Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 506 The Battle of Puyang
Xiahou Dun's palms were covered with sweat, and he looked haggard with red eyes.These days, he has hardly slept a full night's sleep, and what he worries about every day and night is the current situation.

He swears to God that he has never been tortured like this since he led the army.He obviously holds more than [-] elite soldiers in his hands, but he is trapped in the camp and dare not take an inch.Even, strict military discipline and daily patrols are required to prevent soldiers from defecting.

As a general, Xiahoudun has never lacked the courage to go out to fight. Even if he dies on the battlefield, he thinks it is better than living like this now.But his other identity, the commander on the west side of Cao Mengde, prevented him from being so reckless and pinning the battle on a fluke.

Fortunately, I finally received a piece of good news today: Cao Cao is about to lead an army to Puyang to fight the Han Dynasty!
However, as the commander-in-chief here, Xiahou Dun wanted to write a letter admonishing Cao Cao not to be impulsive.Because according to his judgment and experience, he felt that Cao Cao's visit this time might be the end of Cao Jun.

But the pen dipped in thick ink did not fall after all: so what if Cao Cao doesn't come?Is it possible to let the Han army march so arrogantly, and then wait for the city-breaking battles again and again to gradually destroy the morale and morale of the self-army, and then occupy the entire Yanzhou?
Instead of this, it's better to put all one's eggs in one basket, maybe you can survive the desperate situation.It has never been Xiahou Dun's style to sit and wait to die, and it will not be Cao Cao's style either.

As a result, Xiahou Dun pushed away the pen and paper on the case table, and picked up the iron gun beside him.He knew that the Han army deliberately didn't attack the camp last night, just to recharge their batteries for tonight's attack: since they can't escape, they can't retreat...then, let's fight!
At the same time, Liu Xie had already spread out the map on the horse and measured it with his fingers, holding his chin and lost in thought.

According to the information obtained by Jin Yiwei, Cao Cao had marched to Dongping and was preparing to cross the river to support Xiahou Dun.Crossing the river in the Han Dynasty was still a very difficult and time-consuming task, but if the time for transmitting information was counted, Cao Cao might meet Xiahou Dun tonight.

As a result, Liu Xie began to wonder whether Cao Cao had carefully calculated such a marching speed.Now it will be dark in half an hour. If the army launches a general attack, although Xiahou Dun's camp will definitely be broken, it is very likely that there will be a chaotic night battle with Cao Cao's main force.In that case, the outcome is naturally unpredictable.

But if he waited until Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun joined forces before launching a general attack, Liu Xie didn't know how much his own army's chances of winning would be.After all, Cao Cao still had an army of [-], and he was still making a wish along the way, and he successfully used the Taishan incident to severely stimulate Cao Jun.Now the [-] army came here with hatred and anger. Once they were allowed to integrate into Xiahoudun's army with an angry aura, they would fall into a decisive battle after that, and no one could predict the result.

Liu Xie hated that feeling of uncertainty. Although he did not lack the courage to invest soldiers in a big gamble, he hoped to get a solution that had the best of both worlds.

"Your Majesty, are you still worried about the general offensive?" Sima Yi appeared at the right time and also took out a map.The difference from Liu Xie's is that the map is drawn in a mess with charcoal, and there are even some symbols that Liu Xie can't understand at all.

However, after Sima Yi explained it to Liu Xie slightly, Liu Xie understood that the mess on those pictures was a poisonous plan that could make Xiahou Dun's entire army mess up.

"Tell me the order, the army will pull out the camp, and immediately launch an all-out attack!" A smile appeared on Liu Xie's gloomy face.But Zhao Yun had some doubts: "Your Majesty, since we know that Cao Mengde is here in person, I am waiting for this moment. If the battle is unfavorable, we will encounter the main force of Cao's army after dark. The outcome is really unpredictable."

"Don't worry, Cao Cao wants to wait for work with ease, why doesn't our army want to take advantage of the fire?" Liu Xie said, then swiped his pen like flying, and wrote a few more orders. Several messengers left the team like flying, and ran in different directions. go.

Soon, the sky gradually became hazy.Although Liu Xie said to send troops immediately, it took half an hour to rectify more than [-] soldiers of various types into the fighting state.

