Han Xiang

Chapter 619 Ziyi shows off his skills and shoots Dueye

Is this Taishi Ci?Xiahou Dun was impressed by this name.

He was a famous person in Luoyang, the capital of the country. I heard that he later met Sun Ce and had an inseparable fight.

Judging from the first round of fighting, Taishi Ci's martial arts is indeed not weak, and it also proves that Sun Ce is not in vain.

But Xiahou Dun once heard Zhang Liao's analysis that Xu Chu's bravery should be better than that of Sun Ce. Long Xiang thought that Xu Chu and I were on par.

One to two, equal conversion.

I should be stronger than Taishi Ci, so there is nothing wrong with that.

Xiahou Dun was thinking a lot at that moment, and he quickly filled himself with confidence through his brain.

After a moment, Xiahou Dun turned his horse around and charged back. Xiahou Dun clenched his sword and slashed towards Tai Shici's face. His strength and momentum were even more manic than in the first battle.

Although Tai Shi Ci was surprised, his marksmanship was not messy at all.

Each pick and move was still clever and precise, easily neutralizing the opponent's brute force.

The two sides fought for three to five rounds. Taishi Ci had figured out Xiahou Dun's sword skills and immediately launched a counterattack with a fierce offensive.

Xiahou Dun was caught off guard and hurriedly raised his sword to block, but the spear points from ahead came like raindrops.

Fast speed and tricky angles.

"Ah, hiss"

When Xiahou Dun was parrying, he was accidentally stabbed in the right leg by Taishi Ci's spear.

Severe pain surged to the top of his head instantly, but after all, Xiahou Dun had experienced many battles and did not fall off the horse in pain due to his injury. Instead, he decisively grabbed the reins and turned around to leave.

Am I not on par with Xu Chu?

Why didn't even Taishi Cishihe survive?What went wrong?
Wait, is it Long Xiang who is tricking me?
Xiahou Dun was stimulated by the pain and finally figured out the key point.

"Long Xiang, you are a shameless traitor!"

Xiahou Dun scolded and whipped his horse. The rapid sound of hoofbeats behind him hit his eardrums. He knew that Tai Shici was chasing after him.

The offensive and defensive forces suddenly changed, but Xiahou Dun's horses had no advantage. Taishi Ci was about to catch up.

Fortunately, the accompanying guards swarmed forward and blocked Xiahou Dun's pursuit from the powerful enemy.

Xiahou Dun did not escape two miles, but saw bursts of smoke and dust on both sides, and the naked eye could see two large groups of people approaching.

From the usual lack of banners, it was not difficult to guess that it was Long Xiang's army.

When did Long Xiang's troops and horses...
Xiahou Dun was horrified. A small number of cavalry from the left and right armies had already surrounded him. The two generals at the head were very familiar. They were Long Xiang and Cao Xing who had just led him into the urn.

"I'll hold this blind man back, and you aim and shoot him in the right eye!"

"well."

"Long Xiang, you don't have martial ethics."

Before Xiahou Dun finished cursing, he saw Long Xiang urging his horse forward and blocking the way in an instant, while Cao Xing stationed his horse on the right and drew his bow.

Martial ethics?Long Xiang didn't think about it at all.

The battlefield is a place of life and death, and any means can be used to win.

If they follow the rules of the Spring and Autumn and Zhou Dynasties, they will not stand out in Huainan based on Longxiang's grassroots background and status, let alone stir up trouble in the Central Plains.

Xiahou Dun was so panicked that he didn't notice that the army he brought with him was also running wildly on the east side.

Long Xiang blocked the way, and Cao Xing fired another hidden arrow.

Xiahou Dun hurriedly pulled the reins to dodge, and turned around to find that his hundreds of cavalry had been quickly defeated by Tai Shici, and 34 remaining cavalry were running towards him in panic.

Tai Shici followed closely with his troops. He discovered Cao's army coming from the east, and also saw Xu Chu commanding the main force of the Huainan army coming from the left and right to encircle him, while Long Xiang and Cao Xing were blocking the way.

If Xiahou Dun were to engage in a battle between trapped beasts, we might not be able to keep him with such a large number of cavalry.

Seeing Cao Xing standing on his horse and drawing his bow, Taishi Ci suddenly remembered Long Xiang's words before the battle, and slightly twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking about it immediately.

Taishi Ci wanted to show off his skills at this moment. He took off the bow and arrow from his waist and took aim on the bumpy horseback.Running around and shooting arrows, this is the real horseback shooting!
Taishi Ci's body is like a rooster, his lower body swings with the war horse, but his upper body is as stable as Mount Tai.

