At the intersection of Bowang Slope, Zhao Yun and Han Gang were eating some dry rations and discussing something. They had already set up camp at the intersection of Bowang Slope for a day. It was the evening of the second day.
"General Zhao, do you think this Xiahou Dun will honestly fight us alone when he's marching here with his 30,000 vanguard troops?" Han Gang asked calmly. If it were me, I would definitely make use of the advantage in numbers and directly charge over.”
Han Gang's question was not only about the battle that was about to begin, but also a doubt that had always been hovering in his mind. According to his thoughts, the military strategy of the Three Kingdoms era was a kind of art. It was not a war for the sake of war. Since everyone knew that the art of war was a trick! With this logic, why would he like to fight so much? No matter how powerful the other party was, it would be difficult for them to block a volley of arrows, right?
After hearing Han Gang's question, Zhao Yun replied without thinking,"Of course not. The terrain here is complicated, the sky is dark, and Xiahou Dun is confident in his martial arts. I believe he will personally go up and fight a few rounds before talking about anything else.”
Han Gang wasn't satisfied with Zhao Yun's answer because he really wanted to know how the battle was formed. Seeing that Zhao Yun couldn't explain it, Han Gang could only understand that this was a situation that only occurred during the Three Kingdoms period. This was because whether it was strategists or generals, they all used this platform as a stage to showcase themselves. Therefore, battle formations and battle generals often appeared on the battlefield.
Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, he heard a soldier galloping over from afar. Before he could see Zhao Yun and Han Gang, he anxiously reported loudly,"Not far from the north, there is a troop of no less than twenty thousand soldiers carrying the banner of Xia Hou, and they are rapidly charging in this direction.”
Hearing the report from the scout, Zhao Yun didn't dare to be negligent. She threw down the rations in her hand and ordered loudly,"All troops, prepare to face the enemy."
As soon as Zhao Yun spoke, the military officers gave out orders continuously. In a few short breaths, 3,000 soldiers quickly got into formation and stood at the intersection of Bowang Slope.
Knowing that he was about to engage in his first horse battle, Han Gang would be lying if he said that he could still remain calm. At this moment, he was not excited, but nervous. Xiahou Dun was considered a rare general in the Three Kingdoms. Although he was inferior to Guan, Zhang, Zhao, and other fierce generals in terms of martial strength, he was not an ordinary side dish that could be eaten easily. Facing such an opponent, he should be terrified as the main battle champion, but Han Gang was only a little nervous. These two were not good mentalities, but it had to be said that Han Gang's mental state was already considered outstanding.
After the initial nervousness, Han Gang felt an inexplicable excitement. No one knew what he was thinking. At this moment, Han Gang's eyes lit up, and he looked at the densely packed black spots in the distance with a hint of anticipation. He smiled at Zhao Yun, raised his spear, and mounted his horse. He silently thought about his daily experience in riding, and used his legs to feel the muscles and blood of the horse under him.
At this moment, Xiahou Dun, who was galloping on his horse, also saw the soldiers in front of him. He immediately laughed at Li Dian, who was supervising the army behind him, and said,"Mancheng, you are really timid. How many people can there be in Xinye City? They even said that they would set up an ambush, but there were already three thousand troops in front of them. Even if they did not leave any soldiers behind and left the city with their entire army, how many of them would be left to set up an ambush? How could my 30,000 strong army be defeated?"
After saying that, Yu Ma sneered and looked back at the latter. Seeing that Li Dian still looked uneasy, Xiahou Dun became angry again. He glared at him and said nothing more. He shouted at the cavalry behind him,"Brothers! Liu Bei's thousands of soldiers are right in front of us. After we defeat them, we'll take Xinye City. At that time, we'll have a good sleep and rest.”
Gazing at the sparse few thousand soldiers and horses in front of Bowang Slope, how could the Cao army not respond? They all fought because they had been marching for days. His exhausted spirit, essence, and spirit responded loudly.
When they got closer, Xia Houdun saw two unknown white-robed generals in front of him. He was overjoyed and turned around to continue mocking Li Dian,"If the current leader isn't Guan Yu, what do I have to be afraid of? If Guan Yu was here, I would have been afraid of him. Now that he's not here, he's the first person I've accomplished in the south. Haha!”
Li Dian seemed to be used to Xiahou Dun's arrogant words, and as if he hadn't heard them, he warned loudly on his fast horse,""General, the Prime Minister has asked you and me to be the vanguard for this expedition to the south.”
Xiahou Dun was greatly displeased by Li Dian's negative words, but he could not say anything unpleasant. He snorted coldly and sped up his horse. About 8,000 cavalrymen followed closely behind him. Li Dian wanted to continue to dissuade him, but when he saw the 20,000 infantry behind him, he could only helplessly watch Xiahou Dun and the 8,000 cavalrymen leave."There are only three thousand enemies. There shouldn't be any changes, right?”
Han Gang saw a one-eyed battle general running over quickly and knew without thinking that it was Xiahou Dun. It was really difficult to find such a distinctive battle general in the Three Kingdoms.
Seeing that the other party was about to rush over, Han Gang composed himself and rode forward. He said loudly,"Does that one-eyed fellow dare to step forward and fight?”
