Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 482 Killing Cao Zhen, Great Victory
At three o'clock in the evening, the sun fell into the west mountain, but the sky was not completely dark, and the gorgeous fire clouds burned the sky, illuminating the earth dimly and brightly.

Towards dusk, the battlefield on the west side of Leishou Mountain became more and more fierce, with [-] Han troops and [-] Cao troops fighting to the death.

The wilderness is full of enemy soldiers fighting back and forth. Cao Zhen was relatively close to the Han army camp before, less than a hundred steps away from the Han army camp. Later, he moved away a little, but not too far.

He set up a trap, targeting Shen Chenbu, who had been fighting for a day in the main battalion of the Han army. At this moment, all the remaining soldiers in the main battalion of the Han army moved out to fight with his ambushing soldiers and horses.

After reckoning that it should be safe, Cao Zhen observed the situation in the distance from the edge of the battlefield, and there were only hundreds of personal guards around him to protect him.

At this moment, a Han army broke through the siege, and Cao Zhen's personal guards focused on them. Behind the gentle slope of the river, more than [-] Han soldiers approached silently.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, the sound of knives and spears ping-pong, Shen Chen walked quietly, and when there were only about thirty steps, a Cao soldier suddenly turned his head.

He turned his head and saw the Han army not far behind him. Almost in just a second, the man opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth wide, and let out a sharp cry.

"Enemy attack!"

The heart-piercing cry pierced the entire sky.

Without hesitation, Shen Chen flicked his legs, and rushed out like an arrow, roaring: "Kill!"

"kill!"

Behind them, Deng Ai, Jiang Wei and the soldiers of the pro-guard broke out with terrifying roars at the same time, and the momentum was shocking.

It wasn't until this time that Cao Zhen's personal guards realized that they turned their heads one after another, and bumped into the Han army who came over by surprise.

Shen Chen rushed to the front. He held the tiger gallbladder knife in both hands, and slashed at a soldier of Cao army head-on.

A Cao Jun on the right stabbed Shen Chen's right waist silently, but then he groaned and was stabbed to death by Deng Ai on Shen Chen's right.

But the crisis was not resolved immediately, and three more Cao Jun stabbed at the same time. The weapons in their hands were all spears, which were divided into three different directions. Normal people had to retreat at least to avoid it.

However, Shen Chen was not afraid, tilted his head, slashed the knife in his hand obliquely, and then leaped lightly with his whole body, the height of the jump was less than two feet, and the three spears immediately pierced through the air.

Before they retracted and continued to stab again, Shen Chen jumped up with the tiger gut knife in his hand, slashed one person first, then kicked to the left, held the spear shaft of the person in the middle with his left hand, and moved forward. Slashing with a knife, blood spattered again.

Surrounded by mobs of enemy soldiers stabbing back and forth with spears, Deng Ai and Jiang Wei provided cover for Shen Chen. The three of them plus a few personal guards formed an assault team, and cut down more than a dozen people in an instant. .

"Governor, step back first!"

The captain of Cao Jun's personal guard saw the fierceness of the Han army who came in surprise, and quickly wanted to pull Cao Zhenma.

But Cao Zhen looked around the battlefield. The situation on the battlefield is very chaotic now. There are soldiers fighting from both sides everywhere. No matter where his banner goes, it will be surrounded by the Han army madly. It is better to stay where it is.

After all, this place was originally the edge of the battlefield, and it would not be possible to run to other places to become the focus, so Cao Zhen immediately glared over and said, "Retreat, retreat, bloody battle!"

"only!"

The captain of the personal guard could only shout angrily: "Blood battle!"

"bloody battle!"

Cao Jun also burst into loud shouts.

The two sides fought together, the fighting continued, and people fell down on the chaotic battlefield.

After beheading several Cao soldiers again, Shen Chen raised his head and saw Cao Zhen's banner was close at hand, less than twenty feet away.

Under the big banner, there was a man wearing black armor and riding a black horse, with a red cloak fluttering behind him, and he was also looking at him, as if they were looking at each other from a distance.

Cao Zhen!

Shen Chen's face froze, and his gnarled arm muscles instantly swelled up, and then he swung his knife again to block the spear that was stabbing obliquely, and then moved the knife horizontally, and then stabbed forward violently.

Cao Jun who was attacking him suddenly bled profusely, let go of the spear in his hand, covered the wound on his chest and retreated step by step, and fell down unwillingly.

Then he stormed forward again, like a sharp sword, slashing fiercely in the direction of Cao Zhen.

"Governor, the enemy is coming."

When the captain of the personal guard saw this scene, he became very anxious.

Cao Zhen actually saw Shen Chen, but he didn't know that it was Shen Chen.

