Wei Yan fought with King Gongsun for more than ten more times, but was finally defeated by the enemy's brute force. The bronze hammer weighed a thousand kilograms, and he forced him back with a feint, and he hurriedly ordered Hu Ji to retreat.
Xiahou Ba was in the rear sweep formation. When he saw this, he shouted: "Beat the drum!"
Dong dong dong——
The Xianbei cavalry poured down like a mountain torrent, covered in smoke and dust, and followed King Gongsun straight forward to catch up with the Jingzhou army.
The Jingzhou army was turning around, and their formation was in chaos. The cavalry rushed forward and could not stop them at all. In an instant, the front team was scattered.
King Gongsun ran rampant like a black bear, swinging his hammers, and golden light flashed in the chaos. Many soldiers were killed on the spot, and some even flew into the air.
"What a brave dog thief!" Wei Yan didn't expect King Gongsun to be so brave and dare to charge straight into the formation, turning his horse's head to intercept him.
"kill!"
Xiahou Ba fought several times with the Jingzhou soldiers, but was frustrated and helpless. In addition, Xiahou Yuan was captured, and his long-suppressed anger finally burst out. With a cold shout, the leader of the army followed him and charged out.
When Hu Ji saw that all the defenders had come out, he shouted: "Wen Chang cannot be reluctant to fight!"
The Jingzhou soldiers hurriedly retreated, and the Wei army was suppressed by Guan Yu for half a year. Their morale surged, and they followed Xiahou Ba forward, unstoppable.
In the front, the Xianbei cavalry charged all the way. In the vast wilderness, the cavalry's advantage was fully brought into play. In the rear, Xiahou Ba chased the remnants of the enemy. Corpses littered the field along the way. They took advantage of the victory and pursued them for nearly twenty miles.
Wei Yan was anxious and angry on his horse. Although the Jingzhou army was well-trained, they were defeated like a mountain. The cavalry pursued them closely and they were unable to form formations in the chaos. The soldiers fled in rout.
Just when they were desperate, dust suddenly started flying in front, and reinforcements arrived. The Wei army gathered their troops, and the Xianbei army roared away on horseback. This was the Wei army's first major victory since Guan Yu entered the Central Plains, and everyone cheered.
The person coming from the front was the veteran general Huang Zhong. Seeing that Wei Yan's troops were defeated and even the Red Flame Army was in disarray, he was surprised and asked: "Then Xia Houyuan's son is actually so capable?"
"Alas!" Wei Yan said helplessly with a face full of shame: "The traitor Cao has invited a monster. He is extremely powerful and may be difficult to fight against."
Huang Zhong stroked his white beard gently and sneered: "It turns out he is a little thief from the country, waiting for someone to kill him."
Wei Yan hurriedly advised: "Han Sheng should not show off. King Gongsun does have some abilities. It is better to wait for the military advisor to come before discussing."
Huang Zhong said displeasedly: "Is Mr. Wen so old?"
Wei Yan sighed: "Don't you know that the general's martial arts are better than mine? But that King Gongsun cannot be underestimated, and at this time Zhang Liao has returned to Xuchang. I came to take Guandu first, but I was defeated for a while, which dampened my morale and may have ruined my life." The strategic plan of the military strategist.”
Huang Zhong remembered that Zhuge Liang had told him before leaving that he would only support Wei Yan without fighting, so he gave up and the two of them chose a location to camp on the spot.
In the evening, Zhuge Liang arrived with his army, and the two men were welcomed into the tent. Wei Yan apologized and said: "At the end of the day, the general did not overestimate his own capabilities and lost the first battle. I ask the military advisor to punish him."
Zhuge Liang signaled Wei Yan to stand up and comforted him: "General Wen Chang, don't blame yourself. How can there be a victorious general on the battlefield?"
Wei Yan became more and more ashamed, clasped his fists and said: "The general will definitely avenge this, please ask the military advisor for advice."
Although Wei Yan and Zhuge didn't have many appearances together, he often heard Pang Tong praise him and felt inferior to him, and he was highly regarded by Liu Qi, who had full authority to appoint major affairs in the Central Plains, so he knew that Wolong's reputation was well-deserved.
Zhuge Liang shook his goose-feather fan, which he kept with him all year round, and said with a chuckle: "Don't worry, general, these remote barbarians are nothing more than livestock and beasts in Liang's eyes."
