At ordinary times, on the official road to Henan City, Gao Shun led 18,000 infantry and cavalry. The dust was flying, and from a distance, a large and mighty mass of people could be seen.
Gao Shun rode a green and chestnut war horse and carried a long spear. His face looked very anxious. He turned around and asked: "How far is it from Henan City?"
"General, it's less than thirty miles," the colonel replied.
"Send the order, the whole army will speed up and must rush to Henan City to meet the lord." Gao Shun shouted loudly.
"promise!"
With an order, the whole army speeded up again, with the cavalry running wildly in front, and the infantry following behind, gradually widening the distance.
After galloping forward for less than five miles, Gao Shun and others suddenly heard the sound of war drums. Before they could react, they saw a group of cavalry pouring out on the road in front. The first one was very fair and dressed in smart clothes. , there is a sense of elegance between his eyebrows, but he also has the majesty of a warrior.
"Uu——"
Gao Shun raised his voice and hurriedly reined in his horse. The cavalry behind him also stopped. When he saw Xu Chu following behind the fair knight, he couldn't help but frown.
However, he was eager to be the savior. Even if someone blocked the way, he would not be afraid. Although Xu Chu was a difficult person to deal with, he could ignore it and go around directly.
"Who's blocking the way? Tell me your name!" Gao Shun shouted immediately.
"General Gao, I am Xu Shu, whose courtesy name is Yuan Zhi. I am currently serving as a military advisor and general under the Marquis of Wei. I have been waiting for you here for a long time. I also ask General Gao to dismount and surrender as soon as possible."
Gao Shun had never heard of Xu Shu's name. Veins popped out on his face with anger. He tightened his grip on the spear and was about to ride out when he suddenly saw a group of horse infantry flashing out from the left side of the official road. The two leaders were Li Dian, Shi Huan; a group of cavalry and infantry also flashed out from the right side of the official road, led by Yue Jin and Han Hao; and an army quickly flashed out from behind, and the leader turned out to be Dian Wei, and the one beside Dian Wei It's Li Tong.
The Wei army surrounded Gao Shun on all sides. Gao Shun brought only 3,000 cavalry, while the Wei army had 10,000 people, so they were still waiting for work.
Gao Shun looked around and thought to himself: "What's wrong? I only focused on saving my lord, but forgot that the enemy could set up an ambush. In this way, our army will definitely die. Even if the 15,000 infantrymen behind us arrive, it may not be possible." They are the opponent of this Wei army. The only way is to break out quickly, before the enemy encircles them..."
"Kill out!"
Gao Shun moved forward with his spear and rode his horse towards the left. He took the lead and opened the way with his spear. The trapped soldiers and wolf cavalry behind him were all like tigers.
Li Dian and Shi Huan didn't panic. They let the infantry in the front row shoot a shot of arrows and then withdrew. They followed the cavalry to meet the enemy, and the two of them killed them together.
Gao Shun deflected the arrows with his spear. When he saw Li Dian and Shi Huan leading the cavalry, he sneered and took action with his spear angrily.
"ah!"
With a loud shout, Gao Shun passed by Shi Huan. There were a few drops of sticky blood on the tip of the gun, and there was already a wound on Shi Huan's shoulder.
Li Dian was also a master of using guns. He saw Gao Shun casually stabbing Shi Huan with a shot. He was so quick that he didn't even see what was going on. It was as if Shi Huan had bumped into him. However, he clearly saw Shi Huan take action, and he was faster than Gao Shun, but he didn't expect that Shi Huan was injured.
In a moment of disbelief, Li Dian thrust out his spear, but Gao Shun ducked sideways.
Gao Shun took advantage of the situation and pushed Li Dian's spear away. He swiped the tail of the spear and almost hit Li Dian. Fortunately, Li Dian reacted quickly and blocked it with his spear.
"when!"
With a crisp sound, the two people separated immediately. Gao Shun rushed directly into the Wei army's camp, drawing a line with his spear without looking back. The cavalry following behind him rushed over quickly, and they were all full of energy. It was Shi Huan who was stunned.
, Li Dian was forced to retreat.
You know, the soldiers trapped in the camp are all generals who can be junior captains, captains, army commanders, etc., and all of them are good at martial arts. When this group of people gather together, they are like two thousand generals.
It was like a storm, and it was lucky that Li Dian and Shi Huan were not killed by their hands.
Xu Shu saw that Gao Shun had taken the lead and that all the trapped soldiers and wolf cavalry were fierce, so he immediately said to Xu Chu: "Quickly stop them and surround them with the whole army. If Gao Shun cannot be captured alive, kill him immediately. Don't tolerate it!"
There was a little light in Xu Chu's eyes, and he waved his sword, clapped his horse and headed towards Gao Shun, followed by the cavalry who fought bravely to kill the enemy at night.
At this time, Le Jin, Han Hao, Dian Wei, and Li Tong all led their troops to kill him, and the army began to encircle him.
"ah……"
There were screams one after another, and it was unclear whether they were from the enemy or our own. Gao Shun just kept fighting forward without looking back.
Suddenly, Gao Shun used his superb martial arts to cut a bloody path and rushed out. The cavalry behind him quickly expanded the bloody path and followed Gao Shun all the way.
