Under the city of Nanyang, the Han army tossed for a long time, and the soldiers and horses in front of the camp lined up to feign siege returned to the camp together, and then the green smoke floated in the camp, the thicker it was, and the smoke covered the entire camp.

Xiahou Shang watched for a long time and muttered: "The thief army wants to run away and use smoke to cover the lookout!" ”

Xiahou Shang drank and asked, "What is the movement of the thief barracks outside the south gate!" Hearing this, the general hurriedly sent someone to ask questions.

After a while, the south gate came to report: "The thief army camp is full of green smoke, plus the trees were cut down before to block it, and I can't see what is happening in the camp at all!" ”

Xiahou Shang sneered: "Do you still want to see clearly, it is clear that the thief army wants to run!" Order, the whole army went to war, chased and killed the thief army, and the hatred of besieging the city for months in one snow! ”

General Pi said strangely: "General, why don't the thief army use black smoke to cover the camp, the black smoke covers a wide and tight area, and you can see it clearly when you rush closer with green smoke, and the thief army will not be deceived if it abandons clumsy use!" ”

Xiahou Shang said: "The thief army wants to deceive us, and the suspicion of releasing black smoke to cover up is dangerous, but changing to green smoke is misleading us to think that it is a fire and cooking carelessly, resulting in smoke, so as to slow down our army's defense!"

Combined with the situation of the thief army, it is difficult to overcome the fortified city, the soldiers and horses are tired, and the morale has declined. The thief will not be a fool, how dare he delay here for a long time, today's abnormal behavior is to escape, and now he will not take the opportunity to break the thief when! "After that, he led the generals to go down to the city tower and ordered the troops and horses to open the city to fight.

After leaving the city for a while, Xiahou Shang thought about it, turned his head and said to the general: "The thief army is cunning, you can't be unguarded, it's better to be cautious!" You led fifty horsemen into the camp to investigate, and when you entered the camp, you should not approach the places where people could be hidden, and set fire to them from a distance. The soldiers and horses are scattered and alternately advancing, and they can respond in time once there is a change! ”

He will take the lead and enter the Han camp to investigate.

Xiahou Shang knew that his troops were weak and it was easy to catch up with the Han army, but it was difficult to hold back the main force of the Han army, so he had sent dozens of military envoys to the north to ask Xu Huang and Cao Xiu (Xiahou did not know that Cao Ren was coming) to come to the aid quickly, in order to intercept the army.

Xiahou Shang rushed to the Han camp and waited for the general to return, and after half an hour passed, the Han camp kept catching fire, but no one reported it, and he was anxious: Why is it so slow, the more the thief army is dragged away. couldn't help but say to the guards beside him: "Why no one returns, you lead people into the village to have a look?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten horsemen rushed out and shouted from afar at the camp gate: "There are only more than 100 people in the camp, and they all ran away from behind the village after the fire started!" ”

Xiahou Shang said: "As I expected, if it weren't for the sake of prudence, I'm afraid that the thief army would have been chased by now." The thief army will come as soon as they say, and they will leave as soon as they say, and they will deceive me and no one. Soldiers, catch up with the thieves and kill! After speaking, he led his troops around the camp.

More than 1,000 people in the front part approached the Han camp, and Xiahou Shang unconsciously glanced at the Han camp, and suddenly thought of something: "Will you come back?" What about the people who reported the news, why didn't they come to report the specific situation in the camp? The others didn't seem to come out, so could it be that they went after the thief army to rout? ”

After Xiahou Shang finished speaking, several generals behind him said: "General, it seems that those people leaned towards us and returned to the thief camp!" ”

Xiahou Shang exclaimed: "Go back to the camp, no, why go back to the camp, is there a fraud!" But there was no deception, suddenly, the wall of the Han camp collapsed, Xiahou Shang was shocked, and thousands of Han troops were killed in the smoke and dust.

Before he engaged Cao Jun, a loud voice came: "Xiahou Shang, Grandpa Zhang Fei has been waiting here for a long time!" ”

Xiahou Shang hurriedly shouted: "Quickly line up to defend against riding!" "There was no time there, the Cao army was already very close to the Han camp, and the Han army that came out was all cavalry. Cao's army hurriedly fired two rounds of random arrows, which did not cause much casualties to the Han army.

Zhang Fei took the lead in overthrowing several Cao troops, and the rest of the Han cavalry followed. Xiahou Shang was instantly shocked and sweating profusely, the army formation was not completed, and there was no chance of winning by foot against horse, and the power of Zhang Fei's fierce general in close combat was revealed, accelerating the speed of crushing the whole army.

Xiahou Shang gritted his teeth and said to the generals beside him: "Hurry up and strictly order the troops and horses under your command to press down the cavalry of the thief army, don't let the cavalry rush up, hurry!" After speaking, Xiahou Shang led his personal guards to meet Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei laughed when he saw that Xiahou Shang dared to fight with him: "Xiahou Shang, you sent troops and horses to explore the camp properly, more than 50 people are very cautious in searching and setting fire in batches, but unfortunately 50 people are worth thousands of people, you will also divide the team, and hundreds of arrows will be shot down in one round?"

