In the third year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Dun and Cao Ang as the vanguard to attack Lu Bu in Xuzhou. This time, Cao Ang not only brought all the heroes of the General's Residence, Sima Yi, Gan Ning, Dian Man, Xu Yi, and even Tong Yuan. It wasn't that Cao Ang was hoping that this old man could help him, but he wanted to show Tong Yuan his perseverance. Even if he went to war, he would let Tong Yuan know that he, Cao Ang, would not relax his usual training!
Before leaving, Cao Ang had received a letter from Guo Jia. There was only one line written on it: General, if you have something to do, you can discuss it with Chen Deng.
This time, Lu Bu had made ample preparations because he had received the letter beforehand. He first sent Chen Gong to guard Xiao Pass, then connected with the bandits of Mount Tai, Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Changxi, and took the counties of Yanzhou eastward. Gao Shun and Zhang Liao attacked Xiaopei and destroyed Liu Bei. Song Xian and Wei Xu attacked Runan westward. Lu Bu was stationed in Xuzhou, and he led the central army as a three-way rescue. This time, Xiahou Dun and Cao Ang had chosen to save Liu Bei first. Therefore, Cao Ang first had to face the two people he feared the most, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao!
In addition to Cao Ang's General Military Advisor Guard Camp, the vanguard army was no less than fifty thousand. Moreover, Xiahou Dun had Cao Hong, Li Dian, and Lu Qian's help. It could be said that their momentum was monstrous and their momentum was like a dragon.
At that time, scouts had already reported to Gao Shun's military camp. At this time, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were surrounding Xiao Pei City. Under the arrangement of the two, Xiao Pei was surrounded so tightly that even birds could not enter. It was like a bucket.
In the main camp, a large 'Gao' character was slowly floating on a large flag. At this moment, there were two generals in the tent discussing military affairs. One of them had a green beard and was wearing a red robe. His face was yellow and his forehead was wide. He looked calm and capable. He was Gao Shun, the general who had trained the 800 Breaking Ranks!
Gao Shun's expression was indifferent, as if he did not feel any pressure from the arrival of the Cao army. After pondering for a moment, he turned his head and said to the next general,"Wenyuan, Xiahou Dun is coming menacingly. I'm afraid a head-on confrontation is not the best solution. How should we face the enemy?”
Gao Shun's subordinate general was clad in silver armor. A cold saw hung on the shelf behind him. His expression was calm, and his eyes were deep and unfathomable. The mustache on his lips was quite eye-catching. One look and one could tell that he was a cold and arrogant person-Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao didn't immediately answer Gao Shun when he heard this, and only put on a contemplative expression. After a while, he said coldly,""Marquis Wen ordered the general to attack Xiaopei with me. If we don't take it down, it will be difficult for us to join forces with Xiaoguan of Xuzhou.”
"That's right," said Gao Shun,"but it's not the best policy not to avoid his attack.”Zhang Liao slowly stood up. His silver armor still made people shiver under the light." To capture the thief, we must first capture the leader."”
The next day, Xiahou Dun and Cao Ang arrived at Xiaopei City. Cao Ang was surprised to see the camps around Xiaopei City from a distance. They were closely linked and arranged. Xiaopei City was surrounded very tightly. It would be difficult to shake it if there was no direct attack. Seeing this, Cao Ang hurriedly asked the scout beside him,""Who led the attack on Xiao Pei?"
"General, the leaders are General Gao Shun and Deputy General Zhang Liao.”Cao Ang's heart trembled when he heard this. It was actually these two! For some reason, a bad feeling gradually welled up in his heart. He kept feeling as if he had forgotten something important.
"Uncle, we have come from afar and it is not easy for us to fight for a long time. Why don't we set up camp and rest for a night before fighting?”Xiahou Dun laughed and said," Zixiu, although your words are related to the art of war, you are not flexible. We have come with a sharp spirit. The advantage lies in the urgency of the battle! Wouldn't it be a pity if he delayed and lost his edge? Besides, the Lord has ordered us to save Xiaopei and use it as a base. We should quickly break Gao Shun and support Liu Bei!”
