"Thieves, die!"
Xia Houyuan originally thought that the two archers of the Youzhou Army could only harass and not charge into the formation, but the facts proved that he was wrong. When he was shocked to realize that something was wrong on both wings, he had no other choice. The only thing he could do was to kill Zhao Yun, the commander of the Youzhou Army, as soon as possible to restore his own defeat. It was out of this idea that Xia Houyuan did not pay attention to the life and death of the soldiers on both wings, and roared all the way to kill Zhao Yun. .
"kill!"
Zhao Yun is a general who has fought hundreds of battles. How could he be afraid of Xia Houyuan's ferocious arrogance? He rushed forward without giving in, and with a loud shout, the bright silver spear in his hand struck like thunder. Go out and grab Xia Houyuan's chest as fast as lightning.
"Ahhhh..."
Seeing the blood droplets flying from the tip of Zhao Yun's spear, Xia Houyuan was so angry that he roared loudly and struck at him with a knife.
"clang!"
The battle between fierce generals focused on momentum. At this time when the needles were facing each other, no one was willing to give in. The swords and guns collided with each other without any accident. At that time, there was a shocking loud noise and a huge backlash. Not only did the second general's body suddenly tilt backwards, but the war horse under his seat even stood upright with a strained neigh.
"call……"
Although they are indistinguishable in terms of strength, Zhao Yun's reaction speed is obviously faster than Xia Houyuan's. Zhao Yun exerted force on his waist and abdomen, stamped his feet violently, and forcibly suppressed the standing war horse. He came down, and at the same time, he took advantage of the situation and hit Xia Houyuan head and face with a spear like a whip.
"clang!"
Although Xia Houyuan's reaction speed was not as fast as Zhao Yun's, it was not slow either. When he saw Zhao Yun's spear coming, he followed it up with a horizontal knife and a move of "raising fire to the sky" and then forcefully attacked him, but he heard a loud noise. During the violence, although Xia Houyuan's arms were sore from being hit, he successfully used the force of the impact to forcefully control the frightened horse beneath him.
"Good thief, come again!"
When the whip blow failed to work, Zhao Yun could not help but be a little surprised by Xia Houyuan's bravery, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Before Xia Houyuan could recover from the dizziness caused by the repeated head-on collisions, he was followed by a Sheathing the gun, her arms suddenly shot up, and dozens of shots were fired in an instant. The huge gun flowers flickered and flickered, and like a dream or mist, Xia Houyuan and his men and horses were involved in it.
"Dang, Dang Dang..."
Good Xia Houyuan, although he suffered a secret loss in the previous head-on collision, the sword moves in his hand were not slow at all. After struggling with his strength, he actually got into a fight with Zhao Yun, with intensive collisions. The sound was like rain hitting banana trees, and the thirty rounds had passed in an instant, and the force value was slightly inferior. It was so miserable that I couldn't help but panic.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
He was already at a disadvantage, and when he panicked again, the battle became even more impossible to fight. Zhao Yun clumsily took dozens of shots from left and right, and Xia Houyuan was beaten until he was sweating. He didn't want to do anything, he didn't intend to stay and wait for death. He just made a false move with his knife and deceived Zhao Yun. Then he clamped the horse's belly hard and fled to the east in panic.
"Don't leave, just leave your head behind!"
Seeing that Xia Houyuan was about to escape, Zhao Yun refused to give up. He roared like thunder and chased after him. The bright silver spear in his hand swept westward and smashed all the soldiers in the way into flying trapezes. It was a pity that he started late. , even though they were fighting furiously all the way forward, they could not pursue them very far, and it was difficult to find Xia Houyuan among the rebels.
Escape, run away like crazy. It doesn't matter if Xia Houyuan is defeated like this. The soldiers of Cao's army who have been killed by Youzhou cavalry still have no fighting spirit at all. They all turn around and flee in chaos. When they see this, The officers and soldiers of the Youzhou Army were naturally unwilling to miss this opportunity to beat the drowned dog, so they launched a large-scale pursuit without hesitation. Using battalions as units, they divided into groups and attacked together, constantly taking bites out of most of the fleeing Cao army. , after eating and wiping them clean, they took advantage of the speed of the cavalry to catch up, and continued to eat away at Cao Jun's soldiers and horses according to the old routine. This chase led them ten miles to the west, and the first kill left Cao Jun lying on the ground with corpses. It can be said that they were escaping all the way and dying all the way. The situation was so miserable that Cao Jun had no precedent in previous campaigns.
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
After chasing for sixty miles, the sky gradually darkened. For fear of encountering an ambush, Zhao Yun did not dare to pursue the general so endlessly and eat up a rout of Cao's army that was lagging behind. After the battle, Zhao Yun finally issued the order to retreat. At this point, the first collision between Youzhou Army and Cao Army came to an end. In this battle, Youzhou Army lost more than 350 cavalry, while Cao Army lost 3,000 people. Of the more than 800 people, nearly 2,000 were captured, and most of the remaining troops were defeated. There were less than 1,500 people who could actually follow Xia Houyuan and escape to the camp outside Pushan City...
"Report to General, General Xia Houyuan has returned from defeat, with only more than 1,300 troops left in his unit."
At Chen Shi, five miles outside Pushan City, in Cao Jun's camp, Xiahou Dun had just gotten up and was having a simple breakfast. Suddenly, he saw a military lord on duty hurried in and saluted Xiahou Dun. , reported with a worried expression.
"What? Tell him to come in, go quickly, go quickly!"
Upon hearing that Xiahou Yuan had returned with a disastrous defeat, Xiahou Dun's eyes immediately widened. He obviously could not imagine that his 10,000-strong army would be defeated by Liu Bei's 3,000 old and weak men.
"Brother..."
Since Xia Houyuan followed Cao Cao in raising troops in Chenliu, he has never been defeated so miserably. When he entered the Chinese army's tent, he only called out, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Second brother, what is going on? How can that straw sandal seller cause the second brother to suffer such a disastrous defeat?"
Seeing Xiahou Yuan in such a state of embarrassment, Xiahou Dun was immediately frightened and stood up in a panic, then asked.
"Brother, we are soldiers and horses from Youzhou. My younger brother led his troops to drive away Liu Da'er. Unexpectedly, the Youzhou thieves suddenly arrived and killed Zhao Yun with 5,000 cavalry. Our army was caught off guard and was at a disadvantage in the battle, so... …well!"
Xia Houyuan was embarrassed to say that he was defeated by Zhao Yun in a head-on battle, but instead blamed the Youzhou Army's surprise attack as the reason for his defeat.
"Where's Zihe?"
The two brothers had known each other for many years. How could Xiahou Dun not be aware of his younger brother's strong personality? He knew immediately that Xia Houyuan was not telling the truth, but he did not try to expose it. He glanced left and right, and suddenly discovered that one of the generals who followed Xia Houyuan into the camp was actually Xiahou Dun. Without Cao Chun, his heart sank involuntarily, and he immediately shouted.
"Alas... I was lost in the formation."
When Xiahou Dun asked about Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan's face immediately turned pale. After a moment of silence, he sighed and gave his answer.
"ah……"
Upon hearing that Cao Chun died in battle, Xiahou Dun's heart suddenly felt cold, and he didn't know what to say for a while...
