"Woohoo!"

Round after round of arrows fell sharply, ruthlessly reaping the lives of thousands of Cao Jun.

At the same time, hundreds of oil clay pots were smashed into the valley in a volley of arrows.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

With a loud thud, the fire pot burst suddenly in the midst of the rocks, igniting the withered grass and illuminating the entire valley.

At this point, the Cao army hiding in the dark valley finally revealed its face, completely exposed to the sight of the Xiliang army at the mouth of the valley and on the top of the mountains on both sides.

"Cao Hong is here, and those who stand in my way die! Kill———! ”

In the bright fire, but seeing Cao Hong wielding his knife and drinking, he led tens of thousands of soldiers to carry arrows and arrows on their heads, stepped on the fire of the prairie fire, and rushed to the valley mouth without fear of death.

"Cao Hong?" Li Li, who set off almost at the same time as Cao Hong, rushed to the bottom of the mountain at this time, and immediately heard Cao Hong's self-registration number.

Stopping on the official road outside the valley mouth, Li Li's expression was slightly shocked when he heard the sound, and his eyes narrowed slightly along the sound of the broken drink, instantly locked on Cao Hong's location, and then memorized the color of his armor and body shape characteristics in his heart.

At this time, Li Li couldn't help but rejoice that the Golden Lion Beast Throne under his crotch was very good, the speed was as fast as lightning, he walked up and down the mountain and down the river like walking on the ground, and his body was tall, so that he could cross the heads of the soldiers and capture Cao Hong's figure for the first time.

"Lord, that sturdy enemy general in dark black armor is Cao Cao's trusted general Cao Hong!" Just when Li Li was staring at Cao Hong murderously, Zhang Liao raised his hand and pointed at Cao Hong, who was three hundred meters away from the prancing horse and raising his sword, and urgently asked for an order: "The last general, please order Cao Hong to be killed, and I hope that the lord will be perfect!" ”

"Lord, the last general, please go out to fight Cao Hong!" Ma Chao answered.

Immediately, Xu Chu, Chen Dao, Xu Ding, Xu Huang and other generals invariably asked for battle. They all wanted to be the first to rush up and kill Cao Hong.

It is true that although there are not many soldiers and horses around Li Li at this moment, the combined strength of the valley mouth at the north and south ends is less than 25,000 people; However, there were many generals who followed him. Ma Chao, the commander of the Longxiang battalion, the three brothers Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, the commander of the Shuofeng battalion, Qubei, the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, Zhang Liao and Hu Che'er, the military Sima Xu Huang and Xu Chu and Xu Ding, as well as Chen Zhi, He Man, He Yi brothers, and so on; There were no less than 30 generals with considerable combat power, all of whom were concentrated in the southern valley mouth. Lerma stopped beside Li Li.

Seeing that all the generals asked for battle, Li Li raised his hand to signal that everyone did not have to fight, and ordered in a deep voice: "The archers shoot on both sides of the valley mouth, and not a single Cao army can be let go!" ”

After a pause in his tone, he saw Li Li order sharply: "Zhang Liao and Hu Che'er listen to the order." Order the two of you to lead 3,000 golden guards to rush in, and block the valley mouth for me!" Remembered. You don't have to keep your hands open. When the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, be sure to kill Cao Hong! ”

"No!" When Zhang Liao and Hu Che'er heard the voice, they didn't say a word, and immediately fought the knife and immediately took it

"Go to Bei, Xu Chu listened to the order, and ordered the two of you to lead the three thousand Jin Qiwei as the second echelon. Immediately after Zhang Liao's subordinates entered the valley, I must firmly guard the 300-meter valley mouth Yongdao, not give an inch, and dare to fight the retreaters. Kill! Li Li ordered sharply.

"No, the last general will obey!"

Seeing that the two generals of Bei and Xu Chu beat their horses and left, Li Li continued to order: "Ma Tie and Ma Xiu listen to the order, you two collect all the arrows of the infantry army, quickly lead the three thousand infantry troops around the cliff west of the valley mouth, and shoot Cao Jun fiercely for me." If you run out of arrows, throw them down with stones, sand, and dust, and give me everything that can kill or injure the enemy! Tonight, I will kill all 60,000 Cao troops here, and not a single one will be left! ”

"No!"