Because he had never met the other party, and Shen Chen's own banner was still in the Han camp over there, so he didn't bring it with him at all, so he couldn't help but sigh: "Shen Chen is so lucky to have such a strong general."

"Great Governor!"

The captain took the bridle of his horse to go.

But Cao Zhen got off his horse and scolded: "There is no way to retreat. This battle was originally our sneak attack on Shen Chen. I didn't expect Shen Chen to be prepared. Our strength was much larger than theirs, but now it has become a chaotic battle. Where can I retreat to?"

As he spoke, he untied the red cloak tied behind him, pulled out the knife at his waist, and said coldly: "Now we have to fight to the death, and gather morale with my banner. In the camp, there is a chance of winning, and we will fight with our backs, and at this moment, soldiers, follow me to kill!"

"Kill!"

Dozens of guards around roared.

Cao Zhen took the lead and charged towards the Han army.

Soon he encountered the No.1 enemy and was entangled with another Cao Jun.

Without hesitation, Cao Zhen attacked from the side, slashed and killed one person first, then dodged the other person's knife, and stabbed the person obliquely to death.

Because Shen Chen went from his left side directly to the direction of Cao Zhen in the middle, but Cao Zhen did not rush at him, but went straight to his right side, so the two of them missed perfectly.

But Cao Zhen's big banner kept moving with him. Even if the coach personally attacked and killed him, there were still two soldiers behind him holding up the big banner to follow him all the time.

Shen Chen saw with his own eyes the big banner almost slipping away in front of his eyes, furiously rose up and chased after him.But now both sides are red-eyed. The soldiers of the Han army are brave and good at fighting, but the soldiers of the Cao army are equally brave.

Although everyone is tired and hungry, they don't regard themselves as living beings, and they don't have any delusions about going back alive. They only hope that they can drag the enemy to their backs when they die, so they are extremely fierce.

One by one shouted and cursed and stabbed at the enemy with knives and guns in their hands. Even if their arms and legs were cut off by the enemy, they still hugged each other and never let go.

The speed of Shen Chen's pursuit was seriously hindered, and each time he had to clear at least seven or eight Cao Jun to continue chasing for more than a dozen steps.

After fighting for a while, he finally approached Cao Zhen step by step. Facing the assault of his fierce team, the guards around Cao Zhen acted extremely bravely, almost dragging Shen Chen to death with a human wall.

A Cao soldier's arm was cut off, and he fell to the ground. He still hugged his leg with his other hand, bit his foot with his teeth, and his eyes were red as if he wanted to eat people.

Although Shen Chen sighed for a moment in his heart that Cao Zhenzhi's army is really good, he is one of the very few generals who can make the guards work so hard, but he did not show any mercy, the tip of the knife cut the soldier's neck, and sent him to see him Taizu raised his sword again.

"boom!"

There was a violent sound of metal rubbing against each other, and this powerful blow was blocked by Shen Chen.

Cao Zhen's face approached in front of him, and he said viciously: "Whose general are you, who wants to kill me for meritorious service, let's see if you can get it!"

"Ah."

Shen Chen stepped back and drew his knife like lightning, slashing fiercely, and shouted: "I don't know how many people from your Cao family died in my hands, and you don't even know who I am? You are so pathetic!"

"boom!"

It was another duel, the two swords burst into flames, Cao Zhen's face contorted, and he almost squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Shen! Chen!"

Besides Shen Chen, who killed the Cao family the most?

Although Cao Zhen is only a son of Cao Cao's clan, since the death of his father Cao Shao, Cao Cao has always treated him like his own son, so facing the enemies of the Cao family, Cao Zhen is already furious.

In an instant, he was fighting with his sword again and again, and Cao Jun's personal guards around him also fought with Deng Ai, Jiang Wei and other Shen Chen's personal guards, and the fighting between the two sides became chaotic.

In just a short while, Shen Chen and Cao Zhen fought for more than ten rounds. Cao Zhen was very powerful and brave. He once defeated a tiger and shot it to death.

But why was Shen Chen weak?

At the No.14 move, he changed his move suddenly, squatting forward suddenly, the strong wind whizzed past his head, and Cao Zhen's blade almost brushed his head.

After dodging the blow, Shen Chen raised his knife and slashed at Cao Zhen's leg. Cao Zhen was wearing a big armor and was fully armed, only his face and feet were exposed. It was too late to back up and dodge, and instinctively crouched with both legs.

Because in this case, the legs will be blocked by the iron armor at the bottom of the armor, but Shen Chen was waiting for this moment, and saw his squatting legs jump up like springs, and they were three or four feet high. One of them jumped over.

When it landed again, the tiger gallbladder knife had already penetrated deeply into the neck under the face door that Cao Zhen had been guarding all along, piercing through the joint between the Zhajia and the helmet, blood gushed out in an instant, and the helmet fell to the ground.

