A team of thousands of vehicles marched from the south in the direction of Xuzhou.

Tens of thousands of people pushed carts and marched along the official road with difficulty.

On both sides of the team, more than 1,000 soldiers of the Lu Bu army rode war horses, guarding the team, which determined how long Xuzhou could defend, and slowly moved forward.

Although the general who led this Lu Bu army was not very strong, the whole person was shrewd, and when he rode forward, a pair of eyes couldn't help but look around.

This person is none other than Cao Xing, who once escorted Lu Bu's two wives to Luoyang.

The procession had been on the march for about five or six days, and if it had been only the cavalry, it would have taken only two days to complete the journey, and the team had not completed it for more than three times.

The slow speed of travel made Cao Xing, who was escorting the grain and grass, also feel a little anxious in his heart.

An additional day's delay on the road increases the chance of being attacked by enemy troops.

Seeing that it was only more than 100 miles away from Xuzhou, every time he took a step forward, Cao Xing felt more uneasy in his heart.

"Speed up, we must rush to Xuzhou tonight!" The feeling of uneasiness became more and more intense, and Cao Xuan waved his horsewhip, urging the people who were transporting grain and grass to speed up the pace of their march.

The carts were pulled by southern ponies, and the higher quality ponies were mostly selected as war horses, and the cart ponies were only some horses that could not be used as war horses.

Although the people also wanted to speed up, the horses were weak, and they had no choice.

"General, look!" Just as Cao Xuan was urging the team to move faster, a soldier raised his hand and pointed to the side and shouted to Cao Xuan.

Hearing the soldier's shout, Cao Xuan hurriedly turned his head and looked in the direction the soldier was pointing, only to see that there were suddenly one or two thousand more cavalry in the wilderness where there was no one in the field.

Although the cavalry that had just appeared did not raise the battle flag, from the armor on their bodies, it could be seen that they were the Cao army that occupied Xiaopei.

Suddenly, Cao's army appeared, and the people transporting military rations were suddenly panicked, and many people were even ready to flee in two wars.

"Don't panic, everyone!" Cao Xing raised the spear in his hand high and shouted to the people who were transporting military rations: "Continue to march, if Cao's army attacks, you will have your own general to protect you and wait!" ”

When Cao Jun appeared here, he must have been ready to cut off the grain.

After all, the people are not soldiers who are used to fighting on the battlefield, although Cao Xing said that he would protect them, they were still a little busy, and the team was a little messy for a while.

Turning his head to look at the grain transport team that had begun to be chaotic, Cao Xing whispered to an officer behind him: "You lead a hundred soldiers and escort the grain team to continue marching, and General Ben will wait for you!" ”

Cao Xing's words revealed a determination to die, and after listening to what he said, the officer was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly whispered to Cao Xing: "My subordinates are willing to break off on behalf of the general!" ”

"Do you dare to disobey the general's order?" The military situation was urgent, Cao Xing didn't have time to say anything more to the officer, turned his head and glared at him, and asked him coldly.

Asked by Cao Xing, the officer was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed down and said, "The subordinates don't dare!" ”

"Escort the grain and grass!" Furrowing his brows tightly, Cao Xuan once again gave the order to the officer to escort the grain and grass.

"No!" The officer rode on horseback, hugged his fists and bowed in response, and then took the reins and shouted to the soldiers of Lu Bu who were escorting the military rations: "Come a hundred people, continue to move forward with a certain escort of grain and grass!" ”

A hundred soldiers of the Lu Bu Army immediately dispersed the formation, and followed the officer escorting the grain and grass all the way in the direction of Xuzhou.

The rest of the soldiers rode up behind Cao Xing, and behind him there was a not-so-long procession.

Hundreds of cavalry of the Lu Bu army, one by one on horseback, holding short contradictory cards in their hands, were ready to fight with Cao's army.

The war horses under their crotches were all sent to Xuzhou by Liu Wei at the beginning.

Although these war horses were eliminated by the Qin army, they were much taller than the war horses of the Cao army opposite.

The one who led the Cao army to appear opposite Cao Xing and the others was Xiahou Dun, who was stationed in Xiaopei.

Xiahoudun held a big knife in his hand, looking at the grain transport team behind Cao Xuan from a distance that continued to march in the direction of Xuzhou, and a cold smile pulled up at the corner of his mouth.

When attacking Xiaopei, he had already seen the bravery of General Wei Xu under Lü Bu.

Before the city was broken, Wei Xu abandoned the city and fled, and now in Xiahoudun's mind, there is still the idea that the generals of Lu Bu's army are just straw bales.

Confronted by Cao Xing, Lu Bu naturally didn't value him very much!

Following Xiahoudun and the ambush on the road were 2,000 cavalry of the Cao army.

Seeing that the grain transport team behind Cao Xuan was gradually moving away, a junior colonel of Cao Jun asked Xiahoudun, "General, are we going to attack the enemy?" The enemy has already transported grain and grass away......"

Xiahoudun didn't speak, but silently raised the big knife in his hand.

When he raised his broadsword, a group of Cao cavalry immediately shouted, brandished the cavalry short spear in his hand, and rushed towards Cao Xuan and the others on the opposite side.

