The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 196 Xia Houyuan: Impossible, Impossible

hide!
Can't hide!
In just an instant, the coldness rising from behind covered his whole body in an instant.

At this moment, Ji Ling felt that his scalp was about to explode.

He tried to twist his figure, even if he was being shot, as long as it was not fatal, he would be able to distance himself, and then the left and right guards would come up.

The thoughts in my mind became extremely clear at this moment.

It's just that everything is just an idea.

Seeing that Ji Ling no longer had the intention to fight, Zhao Yun's expression suddenly turned cold, and the gentian silver spear in his hand flicked forward.

The body of the gun was like a long snake piercing through the air, and it went straight to Ji Linghou's heart.

The tip of the spear made contact with the armor.

The force of this stab was not small, and Ji Ling's armor was already torn apart as the gun body was pulled forward.

Then, Ji Ling in front let out a cry of pain!
The tip of the spear penetrated Ji Ling's body, Zhao Yun did not hesitate at all, and suddenly exerted force with his right arm, and the huge force directly pulled Ji Ling's figure into the air from the horse.

At this time, the weapon in Ji Ling's hand had already landed quietly, and a trace of blood spread from the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, in the entire camp, the generals under Ji Ling's command seemed to have noticed this scene.

Immediately after, someone opened their mouths to shout.

"The general is dead, the general is dead!"

As the shouts became more and more loud, more and more generals put down their weapons in the entire camp.

With this kung fu, Dian Wei finally opened up his body and chased after him, but when he saw that Ji Ling was already hanging on the tip of Zhao Yun's spear, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Zilong, didn't I tell you to leave him to me!"

He complained to Zhao Yun that Ji Ling's skill is not bad in today's battle, at least it can make him happy.

It's just that Dian Wei didn't expect that the other party would be taken down by Zhao Yun so quickly.

"Yun Dao also wants to keep him, but I think he seems to have the intention of running away!"

Zhao Yun felt helpless.

The reason he didn't kill before was because Dian Wei yelled just now, but he never thought it was because of Dian Wei's yell.

The retreat in Ji Ling's heart became even more obvious.

It's not difficult for him to stop the opponent without hurting him.

It's just that Ji Ling never thought that even though she was injured, she wanted to distance herself from him.

If he was keeping his hand, the opponent would probably break free, and the situation in the camp would be difficult to control at that time.

The opportunity was fleeting, and Zhao Yun couldn't care less about it.

Hearing what Zhao Yun said, Dian Wei turned his head and spat at the dead Ji Ling.

It seems that he is scolding the other party for being disappointing.

At this time, following Ji Lingxiao's head, some soldiers who were still resisting in the entire barracks also gave up their resistance.

It didn't take long for the camp to become quieter.

All that was left was the flames that were still burning behind the camp.

"It's evil, don't be dazed, let someone put out the fire!"

Now that they have regained Ji Lingjun, the food that is burning now has naturally become their spoils of war.

Hearing Zhao Yun's yell, Dian Wei quickly led his men to put out the fire after he realized it.

……

And when Zhao Yun and Dian Wei attacked Ji Ling's army at night, they were far away from Xiapi City.

After the sound of fireworks exploding, a flash of fire appeared in the sky soon after.

Above the pitch-black sky, the flames illuminated the half-day sky.

Even if it is far away in the direction of Xiapi City, it can almost be seen clearly.

At this time, Xia Houyuan had already been woken up by his subordinates, and when the fire was so far above the sky, he was a little unresponsive.

After putting on his armor in a hurry, Xia Houyuan immediately rushed towards the direction of Xiapi City Wall.

When they reached the city wall of Xiapi, without the slightest hesitation, Xia Houyuan led his subordinates up the city wall.

The distant fire is still burning.

With just one glance, Xia Houyuan already realized what happened.

That direction, if he was not mistaken, was probably where Ji Ling's army was stationed.

He had already been there once during the night raid before, and now it is an all-too-familiar thing.

When Xia Houyuan climbed onto the city wall, Chen Deng, who was on top of the city wall at the moment, immediately noticed that someone was coming.