After the two Ma Tie brothers were ordered to leave, Li Li looked at Ma Chao sideways, and said in a deep voice: "Meng Qi led the rest of the infantry army to retreat two hundred steps, hold the official road in the east and the mountain road at the mouth of the valley, and be sure to intercept the soldiers of the Cao army who rushed out of the valley, there must be no mistake!" ”

"Don't worry, the last general will not disappoint the lord!"

Ma Chao gave up his hand, immediately turned around his horse, waved his silver spear, and took away more than 9,000 foot soldiers to retreat to the official road, waiting in formation, ready to intercept and kill the Cao army soldiers who broke through the valley at any time.

After the generals took orders and left, Li Li only had 5,000 Jinqi guards and iron horsemen left by his side, and there were only a few generals, which made the originally overcrowded Taniguchi official road suddenly relaxed.

"The two generals He Yi and He Man will obey the order, and the two of you will stay at the mouth of the valley and command the archers to defend the exit, waiting for the opportunity to kill the enemy general!"

The He brothers waved their hands and responded: "No, the last general will obey the order!" ”

Li Li bowed slightly, the solemn look on his face quickly dissipated, and he waved his hand to signal the Jin Qiwei war horse behind him to retreat fifty steps, and then stopped at the horse, with a forest of guns and halberds, ready to wait.

Stopping on the official road, Li Li squinted his eyes and watched the 3,000 cavalry of Zhang Liao and Hu Che'er, who rushed into the valley, and the tens of thousands of Cao troops led by Cao Hong in close combat. Immediately, he turned his head and whispered to Xu Huang and Xu Ding, the second general: "Gongming, Boning, you two will stay here with me tonight, and our five thousand war cavalry is the third line of defense at Taniguchi." As long as the enemy army rushes to the official road, we will kill it, if we can't intercept it, presumably the fourth line of defense formed by Meng Qi and his infantry will be difficult to intercept Cao's army.

Therefore, the ensuing battle was very fierce, and either the enemy was killed or we were killed. Cao's army numbered more than 60,000 people, which was more than three times that of our army, and once they were allowed to rush out of the valley, our army would be really difficult to stop. Before the arrival of reinforcements at Hangu Pass, we must not have the kindness of a woman, we must not leave our hands, and our army will not capture prisoners, and they will all be killed! ”

"No, the last general will obey!"

————————————

The valley with a total length of 345 meters is wide and narrow, with stone depressions all over the ground, the widest is only three zhang, and the narrow place is only one zhang, and can accommodate three war horses at most to ride side by side.

But now, the combined soldiers and horses of the two armies are nearly 20,000 horses and horses crowded on such a narrow mountain road.

Cao Hong led more than 15,000 people who were not afraid of death to rush from the inside out, and Zhang Liao and Hu Che'er led 3,000 Jinqi guards to leap horses and wave swords from the valley mouth to block them; Such a fierce collision on a narrow road, at first glance, it was bloody and bloody, and they fought to the death.

"Kill ———!"

On the inside of the plank road at the valley entrance, Cao Hong changed the habit of sitting in the rear army and commanding the battle, and waved his whip on his horse, taking the lead. The war knives in his hands were stirring one after another, and the powerful and heavy sword of war surged out in a low roar, and in an instant, he cut down a Golden Lion Guard cavalryman from his horse. And above his head, the arrows whistled and fell from time to time, mixed with large and small stones and dust, causing the soldiers behind him to fall in pieces, and then trampled into flesh by the soldiers who rushed behind him.

But this qiē didn't seem to have anything to do with Cao Hong, and it couldn't interfere with his fighting spirit of killing the enemy on horseback, and even if he had two random arrows on his left shoulder, it couldn't stop him from charging forward bravely.

