Chapter 710 Death of Cao Hong

In front of that sharp edge is the tiger and leopard riding on horseback.

Each of them is wearing heavy armor, with majestic war horses under their crotches, as towering as Mount Tai. The aura of blood and fire is condensed, with the potential to swallow mountains and rivers.

In front of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were the soldiers of Yuan Shujun who were running around in panic.

These scattered soldiers formed a sharp contrast with the tiger and leopard cavalry.

But at this moment, Cao Hong and Cao Chun, who were leading the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, had faces full of horror and fear.

Cao Cao and others were so frightened watching the battle, not to mention Cao Hong and Cao Chun who were facing sharp crossbows?
Looking at the arrow that shimmered with metallic light, the two of them were struck by a sense of death that rushed directly to Tianling Gai.

After the sharp crossbow, Yuan Shu laughed wildly.

"Tiger and leopard ride?"

He laughed crazily, "Let me see if you don't have the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, what else is there to be arrogant about?"

"Fire arrows!"

"Fire arrows!"

He laughed and shouted loudly, as if he had already seen the bloody scene.

"My lord, there are still my soldiers and the troops of our allies there!"

Yuan Shu said coldly: "What our army? What allies?"

He was born into the fourth generation and the third generation, and he was one of the most noble families in the world.

He doesn't need allies so long as they can accomplish his goals.

The soldiers fired arrows together. In addition to the crossbows, the archers were also firing.

When the arrows were fired, not to mention the tiger and leopard cavalry, Yuan Shu's own soldiers were completely unable to bear it and fell down with screams.

The power of a real crossbow is enough to pose a threat to heavy armor.

It's not just armor-breaking with huge force, that kind of huge force is shot directly at it. With the current level of armor, the violent shock can kill soldiers.

But not many tigers and leopards died under crossbows.

Because although this kind of large crossbow is powerful, its accuracy is poor.

Seeing the scenes passing by, Yuan Shu said angrily: "Are you stupid? Shoot the horse!"

If you can't hit a man, can you still miss a horse?
Not only crossbows, but also archers shot horses.

Even the horses of the heavily armored cavalry such as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are armored, but naturally they cannot be compared with the armor on humans.

In today's world, the real mortal army, even the dare warriors are only half-armored cavalry, and the tiger and leopard cavalry are even less capable.

The war horse whined and fell to the ground. The mighty knight on the horse suddenly collapsed and fell heavily to the ground.

Some moved a few times and more people died without even a chance to struggle.

These heavily armored knights are naturally invincible on horseback.

But once he fell to the ground, it was very difficult to stand up, and he was even killed by the armor the moment he fell.

The person who once protected you may become your murderer.

Yuan Shu smiled more and more proudly as each tiger and leopard rider fell.

Everyone knows that killing an elite army such as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is better than killing ten ordinary soldiers.

Without these thousand tigers and leopards, Cao Cao's army would have fewer means to defeat the enemy.

Describe it in a way that is easy to understand.

Without the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Cao Cao's army will lose the ability to end the war and make the final decision at the critical moment.

The moment Cao Chun and Cao Hong encountered an ambush, of course they would not fight forcefully and immediately prepared to retreat.

However, the heavy cavalry cannot directly turn the horse's head while moving at high speed, and the riding skills of the tiger and leopard cavalry are not proficient to that level.

After this delay, Yuan Shu's troops on both sides began to surround him.

When Cao Chun and Cao Hong on horseback saw each other, they felt a thump in their hearts and knew something was wrong.

Cao Chun's face was filled with uneasiness, and he didn't bother to straighten his helmet even if it was slightly tilted, and said loudly: "Zilian.

If the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry wants to turn around, it still needs to rush forward a certain distance. This is like crawling into a trap by itself.

What should we do now? "

How to do?
What else can I do?
Cao Hong was quite ruthless towards him, and he gritted his teeth and said sadly: "Zihe, these thousand tiger and leopard cavalry are the key to my lord's victory.

It is impossible for both of us to go out together today.

There is no room for failure. I will lead my personal guards to block Yuan Shu's army. You lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and leave quickly! "

Cao Chun was shocked when he heard this. In this case, wouldn't cutting off the queen mean seeking death?
He swung away the arrow with one shot, ignoring the slight numbness in his arm, and said anxiously: "Zilian, how can this be done? How can I just watch you die?"

Cao Hong wiped the blood from his face and roared: "Zihe, don't waste time, get out of here quickly.

Are you satisfied if both of us die here?
After you get out alive, help me take care of my wife! "

Cao Chun held the spear tightly in his hands and said sadly: "Zilian, I will definitely avenge you for today's revenge."

Cao Hong's horse was not stopping, and he led his own soldiers to face the rain of arrows in the sky.

The wind is blowing, the water is cold, and the strong man is gone, and he will never return!

