Chapter 573 The Battle of Guandu (2)

There were continuous emergencies on three sides of the east, south and west. Cao Zhi, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and others naturally focused on their relative anxiety, and Cao Hong's side was still commanded by Guan Kun, the general of Yuan's army.

Guan Kun was in his early forties and had been in Yuan's family for a long time. Yuan Jun was considered an older general. In terms of qualifications, he should have been a senior general, but now he still holds a low position as a general, which shows that he does not have much ability.

Despite this, Guan Kun was still ashamed. This time he was responsible for seducing Cao Hong, thinking that it was his last chance to perform and promote. Whether he could make a fortune in the future and enter the central group of Yuan's generals was based on this battle.

Although the forces of the troops were not as strong as those of the east and west sides, Guan Kun's soldiers attacked very fiercely and the battle was extremely fierce.

After all, even if the offensive was not strong, the soldiers of the Yuan army in Hebei were all elite troops after years of training. With their strong individual combat capabilities, they still posed a great threat to the Cao army and forced them from under the Tucheng to the Tucheng.

However, the deeper the further the Cao army's resistance became, the stronger the counterattacks encountered. As the struggle between the two sides intensified, the number of soldiers killed and injured below gradually increased.

According to the plan of Yuan Shang and Ju Su, the war was almost the same as the ones, and he could retreat, but Guan Kun still did not issue an order to retreat. He had this kind of luck in his mind. If he really entered the city, defeated Cao Hong, recovered the strongholds in the north, and occupied the north of the city, he would definitely receive Yuan Shang's commendation after he returned.

But he forgot one thing, that is, his own abilities are far inferior to Cao Hong.

Guan Kun is also a long-standing battle formation. He led the way, braved the rain of arrows and rushed to the front of the fierce battle between the two sides, commanding the troops and horses to attack, while commanding the soldiers to press forward.

Cao Hong stood on the top of Tucheng. Seeing Guan Kun commanding his soldiers getting closer and closer to Tucheng, his eyes turned, he thought to himself, "Come on, please take me to fight the horse quickly!"

Seeing that Cao Hong was about to send troops, the deputy general hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him and said, "General Cao, the Prime Minister has an order to prevent you from going out to fight..."

"Get out!" Cao Hong waved his hand violently, pushed the general away, wrapped in the battle, and headed straight down.

At this moment, Guan Kun was commanding Yuan’s army to climb the city. Suddenly, a shout of killing sounded, but Cao Hong led a group of troops out of the city and headed straight for Guan Kun.

When Guan Kun saw Cao Hong's clothes and armor, he knew that his identity was good. He was overjoyed and rushed towards Cao Hong at the moment.

When the two horses intersected, Guan Kun took the lead in attacking, suddenly shot out a knife, stabbing Cao Hong's body continuously.

Cao Hong easily blocked Guan Kun's offensive, laughed and took a knife to fight back. Without nonsense, he just made a heavy slash.

Guan Kun hurriedly took the knife and heard a loud clanging sound, and suddenly felt his arms numb. He cried in his heart that this guy had such a great deal of strength.

They fought together. The two soldiers and horses fighting around automatically made way out of the same place, allowing the two to fight one by one, and shouted loudly at the same time to cheer for their respective commanders.

Although Guan Kun has average abilities, his strength is not weak. Although he is not as good as the battle with Cao Hong, he is still a match for the opponent and it is difficult to decide the winner in a short time.

The two of them fought thrillingly, and their soldiers were not willing to be lonely. They first cheered for the release of the main general, and then cursed at the other party. Then, the soldiers on both sides stood together again.

Although Yuan's army had strong combat power, it did not have an advantage in terrain after all. The dark crossbows and arrows on the top of the city were all the help of Cao's army. After fighting for a while, the disadvantage became more and more obvious.

Guan Kun could not fight for a long time, and there was no way to deal with Cao Hong. While beating him, he was secretly looking at the soldiers around him. His soldiers could no longer support him and suffered heavy casualties. If he continued to fight, he would obviously fall into an extremely dangerous situation. At this moment, Guan Kun couldn't help but regret that he shouldn't have been greedy for merit and made a rash progress.

