"Father, what about the younger brother?" Xiahou said urgently.

Xiahou Yuan stroked his forehead: "I forgot Rong'er, Rong'er will go with you." Don't turn back, just go north! Xiahou Yuan touched Xiahou Rong's forehead. As a father, I led your brothers out to see the wind on this battlefield, and I didn't want to put you in danger. You go to Guanzhong with your two brothers, and you can't be naughty on the way! ”

The teenage Xia Hourong nodded fiercely.

Xiahou Ba stood up: "Father, the matter of going to Guanzhong will be handed over to his uncle, Hao Lai Ba is also the second son of Xiahou's family, his father died on the battlefield, how can Ba be backward, but he begs to fight with his father in the army." The uncle and younger brother have not performed the crown salute, and they should return to Guanzhong, and they have lived for more than 30 years, and they are willing to fight against the Shu army with their father! ”

Xiahou Yuan looked at Xiahou Ba with a complicated face, for a long time, and sighed: "That's it, whatever you want!" You lead your younger brother to Guanzhong, be careful on the way. ”

Xiahou nodded and didn't say much, leading five hundred horsemen to take Xiahou Rong to the north.

Xiahou Yuan swept away the troops behind him who were tired, but still strong in spirit, and said loudly: "All the gentlemen follow me to Baozhong." After life and death and stay, even if you go out of the Qinling Mountains, you will not look north when you die! ”

"Even if you are out of the Qinling Mountains, you will not look north if you die!" The less than 3,000 cavalry shouted, and immediately followed Xiahou Yuan, tore open the horse's hooves, and galloped eastward.

Zhang He and Xu Huang's men and horses entered Baozhong, and immediately reorganized their war preparations and counted the granary reserves in Baozhong.

The second general was discussing the matter of defending the city, but he heard the report of the lieutenant of the next colonel: "Two generals, great joy!" The general has just counted the granaries, and the granaries in the city are full, which can be eaten by the army for half a month! ”

"Good!" Xu Huang slapped the case hard. "In this way, save some money, and wait for the prime minister's army to come to help!"

Zhang He still frowned: "It is a little difficult to garrison the city, although Baozhong is a rich county, but the city is not particularly high, and the enemy army is several times that of me." If it is a strong attack, although our army has a lot of people, it lacks the equipment to defend the city, and it is extremely difficult to defend it! I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the prime minister's reinforcements to assemble quickly, after all, you and I both know the situation in Guanzhong, and food and grass are in short supply! If you can't come within half a month. When the time comes, our army will only end up in a rout. We still need to save some food. ”

Xu Huang nodded: "Liu Bei's Chinese army will arrive soon, whether it can turn the tide of the battle in Hanzhong depends on how long our army can support it!" ”

"Alas, I don't know what happened to General Xiahou! If General Xiahou dies in battle, how can we explain to the prime minister? Zhang He rubbed his forehead and sighed.

Tens of thousands of military horses of Cao's army in the land of Hanzhong. They are all the elites of each army, and they can immediately see the clues of the garrison of a city in their own praise. Although this strong army has gone all the way and is exhausted, it can still consciously fortify the city.

Each battalion, under the leadership of its own officers, either collected rolling wood and stones, or carried the few supplies of the generals to the city. Some of the soldiers were led out of the city by their respective officers. Dig a wide moat. Sprinkle thistle terrestris on the side of the wall.

In the evening, Liu Bei's men and horses arrived slowly, and the armies were not in a hurry, and set up camp. When the morale of its army is broken, it can be attacked in one fell swoop! This group of centaurs has become a turtle in an urn, and there is no way to escape.

The moment Zhang He and Xu Huang heard the arrival of Liu Bei's brigade, they rushed to the city together. Second, the enemy is very strong.

There is no doubt that the momentum of the Shu army made Zhang He and Xu Huang feel pressure.

Liu Bei's Chinese army Bai Yu is needless to say, it is a first-class elite division in the Shu army. Partial Sheng and the Chinese army came together with the more than 15,000 Jingnan troops under Huo Yi. The sergeants under Huo Yi's command are very standard in military posture, and the uniform dress is determined according to the distribution of different arms. From a distance, it looks like an inseparable piece of steel, which makes people's hearts palpitate.

Liu Bei's Chinese army was stationed in the north of Baozhong City to prevent it from escaping north; Huo Yi's men and horses were transferred to the west of the city, and the east of the city was deliberately released, and that direction could only go to Nanzheng. The south of the city is a vast water, and this method of besieging the city is lacking, but it is very clever and steady.

Waiting for Liu Bei's army to be transferred in the afterglow of the setting sun, Zhang He slowly closed his eyes, he knew that he had only one way to go. Unless you can conjure up countless warships before you can escape with self-praise, you can only stick to the way of waiting for help!

Xiahou Yuan's men came very quickly, and in a dense forest in the southwest of Baozhong City, less than 3,000 people and horses rested peacefully. Xiahou Ba led more than 100 cavalry to Baozhong first, responsible for exploring the situation in Baozhong.

Zhao Yun's cavalry walked for a day, but in the end he still caught up with a team of Cao Jun cavalry on the Baoshui side, not others, it was Xiahou Yuan's two sons, Xiahou Cheng and Xiahou Rong.

Cao Jun's military horses lacked food and grass, and the military horses that had been running for a day were already very tired, Zhao Yun's military horses were taking advantage of this time to catch up with this Cao army, to his surprise, this team of men and horses was only five hundred, led by two young generals, the younger one, it looked like he was only twelve or thirteen years old, and the big one was only about sixteen or seventeen.

The tired Cao army was obviously not the elite opponent of the Shu army that had been trained for a long time and had long been familiar with riding skills, but after a few rendezvous, most of the cavalry of the Cao army fell off their horses, and the Shu army also paid an extremely painful price, with nearly 300 people losing their combat effectiveness.

Zhao Yun saw that the sixteen or seventeen-year-old young military general was extremely heroic, a iron spear in his hand was extremely sharp, and there were countless defeaters under the gun, and there were more than ten Han soldiers lying down.

Zhao Yun snorted coldly, and raised his gun to meet the young general, as soon as he took over, Zhao Yun knew that although this person was powerful, he had little skill, and he only fought by the inertia of the power of the iron gun. What surprised Zhao Yun even more was that Xiahou said that the arrow shot was extremely accurate, and several times, Zhao Yun was almost shot.

After trying the path of this young general, Zhao Yun was even more sure of the conjecture in his heart, and the gun in his hand accelerated instantly, and he only put down the two young men in two or three rounds. Zhao Yun pointed at Xiahou obliquely at the tip of the spear, and said coldly: "You are the son of Xiahou Miaocai?" ”

The young man was extremely arrogant, and did not answer, but closed his eyes, showing a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and he was extremely resolute.

Zhao Yun suddenly fell in love with talents, this young man is almost like his proud disciple, Huo Yi, who is now fighting in Hanzhong, has the arrogance in his bones, and even the courage in his body, which is very similar.

Zhao Yun smiled and pointed at the two teenagers: "Tie up!" ”

"General, the question came out, Xiahou Yuan went to Baozhong! These two are the sons of Xiahou Yuan, one is called Xiahou Cheng, and the other is Xiahou Rong. At the same time, the troops on the side had already learned about Xiahou Yuan's whereabouts from the mouths of the captives.
