"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He shouted angrily at the same time, glared at each other, and strangled together again. After dozens of rounds, the two sides were inseparable. The soldiers under their respective commands shouted and cheered for their own coaches, and their voices were hoarse, but they still did not mean to lower their voices in the slightest.

Zhang He's hands trembled a little when he tightened, and his chest kept rising and falling, showing signs of Zhang He's tiredness. Zhang He didn't expect that Xiahou Yuan's strength seemed to be even higher than the rumors, if it weren't for Xiahou Yuan's passive defense last night and didn't get rest, I'm afraid Zhang He would have been defeated at this time.

Xiahou Yuan was not much better at this time, it seemed that he had been suppressing Zhang He to fight, only Xiahou Yuan knew that the strength in his body had begun to appear empty, and the sequelae of last night's exhaustion began to be revealed. Xiahou Yuan stabilized his breath and tried his best to lengthen his breath, wanting to spend more time with Zhang He. Half an hour has passed since the two fought, and if they can drag on for another hour and a half, it will not be difficult for the soldiers under their command to recover their strength, defeat Zhang He, and even capture the overlap. After all, Xiahou Yuan has a few more soldiers and horses than Zhang He.

After a long battle, Zhang He naturally discovered Xiahou Yuan's plan. Victory or defeat on the battlefield is not the work of one person, nor is it the fault of one person. Zhang He would not have wasted the fighter plane created by several sneak attacks last night in order to kill Xiahou Yuan to justify his name.

Zhang He looked at Xiahou Yuan, who was still stretching and adjusting his breath, pulled the reins lightly, turned his back to Xiahou Yuan and shouted: "Xiahou Yuan, even if you can't tell the difference between high and low, then the two of us are one point higher than the duel!" Hahaha..."

Zhang He laughed arrogantly, not only covering up his weak breath, but also ruling out the impact of his defeat to Xiahou Yuan's morale.

"The three armies obey the order! Pounce! ”

"Kill!"

Zhang He didn't give Xiahou Yuan any chance to speak, and after shouting, he shouted at the army behind him and gave an order. The army, which had long been excited by the majestic posture of its own commander galloping on the battlefield, roared in the direction of the enemy army like a fierce beast out of the cage after Zhang He gave the order.

Xiahou Yuan's face turned dark, it seemed that Zhang He was not carried away, and his plan failed. Even so, the morale of the Jizhou army at this time was much better than that of Fang Cai, although it was not as good as the morale of the enemy, but it was barely able to fight.

"Array!"

"Drink!" The soldiers and horses of Jizhou shouted loudly, boomed, took a step forward neatly, and sent soldiers to firmly anchor themselves at the front of the military formation like stone piers.

"The cavalry detoured, throwing out the chaos!" Seeing this, Zhang He gave an order with a calm face. Xiahou Yuan's formation was decent, and behind the military formation that seemed to be intending to defend to the death, there were endless killing opportunities hidden. On the plains, neither side of the battle was able to use any strategy. The only way to defeat the enemy is to fight head-on.

The cavalry attacked from the rear, divided into two armies, left and right, and rushed towards the flanks of Xiahou Yuan's army. Zhang He came to the front of the infantry formation, dismounted and landed, stepped forward, stood with a gun and shouted: "Warriors! For the sake of the Lord and for the people behind us! Today, Ben will accompany you to break his Cao army. Kill! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Zhang He roared, kicked his legs, and took the lead out of the military formation. The soldiers behind him did not hesitate at all, and followed Zhang He to charge the enemy.

The scorching sun of late summer sprinkled the scorching sunlight on his body, making the entire battlefield sweltering. From a distance, the air in the battlefield seemed to be scorched by the scorching sun, and it became a little empty. The soldiers and horses of Bingzhou and Youzhou, who launched the charge, broke through Xiahou Yuan's army formation and rushed into the enemy. In the Xiahou Yuan army array, there are also many chariots for siege.

Although it did not play the greatest role in the siege warfare, it could also pose a huge threat to Zhang He's soldiers and horses.

In the chariot, the spears that kept piercing kept harvesting the soldiers who accidentally approached. The soldiers under Zhang He's command did not seem to be afraid of death, and after being accidentally forced near the chariot by the enemy, they did not care about their own comfort and launched an attack on the chariot.

"Oil bombs! Above! ”

Zhang He snorted coldly and ordered. Perhaps for the average army, the chariot is incomparably powerful. However, under the oil bomb developed by Ma Jun, the deterrent power of the combat vehicle on the battlefield was lost. The soldier approaching the chariot escaped from his waist two fist-sized clay bottles and threw them at the chariot. With a bang, the oil bomb shattered, and tung oil spilled all over the chariot's hull.

Then the archers who were good at shooting in the rear army, who were protected, raised the fire in their hands, aimed at the chariot and shot an arrow. There was a loud bang, and the chariot burst into flames. The huge flames not only enveloped the chariot, but the Jizhou soldiers surrounding the chariot panicked. And the Jizhou soldiers, who hid in the chariot and caused a lot of casualties to Zhang He's army, were roasted by the scorching flames and screamed.

The soldier could not bear the scorching heat, rushed out of the chariot, and was ignited by the raging flames above the chariot, and rolled in the chaos of the army.

On weekdays, the oil bomb is lit and then thrown into the enemy's army, but at this time, the battlefield does not have time for the soldiers to retreat and light it before throwing the oil bomb. In desperation, Zhang He made this decision and took the risk of igniting the archer fire. But now it seems that the effect is still good.

