I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 181 Cao Hong loses again
Cao Hong has been fighting by Cao Cao's side ever since he raised his troops. Cao Hong has fought many big and small battles.

In fact, Cao Hong is still a very experienced general, the reason why he was able to be ambushed by Zhang Yun.

A large part of the reason was that he hated Zhang He too much, so he lost his mind a little bit.

Now, the boulders crashing in all directions seemed to have woken Cao Hong up.

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

Cao Hong understood that even at this time, he could not retreat.

Hulugukou, the reason why it is called Hulugukou is because it is small in the 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, Zhang Xi didn't need to beat him, they could trample most of them to death just by trampling on their own.

Now you have to kill from the back, to the back of the gourd.

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

Cao Hong understood this truth, and Zhang Yun also understood this truth.

Zhang Xi also knew that Cao Hong couldn't be easily killed from the mouth of the gourd to the butt of the gourd.

Cao Hong's soldiers and horses could not deploy at the gourd mouth, this is the best time for Zhang Yun to kill the enemy.

If Cao Hong was allowed to kill the gourd's butt, once the soldiers and horses were deployed, it would become a tough battle.

"Fire the arrows!" On the hillside, Zhang He issued the order calmly.

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

In the narrow position of Huluzui, Cao Hong's soldiers and horses could not be used at all. Rounds of arrows rained down, and at least two to 3000 soldiers under Cao Hong's command were shot down.

"Zhang He!"

"I'm at odds with you!" Cao Hong gritted his teeth angrily as he watched his soldiers keep falling.

Now, Cao Hong's face was flushed with anger, just like Guan Gong.

"Pass the order down, use horses to block the periphery!"

"Use horses to block the rain of arrows!" Cao Hong ordered.

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

If the people died, these horses would also have to be taken by Zhang Yun.

The horse is dying, but the man is alive, and he can still fight Zhang Xi.

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

With the cover of the horse, the power of Zhang He's arrow rain was greatly reduced.

"Kill it!"

"Kill them back!" Zhang Yun gave the order.

Cao Hong pursued with [-] cavalry, while Zhang He left only [-] infantry to ambush.

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

Cao Hong's men were smashed to death, shot to death, and scattered, and the total number of them was more than 5000.

Moreover, since Cao Hong ordered horses to be used as fences to block arrows, these horses are basically shot to death now.

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 troops are evenly matched, Cao Hong's morale is far inferior to Zhang Yun's!

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

Zhang Xi led his men to rush down from the hillside, and soon, the two sides strangled each other and fought hand-to-hand.

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

At this time, the morale of Zhang He's army was high, while Cao Hong's army was panicked.

As a result, although everyone had the same strength, Cao Hong's army was beaten and retreated steadily.

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

Holding a big knife in his hand, he slashed left and right, and all the surrounding enemy troops were swept away.

These ordinary soldiers had absolutely no enemy against Cao Hong.

Not all of these Cao soldiers are Cao Hong.

These ordinary Cao troops did not have Cao Hong's force, nor did he 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 Ying, Cao Hong's eyeballs turned red, not only red, but blood was coming out.

"Zhang He!"

"You exchange the life of my three thousand leopard riders!" Cao Hong yelled, holding a big knife and killing Zhang Xi.

Cao Hong rushed in front of Zhang He, raised his saber and slashed.

Zhang He thought to himself, can't I take it if I kill you three thousand leopard riders?
In the battle of Wuchao, how many of our brothers died in the flames.

Ju Yi and Gao Lan, who are in charge of the rear, are also my brothers. I don't know if they are dead or alive now?

How many of our brethren in charge of the rear have died.

And Yecheng, you took Yecheng and killed my lord and the third son.

I have to ask you Cao Jun generals to settle this sum of money!

On the battlefield, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists.

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

Thinking of this, Zhang Yun was not used to Cao Hong, so he raised his saber to kill Cao Hong.

Cao Hong slashed at him with his sword, and Zhang Yun also shot at Cao Hong.

"Dang!" There was a loud noise, the gun and the knife collided together, and the two of them also fought to be evenly matched.

This strike didn't tell the winner, Cao Hong struck up again with the second strike, and Zhang Yun was not weak at all, holding out his spear and fighting Cao Hong together.

Cao Hong and Zhang Yun's martial arts are equally divided, and for a while, it is impossible to tell the winner.

The two fought seventy or eighty rounds, but they still couldn't tell the difference.

At this time, Cao Hong's deputy general rushed forward and shouted at Cao Hong: "General, retreat quickly!"

"Brothers, I can't hold it anymore!"

Although Cao Hong fought on par with Zhang Yun here, his brothers were defeated by Zhang Yun's soldiers and horses.

If Cao Hong didn't withdraw at this time, he would be surrounded by Zhang Yun's troops.

Cao Hong glanced at his surroundings, except for a small number of Cao Jun, all around him were Zhang Xi's soldiers and horses.

If he didn't retreat, he would either die in battle or be captured alive by Zhang Xi.

Cao Hong gritted his teeth, and roared at Zhang He, "Zhang He, I will definitely take your head some other day."

After letting go of his harsh words, Cao Hong also withdrew towards his own troops.

After withdrawing from his own formation, Cao Hong immediately ordered to shrink the defense. By this time, it was already dark.

Thinking about it, Zhang Yun didn't dare to attack again.

Sure enough, as Cao Hong expected, after Cao Hong shrunk his defense, Zhang Yun stopped attacking.

For one thing, it was dark, and attacking while it was dark was a desperate way to fight.

Secondly, Zhang Xi also knows what it means to accept as soon as you see it.

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

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