Xiahou Yuan's cavalry was very brave, and soon after Liu Biaojun's camp was bombed into the sky, they appeared in the periphery, and then there was a bloody charge, killing all the remnants of the defeated soldiers who barely escaped from the sea of fire under the horse, just like that, thousands of cavalry kept sweeping around the two high mountains repeatedly, mixing up the surroundings of Liu Biaojun's camp even more chaotic. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, Cao Ang took 3,000 defenders and another cavalry group of Xiahou Yuan, and began to sweep the enemy army outside the southern city, most of the troops concentrated here were heavy soldiers, and there was no combat power at all, although there were as many as 20,000 people, but they were frightened by the small trebuchet carried by Cao Ang's army all the way, and they could only run around with their heads and brainlessness, and finally Xiahou Yuan's cavalry group charged several times, so that the entire team was shattered, and 20,000 people were completely wiped out on the plain in less than an hour.

Liu Biaojun's camp suffered the most casualties, and it was almost impossible to find a complete corpse in the camp, and outside the camp was also swept by the Xiahou Yuan cavalry, turning into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the escape route stretched for ten miles long, and all kinds of dead corpses could be seen everywhere on the ten-mile boundary, as well as the remnants of soldiers with missing arms and legs.

Yuan Yun rode his old mare and watched all the way, listened all the way, and when he arrived at Liu Biao's camp, it was almost noon, under the strong sunlight, all the tragic conditions were clear at a glance, this place was simply a scorched earth prison, billowing black smoke rose straight into the sky, a strong pungent smell of sulfur and blood mixed in the air, making people completely lose their sense of smell after smelling for a while, but this time Yuan Yun did not vomit, and there was not too much compassion in his heart, the war should be like this, The only thing left now was the billowing smoke from the explosion of black powder.

Shi Shen is still alive, this guy led more than a hundred people to ignite the black powder of Liu Biao's camp, and then frantically fled towards the distant plains, but even so, he was still knocked to the ground by the huge wave of qi, and now he is very embarrassed.

"Water, water, water, Xiaoliu quickly give me the kettle." Shi Shen's voice was a little hoarse, the black ash of his face mixed with dirt almost obscured all of his face, if he couldn't speak, Yuan Yun would definitely treat him like a miner who crawled out of a coal cellar.

After Shi Shen drank a pot of water, Cao Ang had already rushed to the side with Xiahou Yuan and a group of lieutenants on horseback, they just stood on one of the two high mountains, and then calmly overlooked everything in front of them, Cao Ang's black armor had all been dyed with blood, it seems that last night's battle was indeed very fierce, Liu Biao's army was defeated like a mountain, and a group of people chose to flee as soon as they saw their camp being blown up into the sky, not that they didn't want to fight, but there was no order to issue it, The people who could command were basically concentrated in the camp last night, and they were served in a pot in an instant, and the lowly soldiers would only have ghosts if they didn't run away.

Experienced veterans will wisely choose to flee to the north, because they know very well which direction the defenders of Xudu will pursue, and the recruits are not so lucky, they only know to run desperately in the direction of Jingzhou, and then be caught up by the faster Xudu cavalry, followed by a one-sided slaughter.

"Report! The enemy's losses in the battle were more than 50 percent, and now they have long been defeated, and the defeated army in the direction of Jingzhou beheaded 8,000, captured 4,000, and our side lost 300, mainly due to the collective resistance of some deserters. "With the return of a Red Flag Scout, the group got a general idea of the situation.

Xiahou Yuan snorted heavily dissatisfied, and then pointed at the waiter with a horsewhip and shouted: "You can still lose three hundred against a group of deserters, a group of fools, what else is there to call the enemy's battle loss fifty percent, there is no approximate number?" ”

The scout nodded in embarrassment and replied: "This is really not a good statistic, my subordinates have never seen such a miserable battlefield, many corpses can't be gathered at all, and some of them are burned and there are no ashes left, this ...... The general forgives the sin. ”

Xiahou Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood it, just now he glanced at Liu Biaojun's camp, where it was indeed difficult to find a complete corpse, so it was really difficult to count it, so he just waved his hand and sent the scout away, and then shouted to an adjutant general: "Gather all the four thousand captives, kill all those who dare not obey on the spot, and collect all the baggage of the enemy army and transport it back to Xudu." Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then looked at the chaotic Liu Biaojun camp and said: "Send a thousand men and horses to collect all the dead bodies in the vicinity and burn them here, now the sun is still very fierce, if you don't deal with it, there will be a plague in two days." ”

The deputy general gave an order, and then immediately got on the horse and galloped out, Yuan Yun saw that the deputy general's horses were already equipped with stirrups, and he praised it in his heart, Xiahou Yuan's efficiency was quite high, and he equipped 10,000 cavalry with stirrups in such a short time, and because of this, these cavalry could still have the strength to continue chasing the enemy the next day after fighting all night.

When he heard that Xiahou Yuan was going to dispose of those corpses, Yuan Yun wanted to propose to put the corpses of those 10,000 people into the big pit, and then wait for them to rot naturally, so that he could refine a large amount of glycerin, and even make a lot of soap, but then he thought of Xun Yu's sentence. There is a wound to the heavens', he gave up his plan, it is estimated that he really wants to put forward a request to use human corpses to refine things, and he will definitely be defined as a demon existence, in case he is tied up by Xiahou Yuan and burned together, the gain outweighs the loss, thinking that he could have gotten a large amount of glycerin, he could only grit his teeth, and he didn't hear what he did.

