Chapter 372

Hearing Lu Xun's praise of Bao Bao, Chen Yang could not help but smile, but then his face was sad. Although he has successfully opened up the distance from the pursuit of soldiers, Chen Yang's heart again appears a little uneasy. The last time they felt this way, they were intercepted by the trapped camp, but this time they didn't know what would happen again. But Chen Yang is deeply convinced of his own feelings, because Chen Yang's bad father once said that a war general sometimes just needs to believe his own feelings, which will save his life.

"Bo Yan! Did the Scouts of this morning have any news? " Chen Yang turns to ask Lu Xun.

Lu Xun didn't expect Chen Yanghui to suddenly ask this question. He was stunned at first, but then he shook his head and said, "it's not so fast. At this time, those pursuers should be hundreds of miles away from us. The scouts were only sent out an hour ago, and there are no special circumstances. These scouts will never come back in advance. "

"Oh Chen Yang saved himself, nodded, and then lowered his head to think about something. Lu Xun looks at Chen Yang strangely, but he can't guess what he is thinking. He has no choice but to give up.

As the soldiers were not affected by the night's journey, and it was day time again, the speed of the Xuzhou regiment was still very fast. In a twinkling of an eye, at noon, the Xuzhou Legion had made a full journey of 200 Li. If we went on at this speed, we might be able to reach the hilly areas east of the plain before dark today!

"Brothers! step on it! When we get to the hills ahead, we can rest! " Sun Yi pointed to the hill in front of him and called out to the soldiers behind him. After all, these soldiers were not iron clad. They didn't sleep all night. Moreover, they marched at a very fast speed for most of the day. No matter how good their strength was, they were consumed.

"Woo!"

Sun Yixun and sun Yijun can't hear the bugle from the front, but they can't hear the sound of the horn. As a qualified soldier, they can recognize the meaning of the horn, which means that someone is putting in a good position. However, in Qingzhou, there is no military garrison in the territory of Qingzhou, except for the twenty year old Xuzhou army. There is no possibility that the Dongwu army is near here. Since it is not the Dongwu army, there is only one possibility. It is the enemy!

"Line up! Line up Sun Yi quickly ordered the Xuzhou regiment to line up and organize the army to prepare for the sudden appearance of the enemy.

"Elder martial brother! What's going on? " Chen Yang's voice came from behind Sun Yi, but Chen Yang and Lu Xun rode up from behind, but then stopped behind Sun Yi, because they had seen the source of the horn like Sun Yi.

Just ahead, at the edge of the plain, the black armor army was forming its position there. If you look carefully, there are cavalry, infantry, swordsmen and archers in this army. There are about 50000 people in this army. In the middle of the army, two flags were erected. The larger one was a black flag with the word "Cao", while the other one was marked with the word "Xiahou".

"Summer Marquis? It's not XiahouDun, is it Lu Xun was shocked when he saw the word "Xiahou". XiahouDun was the first general of the Northern Wei Dynasty. His status in the Northern Wei Dynasty was the same as Chen Ren's in the eastern Wu. The most important thing is that Xia Houdun's ability to lead troops to war is really powerful. Since Cao Cao started his army for more than 20 years, he has lost two wars. One was lost to the newly trained Jiangdong new army in Xuzhou, and the other lost to Xu Rong, the God of war in Xiliang in Bingzhou. It is not too much to be called an ever victorious general of the Northern Wei Dynasty. It can be said that Xia Houdun was absolutely indispensable to Cao Cao's success today!

Xia Houdun was obviously an old general on the battlefield and an old ruffian who used troops. If the army on the opposite side was led by Xia Houdun, he was afraid that Lu Xun would immediately advise Sun Yi to lead his troops to retreat. Thinking of this, Lu Xun subconsciously looked into the other side's camp and wanted to see whether the other side's chief general was Xia Houdun.

It was as if the other side had already known Lu Xun's idea. Before Lu Xun could see clearly the appearance of Cao's general, he raised a cry from the other side's camp: "I'm XiaHouYuan, the governor of Liangzhou! Come by the order of the king of Wei! The young general on the opposite side is not caught with his hands tied! "

It's XiaHouYuan! Lu Xun breathed a long sigh of relief. It was not because Lu Xun looked down on Xia Hou yuan, but compared with the danger of Xia Hou Dun, Xia Hou yuan was nothing. However, Lu Xun didn't have any idea to belittle Xia Houyuan. He immediately frowned and carefully watched the other side's military strength and military mix-up.

