After Xia Houyuan returned to the city, he immediately began to organize the remaining troops to retreat.
All the large troops had already withdrawn, leaving only his few thousand light cavalry.
Coupled with Xia Houyuan's usual ability, he withdrew his troops very quickly, so he soon came to a three-way intersection.
One side of this intersection leads to Shanggui City, and the other side leads to Qingshui County, where Ma Chao is about to arrive.
However, when Xia Houyuan breathed a sigh of relief, the road in the direction of Qingshui was still as calm as ever.
Looking from a distance, there is not a single pedestrian. After all, in this era, war and banditry are always encountered, and ordinary people can hardly retreat.
So you don¡¯t see anyone at all on weekdays.
After pondering for a moment in front of the three-way intersection, Xia Houyuan finally raised his head and shouted softly: "Let's go!"
After passing this three-way intersection, the atmosphere in Xiahou's army gradually became more relaxed.
Because from then on, they were freed from the danger of being attacked by Huang Zhong and Ma Chao's armies, and from now on they only had to deal with the enemy forces in one direction.
But Xia Houyuan's face was still gloomy, because he was thinking more about how to deal with it in the future.
The opponent¡¯s two armies totaled 100,000 troops, which was overwhelming in numbers. Coupled with the recent attack on cities and territories, it was officially the time when morale was at its strongest.
As for himself, he was retreating steadily from Chencang to Shanggui. There was always a fear of war in the army.
There are even remnants of Cao Ren's troops who have just retreated here in Shanggui.
The two sides influence each other, and I am afraid that they have already lost three points before fighting the enemy.
Therefore, Xia Houyuan decided that he must win a game to dispel the negative emotions that filled the soldiers.
Only in this way can the reputation be restored and the soldiers can exert their maximum combat effectiveness in the next decisive battle.
The army was still retreating, and Xia Houyuan was always thinking about how to win a battle.
At this moment, a scout came from far ahead and came to Xia Houyuan.
¡°General, because the road ahead is narrow and difficult to navigate, the baggage vehicles are moving a bit slowly and the road is blocked tightly.
The soldiers could only wait until all the baggage vehicles had passed before they could pass. "
If in the past, such a delay in marching had occurred, Xia Houyuan would have been very anxious.
But today his eyes suddenly lit up.
"What's going on ahead?"
"General Qi, the front is called Longwang Valley. The mountain is steep and there is only a wooden plank road in disrepair that can pass through.
¡°And the heavy rain the day before washed away part of the plank road, which delayed the trip.
But the soldiers in front are repairing it, and they will be able to pass here in about an hour. "
Xia Houyuan nodded and suddenly drove his horse straight towards the plank road.
When Xia Houyuan arrived, he couldn't help laughing when he saw the scene in front of him.
Xiahou Ba beside him asked curiously: "Father, this place is so dangerous, and our army is trapped here now, why are you laughing?"
"Zhong Quan, you don't understand. Although this place is dangerous, it is not only for our army, but also for the enemy's army!
You see, the mountains on both sides of this place are steep, and the Wei River is surging below. The only way to pass is this winding and narrow plank road.
¡°And this plank road hangs on a cliff thousands of feet high. Once it is destroyed, the enemy will be trapped here.
At that time, our army will attack from the side and prevent the enemy from repairing the plank road. Then the enemy will be unable to move forward. Sooner or later, they will run out of food and fodder and return in embarrassment! "
Being exposed by Xia Houyuan in this way, Xiahou Ba finally showed an excited look on his face.
Before, he only thought about his own side, but ignored the enemy's situation. He was bound to be in trouble, but now he finally understood.
So, while the soldiers were repairing the plank road, Xia Houyuan also began to arrange his own ambush plan.
In fact, the plan is very simple. The strategy is to lure the enemy deep and then encircle and annihilate them.
Xia Houyuan first arranged some stragglers outside the plank road to pretend to be retreating rear troops.
After Huang Zhong¡¯s pursuers arrived, he immediately fled towards the plank road.
Until all Huang Zhong¡¯s troops were attracted to the plank road, they turned around and attacked the opponent.
Xia Houyuan led another group of people to ambush in the dense forest. When he saw Huang Zhong entering the plank road, he blocked the opponent's retreat.
When the time comes, there will be a flanking attack from both front and back, and on the narrow plank road, no matter how strong Huang Zhong is in time, he will not be able to?Can't be used.
"Then other than jumping into the Wei River, which is dozens of feet tall, the only other option is to be annihilated.
In this way, it will not only severely damage the enemy's morale and boost their prestige, but also deter the opponent from continuing to advance.
I might as well take advantage of this time to gather the troops in the cities west of Shanggui again.
When the opponent breaks through the blockade of the plank road in time, Xia Houyuan will no longer be afraid of the opponent after his troops have greatly increased.
After his plan was arranged, the damaged plank road was finally repaired and can continue to pass.
At this moment, looking from a distance, a cloud of smoke and dust was already rising from the place where he came before. It seemed that Huang Zhong was really chasing after him.
Therefore, Xia Houyuan immediately started taking action.
Xiahou Ba volunteered and led 500 men to serve as the rear army to wait for Huang Zhong.
Xia Houyuan, on the other hand, led a thousand soldiers and horses to find a secret place to ambush.
In addition, a thousand soldiers and horses were left on the plank road, commanded by Yang Fu, to respond to Xiahou Ba.
After everything was arranged, Huang Zhong's men and horses were approaching, and the rumble of horse hooves sounded on the ground.
Xiahou Ba pretended to be the last Cao Jun, and when he saw the other party arriving, he immediately pretended to be horrified.
"Haha, just as I expected, Xiahou'er was really scared and ran away. But with me here, I won't let him escape so easily!"
"Common man, don't insult my father, you must accept your life!"
Xiahou Ba¡¯s youthful face portrays an impulsive young boy very vividly.
Ling Huang Zhong also believed that he was going to fight with him regardless of retreating because of what he just said.
????????????????? However, this suited Huang Zhong¡¯s wishes and he immediately greeted him.
"Boy, you are a filial son. But even your father is no match for me. How can you defeat me by yourself?"
As expected, as soon as Xiahou Bafu fought with Huang Zhong, he immediately felt the power of the opponent's attack.
A single chop made both arms numb, and even the weapon in his hand was almost unsteady.
Seeing the other party¡¯s performance, Huang Zhong became even more proud.
"Okay! Let me take down the younger one first, and then deal with the older one. When the time comes, you and your son will be sent to Chang'an together and presented to His Majesty!"
Huang Zhong said, the attack on his hands became more fierce.
Xiahou Ba was beaten by the opponent and was losing ground. He was about to lose his chance.
At this time, the soldiers beside Xiahou Ba rushed forward to support him.
"General, retreat quickly, let us stop the pursuing troops!"
Under the protection of everyone, Xiahou Ba was finally rescued from Huang Zhong's sword.
He glanced at the other party in horror, and ran forward without hesitation. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
