Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 500 Come back to life?

"Han army, the Han army is coming again!" A group of brightly armored soldiers fled quickly on horseback, their horseshoes flying, mud and dust flying, and their knives and guns lost.Sometimes someone fell to the ground and was trampled by the people behind, unable to get up again.

Behind them, five hundred Xiliang cavalry came like a dragon.All the knights on the horse carried iron sacks, and they were silent, their faces covered with hideous bronze masks, allowing the Liangzhou horses to step through the cold night.Especially the few knights in front of them were still dripping with blood from their spears, making them look like vengeful ghosts rushing out of hell.

The leading general in front had an iron basket in his hand that was even longer than that of ordinary Xiliang iron cavalry.He was dressed in white battle armor, with a snow peak-like helmet fringe fluttering in the night wind, his face like a crown of jade carried a serious murderous look, and with a shake of the iron basket in his hand, he had already pierced into the back of a person.The man let out a miserable cry, and a huge flower of blood exploded on his chest, and the shining tip of the spear came out.Zhang Xiu didn't care, he flicked his gun slightly to throw the soldier away, then rushed to the second person, and stabbed him to death again.

"It's him again, this damned Northland gun king!" Seeing this scene, the soldiers in Cao Ying shouted with fear instead of anger.

But in the arena, hearing the screams and watching the robes around him being killed one by one, none of the sentry knights dared to turn their heads, and kept running away like this—— these days, how many times Zhang Xiu Breaking into the camp overnight has already made them terrified.Now the reputation of Zhang Xiu and Xiliang Iron Cavalry is synonymous with death in Cao Jun's heart.

"General, let the last general fight!" Cao Xiu, who was still hanging his arms, couldn't bear to watch the Xiliang iron cavalry outside the camp so rampant.However, when he saw the injured tiger and leopard riders behind him, the anger just now turned into shame.

These days, Cao Bing already knew that the reinforcements from the Han Dynasty had arrived.During the day, Gao Shun and Xu Rong fought repeatedly, which put them under great psychological pressure, and the rumor that Taishan County suddenly surrendered to the Han Dynasty made them even more suspicious.As a result, Zhang Xiu's first foray into the camp was directly in front of the Chinese army's tent!If Cao Ren hadn't ordered Cao Xiu to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to fight, I don't know what consequences Zhang Xiu would have caused.

However, Cao Xiu made a mistake in that confrontation.Young and energetic, he naturally couldn't understand Zhang Xiu's arrogance. As a result, when two thousand tiger and leopard riders chased into the woods, they were suddenly destroyed by Zhang Xiu's sneer.

Cao Xiu clearly remembered that the moonlight was bright and clear that night, and Zhang Xiuli's mockery under the moon was like an eternal picture engraved in his heart.After that, thousands of arrows were fired from the woods, and the three hundred tiger and leopard cavalry warriors immediately fell under their horses.If Xiahou Dun hadn't led the army to come to meet him later, Cao Xiu might have been caught in the counterattack of the Xiliang iron cavalry.

Three hundred tigers and leopards don't sound like a lot.But Cao Xiu knew that each of these tiger and leopard cavalry warriors was at the level of a hundred generals, and there were only three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry in the entire Cao army.And with just one recklessness, he directly reduced the strength of this ace army by one-tenth!

"Don't attack! Order the soldiers to force them back with bows and crossbows, and let the sentries go out tonight, and the rest of the soldiers will stand by!" Xiahou Dun's face was cold and stern, facing Zhang Xiu's back and forth demonstrations in front of the camp gate, he could only choose to shrink back like this means of defense.

Compared with Cao Xiu, Xiahou Dun was more worried, and his vision was farther-reaching: These days, the Han army is so aggressive and stalking, it is obvious that it has made the determination to attack.And the soldiers of the self-army, under the repeated offensives of the Han army, have no power to fight back at all...

In the current situation, the Han army is like a pack of wolves in the wilderness. They are harassing and wasting the strength and life of a bison again and again. When they see that the bison is exhausted, they will completely give up this method of warfare. .Instead, with the momentum of dark clouds overwhelming the top, he sent out the last impact quickly and powerfully, completely defeating the self-army!
To be honest, if the opponent Liu Xie is not an enemy, Xiahou Dun admires this kind of tactics very much.Ordinary mediocre generals, when the reinforcements arrive, must be impatient to launch a general offensive.At that time, the two armies will fall into a bloody and cruel fight, and even if they win in the end, they will have to pay a heavy price for it.

