Xiahou Dun's face was full of disbelief. It was clear that Zhou Yu was infected with the disease, and Zhang Zhongjing could not cure it. He was already waiting to die.
Why did Zhou Yu suddenly recover?
Under this premise, Zhou Yu faked his death and deliberately lured him to attack, hoping to defeat him completely.
Fell into a trap!
Xiahou Dun's heart sank.
Xiahou Dun was a little anxious. He glanced around and saw more and more Wu soldiers coming to kill him. The soldiers under his command looked panicked. Xiahou Dun was also a little panicked in his heart, but after the panic, the ferocity in his bones broke out.
Xiahou Dun held up his gun and roared: "Even if Zhou Yu is not dead, he just lured the general to send troops. Today, we can defeat Lu Xuan's army and Tai Shi Ci on the battlefield, and we can still win."
"Kill with me!"
Xiahou Dun kept giving orders.
After the order was passed down, Yu Jin also led his soldiers to attack continuously, intending to reverse the situation.
Xiahou Dun and Ma Chao joined forces, and their goal was still to deal with Lu Xuan. As long as Lu Xuan is killed, this battle will be won.
Unfortunately, the two of them couldn't get close to Lu Xuan.
Especially when Taishi Ci's army rushed forward, the pressure of the spear formation being surrounded by Cao's army was relieved, further blocking the offensive of Xiahou Dun and Ma Chao.
Lu Xuan adjusted his strategy accordingly and ordered: "Lance array, attack!"
Lu Xuan and Xu Chu joined forces and led their troops to break out of the encirclement and counterattack Cao's army.
When Lu Xuan broke through, the roar of the trapped camp's attack came from the battlefield again.
"The ambition to be trapped in a battle will lead to death but not life."
"Trapped in camp, kill!"
"Kill the enemy, kill the enemy!"
As the leader of the trapped camp, Gao Shun followed Tai Shici to kill. It's just that his speed is slower, but even so, the army has already entered the battlefield. The appearance of heavy armored infantry like this in the trapped camp was like a huge wave sweeping over them, pushing them all the way across. No Cao army could resist.
When Gao Shun attacked, Taishi Ci's group also advanced rapidly.
These are all new forces.
The soldiers were extremely aggrieved during this period. Because of Zhou Yu's condition and the epidemic, he could only return to Suanzao County.
Now, he is finally killed.
The soldiers fighting one by one were like tigers descending from the mountain, roaring and charging, with fierce morale.
Coupled with the fact that Lu Xuan led his men to counterattack, Wu soldiers were fighting everywhere on the battlefield, and the offensive was like a tide. The general trend of the battlefield changed towards the side of Wu.
The morale of Xiahou Dun's Cao army collapsed.
Yu Jin had already retreated to Xiahou Dun and said loudly: "General Xiahou, our defense line has been breached by the trapped camp and cannot be stopped. The soldiers' hearts are floating because of Zhou Yu's calculations."
Ma Chao also came to Xiahou Dun's side and reminded: "Father-in-law, the attack of Lu Xuan, Tai Shici and Gao Shun is too fierce. We can't stop it. This is a surprise attack. We have been plotted from beginning to end. Let's retreat." .”
His heart felt cold.
He wanted to take revenge by killing more Wu soldiers.
However, he is being plotted at every turn.
When Zhou Yu was not sick, they were overwhelmed and could only huddle in Yan County, East County, to defend themselves. Zhou Yu fell ill and fell, and Wu's troops retreated to Suanzao County. In order to better deal with Zhou Yu's army, Xiahou Dun decided to wait until Zhou Yu was dead before attacking.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu did not die, but instead used fake death to plot against them.
When Xiahou Dun heard Ma Chao's words, he looked around again and saw that the soldiers were defeated. He sighed helplessly: "Withdraw the troops, withdraw all the troops."
Xiahou Dun reunited with Ma Chao and Yu Jin and quickly evacuated.
As soon as the army retreated, Cao's army on Xiahou Dun's side began to withdraw across the board, abandoning their offensive and defensive lines. Xiahou Dun, Ma Chao, Yu Jin and others led the cavalry to clear the way and evacuated at the front.
Such a formation retreated, causing the infantry in the rear to be killed on a large scale when the army retreated, resulting in numerous casualties.
