"Swish swish swish!"

Round after round of arrows fell down, ruthlessly reaping thousands of lives of Cao Jun.

At the same time, hundreds of tinned pots of turbulent oil were smashed into the valley as the arrows were shot at.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

With loud bangs, the fire cup fell into the rocks and burst suddenly, igniting the withered weeds and illuminating the entire valley.

At this point, Cao Jun, who was hiding in the dark valley, finally showed his appearance, completely exposed to the sight of the Xiliang Jun on the entrance of the valley and on the tops of the mountains on both sides.

"Cao Hong is here, whoever blocks me will die! Kill——!"

The fire was bright, but Cao Hong waved his sword and shouted, leading tens of thousands of soldiers to the heads of arrows and arrows, and stepped on the fire of prairie fire, and rushed to the entrance of the valley without fear of death.

"Cao Hong?" Li Li, who set out almost at the same time as Cao Hong, rushed to the foot of the mountain at this time and immediately heard Cao Hong's registration number.

Stopped on the official road outside the valley entrance, Li Li's expression shook slightly after hearing the sound. He narrowed his eyes and looked along the broken voice, instantly locking Cao Hong's position, and then remembering his armor color and body shape characteristics in his heart.

At this time, Li Li couldn't help but be glad that the Golden Beast Throne under his crotch was very impressive, with speed as fast as lightning, climbing up the mountains and down the rivers as if walking on flat ground, and his body was tall, allowing him to cross the heads of the soldiers to capture Cao Hong's figure as soon as possible.

"Lord, that strong enemy general wearing black armor is Cao Hong, the confidant general under Cao Cao!" Just as Li Li stared at Cao Hong with murderous aura, Zhang Liao raised his hand and pointed at Cao Hong who was leaping out of 300 meters away, and asked for an order: "The last general asked to kill Cao Hong, and I hope the lord will fulfill it!"

"Lord, the last general volunteers to fight Cao Hong!" Ma Chao continued.

Immediately, Xu Chu, Chen Da, Xu Ding, Xu Huang and other generals asked for the battle, and they all wanted to be the first to rush up and kill Cao Hong.

It is true that although Li Li was not many soldiers and horses around him at this moment, the total strength of the valley entrances at the north and south ends was less than 25,000; however, there were many generals following him. The commander of the Longxiang Camp, Ma Chao, the three brothers of the school captain, Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, the commander of the Shuofeng Camp, Qubei, the deputy commander of the Jinqi Guard, Zhang Liao, Hu Cheer, the army Sima Xu Huang and Xu Chu, Xu Ding brothers, as well as Chen Dao, He Man, He Yi, etc.; there were no less than 30 generals with combat power, all of them concentrated at the valley entrance to the south. They stopped by Li Li.

Seeing that the generals asked for battle, Li Li raised his hand and signaled that everyone would not have to fight. He ordered in a deep voice: "Archers shot on both sides of the valley entrance, and no Cao army must be let go!"

After a brief tone, Li Li said sternly: "Zhang Liao, Hu Cheer obeys the order, and order you and the two of you to lead the three thousand Jin Qiwei to rush in. Block the entrance of the valley tightly! Remember, don't hold back. The brave one will win when they meet on a narrow road, and be sure to kill Cao Hong!"

"No!" Zhang Liao and Hu Cheer received the order when they heard the sound. Without saying a word, they immediately waved their swords and led the three thousand gold guards' iron cavalry to rush into the valley.

"Go away, Xu Chu obeys the order. You and the two of you will lead the three thousand Jinxian Guards as the second echelon, and follow Zhang Liao's troops and break into the valley. You must firmly guard the 300-meter valley entrance corridor for me, and do not give in. Those who dare to fight and retreat will be killed!" Li Li ordered sternly.

"No, I will obey the order!"

