Chapter 119 Snatching Xiakou (7)
It was as if a thunderbolt from the blue suddenly exploded in mid-air, shaking Cao and Liu's troops and horses all trembling for it.Zhang Fei's voice was suddenly exploded, and the lingering sounds were thick, high-pitched, and loud like golden bells colliding. It irresistibly overwhelmed all noises, so that neither the human ears nor the horse ears in the two sides could hear other sounds.

"I am Zhang Yide from Yan! Those who do not hesitate to risk their lives may come here to die!"

On the battlefield with a radius of several miles, all other sounds seemed to disappear suddenly, only this group of roaring shouts was left reverberating and resonating—the middle-aged general who uttered this thunderous sound was wearing a brass Helmet, wearing black armor, leopard's eyes wide open, tiger's beard standing on end, there seems to be a majestic and murderous aura surging towards it, covering the blue sky and bright sun with dim light——

Zhang Yide from Yan!Shaking like thunder, looking forward to generate wind, his reputation is far-reaching, it is really like a demon god descending from the world, it is very good.

Following Zhang Fei's sharp scolding, Cao Jun's cavalry line, which was originally in a steady formation and advancing at a constant speed, suddenly stagnated slightly like a river rushing thousands of miles up against a high embankment.

Although Zhang Fei's fighting spirit is thrilling, it still cannot be equated with real swords and guns after all.Although Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry warriors were shaken by his thunderbolt roar, the pace of the whole army was slightly slowed down, but they were still able to slow down in a short while, formed a formation and continued to press forward.

However, at this moment, there was a commotion in the front row of the tiger and leopard riders—it turned out that one of them fell off the horse suddenly.

This person is the Xia Houru who captured and killed Liu Bei's daughter earlier.

Xia Houru heard Zhang Fei's head-on slap just now, and he couldn't help his chest as if being hit by a hammer, and his heart suddenly "pounded" wildly.He hurriedly looked sideways, and saw that Zhang Fei's cold eyes were like sharp knives, as if he was gouging out his body, and his fierce appearance was like a fierce tiger, as if he was about to swoop over and swallow him...

He still remembered that about seven or eight years ago, when the generals were hunting and traveling together in the Red Deer Park in Xudu, the red-faced man Guan Yu, who was highly respected by his uncle Cao Cao, stroked his beautiful beard fluttering on his chest while listening to Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan. Xu Huang and others were talking about Yuan Shaozhang's ugliness and Yan Liang's fierceness. They glanced at them nonchalantly, and said in an astonishing tone: "What do you think Wen Chou and Yan Liang really have? My brother Zhang Yide If it is here, taking the heads of the two of them in a million troops will be like picking something out of a bag."

At that time, all the generals were in an uproar and ridiculed everywhere, but Guan Yu still looked at them defiantly, almost dismissive of arguing.From then on, the words "Zhang Yide" were imprinted in Xia Houru's heart.So just now Zhang Fei's voice of "war" sounded like thunder in his ears - it turns out that this is Zhang Yide!Sure enough, it is vicious and vicious, with an unstoppable spirit!Just now I was showing off Liu Bei's daughter's head, I'm afraid he has already seen it?Will he really fly over and stab a spear, and also pick himself up in the air like a duck...

Shocked and frightened, coupled with feeling weak and dizzy in the head—Xia Houru, the dignified captain of the Tiger and Leopard Camp, was just so heartbroken, his eyes darkened, and with a wow sound, he swayed from the horse's back fell down.

Xia Houru fell off his horse timidly before fighting, but it greatly disgraced the cavaliers of Cao Jun's Tiger and Leopard Battalion—they all gritted their teeth secretly in hatred.Thinking about those of us who fought all the way from the swords and guns, we were able to defeat such a powerful character as the Wuhuan Hulu in one blow, but we didn't expect to be knocked down by the other party today, what a shame! It's embarrassing.

At the same time, the roaring laughter and cheers and sneers from Liu Jun's side pierced their eardrums like steel knives, their cheeks burned, and they were embarrassed to look up at each other for a moment.

They were still ashamed and annoyed, but they didn't know that Cao Cao, who was in the rear, was also blowing his beard in anger because Xia Houru fell off his horse in front of the battle.He snorted coldly, and shouted at Cao Ren: "Drag that useless coward down and beat the eighty army sticks as punishment!" An order was issued: "The whole army is ready to cross the river - charge!"

When he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly found that Sima Yi, who had been retching from the bloody head just now among the knights on the left, seemed to be a completely different person at this moment, his eyes were shining brightly, his face The expression on his face was calm and calm, without wave or movement. It seemed that Zhang Fei's deafening yelling did not disturb him even half of his mind.

This Sima Zhongda is really a strange person... At one moment he was retched by the bloody battle scene, but at the next moment he appeared stable and brave in the big scene of gold and iron horses, all-powerful wind and thunder, and murderous intent.

These thoughts of surprise and doubt only flashed through the bottom of Cao Cao's heart. Before he could think about it, his eyes were suddenly attracted by the earth-shattering sound of the tiger and leopard riders charging across the river.

On the riverbed under the Changban Bridge, layers of corpses were piled up, the river was stained red with blood, and the desolate autumn wind wafted a strong smell of blood.The groans and howls of wounded soldiers and the mournful neighing of fallen horses echoed one after another, which sounded really desolate and piercing.

