Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Seeing that his life was in danger, Xia Houlian didn't care about face, so he shouted loudly. "Come on, the general has already entangled the thief..."

The voice sounded, and Cao Jun, who had already arrived nearby, rushed to find him. Seeing that Xia Houlian had been cornered, he hurriedly joined the battlefield.

With the soldiers joining, Xia Houlian hurriedly left the battlefield, and shouted and commanded from the side.

"Quick, you, you, surround him, and the rest of the people quickly enter the granary to fight the fire, and you hurry to inform General Xia Houdun that the bandits in Huwei Mountain are rebelling..."

Someone commanded Cao Jun to have order and began to act according to the order. Zang Ba knew in his heart that it was impossible to follow the plan, so he retreated to the granary while killing, preparing to join the army.

As soon as there was any movement in the granary, Xia Houdun had already dispatched and led his army to rush there. On the way, he met soldiers who came to report and learned that they were newly cast rebels.

Xia Houdun knew that this was premeditated, so in order to avoid being attacked from inside and outside, he quickly sent someone to notify the guards at the gate of the village, and asked them to stand ready to guard against the enemy's sneak attack.

Xia Houdun's reaction was quick, but unfortunately Zhang Yan and the others didn't intend to occupy the Ao Cang, they just wanted to burn the food.

When Xia Houdun arrived, the granary was already on fire, and even the surrounding air could feel a little heat

The Ao Cang is a turnover point, and the stored grain comes from all over the place. It will be destroyed once, and the grain in Guandu will not last long at all.

Xia Houdun was anxious, and hurriedly commanded the soldiers to put out the fire, but Zang Ba's army entangled Cao Jun who was trying to put out the fire, so they couldn't put out the fire with peace of mind.

Seeing that the flames had illuminated the night sky, Xia Houdun's heart was ashamed, his eyes were red, he looked at Zang Ba who was the leader, clamped his horse's belly hard, and rushed towards him.

"Bold thief, it's like this, die!"

Hearing the violent drinking, Zang Ba, who was fighting, was startled. He swung his sword and quickly beheaded Cao Jun in front of him, so as to make room for himself to fight around.

Chapter 694 Destruction

As soon as the two men were killed, a long spear was stabbed at him. Zang Ba quickly swung his sword to open it, but unexpectedly, Xia Houdun was so angry that he used all his strength, and the sword only deflected the spear head a little.

The spear pierced through the armor on the left side of the abdomen, and brought up a piece of cloth, and Zang Ba stepped back a few steps.

There was a big hole in the armor on the outside of the abdomen, but fortunately there was soft armor inside, otherwise with the force of this spear, Zang Ba would be seriously injured even if he did not die.

Stabilizing his figure, Zang Ba looked at Xia Houdun vigilantly, and kept moving his five fingers holding the sword to ease the aftershock just now.

Xia Houdun was also shocked that the blow did not kill the thief in front of him. You must know that the blow just now, looking at the entire Cao Ying, may not be able to block 20 people, let alone the situation just now.

But right now is not the time to surrender, even if this person is powerful and burns down the granary, he still wants to stay here.

Xia Houdun swung his spear and stabbed at Zang Ba with a tie. With the advantage of the horse, he firmly gained the upper hand for a while.

The fire has been burning for almost an hour, and the food should be almost destroyed. If the battle continues, it may be dangerous.

Zang Ba brandished his sword and kept resisting the attacking spears. He quickly calculated the gains and losses in his mind, and felt that the time to retreat had come, so he quickly shouted for soldiers to break through.

But how could Xia Houdun let them retreat? Hearing Zang Ba's order, he immediately called for the soldiers to rob and kill them, as if he would not let them go, and vowed not to give up.

The two sides fought fiercely in the camp. Although Cao Jun tried his best to stop them, Zang Ba and others were allowed to move slowly. You must know that these people were all selected by nearly 8 people from the Shenwu Army, and they were all elites.

Five miles away from the Aocang camp, Zhang Yan was walking back and forth, thinking about whether to attack the camp.

Originally, they planned to take advantage of Cao Jun's unpreparedness, set fire to the granary and leave, but now the shouts were so loud that Zhang Yan also guessed that it should have turned into a hand-to-hand battle.

With thousands of people in the Zangba area, even if they were killed, there might not be many left, but if they attacked the camp, it would be dangerous if they were bitten by Cao Jun, and they would definitely be chased by Cao Jun on the way back to Guandu, and they would have nowhere to hide.

Zhang Yan stopped, waved to the soldiers beside him and said, "Go and see, is there a fight at the gate of the village?"

The soldier got the order and was about to leave when suddenly beautiful fireworks lit up in the sky.

"There is a signal, all the officers and men listen to the order and hurry to meet General Zang." Zhang Yan got on his horse and galloped forward quickly.

