Chapter 496: Mighty Zhang He

After the archers had fired their short spears, they quickly retreated, re-grasped their bows and arrows, and shot at the enemy, while the original positions were occupied by the spearmen, and spears pierced from the top of the shield, shining with cold light.

The horses charged, crashing into the heavy shield, and before they could raise their long knives, the sharp iron spears in the front row had pierced into the belly of the horses, and the sergeants in the back row stabbed the spears at the riders on the horses again, and the two armies collided with each other.

For a time, the people turned on their backs, and the first rows of men and horses in the Jingzhou army's infantry and bow battle array were also cracked out by the impact, and were broken by the cavalry.

The real hand-to-hand combat officially begins.

"Kill!" Yin Li took the lead, and was the first to jump up, and the spear in his hand suddenly slammed into the chest, piercing the chest of an enemy soldier directly, and coming out through his back. Throwing off the enemy's corpse, he stabbed out again in a row, and in the blink of an eye, five or six Cao soldiers had already been shot down.

Hou Cheng was not ambiguous, the spear in his hand was like a poisonous snake spitting out letters, and in the cold light, there were enemy soldiers who were shot, and the soldiers on both sides were even more miserable. A Jingzhou soldier had just killed an enemy soldier before his head was cut off by another Cao soldier who rushed in with a knife, and the headless corpse was still trying to take a step forward under inertia, and the spear pierced into the belly of a war horse.

Wang Cai was extremely panicked, the blow to him in this battle was incomparable, and no one could have imagined that such a small lunge battle formation would let his 1,000 cavalry lose less than 200 people.

"Retreat! Hurry back! Wang Cai shouted.

Without speed and impact, the lethality of the cavalry is very weak, and at this moment, falling into the encirclement of thousands of bow infantry is like a person falling into a quagmire, and no matter how great his skills are, he can't exert himself.

But Yin Li obviously wouldn't let him get his wish, and with a wave of his arms, all the horses rushed to kill, although he would lose some men and horses, he vowed to keep these cavalry here.

After a short dying struggle, the cavalry was slaughtered, and only three arrows were left in his body, and the king, who had been wounded in more than ten places, was surrounded by dozens of spearmen.

"Dismount and surrender, or die!" Hou Cheng shouted without hesitation.

"Hahaha, my king is deeply favored by Duke Wei, and he will never surrender!" Wang Cai laughed angrily.

Yin Li smiled coldly: "Kill!" ”

In an instant, dozens of spears instantly pierced from the front, back, left and right, directly lifting Wang Cai high into the air......

Yin Li turned his head to look at the middle army of the Cao army, the two armies were inseparable, there were many Cao soldiers, and the morale of the Jingzhou army was high, the two armies were inseparable, and the battle was stalemate, but in a war group in the distance, although it seemed that the killing was fierce, but there were not many figures of the Jingzhou army.

"It's not good, General Zhang He is in danger! Brother Yanping, you will lead half of the rescue of General Zhang He, and go to kill the Chinese army! Yin Li said anxiously.

In terms of position, Yin Li is one level higher, so Yin Li is the main one, Hou Cheng immediately agreed, took half of the people behind him and turned around and left.

Zhang He only led 500 infantry to rush to the enemy's 2,000 spearmen, the general of this team is Cheng Xi, martial arts are average, greedy for money, but the ability to unify the army is not small, seeing an army coming, the leading general turned out to be Zhang He who was sent away by Cao Cao, and his heart was suddenly happy.

Zhang He is brave and famous, and the people he brought this time are only five hundred, isn't this a military merit for himself, but he also knows how powerful Zhang He is, and said sharply: "The whole army is surrounded and killed, and I will take down the enemy general!" ”

Zhang He immediately saw that the enemy general was Cheng Xi, and he said coldly, so he ordered: "In this battle, we have few people and do not have an advantage, but the enemy army will obviously despise us, this is our strength, everyone give me your strongest ability, for the sake of the lord, kill the majesty of the enemy army!" ”

"Kill!"

The number of 500 people is small, but it is flexible, and there are more people who are generally led by Zhang He, and more than a dozen people who he has been bringing with him from Hebei, all of whom are veterans and have been in battle for a long time.

Before the two armies approached, Zhang He took a bow and arrows, and shot several arrows in a row, but the arrows were not missed, and wherever he went, one person fell in the enemy army immediately, making everyone in the enemy formation frightened.

Cheng Xi frowned slightly, and said loudly: "No matter how powerful he is, there are only so many people, can't four or five people kill one?" You are all warriors of the Central Plains, and you will definitely be able to kill them all! ”

Cheng Xi's words made the slightly timid person pluck up his courage again, clenched the weapon in his hand, and rushed to kill again without hesitation.

Zhang He rushed into the enemy formation, the spear flew like lightning, and suddenly the cold stars were dotted, but everyone who approached everyone was assassinated, and no one could block a move, as if entering a no-man's land.

When the sergeant behind him saw that his general was so powerful, he suddenly became arrogant, shouted and killed the enemy, and the shield blocked the knife and slashed, and even tore the enemy formation open a huge opening.

The tacit understanding of 500 people is not much scattered even in the enemy formation, like a sharp arrow, Zhang He is the front, and 500 sergeants are the tail, invincible in the enemy formation.

"Kill! Kill me! Looking at Zhang He, who kept thinking about killing himself, Cheng Xi felt bad, and the cold air on his back suddenly became cold, and he desperately shouted to the people and horses around him to surround and kill.

But after a stick of incense, Zhang He was still as brave as before, and countless soldiers under his command fell around him, and there were only 100 steps left from Cheng Xi himself, but there were only more than 300 people left in the 500 people behind Zhang He.

Cheng Xi laughed cruelly, took off the iron gall bow on his back, took out an arrow and quietly put it on, and pulled the full string: "Zhang He, go to death, just use your head to ask for merit for someone!" ”

The arrows rushed away like a poisonous snake out of a hole.

Zhang He had just assassinated a Cao soldier, and suddenly felt that the crisis had suddenly appeared, and he didn't have time to take a closer look, so he immediately leaned over to the side and assassinated a Cao Juntun commander who rushed up again, but his left arm suddenly hurt abnormally, and he was shot through by an arrow, and Cheng Xizheng in the distance sneered constantly.

"Cheng Xi! I, Zhang He, am going to cut off Yi's head today! Zhang He shouted, and the enemy soldiers next to him were too frightened to approach, and several personal soldiers immediately stepped forward to protect him in the middle.

Zhang He gritted his teeth and snapped the arrow on his arm, but he didn't pull it out, because pulling it out would speed up the flow of blood, which was simply suicide.

"General! How are you? The soldiers were furious.

Zhang He's face was slightly distorted by pain, and he sneered: "A little injury, it's okay!" Hold on for a few more moments, and men and horses will come to the rescue, and the army will be killed with me! ”

Zhang He separated his own soldiers, regardless of the pain, spared no effort to wave the spear, but whenever he got close to the enemy soldiers, all of them fell, the speed of the impact increased sharply, and the personal soldiers behind him were a little unable to keep up. But Zhang He couldn't care about this, he was injured, his strength was greatly damaged, and he couldn't hold on for long, if he couldn't kill Cheng Xi immediately, he would definitely die in this battle.