It was already the fourth round of charging across the river that repelled Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry. Zhang Fei's central army stood still on the east bank. Under Feng and Sun Qian's desperate supervision, they can always make up the complete formation in time.Relying on the half-deep and half-shallow Changban River as a buffer and screen, Liu Jun finally took advantage of his geographical advantage and was never completely dispersed.

At this point in the battle, even Cao Cao did not expect that this vicious battle would turn out to be as fierce as it is today.It seems that Liu Bei assigned his Xuzhou veterans with the most combat experience to Zhang Feilai to stop Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry with all their strength-so, this decisive battle between the world's number one cavalry and the world's number one pawn It's no wonder it's so intense.

After fighting fiercely for three hours in a row, Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry charged across the river several times and lost a total of 310 cavalry, while Liu Jun paid a heavy price for more than 800 dead and nearly 300 wounded.Even so, Zhang Fei, Liu Feng, and Sun Qian were still undaunted and led their troops to fight desperately on the wall of flesh piled up by the corpses of soldiers from both sides. "The viciousness.

Cao Cao watched all this from a distance behind the tiger and leopard cavalry formation, his face full of anxiety, and finally he raised his whip, and ordered to the guards around him: "Go—immediately send an order to Cao Chun and Xia Houyuan Let them bring all the tiger and leopard riders here, adopt a roundabout outflanking strategy, and attack from the upstream and downstream directions of the river at the same time, and must kill the east bank before sunset!"

Jia Xu listened with a relaxed expression on his face.The prime minister should have made arrangements like this a long time ago—it should be too late to do so now.

However, at this moment, Xun You, who had always been dignified, said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, wait a minute—"

"Gongda..." Cao Cao hurriedly turned his eyes to Xun You when he heard the words.Xun You didn't have time to salute, looked up at him, and hurriedly replied: "Prime Minister, are we really going to hang out with this reckless Zhang Yide on the bank of the Changban River? Even if we surround them, it seems that it will be a battle." Fierce battle."

"This..." Cao Cao couldn't help hesitating.

Xun You continued to remonstrate with a serious face: "My lord, Zhang Fei and other traitors are now jumping over the wall in a desperate manner, resisting in a corner... As the saying goes, 'The poor should not be chased.' Even if it is Cao Chun, Xia Houyuan and other two generals who are drawn The tiger and leopard cavalry joined the battle group and won the victory, which is also "killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating eight hundred", which is not good."

Cao Cao said coldly: "Gongda, it's just that Liu Bei is a cunning thief, and he can't be taken lightly, so we must kill him!
"Your Excellency, Xun also knows that Liu Bei is not to be taken lightly." Xun You said seriously, "However, Liu Pan, Huang Zhong and others are leading the navy from Changsha County to attack Jiangling City. The terrain of Jiangling City is dangerous. , Grain, grass and equipment are piled up in the warehouse, so don't lose it."

Cao Cao couldn't help hesitating after hearing what he said.Xun You glanced at the east bank of the Changban River again, and said slowly: "Besides, there seems to be dust rising in the woods behind Yide, I really don't know how many ambushes they hid there, the Prime Minister must think twice! "

Jia Xu finally couldn't hold back, and interjected softly: "Mr. Xun is too worried. In Xu's opinion, there should not be many ambush soldiers hiding in that forest. They have been hiding for so long. How come there is still no cavalry or pawn to come out?"

Xun You gave him a cold sideways glance, and was about to speak when he heard the sound of shouting and killing, and suddenly seven or eight hundred Liu Jun horses and horses rushed out from the bushes. Zhang Fei and other soldiers on the east bank of the Changban River rushed to help.

At this moment, the tiger and leopard riders on Cao Cao's side were suddenly joined by a formidable enemy, and their morale was immediately setback. Withdrew back.

Seeing this situation, Jia Xu couldn't help but froze, and a ray of confusion floated in his eyes.Xun You didn't push him with any words, but just sighed leisurely.His sigh, to Jia Xu's ears, felt like a heavy whip had been whipped on his face, and it hurt a little...

Sparks almost burst out of Cao Cao's eyes, he waved his hand, and ordered loudly, "Temporarily withdraw from Changbanpo!"

Seeing Cao Jun's tiger and leopard riders retreating westward one after another, Zhang Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.In this afternoon's fierce battle, Liu Jun has already suffered nearly 400 casualties, accounting for one-third of the entire army's elite troops. The investment of seven or eight hundred cavalry at the last moment can be regarded as a full-scale dispatch, sparing no effort. .If he fought for another two hours, he would definitely not be able to integrate this hopeless soldier with his iron-like control.At that time, it must be a complete collapse of the endgame.However, at this critical juncture, Cao Jun actually retreated westward by himself.

Zhang Fei was overjoyed at such a godsend opportunity. As soon as Cao Jun's tiger and leopard riders had withdrawn from his field of vision, he immediately ordered the demolition of the wooden bridge that was not very strong, and led a large group of troops straight to the place. Han Jinkou fled away.

About half an hour later, there was a sudden surge of killing sounds, and all the cavaliers of Cao Jun's Tiger and Leopard Battalion came back from the slaughter under the personal leadership of Cao Cao-the torch dragon that stretched for nearly fifteen miles made Zhang Fei leave behind. The scouts along the east bank of the Changban River shuddered when they saw it.
