Chapter 111: The Battle of Bowang
Dozens of miles to the north of Wancheng is Bowang City.
Although the city of Bowang City is small and shallow, it is also regarded as a dangerous place because it is close to Yu Mountain in the west and Anlin in the east, during which the terrain is narrow and long, the jungle is dense and thorny.
It's twilight.
In the north of Bowang City, suddenly the horse's hooves shook and the black magpie flew away, only to see the smoke and dust covering the sky and the sun.
Xiahoudun and his eight thousand elite horsemen should have passed Bowang early and went straight to Wancheng.
But in the end, Nai is not forbidden and Li Dian's second general admonished one after another, and the forward iron cavalry must not exceed twenty miles from the army.
"Newspaper... Checkmate! Enemy troop tracks were spotted ahead. ”
A few miles outside Bowang City, several elite horsemen roared over, turned over and dismounted and knelt in front of Xiahoudun.
"Oh! Liu Bei didn't want to defend Wancheng well, but he dared to lead troops to battle. ”
Looking at the scouts below, Xiahoudun showed a little surprise on his face... Then he burst out laughing.
"Have you ever found out who it will be? How many soldiers and horses? ”
"Back to the general's words, the person leading the army in front is the general under Liu Bei, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, and the soldiers and horses he leads are only a thousand people."
The leader of the scouts, who was the leader, lowered his head slightly, and replied in a deep voice.
"A thousand?"
"This Liu Xuande... I really can afford to look at this general!! ”
Xiahoudun's voice is not loud, but he can leave the generals left and right... You can sense the anger rising in the hearts of this general.
Liu Beijun's behavior is no longer as simple as a naked provocation.
"General, Liu Bei has been on the battlefield for a long time after all, and such behavior... There must be fraud, and caution is required. ”
Suddenly, the deputy general Han Hao shook the whip in his hand, took a few steps forward, leaned over and whispered.
Yu Ban and Li Dian were not there, and at this time, no one dared to meet the generals around him when Xiahoudun was in full swing... He had to grit his teeth.
I had already known that I had changed with Xiahoulan, and remembering the scene of the red-faced fight with Xiahoulan a day ago, Han Hao suddenly felt a trace of remorse in his heart.
"There is fraud!"
"Humph! Even if Liu Bei really had any tricks, what could he do? ”
"Wancheng is only 8,000 soldiers and horses! If that big-eared thief stays in Chengwan City honestly, he will defend the city! Ben will also be afraid of him for three points. But out of the city, in the eyes of the general, his 8,000 elites are nothing more than a crumbling dog, and the general's iron horse can be broken at will. ”
Looking at Han Hao's cautious and cautious appearance, Xiahoudun suddenly realized that he had gone too far, his violent temper... Invisibly, it erupted again.
"Don't worry!
The generals listened to the order and led the army to meet Zhao Yun with the generals. ”
calmed down and soothed Han Hao, and Xiahoudun immediately killed Zhao Yunbu.
For Zhao Yun, although Xiahoudun has heard of it, his subconscious cognition is only to defeat the thousands of troops led by Yang Ang in the first battle, and his record... In Xiahoudun's opinion, it is just so-so, since the establishment of the Cao family, that time is not to win more with less, besides... At Yang Ang's level, among the countless generals of the Cao family, at best, it is only a third-rate level, which is not worth mentioning.
……
"It's going to be Xiahoudun!!"
In front of the two armies, Zhao Yun's white horse and silver spear stood in front, and he did not waver in the face of the roaring eight thousand Cao army iron cavalry.
"Ben Jiang will not change his name, sit or change his surname, it is Xiahoudun."
"Zhao Zilong, Ben will have heard of you! Righteousness, life and death go hand in hand, as the remnants of the White Horse's righteous servants, you didn't follow the old master to be buried, I never thought that you would take refuge in Liu Xuande, a hypocrisy and hypocrisy. ”
Soon after Zhao Yun appeared in Wancheng, everything about Zhao Yun... In just a few days, it was clearly presented to Cao Cao's case by the investigation of the secret cabinet.
"Uncle Huang's benevolence and righteousness are incomparable, how can a man like you be free to comment."
Looking at Xiahoudun not far away, Zhao Yun's eyes gradually became cold.
Bai Ma Yi has become a thing of the past, and it is okay for Xiahoudun to insult him, but... You shouldn't talk about Uncle Huang.
In this world, he who can save this sick world... Only the imperial uncle is alone.
"Humph! Zhao Zilong, don't be embarrassed, give you a chance, as long as you are willing to lead the troops to surrender, I will allow you the position of general, otherwise... My army of 100,000 is pouring down, and the only way awaits you is death. ”
"If you want to surrender, you have to outsmart the gun in my hand, but... You alone Xiahoudun don't have this ability..."
With a cold snort, Zhao Yun slapped his horse out, and the spear groaned softly... Directly towards Xiahoudun and killed.
"I heard that you have the true biography of Tong Yuan, the "Gun God", I want to see it today... What exactly is your gun fast... Or the general's knife is fast..."
Looking at the oncoming Zhao Yun, Xiahou looked cold, pulled out the long blade on his waist, and flew out to meet him.
"Kill..."
The two cold lights collided violently with the sound of air tearing, and the aftermath rolled up gusts of air and spread more than ten feet away.
Whether it is Zhao Yun or Xiahou Xuan, they are all rare powerhouses in the late stage of God Refining in the world, although Zhao Yun suppressed his own strength in the middle stage of God Refining because of the reason of luring the enemy, but the strength he showed was also extraordinary.
"Ben underestimated you... It's a pity that people like you follow the wrong master, and Hugh blames him for being ruthless. ”
It was only in an instant that Xiahoudun tested the strength shown by Zhao Yun, which should be at the peak of the middle stage of God Refining, and it was only a line away from his realm.
