143 surrounded
Zhang Yan let out a hysterical cry and rushed forward with Tai Shici, Xu Chu and others.
Directly ahead, Dian Wei led hundreds of strong men to block the main road, and the crossbowmen on both sides kept shooting, and Cao Jun swept Zhang Yan and others like a raging storm.
The neighing of the horses, the screams of the soldiers, the unyielding shouts, and the swishing of the arrows flying quickly were all mixed together at this moment, and the voices of people were boiling.
Zhang Yan took the lead, Tai Shici and Xu Chu followed closely behind, and more than a thousand cavalry behind him were shot down by arrows, and before they rushed to Dian Wei, there were only eight or nine hundred cavalry left, which can be described as heavy losses.
At the same time, after Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, and Li Dian killed Lu Bu's subordinates, they also quickly came to support, and Cao's army gathered more and more, and the water surrounding Zhang Yan and others was impassable.
Zhang Yan rushed forward, paying attention to the surrounding situation, and when he saw that he was already under siege, he became more and more anxious in his heart, and he just wanted to break through a bloody road as soon as possible and leave this place.
Seeing that they were about to rush in front of Dian Wei and the others, who knew that a row of giant shield soldiers suddenly emerged, directly blocking the front of Dian Wei and the others, and with them, they were soldiers with spears, and they put their spears in the gaps of the giant shields, instantly forming a defensive wall, the purpose of which was not to let Zhang Yan rush over.
Spears are like forests, arrows are like rain, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to Zhang Yan and others, Tai Shici saw this, pulled up his bow and arrows, and shot a burst of arrows forward, one arrow after another, shot out of his hand, Cao soldiers all fell in response, and the example was not in vain.
But there are very few people who can have Tai Shi Ci's archery technique, not to mention that Cao Bing is as many as a cow's hair, one was shot to death by Tai Shi Ci, and the other was supplemented, and the road was still blocked.
Zhang Yan frowned, seeing such a scene, he could only fight hard.
He mustered up his courage and rushed directly with Tai Shici, Xu Chu and others, and when he was about to approach, he waved his spear, first swept away the spear in front of him, and with the impact of the war horse, it directly hit Cao Bing's giant shield.
"Kara!"
Zhang Yan faintly heard a crisp sound in his ears, and Cao Bing, who was holding the giant shield, suffered a violent impact, and even the shield belt fell backwards, and even the arm holding the giant shield was broken.
With a "boom", Zhang Yan suddenly rushed away a huge shield, and the war horse under the seat directly trampled on the fallen Cao Bing, spitting blood from the mouth of the Cao soldier who was directly trampled on, screaming, and dying.
Cao Bing's spearmen were taken aback when they saw Zhang Yan being the first to break away from the giant shield, and hurriedly held the spear to stab, while Zhang Yan waved the spear in his hand, struggled to block, stretched out his long arm, and directly clamped the spear under his armpit, holding the gun in one hand, and stabbing several Cao soldiers beside him one after another.
At the same time, Tai Shici, Xu Chu and others rushed over, all following Zhang Yan's approach, first using weapons to drive away the spears, and then borrowing horses to collide, directly rushing away the group of giant shield soldiers, and they were trampled under the horses' hooves, either dead or injured.
Xu Chu waved a sharp broadsword, cutting off spears one by one, and the continuous knife techniques were endless, and in the encirclement of Cao Bing, he arbitrarily harvested the heads of Cao Bing.
And Tai Shi Ci rushed left and right with a spear, stabbing many Cao soldiers to death one after another, he and Xu Chu followed closely behind Zhang Yan, and the three of them showed a zigzag, cooperating with each other, and they were stunned to kill a place of cones.
The cavalry behind Zhang Yan also showed incomparable courage at this moment, they did not have a little fear, the more they fought, the more courageous they became, eight or nine hundred people, and they were stunned to disturb more than a thousand people here.
Dian Wei, who was defending this place, saw that Zhang Yan and the others' offensive was so fierce that he couldn't bear it anymore, waved the double iron halberd in his hand, and rushed towards Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan was fighting, and suddenly saw Dian Wei coming straight to him with a vicious face, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
He had fought with Dian Wei several times, he knew Dian Wei's strength, and he also knew that he was not an opponent, at this time, seeing Dian Wei coming towards him, he did not hesitate to shout behind him: "Zhong Kang!" ”
Xu Chu was slashing, when he heard Zhang Yan's shout, he looked up and looked forward, but when he saw Dian Wei rushing over, he understood, and immediately said to Tai Shi Ci: "Protect the lord and break through, I will deal with Dian Wei!" ”
If it was left in normal times, Tai Shici would definitely compete with Xu Chu to fight with Dian Wei, but at this time, he was under siege, and he also understood the urgency of the matter, so he only nodded lightly, and rode close to Zhang Yan and fought side by side with Zhang Yan.
Xu Chu rode his horse and shouted at Dian Wei: "Dian Wei, we haven't decided the winner last time, let's compete this time!" ”
Dian Wei's target was Zhang Yan, and Cao Cao put him here to let him kill Zhang Yan. But Xu Chu's appearance destroyed his purpose, if he didn't kill Xu Chu first, he would have no chance to attack Zhang Yan at all.
