210 Zhang Liao Xianwei
Tai Shi Ci ordered all the cavalry to stop where they were to rest, and at this time the night had already fallen, and the night sky was covered with dark clouds, covering the entire moon, and the earth was pitch black.
When the soldiers came out, they all carried dry food, and when it was dark, and the people were tired and hungry, they took water bladders for themselves, ate dry food, and drank a few sips of water, and as for the horses, they put them into the grass by the roadside to graze.
After a short rest, almost half an hour, Tai Shi Ci ordered the soldiers to turn over their horses again and continue to advance towards Jinyang City.
Out of caution, Tai Shi Ci deliberately sent several scouts to Jinyang City to inquire about the news one step ahead of them.
In an unnamed mountain more than 30 miles south of Jinyang City, Cao Cao has led his army to ambush here for a long time, and this is the only way to Jinyang.
After his death in the evening, Cao Cao arrived here with his army, and after surveying the terrain, he had all his soldiers ambushed in the mountains on both sides of the road.
The mountain is not very high, but the road is lined with dense bushes and grasses, making it the best place for an ambush.
At this time, the scouts sent by Tai Shi Ci galloped over the official road, and in the grass on both sides of the road, Cao Cao could see it clearly, and he felt that Tai Shi Ci's army was not far from here.
Sure enough, about a moment later, there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves on the dark official road, one after another, and there should be thousands of cavalry.
Cao Cao then prepared his troops and, after hearing his orders, launched an attack on them.
In the night sky, the cold moon finally broke through the dark clouds and sprinkled his bright light on the earth.
Reflecting the moonlight, Cao Jun could vaguely see it. Tai Shi Ci rode a fast horse. Rush to the front of the line. Behind him were hundreds of cavalry, galloping across the official road.
When Tai Shici and the others were almost halfway through, Cao Cao immediately ordered: "Release the arrow!" ”
With Cao Cao's shout, countless arrows were shot on both sides of the road, and on both sides of the long official road, ambushes appeared.
At the same time, Dian Wei held a pair of large iron halberds and rode a tall horse. Behind him, five hundred cavalry followed, directly blocking Tai Shici's way.
"Kill!"
On the hillsides on both sides of the road, the Hun cavalry swarmed up, condescending, Xiangxia dived, and the Cao soldiers used bows and arrows to cooperate with the actions of the Hun cavalry.
Behind Tai Shi Ci's army, Xiahou Yuan led five hundred cavalry to block the road, blocking all of Tai Shi Ci's army in this long and narrow official road that lasted for several miles.
"Whoosh ......"
The arrows kept coming, and Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others were caught off guard, they didn't expect Cao Cao not to attack Jinyang City. But an ambush was set up here.
Fortunately, Tai Shici's subordinates have undergone strict training and are very disciplined. Even in the event of such an attack, they will not become panicked, and the army will be divided into hundreds, and the centurions will be responsible for directing the battle.
In the face of the Hun cavalry that suddenly rushed over, Tai Shi Ci and the others did not have the slightest fear, but met the battle angrily, while Tai Shi Ci held a spear, rode forward, and ran directly towards Dian Wei, who was killed.
The two horses intersected, the spears and halberds were raised, and Tai Shici and Dian Wei quickly became entangled together.
Zhang Liao was in the middle of the team, commanding the cavalry to fight with the Hun cavalry, and also to meet the Xiahou Dun who rushed over.
And Gao Shun, who was located on the side of the team, was also attacked fiercely by Xiahou Yuan, even the cavalry around him were all elite, but when he suddenly suffered such a blow, he still died out of defenselessness.
For a time, the melee began, and Cao Cao surrounded Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others with 5,000 Hun cavalry, 1,000 headquarters cavalry, and 1,000 infantry.
After a while, Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun were successfully separated, and then concentrated their superior forces to break them one by one.
The three of them were all hit hard, and the cavalry around them kept falling, but seeing that the Cao army was getting thicker and thicker, the hearts of the three of them muttered, where did this Cao Cao get so many troops?
Zhang Liao was still sharp-eyed, and saw that there were Huns on the side participating in the war, so he asked people to inform Tai Shici and Gao Shun, asking them not to fall in love with the war and withdraw the army.
At this moment, Tai Shi Ci has been entangled by Dian Wei, no matter how he rushes left and right, he can't get rid of Dian Wei at all, and he can't defeat him. Dian Wei was like a dog skin plaster, tightly attached to Tai Shici's body.
Cao Cao, under the protection of his own soldiers, stood on the high post and looked out, but when he saw that he had already divided Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun into three sections, and surrounded them, not to mention how happy he was, he shouted loudly: "Kill!" Kill me! Kill him without leaving a piece of armor! ”
Zhang Liao was fighting with Xiahoudun, and suddenly heard Cao Cao's shout, so he looked up, but saw Cao Cao riding a war horse, standing on a high post, and the soldiers behind him were still playing a big banner, and the banner was hunting and waving in the wind.
He was in a hurry, and with a flick of his wrist, his marksmanship suddenly became swift, and he stabbed several shots at Xiahoudun in a row.
Xiahoudun hurriedly blocked it, but it didn't matter if he blocked it, Zhang Liao actually left him and rushed towards the high post where Cao Cao was.
Zhang Liao single-handedly rushed towards Cao Cao's location, and the spear killed more than ten soldiers one after another, and with a little effort, he squeezed into the crowd of Cao's soldiers, and gradually distanced himself from Xiahoudun.
Cao Bing saw Zhang Liao rushing over, and kept shooting arrows, all of which were pushed away by Zhang Liao with a spear, not only that, but even Cao Bing, who came to resist, was stabbed to death by him.
