When Sali Gou led his troops to leave, there was also a discussion on the hill. The two parties involved in the discussion were Cao Zhi and Xia Houyuan.
After Cao Zhi led his troops to kill the Sali Dogs, he was very happy. He returned to the mountain and arranged sentries. Several people sat together and started talking. The topic was naturally the battle tonight. Several young people got together and had another fight.
After winning the battle, there was naturally endless talk to be had, and everyone was beaming with joy.
Old Chen Xiahouyuan was cautious and laughed. After talking, he brought the topic to the issue of staying and leaving. He argued that since many enemies have been annihilated here, something has been achieved. It is almost dawn. If the enemy attacks after dawn, he will attack us.
The force is very weak. Furthermore, the enemy has been engaged in a hand-to-hand battle in front of them, and their true strength has been exposed. They should retreat immediately, leaving a small number of people to monitor the enemy's movements, and retreat to Cao Mansion to join Cao Ren.
Cao Zhi and most of the soldiers were in a state of excitement and expressed their opposition and were unwilling to retreat. They believed that the battle was going so smoothly now, and that the Black Mountain Army of Sali Dog was nothing more than that. Everything was under control, and everyone's fighting spirit was very high. How much?
There is a sense of underestimating the enemy.
Cao Zhi said to a circle of generals: "I just asked all the men and horses to rush down just to prevent the Sali Dogs from understanding our true strength. Who would attack for the first time in a war and use all their strength? I am like this
The purpose is to confuse them and put them in a dilemma."
As Cao Zhi spoke, he walked to Xia Houyuan's side. When he finished speaking, he lightly patted Xia Houyuan's shoulder blade with his palm.
With.
Cao Zhi was a little complacent and continued with a smile: "I suggest that while they are still in shock, we can raid him a few more times." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Dian and the others became excited, "Yes, let's chop him a few more times.
....."
"If I kill a few more times, I'm afraid I'll kill all the Black Mountain bandits."
"Haha..." The last sentence made everyone burst into laughter.
Now this group of people are all a little excited, a little addicted to fighting, and they all want to fight against the Montenegrin army of Sali Dog for a few more rounds, including Cao Zhi, who also thinks so.
When Xia Houyuan heard this idea, he was a little anxious and hurriedly said to Cao Zhi: "No, absolutely not. Our victory lies in surprise. It does not mean that we can fight well. The temporary setback of the Black Mountain bandits does not mean that they cannot fight.
After all, these people have been in battle for a long time and have lived their lives with a knife in their mouth, so they should not be underestimated."
After Cao Zhi heard this, he saw that in the close combat just now, Cao Zhi's side also lost more than a dozen people, but the Shari Dogs suffered even greater losses. Most of the corpses on the mountain road belonged to the Black Mountain Army. This strongly proves that our combat effectiveness is
OK.
Cao Zhi, who was joking with Li Dian and others, was about to argue with Xia Houyuan when he suddenly heard the sound of war drums at the foot of the mountain, and the messenger came to report, "The enemy troops at the foot of the mountain are attacking." Everyone hurriedly stopped talking and went back to their posts to fight.
Everyone arrived at their respective posts and waited for a long time, but no one came up. After a while, the drums stopped. Cao Zhi lay on the top of the mountain, looked down for a long time, then turned to look at Xia Houyuan beside him, and said to himself:
"What the hell is going on?" Xia Houyuan also shook his head, expressing doubts.
After waiting for another half an hour, just as Cao Zhi and others let go of their tense nerves, the war drums sounded again. Cao Zhi and all the soldiers once again raised their nerves and concentrated on waiting for the enemy's attack. However, the war drums still sounded.
, and no one was seen.
Cao Zhi got a little angry, stood up, and cursed: "Why is it thundering? If it doesn't rain, what will happen?"
Xia Houyuan and other sergeants also stood up or stretched their heads to look down.
Xia Houyuan looked at the bottom of the mountain, thinking about something.
Cao Zhi was impatient and asked Li Dian to gather his troops and prepare to rush down to take a look. Xia Houyuan thought that it was too dangerous.
Cao Zhi said "ouch", grabbed a long machete from the guard's hand, and rushed down with more than 400 people. Xia Houyuan said "ouch" and could only order the remaining soldiers to mount their horses and follow Cao Zhi.
