Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 585: Xiahou Dun was in the trap, and the tiger and leopard cavalry were defeated

After Yuan Tan captured Xudu, he ordered the city defenses to be strengthened, and at the same time sent scouts to patrol the direction of Runan and report the movement of Cao Cao's reinforcements at any time.

At the same time, he made a statement to Yuan Shao about the next strategy of attacking Sili Prefecture, hoping that Yuan Shao could launch the Battle of the Yellow River at the same time, cross the river and form a pincer attack with the current Xuzhou army, and recover the counties and counties of Sili Prefecture as soon as possible.

After Yuan Shao received the letter, he simply read it and swiped his pen. He approved of the operation, and ordered Zhang He and Han Meng to lead an army of [-] troops to cross the river and attack Chenliu.

After Xiahoudun broke through the blockade, he had already arrived at the city of Xudu. When he saw that the flag of Yuan Zi had been hung on the city of Xudu, he knew that he had come too late. , in order to improve mobility, he brought mostly cavalry.

Therefore, they could only set up camp in the distance, waiting for Cao Cao's reinforcements to come, and the army gathered in one place, and then tried to recapture Xudu.

Yuan Tan had already received the report of the horse scouting, and knew that Cao Cao's vanguard had arrived, and there were nearly [-] tiger and leopard riders, led by Xiahou Dun.

If he went out of the city to fight against him at this moment, Xiahou Dun's men and horses rushed over, they must be exhausted by now, and they would definitely lose.

As long as they are properly arranged, all these tiger and leopard riders can be wiped out.

But after all, it is a tiger and leopard cavalry, and this battle still needs to rely on the Iron Buddha as the main force, supplemented by other arms.

As for the losses of the Futu Tiewei in Wuhuan, after returning to Xuzhou, Yuan Tan asked Deng Ai to refill the Futu Tiewei's staff, and the number of Futu Tiewei was restored to [-], and the training was under the strict supervision of Xu Shu. Under the circumstances, the recovery is almost inseparable.

What's more, Yuan Tan also has a new trump card, which is a unit formed by Deng Ai with his own personality charm.

Immediately, Yuan Tan sent Qi soldiers out of the city to attack the camp that Xiahou Dun had just built.

Xiahou Dun is also a veteran who has been fighting for a long time. Seeing Yuan Tan going out of the city, he can only bring his soldiers and horses to confront him head-on.

The so-called best defense is offense. As long as Yuan Tan's attack is repelled this time, he will be fine in the short term. When the army comes, it will be time to counterattack Xudu.

He left a thousand men to guard the camp for one of his school lieutenants, and then rode out of the camp with the remaining tigers and leopards to meet the enemy.

The two armies faced each other, Yuan Tan rode forward, looked at Xiahou Dun in the distant camp, and shouted: "Yuan Rang, we meet again."

Xiahou Dun also saw Yuan Tan, but at the moment he was itching with hatred. This man killed Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan and many other military generals related to the Cao family.

So he made up his mind to kill Yuan Tan in this battle, and avenge the Cao family generals who died in battle.

With that in mind, he didn't say much, and the horses summoned everyone to rush towards Yuan Tan.

"Tch, so no nostalgia for the past, anyway, we have met each other many times on the battlefield, but now we don't even say a word." Yuan Tan muttered in a low voice.

Immediately, the two armies fought, the tiger and leopard cavalry were evenly matched against the Futu Iron Guard, and the two sides fought in chaos.

These thousands of tiger and leopard riders fought against five thousand iron stupas evenly.

The Pagoda Iron Guard came with great ferocity and showed off their power when they fought against the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. On the other hand, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were tired of traveling and went into battle without taking a rest when they arrived. Now their strength is only less than five. become.

But fortunately, there were far more people than the Futu Iron Guards, and they were fighting back and forth at the moment.

Xiahoudun also knew that the tiger and leopard cavalry at this moment could not show its best strength. If it was given to him for a day, the strength of the tiger and leopard cavalry would definitely be doubled, but Yuan Tan would not give him this opportunity.

