Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

At the foot of Dingjun Mountain, in the southern camp of the Wei army, thin flames have risen from the antlers on the outside.

And in the thick black smoke...

"kill--"

"dash forward--"

"Firefighting——"

Five thousand Wei soldiers rushed out, and Xia Houyuan took the lead and rushed to the front.

As recorded in "Yun Bie Zhuan", Xia Houyuan was a diligent and thrifty man. He would definitely be reluctant to part with those antlers, so he decisively left the stronghold to meet the enemy and rescue the antlers.

This is why the "Speed" Xia Hou is classified as "General Bai Di" in "Yunbie Zhuan". Bai Di... To put it bluntly, it means giving for nothing, giving for nothing to the general!

Yan Yan, who was setting a fire, saw Xia Houyuan leaving the camp and waved.

Immediately, the soldiers were ordered to raise their flags, and all the Shu troops who were setting fires everywhere stopped their movements and laid out their formations.

"When I was so powerful in Sichuan, you Xiahou still didn't know which woman was suckling in the arms -"

Xia Houyuan did not retreat at all, and pointed at Yan Yan with his sword:

"Rumble--"

"General Xia Houyuan of Baidi, die——"

Xia Houyuan made a quick calculation and concluded that a formation of this size would probably require a hundred thousand Shu army.

However, this is not the most terrifying thing. Along with the rumble of the huge rocks and giant crossbows, the bloody spears of Baihua elite soldiers were immediately raised. On the ridge line, Shu uniforms symbolizing the "Fire Virtue" of the Han Dynasty appeared. The army is like a dense swarm of fire ants...

——"Brother's guesses and predictions are all right. The target of these Shu thieves has been me from the beginning!" A good move to capture the thief and capture the king. 』

The cavalry rushed in in an instant, but Bai Hua's elite soldiers were already arranged in a five-tiered line formation. Facing the roaring cavalry charging into the formation, they showed no intention of retreating. When they were still five steps away, they stabbed out their spears in layers. , like fireworks in full bloom, stabbing down the enemies in front of the formation, both men and horses.

Against them, ordinary cavalry...have no advantage at all.

"General Xia Houyuan of Baidi, die——"

The drums sounded, and nearly 100,000 Shu troops roared in unison across the ridgeline.

His words were filled with contempt and ridicule.

What surprised Xia Houyuan the most was that Liu Bei was willing to send these useless soldiers to carry out this arson operation.

"General Xia Houyuan of Baidi, die——"

Thinking of this, Xia Houyuan couldn't help but shuddered in his heart.

Xia Houyuan was furious and waved his flag, "Kill——"

In addition to absorbing the strongest Xi and Di people, these white soldiers are mostly composed of veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. They are no less famous than the famous Tiger and Leopard Cavalry of the Wei Dynasty in the past.

"Boom boom boom——"

As this thought surfaced, Xia Houyuan's back was dripping with cold sweat... He was filled with fear.

"Is the person coming here Wei General Xia Houyuan?"

The attack horn sounded at the same time.

Of the hundreds of cavalry, no one rushed into the formation.

He even couldn't help but think about it...

This this…

Yan Yan is holding a big sword, and her long white beard is flying in the wind, giving off a full sense of "old and strong".

Overwhelming!

The Thunderbolt Eight Bull Crossbow fired huge crossbow arrows and boulders, which smashed into the Wei army's camp.

——"If Ma Su hadn't told "Yun Farewell", if my eldest brother hadn't rushed in all night, if I, Xia Houyuan, were unprepared for the current battle and still charged forward, I might have been buried here today!" 』

As the commander-in-chief of Cao Wei on the Western Front, it is impossible for him not to know that Liu Bei's men specially trained such a wasted soldier.

The sound of drums was loud all of a sudden——

Xia Houyuan's cavalry roared and rushed towards the Shu army, but behind the countless shields beside Yan Yan, several rows of spearmen suddenly appeared. These spearmen were all wearing iron armor, with two white ribbons hanging from the sides of their helmets, and spears in their hands. The size is also unusual, about 1.8 feet in length, and the spear head is more than a foot long. It is eye-catching and dazzling. You can tell at a glance...it is forged from the finest iron.

——"Is there no one left in the general of Shu? He actually sent an old man to set fire to him. Hahahahaha, how deep is the hatred between you and that big-eared thief? That he sent him here to die? Ah, hahahaha..."

"Sure enough..." Xia Houyuan's throat rolled, his face was gloomy, and he stared at the place where the man was lying on his back.

"Uuuuuu——"

The overwhelming sound coupled with the echoes in the valleys made even the mountains here shake.

"Is it a waste of troops?" Xiahou Yuan muttered to himself...

