Chapter 1270: Killing Guo Yuan
On the other side of the river, the Xiliang army had already launched an attack on Yuan's army.
Cao Shuo stood on the shore with a group of generals, looking at the opposite bank.
The battlefield was far away from them, and apart from the faint sound of shouting and killing, all they could see was billowing dust and smoke rising from the battlefield.
"Childe, it seems to be quite lively over there." Chen Zhi, who was standing next to Cao Shuo, said.
"Of course it's hilarious." Cao Shuo said: "Ma Mengqi personally led the troops, how could Guo Yuan resist it? ”
"Childe, doesn't you think too highly of Ma Chao?" Chen Zhi said: "I think he is not ordinary. ”
"Uncle Zhi doesn't like him very much?" Cao Shuo asked.
"Too flamboyant, too arrogant." Chen Zhi said: "When I saw Ma Chao, somehow, I wanted to have a competition with him. ”
"That's because Shu Zhi is not a restrained person." Cao Shuo smiled and said: "When Ma Chao sees you, he probably wants to have a competition with you." ”
Chen Zhi grinned: "Maybe." ”
Cao Shuo was still watching the battlefield in the distance.
Ma Chao and Pang De had already broken through the defense line of Yuan's army at this time.
Guo Yuan galloped with dozens of people, trying to escape from the battlefield.
Behind them, there was only one member of General Xiliang who rode a tall horse.
More than a dozen Yuan soldiers saw only one person coming, and turned their horses to meet them.
It was none other than Pang De who was chasing Guo Yuan.
After the Western Liang army launched an attack, Yuan's army resisted very stubbornly at first.
When Pang De led the Xiliang cavalry to kill from the flank, Yuan's defense line suddenly collapsed.
20,000 Yuan troops scattered and fled, and Guo Yuan, who commanded the battle, also fled the battlefield under the escort of dozens of guards.
Seeing Guo Yuan from a distance, Pang De set aside the Xiliang soldiers who were chasing the enemy and chased after him.
More than a dozen Yuan soldiers came back head-on.
Seeing that it was approaching, Pound not only did not slow down, but urged the war horse to go faster.
Yuan Jun shouted and brandished their weapons at Pang Tong.
Where would Pound look at them.
Just when Yuan Jun, who came to intercept, was about to rush to him, he slashed at the two people directly opposite with a big knife in his hand.
Before the two Yuan soldiers could react, they were slashed by the big knife and fell off their horses.
A few other Yuan Jun and Pang De staggered by.
They hurriedly reined in their horses, and by the time they turned around, Pound had already rushed far away.
More than a dozen people glanced at each other and urged their horses to chase after them.
Several groups of Yuan Jun failed to stop Pang De.
There were only four cavalrymen left guarding Guo Yuan's side, and the others were left behind by Pound.
Riding a horse and galloping, Guo Yuan glanced back from time to time.
Pang Tong rode a Xiliang horse, while Guo Yuan's mount was just an ordinary war horse.
There was a gap in the foot strength of the mounts of the two sides, and it didn't take long for Pang Tong to catch up with Guo Yuan.
And those Yuan Jun who tried to intercept him were thrown farther and farther away by him.
Seeing that he was about to catch up with Guo Yuan, Pang De roared: "Guo Yuan, where to go!" ”
The thunderous roar was behind his ears, and Guo Yuan hurriedly turned around.
As soon as he turned around, Pound's broadsword had already been chopped off.
Poor Guo Yuan was stabbed in the head by Pang De, and it was split into two pieces from his shoulder to his waist.
Seeing this, Yuan Jun, who was escorting Guo Yuan, all reined in their horses.
Stunned to look at Guo Yuan's corpse that was split into two pieces, Yuan Jun who was present was stunned.
It wasn't until Pang De cut off Guo Yuan's head with a knife and bent down to lift it up that they reacted and ran away in all directions.
Carrying Guo Yuan's head, Pang De seemed to walk leisurely towards the place where the battle had just taken place.
led the army to chase and kill the fleeing Yuan army, but Ma Chao did not find Guo Yuan.
He was annoyed when a soldier came to him: "General Qiyu, General Pang killed Guo Yuan!" ”
Zhengchou failed to find Guo Yuan, and when he heard that Pang De had killed him, Ma Chao breathed a sigh of relief.
He asked the soldiers who reported the news, "Where is General Pang?" ”
The soldier turned back to Pound, who was walking this way, and said, "It's almost there." ”
The battlefield was very chaotic, although the Yuan army had scattered and fled, the Xiliang army was still cleaning up the battlefield.
Looking in the direction pointed by the soldier, Ma Chao really saw Pang De walking towards this side with a human head.
Seeing Pound, he urged him to step forward.
When he arrived in front of Pound, he asked, "Guo Yuan killed?" ”
Lifting the head and shining at Ma Chao, Pound said: "I thought I couldn't catch up with him, but I didn't think that the horse he rode was too bad, but it gave me the opportunity to kill him." ”
Glancing at Guo Yuan's head, Ma Chao said, "Let's go back." ”
Turning the war horse, Ma Chao ordered to the Xiliang army on the side: "Clean up the battlefield and bury the corpses for me!" ”
The soldier answered, and Ma Chao and Pang Tongyi returned to the barracks together.
The shouting on the other side of the river finally stopped.
Standing on the bank of the river, unable to hear the shouting and killing from the opposite side, Cao Shuo said, "It's over." ”
"It's only been a day?" Chen Zhi on the side asked.
"We can defeat the Huns in one day, why can't the Xiliang army defeat the Yuan army in one day?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "Ma Chao is showing me the strength of the Xiliang Army." ”
Chen Zhi didn't say anything, just pouted and smiled silently.
He still looks down on Xiliangjun in his heart.
Not only Chen Dao, but the other generals on the side all had the same idea, but everyone didn't show it.
Over the years, the Xiliang army has suffered a lot of defeats.
But since they followed Cao Shuo, they have almost never tasted failure.
Glancing back at the generals, Cao Shuo saw that they all had the same thought in their hearts.
But he didn't say anything.
The arrogance of the generals is not a good thing, but it is not all bad.
After all, with this pride, you will be fearless when you go to the battlefield.
When Cao Shuo returned to the tent, it was already a little dark.
He sat down in the tent for a while, and Cai Ji said outside: "Young Master Qiyu, General Ma and General Han are here!" ”
He had long expected that Ma Teng and Han Sui were coming, so Cao Shuo stood up and said, "Please come in two generals." ”
Cai Ji answered, and then the curtain was lifted, and he led Ma Teng and Han Sui in.
Ma Teng was not followed by Ma Chao, but a younger general.
After entering the handsome tent, Ma Teng and Han Sui first greeted Cao Shuo, and then Ma Teng said: "Son, the little Meng Qi is fortunate to live up to his mission, beheading Guo Yuan and defeating Yuan's army. ”
"Meng Qi has made great contributions, and he deserves to be rewarded." Cao Shuo looked behind the two of them and asked, "Why didn't he come?" ”
"I just broke through the Yuan army, the soldiers are still cleaning the battlefield, and Meng Qi has to take care of it there." Ma Teng instructed the young general behind him: "Why don't you sacrifice Guo Yuan's head to Gongzi?" ”
The young general answered, holding a blood-stained cloth bag in both hands and handing it to Cao Shuo.
Cai Ji took the cloth bag from him and handed it to Cao Shuo.
"Open it and take a look!" Cao Shuo gave Cai Ji an order.
Cai Ji responded, put the cloth bag on the table, and opened it layer by layer.
