Since the start of the army against Cao Cao, Cao Hong has been following Cao Cao to cut and kill, and Cao Hong doesn't know how many big and small battles he has fought.

Cao Hong is actually a very experienced general, and the reason why he was able to fall into Zhang He's ambush.

A large part of the reason is because he hates Zhang He too much, so the whole person has lost his mind a little.

Now, a big stone in all directions can be regarded as smashing Cao Hong awake.

After sobering up, Cao Hong seemed to be a different person.

Cao Hong understands that the more this time, he can't retreat.

Hulu Gukou, the reason why it is called Hulu Gukou, is because he is small in front and big in the back.

Now once the order is given to retreat, all the soldiers and horses will be blocked in the narrow place at the mouth of the gourd.

At that time, there is no need for Zhang He to beat him, they can trample most of them to death if they step on their own people.

Now you have to go back and kill to the back of the gourd.

The gourd has a small mouth and a big buttocks, and the gourd butt has a lot of space, and only when you kill that position can you let go of your hands and feet to resist Zhang He's army.

Cao Hong understands this truth, and Zhang He also understands this truth.

Zhang He also knew that Cao Hong couldn't be so easily killed from the gourd's mouth to the gourd's butt.

Cao Hong's soldiers and horses could not be deployed at the mouth of the gourd, and this was the best time for Zhang He to kill the enemy.

If Cao Hong is allowed to kill the gourd butt, once the soldiers and horses are deployed, it will become a tough battle.

"Shoot the arrows!" On the hillside, Zhang He calmly gave this order.

After the first round of boulders fell, there was a second round of arrow rain.

In the narrow position of the gourd mouth, Cao Hong's soldiers and horses could not be used at all, and rounds of arrows rained down, and the soldiers under Cao Hong's command were shot down by at least two or three thousand.

"Zhang He!"

"I'm at odds with you!" Cao Hong watched the soldiers under his command continue to fall, and gritted his teeth angrily.

Now, Cao Hong's face is red with anger, just like Guan Gong.

"Give the order to go down and block the perimeter with horses!"

"Block the rain of arrows with horses!" Cao Hong ordered.

At this time, human life is more precious than horse life.

If people die, these horses will have to be taken by Zhang He.

The horse is going to die, the person is alive, and he can still fight with Zhang He.

Cao Hong gave an order, and these soldiers under his command drove the horses to form a wall, and everyone hid behind the horses.

With the shielding of horses, the power of Zhang He's arrow rain is greatly reduced.

"Kill!"

"Kill them!" Zhang He gave the order.

Cao Hong caught up with 10,000 cavalry, and Zhang He only left 5,000 infantry to ambush.

However, just after a round of boulders, plus a round of arrow rain.

Cao Hong's men were stoned to death, shot to death, and scattered, adding up to more than 5,000 people.

Moreover, since Cao Hong ordered the use of horses as a wall to block arrows, now, these horses are basically shot to death.

Without horses, Cao Hong's cavalry became infantry.

Now, the soldiers and horses of the two sides can be said to be evenly matched.

Although the strength of the troops is equal, Cao Hong's morale is far inferior to Zhang He!

Cao Hong was the one who was ambushed, and he suffered setbacks one after another, and his morale was in turmoil.

Zhang He led his men to rush down from the top of the hill, and soon, the two sides were strangled together, and they engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

In ancient wars, morale was a very important factor in determining victory or defeat.

At this time, Zhang He's army was in high spirits, while Cao Hong's army was panicked.

As a result, although everyone had equal strength, Cao Hong's army was defeated and retreated.

The soldiers and horses of the two sides were strangled together, but Cao Hong was very brave.

He held a big knife and slashed left and right, and the enemy troops around him were swept away.

These ordinary soldiers did not have a unified enemy in the face of Cao Hong.

These Cao Jun, not everyone is Cao Hong.

These ordinary Cao troops do not have Cao Hong's force, nor do they have Cao Hong's courage.

No matter how brave Cao Hong is, he can't reverse the decline.

At this time, Cao Hong saw an acquaintance.

Who is this acquaintance?

This acquaintance is none other than Zhang He.

After seeing Zhang He, Cao Hong's eyes turned red, not to mention red, and he was about to bleed out.

"Zhang He!"

"You exchange the lives of my three thousand leopard rider brothers!" Cao Hong shouted, and with a big knife, he killed Zhang He.

Cao Hong rushed to Zhang He's front and slashed with a knife.

Zhang He thought to himself, I can't stand it if I kill you with three thousand leopards?

In the battle of Wuchao, how many of our brothers died in the fire.

Ju Yi, Gao Ran, who is in charge of the palace, these two are also my brothers, I don't know if they are dead or alive now?

How many of our brothers who are in charge of the temple have died?

There is also Yecheng, you took Yecheng and killed my lord and the third son.

I still have to find you Cao Jun generals to settle this account!

On the battlefield, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers.

What's the matter, your Cao army can only win, not lose?

Thinking of this, Zhang He was not used to Cao Hong, and he also raised his knife to kill Cao Hong.

Cao Hong slashed at him with a knife, and Zhang He also shot at Cao Hong.

"Dang!" With a loud bang, the guns and knives collided together, and the two of them also fought an even match.

This knife did not distinguish the winner or loser, Cao Hong's second knife slashed up again, and Zhang He was not weaker than the inferior at all, and he shot and Cao Hong together.

Cao Hong and Zhang He's martial arts can be regarded as half a catty, and for a while, they can't tell the winner.

The two fought for seventy or eighty rounds, and they still didn't distinguish between high and low.

At this time, Cao Hong's lieutenant came forward and shouted at Cao Hong: "General, retreat!" ”

"Brethren, I can't hold on!"

Although Cao Hong was on a par with Zhang He's battle here, his brothers were killed by Zhang He's soldiers and horses.

If Cao Hong didn't withdraw at this time, he would be surrounded by Zhang He's soldiers and horses.

Cao Hong glanced around him, except for a small number of Cao troops, all of his soldiers and horses were Zhang He's soldiers.

If he didn't withdraw, he would either die in battle or be captured by Zhang Hesheng.

Cao Hong gritted his teeth and roared at Zhang He: "Zhang He, I will take your head another day." ”

After putting down a cruel word, Cao Hong also withdrew towards his own soldiers and horses.

After withdrawing his own position, Cao Hong immediately ordered the defense to be retracted, and by this time, it was already dark.

Thinking about it, Zhang He didn't dare to attack anymore.

Sure enough, as Cao Hong expected, after Cao Hong contracted his defense, Zhang He stopped attacking.

First, it's dark, and attacking while it's dark, that's a way to break the boat.

Second, Zhang He also knows what it means to accept it when he sees it.

Zhang He's purpose was to ambush Cao's pursuers, and now, the goal has been achieved.

There is no doubt that after Cao Hong suffered this big loss, he would definitely not dare to pursue rashly.