"Gao Shunxiu, go!" Xu Chu raised his sword and came over to block Gao Shun's way.
Gao Shun knew that Xu Chu was a troublesome guy and didn't want to mess with him. He just wanted to return to Henan City and fight side by side with Lu Bu.
After turning the horse's head, Gao Shun walked southeast with more than a hundred riders. Hearing the screams from behind, Gao Shun felt uncomfortable, but he did not look back, not wanting to see that tragic scene.
Seeing that Gao Shun was about to leave, Dian Wei immediately turned around and pursued him. He met Xu Chu, and each led dozens of cavalry in hot pursuit.
Xu Chu shouted loudly while running: "Gao Shun, come and fight Grandpa for a hundred rounds!"
After chasing for nearly two miles, Gao happened to see the infantry coming from behind, and his face was overjoyed.
He quickly ran into his army and immediately ordered the archers to start shooting, forcing Xu Chu and Dian Wei to retreat. Then he reorganized his lineup and began to retreat slowly without attacking again.
The battle on Xu Shu's side was coming to an end. He saw people falling down one after another, but his subordinates were still standing there, so he loudly said: "Kill them all, leave no one behind!"
After a while, the Jin soldiers who did not break out of the encirclement were all massacred by the Wei army in the encirclement.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu retreated and came to Xu Shu's side, cupping their hands and saying: "Commander, we are incompetent and let Gao Shun run away. He blocked our way with the soldiers following him. Now he has not returned to the original route, but is heading towards
The southwest moved over."
Xu Shu thought for a while and said: "Gao Shun can't run far. You lead the cavalry to chase me. You must come back with Gao Shun's head. Once this man wakes up, he will be very scary."
"promise!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Han Hao, and Shi Huan immediately pursued the enemy with their cavalry, while Xu Shu, Li Dian, Le Jin, and Li Tong stayed behind to clean up the battlefield.
Gao Shun retreated all the way. This time he did not take the main road, but a small path, and quickly moved closer to the mountains near the official road.
After a while, Gao entered the mountainous area by the way, and the horses could barely walk.
As soon as they came over, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Han Hao, and Shi Huan came after them with their cavalry.
"What a lingering ghost!" Gao Shun cursed secretly, and immediately ordered the soldiers to go up the mountain, leaving some archers to snipe while shooting arrows.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The arrows were like rain, extremely dense, and they shot through a small group of Wei army's cavalry in one fell swoop.
In troubled times and roads were difficult to navigate, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others also realized Gao Shun's intention, which was to let the infantry take advantage and make the cavalry a disadvantage.
"The military advisor is right. Gao Shun is indeed a dangerous person. Although he is already at a disadvantage, he can clearly recognize the changes on the battlefield. I am far behind in this wisdom alone." Dian Wei looked at it and admired.
.
Xu Chu said: "What the hell, rush up and kill Gao Shun. Besides, those are new recruits. What are you afraid of? Come with me and rush forward. It's the same when you rush up and dismount. We are all the strongest, rush!"
Han Hao and Shi Huan said: "General Xu's words are reasonable. Let's all charge together. The Jin army has reached the end of its war effort."
Seeing that Xu Chu's casual words had boosted the morale of the soldiers, Dian Wei immediately shouted: "Dismount the entire army and advance on foot. Kill those who obey the rules and reward them with a hundred gold!"
After giving the order, the officers and soldiers of the Wei army were immediately energized. They dismounted one after another, braved the arrows and rushed upward, using the cover of the rocks to rush forward slowly.
Gao Shun commanded the soldiers to retreat while fighting, but as soon as the soldiers saw the Wei soldiers approaching, they were at a loss. In the panic, they couldn't shoot their arrows.
"Push the stone and hit it!" Gao Shun picked up a big stone and threw it down the hillside. The big stone hit a Wei soldier's head directly, and his brain immediately burst open and blood splattered everywhere.
After seeing this, the Jin soldiers also abandoned their bows and arrows and began to hit him with stones.
"Boom!"
The sound of boulders rolling down the mountain made Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Han Hao, Shi Huan and others feel helpless. They could not attack the mountain at all and were forced to retreat.
Later, the Wei soldiers tried three times in a row, but without any success.
It was almost noon, and both groups of soldiers were tired and hungry, so they sat up and down the hillside to rest.
"Kill--"
As soon as Gao Shung sat down and took a breath, he suddenly heard shouts of killing coming from behind. The leaders were Li Dian and Le Jin. He was afraid of being surrounded, so he immediately led his soldiers along the ridge and ran deep into the mountain.
Those who were slow were either surrounded or killed. Some fled in all directions, and some accidentally rolled down the hillside and hit their heads on the rocks, bleeding profusely.
Gao Shun led more than a hundred of his personal followers and more than 2,000 infantrymen and ran quickly along the mountain ridge. However, the soldiers behind him were blocked by the Wei army. At this time, those soldiers surrendered one after another.
Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Han Hao, Shi Huan, Li Dian, and Le Jin gathered together. When they saw Gao Shun running away, they all looked angry.
Accompanied by Li Tong, Xu Shu came to the front of the six people and said with a smile: "If we can severely injure Gao Shun and fail to catch him in time, he will not cause any more trouble. Quickly clean up the battlefield and everyone retreats together."