Dian Wei looked around, but saw Xiahou Yuan leading the cavalry from behind the Xuzhou soldiers, Cao Hong and Li Dian also rushed over from the left and right flanks, he saw that Zhang Yan had few people, and it was impossible to break out of the encirclement, so he said to Xu Chu: "Wild man, today I will convince you of losing!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Dian Wei and Xu Chu hedged against each other, raising their knives and halberds at the same time, and they were instantly entangled together.
"My lord, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, and Li Dian have all rushed over with their crowds, if our army can't break through as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the whole army will be wiped out here. Please follow me, I will fight a bloody way for the lord! Tai Shi Ci said.
Zhang Yan nodded, gathered two hundred elite cavalry around him, and Tai Shici rushed to the front with a hundred cavalry, rushing in one direction together.
Tai Shi Ci took the lead, taking the lead, wherever the spear went, no one could stop Cao Bing, Cao Bing died, and the wounded were injured, and he directly killed a bloody road.
Zhang Yan led the cavalry to follow behind Tai Shi Ci, along the bloody road, rushing outward, seeing that he was about to break out of the encirclement, but Cao Hong led a small number of cavalry to ride horses, directly blocking Tai Shi Ci's soldiers.
Li Dian led the crossbowmen to arrive in time, and immediately commanded the crossbowmen to shoot fiercely at Zhang Yan's side, but turned a blind eye to the Cao soldiers who were sandwiched between the Xuzhou soldiers.
Cao Hong waved the big knife and trembled directly with Tai Shici, and behind Zhang Yan, Xiahou Yuan also chased after him, Zhang Yan looked left and right, seeing that Cao Bing was surrounded more and more, and his subordinates were getting fewer and fewer, he secretly thought: "Am I going to die here?" ”
Cao Cao, who was standing on the high post, saw such a scene and smiled, as long as it took another quarter of an hour, he could completely surround Zhang Yan here. At the same time, he also appreciated Xun You's strategy of killing two birds with one stone, and was ready to reward Xun You again after the victory.
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind Cao Cao, and a cavalry came from behind, led by Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao rode a war horse, took the lead, and with a hundred cavalry, he hurried towards the high post where Cao Cao was located. Behind Zhang Liao, hundreds of infantry followed.
At the same time, behind Cao Hong, there was also an enemy army, the leader of which was Gao Shun, who led only a few hundred infantry, but when he ran, he walked like a fly. Behind Gao Shun, the Xuzhou soldiers commanded by Xu Sheng followed closely, and as far as the eye could see, there were more than a thousand soldiers and horses.
Immediately afterwards, Niu Jin led the army to appear behind Li Dian.
Cao Cao didn't have time to give an order, but seeing that the cavalry led by Zhang Liao was about to rush to the high post where he was, he used all his forces to surround Zhang Yan and others, and there were no generals around to escort him, and Zhang Liao's martial arts were also witnessed by Cao Cao, although there were only 100 horsemen, but it was also difficult for him to resist.
So, Cao Cao immediately took Xun You, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu down from the high post, summoned hundreds of infantry to resist Zhang Liao, and fled in embarrassment.
Gao Shun, Xu Sheng, Niu Jin and others appeared one after another, jointly attacked the back of Cao Jun, and launched a fierce attack on Cao Jun. Cao Jun was in chaos for a while, and Zhang Yan, Tai Shici, Xu Chu and others were still fighting to the death in the encirclement, and Cao Jun was attacked by the enemy on his back and was difficult to resist for a while.
When Zhang Yan saw that his reinforcements had arrived, he was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately encouraged the soldiers to rush forward bravely to kill.
Gao Shun led the trapped camp like a sharp knife, directly inserted from the back of Cao Jun, the momentum was like a bamboo, and Cao Jun was invincible.
Cao Hong, who was fighting with Tai Shici, saw that the situation was not good, and immediately turned his horse's head and fled in embarrassment.
Tai Shici didn't chase after him, but took out his bow and arrow and shot an arrow at Cao Hong.
Cao Hong felt a fierce force coming from behind, and when he looked back, it turned out to be a feather arrow, and it was already close at hand, and it was already difficult to dodge.
At this critical moment, a personal soldier suddenly rode a horse and blocked an arrow for Cao Hong, Cao Hong was lucky to survive, rode his horse and galloped faster.
Niu Jin killed from behind Li Dian, Li Dian led all the archers, sniping with arrows, but Niu Jin and others were blocked outside, with little effect, and had no choice but to retreat.
Zhang Liao led the cavalry to break through the defense line of Cao Bing, and directly pursued Cao Cao, wanting to kill Cao Cao.
Seeing this, Xiahou Yuan hurriedly led an army to help and intercepted Zhang Liao, so Cao Cao escaped safely.
Although this ambush did not kill Zhang Yan, it also inflicted heavy losses on him, and Cao Cao ordered the withdrawal of his troops so as not to increase his losses.
When Cao Jun heard the order to withdraw his troops, he fled one after another, and Dian Wei, who was fighting with Xu Chu, did not dare to fight, so he had to flee in a hurry.
After Cao's army fled, Zhang Yan did not order the pursuit, for fear of falling into Cao Cao's ambush again.
After the group regathered, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao didn't see Lu Bu, so they asked, "Zhang Andong, where is my father-in-law?" ”
Zhang Yan hurriedly said: "We fell for Cao Cao's tricks, Brother Feng rushed too fiercely, and as a result, we were ambushed and pier......ced by Cao's army's arrows."
When Gao Shun and Zhang Liao heard this, their faces showed sad expressions, and they hurriedly asked, "Where is the body of my father-in-law?" ”
