Kill! "
Xiahou Yuan shouted, heavy long knife in the air cut a strange arc, splitting the cold air, diagonally cut Liao Hua right shoulder, Liao Hua is not afraid, struggling to swing a knife, hard to knock Xiahou Yuan chopping the long knife, burning hot battle intent from his eyes burning.
"Bam~"
The violent sound of gold and iron shattered Liao Hua's eardrums, Liao Hua felt a buzzing in his ears, and could not hear any more sound, the strong and unparalleled power through the steel knife tidal wave rolled back, shaking his arms sore and numb, as if there was a huge mountain of a thousand pounds pressed on Liao Hua in a moment, making him unable to support, hard to breathe.
"Poof~"
Liao Hua could no longer support such fierce pressure, his legs bent and fell to the dust, his knees wrapped in iron armor chiseled heavily into the cold mud, more than a foot deep.
"Go to hell~~"
Xiahou Yuan's hand long knife raised again, the eyes of the fierce awning, the head issued a wolf howl unlike human, the ice cold long knife again chopped down.
"General be careful~~"
Seeing Liao Hua like dumb, kneeling on the, ignoring the head chopping the long knife, a soldier's eyebrows hideous, shouted kneeling lunged, actually with their own not strong body to block in front of Liao Hua, at the same time will hold the spear viciously poked at Xiahou Yuan crotch mount.
"Poof~"
The cold cold awning swept down, sharp and matchless cut into the body of the pro-trooper, straight through the heavy crotch, but the pro-trooper dying spear also stabbed Xiahou Yuan's mount, the mount head issued a hiss of sorrow, throwing open four hooves wildly up. Instantly carried Xiahou Yuan sped off into the distance.
"Poof~~"
A strand of crimson blood suddenly seeped up from the forehead of the soldier, the soldier's fierce bright eyes instantly dulled, the breath of life passed from his body like a firework fading. When Liao Hua finally woke up from his brief confusion, he saw the soldier's not so strong body split into two valves and fell down, splashing hot blood splashed all over Liao Hua's head and face.
"Erguzi~~"
Liao Hua howled mournfully, fell to his knees in a pool of blood, dragged the two valves of the body of his relative desperately trying to put together, but how can not be put together. After a heart-breaking howl, Liao Hua raised his bloody face, his eyes showed a wild beast-like sink. He carried his steel sword backwards to meet the strict Han army formation, and hissed harshly throughout the battlefield.
"Xiahou Yuan, dog thief, return my brother's life~~"
"Kill~"
Behind Liao Hua, more than 2,000 Yellow Turban soldiers swarmed like a shadow.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
More than a thousand Han soldiers formed a neat square formation, stepping neatly and shouting neatly as they rolled forward, colliding head-on with the swarming Yellow Turban soldiers, just like a reef hitting a raging wave, splashing up water droplets in the sky in an instant, amidst the tragic sound of gold and gongs. The reef is still, but the raging waves have been split into pieces.
"Abet~~"
The icy cold killing machine came face to face, several sharp spears like vipers stabbed straight into Liao Hua's chest, the spear blade flickering cold flame like the cold eyes of a viper. Liao Hua was shocked, and the tide of tyranny receded from his eyes like wild water. In front of him, there was one flickering spear blade after another, and in an instant, dozens or hundreds of Yellow Turban soldiers were pierced by the cold spears.

"Ee~~Yah!"
A loud cry from the right, Liao Hua turned his head, a dazzling cold mane has swept the air to stab.
"Xiahou Yuan!
Liao Hua howled wildly, hastily raised his sword to protect his chest, ear-splitting whistle cut through the void, Xiahou Yuan's spear thrown across the air had already viciously hit the surface of Liao Hua's steel sword, the violent sound of iron and gold, the fierce recoil backwards like a tidal wave. Liao Hua the whole person arrow backwards and fly back, where passed, the yellow turban bandits like waves split, the formation of chaos.
"Retreat~ Retreat~~"
In fact, he did not even need to order the Yellow Turban bandits to retreat, or rather, they had already started to collapse, and the Yellow Turban bandits swarmed in chaos to roll back at a faster speed. The mountains were filled with wilderness and fled.
"Stop chasing~~"
Xiahou Yuan strangled his horse and raised his sword, giving an order. Han soldiers have to stop their footsteps.
Although the Yellow Turban bandits have more than two thousand people, all wearing cloth armor, and even archers, spear soldiers, its fine equipment let Xia Houyuan feel incredible and red, but they are only some bandits, and well-trained Han army can not be the same day! Han army just a charge, broke down the thieves' defense line, the situation became a one-sided chase.
If in normal times, Xiahou Yuan will never let go of the opportunity to chase, chase to the ends of the earth to kill the bandits, but today, but not the time, to cover the Lord's army retreat task has been completed, Ma Yue light cavalry may catch up at any time, or early withdrawal is better.
"The whole army retreat ~ ~"
Xiahou Yuan gave another order, the Han army quickly retreated, and after a few moments, they withdrew cleanly from the view of the yellow turban bandits who were fleeing.
Liao Hua breathed a long sigh of relief and sat on his buttocks on the grass, recalling the thrill of the vicious fight with Xia Houyuan, and felt the palpitations of his heart at this time. The power of that knife, so that Liao Hua will never forget this life, if you can choose, he would never want to meet this devil again in the battlefield.
"General, should we continue the pursuit?"
A small chief asked Liao Hua.
"No need, let's go back to Changsha."
Liao Hua faintly returned a sentence, abruptly looked back at the north, the fate of the Han army has been destined to be annihilated! Xiahou Yuan, even if you can break through me Liao Hua, but can you pass Ma Yue Ma Tu Fu? Xiahou Yuan, the devil, eight hundred stragglers, tigers and wolves, let them fight to the death, it is best to fight a defeat!
Suddenly, one day a scene in the mind of Liao Hua clearly floated.
......
A few days ago, Ma Yue's camp.
