Chapter 274: The End of the Hero(1/2)
Yuan Shao looked at this loyal general and said anxiously: "I, how can I leave the army... No... You lead a group of people, don't resist, rush out during the chaos! Tell my son Yuan Shang in Ye City,
Go north...let them continue going north...and escape!"
As Yuan Shao spoke, he took off the seal of the general of the Han Dynasty from his waist and handed it to Zhang Nan, telling Zhang Nan to give this to him. At the same time, he also conveyed that he was not a good father. Since his eldest son Yuan Tan had died in the battle,
Yuan Xi is guarding Youzhou, so this seal of general can only be passed on to his youngest son Yuan Shang.
Yuan Shao forced Zhang Nan to retreat with his sword and looked at Zhang Nan who was retreating.
Yuan Shao then mounted his horse, drew his sword, and shouted to the tens of thousands of cavalry behind him: "Brothers...the fate of Jizhou depends on this battle! For Jizhou! For our Han Dynasty! Let us fight to the death with these Chu barbarians.
!Rush!"
Yuan Shaojun rode towards the crazy wolf pack, followed Yuan Shao behind, and charged towards the Chu army.
Faced with Yuan Shao's cavalry who desperately attacked Lu Bu's middle army.
Lu Bu, who was immediately wearing armor, tightened his grip on the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, and the elite Chu army cavalry behind him also gripped their weapons again.
Lu Bu ordered: "Move the chariot!"
The chariot was pushed away by the soldiers of the Chu army, and the front was bright.
After these chariots were pushed away, it was like a curtain slowly opening, revealing the main frontal force of the Chu army led by General Lu Bu.
Lu Bu raised the Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand and shouted loudly: "Army, now is the time for you to kill the enemy and make a contribution. Wipe out Yuan Shao's main force in Jizhou! The Chu army is mighty!"
The cavalrymen raised their weapons one after another and shouted in unison: "The general is mighty!"
Lu Bu gently pointed the Fangtian painted halberd in his hand forward, and the Chu army hussars behind him rushed towards them like a tide, riding their horses and waving their swords.
The shouts that resounded through the night sky filled the air everywhere...
Yuan Shao continued to kill all the soldiers in his way. Finally, under the protection of tens of thousands of elite soldiers, Yuan Shao rushed to the front of Lu Bu's army alone.
Lu Bu waved Fang Tian's painted halberd and shouted softly: "Let go!"
Hundreds of crossbowmen behind him fired at them with painted feather arrows.
Yuan Shao's face, chest, and horses were hit by arrows one after another, and a war horse neighed in pain.
Lu Bu said calmly: "This is the end of a generation of heroes."
The moment Yuan Shao fell, Han Qiong in the battle fought desperately to rescue Yuan Shao's body. Han Qiong waved the long knife in his hand, and the sword was invincible, and he killed the Chu army in the chaos...
…
Unknowingly, night fell, and there were still scattered fights at night.
In the early morning, the sun has just emerged from behind the gray mountain tops. The warmth of its first few rays communicates with the coolness of the fading night, making people feel a sweet tiredness.
The battlefield that had just gone through a battle fell into silence, and dawn came with a milky white fog.
The entire hill was covered with the corpses of Huang Zhong's regiment and Yuan Shao's cavalry and infantry.
On the top of the mountain, Huang Zhong led the remaining twenty or thirty cavalrymen to guard the temporary fortifications vigilantly.
Using the faint light, they saw the corpses of Yuan Shao's army everywhere, including war horses, dead bodies, and the dust raised by the war horses as they continued to move north.
A sergeant with a wound on his face and some ulcers on his armor shouted to Huang Zhong: "General! Look, Yuan Shao's people have retreated!"
Huang Zhong, holding a big yellow bow in his hand, slowly walked out of the fortifications and looked sadly on the hill.
Everywhere in the field of vision were soldiers who died in fighting.
Huang Zhong looked back and saw that the remaining sergeants standing in the fortifications were also covered in wounds, and each one looked like a sculpture.
A cavalryman said a little guiltily: "General Huang, the general asked us to meet him at the gate of Yecheng."
After Huang Zhong heard these words, he looked up at the sky desolately and sighed: "I am the only one left out of the 18,000 soldiers and cavalry of the Huang family, so what's the point of rendezvous?"
The sergeant said angrily: "But we held back Yuan Shao's main force and preserved the Chu army's supply line." Huang Zhong looked back, and then sighed helplessly: "It's a pity that the Chu army's military legislation does not evaluate it this way.
, our army's losses are too great, I'm afraid..."
Huang Zhong didn't want to talk anymore.
The surrounding fields are vast and foggy.
