Chapter 379: Losing the first battle
The Han army retreated, Xiahou Yuan collected his troops and returned to the camp, saw Xun You waiting at the camp gate, and said: "A certain is about to kill the veteran, why is the military advisor Mingjin?" ”
Xun You said: "Huang Zhong did not show his defeat, but he suddenly retreated, for fear that there would be fraud. ”
Xiahou Yuan laughed and said: "Although Huang Zhong has some skills, after all, he is old and weak, and if he has Shihe, he will cut down the old man." ”
Xiahou Shang was also full of resentment, and scolded: "Liu Qi's subordinates will only be opportunistic and fight head-on against non-my opponents. ”
Xun You pondered: "If Huang Zhong is not a fraud, but just came to fight and kill him, why should the general use it?" ”
Xiahou Yuan asked, "Will the plan be released?" ”
Xun You said: "Today there is no victory, and tomorrow the general will also go to fight, but he will deceive the enemy and lure the enemy, and he can kill the enemy general." ”
Xiahou Yuan frowned and said, "I'm afraid he won't be fooled." ”
Xun You said with a smile: "Liu Qi's army is on the mountain pass, although it has the advantage, but once it charges, the men and horses go down the slope, it will be difficult to stop, just lure out Huang Zhong, even if Liu Qi collects his troops, it will be too late." ”
Xiahou Shang laughed and said: "The military advisor's plan is exquisite, it's time for me to take revenge!" ”
Previously, Xiahou Yuan had also gone to the enemy village many times to challenge, but Yan Yan couldn't hold on and attacked the cottage, but it was halfway up the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he held on for more than a month.
At this time, seeing a veteran, he sneered: "Liu Qi transferred Zhang He to attack Qishan, and divided Zhao Yun's soldiers into Chencang Road, but he only took the old soldiers to fight with me, and he clearly did not look at us and others, and he would behead these two old thieves." ”
Early the next morning, Xiahou Yuan's uncle and nephew personally went out to the mountains to fight, only calling Huang Zhong and Yan Yan two old thieves.
Huang Zhong was furious when he heard the news, and he was about to go out of the camp to fight, Fa Zhengyan said: "Xiahou Yuan has not arrived for half a month, and he suddenly came today, I am afraid that there is a trick, and I need to be careful." ”
Liu Qi instructed: "When you send troops, remember to obey orders and act recklessly. ”
Meng Da hugged his fists and said: "I didn't kill Xiahou Shang yesterday, and today he will be called to have no return, and the first battle will be handed over to the last general!" ”
Meng Da and Fa Zheng are good friends, and they avoided chaos in Yizhou at the same time, but now they see that Fa is being reused, and they have always been eager to make meritorious contributions and are eager to perform.
Liu Qi knew his thoughts, so he ordered Meng Da to be the vanguard, followed by Huang Zhong, Yan Yan and others to sweep in front of the village and observe the situation.
Meng Da came out of the village to line up, and singled his finger at Xiahou Shang and shouted: "Xiahou Clan's anointed children, come and die quickly." ”
Xiahou Shang was furious, urged the horse to confront Meng Da, and after more than ten battles, he couldn't resist and walked away.
"Where to go!" Meng Da saw that the generals were watching the battle, and he was excited, and roared to urge the horse to chase after him.
"Zidu can't be chased, come back!" Fa Zheng hurriedly called.
Liu Qi sent the order to Mingjin, but Meng Da had already beaten his horse and rushed down the hill, and the horse on the slope couldn't stop at all, and rushed to the bottom of the slope in a blink of an eye.
Fa Zheng exclaimed: "It's not good, it's a plan!" ”
Meng Da didn't want to stop, but he couldn't hold it anymore by taking advantage of the horse's momentum, so he had to fight Xiahou Yuan hard.
The two of them galloped on their horses, and Xiahou Yuan was ready to go, urging the horse to come closer, rising to the front, raising his hand, and slashing Meng Da under the horse with just one combination.
"Dog thieves cheat!" Liu Qi also came to his senses at this time, and shouted: "Beat the drums, attack!" ”
Since Cao's army could not use the slope to lure the enemy, he simply took advantage of the situation to kill the hillside and break through the enemy formation.
Condescending and overwhelming, this is Ma Tan's clever plan, and it is just right to use it at this time!
Knock Knock Knock –
The earth-shattering drum sounded, Huang Zhong took the lead, beat the horse and leaped down, Yan Yan followed, the generals led the men and horses, the Han army was like a flash flood, pouring forward, unstoppable.
