Late at night, in the middle of the night, the night is lonely, the starry sky is bright, and a bright moon hangs upside down.

Savage Ridge.

This not too steep hillside is located thirty miles in the southeast suburbs of Guangyang County, with the Guangyang River behind and Guangyang City in front.

On the top of the mountains, under the reflection of scattered bonfires, the Wei soldiers lost their armor one by one, they were back to back, hungry, squatting on the hills, listless, because they could no longer see hope and did not know tomorrow.

Surrounded by tens of thousands of Wu troops under the mountain, they had reached a desperate situation, and their morale naturally became low.

Xiahou Yuan, the commander of the Wei army, had this gauze lingering on his arm, holding a big gun in his hand, sitting in front of a bonfire, his eyes were bright, looking at the flames of the bonfire, and there was a trace of despair on his expression.

Because of the interception of Chang Zheng's soldiers and horses, he did not lead the soldiers and horses to cross the river smoothly after all, and finally fought a battle with Chang Zheng on the reeds, and under the defeat, he led 8,000 remnants of the army to escape to the east side of the river, and now he is surrounded on this hill.

Eight thousand remnants of soldiers, food and grass were lost, and there was no way out.

Under the light of the bonfire, a bitter smile appeared on Xiahou Yuan's stiff face: "It seems that a certain family is going to be buried here this time, General, I'm sorry, I can't even go to Zhuojun with you!" ”

He Xiahou Yuan worked hard with Cao Cao when he was young, and at that time he was full of spirit, supported the Han family, and appeased the people of the world.

Looking back on his life, Xiahou Yuan has never regretted it, if there is an afterlife, he is still willing to support his brother. Dominate the world and put an end to the chaotic world.

Since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising, he has fought the world, and he has experienced countless battles.

He had thought about this day countless times.

As the saying goes, the clay pot must eventually be broken in the well, and the general will inevitably die in battle and go to the battlefield. This is the fate of a military general.

"Father, why don't we cover your breakthrough!"

At this time, a brave young man with an iron spear in his hand strode up and said in a low voice.

His name is Xiahou Heng, the eldest son of Xiahou Yuan, and he is also a relatively outstanding leader in the second generation of Cao Wei, second only to Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen and other young generals.

"Breakout?"

When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he smiled slightly bitterly. He glanced up at his eldest son, shook his head, and said, "Xiao Heng, in the current situation, do you think we can still go?" There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the mountain, we have countless wounded soldiers, and there is no food, how can we rush out? ”

"I am willing to lead the soldiers to cut off the queen for my father. Please father break out alone! Xiahou Heng knelt down on one knee and said with a straight face: "With my father's peerless force." There is a slight possibility of breaking through and crossing the river, as long as you cross the river, you can join the general's soldiers and horses! ”

"After we are the general, please break through the general!"

Xiahou Heng's voice alarmed countless soldiers, and a group of confidant generals surrounded him and faced Xiahou Yuan. They all knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.

They are all Xiahou Yuan's most loyal generals.

Each of them has followed Xiahou Yuan to fight for more than five years, and in their hearts, they can die here for Xiahou Yuan.

"Hahaha!"

Xiahou Yuan's gaze swept over. The spirit is masterful, and he can't help laughing: "Okay, very good, a certain family can have your support, today's battle, even if you die in battle, you will die without regrets!" ”

"Father, I'll open the way!" Xiahou Heng's eyes moved slightly, and he hurriedly invited the vanguard.

"Xiahou Heng!"

Xiahou Yuan's expression sank, there was a trace of kindness in his tiger eyes, he looked at his eldest son, and said with a straight face: "You are the eldest son of your father, your father has always been very satisfied with you, and your father will entrust these sons and daughters to you today, and after your father dies in battle, you can take them to surrender!" ”

He has already made a decision.

He Xiahou Yuan died without regrets, but he couldn't let the soldiers under his command come to bury him for him, and he couldn't do the lives of 8,000 soldiers in exchange for his alone life.

Then there is only one way left.

He was willing to trade the death of one man for the lives of these soldiers.

"Father, no!" Xiahou Heng looked a little excited and shouted.

"General, we are willing to fight to the death for you!"

The eyes of all the soldiers fell on Xiahou Yuan's burly body with a strong respect.

"Win and lose!"

Xiahou Yuan stood up burly, stood in front of the generals, and looked at the beloved generals under his command: "In today's battle, my Cao Wei was defeated, and I Xiahou Yuan has no way out, and I have nothing to say, but I am the brother of His Majesty, I can die in battle, and I must not surrender to Wu, but you are different, you don't need to sacrifice for such a senseless battle, you have a home and a mouth, so you have to live, even if it is a humiliating life!" ”

"General!"

"General!"

When the generals heard this, their eyes were full of tears, and their voices were scolded, but Xiahou Yuan's words made them not know what to say to refute.

No one is not afraid of death.

Most of them, the generals of the Wei army, have families, and if Xiahou Yuan wants to break through the siege, they can also know that this is a senseless sacrifice, and do it fearlessly.