Large numbers of Cao's troops continued to flee.
When Lu Xuan's army pursued them, they turned into infantrymen to cover up and surrender. Lu Xuan, Tai Shici and Xu Chu led the cavalry to cover up and disperse Cao's retreating army. The pursuit and escape of both sides continued, advancing rapidly under the vast white sky.
From the fighting battlefield to the foot of Suanzao County.
Xiahou Dun glanced at the county seat of Suanzao County from a distance, with a face full of resentment and disappointment. This time he wanted to plot against Lu Xuan, but he didn't expect that he would be plotted against him. The most troublesome thing was that Zhou Yu was not dead and was alive and well.
Xiahou Dun couldn't understand it at all.
Zhou Yu contracted the epidemic and was already about to die.
Why are you suddenly alive?
Could it be that destiny is on Lu Xuan's side, and does God favor Lu Xuan?
Thoughts were flying in Xiahou Dun's heart, but he did not stop and continued to retreat with his men. Xiahou Dun retreated all the way beyond the border of Suanzao County without stopping, and continued north towards Yan County.
Xiahou Dun retreated, and the cavalry led by Lu Xuan followed closely, biting Xiahou Dun and his party. As a result, Xiahou Dun and his party were unable to stop and could only continue to flee.
When Xiahou Dun was less than twenty miles away from the county seat of Yan County, the pursuers from behind could not catch up for the time being, so he ordered a rest.
Xiahou Dun took a look at the soldiers around him. The number of cavalry following him now was less than 600, and most of them were lost. The key is. All his infantry fell behind.
Although many people fled, it was foreseeable that the infantry would become prisoners on a large scale.
call! call! !
Xiahou Dun turned over and dismounted, resting his hands on the horse's back, breathing heavily. The same was true for his war horse, which was puffing and puffing with white air. It was really tired.
Ma Chao was young and energetic, and had better physical strength. He said with relief: "Father-in-law, General Yu, although we have been defeated, there are still some supplies in Yan County, East County. Let's withdraw first and rely on Yan County's defense."
Xiahou Dun nodded and sighed: "For now, this is the only option."
Yu Jin shouted: "I object!"
Xiahou Dun looked over and asked in a deep voice, "Yu Jin, what do you mean?"
Yu Jin quickly said: "I am opposed to withdrawing to Yan County. I think now, we should abandon Yan County immediately and use Hanoi County to withdraw to Guanzhong."
Xiahou Dun frowned and said, "Why?"
Yu Jin explained: "Both Lu Xuan and Zhou Yu are masters of military use. Since they set up a plan to ambush us, how could they not have expected that we would flee to Yan County after being defeated?"
"The most important point is that Lu Xuan said that Zhou Yu had recovered and was pretending to die to lure us."
"But during this battle, Lu Xuan didn't say where Zhou Yu was. From the beginning to the end, Zhou Yu never showed up."
"I don't think Zhou Yu will stay in Suanzao County."
Yu Jin's eyes were bright and he said in a deep voice: "When we were in Yan County, I mentioned that Zhou Yu's death might be a conspiracy to lure us south. At that time, I also agreed with General Xiahou Dun's analysis, because Zhou Yu's illness would make it impossible to recover. However, Zhou Yu happened to recover. Now, I have reason to confidently judge that Zhou Yu is definitely still alive, and there is a great possibility that he is in Yan County."
Xiahou Dun fell silent after hearing this.
Is Yu Jin's judgment accurate?
He couldn't make a balance for a while. However, if Yu Jin's judgment was inaccurate, when he heard that Zhou Yu was dead, Yu Jin suspected a conspiracy. It was only because he forcibly decided to go south that Yu Jin went south with him.
Xiahou Dun looked at Yu Jin and asked again: "Are you really sure?"
Yu Jin said firmly: "I'm sure."
Xiahou Dun no longer hesitated and said decisively: "I trust your judgment. We will go directly to Hanoi County and withdraw our troops back to Guanzhong. Now that there is no chance of defeating Lu Xuan, we will defend with all our strength."
Yu Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The general is wise!"
After Xiahou Dun rested for a quarter of an hour, he adjusted his strategy and no longer went to Yan County in the north. He led his people to Hanoi County in the northwest and returned to Guanzhong from Hanoi County.
