Chapter 657 Bloody Flying Cloud Crossing 2

The moon and stars are scarce, and the cold wind is harsh.

Flying clouds cross the southern end of the mountain stream, and the fire soars into the sky, illuminating the mountains and rivers in a radius of dozens of miles.

The noisy and huge noise soared into the sky, shouting and killing, colliding, screaming, neighing, and many sounds were mixed together, breaking the loneliness of the cold night and resounding in the night sky for hundreds of miles.

Outside Hanya Pass.

On the official road at the main entrance, a lightning-fast figure rushed towards the closing door at a speed that was difficult to find with the naked eye. With his swift speed as the wind and his infrequent appearance, he strode like a ghost, and his speed was no less than that of a galloping horse, if not more so. If it weren't for the faint sound of his running footsteps and the sound of chains that sounded from time to time, anyone who saw this figure would surely faint on the spot, and even fall asleep, whimpering for his life.

"Stop coming!"

On the city tower several feet high, the captain who was in charge of guarding the city gate received the report as soon as possible, and immediately rushed to inspect it, and sure enough, he saw a figure approaching the city gate quickly.

So he immediately shouted: "Stop!" If you dare to get half a step closer to the city gate, we will wait for a flurry of arrows, and you will definitely not return. Now the city gate has been completed, if you want to clear the customs, come back after dawn! ”

"I am Li Zhi, the commander of Jin Yiwei, and I came to convey the order of the lord army at night, where is the lord Gao Shun, let him come to see me quickly!"

In front of the city gate, a figure as swift as the wind stood still, and then raised his head and shouted loudly. In order to prove his identity, he casually threw out the chain of his left hand as he spoke, and the chain more than two feet long drew a graceful arc in the air, and then wrapped around his arm and returned to its original position.

"Commander Li Zhi?" The captain of the city gate was stunned when he heard this, and after seeing the chains thrown by the people in the city, he immediately confirmed Li Zhi's identity.

The general of the Western Liang army who used chains as weapons. And the chain is more than two feet long, and there is only one person who can be retracted and released freely, so far, this is the commander of the pro-guard army who always follows the lord Li Li, the flying general Li Zhi!

"Please wait a while, the last general is duty, you can't ask the commander to enter the customs privately, the last general will immediately invite General Gao Shun to come!"

After confirming the identity of the visitor, the captain of the city gate immediately replied respectfully, and then turned around and ran quickly to the city guard's mansion.

He looked up and watched the lieutenant walk away quickly. Li Zhi nodded slightly, and whispered to himself: "This little colonel obviously knows my identity, but he still abides by the military order and is not allowed to let anyone enter the customs at night, which is really commendable." It seems that the lord is right. Hangu Pass is guarded by Gao Shun's sinking camp, which is indeed foolproof! ”

Under the city pass. Li Zhi stood quietly a hundred steps away from the city gate. The figure does not move at all.

However, when there was a sudden noise in the air, he turned abruptly and looked back.

But I saw a red light in the mountains dozens of miles away, and thick smoke rose into the air in the red light, accompanied by shouts of killing, screams, neighing of horses, and huge shaking sounds.

For a moment, Li Zhi's face was full of solemnity. Suddenly feeling anxious, he involuntarily paced gently, looking up at the city with an eager expression, hoping that Gao Shun would appear soon.

Not much. There was a rush of footsteps at the head of the city, and then the figures of Gao Shun, Huan Fei and more than ten generals appeared on the head of the city.

"Sure enough, it's Zicheng!" As soon as he first boarded the city tower, Huan Fei took a look at it and immediately affirmed Li Zhi's identity. Immediately, he waved his hand to signal the captain to drop the drawbridge and open the city gate, and shouted at the city: "Why did Zicheng come here late at night, lord?" The lord said that he could enter the customs tonight, why didn't he come until now, but let Zicheng come here alone? ”

"Feihu doesn't need to ask more, I'll talk to you about this matter later. Do you see the fire in the sky over Feiyundu fifty miles away? ”

"Ugh!" Huan Fei was shocked when he heard this, looked up into the distance, and sure enough, he saw a red light in the direction of Feiyundu, as well as rising smoke.

"Zicheng, what's going on? Feiyundu south of the valley mouth is the official road, this is the main road to cross the river and return to Hangu Pass, is there someone halfway to intercept and kill the lord? ”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of many generals around Huan Fei changed greatly, and they all raised their eyes to look in the direction of Feiyundu, with a look of astonishment.

When Huan Fei and Li Zhi shouted to each other, Gao Shun discovered a vision of the night sky for dozens of miles, and after hearing Li Zhi's words at this moment, he shouted urgently: "Quickly open the city gate and invite General Zicheng to enter the pass!" Zicheng, what's going on? ”

"Filial piety is not in a hurry, this is a sudden thing." Hearing Gao Shun's voice with a strong sense of anxiety, Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "I won't enter the city, and it's the same to convey the lord's military order here." The two generals, Xiaogong and Feihu, were ordered by the lord to immediately recruit the Shuofeng battalion to the valley mouth north of Feiyundu for reinforcements; 20,000 Flying Bear heavy armored cavalry were requisitioned and immediately set off to the official road south of Feiyundu to reinforce the lord and annihilate Cao's army. In addition, General Gao Shun stayed behind in the city pass, and no one was allowed to enter or leave Hangu Pass without the order of the lord general! ”

"This ???" Huan Fei, Gao Shun and the others were stunned when they heard this, and they couldn't understand why Cao Cao's army suddenly appeared outside Hangu Pass, and also ran into the river-crossing team led by the lord Li Li?

