Chapter 263: Han Hao dies and opens his jaw to defeat

Han Hao relaxed in Fule for a day, and the next time the sun rose three zhang high, he took the army back with a full load and walked south. What is left behind is the devastated Fule and the people who want to cry without tears!

50,000 horses were happy, not hurrying, and it took half a day to rush to the water's edge.

On the waterway channel forty or fifty zhang wide, there is only a slight flow, and there is a look of broken flow. In this regard, Han Hao is not puzzled - in early spring, it is the dry period of the river, and it is common for the water level of the river to decrease, or even to cut off.

Han Hao gave an order, and an army of 50,000 swarmed and rushed down the almost dry river without discipline.

Han Hao rode his war horse and rushed to the front.

Boom, boom, boom

Suddenly, a faint rumbling sound came from the upper reaches of the water, and the entire river trembled slightly with the sound.

Han Hao was puzzled and looked up.

"Is it cavalry?" Han Hao immediately denied this idea. Who doesn't know that cavalry is exclusive to Youzhou. And the people and horses of Youzhou, how could they come here?

"That's" Han Hao stared upstream without blinking, feeling the more violent vibration, the increasing voice, and suddenly his complexion changed!

"Not good!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a white line rushing down from the upper reaches of the river!

"It's flooding!"

The soldiers were immediately terrified, and in an instant, the entire 50,000 horses were in chaos!

The 30,000 or so horses who had already gone down the river were at once like headless flies, and the clever ones pulled their legs and ran to the shore, while the stupid ones only knew how to go back and forth in circles, and their hands and feet did not obey the call at all.

The 20,000 people on the shore who had not yet gone down the river were at a loss while rejoicing.

Han Hao's eyes were completely frightened, he was trembling all over his body while slamming the horsewhip desperately, and he didn't care about the soldiers under his command at all.

That white line was fast, rumbling with the might of heaven and earth, like the Nine Heavens Milky Way, hanging down!

Just now, the big water was still like a white line, but with a few words, a few breaths and a blink of an eye, a huge wall of water appeared in the eyes of Han Hao's army!

Bang!

A huge wave ran over from here, and tens of thousands of horses were like ants in front of the giant, without the power to resist, and they were swept away in an instant!

Han Hao ran to the other side, and when he looked back, his face was pale.

More than 30,000 people and horses rushed down the river, and at this time, except for the more than 3,000 people and thousands of people who followed him ashore and returned to the other bank, all the others had been washed away by the flood.

Han Hao lost his soul and his mind was in chaos.

"Kill!"

At this moment, the fierce shouting of killing sounded in his ears, Han Hao heard the sound, looked back, and suddenly his heart and gall were broken.

Cao Hong took the lead, and the 20,000 troops behind him clinged to a wall of light that flickered with cold light, and rushed over.

Han Hao was completely desperate.

There are now more than 3,000 frightened soldiers and horses under his command, and the enemy army is at least no less than 10,000!

No matter how you compare, it's not an opponent at all!

At this most critical juncture, Han Hao's heart was surprisingly calm.

"I vote"

Burst!

A feather arrow sank into Han Hao's chest like lightning, leaving only the tail feathers trembling slightly. Han Hao grew his mouth, and a stream of blood gushed out. He raised his head with great difficulty, looked at Cao Hong, who was galloping over and retracting his bow and arrows, the light in his eyes gradually dispersed, his mouth moved slightly, and he plopped and fell into dust.

At the same time, on the other side of the river, Cao Chun's tiger and leopard rode like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and the two went back and forth, and the 20,000 Han Hao troops who were at a loss were shattered.

In this way, Han Hao's 50,000 army was washed away by the flood, more than 20,000 were killed, and the rest surrendered

Knock knock

The sound of the war drums suddenly remembered, and he opened his jaw to hear the sound, and suddenly stood up from his seat, and the anger on his face flashed.

"Is this Cao Chun full of food or what?"

Zhang Jaw scolded secretly, and heard a report from a soldier outside the tent.