This time, he could only bite the bullet and fight Yuan Tan. Xia Houdun commanded the tiger and leopard cavalry to charge back and forth, adjusting the formation of the tiger and leopard cavalry from time to time.

Yuan Tan himself did not fight Xiahou Dun directly, but this made Xiahou Dun very angry. Whenever he was about to approach Yuan Tan, there would always be more guards around Yuan Tan to stop him.

If it wasn't for the need to command the troops, Xiahou Dun would have rushed to kill Yuan Tan at this moment.

Yuan Tan saw that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had suffered a lot of damage, so he sent an order, and everyone turned around and retreated when they saw the order.

Since Xiahoudun's tiger and leopard cavalry blocked the direction of returning to the city, Yuan Tan rushed towards the forest area in the direction of Runan with the Futu Iron Guard.

Xiahou Dun was overjoyed when he saw it. He thought that Yuan Tan might have been shocked by the strength of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and now he was in a panic, so he ordered to pursue him.

But in the middle of the pursuit, a tripping rope suddenly protruded from the ground, and many tigers and leopards were caught off guard and tripped.

Once the front army fell, many of the tiger and leopard riders behind did not stop, they just stepped on it, and for a while, many of them were trampled to death by their own horses.

Xiahou Dun also discovered that there was an ambush, so he knew it was bad and shouted to retreat, but it was too late.

The ambushes suddenly rose all around, and the rain of arrows came immediately, and the tiger and leopard riders easily shot and killed many tiger and leopard riders, and Xiahou Dun also turned around with the rest of the tiger and leopard riders to retreat.

But the Futu iron guard who was retreating just now turned his head, and now he is chasing back.

Now the chasing parties have changed positions.

Xiahou Dun, who was still on the chase just now, is indeed fleeing in embarrassment.

Xiahou Dun was also cursing in his heart at this moment, this villain Yuan Tan is full of tricks.

The best thing now is to return to the camp, there is still a chance, but how could Yuan Tan let Xia Houdun retreat so easily.

At this moment, Deng Ai led Qingqi to kill Xiahou Dun from the front of Xiahou Dun's retreat. Xiahou Dun saw that it was just an ordinary Qingqi, so he ordered everyone to rush over.

But these light cavalry are not ordinary cavalry, these are rangers, they belong to Wuhuan.

What Deng Ai did in Wuhuan before was to influence the Wuhuan people and put them under his command, and many of them followed Deng Ai back to Xuzhou.

At that time, Deng Ai reported the matter to Yuan Tan, and Yuan Tan agreed, but he was thinking that if these cavalry were successfully trained, it would be possible for Baima Yicong to return to the world.

I saw that the cavalry led by Deng Ai all took out the Zhuge Liannu, and shot randomly at the tiger and leopard cavalry rushing towards them.

Seeing the tiger and leopard cavalry approaching, the cavalry didn't like to fight, they turned around and ran, and shot while running, this is Cong Wuhuan's ranger cavalry tactics.

Xiahou Dun also had a headache, he had never seen such a tactic before, and his tiger and leopard cavalry could not catch up with these light cavalry.

No matter how much he lost, the ranger also wanted to stop him, that is, to clear the route back to the camp soon, and to go back to the camp early.

Now there are only less than five thousand tiger and leopard riders left. If Cao Cao knows this, he will pass out from distress.

Xiahou Dun was indifferent to this. He could just reorganize the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry once they were gone. Now he had to quickly escape from Yuan Tan's pursuit. Only in this way could he have a chance to make a comeback.

Seeing that the camp was right in front of him, Xiahou Dun also felt that victory was in sight.

But when he got to the gate of the camp, no one opened the gate, after a while of silence, a head flew out from the camp, it turned out to be the head of the school lieutenant he appointed to stay guarding the camp.

At this point, Yuan Tan's Futu iron guards also chased up, completely blocking Xiahou Dun's back path, and Deng Ai's light cavalry flashed constantly on both sides.

Xiahoudun could only sigh to the sky, my life is over.
