"Rush!"

"Kill!"

On the official road, Cao Hong's soldiers and horses were cut into several sections by the Hebei Army and were deeply encircled.

The woods on both sides of the official road were lit by fire-burning objects, making the dark sky a little brighter.

And now the sergeants of the Hebei Army are taking advantage of this bit of light to carry out a fierce attack on Cao Hongjun on the official road.

Cao Hong ambushed his soldiers and horses on both sides of the official road, and ordered all his soldiers to set up their bows and crossbows, ready to shoot at the attacking enemy at any time.

It's just that Cao Hong is still too young after all, and he is in the stage of rage, and he doesn't see everything in some things.

The troops and horses that pursued him later, Cao Hong did not know who the main commander of his army was.

Without knowing who the enemy opponent was, Cao Hong dared to easily set up a formation to fight the other party? Isn't this a clear search for death?

Therefore, the current Cao Hong is really shallow and too impulsive.

You must know that the person who is now the commander of the army and horses following him is Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun in history is a brave and delicate figure.

But in history, Zhao Yun, when he was young, whether it was under Gongsun Chan or Liu Bei, he was not well trained and trained.

In fact, this is not to blame Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei at that time, both of them were a little too busy to take care of themselves at that time, where did they have the time and energy to focus on training Zhao Yun?

Especially Liu Bei, who was running around, couldn't eat.

It was not until Liu Bei stabilized in Jingzhou that Zhao Yun gradually developed his natural talents under Liu Bei's command.

But Zhao Yun now is completely different from that time.

has been by Liu Jian's side since he was a teenager, and the wasted twenty years in history are nothing for Zhao Yun in this era.

He has plenty of time to study and practice and make himself a generational player.

For Zhao Yun's growth, Liu Jian attaches great importance to it, and Zhao Yun is by his side every time he fights, and is carefully guided and educated by him.

The people who follow Liu Jian's side generally grow at an amazing rate, because there are too many things that can be seen by Liu Jian's side.

Especially for an open-minded and studious person like Zhao Yun, following Liu Jian's side can increase his growth speed several times.

A good teacher and leader is definitely the key to a person's success.

Although Zhao Yun was still young at this time, his tactics were almost mature, especially the cavalry tactics, which he had mastered extremely well, and his grasp of the current situation on the battlefield was also in place.

It was Zhao Yun who asked the soldiers to insult Cao Jun in the back, and it was Zhao Yun who took out Cao Cao's identity to talk about it.

If it were in normal history, it would be difficult to imagine that Zhao Yun would do such a thing.

But in this era, Zhao Yun was influenced by Liu Jian and deeply understood the impermanence of soldiers and the impermanence of water.

To fight a war is to exhaust all kinds of means, and we cannot blindly charge into battle and fight bravely.

When necessary, it is necessary to use a little trick or a little trick.

Now, the reason for Shi Xiao's plot is because he wants the other party to be angry and return to the army to fight with him.

Since the purpose was to lure the other party into fighting with him, how could Zhao Yun not be guarded?

Cao Hong wanted to use the night as a cover for himself to ambush and shoot Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun naturally thought through this.

The scout he was tracking by the secret agent in front told Zhao Yun as quickly as he could that the enemy army had suddenly stopped moving, and Zhao Yun immediately guessed Cao Hong's intentions.

Therefore, Zhao Yun did not rush to pass on the official road, but ordered people to set fire on both sides of the road.

Cao Hong and the others were at the bottom of the fire, and not long after Zhao Yun set the fire, the fire forced Cao Hong's army out from the side of the official road.

At the moment when Cao Hong and the others were forced out, Zhao Yun's elite cavalry charged on the official road, breaking his team into several sections.

The infantry team went to encircle Cao Hong's soldiers and horses along both sides of the official road, and Zhao Yun himself stared at Cao Hong with the help of firelight, commanding the soldiers to constantly surround and prevent Cao Hong from escaping.