Whoosh whoosh.

The arrows flew out of their strings one after another, and several cavalrymen in front were hit by the strings, but they didn't fall off their horses even though their armor was unloading.

The only one who was on the verge of falling was the opponent's general Xiahou Dun.

An arrow passed through the gap and hit the man's right eye impartially.

"Ah my eyes!"

Xiahoudun threw away his weapon and covered his face with his hands. His body immediately swayed and fell to the side. Fortunately, the guards had quick eyesight and quick hands to catch him, and the other guards followed him around and escaped.

Taishi Cizheng said he would catch up and capture him alive, but he didn't expect that Xiahou Dun was so lucky, and that Long Xiang and Cao Xing actually didn't move at all.

When encountering such a strange thing, Taishi Ci didn't want to question Long Xiang, so he stepped forward and looked at Cao Xing with a frown.

"Xiahou Dun was hit by an arrow in his single eye. Why didn't you intercept him from the side? Maybe he has been captured by now."

Taishi Ci asked heartbrokenly, and Cao Xing just responded with a bitter smile, because it was an order from Long Xiang, and he could only carry it out unconditionally.

Seeing that Cao Xing remained silent, Taishi Ci planned to ask more questions, but Long Xiang took the initiative to explain.

"Ziyi is really good at shooting. It's not unjust that Xiahou Dun fell into your hands today. I just ordered not to continue the pursuit. Letting him go will do more good than harm to us."

"Huh? Why?"

Long Xiang smiled lightly and pointed to the east with his telescope. He suddenly stopped smiling and said in a deep voice: "Xiahou Dun's main force has arrived. He is now blind and has been rescued. Do you think this will affect his military morale?"

"The general wants to take advantage of the situation."

Taishi Ci suddenly realized it. After saying this, he picked up his telescope and looked around. He saw his own troops on the left and right sides. At this moment, he suddenly changed direction, as if he planned to fight with the leaderless Cao army.

The opportunity was indeed created. Just as Taishi Ci looked excited, Xiahou Dun was surrounded by people and was approaching the formation, and Long Xiang used his command flag to remind Xu Chu.

The time for counterattack has arrived.

Cao Jun marched for half a day, and originally retained his physical fitness, but after running for more than ten miles, his body began to tire rapidly, while the Huainan soldiers were full of physical strength.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were running and fighting in the wilderness, and their screams seemed to shatter the sky.

Xiahou Dun was hit by an arrow and fell unconscious. The whole army was shocked and morale collapsed. Since the soldiers were leaderless, they were unable to organize effective resistance. They could only compete with each other to see who had better physical strength and faster running.

This group of Cao Cao troops was left by Cao Cao. More than half of them were surrendered soldiers from Hebei. The armor coverage rate of the whole army did not exceed [-]%. Their physical strength was exhausted while running, and they were no match for the Huainan army.

The defeated soldiers who fell behind and were overtaken quickly became dead souls under the sword.

Among these soldiers who surrendered from Hebei, there were a small number of Yuan's tribes, and most of them were the Black Mountain Army and Gongsun Zan's tribe.

Losing to Yuan Shao and losing to Cao Cao, I originally thought that I would not be able to meet a stronger enemy in the future as my daughter-in-law became a mother-in-law. However, I did not expect that I was manipulated by Long Xiang and lost to an opponent who should not be defeated.

Fortunately, the sun was setting rapidly, and the darkness provided cover to escape.

In addition, all members of the Huainan Army were armored with leather, and the weight on their bodies was relatively higher, which offset Cao's army's previous fatigue. As long as they ran as hard as they could to Xudu, they would be able to escape back.

When the infantry chases and kills the infantry, the physical strength is always exhausted, and the casualties caused are always limited. The main reason is that the enemy's formation is chaotic, and the personnel collide and trample each other, so the night is not good news for Cao's army.

Sure enough, Cao's army was driven like cattle and sheep by the Huainan army. When there was light, the losses were relatively limited, but after nightfall, they wailed.

Fleeing back to Xudu early the next morning, Cao's army of [-] was counted less than [-].

It is simply unbelievable that the same force has such battle losses.

Xiahou Dun was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Cao's troops who left the city were defeated and returned. Xudu officials were horrified when they heard the news.

At the critical moment, Xun Yu stepped forward to turn the tide.

Facing a strong opponent, Long Xiang, Xun Yu immediately deployed to close the city gates, and released troops to patrol to maintain order. At the same time, he announced a curfew in Xudu.

I thought that Long Xiang could secure Hefei, how could I, Xun Yu, not be able to secure Xudu?
