For the Huns, this was a valley of death.

Xiahoudun stood quietly in a dense forest, countless crossbowmen gathered around him, and in the high part of the valley, there were at least twenty thousand such crossbowmen in ambush.

The three thousand guards were too clumsy, and their rough acting skills made Xiahou Dun so anxious that he couldn't speak, and he was so angry that he was scolding his mother there, and the guards almost didn't even take the battle, they ran all the way and fled, and the generals with a little brain could see through this kind of strategy to lure the enemy into depth.

But the ending surprised Xiahoudun, such a team of garbage really led the Jingmen soldiers and horses into the ambush circle. found out that it was 10,000 Hun cavalry who came over, and Xiahou was also relieved, if Zhang Ren could really fall into his trap, then he would definitely not call Zhang Ren again. However, the dishes served on the table, Xiahoudun was determined.

Arrows poured down like a torrential rain, like a basin of cold water poured on the top of Thorn Wuxian's head, and Thorn Wuxian suddenly woke up, knowing that he had been tricked. But the Hun cavalry was trapped in the valley, such a terrain was completely unfavorable to the cavalry fighting, the Wei army was condescending, rows of bows and arrows were fired, countless Hun soldiers fell from their horses after being hit by arrows, and for a time, there were heavy casualties.

Thorn Wu first immediately organized the Huns to counterattack with bows and arrows, although the Huns were good at riding and shooting, but from the bottom of the valley to the top of the valley is a back attack, the difficulty of the attack is quite large, and the mountains are densely jungled, most of the Wei soldiers have trees as cover, and most of the arrows of the Huns have hit the trunk of the tree instead of people. On the other hand, the situation of the Xiongnu soldiers at the bottom of the valley was much worse, there was no shelter, many Hun cavalry and war horses were crowded together, and they completely became live targets, and the Wei army didn't even need to aim, and shot arrows with their eyes closed. It can also shoot people or horses.

Of course, it is impossible for Thorn Wuxian to sit still, the more critical the situation, the more it can stimulate his fighting spirit, Thorn Wuxian screamed, and commanded the Huns to retreat.

Since Xiahoudun has laid a net of heaven and earth in Yangtougou, how can he allow Thorn Wu to get away lightly. Seeing that the Hun soldiers were fleeing in the direction of the valley mouth, Xiahou and Xu Huang immediately led their troops and rushed down from the mountain and intercepted the thorn Wuxian at the position of the valley mouth.

In the valley "bathed" a rain of arrows, the Huns suffered heavy casualties, and now they were intercepted and killed by the Wei army several times their own, there was no way to go to the sky, there was no way to enter the ground, and the Thorn Wuxian, who had always been arrogant and conceited, was also at a loss at this time. Darkness, today I will die here.

At this moment, the north of the Sheep's Head Valley was dusty, and there was a faint rumbling sound, and Xiahou knew that the reinforcements of the Jing army had arrived, so he asked Xu Huang to continue to besiege and annihilate the Hun cavalry, and he led an army to meet the enemy.

The person who came was Ma Dai, and Ma Dai was ordered by Zhang Ren. However, he was not in a hurry, and followed Thorn Wu all the way to the direction of Yangyi. Thorn Wu went fast first, and Ma Dai walked slowly, and the difference between the two was nearly fifty miles.

The news that Thorn Wu was surrounded in Yangtougou was quickly conveyed to Ma Dai's ears, and Ma Dai smiled and said, "Sure enough, it is not what Governor Zhang expected." Ma Dai did not order the cavalry to go in a double way, but still maintained the original speed, and approached the sheep's head ditch unhurriedly.

When Ma Dai arrived at Yangtougou. It was already an hour away, Ma Dai looked at the faint shouts of killing from the valley, and estimated that the Huns had been severely damaged, and it was unknown whether the assassin Wuxian was alive. Let's be honest. Ma Dai was also extremely disgusted with the Xiongnu, and he wanted to let them die, but since Zhang Ren had his life first, Ma Dai did not dare to disobey the military order lightly, and immediately ordered the 11th Cavalry Division to enter the battle state and launch an attack on the valley.

Before Ma Dai rushed to the mouth of the valley, Xiahoudun had already led his troops to rush out, Ma Dai saw that the leader of the army was Xiahoudun, and immediately sent a bow and arrow, and gave him an arrow head-on.

Xiliang Jin is good at riding and shooting, although Ma Dai's riding and archery skills are worse than Ma Chaolai, but Ma Dai's strength is amazing, and he is also a first-class good hand in the Xiliang army.

Separated by a distance of several hundred steps, if you put a target, it is not difficult for Ma Dai's arrow to hit the target, but it is not so easy to shoot the red heart, and Xiahoudun is not a dead target, only if he is a little vigilant, or block or dodge, this arrow will not be able to hit his vital point.

