Chapter 1045: Be a Pioneer
Captured by Cao's army, Zhang He lived in Cao Cao's military camp for more than ten days.
During this period, the Yuan army also launched several attacks on Cao's army, but each attack was ultimately in vain.
Whenever Yuan's army attacked, Cao Cao would always ask Zhang He to go to the high wall to see the scene after the battle.
Under the high wall, pieces of Yuan Jun's corpses were piled up, and with Cao Jun's permission, some Yuan soldiers were next to the high wall, cleaning up the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle.
Standing on the high wall, holding the battlements with both hands, and looking down at the corpses under the city wall, Zhang He felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
The soldiers of the Yuan army who died, many of whom had served as soldiers under him in the past, marched with him, and ate in a pot stove.
But now, on the battlefield of Guandu, those once familiar faces will no longer be able to appear in front of him vividly.
Looking down at the corpses that were being carried away by Yuan Jun under the high wall, Zhang He took a deep breath.
A strong smell of blood penetrated his nostrils, irritating every pore of his body.
"Woo Woo!" Looking at the corpse of Yuan Jun under the high wall, Cao Cao on the side said to Zhang He: "Yuan Jun has repeatedly attacked the city in the past few days, and the casualties are not counted, and if it continues for a long time, I am afraid that it will be ......."
At this point, Cao Cao didn't continue, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Cao Cao's words seemed to be worried about Yuan Shao, but his tone revealed his pride in the current progress of the war.
Listening to Cao Cao's words, Zhang He did not say anything.
As a general under Yuan Shao, from the bottom of his heart, he still hopes that Yuan Jun can win a big victory!
"Woo Woo!" Without saying a word, looking at Yuan Jun who was cleaning up the corpse under the city, Zhang He heard a familiar voice in the distance.
Following the sound, he hurriedly raised his head and saw a team of Yuan Jun escorting hundreds of men and women in various colors towards the high wall.
Seeing the person who called him just now, Zhang He was suddenly stunned, and hurriedly shouted: "Father, the child is here!" ”
"Jun Yi, how did you do something disobedient to Yuan Gong and cause my whole family to suffer for you!" As soon as Zhang He's shout fell, the old father, who was escorted by Yuan's soldiers, shouted to him: "Yuan Xuan is known as his father, if you want to save the life of the whole family, you have to kill Cao Cao and offer a pass to Yuan Gong!" ”
The old father's words made Zhang He stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Cao Cao.
Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, who were following behind Cao Cao, saw him turn his head and hurriedly pressed their hands on the hilt of the sword.
The martial arts of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He also knows that with these two people here, even if he attacks Cao Cao, there is no possibility of success.
Just glanced at Cao Cao, Zhang He turned his head and shouted to his father: "The child has been captured by others, and he has no shame to live in the world, although he has the intention to capture Cao Gong, but Cao Gong is surrounded by fierce generals, and the child can't succeed!" ”
Zhang He's words were very direct, and Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, who were standing behind Cao Cao, both frowned, and a touch of unhappiness appeared on their faces.
Cao Cao, on the contrary, looked indifferent, and did not look displeased at all because of Zhang He's words.
"Leave me alone!" Just when Zhang He's shouting fell, his old father suddenly shouted: "Yuan Gong wants to kill us, even if my son assassinates Cao Gong, it will be absolutely difficult for us to live, if Cao Gong does not give up, my son should vote for another master!" ”
After shouting these words, Zhang He's father bowed violently and hit a Yuan Jun beside him with his head.
The chest was hit hard by Zhang He's father, and Yuan Jun sat on the ground with his buttocks, while the other Yuan Jun raised his short spear at this time and pierced his father's back.
"Ahh Seeing his father being stabbed to death by Yuan Jun with a spear, Zhang He shouted bitterly, pressed his hands on the wall battlement, and was about to jump out of the high wall.
Xiahou Yuan, who was following behind Cao Cao, was quick and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Zhang He and hugged him.
At the same time, Yuan Jun, who was escorted by Zhang He's relatives outside the high wall, had already started to kill the men and women who were bound with thick hemp ropes.
"Hurry up and save people!" Seeing that Yuan Jun outside the high wall was killing people, Cao Cao hurriedly shouted behind him.
A group of Cao soldiers, hearing Cao Cao's shout, hurriedly set up their longbows and aimed at the Yuan army who were killing.
These Cao Jun who set up longbows, all of them were good at archery, and one arrow after another flew out, and those Yuan Jun who were carrying blades to kill Zhang He's relatives and relatives suddenly fell dozens of people.
However, Yuan Jun still held shields in his hands, and when they were attacked by arrows, most of them raised their shields to shield the feathered arrows flying down from the high wall, and at the same time did not forget to stab short spears and long swords at the screaming and wailing relatives of Zhang He.
A puff of blood splashed up, and Zhang Heqinjun, who was tied in a string, panicked in his heart and fled in all directions, but immediately because the others ran in a different direction from them, they were tied by the rope and fell to the ground.
Sharp short spears passed through the bodies of Zhang He's relatives, and sharp swords cut off the heads of men and women.
Zhang He, who was held by Xiahou Yuan on the high wall, his eyes were wide open, watching his relatives being killed by Yuan Jun, and he wanted to jump out to rescue, but he was hugged by Xiahou Yuan.
"No!" A terrible howl pierced the sky, tears rolled in Zhang He's eye sockets, and the muscles of his cheeks twitched violently in grief.
