Chapter 397: One dead and one wounded

At this time, Cao Hong actually had a fear of Cao Cao, he didn't expect his lord to be able to give such a ruthless order.

If he hadn't thought about it before, after all, Zhang Xiu was just a general, and he was also a general who was extremely greedy for life and afraid of death.

In troubled times, there are not many people like this who have died, but now the situation has become completely different, and Zhang Xiu has revealed that he has enough value.

As long as such a guy can use a little means, he will immediately become an extremely sharp war knife in the hands of the lord, and he will fight in all directions for the lord.

Could it be that even if Zhang Xiu is like this, his own lord will abandon it when he says he will abandon it, and he can't even give him the slightest chance?

Just when Cao Hong was a little confused, Cao Cao's voice like ten thousand years of cold ice suddenly sounded in his ears, and the coldness of the voice made Cao Hong can't help but tremble:

"Zilian, it's not that you are ruthless. But now Zhang Xiu's heart has already been, full of dissatisfaction. Even if this gives him a chance, not only will he not be grateful for in the future, but he will bite back hard as long as he has the opportunity! Do you dare to stay with such a person? ”

Cao Cao's rhetorical question shocked Cao Hong's heart, he knew that what Cao Cao said was right, Zhang Xiu was not their own brother after all, and he would not have the kind of tolerance between brothers to Cao Cao.

Today it can be said that Cao Cao single-handedly sent Zhang Xiu to death, once Zhang Xiu, the kid, walked out of the dead place alive, they must always be vigilant, Zhang Xiu bit them back.

Rather than doing this, it is better to kill Zhang Xiu today, together with Ma Chao, the general of the Jizhou Army, and then let Zhang Xiu die with dignity.

Thinking of this, Cao Hong nodded firmly at Cao Cao, turned around and ran towards his eldest brother Cao Ren.

When he conveyed Cao Cao's order to Cao Ren, Cao Ren was somewhat silent.

However, compared to Cao Hong, Cao Ren seemed a little more rational, he had already thought of what Cao Cao said, and after receiving Cao Cao's order, he quickly made up his mind.

Cao Ren took advantage of the battle between Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao, and quietly ordered his strong crossbowmen to start loading crossbow arrows immediately.

Thirty breaths later, he received an answer from his men that he had finished loading, and Cao Ren immediately ordered his strong crossbowmen to shoot the crossbow arrows in their hands.

For a while, nearly a hundred crossbow arrows overflowing with cold light shot towards Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao.

Not to mention Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao, it can be said that apart from Cao Cao and his subordinates Cao Ren and Cao Hong, it is impossible for anyone else to think of it.

The crossbow arrows like a storm surrounded Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao.

At this time, these two people had no intention of fighting any longer, and they all struggled to wave the weapons in their hands to protect themselves.

However, the speed and power of the crossbow arrows were so great that even if they had used all their strength, they still could not completely defend against all the crossbow arrows.

After a jingling sound, Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao both turned into blood gourds, but Ma Chao was slightly better than Zhang Xiu.

After all, Ma Chao's foundation is much more solid than Zhang Xiu's, and when he suddenly encounters danger, his reaction is faster than Zhang Xiu's.

At the most critical juncture, he chose to firmly protect the most lethal parts of his head, face, heart and mouth.

As for the rest of the body, he didn't pay so much attention, while Zhang Xiu chose to protect the whole body, and the difference between the two was immediately revealed after the rain of arrows.

Zhang Xiu was shot with five crossbow arrows all over his body, one of which hit his eyebrows.

After the rain of arrows, Zhang Xiu's body sitting on the horse was completely out of breath.

On the other hand, there is one more crossbow arrow on Ma Chao's body than Zhang Xiu, but the parts he was shot at were all in the limbs and lower abdomen.

After the rain of arrows, Ma Chao still had the strength to move his horse towards the army's army and flee, which was a little unexpected for Cao Ren and Cao Hong.

When they saw that Ma Chao was about to escape, Cao Ren and Cao Hong immediately decided that they were going to chase them out.

If Ma Chao is really allowed to escape, they and their lord will become the biggest joke in the eyes of the world!

Cao Ren and Cao Hong slapped their horses and killed Ma Chao, and they were determined to kill Ma Chao in front of the two armies before he fled back to his own army.

Such an abrupt change surprised all the generals who were fighting in front of the two armies, and they all chose to stop almost at the same time.

The generals of the coalition army were already extremely dissatisfied with Cao Cao and the entire Cao army at this time, and they did not expect Cao Cao to be such a ruthless and unrighteous person.

Zhang Xiu is his subordinate no matter what, he would choose to shoot his subordinates together with the enemy general, what else can't such a lord do?

As for the generals of the Jizhou army, they didn't have so much time to scold Cao Cao at this time, and they made the same choice almost at the same time, that is, to step forward to meet Ma Chao.

Just as Dian Wei and the others had just rushed a few steps forward, a figure like lightning overtook them, and an extremely familiar command came from their ears:

The generals listened to the order and immediately sent all the generals of the coalition army back to Ben Hou. Meng Qi, you don't have to worry about it, Ben Hou will go to answer it in person! ”

When they heard this voice, Dian Wei, Guan Yu and the others all looked at that person with some concern, because this person was none other than their lord Liu Yuan.

Although the current generals of the Jizhou Army are all good horses, Liu Yuan's Rushing Jade Kirin is the BMW of the BMW.

Now that Ben Xiao is under Liu Yuan's control, he has burst out with all his strength running, and in a short period of time, he actually threw out several horse bodies of Guan Yu and the others' war horses.

The lord went to pick up Ma Chao, which in itself was an extremely risky decision, and no one knew if this would be a trap set by Cao Cao for the lord.

They very much wanted to stop the lord and go to pick up Ma Chao who was fleeing back in his place.

But because of the war horse, no one can stop Liu Yuan now.

In everyone's worried eyes, Liu Yuan quickly approached Ma Chao, and soon his war horse was less than five horses away from Ma Chao's war horse.

At this moment, Cao Ren, who was chasing Ma Chao, suddenly shot several rays of light in his eyes, and he knew that this time he had caught a big fish.

When Ma Chao turned around and ran away just now, he immediately realized that this was a perfect opportunity.

So while he was chasing Ma Chao, he gave an order to his crossbowmen to start the second round of reloading.

Now it is estimated that the strong crossbowmen under his command have completed the second round of reloading.

As long as he waits for Liu Yuan to get closer, he may even be shot into a hedgehog by his crossbowmen with Ma Chao with his order!
