Chapter 67: It's better to make a bet

There was no moon that night, the four fields were dark, and the gate of Huaixian County was quietly opened.

Xiahoudun led 2,000 cavalry and quietly touched out of the city, followed by Xu Huang with more than 1,000 soldiers carrying wooden barrels.

After the two of them left the city, they went to different places.

Xu Huang went to the trench that stretched between the city and Yuan Xu's army, while Xiahou Dun led two hundred elite horsemen and went straight to Yuan Xu's military camp.

There were many dead bodies, and no one drove them, standing still and not moving.

Xiahoudun did not lead the cavalry to cut down the corpses.

Although a lot was burned, most of it was left.

Even if they were exhausted, it would not be possible to chop all the dead bodies into powder.

Instead of wasting time on the corpse, it is better to go straight to Yuan Xu's military camp and take the head of the main general.

Night raids are far more effective on the living than on the dead.

Not long after the two of them left the city, Guo Jia, who couldn't sleep, stood at the head of the city.

Sensing that there was movement outside the city, he instructed the soldiers: "Hurry up and invite General Xiahou and General Xu!" ”

"Back to the military division, the two generals went out of the city." Soldiers' report.

"Out of town?" Guo Jia was stunned: "What are you going to do?" ”

The soldier told them what they were going out of the city for.

Guo Jia secretly screamed, "Not good."

The matter has already come out, and no matter how annoyed he is, it will be useless, so he can only order: "Watch and see at any time, as soon as the two generals come back, report to me immediately!" ”

Looking out of the city, he vaguely saw the end of defeat.

He could understand the mood of Xiahoudun and Xu Huang, and he also understood why they did this.

But he wouldn't think that Yuan Xu would be defenseless at night.

Looking nervously at the outside of the city at night, Guo Jia heard the sound of the piano.

The sound of the piano came, and he closed his eyes in frustration.

Finished......

It's really over......

Xiahoudun rode through the corpses with two hundred spirits.

The corpses remained motionless, and their courage grew.

It was not far from the barracks, and suddenly there was a burst of piano sounds in front of him.

Xiahoudun was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Follow me!" ”

The sound of the piano was heard, proving that their whereabouts had been exposed.

shouted loudly, it was he who wanted to kill the Taiyuan army before the dead body moved, and took Yuan Xu's head.

As long as Yuan Xu is killed, the army of dead corpses outside the city will completely become an ornament.

His reaction was quick, half a beat slower than the corpse's movements.

Countless corpses gathered on his side and two hundred cavalrymen after the sound of the piano.

Surrounded by the corpses, Xiahoudun wielded his halberd and fought hard, and the cavalry who followed him out of the city were also slashing with all their might.

Xu Huang was leading more than 1,000 Cao soldiers to dump oil into the trench at this time.

Hearing the sound of the piano, he shouted, "Go back to the city!" ”

It's not that he doesn't want to rescue Xiahoudun, it's just that the two of them agreed in advance that if their whereabouts are discovered, they must not come forward to rescue.

There are countless murderous corpses, and with the more than 1,000 Cao troops brought out of the city by Xu Huang, even if they come forward, they are just filling in more soldiers.

Returning to the city is Xu Huang's only choice.

Surrounded by murderous corpses, the Cao army cavalry beside Xiahoudun was annihilated by the corpses one by one.

He was fighting hard, and a voice came from a distance: "Xiahou Yuanrang, don't you know that the night is my world?" ”

It was Yuan Xu who spoke.

Feeling teased, Xiahou was very annoyed, and he wielded his weapon more violently.

Splitting a murderous corpse from head to toe, he was about to withdraw his weapon and slash at the other, when his waist suddenly tightened, and a murderous corpse hugged him from the side.

The sound of the piano was melodious, and the murderous corpse did not tear Xiahoudun into minced meat, but held him down.

A moment later, Gan Ning arrived with several Taiyuan soldiers.

"Tie him up." Looking down at Xiahoudun, who was twisted by the dead body, Gan Ning ordered.

Several Taiyuan soldiers stepped forward and tied up Xiahoudun with all hands and feet.

Yuan Xu sat in the army and stopped stroking the qin.

Gan Ning escorted Xiahoudun in front of him.

"Xiahou Yuanrang." Yuan Xu looked at Xiahoudun with a smile: "Just ask if you accept it?" ”

Xiahoudun snorted coldly and twisted his face to the side.

"It seems that he is not convinced." Yuan Xu smiled: "Why don't we make a bet." You win, I'll let you go. I won, you with me. ”

"Bet on what?" There is a possibility of being let go, Xiahoudun asked.

"Within one day, break through Huai County." Yuan Xu said: "From dawn to sunset, what do you think? ”

Yuan Xu had already attacked Huai County for a day, and the army of dead corpses could not climb the city wall at all.

The bet he proposed seemed to be beneficial to Xiahoudun.

"Break through Huai County in one day?" Xiahoudun sneered: "I'm not the only one who goes out of the city tonight......"

"I know." Yuan Xu interrupted him: "Xu Huang led people to pour oil in the trench, trying to stop the dead bodies from crossing, I only ask you, to bet or not to bet?" ”

"How's the bet? What if you don't gamble? ”

"If you gamble, you are willing to gamble and lose, and act according to the gambling contract." Yuan Xu replied: "If you don't gamble, I'll lock you up until the earth is desolate." ”

Xiahoudun is not afraid of death, but if he wants to lock him up, he really can't stand it.

"I bet." He said unconvinced: "But there is a condition. ”

"Say." Yuan Xu motioned for him to continue.

"Put me alone." Xiahoudun said: "With General Xu and I here before, the city is not easy to break. Without me, it's hard to guarantee that the city will be broken in one day. ”

"That's not going to work." Yuan Xu immediately denied: "Let you go, if you fight to the death, and when the city is broken, all you get is a dead man, I won't lose a lot." ”

"If I don't agree, I won't gamble." Xiahoudun replied.

"Then it's better to lock it up, but use more food to feed one person." Yuan Xu instructed Gan Ning: "Hold General Xiahou in custody......"

Xiahoudun's head was full of black lines.

He had planned to return to Huaixian by making a bet, and he would fight to the end no matter what.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Xu didn't buy it at all, and would rather not gamble than put him back.

If you don't gamble, you will lose the last chance to be let go.

Gan Ning stepped forward and was about to take him away, when Xiahoudun shouted: "I am willing to gamble!" It's up to you to break down the city in one day. ”

"Then look at it with round eyes." Yuan Xu smiled and instructed Gan Ning: "General Xiahou tossed in the middle of the night, he should also be hungry, take him to eat something, and then come back to me." ”

Gan Ning took Xiahoudun and left.

Pang Tong asked Yuan Xu: "Is the son sure to break the city within one day?" ”

"Absolutely." Yuan Xu said: "We have already grasped the law of the enemy army defending the city, and we can't break the city within a day, isn't the army of the dead I brought underestimated?" ”

"You go and do something." He instructed Pang Tong: "Let the soldiers light rockets and set fire to the oil in the trenches and under the city walls." ”

Pang Tong understood what he meant.

He was going to light the fire at night, and when the army of murderous corpses attacked, there would be no more flames to block it.

At least not as ferocious as the first attack.

The military order was issued, and the Taiyuan army quickly responded.

Countless flaming arrows flew towards the foot of the trenches and walls.

The fire ignited instantly.