"General, Cao Jun is here to challenge!"

Zhang Jaw snorted and shouted: "Come on, take my weapon and prepare a horse for me!" ”

I couldn't help it. The previous time because of the unknown, Cao Chun was put together, defeated once, Zhang Jaw also knew that it was impossible to defeat the Cao army with cavalry and sophisticated equipment with more than 30,000 men and horses in his hands, so Zhang Jaw retreated to defend while sending people back to Luoyang, reported the matter, and asked Yuan Shao to send an additional army to open the Chenliu Gate in one fell swoop and take Yanzhou.

Unexpectedly, Cao Chun would come to harass and abuse from time to time, no matter how good his temper was, it was difficult to hold back.

Zhang Jaw put on a drape, raised his blade, turned over his war horse, and led an army of generals and colonels out of the camp.

"Cao Chun!"

Zhang Jaw pointed at the big gun in his hand and shouted: "Don't you think that Zhang is afraid of you?!" ”

"Hahaha" Cao Chun laughed: "Open your jaw, you shrunken turtle, if you weren't afraid of General Ben, why wouldn't you dare to fight with me!?" ”

"Good! It's as you wish! ”

Zhang Jaw squinted slightly, swept carefully, and included all the 20,000 horses under Cao Chun's command.

"The whole army is ready, charge!"

With a loud shout and a wave of the big gun in his hand, in the rumbling war drums, more than 30,000 people and horses shouted and killed in unison, like a monstrous wave, surging and rushing to kill!

Cao Chun did not show weakness, and at the same time waved the big gun in his hand, commanded the tiger and leopard cavalry, sword and shield soldiers, and the 20,000 army rushed up against the Zhang Jaw army.

Boom, the two armies collided violently. In an instant, blood burst out, stumps and severed arms flew all over the sky, and shouts of killing mixed with screams resounded through the heavens and the earth.

Cao Chun held his jaw, and the two of them came and went, and they clashed fiercely.

Five thousand tigers and leopards rode rampant among the enemy troops, seemingly brave, but they seemed to lack an indomitable spirit.

As time passed, Cao Chun fell behind, and at the same time, the tiger and leopard rider seemed to be stuck in a quagmire.

"Not good!" Cao Chun shouted, forced back with all his strength, and shouted: "Retreat!" Fall back! Mingjin retreats! ”

Ding Ding Ding

A series of golden sounds sounded, Cao Jun suddenly mustered up his strength, counterattacked once, and then, like a tide, he was about to retreat in an instant.

"Where is it so easy!" Zhang Jaw shouted: "Cao Chun, I will definitely leave you behind!" ”

"Drums, drums! Give me chase! ”

Zhang Jaw led the army to bite Cao Jun's tail and chased and beat fiercely.

He wants to vent his anger in this succession, he wants to kill Cao Chun and defeat Chen Liu!

The two armies chased after me, and soon fought more than ten miles.

Cao Chun lay on his horse, galloping away, and quietly turned back, his eyes flashing with a strange look.

"Hurry! Speed up and get rid of Yuan Jun! ”

Cao Chun drank a lot.

Seeing a dense forest in front of him, on the other side of the dense forest, you can see Chen Liucheng. Cao's army was fast and went around the dense forest. Zhang Jaw still chased after him and followed.

Suddenly, a cannon rang out, and the sound of killing in the dense forest shook the sky!

Cao Hong led 20,000 soldiers and horses to suddenly kill out of the dense forest, and slaughtered into the army of Zhang Jaw, and in an instant, it was cut into two sections!

At the same time, Cao Chun grabbed the reins of the horse and shouted: "Revenge!" Kill back! ”

The originally embarrassed people and horses cheered up and came back with high cheers!

"How so?!"

The open jaw looked incredulous.

After the last war, Cao Chun only had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and Yanzhou had not sent additional reinforcements in the near future. But where did the 20,000 men come from?