Liao Hua, Peng Tuo, Bian Xi, Sun Zhong four people entered through the fish, only to see Ma Yue look cold. Kneeling alone on top of the main seat, always in the shadow of the thin man (Guo Tu) shadow of a person without, fierce and fierce Xu Chu, Dian Wei is also not around. The wavering candle flame. Only the cold shadow and horse butcher company.
Please sit down.
Ma Yue Su hand let sit.
"Thank you, Great General."
Liao Hua four people thanked and sat on the left and right seats.
Ma Yue's eyes swept through a trace of coldness and said in a deep voice: "Four generals, Ma Yue asked politely, do you really think that Zhang Liang and He Yi's rabble can defeat the elite army of the Great Han Empire? Do you really think that you can hold Yingchuan and take over the side with a few tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans?"

Liao Hua frowned and said, "Whether we can defeat the Han army or hold the Yingchuan River, we have to try it to know the result."
Bu Xi said coldly: "If you want to convince the general to give up Yingchuan, you don't have to do so. "
Ma Yue kindly, Liao Hua, Bian Xi and other people's reaction was completely expected. The world is bustling, all for profit. The world is bustling, all for profit! People are always selfish and will always put their own interests first, so is Zhang Liang, so is He Yi, so is Liao Hua and the others, so is Ma Yue.
Except for life and death brothers, who would put others' interests above their own?
In the matter of whether to give up Yingchuan, it does not matter who is right and who is wrong, who is right and who is wrong, and Ma Yue does not have the slightest intention of resentment or hatred, no one can force others to sacrifice their own interests to protect the interests of others. But. This does not mean that Ma Yue can not use Liao Hua them to achieve their own purposes.
People have selfishness and self-interest to have greed, and with greed, they will be used, as it has been in the past.
"Four generals, how about we make a deal?"
Ma Yue smiled lightly and threw out a poisonous bait. Ma Yue believed. Liao Hua four people is categorically can not refuse this deal, because in this deal, Liao Hua they can get everything they want! Not only could they defeat the Han army and achieve the ideal of holding Yingchuan, but more importantly, they could also obtain the fine equipment they had dreamed of.
"What is the deal?"
Liao Hua and Bian Xi asked almost at the same time.
Ma Yue said, "You help me kill two people, and I help you defeat the Han army."
Liao Hua's face changed and he said in a gruff voice, "Who do you want to kill? General Tian and He Yi?"
Ma Yue's heart flinched and he said indifferently, "General Bian Xi need not be excited. The people I want to kill are not General Tian and He Yi, but Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the main generals of the Han army."
Ma Yue was telling the truth, when he learned that the main generals of the Han army were Cao Cao and Liu Bei, he immediately changed his mind. If there was a chance, Ma Yue really wanted to kill Cao Cao and Liu Bei! The reason is very simple, the chaotic world at the end of Han Dynasty without Cao Cao and Liu Bei may be even more chaotic and worse, but Ma Yue believed that he could definitely live longer and more comfortable.
People are not for themselves, the destruction of heaven, as modern people. Ma Yue would not be so stupid as to choose Cao Cao and Liu Bei as the ultimate opponent? If there is a chance to kill Cao Cao and Liu Bei before their wings are full, can Ma Yue not be moved? Don't say things like "there is no opponent. The end of Han Dynasty is not a river or lake, and life is not a child's play.
Liao Hua frowned and said, "Does General Cao Cao and Liu Bei have an enemy in the past?"
Ma Yue kindly said, "It's not bad to say so."
Bu Xi said, "Yesterday, the general wanted to lead his troops to leave, but today he said he would help us defeat the Han army. "
Ma Yue said in a deep voice: "In order to show my sincerity, I would like to take out all the weapons and armors in my treasury and distribute them to the four generals' Yingchuan soldiers, how about it?"
Liao Hua was overjoyed, "Is that true, General?"
Peng Tuo, Bian Xi and Sun Zhong were also surprised. If Ma Yue was really willing to take out the weapons and armors from the treasury and give them to them, the Yingchuan soldiers of the four generals would immediately change from a rabble to an elite division! Even the general Han army county soldiers are not as well equipped as they are.
Ma Yue said solemnly, "Really!"
Bu Xi four people together in a corner of the tent, quickly exchanged views, and finally by Liao Hua to Ma Yue said: "General. I am willing to cooperate with you, but I am at your mercy!"
A cold smile emerged from the corner of Ma Yue's mouth, he had known that Liao Hua and the four would agree to cooperate.
"In that case. Now agree on the strategy to defeat the Han army." Ma Yue looked cold again and said in a deep voice, "The Han army is an elite division, experienced in a hundred battles, well-equipped, and the main general Cao Cao and Liu Bei are all shrunken generals in the sands, with a wealth of experience in battle, there is no hope of winning a head-to-head battle! Even if we have 800 stragglers joining us, we will still lose but not win. If we want to break Cao Cao and Liu Bei's Han army, we must come up with a strange strategy."
Liao Hua asked, "I don't know what strange strategy the general has to break the Han army?"
Ma Yue said, "Cao Cao and Liu Bei are all cunning and wise people. If it's just a normal strategy, it's hard to make them fall for it, but only a real one can work."
Liao Hua asked, "How to make it real?"
Ma Yue said, "He Yi, the Che Cavalry General, has always been domineering because he has many soldiers and a wide range of generals. I intend to take advantage of his fire, at least half of his men, and then lead his troops away. This will create the illusion that the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan are in disarray and their hearts are in turmoil. The Yellow Turban army has many Han spies, so they will report this matter to Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao is cunning, he can't expect there is a fraud."
Liao Hua was confused and said, "If we lose half of General Che Riding's men, will the Yellow Turban Army's strength be greatly lost? Wouldn't the hope of defeating the Han army be even slimmer?"
Ma Yue did not think so and said, "He Yi's troops are all a bunch of rabble, although they are numerous, their fighting ability is very poor. They are not good enough to fight, but their strength is very poor. It can be said that the success is not enough, but the failure is more than enough. Cao Cao is very cunning, if not, it would be difficult to trick him."
Liao Hua pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "So be it."
Ma Yue laughed coldly in his heart, knowing that Liao Hua and others would agree, after all, more dead people were He Yi's men, not theirs.
