Volume IV Enthronement Chapter 18 Usage

Hou Shang stood in front of the door, stretched out his head to look inside, and saw the inside of the crested village: in the thick smoke, he could vaguely see corpses all over the ground, both human and horse. (*UC e-book*Chinese Net*Superspeed Update Latest Chapter*) finally the smoke gradually dissipated, and Xia Houshang finally saw clearly that on the road that was not too wide facing the Crested Zhaizhai Gate, the corpses of the tiger and leopard knights were lying horizontally. Some of the corpses were still rolling blood out of them, and the ground around them was stained dark brown.

The crested village was silent, except for the crackling sound of some firewood burning, there was no other sound, no shouting of killing, no clashing of weapons, and no groans of pain.

In the middle of the road, a broken flag was planted on the ground alone, fluttering slightly in the wind, and only half of the word "Hou" in "Xiahou" on it was left. Did a war horse next to him fall to the ground sideways, did he exhale a breath of hot air.

The fire in the trench in the distance had not yet been completely extinguished, and puffs of green smoke rose from inside, and a gust of wind blew, and the smell of roasted meat filled the air. However, at this time, Xiahou Shang smelled this smell, but he felt very disgusted, because anyone can figure out what kind of meat is emitted from this smell of meat in the air.

Looking at the banner that was still shaking in the middle of the road, Xiahou Shang knew that this Xiahou Ba must have failed, and the whole army was annihilated.

A leading general, unless it is the last soldier, otherwise he will never drop his flag, not to mention that now Xiahou Ba is the main general, his banner is not just a banner with a surname written on it, but also where the heart of the army is solidified, as long as the banner of Xiahou Ba is still there, the soldiers know that the main general is still there. But now that the banner of this Xiahou hegemony is planted here alone, it seems that this Xiahou hegemony must be wiped out.

"General, shall we rush in?" The little colonel next to him asked.

Xiahou Shang was stunned, all this in front of him had already suppressed Xiahou Shang. And Xiahou Shang himself is also the kind of reckless person, in the face of this situation, Xiahou Shang's brain is unusually quiet. Speaking of which, the six hundred tigers and leopards that Xiahou Badi brought in were not mediocre, and the crested village was able to eat the six hundred tigers and leopards, and it only took such a short time, whether it was a strategy or a head-to-head battle, since it was able to kill the six hundred tigers and leopards, it showed that the strength of the crested village was strong.

Looking at the less than 200 soldiers around him, Xiahou Shang shook his teeth, although Xiahou Shang also wanted to rush in to find out, but thinking about it, since the crested village was able to kill the 600 people brought in by Xiahou Ba, then his 200 people were definitely not his opponents, and they would only be sent to death if they entered.

I saw that Xiahou Shang breathed a sigh of helplessness and said: "Order, retreat immediately, let's go find reinforcements!" ”

……

Niu Dameng hurried to Adou's approach. He said, "Childe." That Xiahou Shang has withdrawn! ”

Adou nodded: "Since this Xiahou Shang has retreated." Then let's remove all the original arrangements. And also. Go and clean up the battlefield. Where it should be, stay. Burn it without touching the ground! ”

As soon as I heard about cleaning the battlefield. Niu Dameng's eyes lit up. patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Childe." I'll leave that to me. This kind of thing is so fierce that I can catch it! ”

"Childe. What should that Xiahou Ba do? Do you want to kill him? Xiang Fei next to him said.

This Xiahou Ba was captured by Adou. But Adou wasn't ready to kill him. Xiahou Ba is the son of Xiahou Yuandi. And Zhang Fei is married to Xiahou Yuandi's daughter. So this Xiahou Ba should be Zhang Feidi's brother-in-law. And it is Zhang Fei's daughter's uncle Xingcaidi. If it is according to historical records. This enclave daughter will be her future daughter-in-law. So in this way, Xiahou Ba can also be regarded as his uncle. By virtue of this. Adou was embarrassed to kill Xiahou Ba. Who told the two of them to be a little bit of a relative!