Zhang Jaw scolded hatefully, gritted his teeth, and shouted: "Retreat!" ”

At present, the enemy not only outnumbered him, but also ambushed, and his army was far behind, and if he still entangled here, it would be difficult to escape the danger of annihilation. Zhang Jaw immediately made a decision and immediately ordered the army to break through and retreat.

Zhang Jaw wants to retreat, how can Cao Chun and Cao Hong be willing?

The two armies joined forces, and in turn pursued and fought fiercely, as if they were vowing to cut off their jaws under their horses.

While you were chasing me, the two armies quickly returned along the road and returned to the camp of the Zhangjaw army. Zhang Jaw led the remnants of the army around, and did not return to the camp at all, but walked in the direction of Bishui Pass.

Now that Yuan's army has been defeated, the number of troops has been seriously damaged, and the morale is low, and a mere camp is simply not enough to defend it. Zhang Jaw could only return to Bishui Pass and take advantage of the danger of the pass to resist Cao's army.

After the defeat of the Yuan army, Cao Chun and Cao Hong would not let go of such a great opportunity at all, chasing and killing all the way, and they were able to kill until the Bishui Pass, and saw that the Guan sent troops down to respond, so they were unwilling to withdraw the army.

In this battle, almost all of the more than 30,000 men and horses of Zhangjaw's army were wiped out. opened his jaw and entered the Bishui Pass, and after a careful count, he found that he only had thousands of people left. With the addition of the men and horses in the water pass, Yuan's army only had a total of 30,000 people.

As a result, in Zhang Jaw's eyes, the current situation has become a confrontation, Zhang Jaw is unable to launch an attack, and Cao's army cannot capture Bishui Pass. Only when Yuan Shaozeng sent a large army to come, Zhang Jaw may be able to make new moves.

Cao Chun and Cao Hong defeated Han Hao and Zhang Jaw in a row, and they were very happy in their hearts.

The two led the army back to Chenliu, let the army rest for half the night, and after eating enough, only 5,000 people were left to guard, and then quietly left Chenliu with the remaining 30,000 horses, looking in the direction of Yingchuan

Ye County, Nanyang County, Jingzhou.

Because of the defeat in the war, although the damage was not large, it was an accident, so he withdrew the army from Runan County and returned to Ye County. At this time, he was facing off against the 70,000 horses led by Zhang Xun, Chen Lan and other three people in Wuyang.

On this day, Wen Ping was about to take a walk around the city and conduct routine patrols, but received a secret report from the lord Liu Biao.

Wen Ping waved back left and right, opened the secret report and took a closer look, and suddenly pondered.

"That's a good idea."

After a long time, Wen Ping said to himself: "Yuzhou seems to be unavailable, even if reinforcements are sent, I am afraid it will be for Cao Ying, and Cao Yingen will be cheapened in vain, but the lord's plan is very good." ”

"Someone." Wen Ping rubbed his palms, turned the secret report into ashes, and shouted outside the door.

"Order, officers above the rank of lieutenant to immediately go to the council hall to discuss matters without delay!"

Wuyang, Zhang Xun, Chen Lan and Le gathered together and were arguing.

"I said that I should return to the army immediately and block Cao Ying's thief in Pingyu!" Le's eyes were very narrow, and the vicious light in his eyes flashed one after another.

"No." Zhang Xun is a strong man with a big beard, and he said: "I also want to wave the army to recapture Pingyu, but what about Wenpin?" If you withdraw your army, aren't you afraid that he will stab you in the back? ”

Chen Lan was silent and did not speak.

Although Yuan Shao's subordinates are all colleagues, they also compete with each other. For example, this time, if anyone can regain Pingyu, Yuan Shu will definitely be very happy, and promotion and fortune will definitely be indispensable. Zhang Xun and the others naturally wanted to immediately wave their troops and recapture Pingyu before Chen Ji, Ji Ling and others, but the civil appointment of Ye County made the three of them dare not move.

At this time, a soldier came to report.

"Three generals, the scouts are coming to report that the enemy army in Ye County is retreating!"

"What?!"

The three of them looked at each other and groaned.
