Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Liu Bei took a breath, nodded directly and said: "It should be so, my original plan is like this, and I have sent my trusted people to remove the sentries along the road, and there will be absolutely no obstacles before arriving at Li Yi's camp. At that time, I will use the gong as my name, and when General Xiahou hears the news, he just needs to push his soldiers and horses to the front of the gate of the camp to disrupt Li Yi's deployment, and I will lead the army to break into Li Yi's tent and take his head!"

When he said the last four words, Liu Bei's face was already full of ferocity, obviously he had to kill Li Yi.

Seeing this, the three of Xia Houyuan had no doubts, and they were also relieved. They were worried that Liu Bei would not be a pioneer and were reluctant to take risks, but now Liu Bei took the initiative to take over this important task.

Xia Houyuan showed a deeply moved expression, patted Liu Bei's shoulder vigorously, and said, "Don't worry about Xuande, as long as you break the camp, I will immediately let Zi Lian lead the soldiers to follow, even if you can't kill Li Yi, will definitely make Xuande retreat completely!"

"General Benevolent! Thank you very much!"

As Liu Bei spoke, he bowed down to Xia Houyuan. Xia Houyuan and others smiled and helped Liu Bei up, but none of them noticed the madness that flashed in Liu Bei's eyes when he bowed his head.

Chapter 493 The End of the Hero

Under the night, the camp outside the west gate of Cheng County slowly opened, and two thousand soldiers and horses, each with a horse wrapped around their hooves, quietly walked towards Li Yi's place, which was the original Huang Zhong camp.

Not long after Liu Bei left, Xia Houyuan also left the city with more than 1 people, followed behind Liu Bei and others, and slowly drove in the direction of .

Today's Xia Houyuan is not the famous general who fought against the rebellion five times later, but since he started his army with Cao Cao, he has already gained a lot of experience in commanding troops. Although he has already trusted Liu Bei very much, but in On the way, he was still extremely cautious, checking the situation along the way, for fear of falling into Li Yi's way.

"Miaocai, the scout found the corpse in the grass just now. It looks like it is dressed up. It is from Li Yi's side. It should be a patrol scout who was removed by Liu Bei."

Cao Hong caught up from behind and talked to Xia Houyuan about the situation. Xia Houyuan nodded slightly. This was what he told the people below to do, just in case. Now it seems that everything is fine.

Seeing Xia Houyuan being so cautious, Cao Hong couldn't help but said, "Miaocai still suspects that Liu Bei is cheating?"

Xia Houyuan smiled and said: "I don't doubt that he is a general, and the lives of thousands of soldiers are tied to him, so no one can be trusted except myself."

Cao Hong was speechless when he heard the words, feeling that Xia Houyuan had counted him in, and was about to say something more, when he heard Cheng Yu praise: "On holidays, the general must be a generation of famous generals!"

Xia Houyuan was not complacent because of Cheng Yu's approval, but waved his hands calmly, and said in a low voice, "This place is not far from Li Yi's camp, let the soldiers be alert."

"Here!"

Cao Hong responded, and was about to pass the order, when he heard a bang in front of him, and a large area of ​​flames instantly lit up, reflecting the complexions of Xia Houyuan and others who were still in the darkness faintly red.

"How is this going!"

Xia Houyuan asked subconsciously, but immediately shouted: "No, it's been tricked, Liu Bei has not yet entered Li Yi's camp at this time, this fire can only be ambushed by Li Yi!"

Both Cao Hong and Cheng Yu looked ugly, Cao Hong asked: "What should we do? Should we withdraw the troops?"

Xia Houyuan's face turned pale. At this moment, he was extremely disturbed, and he didn't answer Cao Hong's question, because he didn't know whether Liu Bei himself had been tricked, or whether there was some big scheme that included him.

"General, what should I do?"

"Are we going back to the city?"

"General"

At this time, the army behind Xia Houyuan was also faintly agitated, and many generals were waiting for Xia Houyuan's attention. Seeing this, Xia Houyuan shouted: "Everyone, don't panic, Liu Bei is greedy for merit and rushes into the middle, and the army will be fine!"

Xia Houyuan was trying to stabilize the morale of the army by force, but as soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone around him yelling loudly: "Stop, who is in front!"

As the words fell, many archers also began to draw their bows and point their arrows forward.

Xia Houyuan looked forward intently, and saw many figures not far away, running towards them. From the appearance, these people walked quite loosely, without formation.

Xia Houyuan waved his hands, signaling the archers on the left and right not to shoot arrows, and then asked loudly, "Is Liu Xuande in front?"

Soon, Liu Bei shouted in the crowd in front: "General Xiahou, please withdraw quickly. Li Yi's [-] troops can surround this place. General, break through and be here as the general's rear!"

Liu Bei's voice was loud, a bit mournful, and crying. Immediately, Xia Houyuan's side, from generals to ordinary soldiers, all changed their expressions.

Night attack is a very risky action, especially for Xia Houyuan and the others. As a team that has been besieged for a long time, it is not easy for the army to stay alive. After Xia Houyuan suddenly ordered a night attack on Li Yi , Many bottom-level soldiers are complaining in their hearts. Putting aside their previous plans to surrender, now that they can leave, they don't hurry up, but they have to fight Li Yi before leaving, which makes many people feel war-weary.