Sun Yi sneered: "only 50000 people dare to challenge our 200000 Xuzhou army! I want to see how many heads Xia Houyuan has grown in the end After that, he turned back and called out to the Xuzhou army that had already set up the formation: "brothers! Cheer up! Watch me behead the enemy general! Xuzhou cavalry! Follow me With that, Sun Yi, with one foot on both legs, rode his horse forward. In fact, Sun Yi is not stupid. He knows that the morale of the Xuzhou regiment has already broken down. Therefore, he hopes to take this opportunity to boost his morale.

With a wave of Sun Yi's spear, the remaining 25000 cavalry of Xuzhou followed Sun Yi's back and rushed to the Cao army in front of him. Lu Xun was shocked and tried to stop him in a hurry. But Chen Yang frowned and said, "don't worry! Elder martial brother is very skillful. There will be no problem! And now cavalry is the best choice! Cavalry is very flexible. If there is any change in the middle, they can retreat in time! But let's take the army with us, and we can support you at any time"Well!" Lu Xun nodded his head and waved to the army behind him. Then he took the remaining 150000 soldiers of Xuzhou army and started to march forward.

But at this time, Xia Houyuan in the opposite side was smiling and said: "it seems that they also understand that time can't be delayed any more. Do you want to have a quick decision with us? Interesting, I will not give you the wish! Bolen! According to the news from the previous detailed work, how long will it take for the Jizhou army to arrive? " Xia Hou yuan turned his head and asked his nephew.

Xia Hou Shang was looking at Chen Yang, who was still in the army. As soon as he heard Xia Houyuan's question, he turned around. His eyes were still fixed on Chen Yang, and he replied to Xia Houyuan: "uncle! According to the information from the detailed work, it will be about five hours before the army of Jizhou can arrive here! "

"For five hours, it seems that Wenlie has already lost his life." Xia Houyuan murmured to himself, then laughed and said to the left and right black armour soldiers, "disperse! The cavalry back to the wings! Swordsmen hold their shields to defend the front! Archers bend their bows and build arrows. As soon as the Dongwu army enters the range, shoot me! If we beat back this attack, you should all have officials! If you want money, you have money

It may be because of Xia Houyuan's last words that these Cao soldiers were all red eyes, staring at the Xuzhou cavalry who were rushing in front of them. At that time, the Xiliang army was a powerful army in the world. At that time, Dong Zhuo realized his hegemony step by step by relying on a powerful Xiliang army. If it was not for Dong Zhuo's indulgence in pleasure and the lack of discipline on the Xiliang army, the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang army would be lower and lower. I'm afraid that Dong Zhuo would not lose to all the princes of Guandong in the first battle before Sishui pass!

Under the leadership of Sun Yi, the speed of Xuzhou cavalry was very fast. The formation of Cao's army had just been arranged, and Xuzhou cavalry had already rushed up. However, the archers of the Xiliang army were not as sharp as those who first boarded the camp, but they were also second to none among the troops in various regions of the Northern Wei Dynasty. At the beginning, most of the first soldiers were from the Xiliang army. Among the 50000 Xiliang troops, there are 20000 archers in total, which is a very high proportion in the general army.

In this round of attack, 20000 arrows flew towards the Xuzhou cavalry, and thousands of them were shot in one shot. Sun Yi's eyes were red with the sight, and his throat was like a wild animal. Now in his mind, there are only two words, that is impact! Only when you rush in front of the other side, the archer of the other side can't play a role at all.

In a twinkling of an eye, the second round of arrows had also been shot. This time, the gap between the cavalry was enlarged, so the damage was much less than that in the first round. However, more than 1000 cavalry fell on the battlefield with hatred. However, he finally let Sun Yi and Xuzhou cavalry rush to the front of the enemy, and the archers of the Xiliang army stopped attacking.

However, this does not mean that Sun Yi won the victory. On the contrary, Chen Yang and Lu Xun in the rear were immediately shocked when they saw this situation. Chen Yang should even order the army to speed up and go to support. It's just because from behind, Sun Yi's attack is equivalent to breaking into the encirclement of Cao's army. As long as the cavalry on both sides of Cao's army is surrounded, Sun Yi's more than 20000 Xuzhou cavalry will be deeply trapped in the enemy's array. Now Sun Yi's cavalry and the enemy are fighting together. The archers of the Xuzhou regiment can't play a role either. They can only bring infantry to support them.

On the other side, Xia Houyuan, who was stationed behind the Cao army's array, looked cold and sneered: "do you want to support now? It's too late! Order! Flanking cavalry! Swordsmen and cavalry attack! I'm going to cut off a leg of this Xuzhou army When Xia Houyuan said this, his face showed a bit of ferocity, and Xia HOUSHANG, who once slaughtered his troops, was now surrounded by a very happy man.
