Chapter 573: The Battle of Guandu (2)

Cao Zhi, Xiahou Xuan, Cao Ren and others naturally focused their attention on the relatively anxious place, and Cao Hong's side was still commanded by Guan Kun, the general of the Yuan army.

Guan Kun is in his early forties, he has been in the Yuan clan for a long time, and he is considered an old general in the Yuan army, and he should also be a senior general in terms of qualifications, but now he is still licking the position of a humble general, which shows that he does not have much ability.

Despite this, Guan Kun still has a sense of shame, this time he is responsible for seducing Cao Hong, thinking that this is his last chance to be promoted, whether he can soar in the future and enter the central group of generals of the Yuan army, it will depend on this battle.

Although the strength of the soldiers and horses was not as strong as that of the east, west and south, the soldiers under Guan Kun attacked very fiercely, and the battle was extremely fierce.

After all, even if the offensive is not strong, but the soldiers of the Yuan army in Hebei have been trained for many years, they are all elite divisions, and with their strong individual combat ability, they still pose a great threat to the Cao army, and they forcibly pushed from under the earth city to the earth city.

However, the deeper they went, the stronger the resistance of Cao's army, the stronger the counterattack encountered, and as the fighting between the two sides intensified, the number of dead and wounded soldiers below gradually increased.

According to Yuan Shang and Fu Zhu's plan, when the battle is fought, Cheng DΓΉ can almost retreat, but Guan Kun still did not give the order to retreat, he has a bit of luck in his heart, if he really enters the city, defeats Cao Hong, recovers the north, and occupies the stronghold north of the city, he will definitely be rewarded by Yuan Shang after he returns.

But he forgot one thing, that is, his own ability was far inferior to Cao Hong.

Guan Kun can also be regarded as a battle-hardened battle, he took the lead, braved the rain of arrows to face the front of the fierce battle between the two sides, commanding the soldiers and horses to attack, and commanding the soldiers to press.

Cao Hong stood on the head of Tucheng. Seeing that Guan Kun's commanding soldiers were getting closer and closer to Tucheng, his eyes rolled, and he thought about it, and said, "Come on, quickly lead my war horse!" ”

Seeing that Cao Hong was about to send troops, the deputy general hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, saying, "General Cao, the prime minister has an order to let you not go to war......"

"Get out of the way!" Cao Hong waved his hand violently and pushed the deputy general away. Wrapped in battle, he went straight down.

At this moment, Guan Kun was commanding Yuan's army to climb the city, and suddenly heard a shout of killing, but it was Cao Hong who led a group of soldiers and horses to rush out of the city. went straight to Guan Kun.

As soon as Guan Kun saw Cao Hong's clothes and armor, he knew that he was not bad. I was overjoyed. At the moment, he also rode a horse to Cao Hong.

The two horses intersected, Guan Kun took the lead in attacking, suddenly stabbed the knife, and stabbed Cao Hong's body continuously.

Cao Hong easily blocked Guan Kun's offensive, laughed, and raised his knife to counterattack. No nonsense, it's a slap when it comes up.

Guan Kun hurriedly parried with his sword, only to hear a loud noise, and suddenly felt his arm numb. I secretly screamed in my heart, this guy has a lot of strength.

They fought together. The soldiers and horses of the two warring sides around automatically consciously gave way to a place, allowing the two to fight alone, and at the same time shouted loudly, cheering for their respective main generals.

Although Guan Kun's ability is average, his strength is not weak, and he is not as good as Cao Hong, but he is also an opponent in chess, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner in a short time.

The two of them fought a thrilling battle, and their respective soldiers were not willing to be lonely, first shouting and cheering for the released general, and then scolding each other, and then, the soldiers of both sides stood together again.

Although the combat power of the Yuan army is strong, after all, it does not have an advantage in the terrain, and the dark crossbow bows and arrows on the head of the city are all the help of the Cao army, and after fighting for a while, the disadvantage becomes more and more obvious.

Guan Kun couldn't fight for a long time, there was nothing he could do about Cao Hong, while beating him, he peeked at the soldiers around him, his own soldiers couldn't support it at the moment, and the casualties were not small, and if he continued to fight, he would obviously fall into an extremely dangerous situation, Guan Kun couldn't help but regret it a little at this moment, he really shouldn't be greedy for merit.