As soon as these words came out, it made Xiahou Dun, who had just rushed to the front, furious. This flag is so obvious. Aren't you going to send scouts? Don't you know who is leading the army?"
Xiahou Dun burst into a fit of rage and shouted to stop the eight thousand cavalrymen who were charging forward with the army. He then roared at Han Gang,""Which family are you from? Why was he so arrogant? Your Grandpa Xia Hou will let you have a taste of my power today.”
After saying that, he rode forward. Looking at Xiahou Dun, who had a look of killing intent on his face, Han Gang could not help but smile bitterly. He had thought it was simple just now, just to provoke the latter so that the other party would rush forward and fight with him impulsively. However, he did not expect that he had achieved his goal, but it seemed a little too much.
Hearing Xiahou Dun calling him grandpa and brat, Han Gang was also furious. He had not expected what a long-established battle general would think when he called him a "one-eyed guy". This was the so-called saying of not exposing one's shortcomings when scolding others and not slapping one's face when hitting others.
Han Gang thought for a moment before replying loudly,"Idiot, don't try to be sharp with your words. Let your grandfather Han teach you a lesson.”
After saying that, he also raised his spear and stepped forward. At this time, Zhao Yun was somewhat unable to accept it. Han Gang usually had the appearance of a gentle and elegant humble youth, but now he was cursing and making Xiahou Dun furious. This could be seen from Xiahou Dun's already red eyes.
After recalling the military counselor's instructions, Zhao Yun forced herself not to laugh. She took a few steps forward on her horse, ready to rescue Han Gang in time if he was in danger. She seemed to be still recalling Han Gang's words of " Grandfather Han ""Could it be that Yi De taught this Yu Qi's vulgar language?”
After thinking of this possibility, Zhao Yun was relieved. She did not care if Zhang Fei was the one who taught her, but she had already placed this blame on him. This was because other than Zhang Fei, no one else in the army had ever used such vicious words in battle.
Xiahou Dun couldn't stand it when he heard Han Gang call himself his grandfather. How could he not be angry when he, Xiahou Dun, had been famous for decades and was now called " grandfather " by a child? He didn't say anything else. With one tiger eye, he raised his steel spear and rushed towards Han Gang.
Seeing Xiahou Dun rushing over with his spear, Han Gang immediately slapped his warhorse and raised his spear to meet him. In fact, Han Gang had been relieved when Xiahou Dun arrived at the spot he saw earlier. He had discovered that Xiahou Dun was indeed using a spear as described in history. Han Gang had been learning spear techniques from Zhao Yun during this period of time. Although he usually practiced it on his own, he was sensitive to agile weapons such as daggers. Therefore, he began to practice the relatively agile steel spear. He also had his own experience.
Since the other party used the same weapon as him, it was more or less helpful. Otherwise, Han Gang would not have dared to provoke Xiahou Dun too much.
The two men each had a murderous look on their faces as they charged at each other. The moment they handed over their horses, Xiahou Dun's spear technique was clearly much faster. Before Han Gang could attack, he was the first to deliver a spear strike towards Han Gang's chest.
Han Gang didn't dare to be negligent. He hurriedly put away his spear as he had practiced hard. He then tilted his body slightly on his horse to avoid Xiahou Dun's spear. Just as he was about to turn his body, he thrust the back of the spear in his hand backward.
It was a sinister move, but Xiahou Dun was not afraid. The moment he turned his body, he caught sight of Han Gang's movements from the corner of his eye and subconsciously turned the spearhead horizontally, striking the end of the spear that was about to reach his back.
"Dang!" The two of them crossed their horses in this round. The intention of both sides to test each other was very obvious. From this, it could be seen that although Xiahou Dun had a strong personality, he was not too impulsive when fighting. It was obvious that Han Gang's stimulation was not enough.
Han Gang was not surprised that Xiahou Dun could still keep his cool. As a general who had charged into battle, he had experienced countless battles and had also experienced cursing before the battle. How could he lose his cool so easily?
At this moment, Xiahou Dun was heard cursing Han Gang,""Good boy, you are indeed a rat. You love to do sinister things.”After saying that, he did not give Han Gang a chance to recover his strength and charged forward again.
Looking at Xiahou Dun, who was charging at him again, Han Gang felt a tremor in his wrist. He gripped his steel spear tightly with both hands and once again rushed forward to meet him. As he rushed forward, he also replied mercilessly,"Idiot, isn't a hole a bit unbalanced? I'll give you another one.”
When Zhao Yun heard this conversation, he almost laughed himself off his horse. Han Gang's words were really too infuriating. In this aspect alone, Xiahou Dun was simply no match for him.
This could be seen from Xiahou Dun's face turning green, but he could not find any words to fight back.
Xiahou Dun also continued to speak, but his single eye was glaring at Han Gang with killing intent.
Looking at Xiahou Dun's expression, Zhao Yun hurriedly put away her amused mood and focused on observing the two people in the battle, ready to step forward at any time.
At this moment, Li Dian had also arrived with his infantry. Seeing that Xiahou Dun was fighting with a general, he gave an order behind him. He stopped moving forward.
Han Gang had no time to observe the expressions of the people outside the arena, because at this moment, Xiahou Dun had once again rushed up to him, and his steel spear was even more violent than before, aimed at Han Gang's throat.
