Chapter 205: The North Enemy Fears
Chapter 205: The Northern Enemy is Fearful
In just a moment, there was already a piece of Chu Huang under the hills, and Cao soldiers came to reinforce the country. Although their formation was chaotic, as the number of people increased, they still grew from being denser. They had only one goal to rescue Cao Zhang.
"You all get out of the way, I'm going to kill this guy." Cao Zhang kept roaring under the support of the guards. For him, the defeat in this battle today was really confusing. As soon as he got up, Zhang Liao shot him and forced him to fall from his horse. If he could not capture and kill Zhang Liao immediately and find his face, how could he gain a foothold in front of the generals in the future?
"Major General, you must not. The enemy general was Zhang Liao, one of the ten tigers under Lu Wenhou, who was once the leader of Zhang Liao. He was very brave and we must not underestimate him." The general who spoke was obviously suffering at Zhang Liao, and he looked a little awe when he advised him.
A general who can make the enemy feel awe must be a good general, and in the eyes of his opponent, he is a thorn in his eyes and a nail in his flesh.
"Kill!" Just as the general was speaking, Zhang Liao shouted not far away, and he raised his gun and knocked down the enemy soldiers blocking the road. The bodies of them were flying in the air and falling to the ground, swelling countless dust.
Seeing the general so brave, the Yanbei Cavalry soldiers beside Zhang Liao raised their arms and shouted, while the soldiers on Cao Zhang looked at each other with fear.
Zhang Liao twisted his gun and threw the splattered blood drops, then took the horse's reins, looked up, but there was already a piece of Chu Huang in front of him. After receiving the news of the attack on the central army, Cao soldiers who rushed to rescue rushed to gather around from all sides. Under the flash of torches, the enemy's swords and guns scattered a strange light. In this tide-like yellow torrent, Zhang Liao's cavalry was like a lonely boat in the sea, at risk of being swallowed at any time.
"Show the flag——!" Zhang Liao shouted in a deep voice.
In the night breeze, a navy blue flag of "Breaking the Captain General Zhang!" fluttered high, mixed with the red and white bordered Cao's army flags. It was so arrogant and unruly and unique.
The battle flag was sieging his own battle flag in the enemy's siege, and the result was equivalent to suicide, because the chaos and disorderly Cao's soldiers would soon escape from this battle flag and chase him.
Looking at the Cao Bing who was gradually approaching, Zhang Liao showed a victorious smile on his face. The enemies besieging Tucheng were approaching here one after another. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Lingtong infantry in Tucheng who were waiting for a chance to break through. In order to ensure that the soldiers in the city broke through smoothly, Zhang Liao had forgotten himself.
"Warriors, charge!" In the silent night before dawn, Zhang Liao's voice was majestic and tragic.
Charge————there are enemy soldiers on all sides, where can I rush?
Except for the more than 100 soldiers who had been killed, none of the remaining dead soldiers asked Zhang Liao this question. They just tried their best to destroy the war horses, waved their swords and followed the team leader, commander and commander of the squad. The eyes of these lowest-level generals and officers looked at Zhang Liao with one horse without exception.
"Where we go, we will follow us." In the face of this simple military duty, life or death is no longer so important.
"Zhang Liao is not crazy, Hebei Gaolan comes to fight you!" As he shouted, a strong general with a strong armoured armour with an iron spear was killed from the hill, and nearly 200 cavalry Cao soldiers were following him.
Gao Lan, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Zhang He were called the four tiger generals in Hebei. Yan Liang and Wen Chou died in the battle of Guandu. Gao Lan and Zhang He recognized the opportunity and defected to Cao Cao.
"Good come! Kill-!" Zhang Liao rode his horse and waved his gun and took Gao Lan straight.
"Clang!" After a dull collision, the Yanbei Cavalry, who had swept down from the hill, fought against the Gaolan team of the Cao army, who was attacking upwards. With the help of the favorable terrain, the momentum of the Yanbei Cavalry instantly overwhelmed the Cao soldiers who were superior on the horse breed. Although there were not many people, the advantage of grouping and rapid advancement was even more obvious under the advantage of speed.
There was no gorgeous single-handed challenge, no shouting of soldiers on both sides watching the battle, only the breathing of war horses while running and the screams of soldiers falling from their saddles.
This is a desperate battle of life!
No need for more decoration.
War is so cruel. Either you die or I live.