But Liu Xie didn't do this. When the situation was very good, he was not carried away.Instead, he manipulated the battle situation with more refined and delicate techniques, forcing Xiahou Dun to have no way to advance or retreat.And when the time is completely ripe, Liu Xie's Han army only needs to put on the appearance of a full-scale general attack, and it can wipe out its [-]-strong army in an instant...

'Meng De, I have reported all the battle situation here to you, why do you still agree with my withdrawal strategy? Seeing the Xiliang iron cavalry in front of the camp gate being forced back by the raindrops of arrows, but in fact none of the Xiliang iron cavalry was injured and only thousands of arrows were wasted for nothing, Xiahou Dun murmured helplessly in his heart.

To be honest, until this time, Xiahoudun didn't know how he made the battle like this.Obviously when the army came, Puyang was in turmoil, and there was Yuan Shao's reinforcements in the north, so the situation was favorable to our own army.But after half a month, Xiahou Dun suddenly found himself at a disadvantage in the battle.Even now, in order to preserve their strength, they still think about withdrawing as many as possible.

Yes, it was all withdrawn, not a temporary retreat to avoid the edge of the Han army.Because, three days ago, deserters had already appeared in the barracks.Once ordered to retreat, Xiahou Dun could not imagine how many deserters would appear along the way.I don't even know how the morale of the army will be so low that it will collapse...

'But, is it hard to consume like this? Xiahoudun blamed himself for his incompetence, but at the same time, he was even more puzzled: Why did Mengde waste himself here like this?
As a general, Xiahoudun really didn't know the meaning of doing so.However, as the most entrusted general under Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun has already decided that even if he may be defeated by the Han army in the next moment, he will maintain the attitude he should have at this moment and carry out Cao Cao's order to the end !
After all, what is in front of us is nothing but tactics.As for the larger strategy, although Xiahou Dun has dabbled in it, he is not proficient.Especially when the number of counselors under Cao Cao's command who can change the color of the country is increasing and becoming more and more gorgeous, Xia Houdun feels that it is better to leave professional matters to professionals.

"Hahaha, Xiahou kid, I want to see how long you can shrink back!" Just as Xiahoudun was thinking about this, Zhang Xiu laughed for a while, then lifted the rein, and the war horse raised its front hooves in the air like a dragon planing.

In terms of age alone, Xiahou Dun is much older than Zhang Xiu. When Zhang Xiu humiliated him as 'Xiahou Xiaoer', he immediately turned sullen.But before he could react, the big Liangzhou horse under Zhang Xiu's crotch roared, and its front hooves fell.Then a cloud of smoke gradually faded away.

Although the people left, the remaining prestige still exists. The generals in Cao Ying watched all this and were dazzled for a long time.Especially for Xiahou Dun, his anger was suffocated in his belly, which made him so angry that he almost lost control.

But what made him most indignant and helpless was that although the Xiliang iron cavalry finally retreated, they left corpses all over the ground.

These corpses are the corpses of the sentry sentry that Cao Jun shot to death when Xiahou Dun ordered to shoot arrows just now.

Most of them did not die under the Xiliang iron cavalry, but died under the bows and crossbows of their own people-this cruel reality is before their eyes, making the next batch of soldiers who are about to serve as sentries look at the robes around them The sad eyes of the rabbits and foxes suddenly felt chills in their hearts.

Therefore, Xiahou Dun, who had just made up his mind, suddenly felt that something like determination can be used to discipline himself.But it is useless to constrain a battle.

Zhang Xiu also agrees with this point very much, so what he reported to Liu Xie was: "Your Majesty, Cao Jun's morale is in turmoil and morale is low. The general believes that tomorrow's general attack is the right time."

I thought that such a suggestion would be greatly appreciated by Liu Xie, who is now celebrating the welcome, but unexpectedly, the emperor Liu Xie looked at the extraordinary Zhang Xiu, but he couldn't be happy at all: "Let's step down first, this matter is my responsibility." Make up your own mind.”

Wait until the curtain floats over Zhang Xiu's battle robe, completely covering Zhang Xiu's back.Liu Xie took a leisurely glance behind him, frowned and said to the huge soldier: "Do you really think that Cao Cao still has a way to bring the dead back to life?"

"Your Majesty, don't you think the same? Otherwise, why would you suddenly transfer Jia Wenhe and Xun Gongda to Chenliu and Guanzhong at this moment?" After Bing La, he slowly walked out of Li Ru's figure.At this moment, even though the big tents were brightly lit, his expression was as dark as Liu Xie's...
