Chapter 60: The Death of the Loyal Soul
The cry of fighting resounded through the sky, and the burning forest rolled up a black dragon, as the three armies separated from the coalition army, a total of more than 10,000 people, encountered almost the same number of Xiliang troops in Bianshui, but most of the Cao, Zhang, and Bao armies were newly recruited soldiers, even if there were generals such as Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Ren, but the collision of tens of thousands of people, the first time of the confrontation, half an hour was the collapse of the whole line.
The water was dyed red, blood and corpses fell on the riverbank, the soldiers with spears were staggering and running, the vision was up to the sky, hundreds of soldiers were running wildly in the field, a Xiliang cavalry roared from the rear to kill, and then crushed the past, slaughtered the opponent hard, forced the river into the river, and then pulled the bow and shot the arrows to death, and the corpses of blood and arrows surfaced.
The huge battlefield of canine teeth was densely packed with people, and from time to time arrows with flames fell into the crowd, pierced into the flesh, set fire to the armor, and a terrible scream rang out, followed by another arrow, nailing the person to the ground. More figures spread in, launched a charge, the panicked Cao soldiers on the opposite side set up a gun forest, hysterical resistance, but the Xiliang foot soldiers pushed over, some people did not have the courage to retreat, avoid, crowded each other and pushed, under the gun forest pressed in front, the Xiliang knife holding the shield roared hideously, surging into Cao Bing's gun array to suppress, and the iron gun that followed behind him stuck into the gap and pierced into the pile of people opposite, splashing pieces of blood.
Behind the Cao soldiers, many people were so frightened that they ran for their lives, and for a moment, the horse's hooves roared, and a cavalry of about 100 people rushed over, chopping waves into the Xiliang infantry soldiers, the first member of the general was angry and short-bearded, and there were two arrows inserted in the shoulder armor, and a spear pierced into the chest of a Xiliang infantry pawn, and the moment the blood rushed out, the horse's hooves were still running wildly, pushing the man into the gun forest, and the gun forest that received the battle was directly knocked away.
With a wave of his arm, the corpse flew and knocked down several people, and the iron gun in his hand waved again, and the head of the gun swept on the helmet of the Xiliang foot soldier who was stabbed by the gun, smashing the person to the ground, and the gun returned to the horse and roared at the soldier over there: "Where is the lord?!" β
"I don't know..."
A soldier with a bloody face pointed in the direction of the north: "I... It was as if I saw the figure of the lord going over there. β
Cao, Zhang, Bao three coalition army is mostly newly built, and most of them are foot soldiers, the victory is good, most of the soldiers in the face of the Jin Ge iron horse charge, the degree of cowardice and fear of death is still far higher than the courage, the Xiliang army suddenly started the war, the front line of the fight is directly one-sided, and the three armies were directly broken into several pieces.
A Xiliang general with a banner of Zhang Zi with a thousand iron cavalry straight to Cao Cao's banner, guarding the side of Xiahoudun with only five hundred elite cavalry stepped forward to intercept, relying on the courage to fight the other party back, the surrounding rout has become settled, when the defeated soldiers mixed with Cao Cao disappeared.
Just now he was looking for people everywhere, and at this time the cavalry around him had been reduced to the extreme, and when he heard the soldier's answer, Xiahoudun pulled the reins and chased towards the north.
A few miles away from here, noisy fighting surrounded the battlefield, on the back of a white war horse, Xu Rong was wearing armor and holding a gun, his eyes were looking at the few rout troops in front of him, and he kept issuing various orders with gestures, for a battle of 10,000 people, he was more handy than the three people in front.
"As Li Ru expected, this little soldier and horse also dare to catch up." As long as these three armies are taken, he Xu Rong will really occupy an important position in the Xiliang army, "I am going to capture Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin alive in front of the Taishi." β
For a moment, he really wanted to personally go down and lead the army to capture these three people, but reason was reminding him that the lord of an army would not be able to show his courage and ignore the whole army, and he also wanted a bigger stage to let the people of the world know Xu Rong.
"Order, the two generals Fan Chou and Hu Zhen don't have to wait any longer, just press over and end the battle."
Xu Rong raised his hand and waved it, ordering the flag to go down.
β¦β¦
"Lord, let's goβ"
The surging crowd flooded from the rear, and the surrounding was full of fighting figures, Li Dian and Le Jin, who hastily organized two or three hundred people, roared, forming a line of defense, and stopped a Xiliang cavalry that covered up, and the human wall flew upside down to break through, and on the churning horses' hooves, the Xiliang general named Fan Chou raised his hand and held his bow towards the figure riding a horse over there.
The arrow crossed the top of the person's head, pierced into the horse's moving thigh, the horse screamed, fell to the ground with a bang, threw the figure on his back, the horse's hooves galloped again, Fan Chou raised his gun and was about to pierce it, a nearby war horse was horizontal, a figure with thick arms turned out the bow and arrow, and shouted: "Hugh hurt my lordββ"
Raising your hand is a shot.