Bu Xi then asked: if Cao Cao believed, and what to do.
Ma Yue said: "When Cao Cao hears this news, he will definitely take the opportunity to attack with his army. The Han army is brave, if they keep defending, the city will definitely not be able to hold. The Han army will besiege the city by three but not one. Because of the 50 miles south of Changshe, there is Ying water, I expect Cao Cao will leave the south gate to retreat with our army, and then ambush the troops on the road and chase them to wipe out the remnants of Yellow Turbans near the crossing of Wanma.
Liao Hua jumped to his feet and said, "No, the last general should go to the crossing of Wanma and send more soldiers to guard it, so that the Han army will not take the crossing and kill the way of retreat."
"No need!" Ma Yue said coldly. "If our army cannot defeat the Han army on the north bank of Ying Shui, even if we can escape across Ying Shui. If our army can defeat the Han army on the north bank of Ying Shui, then there is no need to cross Ying Shui and flee south! In a word, whether our army can defeat the Han army and hold the Ying River all depends on the battle of Ying Shui!"
Liao Hua said in a gruff voice, "Hmm? What does the great general mean ......"
Ma Yue's eyes swept through a cold killing machine and said, "It's very simple, first use He Yi's army to consume Han's strength, when Han's army is caught in the battle group and can hardly pull themselves out, 800 stragglers will suddenly kill and cover up from behind, Han's army will surely collapse without fighting, Cao Cao and Liu Bei will be broken in one move, then Yingchuan can be fixed!"
Liao Hua looked awe-inspiring and said, "I understand, the general wants to exchange the death and blood of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers with He Yi for a chance, a chance to defeat the Han army!"
Ma Yue said coldly, "That's exactly it!"
Liao Hua's heart was astonished, "Butcher! What a cold-blooded butcher! Thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers' lives are just chips that can be used in Ma Yue's heart.
Bu Xi frowned and said: after all this, the general has not said how we should help you kill Cao Cao and Liu Bei? As if the battle of Ying Shui, there are no four of us Yingchuan soldiers what happened, right? "
Ma Yue smiled coldly and said, "That's right, the battle of Ying Shui has nothing to do with you.
Liao Hua said, "Take back Chang She and cut off the retreat of the Han army!"
Ma Yue said, "That's right, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are the world's lords, they may not be able to win the battle at Ying Shui, and it is hard to guarantee that they will not be escaped. Therefore, to retake Chang She and cut off the retreat of the Han army, we need to rely on the four generals' Yingchuan soldiers."
When they heard that they could seize the grain and provisions of the Han army, Bian Xi and others were already eager to respond, "The last general and others dared not obey the order!"
Ma Yue said coldly, "The four generals can secretly dig a pit in the city of Changshe. You can declare to the soldiers that you are digging the soil to repair the city walls, so that the spies in the army will not be suspicious! After the tunnel is dug, when the city is broken, lead the troops to secretly sneak in the tunnel. After Cao Cao's army leaves the city, you can kill them in one fell swoop, retake the city, and seize the Han army's grain and provisions."
Bu Xi and Peng Tuo were so happy that they scratched their ears and said, "This is a very good plan of the general, it should be so. "
Ma Yue added: "After capturing the city, the four generals still need to send troops to intercept the Han army halfway, so that the Han army can't disappear easily, no matter how to delay until my army arrives."
Liao Hua said angrily, "Please rest assured, as long as Liao Hua still has a breath. I will never spare a single soldier of the Han army."
......
When Liao Hua was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a thief soldier screaming, "General, look, 800 stragglers!"
Liao Hua's heart trembled, 800 stragglers had destroyed the enemy in Ying Shui so quickly? They are really strong! He asked, "Where are the 800 stragglers?"
"To the southwest!"
Liao Hua turned back sharply and saw a large group of black cavalry rolling over like a tidal wave in the southwest direction, with a big blood-colored banner embroidered with the four big words "800 stragglers". In just a few moments, the 800 stragglers were already running close to the front, and a cold voice rang out, "Who is leading the army?"
Liao Hua hurriedly ran out. Seeing that it was Ma Yue, he shouted, "General, Liao Hua is here!"
Ma Yue spurred his horse forward and asked Liao Hua, "Liao Hua, where is the Han army? Where is Cao Cao?"
Liao Hua pointed his hand back to the northeast and replied, "Heading northeast."
"How many hours have they gone?"
"Cao Cao's army has passed three hours. Xiahou Yuan's army has just been defeated not long ago."
"Defeated?"
Although the Yingchuan soldiers were better equipped, they were still a rabble, so naturally they could not stop the Han army, which was expected by Ma Yue. What he was concerned about was whether Changshe had been recaptured. If Changshe had not been recaptured and Cao Cao led his army back to Changshe to defend the city, it would have been a lost cause.
"Have you recaptured Changshe?"
Liao Hua said, "I have already recaptured it."
Ma Yue breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Changshe was retaken, the Han army had lost their provisions. Even if Liao Hua and others could not cut off their retreat, the Han army could not escape the fate of eventual annihilation. Cao Cao, no matter how powerful he was, could not make several thousand Han troops under his command return to Chenliu without eating or drinking, running several hundred miles overnight.
"Chase~~"
Ma Yue gave a wave of his hand and led the light cavalry to sweep away.
Looking at the eight hundred stragglers whistling away, Liao Hua face suddenly floated a trace of guilt, no matter how cold-blooded Ma Yue, how cruel, but he at least fulfilled his promise. At least he was a man of his word, at least he helped the Yingchuan soldiers defeat the Han army. But what did the Yingchuan soldiers do? Thinking about the performance just now, Liao Hua could not help but sweat.
"Brothers, all give me to cheer up, don't all wilt like three days without a full meal, look at the eight hundred stragglers brothers, all are good. We Yingchuan soldiers are just like them, we are all born by our fathers and raised by our mothers, so why are we inferior to them?" Liao Hua took a breath, jumped onto a big stone, raised his arm and shouted, "If you are a man, go with me and fight with the Han army again."
......