"You don't need to ask, immediately carry out the military order, prepare the troops and horses, and follow me to reinforce the lord!" Li Zhi shouted.

Huan Fei came back to his senses when he heard this, and nodded happily: "Zicheng wait a minute, I'll go and gather soldiers and horses, and at most two teas can lead the army to set off!" ”

"That's great, time is pressing, go back quickly!" Li Zhi responded.

――――――――――――

Feiyundu.

In the plank road at the southern end of the valley, Zhang Liao led 3,000 Jinyi guard cavalry and tens of thousands of Cao troops led by Cao Hong to fight to the death, not retreating, and fighting for every inch of land.

At the beginning of the battle, the two armies fought to the death and fought bloodily.

The fierceness of the battle is shocking, and the tenacity of the soldiers is unprecedented.

The battle has been less than half an hour, but the number of deaths of soldiers on both sides is very huge. Every second, there are nearly 100 casualties in both armies, and the number is growing.

Up to now, the total casualties of the two armies have reached tens of thousands, but the casualties of the Cao army are several times that of the Xiliang army. So far, more than 14,000 officers and soldiers of the Cao army have suffered casualties, of which about 50 percent are wounded, and less than 20 percent of the dead soldiers have actually died in battle. The 3,000 Jinyi Guards Iron Cavalry blocked at the mouth of the valley are now only more than 1,000 people left, most of the cavalry were killed by Cao Jun's random arrows, and less than 1,000 soldiers died in the frontal battle.

It is worth mentioning that less than 300 of the 2,000 cavalry lost by the Xiliang Army were wounded, and the rest were all killed.

At the same time, within half an hour, Cao Jun failed to break through the valley mouth half a step, and remained more than 100 meters inside the plank road, never able to repel the Xiliang army rushing out of the valley.

Cao Ang, who rescued Cao Hong from Hu Che'er's men, rode his horse and retreated through the crowded plank road, not noticing the sudden sound of "Xiu Xiu" breaking the air behind him, and he didn't even think that Hu Che'er would throw the halberd in his hand as a hidden weapon and kill him from behind. It wasn't until the halberd approached that Cao Ang suddenly became alert and tilted his body to the side, trying to dodge the sneak attack of the sharp weapon from behind. It's a pity that he found out too late, and only when the halberd was about to die, did he dodge it in hindsight, it was too late!

"Poof!"

Just as Cao Ang was sideways to avoid, he suddenly felt a pain in his back, and his body involuntarily turned over and fell off the horse. The moment he fell off the horse, he clearly heard the sound of the sharp object on his back piercing his flesh, and then a heart-rending pain rushed into his mind, causing him to scream. In the midst of the screams, a mouthful of irrepressible blood blurted out, and the blood foam splashed everywhere, spraying more than ten soldiers around him all over their faces, and frightened all the soldiers who retreated with pale faces, and no one dared to step forward to support him.

The moment he fell off the horse, Cao Ang clearly felt that his body was pierced by a hidden weapon. The extremely sharp hidden weapon contained a huge force, instantly piercing his back armor, piercing his heart from under the ribs, through the heart and lungs, and then through the ribs, piercing his entire body.

After landing on the ground, Cao Ang's cheeks did not become pale, but flushed, his eyes burst out, and the color in his eyes disappeared at an extremely fast speed. At the moment when he kept vomiting blood, he was very unwilling and remorseful, and he was extremely nostalgic for the many things that he had disdained in front of him; The rapid flow of life clearly told him that he had too little experience in battlefield fighting, and he didn't know that people's hearts were sinister, and he always thought that he was strong in martial arts and skilled in bows and horses, and he could be afraid of anyone, and the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty could be obtained. It wasn't until this moment when his life came to an end that he knew that it was not a strong martial artist who could come and go freely on the battlefield, and any inconspicuous mistake was enough to cost people his life.

Since ancient times, how many invincible generals who galloped on the battlefield did not die on the way to the charge, but died at the hands of Xiao Xiao, under the black hands behind them. Tonight, there is a new person added to these humiliated and dead generals, and this is Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang Cao Zixiu, who was sixteen years old at the time.

"Zixiu, wake up, my son!"

In the gourd valley five hundred steps away from the plank road at the mouth of the valley, under the cover of hundreds of giant shield soldiers, Cao Cao saw Cao Ang, the eldest son who was carried back by Cao Hong, to be precise, it should be Cao Ang's corpse.

Just now, after Cao Ang fell off the horse, he vomited blood in a big gulp, and he died in less than thirty breaths, and he didn't even leave a word before he died. And Cao Hong, who shared a horse with Cao Ang, narrowly escaped because he sat in front of Cao Ang, except for the injuries on his hands and the outer side of his right abdomen, he was very wolf-like, and his body was too consumed, and his body was fine.

At this moment, seeing Cao Cao mournfully hugging Cao Ang, who had not yet cooled down, and crying, Cao Hong's face was full of shame, and he wanted to open his mouth to persuade several times, but it was difficult to speak, and he swallowed back the words blocked in his throat.
