Chapter 126 Counterattack
Huang Zhong shot Cao Ang with an arrow, Lin Feng and others rushed over. In order to steal Cao Ang, the cavalry of the Cao army had to tie the mount and turn around to fight with them. Both sides rode their horses and repeatedly rushed, chopping with swords, stabbing with spears, and hitting with horses, and using all means to attack. Several cavalry of the Cao army grabbed Cao Ang and turned over and dismounted, trying to help Cao Ang on the back of the horse. Huang Zhong shot several arrows in succession, shot the knights one after another, and grabbed Cao Ang.
Seeing Cao Ang's danger, the Cao army's knights were so anxious that they were red in their eyes and rushed to rescue him. The two sides were stirred up together. Huang Zhong waved his sword and slashed several people in one breath, but he was still unable to get close to Cao Ang. Instead, he was stabbed twice. Huang Zhong was furious and roared loudly, slashing left and right. Dozens of people fought together, and it was difficult to distinguish, and screams came one after another, endlessly.
Poxiang, Cao Cao looked at Sun Ce who was more than ten steps away and was sweating coldly. He knew why Sun Ce dared to use more than ten cavalry to fight him, and took the initiative to attack. These more than ten people were not ordinary soldiers, at least Dian Wei and Huang Zhong were not. They were peerless generals who could do ten. He didn't know Huang Zhong, but he felt a pity for Dian Wei. Dian Wei was originally Zhao Chong's subordinate, and went on an expedition with Xiahou Yuan. He should have become Xiahou Yuan's subordinate, but now he has become Sun Ce's personal guard.
"Miaocai, you are so proud." Cao Cao sighed lightly and shook his head regretfully.
The fierce battle on the hillside quickly attracted Yuan Shu's attention. Yuan Shu sat on the horse's back and saw clearly that more than ten cavalry came from the east and rushed straight to the small hill where Cao Cao was. The two figures who rushed to the top of the slope looked very similar to Sun Ce and the guard Dian Wei beside him. It was probably Sun Ce who came. Although he was puzzled by how Sun Ce came to save him and how could he only bring these few people, he was still very excited to see Cao Cao being entangled by Sun Ce.
"Sun Lang is here, Sun Lang is here." Yuan Shu trotted in the formation, raising his sword and shouted. "Sun Lang has defeated his opponent, and reinforcements will arrive immediately. Work hard! Work hard!" After a while, he shouted again: "Those who kill Cao Cao will reward a thousand golds and be granted a marquis!"
The Yuan army soldiers who were fighting could not see the situation outside, nor did they know whether Yuan Shu was saying true or not, so they shouted.
"Kill Cao Cao, reward a thousand golds, and be granted a marquis!"
"Kill Cao Cao, reward a thousand golds, and be granted a marquis!"
For a moment, the morale was like a rainbow, and the sound of killing was shocking. The Cao army knights who were rushing to harass and trying to find a gap to rush to the formation. When they saw that Cao Chun, who was commanding the battle, turned around and saw a chaotic group on the hillside, two figures broke through the formation and were about to rush to Cao Cao. They were shocked and immediately rode their horses back.
Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he saw this and raised his sword and shouted wildly. "Kill Cao Cao--"
Lei Bo from the front army responded first, beat the war drum, began to change the formation, turn into an attack formation, and advance to the left side of the hillside. Chen Lan in the back formation also accelerated, bypassed Yuan Shu's central army, and encircled the other side.
Cao Chun led dozens of cavalry to the foot of the hillside. Seeing Cao Ang being supported by two knights, his face was covered with blood, and an arrow was inserted into his chest, shaking, his face pale, while Huang Zhong was as powerful as a tiger, and his roar was like thunder. He was about to rush to Cao Ang, but he didn't dare to be negligent. He rode his horse and stabbed the two cavalry, broke through the obstacles of Lin Feng and others, rushed into the battle circle, leaned over and lifted Cao Ang onto the back of the horse, rode his horse and broke through, and ran up the hillside.
Huang Zhong shouted regret and slashed several times in one breath, forcing the Cao army knight beside him, bent his bow and arrow, and shot three arrows in a row.