In the face of Cao Hong, he was obviously not an opponent, so he had no choice but to shake a knife and walk away, but he did not withdraw in time, and Cao Hong was slashed in the back, and the blood flowed.

Seeing Guan Kun fleeing, Cao Hong sneered and chased after him with a knife.

The deputy general behind him hurriedly galloped over from the side to dissuade Cao Hong: "The general can't chase deeply, the prime minister has an order, Zhuo you stick to the main thing, don't go to war without authorization......"

"Get out of the way!" Cao Hong raised his hand and interrupted the words of the deputy general, the deputy general didn't say it's good, as soon as he said it, he made a good contribution yesterday, but all the people didn't admit it, and said that what Yuan Jun was cheating, they won the battle is a victory, and I won the battle is a fraud? If you say anything today, you have to kill the enemy's commander, and after you turn your head, you will see what else they have to say.

Thinking of this, Cao Hong hurriedly raised his knife to chase after him, but it was the Yuan army that had already supported Guan Kun's retreat, and only a few cavalry came to stop it.

Guan Kun was bleeding from his back, and shouted at the Yuan soldiers as he ran: "Withdraw, the whole army quickly withdraw!" ”

As soon as the main general ran, where did the soldiers below still have the morale to continue fighting, and they followed him desperately to retreat outside, just in response to the sentence that the army was defeated like a mountain, the soldiers pushed me and squeezed, and ran wildly, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Cao Hong followed closely behind Yuan Jun, shouting loudly while chasing: "Brothers, follow me, kill Yuan Jun, and avenge the ancestors!" ”

Yuan Jun's defeat was a complete defeat, and it was ugly. Despite this, the rapid march led by Guan Kun still managed to escape from the battlefield.

It stands to reason that if the battle was like this, Cao Hong should have made friends and accepted it, but he refused to let it go, perhaps in order to take a breath of relief with Cao Zhi and others, he led the army to desperately pursue Guan Kun, but he refused to let go.

Seeing that he chased out a few miles of land, there was an official road forest in the distance, Guan Kun and others panicked, hurriedly plunged inside, Cao Hong followed, but not long after entering the woods, they heard a neigh, but it was the sudden appearance of the tripping horse rope that tripped several cavalry in front of Cao Hongjun to the ground, after the horse fell, the person on his back was lifted far away, and he fell to the ground without saying a word.

"Whoa!" Cao Hong hurriedly stopped his horse and frowned.

He has been on the battlefield for many years and has a lot of experience, and when he sees this, he can immediately understand that someone has set up an ambush on the road, and he can think of it without guessing. The other party must be Yuan Jun.

In an instant, the cold sweat behind Cao Hong flowed out a little, and at this time, the sound of two plates in the woods suddenly shook the sky, and countless Yuan soldiers poured out from the side of the road, and then, the sound of horse hooves in front of him was bursting, but there were hundreds of elite horsemen rushing towards him.

"Oops!" Cao Hong let out a low cry and scolded loudly: "All face the battle!" Against! ”

There was no need for him to shout, Cao Jun had already fought with Yuan Jun on both sides of the woods.

This battle. At the beginning, Cao Jun was still able to hold on, but Yuan Jun's soldiers and horses gathered more and more, and they fought later. Cao's army was basically all scattered, either killed or exiled. Look around. The dense crowd was full of Yuan soldiers.

Cao Hong fought bloodily, led several elite cronies to turn around and open a way of life, and went straight to Tucheng, at this moment he had some reactions, knowing that last night in the tent, Cao Zhi Xiahou Ba and others were telling the truth. Yuan's weak attack on the north was indeed a trick, but he was angry and confused for a while. didn't go to his heart, and disobeyed Cao Zhi's military order without permission.

But after all, Cao Hong is one of the few remaining fierce generals in Cao's army, although he was ambushed, he still fought a bloody way, he didn't dare to stay, and went straight to the direction of Tucheng to return, this time he had to listen to the prime minister's words.

It's a pity that once people go wrong. There is no chance to regret it, and Yuan Shang will not give Cao Hong this opportunity.

