Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 484 Cherish the hero and capture Xu Huang alive
Outside the north gate of Puban, when the Han army waited for a day without waiting for Xu Huang's army to leave, and the morale of the army was quite lazy, the gate suddenly opened.

Although the Han army was outside the camp at this time, they were actually resting scattered. After all, it was the end of April and the sun was blazing. They stood outside the camp all day.

Xu Huang was waiting for this moment. Zhao Yun felt that he should be strict and let the soldiers surround him for the next few days. After Shen Chen came back, he would basically have no chance to escape.

But Xu Huang decided to flee east and north, pretending to go out through the east gate, and then when the enemy came out to fight with them, he suddenly went north to join the main force and escape.

Ordinary generals might really be deceived by him. If Zhao Yun immediately ordered an attack when Xu Huang came over, and at the same time sent someone to send a message to the soldiers at the other three city gates, asking them to come and encircle Xu Huang, Akira can leave immediately.

That is to say, Zhao Yun was still alert, and when he sensed something was wrong, he didn't give the order for a long time. Seeing that Zhao Yun was not fooled, Xu Huang didn't hesitate. At least it can prevent the Han army from encircling them so quickly.

Soon the Cao army in Puban Beicheng swarmed out of the city, and the Han army outside was suddenly noisy. Some people shouted: "Assemble, hurry, assemble!", someone shouted: "Order, go quickly", and others shouted: "Finally come out, kill it!"

For a while, the command was a little lost. Some Han troops wanted to gather, and some Han troops wanted to attack, but what was more unified was that they all sent messengers to deliver letters outside the west city, south city and east city. Simply put, they were shaking people.

In this case, the Han army outside the North City Gate suddenly became chaotic.

It makes sense to choose an in-situ formation, because you will definitely not be able to fight without an formation.It also makes sense to choose to kill the past, because their task is to hold back Cao Jun.

But no matter what, the formation of the Han army has not been assembled in the first time, and the strength of the Han army has not been pushed together.

Even the most elite army may encounter this kind of situation occasionally, and even if the general is there, sometimes it is useless, just like Cao Cao was in Wancheng back then.

But the difference is that Cao Cao was attacked back then, while the Han army had a problem with the command and dispatch and did not adjust in time.

The main reason is that the more than 1 Han troops in Beicheng are divided into two divisions, one is Ding Li's division, which wants to form an army first, and the other is Baishou's division. Seeing Cao's army coming out, they are afraid that they will escape, so they want to intercept them immediately.

After Cao Jun left the city, he fled to the northeast immediately. Bai Shou rode on his horse, and immediately shouted at the soldiers to charge. resulting in interception failure.

When leaving the city, Xu Huang had already told Zhou Sheng, Lu Jian, and Yang Ping, who were in charge of leading the team, that the Han army was surrounded on all sides, and when they saw them leave, they would definitely choose to come up and pester them, even if they wanted to keep them alive. .

The purpose of doing this is to allow the Han army at the other gates to come to support them as soon as possible, so when they evacuate, they must not fight with the Han army, and leave as soon as they can.

After all, once the two sides get entangled, even if it is only delayed for less than half an hour, they will face the encirclement of [-] Han troops.

At this time, Cao Jun followed Xu Huang's teachings, first shot back the soldiers of Baishou's tribe with a few rounds of arrow rain, and then made a noise to make the cavalry gallop all the way to the northeast plain without stopping.

They were all one man and two horses. The man in front controlled the horses, and the man behind shot randomly with bows and crossbows. The actual lethality and accuracy were very low. Except for more than 20 unlucky ones who were injured in several rounds of arrow rain, almost no deaths were caused.

But it's more bluffing.

The Bai Shou Department was not prepared, nor did they immediately form a shield, not daring to risk their lives with Jian Yu, and retreated one after another.

But soon the Bai Shou Department regrouped and launched an offensive. After all, Cao Jun was retreating with nearly 2 people, tens of thousands of horses, and all kinds of messy accidents could happen.

Some were crowded together and knocked over, some fell because of the overwhelm of the two horses, and some were even thrown off by the horses.

After all, not every soldier of the Cao Army is good at riding horses, and there is only one pair of stirrups. If the people in front wear stirrups, the people behind can only clamp the horse's belly tightly, especially when they need to use bows and crossbows, they are easy to fall off .

For a while, Cao Jun's retreat was also chaotic, and the order was not very good.

After seven or eight minutes, Ding Li's troops had assembled, and immediately rushed over to attack Cao Jun from the side, coupled with the harassment of Bai Shou's troops, the entire battlefield was in chaos.

