Chapter 57: The Battle Is Fierce

Han Yan couldn't see Bao Tao's face with his back to him, but in Han Yan's mind, if Bao Tao still had such a breath left, then he would definitely feel the injustice of heaven at this time, and the creation of people and the like. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And for this Bao Tao, who has repeatedly failed to look at himself, Han Yan can't say that he has any resentment or dissatisfaction, and the only thing he has is just sighing.

But what Han Yan thinks, Bao Xin doesn't know.

At this time, Bao Xin witnessed his younger brother who had arrived in front of him being shot to death in front of him, and his body suddenly went weak and slipped off the back of his mount. And the deputy general who followed Bao Xin seemed to be a little slow to think because of this sudden change, so no one reacted when Bao Xin fell off the horse, and let him fall into the dust.

After falling off the horse, Bao Xin didn't care to get up, he got on all fours, and crawled towards Bao Tao like a lost dog, and the dust raised along the way, under the light of the torches, was like flying snow, indescribably desolate.

Lying behind Bao Tao, Bao Xin reached out and pulled him into his arms. Looking at the eyes that had completely lost their brilliance, Bao Xin only felt that his throat and eyes were blocked by something, followed by a heart-rending yell: "Ah~~~!" ”

Han Yan, Cao Cao and others couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw this scene, there are some things, don't go up when the person concerned is sad, otherwise it will be easy to be beaten!

And the group of soldiers who came to chase and kill Han Yan in the distance, the leading general was slowly putting down the longbow in his hand, looking at Han Yan who was safe and sound, there was a trace of regret on his face.

"Alas! It's a pity! ”

The general casually threw the longbow into his general's arms, and shook his head with a sigh in his mouth.

"Haha! The general shoots the peerless, didn't he shoot one to death? Seeing that the leader was crying so sadly, he didn't think he was an ordinary character who died! ”

The partial general, who is good at observing words and feelings, holds a longbow in his arms, and flatters him.

"Shhhh It's not the one I want to kill, what kind of magic shot is this? I ......"

While waving his hand, the general raised his head with emotion and looked in Han Yan's direction.

Before the general could raise his head and finish speaking, he heard a loud roar, and the arrow grazed the general's helmet and shot directly at a partial general behind him, and when he got up and looked back, the general was scared out of a cold sweat.

"Retire! Retire! ”

The general felt the cold sweat that came out of his body, shouted repeatedly, and turned his horse's head to take the people away.

By Han Yan's side, Huang Zhong still maintained the posture of bending his bow and shooting arrows, but there was inevitably a trace of embarrassment on his face. Han Yan was almost shot by the other party just now, and the other party was the same at this time, if he hadn't lowered his head, Huang Zhong would have shot the other party to death on the spot!

That's right! That arrow was shot by Huang Zhong!

Huang Zhong, who was a little regretful, reached out and took a feather arrow from the side, and wanted to open the bow with his hand, but then a hand appeared in front of him.

"That's it! Hansheng, don't be too troubled! ”

It was Han Yan who stretched out his hand to stop Huang Zhong, who was looking at Bao Xin who was slumped to the ground with concern at this time.

Just when the general said 'retreat', it was as miserable as a lone wolf in a cold night, and Bao Xin spoke at the same time, roaring loudly: "Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Hearing Bao Xin's order, the whole army was ready to move, but because it was not a direct relationship, only the men and horses of his headquarters rushed out in the end.

Bao Xin looked left and right, waved his hand to Han Yan, who was squeezed off the horse, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yu Ban, take care of Bao Tao's corpse!" ”

"Yes!"

Yu Ban was silent, and took Bao Tao's corpse behind him.

And Bao Xin, after glancing at Bao Tao's corpse with great nostalgia, then turned around and turned over his horse, chasing after the fleeing soldiers under the protection of his lieutenant.

Seven thousand people, a lot, this looks like a lot. In order not to disturb the speed of Bao Xin's headquarters, Han Yan and Cao Cao had already led people to retreat to Kong Rong's main formation, and watched Bao Xin rush out with people.

In less than a hundred breaths, the last soldier of Bao Xin's headquarters also ran out. It was also at this time that Yu Ban held Bao Tao's corpse and came to Han Yan and the others.

