Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Seeing this, the general of the pro-guard army stepped forward and shouted: "Where is the soldier in front, hurry up and dodge."

"What are you talking about? I am a general of Zhonglang. What is your position? You actually yelled in front of me. Do you know etiquette? Is this how your general taught you?"

The general of the personal guard was at a loss for words, pointed to General Niu and said, "I will definitely tell General Xiahou about this matter."

"You can say whatever you want, I'm here to save General Xiahou. Naturally, I want to prevent other assassins from breaking in. This is the order of Vice General Zhou." Niu Jin Dayi said sternly.

The general's face turned red. He didn't have the eloquence of General Niu, but he was worried about Xia Houyuan's safety. He pointed at General Niu with a ring knife and said, "If you don't give way, don't blame this general for being rude."

General Niu's face suddenly fell, and he said: "What, you, a little general, claim to be the general in front of me, and you want to kill me? I think you look like an assassin, come here, take him down for me , don’t delay our rescue of the general.”

"No." After clasping their fists together, the two soldiers walked towards the general guard.

Without hesitation, the general of the personal guard swung the ring knife twice, killing the two soldiers instantly.

All soldiers in the army must be bloody. Maybe they are useless on the battlefield, but in their own dens, they have to be strong, otherwise no one will think highly of you.

"Come here, catch him, he killed our soldiers, he must be with the assassins." General Niu has caught the reason, and he will definitely not let go.

Two more soldiers came out, looking at the general of the personal guard with a bit of cold eyes.

In a hurry, the general of the personal guard raised the ring-shou knife, and was about to slash at the soldier, but the soldier in front of him swayed, dodged the blow he was determined to win, grabbed the ring-shou knife with his hands, and subdued the general of the guard.

No matter how much the personal guard general yelled, General Niu ignored him and shouted to the soldiers behind the personal guard general: "What are you all doing in a daze? Hurry up and save the general. I will report this matter to General Xiahou."

General Niu's powerful aura made the guards have no one to refute for a while, and they followed General Niu to the rescue, but General Niu's speed is really not flattering. At this speed, even if they rushed to the tent, the assassin might also run away .

"You have ulterior motives. The guards obey the order and go to rescue the general quickly. Don't be negligent in the slightest, or you will be dealt with by military law." The general of the guards woke up suddenly and shouted loudly.

Hearing this, the guards rushed towards the tent, but General Niu didn't stop him. His task was to delay the guards for a while.

"Be more polite when you talk to me in the future. They are all under General Xiahou, so don't be big or small, or we will beat you every time we meet." General Niu said bluntly.

The situation became more and more critical. Xia Houyuan already had three wounds on his body, and the blood continued to flow out. Ever since another man in black joined, Xia Houyuan had been injured many times. This man in black had better martial arts skills than the other three There were a lot of shots, and the shots were fierce, hitting the vital points, Xia Houyuan was tired of resisting.

More than [-] men in black wandered around the perimeter of the camp, freeing a soldier who had rushed over completely. More and more soldiers rushed towards him, and even the men in black gradually became a little helpless. After all, this was Cao Jun. The battalion is full of enemies, if you accidentally die, you will die here.

"You..." Xia Houyuan fell to the ground weakly, pointed in the direction of the camp, his eyes were wide open, and he looked at everything in disbelief. A crossbow arrow pierced his throat.

"Let's go." The man in black gave an order, and the four of them ran out of the camp quickly. In the chaotic camp, more than twenty people found a corner where there was no one, changed into soldiers' clothes, and pretended to be a soldier. The soldiers who went to rescue were mixed among the soldiers.

When the generals in the army got the news and came to Xia Houyuan's camp, all they saw was a cold corpse and a mess everywhere.

"Who can tell me what's going on? What about the guards, what did the general do when the accident happened?" Xia Houyu shouted loudly.

The general of the personal guard came out shyly and said: "After hearing the general's voice, the humble officer immediately led the soldiers to come to the rescue. Unexpectedly, he ran into General Niu on the road, and he blocked the way of the personal guard."

"Yes, it's him. If it wasn't for him, the general would be fine. General, General Niu and the assassin are in the same group." The general of the personal guard was a little incoherent in his excitement.

"General Niu?" Xia Houyu said coldly, "Come here, bring General Niu here."

"General Xiahou's death should be reported to Duke Wei as soon as possible so that he can make a decision. At this time, there are Xiliang troops outside the pass, and the top priority is to guard the pass." Zhou Xingyue said.

Zhou Xing's words won the approval of the generals in the tent. Xiahouyuan is dead, and the most important thing is to stabilize the morale of the army, so that the army will not mutiny because of Xiahouyuan's death. Zhou Xing usually advises Xiahouyuan by his side. The status is not low, and some generals immediately agreed with him after listening to his words.

For Xia Houyuan's death, Duke Wei must have punished him, and if he loses Hulao Pass at this time, the punishment will be even greater. If he does not work hard to hold the pass, the merits and demerits will be equalized, and many generals will stand by Zhou Xing's side.