Huang Zhong just lowered his head and ordered: "Pack up the weapons, bury the bodies, count the number of people, and when done, exit the battlefield!"
Huang Zhong gave the order seriously.
The desert wilderness is littered with corpses, and Yuan Shao's banners, weapons, golden drums, and horns are scattered all over the wilderness...
A large flock of crows flying in the sky made a loud noise.
The cavalry mobilized by the Chu army crossed the blood-stained fields, and the sergeants looked back.
In the other direction, the captives of Yuan Shao from the brigade were escorted over.)
General Lu Bu, surrounded by his lieutenants and mounted guards, came on horseback and stopped.
General Lu Bu looked around the battlefield with cold eyes and murmured: "There are corpses everywhere, and the setting sun is like blood!"
Zang Ba galloped in from afar.
Zang Ba came on horseback and reported the results of the battle to Lu Bu: "General, we have checked all the corpses, and Yuan Shao Shanyu himself has not been found!"
General Lu Bu looked at Zang Ba and ordered: "Send light cavalry in all directions and search for me inch by inch!"
"yes……"
Zang Ba then rode away.
General Lu Bu’s famous leader: “Herald!”
The herald rushed forward on his horse and shouted: "The general is here!"
"Except for Zang Ba's troops who are here to clean up the battlefield, all other troops will follow me to attack Ye City and try their best to destroy Yuan Shao's strategic rear!"
The herald asked: "Including General Huang Zhong's department?"
Lu Bu replied angrily: "Of course, let him contact me quickly!"
The herald shouted and replied: "Yes..."
The herald rode away.
Looking at the battlefield, General Lu Bu sighed: "After all, he is Yuan Shao's trump card, and his defeat is so tragic! All armies, follow me to continue to pursue, flatten the Ye River, and sweep through Ye City!"
General Lu Bu's eyes narrowed, his horse jumped out, and the group of cavalry followed.
The magnificent battlefield is like an oil painting.
General Lu Bu and his troops marched through the dust and corpses in the fields and rushed towards Yecheng.
The glory of the battlefield also ended with a magnificent scene, and the King of Chu Nie Zefeng who was strategizing in the rear certainly enjoyed this suffering. That was the King of Chu Nie Zefeng who was thousands of miles away.
On the Imperial Road in Xuchang City
On the carriage, Nie Zefeng read the military report amid the bumps.
Ma Liang rushed up on horseback with military reports.
When Yuan Mai saw Ma Liang coming, he quickly drove the carriage to a stop.
Nie Zefeng suddenly stood up from the bumps and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"
Ma Liang hurriedly boarded the car and replied: "By some mistake, Lu Bu's army ran into Yuan Shao's main force!"
Nie Zefeng, who received the military report, took a brief look at it. After reading the military report, Nie Zefeng commented naturally: "Since ancient times, poor people and common people have their destiny. It's not that enemies don't get together."
Ma Liang comforted him: "I feel that there is no need for the king to suffer here. The plan has been decided. Everything depends on the ability of the soldiers... and... and..."
Nie Zefeng asked seriously: "What else?"
Ma Liang replied hesitantly: "Miss Zifeng is dying!... She said she wanted to see you for the last time."
Nie Zefeng closed his eyes in distress and said to Yuan Mai who was driving the car: "Let's go! Go see Miss Zifeng!"
Nie Zefeng, accompanied by Ma Liang and Yuan Mai, arrived at Miss Zifeng's room.
Of course, Ma Liang and Yuan Mai were standing outside the room, and when Nie Zefeng walked into the room, his eyes were filled with medicine jars, and he could even hear the sounds of babies crying.
Miss Zifeng was looking at the maid with a bronze mirror.
Nie Zefeng walked into the room anxiously and reflected the truth in the bronze mirror.
The maid reminded the girl Zifeng who was lying on the couch: "The king is here to see you."
After hearing this, Miss Zifeng quickly covered her face with the quilt.
Nie Zefeng walked quietly and sat in front of Miss Zifeng: "Zifeng, it's me."
One of Miss Zifeng's hands weakly stretched out to the king.
Nie Zefeng grabbed Miss Zifeng's hand and shed tears: "You are always like this. Every time you come here, I can't even look at you. It's always like this... I really want to see your silly smile again!"
Hearing this sentence, it was as if a hard dagger instantly broke Zifeng's chest, and the bronze mirror in Zifeng's hand fell to the ground.
Everyone knew, including Nie Zefeng, that Miss Zifeng had left him forever.
Nie Zefeng hugged Miss Zifeng's blanket and cried loudly, saying: "I'm still waiting to go to the grassland with you! Oh my God!..."