Facing Cao Hong, he was obviously not an opponent. He had no choice but to slash his horse and turn away, but he did not retreat in time and was slashed hard on his back, and blood flowed out.

Seeing Guan Kun escape, Cao Hong sneered and chased after him with a knife.

The deputy general behind him rushed to the side and dissuaded Cao Hong: "General, don't chase him deeply. The Prime Minister has an order. Zhuo, you should stick to him and don't fight without authorization..."

"Get out!" Cao Hong raised his hand and interrupted the deputy general's words. The deputy general didn't say it, but he was so angry that he was full of anger. He had made a good contribution yesterday, but everyone refused to admit it. He also said that Yuan's army was cheating. They were winning a battle, and I was cheating when I said it today. If you say it, you have to kill the enemy's chief general. After taking it back, you can see what else they have to say?

Thinking of this, Cao Hong hurriedly carried his sword to chase him, but Yuan Jun had already protected Guan Kun to retreat, and only a few cavalrymen broke the enemy to stop him. However, they could only make Cao Hong's opponents cleanly and neatly dealt with by Cao Hong.

Guan Kun was bleeding from behind, and ran and shouted loudly at the Yuan army soldiers: "Retreat, the whole army should retreat quickly!"

As soon as the general ran away, the soldiers below continued to fight, and they followed him desperately retreated to the outside, just in response to the words of defeat, the soldiers pushed and squeezed each other, running wildly, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Cao Hong followed Yuan Jun immediately, chasing him and shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me and kill Yuan Jun to avenge the first lord!"

Yuan Jun's defeat was very complete and ugly. Despite this, the group of marches led by Guan Kun successfully escaped from the battlefield.

Logically, after the battle was like this, Cao Hong should have had a good deal and then he stopped, but he refused to let it go. Perhaps in order to breathe a sigh of relief with Cao Zhi and others, he led his army to pursue Guan Kun desperately, but he refused to let it go.

Seeing that he had chased after several miles, a forest of official roads appeared in a distance. Guan Kun and others were in a panic and hurriedly rushed inside. Cao Hong followed closely, but not long after entering the woods, he heard a neighing sound, but suddenly a tripping horsesso tripped several cavalrymen in front of Cao Hong's army to the ground. After the horse fell, he lifted the person on his back and left the ground without saying a word.

"She!" Cao Hong hurriedly stopped and frowned.

He has been living on the battlefield for many years and has rich experience. When he saw this, he could immediately figure it out that someone set up an ambush on the road, and he could think of it without guessing it. The other party must be Yuan Jun.

In an instant, the cold sweat behind Cao Hong was a little flowing out. At this moment, two plates of killing suddenly shook the sky, and countless Yuan soldiers rushed out from the side of the road. Then, there were sounds of horse hooves in front of him, but hundreds of elite cavalry rushed towards him.

"Oh no!" Cao Hong screamed in a low voice and shouted loudly: "Everyone will fight! Fight!"

Without him calling, Cao's army had already fought with Yuan Jun on both sides of the woods.

This battle was so dark that the sky and the earth were dark. At the beginning, the Cao army could still hold on, but the Yuan army's troops gathered more and more. Later, the Cao army was basically all broken up, either killed or exiled. Looking around, the densely packed Yuan army soldiers were all covered.

Cao Hong fought bloody battles, led a few elite confidants to turn around and open a road of life, heading straight to the Tucheng. At this moment, he realized that Cao Zhi, Xiahou Ba and others were telling the truth last night in the commander's tent. Yuan's army was indeed having tricks to attack the north, but he was angry and confused for a moment. He did not go to heart, and even violated Cao Zhi's military orders privately.

But Cao Hong was the few remaining generals in Cao's army. Although he was ambushed, he still fought a bloody road. He did not dare to stop and returned straight to Tucheng. This time he had to listen to the Prime Minister and the others.

