Ma Chao's laughter resounded throughout the Cao Jun camp, and both Liu Jun and Cao Jun heard it in their ears.

If it were someone else, they would definitely not be able to bear this insult and would have attacked right now. But Xiahou Yuan is different, he just suffered a loss that he couldn't help his temper before, and Ma Chao is Xiahou Yuan's old opponent, Xiahou Yuan is a little suspicious that Ma Chao is seducing him.

Because there was no order from Xiahou Yuan, the soldiers of the Cao army stopped in place one by one, and they were all waiting for Xiahou Yuan's order now.

Xiahou Yuan was also thinking about whether to pursue.

Niu Jin and several of Xiahou Yuan's subordinates came to his side, and they also heard Ma Chao's insults to Xiahou Yuan.

Niu Jin's brain was muddy, and he went directly to Xiahou Yuan's side and said, "General, you can bear it like this." ”

Xiahou Yuan was insulted by Ma Chao just now, and now Niu Jin said such cool things again, and he turned his face on the spot.

"Come on, drag this bastard down and beat twenty military sticks!" Xiahou Yuan was really angry with Niu Jin.

Several soldiers immediately dragged Niu Jin down.

Niu Jin looked stunned and said in shock: "General, what did I do?" ”

The surrounding Xiahou Yuan's subordinates shook their heads, they deserved Niu Jin to be beaten, and they really didn't know how to choose the right time to speak.

"Add thirty!" Xiahou Yuan's anger came up again, Niu Jin was too ignorant.

Niu Jin was dumbfounded, and if he said one more sentence, he would add thirty more military sticks! He didn't even know what to do.

The others didn't dare to say more in Xiahou Yuan's anger, so they could only let Niu Jin be dragged down by the soldiers with marching sticks.

After beating Niu Jin, Xiahou Yuan felt that the stuffiness in his chest was a lot less. Xiahou Yuan recovered his composure and began to think about how to deal with the next battle situation.

Judging from Ma Chao's combat methods just now, Ma Chao has almost given up the method of holding on and waiting for reinforcements, and has taken the initiative to attack to defend Song County. Xiahou Yuan thinks that this possibility is very large, in fact, Cao Jun does not have much capital to confront Ma Chao in the cavalry, if he does not capture Song County, I am afraid that he will be tossed to death by Ma Chao. In the past, when he was in Yanzhou, Ma Chao often relied on the mobility of the cavalry to create a lot of trouble for Xiahou Yuan, although the cavalry was not invincible, it was very troublesome to be on guard. There are only a thousand days to be a thief, where is there a thousand days to prevent thieves.

While Xiahou Yuan was thinking, Ma Chao's troops had already returned to the county seat of Song County.

Ma Chao looked back at Xiahou Yuan, and when he found that Cao Jun didn't make any moves, he smiled contemptuously: "Xiahou Yuan is really a turtle son, and he doesn't have any guts at all." ”

Ma Chao's subordinates hurriedly came over and asked, "General, Xiahou Yuan didn't call, what should we do?" ”

Liu Jun has covered the entire Song County with fire-igniting objects, and this place is now a powder keg, which will explode as long as there is a little ignition source. Liu Jun's soldiers now feel that they are not standing steadily.

"If he doesn't come, let's go. Leave a few people who dare to die, ambush in the city, wait for Xiahou Yuan to enter the city, and then light a fire and roast Xiahou Yuan into a roast pig! Ma Chao gave new instructions.

This method is good, and there are many soldiers in Liu Jun who are not afraid of death, so a few soldiers immediately volunteered to stay and light the fire.

Although Ma Chao didn't pay much attention to the lives of the soldiers, seeing that these soldiers were so brave, he also showed a solemn expression. Ma Chao said that as long as they came back alive, he would definitely ask the court for credit for them and reward each of them with fifty gold.

Fifty gold is a huge fortune for ordinary people, and if you come back alive, even if you don't do it on the spot, you can go home and live a rich life. Many people envy them, they are not afraid of death, Liu Yujun's pension is the best among the princes, their children and families are properly arranged, and there is no problem in eating a full stomach in this life. They have no worries and tend to fight harder when they fight. Staying is likely to be a dead end, as long as the strategy is successful and returns alive, then this military merit will at least add a touch.

Liu Yujun speaks with military merits, and those with high military merits can enjoy superior treatment, which is also the reason why the soldiers under Ma Chao's command are envious. If you die, you can have a large amount of pension, and if you are alive, you can have military merit and gold, where can you find such a good thing.

