Xu Rong smiled and said: "Xiahoudun is as anxious as fire, so he is naturally anxious to start a war with us, and Cao Ren is a steady person and will definitely not rush to send troops, so I will transfer the elite troops to the back, and Xiahoudun will definitely come before Cao Ren." The reason why we say that we want to fight a protracted war is because our move is not to defeat Xiahoudun, but to attract Xiahoudun's attention, so as to lay the foundation for the Lord to attack Xiaopei, do you understand what I mean now? ”

Xu Rong spoke eloquently and clearly, but Xu Chu always felt that he was listening to the book of heaven. He nodded reluctantly and said, "I seem to understand." ”

Xu Rong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, hurry up and prepare for battle, I think Xiahoudun will probably be able to arrive before dark." ”

Xu Chuhan laughed, raised his knife and walked towards the back of the army.

Sure enough, as Xu Rong expected, when the sky was dark, there was already the sound of rumbling horses' hooves in the valley behind him, because Xu Rongjun's marching speed had slowed down at this time, so the rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him was particularly noticeable.

Xu Rong raised his hand to signal everyone to stop for the time being, then turned over and dismounted, fell to the ground and listened, and after listening for a while, he already had a plan in his heart. This Xu Rong is really a genius, just by his ears, he can already roughly guess that Xiahoudun's troops this time are about 50,000 to 100,000, and Xu Rong's soldiers and horses are 80,000, which can be said to be evenly matched.

Thinking of this, Xu Rong's resolute and firm face showed a confident expression, and he raised his head and hissed: "Prepare for battle!" ”

As Xu Rong's hoarse voice resounded through the valley, the soldiers of the entire legion suddenly became excited, after all, Xu Rong had already ordered them to prepare a defensive formation, and at this time they were even more prepared, and the spears and knives in their hands were all brushed to the sky, and shouted in unison: "Order!" ”

The voices of 80,000 people were not cluttered, and this shout, the shouting was uniform, which was enough to see how rigorous Xu Rong's training was.

Xiahoudun, who was galloping on a horse in the distance, suddenly trembled in his heart, as if he felt that he had heard a strange sound, but he immediately calmed down, turned his head and asked Shi Lian beside him: "Shi Lian, did you hear any movement?" ”

Shi Jian also heard a thunderclap in the valley just now, which seemed to be the roar of soldiers, but he didn't think that Chen Yan's army would suddenly roar in unison, he frowned and said, "I seem to have heard something, but I don't know what the sound is." ”

Xiahoudun pondered for a moment and said, "Who knows what the hell this guy Chen Yan is doing, he has always been a cunning person, let's be careful." ”

Shi Jian was not worried in his heart, after all, Puyang, where Cao Ren was stationed in the front, and Xiaopei in the back, there would be no problem. He immediately sneered and said, "I think that Chen Yan is just in vain, if we sneak attack, he will definitely be at a loss!" ”

The two of you said a word, and in a blink of an eye, they had reached Kailing, where the mountains were suddenly steep, and the valley became narrow, if the army was fighting, this place was definitely not a good place.

At this moment, Xiahoudun suddenly saw a dazzling thing on the road ahead, he rode forward, looked carefully, but suddenly gasped!

Shi Jian saw that Xiahoudun reacted abnormally, and hurriedly rode his horse to follow, he looked at Xiahoudun's stunned expression, and followed his gaze, but he was also dumbfounded.

I saw a horse and a person lying in the middle of the narrow valley road, the horse was Cao Jun's war horse, the saddle and armor on the war horse were Cao Jun's usual blue and black, and the person was Xiahoudun's spy, this person Xiahoudun knew, and he had seen it this morning.

There were a total of three people who came out to follow Chen Yan's army, two of them came back to report the news, and the remaining one was him.

The man died a terrible death, a long arrow through his brow and then through the back of his head, and it was such a terrible death that it was evident that he had been pierced through the head by an arrow as he was hurrying.

He fell to the ground on all fours, but the blood on the side had not dried up, and it was obvious that he had just died.

Shi Jian lost his cool a little, and he said a little anxiously: "Let's ...... We're afraid we've been discovered, right? ”

Xiahoudun forced his composure, he stared at the still winding valley path in the distance with one eye, gritted his teeth and said: "Good Chen Yan, it seems that he didn't just find out, our attack is probably already in Chen Yan's expectation......"

Shi Jian was originally full of confidence, but now when he heard Xiahoudun say this, a chill suddenly poured out, and he began to be a little scared, not knowing what kind of opponent the legendary white-haired god and demon Chen Yan was.

He looked at Xiahoudun and asked in a low voice, "General, are we going to fight, or are we ...... Or retreat? ”

When Xiahoudun heard this, he jumped like thunder, suddenly turned to glare at Shi Lian, and shouted: "Retreat?!" I have never said this word, and I will never say this word, we have abundant troops, and there is Zixiao's Puyang in front of us, if Chen Yan is caught between me and Zixiao in this valley, how can he have a chance to live? Now you're going to let me quit? Joke! ”

Shi Jian is a soft-eared person, and when Xiahoudun said this, he immediately regained his anger, and immediately nodded and said: "Yes, yes, we will definitely be able to kill Chen Yan and prevent future troubles for the lord." ”

Xiahoudun sneered, turned over on his horse suddenly, carried an iron gun, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, cheer me up, there will be no Chen Yan piece of armor that we will kill tonight!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals were also excited, and immediately responded, and the entire army immediately entered the battle state, and Xiahoudun took the lead and went to the depths of the valley.

At this time, it was getting late, and the light in the whole valley was not good, but now it was even more dim like a hellish scene, Xia Houdun only had one eye left, and his vision became blurred, but he was still fighting spirit, and his only eye was as big as a copper bell.

When he turned the mountain pass, Xiahoudun was stunned suddenly, only to see that at this time in front of the valley was a dense group of people, the reason why he said this is because this group of people stood too close, almost with their chests against their backs, shoulder to shoulder, Xiahoudun thought that the Chen Yan troops he encountered must be an army that was marching, but he didn't expect to see such a scene.

How did he know that Xu Rong had already predicted his arrival two hours ago, and had already made preparations, at this time, he was facing Xu Rong's team, which had already sharpened their swords, and it was a secret weapon that had never been shown in Chen Yan's army.

Xu Rong was the first nightmare for Xiahoudun, who had just joined the army a few years ago and suffered the most unforgettable defeat of his life in the west of Luoyang.

This was his first defeat since joining the army, and the reason for this defeat was Xu Rong.

An old and spicy military strategist, an excellent general.

And in this valley, at this time, it was already late, night had fallen, and poor Xiahoudun once again met the terrible Xu Rong.

However, what was even more terrifying was that he didn't know that he was facing Xu Rong.