"I said there was faith! What the hell is going on? Aren't you pioneers blazing a trail? How could people chase people to the Chinese army? ”

Looking at Han Yan and Cao Cao and the others with dusty faces, Kong Rong asked himself if he didn't dare to point fingers at Cao Cao, so he found Han Yan.

"It's because I forcibly attacked ......"

Hearing Kong Rong's question, although Cao Cao's face was full of loss, he still subconsciously opened his mouth to answer.

Without waiting for Cao Cao to finish speaking, Han Yan had already waved his hand, interrupting Cao Cao's words, and then said: "There are troops in an ambush in Chenggao, and you didn't see Kong Beihai just now, just the 10,000 people who opened the way, what can we do to fight others?" Not to mention us, even if it is the Jibei Prime Minister who has just chased out, if he chases it far away, it is estimated that he may not be able to come back! ”

"Huh? This ......"

Hearing Han Yan's words, Kong Rong's eyes couldn't help but widen, and his legs, which were holding the horse's belly, trembled slightly at this time.

"Don't do this, that, it's impossible to set up camp tonight, leave some people to pack up, and then the army will move in the direction of Chenggao! I hope Bao Xin didn't chase too closely, otherwise ......"

At the end of the words, Han Yan couldn't help but shake his head.

To be honest, although Cao Cao has a lot of responsibility for today's fiasco, it is not so serious. Just like Han Yan said, there are cavalry in such a dangerous place in Chenggao, who can do anything? You must know that this cavalry has an innate advantage over infantry.

While thinking, Han Yan waited for Kong Rong to give the order to march, but he didn't hear Kong Rong speak for a long time.

Surprised, Han Yan set his eyes on Kong Rong, "Kong Beihai? Why didn't you give the order to march? ”

"Ahh This, the camp has been arranged, and it is not so simple to tidy up. Besides, this leaves someone to pack up the whole line, and someone always has to lead it! So...... I said......" Looking at Han Yan and Cao Cao in front of him, Kong Rong hesitated, and said cautiously: "Otherwise, let me lead 3,000 people to pack up here, and then you two lead the army to support, how about it?" ”

"Huh? Do you stay here to pack your bags? All right! After listening to Kong Rong's proposal, Han Yan showed a smile on his face, and then turned his face to look at Chen Gong on the side, and shouted: "Chen Gong! With 4,000 people! Come with me! ”

"Yes!"

Chen Gong looked at Kong Rong with some disappointment, shook his head, and responded to Han Yan in a loud voice.

And Cao Cao, who was standing on the side, also shook his head after taking a deep look at Kong Rong, turned to look at Wei Zi not far away, and said, "Wei Zi, let's go!" ”

"Good!"

Weiz nodded, waved over General Pi behind him, gave two commands, and then said no more.

"In this way, then the matter here will be entrusted to Kong Beihai!"

Somewhat perfunctory arched his hand towards Kong Rong, Han Yan turned around and walked to Cao Cao's side to fight alongside him.

"Youxin, what's wrong?"

Looking at Han Yan who came over, Cao Cao couldn't help but ask.

"Hmmm! So, do you think we need to organize a cavalry to rush over to support Bao Xin first? ”

Rubbing his chin, Han Yan leaned into Cao Cao's ear and said in a low voice.

"Hmmm! That's fine! In this way, the main formation can also advance while gathering the remnants of the army! However, how many rides can you ride over there? ”

Bowing slightly, Cao Cao agreed with Han Yan's proposal very much, and then asked.

"How many rides can you make? Let's tell the truth to my brother! Han Yan said, carefully glanced at Kong Rong's side, and then whispered: "Kong Beihai only has three thousand people, and those led by Chen Gong are all Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiao and the men and horses dispatched!" In addition to the fact that Chen Gong and the leading generals have mounts...... Not a single horse! ”

"That's it!" Frowning and thinking for a while, Cao Cao turned around and beckoned, "Weizi! ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

Hearing Cao Cao's shout, Wei Zi drove his horse over.

"How many mounts can you have?"

Without hesitation, Cao Cao got straight to the point and asked directly.

"This ...... There are about 800 riders! ”

Glancing at Han Yan hesitantly, Weiz finally gritted his teeth and said the answer.

"Eight hundred? That's enough! Striking each other with both palms, Cao Cao continued: "In this way, you go and pull out the eight hundred horsemen, and then, Cao Chun!" You take these 800 cavalry with you! Hurry up to protect Jibeixiang! Don't let Jibei Xiang also make a mistake! ”

“…… Be! ”

Cao Chun, who heard the order, beat his spirit and responded.

