords' army in front of the pass has not launched any attacks recently, and this time they fled hastily at night. It must be that the vassal lords' army that attacked the Tiger Trap Pass was defeated, and you two did not pursue them due to military orders, which is no different from raising a tiger as a threat! By the time Dong Zhuo's order arrives, it will be too late!"

  Li Cui and Guo Si regretted their decision and hastily asked Jia Xu if there was a way to make amends.

  Jia Xu said, "Since the siege of Bomaoguan was uneventful and the allied forces retreated, you two can be considered to have done nothing wrong. Just tell Dong Cheng that the allied forces at the pass heard rumors first, and the people sent by Dong Cheng were delayed on the road."

  "But the messenger has already left!" Li Cui exclaimed anxiously.

  Guo Zhan coldly smiled and said: "This general already knows your intention, sir!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he hastily ordered his subordinates to send a general to pursue them. Before long, Li Cui and Guo Si breathed a sigh of relief only after they saw the head of the messenger...