Some Cao Jun wanted to leave, some wanted to repel the enemy, and some hesitated and were at a loss.

This is the disadvantage of not having a unified command of a general.

In fact, Xu Huang also knew this, but he had no choice. His idea was to lead the Han army away from other sects and cut off the rear himself. As the main general, he must take responsibility.

As a result, Zhao Yun did not send a signal for a long time, so the Han army was not led to the east gate, the Han army at the north gate did not move, and the Cao army did not have him in command. Naturally, the Cao army present did not form a unified order.

Fortunately, Xu Huang's death order before leaving was to evacuate quickly, so even Cao Jun, who was going to repel the enemy, quickly turned his horse's head and fled after a bow and crossbow.

As for those who were entangled, they were not so lucky. At least three or four thousand Cao troops were intercepted by the Han army, and fierce fighting broke out between the two sides.

Soon, a large number of Cao Jun disappeared. Thousands of Cao Jun and thousands of Han troops were entangled on the battlefield. Some were thrown to death, and some were covered in blood, making a mess.

After another quarter of an hour, twenty minutes, or less than half an hour, thousands of Cao troops came galloping from outside the east gate. They were Xu Huang's troops who were responsible for attracting the attention of the Han army.

Xu Huang first went out of the east gate for four or five miles to the outskirts of the forest, and then went to the north gate. The Han army camp was several miles away from the north gate. In addition, the place where they fought was not in the Han army camp, but in the northeast. , so it was still more than ten miles away from there, so it was long overdue.

When he arrived, the deputy general said anxiously: "General, our people are trapped."

Another lieutenant general said, "Let's take this opportunity and leave."

"I"

Xu Huang hesitated for a moment. His side was full of cavalry, and he ran faster. Behind him, Zhao Yun was still eating ashes. He slipped away while the people in the north were blocked by thousands of Cao troops. At least he could take away nearly 2 people. go back.

From a rational point of view, this is indeed correct, but looking at these soldiers who get along day and night, they are all real people. If they don't take them back, they may feel uneasy.

Just as he was hesitating, the roar of shouting and killing was getting closer and closer. Although people couldn't run faster than horses, they still had to stay far away. Zhao Yun's troops mobilized, and they were less than five or six miles away from their position. It may have to be caught up in less than 10 minutes.

"go!"

He could only order to move on.

Thousands of Cao Jun immediately wanted to bypass from the side.

At this time, the part of Cao Jun who was fighting with the Han army saw Xu Huang passing by, and immediately shouted: "The general will abandon us?"

"The general wants to abandon us?"

"The general wants to abandon us?"

The heart-piercing calls made Xu Huang extremely painful, but he did not stay, but left quickly.

Seeing his big banner going further and further away, the remaining Cao Jun fell into despair.

But not long after Cao Jun's large troops left, Xu Huang's big banner actually came back, and he brought hundreds of personal guards to the battlefield and shouted: "I, Xu Huang, will never abandon my soldiers. .”

After all, he rushed over.

At this time, his left shoulder was still injured, and he was holding a big ax in his right hand. He joined the battlefield with a shout, beheaded several Han soldiers in an instant, and after rescuing the entangled Cao army, he urged them to leave quickly. Continue to fight the Han army.

Soon after a round of rushing, with the help of the personal guards, hundreds of Cao Jun were rescued, allowing them to mount their horses and leave immediately.

After about a quarter of an hour, Zhao Yun's troops had arrived, and at the same time, the Han army from the west city also arrived. Tens of thousands of Han troops swarmed in, pouring into the torrent, trying to swallow them up.

Someone shouted while fighting: "The general goes first!"

"You go!"

Xu Huang waved his big ax and shouted loudly.

In fact, most of those who were left behind were unlucky soldiers, most of whom fell off their horses, or were shot and killed by the crossbows of the Han army, and changed from cavalry to infantry.

If they ran directly regardless of the attack of the Han army, they would definitely be attacked by the Han army behind them and had to be forced to resist.

Now Xu Huang charged among the crowd and rescued some Cao troops. These Cao troops could choose to throw down their weapons and flee for their lives without worrying about being attacked from behind by the Han army.

Xu Huang didn't do deep fights either, and he usually left immediately after saving someone, and it didn't matter if he didn't kill the Han army.

"Where to go!"

At this time, a veteran with a white horse and silver spear rushed into the formation.

The veteran has a resolute face and wears a white cloak. He is very eye-catching in the army. Although he is old, he is not slow at hand. The tip of his spear roars like a silver dragon, and several bright red blood flowers burst out in the crowd in an instant.