"Ahh
The arrow swished into the arm of Fan Chou, who raised the gun, when he screamed in pain, a fast horse next to him approached, and he waved his hand to cut it down, with a bang, Jin Ming struck, and the Xiliang general who was hit by the arrow waved his gun to block the moment, pulled the horse and retreated, and the Cao general still wanted to chase, and more Xiliang iron horsemen and foot soldiers rushed up.
On the ground, the figure covered with dust and mud got up in embarrassment, his hair was scattered, and his helmet didn't know where it fell, he carried a long sword, the corners of his mouth were bloodshot, he laughed, there were faint water stains flashing in the corners of his eyes, and he staggered two steps, revealing a look of compassion.
ββ¦β¦ Dahan, Cao Mengde did his best!! β
"Don't say anything discouraged, go quickly!" The sword-wielding general came over, turned over and dismounted, "It's just victory or defeat, he will regroup and come back in the future, the lord can take my horse, and Hong will escort on foot." β
Cao Cao glanced at the pursuing Xiliang army, gritted his teeth and turned over his horse, and at this moment, the general who shot the arrow before was called Xiahou Yuan, and suddenly spoke: "No, there is a problem in the rear of the Xiliang army......
Then, the flames rose into the sky.
********************************************
Under the same sky, in the Xiliang army camp west of the Bianhe River, hundreds of cavalry figures shot arrows burning leather jackets around the camp, and the soldiers and horses in the camp chased out, and the other party immediately ran around Dazhai for most of the circle, igniting the camp tent in the army, the wind helped the fire, and the fire ignited instantly.
The black smoke rushed into the sky, and the changes that appeared in the direction made Xu Rong, who was being surrounded by troops, a little unexpected, and even thought that he was attacked by the other party for a while.
The hand was raised, "Order, collect troops and return to helpβ"
β¦β¦
"Xiliang Army... Returned. β
There were several wounds all over his body, and Le Jin, who was mostly bloodstained, was holding the spear with a little disbelief on his face. In the rear, Cao Cao was also puzzled by this, could it be that there was still a coalition army attacking Xu Rong's back road? Soon, a small cavalry force departed from the end of the field of vision towards the north.
"If I had such a cavalry, how could I be defeated like this." Cao Cao looked at the cavalry in the distance and sighed.
The sky is tilted, such defeats, killings, and now there are not many soldiers who can still maintain the establishment, and they have returned to the city one after another to collect the rout, and there are still two or three thousand people left, and then returned to Xingyang, after going to the coalition camp, he soon walked out, and Cao Cao was deeply ashamed of the people who sang and danced inside.
ββ¦ Zihe and follow me to the city wall for a walk. β
He said hoarsely to Cao Chun, who was following him, that the night had fallen, and the people who were still alive in the city, crying came from their homes, and they could be heard faintly when they walked into the city gate, and such a scene made his heart heavy, like an invisible burden on his shoulders.
Walking up the stone stairs step by step to the city wall, the soldiers on duty saw Cao Cao coming up, stepped forward to salute, and was waved down by him, and after a while, he stood down behind a section of the wall battlement, and the residual blood could still be faintly smelled.
The night breeze blew across the city, rolled over the flags, and the beard stroked in the wind, far and near, the speckled firelight of the coalition army camp outside the city stretched, and Cao Cao looked in that direction.
"My heart is uncomfortable...... "Looking beyond the campfire to the end of the night, he slammed his fist against the battlement, and whispered hoarsely.
Closing his eyes slightly, the wind hit his face, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "...... Zihe, do you know what my Cao Cao's greatest wish is in this life? β
Behind the "......", Cao Chun was silent and did not answer.
Over there, Cao Cao laughed softly and straightened his spine: "My wish is to one day be the general of the Han Dynasty to conquer the west and expand the territory...... It can't be done...... There will be no more. β
took a deep breath, opened his eyes, had a different emotion, slapped his hands on the wall, leaned over and looked at the city, and his voice became louder: "Forget it if you don't have it...... Since everyone has a bad heart, okay! β
He turned sharply and walked towards the city wall, stopping his steps for a moment, and the sound sounded in the wind.
ββ¦β¦ In this world, then count me Cao Cao's share. β
Boom β
Spring thunder sounded in the sky, and the rain covered the earth on this night.
β¦β¦
"If Meng De has a heart, cavalry is indispensable, I will go to mix among today's gang, and when I come back, I will form an iron cavalry for Meng De to conquer the world."
With a rain curtain hanging on the eaves, Cao Chun stood in front of the window and thought for a long time, and finally made a decision when the sky was shining, and after leaving a letter, he went to the north alone.
