There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

It's so fast that before you have time to change formation, his formation has successfully assembled, and the cavalry rushed to you with lightning speed.

This trick is really hard to guard against.

This is also the first time Xu Huang and Xia Houyuan have fought against each other, and they almost fell for him if they were not careful.

The speed at which Xia Houyuan turned his army and horses to fight back was so fast that Xu Huang had almost no time to command the pursuing soldiers to react quickly and form an formation.

But compared to Xia Houyuan's speed, Xu Huang also has one of his biggest advantages.

That is stable!

The Jinling City Army does not have as many cavalry as Cao soldiers, which is a disadvantage. Therefore, in the configuration of its infantry, spearmen and large shield soldiers for stable formation defense account for the majority.

Under the rapidly changing situation, Xu Huang quickly made a command. He formed a formation of large shield soldiers and spear soldiers to drive forward, tied up the gate and stood firm, and issued a strict order that the soldiers under his command must withstand Cao Jun's attack no matter what. offensive.

Xu Huang knew very well in his heart that it was impossible to defeat Xia Houyuan's Cao army with his strength. The number of cavalry was much lower than that of the opponent.

According to Guo Jia's arrangement, he, Tao Ji, and the potters who will arrive here soon will form a three-sided encirclement and encircle them from all directions, so that Xia Houyuan's army can be wiped out.

Therefore, stabilizing the morale of one's own side and dragging Xia Houyuan in place is Xu Huang's top priority.

While arranging soldiers to resist Cao's army, Xu Huang ordered his lieutenants and officials: "Soldiers! Xia Houyuan's soldiers and horses came back with high spirits! He thought that he could fight quickly because of the disparity with a certain army. Sure? But what he doesn't know is our Jinling army's ability and fighting spirit! Our Jinling army is the strongest army in the southeast, and Yuan Shu and Lu Bu are not our opponents. When the army is famous all over the world, soldiers, follow me, kill all the thieves and dogs, and protect me in Xuzhou!"

"Kill all the thieves and save me in Xuzhou!"

"Kill all the thieves and save me in Xuzhou!"

"kill!"

Xu Huang turned around and ordered the military marquis accompanying the army, saying: "From now on, you will be the supervisor and beheader, but any soldier who dares to retreat will be killed!"

After a pause, he continued: "Including Xu!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Huang brandished his battle axe and led the troops under his command to the front line.

Accompanied by Xu Huang's command and encouragement, Cao Tao's two armies collided together. The two soldiers and horses were like two huge meteorites. The collision generated huge energy and burst into fierce sparks!

With high-pitched roars and icy iron tools, the soldiers and horses of the two sides began to attack and defend violently.

In order to boost morale, Xu Huang went to the front of the battle, willing to shoot crossbow arrows, while commanding the soldiers to fight fiercely, while personally hacking and killing the soldiers of Cao Jun, he used his presence to boost the morale of the Jinling Army, and fiercely attacked Xia Houyuan's soldiers. After Xia Houyuan's sudden callback, he stabilized the situation.

Xia Houyuan's surprise was that the Jinling army could be so tenacious in the face of their own sudden U-turn attack.

In front of the opponent's formation, Xu Huang, who was leading the shield soldiers and spearmen under his command to firmly hold the position, commanded the soldiers while wielding a big ax to fight bravely. His outstanding performance really surprised Xia Houyuan .

"The Jinling Army has gained fame in the southeast in recent years. It has defeated Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Ruo Rong and others in a row. It really has its merits. Xu Huang's skills are very good, and he is really incomparable! Tao Bandit does have good generals. He is Meng De's formidable enemy!"

Xia Houyuan is a person who likes to compare skills, seeing that Xu Huang is so good, he is also happy to see that he is hunting, so he immediately gallops his horse and rushes to the front of the battle, wanting to compete with Xu Huang.

In the chaotic army formation, Xu Huang was leading his personal guards to fight bravely, when Xia Houyuan suddenly led the troops not far away.

Xia Houyuan stared at Xu Huang closely, and drove the troops forward. The soldiers on both sides confronted each other, and Xia Houyuan pushed aside the crowd, caught Xu Huang's big ax with his weapon, and scolded: "The thief general Good martial arts! Sure enough, you have some ability! Can you report your name?"

Xu Huang looked at the strong figure in front of him, with thin cheekbones and cheekbones, and probably guessed the identity of the opponent, and said in a low voice, "It's Xu Huang! Are you Xiahouyuan?"

Xia Houyuan smiled, but did not answer directly: "It doesn't matter who I am, you just need to remember that I am the one who takes your life!"

When he finished speaking, he saw that the spear in Xia Houyuan's hand had already moved, and he went straight to stab Xu Huang's face.

