NOVEL FROG Chapter 17
Outside Xia Pi City.
Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian and other troops who had been lying in ambush here: after learning that Xiahou Dun had begun to go down the mountain to counterattack Xiaopei, they immediately began to cooperate!
In fact, there was a small episode here.
Originally, according to Cao Jian's original estimate:
Xia Pi City's defense has the natural advantage of being surrounded by moats on three sides, and it is basically impossible to attack with only 10,000 troops!
However, perhaps because he could not resist the temptation of attacking the city to gain military merits! Xiahou Yuan, the"white general", rushed here and tried to force the siege!
Even with Li Dian, a famous general, watching on the side, he could not stop it at all!
In the end, there is no doubt that the result was the loss of troops and horses!
More than a thousand troops were lost in vain!
This made Xiahou Yuan regretful, and he accidentally said a sentence:
It was once widely circulated, and later even became a famous saying in Cao Ying's army!
"If you don't listen to the Second Young Master, you will suffer a loss!"
Of course, this is a later story...
After Xiahou Yuan suffered a loss, he had to give up the plan to continue attacking Xiapi.
Instead, he continued to act according to the previously planned plan: he hurriedly led the remaining 8,000 troops to ambush on the road that Xiaopei and Xiapi must pass through.
Then, he began to wait for the rabbit!
I don't know how long I waited...
Suddenly, a sentry shouted:
"The enemy is coming——！"
After hearing this, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian and others looked ahead one by one.
They saw dust flying in the distance and people gathering!
The sound of rapid horse hooves was getting closer and closer!
Seeing this, the soldiers instantly became alert! Seeing
Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and other enemy generals, the silhouettes became clearer and clearer...
Xiahou Yuan immediately became excited and shouted loudly:
"Brothers! Here comes your chance to kill the enemy and gain merit!"
"Go!——！！"
Li Dian, who was lying in ambush on the other side of the road, saw this and was not to be outdone!
He immediately took the lead and started charging:
"Brothers, now is the time to achieve success!"
"If we don’t fight now, when will we fight?!"
"Follow me quickly, kill the enemies and their generals!"
"kill——！！"
While they were talking, the two sides of the road were filled with deafening shouts of killing!
Then, thousands of soldiers rushed to the enemy camp! When
Lu Bu's soldiers, led by Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, saw this, their faces changed drastically!
"Oh no! There’s an ambush!!"
At this moment!
There are pursuers behind and an ambush in front!
And the difference in the strength of the two sides is obvious! This life-or-death situation immediately made many soldiers lose their minds!
"God damn! Why did so many Cao troops suddenly appear?"
"Cao’s army is powerful. What should we do?"
"It's over, it's over! I will die without a burial place today!"
"……"
In the midst of the panic
, someone suddenly said:
"Or... let's surrender? It's better to live than to die!
Being a prisoner is better than being dead.……"
As soon as these words came out, many people were ready to give up resistance!
Gao Shun saw this and his face turned cold!
Zhang Liao was even more furious and said:
"Bastard! We are not dead yet!!!"
After saying that, he didn't wait for everyone to react! He was already furious and pulled out the soldier behind him who had initially proposed surrender!
Then, in front of everyone!
Zhang Liao mercilessly killed this man with a single strike:
"Anyone who dares to talk about surrender and disrupt our army's morale will be killed immediately!!!"
"This man will be doomed!!!"
This thunderous move instantly restored the morale of the soldiers who were almost on the verge of collapse!
Gao Shun saw it from the side and nodded secretly.
Immediately, this commander, whose identity and status were higher than Zhang Liao, shouted loudly!
"Soldiers, listen up!"
"Under my command, there are only heroes who died in battle, and no cowards who are afraid of death and surrender!"
"Although today is a desperate situation, the brave will win when two meet on a narrow road!"
"For now, we have to summon all our courage and fight to the death!
We will surely carve out a bloody path and win a chance of survival!"
After saying that, he raised his whip and pointed forward, shouting in a cold voice:
"General Wenyuan! Please follow me and lead the charge!"
"All the brothers in the trap camp, hurry up!!"
"Let us work together to carve out a way out for all the brothers behind us!"
"rush——！！！"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was already ready to die!
He rode ahead and led the charge!
Zhang Liao saw this and laughed loudly:
""Haha! Zhang Wenyuan from Yanmen is here!"
After saying that, he raised his gun and rode his horse to catch up!
The fearless appearance of these two fierce men immediately inspired the soldiers behind them!
The morale of the crowd, which had already fallen to the bottom, soon began to rise under the strong desire to survive in their hearts... Then, the two sides started an extremely tragic fight!
…………
After more than half an hour.
Along the road, more and more people and horses fell.
This close combat finally began to come to an end...
Cao's army, after paying the price of nearly 3,000 casualties: finally annihilated nearly 90% of the remaining 8,000 people led by Gao Shun and Zhang Liao!
In addition, countless baggage and armor were captured, which can be said to be a great harvest!
As for Gao Shun and Zhang Liao? They are indeed rare first-class commanders and fierce generals in the world!
Facing the siege formed by Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang, Li Dian and other first-class generals of Cao Ying, they actually fought their way out of the desperate situation!
In the end, they returned to Xia Pi City with only a few hundred remaining soldiers.
The generals of Cao Ying were secretly surprised by this. The shock in Gao Shun and Zhang Liao's hearts is also indescribable!
Speaking of it, this is also a rare defeat for these two fierce men in their lives!
It is not shameful to lose a battle!
The shame is that they didn't know how they lost from the beginning to the end.
Until they were almost beaten bald, they were still wondering:
"Why did this Cao army that suddenly appeared like a divine force descended from the sky arrive so much earlier than the time mentioned in the secret letter?"
"Also, who was behind these two ambushes that were clearly planned?"
