Han Xiang

Chapter 618 Donglai Taishi shocked Xiahou

As for the plain landscape, there are no bunkers?Can't ambush?

In March, grass grew in the Central Plains and warblers were flying. In order to ensure supplies for the front line, Cao Cao forcibly recruited millions of civilians to carry out transportation. As a result, the settlement areas around Xudu were also abandoned due to the war.

The fields were covered with new green, and the soldiers were squatting on the spot and dying. It was difficult to detect the enemy without a telescope.

What's more, Cao Xing and Long Xiang used their bodies as bait, which would distract Xiahou Dun.

After Long Xiang and the generals finished talking about tactics, Xu Chu frowned with a bitter look on his face. He looked at the unfamiliar command flag in his hand and said to himself that he had always been in the battle by himself before, but he never expected that one day he would be in charge of the central army.

Xudu is less than seventy miles away from Yingyin, and it can be reached in half a day's march.

Xiahou Dun led his troops to march slowly. Since the 2 men under his command were basically infantry, they were only half gone by noon.

The warm sunshine in the afternoon heats the top of the head and makes one feel drowsy.

Xiahou Dun knew that Long Xiang was cunning and had been very nervous since leaving the city. He would easily get tired after staring alone for a long time.

After persisting for a long time, my eyelids finally blinked.

After shaking his head several times, Xiahou Dun was still blinking, so he quickly pulled the reins of his horse and prepared to order him to rest on the spot.

Just as they stationed their horses, patrolling scouts suddenly came to warn them.

Two miles away in the northwest direction, a group of rangers was approaching quickly.

When Xiahou Dun heard that there was an enemy, he hurriedly braced himself and looked closely. Sure enough, there were more than [-] horses galloping towards him.

"Array, prepare to fight."

Not long after the general's order was passed down, more than twenty riders rushed to the front.

The leader's appearance remained the same, which reminded Xiahou Dun of that past incident, and he immediately gritted his teeth and showed a fierce look.

"It's you!"

"Blind man, it's really you. Are you still alive?"

Cao Xing lowered his gun and held his saddle, looking at Xiahou Dun's army without fear, and his words were full of ridicule.

Xiahou Dun tightened his grip on the handle of the knife in his hand, and there was a cold light in his single eye under his eyebrows, as if he was humming from his nostrils.

"Cao Xing, I am about to avenge you. I don't want you to take the initiative to seek death. If you come, stay with me."

"Just you? You are just a defeated general, but you also want to take revenge on me? Humph, you are just dreaming." Cao Xing left a harsh word and hurriedly turned the reins and ran away, "Let's go, drive!"

Xiahou Dun thought he was done with it, but he didn't expect Cao Xing to be so decisive. When he reacted, he immediately mounted his horse and chased after him. As he chased, he raised his knife and cursed:

"You man, if you are not afraid of me, why are you scurrying like a rat?"

"Hey, I'm in a good mood today, and I've decided to let you go, but don't try to keep me here, be careful with your remaining right eye."

Cao Xing hooked the horse's neck with his right hand, turned around and swung his long bow with his left hand towards Xiahou Dun. His relaxed expression and arrogant tone pierced Xiahou Dun's body like an ice pick.

When Xiahou Dun saw Cao Xing dancing his bow with one hand, he subconsciously reined in his horse to control its speed, but he quickly urged his horse to pursue him.

"Everyone! Don't leave!"

It was during this pause that the army general behind him followed up and reminded Xiahou Dun loudly: "Cao Xing comes and goes in a hurry. General, be careful of fraud. It may be Long Xiang's plan. There may be an ambush ahead."

"In this plain, as far as the eye can see, there is an ambush, can't I see it?"

Xiahou Dun's single eye seemed to be about to shoot out flames. He shouted back to General Pi and issued a military order: "Send all the cavalry to chase after me. You lead the main force to follow quickly. I will kill the enemy with my own hands today."

"only"

The general did not dare to go against his will, so he had no choice but to obey Xia Houdun's order.

Xiahou Dun was chasing after him while Cao Xing was running in front. He looked back from time to time and kept the distance between the two sides at about two feet.

Ordinarily, Cao Xing's troops were small and Xiahou Dun's pursuers were large, so he could intercept them in a roundabout way, or ride and shoot from behind.

This scene is like Tian Ji's horse racing. Cao Xing's reconnaissance camp is equipped with good horses, and Cao Cao took away all the good horses in the rear. The horses left to Xiahou Dun cannot be said to be particularly bad, but they have a certain endurance and speed compared to the front cavalry mounts. gap.

