——————
Zhang He, who was once again shocked by the white-robed enemy general's spear, was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but raise his voice and asked: "Who are you, dare to report your name?" ”
The white-robed enemy general who was besieged, the spear in his hand shrouded his body like a silver dragon flying, impenetrable, with one enemy, but he did not fall behind at all.
In the interval, he shouted loudly without looking back: "What are you afraid of, I am Changshan Zhao Zilong!" ”
"Changshan Zhao Zilong? Isn't it Zhao Yun, a white-robed young general under the command of 、、、 Gongsun Zhan? Zhang He said in surprise.
"Phew!" Zhao Yun, who was dressed in white robe and silver armor, was annoyed when he heard this, and with an angry shout, the gentian spear swept away, and the four generals of the Yuan army were shocked back, and then he hit him backhanded, and then forced the Gao Gan who was waiting for the opportunity to sneak attack from behind to retreat a few steps.
Taking advantage of the short gap, Zhao Yun angrily reprimanded: "Zhang Junyi, you listen to me!" I am Changshan Zhaoyun Zhao Zilong, now the general of Zuo Zhonglang under the command of the hussar general, not the general of General Gongsun of Youzhou! If you dare to talk nonsense and make noise again, don't blame Zhao for ignoring the friendship of his fellow villagers, and he will definitely kill you under the gentian gun! ”
Seeing Zhao Yun admit his identity in person, Zhang He's expression changed greatly, his expression was extremely solemn, his eyes became erratic, and a trace of fear flashed in the corners of his eyes, which flashed away. Originally, he was going to take advantage of Zhao Yun's words to wait for an opportunity to make a move, but at this moment, he had to give up this idea, and subconsciously reined in a few steps back, and retreated to the outer circle without a trace, as if he was unwilling to fight Zhao Yun again.
Fortunately. At this moment, there were many generals of the Yuan army besieging Zhao Yun, and in addition to Zhang He's quiet retreat, there were still twelve generals including Gao Lan and Gao Gan who joined forces to deal with Zhao Yun. And so it goes. No one noticed the different color on Zhang He's face, let alone knew that he had retreated.
For Jizhou Zhang He, he can be said to be no stranger to Zhao Yun, and even quite familiar. Long before Zhao Yun defected to Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, the two had several faces, although they had no deep friendship, but they felt good about each other. There is a bit of sympathy for each other. After all, both of them are natives of Jizhou, and they are both people who practice martial arts, and the most important thing is that the weapons they are good at are spears. And each of them is quite famous in the local area. Moreover, Jizhou is not small, but it is not big, and there are small and famous warriors among the counties. Most people have probably never met. But they have also heard of each other, and Zhao Yun and Zhang He are just one of the few people in the same way who have had several faces.
After that, Zhao Yun followed Gongsun Zhan to fight for two years, during which he clashed with the Jizhou army several times, and almost all the opponents he faced in each battle were Jizhou generals such as Ju Yi, Zhang He, Wen Chou and Yan Liang.
Therefore, at the first moment of the fight, Zhang He felt that Zhao Yun looked very familiar, and he suddenly had a sense of déjà vu. And I thought of Zhao Yun for the first time. After all, like Zhao Yun, who was dressed in white robes and silver armor, was good at using spears. And the person riding on the white horse under the crotch is really extremely conspicuous, but once he has seen it, he will be deeply impressed, and he will not forget it. However, the moment he remembered Zhao Yun, Zhang He subconsciously rejected this idea, because he knew that Zhao Yun was the pro-soldier captain of Gongsun Zan of Youzhou. And Youzhou and Hangu Pass are thousands of miles apart, how could Zhao Yun suddenly appear on the battlefield of Loudiyuan?
At the same time, at this moment, when the sky is bright, under the sudden encounter, they have no time to care about the appearance of their opponents. Because of this, Zhang He didn't see Zhao Yun's appearance clearly, but he only felt that Zhao Yun's head and body were very familiar, and he seemed to be an old man.