In just a moment, Zhang Liao fought his way out of a bloody way, getting closer and closer to Cao Cao.
Seeing this, Cao Cao on the high post immediately asked people to go to stop him, but they were all stabbed to death by Zhang Liao with a gun, he saw that Zhang Liao was menacing, unstoppable, and there was no general around him, if he blindly stood here, in case he was rushed up by Zhang Liao, he would definitely be stabbed to death by Zhang Liao.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao immediately turned his horse's head and retreated sharply.
Zhang Liao saw that Cao Cao was about to escape, and hurriedly shouted: "Cao thief Hugh away, eat me a shot!" ”
Cao Cao's personal soldiers came to resist one after another, but they were either stabbed to death by Zhang Liao or swept off their horses. And Zhang Liao is as if he has entered a no-man's land.
Only for a moment. Zhang Liao rode his horse and climbed the high post. After killing more than a dozen pro-soldiers one after another, he went to look for Cao Cao, but he disappeared.
Zhang Liao looked back, but saw that the Cao army and the Huns had divided their side into three sections, and Tai Shici in front was quite difficult, he not only had to fight fiercely with Dian Wei, but also had to guard against the Huns, and there were only more than 100 cavalry left around him.
As soon as I saw this. Zhang Liao didn't say a word, and immediately rode his horse to catch up with Cao Jun's standard-bearer, and with a shot in his hand, he stabbed the standard-bearer to death, took down Cao Jun's handsome banner, and beheaded a person by the way. He carried Cao Jun's handsome flag, held the human head in his hand, climbed to a high place, held it high above his head, and shouted loudly: "Cao Cao has been killed by me." Why don't you surrender quickly? ”
The sound is like thunder, rolling into the ears. When all the soldiers of the Cao army heard this shout, they all turned their heads to look at the high post.
There was no trace of Cao Cao on the high post, corpses were everywhere, and Zhang Liao was carrying a bloody human head in his hand, and he was carrying a handsome flag on his shoulder.
Because the night is difficult to distinguish and the human head is unrecognizable, even if there is moonlight, it is impossible to confirm whether it is Cao Cao's.
Many Cao soldiers suddenly panicked, not knowing whether what Zhang Liao said was true or not, but after a long while, they still did not see Cao Cao appear, and they were even more suspicious in their hearts.
"Ate an arrow!" Xiahou drew his bow and arrows, shouted, and shot the arrow directly at Zhang Liao.
When Zhang Liao saw the arrow flying, he lifted the head in his hand and blocked it directly in front of him, and the arrow hit the head with a pop.
He immediately dropped his head, swung his sword to cut off the handsome banner, and swooped down the hillside to go to the front army to save Tai Shici.
Although it is still unclear whether Cao Cao is dead or alive, Zhang Yan's army took it seriously, and they all shook their spirits, and their morale suddenly rose, and they began to effectively counterattack.
Gao Shun was in the rear army, and he concentrated all his forces, and then launched an attack together, directly attacking Xiahou Yuan, forcing Xiahou Yuan to retreat again and again!
Zhang Liao galloped down, single-handedly, relying on his personal bravery, killing the enemy crying father and calling mother, his whole body was stained with blood, the whole person was like a soaked in a pool of blood, under the reflection of the cold moonlight, like a demon from hell.
"Poof!"
Zhang Liao picked up a shot in his hand, and stabbed to death a Hun who was blocking the front, and then turned his spear and swept several Huns off his horse, not wanting to just bump into the Huns' Zuo Xian Wang to be humiliated, he shouted loudly: "Go to humble!" My lord is very merciful and let you go back to the Xiongnu, but you led your subordinates to commit rebellion with Cao Cao, what is the reason? ”
I don't know how to answer, and I can't get a fart out of my farts for a long time.
Zhang Liao roared: "Quickly lead your subordinates to withdraw, otherwise my lord will lead 100,000 elite soldiers to destroy your Huns!" ”
The despicable and disgraced hurriedly rode his horse to the side, and soon came to Hu Chuquan's side, whispered a few words to Hu Chuquan, and Hu Chuquan ordered to retreat.
The Hun cavalry took the initiative to lead the army to retreat on the grounds that Cao Cao was dead, and as soon as they retreated, Zhang Liao had a chance to take advantage of it, and rushed directly to the front, seeing that Tai Shi Ci was surrounded by Dian Wei in the heart of Kan, he waved his spear, and stabbed the Cao army cavalry of the book name Cao Jun one after another, and directly entered the encirclement from behind, waving the spear violently, and stabbed towards Dian Wei's vital point, and at the same time shouted to Tai Shi Ci: "General go quickly!" ”
"You go first!" Tai Shici did not retreat at all, and shouted to the soldiers behind him, and he raised his gun and fought against Zhang Liao.
The Hun cavalry retreated very regularly, and the congested mountain roads suddenly became open, Tai Shici's personal soldiers retreated one after another, and the army came closer together, twisted into a rope, and continued to fight with Cao's army here.
"General, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, retreat quickly!" Zhang Liao said to Tai Shi Ci.
Tai Shi Ci said: "Our army has suffered such a heavy blow, and they must be repaid with blood!" ”
Zhang Liao said: "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, the preservation of strength is the most important, the Cao army is waiting for work, and there are Huns to help, I just drank back the Hun cavalry, once the Huns found out that Cao Cao was not dead, and suddenly came to their senses, and then surrounded us, we will be difficult to break through!" ”
With a hint of hatred, Tai Shi Ci said unwillingly: "Pass the order, the whole army retreats!" (To be continued......)
