Chapter 126: Counterattack
Huang Zhong shot down Cao Ang with an arrow, and Lin Feng and the others rushed over. In order to rob Cao Ang, the knights of the Cao army also had to restrain their mounts and turn around to fight with them. The two sides rode their horses and repeatedly rushed to kill, slashing with knives, stabbing with spears, ramming with horses, and attacking by all means. Several Cao army knights rushed to Cao Ang's side, turned over and dismounted, and wanted to help Cao Ang on horseback, Huang Zhong shot several arrows in succession, shot those knights down one after another, and grabbed Cao Ang's side.
Seeing Cao Ang's danger, the knight of Cao Jun was so anxious that he rushed to the rescue, the two sides were mixed together, Huang Zhong swung his knife and slashed several people in one breath, but he still couldn't get close to Cao Ang, but was stabbed twice. Huang Zhong was furious, roared sharply, slashed left and right, dozens of people fought together, inseparable, and screams came and went.
Po Xiang, Cao Cao looked at Sun Ce who was more than ten steps away in a cold sweat. He knew why Sun Ce dared to use more than ten horsemen to meet him, and he took the initiative to attack. These more than ten people are not ordinary soldiers, at least Dian Wei and Huang Zhong are not, they are peerless generals, the kind that can be used as ten. He didn't know Huang Zhong, but he felt sorry for Dian Wei. Dian Wei was originally a subordinate of Zhao Chong, and he went out with Xiahou Yuan, and he was supposed to be Xiahou Yuan's subordinate, but now he has become Sun Ce's personal guard.
"Miaocai, you're too proud." Cao Cao sighed lightly and shook his head regretfully.
The fierce battle on the hillside quickly attracted Yuan Shu's attention. Yuan Shu sat on horseback and saw clearly, seeing more than ten horsemen coming from the east and rushing straight to the small hill where Cao Cao was, and the two figures who rushed to the top of the slope looked very similar to Sun Ce and the guards around him, it was estimated that Sun Ce came. Although he was very puzzled about how Sun Ce came to save him and how he could only bring these few people, he was still very excited to see Cao Cao being entangled by Sun Ce.
"Sun Lang is here, Sun Lang is here." Yuan Shuqi rode his horse and trotted in the formation, raising his knife and shouting. "Sun Lang has defeated the opponent, reinforcements will arrive immediately, work hard! Step up your game! After a while, he shouted: "Kill Cao Cao, reward a thousand gold, and seal the marquis!" ”
The soldiers of the Yuan army who were fighting couldn't see the situation outside, and they didn't know whether what Yuan Shu said was true or false, so they shouted along.
"Kill Cao Cao, reward a thousand gold, and seal the marquis!"
"Kill Cao Cao, reward a thousand gold, and seal the marquis!"
For a time, the morale was like a rainbow, and the sound of killing shook the sky. Cao Chun, who was running to harass and wanted to find a gap to rush into the formation, killed Yuan Shu, saw that they avoided one after another, and Cao Chun, who commanded the battle, turned around when he heard the sound, and saw that there was a mess on the hillside, and two figures broke out of the formation, and they were about to rush to Cao Cao, so they were taken aback, and immediately turned their horses back.
Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he saw this, and raised his knife and shouted. "Kill Cao Cao—"
Lei Bo of the front army was the first to respond, beat the war drums, began to change formations, switched to an attack formation, and advanced to the left side of the hillside. Chen Lan, who was in the rear, also sped up, bypassing Yuan Shu's central army and outflanking him from the other side.
Cao Chun led dozens of horsemen to rush to the foot of the hillside, and saw that Cao Ang was supported by two knights, his face was covered with blood, and an arrow was inserted in his chest, swaying, his face was pale, and Huang Zhong was like a tiger, roaring like thunder, seeing that he was about to rush to Cao Ang, he didn't dare to slack off, rode his horse and stabbed down the two horsemen, broke through the obstruction of Lin Feng and others, rushed into the battle circle, leaned over and lifted Cao Ang on horseback, and rode his horse to break through and run up the hillside.
Huang Zhong shouted regret, slashed several times in one breath, forced away the Cao Jun knights beside him, bent his bow and arrows, and shot three arrows in a row.