And later Sima killed Cao Shuang and controlled the government, this Xiahou Ba surrendered to Shu Han because he was afraid of Sima Shi, and he made many achievements in Jiang Wei's war against Wei, and he can be regarded as a strong general, such a person, it is much more useful to let go than to kill, but it can become a help to fight Sima Yi in the future.

But just let go of Xiahouba in vain, Adou felt a little unwilling in his heart, he was a hospital general, and he felt a little bit less loss when he let go of Adou.

"Hey, look at the war horses that these tigers and leopards are riding, all of them are Youzhou war horses, which are much stronger than those skinny horses in our village!" I saw a few minions in the distance walking over with an uninjured war horse.

"But isn't it, just the few horses in our village, no matter how you feed them, you can't get fat anymore, you look at these Youzhou horses, it's really incomparable, this time we're rich!"

Adou in the distance heard the voices of several minions, suddenly rolled his eyes, and thought about it, so he opened his mouth and said to Xiang Fei: "Tie up this Xiahou Ba first and take strict care of it, but don't be embarrassed by him, this Xiahou Ba, I still have a lot of use!" ”

After a while, Jin Mo walked over, still holding a booklet in his hand. Jin Mo came to Adou and said: "Childe, the results of the battle have been counted, Xiahou Ba has 621 people, and 620 people have been killed, except for Xiahou Ba, all the people who rushed in were beheaded. Thirty-three people were killed and 27 were seriously wounded, and none of the minor injuries were counted. ”

Adou nodded, killed and seriously wounded, a total of sixty people were reduced, but more than six hundred enemies were killed, and it was an excellent unit like the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, no matter who looked at it, this should be regarded as a great victory. And Xiang Fei and the others next to him were already full of joy after hearing the news, everyone knew that if there was no Adou's plan, I am afraid that the loss of this battle would be on the side of Fengtou Mountain. Now everyone is convinced of Adou.

But Adou knew that there was a lot of luck in this victory. First of all, Xiahou Ba was too careless, and after arriving at Fengtou Village, he did not let the soldiers of the tiger and leopard riding rest, so he directly began to attack Fengtou Village. After half a day's journey, the physical strength of this group of tigers and leopard cavalry soldiers, whether it was a man or a horse, was very exertional, and it was wrong to immediately join the battle at this time, and it would be wrong to be able to wield seventy percent of the combat strength. But the gang of bandits in the Crested Mountains have been recuperating and resting well.

Another point is the gap in equipment between the two sides. If there is a battle on the flat ground, not to mention that there are only 300 people in this crested village, even if it is 3,000 people, it is not necessarily the opponent of these 800 tigers and leopards. Therefore, Adou will deliberately put the battlefield in a relatively narrow place, forcing the tiger and leopard cavalry to fight hand-to-hand combat with his own side, due to the narrow place, the cavalry long weapon of the tiger and leopard cavalry can not be wielded, and the infantry combat equipment, bandit Pu knife and thick armor occupy a huge advantage.

Also

Thank you to that mysterious Mr. Qiu. You must know that this crested village is this hate, especially after entering the door, there are two rows of houses on the left and right, and you can see the whole road from a high vantage point, such a terrain is extremely advantageous for archers. Although there were only seventy or eighty half-hung archers in Crested Village, with the advantage of the terrain, the two armies had not yet met in short arms, and these seventy or eighty archers also killed two hundred tiger and leopard cavalry. However, in the past few years, thousands of arrows have been stored in this crested mountain, and they have also been consumed by these seventy or eighty half-hung archers.

I only heard Jin Mo's report: "Our army has captured one hundred and five war horses. There are more than 600 long and short weapons of all kinds. ”

Hearing this, Adou smiled slightly, these more than 100 war horses are good things, which can greatly improve the mobility of soldiers, and it is still very useful for evading the pursuit and interception of Cao Cao's army.

Of course, many of the more than 100 war horses were slightly injured, but the impact was not too great. After all, in such a fierce battle, it is impossible for the war horse to be undamaged, and it has been a surprise to be able to capture more than a hundred war horses that can still be used. As for the other seriously injured horses, Adou didn't have so much time to heal, just to add food to the brothers on the mountain in the evening.