Entering the camp and setting fire is a great help, the fire will not be able to burn the entire camp for a while and a half, it is not difficult to hide thousands of soldiers and horses, but it makes you believe that there is no one, otherwise you dare to go around the camp!

The second brother expected that you would go out of the city to chase after him, and deliberately put smoke in the camp to hide thousands of cavalry, if you find out, there is no cavalry in the city, and if you want to go, you can't help it, so retreat calmly! I can't find out that you are going around the camp in order to chase you quickly, just like killing you by surprise now! Boy, the words are clear, don't let you be a wronged ghost, obediently bring the head! ”

Xiahou Shang said angrily: "Old horseman, I'm afraid you won't succeed, look at the gun!" The spears and spears intersected, and the two only met for more than ten years, and Xiahou Shang felt bad.

The Cao army was broken by the Han army, and the soldiers and horses that had just been gathered were scattered in a blink of an eye, and the soldiers and horses were difficult to stop, and the generals of the Cao army were powerless.

Now that the defeat is decided, Xiahou Shang has also retreated in the formation and fought at the same time, using the chaotic crowd to avoid Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei chased after him: "Xiahou Shang, don't run away, since you don't have the ability to win the battle and quickly get off the horse and surrender, spare your life, you can't hide!" ”

Xiahou Shang was unconvinced: "Old horseman, wait for me to fight with you!" "Having said that, he hurriedly went to the place where Cao Jun had a lot of troops, and General Cao Jun saw this and helped stop it.

Xiahou Shang is the general of the clan, there is a flash Cao Pi can't spare them, everyone rushed to support Xiahou Shang, Xiahou Shang hurriedly said: "You block this guy, hurry!" After saying that, Fuma hurried away.

Xiahou Shang had just gotten rid of Zhang Fei, Lei Tongxian assassinated and blocked, urgently ordered the guards to block him, brandished a spear to overturn several Han soldiers, and escaped from the formation! Lei Tong had already been unable to catch up with the guards, and even shot several arrows in vain.

Zhang Fei didn't expect Xiahou Shang to run decisively, swore a challenge, couldn't beat the chaos in the army, and then ran away without looking back, completely ignoring his identity, which is equivalent to abandoning Cao Jun.

Zhang Fei said speechlessly: "Xiahou Shang, you kid ......!" Xiahou Shang ran away, and Zhang Fei threw his anger on the general who blocked him, and beheaded more than ten people in a row. Without the main general, the Cao army was quickly defeated.

Lei Tong rushed over after counting the battlefield and said: "General, Xiahou Shang has run away, the Cao army has about 5,000 soldiers and horses and lost more than 1,000 people, more than 3,000 people have surrendered, and the rest have fled, what should I do if the Cao army surrenders, we must retreat quickly, in order to avoid leaving troubles, it is better to ...... Kill! ”

Zhang Fei looked at the surrendered Cao Jun and felt tricky, and thought for a while: "Killing prisoners is ominous, simply cut off two fingers per person, even if they return to the Cao army, without two fingers, the strength of the arm is insufficient, and it is difficult to form an army." Lei Tong didn't insist on killing the prisoner, and agreed to go.

After quickly disposing of the surrendered troops, Zhang Fei was not in a hurry to retreat south, but waited halfway to wait for Ling Bao to come to rendezvous.

On the other side, wolf smoke rose in Nanyang City, and Yu Ban, who was hiding in the hills, saw the signal to attack together with Xiahou Shang, and gathered cavalry to kill.

Previously, Yu Ban led the cavalry to catch up with Guan Yu, and after rushing to Nanyang, he had no choice but to station nearby and send people to contact Xiahou Shang, but the Han army failed to block Nanyang on all sides, giving the two a chance to connect in series.

After two days of repair, the cavalry of the Cao army recovered physically and mentally, and Yu Ban was very disappointed because he tried his best to intercept Guan Yu, who was a famous general, how could he be willing to be willing to do his best in vain.

At present, tens of thousands of Han troops in Nanyang are there, Yu Ban thinks about his actions and concealment, Guan Yu knows that there are chasing soldiers behind him, but he doesn't know the specific number and distance from them, take advantage of this, hide carefully, and cooperate with Xiahou Shang to fight the Han army under Nanyang City by surprise, and break the thief.

Yu Ban first sent a large number of scouts to explore the road to ensure the accuracy of the direction of the attack, and soon the scouts reported: across the four hills, you can see the thief army, tens of thousands of troops, baggage, canes, horses stretching for more than ten miles.

Yu Ban's spirit was shocked and said: "The thief army has withdrawn, as expected!" ”

Shaking his spirit, he shouted: "The whole army crossed the hills, and rushed into the thief army with all the courage after the killing, without the slightest cowardice or hesitation, fighting with a sharp spirit, surviving a few rounds of arrow rain to cut off the thief army, penetrate, defeat the thief army, and let them mess up!" Cao Jun agreed in unison.

Yu Ban doesn't care about it, but in fact, Yu Ban is familiar with the terrain around Nanyang, and the surrounding plains are mostly conducive to cavalry combat, and the chance of winning by surprise is very big! The forbidden hiding place is hilly, far from Nanyang City.

