Zhao Yun led [-] troops to ambush in the dense forest of Shenyuan Valley. This valley is about [-] miles away from Xicheng, and it is the only way to go north to Jicheng. However, the slopes of the high mountains on both sides are relatively gentle, and there are large dense forests, which are the best places for Tibetan soldiers to ambush.

Zhao Yun knew that he was going to face more than [-] Cao troops, so the [-] troops he led were the elite of the Han army, one of the [-] surrendered troops selected from more than [-] Cao army prisoners after the Chibi War. The first army was Lu Bu's spear army, which fought south and north, and was extremely powerful. After Lu Bu's fall, he was incorporated by Cao Jun, and later surrendered to Jiangxia.

The army is mainly made of spears, and at the same time carries crossbows on their backs, so it is also called the Spear and Crossbow Army. Whether this army can rely on this army to intercept Cao's army going north is the key to the whole battle situation. Zhao Yun is a little nervous, and his palms are clenched sweat.

At this time, a scout rushed to report: "General, eight of the enemy's scouts were shot and killed. In addition, they found a large army of Cao Jun going northward and about to enter the valley. There are about 5000 people. The leader is Xia Houyuan. .”

Zhao Yun nodded, and ordered in a low voice: "Order the whole army to prepare, listen to my order and let go!"

The order was conveyed quickly, and three thousand soldiers of the Han army shot their crossbows and set up their arrows one after another, looking intently at the bottom of the valley. Under the moonlight in the distance, a mighty army was marching rapidly. Soon they entered the valley, led by dozens of cavalry surrounded by a general. The general was eight feet three in height, with a mighty appearance.

This person is Xia Houyuan, an important general under Cao Cao's account, and also the deputy general of the Cao army's westward expedition. According to Xun You's strategy, Cao Cao ordered Xia Houyuan to lead [-] troops northward immediately after Xu Huang's army arrived in Xicheng. , Cut off the food and grass supply of Liu Jing's army, and attack the Han army from behind when a battle broke out.

It can be said that this is an extremely important moment in Xun You's chain plan, the link that connects the lure strategy and the surprise strategy. If Xia Houyuan can succeed, then Xun You's chain plan will basically succeed.

While urging his horses to march, Xia Houyuan looked at the valley. He considered deploying an army in this valley, which could not only block the grain road, but also attack the Han army that went north to support Liu Jing. The conditions of this valley were very suitable. As a place of ambush. [

Thinking of this, Xia Houyuan turned around and asked, "What's the name of this valley?"

"Reporting to the general, this valley is called the Valley of Shen Yuan."

Xia Houyuan was taken aback. There was a word 'Yuan' in his name, but this place was called Shen Yuangu, which was not good for him. He hurriedly asked, "Did the spies inspect this valley?"

"The spies went to the front and didn't come back to report, so there should be nothing wrong!"

Xia Houyuan was full of doubts, not coming back to report does not mean nothing happened, maybe the spy was shot and killed, he looked at the dense forest on both sides, and ordered: "Stop moving forward, and then send the spies up the mountain to investigate. "

Under the moonlight, Zhao Yun could see very clearly. He stared at Xia Houyuan closely. He saw an opportunity. Seeing that Cao Jun stopped moving forward, Zhao Yun immediately ordered: "Shoot at the enemy general!"

The sound of clappers suddenly sounded in the valley, the sound was extremely crisp, and it spread throughout the valley. This was the order to release arrows. Unprepared, there was a scream of screams, hundreds of people were shot to the ground, Cao Jun's soldiers suddenly became confused, everyone scrambled and fled back, crowded on the valley road more than [-] feet wide, the soldiers They trampled on each other, crying and screaming one after another.

Xia Houyuan brandished his spear to strike arrows. Most of the twenty or so cavalry around him were hit by the arrows, and only four or five cavalry were left. They were all panicked and urged him to run for their lives. "Chaos", hold my ground for me!"

At this moment, there was loud drumming on the mountain, and three thousand Han troops rushed down with spears. A white horse, as fast as lightning, swooped down from a mountain road, and immediately held a silver armored spear and a helmet on his head. The tassel fluttered with the wind, and Ma Lie shot fiercely, like a god descending from the earth, and the future will be Zhao Yun.

Seeing that there were not many personal guards around Xia Houyuan, Zhao Yun saw that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He had to seize this opportunity. As soon as he mentioned the horse, the horse jumped over the heads of several cavalrymen. In mid-air, Zhao Yun shot Assassinate Xia Houyuan.

Zhao Yun's horse speed was too fast, and he was in front of him in an instant. Xia Houyuan couldn't be on his guard, he was taken aback, and swung his gun in a panic to block, but he missed it, and the tip of the gun suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes. He knew the danger When it was over, he instinctively avoided Zhao Yun's fatal shot with one side of his neck, shouted loudly, and stabbed Zhao Yun's horse with his spear.

At this time, Zhao Yun had already rushed behind him, before the horse's front hooves hit the ground, Zhao Yun stabbed Xia Houyuan in the back of the neck with his backhand. .

This shot was faster than lightning, and before Xia Houyuan could react, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, and his vision was suddenly dark, and the cold tip of the spear had pierced Xia Houyuan's neck.

The moment the horse landed on the ground, Zhao Yun shook his arms, and the tip of the spear violently stirred Xia Houyuan's neck. In the end, the general died in Qishan Road by Zhao Yun's gun.

At this time, Zhao Yun's horse had landed on the ground. Zhao Yun grabbed the reins with one hand, held the gun with one arm and stabbed into the air with his backhand. The gun pierced through the head. [

Three thousand Han troops also rushed into Cao Jun's team from both sides, and they shouted: "Xiahouyuan is dead! Xiahouyuan is dead!"

