Chapter 374: Xiahou Dun Falls
Zhang Liao rode over on his horse, and the crescent halberd pointed directly at Xiahoudun and said: "Ben will respect your bravery and give you a chance." Surrender to the Nanyang Army, follow my lord, and ensure that you can continue to fight on the battlefield and make a name for yourself! ”
"Hahaha~" Xiahou looked up to the sky and laughed and said: "If you are me, are you willing to betray your lord and surrender to our army?" ”
Zhang Liao thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No!" The lord is as kind to me as a mountain, and Liao can only repay him with one death, how can he say it! ”
"That being the case, does Zhang Wenyuan still need to talk nonsense?" Xiahoudun said firmly.
Zhang Liao knew that Xiahoudun had made up his mind and was ready to fight to the death, so he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't give you a fair duel to die!" “
"Why? Could it be that Zhang Liao, whom Xiahoudun knew, was a greedy person who was afraid of death? Don't dare to fight a certain battle? Xiahou said excitedly.
"It's not that you don't dare, but you can't! My lord has more important things to do, and I need Ben to rush back to do it! Zhang Liao said slowly.
"Hussar General Ho Xian?" When Xiahoudun heard this, he thought that he was determined to live and die, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes that had no emotional fluctuations.
"He's here too? What does he want to do? You're going to ambush my lord, aren't you? Xiahoudun stepped forward and asked a series of questions, showing the incomparable tension in his heart. Compared with his own death, Xiahoudun was more worried about Cao Cao's safety.
"At this moment, General Xiahou should be more concerned about his life! Ben will ask you one last time, would you like to serve my father-in-law? Zhang Liao asked in a deep voice.
Xiahoudun's complexion changed dramatically, and he took a deep breath and said, "If you can win against me, I will join the Nanyang Army, why do you want to serve!" What do you think? “
Zhang Liao stared at Xiahoudun's eyes, leaned over and sneered: "Xiahoudun, do you know, you really can't lie!" The pained expression on your face, without exception, is stating the fact that you are lying! As you just said, you and Cao Cao are like brothers, and it is impossible for you to surrender to our army. You want to fight me alone, but you just want to delay time and delay my return to help. So as to relieve Cao Cao's pressure. It's a pity that you can't fool anyone, not even me! “
After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he turned around and left, no longer interested in talking nonsense with Xiahou Dian.
"Zhang Liao, you timid as a mouse! If you have the ability, you will kill your grandfather and me in a dignified manner? You see if I'm going to frown! Seeing that the plan to surrender failed, Xiahoudun scolded loudly.
"General, do you want the last general to come on the battlefield and ask you to kill this defeated general?" A junior colonel of the Bingzhou Army saw that Xiahou dared to insult Zhang Liao, and immediately took the initiative to ask Ying to be angry for Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao glanced at the colonel coldly, ignored it, and instructed the guards: "Prepare the bow and arrow, shoot all the staff, and leave no one alive!" “
"No!" The guards immediately organized the surrounding light cavalry squads, took out their bows and arrows, and launched a siege against the besieged Xiahoudun and his hundreds of personal guards. Xiahoudun wielded the unicorn tooth gun and persevered to the end, wearing more than 20 arrows, and almost all the blood on his body flowed, Xiahoudun held the unicorn tooth gun, opened his eyes angrily, and swallowed the last breath of his life.
"This is a respectable opponent and we should give him the bare minimum of courtesy! Take away Xiahoudun's unicorn tooth gun, bury his body on the spot, and set up a tombstone to write the tomb of General Xiahoudun of the Han Dynasty! After giving these orders, Zhang Liao led his guards and began to gather the Bingzhou flying cavalry that were scattered because of the pursuit of Xiahoudun. The mission here has been successfully completed, and the state flying horse is about to rush to the next battlefield.
……
"Big brother, is that army just now the Nanyang Army?" In the city of Luxian, Sun Guan and Zang Ba, as well as thousands of Xuzhou soldiers under their command, watched an extremely wonderful offensive and defensive battle. The two sides of the duel, He Xian's Nanyang army and Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, were both well-trained elite soldiers recognized by the world. As a result, the Nanyang army defeated the outnumbered Yanzhou army in a devastating manner. Whether it is the cavalry tactics of the light cavalry commanding the arm, or the indomitable destruction tactics of the heavy cavalry, they have left a heavy impression on Xuzhou on the city wall. Prior to this, Sun Guan had always been one of the elite soldiers in the world under the thousands of Xuzhou soldiers under the command of Zang Ba, but after witnessing today's battle, Sun Guan felt like a toad sitting in the well and watching the sky, and he had never seen the size of the world at all, let alone what kind of army could be called the elite of the world.
Facing Sun Guan's question that he had no nutrition, Zang Ba nodded and said: "It is the Bingzhou Flying Cavalry under the Nanyang Army, and the leader will be Zhang Liao, the general of Nanzhonglang!" “
After speaking, Zang Ba took a deep breath and exhaled it again, soothing the depression in his heart. As the commander of the army, the heavy cavalry of the state gave him great psychological pressure. In the process of watching the battle, Zang Ba kept thinking, how would he deal with it if he was against the people who were remounted by the state? The result of his thinking made Zang Ba very discouraged, he believed that in the field, in the frontal battlefield duel, no class could withstand the impact of heavy cavalry. The only way to deal with the heavy cavalry is to direct the battlefield to a specific area. For example, digging some hidden trenches in the middle of the battlefield, setting up heavy antlers in front of the army, or having a sufficient number of large crossbows. Only in this way can these monsters shrouded in steel be defeated.
"This heavy armored cavalry is really powerful!" Sun Guan muttered to himself, "Big brother, do you think we can form such a heavy cavalry?" “
"Dreaming!" Zang Ba shattered Sun Guan's dream without hesitation, and said, "Just these five hundred iron pimple war horses and equipment are enough for you to arm an ordinary infantry of 10,000 people!" “
"Good boy! What kind of army is this? This is clearly a moving mountain of gold! No wonder they all say that Nanyang is so rich. Only a place rich enough can afford to arm such a luxurious army! Sun Guan said with envy from the bottom of his heart.
You're right! Being able to arm such a heavy cavalry shows that the Nanyang Army has enough accumulation in the supply of military horses, the smelting of iron armor, and the training of soldiers. This is the root cause of Cao Jun's defeat in this battle. These are all manifestations of strength. It is beyond the reach of other local forces! “
"Big brother, so we will all be part of the Nanyang Army in the future?" Sun Guan suddenly became happy, the Nanyang reinforcements arrived, the Cao army was defeated and retreated, is Xuzhou about to be included in the rule of the Nanyang army?
"Don't be too happy, you kid! The hussar general hasn't said he's going to accept us yet! Zang Ba poured cold water on Sun Guan.
"Impossible!" Sun Guan was unconvinced: "Although the county soldiers transferred by the state pastor are a bit of a nest, but the thousands of brothers in our own house are all well-known men!" Danyang is also a strong army in the world, although there is a gap between it and the Bingzhou flying horse, but it can be on par with Cao Jun? The most important thing is to have the eldest brother, you, a general who is both civil and military. How did the hussar generals turn a blind eye? Abandon such a strong army and ignore it? “
As the two were talking, there was another rush of horns in the sky. There, is there another big war going on?