Xia Houyu said coldly: "Deputy General Zhou, what do you mean? Is it the case that the general is assassinated? This general is sure that the assassin is in the army, and the personal guards will follow me to find out all the assassins. "

Zhou Xing yelled sharply: "Xia Houyu, the matter of Hulao is very important, there can be no mistakes, you are a general in the army, don't you even understand this, the most important thing is to stabilize the morale of the army at this time, if Xi The Liang army took the opportunity to attack the city, how can they hold it?" At this time, Zhou Xing seemed to be a figure with the talents of a general, and from the perspective of the overall situation, Xia Houyu was a bit unreasonable in comparison.

Xia Houyu's complexion kept changing, and finally he clasped his fists and said, "Vice General Zhou, I'm going to capture the assassin. You are responsible for stabilizing the morale of the army. General Xiahou's death can't just be forgotten."

Zhou Xing pointed at Xia Houyu's leaving back, his face was gloomy, Xia Houyu was from Xiahou's family, even if Zhou Xing's position was higher than him, he couldn't control him, so he could only let him go, but the more this happened, The more he wanted to sit on the position of the chief general, so that all those who despised him would fall at his feet.

"Everyone, Hulao Pass cannot be left without a general for a day. Now that General Xiahou was assassinated and died, the most urgent task is to choose a general to guard Hulao Pass and wait for Wei Gong to send reinforcements." A general who had good friends with Zhou Xing said.

This statement won the approval of many generals. After all, Zhou Xing's remaining prestige is still there, and he can take care of the overall situation at critical moments. Such a person is the main general, and he has a lot more confidence in guarding Hulao Pass.

Under the operation of someone with a heart, Zhou Xing was appointed as the chief general of the army when he was in danger, and guarded Hulao Pass.

Two days later, the soldiers of the three armies all had their heads wrapped in white cloth, crying loudly. Xia Houyuan was a bold man, capable of writing and martial arts, and still had a certain status in the hearts of the soldiers. His sudden death had a great impact on morale.

After Jia Rong outside the pass heard the news, his face showed a look of color. Judging from the movement inside the pass, Zhang Xiu must have succeeded, and he also began to plan how to quickly capture Luoyang after conquering Hulao Pass This bustling city is in the palm of your hand.

"My lord, General Zhang Xiu has already succeeded, and tomorrow he will order to open the gate of the city. When the time comes, the army will rush in and the Hulao will be closed." Guo Jiaxi said.

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations, my lord, for getting Hulao Pass."

Jia Rong nodded and said, "Well, after Hulao Pass is conquered, how quickly our army captures Luoyang is the most important thing. Compared to Hulao Pass, Luoyang is a fortified city."

Guo Jia's face turned solemn, Luo Yang's defender was the most difficult bone to crack, Cao Ren, the famous Cao Jun general, was much more famous than Xia Houyuan.

Before the news of Xia Houyuan's death was reported, Luoyang must be captured. Cao's army was not given enough time to react. The combat effectiveness of the Xiliang army was enough to attract Cao Cao's attention, so he mobilized most of his troops to garrison Luoyang. Luoyang could not be conquered. Even if the previous efforts were in vain, Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass are indeed natural dangers, which are external, and it will be extremely easy to attack the two passes from Luoyang.

Inside Hulao Pass, Zhou Xing became the chief general of the army with the support of all the generals. Zhang Xiu followed him all the time, in name to protect his safety. The heart of disobedience, I am afraid that he will be the first to die. Xia Houyuan is an important figure in the Cao army, surrounded by elite guards, and he died in their hands, let alone himself. He has never seen Zhang Xiu's technique, but from The powerful deterrent force on him made Zhou Xing dare not make any changes.

"Tomorrow, I will order to clean up the closed doors. As for the name, I will avenge Xia Houyuan and fight the Xiliang army outside the city." Zhang Xiu said slowly.

"My lord, this is not good. I have just become the chief general in the army. Some things are beyond my control. Not to mention others, even that Xia Houyu, my lord has seen it before. It is beyond my control at all. If you open and close the door, I'm afraid he will be the first to jump out and object." Zhou Xing said.

Zhang Xiu said coldly: "Xia Houyu? Xia Houyuan died in our hands, let alone him, just do it, don't forget, you are the main general in the army, and the military order is like a mountain. What reason does Xia Houyu object? If it is really not If you are obedient, you can order him to be arrested, "

"Okay, I'll make a point in front of the army tomorrow." Zhou Xing said helplessly. After embarking on this road, there is no turning back. Luo Yang's family members may have been secretly protected by Zhang Xiu.

"Not only that, but you also need to send your cavalry to report to Luoyang. You'd better gain Cao Ren's trust," Zhang Xiu said.

Although Zhou Xing didn't understand what Zhang Xiu did, he still nodded in agreement.