Finally, the Han army camp also fell into silence.But under the silence, the Han army, which could not be seen, formed a rigorous and precise battle formation. The soldiers all bowed their bows, unhooked their spears, and turned into a battle state. Under Liu Xie's silent military order, they quietly approached Xiahoudun's camp.

However, it was not this majestic army that launched the attack first.Just after the soldiers in Xiahoudun's camp put on a state of unending readiness, they suddenly discovered that the rear of the camp was suddenly attacked.

It was dark and the tension before the battle was a shortcoming of both armies.But Sima Yi turned such shortcomings into advantages, and ordered Zhang Xiu to lead [-] Xiliang cavalry to leave the army quietly, and went around to the back of Xiahou Dun's camp to launch an attack.

All of a sudden, Zhang Xiu's Xiliang iron cavalry swarmed from behind the camp. Before Xiahou Dun could react, they all lit the pine oil torches in their hands and threw them fiercely into the camp.At this moment, Xiahoudun regretted so much that he almost wanted to draw his sword and kill himself, because in order to fight the Han army before, he transferred all his troops and defensive weapons to the front line facing the Han army.As for the rear of the camp, it is now the weakest link in the entire camp.

At this time, Xiahou Dun knew that he had been trapped by the Han army.When he put all his energy into the decisive battle, the real ultimate move of the Han army suddenly came from behind him like this: Although, this strategy seems very simple, and it is not even worth mentioning.But one of these pierced Zijun's heart, making people think carefully and terribly.

For a moment, the flames burned.The soldiers wanted to turn around and fight under conditions, but the military order from above was not issued. They had already endured too much fear and pressure during these days, and finally they were completely ignited in an unexpected fire , The whole army was in chaos in an instant.

"The whole army should not panic, guard the barracks strictly, and don't worry about the cavalry behind you!" Xiahou Dun roared out this order in a hissed voice, knowing that Zhang Xiu's Xiliang iron cavalry would not rush in rashly for the time being.There are too many traps such as bridle ropes and pits in the camp to resist the cavalry, as long as Zhang Xiu rushes in, he will never return.

But when the military order was conveyed step by step, the main force of the Han army in front suddenly moved.Xiahoudun saw that Gao Shun led his camp, which had expanded to 3000 people, formed an impeccable square formation, and rushed straight towards the military camp!

At the forefront of the trapped camp was a row of pawns holding giant shields with only their heads exposed.Their steps were resolute, they didn't run at all, they just stepped forward step by step, and walked into the range of the camp.Afterwards, the crossbow formations of the self-armed army were activated naturally, but it may be due to the flames from behind, or it may be due to other reasons. Regardless of the number and wave frequency of those crossbow bolts, they were much less than the usual practice!
"Stand up!" Gao Shun in front of the formation also held up the giant shield, and with an order, the soldiers in the front row smashed the giant shield into the mud in an instant.Afterwards, a powerful mountain-destroying crossbow directly flew away with a giant shield and smashed into the formation behind him.But it was such a harsh blow, but it didn't shake the trapped camp in the slightest.

In the entire camp, there were not many Mountain Destroying Crossbows.In addition, last time, they were defeated by the tricks of the Han army's supernatural tricks, and they were defeated, not to mention a few of those mountain-destroying crossbows.Therefore, the scene just now was like the waves in the sea, although they occasionally turned up, they didn't have much effect.

Xiahou Dun just watched helplessly as the huge shield was filled with crossbow arrows, and then watched the shield wall advance towards the camp at a slower speed.Although it was extremely slow, the shock was indescribable.At the same time, Cao Jun also knew that this kind of slowness had super high efficiency. During the advance of the giant shield, the organs and traps in front of the camp gate were being dismantled layer by layer by the trapped camp.

Don't wait any longer!

Xiahou Dun said to himself from the bottom of his heart, waiting like this is no different from just sitting and waiting to die in contempt.After all, a camp and a city are not at the same level of defense, and he can't stand the anger of being controlled by others at all!
"The tiger and leopard riders come out, follow me to charge and kill! The army follows closely, and fights according to the previous deployment!" Xia Houdun raised his iron gun and galloped his horse angrily!
And Liu Xie, who was standing under the big banner opposite, also waved his hand, and once again invested in the tiger and ben Jingqi led by Xu Huang!

War horses, roars, flames, all the elements of war, only fighting, blood and death!
