Xiahou Dun's expression changed when he heard that Gao Shun had signed up for his number. Lu Bu had an elite cavalry under his command, and his name was called Trap. This was known to the whole world, and Xiahou Dun had naturally heard of it.
If I remember correctly, the leader of the trapped camp was called Gao Shun.
Looking at it now, this person is really extraordinary!
"Hahaha..."
"Have fun, have fun!"
"Come again!"
Xiahou Dun looked up to the sky and smiled, as if he was eager to fight.
But only he himself knows, and now he must not continue to delay here!
It was only Gao Shun who stopped him here. If the God of War Lu Bu came out again, he might really be in danger of falling here under a two-pronged attack.
We must get out as soon as possible!
Seeing Gao Shun on the opposite side slowly lowering his long sword and getting ready to charge again, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but make a thud and felt uneasy in his heart.
In the exchange just now, the two of them were out of position. Gao Shun happened to be blocking Xiahou Dun's path. If he wanted to break out of the encirclement, he must be captured.
Looking at the quiver on one side, Xiahou Dun already had some concerns in his mind.
"That thief, come and die!"
With a loud shout, Xiahou Dun waved the spear in his hand and rushed towards Gao Shun. There was another powerful and heavy exchange. The two of them took advantage of the inertia of the charging horses to separate them at the first touch.
"The thief looks at the arrow!"
There was a sound of a bowstring from behind, and Gao Shunxin jumped up. He was lying on the side of the horse on the horse that was advancing at high speed. Then he kicked off his right foot and returned to the horse's back. The long knife in his hand was steady.
It was placed in front of the saddle and did not move at all.
Good horsemanship!
Although Ji Ji deliberately deceived Gao Shun, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but secretly praise him when he saw this scene.
Gao Shun is truly one of the bravest generals in the world!
However, the current situation did not allow him to express too much emotion. He immediately picked up an arrow from the quiver and placed it on the long bow.
"Go!"
The same verbal reminder was given, but this time it was replaced by a real arrow, and the arrow was shot just at the moment Gao Shun turned on his horse.
At this time, although Gao Shun's horse had little strength left to move forward, it was just when his old strength had weakened and new strength had not yet emerged that it was really difficult for Gao Shun to dodge the arrow.
As a last resort, Gao Shun had no choice but to fall sideways and hit the horse's belly with one foot. The man and the horse instantly fell to the ground at the same time, rolling on the ground several times before stopping.
It was precisely because of this that he avoided Xiahou Dun's fatal arrow.
Without Gao Shun's obstruction, ordinary soldiers could no longer stop Xiahou Dun. Hundreds of soldiers followed his footsteps and broke out of the encirclement.
When Gao Shun fell from his horse, the surrounding soldiers from the trapped camp decisively formed a circle and protected Gao Shun in the center of the circle.
One of the soldiers helped Gao Shun up and couldn't help but ask:
"General, do we want to pursue him?"
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Gao Shun shook his head.
"Don't worry, sir and the lord have already left a big gift for them."
"This person can't run away!"
"You guys clean up the battlefield here first, and then go with me to meet the Lord!"
"only!"
...
...
Birds were chirping, and the empty valley seemed particularly quiet.
Tap tap tap...
The sound of horse hoofbeats was heard, and on the official road, a group of soldiers and horses galloped towards the north. The leader was covered in blood, holding a long spear in his hand, full of evil spirits.
"Are the enemy troops coming?"
"General, it seems that the enemy... doesn't seem to be pursuing us!"
"What?!"
"Uu——"
After hearing the soldier's report, Xiahou Dun quickly reined in his horse and turned to look in the direction behind him.
"What's going on?"
"Why didn't Gao Shun pursue him?"
Xiahou Dun was a little puzzled. He and his men were obviously defeated. Gao Shun had set up an ambush in advance and had sufficient troops. Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to give up chasing his small group of defeated troops.
Could it be that...Gao Shun is so cautious?
"General, should we turn back again?"
Xiahou Dun shook his head.
"There is no point in going back now. We have lost so many soldiers and horses. If we go back again, we may really be lost!"
"Let's go back and join the main force first, and then make a plan..."
"General...fire..."
"fire!"
"Fire!"
The trembling voice of the guard beside him also made Xiahou Dun's heart skip a beat. Following the direction of his finger, Xiahou Dun's expression changed greatly.
The dense forest where he ordered the large troops to be stationed was already in flames!
No wonder Gao Shun didn't pursue...
He was not cautious, but Lu Bu had already made arrangements and knew that people like him could not escape...
Lu Bu...Chen Gong...
good...
very good!
The anger in Xiahou Dun's heart had reached its peak. Not only that, anger, guilt, and self-blame were all intertwined together. He couldn't help but close his eyes, bit his lips tightly, and secretly clenched his hands into fists, even as his nails dug into his flesh.
Couldn't find it.
"General...what do we do now?"
Hearing Xiaobing's inquiry, Xiahou Dun opened his eyes. He seemed to recall Guo Jia's admonition before leaving in his mind, and saw Lin Zhe's playful eyes again.
No wonder the military advisor told him to obey Lin Zhe's orders, and no wonder Lin Zhe told him to turn around and run away when encountering an enemy, not to plan a counterattack.
Could it be that he had already reached this point?
Is this really a perfect plan?
But now was not the time to let him think about this. Xiahou Dun seemed to have seen the struggle of the robes in the sea of fire. He gritted his teeth and said:
"If all eight thousand troops and horses are lost in the hands of a certain person, even if the master is there, the certain person will not be able to escape death! Now... we can only try to make up for some of the sins of the certain person!"
Xiahou Dun's eyes couldn't help but shed two lines of clear tears, and then he cupped his fists towards the soldiers behind him and said:
"I sincerely ask you all to come with me to pick up the brothers..."
"go home!"
The soldiers all dismounted, knelt on one knee, and said in unison:
"I am willing to die for the general!"
"I am willing to die for the general!"
"..."
The fire was raging, but the dazzling light reflected the calm face of the instigator.
Chen Gong and Lu Bu stood side by side at this time, standing on a high slope, overlooking the feast of fire.
"Sir, you are really good at predicting this. You actually guessed that this army would ambush here!"
Hearing Lu Bu's compliment, Chen Gong was not happy, but instead frowned. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he could not figure out what was wrong.
"Sir...why are you still frowning?"
"In this battle, we either killed or surrendered. We captured nearly 5,000 enemy troops. It was a real victory. However, sir, you don't seem very happy on your face?"
Chen Gong hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said: "My lord, don't you think there is anything wrong with this?"
"Um?"
Lu Bu was a little confused and looked at Chen Gong suspiciously.
"My lord, just imagine, if this army is the main attack, it will not advance with such fanfare. If not, the troops led by Lin Zhe to attack Xiaopei will not progress so slowly;"
"If this army is just feigning an attack, then why are they marching so aggressively? This is not in line with the way of marching!"
"Is it possible that..."
Before Lu Bu finished speaking, he noticed that a scout suddenly came to report in a hurry.
"Report——"
"Reporting to my lord, the city of Xiaopei has been lost. General Zhang is calling for help urgently!"
Before he finished speaking, another scout came to report.
"Xiapi City is in danger. The enemy is less than thirty miles away from Xiapi City!"
After hearing the reports from the two scouts, Chen Gong and Lu Bu looked at each other, and their expressions suddenly changed.