Zhao Yun was not in a hurry to go up to fight Cao Hong, now that the other party was at his most angry, it was not a good opportunity to step forward and exterminate him.

And at this moment, Cao Hong, like being caught by a cat and mouse, was trapped in place by Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses, and he couldn't break free at all.

Cao Hong led his troops to the south, and a cavalry roared over to block them and beat them back.

Cao Hong was thinking about going west, and there were already elite shield soldiers stationed there, erecting spears, just waiting for Cao Hong and them to rush up, and then piercing them to the heart.

Cao Hong walked further north, and there were also strong bows and crossbows blocking his way.

There was a fire under the official road.

On the official road, the cavalry was crisscrossed, the roads were blocked, and Cao Hong's soldiers and horses could not be assembled at all, and they scattered and fled, without any organization and discipline at all.

In this embattled situation, Cao Hong galloped back and forth to break through, almost exhausting his strength.

But his actions not only had no effect, but only caused further damage.

watched as the soldiers around him fell to the ground one by one...... Cao Hong's heart was full of pain, and he regretted not being at the beginning.

He bit his lower lip so tightly that he was bleeding.

"Hebei dog thief, if you have the ability, you will fight to the death with Cao, what kind of ability is it to kill soldiers?"

Cao Hong's voice resounded through the four fields, but no one paid attention to him at all.

Did Zhao Yun, who had been observing Cao Hong not far away, hear?

Of course he heard it.

However, Zhao Yun has patience, and he is not in a hurry.

It's just a mad dog at the end of his rope, let him shout.

The current Cao Hong is like a turtle in an urn in Zhao Yun's eyes, and he can be captured and handed over to Liu Bei at any time, and there is no need to be angry with him at all.

In terms of capturing and slashing generals, Zhao Yun's current thinking is not quite the same as that of ordinary generals.

Ordinary generals mainly value their heads and merits in war.

But Zhao Yun's thoughts have been sublimated, and he has followed Liu Jian and learned to look at everything from a higher perspective.

This is also known as the big picture!

The desperate enemy general seems to be in the Cao army, and his identity is not bad.

Cao Cao's army was newly established in Huainan, and most of the people Cao Cao relied on were his clan descendants.

According to Zhao Yun's opinion, the intermediary general in front of him may be the clan descendant under Cao Cao, if he can catch this person back for the lord, he will definitely be of great use to the lord in the future.

Cao Hong led the men and horses to clash left and right, and he also suffered two knife wounds on his body, and gradually became the end of a strong crossbow.

Cao Hong gasped and looked around blankly.

Seeing the enemy's cavalry around him coming and going, compressing his range of activity smaller and smaller, and most of the soldiers around him were killed or wounded, Cao Hong's heart couldn't help but feel grief.

I saw Cao Hong raise the war knife in his hand high and shout up to the sky.

"Oh my God!"

This cry contains endless sadness and unwillingness.

Just when Cao Hong was cornered and shouted loudly, a burst of fire suddenly lit up in the other direction of the official road.

A group of Cao's Biao troops entered the battle under the leadership of Xiahoudun.

The Hebei Army, which was responsible for intercepting the other side of the official road, did not expect to suddenly kill a military horse, and was accidentally broken through the defensive line by Xiahoudun.

"Zilian, don't panic! I'm here to help! ”

Cao Hong, who was already disheartened, suddenly rekindled hope in his heart after hearing this shout.

He hurriedly led his soldiers and horses to turn around and galloped in the direction from which Xiahoudun had come.

"Yuan let save me!!"

After seeing Xiahoudun, Cao Hong seemed to burst out with all his bravery, and the remaining sergeants under his command also seemed to be inspired, reinvigorated, and rushed towards the direction where Xiahoudun was with Cao Hong.

After breaking through the enemy's position, Xiahoudun stayed in place to show his might, like a demon god blocking the way, not allowing any Hebei army to block the road again, and fought bravely to open a way for Cao Hong.