……

That night, the gang of bandits from Crested Mountain gathered to celebrate the day's victory.

Xiahou Ba stayed in a room, his hands were tied behind his back, and he sat in the corner, the laughter of the bandits outside came from time to time, and the aroma of wine and meat kept wafting over, but Xiahou Ba's heart was dripping blood, and the elite soldiers of the six hundred tiger and leopard riders were all buried in his hands.

At this moment, a minus walked in from the outside, staggering in with a body of wine, Xiahouba raised his head, and now this minus was still holding a clay bowl in his hand, and there was a piece of meat in the bowl. This minion came to Xiahou Ba, put the bowl on the ground, then grabbed the meat and stuffed it into Xiahou Ba's mouth. At the same time, the minion still nagged indistinctly: "Eat it, this is the best horse meat, you can't usually eat it!" If it weren't for our big village master saying that he couldn't starve you, how could you have such good meat to eat! ”

Hearing this say that this was horse meat, Xiahouba's face changed, and he spit out the meat in his mouth violently. Xiahou Ba naturally knew that this horse meat was cut from the war horses where the tiger and leopard rode on the ground, and where could Xiahou Ba eat such meat.

"Hmph, toast without eating and drinking!" He snorted coldly, then kicked Xiahou Ba, turned around and walked out.

Xiahouba silently took this kick, speaking of which, where has Xiahouba suffered this kind of treatment in his life, and now he is a shrimp play in Longyou Shoal, and a tiger in Pingyang is bullied by dogs. At this time, although Xiahou Ba felt uncomfortable in his heart, he had to grit his teeth and endure it.

Suddenly, Xiahou Ba's eyes fell on the pottery bowl on the ground, Xiahou Ba's eyes lit up, and then he looked around, listened carefully, and made sure that the minion had gone away just now, and then moved towards the pottery bowl hard, and then saw Xiahou Ba's feet slammed, and the pottery bowl was smashed.

Xiahou Ba continued to move his body with difficulty, and after some effort, the hands that were tied up finally grabbed a fragment of a pottery bowl, and then Xiahou Ba slowly used the fragments to grind the rope that tied him.

Because his hands were tied behind his back, he couldn't flexibly use the fragment and control the strength, so from time to time, the fragment of this pottery bowl would always pierce Xiahou Ba's hand, and blood dripped from Xiahou Ba's hand, especially when the wound rubbed against the hemp rope that tied him, and the pain was even more unbearable, but this Xiahou Ba still clenched his teeth and slowly grinded the rope.

The blood had dyed the rope red, but at the same time, the rope was getting thinner and thinner, and finally, Xiahou Ba felt that the rope was getting looser and looser, and then Xiahou Ba held the rope violently, and finally broke the rope. With his hands free, the next thing was much easier, Xiahou Ba cut the rope on his feet with a broken pottery shard, and then stood up.

has been tied up for such a long time, and Xiahou Ba is somewhat numb. Xiahou Ba hurriedly moved his hands and feet to dredge the blood, and then leaned towards the door.

What made Xiahou Ba happy was that there was not even a guard outside his house!

Xiahou Ba looked around carefully again, making sure that there was no one guarding him, and he couldn't help but feel relieved. Then Xiahou Ba quietly walked out, only to find that all the people were celebrating the great victory during the day, and they were drinking and eating meat together.

Xiahou Ba secretly said in his heart, this robber is a robber, and he really has no military discipline at all, and he was all dazed at the slightest victory, and they all celebrated together, and the defense was so lax that they didn't even care about guarding the camp. However, this is exactly what Xiahou Ba wants, and it is much easier to escape.

I saw Xiahou Ba bowing down, avoiding the light of the torches, and taking advantage of the night, leaning against the wall and walking outside the crested village. Finally, Xiahouba came to the edge of the two rows of houses in front of the door, at this time Xiahouba looked from afar, the gate of the crested village was not far away, and more than a dozen torches were inserted around the whole gate, illuminating the gate around the gate as if it was daytime, and in the sentry tower mountain on the wall of the crested village, several torches were shaking, and people could be vaguely seen there.