From the bottom of his heart, Xia Houyuan looked down on veterans like Yan Yan.

Yan Yan roared angrily...

at this time…

dong dong dong-

--"really…"

And all this made Xia Houyuan even more stunned...

...

"Old General Huang, it's time for you to make a contribution——"

Looking at the anxious battlefield at the bottom of the mountain, Fazheng, who was halfway up the mountain, looked at Huang Zhong.

"Haha..." At this moment, Huang Zhong is already riding a horse, and the sword in his hand is glowing with a cold light... "I have already prepared an arrow on the string, and it is imperative to do it——"

As this sound falls...

"Brothers, follow me and kill -"

Accompanying Huang Zhong's roar was the thundering sound of drums on the ridges.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Boom boom boom——"

For a moment, the drums beat like thunder, the sound shook the sky, and the overwhelming Shu army crossed the ridgeline and rushed down.

On the other hand, Xia Houyuan...

The deputy general next to him was shouting something anxiously. Xia Houyuan glanced at him, then turned his head blankly and looked at the Shu army coming like a tide.

The deputy general roared and led the soldiers to meet him.

However, Xia Houyuan tightened his reins and did not follow. He looked at the battle situation coldly, but what he was thinking about was the plan made by King Cao Cao.

"Haha..." Xia Houyuan smiled slightly, "Big-eared thief, you are still young..."

Having said this, he waved his hand and said, "Come forward..."

However, he saw all the Wei soldiers around him stepping forward. Of course, at this time, no one would notice that Xia Houyuan, who always charged forward and took the lead, was reining in his horse and retreating.

Very slow, very slow retreat.

It's like...he predicted something and was planning something.

And the battlefield at this moment...

The Shu army was condescending and rushed down, tearing apart the Wei army in front of them like the sharpest blades, and then divided them in a roundabout way, encircling the Wei army... The red military uniforms of the Shu army, the splendid Han Dynasty's fierce virtue The color, like clumps of strong fire, crazily devoured the Wei army in blue uniforms.

"Well done, well done..."

This was Xia Houyuan's last sigh, a feeling of great joy, but also of great fear.

Then he disappeared from the battlefield. It seemed that... a long time passed, and it seemed that only a moment passed. "Xia Houyuan" appeared immediately with his sword raised, but... the sound of fighting on the battlefield had disappeared and fell into deathly silence.

The condescending charge of nearly 100,000 Shu troops was clearly not something that a mere 5,000 Wei troops could withstand.

"Xia Houyuan" opened his eyes. There were only a few personal guards left around him. The battlefield in front was filled with corpses. The Shu army visible to the naked eye was advancing in an orderly manner.

At this time, he did not show any signs of retreating, and looked coldly at the slowly approaching Shu army.

Huang Zhong was already riding in front of the formation. He raised his whip, pointed at Xia Houyuan and shouted: "He is Xia Houyuan, the white general who rebelled against Wei? What can he say when death is imminent?"

"Xia Houyuan" said in a deep voice: "It's not certain who will die and who will live -"

Huang Zhong had seen Xia Houyuan's portrait, which was the same as the person in front of him, but had never heard his voice. He was surprised. He was a man in his fifties at the age of knowing his fate? How come the voice is so crisp? Like those young people in their twenties and thirties?

Of course, at this time, Huang Zhong couldn't care so much.

He raised his sword, "Xiahou traitor, do you dare to fight me?"

"Hmph..." Xia Houyuan shouted angrily and rushed out on horseback. Although defeat was a foregone conclusion, if he could kill the thieves at this time and the morale of the soldiers was high, they might not be able to turn the tide!
With this in mind... "Xia Houyuan" leaned down, hiding the weapon behind his side, staring at Huang Zhong who was approaching on horseback.

Seeing that... there were only a few steps left, suddenly... his right ribs felt cold, and his whole arm was extremely sore. He lowered his head... only to see a spear immersed in his right ribs.

--"This is? 』

——‘Have you been plotted against? 』

"Xia Houyuan" recognized this personal guard. He was undoubtedly Wei Jun, but why...

Could it be that he has been bribed by the enemy in advance?
"You... I'll kill you... a beast of a seller looking for glory..."

"Xia Houyuan" was furious, and thrust out the iron spear in his right hand. Who would have thought that... the personal guard remained motionless, as if he had something to rely on.

In other words, he calculated correctly that Xia Houyuan's gun was not as fast as Huang Zhong's sword.

"I'm not a beast who sells out his favors for glory, but, haha, if General Xiahou doesn't die? Then how can the military power of the Wei Dynasty be taken away from the clan?"