After saying that, he waved his hand and said,"Go forward!" Prepare to break into the camp and reinforce Xiao Pei!" After saying that, he led the army straight to Gao Shun's camp. Cao Ang had no choice but to hold three sharp knives in his hand and lead the crowd to charge forward with Xiahou Dun.
" Thump, thump." The drums thundered as the camp gates opened. Dust flew into the air, and killing shook the sky. Looking closely, there were no less than twenty to thirty thousand troops. Two generals, one on the left and one on the right, led the crowd out to meet the attack. One was dressed in red robes, and the other in silver armor. They were Gao Shun and Zhang Liao! Cao Ang sized up the two of them with a gloomy expression. One of them was a military strategist who trained the Breaking Ranks Camp, while the other was the leader of the Five Generals. In his mind, few people in the world could match the two generals when they joined forces.
"Hehe ~" The red-robed Gao Shun smiled at Xiahou Dun and said,""You are Xiahou Dun? I heard that you are also a famous general of the Cao army. How can you be like an ignorant person and dare to invade the Wenhou Prefecture? Aren't you afraid of repeating the mistakes of Puyang? Today, I will let all of you die here!”
"Haha, your words are really funny. Don't tell me you don't know who won and who lost in the Battle of Pu Yang?”Gao Shun snorted coldly and said,"Today's situation might not be the case!"”
"Gao Shun, do you dare to fight Cao Hong?”With a loud bang, Cao Hong's voice was as loud as thunder. A bright saber accompanied its master as he charged out of the camp. Gao Shunfang was about to pick up his horse and fight, but he saw Zhang Liao beside him shake his head slightly at him. Then, he spurred his horse forward. The cold saber in his hand surged with a cold light. He was as fast as the wind and killed the enemy general Cao Hong!
"Good!" Cao Hong's saber slashed down from the sky. With a loud sound of metal clashing, the two warhorses raised their front hooves and neighed loudly, instantly frightening the soldiers on both sides.
Cao Hong rode his horse and clashed with Zhang Liao. After 20 rounds, he used a direct hit. Zhang Liao used a trick to hit the tail of Cao Hong's long saber. With a crack, it was broken into two. Cao Hong hurriedly held the head of the saber with one hand and the tail of the saber with the other to block Zhang Liao, barely maintaining the battle.
"Zhang Wenyuan's martial arts are strong. We have to attack him from both sides!”Cao Ang saw that Cao Hong was in danger and hurriedly spoke. Li Dian wiped his elegant long beard and sighed,"General is right." Then, he stepped out to help Cao Hong fight Zhang Liao!
At this moment, Zhang Liao's ability was finally fully revealed. The long saber in his hand moved one move after another, one ring after another. The long saber that was supposed to be used for hacking and slashing was like an endless river in his hand. It was extremely strange and there were almost no flaws. Cao Ang was anxious, so he gave Gan Ning a look.
Gan Ning laughed coldly and rode out, but he didn't want to join in the fray."Generals, please rest! Watch me fight him!" Knowing that Gan Ning was Cao Ang's deputy general, Li Dian immediately retreated with Cao Hong. Zhang Liao didn't chase after him, but coldly looked at Gan Ning and said,"Who are you?"
Gan Ning snorted, his voice full of disdain."Gan Ning! Today, I've been ordered to take your head!" "I'm afraid you don't have that ability." Zhang Liao sneered.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them began to fight. Looking at the two of them who were locked in a battle, Cao Ang suddenly recalled something Sun Quan had said before: Meng De has Zhang Liao, I have Gan Xingba, enough to offset each other.
Cao Ang had always felt that the bravery of a general was far less important than strategy. Only now did he understand that a real general could make the three armies retreat with just a raise of his hand, a single movement, and even a small movement on the battlefield. Looking at Zhang Liao, Gan Ning, and Cao Ang on the battlefield, who didn't seem to be afraid of death, who attacked like lightning and wielded his saber like a storm, they were even more determined to improve their martial arts.
