"There is indeed an ambush. General, let's retreat quickly."
At this time, Xia Houyuan had chased him for two or three miles. The general was hit by an arrow and Huang Zhong appeared. Zhao Yong swallowed his saliva and reminded him quickly.
Xiahou Yuan covered his forehead with one hand and was very confused. His brother Xiahou Dun was shot in the eye. In the end, he pulled it out and swallowed it in his belly. He also reluctantly killed one of Lu Bu's generals.
At this time, Xiahou Yuan was hesitant to follow suit. If he himself had an eye, there would be two blind Xiahou in Wei in the future. With his prestige in the army, no one would dare to laugh at him, right?
Xia Houyuan was indifferent to Zhao Yong's reminder. Zhao Yong was now at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Although Liu Feng's horse not far away was hit by an arrow, no one chased him in his direction because of Xia Houyuan's incident. He controlled the horse with the help of his entourage.
Fazheng asked Huang Zhong to shoot Xia Houyuan with a secret arrow, but Huang Zhong was proud of his own martial arts. He wanted to kill his opponent with real force, so he deliberately shot Xia Houyuan in the left eye just now to prove that his arrow skills were not weak to Xia Houyuan's. .
If Xia Houyuan did not dare to challenge, Huang Zhong would not hesitate to shoot him in the throat again.
Seeing that Xia Houyuan didn't answer, Huang Zhong guessed what Xia Houyuan was thinking, and then deliberately teased: "Are you afraid of the pain and don't dare to pull it out? I'm afraid I have too high expectations for you."
"Old man, I, Xia Houyuan, will definitely avenge me for killing my son."
Xia Houyuan roared with anger. He grabbed the arrow and pulled it out hard. The huge eyeball was pulled out of the eye socket. The bloody look was very scary. However, he did not imitate Xiahou Dun and swallowed the eyeball. Instead, he threw it aside. on the grass.
The severe pain made Xia Houyuan keep shaking his head. This move directly shocked Zhao Yong and the soldiers beside him. His general pulled out his eyeball like a carrot.
Huang Zhong had heard that Xiahou Dun had done this, but he didn't expect his brother to be so brave. However, Xiahou Yuan's pain would soon disappear, because he would end it with his own hands.
"Are you ready? My sword has been waiting for a long time." Huang Zhong frowned and snorted.
"Old Huang Zhong, go to hell."
Xia Houyuan shouted loudly, raised his sword and rode straight towards Huang Zhong. Zhao Yongla beside him could not hold him back.
In the flash of lightning, Huang Zhong and Xia Houyuan collided.
Xiahou, who had impaired vision, used all his strength to slash in an unclear direction. Huang Zhong did not take advantage of the opponent and fought hard against the falling blade.
The huge impact came back, making Xia Houyuan almost lose his seat. Only then did he realize that Huang Zhong was very fierce, so he turned around and ran away regardless of his face.
Zhao Yong was defeated in less than one battle, and Zhao Yong didn't feel any blame in his heart. After all, his general's arrogance had shocked him, so he jumped on his horse and rushed to meet Xia Houyuan.
Huang Zhong saw that Xia Houyuan was going wherever he wanted to go, so he raised his sword and chased Xia Houyuan from the left.
While running, Xia Houyuan lost his eye sockets, and faced the cold wind blowing in his face. He almost fell off his horse in pain, and suddenly Huang Zhong's death knell-like cry came from behind.
"Xiahou's son, please accept your fate."
Huang Zhong galloped past on his war horse, and the sword in his hand fell from Xia Houyuan's head like a mountain.
Xia Houyuan heard the fierce wind above his head. He turned his head to the left and didn't see anything at all. His body had been cut into two parts by Huang Zhong's shoulder strap.
'When a general is timid, he should not rely only on his courage. Generals should base their actions on courage and act wisely; but if you are brave, you will be defeated by an enemy. '
Cao Cao's warning words were still in his ears, but Xia Houyuan did not remember them in his heart until his death. The speaker was earnest and the listener was disdainful. In the end, his words became a prophecy and he died at the foot of Dingjun Mountain.