Before he finished speaking, Xia Houyuan's iron spear almost hit the bodyguard and almost passed through the bodyguard's chest.

But...suddenly, the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded in his ears, and Huang Zhong was already fighting in front of him.

Xia Houyuan could only raise his spear... to block!

But in the end it was a step too slow.

The big knife in Huang Zhong's hand drew a sword in the air, and the blade suddenly swung away the tip of Xia Houyuan's spear, whizzing along the left side of his neck...

Xia Houyuan felt a chill on his neck, his eyes were spinning, and then...then he was quickly swallowed up by darkness!
But the moment he fell, the soldier was thankful...

——"The era of Wei Dynasty belonging to the clan is over!" 』

Yes, Cao Chun, Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan...

These famous generals of the older generation perished, Cao Hong was captured, and Xiahou Dun went blind? So...will Wei want to compete with Han and Shu for hegemony at this time? Who can you rely on?
Ha ha…

The soldier was smiling. Obviously, he thought that... his master... no, not his master, but their "organization" assigned this task, and he completed it extremely well.

Variable accidents often happen in an instant.

When "Xia Houyuan" turned over and dismounted, the hair on his forehead fell down, his hair spread out, and the mask on his cheeks also fell off. The soldier couldn't help but be shocked.

He thought to himself:
——"He...he is not Xia Houyuan!" "--"That? 』

——"What about the Xiahouyuan people?" 』

...

...

——Great victory, great victory!

When the text about Huang Zhongzhan killing Xia Houyuan in "Yunbie Zhuan" became a reality, and was vividly presented through the pictures before his eyes.

Liu Bei and Fazheng were very excited.

"Xia Houyuan is dead...taking away Hanzhong General is like picking something out of a bag..."

Fazheng said to Liu Bei excitedly.

Liu Bei nodded, excited, but the whole plan made him think of Guan Lin's name all the time, "If you can capture Hanzhong, you can attack Wei from the north of Hanzhong, you can make the Han Dynasty rekindle the Three Stars" hope, thanks to Yun Qi..."

It seems that both Liu Bei and Fazheng already feel stable.

In fact, judging from the situation, I have the advantage... This is already a very stable situation.

As the commander of the Baihu Army, Chen Dao pointed to the battlefield and said: "My lord, the Baihu Army has withdrawn. General Huang Zhong and General Yan Yan have led the Shu army to rush into the Wei army's southern stronghold. Capture this stronghold and attack it." We can retreat and defend. It is expected that the news that Xiahou Pifu was killed will reach Dongzhai soon, and the three generals, General Zilong, and General Meng Qi will also win a big victory!"

"Yeah…"

Liu Bei suppressed the excitement in his heart as much as possible.

Happy…

This was his first victory over Cao Cao, how could he be unhappy?
"Xiaozhi and Shuzhi (Chen Dao), it's almost time. We also rushed down the mountain to Nanzhai. Although it is too early to discuss merits and rewards,... Hanzhong is close at hand, and seizing is like picking out objects from a bag. It is also time to let the soldiers We are all a little happier..."

"Yes..." Fazheng nodded, "My lord still wants to go..."

Immediately, Bai Huan soldiers brought Liu Bei's horse. Liu Bei got on his horse and did not forget to wait for Fazheng to also ride on the horse. The two of them hurried down the mountain road together.

Changes can happen in an instant...

boom--

Rumbling--

Just when Huang Zhong led the Shu army to clear the battlefield and occupy the Wei army's Nanzhai, suddenly... flames soared into the sky from the Nanzhai.

This sudden change... shocked everyone.

Liu Bei was riding on the horse, his eyes widened involuntarily, and his big ears that caught the wind were trembling subconsciously, as if he had some premonition.

really…

"boom--"

"Rumble--"

There were more and more flames, igniting almost the entire Nanzhai. Those Shu troops who had not yet entered the stronghold were lucky, but those who had already entered were completely blocked by the flames... and were all trapped in it.

"water--"

"Don't there be water tanks in this large army camp?"

"No, why is there no water in this water tank..."

"There is no water in the water tank here..."

At the moment when this accident happened...

"General..." Next to Huang Zhong, a soldier was shocked to find something when he inspected Xia Houyuan's head.

This soldier was originally from the Wei army. He had previously surrendered to the Shu army and was taken by Huang Zhong as his guide.

Of course, this is not the point.

The point is that the generals in the Shu army knew Xia Houyuan from his portraits, but he...had seen him in person.

Because of this, he was keenly aware that...there was something strange about Xia Houyuan!
"The one who killed the general formation was not Xia Houyuan, but...but..."

With this voice.

"boom…"

The flames in Nanzhai soared into the sky again.

Followed closely.