Cao Ang had already dismounted at this moment, and then handed over the reins to his own soldiers, and then pointed to the direction of Jingzhou and said: "Liu Biao will not dare to cross the border again for at least five years, and the threat in the direction of Jingzhou can be alleviated in the future." ”

Yuan Yun also jumped off his mount when he heard this, and then suddenly drew a map on the dirt ground, Cao Ang and Xiahou Yuan watched him suddenly draw a picture in front of him, and they both looked at it, and after looking at it for a while, they realized that the other party had drawn a map around Xu Du.

Originally, both of them thought that after Yuan Yun finished painting the surroundings of Xudu, they would continue to draw the direction of Jingzhou, or the direction of Shouchun that Cao Sikong was crusading, but who knew that the dead branch in Yuan Yun's hand was slanted, and he actually drew it towards the southwest, and then nodded fiercely at the end, and then stopped.

"You painted this Wancheng, that's right! It's Wancheng, boy, why are you painting this? Could it be ......" Xiahou Yuan didn't finish speaking, and already looked at Yuan Yun in surprise.

Yuan Yun said with a smile: "Take advantage of his illness to kill him." ”

Cao Ang immediately continued: "Zhang Xiu is not easy to mess with, my father went to crusade against him before, but he didn't get any benefits, is Brother Yun too rash?" ”

Yuan Yun was extremely firm this time, and pointed to the 'Wancheng' on the muddy ground with the dead branch in his hand and said: "Zhang Xiu has excluded the army to cut off Cao Sikong's supply route, the huge plains and mountainous areas, where can we find them, but they can be flexible, and it is impossible for us to exclude the army from searching for them everywhere, instead of chasing Zhang Xiu's ass without a goal like this, let's just end his lair, and then what storm can a lone army set off?" ”

Xiahou Yuan frowned and thought for a while, then patted Yuan Yun's shoulder and said with a smile: "Whether Zhang Xiu really came or not, we are just guessing, and we only have more than 10,000 soldiers now, even if Zhang Xiu left Wancheng with all the cavalry, but his mountain army has more than 10,000 to say the least, it is really nonsense for us to want to break through Wancheng, it is a good thing for young people to have high morale, but it is more prudent to be pragmatic." ”

Yuan Yun nodded, showing an open mind to be taught, but he still said in his mouth: "Zhang Xiu must have left Wancheng, and it is estimated that Cao Sikong's batch of grain and grass has been burned at this moment, and the news will soon be transmitted back to Xu Du, I have absolutely no doubt." Speaking of this, Yuan Yun turned to Cao Ang again, and then continued: "As for whether Wancheng can be broken, I don't think it's really a difficult matter, Brother Cao Ang, you still have half of the black powder in your hand, right?" It's a waste of this thing to be used only to defend the city, if it is used to siege the city...... Hehe, you look at the appearance of Liu Biao's camp, the hill on the opposite side has been blown off in half, is the city gate of Wancheng thicker than this mountain? And I heard a good news from Xu Yi before, he has always wanted to sell our spirits to more places, for the surrounding Wancheng has taken a lot of effort, Zhang Xiu was already short of food, after uniting Liu Biao, although he got some help, but still far from quenching his thirst, so he issued an order to scrape the people of Wancheng, before Wancheng at least more than 400 wealthy households, now there are only more than 20 households left, you can imagine the fierceness of Zhang Xiu's exploitation, These news are all Xu Yi learned when he contacted the merchants here, so if we attack Wancheng, and send people along the way to privately proclaim that we are the king sent by the Son of Heaven to rebel, specifically to rescue the suffering people of Wancheng, when the city wall of Wancheng is broken, maybe those people who hate Zhang Xiu are more fierce than us, such as today's favorable place and people, even if we have occupied, if we don't take Xudu, I am afraid that Cao Sikong will be angry when he returns. ”

Xiahou Yuan didn't speak again, he just began to look at Yuan Yun carefully, the motive for attacking Wancheng was definitely not the temporary intention of this kid in front of him, maybe he had been prepared very early, maybe when he saw that it was Liu Biao's army that attacked Xu Du, or maybe when Liu Biao's army was defeated, but no matter what, it was not a normal thing for a fifteen-year-old boy to be able to plan such a far-reaching thing.

Cao Ang's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement at this moment, he was already moved, Wancheng Zhang Xiu has always been his father's confidant, and now when he thinks that maybe he can take it down, if he is not moved, there will be ghosts. Walking back and forth in place a few times, my heart was churning, after all, this is a big thing, I am responsible for guarding Xu Du, and running to attack Wancheng like this is somewhat rash and abrupt, but if I really let such an opportunity be lost, I am really reluctant.

Looking at Cao Ang's contradictory face, and then looking at the uncertainty in Xiahou Yuan's eyes, Yuan Yun sighed very much about his age, although fifteen years old brought him a lot of convenience, but there was also a factor of not being trusted, so if he really wanted to do something big, he would have a lot of resistance, looking at Xiahou Yuan's expression, he guessed that this guy was more tempting than Cao Ang, but the strategy was made by a fifteen-year-old young man, and it was difficult to accept it if he changed it.

But for myself, I actually just want Xudu to be safer, and many things will have to start from Xudu in the future, plus my relatives are also here, how can I rest assured if I don't clean up the surroundings?

Zhang Xiu will surrender sooner or later, this history is very clear, but is history really credible? Yuan Yun is now full of suspicions, Liu Biaodu has the courage to send 100,000 troops to attack Xu Capital, what else is impossible? So the key is to eliminate all unstable factors! Cao Cao went to crusade against Yuan Shu, Liu Biao was wiped out in Xudu, Yuan Shao is not suitable for provoking now, of course, only to take Zhang Xiu to open the knife, there are too many variables now, waiting for the other party to surrender, it is better to step on it directly to death is more safe and reliable.

"Send troops to Xu Du!" Cao Ang finally finished tangled.