I have to say that Xiahoudun's coming this time was still very timely.

Under his advice, Cao Hong finally joined him.

However, it was at this time that the headquarters led by Zhao Yunjun rushed up.

The sudden appearance of Xiahoudun did disrupt Zhao Yun's deployment in advance, but now that he went out in person, he would never allow Cao Hong and the others to escape easily.

Xiahoudun looked into the other party's camp by the light of the fire.

The opponent's soldiers and horses converged quickly, and the impact speed was also extremely fast, it seemed that he never intended to let himself and Cao Hong go easily, if no one broke off, he would not be able to escape smoothly.

Xiahoudun immediately made a decision and yelled at Cao Hong: "Zilian, go quickly, I will stay here after the break!" I'll meet you later! ”

Cao Hong's mind was in turmoil at the moment, and he was in no mood to fight with Xiahou at all.

Whatever Xiahoudun commanded, he did as he did.

Cao Hong's horse galloped into the distance without looking back, and the remnants of the defeated army behind him were also frightened by the Hebei army, and fled in a panic.

Soon, Zhao Yun personally greeted Xiahoudun.

He looked at the direction of Cao Hong's escape with regret, and shook his head helplessly.

"It's a pity, the net was going to be closed, who would have thought that there would be an obstruction halfway, and it would be a good thing."

But since things are already like this, Zhao Yun has no choice, his mentality is quite peaceful, and he does not appear to be impetuous because Cao Hong escaped.

He just looked at Xiahoudun and the others quietly, and made up his mind that he would use these people as a substitute for the thieves who had escaped.

"Charge!"

With Zhao Yun's command, a short horn sounded.

Then he saw that the cavalry under Zhao Yun divided into three roads and rushed towards the front and the left and right flanks of Xiahoudun and his group.

The Cao army led by Xiahoudun was either brought from the Central Plains or the local people of Huainan...... At present, there was a lack of war horses, and most of them were foot soldiers, and in this darkness they were violently charged by the cavalry, and they were immediately divided into three sections.

Xiahoudun shouted loudly, commanded the soldiers, and stabilized the morale of the army, but he couldn't resist it, and could only watch his troops being disturbed by the other party in an instant.

"Don't panic, hold steady!"

Xiahoudun raised his spear and stabbed a Hebei knight to death, while roaring desperately.

But the current situation is beyond his control, and there is indeed a gap in the combat strength of the two forces.

Especially in terms of tactics, at present, Xiahoudun has not yet found a particularly good method to effectively defend against the attack and cutting of the Northland cavalry.

It was at this time that Zhao Yun and other knights rushed in front of Xiahoudun and the others.

Without saying a word, Zhao Yun commanded the soldiers to rush forward and started to attack Xiahoudun and his personal guards.

He himself aimed at the most formally dressed Xiahoudun in the enemy army.

Zhao Yun rode up and down in front of Xiahoudun, raised his spear, and smashed it at Xiahoudun without saying a word.

Yes, the current Zhao Yun is using a spear.

In this era, there were no spears, and most of the weapons used by people were spears or horse lances.

However, Liu Jian still made the spear in advance in the ironware workshop in Hebei.

A spear is a long-handled stabbing weapon composed of a sharp blade and a club, usually equipped in the forward position of a battle formation, and is used for tactical tasks such as charging into battle and raiding enemy formations.

Compared with spears, the spear has a more slender and sharp head, and at the same time, the head part of the spear is equipped with a barb made of fine iron or a sharp tip to increase the lethality and cutting power, and can be used in melee combat with different moves such as straight stabs, sweeps, and skimming.

Spears, on the other hand, are relatively simple to use and are mainly used for attacks such as throwing and sweeping.

People like Zhao Yun are still more suitable for using spears.

Xiahoudun was coldly attacked by Zhao Yun, and he couldn't react for a while, so he could only respond in a hurry.