But now that Xiahou Yuan let them live, they are moved.

"Xiahou Heng!" Xiahou Yuan shouted.

"Father!" Xiahou Heng's eyes were red, and he hurriedly strode forward.

"Now I appoint you as General Zuo Huwei, the head of all generals, after dawn, you take them down the mountain to join the Cheng Wu army, save their lives, there must be no mistake!" Xiahou Yuan said word by word.

"What about you, father?"

Xiahou Heng's eyes flickered: "Father, let's surrender together, this battle is not our fault, if it weren't for his Cao Zihuan's fault, how could we fall into such a situation, I believe Your Majesty will understand us!" ”

"This general is the face of His Majesty, once I die, I must not let His Majesty lose face, but even if I Xiahou Yuan dies in battle today, I will die a vigorous death, if you are my Xiahou Yuan's general, you will follow my Xiahou Yuan's loyalty, and don't pass by!"

Xiahou Yuan held a big gun in his hand, turned over his horse, and walked down the mountain alone. With the momentum of the wind and the cold, there is no return.

"Father's !!!"

The back of Xiahou Heng's hand was green and convex, his eyes were red, and he roared angrily.

"We send off the general!"

The generals faced Xiahou Yuan's back, and one by one the soldiers bowed their heads, and they thundered in unison.

……

Beneath the foot of the mountain.

The soldiers of the Wu army's Wild Lion Legion have surrounded this hill on top of each other. One by one, the soldiers held torches in their hands, lined up to guard, and were on strict guard, not even a fly could enter.

"Chang Zheng, you did a good job!"

In the middle camp, Huang Zhong stood on horseback, holding a big knife in his hand, looking at the shining fire on the hill, and the corners of his mouth outlined a playful smile: "This time I finally caught a big fish." Xiahou Yuan, that's Cao Mengde's brother! ”

"Thank you, Commander Huang, for your appreciation!"

Chang Zheng said weakly, his appearance looked brilliant, the whole person was bandaged like a mummy, in order to leave Xiahou Yuan, he was seriously injured.

"Commander Huang, when are we going to attack?" Zu Mao looked up at the hill, and there was a hint of urgency in his expression.

Take Xiahou Yuan. That's a big job.

"Haha, no hurry!"

Huang Zhong said lightly: "It's not me who is impatient now. It's Xiahou Yuan on the mountain, he is trapped in the Savage Ridge, there is no way back, there are heavy soldiers in front, even if we surround them now, we can surround them. Why storm! ”

There is a price to be paid for the attack, and now he only wants to take Xiahou Yuan at the least cost.

"Report!" A scout to Malay newspapers.

"Say!"

"Report to the commander, the besieged Wei army on the mountain has moved!"

"They want to break through?" Zu Mao's eyes were shining.

"Nope!"

The scout hurriedly said: "The Wei army has not moved, but the main general Xiahou Yuan. went down the mountain alone, and he named and wanted to meet Commander Huang Zhong! ”

"What? went down the mountain alone, did he Xiahou Yuan want to surrender? Zu Mao's eyes were slightly happy.

"Surrender?"

When Huang Zhong heard this, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "I don't think so, I think he wants to die!" ”

"To die?"

Zu Mao's face became grim.

"Let's go, let's go meet this general of the Wei army!"

Huang Zhong rode his horse, walked out of the gate, and went directly towards the road on the mountain.

"Good!"

Zu Mao rode his horse to follow, and so did his generals.

Under the moonlight, Xiahou Yuan stood proudly on the mountainside, with a horse and a spear in his hand, with a silent and arrogant expression, facing the encirclement of the Wu army, as if there was a fearless momentum of thousands of troops.

"Where is Huang Hansheng?" He roared and roared, and his voice was mighty.

"Somebody's here!"

Huang Zhong pushed aside the crowd, reined in the reins of the horse, and walked out step by step, under the light of the brilliant torches, his eyes stared at Xiahou Yuan: "Xiahou Miaocai, now that you have no way out, I advise you to surrender, I can spare your life!" ”

"Haha!"

Xiahou Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed, and pointed his spear at Huang Zhong: "Huang Hansheng, how can I, Xiahou Yuan, be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, if I am defeated today, I have nothing to say, but I will never surrender to Dongwu!" ”

"Then why are you here?" Huang Zhong asked coldly.

"How dare you fight me!"

Xiahou Yuan launched a challenge, pointed at the spear in his hand, his expression was cold, and his fighting spirit leaped: "I am willing to fight with life and death with the honor of a general!" ”

"Why?"

Huang Zhong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "You Xiahou Yuan can also be regarded as a fierce general who has practiced qi, now I have a chance of winning, as long as the bow and arrow are strong and the crossbow is sniped, I can cut you off the horse, why take the risk of fighting with you?" ”

"I still have 8,000 soldiers under my command, and today when the fate of them is decided in a battle, if you defeat me, I can make them lay down their weapons and surrender on the spot, if you are defeated by my hands, let us leave this place, how about it?"