Ma Yue led 800 bandits to the northeast to chase less than 20 miles, suddenly saw a group of Yingchuan soldiers ahead of them, numbering more than 2,000 people, and the first one was fleeing fast, and it was Sun Zhong. Behind the Yingchuan soldiers, there was a Han army following after them, but there were only four or five hundred of them.
Ma Yue's eyebrows knitted tightly, these Yingchuan soldiers are really useless ah, more than two thousand people's army was actually killed by four or five hundred people's Han army, really wasted Ma Yue's gift of fine equipment ah. The light armor, long bow, spear, wooden shield, steel sword, which were supposed to be killing weapons, were no different from two sharpened wooden sticks in the hands of Yingchuan soldiers.
Guo Tu took a step forward and reminded Ma Yue, "Chief, this is only a partial division, not the main force."
Ma Yue nodded his head stolidly and said in a deep voice, "Pass the order, the whole army will go around and continue to advance north."
......
Le Jin was waving his division to kill the remnants of the Yellow Turban when he suddenly saw a large group of cavalry sweeping in from the south with great momentum. He shouted in a panic: "The whole army stop chasing! Stop chasing~~"
"Formation, immediately form up, prepare to meet the attack ~ ~"
Le Jin gave a command. The Han army slowly stopped and started to form up.
However, to Le Jin's surprise, the cavalry did not take advantage of the fact that the Han army had not yet formed a defensive formation to charge, but bypassed the Han army's scattered formation and swept through the wilderness like locusts, soon disappearing into the dimly lit horizon.
While Le Jin was wondering, he saw another Han army coming from the south like a tidal wave and collided head-on with Sun Zhong's Yingchuan soldiers. After a brief encounter, the Yingchuan soldiers quickly collapsed and scattered into numerous small groups, running towards the wilderness on both sides. The Han army did not pursue the Yingchuan soldiers after they were defeated and continued to advance northward.
"General Xiahou!"
Le Jin was surprised.
"Wen Qian?" Xiahou Yuan asked loudly, "Is the Lord in charge?"
Le Jin answered, "The Lord in General Xiahou, General Cao Ren and General Li Dian ground escort first withdrew north, the last general rate of 500 elite soldiers left behind to break the back."
"Have you seen the light cavalry of the stragglers?"
"Has gone to the north."
Xiahou Yuan's face changed, said urgently: "The matter is urgent, Wenqian can rate the headquarters of the elite troops. Follow me to rescue."
Le Jin said urgently: "General wait."
Xiahou Yuan said: "Well?"
Le Jin said: "General, the invaders are light cavalry, moving like the wind, swift as lightning, we are foot soldiers, too late to chase, the only plan today is to take a risk. Back to the division to take the wisdom of the Chang She, the bandits are not prepared, or can be achieved."
Xiahou Yuan's expression moved, said in a gruff voice: "Wen Qian means to attack the Chang She by surprise?"
Le Jin said, "Exactly."
Xiahou Yuan said, "Our army lost all the provisions, lack of siege equipment, how to take the city?"
Le Jin said, "We can disguise the defeated soldiers to defraud the city!"
Xiahou Yuan said: "If we can capture the Chang She, retrieve the provisions, the Lord's army can slowly retreat into the city to hold, no longer fear Ma Yue 800 bandits carry on, waiting for Yanzhou reinforcements to come, 800 bandits can be broken. The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the website. I'd like to say that I'm going to go to Changshe."
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services.
......
The moon was clear and the stars were sparse, and the wilderness was silent.
"Wooooo~~"
Under the dark sky, the eerie sound of trumpets sounded again.
Xiahou Dun galloped his horse to Cao Cao's front and said in a deep voice, "Mengde, those damned bastards are catching up again!"
Cao Cao exhaled with his hand on his forehead and said, "These rogue pirates really have a dark soul."
"No!"
Chen Gong beside Cao Cao suddenly spoke coldly and quietly.
Cao Cao asked, "Gongtai, what's wrong?"
Chen Gong said, "The sound of the horn clearly started from the north. The roving bandits have been following the pursuit, but why did they go around to the front this time? So odd."
Cheng Yu thought for a moment. He suddenly lost his color and said, "Lord, it's not good, I think Ma Yue has already led the main force of the 800 stragglers to catch up!"
Cao Cao was shocked and lost his voice: "How can Zhong De be so sure?"
Cheng Yu said, "As Gongtai said, the roving bandits have been following and attacking, trying to slow down our army's march, but they were detected by the lord and never succeeded. This time, they suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared in front of us, but they must have received Ma Yue's order to change their strategy of following and harassing and to stop our army at all costs! Does this not prove that the main force of Ma Yue's bandits is already close at hand?"
Cao Cao sucked in a breath of cold air and said with astonishment, "The 800 stragglers are catching up so quickly, what should we do?"
Chen Gong said, "Lord, don't worry, not far ahead is Zhang Zhuang, Zhang Zhuang and Gong are old acquaintances, and Zhang Zhuang has a fortress and many strong men, so it can be defended, why don't we go to Zhang Zhuang to avoid the 800 stragglers for a while?"
"Oooooo~~"
"Wooooooo~~"
"Wooooooooo~~"
Chen Gong's voice fell, and there is a long and long horn sound from the south, east and west at the same time, and the north of the horn sound echoes each other, cold and dark night sky, there is a sullen murderous atmosphere with the sullen horn sound endlessly diffuse. Suddenly, there is a faint thunder from the sky slowly sounded, gradually tends to gradually loud, and gradually flooded into a rumbling sound that covers the sky, as if there are thousands of troops are from all directions to cover the kill.
Without more than a thousand horsemen cavalry can not have this sound.
"All troops stop advancing~~"
"Formation, just the formation ~ ~"
"Circular defense formation, prepare to meet the enemy~~"
Xiahou Dun harshly hissed through the long sky, long exhausted Han army soldiers have stopped advancing, in the officer under the bellowing began to form up nervously.
"Don't go away Cao Cao~~"
"Capture Cao Cao alive~~"
"If you capture Cao Cao alive, there will be a heavy reward for the big chief!"
The sound of horses' hooves suddenly and strangely stopped and was replaced by shouting and shouting, which distracted Cao Cao.