Not even ordinary soldiers, some generals and officers are actually the same.

Under the influence of such a mentality, now I hear Liu Bei loudly saying that Li Yi's [-] troops surrounded them. The first thing most people think of is not resistance, let alone where Li Yi's [-] troops came from, but What should I do to survive, whether to kneel down and pray for surrender, or turn around and run away.

It was precisely because of the panic and nervousness of the crowd that many people did not notice that Liu Bei was running towards Xiahouyuan with his men at a faster rate.

At this time, the soldiers and horses behind Xia Houyuan had already produced commotion, but Xia Houyuan didn't stop it, because he felt as if his head had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, and his whole body felt a little nervous when he heard the [-] troops. He was stunned, and then fear and regret surrounded him. He really didn't dare to imagine how the night attack would end tonight.

But at this moment, Cheng Yu, who was equally astonished, suddenly shouted loudly: "Let the arrow, let the arrow go, Liu Bei's words are deceitful, he has already turned his back!"

Xia Houyuan was startled again when he heard the words. When he looked up, he saw that Liu Bei was no more than twenty steps away from him. Under the light of the torch, Liu Bei's originally elegant face was full of murderous intent, even ferocious. This is definitely not what a partner should do. Some look!

"Stop them!"

Xia Houyuan hurriedly commanded the soldiers to go forward immediately, and shouted to the left and right at the same time: "Don't panic, everyone, Liu Bei only has 2000 people, beat him quickly, everyone follow me back to Yanzhou!"

Hearing Xiahouyuan's words, the soldiers under his command felt a little relieved, but Xiahouyuan himself was extremely desperate. If Li Yi saw through Liu Bei's calculations, it would be okay. In this situation, it is obvious that Liu Bei cooperated with Li Yi to trick him. All the plots and calculations are aimed at him. Can he go back to Yanzhou?

Even if he returned to Yanzhou, what face would he have to meet Cao Cao?

Just after Xiahouyuan's order was completed, Liu Bei also led his troops to Xiahouyuan's formation. Cao Hong greeted him with a knife, and cursed: "Liu Bei! You shameless person, we have no grievances with you, why did you design Frame me and wait!"

Liu Bei swung his sword at Cao Hong, and said loudly: "You and I have slaughtered hundreds of thousands of good people in Xuzhou! The crime is heinous! Everyone in the world must punish him!"

Cao Hong scolded: "Li Yi treats you like that, but you are his loyal dog, you are so stupid!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei's hand holding the sword tightened. Although he didn't lower his head to look, Liu Bei knew that the wound must have opened and blood was flowing out, just like his heart.

Some thoughts flashed through his mind, and Liu Bei said with a serious face: "Bei and Xianghou are personal grudges, but Bei dare not waste righteousness because of personal grudges, so you stay here tonight to make atonement for the people of Xuzhou." !"

After saying that, Liu Bei threw himself at Cao Hong, stabbing repeatedly with his long sword, which was completely a life-threatening style of attack. For a while, Cao Hong couldn't resist, and could only retreat while cursing.

And following the confrontation between the two, Liu Bei's two thousand soldiers rushed into Xiahouyuan's army formation after paying a little damage. No matter how Xia Houyuan shouted, the effect of restraint was not obvious.

According to normal circumstances, 2000 people, unless they are all cavalry, will not be able to achieve such an effect at all. However, there is too much difference in the morale and morale of the two sides. The next time, they were shocked by Liu Bei's 2000 people and kept retreating.

What made Xia Houyuan even more desperate was that just when Liu Bei and Cao Hong fought, many torches had been lit up around the army. 10 people are average.

Although Xia Houyuan knew before that Li Yi would definitely set up an ambush all around, but when he saw it, he felt dizzy and could hardly keep his figure.

Xia Houyuan's eyes were a little wet. He knew that his army was finished. He was sorry for Cao Cao and the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command.

Thinking of this, Xia Houyuan grasped his saber, and just about to use his strength, he saw Cheng Yu holding his hand, and said eagerly: "General, please calm down, just now Liu Bei said that the [-] army is a bluff, if the general simply Breaking through the siege is not without a way out, but if the general can't think about it, the army will really be wiped out!"

Cao Hong had been forced by Liu Bei's men to keep retreating. He just heard Cheng Yu's words and shouted without turning his head: "Miaocai, you are the chief general. Hurry up and go first. I'll finish off the rear!"

Xia Houyuan's eyes were full of hot tears. He knew that he must make a choice at this time, but before he gave an order, he heard many noisy footsteps from all around, and then someone shouted: "Xiahouyuan, my lord let you wait!" Leave, you are ungrateful, and instead attacked my lord's camp at night, such ungrateful people deserve death, let the arrows go!"

"Ah! How shameless!"

Xia Houyuan was so angry that he was scolded by Li Yi. It was obviously Li Yi who asked Liu Bei to fool him into attacking him at night. It turned out to be good now, as if he had taken the initiative, but the current situation does not allow Xia Houyuan to explain more, because the person opposite said, he He could already hear the sound of arrows piercing through the air, as well as the screams of soldiers around him.
