Chapter 117(1/2)
Xia Houyuan knew something was wrong, jumped on his horse, rushed out of the woods, turned around and shouted into the woods.
"Everyone, stop messing around and come out quickly!"
More and more Cao Jun soldiers rushed out of the woods, trying to escape the sea of fire. At this moment, countless figures suddenly rushed out from the other side of the woods and quietly approached the frightened Cao Jun soldiers.
Soldier.
Under the firelight, countless broadswords flashed with cold light, slashing wildly, and the killing began.
Cao Jun's soldiers, who were originally frightened like headless flies, had no desire to fight at this moment. When they saw the enemy rushing towards them, they turned around and ran away. However, they never thought that they would bump into their companions, causing even greater chaos.
The soldiers of Lu Bu's army rushed out from behind with almost no effort and no need to defend. They only needed to chop with their swords to kill the enemy.
"Ahhh!"
Xia Houyuan also discovered this group of enemy troops, and knowing that he had fallen into the enemy's plan, he hurriedly shouted, "Brothers, pick up your swords and guns and fight with them."
Although Xia Houyuan wanted to block the enemy's attack, his soldiers were already in chaos and fled in all directions. Where could he organize effective resistance?
Xu Chu wanted to see everyone rushing around like headless flies, and suddenly he became furious. He waved the sword in his hand and cut down several soldiers who rushed over, but it was to no avail. What about the chaos of 6,000 soldiers and horses?
One person can resist it.
"Ahhh!"
More and more Cao Jun soldiers collapsed backward, and even Xia Houyuan and Xu Chu were dragged back. The two screamed anxiously, but how could they save the defeat?
Shi Huan, who was staying behind in the camp, saw the fire in the woods and knew something was wrong. He hurriedly led the 4,000 soldiers who were ambushing in the camp to fight off the enemy's attack.
But as soon as Shi Huan and others broke out of the camp, the defeated soldiers of Cao's army had already retreated from the opposite side.
These Cao Jun soldiers knew very well that in comparison, being in the wilderness was very dangerous, and the safest place was of course the camp.
So after these soldiers retreated, they rushed towards the camp one after another, even Xia Houyuan and Xu Chu were no exception.
Shi Huan's troops had just rushed out and saw the retreating Cao soldiers, but they could not kill them all, so they could only retreat step by step. Not long after, they were overwhelmed by the defeated soldiers. Not only did they not save Xia Houyuan's crisis, but they even
The soldiers and horses were also in chaos.
Han Hao, who was ambushing on the other side of the camp, had also seen the fire ignited here. He was shocked when he saw everyone retreating towards the camp. He knew that he had been ambushed by the enemy and he would not block the enemy's attack.
,I’m afraid I will fail miserably this time.
Han Hao was cautious and knew that if he led his troops directly into the camp, he was afraid that the 5,000 soldiers and horses he led would also be overwhelmed by the rebel army.
Therefore, we cannot go directly to the rescue. We must bypass the defeated Cao army and attack the enemy directly to save the defeat.
Han Hao led his troops and horses and bypassed the camp from the front, hoping to attack the enemy's headquarters directly.
But at this moment, bursts of horse hooves suddenly came from the darkness. Due to the chaos in the camp and the constant shouts of killing, the sound was actually covered up. It was not until the horses rushed out of the darkness that Han Hao discovered the cavalry.
arrival.
Seeing the large group of cavalry rushing towards them, Han Hao's face suddenly changed with fright, and he shouted in a hissing voice, "Pikemen, hold on, don't let them rush into the camp."
But it was already too late. 1,000 Bingzhou cavalry, led by Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian, divided into two groups and rushed directly into the troops led by Han Hao.
The chaos in Cao Jun's camp originally made Han Hao's soldiers panic. When they saw the enemy's cavalry rushing towards them, they knew they were being ambushed. Almost subconsciously, they rushed towards the camp, trying to escape the cavalry.
The impact.
In fact, if these soldiers and horses are well prepared, even if there are 1,000 Bingzhou cavalry, as long as they are properly defended, it will not be so easy to rush in.
But at this moment, Han Hao's soldiers saw the fire all over the mountain, and there was a lot of killing everywhere. The enemy's cavalry suddenly came out again. They were already panicked, their morale dropped seriously, and their reaction was naturally slower.
The Bingzhou cavalry was so powerful that Cheng Lian rushed into the enemy camp first, picked up a Cao soldier with a spear in his hand, and shouted, "Whoever dares to resist, this is what will happen!"
The two teams of Bingzhou cavalry were like two daggers, and it didn't take long before they divided Han Hao's group into three sections.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
Han Hao tried his best to stabilize the camp, but to no avail. He could only see Bingzhou cavalry galloping through the crowd, chopping up Cao Jun soldiers like lambs.
Xia Houyuan and Xu Chu fled back to the camp. Before they could take a breath, they heard shouts of killing coming from outside the camp, and soon soldiers came to report.
"Oh no, General Han's soldiers and horses were attacked by Bingzhou cavalry and are now being routed towards the camp."
Xia Houyuan's face turned pale, "It's over, it's over this time, we are defeated."
Xu Chu jumped on his horse and shouted, "I don't believe they can still stop us."