Kill! "
Xiahou Yuan shouted, heavy long knife in the air cut a strange arc, splitting the cold air, diagonally cut Liao Hua right shoulder, Liao Hua is not afraid, struggling to swing a knife, hard to knock Xiahou Yuan chopping the long knife, burning hot battle intent from his eyes burning.
"Bam~"
The violent sound of gold and iron shattered Liao Hua's eardrums, Liao Hua felt a buzzing in his ears, and could not hear any more sound, the strong and unparalleled power through the steel knife tidal wave rolled back, shaking his arms sore and numb, as if there was a huge mountain of a thousand pounds pressed on Liao Hua in a moment, making him unable to support, hard to breathe.
"Poof~"
Liao Hua could no longer support such fierce pressure, his legs bent and fell to the dust, his knees wrapped in iron armor chiseled heavily into the cold mud, more than a foot deep.
"Go to hell~~"
Xiahou Yuan's hand long knife raised again, the eyes of the fierce awning, the head issued a wolf howl unlike human, the ice cold long knife again chopped down.
"General be careful~~"
Seeing Liao Hua like dumb, kneeling on the, ignoring the head chopping the long knife, a soldier's eyebrows hideous, shouted kneeling lunged, actually with their own not strong body to block in front of Liao Hua, at the same time will hold the spear viciously poked at Xiahou Yuan crotch mount.
"Poof~"
The cold cold awning swept down, sharp and matchless cut into the body of the pro-trooper, straight through the heavy crotch, but the pro-trooper dying spear also stabbed Xiahou Yuan's mount, the mount head issued a hiss of sorrow, throwing open four hooves wildly up. Instantly carried Xiahou Yuan sped off into the distance.
"Poof~~"
A strand of crimson blood suddenly seeped up from the forehead of the soldier, the soldier's fierce bright eyes instantly dulled, the breath of life passed from his body like a firework fading. When Liao Hua finally woke up from his brief confusion, he saw the soldier's not so strong body split into two valves and fell down, splashing hot blood splashed all over Liao Hua's head and face.
"Erguzi~~"
Liao Hua howled mournfully, fell to his knees in a pool of blood, dragged the two valves of the body of his relative desperately trying to put together, but how can not be put together. After a heart-breaking howl, Liao Hua raised his bloody face, his eyes showed a wild beast-like sink. He carried his steel sword backwards to meet the strict Han army formation, and hissed harshly throughout the battlefield.
"Xiahou Yuan, dog thief, return my brother's life~~"
"Kill~"
Behind Liao Hua, more than 2,000 Yellow Turban soldiers swarmed like a shadow.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
More than a thousand Han soldiers formed a neat square formation, stepping neatly and shouting neatly as they rolled forward, colliding head-on with the swarming Yellow Turban soldiers, just like a reef hitting a raging wave, splashing up water droplets in the sky in an instant, amidst the tragic sound of gold and gongs. The reef is still, but the raging waves have been split into pieces.
"Abet~~"
The icy cold killing machine came face to face, several sharp spears like vipers stabbed straight into Liao Hua's chest, the spear blade flickering cold flame like the cold eyes of a viper. Liao Hua was shocked, and the tide of tyranny receded from his eyes like wild water. In front of him, there was one flickering spear blade after another, and in an instant, dozens or hundreds of Yellow Turban soldiers were pierced by the cold spears.
"Ee~~Yah!"
A loud cry from the right, Liao Hua turned his head, a dazzling cold mane has swept the air to stab.
"Xiahou Yuan!
Liao Hua howled wildly, hastily raised his sword to protect his chest, ear-splitting whistle cut through the void, Xiahou Yuan's spear thrown across the air had already viciously hit the surface of Liao Hua's steel sword, the violent sound of iron and gold, the fierce recoil backwards like a tidal wave. Liao Hua the whole person arrow backwards and fly back, where passed, the yellow turban bandits like waves split, the formation of chaos.
"Retreat~ Retreat~~"
In fact, he did not even need to order the Yellow Turban bandits to retreat, or rather, they had already started to collapse, and the Yellow Turban bandits swarmed in chaos to roll back at a faster speed. The mountains were filled with wilderness and fled.
"Stop chasing~~"
Xiahou Yuan strangled his horse and raised his sword, giving an order. Han soldiers have to stop their footsteps.
Although the Yellow Turban bandits have more than two thousand people, all wearing cloth armor, and even archers, spear soldiers, its fine equipment let Xia Houyuan feel incredible and red, but they are only some bandits, and well-trained Han army can not be the same day! Han army just a charge, broke down the thieves' defense line, the situation became a one-sided chase.
If in normal times, Xiahou Yuan will never let go of the opportunity to chase, chase to the ends of the earth to kill the bandits, but today, but not the time, to cover the Lord's army retreat task has been completed, Ma Yue light cavalry may catch up at any time, or early withdrawal is better.
"The whole army retreat ~ ~"
Xiahou Yuan gave another order, the Han army quickly retreated, and after a few moments, they withdrew cleanly from the view of the yellow turban bandits who were fleeing.
Liao Hua breathed a long sigh of relief and sat on his buttocks on the grass, recalling the thrill of the vicious fight with Xia Houyuan, and felt the palpitations of his heart at this time. The power of that knife, so that Liao Hua will never forget this life, if you can choose, he would never want to meet this devil again in the battlefield.
"General, should we continue the pursuit?"
A small chief asked Liao Hua.
"No need, let's go back to Changsha."
Liao Hua faintly returned a sentence, abruptly looked back at the north, the fate of the Han army has been destined to be annihilated! Xiahou Yuan, even if you can break through me Liao Hua, but can you pass Ma Yue Ma Tu Fu? Xiahou Yuan, the devil, eight hundred stragglers, tigers and wolves, let them fight to the death, it is best to fight a defeat!
Suddenly, one day a scene in the mind of Liao Hua clearly floated.
......
A few days ago, Ma Yue's camp.