Although Xiahoudun's martial arts skills are relatively high, he is in Yongguan Township, but compared with Zhao Yun, there is still a certain distance.

Of course, if the combat power of his personal guards is higher than that of Zhao Yun's personal guards, he can also help Xiahou Xuan to repel the other party.

But it's a pity that at present, the guards on Zhao Yun's side are more powerful and experienced than the guards on Xiahoudun's side.

In this way, the entire balance of combat power between the two sides was completely tilted in favor of Zhao Yun.

Xiahoudun can't count on the guards on the left and right, and how can he support Zhao Yun and the people under his command with his own strength?

Soon, he saw that Xiahoudun's body was already scarred, and there were no less than several cuts made by Zhao Yun's spear, and the blood flowed outward.

And the guards around Xiahoudun have also been defeated by Zhao Yun's personal guards.

At this time, the knights under Zhao Yun's command had isolated Xiahoudun from his soldiers and horses, and surrounded him in a circle, so that he could not escape.

Xiahoudun panted and looked at Zhao Yun and his men not far away.

At this time, his heart had fallen into despair.

In this case, unless the other party has great kindness, it is impossible for him to escape.

Thinking of this, Xiahoudun's heart couldn't help but feel sad.

He actually really wanted to do something big with Cao Cao.

Who would have thought that not long after his debut, before his reputation was revealed, he was about to fall here.

Xiahoudun reached out and touched the wound on his waist.

This was stabbed by Zhao Yun with a shot in the battle just now, and the blood from the wound had already soaked a large piece of his armor.

Not to mention continuing to fight with Zhao Yun, if he didn't treat it quickly, maybe he just needed to stay here for a while, and let the wound bleed if it was not treated, and his life would be gone.

At this time, I heard Zhao Yun on the opposite side shouting loudly.

"Who is the enemy general, can you dare to report your name?"

Xiahoudun held back the severe pain and shouted loudly.

"A certain is Sima under the account of Cao Gong, Xiahoudun! Fight the thief today! Accidentally strayed into the thief formation, today is my death period, I am not afraid, you can kill me quickly. ”

Although Xiahoudun was seriously injured at the moment, he still tried his best to shout to Zhao Yun, whether it was morale or character, he was not weak at all.

Zhao Yun listened to Xiahoudun's shout, and a little admiration rose in his heart.

"Xiahoudun, if you surrender, I will recommend you to General Zuo, not only can spare your life, but also make you reused by the court, if you don't want to, I will capture you alive in front of General Zuo today, and punish you for the crime of anti-thief."

When Xiahoudun heard this, he looked up to the sky and smiled.

"I am Cao Mengde's close clansman, can Liu Jianyan use me?!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yun's eyes immediately narrowed.

Since he has such a relationship with Cao Cao, he must be captured alive.

However, Xiahoudun did not give Zhao Yun this opportunity.

He threw his blade to the ground, and then drew his saber from his waist and slung it across his neck.

Xiahoudun looked at the dark night sky in the distance, and only felt infinite sadness in his heart.

This charge is not his forte.

Compared with fighting in front of the battle, he is better at tuntian and managing the rear.

Oh, Mengde, Mengde, if you had a clear understanding of me and knew what I was good at, would my ending be a little different today?

But in this world, there is no regret medicine to take.

Xiahoudun closed his eyes and touched his neck with his sword without hesitation.

Then I saw a stitch of blood splashing in the sky!

In this way, the great general of Cao Wei in history, when he had not yet shown his fame, fell in this era.

Zhao Yun came to Xiahoudun's corpse, quietly looked at Xiahoudun on the ground, and shook his head.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, looking at your appearance, you seem to be an ambitious person, but it's a pity that you ended up with an unpaid ambition, a pity!"

After saying that, I saw Zhao Yun turn around and order the people behind him.

"Bring his body back, and turn it back and hand it over to the lord."

"No!"