The massacre of the Yuan army did not last long, but only for a moment, and Zhang He's relatives were completely killed.
With round eyes, looking at the relatives who were killed outside the city, Zhang He was trembling all over.
"Cao Gong!" Violently pushing away Xiahou Yuan, who was holding him, Zhang He turned around, bent his knees, knelt in front of Cao Cao, lay on the ground, and cried bitterly and said to Cao Cao: "If Cao Gong does not give up, the last general is willing to be the pioneer of Cao Gong and attack Yuan Shao!" ”
Zhang He, who witnessed the killing of his relatives by Yuan Jun, immediately expressed his willingness to serve Cao Cao, Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said to him: "From today on, the enemy of the Emperor is the enemy of a certain one!" ”
"Someone!" Helping Zhang He, who was full of tears, Cao Cao shouted behind him: "Order 5,000 soldiers and horses, and hand them over to Yu Jun to go out of the city to take revenge!" ”
"No!" One of Cao Cao's own soldiers hurriedly answered and ran down the high wall quickly.
It was just a tea scene, and five thousand heavily armed Cao soldiers gathered within the high walls.
After the five thousand Cao troops were gathered, Zhang He on the high wall refused to wait for a moment, and quickly ran down the wall.
When Zhang He ran down the wall, Xiahou Dun, who was following Cao Cao, whispered: "Cao Gong, this time Zhang He is in battle, if he refuses to collect his troops, 5,000 soldiers will be martyred with him!" ”
"Zhang He is not a reckless man!" Before Cao Cao could speak, Guo Jia on the other side said with a smile on his face: "He must know that it is impossible to defeat Yuan Shao in a battle, and this battle is just to give Yuan Jun a prestige!" ”
After saying this, Guo Jia hugged his fist towards Cao Cao and said, "Congratulations to Cao Gong, you have to be a fierce general!" ”
Smiling and brushing his beard, Cao Cao nodded, but did not speak, just stood on the high wall, watching Zhang He run down and turn over the war horse.
Zhang He, who got off the high wall, ran to the Cao army soldiers who were lined up, turned over the war horse brought for him by a soldier, and arched his hand to the five thousand Cao soldiers who were in front of the line, and shouted: "Brothers, it's hard work!" ”
Not familiar with Zhang He, the soldiers of the Cao army focused their eyes on him one by one, waiting for him to continue.
But the furious Zhang He didn't say much, and after saying goodbye to the five thousand Cao Jun, he took the reins, turned the war horse, and roared angrily: "Kill!" ”
With Zhang He's roar, the gate of Cao Jun's high wall immediately opened.
As soon as the gate opened, Zhang He rushed out, and the five thousand Cao troops followed, rushing towards the Yuan army outside like a torrent.
Garrisoned between the two high walls of Cao Jun and Yuan Jun were the 20,000 soldiers and horses that Yuan Shao had just recently transferred, and Zhang He's earlier command had already been transferred into the high wall.
Leading 5,000 Cao troops, Zhang He rushed out on horseback, and did not order the Cao army soldiers to charge in formation.
The scattered Cao army, like a large group of uniformly clothed and uniformly clothed displaced people, rushed towards the Yuan army lined up between the two high walls.
Carrying the halberd, the horse rushed to the front, looking at the Yuan Jun array that was getting closer and closer, Zhang He's cheeks twitched violently, and a pair of eyes seemed to be about to erupt flames.
Cao Jun rushed out from within the high wall, and the leader of the 20,000 Yuan troops was Han Meng, the fierce general in front of Yuan Shao's tent.
Hebei Siting Zhu, has always been rumored to be Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, this Han Meng, if you count, is also one of the four court pillars.
It's just that because he is slightly inferior to Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others, he was imposed as a pillar by Yuan Shao, and Su Rili was not recognized by Yan Liang and Wen Chou and others.
Now Yan Liang and Wen Chou arrived in Luoyang, Zhang He was captured by Cao Cao, Gao Ran was in Yecheng, unable to lead the army to attack Cao's army, Han Meng, who was originally responsible for transporting grain, was transferred to Guandu by Yuan Shao.
Carrying a big knife, watching Zhang He's horse rushing towards the army from a distance, Han Meng raised his arm high.
The archers of the Yuan army, who were standing behind him, buckled their arrows on the bowstrings one after another, aiming at Zhang He, who was leading the army to charge.
Rushing to a distance of only thirty or forty steps from Yuan's army, Zhang He grabbed the reins and stopped his horse.
The soldiers of the Cao army, who followed Zhang He's charge, saw that he stopped, and they also stopped and lined up on the spot.
Cao Jun deserved to be well-trained, but in an instant, a large array was formed.
In the large array of the Yuan army, the longbowmen who buckled the feather arrows on the bowstring were full of bowstrings one by one, but Han Meng did not give an order, but no one fired the arrows.
"What are you doing here?" Carrying a big knife, Han Meng shouted to Zhang He.
Hearing Han Meng's shout, Zhang He snorted coldly and said loudly: "Yuan Shao, old thief, kill my parents and relatives, this hatred is not shared, General Han actually asked what he was doing here!" Isn't it ridiculous? ”
"Jun Yi is the old department of Yuan Gong, who voted for Cao Cao, and still has the face to lead the thief army to kill back, if it spreads, isn't it afraid that the heroes of the world will laugh off their big teeth?" His eyes narrowed slightly, and Han Meng sneered coldly.