……

"Lord!"

Cao Cao had already put on his armor and helmet and was about to go into battle in person, but everyone quickly stopped him.

"My lord, the son of a rich man cannot sit down and be humble. Of course there are brave men who will take care of the battle. Why do you bother to go into battle in person?"

But Cao Cao directly pushed all the advisers away and said angrily: "You son of a rich man, if you lose this battle, you and I will both be prisoners of Yuan Shu's subordinates.

Once the tiger and leopard cavalry are lost, what can they do to defend themselves against the powerful enemies around them?

Defeat today, defeat again tomorrow, retreat today, retreat again tomorrow, retreat all the way to Xuchang?
Back then, I dared to lead the army myself in the battle against a hero like Liu Bei. Today, I am just facing Yuan Shu, so what should I be afraid of?

Zi Lian and Zi He are my clan brothers. They fell into danger because they accepted my order. Now that I have left them behind, how can I face the clan elders?
How can I, Cao Cao, still stand in the world?

Get out of the way for me.

Today, I want to see if Yuan Shu, the withered bones in the tomb, can save my life, Cao Cao! "

Cao Cao glanced at the counselors with fierce eyes, and there was a murderous intent in his eyes. He was an extremely suspicious person.

At this moment, these Yingchuan nobles were actually preventing him from rescuing Cao Hong and Cao Chun.

In anger, Cao Cao even suspected that they did this deliberately to weaken the power of the clan generals.

Xun Yu and Xun You are both the best among men, and they secretly knew something was wrong. Xun You quickly spoke up: "My lord, the battle is dangerous, and all the soldiers are worried about your safety.

In this world, you are the only hero who can bring peace to the troubled times. Just like the sun in the sky, if you lose your lord, the world will be in despair.General Guan is a divine general praised by the lord. He is capable of defeating thousands of enemies. If you have General Guan by your side, you will be able to ensure your safety. "

Speaking of Guan Yu, it is not true that only Guan Yu can save those two people. Xu Chu and Dian Wei around Cao Cao are both powerful generals who are not inferior to Guan Yu.

Mentioning Guan Yu was to make Cao Cao feel better.

At this time, only Guan Yu can do this.

Based on Xun You's understanding of Guan Yu, Guan Yu would definitely not refuse to rescue Cao Hong and Cao Chun.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard Guan Yu's name, Cao Cao's face became a little better.

Guan Yu!

Cao Cao quickly turned around and looked at Guan Yu, his face full of longing and said: "Yun Chang, Yun Chang!"

Guan Yu's green robe was fluttering with the wind. He held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in one hand. He closed his eyes slightly, and then suddenly opened them. A stream of light flashed through his red and phoenix eyes. He cupped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Shu is rebellious and disrespects the imperial court. Guan is willing to follow." Duke Cao fell into battle and rescued the two generals."

The angry expression on Cao Cao's face finally disappeared and he said loudly: "I am charging forward, with Yun Chang holding a sword at my side. Even if there are millions of people, what do I have to fear?"

After hearing this, Guan Yu paused while stroking his beautiful beard and slowly looked at Cao Cao. Obviously Cao Cao and Liu Bei were completely opposite people, but at this moment he actually saw the shadow of Liu Bei in Cao Cao.

Because Liu Bei once said this, when they were fighting Cao Cao's army, Liu Bei stepped forward with two swords, and Guan Yu protected him with a sword.

Liu Bei laughed loudly and said: "My second brother is invincible in the world. With my second brother holding a sword by my side, I will not be afraid of mountains of swords and seas of fire."

I can never finish recalling this memory.

At the beginning, they fought against the Taiping Army, the Hu people in Youzhou, and the Yan people, until they were chased and killed by Zhang Jiao and fled for their lives.

At first, I really felt that life and death were in an instant. I had been wandering all the way, and until I entered Qingzhou, I was still looked down upon by most of the nobles.

It wasn't until he got the help of Marquis Ying and married Qi Gong's legitimate daughter that he truly entered the eyes of the world.

Cao Cao may never understand the feelings of these brothers.

Maybe I understand but don’t want to believe it.

Several people who are not related by blood can actually trust each other so much.

Big brother.

Guan Yu clenched the Green Dragon Sword in his hand, with endless murderous intent in his eyes. He wanted to defeat Yuan Shu first, so that he could one day return to his eldest brother.

This was originally just an attack, but it turned into a sudden confrontation. Neither Yuan Shu nor Cao Cao was prepared.

Most of Cao Cao's generals were stationed in the military camp. He led his cavalry and Xu Chudianwei and other powerful generals who were ten thousand enemies to the rescue.

"General!"

As soon as they rushed down, everyone heard the sound of sorrow that shook the sky, and then saw Cao Chun breaking out, but Cao Hong was nowhere to be seen.