But things are so weird, maybe Xiahoudun was distracted and didn't notice Ma Dai's hidden arrow sneak attack at all, maybe Ma Dai's arrow was shot in Xiahoudun's left eye by coincidence.

Xiahoudun only felt that his eyes were dark, and his left eye was in severe pain, so he screamed, reached out and held the shaft of the arrow, and with a forceful flick, a bloody eyeball was pulled out. Xiahoudun shouted: "Father's essence and mother's blood, Anke abandons it!" He opened his mouth and bit off his eyeballs, chewed it a few times and swallowed it into his belly, and then threw his arrow to the ground, and the blood flowed all over his face, and he was terrible, and he took his spear and rode his horse, and took Ma Dai directly.

This scene made Ma Dai and the cavalry stunned, this Xiahou Dun was too violent, eating his own eyeballs was no different from eating barbecue, he was seriously injured, but he was still as brave as ever, and the army was shocked.

Ma Dai saw Xiahoudun rushing up like a mad tiger, he couldn't help but be shocked, cowardly, didn't dare to fight, and led the army back in a hurry.

The main general was so desperate, the Wei soldiers naturally forgot to die one by one, and covered up the killing in one go, and the Jing army was defeated.

As soon as Ma Dai was defeated for ten miles, Leng Bao Deng Xian each led a division to arrive, and the Jing army regained the advantage in strength, and Ma Dai also returned to join the ranks of the counterattack, and the two sides started a melee outside Sheep's Head Mountain.

When Xu Huang heard that Xiahoudun was wounded, he hurriedly brought troops to help, killed and dispersed the Jing army, and rescued Xiahoudun from the siege. Xiahoudun lost too much blood, his body was overdrawn, and he immediately fell unconscious. Xu Huang hurriedly ordered the doctor to bandage Xiahoudun's wounds, and he didn't dare to fight anymore, so he gathered his soldiers and horses, and looked in the direction of the party.

As soon as the Wei army withdrew, the Thorn Wuxian who was trapped in the valley was lucky to pick up a life, check the loss, the 10,000 Hun cavalry actually lost nearly half, Thorn Wuxian was like a defeated rooster, drooping his head, hanging his head, seeing Ma Dai, naturally there was no arrogant appearance of the previous high-spiritedness.

Ma Dai still had lingering palpitations about Xiahoudun's shocking actions, so he naturally had no intention of teasing Wuxian, and went to each place on the hour. Now that the purpose of rescuing Assassin Wuxian has been achieved, Ma Dai did not go to pursue Xiahoudun, who was seriously injured and retreated, and immediately returned to Jinyang and went to Zhang Ren to restore his life.

Xu Huang led the army to retreat to Xiangyuan, Xiahoudun had already woken up, but he lost a sight, his injuries were extremely serious, and it was no longer realistic to stay in Shangdang, so he had to be sent to Yecheng for treatment.

Before leaving, Xiahoudun paid all the military power of the state to Xu Huang, and transferred Li Tong from Hedong to Shangdang, Xiahoudun sighed and sighed: "The king of Wei entrusted the state to me, but I didn't expect the defeat to be so much, and the land of the state was lost, and I was really ashamed of the king of Wei." ”

Xu Huang said: "Don't blame yourself, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, as long as you can keep the party, and the state can also be restored, the governor still rests and recuperates." ”

Xiahoudun said: "After a certain departure, the military affairs of the party will be entrusted to Gongming." Now that Jinyang has been lost, it is meaningless to defend Hedong again, and Li Tong has been ordered to evacuate Hedong, and soon, he can meet with the Shangdang and Komeito to defend the Shangdang. Shangdang is Yecheng, Luoyang barrier, there is no room for mistakes, Gongming can set up camp in a dangerous place, in order to refuse Zhang Ren, Shangdang Mountain is dangerously narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, with Gongming's talent, it will be able to ensure that the party does not lose. ”

Xu Huang arched his hand and said: "Huang will not lose the expectations of the governor." ”

So Xu Huang set up seven large battalions in the dangerous mountains in the north of Shangdang County, heavily garrisoned, equipped with arrows, arrows, wood and stones, and blocked all the large and small mountain roads. After Li Tong led 50,000 horses from Hedong to Shangdang, Xu Huang's troops also reached about 150,000, which was roughly the same as the strength of the Jing army.

Zhang Ren reorganized his troops and horses in Jinyang, and immediately went south to the party, preparing to take the entire state in one go. However, Xu Huang set up heavy troops in Xiangyuan, Guyuan, and Tongdi, relying on the dangerous mountain situation, and insisted on not fighting, so that Zhang Ren had nothing to do, so he had to temporarily station troops in Yangyi, Qixian, and Jiexiu on the front line, waiting for an opportunity to find fighters, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.
