Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 166 Last Stand, Attempted
Xia Houshang was still leading his army across the water, chasing the fleeing Shu army ahead.

It's not that he thought Xu Huang wanted to compete with him to ignore the other party's warning, but that he didn't hear it at all...

On the chaotic battlefield, surrounded by Cao Jun who was stimulated by the reward and screamed to kill, drowning Xu Huang's warning.

Moreover, he believed that he had more troops than the Shu army. Even if he pursued to the vicinity of Shangyong, even if the Shu army had ambushed or responded, how many troops would there be?

At this time, all he could see was the general flag with the character "∞" on it.

The Shu army had already rushed out of the muddy river bed first, turned back not far away and fired another salvo, shooting down more than a dozen Cao troops who were trudging in the mud and chasing them, and then continued to flee westward.

Although Xia Houshang was impatient, he knew that he was not a fierce general, so he did not leave the army to pursue and kill alone.

"Quick, hurry up!"

Xia Houshang, who led the Cao army in the front, rushed out of the river, took off his bow, and aimed at the eye-catching black horse.

Whoosh!
The bow and arrow crossed a beautiful parabola, and after hitting Liu Feng last time, it accurately hit the man on the horse of Wu Zai again.

It's a pity that what hit was the large shield carried by the Red Star Army soldiers on the back.

The horse carrying Liu Chan just trotted along with the soldiers of the Scarlet Star Army at this time, but didn't speed up with all its strength.

It never left Xia Houshang's sight, just like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey's head, it seems that it can be eaten with a little effort, but it can't be eaten no matter what.

But just after half of Xia Houshang's troops rushed out of the river, a column of smoke rose from the high point among the northern mountains...

Xu Huang, who always felt that the Shu army was deceitful, was completely sure at this moment.

This Liu Chan seems to have fallen for their trick to lure the enemy, but in fact he is also playing tricks to lure the enemy!
They actually thought of going together with the Shu army...

"Stop!" As soon as Xu Huang issued the order, his own troops ordered to stop it. No matter how much doubts and reluctance there were, they all stopped chasing immediately.

Then Xu Huang quickly chased after Xia Houshang's troops, and when he caught up with a group, he ordered them to stop and wait for orders, and they were not allowed to chase any more.

Xu Huang, who was struggling to catch up, finally stopped Xiao Banxia Houshang's troops on the east bank, but the friendly troops in front were still chasing under his leadership, and no one paid attention to the rear.

"Boren—! Come back!" Xu Huang, who reined in his horse and stopped by the river, called loudly, but how could he hear it?

"Ming Jin, Hurry Ming Jin to withdraw!" Xu Huang said to the messenger, but all the way after chasing, the carriage with the golden drum set had already fallen far behind, and it was difficult to send the order for a while.

"Hey! Drive!" With a bitter sigh, Xu Huang had no choice but to urge his horse forward, trying to rescue Xia Houshang.

The arrangement of King Wei before departure was obvious, that is to let him protect Xia Houshang to make military achievements, so as to strengthen the power of Prince Wei's direct line.

If something happened to Xia Houshang in this battle, and he came back alive... Although with his qualifications and achievements, he would not lose his life or be dismissed from office, and he might even be comforted by good words, but it is unlikely that he will be reused by Cao Pi in the future.

The crown prince Cao Zihuan is no bigger than the king of Wei.

However, as soon as Xu Huang's front foot rushed into the river, there was gradually a strange sound coming from his ears. He was the first one to find out that he was tense all the time.

His heart sank at once, and the thing he was most worried about happened.

Xu Huang turned his head to look upstream of the blocked water, a white line in the distance was getting thicker and bigger with the abnormal noise...

He stared blankly at the surging waterline disheartened, and after three breaths, he resolutely steered his horse back to the east bank.

The sound of water from the upper reaches became louder and louder, and Cao Jun in the river finally noticed it.

"Ah... ah! The flood is coming!"

"Run, run! The water is coming!"

No matter how elite the army is, it is powerless to fight against the natural power of heaven.

Even Yu Jin's elite Seventh Army couldn't do it, so they naturally wouldn't hit a stone with an egg.

However, at this time, the wet and slippery mud in the river seemed to be the cold hand of death, holding their legs and feet and preventing them from escaping.

Cao Jun, who was terrified in the river, slipped and fell into the mud the harder he tried, unable to escape.

The rushing river rushed at a high speed of nearly a hundred steps at a breath, mercilessly devouring Cao Jun's soldiers who were still struggling in it.

Bone-cold river water poured into their bodies continuously from their mouths, noses, and ears, and they were swept up and down in the water by a huge force. No matter how they struggled, they finally became floating corpses on the water surface...

Xia Houshang finally stopped his pursuit. He watched in horror the flood of water rushing down from the river behind him, unable to believe what was happening.

In the desperate situation, he calmed down instead, and after Xu Huang, he also wanted to understand everything.

"I am in Liu Chan's treacherous scheme!"

No wonder he couldn't think of it before, it's because the thinking mode is too different.