It seems that it is not good for the cavalry, but Yu Ban thinks it is excellent, and the hills can block most of the Han scouts. Second, the soldiers and horses were cut close to the official road leading from Nanyang to Jianyang and Xiangfan, and they were stuck on the main road of the Han army's retreat.

Yu Ban expected that his army was pressing behind, Guan Yu had already rushed back from the front line, and the Han army had no scruples, so it would retreat sharply, and it would take a long time to detour, and it would be difficult to take the supplies away.

The official road is flat and close, and the Han army besieging Nanyang has a large number of baggage, grain and grass, which can be brought back along the main road, and the two are more natural to take the official road.

Yu Ban had calculated everything, he was proud, he urged the horse to advance with a gun, turned over the two hills, and moved forward in one go, when he suddenly noticed that the sound on the side was like thunder.

Yu Ban listened carefully to the vigilant Le Ma, and immediately judged that it was the sound of horses' hooves, and there were quite a few people.

Unconsciously exclaimed: "Our cavalry is all here, it must be a thief army." The whole army stops, stop! When Cao Jun heard the order, he immediately reined in his horse.

Yu Ban pointed behind his back and said: "Return to the slope in batches and stand still, hurry up!" Cao Jun was ordered to quickly turn his horse's head and climb up the hill to line up.

Once it is confirmed that it is the Han army, take advantage of the condescending terrain of the hills to enhance the impact of the horses! Cao Jun just lined up the formation neatly, and the soldiers and horses were killed in another place, and the general headed by Yu Ban saw that he was ready to deal with the situation, and he continued to kill the past to attack from the bottom, and Cao Jun took advantage of the situation to rush down from the top, and he would be at a disadvantage when he landed.

The Han general raised his sword, the cavalry stopped the charge, and lined up in formation. The leading Han general shouted loudly: "General Cao, do you recognize Xiliang Pound?" ”

Yu Ban said angrily: "It's just a pawn under Ma Chao, and he fled with Ma Chao on all sides, and he dares to boast!" If I don't open your eyes, see who I am! ”

Pang De sneered and said: "Yu Ban, how does it feel behind us this way, no matter how capable you are, you can't catch up!" Hahaha! ”

Yu Ban laughed and said: "Guan Yu only cares about the rats, he doesn't dare to turn back, he is known as a famous general, what kind of face to show off!" ”

Pound felt speechless, this matter was unreasonable, and changed the topic: "It's a pity, you, the world's famous general, are going to die here today!" ”

Yu Ban scolded: "Don't be ashamed, who lives and who dies is not yet known!" ”

Pang De laughed and said: "Yu Ban, you think we don't know your whereabouts, save it!" The prince already knew that you were behind us, and beware that you would arrive at Nanyang City in the future, and he had already sent someone to guard the main road!

You're hiding in the southwest direction of Nanyang City, right? We know, but we are afraid of Xu Huang and other reinforcements in the north, and we are not sure that they will swallow you in one fell swoop, and it will be extremely disadvantageous if you can't defeat the enemy in one blow for a long time, so we didn't attack!

The most worrying thing is that you are stationed under Nanyang City, in that case, when our army retreats, we must divide the troops and horses to defend against it.

I didn't expect you to choose to hide, which is tantamount to telling us that you want to sneak attack! Scouts have searched many times, and there are several scouts in the direction where you are hiding, and the prince immediately knows how many places you can hide.

In addition, you have to hide, so you don't dare to send a large number of scouts to investigate, for fear of revealing your whereabouts, which is in my favor! The prince asked me to ambush here a day beforehand, for this is the best place to attack.

There is a deviation of more than ten miles from the prediction, but it still intercepts you, hahaha! Yu Ban, now you have no reinforcements, my reinforcements are close at hand.

Xiahou Shang has been resisted, you can't advance or retreat, and now you still think that I said that you are going to die is a lie! After listening to this, Yu Ban's back was wet, and he couldn't talk.

Pound was overjoyed to see Yu Ban's appearance: Yu Ban has been disturbed by me, in order to make the heart chaotic, there is no plan, and if there is no plan, the army will be chaotic, and it will be defeated, and I will provoke it with words! ”

Pang De said suddenly: "Yu Ban, why hesitate, if you wait, you will only be surrounded by a large army, and the whole army will be annihilated, rush down!" You can still fight, otherwise you won't be able to do anything when our reinforcements come around your back! ”

Yu Ban was confused by Pang De's words, Yu Ban tried his best to find a way, his mind was full of hard work, and he was lucky to be able to hold on to the reinforcements, even if the whole army was wiped out, he could still kill and injure the thief army.

Yu Ban ignored one point, where did the Han army have time, where would the army stop and risk the danger of Cao Jun's reinforcements to attack, and they didn't dare to send troops to attack when they guessed their hiding place, and now they don't dare to do it.

Yu Ban was drunk to break the plan, his heart was in turmoil, and he messed up the rules, and the herald shouted: "The whole army is arrayed, follow me, kill out!" ”