"This ...... Mengde, let me go! ”

Looking at Cao Chun's tired appearance, Weizi couldn't help but shake his head and proposed.

"But ......"

Cao Cao also knew that his subordinates were exhausted, but thinking about his friendship with Wei Zi, it seemed a little inappropriate for this kind of thing to be done by the family, so Cao Cao couldn't help but hesitate.

"Alright, alright! What's the 'but'? Waving his hand impatiently, Weeds turned around and waved at one of the generals, shouting, "Follow me!" ”

As soon as Weiz's words fell, the silk reins in his hands trembled, and he rushed out first, and behind him, a series of cavalry also galloped into the distance.

Han Yan and Cao Cao glanced at each other, said goodbye to Kong Rong one after another, and then rushed to the direction of Chenggao with the remaining more than 9,000 people.

On the way, Han Yan and the others met Cao Hong, who gave the horse to Cao Cao. Looking at Cao Hong, who was limping towards him, Cao Cao turned over and dismounted, hugged Cao Hong hard, helped him onto the mount he was riding, and then let his subordinates lead a horse for him.

By the time Han Yan and the others arrived outside Chenggao, there were already more than 1,000 remnants of the army that had been gathered. In addition to the more than 300 people with Han Yan, the remaining more than 800 people were all under Cao Cao. As for the men and horses led by Bao Tao, it is estimated that most of them were trapped near the city wall because they attacked the city first, and there were really few people who could escape.

With a team full of 10,000, Han Yan and Cao Cao confidently walked towards Chenggao, and at this time the sky was already hazy and somewhat bright. When Han Yan and Cao Cao arrived five miles east of Chenggao, the morning dawn broke and the sun fell on the earth, and through this morning light, Han Yan saw Bao Xin who was paralyzed on the ground, and ...... Weys, whose chest was already cracked.

Han Yan turned his head, only to see Cao Cao beside him shaking and shaking from his horse, looking lost and depressed, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to help Cao Cao. Cao Cao, on the other hand, waved his hand slightly, and then closed his eyes slightly.

Looking at Cao Cao, who was trembling all over, Han Yan didn't know what to say. If you want to say that you have the best relationship with Cao Cao when you are in Luoyang, then this period of time after leaving Luoyang should be the best between Wei Zi and Cao Cao. You must know that the 5,000 people under Cao Cao were collected by funding, not to mention some friendships that Han Yan didn't know.

When Bao Tao died before, because he was not very familiar with Bao Xin, Han Yan didn't have much feeling in his heart, but now that things have changed to Cao Cao, Han Yan's heart is also a little sad.

"Jibei Xiang, what's going on?"

Cao Cao, who closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, opened his eyes after calming down, stared at Bao Xin and asked.

"Huh? It's Mengde! Hearing the voice beside him, Bao Xin raised his head and glanced at Cao Cao, then lowered his head again, looked at Wei Zi and said: "The other party originally ran towards the city gate of Chenggao, but I don't know why, before we could catch up with Cheng Gao, they turned back from the city gate of Cheng Gao, so we were caught off guard, and there were many casualties, and Wei Zi also ......."

"I'm not asking you that, I'm saying, why are you restless? And here it is...... Over here...... Sitting on the floor? ”

After thinking about it, Cao Cao didn't know how to describe it, so he could only find a random word.

"Encampment? But we didn't have anything with us! ”

Shaking his head, Bao Xin couldn't help it and smiled bitterly.

"Alas! I don't think it's the time to say this, look at the walls......"

Looking at the empty city, Han Yan felt that something was not quite right in his heart, and hurriedly interjected.

"That's right...... Hiss~~~! ”

Hearing Han Yan's words, Bao Xin subconsciously wanted to get up and answer, but as soon as his left hand was on the ground, he immediately gasped.

At this time, Cao Cao saw the wound on Bao Xin's left arm that was constantly oozing blood, hurriedly took two steps forward, frowned and asked, "Jibei Xiang, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay......"

Switching to his right hand to support the ground, Bao Xin can be regarded as standing up.

Immediately after, Han Yan, Cao Cao and Bao Xin stood side by side in front of the military formation, frowning at the same time and looking at the city wall in front of them.
