Chapter 497: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow is behind
Cheng Xi saw Zhang He killing, he was frightened, although the arrow just now did not kill Zhang He, but it also injured him, but at this moment Zhang He is more powerful, even if he knows that Zhang He is holding on, he does not dare to be careless, and releases cold arrows again and again, but Zhang He is prepared, where will he shoot, all of them are blocked, but several Cao soldiers are injured.
Zhang He's bravery and fearlessness made Cheng Xi shocked and frightened, and in a panic he urged his subordinates to come forward to surround and kill, but he slowly retreated.
"Cheng Xi's hand is dead!"
Zhang He killed a bloody road, rushed left and right, Cao's army battle formation was already in chaos, no one could get up within a zhang of the side, seeing that Cheng Xi was in front of him, he kicked his mount violently, the mount accelerated, Zhang He roared angrily, and assassinated with all his might.
Cheng Xi saw that Zhang He was so powerful, his face changed greatly, and he didn't care about ordering his subordinates, so he turned the horse's head and ran. In the panic, he didn't even dare to stay for half a minute when the strong bow in his hand fell.
However, as soon as he ran, the other people around him were already killed, and immediately fled in all directions. Zhang He caught up, shot him in the back of the heart, and immediately fell off the horse.
Zhang He picked it up with his right hand and said loudly: "Cheng Xi is dead!" ”
It happened that Hou Cheng led people to kill, and when he saw Zhang He holding Cheng Xi with one arm, he was amazed: "Zhang Junyi is really a fierce general in the world!" ”
There was a comedy scene on the battlefield, a part of the Jingzhou army with a small number of people, frantically chasing and killing the Cao army with a large number of people, chasing and fleeing, the Cao army lost its armor and collapsed into an army, stretching for several miles, panicked.
The most feared thing on the battlefield is not that there are fewer people than the enemy, nor that there is less food and grass, but that there is no courage in the face of the enemy. Once an army is defeated, the desire to escape will spread like a plague throughout the army, quickly devouring the remaining fighting spirit and courage.
Xu Huang and Gao Ran have killed fifty or sixty in a row, but both of them are veterans of the battlefield, their martial arts are extraordinary, and no one can defeat anyone for a while, and what they fight for is their fighting spirit and fighting spirit.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of killing behind me, the two of them fought a move and looked up, Xu Huang's face changed greatly, a thousand cavalry on the left wing had disappeared, and two thousand spearmen on the right wing were fleeing all over the mountains and fields, and the Chinese army was already fighting with the enemy.
"Bastard!" Xu Huang was furious and rushed to the crown, and he was about to go to collect the army.
But Gao Ran's heart was just the opposite, he was very happy, and hurriedly slapped his horse to catch up and shouted: "Xu Huang, you have this ability, do you have to run away just after defeating a move?" ”
It's okay that Gao Ran didn't shout, this voice shouted out, and everyone on both sides nearby heard the sentence "lost a move", and their hearts suddenly cooled half, the main general was defeated, how to fight, and immediately abandoned the opponent and turned around and fled.
Xu Huang was extremely angry in his heart: "Gao Ran! ”
Gao Ran said with a good look: "If you don't accept it, continue to fight, Gao hasn't killed so happily for a long time!" ”
"Hmph, I'll learn the trick another day!" Xu Huang shouted angrily, turned around and left.
"Hahaha......" Gao Ran laughed heartily.
But Gao Ran didn't catch up, in fact, he was already at the end of the crossbow, Xu Huang's big axe was already powerful, and every move was not easy to catch at all, and now his strength was greatly lost, Xu Huang was too, and the two of them would kill again, it would depend on who made a mistake, but they didn't want to die, if he hurriedly caught up, the slightest accident by a few small soldiers could lead to death, which had too much impact on the battle situation, and neither of them dared to bet.
Cao Jun retreated, Gao Ping and Gao Huai immediately rushed to Gao Ran's side and said, "Big brother, how are you?" ”
Gao Ran glanced at the two clan brothers gratefully, and immediately said solemnly: "The Cao army retreated, and immediately pursued the enemy, but it can only be chased for ten miles, and it cannot be pursued again, in case there is fraud!" ”
"No!" The two immediately happily led people to chase and kill, while Gao Ran gathered the remaining troops behind and purged the prisoners.
Soon, Zhang He carried Cheng Xi's head and brought the remaining 100 subordinates to Gao Ran.
"Jun Yi is injured?" Gao Ran saw Zhang He's face that was already pale from excessive blood loss, and hurriedly asked.
Zhang He smiled bitterly: "I was shot by this guy, but his head was cut off by someone!" Small injuries, out of the way! ”
"Doctor, hurry up and bandage General Zhang's wounds!" Gao Ran shouted anxiously. Zhang He is not only his partner in this battle, but also a brother who has been together since Hebei, the two have a deep relationship, and they were forced to rebel by Guo Tu together, how can they not be anxious when they see each other injured at this moment.
"Brother Jingzhi, immediately send an order to collect the troops, do not pursue!" Zhang He looked around and found that most of the men and horses were missing, presumably to chase the enemy, and hurriedly suggested.
Gao Ran knew that Zhang He was resourceful, and suddenly suggested, obviously there was a reason, but he still said: "At this moment, Cao's army is defeated, there must be no other tricks, and a certain order is only to chase ten miles back!" ”
When Zhang He heard this, he said urgently: "Quickly send the order to collect the troops, otherwise there will be damage." Cao Hong and Cheng Yu escaped from Xuchang three days ago, and they must have defected to Xu Huang's army, but they didn't see anyone. ”
Gao Ran's face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly said: "Order to collect the troops!" ”
Gao Ran said that he was about to chase forward, and the two clan brothers Gao Ping and Gao Huai made him even more worried.
At this moment, suddenly a herald came in a hurry and shouted: "Report to the general, the big thing is not good, Cao Hong led Cao Cheng and Cao Shun to attack our army's camp, intending to burn our army's grain and grass!" ”
"What?" Gao Ran was suddenly dizzy, if the grain and grass were burned, it would inevitably cause the army's morale to be unstable, if it was killed by Xu Huang for a while, it would inevitably be defeated, and if you go back, you should not be punished by Liu Yong.
Immediately said: "Jun Yi, you immediately take 3,000 men and horses to pick up Gao Ping and Gao Huai, let Yin Li contain the prisoners, and Hou Cheng will immediately go back to the camp with me to rescue!" ”
"No!"
Zhang He immediately led 3,000 men and horses forward, and kept thinking in his heart: Cao Hong took Cao Cheng and Cao Shun to attack the camp, and heard that Yan Ming, Yan Teng, and Wang Fei escaped together.
Let's say that Gao Ping and Gao Huai led the army to chase ten miles, captured countless prisoners along the way, and collected countless baggage, and their hearts were overjoyed.
Gao Ping hurriedly stopped and said to Gao Huai: "Third brother, the eldest brother said, you can only chase ten miles, go back!" ”
Gao Huai said disdainfully: "Brother, look at you, why are you so careful, Cao Jun is now defeated, it's too late to escape, where can I take care of anything else, what danger will there be, we will go back after chasing five miles, it will be a great credit when the time comes, and the eldest brother will look good on his face, right?" ”
Gao Ping was not very resolute, and as soon as Gao Huai said it, he was immediately shaken, and then continued to chase and kill with Gao Huai.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at a mound in front, a "kill" sound suddenly exploded, and I saw a rain of arrows cutting his head and covering his face, Gao Huai ran in front, and was suddenly hit by an arrow in his chest.
