Chapter 662 Cao Cao: Liu Xuande, Are You Okay?

At the foot of Dingjun Mountain, in the southern camp of the Wei army, thin flames have risen from the outer antlers.

And in the black smoke...

"Kill——"

"Charge——"

"Put out the fire——"

Five thousand Wei soldiers rushed out, and Xiahou Yuan was the first to rush in front.

As recorded in "Yun Bie Chuan", Xiahou Yuan was a frugal person. He would definitely not want to give up those antlers, so he decisively went out of the camp to meet the enemy and rescue the antlers.

This is why "Yun Bie Chuan" summarizes this "speedy" Xiahou as "white land general", white land... To put it bluntly, it means giving it away for free, giving it away for free!

Yan Yan, who was originally setting fire, saw Xiahou Yuan leaving the camp and waved his hand.

Immediately, the messenger raised the flag, and the Shu army, which was originally setting fires everywhere, stopped their actions and formed a battle formation.

"Is this Wei general Xiahou Yuan?"

Yan Yan held a broadsword in his hand, his long white beard fluttering in the wind, giving off a sense of "old but still strong".

Xiahou Yuan did not retreat at all, and pointed his sword at Yan Yan:

--"Are there no more Shu generals? You actually sent an old man to set fire, hahahaha, what is your deep hatred for that big-eared thief? That's why he sent you here to die? Ah, hahahaha..."

From the bottom of his heart, Xiahou Yuan looked down on old generals like Yan Yan.

The words were full of contempt and ridicule.

"When I was powerful in Shuchuan, you, Xiahou, didn't know which woman was sucking your milk--"

Yan Yan roared...

Xiahou Yuan was furious, waving his flag, "Kill--"

"Boom boom boom--"

For a while, the drums shook the sky--

"Woo woo woo--"

The attack horns sounded at the same time.

Xiahou Yuan's cavalrymen rushed towards the Shu army with a roar, but behind the countless shields beside Yan Yan, several rows of spearmen suddenly appeared. These spearmen were all wearing iron armor, with two white ribbons hanging on both sides of their helmets. The size of the spears in their hands was also unusual, about 18 feet long, and the spear head was more than a foot long, dazzling and dazzling. At a glance, you can tell... they are forged from the best iron.

"Is it the Baihua soldiers?" Xiahou Yuan muttered to himself...

As the commander-in-chief of Cao Wei on the western front, he couldn't be unaware that Liu Bei's men specially trained such a Baihua personal soldier.

In addition to absorbing the strongest Qiang and Di people, these Baihua soldiers are mostly veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. They are a type of army that is not inferior to the famous Tiger and Leopard Cavalry of the Wei Dynasty in the past.

Face them, ordinary cavalry... can't take any advantage.

What surprised Xiahou Yuan the most was that Liu Bei was willing to send this Baihao soldier to carry out this arson operation.

——『Sure enough...』

Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

The cavalry rushed in an instant, but the Baihao elite soldiers had already formed a five-layer line array. Facing the whistling cavalry charge, they had no intention of retreating. When they were still five steps away, the long spears stabbed out in layers, like blooming fireworks, stabbing the enemies in front of the formation, including people and horses.

Hundreds of cavalry, no one rushed into the formation.

"Sure enough..." Xiahou Yuan's throat rolled, his face gloomy, staring at the place where people and horses fell.

——『Big brother's guess and prediction are all right. The target of these Shu thieves has been me from the beginning! What a good trick to capture the thief and the king. 』

As this thought emerged, Xiahou Yuan's back was covered with cold sweat... He was already scared.

He couldn't help but daydream...

-- 'If it weren't for Ma Su telling the "Yun Bie Chuan", if it weren't for my elder brother rushing over at night, if I, Xiahou Yuan, was unprepared and charged forward in the current situation, I'm afraid I would really be buried here today! '

Just then...

"Boom boom boom"

The Thunderbolt Eight Oxen Crossbow shot out huge crossbow arrows and boulders, which smashed into the camp of the Wei army.

However, this was not the most terrifying thing. Along with the rumbling sound of the boulders and crossbows, the blood-red spears of the Baihua elite soldiers were erected at the first time, and the Shu army, wearing red uniforms symbolizing the "fire virtue" of the Han Dynasty, appeared on the ridge line, like dense fire ants...

Overwhelming!

This... This...

Xiahou Yuan made a hasty calculation, and this scale of battle, I'm afraid there must be a Shu army of 100,000.

Dong Dong Dong——

The drums sounded, and nearly 100,000 Shu soldiers on the entire ridge line roared in unison.