Watching the blaeze, the two generals Xu Chu left, Li Li continued to order: "Ma Tie, Ma Xiu obey the order. You two collect all infantry arrows, and take three thousand infantry soldiers around the cliff west of the valley entrance, and shoot Cao's army hard. If the arrows are used up, throw them down with stones, sand and dust. Anything that can kill the enemy will be used for me! Tonight I will kill all 60,000 Cao's army here, and no one will be left!"

"promise!"

When the two Ma Tie brothers were ordered to leave, Li Li looked at Ma Chao sideways and said in a deep voice: "Meng Qi led the remaining infantry to retreat two hundred steps, guard the east official road and Gukou mountain road, and be sure to intercept the Cao army soldiers who rushed out of the valley. No mistakes are allowed!"

"Don't worry, lord, I will not let my lord down!"

Ma Chao bowed his hand and immediately pulled his horse and turned around. With a silver spear, he took more than 9,000 infantrymen away to the official road, lined up and was ready to intercept the Cao army soldiers who had broken through the valley entrance at any time.

After the generals took the orders and left in public, Li Li was only five thousand gold cavalry and only a few generals, making the originally crowded official road of Gukou suddenly relaxed.

"He Yi, He Man and the other generals are obeying the orders. You two stay at the valley entrance to command the archers to defend the exit, waiting for an opportunity to kill the enemy general!"

The He brothers bowed and replied, "I promise, I will obey the order!"

Li Li nodded slightly, the solemn expression on his face quickly dissipated, and he waved his hand to signal the Jinqiujian cavalry behind him to take fifty steps back, then stopped at the horse, stood in full swing, and was ready to wait.

Stopped on the official road, Li Li squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Liao who was rushing into the valley. The three thousand cavalrymen of Hu Cheer's troops met with tens of thousands of Cao troops led by Cao Hong. Then he turned his head and whispered to the two generals Xu Huang and Xu Ding: "Gongming, Boning, you two will follow me here tonight. Our five thousand combat cavalry is the third line of defense at the entrance of the valley. As long as the enemy rushed to the official road, we will kill him. If we can't intercept it, it will be difficult for the fourth line of defense composed of infantry led by Meng Qi to intercept Cao's army.

Therefore, the subsequent battle was very fierce, either the enemy died or we were killed. Cao's army had more than 60,000, which was more than three times that of our army. Once they were allowed to rush out of the valley, our army would be unable to stop it. Before the reinforcements of Hangu Pass arrived, we must not keep our benevolence and should not hold back. If our army does not capture prisoners, we will be killed!"

"No, I will obey the order!"

————————————

The valley with a total length of 345 meters is of different widths and narrowness, with stone concave everywhere, the widest is only three feet wide, and the narrowest part is only one feet, which can accommodate up to three war horses passing by.

But now, the two armies have a total of nearly 20,000 troops and are congested on such a narrow mountain road.

Cao Hong led more than 15,000 people to fight from the inside to the outside without fear of death. Zhang Liao and Hu Cheer led the three thousand Jin Qiwei to jump on horseback and swing their swords to block the valley. Such a fierce collision on the narrow road, the fight would be bloody and desperate.

"Kill——Swish swish swish swish!"

On the inside of the Gukou Plank Road, Cao Hong changed his habit of sitting in front of the guards and guarding the rear army to command the battle. He rode his horse and waved his whip and led the way. The swords in his hand were storming. The fierce and heavy swords stirred out in a low roar. In an instant, he cut a Jinqiu cavalry down. Over his head, he fell from time to time. There were also many stones and dust sands, causing the soldiers behind him to fall in pieces, and then they were trampled into meat paste by the soldiers rushing behind him.

But all this seemed to have nothing to do with Cao Hong, and it could not interfere with his fighting spirit of riding a horse to kill the enemy. Even if there were two arrows on his left shoulder, it could not stop him from charging forward bravely.

