Chapter 40 Kill Xiahou and take Mount Tai

"Lord, the spies have sent news that Xiahoudun has appeared on Mount Tai."

"Huh?!" Xiang Ao was slightly stunned, and then laughed and said: "Hahaha, it seems that Wenhe's strategy has succeeded, and Puyang has been down." ”

Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, and said a little puzzled: "Lord, Mr. Wenhe has woken up?" ”

"Well, wake up." Xiang Ao nodded with a chuckle and said, "I woke up a few days ago." ”

"In this way, at this time on the Puyang battlefield, is Mr. Wenhe in command?"

Xiang Ao nodded and continued: "That's nature. Otherwise, with Zhongda's conservative mentality, how could it be possible to take Puyang in such a short period of time? ”

"How can the lord be sure that Xiahoudun came to the Taishan battlefield alone?"

Xiang Ao smiled faintly and said: "Xiahoudun came to Mount Tai, I'm afraid it wasn't sent by Cao Cao, and it was impossible to lead the army here." ”

"How so?"

"Simple, Wen He didn't fly the pigeon in advance."

"Huh?!" Tian Feng was stunned again, and asked with a confused expression: "Rushing from Puyang to Mount Tai, even if it is an eight-hundred-mile urgent report, it is impossible to deliver the news without seven or eight days." What's more, the time when Xiahoudun set off from Puyang to come to Mount Tai cannot be determined for the time being. ”

Xiang Ao smiled faintly, waved his hand and said: "The specific details are not clear to Yuan Hao for the time being, and after Yuan Hao breaks through the innate nature, Yuan Hao will understand." ”

"Break through the innate ? Minister? ”

Xiang Ao nodded, didn't explain much, turned around and ordered Dian Wei, who was standing like a stake behind him: "Order General Ma Chao to launch a fierce attack on Xuzhou." ”

"In order to send the soldiers under the command of this king, tomorrow, to launch an attack on Mount Tai."

"No!"

Dian Wei clenched his fists and took the order, and slowly walked out of the military tent.

Tian Feng has become more and more curious about the so-called innate in the past two days. Since Dian Wei broke through and appeared in front of everyone, except for the same tiger body as before, it seems to be no different from before, but the terrifying killing intent and unrivaled momentum on Dian Wei's body have all disappeared, and he looks like an ordinary person.

But between Xiang Ao's words, it was revealed that whether it was a military general or a strategist, after breaking through the innate one, there seemed to be a big difference.

Xiang Ao didn't say anything, and Tian Feng didn't want to ask too much, so he focused his attention on the map again, and began to discuss with Xiang Ao the policy and countermeasures for attacking Mount Tai.

The arrival of Xiahoudun made Cao Cao's force rise sharply above Mount Tai. After discovering that Xiang Ao's army under the mountain began to move, Cao Cao even had some expectations in his heart.

"Lord, it's better to give up Mount Tai and pull the battle line back." Xiahoudun didn't want to give up and continued to persuade Cao Cao.

Cao Cao glanced at Xiahoudun with dissatisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "What's the use of shortening the battle line? Turtle shrunk up and continued to wait for Xiang Ao's army to attack? And then watch the king's territory be encroached on by Xiang Ao little by little? ”

"But my lord..."

"Instead of lingering like this, it is better to fight with Xiang Ao, life and death in an instant." Cao Cao said with a fierce face, and then turned to Guo Jia and instructed: "Feng Xiao, send orders to the three armies, and prepare for war!" ”

"Also, all the equipment that can be used in the mountain and field battles will be brought out by this king. After nightfall, send out soldiers and set traps on top of Mount Tai. Hmph, this king doesn't believe it, Xiang Ao has three heads and six arms, and he can't be killed at all. ”

Although Guo Jia understood Cao Cao's mentality at this time, Cao Cao's decision was indeed a bit reckless.

