Chapter 494: Provocation and Counterattack

At this time, a pro-soldier quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words to Xu Huang, Xu Huang's face changed greatly, and when he waved his hand to let the pro-soldier go away, he looked up again, and was much less angry, but his face was full of murder.

"Since that's the case, then I, Xu Huang, will come tomorrow to learn the skills of the two of you! Back to camp! Xu Huang ordered in a cold voice, and the 30,000 Cao army slowly retreated.

Gao Ran and Zhang He glanced at each other, and said with some doubts: "When did he, a madman Xu, talk so well, and retreat when he said he would retreat?" ”

Zhang He frowned and thought for a while: "I should know that Xuchang has been breached, and it is getting late at this time, and there is not much difference between one day earlier and one day later." He had always been cautious, and he must have wanted to know more about the specific situation. But anyway, the soldiers have worked hard for many days, and it would be nice to have a little rest tonight! ”

Gao Ran nodded and said loudly: "Retreat five miles back and camp!" ”

There was nothing to do all night, but it was a rare peaceful time.

The sky was bright, and in a plain area between Yingyin County and Xuchang, two ironclad men and horses faced each other here, with high morale and boundless spirit. Like two fierce tigers meeting head-on, staring at each other, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Gao Ran and Zhang He are famous generals in Hebei, Xu Huang is also a powerful army, and the people and horses under his command are elite divisions, the blades are chilly, the intention of killing is pervasive, the atmosphere is depressing, and it seems that there is a boulder pressing on everyone's hearts.

Zhang He looked at the battle formation opposite, his eyes were filled with a strong battle intent, and he whispered to Gao Lan: "General, this Xu Huang is worthy of being a general under Cao Cao, the army is neat, the morale is high, and the number is better than ours, if it is hard fighting, it is estimated that there will be heavy casualties, it is better to outwit." ”

Gao Ran knew that Zhang He was both civil and military, full of strategy, nodded and said, "Can you have a clever plan?" ”

Zhang He said: "It's not a clever plan, but it should be able to close the gap caused by the number of people on both sides." ”

Zhang He looked ahead and continued: "General, you see, Xu Huang's army of 30,000 people, the shield soldiers are in front, the archers are in the center, the left wing is 1,000 cavalry, and the right wing is 2,000 spearmen. General Hou Cheng was the original team of Bingzhou under the command of Lu Bu that year, after a long battle, he could lead a thousand archers, and let General Yin Li lead 2,000 spearmen to attack Xu Huang's cavalry, and then he led 500 men and horses to block Cao's spearmen, and the Chinese army was a general and Gao Ping, Gao Huai three generals sat in town, presumably in time can not win, but also undefeated! ”

After hearing this, Gao Ran immediately understood that this plan was feasible, of course, all of this was based on the fact that Zhang He was able to block the opponent's 2,000 spearmen with 500 people, which was a very dangerous step. However, Zhang He is a calm person, and being able to put it forward is obviously measured, which shows that he is at least fifty percent sure.

"Well, once the war starts, it's going to be hard! Take care! Gao Ran suddenly had a strong respect for this old colleague.

Zhang He smiled: "Thank you, General!" However, Xu Huang's martial arts are extraordinary, and the general will have to entangle him at that time. ”

In fact, Gao Ran also has this plan in his heart. Xu Huang is good at martial arts and calm, if he is allowed to break through in his own battle formation, it will cause a lot of chaos, and more importantly, Gao Ran has not encountered a powerful opponent for a long time, this Xu Huang is just right!

"However, I still want to let the Kill kill their prestige!" Zhang He suddenly added.

Gao Ran looked before, and saw that a general suddenly rushed out of Cao Junzhong, and shouted loudly: "I heard that Gao Ran is a famous general in the world, known as the four court pillars of Hebei. ”

Cheng He said politely, but the tone was particularly cold and arrogant, especially when he mentioned "Hebei Siting Pillar". Everyone knows that Gao Ran and Zhang He were originally generals under Yuan Shao of Hebei, and they once rebelled against Yuan and Tou Cao, but now they are under Liu Yong's account, in fact, they are saying that Gao Ran is disloyal and unjust, which is a naked slap in the face.

Gao Ran and Zhang He's faces suddenly turned cold, the killing intent in their eyes was awe-inspiring, and the pro-soldiers next to them instantly changed their faces and were furious.

Gao Ping was about to go to battle behind him, but was stopped by Gao Lan: "Respect for martial arts, and slow." This Cheng He, I have heard of it, I have a little ability, I can be the first to come out, presumably Xu Chu wants to hit our morale, we not only want to win, but also win beautifully, although your martial arts can win, but it will take some means, just let General Jun go and kill him for me! ”

Zhang He immediately received the order, his legs were slightly forced, and he immediately flew out.

"Your status is low, and you are not worthy of our General Gao's action at all, so Zhang He will weigh you as a catty!" Zhang He immediately sneered and said loudly.

At this time, Xu Huang was a little frowned, he expected that Gao Ran would not fight immediately, and would only send a young general to come, but he didn't expect it to be Zhang He to fight, Zhang He knew it, although Cao Cao was not reused, but his own martial arts were extraordinary, and it seemed that he was going to suffer. But the general has already gone to war, if he is called back, it is equivalent to directly admitting that he can't do it, as a general, no one can afford to lose this face, at this time, even if he knows that he is dead, he must fight!

Cheng He said angrily: "What about Zhang He, look at me to behead you and ask for credit!" ”

Zhang He smiled coldly and said, "Come on!" ”

Cheng He was holding an iron mace, and the sharp long thorns were three inches long, which was very scary.

"Beat the drums!" Gao Ping immediately ordered.

The drums of war sounded and were inspiring. Cheng He clenched his weapon, kicked the horse and rushed straight away, facing Zhang He is hijab and smashing it down.

Zhang He's eyes were cold, he slapped his horse to meet the attack, his wrist trembled slightly, the tip of the spear was like a little cold star, covering Cheng He's whole body, and when the mace arrived, he suddenly kicked the mount, the mount was in pain, and suddenly accelerated, and the spear burst into under the mace, piercing straight into the door of He Face.

Cheng He's face changed greatly, but the mace weighed fifty catties, and it was too late to change his moves, only to see a flash of cold light, his throat was suddenly pierced, and his whole body strength was suddenly unloaded like a punctured balloon.

The two staggered, Zhang He stabbed out, put away the gun, and with a very simple action, he saw Cheng He behind him holding his neck and falling from his horse to death.

"The general is mighty!" Although Gao Ran looked down on Cheng He, he didn't expect that he didn't even block Zhang He's move, it seems that it is not that Cheng He is too bad, but that Zhang He is too strong.

"The general is mighty!" The whole Jingzhou army shouted in unison, and the morale soared sharply.

Zhang He returned to his horse, bent down beautifully, lifted Cheng He's body in his hand, and threw it in front of the army, and immediately a sergeant stepped forward and cut off his head with a knife and raised it high!

"Victory!" Zhang He shouted!

"Victory!" "Victory!" "Victory!" The whole army immediately chanted together, and the sound shook the sky.

Xu Huang's face was pale, his morale was damaged, and he immediately stepped out in person: "Since Zhang He is so powerful, then it's up to me Xu Huang to understand it!" ”
