Chapter 42: Shooting
Zhang He's heart became more and more anxious, he could even feel that at the north gate of the city, the soldiers under his command could not hold out for long, the new Shu army left and right and the first three armies were all capable of fighting, Liu Bei's Chinese army was comparable to any team of men and horses in the world's strongest army, and the morale was at its peak, which was not something that could be stopped by the tired division of his own brigade, not to mention that the only one who could preside over the overall situation was not in the north gate.
If they fail to reach the East Gate safely, they will join General Miaocai and then retreat to Guanzhong, wouldn't they be unable to live with the thousands of brothers at the North Gate?
The gun in Huo Yi's hand was getting faster and faster, and Zhang He's heart was getting more and more anxious, but the gun in his hand couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and he almost died many times Huo Yi's gun.
The two of them come and go in this not spacious road, the sky is dark, Huo Yi is even more cautious in his heart, this Zhang He really deserves the title of the five good generals, such force, if he is in plain place, he is definitely not an opponent, he can be worthy of a tie with Zhang He, most of which is due to the favorable position of his army in praise at this moment.
Zhang He was anxious, he couldn't take the big enemy in front of him in a hurry, and when he was thinking about how to get rid of this fight and break through, Huo Yi grabbed a shot, Zhang He could resist it, but Huo Yi took out his left hand and pulled out a sharp sword to stab Zhang He under the armpit.
Zhang He broke out in a cold sweat, turned around sharply, and dodged the fatal sword. Holding the gun in his right hand, pressing the horse's head with his left hand, his body floated on the horse, and his left foot lightning kicked out, heading straight for the back of Huo Yi's head.
Huo Yi was shocked at the subtlety of this joint riding technique, and he could do it to such an extent without the effect of a saddle stirrup. Even Huo Yi can't do it. I had to bow my head to dodge this kick, and the gun was forced. Shaking open the weak Zhang He, he used both guns and swords to slash at Zhang He's back.
Zhang He jumped off the horse, dodged Huo Yi's blade, and then pressed the horse's back and flew on the horse, stabbing with a spear.
Huo Yi took a gun to greet him, but he heard the sergeant behind him scattered, and a thunderclap sounded: "Xiahou Yuan is here." Who dares to fight me! ”
Huo Yi complained in his heart, there were still too few people under his command who could fight with such famous generals, and he had to be alone, he thought that he could use Xu Sheng for his own use, Xu Sheng also agreed, but he never thought that the lord was going to leave this person. This is not the time to complain. Kankan dodged Zhang He's gun, left the battlefield, and looked back, but saw Xiahou Yuan leading a group of elite cavalry of the Cao army to kill the cavalry behind him.
The narrow alley became the biggest obstacle that the cavalry could not use. The Jingnan cavalry who couldn't turn around was attacked by Cao's army, but they were caught off guard.
That Xiahou Yuan was about to kill the Shu army formation. Straight to Huo Yi: "Don't panic!" Let's lead the sons and daughters to go first, and break off with you! ”
Huo Yi complained bitterly in his heart, if he didn't act rashly and confronted that Zhang He's short soldier, he was afraid that he would be killed with crossbow arrows just at this moment. The 3,000 military horses have also become hedgehogs, how can they have such a situation?
But this is not the time to complain. Huo Yi shouted coldly: "Abandon the horse to the wall and shoot with crossbow arrows!" ”
Abandoned Zhang He, who was fighting with him, retreated to the side of the wall under the protection of his guards, drew the crossbow on horseback, took the quiver, climbed the wall first, and prepared the crossbow to shoot.
Huo Yi's cavalry is also a good hand at shooting, and most of these cavalry are equipped with strong crossbows, simply let go of their horses, block the two armies, each on the wall, with crossbow arrows to kill Zhang He's cavalry, Xiahou Yuan was going to kill through the Shu army formation, but suddenly these Shu army cavalry everyone abandoned their horses and left, the war horses were frightened but scurrying in the road, that is, Xiahou Yuan's riding skills are profound, and he did not dare to run back in the chaotic horse, so he had to be on the other side, seeing that Zhang He's men and horses were fighting less and less, but there was nothing to do.
Zhang He knew that if he went on like this, there would only be one way to be defeated, so he simply didn't do anything, and led the remnants of his soldiers to rush to the chaotic horse formation. He knew that only by being together with Xiahou Yuan's men and horses could he have any hope of survival. He was originally a martyr, but the battle of the ditch exhausted his courage, and when he was desperate, when he was bent on death, Xu Gongming saved him, but in this life, he didn't have the courage to face death again, because he died once, so he knew what it was like.
Therefore, after he had no hope of rescuing the West Gate, he abandoned the thousands of soldiers at the North Gate, led the 3,000 men and horses to run to the East Gate, and retreated to Guanzhong with Xiahou Yuan. But at this moment, he can't help but fight desperately, and he doesn't break through the chaotic formation, only one way to lose.
Zhang He's cavalry collided with the chaotic horse, and Huo Yi subconsciously felt that at that moment, time seemed to stand still. Zhang He still got out of trouble in the end, and was about to join forces with Xiahou Yuan, at this moment, Huo Yi was holding a crossbow arrow, looking at the angzang but thin figure a hundred meters away, and slowly raised the crossbow machine in his hand.
Breathe softly, aim, and pull the crossbow machine. "Bang!" The spring slammed into the feathered arrow, "Whoosh! Huo Yi could even see the trajectory of those faint white feathers flying out, the arrow passed through countless military horse knights, and accurately nailed the back of the figure's neck, and the blood stains flying out were very clear in the bright tunnel of the bonfire.
"Boom!" It seemed that the whole world was quiet, Xiahou Yuan subconsciously looked at Huo Yi standing tall on the wall, his face turned pale, only overnight, this son killed two of my generals in a row!
Cao Jun's morale was greatly reduced, and Huo Yi said coldly: "The cavalry is on the horse!" Don't let one go! ”
Guan Xingzheng was standing behind Huo Yi, this battle was really exciting, even most of the time he just stood on one side, quietly paying attention, and there was a feeling of blood gushing. When Xu Gongming and Zhang He fell one after another, Guan Xing knew that this battle was basically over. It's just that the circle is not complete, it just depends on whether the last person can escape.
Huo Yi didn't want to let go of the Hanzhong general, so he urged the war horse under his crotch to take the lead and chase Xiahou Yuan away.
At this time, Li He was assembling his subordinates, but he saw that Huo Yi and Guan Xing were riding after Xiahou Yuan and thousands of horses. Hurriedly ordered the pursuit, and led a part of his men and horses to take the lead.
Xiahou Yuan didn't look back, he was really frightened, that is, he swept the barbarians in the northwest and was used to seeing the scene of killing people, and it was still difficult to imagine the scene of two generals dying in succession. Since Prime Minister Guandu's victory, even in the Battle of Chibi, how have you ever seen such a scene?
Although Xu Huang and Zhang He are not the most brave people under the command of the prime minister, but the two of them marched and fought in an extremely orderly manner, which was more rare than the brave man.
Xiahou Yuan fled all the way, that is, when he arrived at the east gate, he also beckoned the guards to flee for their lives, and without looking back, they ran out of the east gate of Baodong. (To be continued......)