Perhaps after retreating to Yuzhou, Cao Cao's forces became weaker and weaker, but after closing the defensive line, Sun Ce's army could also cross Xuzhou and directly face Xiang Ao.

As long as Cao Cao and Sun Ce ally properly, they would be able to resist Xiang Ao north of the Huai River and in Jingzhou.

Although Xiang Ao has many fierce generals and ministers, his attitude towards the family has always been a hidden danger under Xiang Ao's rule. And the family problem did not break out, but it was all because Xiang Ao was alone, temporarily dormant and did not resist.

As long as Xiang Ao died, Cao Cao and Sun Ce had a chance to resist.

Even if Xiang Ao can't be killed in front of the battle at this time, as long as Xiang Ao is dragged to death, Cao Cao and Sun Ce's descendants will have a chance.

Having said that, for some reason, Guo Jia was always a little worried in his heart. Guo Jia has always had a voice in his heart telling him that Xiang Ao is not an ordinary person, and he must live longer than ordinary people.

Generally speaking, people who practice martial arts are much stronger than literati or ordinary people, and their lifespan is generally longer than that of ordinary people. But the more martial artists are strong in martial arts, there must be a lot of dark diseases in the body, Xiang Ao is already more than fifty at this time, and there is such a strong body, waiting for Xiang Ao's armor to pass, the dark diseases of the body will inevitably break out.

This is also where Guo Jia has always been lucky. It's just that Guo Jia didn't know that Xiang Ao had already broken through the innate nature. As for Xiang Ao's innate breakthrough, his physiognomy has not changed much, it is entirely because of the rules of this world.

"Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Zhu and other military generals, today must give the king a rest, and after Xiang Ao waving the army up the mountain tomorrow, Xiang Ao must be killed on Mount Tai."

"No!"

A group of generals clenched their fists and received their orders, their faces solemn.

Before Xiang Ao personally led the attack of the army, Xiahou Yuan happened to go to the east of Taishan and led the generals of Xuzhou to arrange the city defense of Xuzhou. After the matter of Xuzhou's city defense was arranged, Xiahou Yuan was naturally transferred back by Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao did not plan to defend in an all-round way. Gather the strongest soldiers and horses and generals under his command, and vow to fight Xiang Ao to the death on Mount Tai.

At this time, under Cao Cao, in addition to the top generals Xiahou Brothers and Xu Zhu, there were more than a dozen first-class and second-rate generals, such as Zhang Min, Zang Ba, Xue Hong, etc., all of whom came to Xiang Ao.

And the information that came back from the mountain, at this time, among Xiang Ao's army, only Xiang Ao, who is known as the first person today, is the first person in the world, and the rest of the generals are no longer by Xiang Ao's side, and the closest is Ma Chao, who is attacking Xuzhou.

Although Ma Chao's force can be stronger than that of the Xiahou brothers, there are also a lot of soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, and it is simple to drag Ma Chao down.

The next day, with both sides prepared, Xiang Ao's reckless army launched the most ferocious attack on Mount Tai.

"Xiang Ao! Again, this king dares to come out and take this king's life! ”

After the battle between the two armies, Cao Cao did not retreat in the rear of the army, but surrounded by the Xiahou brothers and Xu Zhu, he kept yelling and provoking Xiang Ao, trying to let Xiang Ao fight.

Xiang Ao's plan was originally to take Cao Cao's head, and after hearing Cao Cao's shout, he naturally did not hesitate.

"Hahaha... Don't you want Brother Meng De to still have such courage, aren't you afraid that this king will kill Brother Meng De in front of the battle? Xiang Ao shouted loudly and rode his horse out of the military formation.

"Haha... When has Brother Feng Yuan seen who this king is afraid of? ”

"That's great!" Xiang Ao shot away several Cao soldiers in front of him, shook his spear, and pointed at Cao Cao, who was only ten zhang away from him, and shouted: "Come on!" ”

"Kill!" Cao Cao shouted, the Qingyu sword in his hand slapped the horse's ass, the war horse was in pain, and with a long roar, he galloped away in the direction of Xiang Ao.

