Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 555
kill~
In the middle of the night, the sound of killing was loud, Zhang Liao held a long knife, and led two thousand cavalry to make a yellow sparrow, and Xia Houyuan's army was defeated in a short time.

"Let's go, General!"

The soldiers pulled their generals and shouted hastily, but Xia Houyuan looked around calmly, and shouted in a deep voice: "Let's fight and retreat!"

Chased by the cavalry, if the infantry tried to escape, they would only be concealed and killed, and only a counterattack would have a chance.

What a Zhang Wenyuan, he threw such a big bait, he did not expect Zhang Liao to be so cautious.

"The woods are not far ahead. If you flee to the woods, the enemy cavalry will not be able to catch up."

In the chaotic retreat, Xia Houyuan still roared calmly, and the panicked Cao Jun seemed to have found his backbone.

Seeing the dense jungle in the distance through the moonlight, one by one they fled in all directions.

The sound of killing was loud, and Zhang Liao, who commanded the cavalry to pursue the cavalry, smiled even more when he saw the defeat of Cao Jun. This time, he did not say that the enemy army was completely wiped out, but at least he could defeat the enemy army and deal a huge blow to Cao Jun's morale.

When Zhang Liao was chasing and killing Cao Jun, a light cavalry appeared outside the east gate. Hearing the faint killing sound in the distance, Xu Chu under the night had a strong murderous intent.

In the big camp outside the east gate, the huge catapults were faintly visible under the light of the fire, and the sound of chaotic fighting echoed in the city.

The long knife in his hand was raised high, Xu Chu looked back at the brothers behind him and shouted: "Brothers, the main force of the Hebei army has been exhausted, follow me to kill!"

rumbling~
Under the night, the deafening sound of cavalry echoed, and the faces of the Hebei troops in the camp changed drastically after hearing this.

ding ding~
The gong gave a warning, and the Hebei army in the camp had just reacted when Cao Jun's cavalry rushed into the camp.

The flames fell from the sky, countless torches were thrown into the camp, trampling on the camp with iron hooves, Xu Chu roared wildly.

"Quick~ burn down the enemy's camp, don't want to fight!"

Huang Zhong on the east gate was holding the long knife tightly with both hands, staring at the chaotic camp in the distance with hatred in his eyes.

"General, our camp has been attacked, send troops quickly~"

The generals on the top of the city panicked one by one, but Huang Zhong suppressed the confusion in his heart, and shouted in a deep voice: "Array! The whole army is in formation, and no one is allowed to go out of the city to fight."

Rushing out with his thousands of soldiers and horses will not help, but will give Cao Jun an opportunity to take advantage of it.

In the dark night, the Cao army and the Hebei army fought together chaotically. Except for Huang Zhong's army, the rest of the army were so killed that they couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north.

"Report~ General, our camp has been ambushed!"

Excited Zhang Liao, who was chasing and killing Cao Jun, was startled when he heard the scout's report. Cold sweat rolled down his back. Looking at Cao Jun fleeing all over the mountains and plains, he could no longer care about these defeated troops.

"Assemble ~ Sound the horn ~ Call the cavalry to assemble and return to the camp!"

rumbling~
As Zhang Liao led the soldiers and horses to gather and retreat, the chaotic Cao army in the forest burst into cheers.

Xia Houyuan frowned and finally heaved a sigh of relief. Looking back, he saw that the army under his command showed a sense of gratitude for the rest of his life.

"Go! Order the three armies to withdraw!"

"General, don't we wait for General Xu?"

Although a little flustered, some generals still asked Xu Chu, Xia Houyuan sneered after hearing this, waved his hands and laughed loudly: "Don't worry, Zhongkang knew where to go from the beginning, let's retreat!"

In the fierce night battle, Xia Houyuan and Zhang Liao both plotted against each other, both succeeded, but also failed.