Xiahou Yuan stared at Huang Zhong and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

When Huang Zhong heard this, he pondered for a while, and rode out: "All the soldiers obey the order, immediately withdraw from a hundred meters away, and must not get involved in the battle of our group." ”

"No!"

The soldiers of the Wild Lion Legion walked in a neat step and withdrew a hundred meters away.

"Kill!"

The moment Xiahou Yuan walked out of Huang Zhong's horse, he moved in the lightning, the man and the horse were one, his body was like a meteor, he leaped out, and a big gun in his hand, with the strength of breaking the wind, went straight into Huang Zhong's head.

"Broken!"

Huang Zhong raised his head, his pupils contracted slightly, but he didn't panic, he raised his knife directly, and the sword light was like a silver ray, flashing, blocking Xiahou Yuan's killer shot.

Clang!

The sound of a clash of gold and iron exploded, the voice was sharp and low, constantly echoing within a range of kilometers, making the soldiers of the Wu army a little frightened.

"Xiahou Yuan is actually so strong?"

"It's still our Commander Huang who is much more powerful!"

The confrontation of such peerless generals, even if it was the aftermath of the Gang Qi, was difficult for ordinary soldiers to bear.

"Come again!"

After Xiahou Yuan staggered, he immediately reined in his horse and shot him.

"Humph!"

Huang Zhong snorted coldly, and the magnificent qi all over his body exploded, like a god of war standing in front of him, and the tiger and tiger sword reflexively slashed out, directly approaching Xiahou Yuan's head.

Bell Bell Bell !!

Under thirty consecutive rounds, the battle between the two seemed to form a field of Gang Qi, and the blade-like Gang Qi condensed into substance, and even the ground was turned into cracks.

"Xiahou Yuan, it's a pity, if you can break through the Lian Gang Dacheng, I'm afraid I won't be your opponent today, but now you are not my opponent!"

After Huang Zhong figured out Xiahou Yuan's strength, he sighed, and then turned the defense into an attack, and faced him head-on: "You can also take me with a knife, slash!" ”

The big knife was raised, and it fell, and the blade that lingered around this gang qi seemed to slash towards Xiahou Yuan with the strength of tens of millions of catties.

"Bell!"

Xiahou Yuan subconsciously waved his spear to block, but this powerful force directly put him and the spear in his hand under the horse.

Burst!

After Xiahou Yuan spit out a mouthful of blood, his breath calmed down, raised his head slightly, and looked at Huang Zhong: "What a Huang Hansheng, I didn't expect that your blood and qi have begun to dry up, and you still have such a strong strength!" ”

"Although the old man is in the category of military generals and is old, it is more than enough to kill you Xiahou Yuan!"

Huang Zhong had the power not to go around people, and then kill him with a knife.

Bang!

Xiahou Yuan's whole person was taken out and rolled on the ground, although his martial arts were extraordinary, but in the face of Huang Zhong, this martial artist who was at the peak of his qi training, he was always a little insufficient, so he was defeated.

"Xiahou Miaocai, vote for my Da Wu, I can spare your life!"

Huang Zhong put away his knife, stared at Xiahou Yuan coldly, and said coldly.

For Xiahou Yuan, a general, he still appreciates it, if he can collect it under his command, not only will he be a fierce general, but he will also be able to hit Cao Wei's momentum fiercely above the heart of the army.

"Hahaha!"

Xiahou Yuan's head was scattered, and the desolate laughter continued to echo up and down the hill, he raised the spear in his hand and shouted to the sky: "I, Xiahou Yuan, was born as the general of the Great Wei and died as the soul of the Great Wei, how could I vote for you as a thief of Eastern Wu, it is inevitable to die today, I Xiahou Yuan is only willing to die in my own hands, my life, I am in charge of my own decision!" ”

The spear pierced his heart, blood splattering three feet.

"What a strong man!"

The audience was cold, and a pair of eyes involuntarily carried a trace of respect, watching Xiahou Yuan's burly body fall straight down, even if there was no breath, his eyes were still as wide as copper bells.

Cao Wei's generation of tiger generals, Xiahou Yuan, fell to Youzhou.

"Xiahou Miaocai, you are a loyal and courageous person, cherish you and me as enemies, otherwise you and I will definitely cook wine and talk about everything!" Huang Zhong jumped off the horse, his eyes with a hint of respect, condensing this corpse.

"Commander Huang, what about the Wei army on the mountain?" Zu Mao walked up at this time and asked.

"Send someone to surrender!"

"Will they surrender?"

"Since Xiahou Yuan died alone, he has already made the decision to let his soldiers surrender!"

Huang Zhong looked at Xiahou Yuan's corpse and said lightly: "He has no hope of breaking through, he is already in a desperate situation, and he can't bear to die with his soldiers, but he is not willing to turn his back on Cao Wei's loyalty, under the dilemma of loyalty and righteousness, he chose to die alone!"