In the battle formation, Zhang Liao's gun passed through a brilliant light and shadow, piercing a Cao soldier who was following Gao Lan and his helmet and armor. Because they were too close to each other, the blood sprayed out of the enemy soldiers splashed on Zhang Liao's face, and a strong smell of fishy smell rushed into his nose. With the strong smell of blood pouring in, not only Zhang Liao, but everyone on the battlefield couldn't help but fall into madness.
"Kill--." After a charge, Yanbei cavalry lost more than 30 cavalry, while Gao Lan was sparsely left with only five and six cavalry.
The overwhelming number advantage in a short period of time, coupled with the speed of diving down, Zhang Liao and Gao Lan suffered different results. However, with the end of this round, Zhang Liao's advantage disappeared.
The advantage of offensive attack is no longer!
Before the Yanbeiqi rushed down could taste the pleasure of victory, he immediately found that more Cao soldiers were pouring out around him.
"Don't get too close, use arrows to force the enemy's momentum!" Seeing the ending of Gao Lan's almost annihilated army, the general Cao army, who rushed to rescue, immediately changed his combat intentions.
They surrounded Yanbei Cavalry far away and avoided fighting. Although Yanbei Cavalry's offensive was difficult to resist, no matter which direction Zhang Liao rushed in, he could not break through the encirclement of Cao's army.
During the entanglements, the number of Yanbei cavalry gradually decreased. Every charge would lead to fallen soldiers being surrounded and killed by Cao soldiers staring at them. They were not not brave enough, but they had exhausted their last little strength.
"General, we have three hundred cavalry left!"
When the day was about to dawn, Zhang Liao, who had fought in the middle of the night, was already in a mess, and the eight hundred warriors had lost more than half of them in the constant rush!
In the east, the rising sun has dyed the clouds particularly red, making the green trees on the mountain faintly bring golden light. At this time, Gong Ji should have arrived safely by the Wujiang River! Zhang Liao's eyes were calm and peaceful, just like the stars that were about to disappear.
"Warriors, charge towards the east, towards the place where the sun rises!" Zhang Liao raised his gun, and the red tassels on the gun had fallen off, leaving only the slightly curled and deformed light that was left with the tip of the gun.
This was the last charge. Every surviving Yanbei cavalry soldier knew that after a series of fights, no one had hope for a successful breakthrough.
The war horses neighed——the sound was shrill and harsh. Amid the thunderous sound of horse hooves, the war horses that had lost their strength continued to overturn their front hooves and fell down, while the other companions continued to move forward!
"Come on and block it, don't let Zhang Liao run away!" Cao Zhang, who had already calmed down, shouted loudly.
Zhang Liao is going to fight to the death. If he does not fight at this time, the enemy who is determined to die will really escape. If that is true, Cao Zhang, who is commanding this battle, will be truly ashamed.
"Those who block me will die!" Zhang Liao's guns rushed out again and again, sweeping away countless weapons that blocked the way. His gun stabbed hard on the shield of an enemy soldier. After a huge burst sound, the cowhide shield instantly turned into pieces flying in the air. The spear advanced and pierced into Chu's yellow armor without any obstruction. Cao Bing, who was stabbed to the vital point, immediately lowered his head. This was a battle of dying and death. The courage to die made Zhang Liao burst out with amazing combat power.
Almost at the same time, a severe pain came from Zhang Liao's left shoulder. It was a sharp sword. Cao Jun Sima, who was holding the hilt, showed a smug smile on his face.
"I want to kill you!" Before the enemy general could say this, Zhang Liao grabbed the blade with his left hand and pulled it hard. After cutting off a large piece of flesh on Zhang Liao's shoulder, the blade fell to the ground with a choke.
In the extremely surprised eyes of the enemy Sima, Zhang Liao's right pistol had already come out of the hole like a spiritual snake. The tip of the spear was as if it were as if it were a letter, and it flew into the enemy's face. The proud Cao Jun Sima's forehead immediately oozed out of the forehead and then fell down with his head.
"Shoot all!" Not far away, Cao Zhang's roar was heard.
Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Zhang Liao was still brave while fighting in close combat. Cao Zhang had no choice but to give orders to shoot and kill them regardless of the enemy.
For a moment, arrows flew like a flew. With the sound of locusts taking off, countless arrows crossed the twilight sky with shining trajectories, hitting the impact of Yanbei Cavalry camp like a storm.