After seeing that it was Xia Houyuan, Chen Deng thought about it for a while and then took the initiative to approach him.

"Congratulations, General!"

Chen Deng spoke first.

In any case, it would be a good thing for the entire Xiapi to go far away from Ji Lingjun's camp and catch fire.

As Chen Deng spoke, the corners of Xia Houyuan's mouth twitched involuntarily.

He naturally understood what the other party meant.

However, thinking about the fire being ignited in Yuanyuan now, and today Xi Yu had said about the night attack, I think that this movement was made by that Xi Fengyi.

However, his subordinates told him that now Xi Fengyi is still in the city, and the other party has not even left Xiapi City, so the night attack has already been reported as a success.

It was somewhat difficult for Xia Houyuan to accept this matter.

Obviously, I also led people to attack at night last night, why is there such a big difference between the two.

Xia Houyuan's face turned black.

Chen Deng next to him naturally understood this skill.

He glanced at the flames in the distance, and already had some guesses.

"General, if my guess is correct, the place where the fire is burning at this moment must be where Ji Ling's army's supplies are!"

Chen Deng spoke.

After hearing this, Xia Houyuan suddenly understood.

Grain, as a general in the army, he naturally thought of attacking the other party's grain and grass during the night attack before.

It's just that it's so easy.

You know, for every general, the location of food and grass in the army is the most important thing.

Food and grass are related to the livelihood of an army, and there is no room for carelessness.

The defenders stationed in the food and grass must be the elite of the battalion, and their strength will even be several times that of other places.

How could such a place be easily attacked, or even set on fire.

This kind of thing, if you think about it, you will know how difficult it is.

But now, the fire that ignited far away, told them very clearly.

Xi Yu's strategy of night attack has already been somewhat successful.

Chen Deng next to him was also very clear. Chen Deng couldn't help but feel a little more solemn about this kung fu for Xi Yu.

The play Fengyi in the rumors is really not an ordinary person!
Being able to do things that are difficult for ordinary people so easily is naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Xia Houyuan was in a complicated mood.

Logically speaking, Ji Ling's army was wounded, and as the guard of Xuzhou, he should be extremely happy.

However, when he thought that it was Xi Yu who did this, it was difficult for him to be happy.

On the one hand, compared with his own night attack before, in this way, he doesn't look extraordinarily useless in front of the other party.

On the other hand, there is now some gap between Xi Fengyi and their members of the Cao clan.

Naturally, Xia Houyuan couldn't be happy that he was no longer a fellow traveler.

What Xia Houyuan thought, Chen Deng beside him didn't really care.

In Chen Deng's view, the injury of Ji Ling's army was a good thing in itself, so their ability to act righteously made them recognize it somewhat.

……

When Chen Deng and Xia Houyuan stared at the fire on the hillside on the city wall.

At the same time in Xiapi City, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia are looking up at the sky from a tall building.

Even though the flames outside Xiapi City are a little far away, they can still be seen against the sky.

"It seems that the night attack tonight has been accomplished!"

Guo Jia looked at the sky and then chuckled lightly.

Xi Zhicai on the side nodded.

The two of them naturally believed in Xi Yu very much. After seeing the flames flashing above the sky, the two of them didn't look much, turned around and returned to the building on their own.

After about an hour, the light from the distant fire gradually went out.

At this time, Xiahouyuan and Chen Deng both frowned on Xiapi City.

At this moment, Xia Houyuan was standing on the city wall, his mind was a little confused.

Chen Deng began to think about how to deal with the relationship with Xi Yu next.

I don't know how long it took, when the two were silent with each other, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes outside the city of Xiapi.

Just listening to the sound, one knows that there are many war horses going far away.

This kind of movement is at least the sound that can only be reflected by thousands of people.

The horse's hooves vibrated, and even the entire city wall of Xiapi felt some tremors.

The sudden voice brought Xia Houyuan and Chen Deng back to their senses in an instant.

The two subconsciously looked into the distance, and the sky had not yet lit up.

