"what sound?"
In the middle route army, Xia Houyuan, who was hiding under the human wall, was shocked.
Yes, even he heard the noise.
And lying on the ground, the earth's vibrations were transmitted to the body more effectively.
This tremor really made his liver and gallbladder split.
It must be cavalry, and a huge number of them!
Xia Houyuan was very familiar with this sound. He had been the commander of the cavalry before.
Tens of thousands of war horses galloping, can't they level mountains and rivers and crush the earth?
Although there was no one around to answer, the answer was ready to come out.
The Han cavalry has arrived!
Who else in the world besides the Han army could organize such a large-scale cavalry?
Moreover, didn’t Liu Zhang say it himself?
Before the Han cavalry arrived, Xia Houyuan always took a chance.
I think the cost of waiting is extremely low.
But now, as soon as Qizhen arrived, his mentality changed instantly.
It was as if there was a countdown above his head, and there was an obvious amount of time before the end of life.
And this time will not be very long!
Xia Houyuan, who was anxious and panicked, did not completely lose his bearings. He clearly knew what he should do most at the moment.
Organize soldiers to launch an attack immediately.
No matter how many arrows there are, you must withstand them and move forward.
Compared to the fierce and cruel rain of arrows, the Han cavalry was even more ferocious!
"Soldiers, we have no time, we must rush over and break the Han camp!"
While roaring angrily, Xia Houyuan turned around and prepared to lead his army to charge.
But when I looked back, I was stunned for a moment.
All the encouraging words in his mouth were stuck, and there was no way to say them out.
Thousands of soldiers sat slumped on the ground, eyes blank and without any fighting spirit.
Looking around, weapons were thrown everywhere, and only a handful of them were still in their hands.
If a soldier can't even do the most basic thing of holding his weapon firmly, what fighting spirit can he still have?
Xia Houyuan felt deeply ashamed and couldn't help roaring and cursing.
"You bastards, get your weapons, general!"
"Look at how embarrassed you are, how dignified you are!"
"Is it possible that you are willing to be slaughtered by the Han army at your own risk?"
I thought that the slightly threatening roar would wake up these soldiers a little.
Unfortunately, I obviously overthought it.
The soldiers had long been frightened by the arrow array. From the moment they sat on the ground, they never thought of standing up again.
Now there was a sudden violent noise, the ground was shaking, and it was constantly ravaging their already broken hearts.
It's not terrible to be riddled with holes, at least it's still connected.
But if it were to give this riddled hole a heavy blow, it would be hard to say.
It is very likely to be completely shattered in one blow!
After it was shattered, it was completely reduced to the target of being slaughtered.
And what Xia Houyuan saw at this moment was exactly this situation!
This army gave him only one feeling.
Can't stand up anymore.
That kind of despair is simply more terrifying than facing the arrow formation.
Xia Houyuan was stunned for an unknown amount of time. When Xia Houyuan's fighting spirit was constantly being worn away, there was finally movement from behind.
Xia Houyuan's expressionless eyes finally reflected some color.
He was about to stand up, but thought of the crisis and quickly sat back down.
He could only use waving hands and words to urge the soldiers to come forward quickly.
Finally, after constant struggle, the messenger came to Cao Hong.
"General Xiahou!"
Xia Houyuan grabbed the soldier and asked impatiently.
"How's it going! What happened next?"
"Why!"
The soldier sighed heavily and told the story in detail.
Especially Cao Hong's ridiculousness is explained in extremely detail.
It wasn't until the end that the current situation was revealed.
"General Xiahou, the Han cavalry is besieging the valley. We have been surrounded!"
"The King of Wei ordered the general to attack the Han camp quickly. He must capture Liu Zhang before the Han cavalry breaks in!"
"Otherwise, no one in the army will survive!"
"What!"
Xia Houyuan exclaimed.
Even if I had a premonition in my heart, hearing it with my own ears is still a different feeling.
The countdown that had been hanging overhead finally started running.
There is not much time left for Xia Houyuan.
"General, what should we do now?"
Xia Houyuan pushed the soldier away and thought to himself.
Now he doesn't allow anyone to disturb him.
After a while, Xia Houyuan stood up directly as if he was dead.
At this moment, the human wall could no longer block the rain of arrows for him.
Xia Houyuan's life would be harvested by the Han army's arrows at any time.
But there was nothing he could do.
This is the only way, the only chance!
"Commanders, please listen to me, we are surrounded by Han cavalry outside!"
"Liu Zhang has long since given up his harsh words and wants to kill us all without leaving a single person behind!"
"I will ask you, are you willing to sit on the ground and wait to die?"
This time, the distracted soldiers finally responded.
They were just defeated, not stupid.
Sitting on the ground, isn't it just to survive?
"I don't want to!"
I don't know who shouted this sentence, and then many soldiers rushed to respond.
No one said they wanted to sit on the ground and wait to die.
Xia Houyuan nodded repeatedly, finally feeling a little relieved.
"Listen, you are sitting on the ground now, waiting for you to be trampled, slaughtered and bloody by the Han army's cavalry!"
"I will not force you, but I will tell you that if you sit down, you can only wait for death, but if you stand up, you can resist!"
"If you don't want to draw necks, kill them. If you are trampled to death by the Han army, just stand up!"
There was a commotion among the soldiers, with many people looking around and whispering.
However, no one stood up after waiting for a long time.
No one!
Xia Houyuan looked at this scene and felt extremely heartbroken.
If there was no other way, these soldiers really deserved to be slaughtered!
But now we still have to count on them and rely on them to win.
"Why, are you willing to be slaughtered?"
Finally, a soldier had the courage to ask.
"General Xiahou, it's not that we are willing to be slaughtered, it's because the Han army's arrows are too strong."
"When I stand up, I will be killed by the Han army's arrows in an instant. What should I do?"
After all, the same thing is true: I am afraid of death.
Xia Houyuan closed his eyes slightly and kept breathing heavily to vent his anger.
"I would like to ask you whether you would rather be trampled to death by Han cavalry or shot to death by arrows!"