The Yanbei Knight soldiers who were entangled in the battle on the outermost side were first shot. The same fate as them was Cao Bing, who obeyed orders and wanted to make meritorious contributions. Their identities were very different, but their results were the same. The soldiers who were caught in the arrow rolled on the cold land, and they had no chance to stand up again...
"General, be careful-!" Amid the rapid shouts, a personal soldier who was blocking Zhang Liao slowly fell down. An arrow that had passed through the gap was inserted into his neck, and blood flowed down the arrow shaft, dyeing a piece of clothes on his chest red.
Eighteen riders!
After being chased, Yanbei Cavalry finally broke out of the siege and arrived at the foot of Zhupin Mountain while being chased continuously, at this time, only eighteen cavalry were left beside Zhang Liao.
"General, please leave, let's stop here!" A Yanbei cavalry team with blood on their faces and lost their arms led to bite the sword with their teeth and pounced on Cao Bing who was chasing him.
Soon, the other seventeen cavalry also pulled their horses and turned around and rushed towards Cao Jun's yellow giant stream.
After crossing Zhupin Mountain, Wujiang is ahead, where Ling Tong's support can temporarily avoid the edge of Cao's army. However, if you trade the lives of 800 soldiers for peace, what is the meaning of even living?
Just as Zhang Liao was hesitating, the eighteen cavalry that rushed into the enemy formation were instantly swallowed by the torrent of Cao's army. In a faint way, Zhang Liao could only hear the last shout: General, you must live!
"Yes, if you want to survive, even if there are many difficulties, I will still live. As long as I don't want to die, no one can kill me!" Zhang Liao's face was full of tears. With his tears in his eyes, he saw an army in front of him slowly approaching.
"Go and rescue General Zhang Liao!" This was Ling Tong's voice. Why did he come? Shouldn't he be by the Wujiang River?
"Public record--!" At the last moment when his consciousness was gradually losing, Zhang Liao only saw countless shouting soldiers running past him. In front of them, there was a young and familiar figure.
This is a mountain with undulating mountains, and it is still ten miles away from the Wujiang River. After Zhang Liao left the city in the middle of the night to attract the attention of Cao's army, Ling Tong led the remaining soldiers to quietly escape from Tucheng from the other side. Because the besieged Cao soldiers wanted to hurry to support the central army, Ling Tong's breakthrough was quite smooth.
There were more than 2,000 soldiers who successfully arrived at the foot of Zhupin Mountain. If they continued to choose to advance east, they could reach Wujiang without any obstacles. After crossing this Huai River tributary, their situation would be very safe.
However, no one wants to do this.
Every time they went further, they could hear the fierce fighting and screams behind them...
"General, we won't leave! We don't want the chance of survival given by the death of our companions!" An old soldier in his forties stopped in front of Ling Tong and knelt on his knees. Then, two thousand soldiers stopped in unison. They turned around one after another, left their backs to the east, and to the front to the battlefield where they had just left.
Ling Tong looked at this sad scene, his eyes were filled with tears that had already filled with tears. There was gold under the knees of men, and there was tears that didn't flick easily. But if he really wanted to cry, why not cry once!
"Okay----- we won't leave anymore, we'll be waiting for General Zhang Liao and the others here!" Ling Tong ordered loudly.
The battle was in every corner. The dozens of cavalry who were chasing Zhang Liao were not expected to be resisted here. They instinctively retreated, but immediately collided with the troops following behind. Although Zhupin Mountain is not a high mountain, it also has a large slope between the ups and downs of the mountains. Cavalry had to rely on relatively low ridges to enter and exit. The chaos of the collision cost the Cao soldiers. The Cao soldiers who could not retreat were immediately ruthlessly chopped and killed hundreds of soldiers by Ling Tongjun.
However, this instantaneous change cannot change the entire battle situation, nor can it become the key to turning the defeat around.
Cao Zhang, who woke up, quickly re-adjusted his queue, and teams of cavalry advanced from various ridges in an orderly manner, surrounding the Lingtong infantry defending on the high hills.
Infantry defending on hills can have a greater support than the Gaixia Plain. As long as the commanding heights are guarded, Cao's soldiers must attack with their backs. Of course, in this way, Ling Tong and others will no longer have a retreat, because the low terrain is not suitable for infantry to defend.
During the siege and counter-encirclement, the fierce battle between close forces temporarily subsided, and the sunlight also scattered onto the ground through the green trees, mottled, like floating white clouds.