After the arrangements were made, Ma Chao ordered the whole army to rest for a while, and then quietly left Song County from the West Gate.

When Ma Chao was leaving, he also set up a sign in Song County, on which he wrote sarcastic words about Xiahou Yuan, preparing to confuse Xiahou Yuan.

Cao Jun didn't react for a whole night, because all the lights in Song County were extinguished, and the lights were blind, and Xiahou Yuan was a little suspicious that Ma Chao was thinking of some tricks.

Of course, Song County is blind in the dark, and it is now full of flammable materials, and the slightest light may cause a fire.

The Cao army outside Song County did not rest well, and Xiahou Yuan arranged for all Cao troops to take turns to rest, and he did not dare to conclude whether Ma Chao would suddenly attack the camp again.

So in this case, Xiahou Yuan and several subordinates didn't close their eyes all night.

When the sun was rising, Xiahou Yuan realized that something was wrong.

According to the normal situation, there must be soldiers defending the city wall of Song County, but now there is no one on the city wall of Song County.

"There's something wrong with this!" Xiahou Yuan called a subordinate and asked him to lead a part of the soldiers close to the county seat of Song County to test what the situation was.

This subordinate scolded Xiahou Yuan to death in his heart: Damn, Lao Tzu is usually quite obedient to you, such a dangerous thing actually let Lao Tzu go, what if Lao Tzu dies!

"General, the last general has been feeling a little unwell lately." The subordinate immediately found an excuse and euphemistically said that he did not want to go.

Xiahou Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "What did you say?!" ”

This subordinate was frightened by Xiahou Yuan's anger, and suddenly felt that he didn't know what to do.

Looking at the frightened appearance of his subordinates, Xiahou Yuan really hated that iron could not become steel. He now knew that his subordinates were such people, and it was a shame for him.

Xiahou Yuan looked at the others, and several of his other subordinates lowered their heads. Xiahou Yuan knew that these people were afraid of death and did not dare to face such a danger.

"It's all a bunch of rubbish, why didn't Ben see it before." Xiahou Yuan felt that his eyes were blind before, but he didn't realize that these subordinates were all greedy for life and afraid of death.

At this time, Niu Jin walked out and said, "The general let the last general go." The last general wants to atone for his sins. Isn't it just a trip to Song County? The head is gone, and it's just a scar the size of a bowl. ”

Niu Jin was so angry with Xiahou Yuan before, although he didn't know what he was doing wrong, but now he wants to save his image in front of Xiahou Yuan, at least he can atone for his crimes.

Xiahou Yuan came to Niu Jin's side, patted Niu Jin on the shoulder and said, "Niu Jin, it seems that only you are a bloody person. Okay, I'm going to let you do that! Go ahead. ”

Niu Jin turned around and led his subordinates to immediately rush towards the wall of Song County. Xiahou Yuan looked at Niu Jin's back and nodded, and said: "Look at it, this time it is a good subordinate of the lord and the general, you people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, it's a shame!" ”

The faces of several subordinates were red, but now Cao Cao didn't have many generals, and they decided that Xiahou Yuan didn't dare to do anything to them.

"Hmph, I'm cleaning you up when I turn around!" Xiahou Yuan put down a cruel word.

The faces of several subordinates looked a little indifferent.

Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but lament in his heart, Cao Jun used to be a fierce and fearless existence, when did he become so weak. Xiahou Yuan's subordinates were right, and Xiahou Yuan couldn't do anything to these subordinates now, because Cao Cao could use a little bit of a middle-level military general now. The defeat of Yanzhou that year led to the killing or capture of a large number of middle-level generals Liu Yu, and Cao Cao no longer had many generals to waste. Xiahou Yuan just knew that, so he would be like this. In this way, you fall into an endless loop.

"I hope the lord can recruit more talents, these people are angry when they look at it." Xiahou Yuan sighed inwardly.

Xiahou Yuan once again looked at the advancing Niu Jin Division.

Although Niu Jin wants to make meritorious contributions, it doesn't mean that he is stupid.

Niu Jin had already held a huge shield in his hand, and as long as Liu Jun's soldiers appeared on the city wall, he immediately used the shield to protect the vital points, and then retreated.

Niu Jin's soldiers were also worried, although their lives were not valuable, they also wanted to live longer. Now as the vanguard to test the reality of Song County, this is a matter of great merit, but the credit is received by the generals, and it is they who die. Even if they have merit, they will have an extra bite of meat and a bowl of wine to eat, and nothing else. Niu Jin's soldiers couldn't help but look at their main general with resentment, and if they wanted to make meritorious contributions, they couldn't push the brothers to death, and now if something happens, what should I do?

