"You're looking for death!"

Zhang Xiu held a spear in his hand and poked Xu Huang three times in succession, although Xu Huang resolved these three moves, but he was also scared into a cold sweat, he seemed to have underestimated the young general in front of him, he didn't expect his marksmanship to be so exquisite.

Xu Huang didn't dare to be careless, picked up the big axe with one hand and shouted, raising his momentum, and then the three-plate axe fired back at Zhang Xiu.

Xu Huang's three moves forced Zhang Xiu back three steps, and it seemed that he didn't suffer much loss, but in fact, Zhang Xiu's mouth was numb at this time, his arm was sore, and he was shocked in his heart, and everyone had a lot of strength.

Among the two, Zhang Xiu is a typical cavalry battle is better than foot combat, while Xu Huang belongs to the kind of general who is very good at infantry and cavalry, and his axe is heavier, and the advantage will be more obvious when there is no way to borrow the power of war horses in infantry combat, so Zhang Xiu suffered a loss.

The eyes of the two looking at each other have changed, they have become dignified, they have tested each other's martial arts after the three moves just now, Xu Huang is twenty-four years old this year, and he is at the peak of his life, and Zhang Xiu is only twenty years old, he is slightly immature compared to Xu Huang, and his strength is not as good as Xu Huang.

The two of them didn't answer, and they raised their weapons to fight together, but at this moment, a long knife stretched out and knocked on each of their weapons, and both of them were forced back several steps by a force, and they both looked at this person in surprise.

After Zhang Xiu saw the appearance of the person who came, he immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted with his fists: "See the general!" ”

The person who came was Xu Chu, he glanced at Zhang Xiu and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Xu Huang was shocked, his heart was not good, this person's martial arts were above him, if this young general put all the responsibility on him, he was afraid that things would not be good.

"General Qiyu, I'll have a fight with this strong man, there's no trouble!"

Xu Chu glanced at the white horse that was foaming at the mouth and died, and said: "There is nothing best, don't make trouble for me, and besides, eighty percent of these war horses are for your kid to ride to death, go back and deduct your military salary for two months, no problem!" ”

Zhang Xiu smiled hippie, "No problem, no problem, just treat it as my military salary to honor the general's wine money." ”

Xu Chu snorted, ignored him anymore, looked at Xu Huang, then looked at Yang Feng, and said to Yang Feng: "This general, I, Xu Chu, the commander of the Runan Army, came to escort me on the order of my lord, I don't know which one is General Yang Fengyang, please tell General Yang that the guard of Luoyang City has been taken over by us, and your troops will immediately withdraw from the city and withdraw to the east gate, ready to meet my lord!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for the two to answer, he flicked his horsewhip and urged the war horse to go north.

Yang Feng and Xu Huang glanced at each other, and they both saw anger in each other's eyes, and at this time, Zhang Xiu put on a war horse again, and said to Xu Huang: "Hey, that big man, what's your name?" My name is Zhang Xiu, I have offended a lot today, and we will learn together in the future! ”

Seeing that his attitude became polite, Xu Huang also clenched his fists and said, "Xu Huang is waiting for General Zhang's challenge at any time!" ”

Zhang Xiu laughed when he heard this, and had already ridden away, looking at the direction he was going, he was heading towards Xicheng.

"General, what is the origin of this Runan Army, why is it so arrogant?"

Yang Feng replied: "The Runan Army is the army that annihilated the 30,000 Xiliang Army in Yangzhai before!" ”

"Oh, it's them!" Xu Huang nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, in Hanoi County, Cao Hong's 5,000-strong army was hurrying away, and he had already received news that the Runan Army had sent troops from the Tiger Prison Pass, which was much closer to Luoyang than Hanoi, which meant that he would most likely not have time to arrive in front of the Runan Army.

Cao Hong's army passed through Hanoi County and came to the Mengjin Ferry on the edge of the Yellow River, the southern bank of the Mengjin Ferry is the eastern capital Luoyang, from where it will take less than two hours for the army to reach the suburbs of Luoyang.

The Yellow River in the Qin and Han dynasties is not like a hanging river in later generations, the history of the Yellow River is in the Song Dynasty due to the social and economic development, the population in the north increased, which led to the soil erosion of the Loess Plateau increased year by year, this is the river flow slowed down, the riverbed sediment siltation, and many times so diverted, and the Yellow River has become a hanging river.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow River at this time was turbulent, and the river width was slightly narrower than that of later generations, and Mengjindu was not a commonly used ferry in the ancient ferries of the Yellow River, the reason is that it is a straight channel of the Yellow River after the transition from high latitudes, and the flow speed of the river is very turbulent here, so most people will choose to cross the river from Maojin upstream, where the water potential is much slower.

But at the moment, Cao Hong obviously had no choice, he had little time, and in order to make a detour to the Tiger Pass, he had to cross the Yellow River twice to reach Luoyang.

Mengjin ferry, Cao Jun and his soldiers took great pains to find more than 50 large and small boats, most of these boats are nearby fishing boats, limited tonnage, not large carrying capacity, in the turbulent water of the Yellow River is easy to capsize, but Cao Hong obviously has no way to wait for better ships to arrive, even these useless ships, in his opinion are very good, if the Runan army moves faster than them, then the ferry on the other side of the river will be controlled, so he can't find fault with anything at this time.

"The army crosses the river in batches, one at a time, and then empty the boat, come back to pick up people, pay attention to safety, and don't let the soldiers fall overboard!"

At this time, the fog on the Yellow River was thick, and the situation on the other side of the river could not be seen, so Cao Hong appeared cautious, and there were some episodes when his team crossed the river before, and a boat carrying more than 30 soldiers capsized in the middle of the river, causing more than 20 soldiers to drown, which greatly affected the morale of the whole army.

There were about 500 soldiers in a Qu Division, and there were 5,000 in Cao's army, which meant that the ferry would have to make more than ten round-trips to get them all across the river, and that would take at least five hours.

Cao Hong was anxious, so he crossed the river with the second batch of troops who crossed the river, he obviously couldn't wait for all the troops to cross the river, even if there were only a thousand people in his hands, he had to go to Luoyang City first, and 'invite' the young Han Tianzi to come out!

It's just that when Cao Hong landed with 500 people on the shore but found that the 500 people he had landed before had disappeared, Cao Hong was shocked, knowing that something was wrong, and his order to the first batch of troops to cross the river was to garrison on the spot and establish a beachhead to protect the landing army behind, so they would never disappear for no reason, there must be a reason or an accident, and the latter is more likely, because his troops have all disappeared and there is not even a single messenger left.

Suddenly, a rain of arrows came and fell all over the land in front of them, and there was a commotion in Cao's army, and when they looked up, they saw that a cavalry had surrounded them at some point.