"General Xiahou Yuan of Baidi, die--"

"General Xiahou Yuan of Baidi, die--"

"General Xiahou Yuan of Baidi, die--"

The overwhelming voices and the echoes in the valleys made even the mountains here shake.

And all this made Xiahou Yuan dumbfounded...

...

"General Huang, it's time for you to make achievements--"

Looking at the scorching battlefield below the mountain, Fa Zheng, who was halfway up the mountain, looked at Huang Zhong.

"Haha..." At this moment, Huang Zhong was already riding on a horse, and the big knife in his hand was shining with a cold light... "The old man has already been like an arrow on the string, and it is imperative--"

As this voice fell...

"Brothers, follow me to kill--"

Accompanying Huang Zhong's roar was the thundering drum sound between the ridges.

"Dong Dong Dong--"

"Dong Dong Dong--"

For a moment, the drum sounded like thunder, the sound waves shook the sky, and the overwhelming Shu army crossed the ridge line and rushed down.

On the other hand, Xiahou Yuan…

The deputy general beside him was shouting something anxiously. Xiahou Yuan glanced at him, then turned his head away woodenly, looking at the Shu army that was rushing in like a tide.

The deputy general roared and led the soldiers to meet them.

However, Xia Houyuan tightened his reins and did not follow. He looked at the battle situation coldly, but what he was thinking about was the plan made by King Cao Cao.

"Haha..." Xia Houyuan smiled slightly, "Big-eared thief, you are still young..."

Having said this, he waved his hand and said, "Come forward..."

However, he saw that all the Wei soldiers beside him were stepping forward. Of course, at this time, no one would notice that Xia Houyuan, who always charged forward and took the lead, was reining in his horse and retreating.

Very slow, very slow retreat.

It's like...he predicted something and was planning something.

And the battlefield at this moment...

The Shu army was condescending and rushed down, tearing apart the Wei army in front of them like the sharpest blade, and then divided it in a roundabout way, encircling the Wei army... The red military uniforms of the Shu army, the splendid Han Dynasty's fierce virtue The color, like clumps of strong fire, crazily devoured the Wei army in blue uniforms.

"Well done, well done..."

This was Xia Houyuan's last sigh, a feeling of great joy, but also of great fear.

Then he disappeared from the battlefield. It seemed that... a long time passed, and it seemed that only a moment passed. "Xia Houyuan" appeared immediately with his sword raised, but... the sound of fighting on the battlefield had disappeared and fell into deathly silence.

The condescending charge of nearly 100,000 Shu troops was clearly not something that a mere 5,000 Wei troops could withstand.

"Xia Houyuan" opened his eyes. There were only a few personal guards left around him. The battlefield in front was full of corpses. The Shu army visible to the naked eye was advancing in an orderly manner.

At this time, he did not show any signs of retreating, and looked coldly at the slowly approaching Shu army.

Huang Zhong was already riding in front of the formation. He raised his whip, pointed at Xia Houyuan and shouted: "He is the general Xia Houyuan who rebelled against the Wei Dynasty? What can he say when death is imminent?"

"Xia Houyuan" said in a deep voice: "It's not certain who will die and who will live -"

Huang Zhong had seen Xia Houyuan's portrait, which was the same as the person in front of him, but he had never heard his voice. He was surprised. He was a man in his fifties at the age of knowing his fate? How come the voice is so crisp? Like those young people in their twenties and thirties?

Of course, at this time, Huang Zhong couldn't care so much.

He raised his sword, "Xiahou traitor, do you dare to fight me?"

"Hmph..." Xia Houyuan shouted angrily and rushed out on horseback. Although defeat was a foregone conclusion, if he could kill the thieves at this time and the morale of the soldiers was high, they might not be able to turn the tide!

With this in mind... "Xia Houyuan" leaned down, hiding the weapon behind his side, staring at Huang Zhong who was approaching on horseback.

Seeing that... there were only a few steps left, suddenly... his right ribs felt cold, and his whole arm was extremely sore. When he lowered his head... he saw that a spear was immersed in his right ribs.

--"This is? 』

——‘Have you been plotted against? 』

"Xia Houyuan" recognized this personal guard. He was undoubtedly Wei Jun, but why...

Could it be that he has been bribed by the enemy in advance?

"You... I'll kill you... a beast of a seller looking for glory..."

"Xia Houyuan" was furious, and thrust out the iron spear in his right hand. Who would have thought that... the personal guard remained motionless, as if he had something to rely on.

In other words, he calculated correctly that Xia Houyuan's gun was not as fast as Huang Zhong's sword.

"I'm not a beast who sells out his favors for glory, but, haha, if General Xiahou doesn't die? Then how can the military power of the Wei Dynasty be taken away from the clan?"