Liao Hua, Peng Tuo, Bian Xi, Sun Zhong four people entered through the fish, only to see Ma Yue look cold. Kneeling alone on top of the main seat, always in the shadow of the thin man (Guo Tu) shadow of a person without, fierce and fierce Xu Chu, Dian Wei is also not around. The wavering candle flame. Only the cold shadow and horse butcher company.
Please sit down.
Ma Yue Su hand let sit.
"Thank you, Great General."
Liao Hua four people thanked and sat on the left and right seats.
Ma Yue's eyes swept through a trace of coldness and said in a deep voice: "Four generals, Ma Yue asked politely, do you really think that Zhang Liang and He Yi's rabble can defeat the elite army of the Great Han Empire? Do you really think that you can hold Yingchuan and take over the side with a few tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans?"
Liao Hua frowned and said, "Whether we can defeat the Han army or hold the Yingchuan River, we have to try it to know the result."
Bu Xi said coldly: "If you want to convince the general to give up Yingchuan, you don't have to do so. "
Ma Yue kindly, Liao Hua, Bian Xi and other people's reaction was completely expected. The world is bustling, all for profit. The world is bustling, all for profit! People are always selfish and will always put their own interests first, so is Zhang Liang, so is He Yi, so is Liao Hua and the others, so is Ma Yue.
Except for life and death brothers, who would put others' interests above their own?
In the matter of whether to give up Yingchuan, it does not matter who is right and who is wrong, who is right and who is wrong, and Ma Yue does not have the slightest intention of resentment or hatred, no one can force others to sacrifice their own interests to protect the interests of others. But. This does not mean that Ma Yue can not use Liao Hua them to achieve their own purposes.
People have selfishness and self-interest to have greed, and with greed, they will be used, as it has been in the past.
"Four generals, how about we make a deal?"
Ma Yue smiled lightly and threw out a poisonous bait. Ma Yue believed. Liao Hua four people is categorically can not refuse this deal, because in this deal, Liao Hua they can get everything they want! Not only could they defeat the Han army and achieve the ideal of holding Yingchuan, but more importantly, they could also obtain the fine equipment they had dreamed of.
"What is the deal?"
Liao Hua and Bian Xi asked almost at the same time.
Ma Yue said, "You help me kill two people, and I help you defeat the Han army."
Liao Hua's face changed and he said in a gruff voice, "Who do you want to kill? General Tian and He Yi?"
Ma Yue's heart flinched and he said indifferently, "General Bian Xi need not be excited. The people I want to kill are not General Tian and He Yi, but Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the main generals of the Han army."
Ma Yue was telling the truth, when he learned that the main generals of the Han army were Cao Cao and Liu Bei, he immediately changed his mind. If there was a chance, Ma Yue really wanted to kill Cao Cao and Liu Bei! The reason is very simple, the chaotic world at the end of Han Dynasty without Cao Cao and Liu Bei may be even more chaotic and worse, but Ma Yue believed that he could definitely live longer and more comfortable.
People are not for themselves, the destruction of heaven, as modern people. Ma Yue would not be so stupid as to choose Cao Cao and Liu Bei as the ultimate opponent? If there is a chance to kill Cao Cao and Liu Bei before their wings are full, can Ma Yue not be moved? Don't say things like "there is no opponent. The end of Han Dynasty is not a river or lake, and life is not a child's play.
Liao Hua frowned and said, "Does General Cao Cao and Liu Bei have an enemy in the past?"
Ma Yue kindly said, "It's not bad to say so."
Bu Xi said, "Yesterday, the general wanted to lead his troops to leave, but today he said he would help us defeat the Han army. "
Ma Yue said in a deep voice: "In order to show my sincerity, I would like to take out all the weapons and armors in my treasury and distribute them to the four generals' Yingchuan soldiers, how about it?"
Liao Hua was overjoyed, "Is that true, General?"
Peng Tuo, Bian Xi and Sun Zhong were also surprised. If Ma Yue was really willing to take out the weapons and armors from the treasury and give them to them, the Yingchuan soldiers of the four generals would immediately change from a rabble to an elite division! Even the general Han army county soldiers are not as well equipped as they are.
Ma Yue said solemnly, "Really!"
Bu Xi four people together in a corner of the tent, quickly exchanged views, and finally by Liao Hua to Ma Yue said: "General. I am willing to cooperate with you, but I am at your mercy!"
A cold smile emerged from the corner of Ma Yue's mouth, he had known that Liao Hua and the four would agree to cooperate.
"In that case. Now agree on the strategy to defeat the Han army." Ma Yue looked cold again and said in a deep voice, "The Han army is an elite division, experienced in a hundred battles, well-equipped, and the main general Cao Cao and Liu Bei are all shrunken generals in the sands, with a wealth of experience in battle, there is no hope of winning a head-to-head battle! Even if we have 800 stragglers joining us, we will still lose but not win. If we want to break Cao Cao and Liu Bei's Han army, we must come up with a strange strategy."
Liao Hua asked, "I don't know what strange strategy the general has to break the Han army?"
Ma Yue said, "Cao Cao and Liu Bei are all cunning and wise people. If it's just a normal strategy, it's hard to make them fall for it, but only a real one can work."
Liao Hua asked, "How to make it real?"
Ma Yue said, "He Yi, the Che Cavalry General, has always been domineering because he has many soldiers and a wide range of generals. I intend to take advantage of his fire, at least half of his men, and then lead his troops away. This will create the illusion that the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan are in disarray and their hearts are in turmoil. The Yellow Turban army has many Han spies, so they will report this matter to Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao is cunning, he can't expect there is a fraud."
Liao Hua was confused and said, "If we lose half of General Che Riding's men, will the Yellow Turban Army's strength be greatly lost? Wouldn't the hope of defeating the Han army be even slimmer?"
Ma Yue did not think so and said, "He Yi's troops are all a bunch of rabble, although they are numerous, their fighting ability is very poor. They are not good enough to fight, but their strength is very poor. It can be said that the success is not enough, but the failure is more than enough. Cao Cao is very cunning, if not, it would be difficult to trick him."
Liao Hua pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "So be it."
Ma Yue laughed coldly in his heart, knowing that Liao Hua and others would agree, after all, more dead people were He Yi's men, not theirs.