Unfortunately, once a person goes wrong, there is no chance to go back on his word, and Yuan Shang will not give Cao Hong this opportunity.

On the way back, a army of Biao had already robbed him of his return, waiting for Cao Hong to fall into the trap.

The two leading generals were Gao Lan and Gan Ning of Yuan Jun.

Seeing Cao Hong leading the defeated army, Gao Lan's mouth raised high, revealing white teeth, and a cruel sneer appeared on his face.

"General Cao Zilian, you are in a hurry. Where are you trying to go?"

Seeing that his way back was blocked, Cao Jun couldn't help but look desperate on his face.

When Cao Hong looked at Gao Lan, a feeling of sadness suddenly arose in his heart. As one of the four pillars of Hebei, how could Cao Hong not recognize him?

He gritted his teeth and said, "Gaolan!"

Gao Lan laughed and said, "I am honored, I didn't expect that you can recognize me."

"Go! Fight with them!" Cao Hong was helpless at this moment and could only hope to fight another way out. His soldiers and horses also knew this truth, and then grinned and rushed towards Yuan Jun.

However, Gao Lan and Zhang Yan waited for their leisure. This Biao army was all Wuji Camp and Huishuang Camp. They first climbed the elite in the camp. I would like to forgive Cao Hong and others how they could defeat him at the end of their strength. In just a short while, they beat Cao Hong's army to howl and run away with their heads in their arms.

It was probably a moment before the battle on the field came to an end. Looking at the official road, the bodies of Cao Jun were everywhere, while Cao Hong was covered in blood. He stood in place and looked at the other party coldly. He sat down on his horse and was shot dead by the crossbow that had entered the camp first. At this moment, he could only fight in the foot.

Looking around for a while, Gao Lan slowly dropped the sword in his hand and smiled and said, "No one is left."

Gan Ning shrugged casually and pointed at Cao Hong and said, "Who said that, isn't there another one?"

Gao Lan nodded and said, "Yeah, it's a big fish." After that, he licked his lips and smiled, "Leave this to me!"

After saying that, he was about to move forward, but when Gan Ning raised his hand, he suddenly pulled him, and said, "Sorry, this big fish should be my!"

“…………”

Gao Lan was shocked when he heard this and said, "I am the one who is surnamed Gan, how dare you compete with me for me?"

Gan Ning smiled and shook her head and said, "It's not that you are robbing me of me, I'm afraid you can't beat him."

Gao Lan was stunned when he heard this and said with a smile: "Fart, what can you do if a defeated general at the end of his strength? You are clearly trying to steal my credit!"

Gan Ning smiled and said, "So what if you rob it? Who stipulates that his head is yours?"

Gao Lan was furious when he heard this: "Bastard, you have just defected to your lord for a few years, and you dare to talk to me like this? You are against you! I am the lord's direct general. I have made countless contributions to the south and the north. When I conquer the world for you, you are still a thief in the Yangtze River!"

Gan Ning curled his lips disdainfully and said, "Stop using these great principles to suppress me. I am now the commander of the Hebei Navy Army, and my identity is not inferior to you~! I have decided to take this person today. If you are not convinced, I will live by my ability!"

Gao Lan frowned: "What? What do you mean? Do you want to tell me about the winner or lose?"

Gan Ning smiled and said, "I'm afraid you won't dare!"

Gao Lan pulled the horse and set off his stance, saying, "Okay! Come! Come on! Come on! Those who are afraid of you are not the General of Hebei. Come on, come on, you and I will live or die!"

Gan Ning smiled, waved the tiger-headed knife, and said, "Okay, it's interesting! Let me see today, what kind of ability do you, the Hebei General back then, have been respected by the lord for so long!"

The two of them faced the top of the line, and they were very likely to compete for Cao Hong's first-level competition.

At this critical moment, a soldier came to the two of them sweating profusely and whispered: "Two generals, stop fighting, it's meaningless."

Gao Lan and Gan Ning turned their heads together, looked at him and said, "What?"

The Yuan soldier swallowed gently and whispered: "Two generals, don't rob it, Cao Hong, commit suicide..."