Looking at the Cao cavalry that was getting closer and closer, Cao Xuan stabbed his spear to the ground, reached out and took the longbow from his back, set up an arrow on the bowstring, and aimed at the Cao army who was charging towards them.

When the cavalry of the Cao army rushed to the effective killing range of the arrows, Cao Xing's hand pulling the bowstring suddenly loosened, and an arrow flew towards the Cao army that was rushing towards him.

The arrows flew into the Cao army with a strong wind, and one of the Cao soldiers in the lead fell off his horse.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Xuan set up arrows on the bowstring one after another, and shot one arrow after another at Cao Jun.

Under the continuous firing of Cao Xing's arrows, Cao Jun fell off his horse one by one.

The cavalry of the Lu Bujun army, who was standing behind Cao Xing, clutched the short spears in their hands one by one, and stared at the Cao army who was getting closer and closer with a pair of eyes.

When the cavalry of the Cao army rushed to a distance of only more than 20 paces from them, an officer of the Lu Bu army slammed his legs towards the belly of the horse, shouted "Ride", and rode his horse to meet the Cao army.

As soon as the officer rushed out, the cavalry behind Cao Xing immediately poured out.

The two sides were already very close, and the two groups of troops, which were not very large in number, collided fiercely, and many people fell from their horses under the strong force of the collision.

The cavalry of the Cao army and the cavalry of the Lu Bu army, which rushed out first, had already been killed, looking at Cao Xing, Xiahou Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his hand holding the big sword.

After he waved his hand suddenly, Cao Jun, who was standing behind him, immediately rode his horse and rushed towards the battlefield that was a mass of slaughter.

Cao Xuan shot twenty or thirty arrows in a row, and when he reached out and touched the quiver again, he found that there was only one left in the quiver.

Looking at Xiahoudun, who was standing on his horse in the distance, Cao Xuan hesitated for a moment, but finally did not pull the arrow out of the quiver.

"Kill!" The battle in the battlefield became more and more intense, and finally Xiahoudun sandwiched the horse's belly between his legs, and after letting out a loud shout, he rode his horse to the battlefield.

When Xiahou Dun rode his horse and rushed to the battlefield, Cao Xuan did not move.

There was only one arrow left in his quiver, and he knew very well that it was almost impossible to injure him with an arrow in front of a fierce general like Xiahoudun.

Single-handedly with Xiahoudun, Cao Xing thought to himself that he didn't have that ability, his only chance was to take advantage of Xiahoudun's unpreparedness and shoot him with an arrow!

Wielding a big knife into the battlefield, Xiahou Dun flew with a big knife in his hand, and kept slashing at the cavalry of Lu Bu's army in front of him.

Where would the cavalry of Lu Bu's army be his opponents, and all those who fought with him were all cut off their horses by him.

The addition of Xiahoudun made the Cao army, which was originally superior in numbers, suddenly boost their morale, and they all roared in unison, and actually pushed the cavalry of Lu Bu's army back a few steps.

"Whoosh!" Just as Xiahoudun slashed a soldier of the Lu Bu Army off his horse with another sword, an arrow flew towards the back of his head with a strong wind.

Hearing the sound of arrows breaking through the air behind his head, Xiahoudun hurriedly turned around, wanting to grab the arrow, but the moment he turned around, the arrow pierced into his left eye socket with a "poof".

"Ugh!" The left eye was shot by an arrow, Xia Houdun snorted, and almost fell off the horse's back in severe pain.

This arrow could have pierced his brain and shot him to his horse, but at the moment when the arrow pierced his eye, Xiahoudun grabbed the shaft of the arrow so that the arrow did not shoot through his head.

But even so, one of his eyes was still useless!

If Xiahoudun knew that his eye should have been abolished a few years ago, he would definitely be secretly glad that the creation still allowed him to keep his eyeballs for a few more years.

But how did he know that, when the arrow pierced his eye, he roared and pulled the arrow out of his eye socket.

The arrow was still wearing his pierced eyeball.

"Father's sperm and mother's blood, how can it be wasted!" Looking down at his eyeballs, Xiahoudun roared loudly, and stuffed the arrow with the eyeball into his mouth, actually eating his own eyeball.

Xiahoudun was so fierce that he immediately suppressed all the Cao troops who were fighting with Lu Bu's army.

Seeing Xiahoudun eat his own eyeballs in one bite, Cao Xuan frowned, grabbed the spear inserted in the ground next to him, roared, and rode his horse towards Xiahoudun to kill.

Knowing that it was Cao Xuan who shot him in the eye with a cold arrow on the side, seeing Cao Xuan rushing up, Xiahou Xuan, who was still bleeding in the eye socket without eyeballs, also roared, and rushed forward with Cao Xing.

The two horses intersected, and Xiahou Xuan roared, picked up the big knife in his hand and slashed at the top of Cao Xing's head.

The big knife slashed, and Cao Xuan hurriedly raised his spear to block.

When the big knife slashed at Cao Xing's spear, Cao Xing only felt that the tiger's mouth in the palms of his two hands was numb, and the spear in his hand was almost thrown away.

Just when Cao Xuan barely blocked the knife and wanted to withdraw the spear, Xiahoudun let out another loud shout, and the big knife slashed towards his waist ribs.