A hundred meters inside the gate of Aocangzhai, Cao Jun surrounded them heavily, trapping Zang Ba and other remnant soldiers in the center.

Fighting all the way from the granary, there were no more than a hundred people around Zang Ba, and most of them were injured, but those who survived were all capable people.

About ten minutes before the signal was sent, Zang Ba suddenly yelled. "Soldiers, death and life are at this moment, and we will kill them at will!!!"

The heart-piercing roar stimulated the blood of the more than a hundred survivors, and followed Zang Ba to move forward quickly.

Seeing this, Xia Houdun knew that this was the flashback of Zang Ba and others, as long as they intercepted this time, they would die.

In order to keep the culprit who burned the granary behind, Xia Houdun did not hesitate to pay any price, shouting: "The whole army obeys the order, don't let them rush out alone, otherwise military law will be followed."

Hearing the order, Cao Jun turned all his attention to Zang Ba's troops, and even the defenders of the Zhaimen raised their weapons to defend against possible impacts.

When Cao Jun was besieging and killing Zang Ba's troops with all his strength, Zhang Yan outside the village took advantage of the darkness and approached, and suddenly led his army to storm the gate of the village.

Cao Jun was pinched from inside and outside, and lost his sense of proportion for a while, causing a short-term loss of consciousness, revealing a gap for Zang Ba to lead dozens of people to escape.

After receiving Zang Ba, Zhang Yan and others quickly dispersed around, trying to break up into pieces to avoid Cao Jun's pursuit.

Seeing that the disaster was about to escape, Xia Houdun was very anxious, and led his troops to chase until dawn. After losing all traces of Zhang Yan's troops, he retreated to the camp annoyed.

After some inventory, nine out of ten granaries were destroyed. Xia Houdun's face was gloomy, knowing that he couldn't hide it, so he could only send someone to report to Cao Cao, and led the army to encircle the bandits and bandits everywhere, venting his anger.

On the other side, Zhang Yan and others successfully burned the Ao Cang's grain, gathered scattered subordinates and began to retreat to Guandu. Passing through some places along the way, they pretended to be bandits and looted wantonly, causing a moment of panic and causing headaches for officials everywhere.

In Guandu, since Li Huiyi asked Zhang Yan and others to act, he started a series of offensive measures. First, he sent General Huang Zhong to attack Cao Ying with the excuse of avenging Huang Pei.

Although he hadn't gained any real benefits, he had taken the lead in terms of momentum. Then Li Huiyi recovered a little, led the army in person, and set up a battle formation to fight Cao Cao decisively.

However, Cao Cao did not fight, but ordered the army to stand in battle. Li Huiyi made a strong attack and tested it. Seeing that it was difficult to capture, he withdrew his troops and returned to camp.

Next, Li Huiyi sent generals to call for battle every day, looking for a chance to fight, but Cao Cao never gave him a chance, so the two sides were at a stalemate, waiting for an opportunity.

Cao Ying, at this time a fast horse galloped towards the direction of Cao Cao's commander's tent. The soldiers along the way saw the bamboo tubes tied with red steps behind them, and they all hurriedly avoided.

The rider came outside Cao Cao's tent, quickly got off his horse, and quickly entered the tent. After a while, he heard Cao Cao's angry voice, followed by the order to call for a discussion.

A quarter of an hour later, all the personnel had arrived, and Cao Cao's face was extremely cold, as if he was on the verge of an explosion. "The news came from Ao Cang that the grain was destroyed, and there was not one out of ten."

Just a few words fell on the ears of the people in the tent, it was no less than a skillful spring thunder, and the mind was shaken for a while.

Li Rujing lost his mind for a moment, and immediately said: "Prime Minister, the only thing left now is a decisive battle, otherwise our army will be defeated."

Cao Cao didn't answer Li Ru, but looked at Xu You with cold eyes, and asked coldly, "Ziyuan, what happened to what I asked you to do?"

When Xu You heard this, he felt anxious. Ma Chao's family had already disintegrated. In the worst case, Ma Chao would leave with less than [-] direct descendants.

But at Zhang Xiu's place, Xu You tried his best, but there was nothing he could do. Instead, Zhang Xiu and his subordinates were not allowed to meet alone.

Xu You replied: "Prime Minister, the Xiliang army has no problem, but Zhang Xiu seems to be reluctant."

Seeing that Xu You was in a daze for a moment, he gave such an answer, Cao Cao's expression dropped even more, and he asked: "This is your achievement, it really disappoints the truth."

Xu You panicked and knelt down and said: "Prime Minister calm down, since Zhang Xiu is unwilling to hand over power, why not invite him and send someone to escort him to Xuchang to take up his post."
