"Hmm." This time Zhang Chao didn't support it, he originally thought of this problem, although the Zhang family's heavy cavalry and the trapping camp are very strong, but the gap in strength, the danger naturally exists, but he didn't expect it to come so soon, and it has only been more than three hours since the beginning of the war.

"Okay, I'm ready. Xu Chu and Bu Qi went to meet the battle with two hundred iron guards, and blocked the enemy who was going to attack. ”

As soon as the voice fell, Xu Chu and Bu Qi on the side all said yes, and then rushed towards the mountain bag with two hundred iron guards.

At this moment, there were only four iron guards and Sima Yi standing beside Zhang Chao, plus countless tents behind him.

Xu Chu and Bu Qi killed them from the top of the mountain bag, and soon formed four blockade lines, one for every fifty people, and the one who rushed to the front was the fifty iron guards led by Bu Qi.

Bu Qi has long admired the Celestial Empire, but it was only because of a mistake that he became a general by Li Dian's side. Now that he has finally arrived in the Celestial Empire, he can work for it, or in front of the emperor, of course he has to behave well.

I saw that it rushed to the front, and then the plum blossom gun in his hand rolled, and several flowers were pointed, and the two tigers and leopards who were rushing towards the mountain bag were shot in front of them, and a red appeared first, and then the blood hole was getting bigger and bigger, and finally spread to the whole body.

Buqi's marksmanship is strong, even if it is an elite tiger and leopard horse, without the assistance of the war horse, it is difficult for someone to be his general, just a short cup of tea, the number of deaths in his hands is more than the number of hands.

The other guards also waved their steel knives continuously, slashing the rushing tiger and leopard riders under their swords.

To be able to become an iron guard, not only must be good, but also loyal. Usually following the emperor's side, it is rare to have any opportunity to perform, even if you want to make meritorious service, there is no trace, and now that you finally have such an opportunity, everyone doesn't want to give up and kill desperately.

Whether it was the foot guards or the iron guards, they all took out their best condition, but they gave a lot of blows to the tigers and leopards who rushed up the mountain. It's just that the number of people is still too huge, and in the end, more people walked past them and headed for the second line of defense.

This is also because the target of the tiger and leopard riding is Zhang Chao on the mountain bag, otherwise, under just a wave of impact, there are still fifty iron guards in Buqi, and I am afraid that few people will be alive.

The tiger and leopard riders were a little too numerous, and soon broke through the first line of defense, the second line of defense, and approached the third line of defense. All this made Cao Cao under the mountain very excited after seeing it.

Seeing that Cao Cao might be surrounded, at this time he felt that the blood in his whole body was flowing rapidly, "Quick, send more people to storm the mountain bag, Zhang Chao will be about to die." ”

Under the order, Cao Xiu organized more tigers and leopards to ride up their horses, breaking through the defense line of the trapped camp and attacking Zhang Chao's place.

Gao Shun, the main general of the camp, naturally also saw Zhang Chao's dangerous scene. As a loyal general, he will definitely not let the emperor have any problems behind him. "Warriors, the emperor is in danger because of the mistakes in our defensive line, and now I order, a counterattack at full speed, it is bound to suppress the enemy's morale, and we must not let them rush up the mountain in front of us."

Gao Shun was indeed a little anxious, after he finished shouting, he was the first to remove the heavy armor on his body, and then rushed down the mountain with a giant scythe and a big knife in his hand.

The strength of the trapped camp comes from the heavy armor on their bodies, which makes them invulnerable for a certain period of time, that is to say, with these heavy armor protections, only they can kill others, and it is difficult for others to hurt them.

However, there is also a fatal flaw, that is, their flexibility and initiative are limited to the most.

Because they are not flexible enough, they can only defeat the enemies they face, but if someone tries to walk past them, they don't have enough time to prevent it.

That's why the tiger and leopard riders can jump over them and rush up the mountain.

Knowing where his shortcomings were, Gao Shun simply abandoned the heavy armor, and in doing so, it naturally made their defense ability extremely low, but the same flexibility was also greatly improved, and it was not so easy for those tigers and leopards to ride over them and walk up the mountain.

The trapping camp suddenly changed its tactics, which put a lot of pressure on the tiger and leopard riders for a while, making it much more difficult for them to rush through the defense line and go up the mountain. This greatly relieved the pressure on Xu Chu and other iron guards on the mountain bag.

The Haw Par Riders continued to rush in without reinforcements, so that they finally did not have to face a steady stream of onslaught.

The battle has been going on, five or six hours have passed since Cao Cao ordered the charge, the sky has begun to darken, people's vision has been affected, and under the day's fighting, everyone's energy has been consumed a lot.

