Chapter 280 Pocket Formation

Author: Ximen Yangzhou

In order to compete for credit, Yuan Shao and his three sons led their troops to chase each other, marching faster than during the day.

During the pursuit, Cao Jun encountered resistance several times, but they managed to escape after a few simple attempts. In the end, even Yuan Tan gave up his scruples, thinking that Cao Jun also knew that the situation was over, so the soldiers responsible for breaking up the rear did not try their best.

Cen Bi, the general who accompanied Yuan Tan, was not ranked high in martial arts in Hebei, but he was charging at the forefront. He found confidence in Zhang He and Gao Lan, and believed that he also had the potential to be a famous general. He imagined that he would be like the "Hebei Four".

The nickname of "Tingzhu".

Chasing from dusk to night, the moonlight shines on the earth, and the vision of the companions is not affected.

Yuan Tan was chasing after him, and suddenly he saw a few stars in front of him. At a glance, he knew they were the torches of Cao's army at the rear. From the size of the fire, he could infer that there were not many troops.

"Another group of Cao's troops."

Yuan Tan slowed down slightly and reminded the people around him: "I don't know who is blocking the way ahead. Let's deal with it carefully later."

Peng An joked: "With General Cen opening the way, no one can stop him."

"I feel like I can do it too." Wang Zhao assured, patting his chest.

Cen Bi raised his gun and clasped his fists and said: "The last general will lead his men to repel the enemy first, and the eldest son can follow slowly."

"Well, go ahead."

Yuan Tan had no doubt that he was there and signaled Cen Bi to go ahead and help clear the obstacles.

Cen Bi led his team towards the light of the fire, and in a flash he rushed to the opponent's formation and reined in the reins. He saw the general blocking the way covered in armor and holding a big ax in front of him.

He seems to be a famous general? I deserve to be famous today. Cen Bi then held down his spear and shouted: "Coming generals can be known by their names. I, Cen Bi, will not kill unknown people."

"I am Xu Gongming from Hedong."

Xu Gongming? Xu Huang? Cen Bi was startled when he heard this, and thought to himself why he always encountered hard problems.

Then I thought about it, Xu Huang was from the Baibo Army of the Yellow Turban Remaining Party, and was also a surrendered general in Cao Ying. It seemed that Hebei's surrendered generals were not enough, and other surrendered generals were also sent to stop him.

Cen Bi preconceived the idea and thought that Xu Huang could only cope with it, so he held a gun and invited the battle: "Xu Huang, right? Let me weigh your weight."

"bring it on."

After Xu Huang finished speaking, he raised his ax and assumed a charging stance.

Cen Bi rode out with his gun drawn first, intending to strike first to frighten the opponent. Seeing Xu Huang's unhurried approach, Cen Bi was even more sure that Xu Huang would just deal with it.

When facing Zhang He and Gao Lan, Cen Bi used radical moves of raising his spear and thrusting, and achieved good results. Now he still follows the same pattern in the match.

Two horses are galloping, almost ready to collide.

Cen Bi twisted his waist to control the horse and took a good posture early, then raised his spear and stabbed Xu Huang straight into the upper body.

There was a snap.

The tip of Cen Bi's spear almost touched Xu Huang's breastplate, but he suddenly suffered a violent impact under his left rib. His internal organs shook like an earthquake, and the pain went straight to his brain like a fountain. At the same time, his body fell under the horse.

I obviously shot first, but why did I get hurt first?

When Cen Bi was busy attacking, he didn't even see where the ax came from. Firstly, it was because of his carelessness, and secondly because of the disparity in strength between the two sides.

Xu Huang was taller than Cen Bi, and his ax was slightly longer than his opponent's gun. In addition, Xu Huang used a big ax as a weapon, which also reflected his strength. Gravity drove the weapon to accelerate, so that Cen Bi disappeared in the dark.

See clearly.

"ah"

Cen Bi fell to the ground and screamed in pain, but was soon relieved.

Xu Huang returned to his horse and swung his axe, sweeping it to the ground like playing polo. The tip of the ax directly penetrated Cen Bi's armor.

