After Xiahoudun finished checking the soldiers and horses, he knew that there was Liu Biao in the east and Liu Biao in the east, and the north was blocked, and only the west was feasible, not to mention that he didn't say much, so he picked up the military horses and looked at the west and left.

Halfway through, Xiahoudun said to Han Hao: "You said that you fought with Zhang Xian before, but then you know where he went?"

Han Hao shook his head: "At that time, there were fires on all sides, and I didn't know the direction at all, this one must be nearby, we have to be more vigilant!"

While talking, the army arrived at a fork in the road, Xiahoudun ordered the guide to explore the way, and after a while, the guide officer reported: "Return to the general, here is not far to the north, is Xinye City, but the villain just saw many miscellaneous hoof prints on the official road, I'm afraid there has been a Jingzhou army over!"

Xiahoudun frowned: "Liu Biao is really extraordinary, there is actually a team of men and horses here, let's speed up the march and see who is so capable!"

The army marched for about two hours, and saw a force of more than 10,000 men and horses under the banner of the Jingzhou army, which was surrounding Xinye City and attacking on all sides, and there were only more than 1,000 people guarding Xinye, and the city wall was dilapidated and in disrepair, and could only barely resist the opponent's attack, and it was a matter of time before it was breached.

Han Hao pointed in the direction of the city tower and said to Xiahoudun: "General, look at that banner, it seems to be General Qin Qi himself, the Jingzhou army attacking is under the banner of Cai, it is likely to be Cousin Liu's brother-in-law Cai Mao!"

"It doesn't matter who he is, if he is met by me, he can't miss it!" Xiahoudun pulled out his unicorn teeth, turned back to the Qingzhou soldiers and said, "Give me a shout in unison, wait for the grain and grass to be burned by our army, and don't surrender quickly!"

After saying that, Xiahoudun took the lead and rushed forward.

"The grain and grass have been burned by our army, why don't you surrender quickly?" thousands of Qingzhou soldiers shouted in unison, following Xiahoudun and joining the battlefield.

Han Hao and Shi Jian also led a cavalry, one left and one right, for Xiahou to sweep the formation, and the three men and horses shouted earth-shattering, like a sharp sword out of the sheath, killing the Jingzhou army besieging the city.

It was Cai Mao who attacked the city, and his men and horses saw the Qingzhou soldiers appear behind him like gods, and their fighting spirit dropped by more than half, but they must not allow the slightest moment of hesitation on the battlefield, and the Jingzhou army besieging the south gate of Anzhong bore the brunt, and immediately ordered a thousand shield soldiers to erect a big shield, and ordered five hundred crossbowmen to guard behind the shield soldiers.

Cai Mao saw that there was an opportunity, and expected that the men and horses in the city would not dare to attack, as long as the people and horses in the city did not meet with the Qingzhou soldiers in front of him, he would have the opportunity to break through, and immediately ordered the siege troops at the north gate to be divided into two parts, and the siege troops of the east and west gates would meet, and gallop to the south gate attack team from the left and right.

But he forgot that he was facing the famous Qingzhou soldiers.

Before the siege troops of the east and west roads arrived, Han Hao and Shi Jian had already led their own cavalry to block it on the narrow path, although there were fewer enemies, but as the so-called one man was the key to ten thousand people, the few nearly 100 tiger and leopard cavalry in the two cavalry at this time not only became the mainstay to prevent the merger of the enemy army, but also became the nightmare of the enemy.

The prestige of the Qingzhou soldiers was already enough to make them tremble, and the appearance of the tiger and leopard riders, who were unique in ten thousand, directly made their fighting spirit disappear.

In this way, although Xiahoudun's men and horses are only less than half of Cai Mao's, due to the cooperation of Han Hao and Shi Lian, now the south gate has directly become three thousand Qingzhou soldiers against two thousand Jingzhou troops, and the overall strength weakness has become a local military advantage, and Cai Mao himself is at the south gate!