Xiahou Yuan was looking up to the sky and laughing, seeing that the enemy army was all dispatched, the momentum was terrifying, and he couldn't resist under the hillside, so he hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat.
Huang Zhong rushed to the front, his hair was flying, and when he saw Cao Jun retreating, he hung up his big sword, took out his bow and arrow, and aimed at Xiahou Yuan and fired three arrows in a row.
Xiahou Yuan is also a master of archery, observing while walking, seeing Huang Zhong release arrows, he has already taken precautions, urging the horse to gallop left and right in the chaotic army, and only shot down two Cao Jun.
Unexpectedly, the last arrow was rushing towards Xiahou Shang, and he hurriedly shouted, but it was too late, he was shot in the back of the heart by an arrow, screamed, and crumbled on the horse.
Xiahou Yuan's eyes were quick, and he urged the horse to go over and hold Xiahou Shang on the horse, and the Han army chased straight to the camp gate, and Xun You had already divided his troops to guard it.
The two armies were mixed up for a while, and there were casualties among each other, and Huang Zhong saw that Cao's camp was neatly arranged and had no chance to take advantage of it, so he had to lead his troops to retreat.
This battle broke Meng Da, Fa Zheng looked sad, after all, he was a friend in the same trouble, and said regretfully: "Blame me for not noticing for a while, but let Zidu be in the middle of the plan." ”
Liu Qi comforted: "A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and Mr. does not have to be too sad, General Meng sacrificed his life for the country and has his own pension, and Mr. raised his children and heirs, which can be regarded as comforting the soul of his old friend in the sky." ”
In fact, for a repeated villain like Meng Da, death will save a disaster, Liu Qi is secretly happy in his heart, but he scolds himself for being a villain, after all, Meng Da is now his own general!
Fa Zheng's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This must be a plan, and I swear to avenge this." ”
Liu Qi knew that Fa Zheng would be avenged, so he comforted him for a while and let him rest temporarily and find another way to fight the enemy.
Ordered Meng Dahou to be buried in Xishan, the first battle was lost, but also let him put away the heart of the proud soldiers, before there were Fa Zheng, Pang Tong and so on, the enemy is at ease, but this time the opponent is Xun You, but also the top strategist of the Three Kingdoms, the battle of wits and courage needs to be more careful.
The reason why he urged his troops to attack just now was not only to save the situation with the help of geographical advantages, but also to take advantage of the situation to inspire Huang Zhong to kill Xiahou Yuan's fate, but unfortunately Xiahou Yuan ran too fast and the conditions could not be achieved.
Recalling the battle of Dingjun Mountain, Huang Zhong killed from the mountain, which was caused by Xiahou Yuan's slackness of the enemy, and now Xun Yu is the military advisor, always reminding that this is a little difficult to do.
If Xun You can be transferred, it will be easy to deal with Xiahou Yuan.
At this time, Guan Yu has entered Yuzhou and won the land of Yingchuan, the Xun family has no worries, it is time to show Xun Yu's hole card!
Xiahou Yuan returned to the camp with a great victory, ordered the doctor to heal Xiahou Shang's wounds, and the rest of the soldiers rewarded and celebrated, swept away the previous depression, and boosted morale to prepare for a counterattack.
Xun You said: "Liu Qi has a law as a military advisor, this person is the best at scheming, a small victory is not enough to counterattack, and he needs to guard against other tricks." ”
Xiahou Yuan sneered: "Huang Zhong and Yan Yan are both defeated under me, how can Liu Qi do it?" ”
Xun Yu said: "There are two valleys behind the Kei Valley, the oblique valley leads to Wuzhang Yuan, and there is also the Taibai trail through Chencang. ”
Xiahou Yuan said: "Be prepared, even if the military advisor arranges it." ”
Xun Youyan said: "The terrain in this valley is dangerous, you can send an army to the valley to ambush at a dangerous place, if the enemy comes, you can ambush it more than half, so that he has no return." ”
"Brilliant plan!" Xiahou Yuan nodded happily and ordered his second son Xiahou Wei to lead 3,000 elite soldiers to Taibai Valley to set up an ambush.
Xiahou Wei was trained with the army this time, and he was only used as a main guard, but he had previously guarded the fortress and folded several generals such as Xiahoude, and he was short of manpower, so he had to let him lead the troops in advance.
