Chapter 1046: Something Happened to Yecheng
All the family members and relatives had just been killed by Yuan Jun, Zhang He's face was pale, and he glared at Han Meng angrily with a halberd.
Han Meng was not afraid of Zhang He, and seeing that Zhang He's face was not good, Han Meng raised his arm.
The longbowmen of the Yuan army, who had already lined up to put their arrows on the bowstring, raised their longbows one after another, aiming at the five thousand Cao troops led by Zhang He.
The 5,000 Cao army had already rushed to a very close place to the Yuan army, and the soldiers were holding short spears and large shields, and they were in a neat formation, just waiting for Zhang He's order, they would rush towards the Yuan army.
At the same time that the archers of the Yuan army were full of bowstrings, all the heavy infantry of the Yuan army, also carrying shields and short spears, ran to the front of the archer array.
Two armies, lined up in neat arrays, confronted each other.
The soldiers on both sides clenched their blades tightly in their hands, stared at each other, and waited for the commander to give the order before charging at their enemies.
"Kill!" Raising the halberd high, Zhang He let out an angry roar, and took the lead in riding a war horse and rushing towards Han Meng.
The 5,000 Cao troops in the array, after Zhang He shouted loudly, shouted in unison, and rushed towards the Yuan army like a tide.
"Fight!" The distance between the two sides was very close, and Han Meng also knew that it would be difficult for the archers to play any role at this time, so he clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, roared, and killed Zhang He on his horse.
The heavy infantry of the Yuan army, which was lined up behind Han Meng, also shouted at the same time as he rushed out, facing the Cao army and killing him.
The archers, who had placed their arrows on the bowstring, let go of their hands as the heavy infantry rushed out.
The feather arrows, which were as dense as rain, flew out towards the Cao army and fell into the charging Cao army, and suddenly a piece of Cao army was shot by the arrow and fell on the battlefield.
The Yuan archers only fired a puff of feathered arrows, and by the time they tried to put the second arrow on the bowstring, the Cao army and the charging Yuan heavy infantry had already collided in one place.
The two torrents converged in one place, and the soldiers on both sides rushed to the front, shields in hand to shield the enemy's attacks, and at the same time kept stabbing their enemies with their short spears.
On the battlefield, there were shouts of slaughter, and the soldiers on both sides were mixed together, and they were all trying to assassinate opponents who were different from the ones they were wearing.
Zhang He and Han Meng, who rushed out first, were surrounded by a group of soldiers from both sides who were fighting.
The two of them only exchanged two or three hands, and then they were scattered by the soldiers of both sides who rushed up later, and between them, there were soldiers from both sides with swords and stabbing at each other.
Holding the pole of the halberd tightly with both hands, Zhang He danced the halberd with a tiger, and every time he picked out a halberd, there would be a Yuan Jun who was pierced by him and fell on the chaotic battlefield.
Not far from Zhang He, Han Meng was also wielding a big knife and slashing Cao Jun beside him.
On the battlefield, Cao Cao and Guo Jia stood one after the other, looking at the two armies fighting from afar.
"If Zhang He breaks the Cao army, and our army wins successive battles, then Yuan Shao will not dare to attack lightly!" Looking at the battlefield in the distance full of smoke and dust, Cao Cao said with some concern: "If this is the case, our army will not have enough food and grass, and I am afraid that it will not be able to confront Yuan Jun for a long time!" ”
"Cao Gong is not in a hurry!" With both hands clenched into fists, Guo Jia arched to Cao Cao and said, "The subordinates have already sent people to investigate the place where Yuan Jun is storing grain!" ”
Turning his head to look at Guo Jia, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and asked him: "In the intention of filial piety, but to find out where Yuan Jun stored grain, and then ......"
"Burn the grain and grass!" Cao Cao only stopped talking halfway, and Guo Jia took over and said: "The Yuan army has a large number of people, if the grain and grass are burned, its military spirit will definitely be weakened!" ”
"Burn grain and grass ......" twisting his beard, Cao Cao turned his face to look at the battlefield where the two armies were fighting, and nodded very slowly.
The 5,000 Cao army led by Zhang He was only a quarter of the Yuan army under Han Meng.
But the two armies collided in one place, and all the Cao troops were completely in a posture of not wanting their lives when they rushed to kill.
20,000 Yuan troops, of which two or three thousand were archers with longbows.
The heavy infantry on both sides were engaged in a fight, and the archers of the Yuan army retreated a lot, putting their arrows on the bowstrings, aiming at the Cao army who was fighting.
Although the bowstring was drawn, Yuan's archers did not shoot the arrows.
Yuan Jun and Cao's soldiers were mixed together, and if they shot arrows, the archers did not know whether they would shoot their own family or Cao Jun.
The soldiers of the Yuan army, who were several times larger than the Cao army, shouted and launched waves of fierce attacks on the Cao army, and the Cao army, which was relatively small in number, was wrapped by the Yuan army, like a sharp long sword, inserted into the depth of the Yuan army.
His relatives were killed by Yuan Jun, and Zhang He was already full of hatred for Yuan Shao at this time.
Wielding a halberd and stabbing at the soldiers of the Yuan army, Zhang He had no intention of leaving his hand.
One by one, Yuan Jun was stabbed by his halberd and knocked to the ground, and after stabbing to death twenty or thirty Yuan soldiers in a row, Zhang He rushed to Han Meng, who was brandishing a big knife to slash at the soldiers of Cao Jun.
