Chapter 51: A desperate battle
Almost instantly, hundreds of remnants of Cao's army were killed crying for their fathers and mothers, and most of them were killed and wounded, and they fled one after another.
Faced with such a situation, Zhang He's face changed, and with a wave of the long lance in his hand, he pointed at Zhao Yun's pursuers: "Everyone, kill with the general, Zhao Yun's thief is too deceitful, kill with me!" โ
So Xu Huang waved the giant axe in his hand to cut down several Zhao Yun tribes who rushed to the front of him, led a hundred and ten pro-troops, protected Cheng Yu in the middle, fought his way out of the encirclement, and ran in the direction of Zhang Hu's army.
Zhao Yun saw at a glance that Zhang He and Xu Huang wanted to escape, so he raised the gentian bright silver spear, pointed at Zhang He, slapped the horse and rushed over, and shouted: "Everyone, kill them with me, you can't let them go." โ
"The lord wants you to die, don't let any of you escape today!"
Li Kan, who had already killed the red-eyed man, roared, and the war knife in his hand instantly cut down several Cao Jun.
Under the leadership of Zhao Yun and Li Kan, a group of Zhao Yun's foot soldiers behind him directly stopped and killed, and cut Zhang He and Xu Huang's remnants in half in an instant.
This kind of change happened suddenly, Zhang He and Xu Huang rushed to kill in front, but accidentally left Cheng Yu behind, and some Cao Jun who wanted to protect Cheng Yu were picked up by Zhao Yun with a shot.
Seeing that he was out of touch with Zhang He and the others, Cheng Yu panicked in his heart, urging the war horse under him, but he couldn't rush out, so he could only shout at Zhang He who was far away: "General Junyi, save me, save me-"
Zhang He and Xu Huang heard Cheng Yu's cry for help, so they turned around and saw Cheng Yu, who had been surrounded by a group, and had fallen a long distance from themselves and the others.
"Junyi, you go first, I'll save him!" Xu Huang restrained the war horse, carried his axe, and turned around to go back to rescue Cheng Yu.
Zhang He grabbed him suddenly, and said in a panic: "There are really too many enemy troops, if you want to go back to save him, it will only cause us to lose the opportunity to escape, let's go, if we don't leave, it's too late." โ
Xu Huang's figure was shocked, and the tiger's eyes couldn't help but leak a look of disbelief, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yu, who had always been regarded as a big help by Zhang He, was ruthlessly abandoned by Zhang He, Cao Cao's general, at such a critical juncture of life and death.
After being silent for a while, Xu Huang looked at Cheng Yu, shook his head helplessly, gritted his teeth, turned around and followed Zhang He, and together with Zhang He, he desperately accelerated the speed of the horse, throwing Cheng Yu's shouts behind his head and turning a deaf ear.
Surrounded by countless Zhao Yun's subordinates, Cheng Yu looked at Zhang He and Xu Huang, who were getting farther and farther away, and had already left him here, and suddenly couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart.
Cheng Yu, who was ruthlessly left behind, can only rely on himself at the moment, only to see him desperately driving the war horse under his crotch, trying to escape from Zhao Yun's clutches.
And on Cheng Yu's side, Li Kan had already been killed.
Zhao Yun, who followed closely, recognized that this was Cao Cao's strategist Cheng Yu at a glance, and the anger in his heart was even worse, and he immediately rushed towards Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu was one of Cao Cao's most relied on advisors, but now he was following Zhang He's camp, and it was obviously Cao Cao's order to give Zhang He advice to take down Zhao Yun.
Looking at it this way, Zhang He's invasion of Tianshui County was definitely Cao Cao's intention, and even Han Sui made an obstacle to avenge his personal revenge.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun suddenly became angry, Zhao Yun looked at Cheng Yu and became angry, and scolded loudly.
; "Li Kan, take him down for me!"
Li Kan also recognized that this was the strategist who followed Zhang He all the way to kill him, whether it was the lord's order or the humiliation in Li Kan's own heart, it made him furious, without a trace of hesitation, Li Kan roared directly, and dragged his sword and rushed towards Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu didn't know martial arts at all, and suddenly felt a murderous aura attacking behind him, and when he looked back, the war knife in Li Kan's hand was already in front of him at this time.
Cheng Yu, who was terrified, didn't have time to pull out his saber to resist, and the knife in Li Kan's hand, the sharp back of the knife, turned into a streamer and directly hit Cheng Yu's stomach.
"Poofโ"
I saw a mouthful of old blood splashing out of Cheng Yu's mouth, Cheng Yu just covered his stomach, like a kite with a broken string, flew out of the horse directly, and fell heavily to the ground.
"Come, tie this man up to me! I'll try him when I'm free! โ
Zhao Yun walked past Cheng Yu, but did not look at Cheng Yu, and said to Li Kan, "Li Kan, we continue to chase and kill them with the army, and we must not let that Zhang He escape again." โ
The two monarchs and ministers, one with a gun and the other with a knife, jointly strangled a famous Cao Jun, stepped on the corpse of Cao Jun on the ground, and chased Zhang He relentlessly.
Zhang He, who had been running in front, originally thought that Cheng Yu could still hold Zhao Yun for a while, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yu was so useless, he couldn't even take Li Kan's move, and he was knocked off the horse with only one blow.
Zhang He looked back and saw that the pursuers were only more than ten steps away from him, and he was immediately taken aback, and quickly turned around and scolded a general next to Xu Huang.
"Zhang Si, you led some of your brothers to stay behind and break off, and the others withdrew with me and Gongming."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Huang's face couldn't help but change greatly, and he looked at Zhang He in surprise.
Now there are less than 100 personal soldiers left around him and Zhang He, and there are more than 1,000 followers behind Zhao Yun, even if Zhang He's personal soldier leader is powerful, how can he resist an enemy ten times his own strength with his own strength.
It can be said that if these pro-soldiers stop to block the enemy at this moment, they are undoubtedly jumping into the fire pit and killing themselves.
"General Zhang He, the enemy is outnumbered, and I can't let the soldiers go to death again." Xu Huang couldn't bear to say to Zhang He.
Zhang He glanced at Xu Huang with disdain, and said angrily: "This is the general's order, Xu Gongming, the military order is like a mountain, do you want to resist the order?" โ
Xu Huang's face changed when Zhang He said it, his heart was ruthless, he gritted his teeth, and his face, which had turned blue, showed a little unbearable, he knew very well that Zhang He was going to use the lives of a group of soldiers to get a chance to escape.
"Alas-" With a long sigh, Xu Huang turned around, took dozens of his own personal soldiers around him, and followed Zhang Si's footsteps with a sense of anger, and aimed the giant axe in his hand at a group of pursuers.
After all, Xu Huang still couldn't bear to watch Zhang Hexin be ruthless, and Cheng Yu had been left behind. There couldn't be one less!
Even if he would be punished for disobeying Zhang He's military order when he went back today, he would admit it!
Looking at Zhao Yun who was not far away, Xu Huang had no choice, he accelerated the speed of the yellow horse under his crotch, and the giant axe directly split the heads of countless Zhao Yun's subordinates, and he just fought to the death at Zhao Yun.
