Chapter 496: Unlucky Xiahou Yuan

"The breeze and the moon are bright, the warriors are in the grass, not for the general's order, only for the name of the world!" At midnight, in the dense woods and grass, Wang Xu looked at the sneaking elite warriors and blurted out.

Xu Shu on the side suddenly looked back in astonishment, and chuckled: "The lord is really a Confucian general in the world, and he is so free and heroic at this time. ”

"Casual work, just want to be happy in your heart, there is nothing free and easy!" Wang Xu waved his hand absently.

Xu Shu smiled, thinking about the previous poems, but suddenly asked: "Lord, why is what you did just so strange, unlike ancient poems, the rhythm is neat, and it is even more catchy." ”

"Oh!" Wang Xu's mind was all on the soldiers who were ambushing and advancing, his eyes looked around, and he said without looking back: "This is a five-word quatrain, and the rhyme I made just now is mediocre, mediocre." If you have time to study it slowly, don't talk about this now, look at the gray fog in the distance in front of you, is it like a large group of people marching in a hurry? ”

"Huh?" Xu Shu's thinking couldn't keep up with the rhythm, but he still followed Wang Xu's gaze, observed it slightly, and suddenly exclaimed: "Lord, there must be a large group of people marching rapidly, could it be the yellow scarf of Kunyang County?" ”

"Kunyang County Yellow Turban?" Wang Xu frowned, then shook his head and said, "Why is the Yellow Turban still transferring troops so late?" They are currently on the defensive, and the deployment is almost complete, this is still their territory, why don't they even light torches? There's no need for that! ”

The more Wang Xu thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he always felt that it was not so simple, so he immediately turned back to Xu Huang, who was following closely, and said, "Gongming, order the whole army to stop moving forward." Send a few people over there to find out. Always be careful not to expose the trail. ”

"No!" Xu Huang responded softly. In the blink of an eye, he scurried into the grass next to him.

The other side obviously didn't find the hidden soldiers and horses here, because Wang Xu's marching speed was not fast, the horses' hooves were wrapped in coarse cloth, and everyone was leading the horses, which was very hidden. It was different over there, and even on this night when the vision was blurred, you could see the smoke and dust, and it must have been a large-scale rapid march. It just didn't light the torches.

After a while, Xu Huang was already running back quickly, but his steps were extremely light and agile, and there was almost no movement.

Wang Xu saw that his face was full of surprise, and couldn't help but take the lead in asking: "Gongming, what's going on over there?" But there is a Yellow Turban Army? ”

"Back to the lord, the last general personally went to the mountain over there to check, there is indeed an army, judging from the scope and concentration of smoke and dust, there are about more than 3,000 people!" Xu Huang nodded. But then he took a deep breath and frowned, "But I don't know if it's a Yellow Turban soldier." Because it is still so far away, there is a faint sound of horses' hooves, it is estimated that all of them are cavalry, if it is a yellow turban, why is the main force of its cavalry here? ”

"Three thousand cavalry!" Wang Xu exclaimed, he believed in Xu Huang's ability to discern, and before he could think about it, he was already in a hurry: "Gongming, immediately go to the rear to inform Xu Sheng, organize the soldiers to ambush, and remove the rough cloth of the horse's hooves, but keep silent, all get on the horse and hold the bow, whether it is a yellow turban or not, if you get my order, attack immediately." ”

"No!" Xu Huang knew that the shape was in danger, so he didn't say much, and went straight to arrange for the soldiers to ambush.

After he left, Wang Xu thought about it slightly, and suddenly became happy. "Yuan Zhi, they must not have discovered our army at this moment, and they rushed over hastily, didn't they just enter the urn? Although we only have 2,000 horsemen, such an ambush will surely defeat its 3,000 iron horsemen in one fell swoop, which is really a blessing from heaven! ”

"The words of the lord are very true!" Xu Shu nodded, but then he was very puzzled: "But how can there be so many cavalry here in the Yellow Turban?" We traveled day and night, secretly rushing to Kunyang, but the other party was galloping from the direction of Kunyang, this is really strange, the Yellow Turban Yu has such strength? ”

"No matter how much, let's talk about it!" Wang Xu waved his hand, but he didn't have time to think about it. "Wait a while, Yuan Zhi will hide in this dense forest, take more than 20 horsemen to defend himself, don't show up lightly!"

Xu Shu smiled slightly. "The lord can fight with confidence, his subordinates are not powerless, and the swordsmanship is not superb, nor is it an ordinary person!"

"Hmm!" Wang Xu put his mind at ease and told more than 20 elite guards to protect Xu Shu, and then took Dian Wei to the place where everyone was ambushed.

The army on that side came very quickly, and the sergeants on this side took advantage of the sparse woods on both sides of the road to cover it, and soon after they formed their formation, they were already at the corner of the main road.

By the moonlight, Wang Xu could already vaguely see some enemy troops, and was immediately surprised: "No, it's not a yellow turban, it's definitely not a yellow scarf, such a sophisticated battle armor, a strict marching formation, how can it not be a rabble." ”

As he got closer and closer, Wang Xu gradually saw the familiar face of the first general, he had seen it more than once or twice, and suddenly understood everything, and chattered to himself in disbelief: "Cao Cao really dispatched, it's Xiahou Yuan, this is Xiahou Yuan!" This is a thousand-mile surprise attack, it is to make a detour to attack my father's camp under the city, to catch me off guard, so a lone army to go deep into the hinterland of the Yellow Turban, a detour to attack me, this Xiahou Yuan is really a big spirit, and he regards the remnants of the Yellow Turban as nothing! ”

Dian Wei's eyes were like torches, and he also saw the face of the person who came clearly, listening to Wang Xu's words, his eyes instantly flashed with an astonishing aura: "Lord, Xiahou Yuan will hand it over to me!" ”

"Good!" Wang Xu nodded decisively.