Before he finished speaking, Xia Houyuan's iron spear almost hit the guard and almost passed through the guard's chest.

But...suddenly, the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded in his ears, and Huang Zhong was already fighting in front of him.

Xia Houyuan could only raise his spear...to block!

But in the end it was a step too slow.

The big knife in Huang Zhong's hand pulled out a sword in the air, and the blade suddenly swung away the tip of Xia Houyuan's spear, whizzing along the left side of his neck...

Xia Houyuan felt a chill on his neck, his eyes were spinning, and then...then he was quickly swallowed up by darkness!

But the moment he fell, the soldier was thankful...

——"The era of Wei Dynasty belonging to the clan is over!" 』

Yes, Cao Chun, Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan...

These famous generals of the older generation perished, Cao Hong was captured, and Xiahou Dun went blind? So...will Wei then compete with Han and Shu for hegemony at this time? Who can you rely on?

hehe…

The soldier was smiling. Obviously, he thought that... his master... no, not his master, but their "organization" assigned this task, and he completed it extremely well.

Variable accidents often happen in an instant.

When "Xia Houyuan" turned over and dismounted, the hair on his forehead fell down, his hair spread out, and the mask on his cheeks also fell off. The soldier couldn't help but be shocked.

He thought to himself:

——"He...he is not Xia Houyuan!" 』

--"That? 』

——"What about the Xiahouyuan people?" 』

…

…

——Great victory, great victory!

When the text about Huang Zhongzhan killing Xia Houyuan in "Yunbie Zhuan" became a reality, and was vividly presented through the pictures before his eyes.

Liu Bei and Fazheng were very excited.

"Xia Houyuan is dead...taking away Hanzhong General is like picking something out of a bag..."

Fazheng said to Liu Bei excitedly.

Liu Bei nodded, excited, but the whole plan made him think of Guan Lin's name all the time, "If you can capture Hanzhong, you can attack Wei from the north of Hanzhong, you can make the Han Dynasty rekindle the Three Stars" hope, thanks to Yun Qi..."

It seems that both Liu Bei and Fazheng already feel stable.

In fact, judging from the situation, I have the advantage... This is already a very stable situation.

As the commander of the Baihu Army, Chen Dao pointed to the battlefield and said: "My lord, the Baihu Army has withdrawn. General Huang Zhong and General Yan Yan have led the Shu Army to rush into the Wei Army's South Village. Capture this stronghold and attack it. We can retreat and defend. It won't be long before the news that Xiahou Pifu was killed reaches Dongzhai, and the three generals, General Zilong, and General Meng Qi will also win a big victory!"

"Yeah…"

Liu Bei suppressed the excitement in his heart as much as possible.

Happy…

This was his first victory over Cao Cao, how could he be unhappy?

"Xiaozhi and Shuzhi (Chen Dao), it's almost time. We also rushed down the mountain to Nanzhai. Although it is too early to discuss merits and rewards,... Hanzhong is close at hand, and seizing is like picking out objects from a bag. It is also time to let the soldiers We are all a little happier..."

"Yes..." Fazheng nodded, "My lord still wants to go..."

Immediately, Bai Huan soldiers brought Liu Bei's horse. Liu Bei got on his horse, not forgetting to wait for Fazheng to also ride on the horse, and the two of them hurried down the mountain road together.

Changes can happen in an instant...

boom--

Rumble——

Just when Huang Zhong led the Shu army to clear the battlefield and occupy the Wei army's Nanzhai, suddenly... flames soared into the sky from the Nanzhai.

This sudden change... shocked everyone.

Liu Bei was riding on the horse, his eyes widened involuntarily, and his big ears that caught the wind were trembling subconsciously, as if he had some premonition.

really…

"boom--"

"Rumble--"

There were more and more flames, igniting almost the entire Nanzhai. Those Shu troops who had not yet entered the stronghold were lucky, but those who had already entered were completely blocked by the flames... and were all trapped in it.

"water--"

"Don't there be water tanks in this large army camp?"

"No, why is there no water in this water tank..."

“There’s no water in the water tank here either…”

At the moment when this accident happened...

"General..." Next to Huang Zhong, a soldier was shocked to find something when he inspected Xia Houyuan's head.

This soldier was originally from the Wei army. He had previously surrendered to the Shu army and was taken by Huang Zhong as his guide.

Of course, that's not the point.

The point is that the generals in the Shu army knew Xia Houyuan from his portrait, but he...had seen him in person.

Because of this, he was keenly aware that...there was something strange about Xia Houyuan!

"It was not Xia Houyuan who was killed by the general formation, but...but..."