I don't know if it was because of the fire in the distance just now, the crescent moon that was originally hanging above the sky was just hidden behind the clouds.

The sky became a little darker.

There seems to be a large army outside the city, and it is difficult to tell the enemy from ourselves.

At the first moment, Xia Houyuan had a new warning sign, but he didn't think that the troops Xi Yu sent out to attack at night would return at this time.

It is true that the flames appear from a long distance, and it has only been worth about an hour until now.

It was a little too fast.

Even if Ji Ling was defeated, it was impossible to lose so much.

But at this moment, when an army suddenly appeared outside the city, Xia Houyuan instinctively thought it was the enemy army coming to attack.

Chen Deng next to him thought the same way.

Neither of them thought about the return of the night raiding army, but that there might be enemy troops taking advantage of this time to attack Xiapi City.

Almost subconsciously, Xia Houyuan asked the people on the city wall to extinguish the torches.

Immediately afterwards, he opened his mouth and gave an order.

"Order, guard the army under martial law, and prevent the enemy from attacking the city!"

Xia Houyuan was a little anxious, but Chen Deng beside him didn't say much.

At this time, he hid behind the battlements, as if he was afraid that some arrows would fly up from below the city.

At the same time, not far outside the city.

The movement caused by the horseshoe was precisely Zhao Yun and his party who had just returned from the camp.

This night raid not only killed Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling, but also captured [-] soldiers and horses in the opponent's camp along with the Suwei camp.

If it wasn't for the darkness of night, there would be camp noises in Ji Ling's camp.

I'm afraid they can capture more soldiers, and more than ten thousand soldiers are no longer a problem.

After capturing Ji Ling's army, Zhao Yun didn't delay any longer, after saving some food and grass.

He and Dian Wei hurriedly led the people back towards Xiapi City immediately.

According to the original plan, Huang Zhong would meet them at the east gate of Xiapi.

However, on the way back, because of the darkness, when Zhao Yun and Dian Wei led the people back, they unknowingly walked to the south gate of Xiapi.

At this time, when Zhao Yun saw the torches burning on the city wall from a distance, Zhao Yun instinctively thought that he and the others had not gone wrong.

Presumably Huang Zhong was waiting for them on the city wall.

Everyone quickly began to look at the city and approach.

However, who would have thought that at this moment, the torches on the city wall were suddenly extinguished one by one.

Even before Zhao Yun and others approached, dozens of piercing sounds suddenly resounded in the surrounding air.

Fortunately, the distance was not close and it was night again. The sharp arrows that pierced the sky did not cause any damage to the group led by Zhao Yun.

However, the sharp arrow that suddenly appeared still gave Zhao Yun and others a warning.

"what's going on?"

Dian Wei yelled beside Zhao Yun.

They just came here, why are there suddenly cold arrows shot down from above the city wall.

This is obviously something wrong!
Zhao Yun frowned, he didn't even think about what was going on.

He still didn't know that he led people to the wrong city gate, and seeing that it was indeed Xiapi City in front of him at this time, he was a little dazed for a while.

"I don't know either!"

Zhao Yun shook his head and looked over the city wall with his eyes. The distance was a bit far, and because of the moonlight being covered, it was difficult to see the situation on the city wall clearly.

He could only let his soldiers stop first, and only then did he find the scouts to investigate.

At the same time, on the city wall.

The defenders of Xiapi City were somewhat nervous.

Although it was hard to see clearly under the darkness of night, not far from the city, there was a continuous blackness, which made people a little nervous.

"General, the army below seems to have stopped!"

Someone spoke towards Xia Houyuan.

Xia Houyuan naturally saw the movement.

However, although the army under the city stopped, it didn't have the slightest intention of retreating.

"Let someone check it out, who is lying on the ground underneath?"

The other party did not choose to attack the city, so Xia Houyuan was naturally not in a hurry. If he could find out the identity of the other party, it would not be too late.

However, at this time, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed towards this place from the direction of Dongcheng.

The leader is Huang Zhong.

Previously, when Huang Zhong saw the flames rising outside Xiapi City, he knew that Zhao Yun and others had successfully attacked at night.