"Uh"

Cao Zhen's eyes were wide open, his eyes were full of disbelief, his legs that had been crouching gave way, and he fell slowly to the ground.

"Great Governor!"

The eyes of several Cao Jun who were still fighting beside him immediately turned red, regardless of the opponents around them, they tried their best to kill Shen Chen, wanting to avenge Cao Zhen.

But before reaching Shen Chen, he was attacked and killed by the enemy they fought just now. It is a fatal thing to be distracted on the battlefield of life and death.

"The enemy will give the head!"

Shen Chen chopped off Cao Zhen's head with one knife, and held it up high.

Jiang Wei slashed and killed two Cao Jun holding the big flag, and then cut off the flagpole with thick arms three times in a row, and Cao Zhen's big flag fell down in an instant.

At that moment, it was as if the sky had been smashed, and there were countless and various voices on the entire battlefield.

"The big banner fell, the big governor's banner fell."

"The governor is dead."

"Run, if you don't run, you will die."

"Don't run, keep killing!"

"Cao Zhen is dead, those who surrender will not die!"

"Wei army is defeated, brothers, follow me to kill."

For a while, the battlefield was in chaos.

There is a saying that when the big flag stands, the army's spirit will gather and it will be as stable as Mount Tai; if the big flag falls, the army's morale will be weak and vulnerable.

Dian Wei was appreciated by Cao Cao because he was able to protect the banner alone.

In ancient wars, where the flag of the commander-in-chief of the war stands, there must be countless flag guards to protect it, and Cao Zhen's personal guards are the flag guards.

But Shen Chen led his personal guards to break through the opponent's flag guards, beheaded Cao Zhen, and cut down his banner. In an instant, it was like a landslide, and Cao's army was defeated.

In the chaos, all kinds of trumpets, drums, and whistles sounded continuously, the flames burned, and the billowing smoke covered half of the sky.

A large number of Cao Jun's defeated soldiers ran to the south like their lives, but the Cao camp in the south was burning fiercely. After Ma Dai raided Cao Ying, he also set fire everywhere, so the Han camp in the north of the entire battlefield was burning, and the Cao camp in the south was also burning. .

After Cao Zhen's death, Cao Jun was leaderless and wanted to escape, but found that there was nowhere to run. Some even went to the direction of the Yellow River, trying to escape from the water, but most of them chose to surrender wisely.

Except for a very few people who were still dying, the lights and swords on the battlefield gradually subsided, and the original noisy and chaotic voices gradually became quiet, leaving only the sound of the waves of the Yellow River.

It was getting dark.

The red sunset is setting lazily from the junction of the sky and the earth in the west.

The dew on the grass leaves on the banks of the Yellow River is more crystal clear under the reflection of the sunset.Two goshawks soared in the blue sky with their wings flattened, and they chirped from time to time, and the shrill sound spread far and wide in the wilderness.

After more than an hour, the fire in Shen Chen's main camp was slowly extinguished, leaving only a few trails of smoke still wafting in the wind.

Regardless of whether it is the Cao army or the Han army, almost most of the camps have collapsed. Among the piles of burnt and blackened stumps and broken logs, many dark logs are crumbling. They are the walls, fences and towers of the Han army. They seem to be overwhelmed. The old man was staring sadly at the battlefield beneath his feet.

Inside and outside the camp, and in the middle of the camps where Cao Jun and Han Jun set up camp, there are everywhere the corpses of enemy and enemy soldiers, lying on their backs, lying down, single, in groups, curled up, and burned to black coals. Short of head and body.

This is not only the case in the big camp, extending from the big camp to the south for more than ten miles, entangled corpses can be seen everywhere.In some places, the dead were crowded into heaps, in some places in twos and threes intermittently, and countless people disappeared in the bloody grass, and they have never been seen again..

The blood pooled into a river, and the scattered weapons were not cleaned up. The Han army escorted the prisoners back to the headquarters camp. Now the battlefield is still in chaos, because some Cao soldiers don’t want to go home and reunite, or run east to the mountains. Either jump to the Yellow River, the Han army still has to rush around to arrest people, and no one is idle to clean up the battlefield.

Shen Chen teamed up with some soldiers of the Han army and wiped out the die-hard members of Cao Zhen's guards, and finally ended the battle. He looked at the burning Cao camp in the distance, and then looked at the countless corpses on the vast land. Looking at the corpses of the enemy's soldiers, there was no feeling of relaxation in my heart.

Although this time he won more with less, he also beheaded Cao Zhen, annexed Hedong County, threatened Bingzhou and Luoyang, and became a very important turning point for the Han Dynasty against Cao Wei.But such casualties still make people feel heavy.

These are the most elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty!