With this voice.

"boom…"

The flames in Nanzhai soared into the sky again.

Followed closely.

"Pull the string full, fire arrow, shoot, shoot -"

A clear voice shouted loudly from the end of Wei Jun's South Village.

At this moment... around the Nanzhai, a large group of Wei troops surged out. There were more than a thousand, no... more than ten thousand, tens of thousands of people.

These Wei troops were extremely secretive in disguise, their heads and bodies covered with all kinds of grass and leaves. Before... no matter how rotten the battle situation here was, they did not show up.

But now...

"Oops--"

Huang Zhong groaned in a low voice...

After decades of military service, he realized the current situation in just an instant.

Fraud——

Wei Jun is cheating!

Their purpose was to introduce the 100,000 Shu troops into the South Village.

In fact, the purpose of the Wei army was indeed to lead the Shu army into the Nanzhai, but it was not just the Nanzhai... As long as all the Shu troops were led down the mountain, the goal would have been achieved.

"Report...general..."

A scout quickly came to report, "The general is in trouble, our army's retreat has been cut off..."

"Report to the general, it's not good, there are Wei troops everywhere..."

"Report...general, the brothers who entered Nanzhai...were blocked by fire and could not retreat..."

It was only then that Huang Zhong realized that his guess was correct. They... they had all fallen into an ambush.

"Pass my military order, form your formation...form your formation to meet the enemy..."

Huang Zhong gave the order immediately.

But at this moment...

"Hahahaha..." a voice came out, but from the flank...a group of Wei army's cavalry came to kill.

The leader is not Xia Houyuan? Who else could it be.

"Hahahahaha——"

Xia Houyuan laughed so wildly, "Huang Zhong, didn't you want to compete with me just now? Come on, come on -"

With the appearance of Xia Houyuan... more and more Wei army cavalry came out. At the foot of Dingjun Mountain in the east, the red Shu army was instantly surrounded by the Wei army in yellow and blue uniforms.

This encirclement is shrinking rapidly.

"General, what should we do?"

The deputy general quickly asked Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong gritted his teeth and pondered for a moment, then he said fiercely: "Break through, break out... find a way to return to Dingjun Mountain..."

This is what he ordered...

But...it's too late.

"Kill..."

"Those who can kill Huang Zhong will be rewarded with tens of thousands of gold and be granted the title of Marquis of Thousands of Households——"

"kill--"

For a time, countless Wei troops rushed towards Huang Zhong like a tide, and the sound shook the heaven and the earth and resounded through the sky——

…

…

"how come?"

Liu Bei, who was halfway up the mountain, watched helplessly as the crowd of people swarmed over a large area, and more than 100,000 Wei troops quickly surrounded the place.

Because they occupied the terrain and were ambushed in advance, countless fire arrows were shot at the south village, and countless cavalry and infantry surrounded Huang Zhong and the Shu army that rushed down.

The Shu army, which was originally in a high position, was now at the bottom, allowing the Wei army to attack from a high position.

Fa Zheng was also confused.

He looked at the number of Wei troops in front of him with great horror, and he groaned in surprise: "It shouldn't be, Hanzhong... Wei army is only 100,000 people, most of them have been transferred to the East Camp, this... this South Camp? Where can I find 100,000 people?"

Yes...

In order to ensure that the Wei army had no reinforcements, Fa Zheng specially deployed countless spies in Hanzhong, Qinling Mountain Road, Yangping Pass, and Chencang Road.

It was to prevent... because of intelligence, leading to failure.

But now...

Who knows where this number of Wei troops came from?

This was something that Fa Zheng could not predict no matter what, and it was not recorded in Guan Lin's "Yun Bie Chuan".

"Not good--"

Fa Zheng looked at the battlefield... Obviously, because of the sudden attack of the Wei army and the fire in the men's camp, the 100,000 Shu army was separated. Under the arrows, they were already panicking, and the originally high morale was losing.

"Xiaozhi? The Qinling Mountain Road? Hanzhong, didn't you have countless spies? Didn't you find the reinforcements of the Wei army?" Liu Bei also came back to his senses and asked Fa Zheng immediately.

Fa Zheng didn't know how to explain, so he could only shake his head instinctively.

But at this moment.

"Liu Xuande--"

A voice came from the opposite hillside, which was the shouting of many soldiers, as if they were conveying a message for their lord.

And it was Cao Cao who shouted Liu Xuande.

"Tell Liu Xuande that I, Cao Cao, asked him if he was okay?"

As Cao Cao said this...

Hundreds of messengers shouted in unison: "The King of Wei asked: Liu Xuande, are you okay? Liu Xuande, are you okay?"

...