Huang Zhong cupped his fists and said, "There is no need for military advisors to use tactics. I will meet this person in front of the formation tomorrow to bring out this bad breath for Wen."
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Since this man has natural supernatural power, I am afraid that the old general will make a mistake, so there is no need to fight against him."
Huang Zhong's beard and hair were spread out, he slammed the sword on the ground, and said loudly: "Does the military advisor think Huang Zhong is old? Although he is old at a certain age, this sword is not old."
Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said: "In that case, the old general will go out to fight the enemy tomorrow. Let's see how strong this person is."
…
When the Wei army returned to camp, the morale of the entire army was high. Xiahou Ba suddenly felt more confident and sent an order to reward the Xianbei army and hold a banquet to celebrate their victory.
King Gongsun held a jar of wine and drank it deliciously. This was a special case made by Cao Cao. It was the attraction of the wine that made him willing to sacrifice his life. He laughed and said, "You all say how powerful Liu Qi's men are. I It’s nothing more than that.”
Xiahou Ba said with emotion: "The person your Majesty met today is Wei Yan. This person's strength is far inferior to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, etc. Don't be careless."
King Gongsun took a sip of wine and said disdainfully: "Even if Guan Yu comes in person, I will smash him into meat cakes, steam them and drink them with wine."
After all, Xiahou Ba suffered losses many times, but he was still vigilant and reminded: "When Zhuge Liang's army arrives tomorrow, there must be a trick. Your Majesty, please be more careful."
King Gongsun wiped the wine stains from his beard and said proudly: "The young general is so afraid of Zhuge Liang? I will capture him tomorrow and let you deal with him."
Seeing that he was already a bit drunk, Xiahou Ba knew that talking more would be useless, so he ordered the banquet to be canceled early and asked everyone to recharge their batteries and prepare to face the enemy.
Early the next morning, the Jingzhou army rushed to the Guandu camp in a mighty manner. They saw Zhuge Liang sitting on a four-wheeled vehicle, with generals on his left and right guarding him in a very neat formation.
King Gongsun suddenly smiled and said: "Is this the Wolong you are talking about? I still use a fan in the winter. I think it is perfect to go to Heilongjiang, Mobei."
However, Xiahou Ba immediately stared at the veteran on Zhuge Liang's right hand and shouted: "Old thief, are you Huang Zhong?"
Huang Zhong was looking at the arrogant King Gongsun. He was startled when he heard the words. He suddenly understood. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This young general must be Zhong Quan's nephew. Your father and son are bored in Luoyang. Do you want to reunite with them?" "
Xiahou Ba said angrily, "The old thief has brought shame on my father by cheating. Today I will take your life."
The enemy was extremely jealous when they met. Hearing that Huang Zhong had captured Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Ba had long wanted to take revenge. This time, he couldn't help but rush out before King Gongsun went out to fight.
Xiahou Ba was furious, and fired his spear like an angry dragon out of the sea, swiftly and fiercely. In his opinion, this veteran must have used a trick to capture Xiahou Yuan, and he was still imprisoned in Luoyang, which was a great shame and humiliation.
He rushed to kill with a dull head, and in the blink of an eye, Xiahouba was unable to do anything to Huang Zhong. He couldn't help but feel frightened. The opponent's sword seemed to be careless, but it blocked all his attacks. He seemed to be able to do it with ease. This man was actually very powerful. Unfathomable.
Just when he was surprised, he heard Huang Zhong shout coldly: "Sure enough, father and son are of the same sex, and they are both so impatient. I will tell you to remember a little longer today."
Before he finished speaking, the sword suddenly turned like a monster that was awakened. It opened and closed with an astonishing momentum. It killed Xiahou Ba steadily and he was unable to resist.
"I will reunite your father and son now." Huang Zhong said with swift and fierce moves. He had already seen Xiahou Ba's flaw. He raised his knife and flew his spear away, then reached out to grab it on the belt of his robe.
"Old man, look at the arrow!" He heard a loud shout as soon as he put away the knife. He looked up and saw an arrow coming straight towards the door like a shooting star chasing the moon.
Huang Zhong's eyes suddenly shrank, and he stared at the incoming arrow without moving, his gray beard and hair flying in the wind, as if he was frightened.