"Han Meng's life is coming!" With a burst of shouts, Zhang He danced his halberd and stabbed it towards Han Meng's neck.
Seeing him rushing closer, Han Meng had already taken precautions, and as soon as the halberd reached his neck, he turned his head to the side to avoid the halberd that Zhang He stabbed at him.
The halberd stabbed against his cheek, and before Zhang He could change the angle of his blade, Han Meng also slammed the big knife upward.
The edge of the big knife did not pick at Zhang He, but cut at the neck of the war horse under Zhang He's crotch from the bottom up.
Han Meng's knife didn't seem to pose any threat to Zhang He, but in fact, it showed his old experience in fighting.
The edge of the weapon slashed to the jaw of the war horse, and if he succeeded, Zhang He's war horse would definitely be killed on the spot.
Riding on horseback, once the war horse is killed, Zhang He will definitely fall from it, and then Han Meng only needs to slash him again, and he can be cut in two.
Splitting this knife, Han Meng's expectation in his heart was not bad, but it was not an ordinary general who could fight with him, but Zhang He.
The halberd had already been pierced, and it was completely impossible to pick the broadsword with the tip of the halberd.
Zhang He pressed his hand down, and slammed the big knife that was about to slash into the jaw of the war horse with his halberd rod.
The big knife that was picked up upwards was knocked by the halberd rod, and the force on the knife body was suddenly swinged.
The big knife was swept away by Zhang He, Han burst out, took advantage of the momentum to slash the big knife, and slashed sideways towards Zhang He's waist ribs on horseback.
Zhang He didn't pay attention to the blade that slashed at his waist ribs, but just pressed the halberd shaft of the long halberd backwards, and after blocking the blade, he casually stabbed the long halberd into Han Meng's eyes.
Seeing the sharp peak of the halberd stabbing towards his eyes, Han Meng tilted his head, lifted the broadsword, and knocked the halberd blade away with the hilt.
The two of them were happy to kill each other on the battlefield, and the soldiers on both sides around them were like two groups of completely crazy beasts, using the sharp blades in their hands to harvest the lives of the enemy.
While Cao Cao and Guo Jia were plotting to find the location of Yuan Jun's grain and grass, Yuan Shao, who was standing on the high wall, also had a cold face and was looking at the battlefield of the battle.
killed Zhang He's relatives, and Yuan Shao regretted it at that time.
Whether Zhang He defected to Cao Cao or not, the matter is not yet clear, and his doing so undoubtedly made Zhang He make up his mind to join Cao Cao's account.
But things have already been done, and regretting them is useless.
Looking at the direction of the battlefield where the battle was going on outside the high wall, Yuan Shao couldn't see what the scene on the battlefield was like because of the distance.
Bursts of shouts and killings floated from afar, as if they were telling Yuan Shao that the battlefield was fierce.
"Yuan Gong!" Looking out of the high wall, Yuan Shao heard the sound of trial behind him.
Hearing the judge's words, he turned around and asked the judge, "What's the matter?" ”
"Qi Yuan Gong, something happened to Yecheng!" He bowed with his fists in his hands, saluted Yuan Shao, and said to him: "Brother Xu You, relying on Xu You's power, robbed the people's daughter in the city and killed the husband of the people's daughter." The woman's husband's family tried to find a way to complain, but he ordered the evil slave to kill the whole family! ”
The words of the trial did not attract enough attention from Yuan Shao.
The war in the Guandu area is tense, and all he thinks about every day is how to defeat Cao Cao, and Xu You's inner brother killed some ordinary people, which is nothing.
Beckoning to the judge, Yuan Shao said to him: "I thought it was a big deal, but I just killed some ordinary people and gave more money and food to appease him!" ”
Maintaining a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, the judge said to Yuan Shao: "Yuan Gong Mingjian, Xu Yu's inner brother killed the people all over the house, and now he has angered the people of several villages, and now they are all clamoring to ask Yuan Gong for an explanation!" ”
"...... ask for an explanation?" The corners of his mouth pulled up a disdainful smile, Yuan Shao just said these few words, and then he didn't say anything.
From Yuan Shao's words, the judge heard that he didn't attach much importance to this matter, and hurriedly said: "Yuan Gong, the people are making trouble, if Yuan Gong sends troops to suppress it, there are only two villages, and they can really be killed!" ”
"It's not going to kill them all, is it?" Turning his head to look at the trial, Yuan Shao said indifferently: "This matter will be handed over to you to deal with, and it will be appeased!" ”
"Yuan Gong is wise!" Yuan Shao's words fell, and the judge clenched his fists and said to him: "The people are indignant, and the subordinates resolutely dare not kill the people of the two villages, if this matter is handed over to the subordinates, I am afraid it will ......."
"Go ahead!" Yuan Shao really didn't want to bother Xinshen more on such a trivial matter, so he waved his hand at the judge, and said impatiently: "I don't need you here for the time being, you can go back to Yecheng!" ”
The judge replied and stepped back from the high wall.
When he reported this matter to Yuan Shao, Xu You had been standing aside.
However, Xu You didn't dare to speak, standing aside, he kept his head down, for fear that Yuan Shao would vent all the anger accumulated in the past few days on his head.
What Xu You was worried about did not happen, Yuan Shao only paid attention to the battle ahead, and did not take the incident that the trial said to heart at all.