He was wearing a red tassel eagle helmet, a dark red battle robe, a black fat horse under his crotch, holding a black iron knife, and took the lead. He rushed into the plank road at a speed that was unattainable to the naked eye. He raised his arms and waved his sword and slashed the four Jinqiu guards who rushed in front. Then he used the power of the war horse's impact to heal the Jinqiu guards.

The momentum is magnificent, extremely brave, and it is unstoppable!

"Damn it! Cao Hong is extremely arrogant. Do you treat me, Zhang Liao as if nothing?"

The middle section of the 200-meter plank road guarded by the Jinqiu guard cavalry. Seeing Cao Hong killing wildly in front of the army, more than ten Jinqiu guard cavalry died tragically under his sword in a few breaths. Zhang Liao was filled with righteous indignation, his eyes were as red as fire, and his hands were clenched to try, hoping to rush up to kill Cao Hong immediately. However, he was in the center of many Jinqiu guard cavalry, and his path ahead was blocked, and more than a thousand war cavalry followed slowly, so that he could not move forward and retreat, so he could only watch Cao Hong, who was thirty meters away, killing all directions. However, he was unable to come forward to fight.

Just when Zhang Liao was furious, Cao Hong led Cao's soldiers to break through the plank road more than 20 meters, entered the relatively wide plank road, and met the Jinqiu Guards in close combat, fighting fiercely. Cao Hong's brave and fearless rushing and rushing to the many Cao army soldiers who were rushing to follow him, causing them to confront the Jinqiu Guards' horses with their flesh and blood to face the rushing and collision with the war horses under their crotch.

After nearly a thousand soldiers suffered casualties, Cao's soldiers, who were mostly infantry, curbed the shock wave of the Jinqiu cavalry. Then the soldiers of the two armies fought in the stone depression 130 meters inside the plank road.

In the stone depression that is more than tens of feet long and about three feet wide, nearly a thousand soldiers from the two armies fought wildly. This was almost a crowded close fight. The weapons in their hands could only be raised high above their heads to slash them out, otherwise the weapons would be redundant. They could not be used at all. There was nothing, and it was far less likely to be punched and kicked.

"General Wen Yuan, don't be anxious, wait for someone to rush forward and kill Cao Hong's evil thief!"

Seeing that his cavalry could hardly exert the slightest advantage of the cavalry in this narrow plank road, he could not resist the desperate charge of the Cao army infantry. Hu Cheer, who was standing side by side with Zhang Liao, turned over and dismounted, and then carried a pair of dark short halberds to push away the soldiers blocking their way toward Shiao.

But seeing him squeeze out a few horses to make some gaps, he immediately jumped and stepped on the buttocks behind a cavalry. His legs suddenly kicked hard, and he jumped sideways again, his feet pedaled like lightning on the stone wall, crossing the head of the crowded cavalry, and instantly crossing more than ten meters away. When his body lost his balance, Hu Cheer turned his back and fell on the mount of a Jinqiu Guard. Then he quickly stepped on the mount of Jinqiu Guards, raised his halberd and jumped towards Cao Hong, who was swaying his sword and slashing the cavalry of Jinqiu Guards.

This was the first time Zhang Liao saw Hu Cheer showing off his skills as a "iron-footed" Hu Cheer. The whole process was like flying over the eaves and walking on the walls. He quickly passed through hundreds of Jinni Guards in crowded crowds, and finally appeared in front of the enemy general Cao Hong.

Previously, almost all the generals of the Xiliang Army knew that although Hu Cheer was not very good at writing, he was reckless and had a very bad temper, he had heard that he could carry 500 kilograms and travel 700 miles a day. His hiking speed was definitely not inferior to that of a galloping war horse, and no one could match his iron feet. However, most of the main generals in the army knew that there was another person in the Xiliang Army who was still above Hu Cheer, and that was the flying general Li Zhi.

However, these are just rumors, but in fact, not many people have seen Hu Cheer and Li Zhi’s unique skills in flying eaves and walls.

But today, Zhang Liao really witnessed Hu Cheer's agility and skill. He was really extraordinary and amazing!