A little excitement suddenly surged in his heart, but he didn't expect that he wanted to pretend to be a yellow turban to attack Kunyang, but by chance, he collided with Xiahou Yuan, who wanted to attack the camp of his father's city. This is really good, now that Xiahou Yuan is in a hurry to attack, he must be defenseless, and he can already meet the result.

A moment later, Xiahou Yuan's continuous cavalry had already rushed into the firing range along the main road, Wang Xu did not hesitate at all, and shouted decisively: "The whole army is ready, the front row is shot, the back row is thrown, shoot!" ”

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! The rain of arrows fell in an instant, and as soon as he looked at his face, Cao Jun fell, his horses neighed, and the soldiers roared in panic.

The two thousand people here are Xu Huang's axe knight and Xu Sheng's sharpshooter, each of them is a carefully selected and vigorously cultivated all-round soldier, the elite of the elite, almost at the same time as Wang Xu's words fell, the sharp arrows were already shot neatly.

These soldiers' archery skills are far beyond ordinary crossbowmen, even if there is an obstacle in the night, but in the face of the dense formation of the long dragon Cao army, it is still full of lethality, a round of shooting will fall a piece, Xiahou Yuan's three thousand cavalry instantly rioted, and even collided and trampled on each other.

But this is because they are well-trained, they should be elite troops, and if they were ordinary soldiers, they must have been in chaos and scattered to hide, not just a mass commotion.

In order to disturb Qixin, Wang Xu even laughed wildly: "Hahaha...... Xiahou Miaocai, Wang Xu has been waiting here for a long time, and I have four thousand fine horses here, if you don't surrender, when will you wait? ”

No matter how wise and calm Xiahou Yuan was, he was a little panicked at the moment, he couldn't figure out how many troops were ambushed here, and at the same time, he was a little surprised because his surprise attack was discovered.

After taking a deep look at the direction where Wang Xu's voice came from, Xiahou Yuan didn't reply, but anxiously scolded the cavalry under his command: "Retreat!" The rear army turned to the front army, and the whole army retreated! ”

At the same time, Wang Xu's roar was equally deafening: "Rapid fire!" ”

Although these elite special troops are all-powerful, in order to reduce the load, they immediately only hang a pot of quivers, a total of fifteen. Their rate of fire was very fast, and when Xiahou Yuan began to retreat, the arrows had already been fired, causing casualties among hundreds of the opponent's horsemen.

Seeing this, Wang Xu immediately raised the fire dragon spear and shouted: "Charge!" ”

"Kill!" Dian Wei, who had been waiting for a long time, thundered violently, and rushed out with the ice and fire halberd, heading straight for Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan saw it from a distance, turned the horse's head and left, he knew that Dian Wei's martial arts were powerful, although he was not afraid, but if he was entangled by Dian Wei at this moment, these three thousand iron horsemen would have to be explained here.

Xu Sheng was on the other side of the road, at the head of Xiahou Yuan's retreat of three thousand iron cavalry, and when he heard the order to charge here, the black-veined Xuantie spear danced a spear flower, galloped down, and led the sharpshooter to the rapidly retreating enemy army, like a sharp knife, tearing it apart fiercely, and poking up the retreating array.

Xu Huang was not slow, and led a big axe knight tail to pursue, like a heavy hammer cast by a torrent of steel, crushing the frantically retreating Cao army, causing it to fall in pieces, and the power was incomparable.

Wang Xu personally led some of the sharpshooters and big axe cavalry to kill the middle part of the Cao army, taking the lead, the fire dragon was waving, the battle robe fluttered, and a charge cut off Xiahou Yuan's troops.

Although Xiahou Yuan's cavalry was also an elite division, they could not withstand such a ferocious attack, and the array collapsed in an instant.

Xiahou Yuan's intention to retreat in an orderly manner was completely shattered, and in anger, he killed dozens of people along the way, all of whom were soldiers who only cared about fleeing by themselves, fleeing indiscriminately, and destroying the array.

He is also extremely powerful, he has stabilized the momentum of complete rout, forcing the soldiers to block and retreat, although it cannot cause casualties to the Jingzhou soldiers and horses at all, but at least let his soldiers have a greater chance to escape.

Dian Wei followed closely, and the ice and fire halberd brought a rain of blood, and no one was spared from the soldiers of the Cao army who blocked his way, and if he touched it, he would die! But Xiahou Yuan was extremely measured, although he kept rectifying his soldiers and fleeing along the road, he always maintained a distance from Dian Wei and never intersected with him.

Seeing this, Dian Wei was furious and roared like thunder: "Xiahou Yuan, you have the courage to fight with me!" ”

Xiahou Yuan ignored it completely, kept silent, just drank the soldiers, and galloped wildly.

Wang Xu, Xu Sheng, Xu Huang, and Dian Wei covered up all the way, and they were extremely brave, leaving countless corpses of Cao Jun along the way. After chasing for an hour, Wang Xu saw that it was difficult to do his best, and he was worried that the pursuit would be completely exposed, so that the Yellow Turban sergeant would notice the army, and the guide zhì's strategy would fail, so he stopped the pursuit.

But even so, Xiahou Yuan still fled in defeat, and with all his might, he could only flee with more than 800 remnants.

Xu Sheng only chased for a while at the beginning, then stopped the pursuit with his soldiers and followed along the way to clean up Cao Jun's corpse. The main reason is that I am worried that the battlefield here will be discovered, and there are too many signs found on the side of the Yellow Turban, if it makes the discord plan fail, it will not be cost-effective......