The legendary Divine Generals were not lucky to be able to shake up an era. Usually, they did not seem to be anything special, but once they clashed on the battlefield, they were the true overlords.
"Who is this?" Looking at Gan Ning, who was locked in battle with Zhang Liao, Xiahou Dun asked Cao Ang in surprise," This is my nephew's new general, Gan Ning, also known as Xingba."
"A true general!" Xiahou Dun nodded slightly and said in a deep voice,""Beat the drum! March!" Cao Ang was still uneasy." Uncle, it's better to wait and see.”
"We can't let Liu Xuande wait any longer," Xiahou Dun sighed.”After he finished speaking, the sound of drums resounded across the earth. The rumbling of hooves and the whistling of shouts were like a gale sweeping through the tide, like a rainstorm washing through the forest. The ground trembled slightly, and the sound of hooves behind Xiahou Dun seemed to have hit a person's bones.
"Break the enemy, break the enemy!" Xiahou Dun led the cavalry to charge into the enemy formation. Gan Ning heard the shouts behind him and pursed his lips."I haven't killed my enemies yet, and I'm already attacking.”
Gao Shun looked coldly at Xiahou Dun's army horse charging over like a tiger or wolf.""Attack!" Lu Bu's horse army was famous in the world. They moved extremely quickly and moved in the blink of an eye. He charged towards the soldier division that was charging towards him, while Gao Shun slapped his saber and danced his horse as he pounced straight at Xiahou Dun." Gao Shun! You also have this day. Hand over your life!"
Looking at Xiahou Dun, who was extremely imposing, Gao Shun smiled slightly and brandished his saber to kill. The two horses collided. Cao Ang looked at the Cao Army that was like a hurricane, while Gao Shun's army was being swept away like leaves and branches. How could Gao Shun lead the troops so inept?”
Gradually, the enemy troops, including Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, began to retreat. There was a feeling that their strength was inexhaustible. Xiahou Dun was now fighting with all his might. He looked up at the sky and roared. The Cao army was like a flood, surging forward.
Xiahou Dun took the lead. The spear in his hand was like waves of surging tides. His subordinates were barely able to hold their ground. It was a feeling of commanding the army to defeat the enemy and grasp the entire battlefield. This was to make his mind not as alert as usual.
Raising his head, he saw Gao Shun standing still not far away, as well as the general flag fluttering mightily behind him. The corners of Xiahou Dun's mouth curled into a smile. If he killed the general and seized the flag, he would win this battle!
Leading dozens of winged cavalry warriors, Xiahou Dun charged straight at Gao Shun, as if Gao Shun's head and flag were already in his pocket.
"Sou! Whoosh!" Arrows streaked across the sky, and a group of archers suddenly stood up in the trench behind Gao Shun. Immediately, arrows were fired in a flurry! Arrows flew up like birds, and the cavalrymen behind Xiahou Dun fell to the ground one by one. The scene was instantly ruined.
The moment the arrow was shot, Cao Ang suddenly realized what he was worried about. To capture the enemy, he had to capture the leader first! This was the true reason why Gao Shun's army had been in a passive position! "Uncle!" Cao Ang hurriedly rode his horse and charged towards Xiahou Dun. Dian Man and Xu Yi immediately followed.
Among the arrows, a sharp arrow shot out like a shooting star and struck Xiahou Dun's face without a sound! "Ah!" Xiahou Dun's tiger roar shook the sky as he reached out and crushed the arrow on his face. Cao Ang, who had come on horseback, was shocked! Could it be that history was destined to repeat itself, and the one-eyed blind Xia Hou was still going to walk onto the stage of history?
Xiahou Dun suddenly pulled out the arrowhead. His perfectly intact eyes were bright and frightening. The arrow did not hit his left eye, but it hit his tall and straight nasal canal, shattering his nasal bone. The bleeding hole in the middle of his nose bridge was like a third eye in his blood-red eyes, glaring fiercely at the general who had been disfigured by the arrow!