Zhi rushed down the mountain behind him.
Cao Zhi's more than 400 people rushed to the bottom of the mountain and separated left and right like wild goose wings. Li Dian reined in his horse and was about to shout loudly to the Black Mountain Army on the opposite side. Unexpectedly, Cao Zhi controlled the reins with one hand and held a broadsword.
After walking slowly on the road for a moment, a loud voice suddenly shouted: "The thieves chief has invaded my territory, come and die under the sword quickly, come on!"
After saying that, he raised his sword over his head, kicked the horse with both feet, and galloped straight towards the dozen Montenegrin troops directly in front who were wrapped in animal skins and carrying bows and arrows.
Li Dian's eyes widened when he saw it. He knew that this general was in the capital and fought bravely when he besieged the imperial city. Unexpectedly, he became more and more "brave". Cao Zhi held a 60-pound thick-backed weapon in his hand.
There are really not many people who can stop him from using the machete. If someone blocks him, he will kill someone, and if someone blocks him, he will kill a Buddha.
Li Dian was worried. If Cao Zhi had any good intentions, even ten of Cao Zhi's heads wouldn't be enough to chop him off. At this time, he didn't care that most of his men were infantry. He immediately waved his sword and shouted: "Follow the general and kill me!" This Li Dian didn't care that most of his men were infantry.
Dian had excellent arm strength and good riding skills. He used two three-foot-long horse-cutting knives. He held the knives in both hands and controlled the horse with his legs, chasing Cao Zhi wildly.
Seeing this, more than 400 soldiers had no choice but to chase after the horse. The night before dawn is always the darkest, and the dew made the road very slippery. In an instant, all formations disappeared.
Cao Zhi was riding a good horse. He was only a stone's throw away and rushed there in an instant. He loosened the reins, raised his sword with both hands, and rushed towards a chubby figure in the middle of the group of people like a gust of wind.
"Capture the thief first, capture the king", Cao Zhi still understands this principle.
Under the flash of the torch, I saw the man wearing a tiger skin robe and holding a long knife across the Ma'an Bridge. This man was Huang Cheng, and his mission was to harass the troops stationed on the mountain, intimidate them, and contain them.
In order to prevent them from retreating to rescue the Cao Mansion, this task can be said to be extremely easy.
As soon as the Shari Dog left, the free leader ordered each of his men to hold two torches, beat the war drums every half hour, and run their horses around in the open field at the foot of the mountain, bluffing and threatening. Huang Cheng stood here and shouted loudly
He was afraid of all kinds of traps on the mountain. He expected that there were not many defenders on the mountain, and they would never dare to go down the mountain to fight under such a momentum, so he was a little careless.
It was his unlucky fate. Today he met Cao Zhi. Not only did he go down the mountain to meet the enemy, he actually charged over and killed him single-handedly. Huang Cheng was standing an arrow's distance from the mountain road. Cao Zhi's soldiers came down ready to fight, and they didn't even use torches.
Point, he stood here and had no idea that Cao Zhi had already gone down the mountain. Although Cao Zhi shouted at the bottom of the mountain, because he was also yelling at the guards on the mountain, he didn't hear clearly at all, and he thought it was the mountain that was yelling back.
.
At this time, when things were at their darkest, Cao Zhi was riding a black horse, wearing a cyan robe, blending in with the night. Although the horse's hooves were fast, there were bluffing Black Mountain cavalry galloping around. They didn't even care until Cao Zhi rushed.
When they got closer, they held swords in both hands and charged straight into the crowd. Under the cover of more than ten torches, they realized that this man was not one of their own.
One side was unprepared, and the other side was galloping, and as they got closer, Huang Cheng's eyes widened in shock, and he saw a horse approaching at a fast pace. The person on the horse was wearing a green robe, and the person on the horse had a dark face.
His eyes were wide open, the veins on his forehead were popping out, and his hands were raised high in the air in a strange posture. This was not who Cao Zhi was.
The horses were as fast as lightning, and the dozen Montenegrin troops had no time to react. It was not until those hands with weird postures swung down hard at Huang Cheng's shoulders and crotch, and the torches reflected a bright light in the air, that they realized
The knight held a gleaming machete in his hand.