Brother Xiahou and Xu Zhu did not hesitate, followed closely, and danced the weapons in their hands one after another, attacking Xiang Ao.

"Humph! Want to fight more and outnumber? Dian Wei waved the halberd in both hands and rushed towards Xiang Ao's side on foot, intending to fight the enemy with Xiang Ao.

"Black man, the battlefield is here!" On the battlefield, there was a sudden burst of cheers, and more than a dozen generals rushed out, intercepting Dian Wei, who had not had time to rush to Xiang Ao's side.

"Humph! A swarm of ants. Dian Wei snorted disdainfully, without the slightest hint of worry for Xiang Ao, turned around and rushed towards more than a dozen generals.

Guo Jia frowned after the battle, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more solemn.

"Kill!" Xiang Ao, who was already full of beards, shouted loudly and rushed towards Cao Cao, who was surrounded by the Xiahou brothers and Xu Zhu.

Xiang Ao's speed was very fast, and he suddenly attacked in front of Cao Cao in the blink of an eye. Xu Zhu on the side jumped up from the horse, with a chilling murderous aura, from top to bottom, a pick, slashed at Xiang Ao's head, and shouted: "Xiang Ao is killed!" ”

Hum! Xiang Ao snorted, pulled the reins of the horse with his left hand, and the war horse deviated from the angle, leaning over to miss Xu Zhu's attack.

The war horse staggered by, and the meteorite spear in Xiang Ao's hand shook and swept towards Xu Zhu's waist.

"Kill!"

With a burst of applause, the meteorite spear in Xiang Ao's hand glowed with fluorescent light, and quickly approached Xu Zhu's waist.

"Whoa!!" With a muffled sound, Xiang Ao's spear had not yet slashed Xu Zhu's waist, and an arrow shot at the head of Xiang Ao's spear with the momentum of thunder.

There was a loud bang, and Xiang Ao's meteoric iron spear was shaken apart. Xiang Ao took advantage of the situation to lift the reins of the horse again and turned around with the war horse. Xiang Ao, who turned around, did not stop, and the meteorite spear in his hand probed and stabbed Xu Zhu, who had already withdrawn his offensive on the ground.

Xu Zhu's brows tightened, and the spear in his hand probed, strangled with Xiang Ao's meteorite spear.

"Kill!" With another burst of shouting, Xiahoudun rode up, brandished a long knife, and slashed at the hind legs of the war horse under Xiang Ao's crotch.

Seeing this, Mu Jinglu frowned slightly, his legs lightly clamped the horse's belly, the war horse understood, jumped in place, crossed Xu Zhu stiffly, and killed Cao Cao behind Xu Zhu.

Xiahou Yuan, who was beside Cao Cao, changed his face greatly, pulled the reins of the horse violently, rushed to Cao Cao, raised the spear in his hand and stabbed at the war horse under Xiang Ao's crotch in the air.

Xiahou Yuan stabbed at the same time, and said to Cao Cao in a deep voice: "Lord, quickly retreat to the camp, and Xiang Ao will hand it over to the ministers and others to deal with." ”

Xiahou Yuan knew that Xiang Ao's martial arts were extraordinary, and he was born with divine power, and he knew that he was not Xiang Ao's opponent, so he shot at Xiang Ao's crotch.

Xiahou Yuan didn't expect that Xiang Ao would still have the strength to attack Cao Cao in the rear under the combined attack of Xu Zhu and Xiahoudun.

As a result, Xiahou Yuan did not dare to let Cao Cao participate in the battle between the three of them and Xiang Ao again.

Although Cao Cao wanted to cut Xiang Ao in front of the horse with his own hands, the power between Xiang Ao's attack and defense made Cao Cao dare not hold it up.

