In the midst of the chaos, Hua Xiong fought Han Dang for less than three rounds, and Han Dang's left arm was cut by the tip of the knife, and blood oozed out, staining his green robe red.

"Tsk! Huaxiong's martial arts are really not to be underestimated. Han Dang suffered a loss, his face turned blue, and he said secretly.

The combustible things in the Huaxiong camp were almost burned out, and the fire began to turn from prosperity to decline. Han Dang knew in his heart that he was not Hua Xiong's opponent as a good archer, and Hua Xiong's strength was definitely not boasted, but he also knew in his heart that Sun Jian and Sun Ce's two military horses were moving closer here, and they could reach it with the skill of speaking. So, Han Dang began to deliberately slow down his movements.

Although Hua Xiong is inferior to others in terms of strategy, he is superior in martial arts, he saw that Han Dang not only did not leave after being injured, but continued to fight with him alone, and saw the way and position of the move, they did not seek to win, and there was a great intention to delay time, and he also understood what was going on in his heart.

At that moment, Hua Xiong swung his knife to slash, which frightened Han Dang and took a few steps back again and again, almost falling.

Taking advantage of this effort, Hua Xiong put away the big knife and said to Han Dang with a disdainful expression: "Hmph, I want to wait for reinforcements, it's delusional." The whole army retreated and returned to the Tiger Prison to defend it! After saying that, Hua Xiong gave the order to the surrounding soldiers to retreat.

Hearing Hua Xiong's order, all the old and weak Han troops, including Zhao Yue and Cao Ping, began to fight and retreat, and slowly retreated towards the Tiger Prison Pass. Before leaving, Zhao Yue still reluctantly turned back to look at Liu Zheng's body, Liu Zheng, who was already dead, was lying quietly in place, the fire had burned his body, and he was afraid that the corpse would turn into ashes in a while.

Cao Ping noticed Zhao Yue who was distracted, grabbed his arm hard, and dragged Zhao Yue away vigorously.

In the same place, Han Dang was not ready to kill Hua Xiong and his men, but after a little chase, he stopped.

He planned to wait for Sun Jian to arrive, and then conquer the Tiger Prison Pass with the army, which would be safer and safer.

In this way, Zhao Yue and his entourage quickly ran across the wooden bridge on the ravine in front of the pass in the night, hid in the pass, and then ordered the guards to pull the wooden bridge to a closed state, as the gate of the Tiger Prison Pass, in order to prevent the enemy army from entering the pass.

It was the second half of the night, but what had happened in the camp before seemed to have passed a long time. The moon still hangs high in the sky, and the bright light is reflected in this ancient pass.

Hua Xiong suffered a loss before, so he had a long memory. After entering the pass this time, he ordered some of his soldiers who could still fight again to go to the pass with arrows, and patrol and defend with the original guards to prevent the enemy from sneaking up again, and our side was careless and was completely annihilated.

What makes people feel a little happy is that although Tiger Prison Pass is not as good as the castle, there are facilities such as private houses and merchants, government post houses, etc., there are about 100 ordinary people living here, and there are also various facilities such as a meeting hall, a small school field, a place to store grain, and a prison. If you want to stay here for a long time, you should be able to last a while.

It's just that Hua Xiong counted the soldiers under his command in the moonlight, including the guards who originally guarded the town, there were less than 3,000 people left, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled with low combat effectiveness.

Including Hua Xiong, the soldiers were all embarrassed. They looked like little cats with gray faces, all the result of being smoky by the fire. Others were burned by the fire, and at this time they had suppurated, and the miserable condition was difficult to see, but he still insisted on sitting in the middle of the queue, holding a spear in his arms, and looking into the distance with empty eyes, as if thinking about the future.

The morale of his soldiers was very low and he was very tired, and these were all problems for Huaxiong. Moreover, now there are already voices of bitterness in the army. The soldiers have no fighting spirit at all, and at the moment, not to mention a pass, even a city with extremely complete city defense facilities, I am afraid that it will not be able to defend it.

Hua Xiong's heart was tormented, and his worried expression appeared on his face, and he turned his back, not wanting to see this group of poor soldiers.

"Alas......"

Hua Xiong looked up at the bright moon in the sky, two lines of tears couldn't help but flow out, he sighed, and said in a sad and generous voice: "Blame me, blame me!" Blame me Hua Xiong for being a reckless man, not knowing the art of war, not knowing strategy, but being plotted by the villain, letting his soldiers die in the fire, my Hua Xiong is guilty! I don't have the face to see Mrs. Dong anymore! ”

After saying that, Hua Xiong pulled out the scimitar on his waist and was about to kill himself.

