Chapter 246: Crossing the River and Absconding
Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry suddenly appeared and disrupted the rhythm, but the lethality brought by the small number of elite cavalry really frightened Yuan Xi. This is his old book in Youzhou, and he used the funds that were not easy to pull out from between his teeth. All of his soldiers are veterans of Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, who have experienced a hundred battles. It hurts to die, not to mention fighting hard with tigers and leopards.
Therefore, when Zhang He's halberd soldiers appeared, Yuan Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Tieqing's face was not unusual, as if he was just commanding an ordinary battle, but his palms were already holding sweat. But he wasn't afraid, but excited. In Yuan Jun's camp, most of them are jealous and envious, and they want to perform, but they have never had a chance. Either he was assigned to guard the grain road, or he acted as a deviant teacher. Where is there a chance to confront the opponent's ace troops in peacetime.
"Hold up the halberd, don't tremble, give me a hard beat-"
Among the Yuan army, if you want to make a fortune, you can't get it by earning credit. Either take refuge in the eldest prince, or take refuge in Chun Yuqiong. Even so, it depends on the faces of the people in the center of Yecheng. If one is not careful, the internal will be tilted, and a group of generals will easily go down. Zhang He himself, trembling and trembling, left and right, this is how he has done this. However, even so, he acted as an outcast in the Battle of Guandu.
"Hands up, wait, formations close to each other!"
It was a wonderful feeling to see Yuan Xi for the first time, and the thoughts at that time were hearsay, this person was a nerd, weak and incompetent. It's ridiculous that he accepts this view, and what he sees and hears is true. The first change was on the way to Gauntlet, and that time he saw a second son who was talking and laughing and using soldiers and strategizing. Subsequently, he discovered that the man was far from so simple. It's a combination of meanness and tolerance, cunning and sincerity, but a set of rhetoric in the mouth, which seems to be always admitted. In the battle of Jieqiao, Zhang He was a visitor as usual, but he heard about this and that from his colleagues, the second son played a very important role in it, and also took over the will of Koji Yi. Others were drunk and laughed that Koji looked away and gave his life's work to a yellow-mouthed child. However, Zhang He disagrees.
"Take a step forward, resist! The back row is ready—"
In the two years of Youzhou, Yuan Xi is even more distant, Zhang He doesn't know how he has spent the past two years with this second son who gave him a refreshing feeling. It wasn't until this night that he was pulled back from the edge of the cliff. Then he took over the entire Yuan army's military power and laid out the layout. There is quite a sense of calm atmosphere. Although Arida Feng was frustrated with this kind of talent Sasuke, the decision to burn the remaining ships, the courage to put himself to death and be born after death, did not appear in Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao has always been particular about management, and he will never risk his life, but this young man dares. His mind is unusually calm, and his words are unusually selfish, but the actions deduced from selfishness are unusually logical and effective.
"Take a deep breath - kill!"
The darkness finally burst out with a murderous aura, and in just a moment, the contact width of hundreds of people, the tide of excitement collided, splashed at a certain point, spreading ripples around.
Bang bang!
Someone kept falling from the horse, and before they could say anything, they immediately cut off their heads with a short knife. The horseback halberd in the front row was nailed to the spot, and he couldn't help but neigh, and the horses behind him collided, and the people on horseback exclaimed, threw an arc, bounced up from the air, and fell into the dense enemy formation. However, before it reached the ground, it was already picked up in the air with a weapon, but it was thrown out heavily, and when it fell to the ground, his legs and feet could no longer move.
However, this tiger and leopard rider is not afraid of death, and it is still swarming one after another, just like a flying locust, densely packed, and everywhere it goes, not a single grass grows.
Zhang He's defenses began to loosen, corroded, and penetrated. The soldier's shoulders and shoulders were squeezed together, and he was pulled by the huge impact of the horse, and his chest was directly crushed until his ribs were broken and he died.
An opening appeared, and the enemy's follow-up troops broke through to this opening, and under the command of Zhang He, there were constantly reserves on the mouth of the river of blood, and then there was a fierce confrontation.
Yuan Xi's cavalry stood in the darkness and silently saluted Zhang He's troops, their mounts and soldiers were exhausted and they were no longer able to kill and help. I can only rely on them to hold on.
Cao Chun's eyebrows kept beating, and his heart seemed to be dripping blood. The horses ridden by the tigers and leopards were all selected, and the soldiers were the backbone selected from the various ministries. Such an elite was slowly accumulated by Cao Cao in the southern and northern wars, and this night people turned on their backs, and I don't know how much they lost. But this battle cannot be fought.
Rub it! Mingjin withdraws his troops.
Zhang He didn't have the strength to chase, and the back team made up for the front team and maintained the front, but it was already thin enough to make a cake. Three out of ten, heavy damage. The people in the front row could no longer stand normally, their feet were sticky with blood, and the lower feet were full of corpses. Everyone's arms were a thousand pounds, and they didn't have the strength to lift them anymore.
Cao Chun gathered the remnants of the defeated generals, and the lineup around him had also shrunk by a circle. Many soldiers who fell from their horses could still be saved, but these wounded were moaning at each other's feet, and it was unrealistic to want to save them. He was a little dazed, and ordered, "Retreat—"
Yuan Xi didn't chase after him, and they didn't have the strength to chase after them, so they had to watch them leave.
Yuan Xi continued westward with his men, while Cao Cao's large army pressed back after the appearance of the tiger and leopard cavalry. Everyone knows that the stakes are very high, and even Lejin led the remnants of the soldiers and continued to press up.
One pole gathered the flags, Xu Huang, Yu Ban, Cao Chun, and the pursuers all the way gathered and headed upstream. No one paid a single eye to Bai Majin.
Then, Yuan Shao's most combat-effective personal guard battalion, taking advantage of the fact that no one noticed, counterattacked, suddenly appeared and ate all the guards arranged here by Cao Jun, and then took advantage of the dawn to get on the boat sent by Liyang and quickly crossed the river.
Cao Cao personally led his troops from Wuchao, listened to the reports of the troops, and also went upstream to chase Yuan Xi's troops. Hearing that Yuan Shao had withdrawn from Baimajin to the other side of the river, Cao Cao's face turned blue. He didn't think about it, so he directly ordered that regardless of Bai Majin, all the troops caught up with Yuan Xi's cavalry and Zhang He's remnants, as long as they caught up, they would be surrounded and annihilated on the spot.
Up and down the river, the waves were vigorous, and the waves rolled and collided, and there was a burst of foam.
When Yuan Xi and the others got on the specially prepared boat, it was already noon, but Cao Bing could only sigh on the other side, and he couldn't catch up with him anymore.
Zhang He, who was stained with blood, couldn't help but wonder: "How can there be so many ships here?" ”
Tian Feng next to him looked impressed and said: "Actually, Tian was also very strange at that time, there is really no need for the second son to prepare so many tools for crossing the river here. However, at this time, things came true one by one, and I could only admire the foresight of the second son. But how did you think in advance that we would lose? ”
Yuan Xi stayed in Liyang and Baima for a long time, and when he was on the front line, he was not idle.
"I'm just leaving myself a way back, how can I know how history develops?"
Yuan Xi's expression revealed a wry smile.