As soon as Zhao Yong rode up to Xia Houyuan, he saw Huang Zhong's bloody sword. He was frightened out of his wits and briefly lost consciousness below the waist.
Huang Zhong saw Zhao Yong coming forward to see him off, so he refused and urged him forward.
"ah..."
When Zhao Yong was panic-stricken, he instinctively grabbed the horse's reins and turned around to escape, but Huang Zhong's horse galloped forward, leaving him no chance at all.
The fierce horse stirred up dust, the long knife pierced the air and swept across, the red cloak flew, and Zhao Yong's head rolled down.
The sudden deaths of Xia Houyuan and Zhao Yong caused the well-trained Cao army to suddenly lose restraint. The soldiers who were originally invincible in Longyou were like headless flies when faced with the fall of their general.
Huang Zhong killed the second general and immediately waved the red flag to respond to Fazheng, and then led his troops to follow behind the fleeing Cao soldiers to cover up the killing.
Fazheng saw Huang Zhong's red flag waving at the foot of the mountain. He was so excited that he hit the palm of his left hand with his right fist, and then happily announced the good news to Liu Bei: "The old general is here. Now that Xiahou Yuan is dead, those Cao soldiers are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered."
"It's all thanks to the military adviser's ingenious plan that the old general was able to kill Xiahou Yuan." Liu Bei also became excited.
"Now the whole army can attack and cooperate with General Zilong to annihilate Zhang He's remaining army." Fa Zheng was very excited.
Liu Bei echoed: "The military advisor will issue military orders quickly."
While Fazheng nodded, he immediately asked his followers to raise five red flags. At this time, Wei Yan, Wu Yi, Fu Wei, Chen Shi and other generals who were ambushing at the foot of the mountain rushed out with Liu Feng. They took advantage of the Wei soldiers' retreat and pursued them. .
It was dark in the afternoon on the south bank of Mianshui River. The sound of wind, horse hooves, fighting, crying, and shouting turned the world into a noisy market.
Zhang He originally resisted Zhao Yun in the eastern siege, but Du Xi, the Prince Consort, led more than 10,000 troops to come to the rescue. The total force of more than 20,000 troops had successfully blocked Zhao Yun's offensive. Suddenly Zhang He looked to the southwest and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Du Xi asked curiously when he saw Zhang He's expression changed.
Zhang He shook his head: "I feel restless today. I always feel like something big is about to happen."
"The defenses on the southern side are strong and the troops are on par with ours. With General Xiahou's ability to march to the right, he should be able to stop Liu Bei, right?" Du Xi asked.
"Liu Bei is a great hero in the world. He has Pang Tong and Fazheng as his wings. If King Wei doesn't come, I'm worried that there will be big problems sooner or later." Zhang He frowned.
Du Xi replied: "Zhang Fei and Ma Chao are causing rebellion in Wudu. Compared with General Zilian who is stationed in Xiabian, the King of Wei may trust General Miaocai more. We should have more confidence in General Miaocai."
"I understand." Zhang He nodded in confirmation.
Less than half an hour later, there was a sudden commotion from Zhang He's rear army. The sentry rushed over in panic to report the military situation: "General Xiahou and Zhao Governor have been killed by Huang Zhong, and the southern siege has been breached by Liu Bei's army. More than half of the soldiers have been injured, and the remaining defeated soldiers are fleeing towards the east."
After Du Xi heard the battle report, he almost fell off his horse. Zhang He grabbed the sentinel's collar to confirm and asked: "Is what you said true?"
The sentry trembled and replied: "Everything is true, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan have appeared in the rear..."
"What can I do?" Du Xi asked in panic.
Zhang He said with a serious face, "Liu Bei's military strength is superior to ours. After the death of Governor Xiahou, the morale of the army was in chaos. It has no meaning for us to stay here. We must withdraw immediately now."
