Chapter 379: Jaw Opening vs Xiahou Dun
The 10th day of the lunar month.
Yuan Xi returned to Xuchang, took the pioneer battalion with open jaws, and went straight to Guandu.
Walk to the west bank of the Geummi River.
Yuan Xi was shocked to find that the tens of thousands of troops of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan had withdrawn from Guandu and were all stationed on the west bank of the Jinhe River, which completely blocked Zhang's way.
"Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, know our marching route in advance?"
"It's a coincidence."
Yuan Xi motioned for the pioneer battalion with open jaws to stop and rest, took out the map and looked at it and said: "They are really good at finding the location, the upper reaches of the Jin River are swamps and forests, and the lower reaches are the Yellow River. We can only pass from here. ”
"You wait to lead the army back ten miles, I will go to Liyang to move the rescue troops, probably tomorrow morning, there will be a naval army to assemble in Jinhe. When you arrive, you rush over and board a boat to cross the river. ”
"Yes."
He replied.
The arrival and departure of the pioneer battalion were already under the gaze of the Xiahou brothers.
Since the last battle, they have been very cautious, and they have comprehensively monitored the ten miles around the camp, in order to prevent Yuan Xi's giant beast from suddenly landing on the camp and causing immeasurable losses.
And this time, although no giant beasts were found, the pioneer camp of Open Jaw was found.
Xiahoudun was excited.
"Wen Ruo wrote very early that Zhang Jaw's pioneer battalion had searched for many days in Yingchuan, but he had not found it, who would have thought that he would come to us. It's no wonder that he is going to Puyang to meet Gao Ran. This is a great opportunity. We hurriedly mobilized our troops and annihilated Zhangjaw's headquarters. That's a big deal. ”
"It's a great achievement, but we don't have cavalry, how can we eliminate Jaw? Although his vanguard battalion has been defeated again and again, he still has the ability to escape. Xiahou Yuan said cautiously: "Besides... Since the last time Yuan Xi attacked our camp, he has disappeared without a trace, will he be with Zhang Jaw? The Pioneer Battalion plus Yuan Xi's giant beast is not weaker than us. ”
Xiahoudun said: "In my opinion, Yuan Xi is not with Zhang Jaw. ”
"Why?"
Xiahou said: "Do you think, with the strength of the giant beast and the pioneer camp, do you still need to retreat?" He just called. Now Zhang Jaw not only retreated ten miles, but also set up a solid camp. Does this look like it's there? ”
Xiahoudun's speculation has some truth.
Xiahou Yuan also wanted to make contributions and make up for the losses in the previous battle.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, tonight, we will send 30,000 troops to surround the camp of Zhang Jaw. Fight to eliminate him in one fell swoop. ”
"Haha... Good! Xiahoudun said: "In this battle, I will be the vanguard, and I will definitely cut off the jaw with my own hands!" ”
"The position of a pioneer is none other than a brother!" Xiahou Yuan advised: "But brother, be careful, once we find Yuan Xi or Yuan Xi's giant beast, we will retreat immediately, and we must not hesitate." ”
"Don't worry, I know it." Xiahou replied.
Night.
Just when Yuan Xi went to Liyang to move troops, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun led 30,000 infantry troops, divided into east and north, close to Zhangjaw's camp, and quietly surrounded it.
It's also strange to say that Zhang Jaw is cautious, but this time he is not alert.
The armies of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan had already surrounded the camp, and Zhang Jaw found out.
Woo woo...
As the horn sounded, the Pioneer Battalion urgently assembled.
"Obey!"
He stood on his horse, raised his long sword, and shouted: "The enemy has surrounded us, and there are tens of thousands of troops, and they are approaching our camp. If you want to survive, you have to work hard. Pioneer Camp... Kill with me! ”
"Kill..."
More than 1,000 heavy riders, following behind Zhang Jaw, rushed to the east.
To the east is an open plain, with a range of more than ten miles, which can fully accommodate the pioneer battalion.
The intention of opening the jaw is obvious.
He wanted to take the vanguard battalion to the plain to the east, rely on the advantage of cavalry, entangle with Cao's army, wait until Liyang's navy sailed into the Jin River, and then break through to the north.
Da Da...
The vanguard battalion rushed not far north, engaging thousands of Cao troops.
Zhang Jaw also ran into Xiahoudun.
"Hahaha..."
As soon as Xiahou saw Zhang Jaw, it was like seeing a beauty, and he laughed a few times: "I finally caught you, Zhang Jaw, with General Ben here, do you still want to escape?" Hurry up and get off the horse and get bound? ”
Flipping forward, it was a one-eyed general, and immediately hummed: "It turned out to be Xiahoudun..." ”
"If you know my name, how dare you fight?"
"Xiahoudun, don't put on a score in front of me. If we have a real fight, you may not win me. Jaw Opened roared.
"Come on, then!"
Xiahoudun had long held back his strength, and rushed to open his jaw with a gun.
Clang!
Zhang Jaw was stopped by Xiahoudun and could only fight.
Swords and guns collide, and sparks fly.
Both of them tried their best, made three moves each, and the tie was drawn.
Zhang Jaw distanced himself from him and shouted: "Xiahou Dun, I don't want to fight with you, I will fight again in the future!" ”
After saying that, he ran away.
The speed of the red rabbit horse was extremely fast, and Xiahoudun chased after it for two steps, but did not catch up.
The heavy armored cavalry of the pioneer battalion is also breaking through to the east.
Soon break through the defense line and evacuate with open jaw.
From the beginning of the battle to the successful breakthrough, it was less than a quarter of an hour, there were not many casualties, and there was no decent resistance, and it was easy to reach the eastern plain.
Zhang Jaw realized that since the battle with the tiger and leopard cavalry, he has always been afraid to fight and dare not fight with all his might.
Take, for example, the battle just now.
If it had been before, he would never have evacuated.
And now...
"Report..." Zhang Jaw was reflecting, and ran from behind: "General, thousands of enemy troops are chasing after you." ”
"It must be Xiahoudun." "They have no cavalry, no chariots, and they are on the plain or at night. Why let them run after us? ”
"Come back with me and defeat Xiahoudun!"
Roar, roar, roar...
The soldiers of the vanguard battalion all held back the fire in their bellies, and raised their guns and roared at this time.
Da Da...
More than 1,000 heavy armor riders returned the same way.
After running for a short time, he met Xiahoudun's pursuers.
"Kill..." Zhang Jaw took the lead and set an example for the officers and men of the whole army.
The Pioneer Battalion also underwent a radical change at this moment.
In the face of several times Cao's army, they did not fight.
This is the first time since the defeat to the tiger and leopard riding that there is a state.
When Xiahoudun saw Zhang Jaw coming back, he was very puzzled: "Why did you come back again?" ”
He led the army to pursue Zhang Jaw, wanting to beat the water dog and expand the results of the battle, but who would have thought that the water dog would suddenly turn into a howling wolf.
The distance between the two armies was less than a kilometer.
It's too late to retreat.
Xiahoudun gritted his teeth and shouted: "Don't be afraid, there are only more than a thousand horsemen with open jaws, and they are defeated again and again, and they are no longer our opponents." Obey my orders, outflank from both sides, and besiege Zhang Jaw! ”
"Kill..."
The two armies soon engaged.
Zhang Jaw took the initiative to find Xiahoudun and challenged him.
"Xiahoudun, don't you want to fight with me? I will fulfill you, come! Zhang Jaw raised his long knife and slashed at it.
