The Three Kingdoms

"come in!"

"Report to Commander!" The soldiers who strode in looked at the commanders of the two legions, arched their hands, and reported: "Commander Chang Zheng has sent news that he has blocked Xia Houyuan's attack outside the southern suburbs of Guangyang County. Soldiers and horses, let us quickly reinforce and take down this group of soldiers and horses!"

"What, blocked Xia Houyuan?"

When the two heard the words, they looked at each other, and the expressions on both sides showed a touch of joy one after another.

"We must keep Xia Houyuan!"

Hearing this, Huang Zhong's burly body stood up abruptly: "Commander Zu, the soldiers of our Blood Wolf Army cannot attack, and now we can only rely on your soldiers and horses. I am willing to be a pawn and take him down myself!"

"Commander Huang, you are being polite!"

Zu Mao stood up with sharp eyes: "A certain family will never let this beast leave Youzhou!"

Together, the two commanders led a group of cavalry and set off towards Guangyang like lightning.

……

a day later.

The battle in Liangxiang City ended early.

The Wei army's attack was too fierce, and Cao Xing couldn't stop it. He reported it to Pang Tong. After much consideration, Pang Tong agreed to withdraw his troops in order to preserve the vitality of the No.18 army.

Cao Xing was ordered by Pang Tong to lead the main force of the No. 18 army, abandon Liangxiang, and go south to Zhuojun.

And what left Wei Jun was just a ruined city.

"Pass my military order, continue to go south!"

After taking Liangxiang, Zhang Liao didn't stop to rest. He didn't stop, and immediately led his army into Zhuojun, and began to go south with a momentum of no matter the cost. (To be continued.)

[Text Chapter 36 The Fall of Xiahou Yuan in the Battle of Kanto]

Late at night, at midnight, the night is lonely, the starry sky is bright, and a round of bright moon hangs upside down.

Savage Ridge.

This not-so-steep hillside is located thirty miles southeast of Guangyang County City, with Guangyang River behind and Guangyang City in front. The road is located, blocking the way up the mountain, like a lonely cliff.

On the mountain, under the reflection of scattered bonfires, the soldiers of the Wei army threw away their helmets and armor. They were back to back, hungry, squatting on the hills, listless, because they could no longer see hope, nor know tomorrow.

Surrounded by tens of thousands of Wu troops at the foot of the mountain, they had reached a desperate situation, and their morale naturally became low.

General Xia Houyuan of the Wei Army wrapped the gauze around his arm, holding a big gun in his hand, and sat in front of a bonfire, his eyes were bright, looking at the flames of the bonfire, there was a trace of despair in his expression.

Because of the interception of Chang Zheng's soldiers and horses, he did not lead his troops to cross the river smoothly after all, and finally fought against Chang Zheng on the reed marsh, and was defeated, leading [-] remnant soldiers, and fled to the east of the river. , and is now besieged on this hill.

Eight thousand remnants, food and grass lost, desperate.

Under the light of the bonfire, a bitter smile appeared on Xia Houyuan's hard face: "It seems that a certain family is going to be buried here this time, General, I'm sorry, but I can't even join you in Zhuojun! "

He, Xia Houyuan, followed Cao Cao in all endeavors when he was young. At that time, he was full of energy, supported the Han Dynasty, and comforted the people of the world. He was full of enthusiasm and iron bones.

Looking back on his own life, Xia Houyuan has never regretted it. If there is an afterlife, he is still willing to support his brother to rule the world and end the chaotic world.

Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, he has fought in the world, and he has experienced countless battles.

He thought about this day countless times.

As the saying goes, the earthen pot must eventually be broken in the well.It is inevitable that a general will die on the battlefield, and this is the fate of a general.

"Father, why don't we cover you to break through!"

At this moment.A brave young man walked up with an iron gun in his hand, and said in a low voice.

His name is Xia Houheng, the eldest son of Xia Houyuan, and he is also a relatively outstanding leader among the second generation of Cao Wei.Second only to Cao Xiu Cao Zhen and other young warriors who existed.

"Breakthrough?"

Hearing this, Xia Houyuan smiled wryly. He looked up at his eldest son, shook his head, and said, "Xiaoheng, do you think we can get away with the current situation? There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses down the mountain, and countless wounded soldiers. Nothing, how do you rush out?"

"I am willing to lead the soldiers to cut off the heir for my father. Please come out alone!" Xia Houheng knelt down on one knee and said solemnly: "With my father's peerless force, there is a slight possibility of breaking through and crossing the river. As long as we cross the river, we can Gather the soldiers and horses of the Great General!"

"We are the general, please break out of the encirclement!"

Xia Houheng's voice alarmed countless soldiers, and a group of confidant generals surrounded him, knelt down on one knee facing Xia Houyuan, and said respectfully.

They are all Xia Houyuan's most loyal generals.

Each of them has followed Xia Houyuan in battle for more than five years.In their hearts, they could die fighting here for Xia Houyuan.

"Hahaha!"

Xia Houyuan's eyes swept away, and his spirit was high.I couldn't help laughing loudly: "Okay, very good, if a certain family has your support, even if you die in today's battle, you will die without regret!"

"Father, I'll open the way!" Xia Houheng's eyes moved slightly, and he hurriedly called for the vanguard.

"Xia Houheng!"

Xia Houyuan's expression sank, and there was a hint of kindness in his tiger eyes. He looked at the eldest son, and said seriously: "You are the eldest son of my father, and my father has always been very satisfied with you. Today, my father entrusted these sons to you. , after you died in battle for your father, you take them to surrender!"

He has made a decision.

He, Xia Houyuan, had no regrets in his death, but he could not allow his soldiers to be buried with him. He could not exchange the lives of [-] soldiers in exchange for his own life.

Then there is only one way left.

He is willing to exchange the lives of these soldiers with the death of one person.

"Father, don't do it!" Xia Houheng looked a little excited and shouted loudly.

"General, we are willing to fight to the death for you!"

The eyes of all the soldiers fell on Xia Houyuan's burly body with deep respect.

"Win the king and lose the bandit!"

Xia Houyuan stood up burly, standing in front of all the generals, looking at each of his favorite generals: "Today's battle, I, Cao Wei, lost, I, Xia Houyuan, have nowhere to go, and I have nothing to say, but I am the brother of His Majesty, I can die in battle, but I must not surrender to Wu, but you are different, you don’t need to sacrifice yourself for such a senseless battle, you have a family and a mouth, so you have to live, even if it is humiliating Live!"

"General!"

"General!"

When the generals heard the words, their eyes were filled with tears, and their voices were choked up, but Xia Houyuan's words left them at a loss as to what to say to refute.

No one is afraid of death.