The machete weighing more than sixty kilograms, with the force of the fast horse rushing forward, brought up a rustling sound of wind, stirring and flying in all directions. When the horse fell, Huang Cheng couldn't avoid it, and he grabbed the knife with both hands in shock.
The handle could barely be lifted off the saddle, and the blade had already chopped off diagonally.
Blood spattered from the cavity, and the head rolled to an unknown direction. The knife was slashed from the right neck, and half of the body was cut out from the left rib. Half of the shoulder was missing, leaving the headless body shaking in the blood spatter.
He thumped twice and fell under the horse.
The torch in the opponent's hand was the most obvious target. Cao Zhi used the broadsword to swing left and right, slashing and slashing. Anyway, there were enemies in front, back, left, and right, so he killed them without any scruples.
Those people had been in battle for a long time, and they would not have been so slow to respond. However, when they saw Huang Cheng in the middle, he was killed by Cao Zhi as soon as they met, and they were stunned. Although the shock was only for a moment, it was already
Five more people were hacked to death by Cao Zhi's sword.
The other people shouted and then fled away on horseback, throwing torches at Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi waved the torch away with his sword, and he was ready to kill. He laughed and chased those people on horseback.
put.
While chasing him, he scolded me: "I want you to play tricks on me again."
Li Dian saw him from behind and shouted anxiously: "Brother, come back quickly!"
Cao Zhili ignored him and chased after a dark shadow in front of him. He yelled and slashed down with his sword. He saw the man in front of him suddenly reined in his horse and lifted the horse's front legs high. Xi Yuyu roared and heard "
There was a "clang" sound, and Cao Zhi's arms went numb.
The leader of the Black Mountain Army was in trouble. He was using a three-pronged fork that was made of steel even with the handle. In terms of weight, it was not inferior to Cao Zhi's sword, especially in terms of arm strength. But Cao Zhi was
The man swung his sword and slashed. The man parried hastily. Even though he was three points stronger than him, the shock made his hands numb. Although Cao Zhi's sword had a gap, his fork had been bent.
Already.
The man made a decisive decision and immediately threw the bent fork at Cao Zhi with his backhand. He shook the horse's reins, bent down and galloped forward along the official road.
Cao Zhi swung his sword and smashed away the Tiancha, and was about to pursue him again. Suddenly a horse rushed out of the diagonal stab and shouted urgently: "Brother, don't chase me. The Shari Dog led a large group of people and took a detour to attack Cao Mansion."
Come on." Fortunately, the torch on the ground was not extinguished, Cao Zhi caught a glimpse of the man, and it turned out to be Le Jin.
Cao Zhi shouted "What?" and was about to ask, when there was a loud shout from the right and a spear was stabbed towards him. Cao Zhi hurriedly leaned back to hide, raised his knife and knocked out the spear.
The man was fighting with Cao Zhi and Le Jin, and the three of them were fighting like a revolving lantern. At this time, the sky and the earth were vast, and they were all illuminated by a few unextinguished torches on the ground, so the three of them were very cautious.
No one dares to get too close.
The Montenegrin Army cavalry from far and near had discovered that Huang Cheng was under attack, and rushed over with shouts. Fortunately, the light was too dark, and there was another Montenegrin Army leader fighting with them. Those Montenegrin Army cavalry could not use their special skills in cavalry and archery.
Otherwise, even if Cao Zhi and Le Jin have martial arts skills, they will inevitably be shot into thorns.
At this time, Li Dian had already galloped in front of him. With a flick of his wrist, he skillfully pulled out two sword flowers with his two sabers. He clasped his feet on the stirrups and stood up, slashing at the approaching Montenegrin army like a rainstorm with his two swords.
Forced them back.
The infantrymen who were lagging behind also arrived one after another. The three men turned their horses and charged back. There were more than ten Montenegrin soldiers standing around with swords and guns, and they were entangled. Cao Zhi was very anxious at this time. He didn't know that he had just rushed over unexpectedly.
With one knife, Huang Cheng was actually killed. At this moment, he saw the Black Mountain cavalry rushing over. If the three of them were entangled, let alone returning to their own mansion, they would have to be reimbursed here, so they didn't stop.
Instead of fighting, the weapons collided for a moment, knocking away the opponent's attack and never letting go of the fight. He fought with Le Jin and Li Dian to fight back.