"Swoosh swish swish!" The three feather arrows left the string. The two personal guards beside Cao Chun heard the sound of the string, one swung the knife and the other raised the shield, each blocking the feather arrow, but could only watch the last feather arrow flying past their eyes and heading straight to Cao Chun's back heart.
"Puff!" Cao Chun was caught in an arrow on his back, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, dyeing the five-colored mane of the war horse red. He insisted on rushing to Cao Cao, leaned over and put Cao Ang down, and he slid down from the horse's back, laying on the ground, motionless.
Cao Cao was shocked and quickly raised his hand to order. "Retreat!"
The cavalry of Cao army helped Cao Chun and Cao Ang up, turned their horses, hugged Cao Cao, quickly left the battlefield, and galloped away.
Sun Ce rushed to the top of the slope and cursed Cao Cao's back, but he had no choice but to do anything. The two-legged man could not catch up with the four-legged horse, and even an archer like Huang Zhong could only sigh. Under the heavy protection of the knight, Cao Cao, who had a short figure, could only vaguely see a shadow, and could not see clearly at all.
Then, Yuan Shu also rushed to the top of the slope, looking at Cao Cao who had already floated away and had only a little back left, and laughed loudly. "Cao, don't run away if you have the will. Look at Nai Gong who doesn't step on your ugly face. Haha, I didn't expect you to be today, please feel free, feel free!"
Sun Ce had a black thread on his forehead, and reached out to pull out the feather arrow embedded in the armor leaves, and pulled out one to curse in his heart. You can feel good about it, I almost lost my life to save you.
"Boy, I am worthy of being Sun Wentai's son, so fierce!" Yuan Shu didn't notice Sun Ce's dissatisfaction at all. He pressed Sun Ce's shoulder and shook it hard. "Hehe, I'm grateful to me. You don't have to take it to heart. This is what I should do. Your father gave you to me, so I can't watch you be bullied by that short man. Hey, why are your face so ugly? You can't blame me for being late? Alas, you know, that short man is very tricky. I guess he will attack me halfway. I have to be careful..."
Sun Ce was very surprised. Yuan Shu took the risk to go out of the camp to save me?
"General, have you heard from me?"
"Your news?" Yuan Shu was confused. "When? What did you say? I didn't receive it." He suddenly remembered something, turned around and waved his hand. "Search it for me, it must have been intercepted by that short man."
Lei Bo immediately sent someone to search and soon found the two corpses. When Sun Ce saw it, he felt a little thrust. Cao Cao had already planned it, and Yuan Shu had not received any news from him. This treacherous hero is cunning enough.
"General, can your subordinates still fight?"
"Of course." Yuan Shu proudly reached out and pointed to the part under the slope. "This is the part that my subordinates can fight the most, and I can definitely trust it. This is Lei Bo, and the one in the distance is Chen Lan, who is all my old subordinates."
"Then don't delay. Lou Gui led 10,000 Nanyang County soldiers to attack my camp. Gongjin is still holding on, so we will rescue him immediately."
"Lou Gui? Nanyang County soldiers?"
"Yes, not only the soldiers of Nanyang County, but Lou Gui also gathered many powerful troops from Nanyang, and his strength was not weak." Sun Ce became more and more afraid of the more he thought about it. He had already guessed the truth. This was a big pit, and the mastermind behind it was Cao Cao. Not only Yuan Shu had become Cao Cao's pawn in Cao Cao's calculations, but even Lou Gui became Cao Cao's pawn. If Cao Cao hadn't underestimated the enemy and had been forced to attack him successfully, Cao Cao would be the only one who laughed to the end today.
OK, old thief, since you don’t kill me, let you taste my interests next.
"General, let's go and support Gongjin."
Yuan Shu looked at the battlefield in the distance, then looked at Sun Ce, and said with concern: "Bo Fu, you are injured, won't you bandage it?"
"There's no time." Sun Ce waved his hand. "It's not too late to defeat Lou Gui, capture the Hejia Manor, and bandage it in the Hejia Manor."
"Okay! That's how happy!" Yuan Shu was overjoyed and agreed repeatedly. "I finally defeated the short man after fighting in the middle of the night and avenged a revenge. Today I must be drunk before I can stop."