Xiahou Ba frowned, this is far away from the ground, although it is dark now, but there are so many torches at the gate of this big village, shining so brightly, if he passes from there, the blind man can see himself.

But fortunately, during the day, Xiahou Ba damaged the gate of Crested Village when he attacked the place, and it has not been repaired yet, so there is no gate to block him now, if there is still a gate to block the way, then it is impossible for Xiahou Ba to escape.

Xiahouba hesitated for a moment, calculated the distance to the gate, and finally, Xiahouba decided to take a gamble, only to see Xiahouba clinging to the root of the wall, leaning sideways, like a crab towards the gate of the village.

Finally, the distance was getting closer and closer, and Xiahou Ba's speed was getting faster and faster, and at the moment he entered the range of firelight, Xiahou Ba suddenly stood up straight, increased his speed to the extreme in an instant, and then rushed towards the gate. At the same time, the corner of Xiahou Ba's eyes swept towards the sentry tower.

I saw a sentry standing on the sentry tower, dozing off with a big wine jar, Xiahou Ba secretly screamed, God help me, and immediately accelerated out of the crested village, and rushed away without looking back.

As Xiahou Ba ran out, the soldiers who were dozing off on the sentry tower suddenly opened their eyes, and then looked at Xiahou Ba, who was fleeing evil in the distance, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

……

After Xiahou Ba got out of the crested village, he immediately ran desperately, and in the night sky, Xiahou Ba couldn't discern the direction, so he only knew to run along the road. Now Xiahou Ba has no horses, only relying on two legs, and the bandits in the crested village have captured a lot of war horses, so Xiahou Ba understands, if it is

While the people of the crested village have not yet appeared, they will run faster and farther away, and they will definitely be caught back.

Gradually, Xiahou Ba felt that his feet were getting heavier and heavier, the frequency of his steps was getting slower and slower, a trace of soreness came from his legs, and at the same time, his stomach began to growl. Xiahou Ba then remembered that he hadn't eaten for a day, and he had gone through such a big battle during the day, and his physical strength had been consumed a lot, plus the rush just now, Xiahou Badi's physical strength was basically gone.

Xiahou Ba sat on the side of the road, panting heavily, recovering his strength, a wave of hunger came from his abdomen, at this time Xiahou Ba even regretted a little, how good it would have been if he had eaten that piece of horse meat just now, at least now he still has the strength to run farther.

At this moment, a noisy sound of horses' hooves came from the front, Xiahouba at this time was already a frightened bird, the slightest movement was enough to make Xiahouba worried, this horse's hooves made Xiahouba panic in his heart, only to see Xiahouba hurriedly turn over and run into the grass behind.

Soon after, about a dozen horsemen galloped over, and Xiahou Ba could vaguely see that the people riding horses were definitely not soldiers riding tigers and leopards, and around here, there were people who could ride horses, except for tigers and leopards riding, only the bandits of this crested mountain, and it seemed that the thieves in front of him were the bandits of the crested mountain!

Xiahou Ba thought to himself, if he was found by these bandits, he would definitely catch himself back, if Xiahou Ba was able to resist for a while, but with his current state of weakness in his limbs, he couldn't compete with the bandits at all. Thinking of this, Xiahou Ba hurriedly shrank his neck, lying on the ground and not daring to move, and at the same time silently prayed in his heart that these bandits would not show themselves and pass by him as soon as possible.

But this god seemed to be teasing Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Ba hoped that these cavalry would hurry over, but it backfired, only to see that these cavalry came to Xiahou Ba's hiding place close to Xiahou Ba, instead of leaving quickly, they stopped.

Seeing these cavalry stop, Xiahou Ba's heart tightened, could it be that this group of people showed themselves? All of a sudden, Xiahou Ba's heart was about to rise to his throat, and at the same time, beads of sweat the size of beans poured out of Xiahou Ba's head.

"Childe, we have already explored a radius of dozens of miles, and there is still no figure of the remaining tiger and leopard riding, it seems that Xiahou Shang ran back with the remaining tiger and leopard riding!" Listen to only one of the knights.

