Yan Liang's helmet had just been shot off by Zhao Yun. At this moment, his hair was disheveled and his body was covered in blood, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
Zhao Yun's reputation has long been spread throughout the world. Apart from Lu Bu, Guan Yu and others, Yan Liang can't think of anyone else who can compete with Zhao Yun head-on.
Yan Liang, who was still somewhat self-aware, decisively gave up his entanglement with Zhao Yun and picked a seemingly weakly defended place and rushed over, trying to break out of Cao Jun's encirclement from this "weakly defended" position.
Xia Houlan has always been in the last position among Lu Yan's gang of gangsters.
He felt that he was not well-known, so he didn't bother to announce his family status. Instead, he waited for Yan Liang to rush to the front of the battle line, and then suddenly burst into flames!
After so many years of being tempered, Xia Houlan's current strength is no longer the same as before.
How could Yan Liang have expected that there would be a general ambushing ahead?
A first-rate warrior sneak attacks an unstable and unprepared opponent with similar strength. The result can be imagined...
"Whoa!" Yan Liang killed a soldier who dared to block the road with one knife.
Suddenly, he seemed to see a bit of cold stars in front of his eyes, and then he subconsciously turned his body, and then felt a pain in his left shoulder!
"Pfft!!!"
Xia Houlan's sharp and hard iron spear head pierced Yan Liang's left shoulder fiercely, piercing Yan Liang's body!
The black spear tip came out from Yan Liang's back with a trace of blood!
"Ah! Ah!"
Yan Liang was in pain, his eyes were red and he stared angrily.
Some people will become as limp as a ball of mud before being injured or dying, while some people can burst into great potential between life and death!
Yan Liang obviously belongs to the latter group. If he doesn't even have the courage to fight to the death, he won't be able to become a top-notch master.
"How dare you, thief!" Yan Liang grabbed Xia Houlan's spear with his left hand, rounded the long knife in his right hand, and swept towards Xia Houlan's head!
"Woo!!!" The terrifying sound of breaking through the air came from his ears. Yan Liang's furious blow was filled with hatred. Xia Houlan didn't dare to use his own head to resist. Listening to this sound, looking at the power, even his head was beaten with iron. I can't bear it!
Xia Houlan decisively gave up the spear in his hand and leaned his upper body tightly on the horse.
Yan Liang's long sword was barely able to slash through Xia Houlan's back.
The other two cavalrymen of Cao's army who wanted to take advantage of Yan Liang's injury were in bad luck. They were struck in the chest by Yan Liang's long knife. A cloud of blood sprayed out from his chest and mouth at the same time, and they flew backwards.
Yan Liang shouted loudly, pulled out Xiahoulan's spear, and threw it at Xiahoulan.
Xiahoulan reined up his horse and dodged, and another soldier who had just rushed up was nailed to the ground with a spear, including his horse and man!
After being injured, Yan Liang burst out with terrifying fighting power, and at this moment, he frightened Sergeant Cao's soldiers so much that they did not dare to step forward.
Xia Houlan drove his horse to the soldier who was crucified on the ground, pulled out his spear, and said softly to him: "Brother, I will personally chop off his head for you and avenge you!"
After throwing the spear, the violent movement affected Yan Liang's wounds.
Yan Liang was brought back to reality by the severe pain in his shoulder. After the explosion of rage, his body was now fatally weak.
He knew that he could no longer waste time here, so he called the guards who were coming behind him, turned around and rushed in the other direction.
Yan Liang clamped the horse's belly, and the horse sat down and neighed with difficulty, then sprang out to the southeast like a sharp arrow.
But in the direction chosen by Yan Liang, there was a man with a face like purple jade and eyes like bright stars, holding a crescent halberd, blocking him in front.
Zhang Liao didn't have many opportunities to perform when he was under Lu Bu, and after switching to Cao Cao, he didn't have many opportunities to show his face... In fact, it's not that Zhang Liao didn't perform, it was just because the performances of others were too eye-catching, and their performances were not so impressive.
The bright spots were completely covered up.
Although Zhang Liao is not famous, Zhang Liao's bravery was praised by Guan Yu in history, and Sun Shiwan had personal experience...
Valley
After Yan Liang suffered a heavy loss from the unknown Xia Houlan, he did not dare to underestimate the unknown Zhang Liao.
Although Yan Liang felt that he had paid enough attention to it, he was seriously injured and weak, but he never thought that he would be decapitated by Zhang Liao's crescent halberd... only one blow!
Yan Liang and Zhang Liao passed each other, and Yan Liang's head rose into the sky with a column of blood!
Zhang Liao did not look back at Yan Liang, but stood there, looking apologetically at Xia Houlan who was catching up.
The duck he got flew away again... Xiahoulan stopped beside Zhang Liao and sighed: "That's it, I'm used to it..."
Zhao Yun also caught up, laughed and said: "Zi Heng, you have to continue to practice hard!"
"Humph!" Xia Houlan rolled his eyes at Zhao Yun and said, "I'll ask your husband for more Dali Pills when I get back!"
"Don't eat too much of that food, or you will gain weight..." Zhao Yun made a rare joke, showing that he was in a very good mood now.
"..."
Zhang Liao's personal guards happily picked up Yan Liang's big head and brought it to Zhang Liao. They congratulated: "Congratulations, general, for your great achievements!"
Zhang Liao used a spear to pick up Yan Liang's head, and then shouted loudly: "Yan Liang is dead. How long will it take until you surrender?"
"Yan Liang is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Yan Liang is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
As the news of Yan Liang's death spread across the battlefield, Cao's soldiers burst into loud cheers, while Yuan's cavalry remained deathly silent, and everyone was dumbfounded.
As the number one figure in the Four Court Pillars of Hebei Province and the supreme commander of a hundred thousand troops, General Yan Liang, who had been invincible on the Youji battlefield and made the enemy frightened, was actually killed by the enemy like this?
How long have we been fighting for? It can’t even last a quarter of an hour!
This situation completely stunned the group of cavalry soldiers who had been following Yan for a long time.
I don't know who it was, but in the crowd, I shouted sadly, "General... the general died in battle!"
As this shout came out, Yuan Jun's cavalry began to stir again.
Most people chose to turn around and run away, while a small number of people got off their horses and threw away their weapons and chose to surrender.
But a very small number of people, probably Yan Liang's bodyguards, chose to fight to the death.
There are only two to three hundred personal guards, and they can no longer make any waves.
The battle ended quickly. The ground was covered with corpses, and the ground beneath them was dyed red with blood.
There are too many fleeing soldiers and they cannot be pursued.
When the battlefield was finally counted, nearly 3,000 Yuan troops were killed in this battle, and more than 800 people were captured. The rest ran away.
But what makes Zhao Yun and others happy the most is the more than 2,000 jumping horses left by Sergeant Yuan!
The source of Cao Cao's war horses is limited, and he can only buy them from Yuan Shao or Xiliang princes at high prices.
Yuan Shao only sold Cao Cao war horses with middle and lower qualifications from the beginning, and later during the period of hostilities, he even stopped selling horses to Cao Cao.
The purchase of war horses in Xiliang was time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly, and Cao Cao was able to maintain a cavalry force of more than 10,000 at a huge cost.
Now that there are more than two thousand excellent war horses available, how can the cavalry commanders not be overjoyed?
"Come here! Send the news back to Baima and Puyang. We will wait for the task to be completed and return to Yangwu first!"
"Here!" Several mounted scouts flew away.
Zhao Yun and others simply cleaned up the battlefield and headed south.
