Chapter 900 Xiahou Dun Became One-Eyed
Although the morale of the Han army was high and the morale of Cao's army was low at this moment, the number of Cao's army was more than twice that of the Han army. After suddenly switching to a defensive posture, and after being caught off guard for a period of time, the situation was barely maintained.
Moreover, the more than a thousand remnants led by Shi Huan also joined Cao's army after reorganization. With a brave general like Shi Huan, the morale of Cao's army recovered slightly.
"hateful!"
Zhang Fei was furious when he saw this, and said to Liu Bei: "Brother, I'm afraid the second brother won't be able to break the enemy's formation for the time being. How about I lead the troops across the river myself?"
Liu Bei shook his head: "Don't worry, wait a moment."
Although Guan Yu cannot break the enemy's formation for the time being, he is at least on the offensive, suppressing Cao's army and fighting, so there will be no danger for a while.
On the east bank of the Huai River, Han Hao's 10,000 Cao army was waiting in full formation, watching eagerly. If we cross the river and the enemy attacks us halfway across the river, it will be hard to predict the 20,000-strong army.
"well!"
Zhang Fei sighed angrily, swung the riding whip in his hand, and the black horse under his crotch ran back and forth, looking impatient.
On the other side of the river, Guan Yu couldn't help but feel a little anxious. If Xiahou Dun's army could not be defeated in a short time, then Han Hao would always be stationed on the east bank of the Huai River, and his eldest brother and Yide would not be able to cross the river. How could this be done?
Guan Yu snorted coldly and said to Guan Ping: "Ping'er, prepare to break into the enemy's formation with me!"
"Yes, father!" Guan Ping agreed.
Guan Yu encouraged the Han soldiers around him: "The traitor Cao fled the country and established the emperor in Pengcheng without authorization. This is treason. We are here today to attack the traitor!"
"Today, you are all heroes of the country! Follow me and defeat the enemy!"
Guan Yu shouted loudly, and then took the lead in taking the lead. The soldiers of the Han army were inspired by Guan Yu, and their morale was greatly boosted. They followed Guan Yu and launched a fierce attack on Cao's army.
"Hold it, you must hold it for me!"
Shi Huan, who was commanding at the front line, said loudly.
"Humph, the kid will die!"
Guan Yu roared angrily, and came astride his horse with a sword in hand. The war horse galloped on the ground with four hooves, and the green dragon sword rested on the ground, stirring up smoke and dust all the way.
"Ah, Guan Yu!"
Cao Bing saw Guan Yu's charging posture before and was shocked. Now they saw Guan Yu charging towards them again, and all of them were trembling with fear.
"Shi Huan, the dog thief, suffer death!"
A man and a horse galloped towards him, as powerful as gods in the sky. Guan Yu rushed in front of Shi Huan, and the Cao soldiers around him were frightened and dispersed.
cut!
The green dragon sword that was lying on the ground was suddenly lifted up, like a blue dragon rising into the sky, exuding boundless power, and the sharp blade went straight to Shi Huan's neck!
"ah!"
Shi Huan was shocked and quickly raised his spear to fight.
when!
The heavy sword was held on the ground before, and had accumulated power for a long time. Now it was slashed out with one strike, and the power it exuded was truly unstoppable! The spear shaft raised by Shi Huan was directly divided into two parts, and the Qinglong knife was cut down, hitting Shi Huan's shoulder, and blood gurgled out.
"ah!"
In severe pain, Shi Huan casually dropped the spear on the ground, turned around and rode away. Fortunately, he was blocked by the spear shaft, otherwise he would have been afraid that his arm would be cut off by this knife.
Shi Huan was seriously wounded with a sword, and Guan Yu stood proudly. Seeing Guan Yu's power, the surrounding Cao troops were so frightened that they turned around and ran away, while the Han army took advantage of the situation and rushed to kill him.
Encouraged by Guan Yu's serious injury to the enemy general, the Han soldiers once again advanced a section of the front line and defeated Cao's army.
"Gong Liu, are you okay?"
Shi Huan's right hand tightly covered his left shoulder and arm. Blood stained his shirt and seeped out from between his fingers. His face turned pale.
"It doesn't matter."
Shi Huan gritted his teeth and said: "General, don't take me as your priority. Command the army quickly. Don't let Guan Yu defeat our army when we go there, otherwise Huainan will be in danger!"
Shouchun is an important town in Huainan. If Shouchun is captured by Liu Bei, it will naturally be easy to conquer the entire Huainan.
While Xiahou Dun was talking with Shi Huan, Guan Yu's army had already taken advantage of the victory to advance farther and was getting closer and closer to Xiahou Dun.
"Huh? What a great opportunity!"
Guan Ping saw Xiahou Dun from a distance of more than a hundred steps, and his eyes lit up.
"Get my bow and arrows!"
The guards on the left and right immediately presented iron bows and wolf-toothed arrows. Guan Ping held the bow in his hand and set the arrow. The tight bow string was pulled open forcefully, and the sharp arrow was aimed at Xiahou Dun's eyebrows.
As long as Xiahou Dun can be killed, the battle is settled!
After taking aim, Guan Ping concentrated on it and instantly released the bow string.
Whoosh!
The sound of bow strings vibrating and arrows piercing the air came quickly. Shi Huan was shocked and said: "General, be careful!"
"Um?"
When Xiahou Dun heard Shi Huan's words, he subconsciously raised his head. Then he felt pain in his left eye and couldn't help but scream.
"ah!"
Guan Ping's arrow was originally aimed at Xiahou Dun's eyebrows. Because of Shi Huan's reminder, the arrow hit Xiahou Dun's eye.
"Uh-huh!"
The eyes are one of the most delicate organs of the human body, so if any dust particles fly into the eyes, the eyelids will quickly close to protect the eyes. Now Xiahou Dun's eyes were shot by Guan Ping's arrow. The severe pain hit him like a volcano erupting or a tsunami. Xiahou Dun couldn't help but scream.
"General, general, are you okay?" Seeing this, Shi Huan temporarily forgot about the pain in his shoulder and asked loudly.
"Haha, good job Ping'er!"
Guan Yu saw from a distance that Guan Ping shot Xiahou Dun's eye with an arrow, and couldn't help laughing.
"Xiahou Dun is dead, soldiers follow me to kill him!"
In ancient times, communication was very underdeveloped. On the battlefield where thousands of armies were fighting, the two soldiers did not have telescopes, so it was naturally impossible to observe the life and death of the commander at any time. Therefore, the flag usually represented the commander.
This is how you kill the general and capture the flag. Even if you kill the enemy general, the enemy may not know it, so you have to chop down the general's flag. When the enemy sees the flag representing the coach falling, they know that their coach is finished.
The officers and soldiers of Cao's army did not know what was going on. When they heard the Han army shouting "Xiahou Dun is dead" or "Xiahou Dun was shot to death by an arrow from General Guan Xiao", they did not know whether it was true or not. They were suddenly frightened and their morale was greatly affected.
The Han army took advantage of the situation and attacked fiercely, killing Cao's army for a while and retreating steadily, and the front line continued to advance.
"General Yuan Rang, cheer up!"
Shi Huan endured the pain and shouted to Xiahou Dun: "General Yuan Rang is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. If he falls now, what should I and the officers and soldiers of the three armies do?"
"Um?"
Xiahou Dun, who was in severe pain, cheered up when he heard Shi Huan's words. He forcibly endured the pain in his eyes and cheered up.
"Damn it"