In such an emotion, the speed of Niu Jin's department was like a turtle, and Xiahou Yuan, the coach, was a little unhappy, what was he doing so carefully.

It's just that Xiahou Yuan can't say anything, if he wants to order them to speed up, what should the other soldiers think.

After a pillar of incense, Niu Jin's department finally came to the city wall of Song County.

Niu Jin looked at the city wall nervously, but nothing happened all the way forward, Niu Jin's heart couldn't help but be raised, for fear that there would be danger. His soldiers, like Niu Jin, looked around nervously.

After a long time, there was still no situation.

"Huh? This Song County can't be nobody, right? The thought came to Niu Jin's mind.

Niu Jin slowly approached the city gate, he had a bold idea, and if this idea was true, then the credit was great.

Niu Jin came to the city gate, and everyone stared at him. I saw Niu Jin vigorously pushing open the city gate, and the city gate of Song County was slowly opened.

"Sure enough, there was no one! God help me! Niu Jin saw through the crack in the door that Song County was not alone.

Niu Jin's soldiers saw that the city gate was opened, and hurried over to help, and the city gate was finally completely opened.

Niu Jin and the others did not delay this time, he rushed directly in, looked around in Song County, and found no trace of anyone.

Liu Jun, who was ordered to stay and light the fire, hurriedly hid, but they didn't dare to make a little movement.

After Niu Jin confirmed that there was no one, he immediately returned to Xiahou Yuan.

"General Hui, the last general has already found out that there are no enemy troops in Song County!" Niu Jin said with a smile on his face.

"Well done! Ben will take credit for you! "Xiahou Yuan saw that there was no one in Song County when Niu Jin entered Song County, but Xiahou Yuan wanted to fulfill Niu Jin and let him take the credit.

Niu Jin was praised by Xiahou Yuan like this, and the whole person touched his head and smirked, and now he can atone for his sins.

Several of Xiahou Yuan's subordinates all regretted it, they knew that there was no one in Song County, and they should have rushed up just now, but now it's okay, the big credit is cheaper.

Xiahou Yuan led Cao Jun slowly into Song County. Cao Jun almost didn't rest well all night, and now he urgently needs a place to rest, the key is that Xiahou Yuan hasn't closed his eyes all night, and now he is very sleepy. It's just that Song County is just a county seat, and no matter how much it expands, it can't let go of so many people as Cao Jun. Xiahou Yuan could only let part of Cao's army rest outside Song County.

After entering Song County, some soldiers who wanted to find a room to rest suddenly found that many rooms in Song County actually contained a large amount of flammable materials such as fire oil, wood, and straw.

"Hurry up and report to the general, hurry up and leave Song County!" A soldier shouted in horror.

All Cao Jun was shocked, they knew what so many flammable materials meant.

It's just that they found out a little late, and a few Liu Jun dead soldiers lurking in Song County immediately lit flammable materials, lit one place and then ran to another place to light the fire. Smoke soon rose from the entire Song County.

"It's on fire, put out the fire!"

"Someone set fire to him and killed him!"

"Spies, spies!"

Several Liu Jun's dead soldiers were discovered by Cao Jun, and their fate was doomed, and they were dismembered by Cao Jun's knives, and none of them could go back alive.

"Retreat!" Xiahou Yuan knew that he had fallen for Ma Chao's strategy.

Cao Jun quickly escaped outside the city under the order of Xiahou Yuan, and only hated his parents for having two legs. But the gates are so big that it's impossible to get out all at once. Many Cao soldiers were burned alive by the fire because they could not escape.

On the hillside not far from Song County, Ma Chao looked at the burning county seat of Song County, and the armor on Ma Chao's body reflected the fire of Song County.

Ma Chao sighed: "I didn't expect that under the light of the fire, the entire Song County would be so spectacular." ”

Several of Ma Chao's subordinates broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads, their main generals were too vicious in their hearts, that is, the whole city was burning, that is to say, Song County was over, Ma Chao also said that it was spectacular, I really don't know what Ma Chao thinks.

"Let's go, it's time to retreat. Xiahou Yuan, this kid is very crazy, if we don't leave, this mad dog will not let us go. Ma Chao immediately ordered.

All the Liu troops immediately followed their commander and left the hillside.
