In Huguan, the two armies of Cao and Liu had just fought, and Cao Cao's army suffered a one-sided defeat.
Tens of thousands of defenders cried for their fathers and mothers, and were killed by the sudden attack of the Yangzhou army. They cried for their fathers and mothers, and the queen retreated in a hurry.
But there was no joy at all on Zhang He's face.
"Cao Cao is here? If you catch Cao Cao, there will be a reward of 10,000 yuan!"
This is Zhang He¡¯s goal, the others are just little shrimps.
If you can capture Cao Cao, it will be a great achievement.
Therefore, Zhang He did not hesitate and ordered his soldiers to move forward.
"Seize the streets, compress the defender's activity area, and find Cao Cao."
This is Zhang He¡¯s combat policy.
After all, the terrain on the Huguan battlefield is complex and it needs to be advanced bit by bit.
They don¡¯t need to kill many people, they just need to advance step by step and compress the living space of the defenders, and they will surrender.
The Yangzhou Army treated prisoners with very favorable conditions. Even if no one paid the ransom, they only had to serve a certain period of hard labor before they could regain their freedom.
However, Jiang Ji anticipated Zhang He's decision in advance, so when Zhang He ordered the entire army to move forward, he personally led a group of about 3,000 crossbowmen to ambush on both sides of the street.
"Fire the arrow!"
The ambush soldiers suddenly rushed out, and arrows rained down immediately.
This move was nothing more than a desperate struggle, but it bought Xiahou Shang time to reorganize his team.
At this time, Xiahou Shang finally showed his ability as the main commander of Cao Cao's army.
"Soldiers! For the sake of the court, your majesty, and the king of Wei, pick up your weapons and hold off the enemy!"
"Those who stay behind and those who dare to fight will each be rewarded with a hundred gold coins after the war!"
"Kill three or more enemies and get a thousand gold reward!"
Some people were dismissive, but more people gritted their teeth and picked up weapons.
"Hmph! The mantis' arm is used as a chariot!"
Zhang He snorted coldly when he saw this.
I saw him riding on horseback, waving a heavy iron gun with both hands, fighting at the front of the team.
"Every Cao Cao soldier he encountered had his shield removed with one shot, and was killed on the spot with the second shot.
Zhang He's bravery boosted the morale of his soldiers, so much so that the crossbowmen commanded by Jiang Ji were pierced by the Yangzhou army in just half a cup of tea.
The crossbowmen who were close to him were unable to play any role, and they cried for their fathers and mothers after being killed.
However, just when Zhang He led the elite, he attempted to take a further step towards killing Jiang Ji.
Xiahou Shang led the remaining troops to fight up. He had to fight and gain time. This belief supported him.
On the battlefield, there are not many fancy attacks.
A soldier often only has that moment to wield his weapon against the enemy.
¡°Afterwards, either you die or the other party dies, it¡¯s as simple and crude as that.
Extra moves are just asking for death.
In a crowded battlefield, no one will make room for you.
In this dense battlefield, the Yangzhou Army has a natural advantage.
Because the hard armor can resist the enemy's attack, it gives them a second chance to take action.
Coupled with years of training, their own strength is even better.
"Surrender and avoid death!" Zhang He shouted.
"Who dares to surrender?" Xia Houshang said tit for tat.
Zhang He waved his hand, and the crossbowmen of the Yangzhou Army launched a projectile.
Since the enemy has chosen to fight, let¡¯s help them.
Whoosh¡ªwhoosh¡ª
The sound of a series of crossbow arrows piercing through flesh continued to sound, followed by the screams of the soldiers.
Ah-ah-uh-uh
In just a blink of an eye, Xiahou Shang saw the soldiers and horses behind Xia Houshang turning on their backs.
Cao Cao¡¯s army standing in front had shields to block it, so the situation was much better.
Many people's bodies were pierced, even if they were wearing leather armor.
Jiang Ji could not escape.
Occasionally, a stray arrow barely grazed his face, and the sharp and powerful crossbow arrow drew a bloody mark on his handsome face.
Jiang Ji screamed.
¡°Then, the crossbow arrow passed through, and the head of a personal guard behind him was shot out on the spot, and the brains were splashed all over Jiang Ji.
As a civil servant,?Where have you seen such a scene?
If Cao Cao hadn't been at the rear, Jiang Jicai would have been too lazy to be so heroic, and would have simply been risking his life.
The second crossbow arrow hit Jiang Ji's horse. The horse neighed and struggled, throwing him off.
????????????? Plop.
Jiang Ji¡¯s cheek hit the floor and hurt. This feeling is really uncomfortable and frustrating.
But compared to others, Jiang Ji was lucky because he narrowly escaped death.
¡°More people were brutally shot to death on the spot by Liannu.
Jiang Ji was dragged back, and he cried:
"My lord, go quickly, go quickly!"
"If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Seeing that Cao Cao was unmoved, Jiang Ji became anxious and pointed at Cao Cao's personal guards and cursed.
"The King of Wei has been injured to the last hair, so be prepared to collect the bodies of the whole family!"
¡°Why don¡¯t you escort King Wei out of the city quickly and leave!¡±
The guards immediately gathered around and helped Cao Cao onto his horse.
Just as Cao Cao was about to wave his hand to stop him, Jiang Ji snatched a soldier's sword and pointed it at his neck.
"If my lord doesn't leave, I will die here!"
The accompanying generals and civil servants were eager for Cao Cao to leave, so they knelt down and shouted slogans saying they were willing to die for Cao Cao.
"Why is this!"
Cao Cao sighed and rode away.
This feeling of losing a family dog ??deeply hurt Cao Cao's heart.
He lost! A complete failure!
Losing Huguan puts the entire Bingzhou in absolute danger.
"My lord! Don't be discouraged!" Jiang Ji comforted, "If the Huguan is lost, we can just get it back. It's no big deal."
Easier said than done?
Cao Cao galloped towards Shangdang County.
Just when Cao Cao left, the Yangzhou Army fired another round of volley, and the army led by Xia Houshang was directly reduced by more than half.
"Who dares to retreat? I want to see it!" Xia Houshang cursed.
Jiang Ji was quite loyal when he left the city. He sent someone to inform Xiahou Shang that Cao Cao had left the border and must hold on for another half hour.
Therefore, no matter what, Xia Houshang will not let the Yangzhou army pass easily.
"Xia Houshang, don't be stubborn and surrender!" Zhang He shouted.
"Wishful thinking!"
Zhang He felt that he had always been too kind, so he immediately waved his hand, and the sword and shield soldiers began to charge forward.