Cao Cao knew Cao Hong very well. He was able to risk his life to save himself at the beginning, but now he must take the initiative to cut off the rear.

When they looked further forward, they saw that Cao Hong had suffered several wounds and was covered in blood. His armor was in pieces, and there was even an arrow piercing through the side of his chest.

But even after suffering such damage, Cao Hong still roared angrily to block Yuan Shu's soldiers. He stood in front alone, waving a spear in his hand, and his power shocked the entire audience.

In this world between life and death, even if there are ten thousand enemies, it is nothing more than this.

Looking at this scene, Cao Cao couldn't help but his eyes darkened, and his eyes were about to burst and he said: "Zilian!"

His voice seemed to be weeping every word, filled with endless sadness, and the cavalry rushed past him on both sides like a torrent.

Xu Chu waved the horse in his hand and went to meet Cao Chun. Now that Cao Hong was trapped in the formation, nothing could happen to Cao Chun.

Looking at Cao Cao whose eyes were about to burst, Yuan Shu was still laughing wildly. This was his purpose.

He laughed loudly, but with a ferocious expression on his face he shouted: "Cao Cao, do you feel the pain? This is how I felt when I lost my son!
This is just the beginning. When I win, I will kill your sons.

Don’t you have many sons?
I can kill for a few more days. "

Yuan Shu smiled but his tone was extremely serious, and there was infinite hatred in his words, leaving no doubt about the authenticity of his words.

If Cao Cao were defeated, he would really kill all of Cao Cao's sons.

As for the daughter, there is no need. She can be rewarded as a trophy and become a slave.

War is like this, anyone can lose their life. Cao Cao has regained his composure, but his tone is extremely cold, "I, Cao Cao, swear to kill Yuan Shu.

Whoever can kill Yuan Shu will be rewarded with a reward of ten thousand gold. "

Dian Wei stood by Cao Cao's side, holding a pair of halberds in his hands to deflect the incoming arrows.

Xu Chu and Guan Yu led the cavalry to meet Cao Chun.

The quality of the soldiers of Yuan Shu's army is indeed relatively poor. Facing fierce generals like Xu Chu and Guan Yu, they are completely unable to resist. The tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Chun rushed out from the encirclement of Yuan Shu's army under the cover of the two. .

He was covered in blood, but fortunately he was protected by armor and had not been seriously injured. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was basically safe except for those who had been shot before and those who fell off their horses.

Cao Chun directly clasped his fists on his horse and cried: "Lord, Zi Lian covers our army and rushes out. You..."

Cao Cao supported Cao Chun and sighed: "It was me who let you two attack. I was sorry for Zi Lian. This is my fault."

When Yuan Shu saw that Guan Yu and Xu Chu had escorted Cao Chun out, he could only be helpless and furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Seeing that the army was crumbling, he knew that if he continued like this, it would not be him ambushing Cao Cao, but Cao Cao would overwhelm him in one wave.

So they shrunk their front line, and the armored soldiers stood in front with shields, shooting out waves of arrows to prevent Cao Cao's cavalry from rushing over.

The cavalry led by Guan Yu and Xu Chu were naturally not as elite as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. They only had time to take away Cao Hong, who was wearing more than ten wounds, and quickly retreated.

"Zi Lian!"

Cao Cao looked at Cao Hong's body covered in blood. Large pieces of his armor were broken into pieces, and almost all of his seven orifices were bleeding. It looked like he had suffered severe internal injuries, not just internal injuries, but several penetrating wounds. Almost every wound is fatal.

It would be useless to call all the best doctors in the world for this kind of injury.

This means that in this slightly magical world, these super generals have stronger survivability, otherwise they would have died long ago.

The generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou family were all sad.

Cao Cao said sadly but firmly: "Zi Lian, don't worry, your death will not be in vain, I will let Yuan Shu be buried with you as a slave.

I will take care of your wife and train your son well, just like I treat my own son. "

Cao Hong's wide-open pupils slowly fell, and his breath died.

Cao Hong died.

----

Cao Hong, courtesy name Zilian, was a native of Qiao County, Qiao County. He was a younger brother of Emperor Wu, and the emperor raised righteous soldiers. Hong Yi was close to him and followed him. Hong had courage and strong words, and he tried to save the emperor in danger. The emperor often said: " If my son is honest, I will have no worries."

Hong Zhong was good at fighting and never liked to talk. All the generals obeyed him. Gui Hong was not afraid of death and was loyal to the emperor without having any self.

The emperor attacked Yuan Shu, was ambushed, died in Hong, and when the country was established, he was given the posthumous title "Zhuang". ——"Book of Wei: Biography of Cao, the Marquises of Xia"

 After thinking about it, it was better to return Dian Wei to Boss Cao, otherwise the force would be a little mismatched.