Xiahou Yuan, who retreated into the military formation, seemed to be very tired, and with the support of his personal guards, he slowly leaned towards the rear army. But even if Xiahou Yuan was tired to death, he did not stop issuing military orders. Xiahou Yuan's face was covered with cold sweat, and his face was pale.

"General! Withdraw! The morale of the army is getting lower and lower, and it is impossible to fight anymore! ”

The deputy general hugged Xiahou Yuan and said with an anxious face. On the battlefield at this time, it seems that Zhang He's soldiers and horses are everywhere. Originally, Xiahou Yuan's command could temporarily stabilize the situation, but after the chariot was ignited, both the enemy army and his own army seemed to have begun to break away from the command of the general, and it became more and more chaotic.

Jizhou soldiers and horses, whether they are generals or soldiers, are in a similar state to Xiahou Yuan at this time, because they did not rest last night, and under the sweltering weather, their physical strength is lost very quickly.

Xiahou Yuan looked back at the battlefield, sighed helplessly and said, "Order, retreat!" ”

The adjutant general received the order with a happy face and a fist. Xiahou Yuan's command was Cao Cao's elite, and even when he was tired and confused, under the command of Xiahou Yuan's deputy general, the retreat was extremely orderly. In addition, after another warrior voluntarily broke off, he stubbornly stopped the fierce Zhang He's army.

Five thousand battles and eight thousand, Zhang He won a big victory! The strategy of exhausting the army and the serial plan made Xiahou Yuan tired of coping with it and failed miserably.

Although 5,000 soldiers and horses fled south, Zhang He did not immediately pursue, but ate the 2,000 or so soldiers and horses left behind before making plans. As for the remaining 1,000 Cao Cao soldiers and horses, they were killed in the chaotic battle.

"General, don't you pursue?"

Zhang He looked at the soldiers who were still cleaning the battlefield with satisfaction, and said with a little meaning: "What is the pursuit? Such a big victory is enough for us to be crowned with officials. ”

The adjutant general was stunned when he heard this, no! Aren't the generals of the past a little anxious for quick success? Why is it so indifferent today? The enemy army was defeated, and at this time the pursuit expanded the results, if Cao Cao's general Xiahou Yuan could be killed or captured, wouldn't it be a great achievement?

Thinking to no avail, the deputy general shook his head helplessly and left alone to deal with the aftermath.

When Xiahou was already defeated, Zhang He had already sent scouts to spread the news of Xiahou Yuan's defeat to Banxian County, which had changed hands overnight.

"Bodian, General Zhang He has sent news that Xiahou Yuan has been defeated!"

"Big defeat?" Min Chun was stunned, a little incredulous and asked, "But is it true?" Xiahou Yuan is a general under Cao Cao, both civil and military. Even if you lose, you won't be defeated so easily, and it's only for a day or two. ”

Geng Wu chuckled and said, "That's true, the news from General Zhang He's personal guards just now, the defeated Xiahou Yuan led five thousand demoralized troops to flee south, and it seems that they intend to retreat to Banxian. ”

"Five thousand routs?" Min Chun's eyes widened, and he said a little angrily: "Wen Wei has been a general for many years, and he believes such news? Five thousand? Still a rout? Why don't you say that the remnants of the army are more suitable! ”

Seeing this, Geng Wu was a little amused. After Fang Cai learned the news himself, he had the same reaction as Min Chun. Geng Wu stepped forward, patted Min Chun's shoulder gently, handed the information from Zhang He to Min Chun, and motioned for Min Chun to look at it himself.

Min Chun took the information suspiciously and slowly opened it. After a while, Min Chun shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It seems that it is really a 5,000-strong army. After that, Min Chun was stunned again, and then said extremely excitedly: "Wenwei, this is a good opportunity!" Xiahou Yuan must not know that the county has been broken at this time, and the two of us can take it back and kill Xiahou Yuan, wouldn't it be a great achievement? ”

Geng Wu also nodded excitedly when he heard this, but he didn't be happy for a while, Geng Wu frowned, and said worriedly: "I'm afraid it's not the time to kill Xiahou Yuan." ”

"Why?"

Bodian thought. At this time, the lord was just fighting a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao's troops were just to take the opportunity to take Qingzhou. Whether it is the lord or Cao Cao, I am afraid that they don't want to offend each other at this time. Xiahou Yuan is a general under Cao Cao, and he is also Cao Cao's younger brother, if the two of us make a claim and kill Xiahou Yuan here, wouldn't it be a revenge between the lord and Cao Cao? ”

"If Cao Cao's head is hot, the army is exhausted, and he wants to fight with the lord, wouldn't the two of us spoil the lord's good deeds?"

Geng Wu said so, and Min Chun, who had reacted, was shocked and felt a chill down his spine, and said with palpitations: "Fortunately, Wenwei reminded us, otherwise we would have made a big mistake." ”

Geng Wu smiled lightly, shook his head indifferently, and said with a meaningful smile: "Although you can't kill it, you can capture it alive!" As he spoke, Geng Wu also swung his fist fiercely in front of his chest, as if he was twelve points sure.

When Min Chun heard this, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said happily: "Yes, yes!" Alive! Not only can it destroy Cao Cao's 5,000 troops, but it can also capture Cao Cao's generals and cut off one of his fingers. Even when the lord and Cao Cao fight in the future, it may be of great use. ”

The two looked at each other, both smiling, and their expressions were full of calculation.
