At night, Xiahoudun's scouts finally appeared, bringing the news that they were chasing Zhang Xun, and sure enough, as Guo Jia firmly believed, Zhang Xun went to Xiao County, after learning the news, Cao Cao pulled out the camp overnight, followed Xiahou Yuan to Xiao County, and marched overnight, because it was a large army marching at night, the speed was not too fast at all, let alone following Xiahou Yuan, even Xiahou Yuan could not see any shadow.

The march lasted until noon on the second day, because of the overnight march, the troops did not eat morning food, but only ate some dry food, one by one tired and sleepy, looking at the sluggish state of the soldiers, Cao Cao ordered the troops to stop marching and rest in place.

The Huotou battalion made lunch for the soldiers, and the soldiers, who had been hungry and rumbling for a long time, began to rest and soon fell asleep.

At the same time that the main force of the Cao army entered the dreamland, Xiahou Dan's troops fought with Zhang Xun again, his 30,000 Shanyang army, now under his leadership, is really good, very combative, and even does not lose Cao Cao's main force at all, to be honest, their combat effectiveness is really strong now, otherwise after being ambushed by the Shouchun army, they may be defeated early in the morning, and even they will not be able to pursue all the way.

Shouchun army killed from all directions, Zhang Xun led the troops for many years, and naturally knew that if he wanted to get rid of the pursuit of the enemy, it was not enough to run, and it was absolutely useless, only by repelling them and then retreating, there would be hope. However, although their ambush was perfect and killed Xiahoudun by surprise, Xiahoudun's reaction speed was also very fast, and he immediately formed a defensive formation and began to defend against the attack of the Shouchun army.

Especially Xiahoudun, the Yanling spear is like a long dragon out of the water, and it stabbed down with a whistling to kill, Shou Chunjun, who was the first to kill with a shield, looked at the Yanling spear that was like a flying dragon stabbing straight in, and subconsciously blocked the giant shield in front of him, if it was usual, his actions like this were enough to make him safe, but this time he encountered Xiahoudun, there was no point in hiding behind the giant shield, and the next moment Shou Chunjun, who was holding the shield, felt a strong force coming, and the soldiers hiding behind the giant shield instantly felt that the blood was rolling, and his throat was sweetAt the same time, his whole person began to retreat, trying his best to resist the giant shield, but he didn't expect that because of the force at both ends, he lost control of the giant shield in an instant, and the moment he wanted to re-righten the giant shield, the Yanling spear in Xiahoudun's hand had once again stabbed a second shot at him.

Said that it was too late, the Yanling gun pierced into the eyebrows of the Shouchun army accurately, he didn't even make any sound, and he died, and the Xiahou Dun who drew the Yanling gun was clamped into the belly of the horse, and killed the Shouchun army formation, and knocked several Shouchun soldiers and killed them one by one, and was rushed out of the formation, losing the defense of the shield soldiers, Xiahoudun was in the Shouchun army as if in the no-man's land, left and right to kill, at this moment Shouchun army in front of him as long as the share to be slaughtered, Yanling spears and tigers, a row assassinated more than ten people, Killing Xiahoudun laughed again and again, he had not fought so painfully for a long time, or since welcoming Emperor Xian, with the continuous growth of their power, Xiahoudun has rarely been on the battlefield like today, and today can definitely be said to be a coincidence, but in his heart, he has been looking forward to this for a long time.

Compared with the Shouchun Army and the Shanyang Army, it will naturally seem vulnerable, but with Zhang Xun in charge, how can the Shouchun Army seem so easy to deal with now, although it seems that they are very easy to fight now, but after all, this is just a battle, and the ambush of the Shouchun Army will slowly show itself over time, and at that time, it will be impossible for the Shanyang Army to take another step forward except for retreating.

Zhang Xun is convinced of this, and he is also trying to change the situation on the battlefield, and soon under his command, Shou Chunjun will gradually move back to the initial unfavorable situation, and now the two sides are beginning to stalemate, melee together, you kill me and I cut, the two sides do not give in to each other, it can be said that every inch of land must be contested, and for a time the killing was dark, and the corpses were full of wilderness.

