When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 413 Danger?
"Captain, Zhang He changed direction and lured us into the valley. Could it be that he is plotting something?"

Looking at the long and narrow valley ahead and listening to the faint chirping of insects from time to time, a trace of worry jumped between Zhang Xiu's brows. Even though he knew that Zhang He was ahead, only three horses could travel together at a time on this road. Seeing this, he was a little hesitant and didn't know what to do. He could only cast a questioning look at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao laughed loudly, pointed his whip towards the valley, and said nonchalantly, "I think Zhang He was a coward, tricking us into thinking he had an ambush, so we left in disgrace!"

"Really?" Zhang Xiu asked with some uneasiness.

Cao Cao nodded confidently. He smiled and said, "Sir Zhang, even if we retreat ten thousand steps, even if Zhang He really has an ambush, with the might of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the sharpness of the weapons, and the strength of the horses, what do we have to fear?! Are you afraid of a mere Zhang He?"

After these words were spoken, Zhang Xiu, who originally had some worries, could no longer sit still.

These few words successfully aroused Zhang Xiu's competitive spirit. Was he afraid of Zhang He? In terms of commanding a large army, he might think about the gap between him and Zhang He. If the number of soldiers he commanded was reduced to a thousand, then it would be more about bravery. In terms of bravery alone, he had never been afraid of anyone! Not to mention Zhang He? !
The worry on Zhang Xiu's brow disappeared. He raised his eyebrows, puffed out his chest, and said arrogantly: "Why should I be afraid of a mere Zhang He? Even if there are ten of them, I can capture them all!"

"Good!" Cao Cao was overjoyed. He had seen Zhang Xiu display his might. Although he was not sure how brave Zhang He was, judging from the fight between General Huang and Earl Diandu, he was at most on par with Hao Meng.

With Zhang Xiu around, why should he be afraid of Zhang He? !
Cao Cao stretched out his hand and clenched it towards the valley, as if he had grasped the great victory firmly in his hand. He took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, and issued a military order, "All comrades in arms! It's time to make achievements! Follow me into the valley, capture Zhang He, and make numerous military achievements!"

"Establish merit and capture the coward Zhang He!" Zhang Xiu was the first to shout.

With Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu taking the lead, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry shouted in unison: "Build achievements and capture Zhang He!"

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction. Morale was high and Zhang He could be captured!

"Send out the troops! Enter the valley!" Cao Cao waved his hand, and thousands of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry marched forward in a line, like a sword drawn from its sheath, cutting into the silent valley with incredible speed. It seemed that they were too sharp, and even the insects that had been chirping became frightened, and closed their mouths in fear at the sound of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's iron hooves.

At the same time, the Jizhou cavalrymen also had trembling legs and doubts in their hearts. Even though they were old soldiers, when they looked up at the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry coming towards them with the wind, they saw that each of them was tall and strong, equipped with complete armor and swords.

At such a distance and in the current environment, they could even see the cold light on the armor, which made people's scalps tingle.

Is it true that they can defeat this powerful army when the enemy outnumbers us?

Even a madman wouldn't think he could win, right?
Fortunately, Zhang He was in front of them, otherwise they would have dropped their weapons and surrendered to Cao Mengde long ago.

Zhang He took a deep breath, and it seemed that he was also feeling agitated in his heart.

At this moment, the valley was very quiet, so quiet that even the noisy chirping of insects could not be heard. At the same time, it was also very noisy, with the neighing of horses, the whistling of the wind, the heavy breathing, and the beating of the heart like a drum.
All of these showed the situation of Zhang He and the Jizhou Cavalry. One cavalryman retreated nervously, as if retreating would allow him to face the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry later. However, no matter how he pulled the reins, the horse did not retreat a single step. He became furious and kept cursing, "Why don't you retreat? Why don't you retreat?!"

It was not until the Jizhou knight beside him reminded him that he looked back and suddenly realized that it was not that he did not want to retreat, but that there was a cliff behind him and there was no way to retreat.
Panic spread among the four hundred riders like an epidemic. Some of them were ready to persuade Zhang He to surrender, but when they saw Zhang He's sharp eyes, they shuddered suddenly. They had an illusion that if they really said this, their lives might be in danger.

Zhang He looked around at everyone, his eyes becoming more determined, and he raised his arms high.

This action gathered the attention of the 400 Jizhou cavalrymen who were in disarray. A hint of doubt flashed in their eyes, but they knew what Zhang He wanted to do in their hearts. They heard Zhang He screaming: "Now we have no way to retreat! I heard that Zhang Yide is extremely cruel and loves to kill the surrendered! If we don't surrender today, we will die. If we surrender, we will also die! Since we can't escape death, we have no way back and can't retreat. Why don't we give it a try?!" "Raise your swords and fight bravely. Maybe there is still a way to survive! If you survive this battle, I will give you my wealth!"

"What do you think?!!"

The Jizhou knights fell silent. After a moment, they clenched their swords, their faces showing determination. They responded with the same loud voice, "Kill, kill, kill!"

Cao Cao, who led the troops, turned pale with anger, his beard trembling with anger. What did he hear? Zhang He, a commoner, actually made up a story that the Valiant Cavalry General Zhang Yide killed the surrendered soldiers?!

What a shameless bastard!
He glared at them, and Zhang Xiu and the other Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were also furious. If looks could kill, Zhang He would have been skinned and drained of his bones long ago.

"You bastard! How dare you insult the Cavalry General! You will be killed!"

Zhang Xiu was furious and rushed out on his horse with his lance in hand.

The war is about to start.

By the time Cao Cao reacted, Zhang Xiu had already arrived in front of Zhang He, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had already engaged in combat with the Jizhou Cavalry.

Looking at the horse lance that Zhang Xiu stabbed out, even Cao Cao felt the chill that made his eyes hurt, as if even Zhang Fei had to retreat. He was secretly delighted in his heart, because it turned out that Sima Zhang did not use his full strength at the beginning!
However, facing Zhang Xiu's fierce attack, Zhang He's face was not surprised at all, and he was as calm as a pool of stagnant water. However, his movements were extremely fast. He turned his body and flicked his wrist to avoid the horse lance. At the same time, he chopped Zhang Xiu's horse lance with his ring-handled sword, causing it to deviate from its direction.

Zhang Xiu's heart trembled. You know, he had been trained a lot by Zhang Fei and Pang De in the army before. He was also proficient in fighting with horse lance. How could he be easily defeated by Zhang He?

Zhang Xiu, who was blinded by rage, did not pursue the matter any further. He only knew that if one move didn't work, he would try the second, third, and hundredth move!

"Zhang He, you bastard, prepare to die!"

Zhang Xiu attacked fiercely, but Zhang He responded calmly. Even though Zhang Xiu's horse lance was wielded by him like a dragon, Zhang He's ring-handled sword was extremely powerful and he was able to hit Zhang Xiu's weak points every time.

The Jizhou cavalry was greatly shocked. Their general was indeed powerful. For a moment, the Jizhou cavalry, which had been suppressed by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, burst out with a power that shocked the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and made them feel difficult to deal with.

Unfortunately, the gap in strength cannot be completely made up by morale.

It was not until Cao Cao discovered that there were strange flags behind him.

How strange! Could it be that I saw it wrong?
