306 Yuan Shao died

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

As soon as the army led by Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong retreated, the soldiers on the front line were immediately deeply frightened.

The soldiers with very eyesight turned their heads to look into the distance, but saw the smoke and dust billowing in the northwest, and countless cavalry drove out of the dust and sand that covered the sky and the sun, all of them in orange-red military uniforms, which were actually enemy troops.

At this time, Yuan Shao, who was in the position of the Chinese army, also began to retreat in order to avoid the edge of Tai Shici and Xu Huang. I don't know if it's a coincidence or what's wrong, the handsome flag carried by the standard-bearer who has been following Yuan Shao suddenly broke, the handsome flag fell to the ground, and Yuan Shao, who was shuttling in the crowd, soon disappeared without a trace, which immediately attracted a burst of suspicion from the front-line soldiers.

Could it be that they were abandoned like this?

The frontline was fierce, Xu Chu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Gan Ning, LΓΌ Meng and others were struggling to kill the enemy, and the Yuan army could not resist and retreated.

Zhao Yunzheng led the chain of iron ropes to slowly detour from the flank, and when he saw Yuan Shao's handsome banner falling, he immediately shouted loudly: "Yuan Shao was killed by an arrow!" Yuan's army is defeated! Yuan's army was defeated......"

For a while, Zhao Yun's shout, like a huge stone, fell directly on the calm surface of the lake, which immediately stirred up a thousand waves, Yuan Shao was killed by an arrow, and the news of the defeat of the Yuan army quickly spread in front of the two armies.

When Zhang Yan's army heard this news, they were all in high spirits, their morale doubled, and the soldiers attacked more fiercely.

After the soldiers of the Yuan army heard this, they contacted Tai Shici and Xu Huang's sneak attack behind their backs, the fall of Shuai Qi, and the retreat of Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong and others without a fight. Yuan Shao's Chinese army, which had disappeared without a trace, had disappeared into the crowd. It's all connected. It seemed that it was really like that, and many soldiers listened to the rumors almost with unwavering conviction.

As soon as the commander died, the soldiers immediately fell into a leaderless state, although there was no sound of Ming Jin retreating, but the soldiers who fought fiercely on the front line did not want to die here, they all retreated, and retreated one after another.

The army was defeated, and the army behind retreated. The front was also affected, and everyone scrambled to retreat back, stepping on the bridge built with wooden planks, and retreating sharply to the north of the deep ditch dug by Yuan's army.

Zhang Yan, who was watching the battle from afar on the city tower, saw the change in the situation of this war, and he was excited in his heart at this time, he never thought that the victory of this war would come so easily, just because of Yuan Shao's inadvertent move.

"Pass the order, and the whole army will pursue!" Zhang Yan couldn't suppress the joy in his heart. Hurriedly said to the standard-bearer beside him.

The flag bearer waved the big flag in his hand and waved the flag. Let all the armies pursue Yuan's army with all their might.

At this time, Zhang Yan turned around and walked towards the bottom of the city tower, and said to Jia Xu, who was still standing on the city tower, as he walked: "Military advisor, this place will be handed over to you!" ”

After finishing speaking, he went down to the city tower, and rushed out of Xiancheng with a team of Zuihou who stayed in Xiancheng, his descendants, and the guards of the army.

Zhang Yan jumped on the back of the dark cloud snow horse, and with an order, he rushed out in the lead, and the army behind him followed closely, and the fish ran out of the city, putting Zuihou into the battlefield to defend Liliang.

As soon as the guards left, Xiancheng was immediately empty, there were only more than 100 people in the city, most of them were civilian officials like Jia Xu, no different from the empty city, in case the enemy attacked, they couldn't resist at all, and they could only be captured.

However, the enemy army only cares about fleeing for their lives, where is the Xiancheng City?

Among the Yuan army, Yuan Shao was the most annoyed, he led the Chinese army to retreat more than a mile, and before he could gain a firm foothold, he saw that the front-line soldiers had completely collapsed, and they rushed to retreat.

Yuan Shao hurriedly sent people to send an order, wanting to stop the retreating army, but the herald could not stop the retreating torrent at all, and still learned the reason for the collapse of the front-line army from the mouths of Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong.

The herald hurriedly returned to Yuan Shao's side and informed Yuan Shao that the news of Yuan Shao's death by an arrow spread wildly in the front-line army, and everyone saw that the handsome flag had fallen, and mistakenly thought it was true, and the enemy's offensive was too fierce, so that the whole line collapsed.

After Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, and asked the herald to give the order again, so that Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong led the army to block the retreating army, and said that he was alive, who dared to take half a step back, and he would not be forgiven!

The herald left, Yuan Shao looked around, and suddenly saw a tall earth stalk not far away, and immediately rushed to the high earth stalk with the guards, thinking that as long as he appeared in front of the army, he would be able to penetrate all rumors.

A moment later, Yuan Shao led the army to climb the tall earth stalk, and let people wave the military flag on the earth stalk, wanting to warn the whole army and prove that he was still alive.

As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Although Yuan Shao was exposed to the public in full view of the whole army to warn the whole army and refute the rumors that he was not dead, he also exposed himself to the enemy's attack target at the same time, which immediately made him the target of the public.

Tai Shi Ci and Xu Huang, who were killed from the northwest, were worried that they couldn't find where Yuan Shao was, but as soon as Yuan Shao climbed the high slope, he immediately attracted the attention of these two fierce tigers, and the two of them suddenly felt that their eyes lit up, and without saying a word, they rushed towards the terrier with the elite cavalry.