On the way back, there was already a Biao army robbing his way back, waiting for Cao Hong to throw himself into the net.

The two leading generals are Gao Ran and Gan Ning of Yuan Jun.

Seeing Cao Hong leading the defeated army coming, the corners of Gao Lan's mouth were raised high, revealing his white teeth, and a cruel sneer rose on his face.

"General Cao Zilian, Your Excellency is in a hurry, where do you want to go?"

Seeing that his way back was blocked, Cao Jun, who had returned, couldn't help but show a desperate expression on his face.

Cao Hong looked at Gao Lan, and a sadness suddenly rose in his heart, as one of the four court pillars in Hebei back then, how could Cao Hong not recognize him.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Gao Lan! ”

Gao Ran smiled and said, "It's an honor and honor, I didn't expect Your Excellency to recognize me." ”

"Up! Fight with them! Cao Hong was helpless at the moment, and could only hope to kill another bloody road, and his soldiers and horses also knew this truth, and then rushed towards Yuan Jun with grinning teeth.

How can Gao Ran and Zhang Yan and others wait for work, this Biao army is the elite of the Wuji Battalion, the Gray Frost Battalion, and the Xiandeng Battalion, forgive Cao Hong and others How can they be the enemy at the end of the strong crossbow, but it didn't take a while, and Cao Hongjun was beaten to the point of wolf crying and howling, hugging his head and running away.

About a moment and a half, the battle on the field came to an end, and then looked at the official road, all of them were the corpses of Cao Jun, and Cao Hong was covered in blood, standing in place, looking at each other coldly, he sat down and the horse had been shot by the crossbow of the first camp, and he could only fight on foot at this moment.

Looking around, Gao Ran slowly dropped the war knife in his hand and said with a smile: "No one is there." ”

Gan Ning shrugged casually, pointed at Cao Hong and said, "Who said that, isn't there another fucking one?" ”

Gao Ran nodded and said, "Well, that's good." It's a big fish. After that, he licked his lips and said with a smile: "Leave this to me!" ”

After speaking, he was about to step forward, but when he saw Gan Ning raise his hand, he suddenly pulled him and said, "I'm sorry, this big fish should be Lao Tzu!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

Gao Ran was shocked when he heard this, and said, "The surname is Gan, you dare to steal merit from me?" ”

Gan Ning smiled, shook his head and said, "It's not to take credit, I'm afraid that you won't be able to beat him." ”

Gao Ran was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Fart, what can't a defeated general at the end of a strong crossbow beat!" You're clearly trying to rob me of my credit! ”

Gan Ning smiled and said, "What about robbing, who stipulated that his head is yours?" ”

Gao Ran was furious when he heard this: "Bastard, you have only been taking refuge in the lord for a few years, and you dare to talk to me like this?" It's against you! I am the lord's descendant general, the south and the north to fight, and have made countless contributions, I will fight the world for the lord, you are still a water thief in the Yangtze River cat! ”

Gan Ning pursed his lips with disdain and said: "Don't use these big truths to suppress Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is now the governor of the Hebei Navy Army, and his identity is not under you~!" I'm determined to take this head today, if you are not convinced, rely on your ability to live Lao Tzu! ”

Gao Ran frowned: "What's the matter?" You mean you want to share the win or loss with me? ”

Gan Ning smiled and said, "I'm afraid you won't dare!" ”

Gao Lan pulled the war horse, put on a posture, and said, "Okay!" Come! ~Come on! If you're afraid of you, it's not the Hebei general, come on, come on, you and I won't live or die! ”

Gan Ning smiled, waved the tiger head knife, and said, "Okay, interesting!" Lao Tzu will take a look today, what kind of ability did you, the Hebei general, have been in the main weapon for so long! ”

The two of them are facing Mai Mang, and they have the potential to compete for Cao Hong's head.

At this juncture, I saw a soldier sweating profusely and coming to the two of them, and said in a low voice: "Two generals, don't fight, there's no point." ”

Gao Ran and Gan Ning turned their heads together, looked at him and said, "What? ”

The sergeant Yuan swallowed lightly and said in a low voice: "Two generals, don't rob it, Cao Hong, kill yourself......"

"............" (To be continued......)