"Whoosh!" Three feathered arrows off the string. The two guards beside Cao Chun heard the sound of strings, one swung his sword, the other raised his shield, and each blocked a feather arrow, but they could only watch as the last feather arrow flew in front of their eyes and went straight to Cao Chun's heart.
"Poof!" Cao Chun was hit by an arrow in the back, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the mane of the war horse red. He insisted on rushing in front of Cao Cao, leaned over and put Cao Ang down, and he also slipped off the horse, lying on the ground, motionless.
Cao Cao was shocked and hurriedly raised his hand to order. "Withdraw!"
The knights of the Cao army helped Cao Chun and Cao Ang, turned their horses' heads, hugged Cao Cao, quickly left the battlefield, and galloped away.
Sun Ce rushed to the top of the slope and scolded Cao Cao's back, but he was helpless. A two-legged man can't catch up with a four-legged horse, and even an archer like Huang Zhong can only sigh with admiration. Under the heavy protection of the knights, Cao Cao, who was five short statures, could only see a faint shadow, and he couldn't see clearly at all.
Then, Yuan Shu also rushed to the top of the slope, looked at Cao Cao, who had already drifted away, leaving only a little back, and laughed loudly. "Cao Shorty, there is a kind of don't run, see that Naigong doesn't trample on your ugly face. Haha, I can't imagine that you have today, happy, happy! ”
Sun Ce had a black line on his head, reached out to pull out the feather arrow embedded in the nail leaf, pulled out one and scolded in his heart. You are so happy, Lao Tzu almost lost his life in order to save you.
"Boy, he is worthy of being Sun Wentai's son, fierce enough!" Yuan Shu didn't notice Sun Ce's unhappiness at all, and he pressed Sun Ce's shoulder and shook it vigorously. "Hehe, I'm here to save you, aren't you grateful. You don't have to take it personally, that's what I'm supposed to do. Your father has given you over to me, and I can't watch you being bullied by that dwarf. Hey, why is your face so ugly, you can't blame me for being late, right? Alas, you know, the dwarf is very scheming, and I guess he's going to attack me halfway, so I'll have to be careful......"
Sun Ce was very surprised. Yuan Shu ventured out of the camp just to save me?
"General, did you hear from me?"
"Your message?" Yuan Shu was confused. "When? What did they say? I didn't receive it. He suddenly remembered something, turned around and waved his hand. Search for me, it must have been intercepted by that dwarf. ”
Lei Bo immediately sent people to search, and soon found the two bodies. When Sun Ce saw it, his heart twitched. Cao Cao had planned it a long time ago, Yuan Shu didn't hear from him at all, this traitorous male is cunning enough.
"General, can your subordinates still fight?"
"Absolutely." Yuan Shu triumphantly stretched out his hand and pointed at the part of the slope. "It's the best part of my team, and I can absolutely trust it. This is Lei Bo, and the one in the distance is Chen Lan, all of whom are my old subordinates. ”
"Then don't delay. Lou Gui led 10,000 Nanyang soldiers and was attacking my camp, Gongjin was still holding on, so we immediately went to rescue him. ”
"Lou Gui? Nanyang County Soldiers? ”
"Yes, not only the soldiers of Nanyang County, Lou Gui has also gathered a lot of Nanyang heroes, and their strength is not weak." The more Sun Ce thought about it, the more scared he became. He had roughly guessed the truth. This is a big hole at all, and the mastermind behind the scenes is Cao Cao, not only Yuan Shu is in Cao Cao's calculations, but even Lou Gui has become Cao Cao's pawn. If it weren't for Cao Cao's underestimation of the enemy, he forcibly attacked successfully, and Cao Cao would be the only one who had the last laugh today.
Alright, old thief, since you didn't kill me, let you taste my stakes.
"General, let's go to support Gong Jin."
Yuan Shu looked at the battlefield in the distance, then at Sun Ce, and said with concern: "Bo Fu, you are injured, don't you bandage it?" ”
"There's no time." Sun Ce waved his hand. "Defeat Lou Gui, capture the He family manor, and then bandage it in the He family manor."
"Good! That's the joy! Yuan Shu was overjoyed and agreed repeatedly. After fighting in the middle of the night, I finally defeated the dwarf and avenged the arrow, and I must get drunk today. ”