"Pull the string full, fire arrow, shoot, shoot -"

A clear voice shouted loudly from the end of Wei Jun's South Village.

At this moment... around Nanzhai, a large group of Wei troops surged out. There were more than a thousand, no... more than ten thousand, tens of thousands of people.

These Wei soldiers were extremely secretive in disguise, their heads and bodies were covered with all kinds of grass and leaves. Before... even if the battle situation here was corrupt, they did not show up.

But now...

"Oops--"

Huang Zhong groaned in a low voice...

After decades of military service, he realized the current situation in just an instant.

Fraud——

Wei Jun is cheating!

Their purpose was to introduce the 100,000 Shu troops into the South Village.

In fact, the purpose of the Wei army was indeed to lead the Shu army into the Nanzhai, but it was not just the Nanzhai... As long as all the Shu troops were led down the mountain, the goal would have been achieved.

"Report...general..."

A scout quickly came to report, "The general is in trouble, our army's retreat has been cut off..."

"Report to the general, it's not good, there are Wei troops everywhere..."

"Report...general, the brothers who entered Nanzhai...were blocked by fire and could not retreat..."

It was only then that Huang Zhong realized that his guess was correct. They... they had all fallen into an ambush.

"Pass my military order, form your formation...form your formation to meet the enemy..."

Huang Zhong gave the order immediately.

But at this moment...

"Hahahaha..." a voice came out, but from the flank...a group of Wei army cavalry came to kill.

The leader is not Xia Houyuan? Who else could it be.

"Hahahaha-"

Xia Houyuan laughed so wildly, "Huang Zhong, didn't you want to compete with me just now? Come on, come on -"

With the appearance of Xia Houyuan... more and more Wei army cavalry came out. At the foot of Dingjun Mountain in the east, the red Shu army was instantly surrounded by the Wei army in yellow and blue uniforms.

This encirclement is shrinking rapidly.

"General, what should we do?"

The deputy general quickly asked Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong gritted his teeth and pondered for a moment, then he said fiercely: "Break through, break out... find a way to return to Dingjun Mountain..."

This is what he ordered...

But...it's too late.

"Kill..."

"Those who can kill Huang Zhong will be rewarded with tens of thousands of gold and be granted the title of Marquis of Thousands of Households——"

"kill--"

For a time, countless Wei troops rushed towards Huang Zhong like a tide, and the sound shook the heaven and the earth and resounded through the sky——

...

...

"how come?"

Liu Bei, who was halfway up the mountain, watched helplessly as the crowd of people swarmed over a large area, and more than 100,000 Wei troops quickly surrounded the place.

Because they occupied the terrain and were ambushed in advance, countless fire arrows were shot at the south village, and countless cavalry and infantry surrounded Huang Zhong and the Shu army that rushed down.

The Shu army, which was originally in a condescending position, was at the bottom at this time, allowing the Wei army to attack from a high position.

Fazheng also looked confused.

He looked at the number of Wei troops in front of him with great horror. He groaned in surprise: "It shouldn't be, Hanzhong... The Wei army only has one hundred thousand people. Most of them have been transferred to Dongzhai, this... this Nanzhai? Where can we find 100,000 people?" Woolen cloth?"

Yes…

In order to ensure that the Wei army had no reinforcements, Fazheng specially deployed countless spies in Hanzhong, on the Qinling Mountain Road, at Yangping Pass, and on the Chencang Road.

It's prevention... Because of the intelligence, the success fell short.

But now...

Who knows where this number of Wei troops came from?
This was something that Fazheng could not predict in any case, and it was never recorded in Guan Lin's "Yunbie Zhuan".

"Something's wrong——"

Fazheng looked at the battlefield... It was obvious that because of the sudden attack of the Wei army and the fire in the male camp, one hundred thousand Shu soldiers were separated by life. Under the sky full of arrows, they were already showing panic. They were originally high-spirited. morale is draining.

"Xiaozhi? What about the Qinling Mountain Road? Then in Hanzhong, didn't you have countless spies? Didn't you find the Wei army's reinforcements?" Liu Bei also came to his senses and immediately asked Fazheng.

Fazheng didn't know how to explain it, so he could only shake his head instinctively.

But at this moment.

"Liu Xuande——"

A voice came from the opposite hillside. It was the shouts of many soldiers in unison, as if they were sending a message for their lord.

And it was Cao Cao who shouted Liu Xuande.

"Tell Liu Xuande that I, Cao Cao, asked him if he was okay when he came here?"

Following Cao Cao's words...

Hundreds of messengers shouted in unison: "The King of Wei asked: Liu Xuande, are you okay when you come? Liu Xuande, are you okay when you come?"