As for advanced skills such as cavalry and archery, there are only a few people in Cao's camp who have mastered them. Most of them are Wuhuan elites who were recruited in the north. After Cao Cao pacified Hebei, he incorporated them into the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to be used in battles. It is impossible to stay in many places. All idle and wasted.

Cao Xing's horse in front was not very fast, but Xiahou Dun chased for eight or nine miles and still couldn't catch up. He chased with his heart pounding.

Could Cao Xing really have a plan?
When Xiahou Dun was thinking, his followers suddenly reminded him loudly:

"General, look, Cao Xing's reinforcements have arrived." "Huh?"

Xiahou Dun took a closer look and saw that there were indeed dozens of cavalry in front, still without flags like Cao Xing.

There is indeed a fraud!

Xiahou Dun was followed by more than a hundred cavalry. Counting Cao Xing's reinforcements in front, Xiahou Fang still had the advantage in strength.

But thinking about the eight or nine miles of journey, I thought that Cao Xing's behavior was really weird, and that if he couldn't protect himself, he would fall into a trap.

Doubts arose in my heart, and my hands immediately made movements.

Just as Xiahou Dun tightened his horse's reins, he found that Cao Xing was also slowing down, and he waved and shouted to the supporting troops.

"General Long, come and save me!"

You, a common man, know how to be afraid?Hum hum
No, Cao Xing called General Long, wouldn't that be...
The three words "General Long" made Xiahou Dun stop teasing in his heart and quickly confirmed with his remaining one eye.

Only a few dozen riders had just arrived. Although Long Xiang, who was nearly thirty years old, had grown a beard, his facial features were already engraved in Xiahou Dun's memory.

That's right, it's him.

"Long Xiang! You traitor!"

"Oh? You actually know me. This blind man looks so familiar."

Long Xiang pointed his gun at Xiahou Dun and deliberately approached Cao Xing to ask, his contemptuous expression natural, as if he really didn't remember.

Cao Xingxin said, good guy, you are really a sword that never grows old. Your performance is so lifelike. Isn’t Xiahou Dun jumping in anger?
"Don't you remember? He was Xiahou Dun, who was shot blind by the general."

"So it's him, and he's not dead yet?"

Long Xiang's superb acting skills were like slapping Xiahou Dun in public, which finally caused his anger to take over his reason, and his manic emotions were out of control at this moment.

"I won't die if you die."

Xiahou Dun shouted loudly, raised his horse and wielded his sword to attack Long Xiang, "I want to eat your meat today!"

"Your tone is not small, it depends on how much you weigh."

Long Xiang's eyes flicked aside Cao Xing, and his horse rushed straight towards Xiahou Dun with his spear raised.

when!
Xiahou Dun dropped his heavy sword, but Long Xiang tried his best to hold it away with the handle of the gun, and then murmured to himself:
"This blind man has gained strength after not seeing him for many years? It's unreasonable."

"If you don't conduct sneak attacks, you, Long Xiang, are nothing!"

Seeing that Long Xiang was timid in his words, Xiahou Dun was looking forward to the second round of fighting, when the other party pulled the reins back on his horse and tried to escape.

"Come on, the blind man's martial arts have improved rapidly. We can't continue to struggle here. Maybe Xu Zhongkang can fight the enemy. Let's go to Yingyin quickly to bring in reinforcements!"

Um?Long Xiang feels ashamed, am I equal in martial arts to Xu Chu?What else are you afraid of?
The two enemies were right in front of them, and they were complimented by Long Xiang in return.

Xiahou Dun's blood boiled over in an instant. At that moment, he thought that he had few opponents, so he rushed to catch up regardless of his advice.

After retreating on horseback, they chased the enemy for four or five miles. Long Xiang and Cao Xing dispersed in the middle, so Xiahou Dun naturally only focused on his true master.

At this time, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves in the southwest.

Xiahou Dun turned his head and glanced, mistakenly thinking that Cao Xing had left and returned. He thought that Longxiang's mount must be a good horse. It would be difficult for him to catch up when he ran away with peace of mind, so it was better to retreat and settle for the next best thing.

"Kill Cao Xing first, then capture Long Xiang!"

Xiahou Dun pointed his sword, turned around and galloped, hoping to catch Cao Xing off guard.

After a while, the two horses crossed their necks and the two soldiers clashed.

There was a loud clang.

The tip of the spear lifts the tip of the knife like an antelope hangs its horns. It is incredibly dexterous.

Xiahou Dun saw his opponent clearly at this time. He had a handsome face and a long flowing beard, which was different from the Xu Chu in Zhang Liao's mouth, not to mention that Xu Chu was accustomed to wielding a broadsword.

This appearance!This shooting technique!Not a nobody!

"Who are you?"

"Donglai Taishici!"