Hearing the title of "Childe", Xiahou Ba's heart tightened, isn't that Liu Chan here? Thinking of this, Xiahou Ba secretly raised his head, and then rolled his eyelids upwards to look, only to see several knights in front of him, and Liu Chan was really among them. And the one who just spoke was the person who set fire to the trench ground, it was Jin Mo.

At this time, Adou nodded, and said with an excuse: "You are right, this Xiahou Shang really ran away." But this time we were able to win, thanks to Cao Zhangdi's help! ”

Xiahou Ba in the grass felt a tight heart, isn't Cao Zhang's son Cao Cao, and now he is guarding in Youzhou, what does it have to do with this Liu Chan?

Jin Mo excused himself and said: "Childe, this Cao Zhang didn't make any effort, he just gave us some bows and arrows, isn't this victory because Childe commanded properly and the brothers worked hard?" ”

Hearing this, Xiahou Ba understood, no wonder this crested mountain bandit was so well equipped, it turned out to be related to Cao Zhang!

"Childe, now that we have beaten away the tiger and leopard rider, what should we do next?" Jin Mo asked.

"Of course, I'm going to mess up this Runan!" Adou opened his mouth and said: "Send someone to Youzhou to tell Cao Zhang, we will help him mix this Runan into a pot of porridge, and if Cao sends someone to pay the fee, it will be up to him whether he can capture Xu Du!" ”

In the grass, Xiahou Ba's heart tightened, and he roughly depicted some facts in his mind. This crested village and Cao Zhang have long colluded, this crested village is responsible for disturbing Runan, Runan is very close to Xu, if this Runan is in chaos, Cao will inevitably send people to suppress it, then Xu Du is empty, if Cao Zhang of Youzhou and 200,000 iron horsemen from Youzhou and the two states go south, you can reach Xudu in a few days, at that time, Xudu's army is in Runan, Cao has no power to fight back!

Unexpectedly, this crested village was actually involved in the battle between Cao and Cao Zhang! That's a big deal.

Suddenly, Xiahou Ba had a question, what good would this do to Liu Chan?

At this time, this Jin Mo also asked: "Childe, let's help that Cao Zhang like this, but that Cao Zhang may not appreciate it, if Cao Zhang occupies Xu Du, he will definitely come to Runan to exterminate us, it will not be good for us!" ”

Adou smiled and said: "Who said that we are no good, now that Cao Zhang doesn't know that I am on this Fengtou Mountain, he thinks that he is still a robber from Runan Fengtou Mountain who cooperates with him." If this Cao Zhang knew that I was in Fengtou Village, I am afraid he would not cooperate with us. Therefore, we must disturb the situation in Runan as soon as possible, as long as we wait until this Cao army arrives in Runan, we will send someone to send a letter to tell Cao that Cao Zhang has led troops from Youzhou to kill, and at that time Cao must immediately order Runan's troops to return to help Xudu, and then this Cao and Cao Zhang will fight.

If the two of them fight, the Cao army will be chaotic, and we can see the opportunity to return to Shuzhong while the chaos is in chaos! If this Cao army is not chaotic, with our little strength, how can we break through the layers of Cao army's interception and return to Shuzhong! ”

"Childe is really clever!" Jin Mo suddenly realized.

At this time, Xiahou Ba in the grass also understood that this Liu Chan's good plan deliberately provoked the Cao and Cao Zhang brothers to fight, and then he could take advantage of the chaos to escape back to Shu, maybe at that time, he would cooperate with Liu Bei's army to go out of Shu, and this Yongliang Erzhou would be dangerous!

"Childe, let's go, the brothers are still waiting for us in the village!"

"Okay, let's go!" Adou shouted, patted the horse and walked towards the crested village.

Not long after Adou and the others left, Xiahou stood up violently in the grass and rushed towards the other side.

……

Soon, Adou and Jin Mo returned to Fengtou Village.

"Childe is really clever, this Xiahou Ba has unknowingly fallen for our discordant plan!" Saying this, Jin Mo opened his mouth and laughed.

"Yes, then Xiahouba still thought that they were now us, presumably now Xiahouba has thought that he has a plan, and went back to report to Cao......"