After Xiahou Yuan stopped Xiang Ao, he quickly withdrew and retreated into the middle of the army.

"Let's get on it!" Xiahou Yuan whispered softly, reminding Xu Zhu and Xiahou Yuan.

After Xiahou Yuan stepped forward first, Xu Zhu and Xiahou Yuan glanced at each other and followed closely.

"It's good!" Xiang Ao did not have the slightest fear, and even seemed a little excited, and after a loud shout, he did not retreat but advanced, and launched a fierce attack on Xu Zhu and the others.

Without Cao Cao's influence, whether it was Xiang Ao or Xiahou Yuan, the three of them all calmed down and concentrated on the duel.

The four weapons kept colliding in mid-air, and the four figures kept changing positions, making the fight dazzling.

The surrounding soldiers, whether they were Cao Jun or Yan Jun, did not dare to step forward and rush into the battle group. Especially Xiang Ao's attack. Every swing will carry a fierce murderous aura and gunshot, if one is not careless and is hit by Xiang Ao's gun, he will be seriously injured and fall to the ground, or he will die on the spot.

If the martial arts are not good, it is also possible to be split in half by Xiang Ao. Anyway, it can't help, and all the soldiers are fighting their own battles, trying to make room for their own coach.

Xiang Ao was hot in one dozen and three fights, and Dian Wei here did not fall into the slightest disadvantage by picking up more than a dozen second-rate first-class generals.

After breaking through the innate nature, no matter what difference there is in martial arts, physical strength alone will become very perverted.

In an hour, there were already five or six generals of the Cao army who died under the halberd of Dian Wei, although they were all second-rate generals. Since Dian Wei can take the life of the enemy general under siege, how long can the first-class generals last?

Not only that, in an hour-long battle, Dian Wei did not show the slightest sign of exhaustion, but fought more and more fiercely.

As for the general's soldiers, they were not affected by the fight against their respective generals, and they used their last strength to slash the enemy on the battlefield.

When the exchange rate of the two armies is combined, there is at least a huge army of 150,000 troops, stretching for miles above Mount Tai.

Under the war, there were countless natural casualties, and the blood of the soldiers who died in the general gathered into streams and rivers, and slowly flowed under Mount Tai.

The air of death and evil air permeated the entire Mount Tai, making Mount Tai look very weird.

The scorching sun at noon did not make Mount Tai show vitality, but made the creatures in Mount Tai fearful.

After a long battle, the three people who did not break through the innate were naturally not Xiang Ao's opponents.

Xiang Ao grabbed Xiahoudun's flaw, bullied himself, and without Xu Zhu's spear, which was about to hit his back, he raised the spear in his hand and stabbed it into Xiahoudun's heart.

"Poof!" "Bang!"

A soft bang was followed by a loud bang. Xiang Ao's spear head was inserted into Xiahou Dun's heart, and Xu Zhu's spear also smashed into Xiang Ao's back.

Xiang Ao fiercely pulled out his meteorite spear, rolled over the momentum, flicked his back legs, jumped up, and dodged the heavy blow of Xiahou Yuan, who was following closely and wanted to kill Xiang Ao.

"Brother!" Xiahou Yuan gave up chasing Xiang Ao, reflexively came to Xiahoudun, and picked up Xiahoudun with one hand.

"Miaocai, leave me alone, take the opportunity to kill Xiang Ao." Xiahoudun vomited blood and donated blood, and his chest covered with one hand also kept donating blood.

"Brother!" Looking at the big hole in Xiahoudun's chest, Xiahou Yuan knew that his brother might not be saved.

Xiahou Yuan's eyes were red, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"Miaocai, hurry, kill Xiang Ao." The injury on his chest was too serious, and Xiahoudun's vitality was rapidly draining.

Seeing Xiahoudun's pupils gradually defocused, Xiahou Yuan yelled frantically: "Xiang Aopifu, I want to kill you!" ”

The Xiahou brothers temporarily withdrew from the battlefield, and Xu Zhu's pressure suddenly increased, and he was almost pierced by Xiang Ao's spear several times.