"Zhao Yun!"

Xu Huang gritted his teeth, and unconsciously shrugged his left shoulder. The wound on his shoulder was left by Zhao Yun's sudden killing the day before yesterday. Even though he swung the big ax desperately, the spear point that followed him like a shadow still left a deep impression on him.

If he hadn't used his injuries to get the chance to escape, he might have been left behind at that time.

Now meeting the other party again, Xu Huang's voice trembled a little, not because of fear, but because of extreme anger, just like a tiger meeting another tiger, the natural hostility made his whole body tremble.

Zhao Yun rode his horse straight into the formation and shouted: "Xu Huang, surrender to avoid death!"

"Wei only had generals who died in battle, not cowards who surrendered."

Xu Huang roared angrily: "Kill!"

"kill!"

The surviving Cao army let out a shocking cry.

Seeing Xu Huang leave before, they were already in despair.

But after Xu Huang came back, everyone's morale was boosted to the extreme.

The two sides continued to fight, Xu Huang raised his big axe and swung it down towards Zhao Yun, howling like a wild wolf.

Not just him.

At this moment, the remaining thousands of Cao's troops seemed to be possessed by the god of killing. Even if they were dead, they would slash with knives, poke with spears, or even bite with their teeth, in order to exchange the life of an enemy.

This fearless way of fighting made the Han army, which was far more numerous than them, a little bit overwhelmed at the beginning, and three or five people became a little afraid of dealing with one person.

"boom!"

The sound of violent metal collision sounded.

Zhao Yun raised his gun to parry Xu Huang's angry blow, then turned the gun around, protruding out like lightning.

Xu Huang turned his head to dodge, and the big ax in his hand was lifted up again quite deftly.

Zhao Yun's gun bounced away, and the two sides fought back and forth quickly for more than [-] rounds, but at this moment, due to excessive force, the wound on Xu Huang's left shoulder spattered again.

Suffering from the pain, Xu Huang's strength to strike with the ax weakened a bit, and the ax turned sideways, missing Zhao Yun.

If the ax didn't change the direction of the axe, Zhao Yun would at least have to parry or dodge it, but if it didn't hit, Zhao Yun didn't need to change his move, and directly probed the gun and locked Xu Huang's throat to stab.

When Xu Huang came to his senses, it was too late to hide, so he could only watch the point of the gun go towards his throat. He knew he was going to die, so he closed his eyes.

But after two breaths, Xu Huang didn't feel the pain. He was puzzled for a moment, opened his eyes, but saw the cold light flickering in front of him, and felt a pain in his head. His whole body was thrown out and fell on the ground. dismounted.

Originally, Zhao Yun seized the opportunity keenly just now and wanted to kill Xu Huang with a single shot, but when the real stab came out, Zhao Yun hesitated for a while.

It's not that he's soft-hearted.

It was because Xu Huang was injured, and his injury was caused by his own sneak attack before, but now he was defeated because of the injury, and the victory was invincible.

Secondly, he could see clearly from a distance before he came. Xu Huang had already run away, but because the remaining soldiers came back, his loyalty is also admirable.

Because if it were Zhao Yun himself, he would definitely come back.He was able to work for Liu Bei all the time, not only because he was such a person, but also Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Shen Chen and the others.

Loyalty hangs in my heart.

Therefore, the hero cherishes the hero, and he can't help but feel a pity for Xu Huang's friendship, although he is his own master, but he also treats each other with sincerity.

"boom!"

Xu Huang fell off the horse back with a weight of more than 200 catties, including a man and a battle armor.

Zhao Yun raised his gun and shouted angrily: "Xu Huang has been captured alive. Those who surrender will not die. If they resist, Xu Huang will be killed without mercy!"

"Xu Huang has been captured alive, those who surrender will not die!"

"Xu Huang has been captured alive, those who surrender will not die!"

The surrounding Han soldiers immediately shouted.

Cao Jun's soldiers were originally relatively strong, and the fighting power of only 5000 people was comparable to tens of thousands.

But when Xu Huang fell, the morale of the army was shaken all of a sudden, especially when everyone looked in Xu Huang's direction and saw that his mount was empty, their hearts sank.

Suddenly, Cao Jun's morale, which was originally high, fell to the bottom, and the idea of ​​fighting to the death disappeared, and they dropped their weapons and surrendered.

There was a large area kneeling down on the battlefield, plus Cao Jun who died in battle or was trampled, fell to death, fell off his horse, injured or fainted, there were at least 8000 people, and only more than 1 Cao Jun ran out, about one-third One was left here!

For a while, the Han army won another big victory!
