A fire was burning in the Han army camp, reflecting the red sky. Now the morning glow is rising. Within a radius of dozens of miles, chickens are crowing, dogs are barking, and birds and beasts are out, thinking that the sky will be bright.
When Guo Huai saw the fire on the bank of the river, he immediately ordered his soldiers to dig the river channel. Everyone came to the bank with shovels and hoes, but they were all shocked when they saw a figure appearing in the darkness on the other bank.
"Be careful!" Guo Huai hurriedly picked up his sword and stepped forward. He saw that the people on the other side were also stunned on the shore. What he was holding was not a weapon, but a shovel and a hoe.
"Is it possible that sir is worried that I will cause trouble and sent another army to prepare on the other side?"
Guo Huai was a little panicked and shouted: "Hurry and dig, why are you standing there?"
After saying this, he grabbed a shovel and stepped forward to dig out the sand himself. The Han army also rushed to remove the sand and soil together with the bridge piers.
It was Miao Shang who came from the other side. He was about to lead people to attack, but he was surprised when he saw a group of enemy troops pouring out from the other side. He was leading only new soldiers and handymen, and they were unable to fight at all.
He was secretly scolding Xu Huang for causing trouble, but when he saw the people on the opposite side rushing to dig the river channel, Miao Shang was stunned for a moment and shouted urgently: "Hurry up, don't let them take the credit."
Miao Shang also thought that the soldiers on the other side were sent by Xu Huang, but he didn't expect that Xu Huang would even take the credit for digging the river. During the day, he looked upright and awe-inspiring, but it turned out that he had hidden selfish motives and wanted to take the credit alone.
The armies of the Han and Wei dynasties each had their own thoughts. At this moment, they worked together and worked hard, as if they had a tacit understanding, and they were working enthusiastically.
In a short time, the unfinished river channel was hollowed out, and the Jishui River rushed down. Both armies were panting and stood on the bank looking at each other across the river, watching each other leave.
Guo Huai returned home like an arrow and selected 500 cavalry to go straight to the camp to support him. Xu Shu was already disappointed with him. If he didn't behave well, his future future would be ruined.
On the opposite side, Miao Shang was walking along the river bank, watching the fire on the other side as he slowly returned to the camp. Seeing that the fire was getting stronger and stronger, the Han army's camp must be in danger, and he complained more and more that Xu Huang was selfish and that such great achievements were not given to him.
"A sneeze -" At this time, Xu Huang was chasing Pang De on the other side. A gust of night wind blew and he couldn't help but sneeze, causing his helmet to tilt.
Just then he raised his hand to straighten himself, when suddenly he heard a scream from the front, and the cavalry outflanked on both sides rolled and fell to the ground, creating a mess.
Xu Huang straightened his helmet and shouted: "What happened?"
Rumble——
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was suddenly heard in the darkness, and under the dark red firelight, a group of cavalry rushed from the northwest, like ghosts, with astonishing momentum.
"Defend the enemy!" Xu Huang was shocked and quickly ordered the soldiers to stop chasing and prepare to meet the enemy.
"Hahaha, Xu Huang, do you finally dare to cross the river?"
The cavalry roared in from a hundred steps away. The first general, majestic and unruly, was Xiliang Ma Chao.
"Xu Shu, what a deep plan!" Xu Huang's heart sank. When he saw Ma Chao suddenly appeared, he knew that he had fallen into Xu Shu's plan again.
Judging from this situation, Ma Dai attacks the Wild King and leaves Ma Chao to guard the camp. If he goes to rescue the Wild King, Ma Chao will come to capture the camp. If he attacks the camp instead, he will fall into a trap.
No matter what he chose, the Han army was already in an invincible position. Xu Shu actually counted one more step than him, and lost the game by one move.
Looking back at the camp that was burned into a sea of flames, I knew that Miao Shang had already dug the river channel, and the Wei army that crossed the river was already a fish in the trap. At this time, the only option was to fight to the death and fight to the death.
