The night was silent, and as the night grew darker, gusts of autumn wind whistled.

For a while, the fire that was already on fire, at this moment, the wind borrowed the fire, and the more it burned, the more it burned, the whole water village had already been engulfed by a thick fire dragon.

This tyrannical fire is like a day, extremely dazzling, and it is clearly visible in a radius of dozens of miles!

Biyang, the head of the city.

This night, Chen Qun has been standing on the city and looking at the direction of the water village, and from the moment the fire started, his heart sank.

"Alas, it's over, it's all over!"

Looking at the intensification of the flames, Chen Qun sighed, and then said in a low voice with an expressionless face.

He wasn't stupid and knew what the fire represented.

The water village is the stockade of the Jingzhou army, and its own soldiers went to attack, but there were fires in the village, which can only be said to be the Jingzhou army has been prepared for a long time.

Otherwise, how could the soldiers who came from afar be able to cause a blazing fire?

At this moment, Chen Qun had already concluded in his heart that Gong Yuan's strategy of combining the inside and outside must be fake, and taking a step back, even if Gong Yuan had the intention of returning to obedience, he must have been discovered at the beginning.

"It seems that Gong Yuan planned to surrender to our army, but he leaked the news, and then General Guan Ping planned to stage a deceitful plan and a deceptive surrender plan to lure our army out of the city to fight with it."

"In this way, he eliminated our army, and Biyang City will be at his fingertips, otherwise, it will be difficult to shake the city with his thousands of light troops going north."

At this time, Chen Qun thought about it carefully, and guessed Guan Ping's plan.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, General Xiahou is too easily confused."

Muttering to himself, Chen Qun then turned to face Biyang Ling and said, "Wen County Order, the families of the county soldiers have already gathered, right?" ”

"You go to give the order now, gather at the gates of the city, and when the general returns, our army will abandon the city and retreat north."

As early as when Xiahou Nan led the troops to send troops, Chen Qun planned for the worst and gathered the county soldiers and their families to prevent his own army from being defeated, so he could evacuate in advance.

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding people suddenly panicked, and Biyang Ling also said in a muffled voice: "Sir, now that the victory or defeat has not been decided, and there has been no battle report outside the city, how do you know that our army will be defeated?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Qun's face was solemn, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the burning water village, and muttered: "The victory and defeat have been decided!" ”

As soon as the time was urgent, Chen Qun did not give everyone a chance to discuss, and immediately gave the order.

"General Xiahou, I hope you can break through safely, don't lose here!"

After the order was given, Chen Qun's eyes were slightly condensed, and he was still staring at the dark outside of the city, muttering.

Xiahou Nan is Xiahou Xuan's own son, if he dies in this battle, with Xiahou Xuan's fiery temper, I am afraid that he will be implicated.

Moreover, Xiahou Nan is still a clan relative, and it is okay to die in battle, but if he is captured alive, it will be really troublesome.

However, Chen Qun was also very sensible, and he did not rashly lead the army out of the city to rescue, after all, he knew very well that if his own elite were defeated, what was the use of hundreds of county soldiers with low combat strength?

Outside the city, on the official road in the silence of the night.

At this moment, Cao Jun, from Xiahou Nan to the low-level soldiers, was all frightened, panicked, and discouraged, and even vaguely saw that some soldiers were still filled with the smell of being burned.

Although this army was from the Tiger Battalion and was strong, they were still terrified after being attacked by scheming, fire, and even crossbows.

It's an unforgettable fear.

"I regret not listening to Chen Changwen's policy, I hate, hate!"

At this moment, suffering from this incomparably huge failure, Xiahou Nan has also woken up, and he has been being calculated from beginning to end.

"Consecutive battles and victories, the Jingzhou army is vulnerable, Gong Yuan surrendered, hahaha."

"So far, it seems that this is all Guan Ping's trick!"

At this moment, Xiahou Nan couldn't control his emotions, and suddenly laughed wildly, and there was a feeling of compassion in his words.

It's a pity that defeat is defeat, and there is no regret medicine in the world!

Looking at the hundreds of remnants of the defeated generals who were still left behind him, Xiahou Nan was expressionless and depressed.

In the first half of the night, when our army set out from the city, the army was still full of momentum and morale, but now it was .........

Even, Xiahou Nan was already thinking about how high-spirited and complacent he was when he asked the prince Cao Pi to go south and patrol all over the country.

Now, the two thousand tiger battalions that can be called the elite of Cao's camp have been completely destroyed and returned defeated, and he can imagine the scene of everyone talking cool words in Xudu City at that time.

It's just that just as Xiahou Nan was thinking, he didn't expect that in front of him, there was a neatly armored and full-hearted soldier standing here at this moment!

Seeing Sergeant Cao coming slowly, the leader of the general lifted the big knife upside down and took a few steps forward.

"Xiahou Nan, I will be waiting for you here for a long time!"

As soon as these words fell, all of a sudden, the surrounding night changed abruptly, the torches gathered, shining on the hall, and more than a thousand Jingzhou soldiers formed a formation, blocking the road.

The majestic general in front of him is Guan Ping.

As early as the design, Guan Ping had already decided that this battle must capture Xiahou Nan alive.

Guan Ping was not arrogant, he knew that this time his army went north, even if the Cao army converged on the Xiangfan front, the hinterland of Xudu could not be shaken by his strength.

Therefore, the appearance of Xiahou Nan, he felt that this was an excellent opportunity.

Without him, because Xiahou Nan's identity is extremely special, first of all, Xiahou Xuan's son-in-law, and secondly, Cao Cao's son-in-law.

With such a prominent clan identity, I am afraid that there will be no second person in the second generation of Cao Ying.

It must be known that now the relationship between Xiahoudun and Cao Cao is already good to a certain extent, and there is probably no one in Cao Ying's camp who can compare to the two of them.

In this way, Guan Ping keenly felt that if he could capture Xiahou Nan alive, it would be very convenient for the next soldiers to Xu Xu, and in a fierce battle with Cao Jun, they would inevitably throw a mouse.

Therefore, Guan Ping personally led an army to ambush to the place where he must pass early in the morning, waiting for the return of Xiahou Nan, who was defeated by the remnants of the army.

"Guanguan... Flat? ”

At this moment, when Xiahou Nan saw this, his heart sank even more, and his words were also eager.

He originally thought that if he broke through this time, he would be out of the crisis, but he didn't expect that Guan Ping would be waiting for him here.

Half-loud, Guan Ping's eyes were stunned, and he shouted: "Xiahou Nan, now that you are at the end of the crossbow, you can't run away, just grab it obediently!" ”

"Otherwise, under the fierce battle of the sword soldiers, casualties will be inevitable."

A seat shouted high, and the Jingzhou soldiers roared in an instant, holding Pu knives and other weapons in their hands, with serious faces, ready to fight at any time, and the military appearance was extremely strict.

But on the other hand, Sergeant Cao has long lost his courage under the successive schemes, and now he is being ambushed, how can he have the courage to resist?

At this moment, the elite of Cao Jun actually showed horror on their faces!

"General, the last general will go to war, and I am willing to cut off Guan Ping's head to sacrifice and help our army fight a bloody road."

As soon as these words came out, I saw a hand-held war knife galloping out of the formation, and rushed straight to Guan Ping!