The morale of the Han army was greatly boosted, and they fought the enemy bravely. They formed dozens of spear formations and were unstoppable on the valley road. Mysterious", the main general is dead, they fight to fight, fled southward.

Li Dian, the deputy general, led a rear army of thousands of people. His team was still able to hold its ground, but there was chaos ahead, and the defeated army rushed in like a tide, disrupting the rear army's position. Confusion followed, and at this moment, a tooth general shouted: "General Li, General Xiahou is dead!"

Li Dian was stunned and asked hastily, "Is it true or not?"

"It's really dead, stabbed to death by Zhao Yun, the head is in Zhao Yun's hands, I saw it before my eyes!"

At this time, there was a long howl from the sound of the valley, followed by a shout like thunder, "I am Zhao Zilong from Changshan, anyone who stands in my way will die!"

I saw a general who killed Cao's army through the crowd, charged straight over, and slaughtered Cao's army. Wherever his horse and spear passed, those who blocked him died, and those who blocked him died, and the dead bodies piled up under his gun , Cao Jun's soldiers were frightened out of their wits, yelling and running away.

Li Dian recognized Zhao Yun and saw Xiahouyuan's head on his waist. Zhao Yun urged his horse to kill Li Dian. Under the fighting of the elite army, the whole army collapsed, corpses littered the valley, blood flowed like rivers, and even those who surrendered were stabbed to death by soldiers with spears.

Most of Cao's army was killed and wounded, and the remaining thousands of soldiers escaped from the valley and followed Li Dian, the deputy general, to the west city in panic. Zhao Yun wiped the blood on his face, turned around and shouted: "The whole team, come back to the west city with me!"

'Boom!Boom!Boom! The offensive and defensive battle outside the Han army camp reached the bloodiest moment. Fifty thousand Cao troops attacked the Han army camp in turn. The sound of drums and shouts of killing resounded across the field. net.

Huge fireballs and wooden barrels filled with kerosene passed over Cao Jun's head and smashed into the crowd. The wooden barrels shattered, the fireballs rolled, flames rose, and thick smoke rose. Although the fireballs were not as lethal as boulders, But the panic caused by the fire hit Cao Jun's morale time and time again. Seeing the fireball roaring from the sky, Cao Jun's soldiers shouted, fled around with their heads in their hands, and rushed into chaos.

The Han army camp on the hillside is condescending and difficult to attack. Only the one-mile-long camp on the flat ground is a little easier to attack. This has also become the main attack point of the Cao army. They broke into the Han army camp and burned the food and grass. This is Xu Huang's army. task.

At this time, the offensive in front of the camp had reached a fever pitch. Several ladders were erected on the two-foot-high plank wall. Tens of thousands of Cao troops were climbing on the plank wall, and they fought fiercely with thousands of Han troops. The spear stabbed sharply, blood spattered everywhere, and soldiers kept screaming and fell down the camp. It was hard to tell whether it was the Cao army or the Han army.

Under the inner side of the plank wall, more than [-] Han army crossbowmen fired arrows from the arrow holes, and the dense crossbow arrows continuously "shot" groups of Cao Jun soldiers who were rushing towards the wooden wall. There were three dead Cao soldiers piled up outside the plank wall. It was so high that it almost blocked the arrow holes.

At this time, Cao Jun, a group of more than a hundred people, rushed up holding the bumper. With a loud muffled sound, the plank wall shook violently, followed by a second violent impact, and finally a corner of the plank wall collapsed, forming a Zhang Xi, who commanded the battle, was overjoyed and shouted: "Rush into the camp, and the first person to enter the camp will be rewarded with 500 taels!"

Under the heavy reward, hundreds of Cao soldiers rushed towards the gap frantically wielding their sabers. At this time, more than a hundred Han soldiers led by Lei Tong rushed up and blocked the gap with their bodies.

Lei Tong seemed to be half insane, he swung his big ax and slashed randomly, killing Cao Jun's flesh and blood, killing dozens of people in a row, withstood the first wave of Cao Jun's crazy attack, and the two sides launched a bloody battle in front of the gap. scramble to fight.

Zhang Ren is very calm. There are 6000 people in his barracks. As long as he is commanded properly, he can rely on the strong barracks to resist the enemy's crazy attack. Not as good as your own soldiers.

At this time, seeing that the bow and arrow had lost their effect, he turned his head and shouted: "Use the trebuchet to use a boulder, and hit the enemy within two hundred steps!"

The trebuchets of the Han army can adjust the shooting distance, the farthest is 20 paces, and the nearest can be [-] paces. Two thousand soldiers quickly adjusted the shooting distance and replaced it with boulders weighing hundreds of catties. Soon, The [-] yuan boulder was thrown out suddenly, rolled in the air, passed over the heads of the defending defenders, and smashed towards the enemy group within two hundred steps outside the camp.

This is the place where the enemy's army is densest. Tens of thousands of soldiers of Cao's army held shields to resist the arrows, but they couldn't stop the boulders falling from the air. , bloody and bloody, boulders tumbling, knocking pieces of Cao Jun over.

The Cao Jun soldiers outside the camp suddenly became chaotic. They turned around and fled one after another, retreating like a tide. Without follow-up support, it was difficult for the Cao Jun attacking in the camp to continue. .

Zhang He yelled and cursed loudly, but he couldn't stop the soldiers from retreating. He saw the enemy's catapult attack was fierce, and it was indeed extremely lethal, so he had to turn his horse and go back to find Xu Huang.

"Gongming, the enemy's trebuchets are too sharp, and we've fallen short."

Xu Huang commanded the overall battle from a high place, he saw it clearly, he looked back to the west city, and said coldly: "It's okay, we also have trebuchets, use the speculators to smash the wall of the village, and then we can directly rush into the enemy camp."