Xu Huang turned his body to one side to avoid Xia Houyuan's attack, and at the same time he slashed the big ax sideways, aiming at Xia Houyuan's head.

"Bang!" One move intersected, and the two separated.

Xu Huang took a deep breath, thinking in his heart that Cao Cao's generals are really good, and this Xiahou Yuancheng can be said to be his opponent.

He secretly twisted his sore and numb wrist from the shock, swung the big ax again, and with the momentum, Xia Houyuan slashed down with the sound of a sharp wind.

Xia Houyuan shouted loudly and raised his spear to parry.

With a crisp sound of "铛啷", Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang's bodies leaned back at the same time. Xia Houyuan looked down at the spearhead, and there was a gap the size of a grain of rice.

At the same time, Xu Huang glanced at his big axe. It was still sharp and intact. He smiled triumphantly, and said loudly, "Be careful!" and rushed towards Xia Houyuan again.

The two of you come and go, driving the horse back and forth, fighting hard.

While fighting, Xu Huang secretly admired Xia Houyuan's strength.

Every time the opponent shoots a spear, it is tricky and insidious, and the speed is extremely fast, like flint and lightning, often dissolving one's own offensive advantage.

It was obvious that Xia Houyuan had specialized in martial arts since he was a child, and he was extremely proficient in what he learned. If he hadn't competed with Xu Chu in recent years, Xu Huang felt that he might not be his opponent.

Xia Houyuan also became more and more frightened as he fought. Although the opponent's big ax was heavy, and it cut up and down without any tricky skills, but the ax and ax came to the vital point, and there was no false move. If it was accidentally stuck, it would still be a serious injury , and the opponent's arm strength was still great, Xia Houyuan's arm was numb from repeated shocks, he gradually did not dare to confront Xu Huang head-on, and just used the lightness of the spear to dodge the sharp edge of the big axe.

The skills of Xu Huang and Xia Houyuan are equal, but Cao Jun has more cavalry, and the number is several times larger than Xu Huang's 5000. The soldiers under Xu Huang's command were able to persist at first, but gradually began to lose , The proportion of casualties gradually began to increase, and the formation began to show signs of chaos and collapse.

At this moment, another five thousand Jinling army led by Tao Ji rushed over from another direction.

The existence of Tao Ji was already within Xia Houyuan's expectation, and he ordered the school lieutenant Zhu Heng to lead the flanking troops to resist Tao Ji's 5000 troops.

Although Xia Houyuan had many soldiers and horses, since they were only facing the enemy on two sides and the situation was under his control, there was nothing serious about it. But what he didn't calculate was that at this moment, the potter, Xu Chu and others The real main force of the Jinling Army led by Ren was rushing towards him from another direction.

Moreover, the direction of their attack was directly behind Xia Houyuan's soldiers and horses.

Chapter 334 The Stunning Double Arrogance

The Tao merchant asked Cao Bao to lead the Xuzhou army to sit in Peijun, while he himself led the main force of Jinling City to attack Xiahouyuan's rear.

During the battle against Xiahouyuan this time, the potter also specially invited Tai Shici and Zhao Yun to follow him, and asked them to help defeat the enemy together.

Tai Shici's visit to Xuzhou this time was originally to help the pottery merchant, to repay his kindness to him when he was in Beihai County.When he was in Beihai County, he once expressed to Kong Rong that he hoped to go to the front line of Pei County with the pottery merchant and obey the orders.

Although Kong Rong was somewhat dissatisfied with Tai Shici's move to get too close to the pottery merchant, one reason was that Tai Shici had no official position under his command, and the other reason was that Tai Shici was under his command to repay Gu's mother's kindness. By the standards, Tai Shici was not Kong Rong's subordinate at all.

Therefore, he has no right to restrict Tai Shici's freedom too much.

As for Zhao Yun, he was originally ordered by Gongsun Zan to help the pottery merchant. The pottery merchant invited him to go with him, and the courageous Zhao Zilong would naturally not refuse.

Moreover, since he came to Xuzhou with the pottery merchant, Zhao Yun found that Mr. Tao was really nice to him.

Because Zhao Yun was very brave, he repeatedly called on his fellow countrymen to fight against the Yellow Turbans in Changshan County, and his reputation in the county gradually grew, so he was recommended to Gongsun Zan by the county guard.

Although Gongsun Zan also admired Zhao Yun's bravery, he thought that he was young and needed experience, and he was not from a noble family. If he was too important, he would be criticized by others, so he was only made a low-ranking captain and took charge of a small number of cavalry drills.

And Zhao Yun also knew that he had just joined the army, lacked qualifications, and needed a lot of experience, so he didn't blame Gongsun Zan, and the two of them were tacit.

But Mr. Tao obviously didn't think so.

The actions of the pottery merchants are somewhat meritocratic.