It was too late, but it was too fast, two people rushed out of the ranks of soldiers, one of them grabbed Hua Xiong's arm tightly, while the other person stretched out his hand expressionlessly and snatched the knife from Hua Xiong's hand.

Hua Xiong was startled, and hurriedly looked at the two of them, only to find that he actually knew the soldier who grabbed the knife, which was the tun chief who had gone to his camp before and took leave for the soldiers in the tunzhong. And it was none other than Cao Ping who grabbed his arm.

At this time, Zhao Yue's clothes were in tatters, a few slightly more solid muscles were still exposed to the cold wind, his hair was also a little scattered, and tears that had not completely disappeared could still be seen on his face. The big eyes, which were originally quite bright, were full of uncertainty about the future at this time, and the eyeballs were also inexplicably wandering in the eye sockets.

The small part of his clothes that was not covered showed a little bit of red silk, but no one around him noticed it, and he himself had forgotten about it because of his depression.

"Why did you two stop me?" Hua Xiong asked with a sad face.

"Whew!"

When Zhao Yue was about to open her mouth to answer, a huge voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, making many people follow the reputation.

After a few moments, they realized that it was the sound of a horn coming from outside the gate.

I only heard the sound blow louder and louder, resounding throughout the night, and at the end of the sound, there were bursts of drumming, faster and faster, faster and faster, so that people's hearts began to beat with the fast rhythm of the drums, and people were nervous, knowing that great disaster was coming.

"Sun Jianjun has begun to lead the army to knock on the pass!"

Guan Shang shouted while running down a sentry, according to his report, there were so many dark shadows outside the gate that it seemed that even Gongsun Zhan and Liu Bei and others were dispatched.

As for Yuan Shu's first army, looking at the past from the pass, the stars and sparks in the combined army camp opposite can be vaguely seen. From this, it is known that Yuan Shu should still be sitting in the camp and did not send troops and horses.

Just when everyone was panicking and didn't know what to do, Zhao Yue twisted her head back and looked at Hua Xiong silently.

Hua Xiong knew that the person in front of him had something to say to him, but in Hua Xiong's eyes, although Zhao Yue looked calm, he couldn't hide the loss after being sad, which made Hua Xiong's heart even more sad, and he wanted to escape the tragedy caused by his own hands by death.

Under the moonlight, Zhao Yue's tone was calm with a hint of disappointment, and she slowly said to Hua Xiong: "General, you can't die, if you die, who will avenge the revenge of those who died before?" ”

After speaking, Zhao Yue's own eyes revealed a heartbroken sadness.

Cao Ping on the side couldn't bear it after seeing it, he knew that Liu Zheng's death made Zhao Yue unacceptable, and what Cao Ping hoped most at the moment was to be able to leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible and return to Luoyang. Then let his eldest brother Zhao Yue sleep well, and when he wakes up, everything will be fine.

Hua Xiong listened to Zhao Yue's words and remained silent for a long time. He had already talked to Zhao Yue because of the soldier's leave, so he knew that Zhao Yue was kind-hearted, but at this time, he didn't listen at all, just shook his head and said sadly: "I, Huaxiong, am a rough man, I don't want to be a prisoner of the enemy, let alone die in the hands of others, and be humiliated by other people's weapons." However, I'm not afraid of death, you two dodge, let me end this life myself! ”

The shouts outside the pass are getting closer and closer, and the soldiers on the tiger prison have begun to shoot arrows at the pass, and from time to time someone is hit by a stray arrow, screaming, and rolling from the gate to the pass.

Seeing this, Cao Ping said to Hua Xiong excitedly: "General Hua, you can't just die like this, you die like this, what should we do as soldiers, you should go and call reinforcements!" ”

"Reinforcements?" Hua Xiong suddenly laughed, then shook his head, and said excitedly: "Lord Lu Bu is indeed leading 10,000 Xiliang soldiers to the Tiger Prison, but I have no face to face him, let alone face my family master, Lord Dong Zhuo!" ”

"Boom!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone heard a deafening loud bang, and the Combine Army had already begun to use siege equipment!

Gongsun Zhan's soldiers used thick planks one after another to spread on the ravine, and then, the huge car staggered towards the gate of the Tiger Prison Pass, and the car with a heavy wooden mallet crashed into the gate, the iron block at the front end of the mallet instantly knocked out a pit on the outer surface of the gate, some sawdust fell, and the small hole where it was hit could vaguely see the situation in the gate.

"Bang!"

There was another bang, and many people covered their ears. After this sound, the old and weak soldiers in the gate began to look around for something to resist, and then ran to the inside of the gate, leaning against the door, hoping to delay for some time.

In the same place, only Zhao Yue was still standing quietly, to be precise, this was not quiet, but a kind of indifference that had already looked down on life and death.