Among the Chinese army, Zhang Xun, who observed the situation on the battlefield, was very satisfied with the current situation, Shou Chunjun under his command, the growth was not a star and a half, plus how long they had been baptized by battle, it was not comparable to the battle of the station, of course, this does not mean that they have been able to compete with the Cao army, after all, their strength is there, but even if the strength is strong, this is not necessarily related to the result.

Zhang Xun has always agreed with a concept, strong strength and more troops do not mean that they will win, on the contrary, weak strength and less troops do not mean that there is no possibility of winning, strength is strength, victory or defeat is victory or defeat, these are two concepts, because there are too many variables on the battlefield, the strong will defeat the weak, but the weak will also defeat the strong.

Maybe they will lose nine times out of ten against Shou Chunjun, but they also have the possibility of winning one of them, and now Zhang Xun has such an expectation in his heart, hoping to become the final winner.

But after all, where is the strength to lose, it will not be too easy to win, from the current point of view, the Shanyang army is definitely not easy to match, not to mention how strong their combat effectiveness is, just say that their resilience is not comparable to the general army, whether a force has resilience or not, is what he values the most, because resilient troops often stimulate strong potential in difficult times, and the current battlefield Cao army shows this, even if they are surrounded by a large army, with absolute superiority to encircle and suppress, But because they have a tenacious style and strong tenacity, Shou Chunjun did not occupy any advantage in a short period of time, and he did not have an advantage in occupying the position, which was the first time he had seen such a situation.

He had a lot of momentum, but he was never able to establish a victory in one fell swoop, and he didn't even have an advantage, and this was certainly not the result he wanted.

But he can't make any changes, the existence of generals is actually a very special existence, the outcome of the battle depends on the main general, but really on the battlefield, the real decision is not about the main general, but the soldiers who are fighting, and how they play, is not Zhang Xun as the main general can decide, the so-called do their best to obey the destiny of heaven is actually this truth, he has done everything that he can do as the main general to perfection, and then it is actually to see the soldier's play.

And how the soldier plays, and it is a great test of an excellent general's ability to command on the spot, but the ability to command on the spot is only one of the criteria for whether a general is excellent, and there are actually many standards for an excellent general, such as his strategy, martial arts, and even battle formations and training soldiers, of course, there is another kind, that is, he is not very capable, but he is able to fight with soldiers, love soldiers like sons, and soldiers are willing to work hard for him, such generals are also excellent generals, in fact, in Liu Lan's eyes, What a good manager should look like, just look at Guan Yu, because he fits everything.

And Zhang Xun is relatively lacking in command, or he is actually in several options for an excellent general, very balanced, none of which are prominent, but there is no one aspect that is his shortcoming, such a comprehensive strongman, in fact, he is destined to become such a good general in the world, but at the same time, a general with relatively average ability, no matter who is in anyone's camp, will have a place.

But there is only a place, because of the balance, so he has no specialty of his own, as if Guan Yu meets everything, in fact, it seems to be very average, but he has the ability to match no one in the world in terms of battle formation deduction and formation, and this is his specialty, and Zhang Xun, who has a very high degree of similarity, is much more mediocre compared to it.

At this time, when Shou Chunjun and Cao Jun were inseparable, in fact, this considered the ability of a general to command on the spot, that is to say, an excellent general needs the ability to capture fighters and smell danger at such a time, and Zhang Xun not only does not have the ability to capture fighters, but also does not have the ability to smell danger.

It's like playing chess, you take one step, and the opponent already knows the result of the next three moves, how can he not catch the fighter plane, and will not perceive the danger?

And this, Xiahoudun is very experienced, if this kind of battle continues, then in the end the Cao army will definitely be defeated, the best result now is to grasp the fighter plane and retreat calmly, this is the best result for the Cao army now, otherwise they will really be completely surrounded.

Xiahoudun smelled the danger that might happen in the future, and made adjustments in time, but Zhang Xun, as an opponent, did not smell the fighter, so it was natural that everything that Xiahoudun envisioned would go on next.

Zhang Xun has always agreed with a concept, strong strength and more troops do not mean that they will win, on the contrary, weak strength and less troops do not mean that there is no possibility of winning, strength is strength, victory or defeat is victory or defeat, these are two concepts, because there are too many variables on the battlefield, the strong will defeat the weak, but the weak will also defeat the strong.
