Chapter 291: Xiahou Lan Killed
Cai Mao's performance is actually the root of the family's inferiority, for the sake of their own family's selfishness, they can ignore the interests of the lord they are loyal to, just to be able to obtain greater benefits for themselves.
Of course, because Cai Mao is very secretive, and Liu Biao and Kuai Liang don't have much energy to focus on this aspect now, so no one knows Cai Mao's behavior now.
Liu Biao looked at Cai Mao at this time and said: "De, you lead the navy to guard the waterway for me, strengthen the defense, and guard everywhere, if the Yuan Shu army in Nanyang arrives, find a way to stop me and buy time." In just two days, Xiangyang City can be taken, and I don't want to fall short at this time. ”
"Yes!" Cai Mao's eyes were awe-inspiring, and he didn't dare to oppose Liu Biao, he had already seen that the current Liu Biao was desperate to be able to take Xiangyang City, and if he went against Liu Biao at this time, even if the starting point was good, he would inevitably be resented by Liu Biao.
Liu Biao didn't pay too much attention to Cai Mao, Cai Mao is his brother-in-law, so Liu Biao still trusts Cai Mao, otherwise the chief general of Jingzhou Water Division will not be Cai Mao. However, Liu Biao didn't expect that Cai Mao would stumble on him at this time, if there was no Cai Mao, with Liu Biao's army in the city, he would definitely be able to make some families in Xiangyang City turn against him, so maybe they could take Xiangyang City today.
It's a pity that Liu Biao overestimated Cai Mao, and didn't expect Cai Mao to do such a thing for the Cai family.
This night, Liu Biao discussed with Kuai Liang, Liu Pan and others for a long time, and they dispersed after late at night. Xiangyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Liu Biao can see the hope of breaking through Xiangyang City in these few days, it is already an all-out effort, and it is also thanks to the fact that there are not many defenders in Xiangyang City now, otherwise if there are 10,000 more troops in Xiangyang City, Liu Biao will have no way to take Xiangyang City.
When Liu Pan, Kuai Liang and others left one after another, Liu Biao was about to rest, but suddenly his mind moved, he walked out of the big tent alone, ordered the guards guarding outside the tent a few words, and then turned around in the barracks.
Now there was silence in the barracks, only some patrolling guards were constantly walking with torches, and Liu Biao felt bored for some reason after walking for a while, so he returned to the main tent to prepare for rest. Somehow, tonight Liu Biao always felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart, as if there was a big stone pressing on Liu Biao's heart, which made him feel extremely depressed.
At dawn, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared outside the Jingzhou military camp, led by Xiahoulan, the general of the Yuan Shu army who was originally stationed in Nanyang.
Xia Houlan was wearing strong armor, carrying a spear, a war horse, and her eyes were terrifying.
Zhou Cang's speed was very fast, and he arrived in Wancheng three days ago, and Yang Hong, Yu She, and Xiahou Lan, who were stationed in Wancheng, were all surprised when they learned that Liu Biao had counterattacked Xiangyang City and that Xun Yan and Yuan Yao were still in Xiangyang City, and hurriedly gathered together to discuss the rescue of Xiangyang City.
Actually, it doesn't matter if Xiangyang City is lost, it can be fought back in the future, but if something happens to Yuan Yao, then Yuan Shu will really go crazy, which is even more serious than the loss of Xiangyang City.
After Yang Hong, Yu She, and Xuheng Lise discussed, it was finally decided that Xiahoulan would personally lead the vanguard support force of 5,000 people to the south, and Li Yan would lead the 10,000 follow-up troops behind.
Xiahou Lan was able to be reused under Yuan Shu, and Yuan Yao was actually inseparable, so when he learned that Yuan Yao was now in danger, Xiahou Lan did not dare to delay all the way to march, and it only took three days to rush from Wancheng to Xiangyang City, but the consequence of such a rapid march was that the combat power of the five thousand vanguard troops under Xia Houlan was not small.
Last night, Xiahou Lan rushed to the Xiangyang City area with Zhou Cang and five thousand vanguard troops, and he could have killed Xiangyang City last night and entered Xiangyang City. But after Xia Houlan found out where the Jingzhou military camp was, she had a different idea.
At dawn at this time, Xia Houlan looked at the sky, pointed his spear forward, and shouted: "Attack!" ”
Dawn is the time when a person's mental state is the most trance-like in the day, and Xia Houlan chose to attack at this time, the purpose is to take advantage of your illness and kill you. Of course, the 5,000 men in Xiahoulan's hands were not enough to eat all the Jingzhou army, but it was still possible to attack the Jingzhou army in a wave.
After Xia Houlan ordered the attack, he took the lead, with a spear in his hand, and took the lead in rushing to the Jingzhou army camp, and Zhou Cang followed closely behind Xia Houlan. Zhou Cang did not ride a horse, but opened his legs and galloped wildly, but his speed was not inferior to Xia Houlan who was riding a horse.
"Enemy attack!"
Although the vigilance of the Jingzhou army was reduced to the lowest at this time, the movement of Xia Houlan leading the troops to charge was too big, how could he not find it, but even if he found it, it would be useless. When most of the Jingzhou soldiers reacted, Xia Houlan had already rushed to the camp gate on horseback, and the spear in his hand was handed out, and a gang qi was exposed on the tip of the spear, hitting the camp gate.
Although the camp gate of the Jingzhou army camp is not weak, Xiahou Lan's full force attack with the early stage cultivation of the Ning Gang Realm is not something that this small camp gate can withstand.
At the beginning of this year, Xiahou Lan and Yu She, who were stationed in Nanyang, both broke through to the Ning Gang Realm in a scramble, and their strength soared. Let the Ning Gang Realm that Yuan Shu now has has increased to eight if Lu Bu is not counted, in addition to Ji Ling, Xu Chu, Xu Ding, Pan Feng, Gao Cang, Yu She, and Xiahou Lan, and Chen Zhi, who is stationed in Yongqiu, has also broken through to the Ning Gang Realm.
Xiahou Lan was originally a disciple of the Divine Spear Pavilion, although he could only be regarded as a registered disciple, but it was also because the standards of the Divine Spear Pavilion were too strict that Xiahou Lan did not enter the eyes of the Divine Spear Pavilion Master. However, this does not mean that Xia Houlan's talent and strength are not good, on the contrary, Xia Houlan's talent may not be as good as those fierce people who stand at the top of this world, but it is not weak.
After Xiuwei broke through to the Ning Gang Realm, Xiahou Lan's strength had changed drastically, so he could shatter the camp gate of the Jingzhou Army camp with one shot.
After the camp gate was smashed, Xiahoulan took the lead in rushing into the Jingzhou army camp, waving the spear left and right, and a stream of qi erupted from the spear, almost in an instant, all the Jingzhou soldiers around Xiahoulan were solved. By the time Zhou Cang followed Xiahou Lan and rushed in, there were no living Jingzhou soldiers around the camp gate, only corpses in one place.
