Chapter 989 Killing the General and Seizing the Flag

I saw the first song of more than a thousand Xiliang cavalry galloping to the side of Xiahou Dun's army. Then they bent their bows and arrows, aimed at the enemy and rushed out.

"shooting!"

Whoosh whoosh!

More than a thousand arrows drew countless arcs in the air, aiming at Cao Jun and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

"ah!"

Poof!

Hundreds of Cao's soldiers were hit by arrows immediately. The tiger and leopard cavalry were slightly better. Even if the tiger cavalry wearing heavy armor was slashed hard with spears and sabers, the heavy armor would not necessarily be split, let alone the slightly weaker ones. of arrows.

As the saying goes, three arrows are not as good as one sword, and three swords are not as good as one spear. The lethality of arrows can naturally be imagined. However, the Tiger Cavalry wearing heavy armor was unscathed, but the Leopard Cavalry wearing light armor was inevitably damaged.

"Raise your shield and dodge!"

"Keep shooting!"

Zhao Yun led a group of more than a thousand iron cavalry around a detour, rushed to the side of the tiger and leopard cavalry again, bent his bow and fired, and more than a thousand arrows flew down, killing and wounding hundreds of Cao's troops.

The impact of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was powerful, but they were not good at mounted shooting. Facing the Xiliang Cavalry's shooting, they could only stare blankly without being able to fight back, which was very frustrating.

Dang Dang Dang!

Cao Zhen slashed down a few incoming arrows with his sword, frowned, rode his horse back to Xiahou Dun's army, and shouted: "Uncle! The enemy's cavalry and shooting are powerful, and our army cannot resist them, so we should retreat quickly!" "

"Retreat? How should I explain to Mengde?" Xiahou Dun said angrily.

"Uncle! The morale of our army has been weakened, and our defeat is now certain. But the most important thing is that you cannot fall into the hands of the enemy!" Cao Zhen calmly analyzed: "Uncle is the commander-in-chief of the Huainan region. If you fall into the enemy's hands, In your hands, Huainan is in danger!"

"The most important thing now is to preserve our strength and retreat, rely on every city to tenaciously attack the enemy, and buy time for the Prime Minister to strategize and defeat Liu Ye's main force."

Hearing Cao Zhen's words, Xiahou Dun sighed. He was not a fool. Although his ability to lead an army was not as good as that of Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren and others, he was loyal to Cao Cao.

".Forget it, withdraw the troops!"

"Please uncle, take off your armor and order someone to put it on, continue to resist the enemy and buy time for our army to escape." Cao Zhen advised.

".Um."

Xiahou Dun immediately took off his armor and ordered a loyal soldier who was similar to himself to put it on. Then he blended into the tiger and leopard cavalry and merged with the Cao cavalry in the army. There were about a thousand people. Break away from the team and quickly break out towards the east.

"Huh? Big brother, second brother, the enemy has broken through! Then Xiahou Dun must have escaped with Cao's cavalry. I will lead the troops in pursuit!"

Zhang Fei was rough but subtle. When he saw the enemy troops fleeing, he naturally guessed that Xiahou Dun was also among them, so he led his troops to pursue them.

"Third brother, if you're not busy, it's better to attack the Chinese army." Guan Yu stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Fei.

"Second brother, what's the point? That's Xiahou Dun!" Zhang Fei said dissatisfied.

Guan Yu gently stroked his long beard under his chin and said slowly: "But Xiahou Dun's general's flag is still standing there. If our army does not kill the general and capture the flag, the enemy army will not be defeated. Even if you catch up with Cao's cavalry who escaped, , so what can we do?”

"Besides, the enemy's cavalry is galloping so fast, how can the infantry catch up? Zilong's cavalry has already been prepared, so let's give this credit to Zilong."

After listening to Guan Yu's explanation, Zhang Fei suddenly realized: "I see, leave this task of killing the general and capturing the flag to me!"

"Attack the entire army and kill!"

Without the sniper attack of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Yuzhou army had no obstacle and easily entered Cao's army, killing Cao's army and retreating steadily, making it difficult to resist.

The total number of Xiahou Dun's Huainan Army is about 40,000, of which half of 20,000 are temporarily recruited soldiers. However, Xiahou Dun's central army is naturally composed of combat soldiers, so the will to resist is relatively tenacious. Facing the Yuzhou Army's They attacked and fought fiercely. Although they were retreating steadily, they refused to give up and still persisted in resisting. Their performance was much better than that of the soldiers in the field.

At this time, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu each led a group of troops and horses, and they rushed into Cao's army one on the left and one on the right. They were like two dragons overturning Cao's army in the formation, killing Cao's army with blood flowing in the river. Two bloody roads.

"Hey, get out of here!"

Zhang Fei was addicted to killing. He waved an eight-foot-long snake spear in his hand like a wheel. However, all Cao soldiers blocking him were divided into several sections, and the dark heavy armor on his body had been dyed dark. Red, but Zhang Fei is still full of energy and energetic. He has long been accustomed to such bloody battles, but he enjoys it.

At this time, Zhang Fei's troops were less than 300 steps away from Xiahou Dun's general flag, and Zhang Fei could even clearly see the word Xiahou on the general flag.

"Kill me!"

The closer he got to Xiahou Dun's general's flag, the more excited Zhang Fei became. He rushed hundreds of steps and finally came to the vicinity of the general's flag.

"Xiahou Dun, I am Zhang Yide from Yan, come out quickly and die!"

Less than fifty steps away, Zhang Fei shouted loudly, the sound was like a huge thunder. Cao Jun around him felt a sharp pain in his eardrums, as if there was a thunder in his ears.

And "Xiahou Dun" was so frightened that his expression changed.

"Hey, get out of the way!"

Zhang Fei did not hesitate, and led hundreds of guards into the enemy formation at one go, shouting: "Xiahou Dun, stay alive!"

Xiahou Dun's face was so frightened that he could no longer hold on after being shouted at by Zhang Fei, so he turned around and ran away.

"Hey!"

Zhang Fei shouted violently, and thrust forward with the eight-foot-long snake spear in his hand. The four-meter-long spearhead pierced the air and stabbed into the back of "Xiahou Dun". It easily penetrated the heavy armor and penetrated into it, and then passed through the armor. His chest came out, and then Zhang Fei raised his hands upward, and the spear was inserted into the horse's body.

"Herod!" The war horse was stabbed by a spear and couldn't help but raise its head to the sky and hiss, while Zhang Fei roared and thrust with all his strength!

All that was seen was that "Xiahou Dun", including his men and horses, were strung on the Zhangba snake spear, and the men and horses were connected together, while Zhang Fei's eyes were wide open, the muscles of his arms were bulging, and his strength was increased to the extreme.

Poof!

Zhang Fei used all his strength to hit the ground hard, and Xiahou Dun and his horse were split in half. Zhang Fei rushed forward to take a look and snorted, it turned out to be an impostor.

Zhang Fei pulled out the Xintinghou Sword from his waist. It was a sword forged when he was named Xintinghou years ago, hence the name. At that time, Liu Bei was named Tinghou of Yicheng, Guan Yu was named Tinghou of Hanshou, and Zhang Fei was named Xintinghou.

Zhang Fei slashed hard, and the huge "Xiahou" shook the flag and smashed it down hard.

"Xiahou Dun is dead, why didn't you surrender earlier?"

Zhang Fei gathered his energy in his dantian and shouted with all his strength. The huge sound swept hundreds of steps around him in an instant.