But obviously Ma Chao didn't think so, and shouted: "Xu Huang, you are already a turtle in the urn, why don't you surrender earlier?"
"A man is loyal to his lord and has to die, so why say more?" Xu Huang saw the men and horses behind him gradually approaching, slowly raised his axe, and said: "Bring your horses over here!"
"You are defeated, don't you know it?" Ma Chao drew his gun and squinted at Xu Huang proudly.
Xu Huang didn't even answer. He roared and raised his big ax to kill. He swung his mountain ax left and right in a desperate move, making him dance like a tiger.
However, Ma Chao of Xiliang was not in vain. Facing Xu Huang's fierce attack, he did not give in. Instead, he aroused his fighting spirit and raised his spear to fight with his big axe.
After more than ten rounds, Xu Huang couldn't hold on any longer, and his moves gradually became chaotic. Although he tried his best, he still couldn't do anything to the opponent.
Nowadays, Ma Chao is in his prime, his morale is at peak, his spear skills are uncanny, and he has so much experience in killing enemies accumulated over generations, he almost stabbed Xu Huang several times.
When the crisis approached, Xu Huang calmed down and realized that he was no match for Ma Chao. If he wanted to find opportunities, he had to be patient and look for them. After years of fighting in battle, Xu Huang also had his own merits.
The two horses passed by, coming and going, and before they knew it, thirty turns passed. The Wei troops behind were all silent, sweating for Xu Huang. They all understood that the victory or defeat in this battle was related to their survival.
"ah--"
While the two armies were watching the battle, a scream suddenly came from the side, breaking the tranquility on the field.
I saw a chaos on the left wing. A group of cavalry rushed over and knocked the Wei army off their feet. The first general charged with his sword and was invincible.
The Wei army was in panic and crowded towards the central army. However, at the same time, the right camp was also attacked. Arrows were fired. The huddled Wei army screamed and fell to the ground one after another. The entire formation was completely in chaos.
Dong dong dong——
Behind the scarlet light curtain, the dull sound of drums sounded like spring thunder, as if coming from the sky and spreading on the empty bank of Jishui. Countless Han troops swarmed out and outflanked the Wei army from behind.
Xu Huang hurriedly turned around and saw figures in front, back and left, and said angrily: "Despicable, sneak attack again!"
"Hahaha, it's obvious that you came to steal the camp, but you said that I attacked you?" Ma Chao laughed and said, "Take care of yourself first!"
While Xu Huang was distracted, he attacked with victory and stabbed his chest with a spear. Xu Huang hurriedly raised his ax to hold it up. At this time, Ma Chao was killing him and he was sweating.
There were screams behind him, and the opponent in front of him was powerful. In despair, Xu Huang roared angrily, and his ax suddenly became more powerful, slashing towards Ma Chao like thunder, ignoring the shot that stabbed his chest.
A cold light from the fire shone on Ma Chao's head like a horse. Even if he was stabbed by a spear, the remaining power of the ax would be enough to decapitate Ma Chao.
Ma Chao's eyes were slightly gleaming, how could he not see Xu Huang's thoughts, he shouted loudly, raised the spear with the spear pointed downwards, pointed downwards, and took the ax again without any hesitation.
Zi La La——
The big ax struck the handle of the gun, making a tooth-wrenching sound of friction, and sparks flew from the barrel.
I saw sparks and lightning all the way as Ma Chao galloped past Xu Huang.
Xu Huang was shaken so hard that he could barely hold the axe. He was about to get back on his horse and fight again when he heard Ma Chao shout: "How about my move?"
Before he could turn around, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his heart, which made his chest feel tight and stars in his eyes. He couldn't lift it up in one breath. The ax fell from his hand and he murmured: "You sneak attack, you don't have martial ethics..."
"Whether it's a white cat or a black cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat!"
Hearing Ma Chao's laughter coming from behind, Xu Huang's eyesight turned black, the sound of fighting in his ears gradually faded away, and he seemed to be falling into an endless abyss.