"With one enemy and ten still not afraid, why worry about the two thousand miscellaneous soldiers in front of you?" Xiahoudun shouted, raised his knife and pulled down the dense arrows like rain, and the Qingzhou soldiers behind him struggled to break into the enemy formation, wielding the knife to kill, and killing the South Gate attack troops on their backs for a while.

Qin Qi in the city saw it, and immediately ordered the south gate to be opened, waved his army to attack, and attacked Cai Mao in two phases.

The situation changed too quickly, Cai Mao didn't have time to react, most of the people around him were already dead and injured, and he said angrily: "You all eat dry food? You didn't kill many people, but you were all killed and injured!"

It's a pity that at this moment, no one heard his angry shouts at all, the Jingzhou army at the south gate only took a quarter of an hour, and the dead and wounded fled and fled, leaving only Cai Mao, who was at a loss, and hundreds of soldiers around him.

"Damn!" Cai Mao saw Xiahoudun leading three thousand Qingzhou soldiers in the south to get closer and closer, and his heart was terrified, only to know that the prestige of Xiahoudun Cao's first fierce general Qingzhou soldiers in the world was not empty words.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, he had to grit his teeth and say to the soldiers around him: "Although defeated here, there are still 8,000 fresh troops on the east and west roads, only because they were blocked by Xiahoudun's deputy general and could not come to help.

"No! swear to follow the general!" Seeing that the main general was not disrupted by frustration at this time, all the relatives and soldiers couldn't help but have a fighting spirit to the sky again, shouted together, and killed Qin Qi with Cai Mao.

"General, it's not good, the enemy general is coming here, it seems that he is fighting to the death with us!" Qin Qi's deputy general saw Cai Mao sacrifice his life and lost his mind for a while.

"What are you afraid of, I, Qin Qi, are about to meet this Cai Datou for a while!" Qin Qi was not frightened, holding a gun in his hand, leading the army forward, and shouted to Cai Mao: "Where will the thief go?"

Cai Mao sneered, and stepped forward with a knife: "Boy, I went out of the city to fight earlier, why bother to bother with all this time? I killed many of my horses in vain, even if I broke your body into ten thousand pieces, I won't get rid of my hatred!"

Qin Qi didn't answer, he took Cai Mao with a gun, and when he arrived in front of him, he gathered a thousand strengths, and he was determined to win.

Cai Mao didn't plan to dodge, holding the knife in his backhand, the blade of the knife against the tip of the gun, sacrificing his life to make a blow, only to hear the sound of knives and guns, sparks were everywhere, and the two of them were forced to retreat a few feet.

Qin Qi's poisonous wounds had not healed, and his strength was finally a little weaker, but he didn't care, put the gun in his hand, and still attacked Cai Mao again.

With just one blow, Cai Mao expected that Qin Qi's strength was no more than that, and the long knife in his hand was even more like a tiger, waiting for him.

"Drink!" The knives and guns intersected again, Cai Mao had already seen that Qin Qi's strength was a little weaker, and immediately smiled: "If you are not my opponent, you will take your own humiliation!"

Xiahoudun also saw the two people in the hand, and was anxious to come to help, but Cai Mao's remnants of the defeated generals also seemed to know Xiahoudun's intentions, and they all sacrificed their lives to stop them, Xiahoudun killed the enemy while shouting at Qin Qi: "Quickly return to the city, you are not Cai Mao's opponent, leave him and I will deal with it!"

"Thank you for the kindness of the general, but if I am greedy, I will only get away with this guy!" After Qin Qi finished speaking, he could dodge Cai Mao's attack, and before he could make a move, Cai Mao suddenly hit him again, Qin Qi didn't expect this, and hurriedly raised his gun to block, only to hear a click, and the body of the gun was split in half by Cai Mao!

"I can't do it, your life is now in my hands!" Cai Mao attacked again, and the long knife went straight to Qin Qi's heart.