Afterwards, after seeing the flames go out, he waited for Zhao Yun and others to return.

They just waited and waited, but they never saw any returning troops in front of the East City.

This made Huang Zhong somewhat puzzled.

Until, just now, Xia Houyuan suddenly ordered the soldiers in the city to gather under martial law to prepare for an attack on the city.

Huang Zhong then realized that something was wrong.

How could someone come to attack the city at this time!

If there is such a movement, Zhao Yun and others are the only ones who have returned to the army.

It's just that Zhao Yun brought people back, shouldn't he go to the east gate as agreed, why did he run to the south gate?

Anyway, before Zhao Yun came back, Huang Zhong asked his men to keep watching at the east gate.

On the other hand, he hastily led a group of soldiers to the south city wall.

After falling on the south city, Huang Zhong raised his eyes and saw Chen Deng standing behind the battlements looking down the city.

He moved forward, and at this moment, the clouds covering the crescent moon just shifted away.

Suddenly, the surrounding area became a little brighter.

At the same time, under the city wall.

The scout horse that Zhao Yun sent in the past has already returned to Zhao Yun's side.

"General, we have gone through the wrong city gate, the one ahead is Xiapi South Gate!"

Tanma responded.

It was only at this time that Zhao Yun realized that when he led the people back, he had gone astray.

But whether it is the South City or the East City, Xiapi City is in front of you.

"What about the south gate and the east gate, aren't they all Xiapi?"

Dian Wei hummed beside him, Zhao Yun followed suit and nodded.

Since it is Xiapi City, it is right, the moonlight appears at this time.

Zhao Yun rode his horse forward and approached Xiapi city alone.

"Let the people in the city know that I am under the Taiwei Xi, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong!"

"Our army has won a big victory in the night attack this time, and Ji Ling, the leader of the army, has captured [-] soldiers and is under the city. Please order the guard to open the door quickly!"

Zhao Yun uttered his voice towards the city.

After Huang Zhong heard Zhao Yun's voice, he immediately understood.

This guy, didn't he agree to go to the east gate, so why did he come to the south gate?

It hurt him to wait a while.

Before Huang Zhong could speak, Xia Houyuan and Chen Deng, who also heard the voice beside them, widened their eyes at the same time.

The army under the city turned out to be under Xi Yu's command.

What did the man say just now? When they attacked at night, they killed Ji Ling and captured [-] soldiers.

How unbelievable this thing sounds!
Xia Houyuan couldn't believe it, while Chen Deng beside him looked down the city under the moonlight.

At this moment, Xiapi city is full of dense figures everywhere.

And under the city wall, a white-robed general was holding a silver gun and looking up towards the city wall.

Could it be true?

These people don't look like they are attacking the city.

Chen Deng subconsciously glanced at Xia Houyuan, but Xia Houyuan couldn't help shaking his head.

Impossible, impossible at all!
Even if one of Xi Yu's subordinates succeeded in the night raid, it's so simple to say that the night raid kills the general.

What's more, eight thousand soldiers were captured in World War I.

Do you really think that Ji Ling is an idiot?
If that Ji Ling was really a fool, why did he lead the army to a big defeat when he attacked at night the day before!

Xia Houyuan didn't want to believe it, or even couldn't believe it.

When he shook his head, he didn't look down the city at all.

But at this time, Huang Zhong, who had just come over from the side, had already seen clearly Zhao Yun's attire under the city.

Just looking at the figure with his eyes, and hearing Zhao Yun's voice, Huang Zhong already believed that the man under the city was Zhao Yun.

He poked his figure out of the battlements.

"It's Zilong down here. Didn't you agree with me that when I returned to the army, I went to the east gate, why did I come to the south gate now!"

Huang Zhong opened his mouth with a teasing tone.

After hearing Huang Zhong's voice, Zhao Yun in the city couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

He thought that something happened in the city just now, but now he heard Huang Zhong's voice, he felt a lot more at ease.

"Brother Han Sheng, when I just returned to the army, the moonlight was dim, and Yun saw the wrong direction for a while!"