"The tongue is so fast..."
The spear roared, like a phoenix... More than ten gun shadows were pointed out one after another, and Xiahou Xuan, who was forced for a while, hurriedly defended with a horizontal knife.
"Isn't it trying to get away with it... Try it out for yourself! ”
Zhao Yun's continuous offensive made Xiahou Dun angry in his heart, and the long knife slashed at Zhao Yun's spear... Burst out with a combat power of more than ten points and counterattacked.
"Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong... It's really not a true legend of the gun god! ”
"What kind of virtue can Liu Xuande do! first followed Zhang Xiang, and now he has a fierce general like Zhao Yun. ”
Looking at Zhao Yun, who had fought with Xiahoudun for thirty rounds in a row not far away and had not yet shown defeat, the generals of the Cao army led by Han Hao couldn't help but exclaim.
Really... None of the disciples who stood at the pinnacle of martial arts were good at getting along.
Zhang Xiu, the spear king of the Northland, even if he surrendered to the Cao family, the arrogance that exuded... It's still secretly terrifying.
As for the Sword God disciple in the Dark Pavilion, he is even more cold to the extreme, and he is extremely powerful, more than ten zhang apart... You can still feel the terrifying power contained in that person.
"General Han, in your opinion, who will win between General Xiahou and this Zhao Zilong?"
As one of the only four lieutenant generals in the army, Han Hao's strength may not be good, but his vision is extraordinary, and he is deeply respected by the generals.
"Judging from the current situation, this victory is unpredictable, but... General Xiahou must go through the battle formation, and his experience should be much stronger than Zhao Yun, and this final victory or defeat... It was General Xiahou who won the battle. ”
As if in response to Han Hao's judgment, when the battle reached the ninety rounds, Zhao Yun showed his declining momentum, pulled his horse and returned after forcing Xiahoudun back, leading more than a thousand soldiers to flee south.
"The whole army pursues... Don't go Zhao Yun!! ”
Looking at Xiahoudun chasing Zhao Yun alone, Han Hao only felt a toothache, and hurriedly patted the horse... led a group of soldiers to chase after Xiahoudun.
"Kill... Capture Zhao Yun! ”
After pursuing three miles, because of the complex terrain ... Han Hao led the iron cavalry and finally caught up with Xiahoudun.
"General, this place is densely forested, beware of ambushes."
Stretching out his hand to grab Xiahou Xuan's moving horse, Han Hao hurriedly persuaded.
The march is arranged, and the forest is not entered.
Zhao Yun and the others escaped so easily, it was too strange.
"The defeated generals under his command, even if there are ambushes on all sides, what is the general afraid of!"
After fighting with Zhao Yun for ninety rounds, Xiahoudun had already been angry, how could he listen to Han Hao's admonition, stretched out his hand to push Han Hao away, and wanted to move forward again.
"Xiahou Pifu, dare to fight again!"
Not far away, Zhao Yun saw that Xiahou's army was gradually stopping, so he had to turn around and fight again, continuing to attract Xiahoudun's attention.
"Just right!"
Looking at Zhao Yun's figure inviting battle, Xiahou shook his long knife and rushed over with a cold shout.
"Follow up with General Xiahou and divide some elite guards to the left and right, don't give the enemy a chance to take advantage of."
After fighting with Xiahoudun for more than ten rounds, Zhao Yun saw Han Hao and the others chasing after him again, leaving Xiahoudun and fleeing south again, and the angry Xiahoudun scolded angrily.
This chase and escape, and it was several miles, and when Xiahoudun led the army to catch up with Zhao Yun again, it had reached Bowangpo.
At this time, in the depths of the dense forest on the left side of Xiahou Tieqi's iron horse, suddenly a figure flashed, and more than a thousand armor soldiers were suddenly killed, and the leader was undoubtedly Liu Bei himself.
"Liu Xuande !!"
"How dare you be here! It's really self-defeating! ”
For Liu Bei, Xiahoudun is naturally no stranger, so the moment Liu Bei appeared, he recognized Liu Bei, and immediately looked overjoyed and stood up.
"Father, the enemy army has been prepared! It seems that the attack failed. ”
At the edge of the dense forest, a young general looked gloomy, and after killing several Cao Jun iron horsemen one after another, he looked at the dense Cao army iron horsemen on the left and right, quickly squeezed to Liu Bei's side, and said in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter! The intent of the military advisor has been achieved, and it no longer matters how many enemies are killed.
The herald ordered his soldiers to join Zilong and retreat to the dense forest. ”
In Zhuge Liang's strategy, the real meaning of the ambush is not how many enemies are killed, but for... Let Liu Bei appear in the field of vision of the generals of the Cao family.
As Cao Cao's confidant, the moment Liu Bei was recognized, he was doomed... The initiative in the war has been completely shifted from Cao Jun's hands.
"Soldiers, follow me to capture and kill Liu Bei! Those who take Liu Bei's head will be sealed by the marquis of ten thousand households, and a reward of thousands of gold..."
"Yuan Hei, I led three thousand elite horses to dismount and bite Liu Bei, and you led the army to march along the trail, and in addition... Kuaima told the two generals, Yu Ban and Li Dian, to speed up their march and to rush here to support within two hours. Tonight... The general not only had to take Liu Bei's head, but also killed him under Wancheng. ”
Seeing Liu Bei and Zhao Yun join forces, they fought and retreated... Go deep into the forest.
Xiahoudun immediately turned over and dismounted, gave an order to the deputy general Han Hao, and led three thousand soldiers into the dense forest to pursue Liu Bei and Zhao Yun.