Because Cen Bi had armor, the external wounds were not fatal, but the force attached to the ax directly shattered Cen Bi's internal organs, causing him to vomit blood and die instantly.

Horse pole weapons can be divided into sharp weapons and blunt weapons. The ax is an unpopular weapon between sharp weapons and blunt weapons. It is slightly heavier than a machete. Cutting with a sharp edge is not as sharp as a machete, but there are blunt weapons.

The armor-breaking effect is similar to Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painted Halberd, but the difficulty of use is much lower than that of Fang Tian Painted Halberd.

Xu Huang only used two axes to crush the pursuing soldiers' dreams.

When Cen Bi fell to the ground, Peng An and Wang Zhao were stunned, and Yuan Tan was at a loss what to do.

"Who else?"

Xu Huang raised his bloody ax sideways. Seeing that no one on Yuan Tan's side responded, he had obviously been restrained by him, so he immediately signaled the soldiers to act according to his plan.

After a while, thousands of torches were suddenly lit behind Xu Huang, and they were swinging from side to side regularly.

Yuan Tan swallowed hard when he saw this, thinking that there must have been an ambush.

Suddenly a gust of autumn wind blew through the forest, and Yuan Tan felt a slight chill in his back.

"There is fire to the left of the fire"

"It's an ambush!"

"There are woods on both sides."

"Kill."

"Kill all the Yuan family"

Ten miles of dense forest set fire at the same time, and ambush soldiers on both sides rushed out at the same time, causing the originally quiet night to suddenly boil.

"I fell into the trap. I fell into the trap."

"Master, what should we do? Should we retreat or rush south?"

Yuan Tan at the front was obviously panicked. Faced with his general Peng An's question, he did not give an answer in time, but Xu Huang, who was blocking the way, helped them make a choice.

I saw Xu Huang leaping forward on his horse with a wave of his big hand, and the soldiers behind him rushed towards him like wolves, and the swaying torches flashed like the eyes of a pack of wolves.

Yuan Tan had seen the individual qualities of Cao's soldiers a few months ago. He was undoubtedly seeking death by rushing toward the Yellow River crossing.

Just as the Hebei troops were resisting, reinforcements came one after another from Xu Huang's rear. Yuan Tan caught a glimpse of Zhang He, who had just "defeated and fled". At this time, the two men's attacks were extremely fierce, and they were completely different from their poor performance just now.

"You've fallen into the trap, retreat quickly!"

As Yuan Tan shouted loudly, his soldiers began their escape journey.

Xia Houyuan and Zhang Liao were in ambush in the east woods, Yue Jin and Zhang Xiu were in ambush in the west woods. Xu Huang, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Shi Huan and Cao Ren were in the south, forming a pocket formation more than ten miles long.

Cao Jun attacked from three sides, and for a moment there were killings and cries that shook the sky.

The soldiers in Hebei were gripped by panic and retreated to the rear while resisting. The number of soldiers who died directly on the battlefield was far less than the number who died in the collision and trampling of their own people. However, Cao Jun's troops were limited and the fortified area was not long enough, so they could not defeat Yuan Shao's 100,000 soldiers.

Everyone is trapped.

The battle lasted until dawn. Half of Yuan Shao's 100,000 troops who attacked this time failed to return to the camp. More than a dozen Hebei generals were also killed in the rebellion. Fortunately, all three of his sons survived.

.

The Hebei troops returned to camp tired and frightened. Yuan Shao could only send out scouts to inquire about the situation, and learned that Cao's army was crossing the river after cleaning the battlefield.

Yuan Shao didn't know whether Cao Cao was cheating, and he couldn't organize an attack in a short time. He could only watch Cao Cao leave like this.

The end, the end.

Snap.

Yuan Shao slapped himself, complaining that he failed to control the situation at the last moment and was punished by Cao Cao.

"Lord."

"Lord!"

"Father."

Several people around Yuan Shao were shocked and immediately gathered around him, fearing that he would continue to harm himself.

"This defeat is my fault. It's a pity for those tens of thousands of soldiers." Yuan Shao felt sad and there seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes.

Guo Tu cupped his hands and advised: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists."