Bu Xi then asked: if Cao Cao believed, and what to do.
Ma Yue said: "When Cao Cao hears this news, he will definitely take the opportunity to attack with his army. The Han army is brave, if they keep defending, the city will definitely not be able to hold. The Han army will besiege the city by three but not one. Because of the 50 miles south of Changshe, there is Ying water, I expect Cao Cao will leave the south gate to retreat with our army, and then ambush the troops on the road and chase them to wipe out the remnants of Yellow Turbans near the crossing of Wanma.
Liao Hua jumped to his feet and said, "No, the last general should go to the crossing of Wanma and send more soldiers to guard it, so that the Han army will not take the crossing and kill the way of retreat."
"No need!" Ma Yue said coldly. "If our army cannot defeat the Han army on the north bank of Ying Shui, even if we can escape across Ying Shui. If our army can defeat the Han army on the north bank of Ying Shui, then there is no need to cross Ying Shui and flee south! In a word, whether our army can defeat the Han army and hold the Ying River all depends on the battle of Ying Shui!"
Liao Hua said in a gruff voice, "Hmm? What does the great general mean ......"
Ma Yue's eyes swept through a cold killing machine and said, "It's very simple, first use He Yi's army to consume Han's strength, when Han's army is caught in the battle group and can hardly pull themselves out, 800 stragglers will suddenly kill and cover up from behind, Han's army will surely collapse without fighting, Cao Cao and Liu Bei will be broken in one move, then Yingchuan can be fixed!"
Liao Hua looked awe-inspiring and said, "I understand, the general wants to exchange the death and blood of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers with He Yi for a chance, a chance to defeat the Han army!"
Ma Yue said coldly, "That's exactly it!"
Liao Hua's heart was astonished, "Butcher! What a cold-blooded butcher! Thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers' lives are just chips that can be used in Ma Yue's heart.
Bu Xi frowned and said: after all this, the general has not said how we should help you kill Cao Cao and Liu Bei? As if the battle of Ying Shui, there are no four of us Yingchuan soldiers what happened, right? "
Ma Yue smiled coldly and said, "That's right, the battle of Ying Shui has nothing to do with you.
Liao Hua said, "Take back Chang She and cut off the retreat of the Han army!"
Ma Yue said, "That's right, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are the world's lords, they may not be able to win the battle at Ying Shui, and it is hard to guarantee that they will not be escaped. Therefore, to retake Chang She and cut off the retreat of the Han army, we need to rely on the four generals' Yingchuan soldiers."
When they heard that they could seize the grain and provisions of the Han army, Bian Xi and others were already eager to respond, "The last general and others dared not obey the order!"
Ma Yue said coldly, "The four generals can secretly dig a pit in the city of Changshe. You can declare to the soldiers that you are digging the soil to repair the city walls, so that the spies in the army will not be suspicious! After the tunnel is dug, when the city is broken, lead the troops to secretly sneak in the tunnel. After Cao Cao's army leaves the city, you can kill them in one fell swoop, retake the city, and seize the Han army's grain and provisions."
Bu Xi and Peng Tuo were so happy that they scratched their ears and said, "This is a very good plan of the general, it should be so. "
Ma Yue added: "After capturing the city, the four generals still need to send troops to intercept the Han army halfway, so that the Han army can't disappear easily, no matter how to delay until my army arrives."
Liao Hua said angrily, "Please rest assured, as long as Liao Hua still has a breath. I will never spare a single soldier of the Han army."
......
When Liao Hua was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a thief soldier screaming, "General, look, 800 stragglers!"
Liao Hua's heart trembled, 800 stragglers had destroyed the enemy in Ying Shui so quickly? They are really strong! He asked, "Where are the 800 stragglers?"
"To the southwest!"
Liao Hua turned back sharply and saw a large group of black cavalry rolling over like a tidal wave in the southwest direction, with a big blood-colored banner embroidered with the four big words "800 stragglers". In just a few moments, the 800 stragglers were already running close to the front, and a cold voice rang out, "Who is leading the army?"
Liao Hua hurriedly ran out. Seeing that it was Ma Yue, he shouted, "General, Liao Hua is here!"
Ma Yue spurred his horse forward and asked Liao Hua, "Liao Hua, where is the Han army? Where is Cao Cao?"
Liao Hua pointed his hand back to the northeast and replied, "Heading northeast."
"How many hours have they gone?"
"Cao Cao's army has passed three hours. Xiahou Yuan's army has just been defeated not long ago."
"Defeated?"
Although the Yingchuan soldiers were better equipped, they were still a rabble, so naturally they could not stop the Han army, which was expected by Ma Yue. What he was concerned about was whether Changshe had been recaptured. If Changshe had not been recaptured and Cao Cao led his army back to Changshe to defend the city, it would have been a lost cause.
"Have you recaptured Changshe?"
Liao Hua said, "I have already recaptured it."
Ma Yue breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Changshe was retaken, the Han army had lost their provisions. Even if Liao Hua and others could not cut off their retreat, the Han army could not escape the fate of eventual annihilation. Cao Cao, no matter how powerful he was, could not make several thousand Han troops under his command return to Chenliu without eating or drinking, running several hundred miles overnight.
"Chase~~"
Ma Yue gave a wave of his hand and led the light cavalry to sweep away.
Looking at the eight hundred stragglers whistling away, Liao Hua face suddenly floated a trace of guilt, no matter how cold-blooded Ma Yue, how cruel, but he at least fulfilled his promise. At least he was a man of his word, at least he helped the Yingchuan soldiers defeat the Han army. But what did the Yingchuan soldiers do? Thinking about the performance just now, Liao Hua could not help but sweat.
"Brothers, all give me to cheer up, don't all wilt like three days without a full meal, look at the eight hundred stragglers brothers, all are good. We Yingchuan soldiers are just like them, we are all born by our fathers and raised by our mothers, so why are we inferior to them?" Liao Hua took a breath, jumped onto a big stone, raised his arm and shouted, "If you are a man, go with me and fight with the Han army again."
......
