Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

It was for this reason that when Huang Zhong discovered Xiahou Dun, who was suspected to be a big fish, he did not make it public, but wanted to swallow the big fish alone to avoid being robbed of the credit by Zhang Fei or Zhou Tai.

Now that he was ambushed by Xiahou Yuan in an unsportsmanlike manner and he wanted to save his fish, how could Huang Zhong tolerate it?
Immediately, the old yellow horse under Huang Zhong's command burst out with a speed that was inconsistent with its age, and quickly chased after Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan had no intention of continuing to fight with Huang Zhong, for fear of attracting more enemy cavalry. Once they were surrounded, it would not be easy to escape.

Immediately, Xiahou Yuan drew his bow again, leaned back, and with his back pressed against the horse's back, he pulled the bow in his hand and aimed at Huang Zhong who was chasing him closely.

"Well done!"

Huang Zhong hadn't seen anyone who dared to compete with him in archery for a long time. He was eager to fight and drew out the Qilin bow hanging on his horse's back.

At this moment, Huang Zhong and Xiahou Yuan were only about twenty steps apart, and they were in a dim environment, which was definitely not a suitable environment for an archery contest.

However, Huang Zhong and Xiahou Yuan were both very confident in their archery skills and had no intention of retreating. Instead, they concentrated their minds to the extreme in an instant.

A contest of archery skills at a distance of twenty steps is no longer about reaction, but more about prediction...

The next moment, Huang Zhong and Xiahou Yuan released their bowstrings almost at the same time.

Two streams of light shot towards each other, but collided in mid-air.

Huang Zhong and Xiahou Yuan did not stop for a moment and put another arrow on the bowstring.

"Oh!"

The sound of bowstrings rang out again at no particular order.

However, this time the two arrows did not completely collide with each other, but instead brushed past each other, changing the original trajectories of the two arrows.

The arrow released by Xiahou Yuan flew past Huang Zhong's left side about ten feet away.

The arrow released by Huang Zhong also flew past Xiahou Yuan's left side...

Just then, Xiahou Dun heard the sound of Xiahou Yuan shooting arrows beside him, and he subconsciously looked back. Before he could see what was coming towards him, he felt a pain in his left eye.

"what!"

An arrow was completely inserted into Xiahou Dun's left eye.

"Yuan Rang!"

Xiahou Yuan turned around and his eyes were bloodshot.

Huang Zhong sneered and was about to pick up his sword to chase after Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan and finish them off here.

However, Xiahou Dun grabbed the arrow shaft and forcibly pulled the arrow out of his left eye socket, with the entire left eyeball being clearly pulled out.

This fierce scene shocked Huang Zhong.

When Xiahou Dun saw his left eyeball on the arrow with his only remaining right eye, he was stunned at first and muttered something.

'The father's sperm and the mother's blood cannot be discarded.'

Immediately, Xiahou Dun stuffed the eyeball skewered on the arrow into his mouth and swallowed it as if he was eating barbecue.

Seeing this scene, Huang Zhong's pupils shrank and he felt a slight pain in his eyeballs. He unconsciously slowed down his horse's speed.

This also gave Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan the opportunity to distance themselves from each other and disappear into the night, making it difficult to find any trace of them.

Huang Zhong said with some regret and admiration.

"He's a real man."

Just as Xiahou Yuan was helping Xiahou Dun out of trouble and confirmed that there seemed to be no ambush outside the camp, most of Cao's army came out of the camp under the command of Cao Cao to provide support.

It was only a short delay. When Cao Cao led the main force to the battlefield, the entire battle was almost over.

Looking around, only the Yangzhou cavalry remained on the battlefield.

There were only a few of the three thousand Cao cavalry left. The next moment, a torch lit up on the opposite side of the battlefield where Cao's army, whose faces were particularly ugly, was.

Protected by three thousand white horse volunteers and tiger guards, Liu Bei and Li Ji slowly appeared on the opposite side of the battlefield. Many cavalrymen also reorganized their formations and quickly lined up on both sides of Liu Bei and Li Ji.

Gazing at the vague figure of Cao Cao in the firelight in the distance, Li Ji gestured to Liu Bei, who shook his head slightly, indicating that he had nothing to say to the thief Cao.

Seeing this, Li Ji simply smiled and said loudly.

"Wish you all a sweet dream."

Soon after, the cavalry led by Liu Bei and Li Ji slowly retreated and disappeared into the distant darkness again.

Cao Cao looked at the corpses of the cavalrymen lying on the ground in front of him, his face ugly and gloomy to the extreme.

Of the three thousand cavalrymen, only a handful survived.

After their formation was broken up, they were surrounded and strangled by Huang Zhong and Zhou Tai from the front and back.

Even in the plains and dim environment, there are few people who can escape by chance.

What was even more heartbreaking was that Cao Cao watched helplessly as more than 300 intact war horses on the battlefield were all taken away by the enemy.

Just as Cao Cao looked gloomy, Xiahou Dun, whose left eye had completely turned into a bloody hole, staggered off his horse, rushed to Cao Cao, knelt on the ground, and said.

"My incompetence caused the cavalry to be annihilated. My lord, please chop off my head..."

Without waiting for Xiahou Dun to finish speaking, Cao Cao dismounted from his horse, a relieved and peaceful smile on his face. While supporting Xiahou Dun, he spoke in a gentle voice.

"If the Chinese scholars and nobles were to be beheaded, how many people in the world would be able to survive? This is not the fault of the war."

"Besides, Cao still has 100,000 strong soldiers. The loss of only 3,000 cavalry is nothing. Why should we worry about it?"

Suddenly, after hearing Cao Cao's words, the morale, which had been somewhat depressed due to the destruction of 3,000 cavalrymen, was obviously boosted.

Among all the people who had accompanied him here, only Xi Zhicai had a flash of worry in his eyes as he looked at Cao Cao, who was confidently and calmly stabilizing the morale of the army.

The number of three thousand cavalrymen is indeed insignificant compared to the 100,000 soldiers under Cao Cao's command.

But the biggest problem is that without these 3,000 cavalrymen, Cao Cao will be completely without this crucial type of troops, and will inevitably be put on the defensive on the battlefield.

Xi Zhicai realized that Cao Cao must also be aware of this, and that Cao Cao's pretense of being relaxed was just to stabilize the morale of the troops.

Immediately, after Cao Cao arranged for Xiahou Dun to go down to recuperate and clean up the battlefield, he led the army back to the camp.

By the time everything was done, it was already the Chou hour.

After returning to the camp, Cao's soldiers, including Cao Cao, were so exhausted that they fell asleep almost instantly.

However, Cao Cao just realized that he had just laid down and the pillow was not even warm yet.

Suddenly, a short and urgent horn sounded.

Enemy attack!

Cao Cao, whose eyes were bloodshot, jumped up from the couch almost instantly, rushed out of the tent with his sword in hand, shouting.

"Where is the enemy attacking?"

Not only Cao Cao, but the entire Cao army camp, which had just quieted down, was awakened by the sound of the horn, and the extremely sleepy soldiers rushed out of the tents in a hurry.

However, when they rushed out...the sound of the horn stopped.

The result of reporting to Cao Cao was that the horn sound came from outside the camp.

At this moment, Cao Cao felt a headache, and Li Ji's words just now echoed in his head...
