In the pine forest, several brown mice stood up on their upper limbs and laboriously carried the food they had just found into the cave. In the process, they did not forget to raise their ears to observe the movements around them.
As if hearing something, the mouse paused in its forward movement, and turned its head alertly to look in the direction of the sound source.
As the sound got closer and closer, the mouse didn't even care about the food in its hands and retreated directly into the hole.
Outside the pine forest, Xiahou Dun pointed to the woods in front of him and said to the lieutenant:
"See the woods ahead?"
"Tell the soldiers to stay here and use the woods to hide themselves. When someone leads the enemy here, be sure to capture them in one fell swoop!"
The lieutenant general was Xiahou Dun's confidant, so naturally he didn't want to watch his coach lure the enemy in person, so he quickly cupped his fists and asked for a fight.
"General, why don't you let the young general lure the enemy? How can the general put the general in danger?!"
"You really know how to take credit!" Xiahou Dun kicked the deputy general, then laughed and cursed, saying: "This mission really has to be done by someone!"
"The enemy is not a fool. If they don't have a general with enough weight to lure the enemy, they won't be fooled!"
"you?"
"Not qualified yet!"
Xiahou Dun planned well. He led 2,000 troops and horses to continue marching in the direction of Xiapi. If he encountered an enemy ambush on the march, he would pretend to be defeated and retreat. He would break up at the first touch and not entangle with the enemy, so as to lure the enemy to the bamboo forest.
Then he turned around and ambushed this large army!
A general who doesn't want to win is not a good general, so Xiahou Dun was naturally unwilling to become Zhang Fei's backdrop.
Lin Zhe gave him 8,000 soldiers and horses, and he had enough chips to give him a try. Attacking the city was naturally impossible. If these 8,000 soldiers and horses were the elite of the camp, he would still dare to try siege warfare.
But now, Xiahou Dun can only seek a fierce battle in the wild.
After all, Lin Zhe's order to himself was very vague, telling him to retreat when encountering enemies, with the primary purpose of preserving his strength.
In this way, his autonomy was quite high. With so many soldiers and horses in his hands, Xiahou Dun really couldn't control his general's instinct to win.
"Remember, prepare some birds and grains later, wait for a certain army to lure the enemy here, and then release them to disrupt the enemy's sight, so that no one can find out the clues."
Although Xiahou Dun was reckless, he was indeed a good fighter when it came to fighting, and even this detail was taken into consideration.
...
...
Flowing clouds covered the full moon, and the woods gradually darkened, leaving only dim starlight.
It was inconvenient to march at night, so Xiahou Dun could only lead his army to station in the dense forest and wait for dawn tomorrow before continuing to set off.
A night of silence.
Early on the next morning, Xiahou Dun left the woods with two thousand troops and headed towards Xiapi.
While they were marching, suddenly there was a sound of artillery fire from both sides of the road, and thousands of enemy soldiers emerged with bows and arrows in hand.
"Fire the arrow!"
Whoosh whoosh——
Following the order, arrows fell like raindrops.
However, Xiahou Dun seemed to have been prepared for this. His soldiers quickly blocked the baggage trains at the outermost perimeter, forming the first line of defense.
With the help of the defense of the baggage trains, Xiahou Dun's troops, which should have suffered heavy losses under the first wave of arrows, suffered not very heavy casualties.
"withdraw!"
When the first wave of arrow rain stopped, Xiahou Dun decisively seized the gap and issued the order to retreat.
"General, there are enemy troops blocking the road on the left!"
"General, there are enemy troops on the right..."
"General, there is someone behind you..."
"Don't panic, just follow him and I will take you out!"
There was no trace of panic on Xiahou Dun's face. He had already anticipated this situation.
The bait itself is extremely dangerous. It is similar to fishing. While waiting for the fish to take the bait, there is a natural possibility of losing the bait...
Wuwuwu——
As the horn sounded, the enemy troops gradually formed an encirclement on three sides and slowly approached Xiahou Dun's army.
Xiahou Dun held a brown spear, wore bright armor, and rode a red-maned horse. He led his men and horses to break through the enemy's weakest point.
Two angry waves hit one place like a flood, splashing with boundless blood. Soldiers from both sides screamed and rushed towards the opposite side, either killing the enemy or being killed by the enemy...
On the battlefield, the power of an individual is too small.
The centurion commander under Lu Bu had just killed an enemy soldier with his own bravery, but before he could recover, he found that a spear had penetrated his chest.
When he used his last strength to look back, he found that the enemy soldier who had just killed him had been killed by his companions.
War itself is a meat grinder. If the most barbaric thing is in the arena, then the most violent thing is on the battlefield...
Death is everywhere and happens all the time!
The soldiers on both sides were furious, and they desperately slashed their swords at the enemy, and were immediately chopped down by others...
At the forefront of the battlefield, a plow-shaped arrow seemed to appear in the torrent, frantically harvesting the enemy's heads.
The army headed by Xiahou Dun was invincible. Like a sharp sword, it tore a hole in the enemy's siege!
At this time, the importance of famous generals is reflected. In terms of armor, Xiahou Dun's equipment is much better than that of these soldiers. Three or four enemy soldiers slashed at Xiahou Dun's body with long swords, but only a spark was wiped out. The armor was almost
Removed all the strength;
In terms of martial arts, Xiahou Dun suddenly advanced from left to right. There was almost no enemy on the field. Corpses were everywhere wherever he passed. His blood-soaked appearance made even the enemy soldiers tremble in fear.
Feeling that the obstacles ahead were getting smaller and smaller, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but feel happy. Was he about to escape?
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and a loud shout came from behind him.
"Leave it to someone!"
Xiahou Dun suddenly felt a bad wind coming from the back of his head. Without thinking, he quickly lowered his head.
It was this intuition of death that saved his life. A long knife narrowly missed his head. If it had been half a minute later, Xiahou Dun would have been dead and dismembered.
Feeling the fear of death passing by him, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but feel frightened. He turned his head and saw a dark-faced general in black robes, riding towards him on horseback.
"The shameless thief actually attacked me from behind!"
"Do you dare to fight me openly?!"
The man did not speak, but showed his answer with actions.
The long knife struck from top to bottom, and the strong wind that broke through made the air scream.
Xiahou Dun did not dare to be careless and quickly raised his gun to block.
When——
A huge sound of fighting came from the center of the two men, and then spread in circles. The soldiers who were farther away couldn't help but cover their ears. As for the nearest ones, blood oozed from their ears.
Although Xiahou Dun blocked this man's swift blow, he couldn't help being shocked and angry when he saw the hoofs of the horse under his crotch sinking deeply into the ground.
"Who is coming? Do you dare to tell me your name? My men will not kill unknown people!"