Ma Yue led 800 bandits to the northeast to chase less than 20 miles, suddenly saw a group of Yingchuan soldiers ahead of them, numbering more than 2,000 people, and the first one was fleeing fast, and it was Sun Zhong. Behind the Yingchuan soldiers, there was a Han army following after them, but there were only four or five hundred of them.
Ma Yue's eyebrows knitted tightly, these Yingchuan soldiers are really useless ah, more than two thousand people's army was actually killed by four or five hundred people's Han army, really wasted Ma Yue's gift of fine equipment ah. The light armor, long bow, spear, wooden shield, steel sword, which were supposed to be killing weapons, were no different from two sharpened wooden sticks in the hands of Yingchuan soldiers.
Guo Tu took a step forward and reminded Ma Yue, "Chief, this is only a partial division, not the main force."
Ma Yue nodded his head stolidly and said in a deep voice, "Pass the order, the whole army will go around and continue to advance north."
......
Le Jin was waving his division to kill the remnants of the Yellow Turban when he suddenly saw a large group of cavalry sweeping in from the south with great momentum. He shouted in a panic: "The whole army stop chasing! Stop chasing~~"
"Formation, immediately form up, prepare to meet the attack ~ ~"
Le Jin gave a command. The Han army slowly stopped and started to form up.
However, to Le Jin's surprise, the cavalry did not take advantage of the fact that the Han army had not yet formed a defensive formation to charge, but bypassed the Han army's scattered formation and swept through the wilderness like locusts, soon disappearing into the dimly lit horizon.
While Le Jin was wondering, he saw another Han army coming from the south like a tidal wave and collided head-on with Sun Zhong's Yingchuan soldiers. After a brief encounter, the Yingchuan soldiers quickly collapsed and scattered into numerous small groups, running towards the wilderness on both sides. The Han army did not pursue the Yingchuan soldiers after they were defeated and continued to advance northward.
"General Xiahou!"
Le Jin was surprised.
"Wen Qian?" Xiahou Yuan asked loudly, "Is the Lord in charge?"
Le Jin answered, "The Lord in General Xiahou, General Cao Ren and General Li Dian ground escort first withdrew north, the last general rate of 500 elite soldiers left behind to break the back."
"Have you seen the light cavalry of the stragglers?"
"Has gone to the north."
Xiahou Yuan's face changed, said urgently: "The matter is urgent, Wenqian can rate the headquarters of the elite troops. Follow me to rescue."
Le Jin said urgently: "General wait."
Xiahou Yuan said: "Well?"
Le Jin said: "General, the invaders are light cavalry, moving like the wind, swift as lightning, we are foot soldiers, too late to chase, the only plan today is to take a risk. Back to the division to take the wisdom of the Chang She, the bandits are not prepared, or can be achieved."
Xiahou Yuan's expression moved, said in a gruff voice: "Wen Qian means to attack the Chang She by surprise?"
Le Jin said, "Exactly."
Xiahou Yuan said, "Our army lost all the provisions, lack of siege equipment, how to take the city?"
Le Jin said, "We can disguise the defeated soldiers to defraud the city!"
Xiahou Yuan said: "If we can capture the Chang She, retrieve the provisions, the Lord's army can slowly retreat into the city to hold, no longer fear Ma Yue 800 bandits carry on, waiting for Yanzhou reinforcements to come, 800 bandits can be broken. The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the website. I'd like to say that I'm going to go to Changshe."
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services.
......
The moon was clear and the stars were sparse, and the wilderness was silent.
"Wooooo~~"
Under the dark sky, the eerie sound of trumpets sounded again.
Xiahou Dun galloped his horse to Cao Cao's front and said in a deep voice, "Mengde, those damned bastards are catching up again!"
Cao Cao exhaled with his hand on his forehead and said, "These rogue pirates really have a dark soul."
"No!"
Chen Gong beside Cao Cao suddenly spoke coldly and quietly.
Cao Cao asked, "Gongtai, what's wrong?"
Chen Gong said, "The sound of the horn clearly started from the north. The roving bandits have been following the pursuit, but why did they go around to the front this time? So odd."
Cheng Yu thought for a moment. He suddenly lost his color and said, "Lord, it's not good, I think Ma Yue has already led the main force of the 800 stragglers to catch up!"
Cao Cao was shocked and lost his voice: "How can Zhong De be so sure?"
Cheng Yu said, "As Gongtai said, the roving bandits have been following and attacking, trying to slow down our army's march, but they were detected by the lord and never succeeded. This time, they suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared in front of us, but they must have received Ma Yue's order to change their strategy of following and harassing and to stop our army at all costs! Does this not prove that the main force of Ma Yue's bandits is already close at hand?"
Cao Cao sucked in a breath of cold air and said with astonishment, "The 800 stragglers are catching up so quickly, what should we do?"
Chen Gong said, "Lord, don't worry, not far ahead is Zhang Zhuang, Zhang Zhuang and Gong are old acquaintances, and Zhang Zhuang has a fortress and many strong men, so it can be defended, why don't we go to Zhang Zhuang to avoid the 800 stragglers for a while?"
"Oooooo~~"
"Wooooooo~~"
"Wooooooooo~~"
Chen Gong's voice fell, and there is a long and long horn sound from the south, east and west at the same time, and the north of the horn sound echoes each other, cold and dark night sky, there is a sullen murderous atmosphere with the sullen horn sound endlessly diffuse. Suddenly, there is a faint thunder from the sky slowly sounded, gradually tends to gradually loud, and gradually flooded into a rumbling sound that covers the sky, as if there are thousands of troops are from all directions to cover the kill.
Without more than a thousand horsemen cavalry can not have this sound.
"All troops stop advancing~~"
"Formation, just the formation ~ ~"
"Circular defense formation, prepare to meet the enemy~~"
Xiahou Dun harshly hissed through the long sky, long exhausted Han army soldiers have stopped advancing, in the officer under the bellowing began to form up nervously.
"Don't go away Cao Cao~~"
"Capture Cao Cao alive~~"
"If you capture Cao Cao alive, there will be a heavy reward for the big chief!"
The sound of horses' hooves suddenly and strangely stopped and was replaced by shouting and shouting, which distracted Cao Cao.