Qin Qi knew that he was going to die, and shouted: "My life is mine! I don't want to die, who can kill me?"

Although the spear is broken, it is still longer than the knife, Cai Mao is not a fool, he is slightly on the side of the horse's hand, and he also narrowly avoided Qin Qi's life-sacrificing blow, the long knife was horizontal, separating Qin Qi's weapon, but he didn't stop, and directly slammed into Qin Qi's chest with his shoulder, directly knocking him under the horse.

Qin Qi didn't expect Cai Mao to deal with it like this, and when he reacted, he was already under Cai Mao's horse, and Qin Qi's subordinates saw that the lord was on the front line, and they couldn't help but hang their hearts in their throats one by one.

Cai Mao sneered: "Now you still have to say something unashamedly, is your life on you?" Raising his knife and waiting for Qin Qi's life, Xiahoudun had already killed Cai Mao's own soldiers who were blocking him, and rushed over on horseback, shouting in his mouth: "If you dare to kill him, teach you not to live for the next quarter of an hour!"

Cai Mao knew Xiahoudun's strength, and didn't dare to slack off, so he sneered at Qin Qi: "Count you good luck today, I'll kill you another day!" After that, he took back his weapon, fought hard with his own soldiers to kill Qin Qi's soldiers, and rushed into the city.

"Thank you General for saving your life!" Qin Qi picked up his life, and struggled to get up and say to Xiahou.

"You go and rest, just leave the rest to me!" Xiahoudun looked at the hastily closed south gate, and did not forget to turn back to Qin Qi and said, "Don't blame yourself, I can see that you are injured, you are already very good!"

Qin Qi was inexplicably moved for a moment: "General Xie, with your words, even if it is worth ten thousand deaths!"

"Cai Mao will definitely enter the city and open the east and west gates to let his men and horses enter the city to change the attack and defense!" Xiahoudun said lightly, "We can't let his treacherous plan succeed, let's rush!"

"Rush!"

The night was as cool as water, the moon was hidden and the wind was fishy, and the battlefield that had been noisy for a day finally quieted down temporarily, and the wind was hunting, blowing through the dust on the face and carrying the endless smell of blood, which made people smell disgusting.

Now Xinye City has changed a situation again, Cai Mao led the remaining 8,000 men and horses to stick to the city, Xiahoudun led less than 5,000 Qingzhou soldiers to trap Cai Mao, and obviously Qin Qi had used up all the defenses in the city when he defended the city before, so the current situation is a little embarrassing.

For Cai Mao, first, the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou army is not as good as that of the Qingzhou soldiers, although there is an advantage in troops, but the current situation can only be carried out in front of the narrow city gate and on the path, so it is obvious that attacking the enemy with his own shortcomings is tantamount to suicide.

The second is that he does not carry much grain and grass, and now it is hopeless to break through from the east, west and south gates, in order to avoid the army from collapsing without a fight, he can only lead the army to break through from the north gate, and I don't know if there is an enemy ambush outside the north gate.

The third word is to stick to the battle and wait for other friendly troops to come to the rescue, but this possibility is even more slim than the hope of breaking through from the north gate, because Liu Biao strictly ordered the generals not to be greedy for merit when he sent out the troops, and he would report back in time as soon as there was a situation, but Cai Mao didn't care, relying on his own large number of people, and he really eliminated several outposts planted by Xiahoudun along the way, which was even more unscrupulous, but now there are many people trapped in the city, which he never imagined.

For Xiahoudun, not having food and grass to continue is also a big problem, Cai Mao did not dare to go out of the city to fight him, and at the same time he did not have the advantage to attack the city, so he could only stalemate like this, at least he knew that Cai Mao had been isolated in Xinye now.

Thinking of this, Xiahoudun immediately ordered the soldiers to spread the news to the city that they would unite with the friendly forces at the north gate to attack the city, so as to bluff Cai Mao in the city for the time being, otherwise if Cai Mao really saw through his plan to break through the north gate, he could only cry out in vain.