"Withdraw." Seeing that the momentum of the soldiers began to slow down, Cao Cao had to order the army to retreat. People are iron, food is steel, and if you don't eat for a day, you can't starve to death, but if you don't have enough physical strength, you can't accomplish the set goal.

As soon as the order to retreat was given, the tiger and leopard riders began to retreat. Unlike other armies, they retreated in an orderly and steady manner, making it impossible to find any major flaws.

Zhang Chao on top of the mountain bag also had a few blood stains on his white robe, which was not caused by his injury, but left over from the killing.

In the afternoon, six people on the tiger and leopard rode through the defense line of the iron guard and rushed to the front of Shanbao, Zhang Chao took the three-foot sword in his hand and moved, and at that moment, Sima Yi beside him also moved. For people from big families like them, practicing swordsmanship since childhood is also a compulsory course.

The blood stained the white clothes, which made Zhang Chao look even more ferocious at this time.

"Your Majesty, are you okay, you haven't eaten for a day, otherwise you should eat something." Sima Yi, who also had a knife mark on his arm, looked at Zhang Chao and seemed to have a bad face, so he greeted cautiously.

The tiger and leopard riders are not ordinary soldiers, their fierceness, just now Sima Yi understood it, he thought that under one to one, swordsmanship was no problem against an ordinary soldier, but he was still scratched on his arm, and he knew the strength of these enemies.

"None of my soldiers have eaten, and I have no right to eat anything." Zhang Chao replied to Sima Yi coldly.

Sima Yi's face changed, and he hurriedly kept silent, he knew that this time he seemed to have said the wrong thing again, fortunately, Zhang Chao was not scolding him next, which proved that he didn't mean to be angry with himself just now.

After this incident, Sima Yi understood better why Zhang Chao became strong all the way with the Celestial Empire, a leader who knew how to share weal and woe with soldiers, it would be a strange thing if he was not loved.

"Your Majesty, they want to withdraw." Tie Yi, one of the four iron guards responsible for protecting Zhang Chao, watched the tiger and leopard rider retreat down the mountain, and he had a resentful expression on his face. Within his sight, at least more than a hundred iron guards were cut to the ground, these are his comrades-in-arms, usually everyone talks and laughs when they meet, and their feelings are very deep, but now, more than half of them have left their lives here, thinking of so many comrades-in-arms dying, how can he not hate.

"Withdraw? Did you agree to kill so many of my people? Command them to go down, and hold them to the death. Zhang Chao also said in a cold voice with an angry face. He really didn't think about how many tigers and leopards were killed in this battle, and compared to his losses, I am afraid that they were close to twice as much.

The battle has been fought so far, it is true that no one wants to retreat, everyone has paid a heavy price, some people have long been red-eyed, watching their comrades-in-arms who get along day and night die in front of them, and some people have already begun to fight hard with red eyes.

The tiger and leopard had to retreat after the order, but Zhang Chao did not mean to stop, which made it much more difficult for them to leave the battlefield safely, seeing that in the process of retreating, Xu Chu and Bu Qi with more than 80 iron guards actually rushed down the mountain bag, and rushed to kill the retreating tiger and leopard riding with the trapped camp, Cao Cao under the mountain bag said with a sad face: "Is Zhang Zhiyuan crazy?" Did he really think I was afraid of him, that he really didn't want to see the sun rise tomorrow morning? ”

Cao Cao dared to say this, and he still had a certain amount of confidence. At least until now, he still has 2,000 tigers and leopards who have not been sent to the battlefield, this is his old book, with the protection of 2,000 people, he believes that he can attack and retreat, even if the battle becomes another situation, he can still leave safely.

In other words, these two thousand people are his way back, and he definitely doesn't want to send them out unless he has to.

However, the current Zhang Chao actually bit himself when he ordered to retreat, and seeing the tiger and leopard knights who were killed because of the retreat and a short period of chaos, Cao Cao was angry and drank.

Obviously, no matter how angry Cao Cao was, it would not affect Zhang Chao in the slightest. He on the mountain bag will not stop because he sees Cao Cao's anger, the two armies are fighting, it is your life and death, whoever is soft-hearted will definitely suffer.

"Your Majesty, our soldiers are retreating, their morale has dropped, and their formations are also chaotic, if they continue like this, they may be severely damaged, and I ask the king to order another attack." General Cao Xiu on the side naturally saw the scene happening in front of him, at this moment he finally couldn't endure it anymore, seeing the tiger and leopard riders he trained himself fell one after another on the way back, as the main general, he felt a breath of anger burning in his chest, and what he wanted to do most now was to rush forward and kill all those Celestial Empire soldiers who didn't know what to do.
