The saying of taking a general's head in the midst of thousands of troops is a bit exaggerated, but it is not impossible.

To achieve this harsh condition, there is one most important factor, and that is chaos. Only when the scene is chaotic enough can the conditions be provided for a sudden attack on the enemy leader.

If the enemy is a complete army, even if Xiang Yu is resurrected and the overlord comes to the world, wanting to charge in and kill the enemy general is like lighting a lamp in a cesspool - seeking death.

Now that the two armies have been fighting for a long time, the conditions for chaos have been met.

Zhang He keenly discovered Liu Yu's position and rushed over at the right time.

The distance is very short, only two hundred steps. For a galloping warhorse, a distance of two hundred steps can be reached in a very short time.

Although Emperor Liu Huangshu does not know martial arts, as long as you can get close to him, you can kill him with just a light blow of the sword.

One hundred steps, fifty steps, thirty steps. Zhang He had followed Yuan Shao in his battles and his heart was as firm as a rock. Who knew that he felt inexplicably nervous at this moment?

This kind of tension is very strange and hard to explain.

Perhaps it was because he could turn the war around immediately.

Or maybe the other party was the uncle of the Han emperor, which made him feel awe.

He tried hard to adjust his mentality and prepare for the final sprint.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Liu Yu.

"Xu Chu is here, who dares to come and die?"

Zhang He didn't expect that there was such a person beside Liu Yu, and he subconsciously pulled his warhorse.

The cavalrymen around him were not as cautious as Zhang He. He quickly passed by and rushed towards Xu Chu.

Xu Chu swung the long sword in his hand and chopped the man and the horse in half with one blow.

"Anyone who comes within ten steps will die!"

Xu Chu's face was covered in blood, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he appeared in front of everyone like a god.

No one had expected Xu Chu to be so brave, and they didn't know what to do for a moment.

Zhang He calmed down and immediately gave orders.

"Rush forward together and surround him."

Zhang He is worthy of being one of the four pillars of Hebei, and this command is the best solution at present.

The purpose of their trip was to kill Liu Bei. No matter how brave Xu Chu was, as long as they surrounded Xu Chu for a short time and gave him some time, they could accomplish their mission.

The cavalry received the order and rushed forward, trying to climb the high slope to surround Xu Chu.

But Xu Chu's swordsmanship was sharp and powerful, and unstoppable. As long as someone came to the high slope, he would kill him with one move.

Zhang He had not expected Xu Chu to be so brave. At this moment, he was sure that the emotion that suddenly surged in his heart was alertness.

He looked back at Zhao Yun who was chasing him, and knew that his plan was becoming difficult to achieve.

He looked at his soldiers who were constantly being defeated and decisively led his troops to retreat.

Liu Yu had been standing on the high slope, seemingly calm and indifferent, but in fact his back was already soaked. He had not expected that Zhang He's vision was so unique that he could tell where he was at a glance.

Seeing Zhang He's approaching warhorse, Liu Yu's first thought was to escape. He quickly looked around and found that the battlefield was in great chaos and he had no way to go.

On the high slope, Xu Chu was still behind him and could block the enemy's attack for him.

Once he left this place and mixed into the chaos of battle, an ordinary soldier would be able to kill him on the horse, and then he would lose more than he gained.

There was no way out, he could only stand there and pretend to remain calm.

Things turned out just as Liu Yu had expected. Xu Chu was too brave. He alone made Gaopo impregnable.

Seeing everyone leaving, Liu Yu turned around, wiped the blood off Xu Chu's face with his sleeve, and said with some emotion: "Zhong Kang is extremely brave, he is my Fan Kuai!"

Liu Yu walked slowly down the slope and headed towards the central military tent.

Xu Chu held his sword tightly and followed behind him. Everyone was shocked by Xu Chu's bravery just now, and no one dared to look directly at Xu Chu's figure.

……

……

When the news of Zhang He's defeat was passed back to Yuan Shao's camp, Yuan Shao's face turned pale.

He drew out his long knife and slashed it hard on the table. The table was immediately split into two pieces.

"My army is several times larger than the enemy's, yet we cannot win. Is it God's will that we perish?"

After saying this, Yuan Shao spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly sent someone to call a military doctor.

After a long time, Yuan Shao woke up slowly.

Guo Tu was the first to come to Yuan Shao and advised: "My lord, although we lost this battle, our foundation is still there. You don't have to worry. You just need to return to Yecheng and regroup. We will surely win this battle."

Ju Su also spoke up and said, "My lord, this makes sense. The most urgent thing is to take care of your health."

Yuan Shao calmed down and looked at Ju Su and said, "Gonglu, I didn't listen to your advice, which led to today's defeat. Now I regret it."

When Ju Su heard this, he was moved. He subconsciously thought that the wise and powerful Yuan Shao had returned.

As long as he can come back, this defeat will not be completely meaningless.

Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Guo Tu was shocked. The regret towards Ju Su in Yuan Shao's words was implicitly a condemnation of his own strategy.

At this time, he was very afraid that Yuan Shao would blame him for the defeat. If that happened, he would not only lose the power he had just gained, but might also be imprisoned by Yuan Shao.

Thinking of this, Guo Tu's eyes rolled rapidly.

He instantly came up with an idea. If he wanted to exonerate himself, he had to muddy the waters as quickly as possible. Only in this way could he divert Yuan Shao's attention.

"My lord, my defeat this time was very strange. We outnumbered the enemy several times and had always been in control, but in the end we were defeated inexplicably.

I heard something that makes people even more suspicious. Liu Huangshu was standing alone on a high slope. Zhang He led the cavalry to attack in front of him, but suddenly reined in his horses and stopped the attack, which eventually allowed Liu Huangshu to escape.

My Lord, think about it, if we can kill Uncle Liu in this battle, wouldn’t it be a great victory?”

Yuan Shao was a little surprised, raised his head and asked: "Is there such a thing?"

Guo Tu felt relieved when he saw Yuan Shao answering. He paused for a moment and continued, "It's more than that. Facing this great defeat, Zhang He not only showed no worry, but also showed joy. So I suspect that he didn't try his best in attacking Liu Huangshu's camp this time."

Yuan Shao was almost fainting again because he couldn't catch his breath. After a while, he said angrily, "Zhang He is so bold. It's really abominable. Gongze, you should go and check it out immediately. If it is true, arrest him immediately. Don't make any mistakes."

Ju Su had just felt a little hope in his heart, but it was slowly sinking.

A few people were just discussing returning to Yecheng, but in the blink of an eye, they were going to check on Zhang He.

He hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and advised: "My lord, what Gongze said is all hearsay, there is no real evidence, don't take it seriously. Zhang He has followed my lord for a long time and has made many military achievements. He will never have any other intentions."