Watching Xu Chu rush out, Xia Houyuan gritted his teeth and immediately led hundreds of Cao soldiers who had gathered together to kill outside the camp.
At this time, Han Hao and Cheng Lian were already fighting together, and the fight was fierce.
Cheng Lian and Han Hao were almost the same, and they were both brave generals who took the lead. The soldiers next to them could only hear the two roaring like thunder, and they kept fighting each other.
Xu Chu rushed out with his troops, and happened to see Zhang Liao leading his troops into the camp. He was furious and shouted, "The enemy generals should not be so rampant. Let me, Xu Chu, fight you."
Zhang Liao sneered, not afraid at all, "Xu Chu, then let me see what you are capable of."
The two men rushed forward on horseback and soon rushed in front of them. Zhang Liao had the advantage with his spear and took the lead to stab Xu Chu in the throat.
Xu Chu roared angrily, swung the sword in his hand vigorously, and lay on the gun barrel in Zhang Liao's hand.
With a snapping sound, the two swords collided together. Zhang Liao felt numbness in the tiger's mouth and couldn't help but take a breath.
Zhang Liao was very proud of his martial arts. He didn't expect that the black man in front of him was so strong.
However, Zhang Liao was not afraid. He used his exquisite marksmanship and rushed forward again.
When Xu Chu saw this, he kept roaring and swung his sword like a windmill. After a few rounds, Zhang Liao became a little weak and was beaten and retreated.
Xia Houyuan also rushed forward with his troops. Seeing that Xu Chu had the upper hand, he hurriedly shouted, "Xu Chu, I'm here to help you."
Hearing these words, Zhang Liao secretly complained in his heart. Xu Chu was already difficult to deal with, and if Xia Houyuan was added to the mix, he would definitely be defeated.
Just when Zhang Liao was hesitating whether he should retreat or not, a loud shout suddenly came from behind him.
"It's nothing to fight two against one. If you have the ability, you can fight with me."
After the voice fell, a crimson war horse, like a red lightning, rushed out of the darkness. The Fangtian painted halberd in the horse's knight's hand flashed with a mind-extinguishing light in the firelight.
"Lu Bu!"
When Xia Houyuan saw Lu Bu's god-like figure rushing out, he trembled and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Seeing Lu Bu rushing over, he almost subconsciously turned his horse's head and ran away.
When Xu Chu on the other side heard Lu Bu's voice, his face turned pale with fright, and he knocked Zhang Liao away with a knife, "I won't accompany you today, I will fight you next time."
After shouting, Xu Chu left Zhang Liao, turned his horse's head, and retreated towards the camp.
When the soldiers of Cao's army saw that the two generals had run away, they had no intention of fighting. They hurriedly stepped forward and chased after the two men.
Even Han Hao, who was fighting fiercely with Cheng Lian, could only sigh in his heart when he saw this scene, turned around and ran away.
When Cheng Lian saw his opponent running away, he shouted angrily, "Why are you running? You will fight with me for another 300 rounds!"
The soldiers of Lu Bu's army pursued them to the edge of the camp and wanted to pursue them again, but were stopped by Zhang Liao.
Cheng Lian asked in confusion, "Old Zhang, why didn't you chase me?"
Zhang Liao raised his finger and pointed at Cao Jun's camp, and suddenly sneered, "Lao Cheng, look, there are so many timbers next to the camp, and they are also doused with kerosene. They seem to be gifts prepared for us. Why don't we pay them back?"
To them?"
Hearing this, Cheng Lian's eyes lit up, he looked up to the sky and laughed. He turned to the soldiers behind him and shouted sternly, "Brothers, light a fire for me and let them taste the roasting."
Everyone responded in unison, immediately picked up the torches nearby and threw them towards Cao Jun's camp like raindrops.
Xia Houyuan's preparation was indeed very complete, and the wood was stacked evenly, especially around the outside. In order to facilitate ignition, he used a lot of kerosene, but unexpectedly, it gave Lu Bujun an advantage.
The torch fell on the firewood, and in just a blink of an eye, everyone was burning violently.
The wood was piled everywhere, and soon the entire camp was in flames.
Xia Houyuan and others tried their best to stabilize everyone's emotions, but they did not expect that the fire started again and immediately surrounded them in the fire.
This time, Xia Houyuan also panicked. Lu Bu didn't use the wood he prepared, but let him use it himself.
Han Hao quickly came to Xia Houyuan, raised his hands and said, "General Xia Hou, our army is in panic now, and it is really not suitable to fight anymore."
Having said this, Han Hao sighed and said, "General Xiahou, let's break out of the encirclement. If we stay any longer, I'm afraid the entire army will be annihilated."
Shi Huan also said hastily, "General Han is right, if you stay any longer, you will only lose more."
Xia Houyuan looked at the frightened eyes of the soldiers around him, sighed secretly in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Give me the order, everyone will break out with me."
Cao's army braved the fire and rushed out of the camp, and immediately encountered the oncoming Lu Bu's army.
Whoosh!
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
The sound of bows and arrows and screams sounded again.
Lu Bu's army's spearmen and swordsmen also rushed forward fiercely and started killing again.
The soldiers of Cao's army were frightened out of their wits. After only a slight resistance, they were immediately defeated and fled in all directions.
"Kill!"