In his opinion, even if Liu Chan, who is also the crown prince like Cao Zihuan, wanted to use tricks to lure the enemy into feigning defeat, how could he let his generals and soldiers not use it, and instead desperately use himself as the bait?

It's too late to say anything now.

Now that my army is cut off by the river, if I turn back and swim to escape, I will die without a burial, but I can only move forward, maybe I can kill a glimmer of life!
Xia Houshang was not slow to react. Facing the sudden situation, he raised his arms and shouted, and also shouted the famous sentence that has been passed down through the ages: "There is no way to retreat! Why don't you fight hard!"

424 years ago, a man called Bingxian by later generations also stood up against the water and shouted the same words.

Then the Han army led by him overthrew the enemy like a small universe explosion and won the victory.

Li Zuoche, who was captured by Han Xin afterwards, conducted an exclusive interview with him and asked him why he did this. Han Xin's answer was "put him to death and live later."

However... Cao Jun, who heard the same words at this moment, did not have a microcosm explosion, and did not even react.

"The enemy army has no way to retreat! Why don't you all fight alone!" Liu Chan, who was pretending to be dead, was lying on his stomach at once, but at this moment he sat up as if nothing had happened.

"Kill! Kill! Kill—!"

However, the reaction given by the Scarlet Star Army was exactly what Xia Houshang hoped to see from his own army...

Almost everyone was wounded, and the Red Star Army soldiers whose armor was covered in blood all turned around and killed them, roaring angrily.

Since the Red Star Army debuted, they have never been hunted down in such a mess!
Can these tigers and wolves with arrogance in their hearts and deep into their bones suffer from this grievance?

At this time, everyone stared at the blood-red eyes, and even if they were cut off by the river, they were still several times stronger than Cao Jun...

Cao Jun obviously didn't buy into the proposal of a last stand, and seemed to be about to collapse.

Fortunately, Xia Houshang saw that there was nothing he could do, so he changed his strategy and led his troops to the north, which temporarily stabilized Cao's soldiers from collapsing.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, and the sound of galloping horseshoes came from the direction of Beishan...

"Ma Chao from Xiliang is here—! The thief will leave!"

Ma Chao led the Chixing Hundred Cavalry, and took the lead to kill Cao Jun who was fleeing north, with the "horse" flag fluttering behind him.

"Raise the gun!"

Following Ma Chao's movements, a hundred Red Star cavalry also raised their rush-made throwing spears.

"Throw!"

Whoosh whoosh!
Hundreds of spears came through the air, three out of ten.

With a newly learned skill, the hit rate is not low.

Moreover, Cao Jun, who was unfortunately shot, was extremely miserable. He threw his spear and broke the shield leather armor, and was nailed to the ground together with the shield.

Those who died on the spot were fine, but what was even worse was that many people would not die immediately, with throwing guns stuck in their thighs or even their stomachs, and being nailed to the ground screaming and wailing...

Although it is a temporary throwing gun modified from a long gun, its flight performance is average, but it does not affect killing.

"Charge!" Ma Chao took the lead, and Baiqi rushed into Cao's army like a tiger into a flock of sheep.

The panicked Xia Houshang hurriedly pulled on his horse and led the Cao army that had not yet fled to flee south.

"kill--!"

The tribal army of about a thousand people came from the south again...

These people wore shoddy leather armor and held the machetes they used when hunting in the mountains. They didn't care whether they were in an army or not, they just came here screaming and killing Cao Jun who was fleeing south.

During this period of time, they only learned to follow orders to advance and retreat, but facing Cao Jun at this time, knowing these is enough.

Cao Jun finally completely collapsed, throwing away their weapons and heavy leather armor in a panic, and jumped into the river.

Xia Houshang's heart was ashamed, and he rode his horse into the tribal army in despair to fight the trapped beast.

"Where are you going!" Liu Chan saw that Xia Houshang was about to act violently before his death, so how can he still spoil you?
Take the spear and take the bow, pick up three arrows with carved feathers and feathers, and shoot when you draw the bow!
The movements are so smooth and unrestrained, if Miss Guan San or Xingcai are by her side, she will definitely be fascinated like a deer.

Whoosh whoosh!
Three arrows in a row, the arrows are all empty!
However, Liu Chan, who had performed the three non-stick arrow method, was not discouraged, and three more feathered arrows were drawn out.

【Hundred Arrows Must Hit Trigger】

After the three arrows were shot into the air, Liu Chan only felt a sense of handiness.

Another three arrows, two empty shots, and one flattering shot.

The horse that was shot in the butt by Liu Chan's arrow neighed in pain on the spot, pedaling and kicking in circles.

This made the surrounding tribal fighters afraid to step forward, but Xiahou Shangke was unlucky, he was knocked upside down, and his intestines were almost knotted in his stomach...

【Hundred Arrows Must Hit Trigger】

Zen picked up three more arrows, felt something in his heart, and shot them again.

One hits the legs, the other hits the arms.

Shang cried out in pain that he fell off his horse and was captured!