Xiahou Yuan went crazy, without the slightest reason, and picked up his weapon and rushed towards Xiang Ao to kill him.

Xiahou Yuan joined the battlefield again, and indeed shared a lot of pressure. When it came to Xiahou Yuan, who was in a state of madness, he fought in a disorderly manner, which made Xu Zhu's face sink.

"Ah..., Xiang Ao, suffer death!" Under the madness, Xiahou Yuan's momentum skyrocketed, and he was several times more ferocious than before.

"Breakthrough in battle?" Xiang Ao stepped back, glanced at Xiahou Yuan differently, and then chuckled disdainfully: "It's a pity." Even if it breaks through now, it is only half a step innate. ”

Xu Zhu was forced to fall behind outside the battle group, and Xiang Ao naturally found another opportunity to kill Xiahou Yuan.

"Kill!" Xiang Ao roared, stopped the figure of his hind legs, and suddenly attacked Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan, who was in a frenzy, was stunned at first, and then overjoyed. The weapon in his hand kept waving, slashing towards Xiang Ao.

"Humph! Die. When Xiang Ao and Xiahou Yuan were less than two feet away, the corners of Xiang Ao's mouth curled, and he raised the meteorite spear in his hand fiercely, and slashed at Xiahou Yuan, who also had no intention of retreating, with the power of thunder.

Even if Xiang Ao was hit hard by Xu Zhu at this time, Xu Zhu's attack only shook Xiang Ao's internal organs a little, and did not cause substantial damage to Xiang Ao.

Xiang Ao in such a state struck with all his might, how could Xiahou Yuan withstand it?

With a loud bang, the meteorite spear in Xiang Ao's hand easily cut off the weapon in Xiahou Yuan's hand, and then smashed it heavily on Xiahou Yuan's head.

Seeing that Xiahou Yuan was about to be smashed by Xiang Ao, Xiang Ao, who was aggressive, stopped the spear, and the spear stopped on Xiahou Yuan's forehead.

Xu Zhu, who was too late to rescue, saw Xiang Ao stop and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. But without waiting for Xu Zhu's breath to be relieved, Xiahou Yuan's body fell backwards in a daze. And Xu Zhu saw that on the face of Xiahou Yuan, who had fallen, blood had already flowed out of the seven orifices.

Shocked to death??? Xu Zhu looked at Xiang Ao in horror, who was still holding a spear and seemed to be panting slightly.

Could it be that Xiang Ao has been hiding all along? Xu Zhu thought in disbelief, and his body couldn't help but tremble a little.

Xiang Ao, who was panting, suddenly put away his spear, raised his head and looked at Xu Zhu fiercely. The bloodthirsty and crazy eyes frightened Xu Zhu so much that he almost jumped.

Xu Zhu was instantly emboldened, turned around, regardless of whether he was friend or foe, kicked at least the soldier off the horse, turned over, and ran away without looking back.

Cao Cao, who was outside the battlefield, never left Xiang Ao's figure with both eyes, and when he saw that the Xiahou brothers were killed by Xiang Ao under the horse in the blink of an eye, Cao Cao's whole body went weak and collapsed behind him.

"Lord, hurry up and withdraw your troops!" Guo Jia stepped forward to support Cao Cao, and his voice was also a little trembling.

Cao Cao laughed bitterly: "Hahaha... Withdrawal? Where to retreat? Hahaha..."

"Lord, don't give up, we still have hope." Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao with a determined expression.

Cao Cao raised his head and looked at Guo Jia in confusion and loss. After a while, Cao Cao gritted his teeth fiercely and said in a deep voice: "Withdraw the troops, go to Xuzhou and Chenliu to retreat." ”

"The lord is wise!" Guo Jia shook his face and gave a military order to the guards with a solemn face.