"Lord, the enemy army is coming, get out of here quickly, if it's too late, you won't be able to leave!" The soldiers saw Tai Shici and Xu Huang rushing towards here, and hurriedly said to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao frowned tightly and said sharply: "Send someone to resist for a while, I want to stand here and let the whole army know that I am not dead!" When they see me, they will continue to fight the enemy! ”

As a result, the 2,000 personal cavalry surrounding Yuan Shao, 1,500 went to resist Tai Shici and Xu Huang, and the rest stayed by Yuan Shao's side to guard.

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong received Yuan Shao's order, stopped on the spot, turned back, lined up, and told the soldiers who retreated from the front line that Yuan Shao was not dead, let them continue to fight, and whoever dared to take half a step back would be immediately killed.

The soldiers who rushed to the front stopped one after another, and saw Yuan Shao appear at the highest point, with golden helmets and golden armor, under the reflection of the sunset. Glittering. Except for their lords. Who else could there be?

However, the defeat of the army was like a mountain, the defeat of the Yuan army was decided, and it was irretrievable, and the soldiers who rushed to the front just stopped, and they were rushed to the ground by the soldiers who rushed behind, but they were trampled by the soldiers behind the flesh and blood.

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong followed Yuan Shao's military orders and ordered the soldiers to raise the butcher knives in their hands. Kill the retreating soldiers.

Who knows, this move did not stop the retreating soldiers, but aroused the anger of the soldiers, and they even began to kill each other.

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong were unwilling to lose their troops and lose their generals, seeing that the defeat was decided, it was difficult to save the situation, so they simply led the army to retreat.

Yuan Shao would never have dreamed that he would have hundreds of thousands of troops and would fall into such a dangerous place. At this moment, he suddenly regretted it. regretted that he didn't listen to Tian Feng's words, so that he caused today's defeat.

Yuan Shao stood on the high ridge. Seeing it clearly, seeing that the situation could no longer be cleaned up, he sighed heavily, and wanted to retreat with the guards.

At this time, Tai Shici and Xu Huang were leading the army to fight with Yuan Shao's personal cavalry, seeing that Yuan Shao wanted to escape, they were anxious, and both of them took out their bows and arrows together, only to hear two string sounds, "whoosh, whoosh" two arrows, one left and one right, shot at Yuan Shao, who turned the horse's head and was about to go down the high slope.

"Poof! Burst! ”

Yuan Shao, who was unsuspected, was immediately shot by these two arrows, which hit Yuan Shao's neck almost at the same moment, and both were pierced through the throat with one arrow.

Yuan Shao didn't even have time to scream, so he immediately fell from the horse and fell to the ground, convulsed a few times, and then died.

Poor generation of male masters, just die!

This scene was seen by many soldiers of the Yuan army, if the previous rumors in the army that Yuan Shao was killed by an arrow was a rumor, then this time, Yuan Shao's death by an arrow really can't be true, and the soldiers of Yuan Jun suddenly fell into a panic, and retreated even faster.

Tai Shici and Xu Huang shot Yuan Shao, which immediately lifted the whole army, and Yuan Shao's relatives were all panicked, all lost their fighting spirit, and retreated one after another, leaving Yuan Shao's body on that high ridge.

Tai Shi Ci and Xu Huang didn't chase after them, they immediately rode their horses and galloped, rushed directly to the high ridge, and before they could restrain the horses, they jumped off the horses one after another, stood on the left and right sides of Yuan Shao's corpse, and invariably pulled out the saber in their waists, and were about to cut off Yuan Shao's head with a swing of the knife.

Who knows, before the double knives hit Yuan Shao's head, they collided together, making a "zheng" buzz.

At this time, Tai Shici and Xu Huang noticed that there was actually another person beside them, their blood-red eyes widened, like copper bells, and when they saw the other party holding a steel knife, they all shouted from their throats: "What are you doing?" ”

When the two of them shouted together, they were a little annoyed when they heard each other drinking and asking what they were doing.

Tai Shi Ci pushed Xu Huang away, pointed to Yuan Shao's corpse and said, "I shot him first, and his head should belong to me!" ”

Xu Huang took a step forward and said to Tai Shici: "He also has an arrow shot by me in his neck, obviously I shot him first, and you shot it later, this head should belong to me!" ”

"To me!"

"It should be mine!"

The two tiger generals stared at each other, swords rattling beside Yuan Shao's corpse, not giving an inch, both regarded each other as a thorn in their eyes, their eyes were full of great anger, and their right hands also held the handle of the knife tightly, as if they had the meaning of a contest.

At this moment, Zhao Yun, who was wearing heavy armor, rode up the high slope, saw Tai Shici and Xu Huang were eyeing each other, and then looked at Yuan Shao's body lying in a pool of blood, but saw that Yuan Shao had two arrows stuck in his neck, one left and one right, both of which were masterpieces of an arrow piercing the throat.

Needless to say, Zhao Yun already knew why Tai Shici and Xu Huang were so hostile. He turned over and dismounted, and said loudly: "You don't have to fight, Yuan Shao's body is temporarily under my care, and in front of the lord, he has his own opinion." Now that the Yuan army is defeated, it is necessary to rely on the two generals to lead the army to pursue, so don't hurt the harmony of the two generals because of this incident. ”

When Tai Shici and Xu Huang heard Zhao Yun say this, they unwillingly glanced at Yuan Shao's corpse on the ground, and then they all snorted coldly, jumped on the back of the war horse, turned the horse's head at the same time, went down the high slope, and led their subordinates to chase after the retreating Yuan army, wanting to get more credit.

Zhao Yun saw that Yuan Shao was dead and his revenge was avenged, and he finally had some comfort in his heart, and he was wearing heavy armor and leading a chain of iron chain horse formations, such heavy cavalry, if he pursued the enemy, he would definitely not work. He simply took the soldiers to stand next to Yuan Shao's corpse, waiting for the good news of the rest of the generals. (To be continued......)