Xia Houyuan's plan at the beginning was to defeat Zhang Liao's army, but Zhang Liao was too cautious, chasing and killing Zhang Liao's cavalry all the way, and Zhang Liao's cavalry hung far behind him like a squirrel. Fortunately, he saved a hand.

Zhang Liao knew that Cao Jun would not last long and would definitely run away. He did not expect that he had succeeded in the pursuit, but there was actually a cavalry of Cao Jun in the rear, which attacked the camp.

If it was daytime, then Zhang Liao would never give up hunting, but it was night.

When the sun just rose the next day, the White Horse City was in ruins, and there were houses that had already been burned to the ground emitting faint green smoke.

The Hebei soldiers inside the city mopped up in groups of three or four, but the temporary tents outside the city turned into ruins. The soldiers looked at this scene dejectedly.

Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong looked at each other with an unspeakably complicated look in their eyes.

"Wen Yuan, at least we won the white horse."

white horse!Looking at the ruined city, Zhang Liao couldn't help clenching his hands, his veins bulging, and his eyes were full of anger.

"White horse! But Liao lost hundreds of siege equipment!"

Unwilling Zhang Liao really didn't expect this to happen. Just as he was enlisted, soldiers are unpredictable, and no one knows the enemy's plan.

"How big is our loss?"

In the end Zhang Liao frowned and asked in a deep voice. Huang Zhong looked hesitant after hearing this, and finally sighed: "There are more than ten thousand casualties, and now there are less than twenty thousand capable soldiers."

damn it!After hearing such heavy casualties, Zhang Liao couldn't help but slapped the battlements angrily, standing on the city wall and looking at the scene inside the city, his eyes were bloodshot.

"Order the three armies to take a rest on the white horse to recuperate, and wait for the Lord's army to arrive."

Zhang Liao was furious, but Xia Houyuan was equally aggrieved. It was not until dawn that he gathered all the Cao troops that he discovered that the casualties were also not small.

They had Zhang Liao's cavalry along the way, and the other two Cao troops were also hunted down by the Hebei army when they fled.

This time, Xia Houyuan and Zhang Liao suffered losses for both sides.

Xia Houyuan had used the white horse as bait, but he didn't expect to get such a large number of casualties in the end. He led more than 2 remnants of the defeated army and fled towards the rear.

At the same time, Xia Houyuan was also thankful that when the army was halfway on the road, Xu Chu led more than a thousand cavalry to appear, each holding banners in their hands with high morale, shouting in a show of strength.

"Reporting to General, last night I led two thousand Qingqi to set fire to the Hebei camp, and hundreds of siege equipment have been reduced to ashes."

After Xu Chu dismounted and reported loudly, Xia Houyuan finally showed joy when he heard it, but at this time Cao Jun gathered together, and the thousands of cavalry returning from the victory screamed strangely one by one, showing off the spoils in their hands.

All the generals of the Cao army were in a panic, only Xu Chu's soldiers and horses won the victory. For a while, all the generals looked at each other with a bad expression.

After Xu Chu saw the expressions of the generals, he was a little embarrassed and just wanted to turn around and stop the pampering of the cavalry under his command, but Xia Houyuan waved his hand and stopped.

There was a complex expression in his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of Xia Houyuan's mouth, "It's time to make the soldiers happy, tell the soldiers of the three armies that our army's surprise attack on the Hebei Camp last night has burned the enemy's supplies, food and grass, and killed countless enemies. .”

this!After Xu Chu heard this, he hesitated and didn't understand, with embarrassment on his face, how could he be so godly, he just rushed into the enemy's camp last night, then set fire to it, and then ran away.

That's one of the miraculous achievements that Xia Houyuan said, but Xia Houyuan pointed at the tens of thousands of Cao Jun who were in a panic, and cheered excitedly one by one.

Immediately, the dissatisfaction of the generals dissipated, and one by one looked at their generals with admiration. At this time, it was no longer the time to care about credit, but the morale of the generals of the three armies was boosted.