I saw that he was wearing a red tasseled eagle helmet. Wearing a dark red robe, a black-chested horse under his crotch, and holding a dark iron knife, he took the lead and rushed into the plank road more than 100 steps in the blink of an eye at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye. With a swing of the sword, he slashed and killed the four Golden Guards cavalry who rushed to the front, and then used the power of the war horse to attack. Hedge against Jin Yiwei.

Magnificent. Extremely brave, wide open and closed, unstoppable!

"Damn! Cao Hong is extremely arrogant, does he treat me Zhang Liao as nothing? ”

The middle section of the 200-meter plank road guarded by the Jin Yiwei Iron Cavalry. Seeing Cao Hong slaughtering all the way in front of the army, and more than ten Jinqi Guard cavalry died tragically under his sword in a few breaths, Zhang Liao was filled with indignation. His eyes were as red as fire, his hands were clenched with his war knives, and he was eager to try, and he couldn't wait to rush up and kill Cao Hong immediately. However, he was in the middle of many Golden Lion Guard War Horses at the moment, and his way forward was blocked. There were more than 1,000 war cavalry behind him who slowly followed up, so that he couldn't advance or retreat in the formation, and could only watch Cao Hong, who was thirty meters away, kill in all directions, but he couldn't step forward to engage in battle.

It happened that Zhang Liao was angry, but he saw that Cao Hong led the soldiers of the Cao army to rush through the plank road of more than 20 meters, and entered the relatively wide plank road stone recess to meet with Jin Qiwei's short soldiers, and fought fiercely. And Cao Hong's brave and fierce killing without fear of death inspired many Cao soldiers who rushed behind him to follow up, making them disregard life and death, and actually collided head-on with the war horse under Jin Qiwei's crotch with their flesh and blood.

After paying nearly 1,000 casualties, the soldiers of the Cao Army, who were mostly infantry troops, contained the shock wave of the Jin Yiwei Iron Cavalry head-on, and then the soldiers of the two armies fought in the stone recess 130 meters inside the plank road.

In the stone recess, which is more than dozens of zhang long and about three zhang wide, nearly 1,000 soldiers of the two armies gathered frantically. This is almost a crowded hand-to-hand combat, and the weapon in the hand can only be held high above the head to be slashed out, otherwise the weapon is redundant, and it cannot be used at all.

"General Wenyuan, don't worry, wait for a certain person to rush up and kill Cao Hong's thief!"

Seeing that his cavalry could hardly give full play to the slightest advantage of the cavalry in this narrow plank road, he couldn't resist the desperate charge of Cao's foot soldiers, Hu Che'er, who was riding side by side with Zhang Liao, turned over and dismounted, and immediately carried a pair of dark halberds to drive away the soldiers in front of him and rushed to the stone recess.

But seeing that he squeezed away a few war horses to make some gaps, he immediately jumped forward, stepped on the hips of a cavalryman behind him, kicked his legs suddenly, jumped sideways again, and kicked his feet on the stone wall as fast as lightning, and crossed the head of the crowded war horsemen, instantly crossing a distance of more than ten meters. The moment his body lost his balance, Hu Che'er turned his back and somersaulted, landed on the mount of a Jin Yiwei, and then quickly stepped on the mount of the Jin Yiwei, raised his halberd and slashed at Cao Hong, who was slashing at the Jin Yiwei cavalry.

This was the first time Zhang Liao saw the "iron footboard" Hu Che'er show his skills, and the whole process was like a cornice, quickly passing through the hundreds of Jinyiwei war horses crowded together, and finally appeared in front of the enemy general Cao Hong.

Previously, almost all the generals of the Xiliang Army knew that although Hu Che'er did not know a few big characters, was rude and reckless, and had a very bad temper, they had heard that he could carry a weight of 500 catties and travel 700 miles a day. However, most of the main generals in the army know that there is still one person in the Xiliang Army whose speed on foot is still above Hu Che'er, and that is General Li Zhi.

However, these are just rumors, but in fact, not many people have seen Hu Che'er and Li Zhi's eaves and wall walking stunts.

But today, Zhang Liao really saw Hu Che'er's agile skills, and his skills were really extraordinary, which was amazing!