However, after more than a dozen rounds of fierce fighting, Zhang He felt more and more that the person in front of him was very similar to Zhao Yun, the same white robe and silver armor, the same coiling dragon spear, and the same martial arts were extremely strong, this scene seemed to be a repetition of the battle of the boundary bridge in the past. On that day, Zhao Yun led hundreds of cavalry to rush into the siege to rescue Gongsun Zhan, but he himself broke off alone, and as a result, he was besieged by dozens of Yuan generals, and he was in a dangerous situation. However, Zhao Yun fought for dozens of rounds with his own strength, and finally broke out of the siege before the arrival of Jizhou generals such as Wen Chou and Yan Liang, so as to turn the danger into a disaster and escape from death.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang He shouted in the middle of the battle, but unexpectedly, Zhao Yun's affirmative reply made what he least wanted to see become a fact.
Zhao Yun turned his back on Gongsun Zan and joined the command of Li Li of Xiliang, and was also entrusted with an important task by Li Li and gave Zuo Zhonglang the position of general. Is it so possible, Zhao Yun, the lone hero who once single-handedly rescued Gongsun Zhan, is a person who is a traitor?
Although Zhang He was very reluctant to believe that this was true, Zhao Yun killed Yuan Xi in a single gallop, and this bloody fact was in front of him at this moment, and he couldn't help but believe it.
So, when Zhao Yun personally admitted that he was the general of the Xiliang Army, Zhang He knew that Yuan Xi was only afraid that he would die in vain, and only the more than ten generals in front of him could not help Zhao Yun at all, let alone kill him, and avenge Yuan Xi. You must know that in the battle of Jieqiao in the past, at least more than 20 generals above the military marquis besieged Zhao Yun, and finally paid a huge price for more than ten generals to be killed and wounded, but they were still killed by Zhao Yun and fled.
At this moment, the old thing repeats itself, although these dozen generals can trap Zhao Yun for a while, but they can never hurt him, when the generals are weak for a long time, it is the time for Zhao Yun to break out of the encirclement.
The most important thing is that among the dozen or so Yuan army generals who besieged Zhao Yun, the generals with the strongest combat effectiveness were Zhang He and Gao Lan. However, Zhang He was injured by Li Li before, and now although he still has the strength to fight, he is already at the end of the strong crossbow, and he can exert sixty percent of his combat power at most, and his strength is not as good as before.
Compared with Zhang He, who was seriously injured, Gao Lan, who was also one of the four court pillars in Jizhou, was not much better. On the way to the camp from the front of the battle just now, he was shot in the back by a stray arrow from the Xiliang army, although the arrow wound was not deep, but he lost a lot of blood when he passed through the guò pit, and then his combat strength was greatly damaged. At present, Gao Ran is also fighting hard, the speed of swinging the knife is not as good as before, and his strength is only half of that of his heyday. If he continues to fight like this, within thirty rounds, Gao Ran will be unable to fight again, not only will he not be able to kill Zhao Yun, but he will even be unable to protect himself.
"Bang Bang!"
In the loud sound of weapons clashing, a steady stream of bright sparks burst out. In the blink of an eye, it looks like a bunch of blooming white lotus, dazzling and dazzling. It's hard to face.
Just as more than ten generals joined forces to besiege Zhao Yun and fight bravely, Zhang He attacked and killed many times in a row, but each time he shook a shot, and then took a few steps back without leaving a trace. After a few rounds, before he knew it, he had withdrawn from the battle, and had galloped to the wall of the camp a hundred paces away. Immerse yourself in the shadows and watch the battle unfold. That's what it means to sit on the sidelines.
And the reason why Zhang He did this was in addition to his own serious injuries. And his own considerations.
