Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 1236: Xiahou Yuan withdraws troops

Through the firelight, Wu Dun saw an unfamiliar face. He was sure he had never met this person before.

"Who are you? General, I remember that there is no one like you among the cavalry captains." Wu Dun asked.

Xia Houyuan immediately replied: "General, my humble position is that I served with meritorious service on the battlefield of Xiapi, and was promoted to captain by General Zang Ba." He also did not expect that Wu Dun even knew a captain in the cavalry.

When the Han Dynasty was stable, a school lieutenant might be a big official position. However, with frequent wars and unclear Korean style, the value of a school lieutenant has become lower and lower. As long as there is some troops in hand, who will not give it

The generals under his command are given the title of general, which is also to win people's hearts.

"Hmph, that's nonsense. I, the general, know the cavalry generals under General Zang very well. If you were promoted to a captain for your merits in battle, the lowest you would have been is a team rate, but I have never seen a team rate like yours.

." Wu Dun shouted.

Xia Houyuan's expression changed slightly: "Please general, please open the city gate quickly. Cao Jun is coming soon. After I enter the city, I will explain the reason to the general."

As soon as he finished speaking, little fires lit up not far away, and the rumble of the cavalry charging was also heard on the city.

"General, these people are most likely the cavalry of General Zang Ba. Why don't you open the city gate and let them enter the city? Once Cao's army comes to kill them, they will be in danger." The gatekeeper general advised.

Wu Dun was struggling in his heart. After squinting at the cavalry outside the city for a long time, he shouted: "The cavalry outside the city obey the order and fight against Cao's army. I, the general, will lead my soldiers to support you."

The general guarding the gate had to admire Wu Dun's wit. If these cavalry were indeed his own troops, there would definitely be no mercy when fighting against Cao's army, and there were more than 300 cavalrymen.

One can imagine Xia Houyuan's mood at this time. After spending a lot of words, he did not earn the city gate. One can imagine his hatred for Wu Dun. If Wu Dun had not arrived just now, the city gate would have been opened at this time.

After Cao Jun chased after him outside the city, he was a little surprised to see that Xia Houyuan still did not lead his cavalry into the city.

Xia Houyuan knew that he had been discovered by the defenders outside the city, so he did not lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to fight. Judging from Wu Dun's performance, he was a very cautious general.

The pursuing Cao army did not fight as hard as the gatekeeper general expected. Our cavalry outside the city did not even make the slightest move after hearing the order. The cavalry from both sides actually met in one place.

Wu Dun sneered and said: "I wonder which general of Cao's army dared to lead the cavalry to raid the East China Sea and spread rumors outside the city." When he said this, Wu Dun secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he had just asked a few more questions, otherwise, Wu Dun sneered.

If so, the city gate may have been lost at this time. It is late at night, and there are not many defenders at the city gate. After the city gate is occupied, these cavalry have already entered the city without waiting for the defenders in the city to be mobilized.

, even if these cavalry could be driven out of the city, they would still have to pay a heavy price.

After receiving Wu Dun's hint, the gatekeeper general understood. At this time, the tiger and leopard cavalry outside the city were within the attack range of the thunderbolt chariot and bed crossbow. Since the other party dared to deceive the city gate, it might as well give them a painful lesson.

"I am Xia Houyuan, the general under Cao Gong. Now Xiapi City has been broken through by the army led by Cao Gong. If you open the city gate and surrender, you will avoid the disaster of swords and axes. If you resist stubbornly, you will only die.

." Xia Houyuan shouted, one can imagine his mood after Wu Dun saw through the plan.

Wu Dun asked: "If this general is willing to take refuge with Duke Cao, what kind of official position will he get?"

Xia Houyuan was overjoyed when he heard this. If he could seize the East China Sea without bloodshed and get the defenders in the city, it would be a great achievement. "Don't worry, your Excellency, I still have some status among Cao's army. If you are willing to surrender, you will be the governor of the East China Sea in the future."

Wu Dun fell silent after hearing this, seeming to be thinking.

At this moment, Xia Houyuan keenly heard the sound of creaking coming from the city. Although it was very weak, it shocked Xia Houyuan. From his previous combat experience, he could be protected from the city wall by just one arrow.

Hurt, just now I was thinking about how to persuade Wu Dun, but I ignored this aspect.

"Withdraw!" Xia Houyuan gave the order without hesitation.

Just when the cavalry had just turned their horses, huge rocks and crossbow arrows poured from the city. Unprepared, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry lost a lot of troops.

Even though the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were the elite cavalry in Cao's army, they did not have the strength to fight against giant rocks and bed crossbows.

Seeing this scene, the defenders on the city burst into loud shouts. The enemy troops outside the city failed to capture the city gate, which naturally made them more confident about what Xia Houyuan said about Cao's capture of Xiapi.

Zang Ba was well-known for his bravery in the military, so Hot Top had absolute confidence in Zang Ba.

Xia Houyuan gathered his cavalry and shouted: "Shameless man, after we break through the East China Sea in the future, I will definitely kill you!"

Not only did he fail to seize the East China Sea, but he also lost more than thirty tiger and leopard cavalry outside the city. You can imagine Xia Houyuan's depression. He was a famous general in Cao's army, but he saw through Wu Dun in this situation.

After Cao's army retreated, Wu Dun's expression was not at all relaxed. These cavalry appeared in the East China Sea, and it was very likely that Xiapi could not be defended. There were 50,000 Cao's troops attacking Xiapi this time, and Zang Ba occupied the same amount of time as Shopee.

Soon, the aristocratic families in the city must have doubts about Zang Ba. After facing Cao's army's successive attacks on the city, they are likely to rebel.

"Instruct the officers and men in the city to be on alert and beware of Cao's army's subtle moves. The scouts should closely investigate the situation outside the city so as not to give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it." Wu Dun ordered.

The general guarding the gate was terrified. Before Wu Dun arrived, he had prepared to issue an order for Xia Houyuan and others to enter the city. If he had done so, the situation in the East China Sea would have been completely different.

Two days later, Zang Ba led his cavalry to appear outside the city, escaping all the way from Xiapi. The cavalry could not conceal their panic. The blood on their armor had dried up, and there was even a layer of dust on their faces, which made them look like they were fighting.

Very embarrassed.

After receiving the news, Wu Dun hurriedly opened the city gate and welcomed Zang Ba into the city, but he was a little confused.

After Zang Ba entered the city, he sighed: "The aristocratic families in Xiapi secretly seized the city gate to support Cao Cao, so that Xiapi fell."

Wu Dun and the generals present changed their expressions upon hearing this. In fact, they had vaguely guessed the outcome from the moment Zang Ba appeared outside the city.

"General, two days ago Cao's army sent cavalry to disguise themselves as our cavalry with the intention of seizing the East China Sea, which was discovered by General Wu," a general said.