Just now, when Zhao Yun led the Xiliang War Cavalry to suddenly kill in front of the Yuanmen, Yuan Shao did not care about the life or death of the soldiers under his command, and brazenly ordered the closure of the Yuanmen. And so on. The one who really rushed into the gate by luck. There were only Chun Yuqiong, Xu Yu and two or three thousand soldiers; The remaining more than 7,000 officers and soldiers of the Yuan army, including Zhang He, Gao Lan, Yuan Xi, Guo Tu, Xun Chen, Gao Gan and dozens of generals, were all blocked out. As a result, they had to turn around and fight with the Xiliang War Cavalry, and there was no other way out.
However, when Zhang He, Gao Ran and other generals had no choice but to lead the army to counterattack when they were dying, they found that there were not many Xiliang warriors who were raided and killed. There are only 5,000 horsemen. If Yuan Shao stood up and commanded the army to meet the battle as soon as possible, he would rely on more than 10,000 cavalry in front of the gate. With the help of the bow and crossbow on the tower of Yuanmen City, at most half an hour can kill all the five thousand war horses under Zhao Yun's department, and there is no need to hide in the camp and not fight behind closed doors. It's a pity that these Yuan soldiers who have just escaped from the plank road in the middle of the pit killing array, including the lord Yuan Shao, have all become frightened birds, and they have no intention of responding to the battle under the sudden upheaval, so they only know how to blindly run away from the battle.
It was precisely because the generals had no intention of facing the battle that Zhao Yun's cavalry was like a bamboo, and in an instant, the more than 7,000 Yuan troops blocked outside the gate were shattered. Just one charge, there were no less than two thousand Yuan soldiers who were killed by the Xiliang war cavalry, and the remaining four or five thousand Yuan troops were scattered as birds and beasts, running as long as they could, and those who couldn't run away could only turn around to meet the enemy and fight to the death. Even so, three or four thousand desperate Yuan army soldiers dragged the five thousand war cavalry under Zhao Yun's tent, making it difficult for the Xiliang war cavalry to get out for a while, and then they were shot by the bow and crossbow on the city tower, and the casualties were not small.
Therefore, at present, the Allied army camp is far from being broken by the Xiliang cavalry, and after the thousands of cavalry under Zhao Yun's tent were shot and killed by thousands of cavalry, the remaining more than 3,000 cavalry are not enough to pose a threat to the battalion. Therefore, the Allied camp is safe, and it was just a false alarm.
However, it was precisely because of the false alarm that Yuan Shao became more and more incompetent, and what he did was even more absurd. As the commander of an army, he often abandons his soldiers to escape alone, and this kind of escape is afraid of death, and is ruthless, doesn't it make the soldiers of the whole army feel cold?
No matter what the other generals and soldiers thought, Zhang He was very dissatisfied with Yuan Shao anyway, and he was extremely disappointed, and then an indescribable sense of sadness came to his heart and lingered. Because of this, if he had learned that Zhao Yun had turned his back on Gongsun Zan and switched to Li Li, he would definitely be very ashamed, and he would even humiliate Zhao Yun in person. But at this moment, after experiencing the scene of being abandoned by his own lord, he suddenly felt that Zhao Yun's choice was not wrong, and it was even very wise.
Since ancient times: good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose the lord to do things. Now, Zhao Yun has become the commander of the Xiliang Army, but where should he go from here?
After combing through his thoughts, Zhang He, who was under the wall of Lema, felt unprecedentedly confused and at a loss. Before this, he never thought that he would one day betray Yuan Shao and join him, but after witnessing Tian Feng's generous death and Yuan Shao's ruthless and unrighteous actions overnight, Yuan Xi was killed, and after encountering a series of drastic changes, Zhang He had to reconsider his future and fate.
Zhang He, who had no clue, suddenly muttered to himself as if he had an understanding: "Maybe after this battle, the world of this Han Dynasty will completely change." But who is the real master, and where should I go??????"
Whispering to himself, Zhang He looked up at the sky, but saw the golden morning light across the sky, bringing infinite light to the world.
